"Oxalis is one of my favorite people I've ever met, and I'm glad to have met her. The world should bring her flowers when she is sad, kittens when she is lonely, and sunshine whenever she wants to balance the awesomeness she exudes."
"This is roundabout, but there are times when roundabout is the shortest distance between two wildly unexpected points. I met Oxalis on the fifth day of May. It was a modern day miracle: a combination saloon and laundromat called The Lost Sock, in New Town, Edinburgh, just downhill from Queen Street on the way to Leith. She was cuddled up to a Tequila Sunrise muttering to herself about the sun and the East and habits and exceptions; I was the last man in town on horseback, and the police and sanitation officials were displeased. Having hitched up to the fire hydrant, I started a load of colors, defiantly spelling them thus, and sidled up beside her at the bar. "You look like you could use a friend," was my line. "You look like an extra in a Gene Wilder film," said Oxalis, her pretty face still in the glass.
Our courtship was brief, and the wedding gay in the modern sense of the word. Carrier pigeons bore our good tidings to friends in St. Petersburg, but they had been arrested by agents of the FSB long before the birds arrived. Gore Vidal sent a metric ton of cashews to greet us in Naples on the first night of our honeymoon, but the Camorra intercepted them and killed Kate Hudson to prove a point. Weeks later, having discovered that neither Oxalis or I had been Kate Hudson fans, the mob bosses greatly regretted their clumsy attempt at intimidation.
Meanwhile, our honeymoon ended even before the cashews would have gone stale. Oxalis met a whirling dervish impersonator from Tabriz, and I began a correspondence class in marble quarrying. By September we had grown apart, but friendship and the bonds of SG kept us together, no matter how far afield our hearts and mojos strayed. To this day I treasure our time together, and think fondly upon her whenever I hear a bagpipe, or watch Almost Famous."
Not sure enough can be said about how cool, and sweet this young lady is.
She's fun to hang out with and to talk to. Always cool, easy going.
..and I'm pretty sure everyone's crazy about her "
"the Ox is definitely one of the most cool, groovy, hip, sweet, and beautiful ladies i ever had the privledge of knowing. thanks for all the fun events we hung out at in the past and future."
"I could never be so lucky to have met someone as awesome as Oxalis. She is the most uplifting person I have ever had the pleasure to meet on SG, or anywhere. She totally owns every minute of her life, and strives to make the best of everything, no matter what it is. Her personality is totally contagious, and I am glad for it to have rubbed off on me.
I raise my glass to you Oxalis, you fuckin rule. "
