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!

Now this will hopefully start a new page: as Gwendolyn Farifax says in one of my favourite plays The Importance of Being Earnest by Oscar Wilde: "The suspence is killing me. I hope it will last!"

Any other Wilde fans at this party?

I'm afraid I never read anything else but some really short things by him, like The Happy Prince.

The Importance of Being Earnest was shown on Swedish television when I was in my early teens, and we recorded it on a video tape. For years it was my sister's and my go-to thing to watch if we had nothing better to do; it got to the point where we could probably quote it all by-heart! Surprisingly the tape didn't actually wear out. I looked for that version of the play for ages without finding it, and then one day when I had almost forgotten it I looked at some DVD box sets in a knick-knack shop in Leamington Spa and there was a set of Oscar Wilde plays and 'our' version of The Importance of Being Earnest was one of them! I bought it on the spot, not bother about how much it was!

Yes :)
I love his plays - partly because everyone in them gets to be funny and mocked to the same sort of level, and it is such fun comparing different versions, because they always take bits out and it is fun to try and spot what is missing (or added - like the recent film)
