i needn't mention how essential dreaming is to the character of the rock star

[bakewithmother]

it seems i've started posting again, so, here goes:
To days of inspiration,
Playing hookey, making something
Out of nothing, the need
To express-

To communicate,

To going against the grain...

beginning tuesday, i spent 40 hours shut away from the world with three lovely boys (?) on rotation, and three movies full of glitter and music and angst.  40

I can't remember whether that's a Mick Rock quote on your subject heading, but either way I commend you for it!
Perhaps its David Bowie?

to the best of my knowledge it's original todd haynes, but i'm looking into it...

[tzarohell]

Todd Haynes? Original? Surely not!

(and upon looking in my Mick Rock quotes book, I see it isn't there, so I think I have been trounced!)

[bakewithmother]

i use 'original' in a way that perhaps overlaps with but doesn't fully represent the main dictionary definition. (though both of those that follow are given online, the latter is more prevalent).
created, undertaken, or presented for the first time as opposed to new, fresh, inventive or novel.

i am too dependent on the internet...

I want to save this entry somehow. I want to print it out and hand it out to people (but I won't, of course). So I'll just read it again.

[bakewithmother]

who would you want to hand it to? what about it do you want to keep?

i wish i could learn to write again, it's been so long since i wrote anything that straddled the line between beautiful, personal, meaningful, articulate and suitable for public consumption.

i end up with sentences of fifteen clauses that have to be decoded like a puzzle.
