my mind blocks the oxygen

Aunt Debbie (who is not really my aunt) told me once that you are not a real woman--a woman who feels, who hurts, who breathes--until you've listened to Joni Mitchell's album "Blue" from beginning to end, and cried

I'm related to you? Really? Because that sounded remotely human. Well, I guess that's exaggerating. The rest of the family being somehow "inhuman" that is.

Anywho, didn't mean to insult you about "Donnie Darko" but I hope, honestly, that you've heard about the theatrical re-release of the director's cut. I guess it has some new footage which may or may not be cool. (Reference: Star Wars Special Edition. It argues both sides.) It opens in LA & NY with more dates to be announced. Yay! That beats a cure for cancer anyday!

Ha.

What sounded remotely human?

And let's definately talk about the inhumanity of the remainder of our family. I sit and think about it sometimes, on the drives home from endless baby-sitting jobs, and I can't help but laugh. Coincidentally, the only pair not judging anyone are the priest and the nun--oh, and by the way, Kathleen informed me I should join the nunnery. I've yet to decide if this is just her attempt at solid family advice, or a gentle hint to me that my few glaring human qualities need an ass smacking from The Big One.

i have an aunt debbie. except she's really my aunt.

hennyway...i've noticed that whenever you feel something, i mean REALLY feel something, you write unbelievable stuff. take for instance this entry--unbelievable. from the very first line, it had me going and i couldn't stop. and this entry came out because you were feeling something; anger, pain, disappointment, whatever it was. so it seems to me that you write your best, naturally, when you're feeling it. and my point is that while i know you're a perfectionist when it comes to details, i don't think it really matters if the pain actually came first or the laugh, or the past vs. the present. you're the one writing the book--talk about what's in your heart. what YOU see them for and what YOU think came first or second. after all, like i said, you write your best when you're writing from the heart.

From the bottom of that same, bumbling heart...thankyou. I needed that.

Legally Blond and you will feel specialicious.

Ah!

If I underminded the integrity of your writing, inadvertantly, I apologize. I tend to get smart-assed unneccesarily. I simply meant to make light of the fact that archaic beliefs never go out of style, unfortunately for you and I. (And you SHOULD join a fucking convent, weirdo.)

PS. I was once given an option from the family to have a new identity in another state for $10,000.

PPS. Drugs and online communication, it's a winning combination!

PPPS. Fuck the "Big One" but "Special K" still rules...
