[erik]

I did.

but of course you rock!

[surlytart.livejournal.com]

Riad.... I have a Riad, too. Well, had. I mean, he was killed in 2004....

Indigo Girls rock. Like you but different.

[violachic.livejournal.com]

You know, this is getting a little weird.....

And Riad isn't mine, exactly, but... well, you know....

[surlytart.livejournal.com]

Well, mine in the sense of one of the people I love and care about, or a regular fixture in my life...

Hey wait, you aren't me, are you?

[violachic.livejournal.com]

I was wondering that myself.... except I know for a fact my Riad isn't dead, he just agreed to an arranged marriage....


parallel universe maybe?

[surlytart.livejournal.com]

Could be. Mine was only a teenager anyway. Let me see if I can filch a photo....



Very very sweet young man.

Be careful with those older ones though, they can be heartbreakers. But that story will have to happen over email some day...

[surlytart.livejournal.com]

oh, and sorry... no photos of him while living, unfortunately. I almost never took photos of teenage boys 'cause I didn't want to cause them trouble.

[violachic.livejournal.com]

Its an important picture.

[violachic.livejournal.com]

I think :-)

What a photo

[surlytart.livejournal.com]

I know. That photo is how I found out about his death, actually.

These days it makes me more happy to see it, to look at those faces again that mean so much to my life. Someday, if you want, we'll go meet them.

You bet your sweet viola-playing ass

[surlytart.livejournal.com]

stupid question time: is my ass supposed to be able to play viola? i find it difficult as my gluts are sans digits

[violachic.livejournal.com]

I'm sure PDQ Bach has written a piece for precisely that.

Good point. I have the Schickele CD and book at home. I should check tonight.
