"It's safe to say that in a true war story nothing is ever absolutely true."

And I wonder if that's ever the same in real stories... "story-truth is truer sometimes than happening-truth." Meh. Fiction. Words. Ideas. Impressions. Letters mixed together to form sounds... Stories. Telling stories is fun, setting around and listening to stories is fun - re-living stories is amusing too. But your remembering, and my remembering can sometimes be different... and depending on the listeners, sometimes the whole story doesn't come out, and sometimes it does, but gets changed? And sometimes in the telling, the story is molded as it is passed down... and sometimes, the story just sits. Sometimes there are moments where the story is told silently between people, and sometimes the story is just known without being known. Stories are funny that way. Sometimes I'm accused of knowing the story and not telling it, or telling parts but never the whole. Stories are special, and sometimes, if you're not there to witness them, it's never really the same. Sad in a way, or maybe not. Maybe I'm thinking too much.

Work was lame. My hopes are that it will be worse tomorrow (that way I wont be too terribly disappointed). I'm not dead yet via mass murder from my mother. I wore a skirt today - everyone missed out. And any thoughts of me being "normal" should be deleted from everyone's thoughts. I might have normal moments, but in general I don't think I fit that category. I'm sorry if I let you down. It happens.

Everyone should come to the zoo on the 21. Desert, drinking and dancing? Maybe the first two. I don't dance, but you can.
