for flammifera

Oh, flammifera, your glorious, glorious hair . . .

On a less superficial note: I admire your ability to try new things and meet new people without letting go of your core goodwill and desire to do good. Your transformations have led to new openness and new friendships; may they always be met with the same!

for bloodorange

I won't be on the right side of the continent to attend your senior exhibition, but I am genuinely sorry to miss it. I have envied you the book arts, and in particular I envy you the future printing presses. If and when you have access to a fifteenth- or sixteenth-century-style typeface, tell me, and I will commission you.

summing up

You are still welcome to comment on the original entry, but at the moment it appears that I've finished formally saying good things about people. I won't insist on memishness, but I can promise that the activity is quite satisfying, should you be tempted to try it yourself.
