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! I have no real feelings about age cause my mum and dad are some of the youngest 50+ year olds I know, so yeah, am never getting what I consider old, and it doesn't sound like you are either. Never take out the lipring!

*BIRTHDAY HUGS*

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*

They're not that young, I'm only 23! My mum is actually over 60, and the oldest of my half siblings is 41. Complicated family makes everyone feel old/young/confused haha.
