Happy birthday
some words of wisdom
Ungur var eg foršum
fór eg einn saman
žį varš villur vega;
aušigur žóttumk,
er eg annan fann,
mašur er manns gaman
I hope death is joyful, and I hope I'll never return -Frida Khalo
If I seem insensitive to what you are going through, understand it's the way I am- Mr. Spock
Personally, I think that the unique and supreme delight lies in the certainty of doing 'evil'and men and women know from birth that all pleasure lies in evil. - Baudelaire
Happy birthday!
One has to laugh before being happy, because otherwise one risks to die before having laughed.
"Je crains [...] que l'āme ne se vide ą ces passe-temps vains, et que le fin du fin ne soit la fin des fins." (Edmond Rostand, Cyrano de Bergerac, Acte III, Scčne VII)
Yes, absolutely! I trust you downed a few horns of mead in celebration

Thank you very much, everyone!
Not only did I have a nice day, giving myself a rare afternoon off work, but in a wonderful bit of coincidence the official paperwork reporting on the result of my PhD came through - meaning that on my birthday, I officially became Dr Loka! It's been about three years since my students started calling me that anyway, but at least now they'll be accurate...
I know I've been a bit absent from the forum in recent months, and I hope soon to return to being more active. My department has given me an enourmous load of teaching this year, a great deal of it on texts from outside my niche area - absolutely wonderful to work with, but involving a huge amount of preparation and research. That, combined with finishing up the thesis, has made for a very busy Loka indeed...
"I should only believe in a God that would know how to dance. And when I saw my devil, I found him serious, thorough, profound, solemn: he was the spirit of gravity- through him all things fall. Not by wrath, but by laughter, do we slay. Come, let us slay the spirit of gravity!" - Nietzsche
Happy Belated birthday, and congratulations on your PhD!
Happy birthday Lokasenna! Glad to hear you had a wonderful day.
And thank you, for being a scholar and a gentleman.

we have come to this: the crisis of our lives'
Wow, as birthday presents go, a PhD is going to be hard to top. Congratulations!

Whoo-hoo!
There's a doctor in the house.
Congrat's Loka, and hap-hap-happy birfday!

Happy Birthday Lokasenna!!
Her heart is played like well worn strings; in her eyes the sadness sings; of one who was destined for better things.
Happy Birthday Dr. Lokasenna! Time for a party! Hope it was a truly frabjious day.
