I love you, katie. Please marry me. Katie Hemlock… Quite a ring to it, no?
Happy B-day, Katie! Too bad I can’t be the stripper at your B-day party. But have a great one!
OK, OK, I’ll be the stripper at Katie’s Party. Sheesh, the things I do for this group!
We’ll always have Sarasota.

Francesca! You’re just the best. Thanks for the wonderful birthday wishes, although you and your nation have done more than enough already, what with the new Absolutely Fabulous episodes beginning tonight. Love you reeeeeally.
My memory’s going, Mr. Cynical. I can’t remember where I’m registered. Something “Mart”, it seems like. But of course I can count on Mauvaise for the basics - support hose and estrogen therapy. Mauv, you’e an angel on this earth. (Pick me up some Oreos while you’re out.)
Javamaven, It’s 19. I’m 19 this year. [sub](And by “19”, I mean “27”).[/sub] I’m looking forward to that “drinking” thing all the grown-ups have been talking about. Sounds neat.
Thanks to My Lord Jim, Arden Ranger, and Silver Fire (/me spent way too much time chatting in #straightdope last night and is feeling it this morning) for their birthday wishes!
And I tell you what, Tiggeril can be counted on for exceptional party favors to make a birthday extra special.
::scrubs feverishly at the bright blue body paint that doesn’t seem to be coming off at all::
Hey…
And to the not-evil Ginger, right back atcha. It does you good to hang out with the evil folks. Balances stuff out.
Thinksnow, I’m going to need you to hang around after everyone’s gone for just a minute or two. Hold this paddle, sweetie.
Big globs of glittery love for Scotti, techchick, and Wicky for your sweet thoughts. Thanks, girls. Lovyer hair, hopeya win.
Oicu, we’re bound to run into each other again one of these days. I look forward to it, and thanks! Cyndar, this week for sure. And thanks for the invite and the birthday wishes!
Thank you very much Rasa and HerMajestyLorna! Nice, nice, super cool chicks.
Woodstockbirdybird, I can’t believe you came in here to insult my darling Fran in my birthday thread. You should be ashamed of yourself. But you’re not! And that’s precisely why we get along so famously. Now, about my looking a good 6 months younger than 47… Well, I’ve had some work done around the eyes. Sssshhh! Not a word to ANYone.
Thanks, Porcupine! I look forward to tipsy tomfoolery with you in February as well. (Did you see that? I used “tomfoolery” in a sentence, and barely even cracked a smile.)
Joey, Joey, Joey. You’re just too cool for school.
:: practices signing “Katiekilldare Hemlock”, “Mrs. Joey Hemlock”, and “Mr. Joey Killdare” in her most flowery handwriting::
And I waited all night for you, Boi Toi, with a handful of dollar bills. Did you lose the address? How far in advance do I have to call and reserve your strippyness to insure you actually show up? Oh, we kid because we love. Thanks for the birthday wishes.
Thank God UncleBill was around to fill in as my stripper. Johnny-on-the-Spot, as usual, you sweet man. We’ll always have Sarasota…and LA…and Miami… Thanks!
And Cougarfang, if you think I’m picking up all this confetti on my birthday, you are sadly mistaken. So let’s add more and more until people think it’s just the carpet design! Yeeha!
Thanks again, everyone!
Damn, always running a little late!
I guess that means lots of good wishes for your birthday and all the Ks (with or without the smokes) that you can drink.
Hope today is a wonderful day for you, katie, my friend.
<puff puff pant…>
Hey, <pant pant (Pair of pants? :D)> sorry I’m late. <puff>
Happy Birthday Katie!
I didn’t know what to get ya so…
[poem]
It is your birthday
and on this day
I want you to know that
you are a very
special person
who has touched and warmed
many lives
including mine
I also want you to know
how much I appreciate you
Have a very happy birthday!
-Poem by Susan Polis Schutz

Have a great one!
**Happy Birthday ktkildare! **
Did you want the cake with buttercream frosting or whippedcream frosting?
Or just a brewsky. Got everything right here!
Let’s roll up the carpet and roll in the keg!
She’s the purtiest durn stalker in the country - baby, you can harass me any time! 
Happy birthday, babe.
Esprix
Happy Birthday Katie
Your Bono RealDoll is on it’s way, try not to break it the first night.
True Pisces, you were right on time! ::holds K Cider up jauntily:: Today has been wonderful, thanks!
A poem! Thanks Kwyjibo! It’s exactly what I wanted. Ooooooh, and a pair of pants. You shouldn’t have.
I’ll happily take the beer, Oncle Biere. Let’s go stand over here by the keg and talk more about frosting.
hardy, you are so so so thoughtful with this Bono “Realdoll”. Kinda creepy, kinda nasty. You know me pretty well. But he’d better take requests.
And let met just tell you something, Esprix. It’s heartwarming times like these that make hauling the telescopic lense camera up to the roof of the building next door to you, scouring your mail, and paying informants all worthwhile. I hope I do you proud as your stalker. I’ll try extra sure to make sure our outfits never clash, so your friends won’t talk. You’re just cool beyond reason, and thanks for your kind words.
Thanks everyone!
