(No, not the poop
Oh lord, I have to stop fixating on that. Okay. I’ve stopped. No more. Now on to the best subject ever: You guys!)

How often have I said that the people who read this blog are the coolest people ever? Hm. Well, I probably haven’t said it all that often, because well, when do you have the opportunity to slip that into conversation? “Hey, mom, did you know that the people who read my blog? The blog you don’t even know exists? Well, those people are the coolest people ever!”

Not only do you read my crazy mental meanderings and not judge me (or, if you do, well, you don’t tell me about it, which is just hunky dory with me), not only do you put up with endless posts about poop and actually offer help on that, not only do you actually seem to enjoy my hairlessness, but you’re all pretty damn spiffy writers yourselves. I love reading your blogs (well, those I know about *coughifyou’rereadingthisandIdonthaveyoulinkedyouaresupposedtoletmeknowsothatIcanlinkyoucough*) and I feel (okay, this is weirdly mushy and perhaps strangely geeky? I don’t know) kind of like we’re all buddies, you know? I mean, I wouldn’t just show up unannounced at your door at 3 am and expect you to let me crash on your couch (yes, this has actually happened. And I actually let the person stay. Of course at 7 am I was like “You’ve gotta go now. I’m leaving for work. You don’t gotta go home, but you can’t stay here”), but yeah. You’re my friends! Whether you like it or not!

Sigh.

On the same vein… A few weeks ago when I was having a mental breakdown about not having any money and not being able to pay bills and all that stuff (insurance STILL hasn’t kicked in, the arses… I don’t suppose it would make them go any faster if I went to their offices and started begging for spare change?) a couple of you were nice beyond my wildest dreams. I never imagined that people I’ve never even seen in real life would do nice things for strangers like moi. One such person requested that s/he be left unnamed, so… Unnamed Person, thank you. Another person didn’t request that she be left unnamed, but didn’t request that she not be left unnamed, so uhm… Thank you, Heidi! There, if you want me to take your name down, you have to tell me.

And Calla? Thank YOU!!! I got a wonderful little package from Amazon today– a CD that I’ve been dying to have, but we haven’t been able to afford extras in… eh, forever, let’s say. So, thank you Calla, because having a little something new in your life is just a really nice treat. Yeah, can you tell I’m totally into retail therapy?
