i'm so glad you went to see her live. i imagine it was no less than magical.

i relate. when i slip into a crevice and it gets dark, so many times i sit in it, knowing how to get out, but lacking motivation to pick up any known tools. and i still stress about being in the crevice and sigh that i want out. . . until one day i decide i've had enough and pick up my tools again.

when i'm out, i rarely understand why i wasted so much time in the crevice. . . all i can think is that something was happening within me that i couldn't see at the time. . .something that needed to happen. the growth within the cocoon, in spite of me, perhaps.

however, i find myself lately preferring the silent hum of thoughtlessness to the overthinking wallow i used to do. probably because i have to think so much for class. now it's the thousand pound pen--the pen that has answers i don't usually want to hear.

oh, and by the way. . . i just followed the link. her myspace page says she was born in 1982.

meaning, she's the same age as us.

i feel so behind.

at least poets aren't supposedly at their peak until middle age. if i wanted to be a rockstar or a model, i'd be a has-been already. or a never-was. ack.

i'm jealous of your experience with joanna.
i am glad for you.
i am queen isolator. it has been suggested that i can call and say i'm isolating and then hang up. i like that. we aren't crazy, we are aware.
i love you writting.
