Oh Laura, that's lovely!
Anyone seen erinaceous around? Apparently she's giving a seminar at a conference I'm going to in March.
I'm not sure how old he is, but I heard him use the word 'newfangled' one time, so he's gotta be pretty far gone.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Laura, I didn't find that stalkerish. And Suzi, I imagine that any teacher would like to know that they made a difference; from what I hear, so many of them often feel like they're working at something that's necessary but aren't appreciated.
In a related story, years ago I read in the news about a man who'd made his career in the fire department (New York, if I remember correctly) and got an invitation to a high school graduation. Turned out that when the graduating student was a baby, he'd saved her life and she wanted him to know that not only had he saved her, but that she was making something of that life. It struck me as a nice story.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

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, Andi!
When you've got a moment, I fully expect a report on whatever adorkably cool birthday thing Daniel is even now plotting on your behalf (or has possibly already carried out).

If there had been other out-of and post-school contact, I guess it's not so odd. I still twinge a little when people from the past suddenly say, "Hi, I remembered you and spent a fair amount of effort to find out where you are now!" Your willingness to be pleased when people suddenly appear from out of your past may vary.
