So, it is party time again, folks!

[wiseheart]

Each year this time, we launch my virtual birthday party, which starts on October 1 and ends on October 9 at midnight, sharp. The goals of the party are to post as many comments and collapse as many threads as possible, on as many new pages as we can. It is always great fun, as you can see if you check out the similar entries of the last few years.

This year, I'll also throw the real party at mid-time - and post the recipes of all the food that will be there for you, so that you can all participate if you want to. Virtual food has no calories.

Fandom-related discussions are as welcome as the ones about coffee or chocolate (just to name a few favourites from previous years), and, of course, pictures and recipes of birthday cakes. ;)

So, drop by, tell your story, post your pics or silly poems, ask questions you always wanted to ask and have a good time!

Soledad, in excited expectation




Oh, and by the way, to provide birthday gifts hobbit-style, I've got a revived story and a Kansas 2 update for you.

Enjoy!

Well done!

Hello, my loves! Thanks for propelling us to page 3, and sorry for being late. The party was a great success, my guests and I had a grand time. Mum toasted with us, and then retreated to my room (we had the party in the living room, the only one you can stuff 6 people in and still breathe) to nap a bit in front of the telly and woke up many times to our uproarious laughter.

The folks were greatly impressed with the variety of foods, and made heroic attempts to try everything. We'll still be eating leftovers for a week, but that's okay, as I made only things either Mum or both of us like, so at least we'll spare us a few days' cooking.

Even so, nobody managed to try the bombastic apple-cinnamon cheesecake, so I packed huge chunks for everyone as a farewell gift. :)

And yes, I know that is one recipe I still owe you. I'll post it tomorrow when my brain functions welll enough to translate it from German.

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

Ma'am, yes, Ma'am! We'll do our best to make you proud, Ma'am!

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

Your wish is my command, Ma'am!

Oh, and I forgot to mention that one of my guests couldn't come because her handbag was stolen and she had to run off to get her credit cards freezed and stuff.

Typically, she was the one who had my birthday present. So I can keep looking forward to it till Tuesday.

I never cared much for the visual tricks. I prefer the plot and the characterizations. If those are good, I don't mean if the monster is a guy in a rubber suit and if I can spot household items used as futuristic tools to steer a spaceship. And some of the Jon Pertwee era stories are really good in that area.

Personally, I think instant is blasphemy, but everyone must find what works for them.

We make a middle strength espresso, the kind where you can still discover the taste of coffee, not just the bitterness.

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

Indeed.

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

I do, but even if I didn't usually, the party consists of comments, so losing them again would be really sad.

I live in one of the outer districts of the capitol, on the second floor of a ten-storey concrete monstrosity. In the olden days, here there was a village of its own, wich you can still see on some of the small side streets.

Traffic is very good: we have got three tram lines and two bus lines on the next street behind the building and one bus line on the one in front of the building, but nothing in our actual street. So we have a quiet little lane in which we live and excellent connections in both parallel streets.

Happy virtual birthday! I love the little wizard hat cookies complete with stars. So cute!

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

Thanks! :)
It's good to hear from you again. How are you doing?

[sammydragoncat]

It sounds as if everyone had a great time; and leftovers are a great thing!

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

They are, aren't they? Not having to cook for days compensates you for the frantic baking and cooking for the party. :))

[elmey.livejournal.com]

A very Happy Birthday! Then I'm not too late yet for the virtual party, am I. I'm going to check out what everyone else has brought, then I'll scour the internet for what you still need and come back with it later :)

Zebra finch icon! Oh, that brings back memories, I used to breed them. Or try to breed them anyway. They never seemed to like who I paired them with so I didn't get many chicks.

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

No worries! The party will be going on for another 5 days.
Welcome!

[rcfinch.livejournal.com]

But it's nice to know they had a mind of their own.

[bk_forever]

It is. I was just probably the most unsuccessful breeder ever, lol! That was long ago though, the aviary is long gone.

They're great little birds, so full of character. I loved watching them flitting around, and I love the sound they make. Happy, busy little birds.

I am back! Rather later than I had hoped, since I have actually only been back home for fifteen minutes. The good news, is that I managed to get the things I had planned to do at work today done. The bad news is it took me a lot longer than I had hoped. On the other hand, I did manage to also do my weekly grocery shop on the way home, so I won't have to fit that in tomorrow.

I am going to have my dinner of left-over pizza from last night, now, while browsing through the new comments in this party. My left-overs won't last as long as yours -- I had some for lunch as well; three meals is pretty good for one order I think -- but then I didn't have to 'slave over a hot stove' for it, to use an expression of my mother's.

[solanpolarn.livejournal.com]

All the biscuits look yummy, but I think the wizard hat ones look the best!

[espresso-addict.livejournal.com]

I don't remember the plots being particularly great during the Tom Baker era but to be honest I don't remember it too clearly.

Respect!
