Hello all and a big welcome to this year's celebration of our Main Man's birthday. 2 hours to go till official thread opening! and I am running around the sofa like a mad thing trying to make sure everything is right.
I'm stringing test tubes full of coloured phosphorescent stuff all round the walls and wrapping a huge pile of virtual presents in the corner (I'm afraid none of these packages contain TJ. He's off to Vegas). You can hardly see the floor for balloon animals. Food and drink are out in the kitchen area - all your favourites - and I'm setting up the karaoke as we speak. Anyone want particular music, just bring it along. And plenty of smilies cos we are all going to be smiley!!
I trust no-one has forgotten fancy dress is de rigueur this year? Come ready to describe your outfit - and it can be as fancy as you like - the silly string and champagne will not affect it because it's Not Real! Personally I have come as a dragonfly to celebrate the Hodgins love of bugs. Look at my huge eyes and beautiful coloured wings. I glitter and I'm elegant. What more could any entomologist desire?
See you later and at intervals during the next 36 hours or so.

HELLO TJ world!
And happy birthday (slightly early) to the man himself! Well guys I am heading for the pressie pile. Here is a lovely stripy parcel labelled for me. What is it, now? Ooh! It's an iPhone. Wonderful. Thanks all! I love messing with tech I don't 100% understand. Oh, and a little Premier League championship for Liverpool to go with it. I'm going to enjoy this.
Grabbing some smoked salmon and putting the Beach Boys on. Come on in folks!

I'm here! Not exactly dressed for a party but I'm trying to study and thought I'd pop by for a short while. I think I'll sneak over and have a taste of the cake!

Sorry, can't stay. Gotta go to bed, soon! It's late. I am in my PJ's by the way! Oh, and there's my present. Oh, an iphone, too! Great!
Will be back tomorrow at around the same time. Maybe one or two hours earlier. And then I'll stay a bit. Need to pick up my costume, too. I'm gonna be a spider! - Or SPIDERWOMAN! Sorry, it's late, and I am a bit sappy. Try not to think about the fact, that I need to go to work again, tomorrow. This is a good distraction!
So, see you tomorrow!

Angela: Well, what about love? What do you have to say about love?
Hodgins: It´s overrated-most of the time Dexter: They make it look so easy-connecting with another human being. It's like no one told them it's the hardest thing in the world.
I love birthdays, and I love when I can wish others a happy one. Especially really cool dudes like TJ.
Sorry this note is so short, but my eyes are starting to bug out from grading so so so many math exams. I would gladly pass on more grading to attend a TJ birthday extravaganza--in Vegas or wherever!
Peace and hugs,
Liz
P.S. I love the birthday pic of TJ with the bones! Awesome!
I've been rummaging through my cupboards trying to work out a costume. Im sure if I asked Pud (boy i nanny.. in case ppl are confused) he would suggest I go as Buzz Lightyear.. or a Ninja Turtle.
Im sure I have some green paint around here somewhere.
oh yes
*lathers face in green paint*
Pud would be very proud.
*looking around the place* love what you've done, Steph.. looks amazing. Love the balloons and the silly strings Going to put my own touch.. *scattering confetting all over the room* even some over sleeping Angela... Why do I get the urge to play with a watermelon and explowsives..
Uhhh pressies, me want one.. wonder what it is yeah, a championship for Liverpool and a new computer, couldn't be more gratefull
Could use a drink to cope with all of this excitement.. better be carefull not to spill all over my new dress.. finally managed to fit my black dress I wore to my parent's silver jubilee 11 years ago.. soo happy (thank got it's a virtual party) mmmm rom/coke.. and look, there's a sinfully chocolate cake.. gonna have some.. wonder if Cally is going to bring her cake she spoke of earlier..
Karaoke, not gonna happen especially when I'm still sober should I begin to sing.. then cover your ears, ladies.. bad bad singing voice..
Heading out for a bit.. hopefully return later to celebrate our favorite guy's 36th Birthday..
Wow Sharon that is early for you, applaud you! I agree, what we wouldnt' do for him
THe place still looks the same when I left.. or am I mistaken HOwever I return with a traditionally birthday cake (think I did it also last year).. this time topped with all of TJ's favorite fruits, whatever they may be
*Checks out the music to find out what I should sing....

I'm actually really dancing around here to Nelly's "Just a dream", because I will use the song in class with the kids and need to rehearse the moves they will learn along with the Vocabulary. (her, me, back, road, dream....).
Oh and I bring "Berliner" that's something we eat over here for our crazy Karneval activities in Germany. Really, it's nuts here. One big fat party with really silly looking people.

HODGINS: Well, hello, my exotic princess.
CAM: What a charmingly inappropriate greeting, Dr. Hodgins.
*scattering confetting all over the room* even some over sleeping Angela...
*sneezes and rubs eyes* What the...? And why didn't you all wake me up when TJ dropped by?
So who wants to watch The Princess Bride?? I'll try not to recite it while watching.

I have to admit I've never seen the Princess Bride. That movie is totally unknown over here. I actually bought the DVd, watched like 5 mins and then was like "Jeez....." and ended it .... Now I go to my corner and sit there ashamed

Lurvv the outfits, people, and lovely to see you all. Champagne anyone? Oops sorry didn't mean to spill any.
Sharon, if we're going to do Les Mis can it at least be something up tempo?
Do you hear the people sing, it is the song of angry men......
