 Well, it's finally here, though I missed your exact time of birth by a few hours, I think this is close enough. :P

 While it's true we haven't seen much of you around the forums as of late, the members of the forum haven't forgotten you, I'm sure.

 So, have a happy birthday, Sapph.

Woah, Black Mage just wished someone a happy birthday.  Either it's a miracle, or I'm thinking about someone else.

Well, Happy Birthday, Sapphira, you are a year older today.  Kinda weird, huh?  How are you a whole year older on one day?  Technicnally, you were 17 years and 364 days old yesterday, you're really only one day older.  Well, I guess that means... Happy Birthday, Sapphira, you are one day older today.

(EDIT: Haha, Red, it was a typo, I fixed it, and now my post has unecessary information that only shows that I meant what I edited.  And in the threat of making this parenthetical comment too important, I will end it now.)

Everything is as smooth as sandpaper pajamas.

Let's review, Markio:
365 days = 1 year
355 days = 11 months and 21 days
4 pecks = 1 bushel
1,000,000 phones = 1 megaphone

Yay, 18 years old!

Happy birthday to Sapph. ^_^

(Would 1,024 megaphones be a gigaphone?)

"Giga" comes from the Latin gigas meaning "giant". It's generally accepted value is 1 000 000 000 which is called a "Standard billion" in preference to the "English Billion which is only one hunderd million. So, a gigaphone would be a billion phones.

"Mega" means 1 000 000 which comes from the Greek mega meaning "great", as in Alexandros Megos (Alexander the Great).

So, 1 000 megaphones (1 000 x 1 000 000) would equal 1 000 000 000 phone or 1 gigaphone.


Note, I used spaces to separate the zeros because many countries outside the US use commas where we use decimals.  That is, in most European countries 1,000 means one point zero zero zero while in the US it means one thousand.

Also, the US is the only country in the world that still uses the "English" system (feet, ounces, etc.) exclusively.  Even the English are changing to the metric system which is far easier.

Oh, and Happy B-day Sapph!

Hmm.
Red stole my hunny pot inscription.

Well, happy birthday, Sapph, even though you're not reading this yet.
That was a joke.

Nope, sorry Deezer.  Myabe if you explained it all to us then we would laugh.  Anyway, I think since Sapphira might not see this right away we should all send her a bunch of birthday emails!  She'd be so surprised.  By the way, Deezer, when is your birthday? (don't feel like looking for dates right now)

(I got it, but prefer to count my megaphones in base-10 and leave the base-2 to bytes.)

Woo, happy birthday...

My life went great to down the friggin' crapper all in the same night.

Thanks.


Gray, the color of her eyes as if menacing clouds hang overhead
When anger strikes the goodness of her heart slate gray pierces you with a sudden chill making you give in to those beautiful eyes
But when she`s happy her eyes brighten as if the Sun shines through the opaqueness of the threatening clouds; you can`t help but smile

I want you... Only you
Formerly quite reasonable.

Erm, ok?



Happy birthday! I'ma go whip up a birthday pic in MS Paint in about 5 seconds or so. Be right back.





Hey! I found an old birthday picture I used from a while back! One too many candles, though...



(I hope you aren't offended by the odd humor/irony this picture contains...
