This is a happy post. It is long and has a fair bit of lead-in.

It is, in fact, a determinedly happy post. Yesterday's news was tragic and horrifying, and something like personal, except not--it's whatever the word might be when cities are connected in a meaningful way. Boston and Halifax go way back, and also my parents lived there long before I was born. I haven't spent much time there at all, but I know ( Read more... )

What a slyboots you are about your birthday! I guess I will give you your birthday greetings here instead of on my LJ. Happy birthday!

The awesomeness that happened is because you have folks who love you and know who you are. I have found that's very important.

I'm glad you had a wonderful time!

Thank you on all counts! And I'm really incredibly blessed on the friends front. ^_^

Happy belated birthday!! I know there are a lot of people who are twitchy about their birthdays, and for the life of me I can't figure out why. I mean, I personally don't care if people know when my birthday is. Maybe it's just me. I dunno.

Thank you! And yeah, I don't really know why I get twitchy. It's been that way as long as I can remember.

This story is so wonderful that it just had me bouncing and flailing with glee! I am SO happy that you have such wonderful friends, because I don't know anyone who deserves them more!

It was SO GREAT. *_* And I do have truly lovely friends. (Someday perhaps you'll meet them! I have quiet hope about this.) Also, many of my awesome friends are online. ^_-

The girl is...I think about halfway through Feed now? Maybe a bit more? And Pumpkin doesn't give her time for long emails, but I'll be seeing her tonight at another friend's birthday party (and I must not, MUST NOT steal her away and ask to hear all about it in great detail).

Actually, one of the reasons I love talking to her about these things is very similar to why I also love it with you. You're both very sensitive to undercurrents and cues in the text, which is really neat for me to see, since I know what's coming. *^^*

And speaking of the party, I suppose I should peel myself away from the computer and go put on presentable clothing. (Not that anyone would care at all if I turned up in my pajamas.)
