Let's Party!

[wiseheart]

Two years ago we had great fun with this thing. So, I thought, why not give it another try?

It's called the Collapsed Threads Game, and the goal is to have so many comments that the individual threads would collapse. Deadline is October 9 (next Thursday), which is my 52nd birthday. Yes, I'm actually that old, at least on paper. *g*

Two years ago, we had 250+ comments. I aim to break the record this time. So, talk to me, ask questions, send people my way, have fun - the goal is to reach at least four pages. More were better, but four pages full of collapsed threads would be wonderful, too.

I won't have a birthday party in RL, so let's throw one in cyberspace and have a good time, eh?

Oh, and I'll bounce up the entry date each day till October 9, so that newcomers can join the party, too. The more, the merrier. *g*

Fazit:
Many heartfelt thanks to all those who came to my virtual party: those who generated interesting discussions, those who sent me virtual cake and those who just dropped by to brighten my day. I had great fun, I had inspiring discussions, and we have broken the record - thank you!

Special thanks to altariel and the_wild_iris who sent many new, lovely visitors to the party - I hope some of you will drop by from time to time later.

Thanks again, it was great fun... the best party I could have imagined.

Addendum:
And lookie, I got a wonderful birthday ficlet from Larner! Am so pleased! It has been forever since anyone gifted a birthday fic upon me. *is happy*

Astrology - fun or fiction?

[mistry89.livejournal.com]

And that was my subconscious speaking *g*

Will try again later :)

For my part, I don't really believe in it, but I won't try to talk anyone else out of it.

Which type of astrology? There's a few different systems.

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

There are?

[missyvortexdv.livejournal.com]

At the very least there's the Western zodiac and the Chinese year based astrology, but I'm sure there are more. Yep, a quick google shows there's Indian Vedic (mooon signs based? and possible of Greek origins) and as I thought also Mayan-Aztec MesoAmerican system though I know little of any of those.

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

Well, it makes sense, doesn't it? As much as the Mayas were enamoured in their calendar...

I think that the time of year you are born influences your personality.I note most of my friends share my birth month.Maybe it is the gravitational pull of the planets or something?I believe there is a book on the subject.

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

You really think it can have a meaning? All the people who share my birth month or that of my mother have been very different, so far.

[lindahoyland.livejournal.com]

I seem to have far more in common with my September friends than those born in other months.

Something truly creepy happened this year. I have 2 friends, 1 male, 1 female, with birthdays the day after each other,born a yeat apart in different parts of the world. Both have suffered from an identical form of cancer.When I noticed the dates recently I shuddered.

Lots of very long lived people seem to be born in August, bossy sex maniacs , dictators, conductors and politicians in April or May and Generals in November.

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

Then, it seems, we are safe enough. Although, being a bossy sex maniac... nah, I'm too old for that already!

[lindahoyland.livejournal.com]

I'm too old too,thank Goodness for the sex maniac part, still young enough to be bossy!

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

As long as you're a nice bossy person, it's not so bad, I think.

[lindahoyland.livejournal.com]

I think my cat Leo is ever bossier than I am!

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

Felines do have it in them, I'm told. *g*

And you're the winner. Your comment was officially #350!

[lindahoyland.livejournal.com]

Oh I'm pleeased to be the winner!It was fun playing!

I always swore no male would boss me around,but I make exceptions for the feline variety!

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

Felines are an exception of about everything. They are just... different, I think. If I had a house with a garden, I'd keep a cat, too - or s/he'd keep me, it's a matter of perspective. But you can't keep an animal in a small concrete flat - at least not in my opinion.

[lindahoyland.livejournal.com]

I agree with you.I think it is cruel to keep cats as indoor only pets whatever some people think to the contrary.They are wild creatures at heart.

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

Which is the very reason why in the heart of my hearts I am a cat person.
