happy birthday to me

[chelidon]

Okay, this has been one of the more bizarre starts to a new natal year I can remember, wonder what it augurs about the year to come. Come 10pm tonight, I shall officially be another year closer to venerable curmudgeonhood.

On another note, you know you've been flying rather a lot when your airline sends you a birthday card. Southwest Air (I *love* them) sent me a cool 3-D card with the nifty 3-D glasses.

But I can't complain a bit -- life is very, very good, if not simple, and I have four consecutive nights of birthday-related mayhem planned with friends and family. Saturday night I get to wear a whole bunch of peacock feathers! (no, I'm not going to explain that)

I've always figured getting older is what happens to you if you're lucky. May we all be so lucky.

Yours in aging well,

--Chelidon

Happy Birthday! I had a dream about you last night.

CLOSER to curmudgeonhood? Hon, you've been there for years. ;)

[chelidon.livejournal.com]

Really? Was I having fun? ;>

Thanks for the wishes, and for the compliment -- I figure True Curmudgeonhood is a Life's Work and Art. Too young, or too little practice, and ya just come off as cranky and mean. Oh, wait...

See y'all soon! It's looking like Feather's flying in for the bardic, too -- you remember him, right? Woo hoo, gonna be a rockin' time :>

[draiguisge.livejournal.com]

Uhm, yes you were having fun. So was I. And Kelly. And, uhm ... yeah better shut up now. :)

Woo hoo about the bardic, the more the merrier! I remember Feather. Vaguely. Playing pool in the Hermitage house, I think.

Gosh! Sounds like a party! Sheesh, next time, if I'm going to be involved in a dream like that, tell me to remember it afterwards, okay?! That sounds way too good to forget... ;>

Yeah, Feather is the amazingly talented guitarist/singer/blacksmith/microwave engineer, kinda scruffy-looking, sweet guy, new daddy, too!

Aww...

...don't shut up. I'd be interested in hearing more details... ;>

Shhh, I'll tell you about later dah-link ... wouldn't want any incriminating evidence in Chel's journal. ;)

Well, *that's* a relief. Here I go trying to keep a pure, chaste, family-values LJ, and then here come all of these wicked, lascivious *degenerates* (you know who you are), writing and insinuating all *kinds* of lewd, perverse things all over my virginal lily-white pages, I just *don't* know what to do...

Re: Aww...

[lylythe-strega.livejournal.com]

Yer not fooling anybody, y'know... :>

Fine, Amy. For the incriminating lasciviousness, I can wait.

But not too long... ;>

Say hi to Feather for me!! Did I tell you about the time he saved my father from marital doom over an anniversary present?

P.S. Please e-mail me at eedge at centralgatech dot edu, if you get a minute.

[chelidon.livejournal.com]

Ooh, no, that's a new one to me. I'll certainly pass along your greetings!

[eeedge.livejournal.com]

Many happy returns of the day!

[k-navit.livejournal.com]

Congratulations on the cool glasses!

Oh, and the birthday too :-)

[kiramor.livejournal.com]

In the words of my people, I say, "Fliegende Kinderscheisse!"

Thanks, dude.

Happy Birthday to you! May the next year bring heaps of blessings to your curmudgeonly (and non-curmudgeonly) self!

Happy birthday! Have a good one!

Happy Birthday! You don't still have that video, do you? :)

[chelidon.livejournal.com]

Thanks! Someone in the house does, anyway...despite my attempts over the years to get rid of the evidence...who thought bringing a video camera to a surprise party was a good idea? Must've been Roth, blasted troublemaker... ;> Do you realize that was exactly 10 years ago? Wow.

Oh, and I also still have the, er, wee bit o' leather Jim and Wayne gifted me with that 'eve. Waste not, want not ;>
