♫And if California slides into the ocean, like the mystics and statistics say it will....♫

I'd be missing two of my favoritest peeps, especially today, since I now know they share a birthday!

Up in NoCal is one of my longest-lasting connections in this place. Not as prolific as some, but as interesting, and well-read, and better-written, as any. The man who redeemed Merrick in my mind from the curse of Amy Fisher (and had the good sense to leave it years before I left the next town over)- happies to sturgeonslawyer:)

And down in SoCal, at the other end of the Antelope Freeway, we have the slightly mysterious, but ultimately solvable, bringer of all things poppy and cultural. She fits those same parameters of prolific, interesting, well-read and better-written. I learn so much from her, steal a good chunk of it for what you see here, and wish her nothing but happiness and a double-double cake from In-and-Out (even if it isn't, technically, on the menu). Hugs and happy thirties to shadowhuntress:)

(Sorry about the earthquake reference, btw. I swear, it wasn't my fault ::runs::)
