Becoming

The events of the past few days are a good example of how my entire life has changed in the past year. Growth, transformation, an ongoing process that never really ends. I've seen some deep seated reprogramming happen, met wonderful new people, had my stumbles and falls and false starts. I've had blissful moment of pure happiness, and more often than I'd expect. One of the best parts of this year was taking the time to get to know people better. Sharing stories about gaming and music and politics over a pint, sitting in the dim light watching a thriller with the smell of wine and smoke in the air, shared dreams and fears and strengths. A meeting of the old and the new as a couple prepares for a huge change in their life. Faces that I've seen only briefly, seeing new sides to familiar faces, and relaxing! Sitting and listening quietly not because I fear to speak, but because I want to listen. Speaking naturally, smiling to myself over a glass of blueberry wine.

And honestly? I'm filled with joy today. I've received a letter from a user's manager, congratulating me on going above and beyond the call of duty. I've had well wishes from all over the map. And I have an action packed evening ahead of me.

I'm glowing again. You just might need to turn down the brightness of your monitor.

I'm glowing again.

My eyes! My eyes!

Happy birthday.

Do you think they will give me a hard time at the club for glowing? "I'm sorry sir, glowing is against the dress code."

Thank you sir!

Maybe it's the reflection from the birthday candles. :)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

yeah, you should have the fire department on standby if you plan to light enough for each of your years

Nooooo kidding!

Thank you!
And there are oh so many candles to blow out,
fortunately I had a good set of... lungs.

Let the innuendo begin! ;)

Happy effin Birthday!

I'm so seriously.
See you tonight post ManRay, with my happy stumbling self :)

Happy birthday. =) (http://www.livejournal.com/talkpost.bml?journal=b0st0n&itemid=608723)

Wow.
Just another reason why I have an amazing roommate!
Thanks for the well wishes!

I don't know you, but I am one friend removed to you through EeyrG.

In my personal mythology, it signals positive change and good fortune for the coming year if it snows on your birthday.

So, happy birthday!

I have read many of your comments over the last few months, including the unfortunate post f1 racing incident. Yuck.

I think I'm a big fan of your personal mythology.
Thank you very much!

It snowed last year on my birthday and I have had a great year. So good luck to you!

There you go, there's a precedent!

Happy Birthday from myself & the Elder DiPesa!! *hug*

Many thank yous, to you and the man who now does what I dreamed of doing in school.

As a birthday gift to the two of you, we have Buffy on the Tivo and can make a copy for you!

*squeeeeee* Thank you! I was talking to Klae about that in my 1st LJ post today. Hell, I'll still get him Chinese food or see his show. =;)

eggsellent... :)

Sounds like a great year. Happy birthday, you!

I think the best is yet to come, but there was a lot of good to look back on *big grin*.

Many thanks, oh world traveler!

Happy birthday, Chris! See you at the show.

Yes you will indeed. We are eating at Roka now, which is much close to the Skybar.

All is coming together so well....

*bouncebounce*

You are loved by your friends, and deservingly so. Have a great birthday.

That's what I've come to learn and deeply believe.
I was sure of it before my birthday, and today it's been spelled out for me in letters so big even I can read them!

Thanks for the well wishes :)

H-A-P-P-Y B-I-R-T-H-D-A-Y !

(because sometimes it's fun being literal)

bwahahaha!
It certainly is, it certainly is.
See you on the dance floor?

*hugs*

Happy Birthday!

Many thanks!
I love your user icon. :)

Thanks!

Birthday, birthday! Happy wishes from strangers is always a good thing, I feel. So have a happy one, enjoy your evening (I've always wanted to go to ManRay) and just glow your little heart out.

It certainly is nice to get well wishes from out of the blue. I like your choice of icons, and see we have a few common interests. I think I have a lot more glowing to do before the day is out!

Hope your enjoying the new season of Buffy as much as I am. And thanks again!

happy birthday!
I

Thank you very very very much!
U

have been keeping up and enjoying your journal for a couple months now. happy 33rd (don't sweat it, i'm right behind you)!

Thanks very much. 33 doesn't seem so old to me these days... I lived my 20's like I was 30, and now I'm living my 30's like I'm 20.

Quite the deal, I'd say. :)

You deserve happiness! Especially on your birthday!

Happy Birthday!

--Andrea

awwwwww yeah!
I think I'm getting an overabundance of happiness, but I'm not complaining!

Woo hoo!

Hi. I don't know you at all, but ta_chuang posted that I should say happy birthday to you because you are good people.

So, even though I don't know you: HAPPY BIRTHDAY.

May your day be filled with joy and laughter, good friends and good times.

- PG

I need to remember to thank ta_chuang when I return tonight! He is a kickin' roommate.

There has been joy and laughter aplenty today, with more good times and good friends arriving the evening.

Thanks for the well wishes :)

Most welcome. I figure my birthday always sucks as, so why let that happen to someone else, no?

Call me the birthday bodhisattva...

Here's hoping your next one will go a lot better for you! *raises glass

are an absolute bad ass!

Am I the meanest? Am I the prettiest?
Am I the badest mo-fo-low-down around this town?
Well who I am?
Yeah.....

happy birthday, my dear!
im not sure im going to make it out tonight.
if i dont, i owe you a raincheck for the birthday mind-eraser!
enjoy your day, and the rest of your new year.

xoxo

*hugs!*

I'm sure I'll see you out again to collect.
You should see the big stupid smile on my face right now. Whoo!

It exploded in a big ball of happiness.
One of the really keen points of that recently detonated year was meeting a certain Goth geek at Convergence, who was one of the highlights of the entire trip.

Now who could that be? ;)

*hugs*
Thanks a ton!
