Let's talk about ME for a moment
LOL - but isn' that what we ALWAYS do Colette?
So tonight I am going with my dear friend Bill to see David Sedaris (author of such wonderful books as 'Me talk pretty one day" and his latest "Dress your family in corduroy and denim").
Before I get into being a book reviewer, let me tell you about my dear friend Bill (his blog is listed in my blog links where he goes by Liam: @ http://www.liamsmusings.blogspot.com/).
I have, ever since we began talking (gosh it has to be about 12 or 13 years ago now), considered him to be a part of my family. When we met (on-line I might add), Bill was going through some rough times. He had lost his dad and not long after that had lost his mom. That's a lot for ANYONE to go through. But then, not long after his parents died, my friend Bill decided to out himself. I remember the day when he told me he was gay. And I remember him almost but not quite asking me if I still wanted to be his friend. After completely squelching the urge to belt him in the mouth for even asking - I then wanted to take him in my arms and hold him and let him cry all of his pain and anguish out until he felt safe again. Thank God/Goddess things have gotten better for him since that time long ago.
In a sentence/a sentiment - I LOVE BILL WITH ALL MY HEART AND SOUL. He is one of my dearest and close to one of my oldest friends. I can tell him anything and I have. He is there for me, he never walks away, nor does he give me the verbal spankings which I so very much deserve at times. He has, on my blog here, and in letters he's written to me in the past, been one of the wisest people I have ever met. I am always amazed when he says something about my situation that rings so true and with such clairty that it actually takes my breath away. He is very funny (hysterically so) and witty, he is loving and kind, and he is genrous to a fault. I seriously do not know what I would do without him in my life. I think he has finally found someone who can love him the way he truly deserves to be loved and it does my heart good to see him so happy and so clear. He is with a person that I have come to like alot and I think they make a great couple and I can't say it enough - I am am so very happy for both of them. My hope for Bill is that all of his dreams come true because no one I know deserves it more.
For a gift - he has bought us tickets to go see David Sedaris. Now I had heard of David Sedaris and I had seen him do a reading on the David Letterman show and I think he is a very funny man. Bill lent me a copy of his latest book and I have to tell you I laughed until I cried reading this book. The man is brilliant. His family stories come alive for me and his grasp of the human condition is unfaultering and uncanny. Read his books NOW! You will be glad you did.
