seedlings

for k, who, upon learning of my situation, promptly passed me a copy (giftwrapped, y'all!) of the new yorker book of literary cartoons and oscar wilde's the birthday of the infanta complete with a note reading, in short, something along the lines of "because nothing beats the breakup blues like refreshing and reaffirming your intellectual superiority and misanthropic views on the world" -

for grace, who not only has the most beautiful house, but really knows how to throw a tea party -

for the unfortunately acronymed g.f., who showed me the exact bus seat in which michelle chong's horrible, flat whine (yes, it's a personal vendetta; shut it already) is effectively drowned out by the worrying scream of loose bus parts (though i really should've recognised the seat earlier from the heavenly glow surrounding it) -

for arthur, whose constant reassurances and entertaining segues have made the minutes that much easier to get through -

for j, who forces me out for supper and cycling and puts up with my singing, and without whom i would indubitably have starved a good three months ago -

for the people who sent me condolences upon hearing of the death of Another HamHam -

for m.n., with whom i have the most hilarious Themed MSN Chats (see, for example, a short excerpt in the archives on april 8th. the topic for the night was "bodice rippers", if i remember correctly) -

for jh, who quickly and very rightfully concluded that drugs would indeed solve a lot of my problems -

for bel, who is always ready to lend out a shoulder, a hand and other assorted body parts, along with a (kinda skanky) tissue -

for k (again), who demanded a second entry for being, horrifyingly enough, the first and only person (whom i'm aware of) to spot the incredibly unsubtle reference to madame bovary (madame NOVARY? "No ovaries"?!) in the advocacy lectures -

thanks.
