I don't have many friends. That is a fact. As a result of transfer, relocation, quittings, and my own sense of unbridled self-entitlement I tend to either lose friends or chase them away. I do consider Michele to be one of my great friends, however. She has the proper mixture of compassion, intellect, attitude, and fervor that makes for a great human being. Go read this post and see if you do not agree.
Fortunately Flynny will be attending the Jekyll Wreckyll. A great opportunity to meet a great person. She is, as they said in Freaks, One Of Us.
Let me offer a hearty second on that reading recommendation. I was positively teary-eyed after reading that post; quite a feat, making a heartless bitch like me mist up.
Quite a first week for her blog. Miss Flynny is the bomb. One of Us, indeed!

Posted by: BeeBee at January 8, 2005 9:49 PMI'm like you in that regard, for sure, though my self-entitlement's taken one hell of a beating in recent years (except for shoes). You're right about that Flynny, alright...
Posted by: maura at January 9, 2005 12:50 AMFlynny is good people. I am anxious to meet her and to see whether we might share some horse-thieving relavites from the old sod.
Posted by: Jim - PRS at January 9, 2005 5:28 AMI'd say she's definitely "my" kind of people.
What she wrote took a lot of heart and courage to share.
I was touched and moved.
I hope to see her in Jeckyll.
