Spent the last four days cranking on a project. Just submitted it to the client a sec ago. So here I am with you, like old times.
Spoke to another old friend used to see every day. Lost touch, as things go. She had some static that I heard about so dropped her a line.
Her: Y’know, you gave me advice about things that I tell people to this day.
Me: Like what?
Her: (thinking) Well, a long time ago, I used to have to walk through this sketch alley to get home so I carried a knife with me. You told me to carry a small metal pen instead and showed me how to use it. I’ve been telling people that for years.
Me: (laughing) No kidding!
Her: (laughing) Yep. Plus I tell all my girlfriends so there’s a group of women here in San Fran that carry metal pens, all because of you.
Recalled another girl that dropped me a note a while ago thanking me for something I wrote once. Suppose it’s like that Donne poem, y’know – islands and all of that.
Funny how the things we say and do live on beyond our memory of them. It’s good t’be thought of kindly.

So how exactly is this metal pen used? =]
same as above. how does one use a metal pen?
I presume that you stab somebody with it 😛
I am wondering exactly what leece asked – how do you used the pen?? I am intrigued…??
yes i love that things live long past our memory of them.
@leece, @Greenie, @Alana – if you look at mark 1min20sec, you can see a fine example of using a pen; cheers!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7vSRWJ2oW0Q@Brian – indeedy@YM – Most times, I do as well. Except when I'm saying or doing something I regret. Then I hope people forget.
ouch!! that pen thing went so fast i didn't even catch what was going on.. but looked painful. sooo… how do we learn to do that?
