Alive.

I really, really, *really* hope I got back to everyone who wished me a happy birthday, because you guys are all just faboo!!

Was kidnapped for a picnic lunch out in the heart of Africa...okay, so it was the Wild Animal Park. But...someone was out walking an anteater on a leash. That pretty authentic and happens all the time in Africa, right? Come on, it's a *huge* continent! Somewhere someone's *gotta* be walking an anteater on a leash. The only slightly bad thing was that it was actually hot out there. Really wish I had worn shorts.

I'm going to have to try and catch up with LJ and more emails later. (Among other things, those 10 unpopular fandom things look interesting...) But I have to wait to hear back about possible job. (Darn dial-up modem!) I had a second interview yesterday, but I'm not too optimistic. My general impression was that they wanted and needed someone with more experience than me. Well, it was worth a shot.

Hi. Sounds like you had a nice birthday. I wasn't going to toot my own horn here, but since you asked, I did write a drabble in honor of your birthday:

I'm so, so, so, so sorry I missed that!! (So glad I quick popped online for a minute to haul off some stuff so I can work offline.) I thought I had gone far enough back on my friends page. :(

There are absolutely no hard feelings, although I did have a few moments of feeling inadequate.

I just don't know how I ever missed it!

HEEE! Yes, I'm sure that there's *someone* in Africa walking an anteater as we speak. *g*

But SQUEEE over having what sounds like an absolutely fantastic b-day picnic! And I'll keep my fingers and toes and legs and arms and even eyes crossed that you'll hear good things about that job. :)

Friend just returned from Africa. I shall ask her about the anteater on a leash question. I'm sure she'll be able to settle it....

Glad you had a good birthday! Whee! And am still keeping my fingers crossed about job. They may surprise you yet.

It was a great birthday! Thanks!

Now I have until Tuesday to freak out some more about the job! :D

Will continue to cross my fingers for you on that possible job. Glad you had a fun anteater-y birthday.

Thanks on the job front! Looks like I'm still in the running for now. :)

And it was a *great* anteater-y birthday!

*smooches* Dammit, this is what I miss from not being online. :(

Happy belated birthday, and I'm glad you had fun. Crossing fingers Jonas-style for the job! :)

Aww. No - you're not allowed to be offline ever!

Thanks for everything! *smoooch*

Good lucks again. :D

Promise to keep an eye out when I get there.
