DJ, if you're around, I hung out with KR last night and had a grand old time. I so adore her - thanks for making the intro back in March.
I'm so glad! I wish her sister weren't in Seattle for a wedding. I'm sure she would've liked to have seen you as well. But, yeah those two are really some of my favorite family, and we're the closest cousins in age, so we pretty much grew up together during those magic summers/holidays at my grandparents. Daddy was the one who taught them how to throw a football.
the most important rule is "Just do something."
On more than one occasion I have written "I wish there was an emoticon for 'sitting quietly nearby'". Because the emotions conveyed with various forms of virtual hugs... well it is a warmth and closeness, but sometimes you want to tell someone you are there, you are with them... except, of course, you aren't in the same time zone.
Also tons of ~ma for Drew and Pix. I can't even imagine how scary that is.
I used to have phone fear. Working campaigns killed it though.
I agree, but it looks so weird. Not just because of what I'm accustomed to (because I always have to think about it) but because the comma just sort of dangles when its outside an endquote.
Hmm, maybe it's a guy thing then. We are used to dangles. ::snerk::
Argh, no! You're probably joking about this, but seriously, that would cause me to click away IMMEDIATELY.
Yes Kate, that was a joke. I'm an idiot, but not that big of one.

We were able to catch Kara before she left- hung out on Thursday night!
Was back at Nora's by 11 last night, but was so revved from second-lining that I didn't fall asleep until 1 or so.
Man, I totally did not hear you come in! You must have missed us going upstairs by like 2 minutes.
I can tell you that it meant SO MUCH TO ME just to have someone say that they were thinking of me, or drop a card in the mail or send an email. You don't think of it as anything big, but I can tell you that it means a lot to the person.
You guys were so great when I lost my dad. Meatspace was good, too, but you guys laughing and crying with me and sharing stories with each other about my dad was amazing.
