I, for one, am never leaving your side. I am stunned that in the seven years I've been here, we have never connected until recently. Mind blowing. Maybe we weren't ready to - people meet when they need to.
Your wit, including your ability to tell me to fuck off, is delightful, your turn of phrase lovely, your interest in ideas that make your brain zing, the runaway chains of your conversation about art, philosophy and pizza have just charmed me.
I am so glad you are here. I will always be jerking in your circle.
Eww.
It is a pleasure to constantly poke around (and see inside) that head of yours, which is cracked open like a Isa Brown's hijacked eggs, thrown into a buttery pan - through your words, through your comments, and through your choices to expose all of these things.
The next time I head out to your neck of the waters to visit my sister in law, you best expect a visitor knocking at your door - and we'll share a few real pizzas, and real wine, and not some sort of fiendish, hive-engine token manifestation of the good stuff.
Until then, continue being glorious and leaving a trail of insight and wisdom wherever you may go.
