their words and actions carry more weight, even when they shouldn't.

And, this might just be me, but they also hold less weight.

For instance, Joe always tells me I'm beautiful, but it usually means more coming from someone else.

This might just be my psychotic-ness.

ETA: Not on purpose, but because we love them so much already anything we percieve as a 5 badness from stranger goes up to 11 when it's someone we love.

true dat. In fact some of things that Matt says - if a stranger said them , I'd just give the stranger that "are you insane" look. When Matt says them - I can go as far as questioning my whole world view. (only briefly - but just long enough to push me into insanity )

Owen - that was funny. and horrifying. and funny.

no room for toys on my work desk - too many crafts and picture books.

Apropos of nothing, JZ! I ran into your sea-shanty-singing friend Walter last night as we were walking back to our respective apartments. Actually, I ran into him in front of Columbus Cafe and we talked as we walked back to our respective apartments. Anyway. Small nabe.

I believe Matt when he says I am beautiful. But I also beleive that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Although I sometimes work hard on the first impression I want to create ( esp when going somewhere as wife) I really only care what Matt ( and slightly more importantly, I think of what I look like)

Camel tea pot

For instance, Joe always tells me I'm beautiful, but it usually means more coming from someone else.

You're beautiful. *mwah*

Very small nabe.

I have a Mr. PotatoHead at my desk along with some other toy shaped stuff, but I'm at home, in my pj's, so the recollection is fuzzy.

Aimee is teh HAWT.

MWAH!!

And ok - really want that darn teapot now.

I have my gorilla Scoal the Destoryer (a present from the lovely Tom Scola), who would be happy to join in with the other toys.
