We've been getting gifts delivered to the palace all week now-- even more so than usual, because nobody is coming for a celebration themselves. It's mostly artwork or heirlooms; they're never personal, obviously. Yesterday we received an antique vase that looks good in the portrait hall, but other than that, nothing has been all that interesting or of note.

I'll be off-world, and I'll be going out to a spa with someone in the afternoon, but other than that I have nothing planned. It'll seem odd for my birthday to just be like any other day, especially since it's my sixteenth.

Is this what it's like for commoners?

Most people usually do something special for their birthday, even if it's only having cake.

... Azula is suspicious because she's not getting a one-off insult from Karen this time

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

I did say I was going to a spa with someone.

If Karen knew, she'd intentionally play this up to watch Azula's reaction

[oceanicbutterfly]

Your phrasing made it sound like you didn't think of that as special.

ahaha

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

My phrasing made it sound like that isn't what I'm used to.

[oceanicbutterfly]

For your birthday, not in general.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

What's your point?

[oceanicbutterfly]

...that I misunderstood because of how you phrased what you said?

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

No, you misunderstood because you didn't read the post properly. There's nothing wrong with how I phrased it.

[oceanicbutterfly]

I didn't say there was, but I guess everything has to be an argument with you, doesn't it?

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

You insinuated that it was poorly phrased.

[oceanicbutterfly]

I di

...fine, sure, whatever.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

... What's wrong with you today?

[oceanicbutterfly]

Nothing that I... know about...

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

You're not acting childish and bratty.

[oceanicbutterfly]

I'm acting normal.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

Not normal for you. You haven't said anything ridiculous like "Who would go to a spa with you?" or "You think this birthday is going to be odd? You are odd".

[oceanicbutterfly]

I already know who would go to a spa with you, and that second thing is really a stretch.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

I doubt you do.

It's not a stretch from the sort of idiotic things you've been saying lately. I'll give you this (http://peoplesprincess.livejournal.com/92006.html?thread=8218214#t8218214) as an example.

[oceanicbutterfly]

Dr. Cuddy comes to mind.

The difference between this post and that one is that this one has content.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

Hm.

So did that one.

[oceanicbutterfly]

"Yesterday was ridiculous" isn't much of a post.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

It was an accurate one.
