Today is a special day.
A few months ago, around the time of the infamous not a narcissist challenge, I noticed GingerSnaap, shining among the narcissistic rocks like a diamond. Later I attempted to conspire against a couple other bloggers. This attempt failed…miserably…pathetically…but GingerSnaap was the fellow conspirator who emailed (the smart way, when one of the people you are conspiring against is a freak who follows comment threads like they are dropping golden eggs or something) me.
As I started grooming all of you for my “I am a hoarder” April Fool’s Day prank, GingerSnaap was the friend who was concerned enough to give me her personal information including real name and cell phone number and beg me to call if I needed to talk. I had to let her in on the prank at that point, and she helped me see it through to April 1st at the risk of betraying the confidence of all of you who poured you love and hearts out to me.
When another friend was hurting, GingerSnaap cried out for help for the sake of someone who until that night, I hadn’t met, and someone who I consider a dear friend now.
When my real life collided with the blog world in a painful crash, I broke the unspoken code of blogging and used her number, talking to her about the situation. I knew she would understand, and love, and not judge me.
She is an absolutely amazing person far beyond just her blogging abilities. Happy birthday GingerSnaap. The world is a more beautiful place because you are in it.
Can’t say enough nice things about her.
Happy birthday, GS!
Me neither. She is just that awesome.
I didn’t know she was cool to other people. All I have to go on is the abuse she perpetrates on me.
Ha! you deserve every bit of that abuse!
WHAT?!?!?! do not.
Maybe you are right Hotspur. You are always so nice to everyone…calling them whores and sluts and all…
I can not think of a better target for it.
Poor Hotspur…Ginger, could you break out the bagpipes, I’ll grab my violin…
Bagpipes? How about the bitchpipes 😉
You made me laugh out loud for real. I always have to tell people that because I fake lol all the time.
I think he is jealous… wants to know why he doesn;t get this much love..ever..
😛
True Lizzie, although we did bring him almost 600 comments on one post.
Oh.My.Gawd!! I am rendered speechless (not really) by all of this LOVE today!
Hobbs- You are awesome and I couldn’t ask for a better friend- I am better for knowing you and I appreciate your honesty and candid humor! I very much enjoy abusing fellow bloggers with you ;o)
And our late nite texting/ therapy sessions keep me going for another day!
Much love to YOU and Thank You for your kind words that I do not deserve!
From one shiny sister to another- MUAH!
Ginger, if anyone deserves kind words, it is you. You are a lifeline for way more people than just me. I love you girl!
ginger snaps good with tea warm and cheers you up im sure you mean shes an all round comfort lol have fun xjen
Thanks! She really is one of the coolest people I know.
and here I thought I was the shiniest person you knew… (And secretly, the most narcissistic. But don’t tell anybody that) it’s good to see the world didn’t fall apart while I took a break from the blogosphere 🙂
Lol, not narcissistic at all…I cried the whole time I wasn’t writing love poetry to my readers, taking over friend’s blogs, doing trifecta and trifextra challenges, writing about my favorite type of porn, etc. Crying my eyes out… 😉
and it’s good to see your witticisms are just as wit-tastic as ever
Thank you Sage. I do my best.
Wonderful Birthday tribute to our dear friend … ANd yes you DO deserve every damn word Ginger!!! and more. 🙂
Ginger is awesome!
yup..and you are too 🙂
You are too Lizzie! The three of us are awesome cubed!
the Cracked the Evil and the Shiny… UNStoppable
yup..and you are too 🙂
Ok you two, how much dinero do I owe you for all of the compliments??
My big ego has been over inflated today- tomorrow might be ugly when I come down off of this high y’all put me on!
Thanks to all of you for the well wishes! I am blessed beyond words by you fine people!
are you wearing your tiara? then you can have a big ego…and we will still be here tomorrow when you come down off the high… but you can stay up too… we will always think you are the shiniest person EVer… its not just cause its your bday…. 🙂
I am the lucky one! You two make me wish I was a lesbian! 😉
Best comment ever: ‘you two make me wish I was a lesbian’.
Snort.Out.Loud.
I don’t mean to brag but, I have had that effect on other women before…
If things ever go bad for Hubby & me, I will keep you in mind Hobbs. How do you feel about ‘strap on’ devices?
lol – is that the darkside? or the light?
I love you girls, and Lizzie is right. All this stuff isn’t just because of your birthday, today just gives us a good excuse to talk about it.
exactly…
Well, I haven’t tried strap-on’s since I’m not a lesbian yet, but they are sounding better by the moment. 😉
SOL!!! wooohooo!
It can be whichever side you want it to be.
Alright, so our back up plan in case of an emergency is Cracked, shiny, evil strap on’s right?
sounds good to me …yup 😉
Fun times ahead!
yay! fun fun fun!
Love the celebrations, love Stevie Wonder, feel left out of the club. That’s OK, it’s not the first time all my friends have gone off leaving me behind to babysit their younger siblings, etc. (sob) I’ll live, don’t worry at all about me . . .
Thanks, and dont feel bad. You and several others are really close friends too. Ginger, Lizzie and I have just been through some interesting times together when it was just the three of us. We are just teasing anyway. I wish I was a lesbian for you too!
Thanks, Hobbles (sniff,sniff), that makes me feel better.
You’re welcome. 🙂
You’re up late again – sleepless night?
Yeah…I’m going to try to sleep soon. I’m getting a little headache. How about you?
Not just shiny, but soothing on the tummy, too! Happy hatching day, GS! 😀
Lol. She is wonderful!
