best birthday ever

[ewein2412]

OK, so my birthday has been going on for nearly two weeks now (

deliasherman says that in her family you get an extra day of celebration for every decade you've lived, which makes me about ahundredsomething), and although I really ought to move on, I need to say thank you *AGAIN* to everybody.  And also to put up all the links so I can show off what everybody did.  This beautiful Telemakos icon is by mhari, for a start.  And marguerlucy pointed me to this piece of fanart, which is off somebody's blog in China as far as I can work out.  But hirnverbrannthas done an ORIGINAL picture especially for my birthday (leaving me in awe of other people's talent).

And yesterday rainbowjehanchecked in with this.  If you read through the comments you will sense a lot of admiration for her incredible courage in daring to consider posting such a thing and let me say that I myself am abject in the face of such courage. And also, I think it is quite good.

It is kind of overwhelming to have all this writerly stuff coming at once, as I've never experienced anything quite like it; and curiously, it is coming from random quarters, like the lion's head pendant from my aunt, and a HUGE stack of notecards that arrived yesterday from the incredibly awesome ACB (my best friend from the Folkore Dept. at Penn, former roommate, collaborator on articles, and wanna-be press agent)--the cards feature these scenes from The Winter Prince.  Drawn by me in my youth.

And then this morning I got a cupcake from MORDRED.  !!!!  (Did you know Mordred has a blog?  It is here at  illgotten).  MY CUP RUNNETH OVER.

 

ok.  thank you and please stop now or my already quite big head will explode.  xxxxxx

Happy birthday! :)

[ewein2412]

thank you!

I prefer to celebrate my birthday as long as humanly possible, so rock on. Also, the cards are such a great gift idea! Maybe I'll steal it for my costume professor and use his renderings....muahahaa!

have fun and enjoy!

[ewein2412]

oh, I am enjoying, believe me. And I feel like you started it, too, because yours was the first birthday message I got.

[marguerlucy.livejournal.com]

well color me pink! :)

It's a week of festivities, like Mardi Gras.

Or Lent.

[ewein2412]

heh.

Happy birthday month. ^__^

I have been dying of fear since before I posted it, and am not done yet--if you only knew the crazy upside-down-y thing my stomach has been doing--ai, ai, ai. I would never have done it if you hadn't asked. I never would.

The postcards are amazing--bwee! You're such a good artist. >_> And they're really neat. ^__^

illgotten is wonderful. The rest of the family have blogs, too, scarily enough.

[ewein2412]

sheesh, I might not have asked if I had known what it was going to do to your stomach. But can I point out that you did INVITE me to ask.

I have been worrying all weekend that I am partly (or wholly) responsible for your panic attack! (and unfortunately unable to reply, because the internet connection has been down. of course.) Sorry! Sorry! [throws self on floor]

The rest of the family have blogs, too, scarily enough.

yeah, I know. I wish I had the nerve to catapult Lleu ap Artos onto the scene. (In light of some of the recent activity on desperatefans... just wouldn't it be, I don't know, not ironic exactly but downright freaky, if someone from Telemakos's *real* family would finally turn up but instead of his mother or father it turned out to be Lleu....)

...but that kind of nerve I have not got.

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

Well, no, I'm just so terrified that you don't really like it and you're just being nice. :)

No, no! You aren't! It's okay! It's not your fault! *picks up off floor* it's okay!

OH MY GOD YOU SHOULD. OH. OH OH OH. (Telemakos would be kind of annoyed. XD)

You SHOULD.

[ewein2412]

(Telemakos would be kind of annoyed. XD)

yeah, I know, that's why I like the idea.

but even more than nerve i lack time... I would be in front of my computer 24 hrs a day.

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

SEE? Totally do it!

...Wouldn't either. Trust me. You go in and out with it.

[illgotten.livejournal.com]

dear God but that would be scary and awesome.

[illgotten.livejournal.com]

Also, you're in a different time zone from a significant majority of us, so you wouldn't get sucked into the huge long time-eating threads. I mean. Theoretically.

Also this was supposed to be mhari. I am just too damn lazy to log out. *uses hilarious OOC icon*

[ewein2412]

I was going to point that out as well. All your activity occurs between 2 and 5 a.m. here. My conversational ability would be very slow.


ummmm

*does not tempt...*

[ewein2412]

go away.

anyway, no original characters, remember? hah.

[illgotten.livejournal.com]

As my lady commands.

I'd flip out most amusingly, though.

[ewein2412]

Hey, I have to keep my Evil Card valid somehow.

Rah, happy birthday extravaganza!!

[ewein2412]

thanks!
