in stumbling about for a freinds journal, i found yours. is your icon by egon scheile?

[komazalea]

egon schiele, indeed.
yes.
and hello.

[dynamite_eyes]

why pardon me, hello to you as well. i also notice that you're a calexico fan. not to mention that you have several other highly exceptional interests as well.

[komazalea]

why thank you.
calexico is gold.
"woven birds" is my favorite song i decided last week.
well...for now.

good taste in movies?
yes,
that would be you.

[dynamite_eyes]

i enjoy your interest as well, examples of which would be:

mountian smoking
weak lungs
suicide methods
psychology
underwear that fit right
lo-fi

i find them interesting too. and by the way, my name's david.

hi david,
i'm amber. (actually i think i told people to start calling me azalea, but i don't know if i can commit. just pick one.)

mountain smoking is the best. i don't even know what it is, but i assure you it's one of my most favorite hobbies.

[dynamite_eyes]

i think i'll go with amber. how are you amber?

would mountain smoking be smoking in the mountains? never done it myself. sounds nice though.

Re:

[komazalea]

yeah well when i bought these lighters a couple weeks ago, the clerk was like "you can't use these in the mountains...they don't work in high elevations" and i said "well damn that sucks cause i was planning on doing some mountain smoking"
or something like that.

just pretend it was the funniest thing you ever heard.

[dynamite_eyes]

i did laugh. thats exactly the kind of joke i like. the extemporaneous quality, the involvement of smoking, the stupid clerk, the sarcasm, i love it. i like steve martin, woody allen, groucho marx, the tongue in cheek comedy which seems so effortless.

woody allen had this bit where he gave a great example of oral contraception.

"so i was in paris, in a bar, and there was this beautiful yound lady at the bar. so i went over, and introduced myself. after we had a few drinks and some conversation, i asked her if she'd like to go to bed with me. and she said no."

somehow i think of moutian smoking and oral contraception in the same light. i suppose you smoke cigarettes?

[komazalea]

i suppose i do (smoke cigarettes).
just don't tell my mother.

i adore sarcasm and dark humor.

and when i read that woody allen quote it reminded me of this book "anthropology" by dan rhodes.
ever read it?
it's gold.

[dynamite_eyes]

i think i may have been slacking in my anthropology studies lately. i am fairly certain i have never even heard of that book. what brought about the recolection of dan rhodes?

[komazalea]

"real" by dan rhodes (from "anthropology")

"angelique agreed to be my girlfriend. to celebrate i took her for a candle-light dinner, and i had to keep pinching myself to make sure i wasn't dreaming. we started seeing more of each other. before long, pinching stopped being enough, and i started sticking pins in my face. these days even pins can't convince me she's really there. every evening i prepare a romantic meal. as i gaze at her immaculately arranged hair and faultlessly made-up face, i carve chunks out of my flesh with a surgical saw. somehow it still seems too perfect to be real."

[dynamite_eyes]

wow. thats marvelous. i think i might have to pick me up a copy. i feel silly thinking that it was about homo-erectus and all his descendents. are you a salinger fan?
