New Skin for the Old Ceremony
It may come as a shock to anyone that has bothered to keep me as a friend on lj that I can still type after a long long hiatus. I have been reading everyone else's blogs with great intensity and fondness.
I decided that my New Year's resolution is to be more connected. This means more blogging (oh jeez), more IMing and possibly even e-mail updates to my poor parents. Possibly considering postcard correspondence with anyone who would want some amazingly kitschy NYC/Brighton Beach postcards.
I also hope to have more of a connection with just about everything. I have been waxing poetic with Jen Yogi on her visit here and with Gregor about my brief stint on an Irish farm and have been obsessed with the pastoral landscape and agriculture culture for the past few days. I hope this isn't a sign of my inner luddite or even worse my inner "organic"-back to the soil WASP coming out. So -- I hope to become more connected to the land or in my case here at the edge of the city the sand, concrete and glass I call home -- might even pay a trip upstate to or to the outskirts of town to get my wellies on and rocks off.
I am very excited to try to commit my new life to paper and do it justice if I can. I want to be able to read this when I am older and possibly living in yet another city and know that if only for a few months or so I was entirely connected and wrapped up...enchanted with, bewitched by... a city, a man...by life.
Happy New Year to All.
PS for Miriam --- OMG tell me about the move and yr travels and yr loves
PS for Carmen --- OMG tell me all about Marshall and long distance and work
