Happy birthday and turkey, to me!
Nov. 28th, 2002 10:17 amEvery seven or eight years I get the doubleheader of having my birthday fall on Thanksgiving day, which is my favorite holiday. Whee! After early dinner with my dad at his retirement center, then I get to go up and have another dinner with friends, and J is making me the cake from heaven -- a coconut cake recipe from the Williams Sonoma catalog that is so dense and rich and divine that it is indescribable by a mere mortal.
And to celebrate (or maybe not, I had no beta reader for this, so it could be horrible, I don't know) my holiday, I posted a new Spike/Buffy story at my web site, http://www.drizzle.com/~gwyneth/stories/living.html called The Living. Just in case anyone's interested. (It's kinda dark and smutty.)
Things I'm thankful for:
My Evil Twin sister, who will never forget my birthday since it's hers, too.
That my dad is still healthy and living well in his new place.
That I still have a couple friends left in this world, and for friends who move here from other cities and surprisingly, still talk to me.
For the bitkahs, even the ones who despise me. ;-)
For hottie English vampires and Watchers and the adorable California girl they love, sexy lawmen of the Old West, surly FBI directors and spooky agents, and British secret agents.
For turkeys who give their lives so that we may sit around in a tryptophan coma after eating them.
For songvids and new shows and old fandoms and that rare good fanfic that makes you feel like it's worth it.
For the LJ community -- I never thought I'd want to do this, was worried about the whole "look at me" thing and the danger of wannabe BNFness, but this has turned out to be such a wonderful place where I've made so many positive new connections and had so many interesting discussions. I'm surprised every day, and that's a good thing.
For my horrible, run down, expensive house, but at least it's mine.
And most of all for the alien face-hugger, psychotic, violent, adorable bitch cat from hell, Emma, who makes my life worth living...
