All Access

I want it to be my birthday NOW! On the plus side of life, the $3.99 felaffel I ordered for lunch was rung in at $1.99 through some mysterious process I am not able to fathom.

It's strange reading a blog of an author I admire. I mean, having this access to her nicely bridges the worlds of "professional" and "whatever" creation which is an arbitrary and silly distinction, largely maintained for purposes of sales and pretension. And yet, I have been trained to believe that somehow worth and excellence go hand in hand with inaccessibility.

I have yet to leave a comment. The snow is still fresh and I don't want to begin with an ill-considered footprint.

Wow, I'm well and truly baffled by this reply.

Though I like "Birdgirl". Waxwings, attack!!

Birdgirl, the ruby-throats are trying to beat back the poison gas, but if you don't solve this soon, we're doomed!

(clue: there are no additional clues to be found in this reply.)

B-blankets?

Craig Thompson's Blankets?

And when is your birthay??

Congratulations The door of the death-cage has opened just enough to let BirdGirl and her starling brigade free but, OH NO!! DinoBoy and his trusty steed are too big to fit through!!

You must solve the first part of the mystery to save them, Birdgirl. What about that unworkable lj link? Is it just a clever ruse?

When is TTL's birthday?

(btw, no one really has to buy me a present. I will still love you).

Aie me, always saving the dashing hero from an untimely death at the hands of the evil Dr. Loosetalkio.

Alas, I have no time for your anagrams(?) and so essays require that I abandon DinoBoy to his untimely fate!

(Hee, thanks. Sadly (frustratingly) I have neither the money nor time to do all the lovely things I want to do for my friends for their birthdays. When school is over, there will be such joy as the world has never seen.)

Loosetalkio sinks shipsio! The dirty scoundrel!!

Not anagrams, no, no, something at once more demonic and infinitely simpler. You'll feel silly when you figure it out, Birdgirl. But now, you must put your cardigan back on to cover your feather print suit and return to your secret identity as a hard-knuckled, two-fisted UNIVERSITY STUDENT!!

The world shudders.

OK, these things MUST be drawn.

Have I mentioned that this has been making me giggle all day, and that you are awesome?

Also, good GOD am I slow. Duhhh... March 8 it is.

Once I'm no longer forced to wear my shackles (cardigan) there must be livejournal scavenger hunts.
