so last night rita mae brown came to visit outwrite and do a reading/signing. that woman is an amazing speaker. i haven't read anything of hers, but she read from the first chapter of her new novel, the hunt ball and i want to read it badly. she has such wonderful, eye-opening views on politics. i really was amazed. one thing she mentioned went like this:
"everyone acts like democrats and republicans are so different. and they aren't. it's like the difference between syphilis & gonorrhea."
i really love my job. i'm meeting amazing men, amazing friends, amazing writers. it's the best place to be. i feel like i'm finally in a place where i feel comfortable, happy, and lucky. i am loving college (for the most part!), loving my friends, and loving the city. i really feel at home here.
tonight, i get the visit the wonderful gene leath. it's been months... too long!
also, i've stopped having dreams about him. it's good because i don't wake up feeling sick and lost anymore.
