Cara R (Cara, not Cara or Cara) jumped online this eve & said hey. We don’t chat very often so I was very happy to hear from her. I asked her what colours I should paint the new place and she said she wasn’t a huge terra cotta fan but if I must have a terra cotta kitchen then so be it. She sent me to a good site for picking colours which I know will be a life saver. I asked her if she was done design school yet and she said she’s got three weeks and one more course to go. Then she’ll be an uber designer and I’ll have to pay through the nose for advice like that. I sent her a font and a pic of Wonder Woman and we called it even.
That’s her work up there, and I was floored. (Jason- There’s hardly any blue!) I had no idea she had such mad skillz. Jason knew. Jason is a bitch for not making me understand. Imagine if a select few of us were wealthy and in posession of a design studio… SHUT UP!
I worked with Cara for a little more than a year at Wondermill. I had the feeling she thought I was a pretty stereotypical dj character, and I admit I sometimes played that up for fun. It was fun. I really enjoyed our relationship. Somewhere in there I think she decided I wasn’t so bad and I developed a lot of respect for her, and affection too. She’s got a very pointy brain (she’s sharp! jeez, she’ll get that even if you didn’t) and her opinions are well-considered. Well, except maybe about djs. =P
I like her. I like her a lot. Jeff is a lucky guy and she knows it. I mean he knows it. Aww, I kid. I only met him briefly, and my impression of him as a quiet guy is apparently off base. But I do think he’s lucky. She’s Very Good People.
And talented. Dayum. Here’s hoping I find opportunity to put that talent to good use one day.
Cara- I’m glad I know you, and doubly glad you decided I wasn’t so bad. Or at least not pure evil. I really was kidding about the seventeen year-olds. Next time you’re over here (unfortunately just *after* I’ve painted) we’ll get some kids together & go out for the good times. I’m looking forward to buying you a drink.
Aww, thanks Adrian. It’s always nice to hear someone say nice things about you. And yes, you’re not all that bad – aside from the hookers and blow :)
We should chat more often.

TOLD YOU CARA WAS THE BEST!
Did I not? Huh?
(Well done, C~! Weird thing– I was randomly thinking about you today when a woman I work with thought she was oh-so-clever in noticing how neat my desk was. She was like, “Wow– do you have OCD?” I just laughed.)
