I needed to distract myself from prom crap and life. So I'm sublimating all the crap, and it's coming out as something addressed to Jess. But it's in my voice, because I couldn't be damned to write Rory's at the moment. So it's half sublimated and half me. Hi. Enjoy. Or something.

I love livejournal simply because I get to read more of your writing and it always makes me rethink the R/J relationship. It's so wonderful that you're able to do that; take the glimpses into the lives of Stars Hollow residents and expand and extrapolate and still remain true to the characters.
""We had the experience but missed the meaning."" I've kind of resisted Eliot (he looks so hard) but I am most definitely going to read this poem, because I love the idea.
"yes, I know, poetry, if you look like that for too long, your face will freeze that way" - I tried to distinguish what I thought was Rory and what sounded like you, and this was you. It made me laugh, because it's so easy to picture Jess's look of utter disgust at the mention of poetry (although I personally believe he's a closet poetry reader.)
"That we were walking together, working together, we were...we were something, Jess." I love that Rory recognizes that they had something although she's not able to articulate exactly what that something was. She knows it was

I can't believe I didn't reply to this! Robin! I love you! You always give pretty reviews that make my day. And...yeah...thank you for this. Although I feel like "yes, I know, poetry, if you look like that for too long, your face will freeze that way" is more Rory than me. I'm in...umm...*goes to look* The fact that it's T.S. Eliot--Eliot comes up in, like, everything I write, which is bad--and you may not want to read for that line, as it's in Four Quartets which is a whole long book of a poem, and you'll want to leave that for after you've read a)Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats, which is what the musical "Cats" is based off of and is thoroughly silliness and b)The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock which is fairly typical Eliot and not that long and thoroughly re-readable. Eliot is hard. You just have to latch onto the lines that you love and sort of ride him out until his meanings come to you slowly

Wow, I love it!
I found you through the interest "Lorelai Leigh Gilmore" which only both of us share. :) I absolutely love the R/J pairing! I ♥ Jess.
Thanks for this. :)
