I love how we both fingered Bee was the one who would repost this.

[deep-red-bells.livejournal.com]

Hmph.

[deep-red-bells.livejournal.com]

Why Easter?

[whattingawhat.livejournal.com]

Solid chocolate bunnies.

Plus Thanksgiving, Christmas, Valentines Day and my birthday make me emo.

[deep-red-bells.livejournal.com]

Wow. All of them? That sucks.

[whattingawhat.livejournal.com]

Halloween too. I just read yours and thought of it.

Eh hazard of the ex-boyfriends I've had? Easter is good though. No one has touched Easter. Which is kinda funny because I'm anti-religion girl and Easter is a religious holiday.

And Christmas isn't bad per say. It just...bad memories and emo me. It's not bad like say my birthday is.

[deep-red-bells.livejournal.com]

Damn. How very nice of them to ruin all those holidays for you. AND your birthday. :( My birthday kinda sucks for me, too.

[whattingawhat.livejournal.com]

To be fair, they didn't mean to. Well a couple of the holidays they did but they didn't have souls so you can't hold it against them now. And the birthday thing, that's like universal PTB screw with Buffy day.

'Cause of the whole your dad thing? Or something else?

[deep-red-bells.livejournal.com]

We need to have very strong words with the PTBs. We really do. What happened, with all of them? Or, is that kind of too personal?

No. My grandmother. She died three weeks after my birthday.

[whattingawhat.livejournal.com]

I think we've sorta obliterated too personal ages ago

17-slept with Angel. He turned evil.
18- The Watcher's Council took away my power and Dad renigged on his promise to take me to the ice capades. That was the last I ever heard from him.
19-Ethan Rayne turned Giles into a demon
20- Dawn tried to kill herself because she found out she was a key
21- The best of them, Dawn accidently wished us all locked in the house unable to get out.
22-I thought Dawn might be a potential. It turns out she wasn't but still bad.

From there just a series of bad things. Demons trying to end the world, kill people I love etc etc.

I'm sorry :( That does kind of ruin things for you.

[deep-red-bells.livejournal.com]

Holy shit. I'd definitely stop celebrating altogether. I mean, I pretty much already have, but damn.

It does. I'm kind of...not over it, but it doesn't hurt like it used to. Now it's just, like, 'Okay, I'm one year closer to thirty. Yay?'

[whattingawhat.livejournal.com]

Yeah last year I was in Scotland at the school. It's in this big castle and I locked myself in the dungeon with a tv, dvd player and lots of chocolate. I told anyone that disturbed me for anything less than world ending would have their world ended and if they mentioned my birthday I would tie them to the rack.

I've already told Danny we don't celebrate my birthday. We don't even mention it. He was okay with it. One less date for him to try and remember, which apparently he's bad at.

Thirty is a really good goal (and how sad is it that I know it's a really good goal) It's hard but it gets easier. I don't miss my Mom any less but not having her hurts less. How long has it been for you?

[deep-red-bells.livejournal.com]

Massive amounts of chocolate and a DVD player sounds like a perfectly lovely way to spend a non-existent birthday to me.

Aw, well it's good that he was cool with it. I pretty much told Julian the same thing. My birthday's coming up, it's next week, and I really wanted him here, but I didn't want to celebrate outside of just having him around. He was sweet about it. He said something like "Well we can not celebrate it and ignore it completely by doing something ridiculously extravagant and fun without ever mentioning the word 'birthday.'"

You know, with the whole slayer thing now, thirty actually does seem like a good goal. It was eight years ago that my grandmother died.

[whattingawhat.livejournal.com]

Yay! I like Boy more and more all the time. He sounds like a keeper.

I take it in increments. First it was 21 (which technically I didn't make but then I didn't make 17 technically either) and then it was 25 and now it's 30. I figure next I'll shoot for 35.

So you lost her a little before I lost my Mom. I should be asking you if it gets easier.

[deep-red-bells.livejournal.com]

I like him. A whole lot.

Well, you've been a slayer a lot longer than I have, so I guess 30 is really my first milestone. I mean, besides making it home every night?

I think it gets to the point where those really intense, sad/hurting moments come less often. I don't think they ever go away completely, but they do get a little less intense, and they don't come as often.

[whattingawhat.livejournal.com]

Aww. I love that like part. It's kind of awesome.

Hey don't knock the making it home every night milestone. It's a good one to have. Milestones period are important.

*nod* Yeah, that's where I'm at. I'm dreading Mother's Day but most of the time, I'm okay. Sometimes I still want to call her and tell her things. It even takes me a minute to remember I can't. You know other than the whole talking to her thing and I do that. Everywhere.

[deep-red-bells.livejournal.com]

It is. The giggles and the sighs and the warm tingles you get when they same something perfect and wonderful...*sigh*

It is a good one to have, it really is. I guess it's better to have it as a goal than take it for granted.

I talk to my grandmother too. All the time. I mean, if anyone was getting into heaven, it was her. That woman loved mass and confession. So I figure she can hear me.

[whattingawhat.livejournal.com]

Yeah...if it could just *stay* that way.

No taking for granted. Taking for granted is when you start underestimating them and that's bad.

She can. That's the good thing about my stint in Heaven. I know Mom's there and I know...well that they can.

[deep-red-bells.livejournal.com]

Yeah...

Exactly. That's very, very bad.

Oh, wow, that must be incredibly comforting. Sad that, you know, you couldn't stay, but still...

[whattingawhat.livejournal.com]

Yeah. I'm glad I know at least.
