You forgot book quotes.

They have all served me well

This one resonates with me.

I remember staying in the "war room" at the office all night watching celebrations across the world starting at the International Date Line, trying to see if the lights were staying on in each city so that we would know that computers were not failing because of the date change to 2000. Can't believe that it's been 25 years.

This is so true!

online communities are so strange because people slip away so easily. you can be on here for years, folding people you've never met into the fabric of your daily life, and then they disappear, leaving only ghost posts scattered across tumblr behind. or their blog stays dormant, for weeks, months, years, until you're only still following them because you remember that they love sunflowers or they were kind to you when they didn't have to be or the last thing they posted was sad and raw and you still worry about them sometimes.

and sometimes they come back when you least expect it, years later, even, and there's this sudden rush of relief like there you are, there you are, even though you barely knew each other.

there's a strange kind of love to it. i don't know you and i want to hold your hand across miles and time zones and oceans. i can still see the imprint of you in this community you left. you don't think anyone will notice or care when you're gone, but we notice and we care and we wish you well.

i hope you're all okay out there. i hope the sun is shining on your face and you are breathing deeply. i miss you.

You forgot Innuendo, and I'm fluent in all five.

It is so much fun.

And, as Sherlock Holmes said to Dr. Watson, "You see, but you do not observe."

[72eli]

That presumes that there is such a thing as "inappropriate" touchings.

Being kind costs you nothing, but it could be priceless to the recipient of your kindness.

Don't cry because it's over - smile because it happened.
