I won’t be able to attend any party if it’s during the day as I will be attending a highlighting class that day. And since I paid for the ticket already and all… So have a happy birthday. I’ll be thinking of you! 🙂 ---

Happy B-Day Euty!!! PS - I’m sorry I made you the Evil one in my new story. But I think it’s kinda absurdly humorous in a way, oh lover of the Evil Disney… ---

And if anybody else cares, my birthday’s the 14th, the day after Friday the 13th, so the survivors can throw _me_ a party too! (And it better not just be leftovers from the leftovers used to throw Hypergirl’s…) ---

Happy early b’day! Jack-- October 6th is my 5 year anniversary with my fiance. _beams delightedly at no one in particular_ And speaking from the female point of view, I would be happy beyond words if the future Mr.Mirth gave me a love letter. ---

> [@](#): > > And how old are ye? Just my guess here, but I’d say that for a dog he’s quite old, for a mountain he’s just an infant, but for a man just right! Hey, how about we guess his age for a prize? Those who know are disqualified. ---

_ **ha ha** _ That brought back memories when the SATs and the Homecoming dance was on the same day, **iampunha** : my birthday (Oct. 18). Anyway, while looking for a mascot for my page, I found a goofy picture of an armadillo standing up on its hind legs, and for some reason my sleep-deprived brain thought that he was the perfect animal to wish **Euty** , and the rest of y’all, a happy birthday. So, [happy birthday](http://fff.fathom.org/pages/SterlingNorth/AustinWish.html)! Be nice, I’m no artist. ---
