The whole birthday thing was new to me and I must admit I haven't marked online friends birthdays or thought much about them - I did contribute when a BNF friends put together a com for her, but she had done a lot for the pairing and fandom -so it seemed right. But since my birthday last month when so many surprised me with comments and postings I am trying to give back a little. But I am rather bad at RL ones and will be the same with online ones as well. Good post.
