There are certain moments in early spring that get to me. I mean, spring gets to everybody; it's the reason why we have the concept of spring fever in the first place ( Read more... )

you are here, the endless fascination of my own navel

ps in german "nostalgia" can be "die Sehnsucht nach Vergangenem". "yearning for the past".

That seems much worthier of how I feel. Though I am also giving some thought to downshifting into good old Trunkenheit.

pps i really meant my first comment, just in case it comes across as mocking... :(

You know, I like to think I'm getting to know you well enough that I can tell the difference. Which is awesome! I also owe you some commentary on Andrew McMahon, which when you described him I thought HE IS SINGING TO ME PERSONALLY and then I promptly did nothing about it at all. At any rate, it will get me to stop listening to this Wilco song for a while.

that is awesome, i am still misunderstood by many people on a regular basis jfklsdjf. :( you don't owe me any commentary, actually when i recced him i was thinking that it might be weird for you. but then i finally decided that he was too awesome not to. hopefully you liked him. he was so sweet irl, too. :( he gave me a hug.

My days like this aren't seasonal at all. They seem to be more sensory than anything else. I have them a lot with you, for example. We'll be sitting at a table in a restaurant and a song from our youth will play, and we'll recognize it at the same time and smile at each other, and I'm thinking we understand at that moment that we're at the same time us at thirty-whatever and us at nineteen. Maybe we aren't both thinking it, but is makes me happy to think that we're in sync like this.

Those are always good moments. And you are lovely.

Geez, this really resonated with me. I like the things you have to say.

I really appreciate your saying this.

I've been trying to be a little less self-conscious about writing in a public forum, but it is hard to shake the feeling that everything I say is blah blah boringcakes. It's funny because I came here because of fandom, but everyone on my friendslist is just so fascinating beyond their fandom interest. I wish everyone wrote more. THAT INCLUDES YOU, though it has been very nice to see you hanging around more lately. With the adorable photos and all.
