Lot to read, huh?

Yes! I'm here, I'm here!

Gosh guys, I don't know what to say. First off, thanks.

If I weren't smack dab in the middle of a massive painting project I'd get back to each and every one of y'all right now.

Gimme a couple hours to wrap up what I'm workin' on and I'll come back to play.

Thanks everyone. You made my day.

You never noticed?!

He's had Fancy up there for a while now

No, not Nathan. Dan.

Lothan said:

OMG!

Nathan is an amazing person and it SUCKS big time that I have to be so far away from him.

Nathan, I couldn't ask for a more incredible brother in law. I don't think I have ever told you that you have a way of calming me which isn't always an easy thing to do, yet you do it effortlessly. I've been feeling really anxious lately so I am probably overdue for a Nathan fix.

Thank you for being so thoughtful, generous and loving. I hate that Ian and I are away from you - we cannot wait for Christmas.

I'm honoured to be your sister.

Lothan said:

Ivy, Ivy, Ivy.....

You know you stole a big ol' piece of my heart the moment I met you 3 short years ago. And I can't imagine my life without you in it either.

I know I've told you this, but it always humbles me that you've been willing to make the trip all the way here just for me so many times now.

That Megabus deal you've sussed is where it's at! I'm thrilled that we've already had 3 fabulous times together this Spring and Summer and that we have at least one more coming up very soon.

You too are one of my most cherished friends. Thank you for you and thank you for this thread.

Color me convinced! I'm almost certain now that I'm gonna try to make it for the week. And I can't think of a better way to finish out my summer.

And you don't owe me a thing, Lil Yanna. The countless free nights in Chicago more than make up for any debt you're imagining.

You are in for one helluva week and I'm just thrilled to be along for the ride.

Never met the guy, still he managed to touch me.
Completist. check!
Deep thinker. umm...errr
Funny. my favest compliment
Amazing taste in music, that often resembles mine. Except where The Beatles are concerned.
I'm not sure where you got this. I ADORE The Beatles. You have me mistaken for my bro.
Has a fun brother. Eens!
Highly unneeded shyness in front of camera's. It's in case I get famous
Has an amazing sister in law. who you must meet, even more than Ian & I
Miss Tron. me too!
I also miss;

maybe I'll bring 'im back
I am not coming to Chi. Even though I just got asked by a bud of mine to come over, though. But wish I could. sell the computer!

I've had the pleasure of knowing him since about 1994 ~ we have a rich history. One of the most recent ~ in March, I had a total knee replacement and a bone graft. Nathan moved me into his house with my dog, Paris (his dog Indigo's litter sister) for five weeks while I recovered. He and his partner (I'll leave this private unles they choose to reveal) were astoundingly kind to me. To call the time I spent there Sanctuary would be an understatement. In addition to all of the caring, nursing, emapathizing with my pain and fantastic movies we all watched, Nathan threw a gorgeous birthday party for me cooking the most fabulous pasta (his trademark dish). The accolades here are so deserved. He is light and kindness. When I hear the phrase "Wander free, gentle spirit", it always leads me to Nathan. And, he has amazing musical taste (and is a most generous sharer) and a wicked sense of humor. My Nathan. n

I'll be there.

And you know I feel the same way.

I've gone from knowing nothing about you prior to Tamar to feeling like we were separated at birth in no time.

A few of my best friends I've made here, but I don't know if I've ever met someone who shares as much in common with me as you do.

An extra special thanks to Anxy Chris for being the social butterfly that he is and introducing me to such a great guy!

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

Wait. What's going on?



Gee. What have I done to deserve this?

Thank you for the high marks. But I could tell from when I first met you and probably even a little before that the new you was already waiting in the wings ready to burst forth. You give me far too much credit. Your trip last year was definitely a catalyst and I'm more than glad that I could help you in your transition. But pat yourself on the back a little too, my friend. You've come a long way in these short 13 months.



We were all a little worse for wear that week. All I remember is Wendy.

Your avatar impresses me greatly!

Now I'm playing the jealous bitch!

Anxiety said:

Well, there was that time where I made you carsick after we got lost leaving Ivy's while you were rolling around in the backseat hearing !!! for the first time. That couldn't have been much fun.

I'd love to talk shit about you too, but I'm coming up dry.

It sucks being flawless, doesn't it?

CarrieMpls said:

This is true. Carrie and I go back like dirt and dust. That's my homegirl right there.

CarrieMpls said:

duly noted.

CarrieMpls said:

And dancing with you is always among the highlights of my life. We should really try doing both at the same time. Instant world peace!

I'm so jazzed too that I'll be seeing you 3 times in one summer.

First for 7-7, then for the Anxy move, then for the festival. It's on!

HamsterHuey said:

Horrible tease, you are!

And now sporting the Mr. Secret Socks avatar.

I'll never be an angel

Again, thank you everyone. I'll be back for more tomorrow.

But for now I must turn in. I'm sunburned, paint-splattered and utterly exhausted. And I only got through page 2!

GangstaFam said:

You see, this is where you should have taken a Photo Whore® Opportunity, damnit.

Did you wear a blue overall?

I killed my own thread.

GangstaFam said:

We'll be in Toronto 2 weeks from today!!!!!

And you know I'm up for a dance any time.

CarrieMpls said:

I can't believe my retarded ass isn't gonna be there

JEALOUS!

GangstaFam said:

No blue overall?

HamsterHuey said:

Sadly, no. Too f'n hot!
