Wonka, perhaps if there was a context of strong agreement about who did what wrong... Otherwise, "I forgive you" sounds a whole lot like, "I've passed judgement on you. Here's my verdict, which I'm giving you out of the kindness of my holier-than-thou heart."
And I wouldn't actually slug someone who said that. I'd just fantasize about it... I am a pacifist, you know...
Despite my best efforts at being a party poop, my housemate dragged me out to a moonlight kayak gathering on a nearby lake. Ooh, that was beautiful. Best firefly show ever on the way home, too. Then there was all that strawberry shortcake. Incredible homemade biscuits... Lovely solstice.
More GAL this evening. So important and such a challenge...
