Orchids? Anybody?

[ashinae]

Well hi!

First, thank you to those who posted birthday wishes. :) *hugs*

Second, I received a beautiful, white, potted orchid from deerdancer today. I also got a $50 gift card from my parents for Chapters; I fully intended to go and buy an orchid book so I'd know how to care for the poor plant. My parents are like, no, no, don't waste your card! Just look it up on the internet!

And I tried googling "orchid care" and came up with so much, and I can't make sense of it, and HELP. Does ANYBODY here keep orchids? What's a good, reliable site? I NEED HELP OMG.

So I totally didn't know it was your birthday (sorry!) but there should be something in your inbox from me, anyhow. :D And now... I sing the Viking Birthday Song:

Happy Birthday! *THUD* Happy Birthday! *THUD*
May the candles on your cake
burn like cities in your wake

Happy Birthday! *THUD* Happy Birthday! *THUD*
Death and gloom and black despair
People dying everywhere

Happy Birthday! *THUD* Happy Birthday! *THUD*
Now you are the age you are
Your demise cannot be far

Happy Birthday! *THUD* Happy Birthday! *THUD*
Now your jail-bait days are done
let's go out and have some fun!

Happy Birthday! *THUD* Happy Birthday! *THUD*
Burn the Castle and storm the keep
Kill the Women but SAVE THE SHEEP!

Happy Birthday! *THUD* Happy Birthday! *THUD*
It's your birthday never fear
You'll be dead this time next year

Happy Birthday! *THUD* Happy Birthday! *THUD*
See the wrinkles on your face
Like the pattern of fine lace

Happy Birthday! *THUD* Happy Birthday! *THUD*
Birthdays come but once a year
Marking time as Death draws near

Happy Birthday! *THUD* Happy Birthday! *THUD*
When you’ve reached this age you know
That the mind is first to go

Happy Birthday! *THUD* Happy Birthday! *THUD*
This one lesson you must learn:
First you pillage, THEN you burn

Happy Birthday! *THUD* Happy Birthday! *THUD*
Just be glad the friends you’ve got
Haven’t found out you-know-what

Happy Birthday! *THUD* Happy Birthday! *THUD*
