I believe it's the 9th in Japan now?

Happy birthday, shiny_monkey. Next year in Toronto south-western Ontario someplace.

A lot of people were seriously discombobulated about lj not emailing them people's comments, or notice of people's comments, or whatever it is lj does. Possibly an oddity of my own, but what's the fun in having lj tell you that you've got comments? It not only spams your inbox, it deprives you of the pleasure of going to your journal and seeing that there are comments and clicking to see who they're from. Like back in the days of snail mail when I'd call home from work and ask if I'd gotten any mail. My roomies had to be instructed to answer simply yes or no, and not 'A postcard from your friend Rita in England and a letter from your aunt and something that seems to be a card from someone called Laura McLaren.'

(And why were people so discombobulated at not being notified? Couldn't they have just gone to their ljs and looked to see if there were comments? I feel I'm missing something here.)

Happy birthday to your mom!! =D

And I will take note of your birthday. It sucks to have a birthday so close to Christmas since so many people will just combine your Christmas and birthday celebrations (and worse, presents), as joasakura knows all too well!!

You know, now that I'm older, it's not so bad. Helps to fill that weird week between Christmas and New Year's. And all those 2's and 7's in my date are somehow pleasing to me. I'd say good numerical feng shui except with my luck, their proximity and order probably signify something horrible. XD

In any case, I hope you had a great day!

It's barely started ^_- I'm forcing the other foreigners to take me out to lunch, so it'll be a decent day at the very least =D

And we'll all wish hard for the good feng shui for your 2's and 7's. It's got to be significant somehow and you can't have gotten to this age with thoroughly bad luck, right? =D
