I had already saluted you on the Birthday Thread, but then I remembered, you still are a Mod (I think) so that entitles you to your own thread!
(And even if it doesn’t… you’re one of my best friends here. AND a very nice human being. You more than deserve your own, in my opinion.) 
(And yes, VE is still around. Or at least, he isn’t fully gone yet. I’m trying to get him to participate again. But that’s his choice.)
But darn, now I gotta find ANOTHER gift for you. Guess another Valkyrie Profile art piece will do. A happy one to balance the other one:

May this day be full of joy (and presents) for you! ^_~
Happy birthday Valkerie Esker I’m not sure what to get you but i’m sure I will think of somthing. :moogle:
Happy freakin’ birthday, you crazy bastard you. Hope you’re enjoying my present.
Wow, it’s Val’s birthday. Congrats on getting another year older, mate.
I would have got you something, but I’m not big on the whole gift giving, so oh well.

Oh, VE, I was gonna get you something, but then I didn’t. So there.
You don’t leave completely.
