Babelfish babble

[gwyn]

Dear person who wants to see my vids:

I truly don't mind if you request the password to my site by using an e-mail that has obviously been run through Babelfish or something like that, because it's clear that you don't speak English and I think it's very nice that you went to the trouble anyway, despite what must seem like a formiddable language barrier. I'm pretty clever and used to speak a couple of other languages, so I can probably figure out what you're asking for even though it's admittedly pretty bizarre. A little like that Star Trek Next Gen episode, Darmok. Also, you do not have to apologize profusely for asking for the password. But dude, if you write back to me to ask me (at least I think this is what you are asking) what site you have just asked for the password to, then I cannnot help you with any translation program. You are a maroon in any language. And I still don't understand what all the stuff about the leafs is.

Thank you kindly.

In other news, today is katallison Day! Huzzah! Kat, you've been one of those rare few people I felt like I could really talk to and wanted to hear about what was going on with me this past year, and I can't tell you how much I valued that. We started out just sort of knowing each other through mutual friends, but now I count you as a real-life friend. I hope that minnie-soota weather cooperates long enough to give you a wonderful day!

Don't people just amaze you? They do, me. Oy. :)

Gwyn, thank you so very much -- this means a lot to me, since I always wish I could do more as a friend to help you through the horrendous times you've been having lately. I really, really look forward to seeing you at Vividcon!

Considering everything that you yourself have gone through recently, I have been amazed by your willingness to listen to my endless kvetching and your thougtfulness. It has meant tons to me -- I hope I can buy you a drink (and maybe some shrimp! I still wish we could have had that shrimp platter all to ourselves the whole night at Escapade) at the con.

Happy b-day to one of the few fellow lovers of Ms. Smith that I know of!

I know! I get the screwiest letters sometimes about that password. If nothing else, I have to keep it just so I can continue to get letters I can gripe about.

LOL Yeah... I still get ... well, bizarre... emails for CallumKeithRennie.net and people still send me emails for Callum Keith Rennie. Some of them, oh the embarrassment liek woah.
