Happy birthday to me, now with bonus cats.: seanan

Happy birthday to me, now with bonus cats.

ME: *asleep*
ALICE: *asleep*
LILLY: *asleep*
THOMAS: "Bluuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuurgh hack hack hack blurgh bleah puke puke puke."
ALICE AND LILLY: "MONKEY MAKE HIM STOP."
ME: "Huh wha' is it time for school yet?"
CLOCK: *1:45 AM*
ME: "...oh I am going to make slippers."

So that happened. Poor Thomas decided to celebrate my birthday by throwing up all over the hallway shortly after midnight, resulting in my first birthday activity being "mop up all the cat puke." Also, ew. He seems fine, just unhappy, and got snuggles before I went back to bed and dreamt* about being eaten by a giant gar.**

ME: *asleep*
ALICE: *asleep*
LILLY: *asleep*
THOMAS: *sulking*
ALARM: "Good morning good morning good morning GOOD MOOOOOOORNING!"
CATS: "MONKEY MAKE IT STOP."
ME: "I hate everything."
FACEBOOK: "HAPPY BIRTHDAY FROM THE POPULATION OF HALLOWEENTOWN! LIKE, REALLY, THE WHOLE POPULATION!!!!!!"
ME: "...okay, maybe not everything."

Today is my thirty-fourth birthday! Which is pretty awesome, since I, like most nihilistic teenagers, never really expected to live past the age of twenty. I definitely didn't expect to be writing books and snuggling cats and going to Disney World and having amazing friends and basically getting a pretty good score at the game of Life. Even if my little car lacks other pegs (which I never really wanted anyway). Mom is checking up on Thomas throughout the day, but he really does seem to have just eaten a bug that didn't agree with him.

Tonight, there will be writing, and maybe cupcakes, if I'm feeling ambitious and like walking down to the bakery before I go home. And this weekend, there will be blessedly nothing. I will rest, and it will be glorious.

Happy birthday to me.

(*Dear spellcheck: screw you, that is the correct past tense of the word "dream.")

My email was busted, and I never got your address for your ARC win. Did you send it?

The automatic stalkers on LJ told me it was your birthday! In honor of your birthday, I'm playing Red Roses and Dead Things... because everyone needs "Baby it's best to be blonde!" earworming them ALL DAY. BWAHAHAHA.

No, really, Happy-survived and outwitted them all once again!-Day.

Happy birthday, dear friend!

I wish you were here, typing busily away in another room, so I could go and briefly interrupt you to hug you. Yes, I'd even go out to buy DDP and remember to bring you a glass of that, not ask about tea. ;P

January 6 2012, 16:21:30 UTC 5 years ago

That would make me happy, too.

Happy birthday! May you see as many more as you wish to see.

Lol re: dreamt. I looked that up at one point. I think dreamt is the British word, and dreamed is the USAmerican version, but I have no idea why, given that I, too, say dreamt, as does almost everyone I know.

Yeah, the regularization of irregular tenses drives me nuts.

Happy birthday, Seanan! You should have four birthdays a year so you will take that many weekends off.

I hope Thomas's tummy settles and that he will avoid whatever bug it was in the future.
