Much to say, and 22 minutes and 14 seconds just ain't enough time
There is much to say....
I could talk about
-the move,
-the new job,
-the insects in my house,
-the excitement,
-the loneliness,
-the inspiration,
-all the comp tickets I get,
-all the damn people I need to visit/call/meet/entertain up in this piece, -the fact there was a gas panic here yesterday with cars lined up in the street waiting for the pumps, and that I've seen gas as high as $3.69,
-the fact that I'm doing in-love-in-stupid-in-girly things that seem so odd and ridiculous or the fact that I have doubts about why, and how I think I feel
-that suddenly the phone is my best friend
-that Katrina hit me in a way that none of the other big recent tragedies did, and that although I'm saddened and angered and frustrated about it, I can't stop watching the coverage
-that once again, we've managed to beat down the poor, black and brown who are already frustrated and disenfranchised, and then criminalize and punish them, forgetting that they didn't make the system, and thereby giving us a reason to further ignore their voices and needs and stifle their spirits
-that I should be looking forward to a long weekend as hard as I've worked this week, but I've been dreading it and hope it's over soon
-that I'm an LJ addict and I'm starving to know what's going on with y'all...
But I'd rather just say hello (even though I haven't given y'all long enough to miss me) and float through some missed posts instead :)
