| Well, a happy birth-day to you, Spectral Specter. 13 years is a long time, isn't it? In fact, it's exactly 13 years long. Astounding how things are what they are.
A very merry cake for you.

I do apologize if it's leaning a little to the right, but I counted the candles and there's the proper number of them. Choose your flavor.

| Kidney, you say? Is that the required cake flavor?
Well, anyway, three or four cheers for Spectral. I wouldn't be where I am either without him, because I'm in his birthday topic, and if he didn't exist, we wouldn't be celebrating his birthday...

It's crazy, really, how these things work. Almost as crazy as I am, and that's saying nothing. | |

| Dear Friend. We have known each other for a very long time now, since Kindergarten. In this time we have shared and passed through many phases, perhaps being children one of them. We are now grown up. Mature, no. But we are still very tall and masculine and manly hoo-rah! (<--No name pun intended) In any case, you know I took an Art course last semester and I've spent all night working on a little sketch for you. I hope you understand that our friendship has been and is very special. We are brothers in arms, tweedle-dee and tweedle-dumb, Bonnie and Clyde (I'll even let you be Bonnie!). For these reasons and more, I wish you the happiest of birthdays. We are not only celebrating your day of entering this world... But also the beginning of a friendship that is destined by fate itself. Here, old friend... Here is your gift. - Spoiler:

I thank all of you guys for all you've done, even though it seems like there won't be much more. D: It's sad how little activity there's been, but now I have cake and a jacket with no tie, which makes me feel a little better.
I wish I knew what to do to help this site, if only for you guys and the response I get once a year.
You should all know if you need me, I'll jump right in.

| @AF, that brought (happy?) tears to my eyes even though it totally wasn't directed at me. @SpectRaKy, we ALWAYS want you around. You are after all one of the founding Codrexians, and who(of) know(n)s where we'd be without you and all the stuff you've done. But on the depressing note of less activity... If you don't mind, I'll talk a bit about that right now. (If you do mind me babbling in your birthday topic I'll just move this to a blog post.) Decreased activity comes in part because our members are not a unified front. We, meaning all the Codrex Magna members, can be (vastly) oversimplified to fit into a few categories. - Spoiler:
- The Classic Codrexians. This includes me (Wally), SpectRaKy, Arty/AF, and probably Morgoth/Olorin. If I'm feeling generous I even include Iraemancer or Tobi/Vaish de la Saint in this category, but they generally go in the next one.
- The Neo-Codrexians. Although not "classic" because... Well, because of ARBITRARY CLASSIFICATION... these have been the heart and/or soul and/or ridiculous catalysts of the site at times. They include such distinguished personages as Nuparu, Sykura, Ghost/phantasmicAssassin, Scodonius "Scoddy"/Umbramancer, and possibly/probably Vaish de la Saint/Tobi and Iraemancer.
- The Acolytes. These are the people who joined Codrex Magna for one purpose, and usually one purpose only. What that reason is depends on the person, but they are fairly many. This includes Toa of Mirrors, lhikan435, Avail, MimersG, CrewSoulReaper, and Hothead.
- The Spammers (and Semispammers). Pretty self-explanatory. Pavithra194, kokonohp, MartinX-ariethAD, and I-See-Sounds seem to be normal spammers. RahimBhai probably falls into the latter subcategory.
- The Unknown Quantities. Exactly what it says on the label. Jasper, Kiddo, and Terminator3000 are the members in this category.
Fidemancer, Maestro, and Stargazer do not fit a particular pattern, although I suppose Fidemancer could go into the Acolytes, and Maestro and Stargazer could go into the Classic Codrexians?? The Classic Codrexians are ill-defined...
ANYway, the point was that with all these different members, there are few things that more than a couple people like here. BIONICLE obviously everyone is aware of, but that gets no discussion now. SOaHY is pretty cool (if I do say so myself) but gets updated slowly. The Tale is possibly the most wide-ranging thing - would an RPG work? BUT IN ANY CASE, ENOUGH ABOUT THAT FOR THE MOMENT UNTIL SOMEONE ACTUALLY CARES. I apologize if this post is not very accessible/legible/lucid, as I was/am tired when I post(ed) it. >_> Hope you had a great birthday on the actual day-of, SpectRaKy. May I inquire as to the loot you raked in?[/colloquialism] -|W|G|- | |

