Remembering

I've stolen this from Dame Droiture and Salient73, and I quite like it. If you feel so inclined, act upon it!

If you read this, if your eyes are passing over this right now, even if we don't speak often, please post a comment with a memory of you and me. It can be anything you want - good, bad, neutral, random, or whatever. When you've finished,

So many memories of kind and wise words, little surprises in the mail, and the couple of times we actually met, but the one that sprang to mind was...

Months ago, when I was hurt and sad and lonely, we talked on the phone for almost two hours. Because my cell doesn't work in my house, I went outside and sat in the playground across the street. And for that brief time, it was as if there was no distance; I was sitting in the sun with my dearest friend who offered comfort, sympathy, wisdom, and a healthy dose of humor when I needed them all.

By rights, you should be a casual acquaintance, a friend of my friends, instead of the important and wonderful part of my life that you've become.

I attempted to go back to all my early early posts, when people friended me and what not, in order to find the absolute most perfectest comment from you -- and then I realized that well, you've been around making absolutely perfect comments for quite a while. ;-)

You're so sweet! Now we gots to meet in person and do something wicked and clever to create a nifty memory of when we met!!!

The only *legit* memory I may have is leatherstocking introducing us at Walsh Library, but I refuse to accept that. We'll need another. so clearly I have to come to that wacky 18th C conference y'all go to every year.

OOOOOOOooooooh! Do! Do! Memory creation is mui importante!

[ramblingregina]

I echo the Dame and the Wombat in deploring a lack of legit memory here! We all need to make a point of trying to go to New Orleans next year for SCSECS.

Sounds good to me! Like I told the Dame, there is a great need for wacky crap to transpire between us!

[ramblingregina]

The Dame and I are good at attracting wacky crap!

Geez, woman, where to start? So many memories that come to mind involve your beautiful smile and your obvious joy in living and listening to other people. A very clear, random one is sitting in Cool Beans, seeing you come in the door, and feeling very warmed by the huge grin on your face when you caught sight of us.

Watching you and the H.A. share some private joke while leaning over a seaside railing, watching the seals galumph onto the beach. The way you whole-heartedly played with him -and- seriously listened to him was a delight.
