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*

The funny thing is, she didn't actually feel unwell for a day! The whole mess started with a routine blood test, which she needs because of her medications, and still continues with the doctors pushing her around like a chess piece, and she still feeling well. Weird thing, it really is, as Sam Gamgee would say.

Must have been rather unsettling for her!

What would you like for your birthday? (apart from a collapsing thread, that is)

Well, I asked for a very special cake to be made. It's called Dobos torta (http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Dobos-Torte/Detail.aspx), and Granny used to bake it for me when I was much younger. We don't make it nowadays, because it's a complicated one to make, but this year we're going to have one... hopefully. We make it a lot simpler than in the recipe I've linked to, but it's every bit as delicious, I'm sure.

Also, we're going to the Museum of Arts to see a temporary Egyptian exposition. We don't really give another things for birthdays or Xmas anymore; we gift things like a movie, a visit in a museum or a short trip... that sort of presents.

*drools over cake recipe* Could you spare a slice for me? That cake looks deeeelicious! :-)

The trip to the museum sounds really interesting; such a fascinating culture. What a good idea, to give each other presents like that.

I'll try to remember to take a photo of a slice and upload it for you. ;)

As for the presents, we always say that we don't need more junk in the flat. What we see, however, especially if we experience it together, nobody can take from us.

You are up late, though. Put the family to bed to have some peace and quiet?

[lissas-elves.livejournal.com]

Ooooh - thank you, I'll look forward to the cake!

And you're quite right, I'm up late after the family went to bed. This is the time of day I enjoy the most - just me, alone, peace and quiet. Nice. :-)

Yeah, I know the feeling. As much as I love Mum - and I do love her very much - the moment when she switches the TV off and goes to bed is the best in the whole day.

It's nice to be just yourself every once in a while. I need it to stay (at least partially) sane.

So, one day closer to your birthday. I think some of the threads must be close to collapsing by now. :-)

I certainly hope it will happen, soon. Last time, on otherworlds_lib, it took artemis10002000 53 comments to make a thread collapse, IIRC. But there were only two or three threads to begin with, so with more threads, perhaps less comments would do.
*is hopeful*
