Birthday winding down.

[chanaleh]

Thank you all for your birthday wishes. Weirdly, this has been rather anticlimactic as birthdays go; between having the party several days early, and having the actual birthday immediately follow two days of Rosh Hashanah*, and having Menschen rehearsal tonight preclude any birthday outing in the usual mode... well, it's been low-key. (Maybe this is an argument for that 33-1/3 b'day party next February 6.) However, my new bosses got me a lovely cake, and I got to see my sweetheart, and tomorrow I'm getting taken out for birthday dinner, and... life is good.

*Rosh Hashanah went fine. The singing gig, y'know. And nice dinners with good friends.

Since I've been posting so little of late, I will succumb to a meme:
Google for "[your name] needs": (EDIT: I'm now sorting these into categories for amusement value.)

From the department of Randomness:

Erica Needs No Defense From Me, However...

Erica needs to travel to England to recover gold owed her family and restore the family's good name. (Rah!)

From the department of A Little Too Poignant For Comfort:

Erica needs the structure and love of a family.

Erica needs to come home (come home...)

Erica needs to make some tough choices

So keep the prayers coming. Erica needs them.

Erica needs all the help and all the heroes she can get.

Erica needs a good home willing to commit to her for her future.

From the department of Heh, So I'm Told:

Erica needs a girl.

Erica needs a big reality check.

From the department of You Can Say That Again:

Erica needs a story that doesn't involve her screaming or threatening people

All Erica needs to do is plug her source reduction or recycling data into the appropriate cells in the excel tool, (actually it's budget data for manufacturing costs, but hey.)

Erica needs subject in the subject lines.

Erica needs articles. She’d like to have the newsletter out by the next brotherhood meeting.

... Yuh-huh.
What Erica wants on the other hand is an upgrade to her stompy boots, but no luck so far. Even Teddy Shoes and Zappo's have very little to offer. Ah well. Trash must go out, and chanaleh must to bed.

Yay! Happy birthday!

[mixedborder.livejournal.com]

With amazing Holmesian brainpower, I have just deduced that it is your birthday.

Happy Birthday!

[mixedborder.livejournal.com]

Oops, I should have used a cheerful icon, like this.

[navrins]

Holmes as in the manufacturer of window fans, not the detective, right?

[currentlee.livejournal.com]

aw, happy birfday!
i hope i'll get to see you over simchas tora!

So apparently your 33 1/3 is my 34th.

*blink. I'm going to be 34??? whoah.*

Does Erica *have* any stories involving her screaming and threatening people?

A. An. The. The. A. A. (Just in case they help out.)

How do you "upgrade" boots?

Oh, funny! I hadn't even realized. We'll have to celebrate together.

How do you "upgrade" boots?

The ones I have now are approximately 3" heels (I think; I can't remember if I actually measured them). But even being 6'1" is not always enough, and I would like the Stompy Boot Fairy to bring me at least another half-inch, please, for recreational use. -- Also the insoles have completely come loose, though that's not an irreparable problem.

Will there be a screening of the 3rd Naked Gun movie? I think there should be...

[navrins]

Whoops, I left out a few characters:

Your 33 1/3 + 3 is my 34th.

Happy birthday.

Good luck on the boot quest. Can't wait to say, "Hey, nice boots!" next time I see you. ;-)

Is there anybody who retails New Rock locally?

[chanaleh.livejournal.com]

Ah, New Rocks... I think that might be a little *more* ambitious than I was really going to get. What I really want is tall-and-stompy, which New Rocks are not going to give me... although, hmm. ;-)

Happy birthday a little late!

[chanaleh.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I loved your Rosh Hashanah card though!

[vettecat.livejournal.com]

Glad you liked it! (Now you know why I needed your address.) :-)

[points.livejournal.com]

Happy post-birthday, sweetie. Don't we still owe each other birthday dinners from two years back? ;)

[chanaleh.livejournal.com]

I'm pretty sure you've redeemed yourself for birthday dinners with me for the foreseeable future, but I would love to take you to one!

Your search - "Pygment needs" - did not match any documents

[chanaleh.livejournal.com]

Good news for you, then? :-} Or does it just mean your needs are too far buried?

SUBJECT

[awhyzip.livejournal.com]

and the "check" is in the mail...

[skreeky]

Evidently, there is a DJ now named "Kriss Needs" and so my search yields a bunch of gig dates and reviews of very little interest. Poo.

[underwatercolor.livejournal.com]

*hugs!* Happy things! Mmm.. stompy boots... :)

[besamim.livejournal.com]

I'd be afraid to try that meme myself. Googling "Michael needs" would probably yield stuff like "Michael needs to leave the Neverland ranch and stop hanging out with little boys," and that would be the more polite stuff.

I just bought awesome suede boots from www.shoemall.com. Just in time for going to Ren Faire. :) Alas, it's forecasted to pour all weekend. :P Poor new awesome suede boots.

[melopoeia.livejournal.com]

happy birthday.

[muchabstracted.livejournal.com]

Oooh, I saw many of those! I was a big fan of the travelling to England for money and adventure option...
