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!

I think we have a chance of breaking a thousand before the end. What was the previous record, Soledad?

[jenn-calaelen.livejournal.com]

Certainly feels like 1000 is possibly.

[espresso-addict.livejournal.com]

If we keep on chattering like starlings...

[jenn-calaelen.livejournal.com]

Maybe I'll even get back to the conversations on the previous page at some point. (I feel like I've been dropping things at random)

[espresso-addict.livejournal.com]

I'm tending to respond to things that end up in my inbox, and neglect all the interesting conversations going on not in response to my comments.

[jenn-calaelen.livejournal.com]

Sounds like an easier way - I seem to be wandering round in circles a bit at the moment, and staring at comments, trying to think of replies - rather out of brain at the moment, I think.

[espresso-addict.livejournal.com]

Sounds like you need a coffee -- I certainly do!

[jenn-calaelen.livejournal.com]

I've got myself more tea - lots of honey and lemon. I really want to zap this cold and cough soon.

[espresso-addict.livejournal.com]

Good luck with the zapping -- I hate colds. They're surprisingly debilitating, I find, especially as I grow older.

[jenn-calaelen.livejournal.com]

I'm currently at a week and a half on this one, and so really want to be better soon.

[espresso-addict.livejournal.com]

The idea that colds only last ~5 days is definitely wrong -- I had one earlier in the year that lasted three weeks, and my muscles didn't recover for a few weeks after that. Sigh.

Hoping you feel better soon!

[jenn-calaelen.livejournal.com]

Thanks.

They usually last a fair while for me - probably interacting with everything else.

[lhun-dweller.livejournal.com]

Oh dear! Wishing you well Real Soon(tm)!

[jenn-calaelen.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

[sammydragoncat]

I hope you feel better soon - I hate being sick.

[jenn-calaelen.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I do too.

That would have been two years ago, when LJ ate the party. We were up around 1600 or so, I think, but there were a lot more people participating.

However, I find I don't really care about breaking any records. I'm having such a nice time with you lovely ladies, such interesting conversations, that the rest doesn't count.

[espresso-addict.livejournal.com]

Ah, I don't think we're going to beat that! A thousand is a good round number to aim for, though.

[jenn-calaelen.livejournal.com]

And already over 900 :)

[espresso-addict.livejournal.com]

Indeed! We are made of awesome!

[lhun-dweller.livejournal.com]

Indeed, we are awesomeful!

[jenn-calaelen.livejournal.com]

It is a great party - so much fun :)
