I'm turning 21 today

[Kythereia]

At around six o'clock, I think.

And I have the day off from work--so I'm lazing about in my pajamas, watching the second season of Futurama and having a long hot shower and getting some writing done. It's quiet and still outside, threatening rain, and the dog is napping while my brother plays on his computer.

Life is good. :)

[Anaamika]

So we're almost 11 years apart. I turn 32 later this year.

Happy birthday, Kyth. Hope it's a good one.

[olivesmarch4th]

Merry Birthday!

All:
'What day is today?
It's Kythereia's Birthday,
What a great day for a Birthday,
Let's all have some cake!'

Fry:
'And you smell like one too!'

:D

[Sunspace]

Congratulations and happy birthday! Welcome to the world of bills, fine print, and worry. No, wait, that's after you leave school.

Ehhh... you're young. Have fun. Travel. Rent a car and drive through Algonquin Park. Hang out in youth hostels, cafes in far cities, and remote landscapes. Follow dreams. Take trains. See places that are different. Learn languages. Sing. Draw. Pursue love.

The real crap doesn't kick in until after you turn thirty, anyways. :)

[Vlad/Igor]

Go walk around Kensington Market and buy something cool for yourself.

[twickster]

Happy birthday!

[aclubs]

Sounds like a perfect birthday!

[rucciface]

So you've still got a few good years left. Happy birthday!

[Astroboy14]

Happy birthday!

On my 21st (lo, many years ago) I had 2 Long Island Iced Teas... or, at least, that's all I actually remember drinking.:D

Have fun!

[Hastily Scrawled Message]

Happy BIRTHDAY!

To YOU

[Least Original User Name Ever]

Happy birthday darling. I'm slaving away here at work, studying like a bastard for this job. Blah.

[Sternvogel]

Rent a car and drive through Algonquin Park.

One advantage you have as a Canadian -- many USA companies won't let you rent a car until you turn 25.

Happy birthday, Kythereia! I'm told I was born around 10 p.m., which may help explain why I'm a night person.

[UncleRojelio]

So we're almost 11 years apart. I turn 32 later this year.

Happy birthday, Kyth. Hope it's a good one.
Heh, and I'm 11 years older than you.

Happy Birthday Ky!

[Drunky Smurf]

Happy Birthday!

I will have an extra shot of vodka for you tonight.

[Khadaji]

Wishing you a good day, a good year and a great life!

(Drink a beer for me!) :)

[Jelymag]

Happy Birthday!!!!

[Anastasaeon]

Happy Birthday, Kyth! One day, you'll be an old woman, like me. :D

I shall make a pan of brownies in your honour today, as an offering to the great goddess who eventually got my gender correct. :p

[SiouxChief]

Happy Birthday, Kythereia!

Will someone call you on your birth-minute?
I'm 38 years old, and my mom still does that to me. Hehe! Love ya mom!

[Kythereia]

Thank you so much, everyone! *passes out champagne, chocolate kisses, and stray party hats*

So we're almost 11 years apart. I turn 32 later this year.

It's like wine--you're 11 years better. ;)

Happy birthday darling. I'm slaving away here at work, studying like a bastard for this job. Blah.

I promise to get drunk and get up to shenanigans in your honour! And I'll try to hold onto a piece of cake for you. And you, too, Anastaseon, to whom I still owe a lot of grovelling (I'm sorry!).

Sternvogel, I was apparently born during a thunderstorm. And I'm a Cancer--a crab. Way to get cosmically shafted. :smack: Tahssa, don't do anything I wouldn't do (which is admittedly not much...)

SiouxChief, I've never heard of that, but that sounds brilliant. Happy (early? belated?) birthday to you!

And now, thanks to Sunspace, Vlad/Igor, Khadaji, and Astroboy14, I now have a checklist of things to do. Later, all.

*exit, chasing after olivesmarch4th, clacking fins and making Zoidberg noises*

[SSG Schwartz]

Sorry for joining the party late. Happy Birthday, Kythereia. Hey, it sure is dark in here. Wait, where did everybody go?!?

Damn, I got here too late. :smack: Well, I'll try again next year.

SSG Schwartz

[Noone Special]

I thought I was late to the party, then realized it's still yesterday on your side of the pond :) -- so "Happy Birthday Kythereia!!"

