Happy birthday, Autumn! (AKA Moonlit Naiad!)

[Mitera Nikkou]

Sorry, for some strange reason I must post this birthday in particular.

*Gives Autumn a green cake*

Now, don't say that the cake is a lie. When it's green, that gives something the okay. Yee-up. *Nods sagely*

[Sam]

You beat Ookalf this time!

[Mitera Nikkou]

I used to beat everybody all of the time. With a beet. I fell into a rhythm. It rocked.

[Sam]

Like a hurricane?

[Ookalf]

Dammit, this is supposed to be my gimmick now!

...Anyway, happy birthday!

[Mitera Nikkou]

Hey, if not for her I might still be using bold as part of my standard writing style, instead of for emphasis. Like this. For several weeks I wrote like this, until she ended my bold tyranny. It's just one of those things, I guess. Besides, before me was Jayme, and before that a mixture of people, including myself.

You only get to do this because I let you.

I'm contemplating showing her avatar of four-plus years ago. I wonder if she remembers it.

[Ookalf]

Yeah, but you were supposed to be retired.

[Moonlit Naiad]

Thanks. ^^;

And I've had lots of avatars over the years, going way back to the old ezboards (the bravenet ones before that didn't have avatar support, I think). I surely can't remember them all. :p

Ookalf:

There are a lot of things that are supposed to be, but it seems that fate has it in for me: no matter what I do, things rarely turn out as I intend. ;/

Autumn:

Please tell me that you remember, so I don't think I'm crazy and imagined it. XD

Still, it must have been this one. *_*

Also, glad you responded. I don't see enough of you.

*Crescent gets pie'd in the face*
That's for stealin' mah THUNDAH!

[Mitera Nikkou]

Your thunder from down under wasn't a lie, so it was mine for the taking. Besides, Autumn likes green things, so blame her for inspiring me. ^_^

*I slurp up the pie from my face in classic drooly-tongue fashion*

[Mistress Guendolen]

Happy birthday! Have fun.

[Moonlit Naiad]

4+ years ago seems right. It might not have been that specific picture, but I do know I had a LJ icon made of that character (whoever she is) and may have used it as a forum avatar a bit. It was mostly to tweak at Nina/Akemi a bit as a (then-)Ovalisk avatar, since, as an avatar, it had the text "Hug me?" on it. :p
--
Now, I went digging on the wayback machine, and found what is one of my first icons. I think, though, it wasn't the first -- I'm pretty sure I used "yume" (dream) rather than "ai" (love) for the first icon, but ... sadly not everything is archived..

[Mitera Nikkou]

I don't remember that text, but the image was unique enough for me to never forget. XD At least I think that a cheerful girl with pink hair, surrounded by stars and, in particular, having this large, shiny star on her collar, is unique. ;p

I wonder if I can find some of my old stuff with the wayback machine. I gave it a try but I had no luck with anything forum-related. Well, if there's a way, my n00bishness won't produce it. ;p I'm not sure what my first avatar was... I was thinking Minku from Dragon Half, but it could have also been Aron or Kara from Phantasy Star 3, or Demi from 4. And showing my shy introduction topic would probably be an amusing sight. *Nod-nods*

Happy! Happy! Happy! Birthday!

Since when did Ookalf get that job? Just curious.
