I brought my friend Dick for company since it was roughly a five-hour drive one way. I think I have mentioned him before; he and I have been friends for more than ten years, though I used to be closer to his brother whom I lived and worked with in Baton Rouge for about six months (along with Hoda, who actually made it to Elder at Theoryland but is probably remembered by few).
Dick and I didn’t see each other for several years, and then I happened to go to his house one day (this was after RJ died) and I noticed A Crown of Swords on his coffee table. He was reading it for the first time, and he had no idea any of his friends had read it, so I told him and Hoda and I had read it and that I had more than read it (insert long explanation of Theoryland here). So between that and the fact that he told me he played Tetris Attack (the only video game I love), he and I started hanging out regularly. He finished the series in time to read Towers of Midnight when it came out. Then he started reading Brandon’s books, and has decided to name his as-yet-unborn son Kaladin, which resulted in a funny moment (paraphrased):
(Brandon is signing Dick’s book which is addressed to Kaladin.)
(Says something appreciative.)
I told Peter about that, and he said “That’s like the tenth Kaladin I’ve heard of.” (Okay, so I exaggerated; I think he actually said fifth.)
*sighs* That sounds like the kind of thing Peter would say…
(to Dick) Yeah, Peter is not as unfailingly courteous as Brandon…
*hilarious smirk*
…which is why I like him.
