eldritchhobbitWell, as of today I'm no longer a thirty-something. I've been angsting about this milestone, but today I've decided that it's all right. New decade of my life, bring it on...
Huge thanks to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
estellye, cookiefleck, agentxpndble, thrihyrne, and homespunheart for the snailmail goodies, and to zmaddoc, ievil_spock_47i, homespunheart, and The Sage in Bloom for the virtual goodies, and to everyone who has posted good wishes for me today. I am blessed to have such wonderful and thoughtful friends! *huge hugs*
Happy birthday wishes to three friends who share my birthday,doctorwho42, barbedwriting, and savageseraph. Happy early birthday wishes to metal_aria, as well. May all of you enjoy many happy returns of the day!
It seems fitting today to share a couple of songs with you.
First, if I had an official theme song, this would be it: Marian Call's "I'll Still Be A Geek (After Nobody Thinks It's Chic)." Click to listen.
Second, a song near and dear to my heart, another one that would appear on the soundtrack to my life: Tori Amos's "Flying Dutchman."
In other news, a couple of cool things:
* Librivox.org has some new, unabridged recordings out, and some of them are especially of interest:
-- The Rivals of Sherlock Holmes, Vol. 1 by Various Authors
-- The Gray Phantom by Herman Landon
-- The Colors of Space by Marion Zimmer Bradley
* Ah Pook the Destroyer has a new album that's a musical interpretation of H.P. Lovecraft's work: The Silver Key.
I have some exciting professional news to announce soon, but for now, I'll just wish everyone a wonderful day. I'm grateful for you, my friends!
"I have been a nerd
Since long before anyone heard
That bookish girls should look and act a certain way.
And I'll still be a geek
When I am utterly antique
Because I do not care what normal people say."

Date: 2011-11-27 04:58 pm (UTC)So many belated good wishes my friend! Hope it was a great day!
And BTW: 40 is fine. It's 50 that sucks. Take it from one who's been there.

Date: 2011-11-27 05:56 pm (UTC)Ah, something to look forward to (or not, as the case may be, LOL). Right now, I'm somewhat surprised to say that 40 feels fine. Whew!
Thanks again!
