Hi! It’s me! Lily!!!
Anathema came around with her new baby today.
I didn’t even know she had it! Awww!!! But she seems so happy. She named it Lily Yuriko. Subtle, hah. But.. she told me that if it weren’t for me, she might never have gotten there, and been as happy as she is right now. It’s a cute baby too… got all the required fingers, toes, and other parts. She was almost gushing with how happy she is, and that made me happy too.
I tried to tell her it was the Boss, but she wouldn’t hear it. “The boss can’t do much unless you cooperate, right?” Well, I don’t know about can’t, but usually doesn’t – point. So I just accepted her thanks and resigned myself that that will be the third thing named after me… after Katie’s baby, and Grace’s dog.
Katie, btw… she’s busy working and can’t take too much time out to see me off, but she did text and say she’d miss me. Aww.
It’s funny how Anathema was cat-girl… maybe one of the most obnixious people I’d ever met. It’s not that she wasn’t nice or worth getting to know, it’s just that… she never, ever missed an opportunity to show off her body, or, shall we say, use her body in ways in which it may have bene intended, but weren’t very productive. Shall we say. If you get my meaning. I don’t think she even kept track of how many men (and women) she’d been with, and, well… she caused a couple of car accidents on the side of the road advertising our business because she was just dressed in bandages. But she’s so different now. She’s so happy with Joe and being married, even if his job means he can’t always be around. I have absolutely no doubt she’s faithful, and for his part, Joe has accepted the baby as his own. that’s… actually amazing of him, he’s an amazing man. Hell, if I were a couple of years older and didn’t have Jack, I might have snapped him up for myself.
I don’t understand the military, but they have this sense of duty…
No, don’t worry. He never showed any interest, and I’m faithful, too. But facts are facts.
Besides, if he can keep up with Anathema, he might have wore me out.
Anyway…
I’ve made so many friends here… and there are so many people here who love me… I mean really love me. They love me enough to name babies after me. That’s… most girls don’t have that, and it’s an amazing feeling. I wish more people have it. I guess all I can do is pay it forward.
Speaking of which, Yuki’s kind of bursting at the seams to be home. She’s made peace with the otaku and that world, and she’s ready to step back (a little) into the world she left, in Japan. She might become one of those famous seiyuus who do radios and live performances and variety shows. I hope she does. She still has that idol vibe to her, she was beloved and successful for a reason. And I can say she’s one of my best friends… funny how that works.
Liz will always be number one, but Yuki can be in the top three. Haha!!!
Actually… truthfully, I have a hard time choosing who would be in the number two or three or four slot. I love them all so much, just for different reasons.
Okay… I gotta go now. Sabby’s planning a special dinner for tomorrow night and wants my input.
Oh… did I mention, Crystal’s birthday was on the 17th? She was on stage that night.. she told me I don’t have to get her any other presents or parties or anything ever, that that will take care of everything for the rest of her life! Hahaha. But I will anyway, of course. I might find her a nice guitar from Japan – with exchange rates where they are, I might get a really good deal.
