Royko: Thank you, babes.
I was bowled over by your lovely compliments but maybe even moreso by the compliment of your honesty. I realise you need to guard your own boundries and your defences. On the whole: and sometimes especially in dealing with my manic frantic, sleep-deprived Lemur-brain. But don't think you don't give me enough warmth. You've been a great great friend. You've brightened many dark nightly hours, gave me your special brand of chuckles and jokes and maybe even a wheezy laugh or two.  Someday i hope to return the favour. ~You are a *Taverner*. Sometimes patrons want to go where everybody knows their names, though it helps when half of them are named John. When people want to celebrate, or commiserate, they gather to your establishment. You provide the atmosphere, the warmth, rum, and even an ear to bend. Did I mention the rum? Years before the language will be mangled with terms like facilitator and networking and interpersonal communication, you've overseen it all, and broken up a few bar fights, to boot.~ -Royko |

awww, miss joccy. thank you so much. i'm cynical enough that i don't really believe in happy endings any more, but if one comes along, i'm not gonna let it go, you're right.

And now a pause for a word on methodology:
I can't cope with the entire list, it's just too long. And as much as I know everyone likes to see their own names in these things (I know I do), I feel like I'd be doing you all a disservice if I just wrote "Great avatar" or "Your spelling is always so creative". So I'm trying to limit myself to entries where I actually have something in particular I want to say, usually something that I've neglected to say up until now. If I don't write about you, you shouldn't read anything into it other than I didn't feel I had anything to say worthy of your attention, which speaks more to my lack of imagination than to anything you have done. I am trying to write things for people outside my current circle of interaction, in some cases because it's the people I haven't interacted with that I've never expressed my feelings about, and also because I don't believe in insularity. However, people I do know from IM and real life (and I've met quite a lot at this point) are easier to write about. If you do want to get to know me better, please feel as though you can. There's no secret handshake or anything. I'm shy, especially at first, so it takes a bit of perseverance, as most people who do know me will attest, but it's not a Herculean challenge. And if you're wondering why I haven't taken it upon myself to get to know you, well, *points at the shy thing again.* But please don't all IM me at once, because any more than three IM conversations going at one time makes me want to curl up under my desk. You're all a great group of people. Lastly, I've divided my entries up into subheadings to make it look like I know what I'm doing even though I'm clearly just making it up as I go along. Don't read anything into these either, other than that I am a big silly dork. Which is usually the best response to me. |

Thanks, Motley Hippie! I feel like I don't interact a lot anymore, so I'm always surprised (and inordinately pleased) when new-ish people know me and even find nice things to say about me! Though clearly, you are more -ish than new by now and firmly belong here. Anyway, thanks!

My fondest memory of Royko will be sitting across from him after he and Lan chose a whole bunch of songs on the jukebox and watching him delight in the fact that I liked the songs they chose. Does that make any sense? Watching you groove and sing along made me want to do the same thing (and I rarely sing outside my car)
It was a joy to sit and sing in that bar and I hope that I can do it again someday.

Royko, thank you. It was worth the two-year wait
You're really very good at this Project stuff._____________________________________________________________ Don't you realize? The next time you see sky, it'll be over another town. The next time you take a test, it'll be in some other school. Our parents, they want the best of stuff for us. But right now, they got to do what's right for them. Because it's their time. Their time! Up there! Down here, it's our time. It's our time down here. That's all over the second we ride up Troy's bucket. - Goonies |

*mutters about not being able to sit straight for two hours* *wanders off to nurse lingering headache* oh, wait! *comes back* that's not what I came here to say. (I am easily distracted by shiny objects. if I wasn't a cat in a former life, I was a magpie.) Babs: thank you. I'm not so sure about me, but you are absolutely one of the pillars I look to around here. I'm lucky to play in your sandbox. Joccy: everybody loves cookies. I'm counting on it as part of my devious plan. and thanks. *hugs* Hippie-lady: I'm sorry to confuse you, but I confess that it amuses me, too. but hopefully it'll pass as we get to know each other better.~ We're just babies making up a game, if you're right.

Royko, you legend
consider the first beer on me. "The other night I dreamed that King George VI was dead, and that Helen Hardinge had somehow or other got herself proclaimed Queen of England, and that I was detailed to go and tell her that it wouldn't do at all; and when I did this, all she said was, 'You see, I am really Queen Mary,' and I said, 'Oh very well' - words to that effect, and woke up. Last night I dreamed that Eisenhower came to stay with us, and he insisted on being put to sleep in the dog kennel, with a collar and chain about his neck." - Sir Alan Lascelles, 19 February 1980 |
