Okay, my darlinks, we are officially Moved. I am back in my untouchable attic kingdom to pick up the last few bits and pieces, and will be tooling around for my last precious internet hours until someone else shows up to do same. I have no idea when we will be reconnected chez NewHouse - could be later today, could be two weeks from now, could be a month. The efficiency of Irish businesses. I know. Perhaps the internet gods will send me a speedy hook-up as a birthday present.

There may be internet-café-ing - is likely to be, if we are not connected soonishly - but how sporadically? Who can tell. Thus, I am contactable by email, and also by comments to this here post, if something too awesome/urgent to let me miss should arise. Or, you know, if you just want to say hey and/or check to see if I am still alive, etc.

Boxchat and IM in general, however... not so likely.

I look forward to returning to you an official year older, but probably not very much the wiser. So, until I know not when, mes chers amis, adieu.

I'll just wish you a happy birthday early then, shall I? Just to make sure it goes through.

I hope your birthday is great, and that the year ahead is filled with wonderful things -- both the ones you plan and work for, and the spontaneous surprises that take your breath away. 8D

Have a delightful birthday, then, and best of luck at settling in! I will be sending hopes for rapid arrival of proper internet.

Au revoir. :)

Happy soon birthday, Sophie!! Next time you visit these United States, we can get you legally drunk!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BUTTHEAD.

Happy birthday!!!! :D I had thought I could say so once home, but by the time I get home it will not be your birthday there anymore. :/ When I have computer back I will have a Thing for you, so in the meantime I will share computerless solidarity. *bonds* I hope it's been fantastic and full of all the things that make you happiest! And, selfishly, that your internet is fixed soon. :)

THING.

Okay, so I found a cafe with free wireless yesterday, and I was kind of inexplicably hurt - given the sort of general Boxchat & Co. type of birthday traditions I has witnessed - that during my Internet Absence, the only 'Oh btw, happy 21st!' message in my inbox/anywhere was an automated one from FileFront. And then when we came home from rather tense family dinner thing, I discovered the faintest of unreliable wireless signals to poach, and with less than an hour of my birthday left, this comment came in.

So, uh, I just want you to know that you singlehandedly made my birthday.

Thank you.

Augh. Apparently they have underestimated your resourcefulness. ~~FOOOOLS BWAHAHAHAHA~~

The only good thing about having it non-birthday style like this is that now you can claim birthday status for MONTHS. And Things will hit you at random intervals when you least expect them. I'm sorry I do not have it now... if 3-5 days had not turned into two weeks and counting I might have. (*shifty mumble mumble deadlines mumble*) However. It is small in the grand scheme, but still. Hopefully Rest of Birthday (which it is, really) will be an improvement. ♥
