....all my life, I've been working them angels overtimeI gotta learn how to say "no" - I'm terrible at it. I like to help people - hence becoming a reference librarian - but I don't know when to stop. I'm like my mom in that respect...we both have "SUCKER" tattooed on our foreheads in ink only others can see. :P We'll help just about anybody who ( Read more... )

...the wind blows hard, pulls these clothes around;
I harbor all the same worries as most,
the temptation's to leave, or to give up the ghost.
I wrestle with an outlook on life
that shifts between darkness and shadowy light....

The days seem heavier and heavier in my mind, the human ocean too close and warm. Just you, the ( Read more... )

...these are the days that press down, all the way through, the dull, sensuous days of southern summer, creeping from the edge of the earth like a slowly-spreading pool of water...

...until the summer nights return, until we close our eyes...ah, so sweet, so wrong, so heavy and heady these long days, days which I do not want, do not love. But I ( Read more... )

Last night I went and watched "Twin Peaks" with SP...AND IT WAS THE AWESOMEST EPISODE EVER because it contained this scene:

I can't tell you how...chilling and thrilling I find this scene to be. It's telling, and somehow it encapsulates the whole "Twin Peaks" experience. Tonight we watch another episode, and we find out exactly who (and perhaps ( Read more... )

...I was watching this yesterday, and I got quite attached to a song in the middle of it, "Three is a magic number," which turned out to be from Schoolhouse Rock. So I found it and downloaded it to my iTouch, and now I can't stop listening to it. It's surprisingly metaphysical for a kids' song, but then I remind myself: it was the '70s, people ( Read more... )

Recognizing that you have a problem is the first step towards overcoming it, or so they say. And I would believe that - today I feel much more focused, much more calm in my approach to the world. I feel...content with understanding better - not thoroughly, but better - my relative position to those around me. See, I subscribe to the idea that part ( Read more... )

I think I've figured some things out - and it makes me feel calmer. Not better, but calmer. I am reminded of something from information theory: information is neither good nor bad; it is what it is. It's what one does with it that: (a) transforms information into knowledge, and (b) provides it with some kind of value, but only in so much as ( Read more... )

...why are you standing in one place?Fear, I think. Not so much the uncertainty principle, but rather ramifications. Outcomes. And I'm tired, too. There are things burning beneath my skin, and I can't define them. It frustrates me, hungers me, thwarts me. Words become suspicious in their inadequacy. The silence, sacred though it is, offers little ( Read more... )
