semi-random question (i'm reserving the lable of random for the weird questions i've been asking of late...): what are you doing the weekend before thanksgiving?
i'm going to be about a half hour away that friday and satuday with band. not sure about the sunday yet. we should get together, either there or here that week :)
Candace, I miss you. A lot. I knew that already, but reading this made me remember why. I miss being able to talk to someone who just happens to think about a lot of the same things that I think about.
Random notes: -if I was asked the same twenty questions you outlined, I (hope I) would be happy with my life. -I love that quote, and had a huge document full of further thoughts on that post about love that I lost somehow. But I want to discuss that kind of love with you more, because it makes me believe for a little while that it's out there. -You should (maybe) read The Stone Gods by Jeanette Winterson. I know I tell everyone to read her all the time, and I dunno if you liked her writing style when you read her other book. But Stone Gods is her latest and is definitely a sci-fi book in everything but label. She seems to intensify her usual writing style until a lot of it is so vague that you can barely tell, and her characters continually talk about how they don't like sci-fi in some weird compensation technique or something...

I miss you too! We really have to talk about that kind of love for a little. Maybe we should write a book about it. You know, for someone who's never felt it at all (not in a romantic sense at least -- but in a platonic, most definitely) I could probably go on for a while about it. :)
Isn't that quote just glorious? I might have to add it to my wall of quotes -- I've covered my closet doors with my favorites!
I will read Stone Gods once I find it and have the time! I have like twenty books that I should read for school or work or both but if I get done with those I'll definitely look up Winterson. I know what it's like to need someone to read something so you can talk to them about it. If there's one book I wish you would read so I could talk to you about it, it's Julie E. Czerneda's A Thousand Words for Stranger. Read it and I will love you even more than I already do, which I'm not sure is physically possible, though it is probably metaphysically possible. :) If you don't read it before I see you again it might be your
