Happy birthday to my almost-twin, indiana_j! May today be full of awesome. :)

So, my birthday's on May 10. I had a great idea for gifts, for those people already planning to do that (and yes, I'll be reposting this to my Facebook to grab the locals ;) ). And, actually, this will probably do for Christmas as well. Or any other random gift-giving time.

I want Shirts.

Basically, almost all of my current wearable shirts are Dexcon remainders or Guinness St. Patrick's Day handouts or work shirts that are being retired because my belt wears holes in the front. But! There are dozens of awesome shirts out there which are fun and geeky and me-themed! So, as a challenge to my friends who were getting me a present already, go forth and find the most "me" shirt you can think of! Size Large (yeah, yeah, I'm a large these days, I'm working on it) and the preference is for the longer torso ones so they don't roll up my back all the time. ;P

Potential vendors:

Think Geek

Threadless

Woot Shirt

Snorg Tees

Band shirts, baseball (Blue Jays) or AFL (Sydney Swans) shirts, and even dorky tourist shirts from Australia are also welcome. :)

And there, I have Pimped. Go forth and shirt me, minions. ;)

Happy birthday to our own seraangel, whose birthday it is today in the northern 'sphere! Hope you had a great day, Raphie Sis. May you be happy, healthy and content.

I already did the greeting thing on Facebook, but indiana_j is awesome enough for double-duty. ;) Happy birthday, Miss Jen! Thanks for being fantabulous!

So, May 10 is my 20th annual 21st birthday (see what I did there?) and for the sake of those people asking me "what do you want?", I present the usual Amazon lists:

Amazon.ca

Amazon.com (which also has non-Amazon items from my universal wishlist on it)

Should someone be considering giftage of the non-monetarial sort, I'm open for drabbles, layouts, icons, and birthday wishes. Also, removing things from the wiki to-do list would be awesome.


Thus ends the yearly birthday list awkwardness. Roll on the Christmas list awkwardness!

Today is ferox's birthday, thus it is a Very Important Day! Happy birthday! Hope it's been a good one so far!

So, yesterday was busy. Helena came over and we took over Aisy's apartment for the Great Christmas Cookie Bake Off. Yes, folks, I was involved in the creation of cookies. And they turned out pretty damn good, too. ;) Ten dozen of the buggers, so now I have cookies for work Christmas gifts (barring two people who are gluten intolerant, who I have ideas for) and all I need to do is package them nicely.

Yesterday (well, today, actually, but yesterday in Australia Time) was my mum's 60th birthday. I tried to call and wish her a happy one, but the phone was engaged, so I shall try again after work tonight. But I did try! And I shall wish her a happy birthday here, too, with the birthday cake icon and everything:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MUM!!!

After baking, we had dinner down at 17 Steps, which was amazing as always. So much love for that place, I want to share it with everyone I know. I went back upstairs, but I was kind restless, so I went back down to 17 Steps and watched A Nightmare Before Christmas with folks - there's kind of an informal Sunday night movie night going on. That did the trick in terms of making me sleepy, even if my dreams were extremely weird, including coming to the first aid rescue of three cyclists who had crashed due to one slipping on wet leaves on the road and taking out two other people. Yay road rash, not.

Now for the meme:

Day One: Ten things you want to say to ten different people right now.
Day Two: Nine things about yourself.
Day Three: Eight ways to win your heart.
Day Four: Seven things that cross your mind a lot.
Day Five: Six things you wish you’d never done.
Day Six: Five people who mean a lot to you (in no order whatsoever).
Day Seven: Four turn-offs.
Day Eight: Three turn-ons.
Day Nine: Two images that describe your life right now, and why.
Day Ten: One confession.

( Seven things that cross my mind a lot.Collapse )

HAPPY BIRTHDAY frito_kal!!!

Have a terrific day, mate. :)

For our very own seraangel. Happy returns of the day and best wishes for the year, mate. *hugs*

dexfarkin is turning another year older today! Be sure to wish him a very happy birthday!

