I'm not around; I'm probably somewhere nearby but didn't hear the phone ring, so I'll call you back when I manage to get the time. I'm still figuring out this texting stuff, so replies tend to be slow, sorry. If it's an emergency, keep calling, I'll manage to find my phone eventually! Although if it's an emergency, there are probably better people ( Read more... )

I think I may have gone a little overboard with quotes. I have notebooks in my room just full of them - I mean I still like to go over them, things I read, things I picked up along the way. I feel like I should organize them in some way or another but that never really pans out all the way, I just get distracted by them and sit and read them.

I've been thinking about religion more and more often.

[There's the sound of people walking by and talking]I know I haven't been on the Network very often lately. I suppose that's because I've been distracted, not that I've been busy. Maybe I want to be busy, though, and so I try and keep distracted, although I know that the human brain doesn't ( Read more... )

After this week, it's almost nice to see so many people here. Like maybe everything's over and things just go on, you know ( Read more... )

[There's a huff, and a frustrated noise from someone who never seems to get frustrated at any other time.]

5, 405, 110 - these numbers don't mean anything.

All I wanted to do was see if I could find George's house and now I'm totally turned around.

[Zombies have yet to be noticed, because a one Kenny Potter is distracted]I've lived here all my ( Read more... )

After these weekends with a lot of different curses at once, I always end up wondering what if. What if I decided, when I was in high school, to study law instead of literature? What if when I was a kid, my parents sent me away to boarding school? What if I lived in a world like George Orwell's 1984, as a member of the Party? What if I was Russian ( Read more... )

"Really great people make you feel that you, too, can become great." -Mark Twain

I like Mark Twain. I mean beyond reading Tom Sawyer cover to cover at least ten times as a kid, I think he was a smart guy. Even though I hear he was terrible at keeping his money, I don't really think that's any indication of success anyway, although my father would ( Read more... )

[The camera is on, and filming a young man in a pair of shorts and a shirt on the beach. He's relaxing on the sand, a pair of sunglasses on. It's not remarkably warm, but it's warm enough for Kenny, who is smiling a little.]You know I shouldn't be happy. I know I should be afraid, or at the very least cautious, but it's a nice day and there's no ( Read more... )

Spontaneous combustion is supposed to be an urban myth, isn't it? I mean I've heard of it and I'm sure somewhere in the depths of the library there's a book on it. Or maybe there was a book on it, now, there probably isn't anymore ( Read more... )

I have always imagined that Paradise will be a kind of library.-Jorge Luis Borges ( Read more... )
