In forty-five minutes from now, I will be twenty-one years old. Hurrah.
Although I've technically had my birthday party already, and am feeling distinctly crazy and not very much in the rampant celebration mood, I would nevertheless love to see you all. Can I suggest, then, that you all drop in as and when you like? Say from 3pm onwards, because I need to fetch my cousin from the station before that, and then I will chuck everyone out at dinnertime, but that's a good few hours oftea coffee-drinking and gentle social interaction. It can be what is referred to in a certain type of novel as an "open house", or something slightly less pretentious. Anyway! I would like a lot to see people. Come come come.
Hurrah for sleep-deprivation, too. After sitting in my room feeling crazy for much of the day, I finally went out for a nice drink with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
lilka, and then went over to see foulds, talk about directing stuff (the Aeneid is now on version 15.0) and confess that I've begun to hallucinate shadows at the edge of my vision. We're good friends and good co-directors and we work very well together, and I do not want him to be hit by a pig truck.
Actually, you know what I want for my birthday? Other than seeing people and a cake, which my parents are apparently sending me? (They also sent me the world's most gloriously tacky birthday card - it lights up! - on the grounds that I'd love it, and they were right.) I want five-things fic. Forlizziwig's birthday yesterday, I wrote "five gifts members of SG-1 gave each other over the course of ten years on the Stargate Program(me)" in her birthday card, which was lots and lots of fun. I want, I don't know, five things Geoffrey Tennant did when he got out of the asylum and five things Lily Evans did in her last year alive and five conversations Mal and River have had and five things Rodney thinks the Ancients should have invented but didn't because they had no concept of pop culture and five things Fraser did when he saw a beach for the first time and five reasons why Spock and McCoy love each other really and five times Teddy Lupin was genderqueer. Etc.
..etc. etc. Hope to see lots of shiny people tomorrow.
