I thought I was going to lose this community forever. Seriously. My computer was doing some weird crap, then I saw the ducks, and everything was okay again.

So, here I am.
And you know what you missed? Right? My birthday!

The big two-two. That's pretty scary right? I know. Considering I've been here since I was oh, nineteen. 
So I'm an old man now. But I don't have cancer, or any weird disease. So I think I'm doing okay.

I sort of missed you all. Okay, okay. I said it, happy? 

I won't ask for presents (because I'm mature now , see?) but feel free to send me things anyway. Like cigarettes. It's cold outside, and I don't want to leave my shithole of an apartment.

Sounds like you're still asking for presents.

[quicksavensmoke]

what! come on Minako, really? I mean if that's what you're gathering -- you obviously have some weird subconscious need to send me something. Which is totally ok.

[foolsarcana]

Right. Some weird subconscious need. Mhm.

[broadwaybound]

Whether or not you're doing okay not dependent on whether or not you have any diseases, it depends on what you've accomplished, if anything.

[quicksavensmoke]

That sounds pretty harsh coming from someone I hardly believe I know. Actually I am sure you don't know me.

I've accomplished quite a bit- you have no idea how lucky it is to come out alive where I'm from.

And what do you have to show for yourself, huh?

[broadwaybound]

Showchoir competition trophy wins, a lead role in the school musical West Side story, countless singing and dancing awards from the time that I was only a baby.

And now I'm a finalist into one of the leading musical theatre schools in the country.

I'm very accomplished. Did I mention I only just turned eighteen?

[ironysoul]

You missed my birthday, too, so there!

[quicksavensmoke]

Oh that's crap! When and how old?

[ironysoul]

February 18th. I'm 18!

[makewayforroze]

I know we haven't met but I'd like to wish you Happy Birthday.

[quicksavensmoke]

Can't say I'm not thankful, thanks! Twenty-two is kinda boring :\

[makewayforroze]

Did you at least celebrate it with friends?

[heavenlyhome]

Happy birthday, however belated. Had you a cake, dear?

[quicksavensmoke]

Something like it! I had a crappy cake from a crappy little joint when I had to leave to buy all the essentials. Cigarettes, ramen, you know.

It wasn't like yours!

[heavenlyhome]

Oh, that's too bad. If you are not tired of desserts, would you like one, then? However you like best.

[morethanseeing]

If you think 22 is old, I can only imagine your reaction when 35 rolls around.

[quicksavensmoke]

Awful! I'm hoping I do it gracefully hah hah. I'm not saying I'm not grateful, mind you! I know I'm still young - especially in alien years.

[morethanseeing]

You've still got lots of youthful years left. I didn't know there were alien years -- how do they work out for humans?

[aura_wall]

Cigarettes? ...Those reeking stalks of poison?

[quicksavensmoke]

First off, the smell is amazing - secondly why do you care, if you aren't smoking them? Although it was fun to see you try.

[aura_wall]

It smells of burial spice.

[fated_circle]

Enjoying yourself?

[quicksavensmoke]

:O!
Hey! I sure am. Don't you have fun surrounded by... quacks? (Hah hah get it..?)

[blond_with_envy]

Pan-handling again?

[quicksavensmoke]

C'mon on, it isn't like that. I just am not afraid to ask for help!
