I know a girl who is really cool.  My sister knew her first.  And after seeing her Typewriter tattoo "Lost for words", she decided I would be in awe.  And I was.  She's cool.  She's kind of the definition of cool, from her nose ring, to her tattoo, to her banjo, Grandpa's fiddle, adventurous travels and nerdy beau.  Oh yes, and she's a writer.  A freaking funny one.  Yes, I've heard it called a 'lady crush' before - she's that cool.  (Emily, I hope this is getting uncomfortable.)

And today, is her birthday. And since I know she sometimes wanders here, I thought I'd make a bit of a scene among a crowd of strangers (to her).  Happy Birthday, Emily.
