Granted, it's a bit arbitrary, but I'm taking the offer of learning how to make brownies as a good birthday thing. Going to take the bath bomb too, even if it may not actually count.

If people want to join me for brownies, feel free.

How are you holding up?

	Brownies are easy. The hardest part is just not letting them burn in the oven. Happy birthday! (Reply to this) (Thread)

	force_wound 2023-12-06 06:49 pm UTC (link)
	That is the trick of it, yeah. Thank you. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	...bath bomb? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	force_wound 2023-12-06 06:53 pm UTC (link)
	It's something you're supposed to let drop in a bath. Think it fizzes. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	torunnofthunder 2023-12-06 06:58 pm UTC (link)
	Oh. Sounds weird. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	force_wound 2023-12-06 07:09 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah, that's fair. Not really sure why they call them that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	torunnofthunder 2023-12-06 07:11 pm UTC (link)
	It brings up bad thoughts for sure. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	force_wound 2023-12-06 08:48 pm UTC (link)
	Also fair. Do you want me to change it? I don't mind. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	torunnofthunder 2023-12-06 08:52 pm UTC (link)
	Oh, no it is fine. I just didn't know what it was and thought it was something bad. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	force_wound 2023-12-06 09:05 pm UTC (link)
	Should have probably explained what it was in the first place, that's on me. Took me a bit to get used to what most people consider common, so if you got questions, happy to answer them. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Bath bomb. That’s a new one. Why does it not count? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	force_wound 2023-12-06 11:11 pm UTC (link)
	It's technically part of the advent calendar. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	jedilorian 2023-12-07 03:12 am UTC (link)
	Not sure what an Advent calendar is, but I still don’t get what it doesn’t count for. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	force_wound 2023-12-07 03:42 am UTC (link)
	The advent calendar is something apparently a few of us got. It keeps giving us gifts, leading up to the major holiday. Ergo because it's technically counting down to something, claiming a gift for an arbitrary birthday doesn't feel like it counts, exactly. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	jedilorian 2023-12-07 05:27 am UTC (link)
	Seems like a stupid arbitrary rule to me. If you want to say it counts, it counts. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	force_wound 2023-12-07 03:07 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah, that was my idea about it. Still, hard to lose old habits. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	jedilorian 2023-12-10 04:07 pm UTC (link)
	That is something I can understand. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	force_wound 2023-12-10 04:21 pm UTC (link)
	Always fun that. Don't think I've offered introductions, so. Meetra Surik. Nice to meet you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	jedilorian 2023-12-10 04:43 pm UTC (link)
	Sabine Wren. It's good to meet you, Meetra. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	mastering 2023-12-08 12:57 am UTC (link)
	Is there anything else you'd like for your birthday? We could do something after the brownies. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	force_wound 2023-12-08 01:09 am UTC (link)
	Unhelpfully, can't really think of anything. Haven't really done much of this. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mastering 2023-12-08 04:31 pm UTC (link)
	We can't have that. Artoo and I are taking you out, and we won't hear any protests. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	force_wound 2023-12-08 05:12 pm UTC (link)
	That's kind of you. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	worshipfullness 2023-12-10 11:10 pm UTC (link)
	I hope you don't mix up the brownie and the bath bomb. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	force_wound 2023-12-10 11:18 pm UTC (link)
	So far, so good. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	worshipfullness 2023-12-10 11:36 pm UTC (link)
	That's good to hear. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	force_wound 2023-12-11 12:15 am UTC (link)
	Think it helps that the bath bomb smells just different enough. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	obimyhighground 2023-12-29 02:21 am UTC (link)
	Happy Birthday my dear! I hope it is lovely as you are. [Private] I am well. How are you? It's strange to have these name day things we did not practice before. I like it though. Did you have something like this in your time? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	force_wound 2023-12-29 02:30 am UTC (link)
	One can only hope. [Private] No, I did not. I mostly picked a random day. I know the year I was brought to the Temple, but nothing else. Possible I'm off in my estimation of my age by a few months, possibly a year. But you're right. I do like it, and it is strange. A bit. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Private] obimyhighground 2023-12-29 02:48 am UTC (link)
	I also do not know my true birthdate. I have a couple memories of a family before the Temple but they don't really help with timing of things. Did you like the bathbomb? I admit, I have tried and liked them myself. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Private] force_wound 2023-12-29 02:56 am UTC (link)
	Pick a date. We can do something, if you like? I did, even if it's named a bit oddly. Have to say, not to sure what the calendar is about, but it's nice having something to look forward too. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I would like that. Perhaps something...neither of us would have been allowed in our previous lives.

Yes, I was distrustful of them at first with that title. But they do make ones skin feel quite soft and hydrated. It reminds me of the fine soaps from Alderaan.

Their calendar is not one I recognized before being pulled from my previous life, but it was used similarly in the place I was previously.

	Pretty big list. Your day though, so your choice. Probably a better name for it. But it was nice yeah. Not so used to it. Would probably get it again. Not something I came across myself. Must have missed it. Only know a little of the holiday, and not something I celebrate, but the idea behind it is nice. If you'd like to do something for it? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Private] obimyhighground 2023-12-29 05:09 am UTC (link)
	I'll think on it. The old stand bys of tea and alcohol are a bit too cliche. There are a lot of products that are intriguing here. Christmas? We can. I know little of it other than it involves gifts and a fat man in a red suit that is some type of cultural icon on Earth. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Private] force_wound 2023-12-29 05:21 am UTC (link)
	Fair enough. True. Can't hurt to try them. Sounds like a plan and same here, honestly. I try reading up on it best I can but it seems there's quite a bit. (Reply to this) (Parent)