Happy birthday wishes to evilwildlex, who has a birthday today! Sorry I can't make your dinner, mate, but there will be making up for it done. :) Have a great day!

And I am a bad, bad friend.

Happy birthday to technophobia, who has had a less than stellar day today but who made a very difficult decision for the sake of personal conviction. *hugs* Well done, mate, and hopefully things will improve for you.

...since I have one of my tension headaches and while my brain has stopped trying to ooze out of my right eye, thanks to the drugs Bev gave me, I'm still not a happy bunny.

1) evilwildlex and I went and saw Jonathan Coulton last night, using the tickets dexfarkin and ferox gave me for my birthday. It was a great show and lots of fun. Much laughing was had.

2) Today (well, today on this side of the planet) is qodarkness's birthday. Happy Being Born Celebrations to my evil brain twin!

3) I've had social life out the wazoo lately. At some point I shall tell you all about it, when I'm not a) out and about or b) recovering from being out and about.

Today I am 40 years old. I am possibly still a bit drunk (if my typing is anything to go by!) following the shots that were bestowed upon me last night, I'm at work and Jane is here. I've also started the day with a can of Coke.

Yep, today will be interesting indeed.

The party Saturday was fantastic, even with the change of plans due to the weather gods emphatically making a point that outside in May wasn't going to happen (gale force winds, icy rain, temperatures of 5 degrees C and a forecast of possible snow overnight!). Thank you so much to everyone who came, and to Mindy and Johnny who cleaned their house for us to use and to Dex and Mindy who made oodles of delicious food. :) Chicken mole for the win.

And now I'm going to go see Jane. And hope I don't reek of tequila. ;)

Post-Jane Edit: So, Jane cracked a rib over the weekend. *facepalms* But she also gave me a $40 gift card for Second Cup (that's a lot of coffee!) and not a lot in the way of work (whoot!). And Sonia gave me some very pretty flowers. I like today so far.

For those who are on LJ and attending, we'll be having our party on May 8 and Chez Devil - i.e., Johnny and Mindy have kindly agreed to host us in their backyard. Starts around... sevenish? Lauren? That okay?

I'm having an OMG busy day. But at least Jane bought me lunch and agrees my neice is the cutest thing in the world. :)

I can't believe I forgot this morning when I saw her, but...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ferox!!!

Have a lovely day. You deserve it, lovey.


(I plead lack of caffiene and morning brain)

Just as a head's up - May 8 is The Party for Jen, Lauren and I. We're in the process of looking for a venue, but those of you in town, who I might have missed on the Facebook invite, keep the date free. :)

(If I did miss you on the Facebook invite, ping me and let me know - I'm a bit vague atm.)

And, should you be wondering, yes I have an Amazon list. The day for me is May 10.

Two, one belated because it was yesteday, Australian time, one belated because it was yesterday, EST.

Happy birthday to tywyllwch, whose user name I still need to copy and paste. ;) Happy birthday for yesterday, mate - I hope you had a great dinner and are having a great holiday. :)

And January 13 marks the first anniversary of a Very Important Event - me becoming an auntie. Zoe Lee had her 1st birthday, yesterday in Australia/today here. *throws confetti* She's as adorable as ever, as the photographic evidence from Christmas (sent by my own auntie Lea), can attest:





Also, a bunch of new Zoe photos are up here Pages 10 and 11, spanning October to December.

On her actual birthday, d'uh...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY FRITO!!!

Happy birthday to frito_kal!!! This LJ post entitles you to a Wiki page update of the page of your choice. ;)

Because the 'flu ate my brain...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY FOR YESTERDAY, erindubitably!

Happy birthday to stratford_girl, even tho' she told us not to acknowledge it. *grins* Have a good one, mate.