A very happy birthday to one of my nearest and dearest (minus the 'one of'), Lord Ra Hannah/The Spectral Mask/That-Guy-Who-Likes-Purple.
I wish you a fun-filled day of excitement and merriment, despite my habit of accidentally the snow today... But much like the U.S. Postal Service, you shall enjoy this day without being hindered by any sort of precipitation!
Happy Birthday, friend.

I'm sad to say I have no good gift of any kind to you other than goodwill and stuff. But in that vein, I guess I can give the gift of stoking the hearth where the FIRE OF GOODWILL TOWARDS Y'ALL burns, even if Y'ALL is technically not "MEN".

| Belated birthday salutations to you, Spectral Mask. I can still recall our first crossing of paths, more than three years ago. You have certainly changed since then; as we both know, it is not given to me to change greatly, so I have not.
I do not recall if you were ever made aware of the existence of this small and colorful emoticon I shall attach below, but I edited it in your honor nearly three-and-a-quarter years ago, and allowed it to languish in my folder of emoticons for a lengthy time. If you have not seen it before now, then I shall call it a birthday present and leave my contribution at that.

| Today is once again that special day, where a friend grows one year older and we all become slightly more knowledgeable--however obscure the knowledge might be--as a result.
Today is a celebration of our friend Rah, Ventimancer, The Spectral Mask.
No matter what name he has gone by, he leaves us in his trail, confused, dazed, amazed, and sometimes covered in debris from burning buildings but that was one time in Bolivia and we don't like to talk about that you know what I've already said too much nevermind.
I credit to him being my inspiration for my writing, my hobbies, my personality. He truly is like a brother to me, something even stronger than blood.
so yeah happy birthday I guess | |

I'm really looking forward to the day ahead - a LEGO Movie, Outback Stakehouse's chicken fingers, a selection of the finest new bricks that our friends in Denmark have released the past few years, and a Bunt Cake I have been reassured is free of Portal references. And I can pledge an exceptionally confusing year ahead! | |

A happy birthday of happy birthdays, o Great and Spectral Mask. I'm sorry I'm late with it today, unlike in some years previous, as my internet has been throttled back to the point where I can't even load email.
But enough about me - YOU'RE SEEING THE LEGO MOVIE AND/OR CHICKEN FINGERS! The center of your Bundt cake is assuredly not a portal. If that were the case I would wave hello through the portal and trust me, waving hi through a cake? Not a good idea for anyone concerned.
Now you old friend and ally, it's time to MAKE this year confusing. Oh yes, it's time to get our reality all mixed up.

And thanks for teaching me how to spell Bundt cake. I can personally vouch that 2014 will be an exceptionally confusing year, to the extent that anything and/or everything I do confuses you kids.

The happiest of birthdays to you, O Spectral Mask, whom it's strange to think I've known for over half a decade now. May you have what you want on this day, including further wisdom Arty expects of you. I look forward to another epoch of your greatness. P.S. I feel younger knowing you're only 18. -|W|G|- | |

I nonetheless thank you both for your encouragements, and would wish you both the same; Wally, I will always affectionately recall you as the critic I will always strive and never come close to pleasing, and your giant red X through ancient precedents in my writing glares at me every time a new project begins, regardless of my continued defiance. Arty, best friend, I hold your esteem in high esteem. Your mirth, insight, charisma, and know-how have been imperative to my childhood, and I can only hope you will continue to lend your talents and gifts to be in the future. Cheers, friends. | |
