It's not quite midnight, but it's close enough. I can't figure out how to change the time when I post from my phone anyway, so I guess it doesn't matter.

Today is a very special day. There are two members of my flist (two of my favoritest peoples on the internet, two people I am so lucky to call "friends") who are celebrating birthdays! They both deserve some tangible token of my adoration, but they're getting a shared LJ post instead.

Dear irisgirl12000: I am sometimes completely awed by you. You are so intelligent (not just about the sciencey stuff you do everyday for your job, but about books and culture and the world and everything) and so on top of things and seem to have it all together (which, I know, is usually just an illusion, but you do it so well!). You are such a fabulous writer, and quite often I love your brain for the things you come up with. You let me come crash at your house and make me feel welcome and you include me when I can't be there. And you don't laugh at me for being ridiculous. Seriously, I don't know what I'd do without you. I hope you have a fabulous birthday and that your hubby does something awesome for you.

Dear mimiheart: Honestly, I don't know that I'd even be here if it wasn't for you. There are several people I credit for talking me off that figurative ledge a few years back when I was having my major breakdown, but you were the one I spent hours on the phone with. I hate that our fandom divisions led us down different paths; I didn't realize until recently how much I missed talking with you on a regular basis. I love that there's something I'm trying to figure out now and I know that you would answer my questions honestly and without making me feel judged, and idk if you realize how awesome that it, but it is awesome. YOU are awesome. Hopefully your birthday will be awesome as well, and your kiddos will hopefully make is a special one.

To the rest of my flist, go wish irisgirl12000 and mimiheart the best of wishes for today. They deserve lots of love. <3

I'm getting ready to head upstairs, but I wanted to steal a few minutes of computer time to rec a ficlet.

acidquill wrote breaking my back with the weight of your heart, which is a coda of sorts to SPN 5X10. It's Castiel's POV, and I kinda really love it. I especially like this line: These humans with their star-bright lives that are all too easily snuffed out; they make him ache in ways he was never meant to experience. It's obviously a spoilerific little fic, but it's only like 500 words, so go read it and give acidquill some love? Or give her hell for making me cry twice in two days, whatever. Like the episode wasn't bad enough.

Now, I'm off to talk to irisgirl12000 about two very special boys, lol, and wait to see what the failest band ever was teasing about tonight. *mwah*
