"where were you? i haven't seen you in a while."
"i'm here. i've just been quiet. i've sort of been living in a small storage area."
"why?"
"to keep you out of trouble. i always talk and say the wrong thing."
"well, you may not know that i love you because i am always mad at you. but i need you, otherwise i can't defend myself."
"you can...you just shouldn't depend on me to just open my mouth and massacre people's emotions."
"all right. you can stay in there as long as you like. but i'm always going to need you."
"yeah. and as long as you're around, i'm around."
"you think we can make it work?"
"my initial answer is, do we have a choice? but realistically it can be made to work. you're stuck in here with me."
"all right. you can go back in and stay there as long as you like."
"i'll be around."
i was probed a little today. usually i would feel that it's uncomfortable because i seldom like to be questioned eccesively. this person asked me about my father and i was straight forward in what i felt and explained. it's always a sort of stock of answers i carry around with me. but this person challenged me a little...at first i took offense (ahh, when don't i take offense?) but then i realized what they were trying to do...fix things. the way i push people to fix things. it doesn't really fix things, but it's supposed to give me a sense of satisfaction...so perhaps this is what this person got out of it. i had to explain that i never said i was a nice person when i said some of the things i said. in the words of the Scorpion Goddess St. Jen: face up to it. it's no big deal. if you can't stand the heat, don't get any closer.
well, that's a little extreme. but i know where she's coming from.
abkofilms will be releasing Jodorowsky's movies in america legitimately. that's fantastic. that makes it all worthwhile afterall...
