Hi everyone. I hope that this finds you well. I know that I sent out millions of individual posts (okay, that may be a slight exaggeration) thanking you for your thoughts, but I would also like to send out a collective thank you. Many people on this list have become dear friends to me, some of whom I have never actually *met*. Thanks to all of you for your support and kind thoughts over the course of the last few months. It really does mean a lot to know that I have my l'il sinister massive with my interests at heart. I love you all. So, you read about how my Christmas went...i shan't go into that again. i am happy to say that 2003 started of nicely! On NYD I met up with a sinister....he just happened to passing through my neck of the woods so we met up for lunch. As I am sure many of you can relate, though we know we will at least have a fondness of B&S in common, you still never quite know how you will get on with people once you leave the confines of cyberdom. When I met Ken Chu (I have never been so starstruck in my life!) and Dirty Vicar (who really is a vicar indeed :o) I had several emails, or, in the case of DV, several months of emails, to go off of. When I met this boy on NYD I knew nothing. We had corresponded for a week and that was it. As luck would have it, we got on swimmingly. We met for lunch, he then invited me to attend the cinema with he and some friends. After he assured me that none of them would mame or disfigure me, I readily accepted his invitation. We went to the cinema, then on a salad and *fun* game hunt, then watched a DVD.....then some other stuff. It was a lovely evening/morning spent indeed. i hope that all of you had a nice time. You deserve it. No, really, I think you're ace. super ace even. Anyway, I have taken up so much of your valuable time already. I shall away now. The Mighty Mighty Bosstones are on the radio...I really hate the Mighty Mighty Bosstones.....It creeps me out that they have a guy whose soul purpose in the band is to jump. how do you allocate royalties to someone like that? hmm....i wonder... Trying to keep faith in a relaxing 2003... ~stine __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail Plus - Powerful. Affordable.
