That is a beautiful word~ ♥ How is it pronounced? PEH-tri-kor? peh-TRI-kor? PEH-tri-chor?

*checks* It's /ˈpɛtrɨkər/. I like how it compresses all that meaning into one word.

*glomps you* How are youuuuuuuuu?

8D Words are awesome like that!

^_^ I'm okay! *glomps back* ♥ Can't complain. Well, I can and definitely do but for the most part, my life is pretty compact. XD I've got a job, as annoying as it is... I've got friends, even if most of them are online... I'm in relatively good health, aside from some lingering jaw and dental problems... I've got food and shelter and minimal financial expenses so I don't have to worry about money. I'm very lucky, and very bored. XD Security and boredom versus risk and adventure, I guess.

Can you believe it's almost June?! It's been almost exactly 10 years since we met!

I'm glad most things are good in your life. Generally it's the same for me. I'm sure I complain quite a lot, in my own head or to my mom or friends, but I should instead count my blessings. It's hard, though!

Gahhhhhh, that makes me feel so OLD! My mom teased me a couple of weeks ago and called my upcoming age a "quarter-century" and I very nearly squealed with rage and incredulity. Somehow I still feel about 15 or so, which is madness. But I'm so glad we've held on to each other this long! There's only one other of my friends with whom I maintain semi-regular contact that I've known longer. *huggles you* Let's try for at least another 10 years, okay? And maybe one day meet in person! ^o^;
