Bizzar and thank you raze. your words are beautiful. thank you all for being here and writing, because if you weren’t here, i wouldn’t be either: 220412

raze i had a dream we were in a room together. all of us. just talking and smiling and laughing. it was the greatest thing.

i don't cry in a lot of my dreams. but i cried in that one. because i was happy.

e_o_i I apply to be the annoying aunt who won't shut up about her relative's dog!

Submission: the title just now reminded me of how the fur of my parents' dog looks a lot like my brother's hair - copper red roots turning blond at the ends. The name blonde_redhead too. A neighbour was joking to my mom (also redheaded, her fading locks warmed with henna) that he fit right in our family.

kerry i like the idea of e_o_i as the annoying aunt (but only annoying if you want to be annoying, have a red_aunt is good enough too)

i apply to be the one who is always late to family gatherings but brings homemade pecan pie to make up for it

raze i apply to be the person who sits at a card table and eats a piece of said homemade pecan pie like it's pizza while smiling and saying, "this is the best family reunion ever." 220702
...
tender_square [kerry, can i have your pecan pie recipe?] 220702
...
e_o_i Kerry, I'm all for the pecan pie!

And I'll try not to be annoying on purpose, though I can't promise not to ramble sometimes.

...ambling rambling through blather, through the brambles...

Bizzar i would also show up late, hair a mess, clothes wrinkled - because i got the time wrong. and i'll probably have messed up whatever i was supposed to make or bring. 220801
...
raze we'd fold you up in a group hug anyway and remind you that blather_loves_you. 220801
