Happy Btthhhhdddayy

[likethebeer]

It's my birthday, dammit! 37 today. 37 feels like a headache from drinking.

Went to Danny's memorial last night. I cried. I cried for him, and I cried for Marianne, and for all the people there who were going to miss him. Danny's kids had never been up here, and were really fascinated by the stars, and the people. In a stroke of genius, one of the organizers asked that Marianne get all of her husband's hats (you always saw him with a hat on), and they were placed up on the wall, stretching from side to side. And 2 other people blew up some photographs that had been taken of Danny, and some with him & his kids, or Marianne, and put 'em on the same wall.

Ok, I thought that I was supposed to get a paid account for my birthday. That's one of the things that I specifically asked for. The person who was going to get it for me is actually going to Madison to get me something else, I hope. I hope he gets me a computer that can play Outcast. Now, I have a free lunch to get, and half-price clothes at the Bargain Nook in town. Well, after I shower.

If I don't get a move-on, I'll miss breakfast :)

Happy Birthday! I wish I was there to make your special childhood cake....

Aw, thanks. We had burritoes (and I had to spell that correctly about 7 times!)

Happy damned birthday, mate!

[likethebeer.livejournal.com]

I'm trying to make this year, "Not give a damned shit" year.

Hey! Happy Birthday! I'll buy you a drink next time we're in the same city.

[likethebeer.livejournal.com]

Thanks, I will, too! There may be a few too many of those, I'm afraid.

Happy birthday to you! I'll dedicate my post-breakfast drink to you.

[likethebeer.livejournal.com]

That makes me feel extra special. I was out having our town's birthday special: free entree at one place, 1/2 priced clothes at another, so my post-breakfast drink was coffee (surprise).

Mine was orange juice and sparkly booze.

Sparkly bo-oze for a sparkly lay-dee.

That's a hell of a birthday deal.

I'll work on the sparkles. I have a reputation to uphold. Oooh--come to think of it, I bought sort of a sparkly shirt yesterday (1/2 price).

The 1/2 priced clothes come from a used clothing store. Actually, it's a charity store--people donate the clothes, so giving me 50% of something still means they mak 50% of something. They get a lot of things from Land's End that are in pretty good shape. The sparkly shirt did not come from Land's End.

Thanks!

I'm sorry I missed the memorial. It was important for us to honor our MN committment, but it was difficult to be absent.

[likethebeer.livejournal.com]

You can't plan these things. It was good. I got to give Greg M. a big smootch on the lips. He was teary. Damn, he used to talk to Danny 3-4 times a week.

Happy birthday! (although technically, I am 3 minutes into the day after your birthday now)

Love! Love! Love to you!

[likethebeer.livejournal.com]

I was hoping I'd hear from you! Thanks! I think I'll have some butter pecan ice cream, sit on my sleeping bf's feet, and watch a rerun of the West Wing :)

Hiya, happy birthday (ok so I'm always late to the party!)

I'm Denise, I'm friending you 'cuz i dig your comments on the various other friends-of-livsmama that I've come across, and damn butter pecan ice cream and west wing sound dandy. And you don't think Alan Cumming is creepy like pretty much all my friends but me do. I may not be the best authority, though, as I had a humongous thing for Kevin Spacey for like 5 years, heh. Nobody needed to know that, but, uh, there ya go!

[likethebeer.livejournal.com]

Denise--I'm Keiran (Like the beer). I've added you. Thanks for introducing yourself.

As anyone here can tell you, prepare yourself to hear a lot more about Frank Lloyd Wright (FLLW) and Taliesin (http://www.taliesinpreservation.org/) (which is where I work) than you ever thought possible. I usually put all my FLLW stuff in friends only.

well i'm late late late....but i wanted the prompt people to have plenty of space to post. I'm making an effort to give LJ more attention again so maybe I can come back around to being a fully informed and good friend again. I have been admittedly lax of late. It's tricky with the traveling to build deeper relationships with people.

Anyway....all of that just to say Happy Birthweek!

[likethebeer.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

I think a cool thing about you & lj is when you travel, b/c it's so hard to explain your life, otherwise. I felt like I had the inside scope, before your husband got an lj, b/c people would ask about jujupees from time to time.

I was thinking aobut your coolness last night in a fever-induced haze. That, and a story about the Rapture. When I wasn't going through one of the Outcast worlds in my head (Shamazaar). Best thing about this sickness has been the vivid imaginings, since the "sick" feeling was more sick than druggy (my usual preferred sick experience).

[jujupees.livejournal.com]

It's a little strange, but you're making me want to come over and catch your bug so I can see the pretty colors too.

[likethebeer.livejournal.com]

Well, from what I experienced, ti's bound to catch up with you. You could lick a few tabletops in your home b/c there were a couple of people in your house on Sunday with this cold (although I don't think it was contagious by that time).
