yay! it's MY birthday!

[derien]

I know I'm way too old for being ridiculously pleased with it being my birthday. The year I turned 30 was the only year that I wasn't pleased. I cried. Now I've realized I'm far too old to cry about it anymore, and have decided to go back to being smug.:) Either way I'm self-centered, but it's more fun to be happy and self-centered. The big difference is, on my birthday I don't beat myself up about things I didn't get done. I sometimes think I should pretend every day is my birthday, but then I'd never get anything at all done, and be completely insufferable. :)

I have also finally figured out how to refilter my friends page so I don't have to look at every single 'friend' on the list. It's been getting cumbersome for a while, but this morning I was was inspired by someone spamming one of the communities which I had on my f-list (WritingWorkout) with stories. S/he didn't even have the courtesy to put in LJ cuts on all of them, and I don't think one is even supposed to post stories directly to that community (I think it's supposed to be that you post a challenge, then responses are in the form of links back to the writer's own journal). Of course I could be wrong, but whatever - the effect for me was multiple page-downs. Inconvenience? To ME? On MY birthday? I think not.

Oh, and my letter's not going to get there in time! Not that it's much of a birthday present. D'you like stationery? I must send you more stationery.

Happy birthday! *hugs*

I actually like stationary very much, though of course I ruin LOTS of paper in order to write one letter, so I get a little nervouse writing on stationary. But I'd try to write you with it.:)
