I have several IRL friends here, many of you met in the last decade or so. specially through 'dinner club', Australia/Aus comics, the Asylum, work, etc. But today I had a wistful moment where I was thinking of three of my fondest friends who I've maintained over time and distance. Two of you are here: - Patricia [not on here] - aka Perchishm aka my Insignificant Other - Christopher @octothorpe@mastodon.online - Your and her numbers are both in my "So I've Died" book, sorry. Also I realize this sounds morbid, in the context of this toot. LOL I swear it's not. - Steve @steveriggins@mastodon.social - You live too far away to be in my Death Book, so count yourself lucky add exempt from duties like deleting my browser history. :) I love you all so much. ❤️ Even if we rarely see one another, I hope you know how much you all mean to me. ❤️

@tankgrrl@hachyderm.io @octothorpe@mastodon.online @steveriggins@mastodon.social Nobody with any sense would delete your browser history without making a copy for themselves to be sure they’d not missed out on any gems.

@tankgrrl@hachyderm.io @octothorpe@mastodon.online ok now that I am awake, I can respond properly. I love that your kind words are not forced. I will saber them forever. Our friendship, since the Palace days, has never been Luke warm, there is no eVadering that fact. We are two nerds in one escape pod. We even survived Jabba the Godfather and that day on Hoth. I will always chewish your friendship. Maybe someday we will get a chance to go Yodaling. Stay you, always.
