Let's have a party

It's half past three in the morning local time, so technically it's my birthday, but it never feels like one until I wake up. Erev birthday. Normally I measure my age by fictional characters, but the only thirty-six-year-old character currently occurring to me is Dean Priest in L. M. Montgomery's Emily of New Moon (1923) and while it's true I imprinted on him in fifth grade, it's also true that he is kind of a massive creep. I did learn Latin and Greek, and I have been to Rome (though not Athens), and it is almost true that I care for nothing save books nor ever have; I can't estimate my own cynicism, but my physical health is pretty crap. I think I will fall back on some general idea of tzaddiks until I think of someone better. I don't ruin other people's art when they love it better than me.

Happy birthday! All I can offer you as pertaining to 36 is music by an artist of that name.

But then if you have the righteous alongside you probably don't need much else! :)

This.

(I am also tempted to link to the "In da club/Land Down Under" crossover video that is my default birthday music, but I don't know if that'd be your thing. Aw, heck, here it is anyway. https://vimeo.com/14768674 )

I wasn't considered bright enough for Latin or Greek which is probably why at the last count I had six lots of letters after my name and speak three languages.....

I love Rome- hope the be back again in January!

Happy Birthday!

Loving books and studying Latin and Greek are good things. Crap health is something no one chooses. You're **definitely** not a creep!

Happy birthday! I can't think of fictional characters either, but having just finished an Aphra Behn biography, I can tell you that you are the same age that she was when she came back to London after falling off the map for three years and started gaining theatrical success.

Very happy birthday! 36 is square! It's also a triangular number (triangle and square has gotta mean something to the numerologists right?) and a semi-perfect number.

(Thirty-seven is a rough one for fictional characters: that's the age of Humbert Humbert when he met Dolores Haze.)
