Fair Kate,
My birthday wishes may lack visual aid (i.e. pictures of OUR matching tattoos, which I figured you wouldn't want me to include since I'm not sure who else knows about them), or a clever song/poem (I don't have the same crazy skill that the second floor girls of Fitzhugh displayed in their cover of "Your body is a wonderland") so I will make up for these shortcomings with sheer enthusiasm! I will display said enthusiasm for your birthday, and more specifically for your overwhelming awesomeness with egregious use of exclamation points! Yeah! You are great! Whoo hoo!
Since this is likely the 6.7 billionth post you've read for your birthday (If you are interested in how I arrived at this figure, I'll let you know. It's surprisingly complicated! I took the % of people I have ever met who love you and would be willing to do whatever they could to post something for your birthday (100%! That's a high percentage! (I'm using parenthesis within parenthesis within parenthesis! This is a special post! Did I mention you are great!)), then I applied that % (100%! Remember! That's a great approval rating!) to the population of the earth (estimated at 6.7 Billion according to my good friends at Wikipedia)! I was thinking of factoring in some variables which could have reduced the figure (I don't have electricity, I live in a mountain 6,000 miles from the nearest computer, I've never met Kate Meehan, etc.), but I do not believe any of these scenarios would have been serious enough to keep somebody from making their way to a computer to wish you a happy birthday. Thus, the figure stands at 6.7 billion!))) ... where was I? Oh yeah, you've just read 6.7 billion posts so I'll keep my message to you short and sweet...
I miss you terribly and am jealous of the good people of Bangladesh for getting to be around you. I consider myself fortunate to call you a friend, and wish you have a wonderful time for your birthday and every day beyond :).
All the best,
Eric
