California's great, just don't turn your back on it. Creep alongside the wall and don't let it out of your sight.

Re: wow

i know. but it was real! and it actually led me to fill 100 pages of a paper journal as it transpired. my regular life seems so grey now.

HOT TIMES! I can't wait for the travel dedicated zine about your heavy trip, Man!!

[unluckymonkey]

PS glad you're not dead and such. That WOULD be such a shame.
PPS if you don't make it haunt me ok? but not while I pee as I SO couldn't ever go...

[agentdanger]

i think i came closer to killing than being killed. (it was dark, and being lost and paranoid i gripped my knife, ready to rumble should the need arise... then a mexican lady whom i'd mistaken for a trash can said hi. fortunately we both emerged from that encounter unscathed.)

i will definitely haunt you. i'm not going gently into that good night, NO SIR!

[unluckymonkey]

whoa! It's been YEARS since I was mistaken for garbage. BOY do I miss those days. Ever seen the movie Delicatessan? The opening character was my brother Louis. It runs in the family.

Kate,

I deleted my journal, which you noticed. My reasons were personal; I would discuss them with you, but not here. I have restored it, and in a sense, myself, and hope that you would be inclined to reciprocate our LJ friendship once more. It would do me honor.
