You know the drill: comment here and I will tell you what I think of you, not that I'll say anything unkind, but I will be honest.

Hit me.

You are very much a New Yorker and all that encompasses.

I also really like your taste in accessories, your jewelery collection is amazing.

[zippyknowsbest.livejournal.com]

*is quite pleased with this, especially the praise of her jewelry*

Yeah? You let me know there's anything you wanna borrow, sweetheart.

[sand-andwater.livejournal.com]

I just might have to try and recreate some of the pieces in my studio.

[zippyknowsbest.livejournal.com]

What, you do metallurgy as well as glasswork?

[sand-andwater.livejournal.com]

I wish. No. But I can and do work with a lot of different types of glass as well as leafing and paint. Between the hand blown beads and pendants and lampworking for the detailed work I can recreate a lot of passable pieces--even if it's class and not metal.

Dichrotic glass resembles metal at a glance.

[zippyknowsbest.livejournal.com]

Ooooo, I know about dichroic! Well, not know know, but I do have one piece, it was a gift from a friend a few months ago. Lemme find the pic.

There we are (http://files.tellmewhereonearth.com/Photos%20Dichroic/d401.JPG). I love the piece, and the setting, but I don't tend to wear cool colors that often so it don't see much skin time.

[sand-andwater.livejournal.com]

That is lovely.

I don't do metal work, but I have been known to do some beading and things, like this (http://pics.livejournal.com/sand_andwater/pic/0003gks1). Not quite as finished looking as your piece of course.

[zippyknowsbest.livejournal.com]

Ooooo, that's lovely. Not for sale, is it?

[sand-andwater.livejournal.com]

You like it?

I...couldn't tell you the last time I actually sold anything I've done. I usually give them as gifts. You can have it if you like.

[zippyknowsbest.livejournal.com]

I do like it. I'm a sucker for anything red.

You sure? I'm happy to pay for it. I like buying things from artists when I honestly like their stuff.

[sand-andwater.livejournal.com]

Oh, don't be silly...I couldn't charge you for it when I keep giving things to everyone else. If you want it, I'll gladly put it in a box for you.

[zippyknowsbest.livejournal.com]

How's this-- first one's free, and I will happily take a box-- but the next thing I get from you, you let me pay you for?

[sand-andwater.livejournal.com]

I suppose that's fair.

[zippyknowsbest.livejournal.com]

Bitchin'.

[sand-andwater.livejournal.com]

You're welcome.

[itwaslovetome.livejournal.com]

Alright, I'll bite.

[sand-andwater.livejournal.com]

You seem like a very affable person, cheerful and upbeat. One artistic heart to another, glad you found the city.

I'm looking forward to getting you out to Last Call sometime to see Breaker Street.

[itwaslovetome.livejournal.com]

Well way to make me feel all warm and fuzzy inside, thanks!

And I'm definitly going to make my way down there, I could use a break from work.

[sand-andwater.livejournal.com]

Wednesdays and Saturdays are the best, I promise. Service is always outstanding though.

[fey-fire.livejournal.com]

Hello, sweet.

[sand-andwater.livejournal.com]

Do I know you, sir?

[fey-fire.livejournal.com]

Unless I've been hallucinating months of bliss, you do. *chuckles*

[sand-andwater.livejournal.com]

Months of bliss...

months of bliss

...hmm...

Oh, right. You. I do remember you. The nice boy who occasionally walks my dog for me. You're very sweet.

[fey-fire.livejournal.com]

And is that all I am to you? A sweet, occasional puppy-walker?

[sand-andwater.livejournal.com]

Ro, if you need to play with some online meme to find out what I think of you and what you mean to me, then I must be a terrible girlfriend.

I hope you already know all of this but:

You're one of the kindest, gentlest, sweetest men I have ever known.

You're funny and charming, clever and witty. You make me laugh. A lot.

Caring, understanding, accepting of me and my faults where so many others have judged and walked away.

You're talented, truly talented. Brilliant even. You, and by extension the band you've surrounded yourself with, have what it takes to go so far and I am SO proud of you. Happy for you, I think you deserve all the success in the world.

I love you.
