As birthday week comes to a close

Jan 18, 2004 12:34

Had my birthday party last night and had a great time seeing folks. Fortunately people spread out over the evening, so it was not a clump-fest. Got nice presents, ate cake, chatted all evening (though there was the party aggrivation of feeling like I needed to play host and so I didn't get to have long conversations with anyone). I was really ( Read more... )

Avrille, sorry we didn't make it. My sinuses got all stupid and my nap turned into a several hour snooze. We were looking forward to meeting new people and doing something out of the ordinary too. *sigh* Glad you had a good party and happy birthday!

I so wish I could've been there... :/

I wish you could have been here, too! Hey, are you going to have a baby shower in the U.S. (say with family and compadres) or only in the UK?

I originally was going to try to fly back to do the baby shower thing with y'all, but finances being what they are (and what they will become once I stop working to have the thing), I don't think it's going to become a reality... :(

Happy Birthday, again, and yay about the casual ring shopping.

I totally relate to the stage of the changing/emerging self, and understand that tentative, uneasy feeling. It's funny to feel all weird about doing something *right* for a change.

Thank you! Dunno when the D-day will fall for getting tackled by the ring fairy, but now he knows my tastes. My guess is sometime in the next six months.

I have to say, it is even weirder when I am trying to figure out how to relate to people differently, and knowing that you are also doing the same. It's really cool, but at the same time it is so intimidating because you're not a more "fixed" set of responses that I might be able to predict. Some of your responses are new, so talking myself into the "this person will not squash you like a chicklet on the sidewalk" is tougher. I can put it together logically, but it's the emotions that run shreiking in circles, wailing of doom, shaking hands in the air.