[LouisB]

Happy Birth Day and Many Many more. Pay yourself first and you can't go wrong.

[gardentraveler]

:) HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!:)

[Moriarty]

:looks around to make sure nobody is watching:
Happy Birthday to you!
Happy Birthday to you!
Happpppyyyy Biiirrrtttthhhdddaaayyyyy DDDDeeeeaaaarrrr Kythereia
Happy Birthday to you!

[Queen Bruin]

Wow it's been a whole 21 years since you rose out of the sea foam? Happy Birthday!

[OtakuLoki]

Happy Birthday, Kytheria!

Just remember you've only got permission to borrow the goat for a few hours tonight - we have to have it back by it's normal bedtime, or it'll be cranky for the next newbie initiation.

[Lissla Lissar]

Happy birthday! Now you can legally drink when you go to America!

Have three or four drinks for me, and eat some chocolate. Maybe from Soma or J. S. Bonbon's.

[Alive At Both Ends]

Enjoy it while you can. I turned 48 two days ago, you won't be so keen to celebrate then. :(

[Least Original User Name Ever]

Borrow the goat? Christ, she's going to wreck that goat. Thank god we cloned it.

[Sunspace]

Borrow the goat? Christ, she's going to wreck that goat. Thank god we cloned it.What? Use the goat for the birthday of one of our most respected long-time members? I should think not! Kyth deserves far better than that!




break out the squid

[OtakuLoki]

But the goat's got ID, I can't fake up something for the squid in time...

[Suburban Plankton]

Happy Birthday!

You know, I can remember when you first joined this board. 7700 posts in not quite 3 years?!? WOW!

[Monstre]

Happy Birthday, you old geezer!

[Ms. Pumpkin]

I'm late to the party, as usual, but I hope you had a good birthday!

[Zoe]

THIS is the dawning of the AGE OF KYTHEREIA!

Happy Birthday, kiddo, and many more to ya, yeah!

You were born the year I married the man I met on my old Commodore 64. Geez Louise! You could have been a virtual baby from a BBS chat room! On my desk right now is a photograph of my husband (an anonymous Doper) and me. It was made about twelve days before you were born. That was a lovely summer.

The best is yet to come!

[Rhiannon8404]

Happy Birthday, Darling! Hope it was a wonderful day for you!

[bouv]

Apparently I was drinking tonight in your honor without realizing it! :p

So...umm...keep up the good work, and stuff. And don't die, cause that'd suck.

[ScareyFaerie]

Happy birthday! We were drinking last night too, so one of 'em must have been in your honour!

[Penchan]

Happy Birthday! Be sure to have a midori sour. Those are almost orgasmically good - so what a way to bring in the legalness, eh?

[Ice Wolf]

Much of the birthday happiness to you, and many more to come! :)

[Anaamika]

I swear I thought it said "Stray parts" instead of "stray party hats".

It's too early for me!

[An Arky]

Happy Belated Birthday, Kythereia!

I'm surprised none of the hound dogs have shown up to offer you a How're you doin'? for your 21st, goats and cephalopods notwithstanding. I'm too married to do that myself, so I'm just sayin'... :D

While 21 is a big milestone, there's still many good ones left, so may you have them! :)

[Improv Geek]

Happy belated birthday! Welcome to the world of legal drinkers :)

[SiouxChief]

Goats? Cephalopods?
Methinks I've missed something...

[Sternvogel]

Happy Birthday! Be sure to have a midori sour. Those are almost orgasmically good - so what a way to bring in the legalness, eh?

Actually, as she's a resident of Ontario, Kythereia has been "legal" for a couple of years already. (http://smartserve.org/licensee_legal_age.asp)

[Revenant Threshold]

Hmm. Being "legal" here means something quite different. Either that, or I apparently run with a bad crowd.

Anyway, Happy (slightly late) Birthday! July's a good month for birthdays, I always say. ;)

[Autolycus]

Heeey Happy belated birthday!

*walks in, wearing a big, goofy looking squid costume*


Hey, Kytheria, wanna touch my beak?

[elbows]

Happy Birthday to you!

Might I humbly suggest a lottery ticket for this your lucky day!

Were I in your town I would take you out for a fine beverage of your choice!

Oh, and, of course, I'd bring cake!

[Mindfield]
