I am glad to hear from you and glad to hear that your birthday involved massive amounts of chocolate and that your Aikido buddies are encouraging you to keep doing it and that you have cuddly kitties and that you are working on writing.
And as for everything else, I am glad you are keeping us updated, and I will keep praying/crossing my fingers/sending good vibes your way.
Love you back, Jade! I'm so grateful for friends like you.
Wildcat's English class is reading Romeo and Juliet, and I wish she could take it from you. (Wildcat says, "Yeah, the comments would be in all caps, like "NEED A COMMA HERE!") So far all the kids do is "translate" the Shakespeare into modern English, which is boring and stupid for an honors class. Wildcat says, "It's still written in English. You just have to listen to the words in your head and you know what it means." Was hoping for more literary analysis and less "oh you poor babies, you can't possibly understand this unless we make it painfully clear and you understand every line."
(...so I told both WP and Quark about this, and their responses were, "Wait, your penchant for capslock is that famous?" Whereas my response was, "NO YOU GUYS I HAVE BEEN WRITING IN CAPSLOCK ALL OVER THESE PAPERS." ...h--how did she know.)
I say she should start a conversation about how Romeo is just dumb. Reason number a bazillion that I found recently: Romeo uses oxymorons to complain about how Rosaline doesn't like him, Juliet uses oxymorons to go OH GOD MY NEW HUSBAND JUST KILLED MY BELOVED COUSIN WHAT DO I DO. /sigh /Juliet probably should have just married Paris
Yay I'm so glad you got lots of chocolate for your birthday! Everything is better with chocolate. I haven't eaten any in a while because it makes me feel odd but hopefully that will pass soon.
I was talking to Penguin the other day about you and the kitties and how when I needed cheering up I would think of the days plotting ET over email and look at the adorable photo of Figgy and Teco on the chair. Awww! I am glad you have cute kitties and awesome Aikido people.
I'm so glad you're feeling better. What's the old novel about?
It's nice to hear from you. *glomps* Much love :-) and cookies :P
Wow, this post is powerful in so many ways. I can only hope "old" college friend is affectionate and not an actual comment on age (since I fall into that category myself). I know ... how can I make this all about me? Hard, in the face of your eloquent writing

I'm hoping the gummy bears have some unknown ingredient that'll help get your counts headed back in the right directions.
So are you finding the old project at all inspring or at least distracting?

Happy belated birthday from me, and I hope the chocolate was absolutely divine. Bouillon, pish. Chocolate's where it's at.
Keep us updated, please (most particularly on the novel)! All my love, for your belated birthday!
PS: Good luck with the haircut- it's never easy to find a new style. Grr.
