To everyone who wished me Happy Birthday last week THANK YOU so very much!

(and thanks to LJ's lousy non-existent notification system I am still discovering birthday presents and wishes.)  If I've missed saying thank you please forgive me, I'm working on catching up.  I've worked more hours at work this month and been well nigh exhausted, which also explains my lack of posts.

Two gifts in particular I wanted to show off to everyone:

[livejournal.com profile] spikesredqueen asked me the other day what I'd like for my birthday and my eloquent response was along the lines of "um, I don't know" - so knowing my love of the buffyverse ladies, she made me this beautiful Buffy/Faith/Willow banner! (Try making a smushname out of that.) Isn't it sexy and ethereal, elegant and scrumptious?   It makes me wish I were a fic writer because it feels like the inspiration for a post-series 'verse, a Witch and two Slayers, powerful, strong-willed women saving the world and having incredible adventures.

Speaking of sexy, ethereal and elegant:

[livejournal.com profile] teragramm made this incredible addition to my Winged Buffy collection. Once again I'm awe of how skillfull the artistry is here, how delicate and how beautifully these two banners belong together.  Teragramm's choice of text very much evokes memories of Buffy throughout the seasons for me, an "ordinary" girl who is really quite extraordinary in ways she herself can't begin to see; an Everywoman who takes on the weight of the world time and again.

One avatar.

OMFG its been YEARS since I saw anyone refer to them as avatars (myself included). When did the commonly accepted term become "icons"?

I assume you're using that wonderful Spock icon on purpose? I just heard about Nimoy's passing.

(That scene in one of the movies, I forget which one, where they rescue him - I have been and always will be your friend - just tears, man, crying here, you know?)

Yes, am so sad. Spock is one of my favourite characters ever.

Kirk's words in Wrath of Khan: Of my friend, I can only say this - of all the souls I have encountered in my travels, his was the most... human.

Plus Nimoy was a sincerely cool person.
