What is the nicest thing someone could say to you?

"I can do that, for you."

I'm gonna miss annoying you in your askbox >:[

Weep not as the leaves turn to amber, and drift from the branches, never to return; seasons will pass, as they always do, and though what once was fades from view, have faith that life will grow anew.

Perhaps we took each other for planted at times. I wood have hoped we could stick together, but I'm sure we'll both be oakay in the end.

Don't you fir-get me, Logster, and I'll do the same fir you.

I'll leave you with a poem I found that might soothe your soul:

Yes, of course it hurts when buds are breaking. Why else would the springtime falter? Why would all our ardent longing bind itself in frozen, bitter pallor? After all, the bud was covered all the winter. What new thing is it that bursts and wears? Yes, of course it hurts when buds are breaking, hurts for that which grows and that which bars.   Yes, it is hard when drops are falling. Trembling with fear, and heavy hanging, cleaving to the twig, and swelling, sliding - weight draws them down, though they go on clinging. Hard to be uncertain, afraid and divided, hard to feel the depths attract and call, yet sit fast and merely tremble - hard to want to stay and want to fall.   Then, when things are worst and nothing helps the tree's buds break as in rejoicing, then, when no fear holds back any longer, down in glitter go the twig's drops plunging, forget that they were frightened by the new, forget their fear before the flight unfurled - feel for a second their greatest safety, rest in that trust that creates the world.

(Karin Boye - Yes, Of Course It Hurts)

What are your apprentice's best traits? What are you most proud of her for?

For staying, even when it's hard. For standing up for her friends; for standing up for herself. For learning how to trust; for knowing when to distrust. For managing to build herself a happy life despite everything that's been working against her. For being able to get through even the toughest of times, and come out stronger the other end.

I'm not sure it's fair to call her my apprentice. Really, it was more like the opposite.

What do you think of Lord van Zieks?

He's competent, and usually rational. I'd like to think that we have a professional understanding.

So you're good at writing poetry. How about limericks?

I don't usually write limericks, but since this will be my last post in the queue, I decided to write one anyway for ya.

You can find it here: Replace Never With Always - A Final Goodbye

Who do you admire?

The one at the bottom of the mug.

You are loved more than you know.

...You were the landmine, and I, the grenade; but though our time together was brief, I am glad we spent it dancing.

Do you enjoy reading? If so, what sort of books do you prefer?

I don't usually get much time for reading, at least not fiction. I've been getting into fairytales recently, though. @chaosofshadow has a whole bookshelf full of 'em, so I sometimes pick a book and read a tale or two while he makes dinner. You really can learn a lot from fairytales, did ya know?
