Today I turn 35

[serene]

No angst, no sorrow, no gnashing of teeth. Just a resolve, and a peaceful one at that, to make the next 35 as much of a journey towards myself as the first 35 were.

I've always thought I would decide by the time I was 35 whether or not to have children; I guess they're not in the cards. Also, I guess I thought I'd feel less like a kid by now, but I don't. I feel younger than I did at 17.

Ah, well, good journey so far. May the wind be at my back the rest of the way.

Thank you so much!

Whenever people doubt the "reality" of the communities I have found on the web, I remind them that my net.friends are the first people to wish me well, the first I tell when stuff happens, and the first to shore me up when times are hard. Thanks so much for your kind wishes, Persephone. They were yet another bright spot in a wonderful birthday.

I'm also looking forward to meeting you in person someday, and I hope it'll be someday soon. Happy thirty-five and enjoy the journey.

Meeting in person

[serenejournal.livejournal.com]

As I meet more and more wombabes in person, it gets easier and easier, but it's still so awkward for me at first. I think I would like to have a womboink here when we get a bigger place, because when I'm in "server mode", it's easier for me to socialize without (as much) awkwardness. Thanks so much for the wishes, and I hope to add your name to my bedpost^H^H^H^H^H^H^Hlist of wombats I've met. :-)

Wow. Magn0lia is quite cute. :)

[shaktiqueen.livejournal.com]

I am so glad you said that, as I have to concur. I have just been to shy to say so.

Persephone
shy online but not in person go figure.

*meow*

[anmorata.livejournal.com]

I agree with the both of you, though I'm entirely the opposite - shy in person, but not online. ;)

[ex-imagine-t263.livejournal.com]

Flirt with her-- I dare you. ;)

Re: *meow*

[anmorata.livejournal.com]

You are the devil over everyone's shoulder, Jessi. First you give xRuth apples, now you're daring me to flirt with Magn0lia.. who's next? ;)

Hey Magn0lia.. nice.................. boots. ;)

*giggles madly*

Re: *meow*

[ex-imagine-t263.livejournal.com]

It wouldn't be as much fun if I told you who was next. ;) And you cheated. You have to go to her journal and flirt with her!

Re: *meow*

[anmorata.livejournal.com]

oh, fine then. =P

Re: *meow*

[ex-imagine-t263.livejournal.com]

*Going to check out Magn0lia's journal* :) :)

Re: *meow*

[anmorata.livejournal.com]

*grumble grumble* she's gone for another 10 days :P

[ex-imagine-t263.livejournal.com]

Perhaps we should start a fanclub. ;)

Jessi
Bold enough to comment on her cuteness, but too shy to flirt

[magn0lia.livejournal.com]

Oh my gosh! You guys are so sweet and I just don't know what to say. Special thanks to Jessi for making sure I saw this even though I was away from the computer for a couple weeks. I think I'll walk around smiling all day today. :)

[ex-imagine-t263.livejournal.com]

Yay! And while I'm pointing things out, take a look at this (http://www.livejournal.com/talkread.bml?itemid=11145129). ;)

All your spankings will have to be...

Happy Birthday!!!!

May the next 35 and more bring you joy, love, and laughter.

Re: Happy Birthday!!!!

[serenejournal.livejournal.com]

Thanks SO much! It's been a wonderful day so far. Loads of presents, lots of alone-time, and they gave me tomorrow off at work (okay, I coulda used the money, but a long weekend is good, too).

*hugs* Thanks again.

[jeliza]

Happy birthday, and welcome!

What can I say that hasn't been said?

[ex-imagine-t263.livejournal.com]

Happy Birthday, Serene!

Love,
Jessi
