Mar. 7th, 2004 10:22 pmWas calling the fam but they had tohang up for a few to have fam prayer before Dad leaves on business, so I ducked in here for a bit.
Today was dead. Absolutley dead. I gave up on Robin Hobb once and for all.
I had a nice but quick chat w/
claireyfairey1 and then tooled around a bit more.
This evening things livened up. Tyler MSNIMed me and we talked a bit. I realise most of the people who read this only know Tyler through my rantings about him...and he can be terrifically stupid and closed-minded in some ways...but he really is my best friend. I was trying to explain to him...Amy is my best friend, comrade-in-arms, blanket companion and sister. But he is my best friend just after her, my defender, my older brother, my comforter. I never need to doubt his championship of me or his devotion to what he believes is right. I trust him as I trust only a very few people. I love him for all the right reasons, and so I can battle against his faults whenever possible and ignore them when not.
Then
redknight_38 got me on YIM and we had a banter or three. I've only just met him, though I've known of him for a long while, and getting to know him has been a pleasure and a privilege. It is amazing how easily he keeps up with my mental processes and fires back everything at me. Amiel, thanks for the chat!
Then I called home. When did my little sister turn into a person? And ME, at that? She's seven and is using phrases liked "when he offends me"--fully aware of my loneliness and scolding me for not trying harder--being teased for reading too much (that was SO me)--has her own place in the second-grade power structure--to boot, has a tomboy friend willing to kick the butt" of her foes. Was I this much of a grown-up then? She's finally got to the age where I can remember not just what happened to me, but how I happened to it, how I was. And...I'm so proud of the little person she's become.
Oh, wow, long, must call fam back, flying...
