We like people for their qualities, but love them for their defects

I would've never thought that a line from a movie about a comic book based on the idea that a demon is working for the USA as a paranormal investigator after being summoned by the Nazis would've had so much resonance for me -- but amazingly enough, after the dark teatime of the soul that I've been battling for the past month or so, that quote I keep coming back to.

I'm gonna get introspective for a moment (living up to that portion of the blog's name) and give a lot of credit to my husband and friends for helping me -- whether they knew it or not. I may not have talked about it much (or too much in certain instances), but just being around them, keeping me distracted from the bullshit that was threatening to choke me and just being the overall cool people they are made me really appreciate them.

It's not that I didn't appreciate them before, but after this, I feel like I've been blessed. Without a good crew of friends, it's hard to get through the evil times. And frankly, my buddies have helped me through a lot. Because of this, I feel like they all deserve a little love in this corner of the Internet universe. Ya'll (and you know who you are) are great and good people and thanks for just being there and not sucking -- unlike the rest of humanity.

OK, enough love, let's get back to the snark.
