You, my dear, are far from mediocre.

I'm sorry about the visa/PhD/NZE stuff. I was really rooting for you to have wacky adventures down under. But sometimes getting your brain back together is more important. I would know; I'm deliberately not doing so and hoping that eventually I just explode.

I approve of non-zombie you, at the least. Psychotherapy is a tough slow road, but even small bursts of achievement are positive things. Please take care of yourself. I might be a dreadful old curmudgeon, but I still think you're the bee's knees.

The driving thing is just crap. But that's not really all your fault, so fuck them.

Also, you're 32, which means you're about a tenth of my age, so no sympathy here. ;-)

...so, them wives, huh?

*only somewhat soggy cuddles*

I was rooting for the wacky adventures too. I was going to see cute critters and be all Independent. At least, that was the optimistic hope. The more realistic version would probably have included a few break downs and some screaming. (There was also a zombiepocalypse version, because you always need one of those.) But it really was a hair-brained, slightly mad idea, at a not particularly good moment in my life (see also: all of it) so it's for the best.

I'll have to nuke my professional email, though. I shudder to think what's in the inbox.

Please don't explode. I'd be sad if you exploded. Also, I think you're the dog's bollocks, so there. (That's a good thing, right?) Ancient dog's bollocks ;)

...but dem cars tho.

Your cuddles are always accepted, regardless of sogginess level.

The zombiepocalypse scenario probably would have involved mostly sheep. Which makes me wonder whether zombie sheep still make wool, and if so, can you have a zombie wool sweater? Because I think I want one.

Cheeky professional email. Full of madness and despair, like turkey bacon.

I'll try to hold off on the exploding if I can. But I eat a lot of cheese and bacon, so really, the odds of my heart just bursting from my chest with a final gasp of energy and saying "That's it; I'm done" are ever-rising. Hopefully it happens while I'm stuffing bacon into my gaping maw.

I'm going to pretend that dog bollocks are totally complimentary. Even if they're ancient.

...but dem trucks tho?

Well then, here, have some soggy cuddles. Or a sleepy high-five.

I think you could get zombie wool, but possibly only once (technically dead sheep wouldn't grow new wool once they've been sheered). So if you manage to sheer a sheep (say that ten times fast) without getting bit and zombiefied or ending up with guts on your wool, then you could have a zombie sweater. However, such things may be dangerous to wear.

As for your poor little cheese-wrapped heart bursting from your chest, I can't believe you're making me be the one to bring up the chestburster. In compensation, I'm also bringing up this adorable muffinburster.

...we'll say nothing about the, uh, pastry...burster...thing.

Aside from being some bizarre English expression, dog's bollocks is also beer, wine, room odorizor (????), and even a pub. So it's totally a good thing.

...dat flamethrower tho!
