A Wonderful Birthday. Thank you everyone!

Merc's FA Journal:
Wow, Just Wow!
So far, building up over the holiday weekend, this has been the best birthday I have had in years. My family has gone far out of their way to make damn sure that I'm happy. My friends have been there for me and, despite the usual upsets of life, all genuinely wish me the best and love my company.
The person of whom I have fallen for romantically since July has become one of the best friends I could ask for, despite the rocky situation our disconnected relationship stands on currently. There's a lot of story there and I'm sure things will work out somehow in the end. Even if that is a "Take over the world" friendship and business partnership. XD
She posted an awesome art gift for my birthday, of which I have shared in my gallery, and a wonderfully worded and kind journal. Please read it and give her my thanks here:

To Eric and Tanya, my foxxy family. Than you for being there for me and including me so deeply in your lives. I am grateful to you and happy to be part of your family. I'll start using my real-estate training to look for houses soon. XD I'm looking forward to the future with you two.
To Dingra, things will work out and just remember that life is great and your big kitty will be there if you need protection and support. I hope you find what you want out of life and you are able to be with your mate someday soon.
To Ark, I hope you heal up well and continue finding what it s you want out of life. The school situation may look bad now, but you'll find a way. Just want to also say you are one heck of a devious and cuddly feline.
To Sara, I hope you get better soon and I look forward to hanging out and relaxing with you, Kia, and Little bit sometime soon. If I can, I'll get away today and visit to take care of you before my evening class. Keep looking up and pushing because life gets better. Thank you for being the one person I think can understand as well as you do. In such a short time you have become a wonderful friend.
To Mikey, the wonderful furhag. XD I'm glad I've gotten to know you and look forward to a lot more talking about life. You've affected my life in unique ways and given me perspective on life I had been shaky on accepting. You just need to move up to Raleigh already! and about that internet...
To Kiki, I hope you find everything you want in Zero as a mate, and remember to work on yourself and work hard to be the strong and amazing person I know you will be in the future. Always remember compassion and understanding, along with a little hard love, make a world of difference in a relationship. Thank you for being my friend and talking with so consistently!
... wow I've got a lot of people to thank X3
To James, thank you for opening up to me and relating to me so well. I'm sure that you and I are going to become awesome friends given half a chance. Feel free to chat me up and just talk about things going on in your life, I may surprise you with how much I can relate. ... If you ever want to know what was so awesome about that drunken conversation, just ask! X3
To Coren, you devious and dangerous feline. God, you and me together are actually going to end the world someday with our mad schemes and devices. You sir are dangerous and awesome with building the wildest of things. I'm glad to have met you and to be able to call you my friend.
To my GM and the fun little RP group on Thursday afternoons, thank you for providing a much needed escape from reality. You are wonderful people and I look forward to every Thursday now.
To Ruko, Marbles, Kofu, Heidi, Casey, Red, Leo (and fam), ManedCorgi, Rose, and all the multitude of other wonderful furries in the Triangle and across NC, thank you for making me feel so welcomed and a part of something so big! I'm looking forward eagerly to the meets in the future, the parties that inevitably follow, and getting to know you better!
To my personal friends:
To Hurley, Thank you for being such an integral part of my life. Your candor and view on life, though you may feel it is lacking, is a wonderful thing to have and share. Believe me that life will get better and that you will find someone to share it with. You are to awesome of a person to have things go any differently. I'll be there for you whether you need me or not.
To Flippy, Wow... what to say. Thank you for being one of the best friends I've ever had. From middleschool, through scouts, and being a stable force in my life. Even when the armed forces fucked you over and you dealt with so much, you were still one of the most amazingly stable persons I know. I think I learned a lot of that from you. Thank you for providing me that special dry riveraized humor that makes the entire world into one big pun.
To Joey, Sherry, and Amber. You three have brought me into your family and shared so much with me. You have really made me feel belonged and loved, something that I do not take lightly. I hope I can make you all proud and continue to be a part of your lives.
To Ezra/Charlie, my once feline brother, thank you for being the closest thing I've had to a brother during a rough time in my life. I haven't had a chance to be close to you over the last few years, but I hope we can reconnect. I hope you are doing well.
To Jack, Halo, Zen, Rico, Umbra, Spinal Tap (happy birthday to you too, by the way), Heidi, Fluke, the members of SG-12, Xtreme Kombat, the old members of The FireWolves, T.E.A.M, TAG, and to the rest of the wonderful airsofters in NC and that I played with at OP IRENE. Thank you for being a driving force in my view of the world. All those times we played honorably, parlayed, laughed about a kill, and told each other stories over the ammo cans or a camp fire. Thank you for showing me what honor and courage means in armed services and protecting those you care about, even if the people you protect have no idea who you are.
To my family, both close and afar, thank you for being understanding, supportive, and loving. I have never experienced a cross word or condemnation from you and that has given me the support I have needed to work hard at making my life as positive as it is. And let me assure you, my life is insanely positive and happy on my best days. My worst days I am still able to find the silver lining and to weave that into something to be thankful for.
In many ways in my life, I stand on a proverbial cliff both in my life situation and emotionally. In a lot of ways this is dangerous and a problem... but thanks to everyone in my life I am able to stand steady and enjoy the wonderful wind, sunlight, and feeling of being on top of the world.
Thank you to everyone in my inner circle. haha, there are a lot of you and I need to get hats made. XD
Thank you to everyone who called me their friend. It means a lot to me and I will be there if you need something.
Thank you to everyone who has shown me kindness and understanding, or a simple warm and affectionate greeting when you did not know me.
Thank you to those of whom I have and still do love. You have been a major part in helping me become the person I am today and I thank you for all of the time and care you have given me. I can only hope I have been such a force in your life as well.
Cheers and thank you for each day being the best day of my life, everyone.

I will be moving up to Raleigh, so do not worry! And I'll be at Furmeets! :D Sara won't let me stay away for long before she'll come down to Wilmington and kidnap me. xD
Happy belated birthday to you and hope you had a great Thanksgiving break *hugs*
