Robin has some kind of charm of understanding so transcendant that you feel the conversation continue after you've been standing around silent for a while. IF that happens. She knows how to play. and by play, I mean, TOTALLY ROCK. And by TOTALLY ROCK! I mean she's freakin smart and wields linguistical magic like a champ! You know she knows. Wait a minute, I'm not even talkin to you! Hey Robin, you rock!
Looking forward to more mental zip zap with ya girl. Thanks for being!

Robin makes me happy because she has this incredible way of of picking apart ugly knots and lying the remains neatly on the table. She is extremely articulate and sees complicated situations and people clearly, which has pulled me through many headachey moments unscathed. She's imaginative, witty, dependable and a great listener. She's also very fun to play with and a real friend.

I can't even remember why I love this girl so much.
Oh, wait, yeah I can. It just took a second. Now it won't stop.

Robin has the eye of a scientist and the heart of an elephant.
By the former, I mean that she sees minds, both ours and her own, more clearly than anyone I know. She takes herself unseriously to a heroic degree, is aware of her every neurosis, and cuts herself no slack. She knows what's going on. Like Fouccault or Neitzsche, her political, spiritual, and psychological theories, often improvized off-the-cuff, are startlingly strange, at first ridiculous, and then terribly compelling.
By the latter, I mean only that beyond Robin's composed exteriority is woman of outstanding sensitivity, who feels the emotions of others to such a degree that she sometimes avoids us altogether. We can feel hers as well, and when she is on a roll, we feel nearly as brilliant as she; when she is sad, we want to cry. She has the huge, silent, ancient elephant heart. She plays in the water like a baby and broods in the graveyard with her bones.
