It's colder now than it was in December.

How can it be March already? The year only just began! There's still snow outside and everything!

Aside from many serious things that I really should write about some other time (some other time?), this means that it's only a coupla weeks till my 33rd birthday.

After my experiences in past years, I can't really be bothered to organise a party, but then again, thirty-three. An important number, when a Hobbit lass comes of age. I'll be moping forever if I don't at least try to get a couple of people to come and celebrate. (I'm assuming that even grown-up Hobbit don't stop moping.) Then again, I'll also be moping forever if I try to get people to come, and they don't. Aaaaaagh what to do.

Also, as my birthday is also my grandfather's birthday, and he's turning 90 this year (HOW CAN IT BE 2016 ALREADY?), I'll probably need to pick a different date. (If I celebrate in the first place.) BUT WHICH ONE. No, not the same. Our circles of friends don't really overlap, and 123 isn't as cool as 144 anyway.

Cannot cope. Off to Mordor...

Right. Back to B2MeM.

Wish I could be there to raise a glass with you! I've got this Elvish pipeweed, 'lothgalenas' they call it, that makes Longbottom Leaf seem like grass-clippings by comparison - it'd be the very thing for a coming-of-age party. "Carefully, carefully, with the plates!"

Oh well! Sending you heart-shaped smoke rings from the other side of the world - I hope you have a Party of Special Magnificence!

I wish you were on my side of the pond, too! Not because of the pipeweed (and not even because I'd hope for a musical present) but simply because it would be awesome to have you there for my birthday.

I clearly need to dig up a dragon's hoard first. Then I could cover everyone's travelling costs. :/

"How can it be March already?" I know that feeling. :D

I hope you have a smashing celebration!

Hmm. A PARTY! with mushrooms. And some wine and other yummy things.
I expect to be invited. And to get a great birthday present of course ;)

[oloriel.livejournal.com]

If the party happens, you WILL be invited. I'm afraid the presents will be mathoms rather than anything great, but you never know! ;)

[sermanya.livejournal.com]

no problem - you'll probably get them back one way or the other :)

[arwensommer.livejournal.com]

Did someone say "party"? Any chance I could score an invite? ;)

[oloriel.livejournal.com]

Hm, seems I may actually have to organise something after all... ;)
(Yes, I suspect you might be on the guest list...)

[arwensommer.livejournal.com]

Alternatively: would you care to attempt to schedule a get-together? :)

[oloriel.livejournal.com]

I would like to attempt scheduling a get-together independent of this idea, not as an alternative! :)

[arwensommer.livejournal.com]

Splendid! How can one most easily reach you? One remembers you do not like phone conversations...

[oloriel.livejournal.com]

I can handle phone conversations as long as I know that the other person isn't inconvenienced by the phone call. (My issues don't have to be rational! >_>) Or one could e-mail me at lyraforeniel at hotmail dot com!
