Happy birthday to all of the above.

 

[Iceman]

Mine?

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LEE!!!!!!!

t:

 

[LEX]

You're highly enthusiastic today, lad. Not smoking hippy pots again, I hope...

 

[Iceman]

Unfortunately so.

btw Amir has a b'day thread.

 

[LEX]

Alas, I am also highly enthusiastic today... without the assistance of the hippy pots... because as I was digging through my old bedroom, which is now my mom's bedroom, for a taped video cassette of a concert that I can't seem to find anywhere else and still can't now, I stumbled across a brand new box of a Discman with teh em pee three, omg. I found two boxes of the same product, actually, but the other one was empty and I couldn't be bothered to find out why. So, naturally, I gently opened it and unwrapped everything. It worked like a newly bought product would work... meaning it worked fantastically. Now I regretted unwrapping the pair of rechargeable batteries because the wrapping plastic was freaking specially made, but I had nil problem rewrapping the earbuds and everything else. It's far from what I want for the upcoming gift-giving season, but I don't hate it either. Plus, I got shared immunity in the Survivor game, so hooray. I am drunk with ecstatic.

 

[squeekness]

I haven't stumbled across a hidden Christmas present in a long time.

 

[LEX]

I'm not even sure if it is for me. She probably is saving it for someone else from work, so I should keep low expectations.

... how're you doing?

 

[squeekness]

Good. I've been working more hours and haven't been on as much. I have the next four days off and hope to relax. I started playing Specter's new game. Maybe I can get Gambit to last the week....

 

[LEX]

I hadn't realized he started a new round, so thanks alot.

 

[squeekness]

Please don't kill off Gambit right away.

 

[LEX]

If you and your comrades won't vote against Frost, then I won't.

 

[squeekness]

I can't speak for anyone else, but I promise to leave her alone until the game winds down.
