'Rules: Comment and I'll give you a letter. In your journal, list 10 of your favorite songs that begin with that letter.' i was given L, in honor of chicago's mass transit. i'm going to do as he did, and rank alphabetically by author, so i don't have to rank by preference. here goes ( Read more... ) -
you say you'll find me soon the way i was beneath the full midwestern moon
this semester has already had serious ups and downs, but i am very optimistic on the whole. i'm about to go off thrifting. i ate a pound of beef. i've already had a miraculous amount of good one-on-one hang out time with several different friends, and a reading/tea party, and even though i failed at one thing i tried to do, i'm going to do ( Read more... ) -
hide and seek... trains and sewing machines
i am feeling more and more cheerful as the day of arrival approaches. i still do feel a bit still and like i am drawing back, but 3+ people on campus with whom i can snuggle is very healing. all summer, i had physical contact only when with marysia, davi or jackie, and during my visit with lauren, and it was just not often, not a lot. plus i have ( Read more... ) -
oh, i can still see that lonesome road stretched out before me
i'm glad to say that i don't feel immersed in wretchedness, as i did this time last year. however, i still feel extremely withdrawn, physically and emotionally, from my friends and those that i wish were my friends. i find it incredibly easy to believe that people just don't like me, or are for some reason displeased with me, that i've angered my ( Read more... ) -
and i heard 'em say, nothing's ever promised tomorrow, today
what is the thing i most desire? is it the return of my father? is it financial security? sexual fulfillment? romantic happiness? all of these last three could be classed as removals of external worries... i know that it is not true that the thing i would most like is to be thinner. it seems unlikely that it is any of the last three, the removals ( Read more... ) -
i'm tryin' to claim things i haven't earned honest, man
the actor who played JD in Heathers is now doing voice-overs for autotrader.com commercials. i find this EXTREMELY disorienting. i mean, really.
just sayin'
also, Jerry Falwell died. johnnie's reaction was "i'm just kinda bored by the whole ordeal, couldn't it have been a coke overdose"- i don't know what i can add to that.

i have been reading so much internet news. it's nice, if depressing. i feel more real and present as a citizen than i do at school, i think ( Read more... ) -
you've got a fast car- is it fast enough that you can fly away?
my sister is amazing. i missed new york more than i had realized. thursday night, i got to go in here and also take approximately a million free sci-fi and fantasy books. did you know tor publishes robert jordan, orson scott card, spider robinson, piers anthony and charles de lint? also battlestar galactica books and jane yolen and patricia wrede.

kissing just for practice, can we please be objective, 'cuz the other boys are queuing up behind us
i'm home, and of course missing people. i definitely ended the semester on a more positive note than i anticipated, though, which is lovely. and in the past two weeks i've spent tons of time with all sorts of people i wanted to spend time with, even better. i resolved something- actually, two things- which were really bothering me, and i have ( Read more... )
