I’m extremely tired and extremely if indistinctly emotional thanks to a long and restless night with this little guy, plus it’s Monday and shitty outside.

So what the hell: I’m going to tweet something nice about every Twitter follower I have who I know personally:

(This is in order of how they appear on my Followers page, from most recent to oldest.)

@eladneffid - Truth be told I barely know Ricky even though we probably met 20 years ago. But when he started following me on Twitter my thought was “Oh, cool. I like that dude.” And I don’t like anyone.

@dan_isgro - Smart. Funny. Loyal. Kind. Honest. Just the total package of a person.

@MicaelaCBarrett - An honest-to-God ray of sunshine, and has been since she was a kid.

@AranTalk - Jen and Tom are listed separately so this is for Joe: if someone told me they didn’t like Joe Perry, I simply wouldn’t believe them.

If they insisted, I’d stop talking to them.

Like, forever.

@VinnyProAD - He will probably pretend to be mad at me for saying this, but whatever: A wiser and smarter and kinder man than he’d ever want to let on.

@audio_dungeon - Most of them are listed here individually so this one’s for Tony: found a way to do what he loves as his job, and that’s the dream.

@BrookeArmsAD - Another honest-to-God ray of sunshine.

@AtriumComics - A jerk. A complete kneebiter.

@Giuffra316 - I am always happy to see this guy the few times a year our paths cross, which is really saying something because as previously stated, for the most part I don’t actually like anyone.

@robwhart - A guy my age and from my hometown who is vastly more successful than I am in our chosen field and I feel zero resentment or envy about it. He’s *that* good.

@SteveHernon - My oldest friend by a considerable margin. Dedicated educator, husband, father, and son.

@mike_acanfora - You know how you look back on high school and are like “God, my friends and I were such little assholes back then”?

Mike wasn’t. All the rest of us were, but not him. I don’t know why he hung out with us.

Also? Has excellent taste in books.

@rossbrewing - Possibly the most bold and self-confident person I know. It’s almost a superpower.

@KatAONeill - I am actually not entirely sure what Kat’s been up to the last few years but I am certain she’s kicking ass at it.

@Boylan - One of my roughly three hundred younger cousins, and the only person I can ever describe as once having been “my roommate.” We were both a little out-to-sea at the time but he’s really gotten it together since, and I’m proud of him.

@Tom_Cocozza - You know that scene in Tombstone where some guy asks Doc Holliday “Why are you doing this?”

And Doc says “Because Wyatt Earp is my friend.”

And the guy says “Hell, I got lotsa friends”

And Doc says “I don’t.”

That’s how I feel about Tom Cocozza.

@lincolnwrites - I swear to God I mean this: if you asked me to describe what it means to describe a person as “cool,” I’d describe Lincoln.

@JenIsgro - The only writing partner I’ve ever had, and maybe the most diversely and deeply talented person I’ve ever (not technically) met.

@Coco8309 - Every nice thing I said about everyone else applies to him as well, and then some. A gentleman and a scholar and a bad motherfucker.

I think that’s everyone.

Happy Monday, all!

Stay dry.

Jesus Christ, I’m tired.
