> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by evilbeth \* > \*\*First, Russell Crowe never did follow through on his e-mail promise to show up and rescue me from under that pile of textbooks–good thing I made it out myself. \*\* Sorry bout that Beth but Russell had to take some time off after he returned from that earthquake in SA. He hasn’t been in touch for a while but I believe you can harrangue him yourself at : Russell Crowe C/O Rodger’s Gender Reassignment Clinic. Beverly Hills CA90210 Russell has a secret that he’s going to reveal in a month or two but he has asked me to keep schtumn for the moment. ---

You are an evil, evil man, Paul. 😉 ---

No, I never actually shut up, I just keep drinking various things and posting, posting, posting. It’s 5.30, so I’m starting on coffee now. Anyway… I won’t bother trying to express how much I love Paul, even saying that in this case all the cliches apply is a cliche. I will say that I have never felt more loved, safe and secure. One day, when I get up the courage, I’ll tell the whole story so that the entire world can see how much **Paul** has endured for my sake, and the wonderful, amazing things he has done for me. From the start, he has been my strength and joy and the only person, ever, who I’ve been able to fully trust. I truly am the luckiest woman on the planet. ---

Was I really that neurotic? You’re only counting the nutty emails and IMs that actually came from _me_ right? 😉 You were right, Paul is my knight in shining armor…but let’s not tell him that or he’ll get a swelled head. And I’ll talk to him about naming the first girl (although, I gotta say what is up with all of you people assuming that there will be kids? Hmmm?) after you, but I’m not sure if “Evil” is a traditional Irish name or not. And, um, if the “Muppet Thing” ever happens, you’ll still get to be the “head muppet”, okay? 😉 Oh! And at least Russell Crowe didn’t dump you _and_ convince Jude Law to dump you too! ---

Let me get this straight Euty. You want Tracy and Paul to show Bethie their gratitude to her by throwing her out of a plane above you??? 😉 Another victory for the EuroHood Massive… ahii… So, with all the love stories, will FatherJohn return to tell us of his forbidden love with a Ford Explorer? ---

Yes, us trash are a tight-knit bunch…😉 ) Thanks everyone for your good wishes and support. We _are_ very, very happy with each other and can’t wait to start our lives together.
