Despite the many rings around your name

I am twenty-seven.

My presents from my parents are Who Killed Amanda Palmer and Sarah Ruden's new Aeneid, a T-shirt with a lion from the Ishtar Gate.

eredien wrote me a poem.

It's gorgeous outside.

My sonnet "Letters for Nereis" has been accepted by Goblin Fruit. This birthday is awesome.

Do your parents tell you that the weather is often beautiful at this time of year--that although the leaves are turning and there have been frosty mornings, at just the days surrounding your birth, there's a break in the chill, so you have the golden and crimson colors of fall, but the warm, soft days of late August--Indian summer. Do they tell you this as if it's nature's special gift to you, as if it, somehow, is in honor of you?

My parents do, still :-) (My birthday's not for another few days) I think it would be appropriate if yours did, too.

No, because I have always liked the cold turning of this time of year, but I think it is lovely that yours do!

What is this, autumn birthday central? Happy impending and thank you!
