You say it's your birthday...

mollyringleWoohoo! It's my birthday, and it's Friday, and it's cloudy. Thank you, weather gods. (Don't feel bad if you didn't know or remember. I didn't put the date on my userinfo, and I don't stand much on these Hallmark holidays anyhow.)
However, what I want to know is: what would you all get me, if money and influence were no object? Yes yes, I know, you'd fly me to New Zealand where the four hobbit actors and Orlando Bloom, in costume, would each give me a long kiss and a shoulder massage, and would each then tell the press that I'm the best kisser they ever encountered and that I'm also a fabulous writer who deserves widespread mass-market publication. BUT, getting beyond that, what else would you give me?
Be creative here. Think large. Gift me British Columbia and Alberta tied together in a nice purple ribbon, for instance. Or get on the web and find me a good-looking Gothic castle with a dungeon. Or the world's largest cruise ship, stocked with expensive chocolate in cold storage. You get the idea.
That should break up the monotony of the day a little. Thank you. Over and out.

Date: 2003-08-22 08:44 am (UTC)Last time I heard anyone make comments like that it was because they were lamenting getting older and getting huffy with anyone who worked out that said person was getting older. :)
Just kidding, have a great day. Personally I don't care much for birthdays... I usually think oh bugger, more presents to get, usually a day or two before the birthday!
no subject
Date: 2003-08-22 12:02 pm (UTC)Anyway, thank you. :)

b-day list

or, if you want to branch out from the PNW:
http://www.castles-for-sale.com/sale/index.htm
Then you need a way to get around:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2428916052&category=10540
Then you can introduce yourself as, "Lye, Lemon Lye"
Or something with a little more panache:

Or when you need to haul stuff:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2429098560&category=10540
And something for email:

you get the idea...have a good day

nice Seattle house: $7.4 million
a castle in France: $9 million.
Mini pickup truck...hee...cute.

Date: 2003-08-22 01:21 pm (UTC)I would then have you over for a night of bourbon, scotch and jager shots until we vomited and passed out.
I would then take the vomit, get it bronzed and mounted with a small plaque that reads: Some Things You Can't Leave Behind
We'd finish off the day by putting on matching red mesh thongs and running to the beach to sit and eat sand while discussing the pros and cons of long term disability, neo-Nazi thugs, urinating in people's suitcases at the airport and self awareness through garbage art.
Have a very happy birthday, lady.

Date: 2003-08-22 09:06 pm (UTC)It looks like there are so many people who would give you cool gifts! I'm afraid I don't know what I would get you... Perhaps a day at a ritzy spa where you would be pampered with any and all services that you desire.
