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, 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

Thank you, Ms M ♥

I HIGHLY recommend skydiving. It is a rush that compares to nothing else on earth, srsly.

My 40th is still a decade away, but I plan on celebrating by looking back over my 30s and congratulating myself for not killing anyone.



A-FUCKING-MEN! I'm quite surprised I haven't strangled anyone yet either, OMG.

You are completely adorable, you know that? *G*

[identity profile] themostepotente.livejournal.com 2010-03-31 12:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Wow, you have such young parents, that's awesome! Ha ha, now I do feel old. Maybe, I could be the equivalent of a favourite auntie or something?

*BIG BEEFY HUGS*

Thank you, Cordelia! <3

I have no SGA icons, and this makes me sad :-(

ANNE!!! Yes, it's been some years. It was such a pleasure to meet you at Sectus. How are you, sweetie?

I've left my forties behind, but I can still help to usher you into a decade of potential delights.

This sounds delightfully dirteh ♥ *pulls you and Cate into the nearest bedroom for hot smex*
