I think we've taken over crackchat numerous times, and threadjacked the back room DE posts relentlessly (I sometimes wonder if that's why neenie suddenly stopped talking to me).
Birthday notes are always welcome from you. I think you know that I immensely enjoy talking to you about anything and everything.
I have been thinking of you, but we don't know each other that well, so I felt awkward checking up on you. I'm so sorry about your mother.
I hope you enjoy this. Perhaps it will make you laugh in a time when you need a laugh.
As for a memory, I remember long and involved conversations about comics, so I've missed your reactions to my recent posts. I did finish Bendis's run on Daredevil and loved it; I'm moving on to Brubaker.
I also have a gift for you from Comic-Con.
I would say happy birthday, but that just seems wrong, so I will simply say, be well.
WHERE did this MP3 come from? Oh, god, PRICELESS. I stopped by the Red5 booth at Comic-Con, and the guy gave me some free issues. My friend and I did a dramatic reading while waiting for dinner. I'm glad you enjoyed it! Even though I misread the ending.
I HAD CRYSALS! CRYSTALS WERE INTEGRAL!! BAH! IF YOU DON'T HAVE CRYSTALS!!
You have a gift? I'm...wow, I'm touched that you thought of me. It's something I saw on my way out and thought you'd appreciate. I can mail it to you or give it to you in person sometime. The advantage of being in the Bay Area! One of them I mailed and another I got to hand-deliver in Boston.
Hugs for kids in hard places. My dad's been in and out of the hospital for cardiac stuff in the last two years, and every time I get that phone call I'm afraid it's going to be the last one.
My positive memory is of some time ago on your lj when we were admiring that giant gundam, I was so proud when you said you'd consider signing on to my side if you hadn't already allied yourself with mercuryeric.
It also cemented my love of the idea of a model of the SDF-1 to the point where honor now requires I build it, even if my future finances require it be *slightly* less than a 1-1 scale model.
Oh, god, yes. The PHONE CALLS. I dread answering the phone now - every time it rings, I pick up, and if it's a family member, I find myself demanding right up front if it's bad news. The phone is a major source of anxiety for me right now. The way I deal with it is to just not answer and then check my voice mail at a designated time during the day. Except during a crisis like this - now I'll answer, but I'll get an adrenaline surge when I do so.
In other words, I totally relate.
Oh, wow, you were proud that I'd join your side? :-) I didn't know you cared so much! (And I totally would join your side - we need your analytical brain!)
If you build it, they will come. (I mean that in a multitude of ways, and eww, I just squicked myself out.)
You have always been there to bouy me up, to make me feel like a million billion dollars when I'm down, always with the affection when I need it, and for that, I adore you, and always will. I wish I could help somehow, honey, I really so do.
As for a specific memory, Matt Murdock and Jennifer Walters legaleagle!snark is how I first met you, and you know, in my head? You look a little like a Jade Giantess with a friendly smile and a firm backhand for anybody who gets out of line.
The adoration is mutual, honey. And there is stuff that you can do to help. Knowing that you're out there and that you care means a tremendous amount to me - I can feel the bear hug from three thousand miles away. (That's what I need - about ten bear hugs from you. I'm not getting any hugs from my family, and it's left me very brittle and fragile right now.)
Matt and Jen were win. As were Jenny and Pete, no? (I still occasionally go back and read that thread.)
I would give you just as many bear hugs as you and I were able to handle right now if I could, honey. You deserve more than that, you deserve to have somebody there to lean on when you need it, and someone to bare their teeth and attack for you when that's what you're needing, too.
Jenny and Pete are amazing, Matt and Jen are amazing, and so are Clint and Jen, and whenever you're up to it, and want some good old fashioned fun distracty-style RP, you just let me know, and I'll be there with bells on.

I remember the first time we more or less took over crackchat with comic book conversation. Fun times.

BEHOLD THE PULPY FRUITS OF MY VASTLY SUPERIOR INTELLIGENCE!
I HAD CRYSALS! CRYSTALS WERE INTEGRAL!!
