I have been gone a few days.
So I need to catch up here.
First, Happy Birthday, MsShinobu. The background in your signature image always stands out to me since that is Gato's fighting stage background in Garou: Mark of the Wolves.
Happy Birthday, Destroyer2000. I apologize for my tardiness.
For the sixteenth of September, Happy Birthday, Anime-Emperor and Sunako.
....
Ah, I see. First, I would to thank the members who PM'd me. If you did not, I might have forgotten my birthday like I usually have done so in the past. And thank you all for posting about my birthday.
The reason I post in this thread often is that I know in my experience that a genuine expression of good intentions can sometimes make someone's day, and the impression can be even more powerful coming from a complete stranger.
As for how my day went (since so many have expressed their wish to know here or through PM), today was covered in clouds, heavy winds, and rain from the trails of Hurricane Ivan. I was working on an assignment all day and night. Furthermore, due to a lack of good sleep, I found it very hard to pay attention to my professors during their lectures, though I did hear them give a few assignments that I thought was pushing absurdity. I have also learned how to type with one hand and use the other to hold a hair dryer to dry off my soaked clothes.
This type of situation is not odd when it comes to my birthday, being busy with an unusual amount of daily challenges.
Regardless, I still would like to thank God for answering my parents' prayers 23 years ago to have a child, who just happened to be me. By observing and analyzing my parents' love for each other in their marriage, I was led to Christ, and thus, started to know Him. For that, I am thankful for that day long ago.
Speaking of my parents on a lighter note, during the late hours of last night, I received an e-mail from my father. As not-so-serious proof to show how close we are, I will show it to you (with names and e-mails blurred out, of course). He gave me an anime card with a characters from my favorite anime series of all-time.
Note: I do not know anything about the site that serves these cards and its content. So for the curious who want to look at the site on their own, you have been warned.
