the italian socialist and her passenger make their way across the conservative dutch town in their foreign-made automobile while listening to modest mouse at a volume somewhere between whisper-level and not-so-hushed-tone. no, they don't really feel intimidated by their surroundings as one might think. on the contrary, they are quite confident in

i like that: "this is just one example, one family, in a town of thousands." i have this weird thing that when i'm walking or driving around, i just want to know the stories of the people in certain houses... and it's this powerful feeling, it's not just a little curiousity. i just stare into windows and wonder what's happened there until they're out of sight. and i'll never know

thanks for the feedback. originally this little story was about two teenagers listening to modest mouse, so it made more sense. then i changed it to a mother and her son, but i still wanted modest mouse in there because i was listening to them when i wrote this. but i agree, after reading it again, the sentence you talk about doesn't quite fit with the rest.

i know what you mean about feeling self conscious about your journal. that's one of the main reasons i don't really do many personal entries. i was censoring a lot of mine too. even though i don't write personal stuff in an up-front way, a lot of the emotions or settings or philosophies in my fictional stories are closely related to my own at the time i write them.

i'm not sure what my favorite modest mouse song is. i've listened to float on a lot recently, but just because it's really catchy. i like third planet a lot, especially the lyrics.

yeah, keep me posted if you make a new journal. no, i won't judge you.
