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?

*points to icon* One of those. AKA lucky cats. I collect them. Got a bunch of statuettes (including one with an arm that waves if I put in a battery), a keyring, a mug, chopsticks, a cellphone charm, a greeting card that I framed, a kitchen towel, a toothbrush holder - soapdish - lotion pump set, and even the cutest little teapot where the upraised paw is the spout. And I am always looking for more!

ETA: I have manekineko address labels too!

Oh, okay! Lucky cats. That should make for an awesome tattoo. Would be even cooler if you could go to a wizarding tattooist and have it wave magically! *G*
