You think that's sad, I spent two days with Barb and didn't register until after I got home that she was the person who has written about certain parts of her story I feel very connected to, and there she was right across from me in real life.
And it helps me really understand how somebody PMed me earlier today to tell me something that I had told them about a week ago.
[Ellemeno files this into her brain, and shoves so it will stick: "Leslie, in childhood=Jackson Heights, then LI"]

No need to apologize, sweetie, but I am still wondering if you remember Cousin Brucie? LOL

Ah. This explains why you were so enthralled by my freakish sponge memory (my one true gift). If anyone ever needs to know the name of some obscure director or how exactly some line in some little-known movie goes, look no further. I was a fantastic test taker in college, too, but don't ask me to explain how anything I "learned" about works.
<--- Been in Mouth of the Rat for 13 loooooong years. Gah! Just realized that's the longest she's lived in any one place.
<--- Likes to talk about herself in the third person

Ha ha, I will always remember you, Barb, and keep you straight in my universe of cyberfriends, because you and I have the same high school boyfriend story!!

I sure do. And Harry Harrison. Big voices. And have you noticed that when Ennis and Jack sit down at the bar, the radio in the background is Harry Harrison's voice talking?

Barb, I got home and was rereading some long ago threads, and there you were talking about the lake bonfires and your father's highballs. And I went, "Oh right! THAT's part of Barb's story too." I confidently remembered other parts of your more current life, but forgot that part.
I love us and our whole lives, even the sucky parts, because they burnish and transmute as we tell them here.
<-------Also likes to talk in third person at times.
B) And in bullet points.
