I feel forever fascinated by the concept of history-

whether that be layers of peeled paint:

The only time I saw my second-best friend in the entire world naked was because of peeling paint. (I just wrote peeling pants at first.) We were visiting NYC for the first time in 2001 on a mission trip despite the fact that I was already atheist and a half, and our first night in the city, we stayed at a really poor church in Harlem. When she went to take a shower that night, she found that not only did the bathroom light not work, but the walls were covered in black paint that was showing layers of dark red underneath. It was super-freaky to imagine showering alone in the blackness, so we set a flashlight up on the floor and got in together. BFFs!

Tessa and I belong to this somewhat embarrassing community. This is where I know Tessa from. As with this post, there is a history (a story, an explanation) there ( ... )

I can't believe Tessa's still into that community. When I met her some zillion years ago, she was talking about it nonstop, and a few of her friends from there became my friends until they imploded from being too Russian and from accidentally having babies and such. Communities are where it's at, and I'd love to find one that really feels homey to me.

I can't believe you called my writing "nonsense".

Obviously, I'm 200% in favor of these websites, especially ones that will get you jobs designing cover art for the Felice Brothers like Todd Rawson did. It's so cheap to put your name in a domain and looks so nice. My, uh, brother-in-law does website design, if you, uh, want to pay someone to design for you. Otherwise, I'll help out in any way I can by Googling answers to anything you might ask me.

Thanks for your offer of help. I'm lucky to know a lot of people who have done this very thing. So hopefully, I'll be able to understand what it is they tell me and I can do all this. I just paid $40 to register two variations of my actual name for two years. So that means I have to do this now ( ... )
