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!

She does react to text messages - unfortunately, texting is expensive over here, especially texting abroad. She told me she no longer had the attention span for LJ... whatever that is supposed to mean.

I miss her, too.

I hate this exodus from LJ. It used to be such a lively place, and now I feel like a fossil for not abandoning it for some form of microblog (a thing I abhor more than aubergine!).

I agree, it is a sad thing. LJ was such a great way to keep tab on your friends, to discuss shared interest leisurely... Perhaps we are fossils, but why shouldn't we intent on keeping our fossilic ways when they suit us better?

I don't feel the urge to join every new internet phenomenon and abandon the good things we've had for a decade or more. This entire faster, faster, faster tendency makes my brain hurt. Plus, I find Twitter and Co utterly confusing.

I've never had much to do with Twitter (I don't text, either) but Tumblr -- argh! I can't make head or tale of it.

And, oooh, I managed to change my icon, without having to preview and reset it! Let's see if this works...

Nope! Sigh. I don't know what LJ is playing at.
