But hey, happy birthday! You get a miniature TARDIS with flashing lights and sound effects! It's remote-controlled, but all you can make it do is vanish and reappear in different places.
Many happy returns!
And getting older today.
I swear I don't feel 33. How did I get this old?!
I, think i k now how you feel. I am only eighteen and I have stiff joints. Is that normal?
By the way, I don't know if this is the best place to ask, but I have a question about the Department of Operations.
I notice that there is no Newspaper or anything similar in the PPC. Would that job be taken by archivists? If not, would the newspaper, or whatever, fall under the Department of Operations?
We try to tack questions onto related threads.
PPC HQ's newspaper/news magazine is the Multiverse Monitor. To my knowledge, it's never been under the Department of Operations.

My bad, then.
Okay, I'll do the necessary research. Thank you for pointing me in that direction.
Agh! Typo. That's embarrassing.
As a birthday gift, have this cup of Lapsang Souchong tea. Just don't let the leaves eat you, they don't mind if you're old. Or young. Or in-between.
CAKE FOR EVERYONE!
Three is a lucky number for some, and you've got two of them today.
I hope you had a lucky birthday!
I will be 31 in a few weeks, but I still feel 19. :)
Though for me "I am growing up" moment was when I realized that my dreams started to become realistic and achievable. :)
Or, more accurately, should I know you? I don't recognize your username. (But then again, I'm relatively new, so for all I know you're a returning oldbie. Hi anyway ^_^)
As in shortly after the PPC was created. Can't remember the year exactly, but since I didn't write any of the missions and kept my msts on my own website, limited popularity. :)
... that pretty much describes Hellga, too. Assuming she's the same Hellga.

Just hard to find time for the boards... :) But with the Hobbit movies out (and rather uncanon themselves) Tolkien fandom is teeming with badfic so I can't help but keep reminiscing about the PPC. :)
I can't remember when I joined the PPC, but it was either 2002 or 2003.

*showers with cake and cookies*
you're just getting on in years. Old is a state of mind, not a number!
But enough Serious Business; off to the presents. In lieu of the usual Delibird, have a Present. I made sure that this one was of the non-explosive variety.
*You open the Present. A wave of healing energy washes over you, filling you with renewed vigor.*
I don't recall meeting you, so your present--a replica of Link's iconic hat--doubles as a "Hi, nice to meet you!" gift! Hope you like Legend of Zelda!
The only Zelda games that I don't own are the ones on the DS, cause I don't own a DS..... yet.
That liking it enough for you? :3
Nice to see I'm not the only adult on this board. Anyway, you'll never be old as long as you have a portrait in your attic or a ring in your possession...
And don’t feel old. Six years ago, I was twice the age you were then. (Now somebody may want to do the maths.) As long as we can still become angry about bad fiction, we aren’t (un)dead yet.

Wait a second...you're 60?! Are you sure that you did your calculations correctly?
I didn't know we allowed the undead on this Board (which you must be, since you're so old, and also I can't actually say that without pointing out that Undeadgoat, PureDeadThingy, and Pippa's Ghost have all been members, so yeah, that was a wildly incorrect statement).
Er... where was I? Oh, yes: blue elf is old(er than me). Happy birthday!
hS
...and I barely feel like it, so I'm right there with you. Heck, I think I was, what, eighteen or so when I joined the PPC? Somewhere around 2008, anyways. It doesn't feel that long.
Also, happy birthday!
