Well the new year has started and how are we all doing out there? I had a decent new years but didn't get to kiss the one i love - though i'm sure he was well taken care of. As for me i stared at the tv waited for the ball to drop got a great midnight phone call from the west got stoned and that was the end of me. Knee is doing much better - ironically ever since i took a walk in the woods in NC the swelling has gone down and less pain in general - what the hell do those doctors know telling me not to move it! But oh my god the time i got to spend with artpie in NC was the best christmas present i could have ever wished for. Sorry to get all girly but i am so in love and it feels like the first time - you just kinda know when you cry at the airport when you see him for the first time in a while out of joy cause you get to touch smell taste be... god i'm gonna stop now before i make all of you sick - happy new year to all hope all is well - never stick to new years resolutions

thus the reference to the speaker.
I'm glad your knee is better and love is grand.
really.
