HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JIM MACK!

I'm sorry, I couldn't help it. Happy Birthday to our boy!

Because, you know, it's crucial to celebrate a birthday of a fictional character (SHUDDUP, HE WAS REAL!) who's been dead for almost a century (SHUT IT, HIS STILL LIVES WITH DOYLER!!)

YAY! It's JIM MACK day! Also, THE OPENING OF 'AT SWIM' DAY!

Yeah, and some of you might have still harbored the illusion that I've got a life. HA!

I am VERY glad that I'm not the only one who thought about this first thing this morning!... it wasn't until I had had a soda and a smoke that I realized it was my mother's birthday as well.

Oh, My dear Jim!

Love and Sand,
Jo

You're too cute for words :)

BTW, in response to your text: whenever you figure it out is fine. In no rush, you see.

He will live forever. Just imagine him now at...what, about 105 or so, coming home to the 105 year old Doyler, and them both doddering about, and then toddling over to the Forty Foot for their daily swim, even though they had to stop jumping when Jim got arthritis about 30 years ago. Doyler still could but of course he helps Jim down the ladder instead, and they both sit there for a while, and then they come back up and they go back to their little 105 year old cottage and read Wilde to each other. Especially on his birthday, when it's extra special, and Jim's 85 year old niece comes and makes them cake, and they sit and talk about days of old. This is how they are and will always be, amen.

I smile!

(no illusions here, haha ;))

Happy birthday, indeed! I'll need to add that to my calendar, along with the Gondorian and Elvish New Years. ;)

I have to say, I did almost fall off my chair, and I KNOW you. That's priceless. I hope you remebered BEFORE you saw your mother. ;) And of course you weren't the only one, who the hell do you take me for?!

Oh, Jim Mack, we love you so.

Love and Rocks.
mwah!

*bats eyelashes* I try. *bats them some more*

And cool! I'll talk to my mom, if not before she leaves, then definitely after she comes back. :D

My God, haven't seen you in aaaaaaaaaaaages! My Prince!

And I do so enjoy this scenario. Especially about Jim's niece coming to make them some cake, and Doyler helping him down the ladder. The funniest thing about this, I imagine them as boys, only with white Whitman-like beards and bent backs. Hmmm...

Miss you! Mwaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

Smart woman. ;)

Hehe, sounds like a fun-filled calendar to me! ;)

Happy Birthday Jim !!!!!!!!

A naked Doyler for you :-)

I was going to post a Birthday entry for Jim, but I forgot to upload one of his icons :(

But seeing your post made me feel better about it.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JIM MACK! May Doyler celebrate you as you deserve it *smiles*

Jim thanks you profusely. ;)

Oh, oh, oh! Do you want a Jim icon? Do you have a Jim icon? Are you tired of me talking about making icons? Are you, are you, are you?!

:-P

I'm glad it made you feel better. You can't be worrying about things like this on top of others! *licks*

MWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

Yay, I was right! Whoohoo! I couldn't remember if I'd remembered right, if that makes any sense at all...

HAPPY JIM DAY!!!

*does a little dance, because dammit he and Doyler totally did meet up again, IT'S CANON SO THERE OMG*

Also, I love you. Like, loads. Have I said that enough yet today? (Answer: no.)

Official Jim Mack day is a wonderful idea. I'll have to go and read that opening section again, just to remind myself.

Did you ever find that ASTB mix CD? I discovered the other day that I've still got it on iTunes if you want me to burn you another copy.

Happy Jim Day! It *is* absolutely crucial to celebrate!

I have my old icons :) Remember who did this for me?
Of course you can make me another icon if you want to... Jim or Doyler, or Norman Reedus, or puppies (I need more puppy love)... whatever you want... I love YOUR icons.

and I lovelovelovelovelovelove you.

*hugs* *kisses* *licks*

Jim and Doyler celebrating... so sweet!

*licks you again*

This is how they are and will always be, amen.
Amen. That was beautiful.

Ohhhhhhhhhhh! How could I have forgotten about this one?! SHEESH!

Did you get my earlier email? With the icon? Aren't I a DORK?! Heh.

I will definitely make you more. Count on it.

LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm leaving for the night. Work is over! YES!!!!!!!!!!!!

*licks you again and again*

Of COURSE! See? You all get it. ;)

I love the opening section. It gives me shivers for the rest of the book - such a slow and beautiful build up. And, oh, there's Jim Mack, with his long lashes and dimpled cheeks. Waah.

And I did find it! It was hiding in my CD burner, which I never use, because it apparently doesn't work. But yes. The precious is still there. Thank GOD. But thank you for the offer! ALthough...what do you mean you 'still' have it? What in the world would happen to it? Hmmm?

Of COURSE you were right! :D It's Jim Mack day! And it IS so canon, so you know...yeah. Denial all the way. Aren't we used to that?

Love you loads, too. Surprise! Hehe.

mwaah!

I've copied and loaded so much stuff onto iTunes that sometimes I go through and delete things that I know I've made other copies of (does that make sense?). But I didn't delete the ASTB mix!

Hehe, that's better. You are now absolved.

Speaking of which, I had the oddest dream - I don't normally describe all my dreams to everyone, just to let you know, but you'll see why this is special - where I ended up in the world of At Swim, in a really odd way, like I was taking people on a tour, and that it actually happened and I was there WHEN it happened, except it looked more like the French Riviera combined with Venice than Sandycove and Dublin, I knew Mr Mack who was STILL ALIVE and a bar owner, which apparently, he had been when it all went down, but at the same time, he WASN'T really Mr Mack, but Jim's father nonetheless, and Jim and Doyler were fictional. But not. So, the strangest part of all is that it's like I met the creator of them who was also involved in the story, but he looked nothing like Jamie O'Neill and Jamie O'Neill existed as a separate entity, and it made a random girl who was with me cry, though she'd never read the book. And I talked about MacEmm, who apparently was also still alive and living in Galway, though the man - Jim's father but not Mr Mack - had heard false rumors that he was killed. But he wasn't. He was living in Galway. He was still in his 30's. It was all very, very odd. And it was very, very sunny. And then I woke up, but before I did, the reenactments of what had happened were being played somewhere on the street and it involved people flying into a horse-drawn carriage and getting shot, and one of the people looked suspiciously like Colin Firth.

All in all, I have a very very fucked up subconscious.
