OH MY GOD I'M OLD

[lykomancer]

--insert self-centered emo angst involving bitching about the unfairness of life, my own weaknesses and unresolved psychological problems, lack of self-control and/or ambition, etc., etc., etc., here--


I'm a totally awesome person. I am satisfied with my life and happy with where I am right now. I am attractive and intelligent and funny, and other people like being around me. I enjoy being me, even when I fuck up and want to headdesk because I'm being stupid.

I am pleased and honored to know (and have known) the people with whom I have crossed paths over the course of my life. I am indebted to all of you; you've supported me, loved me, taught me, and entertained me, and I hope that I have given back even half of what you've all given me.

(AHAHAHAHAHAH, WINE GOES TO MY HEAD SO FAST.
I haven't even drank a full eight oz and I feel wonky and silly.)

Really...I'm just happy. Everything seems like it's going to be ok and I feel unshakably confident in myself, my skills, and my ability to land on my feet.

Yay.

The apartment is a disaster; Wendy's going to be working; and I sincerely hope you get here before Tom and I head out for dinner-- call before you go if you get this in time!

BUT THAT'S OK. Yay.

Happy Birthday! :D

Thank you!

:D :D :D

I'm glad you're feeling so good today! ♥ People really need to embrace the aging-and-getting-wiser thing. *nods*

Have a fantastic birthday!!

I should make you something...how about an icon? :D You give me the character/pairing, and I'll do the rest~

[lykomancer.livejournal.com]

Strangely, it's true. The embracing-aging/getting-wiser thing. I always thought it was a cliche, 'cause years went by, and while I had moments of feeling brighter or more with it or in the flow, they were glimpses, if that makes sense. Overall, until about this last year, I still felt inadequate, childish, immature, stupid, selfish, all that, and I fought against it so hard.

Suddenly, I realize that you know, I might be all those things, but hey, that's alright. So's everybody else. We're all fuck-ups. We're all horrible and broken and absolutely amazing.
And while I might have always KNOWN that intellectually and spouted it off, it's finally gotten into my heart and soul, you know? and it's comfortable there.

......ok, enough with the lame-o preaching. Pffffft.
You made me an offer I can't refuse. XD XD XD

Icon... Jiraiya? ^__~ I've been in a mood lately.
That'd be spiff, hon, but you don't have to, of course.

Thank you, thank you! *loves on*

[infinitefirefly.livejournal.com]

Heh, let's just say all the lame-o preaching helped me make this icon. ♥



Text says: Love life; have no sorrow to die.

Hope you like! ♥

*___*

It's perfect. Wow. Oh, I love me some Henna verra, verra muchly. *GLOMPLOVE!*

[infinitefirefly.livejournal.com]

YAY!

I'm glad you like it, Lyko! :D

*loves back* ♥

[felisdeityus.livejournal.com]

OI! You're not allowed your quarter-life crisis this year, you had to have that last year, damnit!
But isn't it funny when, after you pass through your early twenties, you sort of go.. 'oh'...

Did you dream of dancing penguins?

[lykomancer.livejournal.com]

I'm not crisis-ing. I feel sort of like I should, but the idea makes me LOL a lot 'cause it's so entirely silly. I feel GOOD, not bitching or sad.

I don't know; I'm not realling going, "...oh." I'm kind of more going, *SPAZZFLAILYAY!* "Ice cream cake and sushi and long island iced teas and clubbing this weekend! YAY!"

Nope! No penguies. No peenes, either, for that matter. XD

[felisdeityus.livejournal.com]

Hey! Crisis can be in a good way too. Maybe. Okay, quarter-life schitzo? Ahh, I'm joking, you munt! I'm tired, shuush! At least people don't already call you 'Nana Claire' simply because you're a couple of years older than them and mildly more responsible (they're all going to get a shock when they see me drunk... I'm dreadful when I'm drunk).
*hugs* Yeah, yeah, you go celebrate on MY BIRTHDAY! Even though it's MINE and I claim it! Har! *dies*

[lykomancer.livejournal.com]

Hey, I'll have a drink in your honor! I will raise my long island and yell, "THIS IS FOR THAT MUNTY NEW ZEALANDER, CLAIRE! HAPPY BIRTHDAY."

Hah, I can't really imagine you as being the grown-up one... Not saying that you aren't responsible and all, but...well...you know.

[felisdeityus.livejournal.com]

Well, I suppose I'm kind of FROM a long island XD

Neither can I, but I am. It's scarey 0__o

*snug*

HAAAAAAPPPYYYYYY BIIIIIIIRTHHHHHDAAAAAAY TOOOOOO YOUUUUUUUU!!!

I hope it's a great one! :)

(Dunno if Wendy told you/you checked your messages but I miss you guys and wanna meet up again! Can I treat you to a birthday dinner sometime?)

[lykomancer.livejournal.com]

You don't have to treat; I think a whole crew of us are going out for sushi, drinks, and clubbing on Saturday night, and you're welcome to join us for whatever, although right now I have no idea where/when/how any of this is happening. Like, I don't know where or when we're eating, where we're drinking, where we're clubbing, etc.

[kytyngurl2.livejournal.com]

Then I'll get a present for you then. ^_^

I'm totally game for sushi/drinking/clubbing anytime! :)

[dracschick.livejournal.com]

glad things are well for you. You deserve it.

*hugs*

Happy birthday. ♥

[lykomancer.livejournal.com]

Thank you! ♥

[bakkhos.livejournal.com]

Actually, one of my friends is having a birthday party this Saturday night too. You should totally stop by with your friends. Free drinks, yo. The more the merrier.

[individual.livejournal.com]

I'm happy that you're saying all this. ♥ You really are an awesome person, totally, and although I'm probably not included in that list up there of cool people or whatever, you've totally been awesome the whole time I've known you, and you help me a lot. Make me laugh and smile, at the very least. XD ♥

[individual.livejournal.com]

And happy belated birthday, since I knew I'd forget to mention that in the last comment. XD;; -fails- You want a drabble, or anything? ♥
