Tardiness, it's my gift ...

HOW AM I SO FAR BEHIND?? Right. I think I started cocking up on birthdays around about February, so let's just deal with the most immediate lapses of usefulness on my part.

IMMENSELY HAPPY BIRTHDAY to sarcasticpixie ! Suzie darling, you are political fiend and cat lover after my own heart. Have a wonderful day, dear, and do run for office before you turn 40. Because Emmanuel is fun, but your campaign Twitter stream would be GOLD.

BRY! bryoneybrynn , who I truly believe will one day finish the Story that Must Not Be Named, but not before I finish the one you can almost talk about without making me squeak in guilt, which according to the terms of our ancient pact means that your lot have to at least get out of bed ;-) -- HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DEAR! If you say one single word about now being old I will a. throw things in your direction, b. roll my eyes from my almost decade-older vantage point, and c. scoff. I hope that you are having a fabulous day and that the present fairies have splashed out with something lovely.

And a wee bit late, GREAT CELEBRATIONS OF YOUR BIRTH to nursedarry ! Darry, you are are seriously one of the loveliest people I have met in fandom and -- look, just never leave, the place would go quickly to pot without you. Your wit and wisdom are required! and I hope they were suitably rewarded yesterday! Good luck with the packing!

Happy birthday for yesterday, too, to the lovely hogwartsvixxxen  -- it sounds as though you had a great time! Hurrah for this year being so much better for you than last, may it continue to improve more and more! 

And also for silvershinigami , even though you've disappeared of late. Did that boy work out? Did life become Very Busy? Are you currently on a top-secret mission to uncover the secrets of Cold Fusion? I hope that you were suitably rewarded with cake even if it had to be dropped off inside a rolled-up newspaper by a man in a trenchcoat!

And oh cock, it's 1am again. Sorry everyone else I have missed, sleep calls. Last night it was so cold that I had to get up and put on legwarmers among other items of clothing. Why do I even OWN legwarmers? And don't scoff, you Northern set, lack of insulation in Sydney houses means if it's 8 deg C outside, it's 8 deg C inside. With windchill in our bedroom, as we have one hell of a draught. Great for indoor paper planes, less good for toasty sleeping. Tonight, I plan to use the doorsnake on the window before I try to drop off -- I can be taught!

NB Doorsnake is not a euphemism.
