{Cross posted from the temp Board}

So I finally managed to make it over and sign up here, and I figured that there would be no better way to spend a first post than to start a nice, self-promoting, egotistical thread of my very own. Yay!

So I’m taking this opportunity to announce that my birthday was on Friday. But this wasn’t just any birthday, oh no. This was the birthday, on which I became a full adult member of society. That’s right, I’m 18. God help us all.

So what does being 18 entail? Well, I can finally do all that wild and crazy stuff that I’ve been longing to do for years and years. Finally, I can buy por…errr, I mean, vote! And let’s not forget that one who is 18 can easily purchase cigare…I mean, lottery tickets! And thank God I’m finally old enough to…uhhh…register for the draft! Yeah, that’s right! Draft registry, huzzah!

But another benefit of being eighteen, which I’m not even going to sidestep, is that I can finally be considered an adult right here on the boards. And that means that I can finally flirt with all those fine-lookin Doperettes that I’ve had boyish crushes on for so long. Nothing stands in my way any longer! (Except my lack of flirting skills, which I hope to work on).

So step right up, ladies! Who wants to be the first to corrupt an impressionable young bo…I mean, man!

Happy Birthday Jester!!!

PD. Back home, being 18 means you can legally drink. 🙂 If you want to, you can go on a journey down there.

Happy birthday, **Jester**. I’ll be turning 18 myself in a few months.

Ok, granted, I’ll be turning 18 for the 22nd time. :eek:

Rowr…

The boards were down for my 21st. That’s probably a good thing, drunk posting would have been guaranteed.

Happy birthday!

Although I have to tell you, I’ve set the cap of Possible Hamadryad Liasons at +/- twelve years, so you’re out of luck with me.

I’m sure you’re crushed. _snort_

Congratulations. I was the youngest in my graduating class last year, meaning that I was 17 when we graduated… so no riotous partying for me then. Oh no. I had to make do with sitting in a park in downtown Helsinki and drinking lukewarm beer half-secretly. ☹

Of course, I made up for it later. 🙂

So anyway. Congratulations again. Don’t spend all your money on those lottery tickets…

_checks_ Am too…

:eek:

I hope I’m not the only one who was taken aback by a post asking **Jester** to go on a “journey” “down there?” Until I looked at **Karl’s** name, I figured some wimmin’ doper was being REEEAAALLYYYYYY friendly to **Jester**.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JESTER, ENJOY!

Happy Birthday, Jesterfish!!!

I know I told you this on-line, Jesta, but happy big B. And happy belated 21st, Little Bird.

In the fall, in a little over six months, I’ll be eighteen too. And I’ll be able (Finally) to flirt with Crunchy Frog.

Did you get any awesome gifts, like underwear bombs or a day glow slinky?

Happy birthday **Jester** , Although now your sig is outdated. Maybe you should fix it to something like…

Jester may be legal now, but he’s still restricted in most states from anything really worthwhile.

It’s just off the top of my head.  
-Rue.

Happiest of Birthday’s, darling boy!

OOps…that should have read man, I guess. I’ll get used to it eventually.

I hope your day was as special as you are…and that you have the best year of your life! [sub]No one deserves it more than YOU do, hon![/sub]

Much Love,

Cheri

Alright, well, I suppose it’s time to begin with the thank you’s, so here’s my best shot!

\*\* MoodIndigo1 \*\*, thank you very much! I appreciate the birthday wish, and consider it thrown back to you on whatever day your birthday happens to fall on.

**KarlGrenze** , say what you want, but in my mind all I’ll ever remember is that you asked me to “go on a journey down there.” So…how YOU doin?

**Persephone** , thank you for the birthday wish, and I’m sure I’ll come up with _some_ to reason to sick the man on you. Not that I would, of course. 😃

**MysterEcks** , 18 is still eighteen. Thanks for the well-wishes!

\*\* Little Bird\*\*, happy belated birthday! And if my understanding is correct, _any_ time is a good time for drunk posting.

**sleeplessinseattle** , I’m very flattered. Though you obviously must be mistaken. I have no charms to speak of at the moment. ::scratches ass, burps:: See?

**Pammipoo** , all I can say to that is…heh. Cool.

**Hamadryad** , I doubt you can fully comprehend just how crushed I am. ☹ So very close…

**vanilla** , sorry but I have to say it: Hey baby, what’s YOUR sing?

\*\* auRa\*\*, best wishes to you, and a prayer that never again will you have to celebrate a birthday with lukewarm beer. I won’t be able to join you, though, since I don’t drink. Still, have one for me!

**The Mermaid** , happy almost your birthday! And I am doing quite well, thank youm for asking.  
What? You mean there was more meaning to that?😉

**Hamlet** , I must say, I’ve never been happier that you were wrong. I mean hey, **KarlGrenze** practically _threw_ herself at me!

(Blatantly ignores **KarlGrenze’s** clarification post)

**Medea’s Child** , thank you very kindly for the wishes. I hope all is going well dahntahn.

**Zoggie** , no underwear bombs, but I did get a nice leather jacket, and my school’s show went really well, so I’m happy! Thanks again!

**Rue** , I like the new sig, and I was actually going to ask for one from you. Looks like you beat me to the punch, though, and I’m grateful.  
By the way, does this make me less of a baby?

**Nocturne** , hooray for Pisceses! (Piscii?) Happy almost your birthday!

**Scotti** , what can I say. You continue to be one of the nicest and sweetest people on the board, and I thank you. (I also thank you for the wonderful card you sent me). Maybe now that I have some free time I’ll be able to talk to you online once in awhile.

Thanks again everybody!
