True friendship occurs not in the number of friends a person has, but in the value of the person. You are someone I am more than happy to call my friend. Someone who cares enough about me to sit with me for 8 hours while I'm sick....then calls the next day to check on me. Willing to make the effort to be a friend, and not just a random person in my life. A sweet interior hidden by a sarcastic, verbose exterior. Lives for the moments. Amusing. Creative. Makes the most of life. Happily opinionated and open to suggestions.

C.S. Lewis wrote "Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art... It has no survival value; rather is one of those things that give value to survival."

You are one of those people in my life.

Just sayin'

Masque is the best boyscout ever. he listens to me. he laughs with me. he does the best Swedish Chef impersonation on the planet. he is spontaneous, smart, silly, passionate, playful, everything i love best and then some. he gives great smooches. he has just enough Southern gentleman in him to make me feel at home, and none of the aspects of the South we both fled. his cooking is amazing, he defends me from the dairy of the world, and never makes me wash the chicken dishes. he knows his way around a toolset as well as a rose garden. and you won't find a better, more attentive, loving Dad. he is loyal, gorgeous, generous, and a million other superlatives. as a special bonus, he knows how to spell superlative, as well as any other word in the dictionary. (tip: do not challenge this man to Scrabble. but UNO is a different story.)

his love is constant and unwavering. he is the best boyfriend a girl could ever dream up. i love him tons and bunches, times a zillion, plus lots more, just for starters, and i can't imagine my life without him! xoxoxxxx! MWAH!

I can't help myself. I'm leaving random testy-moanials on everyone's card. Let's call it This Week's Project.

I just met you and I got three words that sum it up:

passionate
talented
focused

To a brother or comrade, compatriot and homey-in arms, letters, fingers, and spirit:

Masque is a consummate man of letters. He abides by the Raymond Carver dictum: get in, get out, don't linger. And the other rule: No tricks! Now, if he was only awarded tenure!
