Not Aimee, but I've heard Marianne Williamson say that.
In fact, I've got a ton of her cassettes to pass along. Must make a plan.
Just keep walking, preacher-man.

Spike's Bitches 33: Weeping, crawling, blaming everybody else
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
It is Marianne Williamson. I heard it in Akeelah and the Bee, but it was attributed to Nelson Mandela there. It is much longer, but I had to edit so it would fit here.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
It is Marianne Williamson.
I don't know who that is.

Mostly lurking...
I don't know who that is.
She wrote A Return to Love, which have both in book form and on book on tape. Here's her website: [link]

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Happy birthday, sumi!
If I had your phone number, I'd have my brother call you. He's really good about birthday calls, and also sweet and good-looking and newly single. So, really, even better than your own actual brother calling you.
Though now I feel like a heel for even joking about such a thing...he just filed for divorce on Monday, and I feel awful for him and awful for not feeling more awful for his wife -- they've been together for a decade and married for seven years and yet she's always been so emotionally guarded that I feel that even after all this time I barely know her. To joke around with and go out for drinks with, yes, but really know? Was never able to get remotely close, not in all those years.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SUMI!!!!

My SiL is the same way. I love her, I think she's sweet, and her sense of humor is more sly than you'd guess just looking at her, but she doesn't ever open up. Eleven years later, and we have a hard time having a conversation of more than two minutes on the phone if I don't do all the talking.

We ate the cake all up in one sitting. It was THAT good. Particularly for a grocery store bakery. A white cake with strawberry filling and whipped cream frosting. (Filled with actual strawberries. . . that's what made it so tasty.)
