"all these pictures of you..."
It's been weeks since I've written here - so before it becomes a full month, I thought I'd do something out of character for this journal, and post a survey. (What can I say?

Sometimes I really dislike the word limit on LJ postings. Sorry for all the spam entries but the system had me break them up in order to post.
I got your voicemail, just trying to think of an appropriately Pink response to hearing your voice. =)

Wow. Wow, I'm so happy that you did the whole survey. I must say, in response I have about 1,000 different urges to nudge you, hug you, tickle you, tease you, kiss you, arch an eyebrow at you, cry with you, laugh with you... You get the idea. I've been well enough to be more socially active, in steps of sorts, recently - and this has also led to me thinking of you a great deal. Not just the plans we're making, for when your being not away for work overlaps with me being fit for play, but just - everything.
We sure do have an amazing history. And there's no greater joy, for me, than knowing - really feeling - that history continue to grow. Maybe I'll make a list of responses to this amazingly massive survey later, or maybe I'll bring things up randomly, but for now:
I love you. I miss you. And maybe if we use enough stardust and willpower, we can meet in our dreams tonight - since it looks like it's gonna be a bit longer until we meet in literal three dimensions. Along with the stardust, I'll be sure to bring the kitties! ;)
p.s.: Hey, you just answered my question about loving Spam. Cuz if the above many posts could even be called spam... well, then I guess I love at least some form of it! xxxxoo.

okay, allright, and p.p.p.s.: You know I've always thought your hair would look amaaazing in a deep, sweet burgundy! I could find you a very nice, high-quality burgundy-mahogany blend, if you'd like me to do the honours - I myself am making the very daring decision of swerving from pure pink to lavendar with hot and deep pink stripes and tips! (Oh, which also means I'll have extra purple - and some random left-over blue-purple - if you go for highlights instead of mahogany! I say it's about time you dove into this one particular dream, bebe.) And hey, we both know we can just shave our heads if something goes wrong, right?!
okay... I'll totally start responding to your answers point-by-point if I let myself, so I need to stop typing for now. Oooh, I miss you so much! Kisses & kisses & more kisses to you, darling.
