^^ This is in response to the lovely testamonial Miss Artemesia wrote me.

Not knowing much about her, I skimmed through her blog entries, hoping to learn something.

What I learned in about 10 seconds ( I may be wrong, I did only skim):

1. She is in passionate-crazy (pardon the expression, but it's her word -->) godfucking love.

2. She likes lollerskates.

And the merest glance at her photo album will give one the realization that she is a beautiful young lady. :)

Best wishes,

Art is amazing. Really, that's the best word I know that comes close to encompassing the awesomeness that is Artemesia Keith. She's a total geek in many ways, and that's just one of her many great qualities; she's also intelligent and kind and adorable and sweet and caring and welcoming and compassionate -- and there are many more wonderful things about her.

Did I mention she's freakin' gorgeous? Sexy, too. Oh, God, is she sexy. I'm not falling head-over-heels for her yet, but someday I could.

She speaks French, too! I love French-speaking people. I envy them a little, too, as French is the language of my soul, yet I can't speak it to save my life.

I hope she stays in my life for a long time. I haven't known her for terribly long like some other incredibly lucky people have, but I love her. Well, I love everybody, true. But Art . . . man, there's just something about her, along with all the things I mentioned before. I believe, in fact, that she's not just a "lucky" find. Oh, no. She's a blessing, really and truly a blessing. I know, I'm pouring out my soul here. I can't help it, I suppose.

She's frickin awesome. The way she dresses and shows up unexpectedly and is funny and yeah.

She = Rock. I mean "Rock" as in "Let's make out.""Rock." as opposed to "Inanimate object that lays there and does nothing but when you glue squiggly eyes to it you can sell it for money".

Mmhm. She's great. :)

A charming young lady, resilient and strong. A wonderful dancer, a techie at heart, and a creative soul. Art is one of the few people who I feel lucky to have even met, regardless of our friendship.

A great lady, kind, gentle, pokeable, squeaky...

Oh and she's a marvelous dance partner when she's not attacking....err... dancing with John.

T'is an honor to call her friend, you should be so lucky. One needs never guess what she's thinking, for it surfaces in the best of ways.
