That really is lovely. It’s much better than my mantra of “No more freaks.”

Viv: My pleasure - so glad you gave me my new mantra for 2006!
TS: Phew! Thankfully, I think the diet kind is less damaging to monitors.
Jaymarie: Moving to WI in January? Sure you don't want to rethink that? Bring your long underwear...
Shari: I write for you and only you.
Cheryl: Let us never forget our own ferocity.
Allison: That's why you need a friend like Viv who will remember all this important stuff for you!
Patricia: Dirty Dancing could be the best movie ever made. Star crossed lovers, watermelons, pelvic thrusts... it has it all! If Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey were in Pride and Prejudice, I might actually agree to read it.

Being able to quote from books would be a much better and less socially cripling skill than being able to recall entire passages from Dirty Dancing or Pretty Woman (among other cheesy movies). I suppose I could go around quoting lines from Pride and Prejudice if, you know, people weren’t sick of those. :sigh: More love in the new year indeed.
Or in the grand words of Johnny Castle, “Nobody puts baby in the corner.” When you think about it, it’s almost the same thing. What? I said almost.

I love that sentiment. I will add that to the list of sentiments that I, too, will eventually totally forget and refer to as “this one really beautiful saying that I heard once, um, about love and last year” which obviously has more words and is considerably clumsier than the actual prose itself. Kinda’ like this comment.

Always good to be reminded that way is not just dark but marvelous too. And fierce.

Thank you, Jen. This was perfect for me today.

i don’t think it is too early to think of a new year’s resolution. let the new year begin now with all the anticipation of christmas and the NEW YEAR. it’s more exciting than setteling into the beginning of jan. and an easier place to start an excellent resolution. (thank you so much for not talking about losing weight – ugh! oops, sorry, didn’t mean to bring it up…)
hey jenny, here is something to look forward to in jan. i will be visiting WI on dec.20 and moving there around the 7th or so of jan. i’ll be close enough to chicago to stalk you on a regular basis1!!! yeah! (hey, i’d make a really great wing-girl)

The Tyra Banks/fierce line made me spray Diet Coke on my monitor.

Dear Jenny,
Thank you for reprinting the whole poem. I hadn’t read it in a long time. Muriel’s right– forward we go with open arms! (Cue: Journey)
Love,
Vivian
