Thank you, everyone. I know I've been hiding for a long time, so thank you for not forgetting about me.

I haven't had anything even resembling a birthday party in years. This is the closest I've gotten. I talked to so many people today, and I know it wasn't a real "party", but it was much better than most birthdays I've had. I got all kinds of attention, and birthday wishes, and love... It made me feel really great, on a day that's never meant much to me.

So again... Thank you. Really. <3
