Let Me Show You My 4-0h Face!

Today, I am 40 years old.

We have a saying here in the D: 'Every day with your head above the dirt is a good day.' I've had 14,600 good days, and I consider myself blessed.

Sometimes, I do wonder how I made it this far. There have been some crazy times. Skydiving, motorcycle stunts, train dodging and that time I tried to surf and nearly drown, bitchslapped by a ginormous wave.

This is my seventh year in fandom, and I wanted you all to know how special you are to me. You've stuck with me through the good times and the bad, and it's been like a marriage of sorts. One big, squishy porny marriage.

So, pull up a chair one and all. A sofa. A chaise. A recliner. A barstool. Let's have a party! There's champagne, absinthe, Laphroaig and Malfoy-approved brandy. Tell me about your fortieth birthdays. Or tell me how you plan on spending yours when the time comes. Ha ha - or kindly tell me to fuck the hell off, because you are NOWHERE near your fortieth and plan on staying twenty-one forever.

This year I plan on going to Japan, returning to school and WRITING SOME DAMNED FIC. And not fussing over grey fucking hairs. A good dye job works wonders, yes?

Somewhere, I know my mother's looking down on me and wishing her baby a happy birthday. This, of course, would be followed by a frown and a 'You're 40 now, it's high time you took that stupid ring out of your lip.'

*nearly sets a big fucking cake on fire with a shitload of candles*

Who's down for c and ic?

Happy Birthday

The feeling is more than mutual, my dear! I'm so glad we met at Azkatraz and became friends. You're absolutely lovely, Tray!

Isn't laughing until your face hurts just the funnest thing ever? Mmm, drinking and smexxing! Well, at least I could do *one* of those things :P LOL!

Happy birthday, baby! I turn 40 in April and am not handling it nearly as gracefully as you seem to be. /o\

[identity profile] themostepotente.livejournal.com 2010-04-03 03:52 am (UTC)(link)
Dana! *tackleglomps* Ha ha, gracefully? Not quite :P What day in April, bb?

Too bad we can't sit down for a beer together like we did at Witching Hour. How the hell are you, dear?

Happy birthday! *nom noms cake and ice cream* Grey hairs are awesome, I'm gonna have a mane of silvery hair one of these days. I'm just a few years from 40 and I have to say, my life didn't start looking up until my mid-30s so I'm feeling pretty good from here on up.

Hey, Hanny! LTNT ♥ How are you doing?

Wah! I miss my twenties :-(

[identity profile] enchanted-jae.livejournal.com 2010-03-31 01:48 am (UTC)(link)
My 40th birthday was spent in Bardstown, Kentucky. My sister, our youngest brother and his fiancee and I went to KY in search of particular whiskey decanters that our family collects. We stayed at the Jailer's Inn, which is a (reputedly) haunted bed and breakfast. It is actually a renovated old jailhouse! It was lovely, and the only "haunting" we experienced was on the first night, when brother and his fiancee heard a couple loud, clanging bangs in their room. Hah! We hit some shops, found some jugs, went on a walking "ghost tour" and indulged in some KY bourbon. We also enjoyed the food at the Talbot Tavern next door, where the iced tea and the green goddess dressing were to die for. A very fun trip, and I'd love to go back.

Enjoy your 40's! Remember, you're only as old as you feel, or in my case, as old as you act. That's why I'm still 12 years old! Oh, and my hair is also "chemically dependent", but who cares?

[identity profile] themostepotente.livejournal.com 2010-04-03 05:14 am (UTC)(link)
Wow, that does sound like fun times, man. I enjoy being scared out of my wits. I am desperately trying to find a Michigan ghost hunting group to try and join up with. Mmm, and good Kentucky bourbon? HELLS YES!

Thanks for the wonderful story, Jae! *HUGS*

One big, squishy porny marriage
There would never be any use of having any other kind of marriage. HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

I'm not quite 40, I've been twenty-seven for almost going on three years. Twenty-seven was such a good year I decided to stop there :D.

[identity profile] themostepotente.livejournal.com 2010-04-03 05:05 am (UTC)(link)
No, there certainly would not! *G*

Eeee! Thank you, bb! And I heartily concur with twenty-seven. I've just been there for thirteen years, instead. *whistles innocently*



Dude, is that Castiel in your icon?

[identity profile] geoviki.livejournal.com 2010-03-31 03:03 am (UTC)(link)
Happy birthday! Yeah, the next decade will be terrific for you, I'm certain of it.

I can't even remember what I did on my 40th. It's lost to the mists of time. Hee!

Japan! I'm very envious. Write lots of touristy posts so I can learn from you.

[identity profile] themostepotente.livejournal.com 2010-04-03 05:01 am (UTC)(link)
VIKI!!! *GLOMPS*

Thank you, hon! Ha ha, the mists of time? Noooo, I'm not buying that. *G*

Posts? Bah I say! You can accompany me. I will smuggle you in my suitcase!

Also, I'm just drooling over your pretteh icon. Who *are* those lovely boys? Mmm!

After 21, it's all the same, yes?

Yes, we do! Just a day apart! Hope you had a wonderful day as well, dear ♥

Happy birthday, Penny! I'm sorry I'm late. I'm down to an iPhone for posting. I'm so excited that you're going to japan this year. The 40s are wonderful. Things that are important start falling into place and a calm peace filters in. So take a big breath and blow those candles out. Enjoy!!! I'm betting our moms are snickering at us but are happy that we made it this far.

Hugs and love
Roma

Oh, Rom, don't be silly! I'm ridiculously happy to see you here! I'm excited for you as well. We deserve our little getaways!

*takes a very deep breath and tries to blow out all of this candles*

I made a wish for *both* of us. *winks*

Thanks again for the giftie, bb ♥
