Happy Birthday to Meeeee


(I'm not exactly sure WHERE this image came from. Andrew, from my agent's office, sent this to me this morning. Haven't a clue where he found it, but it is AWESOME.)


Hullo there.

It's my 38th birthday.

First of all, thank you for all the birthday wishes I've been reading online. You care, you really care... sniffle... It almost made up for the fact that I will have no birthday cake today, and I have no one to sing me happy birthday. But that's fine. That's okay. I was woken up this morning by a birthday text, which would have started my day off with a smile were it not for the fact that the text was from O2, my phone provider...

Even so, thank you, O2. It's nice to know you care.

Before you feel TOO sorry for me, I celebrated my birthday last Saturday, when we combined it with a Halloween party because three of my nieces will be down the country on Halloween night. So, y'know... my birthday was hijacked by three princesses and a pirate. But that's fine.

So, what did I GET for my birthday? I shall tell you. I got a remote controlled toy car! From my brother and sisters! They got me a remote controlled toy car! Yes! They did! For no reason! For no reason I can possibly comprehend, they got me a remote controlled toy car! Thank you, brother and sisters! Just what I've always wanted but could never put into words! Joy of joys!

So, after picking myself up from the floor, it was my mother's turn to give me the present from my folks. It was a shirt! A shirt! A blue shirt! But not just any kind of blue shirt! A blue denim shirt! DENIM! The most awesome material you could possibly make a shirt FROM! A blue denim shirt!

Truly, I am blessed. It's not like when their birthdays come around I buy them computers or TVs or designer handbags. Nope. That's not what happens at all.

So you wait, my family! You just wait till your birthdays roll around again! You cannot BEGIN to guess what WONDER of a present I shall be buying you!

Joy of joys!

Ieni Strider (Ieni The Ninja Aeroplane, Eater of Fabi's armses) said...

Hey, Star!

So are denim shirts cool now?
If this comment doesn't post..

Ieni Strider (Ieni The Ninja Aeroplane, Eater of Fabi's armses) said...

Why is everyone on O2? It's making me feel larry :(

Niamhy Jay said...

Derek...

I was wondering...

Since you are so brilliant and witty and epic and awesome, will you be doing a Halloween short story this year if you have the time?

Maybe it can be centred on China, give us an idea of what she is up to... Just a thought.

Ieni Strider (Ieni The Ninja Aeroplane, Eater of Fabi's armses) said...

I wonder when people are going to start trying to get Derek to comment for this...
Hmm..I better start...
Derek, you should post a comment, so I can prove to my brother you are amazing and witty etc.

Happy Birthday!!

And those sound like... er, well, perfectly awesome birthday presents. I mean, what WOULD one possibly give someone as awesome as you? It makes one think long and hard and come up with something... something wonderful, yet simple.

(I figured out years ago that if I wanted something cool for my birthday, or anything at all for that matter, I need to buy my own gifts. It's worked out well.)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GOLDEN GOD!

Skyril A.K.A the Vociferous Chatterer, Loyal Forever and Always, The Ever-Present, the Pluviophile said...

Dear Mr. Derek Landy,

I've found a home away from home with friends and creativity, chaos, love, charity, companionship, and hardships that come with every family, thanks to you. I appreciate it.

Every time I read the first line of the first page of the first chapter of a new book or a book I've picked up that's worn and old with being read, or breathed in that glorious scent of new or musty aged books, I know that I can thank you for encouraging my love of it all, especially when it comes to trying to write something of my own.

I remember the day I decided to give it a shot, and I know beyond a doubt there is no possible way I would ever have even attempted it without you and everyone of your crazy ninja leprechauns and my fellow minions telling me to Just... try. It's all of this that got me interested!

Your books are beautiful, and you yourself as a person, even if you had never written Skulduggery Pleasant and the world he lives in, are someone whom I would respect and look up to because your so kind and funny. I might have told you this before, but you remind me of my dad. Ha, he's such a teaser! I pretty much got my entire sense of humor from him, so I really appreciate your style.
And now your 38, and that is..., let's see, 18 years younger than my dad and exactly 21 years older than me. That means I have 21 years to improve, my already brilliant self to possibly become half as awesome as you! Ha! What a task! But I'll try ~grins~
Happy birthday Mr. Landy. I hope you have a glorious day.

Octa said...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEREK!

I would get you a cake for your birthday.

I know where you live *cackles*

But ish just too far away.

So here is a virtual cake.

Made of oysters. Who sing.

In Elvish.

Yeah.

Harriet Lemon Langley said...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEREK!!!!!!!!!
HOPE THE DAY IS EPIC AND IF IT ISN'T WHISPER 'THE SPARROW FLIES SOUTH FOR WINTER' AND I'LL PUNCH THE DAY.....*AHEM*

Mary Contrary said...

Hi, Master Derek, Sir.

I'd give you some epic, long-winded birthday message, but I'm short of time. So you'll not be getting much from me.

BUT, in all fairness, I DID remember your birthday, and from a person with equal memory-span to that of a grape, that's a VERY positive point.
I was sat with my iPod this morning, saw the date and thought 'October 23rd. Derek-day.'

No presents, either - I'm a busier person than I'd originally thought.
I could get myself a present for your birthday, though. I'll check, yet again, if WHSmith's has KOTW yet.

I suppose that counts as a present...
Right? No? Fine.

In any case, happy birthday, Golden God.

barmybex said...

Happy Birthday Derek!!!
If you had come to the library I work in or just near me (Bedford UK) I would have made and brought you a cake. I would even have designed it into something cool like a skull. :D

Hope you had a good day anyway.

YAYAYAYAYAYY!!!!!! I'm so excited! In celebration, you should come to the states! Texas, nameley, but, you know, your birthday.

For your families' birthdays, you should get them things like... well, I got my dad a stick-on mustache because he was trying really hard to grow a real one (said stache is now on the Roomba). You should do something like that.

Which Niece was a pirate? Not to pick favourites, but I like that one the best.
