[originally written for Tumblr last night, Aug 17th. Thought I'd try good old fashioned blogging on.]

August 18 is my birthday. I feel like I need to say something about this year of my life... and this is the closest I have to a blog. Pull up a chair.

Tonight I stood on the roof of my beautiful modern apartment building, in the most vivacious neighborhood of Seattle, gazing at the panoramic view of the downtown skyline, Space Needle, mountains and water and the rolling hills, all backlit by a softly electric sunset, listening to my gorgeous and sweet neighbor working shirtless on his bike behind me, and reflected on what a fucking year it's been.

Tomorrow I turn 36. One year ago, I thought I would never be happy again.

Making my LAST post of the day (I promise) to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY [livejournal.com profile] hebrew_hernia!!! :D I hope you did fun things to celebrate! I love having you as my geeky fellow scientist, and I miss the days when we would hang out and have spaghetti pizza. You are super awesome! ♥

HAPPY BIRTHDAY [livejournal.com profile] tjournal!! I hope it is a lovely one. ♥

So my friend Thomas flew in from DC yesterday to visit me, and we went out for a phenomenal dinner at a French restaurant in town and followed it up with beers with my besties and roomies, which was tons of fun. Today: fantastic brunch, wandering around campus, cupcakes, ice skating, and who knows what else! Zany! Should be a good time.

Obviously he is by default my Valentine, not that I could give a crap about that. Hopefully I don't run into too many soppy gross couples today. :P

I would like to take a moment to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY to [livejournal.com profile] wendy! Wendy my love, you are such a shining light of warmth and sweetness, and I am so very lucky to know you. And an equally HAPPY BIRTHDAY to [livejournal.com profile] disarm_d and [livejournal.com profile] summertea (slightly belated but no less sincere)! You are both wonderful ladies. ♥ I hope you all have/had wonderful days!!
exsequar: (Dublin at night)
Order of business the first: HAPPY BIRTHDAY [livejournal.com profile] kashmir1!!!! You are a darling and such a brave soul, and I admire you so very much. I love you sweetie and I hope you have a wonderful day.

The second: HAPPY BIRTHDAY [livejournal.com profile] caithream!!!! You are such a sparkly and awesome person, you always make me smile, and I'm so glad we met at Wincon!

The third: I started watching Castle with Michelle! It is SO adorable. I think Nathan Fillion is the only person who could make this character adorable instead of repugnant, but whatever, it works. My favorite part of the show is his family - so unconventional and hilarious! The plots are a little eyebrow-raising, but it's hard to be original in a world inundated with crime procedurals. In any case, Nathan is infinitely adorable and I am very pleased. Thumbs up!

The fourth: I had the most lovely conversation with my Louise (friend from Dublin) this morning. It went thusly:
Louise: it a really good time to come because we will all be on that high
we might actualy explode
Louise: Anne-exams=explosion
me: hee, that was the idea!
Louise: BOOM!
Louise: :D
Louise: everyone is glad you're coming back doll, we miss ya lots
me: aw, thank you sweetheart. that really means a lot.
me: it kind of keeps me going :)
Louise: you really are loved here Anne, you're our American gal! Not just a blow in the wind from across the pond!
me: and i love you all, so very much! I feel at home with you crazy Irish folks
Louise: sure once you catch our craziness your done for life!
and later...
Louise: of course you wont! We'll always be here, and you'll ALWAYS have a place here.
To steal a most eloquent expression from [livejournal.com profile] wasoncedelight,

The fifth: [livejournal.com profile] tuesdaysgone and [livejournal.com profile] discord_harmony, see my last post about The Used! :)

Happy birthday [livejournal.com profile] hebrew_hernia!! It's been far too long since I've seen you, lady. We need to fix that. Perhaps when we're both in the midwest! :) I hope you have a lovely day! ♥

I still keep flailing at my roommates about Michigan. I'm so HAPPY! I got home safe, obviously, but having had 4 hours of broken sleep last night, I fell into bed and slept for four more hours. I'm not *home* home yet though, still just at college, driving home tomorrow for spring break to see my daddy. Yay!

It will come as a shock to exactly no one that I have changed my header. OM NOM MATTHEW. I want to lick the dip in his bicep. ♥____♥ Go forth and drool ----> [livejournal.com profile] exsequar I also added two little interest buttons in my sidebar, for Matthew and Watchmen, and changed all the words around my journal to lyrics from "Unforgettable". My brain, she is eaten!

The book itself continues to blow my miiiiind. I do know I couldn't have read it without the movie providing audio and motion in my head, so I think I've done the perfect progression. As soon as I finish the book, I'll go see the movie again and get infinitely more out of it. I'M SO EXCITED.

Also, movie Ozy >>>> book Ozy. Just sayin'.

This comic made me giggle ridiculously, so I'm sharing. I can totally see Dan/Rorschach in the book, btw. They're such BFFs. And book!Rorschach makes me giggle all the time. Busting in on Dan while he's sleeping, then as he goes, "Thanks for the coffee and cereal." Hee! He just has these random moments of like... bizarre normalcy. I don't even know. And he's so twisted but at the same time arrow straight, getting pissy about things like missing gun registrations and graffiti. Ohhhh Rorschach.


Hee.

Analytical exam today! Woo! Blah.

Before I go sell my soul to the academic gods, I wanted to take a moment to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY PAULA!!!!!! You know I am very very fond of you, to say the least! ;) You are such a sweet, kind, cheerful darling and I adore you so much! I really hope that we get to see each other one day, because it would be amazing!! I hope you have a fantastic birthday! I LOVE YOU!!!! *flings confetti everywhere* :D

Disclaimer: I suck at remembering birthdays. In all honesty, I didn't remember this one until I saw it on my flist (which I didn't check all day until now, ~3 AM). But I had to say something, so...

Happy birthday [livejournal.com profile] theaerosolkid!!! You are made of sparkly rainbows and win. I love your honesty, your intelligence, your squee, your talent, your kindness. Yours was one of the first Ryan/Brendon fics that made me sit up and go YES. THIS. I have been glad to call you a friend on this crazy ride through bandomland, and I hope you had a spectacularly sparkly birthday! <333

My dearest Melface:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!! *squishes you tight*

I would like to thank you for correcting my pronunciation of your LJ name, because now it is one of my most favorite things to say. UNAMAGA. But it's also super fun because it's attached to one of my most favorite people. I hope you got my voicemail, and I hope that you are having a sparkly sparkly birthday, love. I wish you were with meeeeeee! I love you I love you I love you <3

I would like to take a moment to say...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY RAY!!!!
(Ray as in Rachael, aka [livejournal.com profile] insevens, not the afroed rock god ;) )

You, my love, rock my world. I feel like I've known you forever, and you are the most precious of folks. Your vocal obsessions with everything from Jack and Ianto to Alec and Seregil always bring me glee, and I just love talking to you about everything and nothing! Boys! Graphics! Mikey Way! Etc! :D You are so talented and gleeful and I am lucky to know you. Meeting you in Cardiff was one of the highlights of my year in my Dublin, absolutely! I wish I could have stayed with you for months. ILU babygirl, and I hope you have a fantastic birthday, as you deserve. <333333
