Okay, so technically her birthday isn’t until Tuesday the 2nd, but this is the only chance I might have to do this until later tomorrow evening, so deal with it.
But hey! If this isn’t an excuse for a party, nothing is!
So … let’s give it up for someone who is witty, sexy, beautiful, caring, and loved by all.
And who is my best friend in the whole wide world.
< kiss >
Happy birthday, Cristi !
Yay Cristi!! Here’s your gifts…a giant stuffed SpongeBob, and a Monkees poster to hang over your bed. 
A very happy birthday to you, Persephone!
Hey hey Perse! Wishing you a most Happy Birthday!
no fair Euty - I knew it was tomorrow and I, like the good little person I am (sputter sputter, no comments from the peanut gallery please) was going to wait for the appropriate time.
may you take some time out for yourself and delight in all things golden, Christi!
Yay! Happy Day, Cristi!
Buon Compleanno, Bella.
Happy birthday, Gorgeous!
Bastard.
That magical night under the full moon, on the chac-mool in Chichen Itza, when the crickets were chirping and the scarlet macaws were fanning us with their brightly-colored wings, with Al Jolson playing on the wind-up Victorola, you said I was your best friend in the whole wide world.
Oh, well. Happy BDay, Miss Hottie.
You know me. I’ll just say anything to get laid.
Happy Birthday, Persephone!!
Impossible!
Goddesses are immortal and therefore can’t get any older. So they can’t have birthdays.
(Happy Persephone Day, beautiful!)
I too was waiting until tomorrow… but I will join in with any celebration of the lovely Cristi! Here’s to a wonderful day - redheads rule!
So,…how’d it go with Uke, Euty?
::d&r::
:::blushing furiously:::
Thanks, Patrick, for starting this thread. You’re one of the greatest people I’ve ever had the honor of knowing. You’ve seen me through some stuff, and sometimes, I must admit, the fact that you’ll still speak to me surprises me. But you know how much your friendship means to me. But…now that you’ve got some making up to do to Ike…can I get pictures? 
And thanks to everyone else for all the really, really kind words. I can’t tell you how warm and happy and downright humbled I am, knowing that you care. (((((everyone)))))
…and Ike called me a hottie…oh my Goddess…I think I’d better go lie down before I faint…
I was definitely waiting until tomorrow, as well. Darn you, Euty… jump the gun on all of us, why don’t you. 
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, PERSEPHONE!!!
Approximate Phonetic Chinese Version of “Happy Birthday”: (thanks, Nathan!)
“Guung juuk nay fook sow yuen teen tsai, hing hong nay sun sun fie lok. Leen leen doe yao gum yut, suuy doe yao gum jzew, guung hay nay! Guung hay nay!!!”
Approximate English Translation of Above:
“Congrats on this good day of fortune, where we can all gather together. Wishing you a very happy birthday. Every year, this wondrous day arrives; Always, this wondrous time comes. Congratulations! Congratulations!”
I hope you have an absolutely wonderful birthday, Cristi, and may you celebrate it with family and friends! So are you doing anything special for your birthday? Inquiring minds wish to know… Hope you have a great year, and take care of yourself!

Happy Birfday!!
Hope it’s a good one!
I love this lady. You know, in some cultures, people celebrate their birthdays by giving gifts to OTHER people, rather than receiving them.
Of course, you give us the daily gift of yourself, so we’re covered.
…and I second the “hottie” comment.
Happy, Happy Birthday, most sweet Christi. Wow, your birthday and mine, so close together. Cool! I hope your day is all you wish it to be and more. You are such a sweet, wonderful person. I always love reading your posts. Have an awesome day, and even better year.
{{{{{{Christi}}}}}}
Well, I held off until just after midnight to post this, so I could wish you Happy Birthday actually on your birthday.
So, Happy Birthday on your Birthday!
