I have friends I've known for thirty years that I know less about (and who know less about me) than I just learned about you. That's how we've stayed friends.
But I have a few thoughts: the best place I ever went on a date in Winnipeg was an RWB performance. I had review tickets, since I was reviewing the ballet for The Manitoban, and she liked that. My favourite girl's name is Sorrel, followed closely by Chloë, which are my daughter's first and second names. And although I have never saved an IM chat, I was tickled to learn that she saved a couple of ours and posted them on her blog. I drink tea, with milk and sugar, I cry more often than is wholly reasonable, I have fallen off chairs, beds, tables, ladders, and fences (yes, plural, for all of them), and the last person I sang with was my wife -- a few days ago. I used to sing professionally, so I'm pretty good. She hates the way she sings, but I think she sounds nice, and I still have the biggest crush possible on her after twenty-five years of marriage; I write her poems every year for her birthday, our anniversary, and Valentine's Day. Our eyes are blue, I think Gunn's bagels are awful, and the music I am listening to right now is some lovely fragments of tunes by Joseph Bodin Boismortier (a contemporary of the sons of J. S. Bach). I live in Toronto (but not for any particular reason). Now you know what's worth knowing about me.
Why, Why are you people doing this and what evil villain sent it to you. Mercy - mercy no more!
Amphimacer: I like you more and more. What was the RWB performace? I like I should try to get into ballet. Maybe after I conquer the world of opera. And the world of jazz. What type of music did you sing professionally?
Mandy: Something wrong? I would have thought these glimpses into our lives would warm the cockles of your lonely Cost-Rica-living heart.
cockles = cookies
when i read that last comment. ha. oops.
tom, that's not a good enough reason to be afraid of someone. copycat.
mike, I love 'cockles of your heart'. great expression. I think I'm going to go look up the origin...right now.
mandy, you should do one. all the cool kids are doing it.
All I did was follow my response with an ellipsis and a related comment. Maybe I'm just trying to hide my real reason.
Edward Scissorhands had a heart made from a cookie. Or mayhaps that was symbolic.
And . . . Mike, you've never been to a FAIR?? You've never experienced the too-sweet, fiberglass-textured cotton candy while sitting on a hard plastic seat of any variety of shapes and sizes, going endlessly in circles for no apparent reason? Never smelled the sweet scent of puke on a fake pirate ship swinging back and forth for no apparent reason? Or experienced the endless rows of inbred carnies yelling for you to come and spend 50 dollars on a stuffed animal that's worth 50 cents? While being bombarded by annoying electronic sounds and violently flashing and clashing lights??
Wow . . . you're . . . really not missing out on anything good.
Was that an Aimee Mann quote I saw? My opinion of you just went up a few notches. I've been avoiding blogger like the plague lately bc I'm too lazy to write a real entry... hopefully I'll get on that soon!
