X's and O's to Shanna for sending me a necklace made of vintage typewriter keys. (I love typewriters, if I haven't said.) The keys read A3, which Ms. Germain explained is:Text speak -- that shorthand that people use on their cells and in instant message --
A3 stands for the delightful: Anytime, Anyplace, Anywhere.
I always think of you as A3 in my brain. Not just because of sex. But because of how prolific you are, how helpful to new and intermediate writers, how you flit all over the place and still have this fantastic calm about you, how you're doing a million things and doing them all so fucking well...
That's all.
I didn't ask for her permission to post what she said. But I'm posting anyway (I mean anytime, anyplace, anywhere) because I want to be able to go back and read this whenever I feel as if I don't know what the fuck I'm doing—which is most days.
Truly, thanks to the nth degree, Shanna. For the words even more than the chain around my neck!
XXX,
Alison
P.S. Oh, why all the gifts? Because June is my birthday month! And I love holding each one up so you all can ooh and ahhh over my prizes. Wait until you see what Sommer Marsden got me!

Oh, I'm so glad you like it! And every word of it's true. You're an inspiration to me every fucking day.
Now, I wonder what S3 can stand for?
Happy birthday, you Trollop you.
Best, s.
Well, slut, spanking, and seductrix come to mind. But let me put Confidant and Jeremy on that asap.

Oh yes, can I have all those words in my S-collection?
God, you know me too fucking well...
:)
IS IT TODAY???? Alison, when is it your birthday?! I didn't know! Fuck. I still got time to buy flowers from the petrol station and a bottle of cava, right?
No, not today—and like I said, I claim June. June is mine. Alllll mine.
Kidding. I'll share it with the rest of the Geminis out there, too.
XXX,
Alison
Happy June Birthday!
Dammit! I need warning! Thank God I've the whole month.
Shanna and Alison, you know what S3 means for me? "My ass is yours." The sound of the letter S suggests "ass," and the 3 recalls the ∃ sign of mathematics, meaning "there exists."
Funny, my latest journal entry was about staying positive.
And I also namechecked Shanna.
I think Shanna needs a prize for being so fantastic and inspiring all of us!
Happy Birthday all month ! I love that. My bestest mate's b'day was yesterday ... I hope she celebrates all month, too. In fact, I am going to suggest it.

Oh... hell....
That's just too perfect!
Plus, the 3 kinda looks like my ass, so...
Woot!
Shanna's S looks so sinuously sultry, smooching up against that 3. So I'm chip in with
Sinuous
Sensuous
Salacious
