I managed to survive my birthday yesterday - having holiday I needed to take before the end of the year meant that I had the day off, so I graciously allowed my parents to take me out for lunch - a rather fine meal at Pierre Victoire. Alas, the shopping for birthday presents didn't go quite so well - failing miserably to get anything at all. Ah, well...
This year, I've sent virtually no holiday cards, so thanks to those who did send me birthday/Christmas wishes, and apologies to those I haven't sent anything to.
Re: hate memes: Those of you who participated in these know who you are. I'm sure you're remaining anonymous because you don't want the rest of us that you're pathetic, despicable, bigoted, untrustworthy, nasty little people. Perhaps you should consider the old saying "if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all" before launching your disgusting and unwarranted attacks on fabulous people like
hermorrine and others of my friends, all of whose boots you have proved yourselves utterly unworthy to lick.
