All the way into work I kept reminding myself, “go wish Britt a happy birthday, go wish Britt a happy birthday.”
Then I got to work and Jell-O happened so I closed my door and made a video.
Then after Jell-O I got three blogs into my feed reader list (including, luckily, Britt’s blog) and… suddenly everyone on the planet and their mother needed my help. It was really surreal. Today more people talked to me asking for advice and help and to take on tasks and what I wanted to do about any given situation than in about 7 weeks. I don’t think I’m exaggerating by saying 7 weeks, although I have no idea what happened 7 weeks ago because I’m lucky if I remember 7 hours ago.
Point: It feels good to be needed. Really, really good.

Wait, what were Peter Gabriel’s sentiments? “Shock the monkey tonight”? “I want to be your sledgehammer”?

I’m not guessing. I just want to say that even though it feels good to be needed, how does it feel to be WANTED?
Oh wait. the penis thing.

Tug, penis thing? Are you playing Stump the Poppy? (No pun intended.) I have no idea what you’re talking about.

I could say something really dirty in response to that, but I’ll keep it to myself.
