I heart Neil

Yeah, me and the rest of the English-speaking world. Anyway, I liked his New Year’s message:

May your coming year be filled with magic and dreams and good madness. I hope you read some fine books and kiss someone who thinks you’re wonderful, and don’t forget to make some art — write or draw or build or sing or live as only you can. And I hope, somewhere in the next year, you surprise yourself.

(from http://journal.neilgaiman.com/2007/12/as-i-was-saying.html)

I know I’ll read some fine books this year (hell, I’m already reading some pretty damn fine books, namely Alan Moore’s erotic masterpiece Lost Girls and Sylvia Plath’s collected poetry) but what I really want is to kiss someone who thinks I’m wonderful.

A girl can dream, can’t she?
