Outed on my birthday

[livejournal.com profile] excessor opened up his big mouth typed freely and revealed that it's my birthday. Yup, I'm 48 now, which doesn't seem like something to celebrate. I really don't like having a fuss made over me, 'specially when it's about aging, which I'm doing as much as possible to slow down; I hate being the center of attention.

I did get treated well this morning by [livejournal.com profile] mike_norcal, who put roses on my desk and made me a most excellent omelette. We plan to go out to dinner at Kabul, a fine Afghan restaurant nearby, with the aforementioned [livejournal.com profile] excessor.

Feel free to leave me birthday greetings in a comment.

Happy Natal Day! We folk who dislike loads of hoopla being made over their birthdays will save you a seat over here in the "No Waiters Singing 'Happy Birthday' Out Of Key" section. :)

Hope you have a great day! Watch out for random spankings.

[looks around nervously] I thought you were too sick to come down to the Peninsula?

Or perhaps my random spanking will come from some stranger... the studly UPS guy, perhaps? [starting to feel better]

Happy Birthday!

Owww!

Which reminds me of our idea for a kitty skid row . crack house movie. Like Cats crossed with Rent.

Owww!

Naw... this kitten doesn't appear distressed, so the picture amused me. They seem to like small spaces, probably because it makes them feel safe.

Happy birthday! You certainly don't look 48. But what is wrong with 48 anyway?

[identity profile] dr-scott.livejournal.com 2004-07-19 01:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Nothing a blank check and a couple of devoted rent-men couldn't cure, I'm sure. :)

To quote Tom Lehrer, I'm "Sliding Down the Razor Blade of Life!" (sung cheerfully)

Celebrate!

Well, we did have a nice celebration, including two scoops of rose-and-pistachio ice cream (and Afghan specialty) -- I NEVER eat ice cream. Followed by 6FU (brutal episode, they really should warn you...) and Jacuzzi. I'm now fat and relaxed. Shame you're not here to share it with. :)

And isn't "Life Style" a condom brand? [eg]

Thanks! You were mentioned at dinner last night, so I took the liberty of friending you to read your posts...

[identity profile] champdaddy.livejournal.com 2004-07-20 04:06 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm flattered... included you among private friends, maybe there will be more chance of something interesting for you.

Buon Compleanno! Joyeux Anniversaire! Herzliche Glückwünsche zum Geburtstag!

Scott! --

I've been remiss in not following up to your last communication. Hope to remedy that soon. In the meantime you could join up here and read the really good stuff. ;-)
