Let Me Show You My 4-0h Face!

[themostepotente]

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?

I just hit it back in February. I put on a red-and-black sparkly Indian skirt and a black velvet top, drove up to Boston, watched my boyfriend in a bit part in a TRULY AWFUL community theater production of Dracula, got the cami with the play's logo anyway (how could I resist? Black with red DRACULA across the tits!), talked to a friend of mine who's known me since I was 17, finally met his husband face-to-face, went out for late night Chinese and drinks with my boyfriend and his wife, stayed over, had full Irish breakfast in the morning, bought Girl Scout cookies in the T station, and got treated to a shopping trip at Lush.

My boyfriend's toast to me, over the late night Chinese, was "Forty, my ass!"

It was a good birthday.

eta: And Happy Birthday to you, of course! Teach me to post before coffee.

Dayum, woman! Your 40th birthday was like an ad for the US Army: We do more before noon than you do all day!

Thanks for the b-day wishes, Riki ♥
