Thanks for all the fish...but this isn't goodbye or anything

mustpostmoremustpostmoremustpostmore

If you look over at my calendar it seems like I'm posting all these entries that you can't see. I bet you're thinking, "Beotch! You're totes filtering me out, aren't you?" Well, no, I'm not. Those are me-only posts I'm staging and that are copied over to [livejournal.com profile] yaoi_daily once a day. They're Miyamoto Kano yaoi stories I'm sharing over there in 15-page chunks. You could join the comm and read them if you are so inclined. But actually, I'm as lazy as I've ever been about posting what's up with me.

It's my birthday, how's that for news? It's a red letter birthday, too, not because it ends in a zero or anything numerically cool, but it is what I have been calling my K.M.A. birthday. I can now retire from my job with full benefits, whee! So they better be nice to me or I'll leave, and then they can K.M.A. Bwahahaha.....

Thanks to [livejournal.com profile] shezan and [livejournal.com profile] bryoneybrynn for the v-icons, and to [livejournal.com profile] rickey_a, [livejournal.com profile] pir8fancier, [livejournal.com profile] titti, [livejournal.com profile] gmth, [livejournal.com profile] dana_aeryn, [livejournal.com profile] photoash, [livejournal.com profile] alisanne, and [livejournal.com profile] dacro for the birthday greetings. I don't deserve them, being the sort who utterly forgets everyone else's birthday like the rotten friend I am (for example, Happy Birthday on the 14th, Monday, to Titti!), but I'm grateful you're all better women than I. m(_ _)m

So how did I spend my big day? First at work and then at the dentist, getting a broken tooth repaired. ddddrrrrrriiiiilllllll!!!! My tooth gave up its ghost on Sunday, when I was doing much more fun things, to wit: spending the night at the historic Oxford Hotel downtown, getting a full massage, having a wonderful tilapia dinner (it was the post-meal candy mint that did in the tooth, btw), listening to live jazz and imbibing a drink called, no shit, "Japanese Sex," waking up late, and checking out the exhibit on Ghengis Khan at the museum. Today was the only time my dentist could see me, and he's leaving town next week. I wasn't in any pain, but you know how your tongue does that thing it does whenever anything in your mouth has changed? Oh, dah de dah, OH! What's this??! It's not normal. Think I'll poke around. Holy hell, it feels like the Olduvai Gorge! And sharp, too. Okay, I guess it's a broken tooth, I don't have to stress too much. Dah de dah de, OOHH, what's this? Oh, yeah, broken tooth. Lather, rinse, repeat.

Happy Birthday! When classes are done I'll check out your yaoi. Anything you write is worth a read, hon.

Well, this isn't the odd hobby of mine where I write stories, this is the other odd hobby of mine where I scanlate other people's yaoi manga. That means I do the Photoshop work and then help share it. But I did write some stories for one of them and those are on my Skyehawke archive.

My favourite line by Stephen Fearing is in his song about Canada:

"My heart always returns to you
Like a tongue to a broken tooth."

He is the king of metaphor, that man.

another of his images I really like is the "pearl-handled Texas moon." I forget what song that's in.

Speaking from experience, the analogy is very apt!

Happy Birthday!!!! Big hugs and lots of spankings O.o

[identity profile] geoviki.livejournal.com 2009-12-17 06:25 am (UTC)(link)
I was imagining if I got as many spankings as years, I'd be having someone arrested for brutality!

Hugs maybe I'd survive. Hee!

Happy belated birthday, dear! Was going to post some music for you yesterday after work but ... the less said about my sanity after work these days the better. It feel as if I live there :S Will post this weekend, ok?

I wish you lots of fun and no more broken teeth, or any other bones! :)

Ah, it's still my birthday here, though, so you get full credit! I want to hear all about your new job, too. Seems like you still can keep those late hours - or are you just up really, really early instead?

[identity profile] painless-j.livejournal.com 2009-12-17 06:40 am (UTC)(link)
Up really early :( Am having breakfast and running off to work.

Happy birthday! Sounds like a lovely day, except for, you know, the tooth. Congrats on hitting the KMA-point at work!

Argh, I missed your birthday! I'm sorry, dear; not sure how that happened (how in the world did I miss all those birthday greeting posts?!).

But I am very glad to see that you had a good celebration. If any day deserves a massage, one's birthday does. And huge congrats on the KMA-ness of this particular birthday.

Happy Birthday!! Although eeep, sorry about the dentist trip! :)

lol!

I know exactly what you mean about the mouth-changes thing. I have a crown and MAN did that take some getting used to. It's like IMPOSSIBLE to ignore at first.

I'm glad you had a nice day and WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT on the KMA birthday. That's FANTASTIC! :)

Happy, happy birthday, G! I hope the next twelve months are fun and wonderful and less stressful than most. Plus, yeah, tell them to be nice or else! :)

I FORGOT.

OMG, I FORGOT.

And I put it on my work planner and everything - LJ was most helpful with the reminder email, and you've been on it for a few days.

It helps to look ahead on my work planner.

Pls to be forgiving me?

*pleading eyes*

*wishes you many happy returns and many more years ahead*

Why didn't That Other Place tell me it was your birthday?!?!??? (Or did it? Did I just miss it??? Gah!) Either way, happy brithday!!! Yay for being able to play the KMA card at last!

So what did Japanese sex taste like?

Happy, happy belated birthday!! *hugs* And congrats on the ability to retire - I'd recommend doing so, post-haste. ;-)

Sounds like your Sunday was perfect (yum, tilapia), with the exception of the tooth. Am with you on the tooth despair...I get my implant completed in six weeks and it can't come a moment too soon. I'm sick of wearing a 'flipper' tooth!

Cheers again for your B-day!!
