You have watched Fargo and not noticed an accent. You drive around with the air conditioning on until it hits 30 degrees, because it just was so darn hot outside. The local paper needs 6 pages to cover the Packers... in July! Your best shirt has a big letter G on it. You've said "Of course they'll win. They're God's team." You think it's nice enough to swim when the temperature hits 50. You family owns a "winter car" while the "good one" sits in the garage from Nov-Apr.

Happy Birthday :-)

Where the Boys Are (Long, but good. I just started re-reading it.) Prayers for Bobby (Exceptionally sad.) The Family Heart (Fantastic Point of View.) Metes and Bounds (Haven't finished it yet, but good so far and people I know who have read it, raved about it.) I'm sure if I go searching through my collection I can find more.

I hate to be so rude about it, but I am Ben and Ben only's Cupcake. Also, stop hitting on me. Jerk. ;-)

Happy Birthday. :-D

I wish I had good taste in music, but I will freely admit that I don't. I really very emphatically don't. But if you're willing to be a little adventurous, I would recommend Bond. It's a string quartet from Australia. Don't worry it's not a champagne and hors d'oeuvres string quartet, it's actually very high energy. It always seemed to make writing easier for me, mostly because it's very easy to get lost in the music. Good luck with the writing, congratulations on the shelves, and hope the fireworks are everything you expected and then some. ;-)

Mik was my favorite BmB Character. Though Cy was definately up there too.

I'm partial to almost all of K. Fuhr's characters in her comics, though I have to say I'm most fond of Demon from Friendly Hostility, with Fox coming in a close second. www.friendlyhostility.com if you want to check it out.

You're going to make the most adorable grandfather some day, don't you think? P.S. I'm stealing Lucky away from you

To one of my favorite bloggers, Happy birthday :-)

My Grandfather spoke these exact words not too long ago, and I am inclined to agree: "Va fa en culo Enrico Fermi e quella sfaciema de bomba nuclear!" < subtitle>f**k Enrico Fermi and that God damn nuclear bomb!< /subtitle>

I

Um, I don't know if you were aware, but you're only 22. You have more time than you could possibly know what to do with to find someone. Just be patient grasshopper. <333333334567

Happy Birthday Vic :-)

It's always better to over dress. You can take off the tie and roll up the sleeves of a dress shirt to look more relaxed, the same is not true for dressing up a tee shirt. Dress pants Dress shoes Sport jacket Cute but simple tee shirt And one of your fabulous belts and you should be good. You're dressed up enough to hide it if you're under dressed and down enough to take off the sport coat and blend right in. Be careful with the belt, it could make the look or destroy it. The dress code seems to be loose enough to be able to wear something funky with an enormous buckle and get away with it. (You could always flip it around with jeans and a button down a la Dolce and Gabbana, but personally I'm more of a fan of the dressed up tee shirt ensemble). Also, stun them with your personality and they'll forget you're even wearing clothes, even the gayest of the gay present. And also, if they are gay, don't worry too much about them scrutinizing your clothes because chances are good they're busy imagining you out of them. ;-) Have a drink for me while you're there. Love always, Luigi.

Happy Birthday Snow Dog! :-)

I just want to say a quick thank you to everyone who wished me a happy birthday. I appreciate all the well wishes and rest assured I had a splendid day :-)

I want to own the one who is yawning. I love sleepy kitties ^.^

Happy birthday Bev :-)

The web page is very cool, but I have to admit, the watermark of the eyes on the bottom totally freaked me out, until I realized what it was. :-)
