If I were a rich man

Sooo,
you know how sometimes I link my old posts?
I've decided to go one better and just repost a whole one. It's really long and a pal who was looking through my archive single it out for a compliment so I thought I'd share it again (and update the song and phone referenced).
Here it is, from October of 2007, a really freaking long meme...

I know what that phrase signifies, "...the rain fell in torrents". I won't give the book name because I can't recall it right now. Let someone else take a crack.

Excellente!

I always thought of you as an amaryllis, but that's me...

The number 11:11 followed me around for a number of years, on clocks, addresses, randomly and auspiciously. But now seems to have tired of the game.
