- Go to How I Spent The First Few (Waking) Hours Of My Birthday
Thank you very much, Frankenkitty ...
Oh, and my family is chock full of "unusual" men's names: Vladimir, Igor, Pavel, etc.
Not sure I would necessarily want to marry a guy with any of those names, however.

Well, happy birthday.
Your birthday sounds like fun! On my 21st birthday, I wished to meet a man who treated me the way my grandfather treated my grandmother, and the next weekend I met my future husband. He had the same name as my grandfathers middle name: Emil. It's not common. Well, take care and make wish for something, maybe a winning lottery ticket? You never know!

I can see that
I don't think I could keep my composure if I was being tickled by, say, Jessica Alba in a "French maid" outfit.

Thank you, Aaron ...
For me, the ability to keep my composure varies
dramatically based on the situation plus who's doing the tickling.

Oh, Happy Birthday.
Tickling is an odd thing. I used to be ticklish, but I've learned to generally avoid reacting to being tickled with enough mental focus. Although there are a few parts that are easier to block out than others.

The problem, Amateur, is that ...
it is rather difficult to pretend to faint, when you are being pummeled, tickled, etc.

Happy birthday, Mademoiselle...
Frankly, you need not resort to nurturing a BO to get away from the typical birthday abuse. If things go really bad, just pretend to faint. Not only will the abuse stop instantaneously... you'll get scores of people treating you like royalty as well.

OOOOOHHHH, THAT's the smell...
hey we can smell you all the way over near the Jersey shore. I thought there was just some sour milk spilled in the dumpster while we were at the supermarket. I hope the wind changes soon.
Seriously, have a Very Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday, Mademoiselle,
Sorry the B.O. thing didn't work for you. But it was a really clever idea. In my family, that would have worked. Thanks for the tip. :)

Okay! Despite my rampant B.O.,
I'm being dragged away from the computer. Thus, I'm going to be offline for a while (the "Blogit kiss of death"), but shall be back a little later.
Oh, and feel free to go ahead and leave your thoughts/comments/whatnot ... otherwise, it's pretty tough to respond (seeing as I'm not a psychic).

And it does smell kinda like skunk, doesn't it? Curiously, neither odor bothers me all that much ... though, I guess I'm in the minority.
