I was friends with capsuper for 30 years and all I got was this

[badatapologies]

A couple of decades worth of unflattering-bordering-on-humiliating childhood photos and a whole lot more about me than I ever wanted you to know can be found in this extremely affectionate and sweet tribute by my apparently very longtime friend Eric Paul "capsuper" Johnson, who is not usually prone to all this sentimental hubbub so he must really mean it. 30 years can really wear on a person. I don't know what I'm more grateful for--the things he said, or the things he generously did not say. I'm gonna say "B".

I share it with you, dear reader, because I am simply too tired to know better. Later I'm sure I'll have a more appropriate response. On the 40th anniversary I want a cake. And a pony. And a pony made of cake.

Even stranger: May 11 is capsuper's birthday. And yeah, I was in town on May 11, so you're probably exactly right, we probably were in the building the same day. Weird. And cool. Wish we had been able to say hi. :)

Not to drag this on, but another strange thing: I also had a friend when I was a kid (who's now been my friend for I believe 22 years) that I used to make the occaisonal "radio" shows (err, tapes) and "albums" and movies with. And I'm pretty sure we were in cub scouts together shortly before we became friends, too. And guess when his birthday is - that's right, May 22nd! Although the similarities probably wind down from there, but still.

Duh, just realised the 20th woulda been the mirror image date, so it's not quite that creepystrange, but yeah...

No, it's close enough to be a pretty impressive run of coincidences. We've definitely been walking around in each other's footsteps a bit. :)
