it's about time

I haven't been back for awhile. It's not often I find something that i should frequent. the verb. to frequent. It's a really good one and if you find something it can apply to, it's just so satisfying. I frequent books and I frequent painting and music and not much else. I probably sound like every other "artsy" kid who wants to be half-literate out there. Well, I'm here to tell you two things. As I said before I stumbled upon this livejournal clicking friends' friends and friends' friends' friends' etc. (Does livejournal madness ever end?) And I'm embarrassed, humbled, humiliated, and slightly chagrined to say that upon closer inspection of your own livejournal (this perhaps, is not just yours alone), I have realized that I, indeed, know you better than you know me. This means, upon very unfair grounds--and for this I apologize--I am now aware that quite accidentally, we go to the same school and I do, actually, recognize you. Gasp-factor waaaay up, eh? Clicking enough livejournal links I figured I might be out of the what I thought was an annoyingly narrow circle of lewistonians (only meaning that there were too few that appreciated certain things, not that they were annoying). Upon finding Hunter Thompson remarks, I was almost positive I was out of it. But my fucking naivite and lack of scrupulous info and picture checking skills strikes again. And here we are, me feeling awkward and embarrassed, and probably unprepared to ever tell you who I am (yes, I might be a coward), or at least embarrassed to do so publicly in the manner by which we have been communicating. Maybe I can still remain anonymous, although I know that's unfair. I now realized I have had three things to tell you, the second being that I seem to always sound so convoluted and conceited in my posts, and to say, well, er, um, oops! I really hope I'm not fucking stuck up. I hate stuck up people. Hot damn, I might be hypocritical too. My third thing was to tell you to check out the march issue of Rollingstone. Having been a reader of it for probably two (?) years now, though some of the musical inaccuracy, bias, and overall sick compromisation (if that wasn't a goddamn word, it is now) of its writers has hit me recently, I can't deny that I enjoy reading the musical reviews, readers' comments, and artists' biographical sections. The march issue features on the cover and throughout most of the pages extensive Hunter S. Thompson coverage. Thrilled to see this waiting in the mail, I read it today for an hour or so (hurrah! It's fucking longer than a normal article!) and it was amazing. So consider this a stand up recommendation to read it from a girl who knows still too little about a great man. Here's a quote about the man from the stone: "His favorite all-time motto emanated from the Revolutionary War: 'Don't Tread on Me.'" He's the fuckin' man.
He's the fuckin' man.
