Drexxie, Dahlink,
Oh, no, no, "dahlink" is kazoo's schtick. Allow me to start over ... ahem, ahem! ... Mi-mi-meeeeee ...
Drexxie, baby,
Fine to take responsibility for what you say, but don't let it weigh on your consciousness like the famous (former) "Two Fat Ladies" and six pounds of lard. It'll only give you a heart attack.

Fine, fine -- back in the day when they all hung out in the agora. For a modern version, "We are alone, until we leave the house already, meet someone, and try to get them to understand what the hell we're trying to say."
You're capable of that. I can tell. But don't sit around waiting for the Understanding One to arrive at your door; you'll only get a Jehovah's witness.
Yes, And we all love Willow. Ain't she the best?
Keep on writing, Drex. Start some more threads.

PS -- Somehow I think you might like the book, "Alexis," by Marguerite Yourcenar. Do you like novels? She is interested in the effects of words in a similar sort of abstract way as you are.
