Strand. You kick ass and take names.

Smart, has good taste. I dunno, I just like her. She's regular, but funny, but cool, but pretty. I could probably talk to her about most things and she would get it. She's pleasant, but totally gets the subversive undercurrent of life.

Takie(Takenbythesky, Justin) - First of all, his screen name is brill. Wish I'd thought of it. But that is just it. Justin is an original and insightful thinker, but also very, very kind. He's a great writer, he knows a lot about music for his age (and mine). He faces adversity every day, and still manages to remain kind, and optimistic. Also, though mild mannered (hehehe, aren't all superheros?) I consider him brave. He joined a gay acceptance club in his catholic school, and if that isn't a Stand, I don't know what is. Again, though mild mannered, I feel like he is chock full of integrity and purpose, like he may be nice and accomodating, but that absolutely will not stop him from being who he is, standing up for what he thinks is right, and behaving in a way that is an example for what he believes.
He also sent me a birthday card last year. I think I cried a bit. Just a really intelligent person with a lot going for him - I predict great things, especially now that he has discovered the magic of exercise! Muah times a mill to Takie.

Ryan (am I doing the Cancers? Appears so.) - A really good spirited kid. And the only one of you gay mofos that I can talk baseball/softball with!
He's funny, he's cute, but I really can't stress enough what a pleasure his happy go lucky, accepting vibe is. He could be friends with anyone and everyone, opposites though those people may be. I like his taste in music, too - I like the way he says he listens to it...flouncing around his room, twirling, dancing, stomping his head a bit to Talking Heads...just a nice clean spirit. I mean, he readily admitted to shawling and Stand Back twirling, if my memory serves me right. I love people who aren't too cool to admit that, especially a boy at his age. And man, that bird and that tie were hilarious. He's a goofer, and that is my favorite kind of person.
Also, prime jailbait. Not for me, but for some lucky guy.

Strand- This is actually a great entry, because I don't even know if Strand likes me or not, but it doesn't matter b/c I still have positive things to say about him in this very positive thread he started.
Okay - I thought classic southern gentleman was a myth, or something I only read in books from long past. But actually, Strand is That Man. Whether he meant it or not, and he says it was the alcohol ( ) he was so complimentary and charming to me when I met him. I must admit I was duly impressed. And, if you can believe it, he was about 10 times funnier in real life then he is here. And he's funny here. He made me feel welcome, and liked, he bought me drinks and cigs and snacks, he showed me his great outfits (I like the burgundy shirt on him). But don't get the impression that he came off super slick, because he just came off as a real nice person, and emotionally forthcoming. His eyes are very honest. He sang on the escalator, he cried for BATB, he tried to tell piano girl what to do, he showed me his naked model pics... I really can't imagine anyone more personable, whether he likes me or not. Oh, right, and he's super smart and insightful about Stevie, too. I'm dying to do a duet with him. Gold? Whenever I Call You Friend?
The main point is, however he felt, he made me feel like an old friend. Quite a gift. I'm not even sure I make my old friends feel like old friends. And his sense of public decorum very, very closely matched my own. Rich man, poor girl - both would wail on Stand Back in the middle of a public place, and not think twice of it. Beauty.


Red/Rachel - She would probably be my total friend in real life. She just gets it, and she's hilarious. Also, tied with Strand for best Mom stories. I'm sure she has other fine qualities (wait! She designs jewelry, my dream job!) but her sense of humor tells me all I need to know. She knows when stuff is hella lame, she knows when stuff is hella cool, and will make the appropriate joke for the occasion. I've also heard tale of some Stevie concerts she and her friends have put on for the neighbors...inadvertantly....and that is my raison d' etre as well. No, wait - I just belt it around my apartment like she does, and audience be damned. It's very natural. She also totally gets the "too pussy to date" boy vibe. Sesly, she almost had me convinced to move to Canada....and you know I hate cold....She's like my twin, but totall different...

There's more....To be continued.

Tiffany- Nice girl, has helped me out significantly on more than one occasion - with Anita (hi Anita!).
She's really smart and funny. She is also very together, and has done a lot of cool things in/for Macworld. I think she'll be a big success in whatever she chooses to do, and I think she is a big success now.
Edit - She also helped me with my cat. Hey, Tiff - Oyenge's hair grew back, and I think she is putting on weight! Thank you!
