h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Hi Jen,

As the one with the most sparkle in both persona and writing, it has been an extra-ordinary journey having you as a friend here....the trip has been a helluva lot of fun and sheer crazy doomatadoozle only because of you!

What shines through is your mastery over both the form and the craft of writing; your sense of purpose in getting things going when you have to; your ability to connect with so many people effortlessly with humour and with great kindness; and your strength of true character.

Wishing you the best Christmas and a lovely New Year!

P. S.doomatadoozle is a made up word: it just seems to describe the roller coaster journey very well, and sounded quirky enough to fit

Ach... Indie!
What a gorgeous wee message for me to stumble on this morn of Christmas Eve! How lovely and really thank-you. This place and all it's wonderful characters has been quite influential to me in my 'real' life too as it happens. The courage encouraged to 'speak' louder and become 'braver' in attitude and in expression and the love of a language and the most beautiful of souls spilling their words here, and you one of most. It is aso an invaluable 'learning' cycle of other personalities and cultures from across the world where normally I would never have met an introduction and for that this is priceless.

You have been a most sincere friend, a diva, and angel, a girly, a mentor, a sport, an inspiration and a dahling! Thank-you doll. Also I'd be afaid that we could lose touch in here so feel free to send me an email on: [email protected] You're more than welcome!

And as I now know that you do not celebrate Christmas, just take this as a many wonderful wishes for the last days of the year!

Ad as for 'doomatadoozle'!!

What a brilliant word!! Must add that to 'Indies specially formulated delightful dictionary'!

Home you get home soon and have a wicked time, missus! I'll have a few Bailey's and Brandy's for ye in the depths of Donegal!

Here's to a successful 2005!

Jen

i don't celebrate xmas but accept gifts!! i'm soliciting them after pushing my luck with scribbs and she actually said yes. so you are # 3 i'm hitting on, after her and loob

expect mail from [email protected]

btw, my grandmum converted to christianity in secrecy and when she was almost on her deathbed a priest appeared chanting the holy gospel, calling her Mary much to the shock of her children. Of course, she recovered, as did they, and after being forced out of the closet, we had the nuns and priests come over home regularly. how is that for a christmas story?

Jaysus, Mary & Saint Joseph - Indie! I should have known that you had some little magical golden tale in your background!!

Bless ye missus! I was taught by the nuns (and they were tough old biddies let me tell ye!) and as for the priests, well there's more bad than good. Don't get me started!

As for a pressie here's some little gifts:

!!!  

ENJOY!!

hey,

i grew up with the nuns too: 'convent educated' as they say, in this part of the world....stayed in hostel with them and the stories i have to tell would be comparable to what charles dickens could portray.

i love my gifts...but where are the handcuffs, thong and whip? i find you and looby use them frequently on this site!

maybe i'll ask kev to hand that out!

indie

You ARE naughty!!

AND the were your fifth gift AFTER the chocolate and cake. Thought you neded your energy level perked up first!

As for the thong and whip, well it could be any of the other 's who still have them.... Looby, GG, Justine, Paige, Lynda... They are such a BAD influence on wee innocent Jen!

oops, missed that! was busy taking in the chocolate and cake, and didn't get that far...

poor wee jen???

poor wee shorty, and the man about the house more like it.

enjoy your holiday, and we'll chat, whenever.
