Happy New Year!

To end - a quote which sums things up for me quite nicely.

I cannot express my astonishment at the life that happened to us while we were making other plans.

Happy New Year to you too hon!

Thanks! muah!

Happy-happy-happy new year! *hugs and loves*

Happy New Year babe!

*cough*

yeah, I know I'm a bit late

Thank you just the same, ~~hot stuff~~ honey. *remembering promise not to flirt*

My new years resolution is to flirt rampantly babe.
Go for it!

Oh no! You're not sucking me in with THAT bit! Now that I know to go straight for the jugular, I'm dangerous... ~~is not mentally toppling over your desk chair and nibbling your neck~~

So which bit should I suck you in with?

LOL - touche'. I don't think you possess a 'bit' that doesn't suck me in like a freakin' upright vacuum. It's probably a good thing that you DON'T have an lj, I already fight a very strong predatory urge when it comes to you. I've missed seeing you around, even if I am getting a life these days....

Some bits of my house burned down. Then Christmas and NYE happened. And then I've been packing aid boxes for the Red Cross for the tsunami relief effort.
It has been a busy, busy time. Funnily enough I have been seriously considering getting an LJ. Hmmm I could always email you....
Dan.x

Oh, I think Andrea did mention the business about your house. I'm so sorry about that. See, if you had lj, we could all come and TELL you how sorry we are, and how we miss you when you're off doing magnificently noble things. Or surfing. You are such a darling thing. You're more than welcome to email me any time you like honey.

Email is sent my dear. I used the email address in your user info so I hope that is OK.
Believe helping out with the relief effort is nothing. It was right on our doorstep. A kid down the road died, on holiday with his parents. The death toll will easily get to 200,000. We are a rich country close by with money and resources we should be doing all this stuff.
I'm sad about my house and bike but these things can be replaced

Oh, its far from nothing. Doing what you 'should' do still qualifies you as an awesome guy, since there are so many who don't bother. Hearing that even someone I know as casually as you is not only trying to make things better, but is aquainted with someone who has been affected so tragically by this really brings it home.

(Don't remember you having a bike. Am hoping you're talking mountain bike.)

I HAD a mountain bike and a motorbike. They are both mangled remains now.
Quite a few Aussies have died and about 1000 are still unaccounted for.
I know some med students on holiday in Thailand who are now working at the morgue identifing bodies. You do what you can.

The heroicism of the everyday man, when faced with unspeakable tragedy, lies in his willingness to wade into the muck unflinchingly, dig elbow-deep for whatever might lie buried, and blush at the admiration of those who are unable to do so. *kisskisskiss*
