what I have to say after all
janis won't die
Originally uploaded by Foxtongue. I leave for Montreal in a week and I'm still quietly lost as to what I should be packing. Warm things. Well, yes, I have about three of those. I have a scarf, a half-stolen plaid shirt that's missing some crucial buttons, and a fleecy skirt. Now what? I'm not even organized enough to get myself fed in the mornings before work. Ah misery me, I'm feeling rather alone.
Does anyone want a bus pass for two weeks? I certainly won't be using it from December 10th to 24th. These little bits of foil and paper are untransferable, I'd hate to see the service provided go to waste.
Also, someone get this "Will design thermonuclear devices for food" (in Russian) T-shirt, for Graham, k?
And The Great Equation for Nicholas. Thanks. You're awesome.
I should be walking, airing out the musty smell of second-hand cigarettes my coat collects in the back room at work, but I am nervous of what I will find once I get past my first destination. I have a secondary plan, there is apparently a corset stitcher happening tonight at Andrew's new apartment, but the primary is that for a reason. The scathing thing most close to the thin skin of my heart is the first thing I want to address. There is no turn back time, no peering ahead. I had a half argument about this earlier this week with a partially ex-lover. What's real is what needs to be dealt with, and what's now is all that we have to take chances with. What should be done should be done, regardless of imagined consequence. This is what I told him, irritation growing. I was falling in front of someone, hitting the ground hard with verbal feet that were suddenly fists curled in anticipation of the general unfairness of the world. Me, I surprised myself. I'm not used to admitting heat into myself. I usually keep everything I want very under control and very away from me. He said that I was intimidating. I would be surprised except that I'm beginning to get used to it.
What happens when you begin to reject neglect in the face of everything you want?
