Happy birthday, Eledhwen, may you have shining days ahead of you. - - - We might need to email her too, though. It's been a pretty long time since she last visited.

Happy birthday, Eledhwen!! Hope you had a wonderful day! Note to Aeglos: Refresh my memory. What else do I keep up with? 
Ai! laurië lantar lassi súrinen,
yéni únótimë ve rámar aldaron!
Yéni ve lintë yuldar avánier
mi oromardi lissë-miruvóreva
Andúnë pella, Vardo tellumar
nu luini yassen tintilar i eleni
ómaryo airetári-lírinen.
Sí man i yulma nin enquantuva?
An sí Tintallë Varda Oiolossëo
ve fanyar máryat Elentári ortanë,
ar ilyë tier undulávë lumbulë;
ar sindanóriello caita mornië
i falmalinnar imbë met, ar hísië
untúpa Calaciryo míri oialë.
Sí vanwa ná, Rómello vanwa, Valimar!
Namárië! Nai hiruvalyë Valimar!
Nai elyë hiruva! Namárië!

If I remember correctly, Arien's birthday is on the 18th February. Since I won't be able to come on then, I'll have to wish her now. Happy Birthday, Arien! May all your wishes come true! :)

How do you do that, Star?
Thanks :)
I'll be 20 on Thursday, so I'm finally NOT a teenager anymore! Haven't felt like one in years, you know...

OMG! I'm not sure that I remember being 20! Oh yeah, that's when I was newly married and learning how to be a good wife.....not sure I learned that very well, as I feel as if I am still learning how to do that.
Hope that your birthday was as wonderful as you are, Arien, and that's saying a lot!!

Happy birthday, Arien! Wow. Once again, it shows how wrong I am in judging people's ages from their posts - or photos, as I think you posted one of yourself. I would have said you are around 25.

Thank you folks! John Wain wrote: I would have said you are around 25. Well, I've always been a few years ahead of most people my age. I'm now finally not a teenager anymore!

I agree, oulmo, each age has its unique flavour. I don't see how being a teenager is bad, and turning 20 does not mean you've woken up mature. But maturity does come with age, it seems, and if we rejoice in knowledge and experience then I should say you do have reason to be happy, Arien.

In my country teenagers have a reputation that is a hard working ground. There are no intellectual benefits in an age, but somehow it is like a 'coming of age' as far as society is concerned.
