Anonymous asked: I've never met anyone like you. I think you're amazing and if I was an older woman and you lived here in South Australia or I lived there, wherever 'there' is, I would snap you up in a heart beat and make sure you knew just how truly wonderful you are. Keep doing what you're doing because you're pretty much perfect. (to me, anyway.)
