I'm kinda proud of this.

Just call me gran'f'er. I sit in my accustomed seat in the shade of the chestnut tree. My face is a withered apple. The tip of my long white beard keeps dipping into the froth of the tankard of Old Peculiar that I keep balanced on my knee.

Ah, the times that I have seen!

Awww! I would have been your friend, darling! I myself feel like I'm a kajillion years old all the time. And then, you know, I break up with a fiance and cry and fail a test or something. [Giggles]

Birthday is coming up!

You're sweet.

But it's remarkable how friendships spring up on LJ which would never ever- for all sorts of reasons- be possible in "real life".

Oh, I know! I don't think I will be going back to Europe any time in the near future. But now, what better reason to visit than to meet all the wonderful people this community has provided me with?

I am really happy to have met you, by the way. I think you are right, I don't know that we would have been friends without this wondrous little world--and what a sad thought! You light up my days with your insightful entries!

Abd I am so pleased to have met you too.

Perhaps we are making a new and better world.

I don't know whether we are making a better world, as "better" seems to be more and more a relative term to be applied in retrospect while boasting 20/20 vision in rose-colored hindsight.

However, we are letting the world know us and in so doing, are every day collapsing wavefunctions and causing chain reactions like ripples all around us. That, I think, is wonderful. To affect and be affected. Good, bad, whatever. Ours--yes.

Yeah ripples.....

And we're not in the least bit limited by space. Something written in Australia can have an immediate impact in L.A. or Frankfurt.

We are changing the way the world works....

The world is the same, we are changing the way the people are working it! [Smiles]

Precisely!
