I hope your day is filled with joy and may you see many, many more in years to come.

No, nothing in particular. I guess a beer somewhere and then watching some game. We're not that big on celebrations, I guess.

I-- huh. What's a good way that you've celebrated your birthday?

[sand-andwater.livejournal.com]

I don't.

[winchesterjerk.livejournal.com]

Not ever? Not even as a kid?

[sand-andwater.livejournal.com]

As a child, my birthday parties were catered affairs filled with my father's business partners, my mother's bridge partners and children chaperoned by their nannies. Would you like someone to throw you a formal tea party? Perhaps a nice polo match.

[winchesterjerk.livejournal.com]

Huh. I don't think I'll be able to gather the right crowd for that? I mean, not like I can ride or anything. Other than a motorbike, a couple of times, but I do prefer my car.

And here I thought Sam and I got short-changed, that way.

[sand-andwater.livejournal.com]

I really miss riding on the back of Ro's bike. I miss horseback riding with him too.

[winchesterjerk.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry.

Maybe you could get him to organize a polo game, make pictures, and send you some? Which is the most absurd suggestion I could come up with, and I know it.

[sand-andwater.livejournal.com]

Ro doesn't play polo that I know of.

[winchesterjerk.livejournal.com]

Okay, that didn't work.

But yeah, no. Tea party and polo game after? Not exactly my thing. Most likely I'd end up being kicked out of the whole affair.

[sand-andwater.livejournal.com]

Then I suggest you book a venue that isn't on Long Island's north shore.

[winchesterjerk.livejournal.com]

Well, good thing we're in the mid-West rather than up there, then, right?

[sand-andwater.livejournal.com]

Frankly, I'd be shocked if you were ever in Lloyd Neck Harbor.

[winchesterjerk.livejournal.com]

Haven't been so far, and for the sake of its residents, I kinda hope I don't have to show up? Or something like that.

[sand-andwater.livejournal.com]

Think the unrefined boy would scare the socialites?

[winchesterjerk.livejournal.com]

Hmm? And yeah, it's been known to happen. I don't get along with that breed - Sam's got better luck, usually, unless I'm there to cloud up the picture.

Socialites, huh?

[sand-andwater.livejournal.com]

So you don't think we get along?

[winchesterjerk.livejournal.com]

Nah, we're just pretending, in case somebody's watching.

[sand-andwater.livejournal.com]

I see.

[winchesterjerk.livejournal.com]

Oh come on. I'm just fooling around. Sure we get along, and I'm grateful for it - the more the merrier. It's just that usually tend to piss off socialites in naught point five seconds. One could accuse me of doing it for the crack alone, but I swear that's not it!

[sand-andwater.livejournal.com]

I don't consider myself a socialite. That's somewhat difficult to do when waiting tables in a little bar on Staten Island. But you said "that breed" as if suddenly people should be shunned because of where they were born and raised.

That's rude.

[winchesterjerk.livejournal.com]

Well, I do that. Being rude, I mean. Maybe that's why some people don't like me. And the disgust, and the loathing, I'm there to save their sorry asses, but, no, I'm just a rude unpolished guy in jeans and dusty car, so of course, they need nothing of me...

Make no mistake, I don't take them for not people. Or worse people, or people to be shunned, or people that I'd do any less to help, if there's a case where I need to. And I apologize if it sounded like that.

[sand-andwater.livejournal.com]

Why be intentionally rude? Don't you want people to like you?

[winchesterjerk.livejournal.com]

Not intentionally, no. Just most of the time I don't think on it either way. And as a rule, we don't stay anywhere long enough that anybody liking me or not would make any difference. I mean, staying somewhere a couple of weeks? That's long, by our standards.
