to those of you who came by to help me celebrate my birthday on friday, thanks. =) it was wonderful seeing so many of you come out! it felt like a joyous reunion, not just for me, but for everyone else who got to see people they also don’t often get to see. seeing you again reminded me that i am so so so incredibly lucky to have such wonderful people in my life, that I have such good and loving friends, and that i am, for whatever reasons, someone you care about. a huuuuuuuuge hug to the folk who made it and those who sent along well wishes! i love you all.
