My easel and I are ships that pass in the night just now. We stare longingly and lustfully at each other and mutter about getting a chance to hang out together soon. It will happen. I think it's a ways away but I'm going to surprise it...

Isn't this magical? Can't you imagine those top ones dancing away on their own? Dancing flakes are very, very close to my heart (she says as she cranks the tunes and gets up from her chair). Do you know what else makes me want to dance? My...
