This is not the Selkie you are looking for. This is not Selkie at all, actually, but Rami, wearing ~~a clown nose~~ a very klevar disguise.

My wife is feeling wibbly and under the weather, and so you all should leave comments here as to how wonderful and loved she is.

Because she is.

Thank you.

Here now: no wibbles allowed when anyone is as clever and literate and capable and funny as you are, Selk medear! I read your journal with interest, your recipes with envy (before I wander in the kitchen to my tried and true vegetable soup and cornbread)and Sam says you're just as wonderful in person as you sound. To say nothing of having RISEN ABOVE IT ALL familywise. You have more of a trial in that department than I have, and you handle it all with probably better grace than I do (my technique there is avoidance.)

Cheer up- you are admired and your journal is enjoyed by the likes of me-who-hardly-even-knows-you: think how much you are loved by people who actually matter! XXX

*hugs * Thank you. I love reading about music and the different gifts of all the children you teach. I couldn't do what you do; I don't have the spiritual fortitude. I salute you for always seeming to see the best in people when you portray them on LJ.

We never really get to talk, but I am a fascinated follower of your Top Chef moments and the grateful beneficiary of much of your culinary wisdom. Also, I still remember your Spotted Dick (treacle pudding for the over-12s) fondly and your hospitality more fondly still.

*hugs*

And you are welcome any time. *hugs* I am sorry I don't RP as much as I'd like, which would give me more of a chance to talk to you. And there is no(t much) chatting at work. But hopefully we'll see you and Mr. Emmy soon!

I LOVE YOU, SELKIE! I miss chatting with you.

Also, my fruitcake plot is still afoot. As soon as they start stocking them, I am THERE.

You know, a fruitcake plot would be one of those 'perfect murder' things. As Alton Brown advises, slice the murder weapon very thinly and serve chilled.

Well, revenge is a dish best served with candied fruit. :D

Alton Brown's fruitcake was worth the price of making it, by the way! It stayed moist for longer than seemed physically possible. It was, however, vengeantly alcoholic.

Sounds like heaven to me.

One really got the sense that there was an inner scaffolding of brandy and rum, stout enough to support all that fruit. (I also pared off the dark, slightly-overbaked-because-our-oven-is-kreppy outer layer to reveal the sort of dark-oak colored eatable part, and it was eminently eatable. In very thin slices.)

Mmmmmmmm. Boozy fruit. My favourite kind!

I'd write you a limerick but nothing rhymes with Selkie.

*hugs all wibbles away*

The other problem with the limerick
is I keep wanting to go
"There once was a selkie named selkie."
I don't think that's right.

*hugs back* You used a great icon, though!

Thank you for your kind thoughts. I don't know you as well as I'd like, and that's a shame. I need to chat more when I'm at home (not allowed at work, and after I stare at a computer all day... bleah)

LOVE TO YOU, SELKIE! Feel better. :D

Thank you! I hope things keep getting better and better for you -- in your health, your career and your personal life. As I've said to a couple other people in comments, I wish I RP'd more so I'd have more of a chance to interact with you.

(I know you exist separately from RP! It was just a great way to always be in touch with my friends! Now I get home from work -- where I'm not allowed to chat, but sometimes sneak G-Chat -- and I just want to avert my eyes from the computer. Also, I never go on AIM because my mother is not above creating a new SN to talk to me. BUT I DIGRESS.)

Love and miss you.

*hugs tight* I love you, Selkie. And I miss you.

I miss you tooooo. Did you read that you need a passport to cross back into the US starting January 27th? It's devastating. N is working on getting one, though.

Love to you. I hope you get good marks for all your hard work this term.

[link] [parent] [reply]

Oh! I forgot to post about that! I AM getting good marks -- one A and two A+ *is pleased*.

I didn't know about passports -- what the hell is wrong with US authorities? *rolls eyes* Does that mean that YOU already have a passport? Or will you have to get one too?

[link] [parent] [reply]

You are one of the most remarkable people I have had the honor of meeting.

Talented and loved beyond all measure.

An' don'cha forget it!

*sniffles* Aww. Thank you!

You should come and get your light-up Christmas present. We could save it for the Vegas trip, but I don't think it would look quite so unique there. (No. We did not get you light-up pasties.)

You are one of our top three favourite house guests. You're allowed to come live in our glorious lesbian commune of perpetual indulgence.

Tell her she must recover, because I miss her stories.

You know, you're not very subtle on certain points. Here, the foghorn fell out of your pocket...

*hugs* Please borrow some health from somebody and come and visit. There are so many tea shops to be tried.

Selkie is wonderful!
Selkie is fab!
Selkie OMG so talented!
Selkie is a master chef like whoa!
Selkie makes me nostalgic for latkes!
Selkie inspires respect for the liberal arts!

... respect for the liberal arts? Man, I didn't know anyone could do that anymore.

*hugs* I cannot send you latkes (I suppose I could send latke mix, but that's kind of sinister) but would you like some cookies, or a jar of homemade mincemeat to make tarts with? We're baking this weekend, and it would feel so nice to send you a gift that didn't involve onesies. (Although Sashimi Baby's gourmet alphabet onesies are high on my list for Young Master Sparky.)

I hope you have an excuse to come out here again soon.

[link] [parent] [reply]

I don't really know you, but you're a splendid writer, and you were very nice the one time we did meet... (Yes, I'm channelling my inner awkward 12-year-old, but the intention is good.) Feel better!

Thank you! And you are doing something I really, really admire, by the way.

[link] [parent] [reply]

*hugs*

It is a good and loveable Selkie.

I am late because my body is trying to kill me, but... love! You are a strong, interesting and fabulous person, and I am so very glad I know you.

Also, your cat.
