There are lots of birthdays in my life in December. Today, for instance, is the birthday of the fabulous Mr. Bedell, smiley, witty and quality material at a stuffy party full of people you don't know and don't care to. I know today is his birthday because we are friends on facebook. (Fucking facebook - but useful!) The 6th was B's brother's, the World's Biggest Simpsons Fan. I want to sick his not-pompous expertise on another, whose high-and-mighty attitude indicates unsubtly that she believes she is the holder of that title, over a game board match. He would slaughter her. The 17th is a lady's with whom I share the same place of birth and last name, the only person I know who farts freely and doesn't apologise, because it's natural. I admire her lack of concern with norms. The following day is the birthday of two people: a hoob with a twinkle in his eye and a superhot air traffic controller. And Monday will be that of the lovely Apple to my Pear, a great letter-writer and one of the funniest people I've ever met. She makes me happy just standing beside me.
I like December.

hmmn a stuffy party full of people you don't care to know, what could that be?
Also I love that free-farter, she's so fun to be around.
hahaha! Mr. Max man's first word is "no" and he says it for everything, including yes.
I've never actually been in such a situation with him - I hope you didn't think I meant your wedding!!
I was just looking at pictures of Mr. Max man. He has great cheeks.
damn! I was hoping you meant my wedding (in a joking way, I mean) that would be so blatant and kind of funny if that's what you meant. and then we could have this tongue in cheek f%#k you hahaha conversation on the blogosphere like we do in real life conversation and no one would get it but us. where have all the inside jokes gone :( (wouldn't it be great if I could think of one to put here at the end of this paragraph?)
apparently Mr. M loses control laughing with B's dad and just keeps giggling out "no, no, no," I can just see that.
I need to know if the apple is someone starting with an A. it's starting to drive me crazy, wondering who this non-pear knitting person is.
Don't you think the worst thing about writing a blog is wondering if you should edit your thoughts in case your friends, or colleagues, or what have you, are reading? and then doesn't that bring up issues of honesty and transparency in life? Blogging has opened my eyes to ways I hide in the 'real' world. It's bizarre and somehow I feel like I'm growing.
Incidentally Bedell is a great person to have throw a fart out in a stuffy situation. very effective, B has learned this technique as well. I have yet to learn how not to laugh.
I know, I love the tongue in cheek, but I worry a bit about getting it across without the knowing look or the tone that makes it so in real life. Maybe it'll come with more blogging practice. I don't fear that the in-jokes will ever be lost, though!
I hope I can see Mr. Max at Christmas!
No, the apple doesn't start with an A. That's your first hint. Or third...
Yeah, I always think about the editing thing! Usually something like, if so-and-so were to read this, am I going to sound like I'm kissing their ass? which is almost worse than insulting someone in a fit of rage. And I think of the transparency thing, too. I think as long as what I've said feels honest, then it's okay. That works with things that are a bit touchy or nasty too, like if I don't write it, will I feel like I'm being dishonest or like I'm cheating myself? It IS a real test on your day-to-day hiding, isn't it?
Good stuffy escape technique! Matt used to do that, silently, to get people he didn't like at work to leave him alone, which I thought was hilarious.
hahaha! That's a funny picture of Matt you've just painted
does it start with S?
No!
D?
J?
J.
of J, D and little O?
did I crack your mystery code?
do I win something?
Yes, you should win something, I like that idea! Hmmmm, what will it be...
