i figure life isn't like nicotine or alcohol where if you stay out of it for anywhere between 48 hours and 18 months, it washes itself naturally out of your system. who would've thunk it? laurence knows what i'm talking about. if i don't leave here, i will die. but in the meantime, please, enjoy me, enjoy our conversations, enjoy our laughter and our time together. by all means, feel free to care for me if you feel compelled to do so. and know that i care for you, too. i guess in the spirit of the thanksgiving i never had... i am grateful for... a roof over my head and food in my stomach. the ability to take care of myself and the people around me, most of the time at least. for the people in my life: my mother, with all her strength and all her time and all her intelligence, made me want to become a strong and independent woman. what was more, she made it easy to take strong women for granted. my brother for being a whole world to me when i had no one else to turn to and no one i felt i could trust. if it weren't for him, i still wouldn't be able to love or trust anyone. kaileen for making me see my own potential, for letting me take the step between admiring her and becoming her equal. she get me out of my head and into my skin. scott, though he's no longer with me, is still important to my life. through his eyes i see beauty, love, life and everything else i wish i could give the world. AC for reminding me of who i used to be and reminding me how much i loved every second of it. more for understanding the way i am without judgement and without confusion. barney for being to me the sister i never had, for appreciating my other life, for realizing that the balance between us just isn't something that "happens". andy for being her self, for accepting others, for, without even realizing it, teaching me so much about good karma. for letting me in her family's home, for sharing with me the things sacred to her. shamlawi for being the brilliant inspiration she is. everytime i see her smiling i feel like it's easier for me to smile because each smile makes her that much stronger, and it makes me that much stronger, too. laurence, for giving me reasons to live, for reminding me of people, for reminding me of things that i'd chosen to forget because i was better off forgetting them, for kicking my ass when i tried to kick my own ass. for being the most singularly beautiful person alive in the world today. for making me want to be a better person. for making me become a better person. danielle, because she doesn't give up and doesn't let anything or anyone stand in her way. she's driven and motivated and passionate in her endeavors. but also, she proved me wrong. joe, because it's easy to be myself around him, and respect him at the same time. when i'm talking to him, i can be flaky, forgetful, absentminded, scatterbrained, but then i can be perverted and silly and hyper then serious and deep and nostalgic, and sad and angry. there've been few people i could be myself around in that way. i'm glad i met another one. of course, as my luck/bad karma would have it, he lives on the other side of the planet. |

cowboy67 | *noon for the tater tot*, 11-29-04 12:34am faygo, you've always been there to listen when i had to piss & moan about something, and you introduced me to my other half, all while helping me learn all kinds of great things about you, about me, and about the arab world! like i've said before, you put me in a good mood just by being there. you're a great person and an amazingly understanding friend. i'm glad that i have helped you as you have helped me.
