Hmmm... I seem to have missed my fifth deathday by a month. I was under the impression that I died in October, but what the heck. Anyway, happy fifth to me!

I cannot believe it, but today is my Deathday. At my timezone, there is almost midnight, so the day is almost gone... but it must have been sometime in the last ten or so hours when it was precisely one year. It feels... strange. Not that it would seem too long, or too short for me to be around here... it's just... I don't know, somewhat magic. One year at the Downs. Something unspeakable. A year ago, I had no idea that I'm going to be here still at this time, I had no idea what all can be found in this place... not an idea who are the people around... A blank page waiting to be filled. And what am I going to say the next year? Am I going to be here also? I hope I will... the Downs, and also you Downers, have become important to me.

Happy Deathday Legate. May Deadly Returns*!
*That is, returns of terrible gifts to their respective stores. I mean, what are you going to do with a million inch TV set that is also a full en suite bathroom, BBQ and mini bar anyway?

Belated deathday congrats, Legate!
May there be many, many more years in the 'Downs for you to come...

Belated happy deathday, Legate!
And you will still be here next year, greeting yourself a happy second deathday if someone does not beat you to it. If the Downs and its members have become a significant part of your life, you won't just disappear like a bubble no matter how busy life gets. Besides - but maybe it's just me - the succeeding deathdays come around sooner than the first one does.
