I so want to have a Night Circus themed 40th birthday party. But I'd have to plan it myself which seems uber stressful.

There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

I know! I loved that extra layer of it. Just made it feel so much more real!
Ooh!
I kinda want to send email to the address in the book more or less constantly, kinda like Allyson talking into the wind to Tim's address, only, you know, probably to a marketing panel.
And Herr Theissen! I loved him.
Kat, but I keep forgetting you're my sister's age. For two responsible adults you're wildly divergent in lives.
She's doing a thing for her 40th, and I keep thinking "Am I 40? 45? Wait, this is about her...I'm so confused."
She has a life and I'm... well... boring.
Yeah, that whole significant other and two kids is no big deal. Not a societal ideal, or anything. Nothing a parent wouldn't basically beg her children to achieve.
But fuck. It's so much more exhausting and less interesting than a doctorate, a good job and the ability to take vacation without being trailed by 5 year olds. One of whom refuses to stop being on himself.
I'm not going to get into a battle about what's more exhausting living for two people who aren't me, but that's drawing glittery hearts around my sister's life right now that really aren't there.
Oo Kat I totally support the having a party for your 40th. I was going to, and then my MiL got diagnosed with cancer, which kinda put the kibosh on my plans. So then I was going to have a 42nd birthday party, and that just fizzled out. Now I have to wait until I'm 50.
Oh, who do I have to bribe so I can have a Night Circus -themed birthday party?
Sometimes, when I'm trying to drift off to sleep, I amuse myself by making up tents for the circus.