Technically it was yesterday, Aussie-time, but the flu ate my head and I couldn't even remember what the date here was, let alone in Australia. However, happy birthday to seraangel, a generous friend and wonderful human being. *hugs* Hope you had a great day, mate.

I feel kind of bad for forgetting until now, because this is a very special person who has done so much for me I can never repay her. Happy birthday for yesterday, thatpalebluedot. You are truly a gem among people and I wish you so much - if anyone deserves happiness and peace and glitter, it is you. *hugs*

Happy birthday dexfarkin, the best roomie I've ever had.

Many happy returns to incandescently. Have a good day, mate.

Happy birthday technophobia! Consider this post a token for a free Wiki update. Just let me know what (character, plot, etc) you want doing. :)

Happy birthday to maureenans! May your day bring glitter and scantily-clad men who look and sing like David Bowie.

Happy birthday hopeness! May your day be bright.

I'm at work in my birthday suit. I'm getting lots of attention.


I'm also hugely sleep deprived. Mainlining coffee.

Back to work today - yesterday ended up being an inadvertant day off as I completely slept through my alarm and had Squidgy Stomach: Revenge of the Ulcer. It was worth it, however - best birthday party I've had in ages. :) Thanks also to all those who sent birthday wishes through various forms of media.

Now back to work, and to respond to the outstanding logs I've been staring stupidly at all yesterday. *wry*

Oh, and a brief PSA - my cell phone is, for the meantime, sans minutes and not working. I'll try and get it back up after payday on Thursday.

So, it's a couple of weeks, more or less, until my birthday. Just randomly, my Amazon wishlists are here:

Amazon Canada

Amazon US

I also wouldn't say no to paid time/extra icons on any of my Livejournals: x_wytchbrat, x_penance and deathpixie. Icons, fics, banners and art are also welcomed for those having a fiscal crisis.

Okay, I feel dirty now. *wry*

Since I am in fact, posting FROM THE FUTURE!!!!

To ferox, many happy birthday wishes today. Have a terrific day and thank you for everything, pretty girl. :)

Happy birthday to the Magnificent Bastard himself, alasdair. Have a great day.

This time the amazing fixeight. Happy birthday, mate. I shall have to plot with the roommate about a suitable birthday dinner response. ;)

Happy birthday to my brother, David, who turns 37 on the 18th and who is the father of a gorgeous baby girl. You done good, bro, and have a great day. *hugs*

Happy birthday to nute. May this year bring everything you want.

Coming in late, but happy birthday to frito_kal this fine fall day. :)

Happy birthday diamond_dust06! May your day be filled with sushi. :)

On an additional note, today's forecast high is 4 degrees C and there were flecks of snow falling as I came to work. Looks like we're fast-tracking autumn.

Happy birthday to amythyst7, whose anniversary of being born is today! *throws confetti and streamers*

Happy birthday to seraangel, who has been a friend of mine for a very long time, and who means more to me than I usually say. Hope you had a great day yesterday (curse your time travelling time zone!), mate and can't wait to see you at New Years.

And in Canada, when you get your visa and move here. ;)

The best birthday gifts are the ones that make dexfarkin choke up. I win. :)

Happy birthday to my roomie, dexfarkin. Hope it's a great day, and see you tonight.

PS: Spike is driving me nuts with the clingy. He misses you again.

Since the time zones make up for me being technically a day late... Happy Birthday _bounce_! Hope you had a great day, and first drink's on me next time I see you. *hugs*

Happy birthday, dumbphilomel! May there be cake and bunnies!

Sneaking in a little late to wish incandescently a very happy day. :) Treat yourself to a "you" day, mate, and enjoy yourself.

Many happy returns to technophobia. Have a good one, mate. :)

Because I'm a bad Rossi... Happy Birthday for yesterday, avariel_wings! May this year bring you everything you want.

PS: I have a written-type gift in mind, but I need to do the research. ;)

This time for lheena. Many happy returns, mate, and may the creepy guy at work leave you alone. ;)
