I don't know if I've ever flat-out told you how much you're important to me. We met over the stupidest of all things -- I had some funny animation thing in my signature. And then we talked, talked about hacking, talked about noobs, talked about our intelligence, talked about friendship, talked about life. We talked. We were both the biggest grammar Nazis in the world (although I've definitely eased up on that). "Me either"... XD
I found that log of my favorite quotes from our conversation, btw. Remind me to send that to you sometime... has your PM box expanded? I might try to PM it to you in a few minutes. Or maybe I'll just VM it. Or maybe I'll blog it. I dunno. You were the original inspiration for that first blog that I posted - the one with me thanking everyone for their impact on me. Wahey! You've been a bigger inspiration to me than you have ever thought, probably. You kept me here, you kept me sane, you kept me enjoying life. You told me a secret, once, and I swore I'd keep it. Maybe it's just me, but I still sort of view that secret as the means that glued us together. You've been with me for all this time, and I really miss the days that we used to spend entire days hanging out and just chatting over whatever. We talk sometimes, but damn I miss the old days.
This page has had 41,041 visits... Reminds me of rep and when we sort of had an unannounced competition to get more posts and page visits than the other, and I sort of pulled away as soon as I got my mods. And I'm really not sure why I ever got mods instead of you, especially since you were MUCH more qualified and everything. You were an excellent mod, imo. But really, more than that... you've been an excellent friend, and still one I'd trust with anything and everything. I really just want to quote from one of those "thanks for everything" blogs that I had posted:
And also this:
I really hope we get to catch up sometime. See you later!
