Hey thanks!

I know who you are... you're in that group with maybelater and supergoat and vintagetoaster (or that's how you're lumped in my mind. I check up on you quite a bit. :)

I am a dork and I read your LJ all the time.. I like to know what's going on with The Jude! Although we have yet to meet face to face.. I have known you for years and I think you are wonderful! I am proud of your life decisions, and your struggles, as well as your courage and strength to keep going even when times are rough. I think of you often and I think you are the smurfiest! Thank you for being such a wonderful friend. :-) <3

I LOVE MY LITTLE SISTER!!

[cathboblet.livejournal.com]

Your openness astounds me, because I play so much so close to my chest. Whatever moment you're in, you're in up to your nose -- be it physical, emotional, spiritual, political . . . more words that end in 'al'? That's a remarkable quality, to experience every inch of what's happening in your life, be it for good or for ill. You're thoughtful and analytical, turning everything over like a well rounded pebble, charting the places that are smooth and pleasing, and the parts you wish the ocean had done a little more work on before turning it over to you. You become your own little ocean over the rough parts sometimes -- a regular hurricane of working working working at the problem that's presented itself, until it's fixed, or until the path to fixing becomes clear.

You're generous and just, passionate and funny, with a wicked sense of humor and a gregarious nature. You take people in with a leap of faith and a confidence that's unique. People excite you with their possibility. You're fun.

You're well loved, and love well in return. That is, as they say where people know something about something, smurftastic.

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

Cath, I don't know that I deserve all of that. Seriously. Especially when I've been so focused on irritations and difficulties.

I wish you lived next door to me. We would have a heck of a time, wouldn't we? We would convince Laura to move, too. Oh, the trouble we would cause!

The more I read of you, the more I want to keep you close to me forever and ever. You are such a shining star in my life. And you're good for me ego. ;)

[cathboblet.livejournal.com]

I've been so focused on irritations and difficulties.

First, life gets irritating and difficult from time to time, and there's not a thing wrong with noticing it and wanting it different.

Second, that's just you being the tempest over the pebble. :) Look at the job thing -- things were not as you had hoped, but you turned that around and made a whole new plan for dealing with work. Your focus on irritation and difficulty is a means to an end, much as I'm sure it feels like a hamster wheel sometimes.

And last -- haha we would RULE as neighbors! Mercy, that would be so much fun. And who knows, as the grand drama of the job search shakes out this year, I might end up your neighbor after all.

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

I agree that we would be great neighbors. I would love to hear all your crazy stories and I'm sure it would be fun to rehash some of mine. And the wine, Cath, Oh, the wine we would have! :)

I'd like to think I have a pretty healthy sense of my life and that I handle disappointments with some sort of panache, but the sad truth is that I'm starting to realize that I really don't handle any sort of change or aberration from "my plan" well /at all/. And as soon as insurance kicks in around my birthday, I think I shall "treat" myself to a birthday trip to a shrinkydink.

Somehow I think that things would be so much better if I were just drugged through it all. ;)

[fatfeistyfemme.livejournal.com]

I wish you lived closer is what I think of you! I totally want you as a friend.

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

If you weren't so settled in the Notorious PDX, I would tell you to come live in our guest bedroom.

I want to get to know you more!

[fatfeistyfemme.livejournal.com]

lol - well, having them occupy a room in your home is definitely a way to get to know someone. Coffee might be a little less intimidating! ;)

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

Bah! The great Stacy can never be intimidated!

[fatfeistyfemme.livejournal.com]

LOL oh girl. If you only knew how wrong that was.

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

Hey, I can have my fantasies, right? :)

[saldemonium.livejournal.com]

I wish that I lived closer to you, because you are a nifty-cool person, whom I like a lot. You have opinions that I value, and a sense of humour that tickles me. I'd love a chance to just hang out with you. You, and Jen of course, are right near the top of the list of "people to invite to my wedding" ;)

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

YAY! We would be so honored!

[(Anonymous)]

I want you to tell me you love my in your husky lesbian voice.

[(Anonymous)]

I meant me! Tell ME!

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

*slurp*

Meep bleep.

[luloubelle.livejournal.com]

I think you're the coolest, and you are my favorite person on LJ. :D

Someday I'd like to meet you and your grrl.

I'm really shy in real life, though, and would probably just grin a lot.

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

We could go to the beach and hang out, just have a great time. And we could wear our matching pants. And take pictures for our mothers. ;)

[scirocco.livejournal.com]

I think you're one of the most honest people I know, and very caring about the people you love. I also think you worry too much about too many things, and need to remember that most things in life turn out OK in the end.

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

It's true. I worry about everything. And I make little things into big things. So that I can worry about them more. Really, I don't know what I would do if I didn't worry about everything and get worked up about even more. Probably just die. ;)

I need to be medicated.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_epiphany_girl_/]

Hmmm... Let's see. I think you're hard working, smart, charismatic and a little neurotic.

We could be sisters!

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

Only a .little. neurotic?

You axed for it...

[kjtoo.livejournal.com]

First of all, there's no denying your rock star status. Hell, you're practically a cult.

"Drink the Kool-Aid," said smurfchick, her voice the soothing coo of a mourning dove. "You'll like it."

As one, we all lifted the paper cups to our mouths. I guess what saved me was the last-minute realization that it was grape Kool-Aid. As throngs of smurfollowers slumped to the floor around me, I thought of that night so long ago when I had eaten the Butterfinger and drank the grape Kool-Aid and almost made it to the toilet before vomiting.

You need to be a rock star, too. As much as you need food, air, and hot, girl-on-girl action, you need to be admired (or, at the very least, acknowleged). That's not a bad thing, though, because there's a lot about you to admire.

As has been said before and will undoubtedly be said again, you are an extremely open, honest, compassionate and caring person. That, combined with a quick wit and excellent communication skills, is what keeps people (well, me, anyway) reading your LiveJournal.

You've also got a tendency toward emotional basket-casery when things aren't going as you planned. You can go from extremely psyched about something (e.g. moving to Boston) to extremely neurotic about it and back in the time it takes me to refresh my Friends page. It's The Young and the Restless crossed with The Golden Girls (minus the geriatrics).

I don't always agree with every one of your social and political viewpoints, but I do appreciate that you have viewpoints and that you express them and are able to have a rational discussion about them. I admire you for that.

What little I know about social work, I've gleaned from reading your LiveJournal. It is my unqualified opinion that you are very good at what you do. I also think that you should make sure you're in the best job for you, in terms of both finances and satisfaction. Whatever you do, you'll be helping people, and there's nothing wrong with finding the best possible situation (for Jude) in which to help them.

Finally, you're "wicked queah" in the best possible sense. As with anything else, you're open and honest about being (and what it means to be) teh Gay. You've almost got me convinced that I couldn't "cure" you with my impressive and infallible Dyke Intervention/Conversion Kit.

Re: You axed for it...

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

Now now, you know I would convert for you if your wo-man wasn't in the way! ;)

Seriously though, I'm not sure I know what to say. I don't think I'm quite as deserving of "fame" as you say, not even a little bit, but I appreciate what you've said. I hope that when things settle down a bit for me here, and I have some modicum of stability and a sense of solid ground, I can work on increasing my fan base and bring Judetopia to the northeast!

I still say you are by far one of the most creative people I have ever known. You are amazing!
