Happy Birthday, Jesse!
Happy Birthday, Theodosia!
I'd rather stay home and watch television. It's often funnier than killing stuff.

I'll be at Megan's. Looking forward to it.
In other news, some loonie on another board (she's not a regular there) has caused a ruckus by telling me that I am not allowed to celebrate Christmas because I am an Atheist and that she was offended when I wrote "Merry Christmas, everyone" in one of my posts.
Her actual posts:
Java, I am a little confused. You wished us a Merry Christmas but yet you posted earlier "she's an Atheist (as am I)". So how does an Atheist celebrate the largest Christian Holiday of the year (the birth of Christ being the reason for the holiday, in case you forgot)and not be a hypocrite when wishing others a Merry Christmas? Can you explain this to me. I have played the game of non-offensiveness for a long time, but the fact that atheist pretend to celebrate a religious holiday just gets under my skin.
I was laughing too hard to be insulted, but others are not laughing and they are eviscerating her. I am still laughing. Maybe tomorrow I'll be offended at her offense.
But way more important than that is to say: Happy Birthday Theodosia!! and Happy Birthday Jesse!!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Don't you know that as an atheist, you are not allowed to celebrate birthdays?
I'm offended! (or I would be, if I wasn't an atheist).

Heh, I just put the link up!
Edited: I hope it's not bad form to bring up another board; I don't make a habit of it and I apologize if it's going to get stompy attention. I am just so completely awestruck at the weirdness of this that I mentioned it here. And linked, in case anyone wants to read the loonie up close.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
So wait, are you supposed to say, "have a sucky fake holiday that isn't even real, bitches"? "Have a happy completely random day off in the middle of the week for no reason at all that I am prepared to acknowledge." Would that make you less of a hypocrite? Or just more of an asshole?
Ooh, or maybe it's supposed to be some mystical thing where it should burn your mouth to say the very word. That would be kinda neat.

Maybe when you're done laughing, you could point out that Christmas is not in fact the largest Christian Holiday of the year. In case she forgot, you know, about that cross thing.

I have played the game of ignore-the-stupid for a long time, but the fact that a stupid person just said something incredibly stupid just gets under my skin.
