    I sat at my computer for hours earlier today wondering what I was going to write on this post. I never came up with a single sentence. It's fitting, I think, because you mean more to me than I know how to express. My life, in tangible and intangible ways too myriad to mention, is so much better for having met you.

    Now here's a picture of shirtless Daniel Craig:

    Also, from time to time I will be contributing counterpoint essays to the Team Cat Headquarters blog. They have assured me I will have editorial control in all of my pieces. I assure you if this is not the case, I will resign my tenure as contributor.

    Tom Servo's mechanical heart, Flat Earth TrutherRebecca "Burt" Rose

    If everyone will allow me to be weird for a moment -

    I've been a lurker on Jez for so long. SO LONG. I read and loved and felt all of the feels right along with everybody, the Saturday Night Socials were my favorites. I can't explain why it took me so long to just, you know, make an account so I could comment. I guess every time I felt compelled, by the time I'd started taking the effort to make one, I'd wilt. Eh...no...nobody needs to hear me or my opinions, why open myself up to criticism, etc etc.

    Burt, you were one of the ones that made me think - this is someone I want to engage with, talk to, hear from. These are people I can talk to. I'm an introvert (and while I have a husband and friends...I promise, really!) it's very difficult for me to just let it all hang out, even with my friends. This has become such a safe space for me, and you were a big part of that! I feel a little bunny-boiler being like, mwahhaaahaha you didn't know I was reading you all that time but I was! - but i think it's basically just a testament to how great of a writer you are, how funny and compelling and smart.

    Kudos and mazel tov :)

      Ditto Ditto Ditto... right through to the starting to comment and deleting because I was sure no one would want to hear me.... I still don't comment much but that I comment at all is a big step for me and no small part of that was because my favourite commenter became a full fledged writer on this site

      I remember when you were on Groupthink back in dickety-four and I told you my story about meeting Burt Reynolds at the mall in Florida and we totally bonded IN MY MIND and then you became a writer here and I was so proud LIKE I KNEW YOU WHEN and well, I'm not OK.

      Everyone's fucking leaving. Not cool.
