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!

Sounds very delicious!

I'm in about the same state as before, but quite happy as I had show jumping to watch on tv today and mostly hid from everything for a while.

This party is really going! Page 7 with 1172 (as of writing this) comments. Can we make it to 1200 before wiseheart's midnight?

That sounds a very generous gift! I hope you manage to figure out the manual before your next birthday.

I'm very tired, actually. Had an unpleasant day at school, with a minor breakdown, ate too many sweets to keep anything major at bay - sweets always help with depressive phases, but unfortunately, they make fat - and tomorrow I'll have to be at school for almost 9 hours, through 4 of which I'll be sitting uselessly in the teachers' room, just in case someone falls out, so I'm not particularly looking forward to the next day, either.

[jenn-calaelen.livejournal.com]

Good luck sorting it out. I usually find that manuals don't have the information you really need - just lots of very complicated and very simple bits (eg so many with the section on how to plug the device in).

[solanpolarn.livejournal.com]

I would say so, since we reached 'lots' quite some time ago! ;-)

[jenn-calaelen.livejournal.com]

*hugs*

I can't resist responding to say welcome! Even though this virtual party is nominally somewhere in Europe, and we're side by side in front of the nice warm fire...

[jenn-calaelen.livejournal.com]

Indeed!

[solanpolarn.livejournal.com]

Instantaneous travel in time and space, now that would be something!

[solanpolarn.livejournal.com]

Those are lovely cats! Is the one in the icon yours too?

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

Exactly! And how many seconds you're allowed to push the turbo button in one go, and how many minutes do you have to let the stupid thing rest in-between and so on.

[solanpolarn.livejournal.com]

Yay! It reached you on the day! And you liked it; I really hoped you would. I am sorry work keeps throwing you small unpleasantnesses, but I am very happy I managed to brighten your day!

[espresso-addict.livejournal.com]

Sitting in watching television is the best thing to do when in the throes of a cold!

[lindahoyland.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much.

[lindahoyland.livejournal.com]

Thank you

[jenn-calaelen.livejournal.com]

1187 now.... I think we can!

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

Yeah, and I have to rearrange the kitchen cupboard, too, to find a place for the thing - preferably a place where I can reach it by demand without removing half the cupboard's contents first.

But it was very generous of them indeed. :)

[jenn-calaelen.livejournal.com]

*nods* So complicated.

[espresso-addict.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry -- it's a pity everything can't work out to make one's birthday run smoothly. (My last one fell on the day when Mr EA had his knee surgery! We forgot to celebrate entirely because Mr EA didn't feel well enough to go out until after Christmas.

Can you hog a computer again and do some more typing in?

[sammydragoncat]

mmm truffles.

Congratulations on the house sale/purchase!

[lindahoyland.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much. The icon is my old Ginger who died in March. I also have 17 year old Leo

[jenn-calaelen.livejournal.com]

It is a good distraction from it.

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

Your timing was perfect! But you're a scientist, after all.
I'll take the card with me to school tomorrow - perhaps the kids would like to make something similar for the Christmas charity fair.

[solanpolarn.livejournal.com]

That is a very lovely comment! I am glad you are getting some of them, and not just the unfriendly, unhelpful ones.
