When I became a full time Downer, I promised myself that I will be a proper Downer and never forget my deathday (it's like forgetting New Year!

My twelfth deathday was this past week. I am immensely fond of you all, and twelve years is too short a time to be dead among such excellent and admirable wights.

I'm so glad to have met you all. You guys are the best people in my life right now. ![]()

Anniversary of date joining the Barrow Downs. Since the Barrows housed wights and as a new members first. Post count related title is "newly deceased", we say we died when we joined. And in the busy old days it really could take over your life

When I scrolled to the bottom of the page, I saw that it's morm's birthday, and I felt funny, because I was sure I've wished him happy birthday recently. To test my sanity, I skimmed through the last few months of the birthday thread to see if I mistakenly thought that someone with a similar username was morm, but no, I did not post that anytime recent. I decided that time flies, and then realized that I once again missed my deathday, and if it wasn't for morm's birthday, I would miss it completely.

I seem to miss my death day every year, possibly because my brain is seven years rotted and can no longer keep time. Here's to knowing you fine corpses for many years to come!

Luckily, I have a memorable death day. The 1st of September. However, I can't guarantee that I will remember it when it comes around.

Happy deathday sally! I think you're not in too much trouble; last year I almost forgot my birthday.
![]() I remember the date of my deathday, but I believe I only actually remembered to commemorate it on the day itself once. I think most people here remember the day, or at least month, or their deathday, but it just kinda floats by without you noticing.

Looks like I missed number seven. Has it really been that long?

Another Deathday for me already? Fourteen years! It's amazing that as much as has changed for me in that time, this cozy old barrow is still here.

I've been meaning to post on this thread all week -
guess what day it was on Monday? My 10th deathday! ![]() ![]() That's so strange, I mean I definitely remember thinking that my 10th anniversary will be in 2014 and being like "pfft... I will be so old then!" Great. It does comfort me though that some people are even more decomposed than I am. *lumps lots of belated congrats at Inzil*

Very happy deathday to Lommy and Inzil, who are both remarkably more decomposed than I am.

I have just noticed that the Downs was restored on my Death Day. How cool is that? 13 years among you clever and handsome sorts. Cheers.
