It's my birthday, and I'll cry if I want to...

[babylonsister]

It really is, and I just want to be totally flamboyant, as is my wont/want/??, to thank DU for being here for me during a time when I needed/need friends.

I'm 54 today.

Oh, and I saw Avatar 3D! :thumbsup:

6. Happy Birthday honey!

I am sorry you have had a rough time. I can certainly relate. If you ever feel like going out for happy hour or a movie or something, holler at me!

(((((((HUGS))))))))

The next 3D movie I want to see is Alice in Wonderland with Johnny Depp! I loved Avatar for the experience f it, regardless of what anyone says about the story not being very original. It was FUN, and exciting, and that is enough reason to go to a movie! :-)

[babylonsister]

14. Ah, Lisa, come visit!

I moved to Georgia. Talk about a reaction!

And Alice looks great!

66. Apartment, and it's temp. But thank you. Do you

know any single men around my age who aren't rethugs in this part of town? :D Why do I think this isn't so doable in GA?

And thank you for your previous words of support. I want to hear you're wearing short sleeves in Feb!

[aikoaiko]

79. Short-sleeves are out in force.

Although I must admit that cold spell we had in January was awful. I actually had to wear a windbreaker.

I'll keep an eye out for single men about your age or younger (!). Hopefully you are able to spend your free time sipping lattes or tea at the Sentient Bean. The Music Festival will be happening soon. http://www.savannahmusicfestival.org/ Those events are nice places to meet like minded people. Most of the events are pricey, but some are between 10-15 dollars and some are free. The colleges (Armstrong Atlantic State Univ, Savannah State, and SCAD) often have free or low priced events. More places to meet left of center folks.

Oh, and its not inappropriate to start preparing for St. Patrick's Day. Its a fun day in Savannah.

So I guess you are enjoying your b-day! Now time for a good meal?

I don't know if it is available on DVD yet, but 'The Men Who Stare at Goats' will give you big laughs and you get to look at George Clooney!!!

I also saw Avatar 3D and cried. If there was a God she would damn the bastards that think they can kill indignant peoples because they are defined as non-humans. I think it speaks tons that the two biggest movies this year include one that supports nature and people living in harmony with nature and the other movie glorifies/justifies war. We must reduce our "defense" budget and save the starving children right here in fucking river city. Excuse my fucking french.
