"Happy Birthday, Rebecca Schoenberg!"
|
And I hear the cries of, "Who the **** is Rebecca Schoenberg?!" She's a person who I only know of by Usenet postings. She's a veterinarian. She's one of those Wonderful People Whose Birthday Should Not Be Forgotten By Anybody Who Matters. But somehow or another, it happens to her. Repeatedly. And December 15 is her birthday. In my infinite insanity, I have decided that I will make note of her birthday. Every year. Anywhere that I think I can get away with it. (If this thread is locked by Tuesday, then I didn't get away with it.) If I do this, maybe the people who matter to her will remember her birthday as well. And yes, I am weird. Like you needed further proof. Peter Eng Peter Eng -- Insert humorous comment here. |

(The bet was, "given that gweep.net appears to have a fairly large population of users, I will order a pizza if neither Gryphon nor MZ know Banshee." Oh, well.) Now I just have to figure out why she still claims that people forget her birthday. Peter Eng Peter Eng -- Insert humorous comment here. |

LAST EDITED ON Dec-16-01 AT 03:21 AM (EST) >(The bet was, "given that gweep.net appears to have a fairly large >population of users, I will order a pizza if neither Gryphon nor MZ >know Banshee." Oh, well.) All things considered, I'm under the impression that any random gweep.net user probably knows any other random gweep.net user to at least say hi to :). So I'd call the whole thing off and order a pizza anyway ^_^. -- Sean -- ...for the record, speaking both from personal experience and observation, I don't think there's any way to have a birthday between about 12/10 and 12/30 and not have it suck in some way...

>All things considered, I'm under the impression that any random >gweep.net user probably knows any other random gweep.net user to at >least say hi to :). for the most part, true. there are a few whom I haven't met IRL, some I've only chatted with online, and a whole lot of friends or friends of friends. Gweep circles overlap with the local theatre circles, LARP circles, Networking circles, and computer geek cicles. Rebecca I met during a LARP running at WPI and have seen a few more times since then. > So I'd call the whole thing off and order a pizza >anyway ^_^. Pineapple, onions, and green peppers.

At this rate, I'm not ordering pizzas for the next month. :) Add another day - Becky's the guy who lives next door to me, and I met her through him and his housemates, not through Gweepco. ;) -- Juniper (I am -really- bored tonight. But I am also unsociable. This is a lousy combination.)
