you should just come back and stay, ok? not because you miss NYC, but because you feel sorry for NYC. One less cool person, means less charm......
She's also forgiving and impossible to hold a grudge against for more than five minutes - I tried many times growing up, but soon there's always something that we needed to talk about, so the fight was forgotten.
Also she comes from an incredible family - her parents and sisters are great! (Ok, fine - I'm one of them. But I'm my sisters' biggest fan, so don't ask me for the dirt)
hmmm...where would i be without your
amazing friendship? possibly better off
and cooler....but more likely miserable
and sad and just longing for death. you
can never quit barnes and noble because
my world will crumble if you do. i've been
thinking that we should make a cool
certificate and hold a ceremony for steve
making him an honorary white guy. i
think he'd really like that...that crazy
chinese maniac. peace out and thanks
for going to sleater kinney with me....it
was the best date i've had in a while.

misfortune to know Liz... Everybody is
lucky to know her, but it's totally whack
I can't work with her anymore, and miss
her. It is my sincere belief that Liz is
destined for greatness. She is one of
those people you meet and instantly
you think -- "whoa, this person is
smarter than me!" then you talk to her
for five minutes and you don't feel better
because you were wrong, you feel better
because you were right! She can drop
science on you about ANYTHING -
Arcane, or fly by night... and has the
charisma to sell her ideas. Anybody
who can get ME impassioned about an
issue regarding gwen stefani should
really forget writing, and politics, and
start a cult. But thankfully, and luckily
for the world -- Liz won't. She's the only
dealer of "Applecrack" in manhattan,
and her girlfriend is one of the
handsomest guys I know. Women on
average live 6-8 years longer than men,
and in Liz's case, I'm not jealous. She is
the sauce that goes with
nobody's business. She'll weave
you through so many trees you
won't remember what forest you're
in anymore. But later, weeks,
months, you'll find yourself trying to
recreate her story for your friends,
relatives, and failing miserably.
Elizabeth is passionate -- don't
watch State of the Union speeches
with her! But her passion is
beautiful and educating -- I've
learned so much about politics,
pop-culture, movies, and myself
from being around her. She's also
cute, funny, gorgeous, sexy,
adorable and the love of my life.
