Oh dear, should I have gotten something for you? I'm terrible with gifts and sincere birthday wishes. Instead I'll just say that I'm glad you're here and distract you with e.e. cummings.
Sincerity scores very high in my book; I thank you for it.
I've found that I get depressed and disgruntled if not very many people wish me happy or in some way acknowledge my natal day. I've also realized that if I don't tell them it's my birthday, they aren't likely to know.
You have a book? Is it sort of like a diary, or a list of who's who in the showdog community? Remind me to steal it later so I can read it in a dark corner with a penlight, pretending to deciper your most perverse secrets.
The only excuse for my not having known the date of your birth is my not being personally acquainted with you before this week. Or maybe I already knew and refuse to admit as much for fear of revealing yet more of my obsessive villainy.
I do. It's a sort of combination showdog list/journal, a list of stats on assorted dogs and bitches, their stud record if I know any of it, plus all kinds of notes. Stealing it won't help you unless you can read Pig Latin Swahili AND figure out my other codes. I'll give you the fake one to borrow, though, if that will help satisfy your James Bond or DaVinci Code fantasies.
I'm liking your villainy more and more. My birthday's not the easiest to pinpoint, as some places on the net have it listed as September 20th and I do sometimes celebrate it then, too.
Good, I like elicting giggles. I bet yours sounds very cute.
Asocial is typical behavior for me, but of course that's not enlightening in anyway, simply repetition and reprinting of old news. You knew that long before we were ever acquainted. I don't think anyone has any power over habits, that's why addictions should never be looked down upon but are so often approached with fear, they make people do things no one can manipulate to their own means. Wouldn't it be wonderful if that statement swept the board and applied to everything, unfortunately it's only valid in most cases, and decidedly not in this one.
I don't celebrate birthdays, except those of my children, and especially not my own. I don't see the point, too much reverence is paid to the passage of time. We're always finding new ways to note it, check it, double check it. What exactly is the use. You know how I am with numbers. Usually I wish I could disregard them entirely. I'm surprised I even keep track of how old I am. For you though, Glover, I will make an exception. Consider that noted and a birthday gift in and of itself.
I've been wondering about your thoughts on free will. It's a subject that fascinates me. I'll ask you about it sometime when we can discuss it at length.
For me, my birthday isn't much about the passage of time, it's mostly just a chance to be King for a Day, or at least feel like I am, which is not to say that I try to make everyone my slave, I know better, but it gives me a good excuse to feel that I am exceptional. Your gift is noted and appreciated. Thank you.

Your icon makes me giggle.
