Advent calendar of friends, ericsjournal

reyl has a wonderful idea on his LJ: "For December I'm going to take one person from my friend list each day and tell you about them, and why they are awesome." I've decided to steal this idea. Feel free to steal it from me if you like it. (Caveat: I've got 157 people on my friends list. I can't get to everyone. Be aware that you're all awesome.)

December 1: ericsjournal

Eric is the emperor of a a micronation with citizens numbering in the hundreds. He's a fantastic writer and one of the quickest thinkers and most creative people I've ever met. He's also probably the oldest friend I still keep in touch with. We've known each other since grade 8, and have shared such glorious memories as running for student council president as hand puppets, causing an entire classroom to go numb with shock, sowing confusion and enlightenment at every given opportunity, and laughing uncontrollably on many, many occasions. Oh, and he'll officially be a doctor by the early summer, which is step one on his path to world domination. (I'm getting Western Europe. Just wait for it.)
