She had ferrets as pets; I believe this is based on a photograph of one, and the wood sprite that I opened this site entry with.
we never talked as much as I wanted to afterward. I never showed her much of my artwork but she was always supportive
when I did. Again, I didn’t have many people to show it to, and was slow to develop what skill I had. In a very rare gesture,
in December of 2007, I mailed a pencil drawing strikingly similar to the one near the top of this entry, that I made of/based
on Hilary to her home address, and several times afterward, without my having mentioned it, she claimed to still have the
dumb thing, having put it in a frame, even, and I wish I could have sent something better, later! I made up one of my
crummy holiday cards more recently, and included some tiny bizarre drawings whose inspiration I can no longer recall, but
never got around to sending it. And maybe I should hold on to it, since it is the only physical space souvenir I have that is
Hilary-related (also, I eh lost it again). She had mentioned across a few years having a box that she meant to send to me but
could never get around to it. I wish I had asked what was in the box!

I keep showing these things. On Hilary’s website there was a “webcam” page, but the image only updated once a week or
so, and generally showed a staged viewpoint. I saved a bunch of them, I wish I had saved more! Maybe it makes me seem
like a creep, but in fact the more I have worried about coming across as creepy, the fewer friends I have had.
