Hey, it's an old quote, it must be wise, right? Aw, crap. . .

Gibson, on Mencken:

You were sneaky, and got to me first. *tilts head back* Jeez, that bar's up there pretty high, huh? ;-)

You enjoy life so much that it makes me wonder how you do it. Simple things, obscure things, complex things; people, places, or pastimes; you get in up past your elbows and not only seem to have a good time doing so, you encourage people to do it, too (and even succeed, though you may not know it). You're a terriffic conversationalist in the old-fashioned sense of being at ease going from subject to subject and back again at the flick of a cursor, and you always seem to ask interesting questions that defy glib answers.

You're not like the heroine of all those melodramatic period romances, pining and wailing and suffering the vapors; you're the one who knew what she wanted and made it happen. You don't pull punches when something difficult needs to be said, but at the same time, you're perfectly up front when someone steps over the line, and sensible enough to say, "No," though I suspect that you're as prone to a paralyzing gale of laughter, if someone catches you just right. :-)

If the road to hell is actually paved with good intentions, you're a civil engineer. You have a seemingly infinite capacity for trying to do the right thing, whether or not success is in the cards.
