Last night I saw zarthon the for the first time in about three weeks. We had dinner at Punjab, and afterwards hung out at purpleglitter's apartment. He gave me a large stuffed Togepi that Howard had recently given him to give away. Howard is apparently declutterfying and also was getting rid of two plates that featured Counselor Deanna Troi and Dr. Beverly Crusher. zarthon thought the Dr. Crusher plate would be perfect for me, but unfortunately it went to someone else.

Why would the Dr. Beverly Crusher plate be perfect for me? Because back in late 1992, when I choose my new name, I named myself "Beverly" after her. It was much better than what my friends at the time were suggesting, and I've been quite happy with it.
