oh, you.

{forgive me. tonight is not the night for eloquent comments.
i just thought you should know, you're wonderful this way.}

[oceanfloors]

forgiven, forgiven. i don't expect eloquent comments from you, just knowing you care makes me smile so pink.

"Thoughts grow on me like my bamboo, slowly, but god, when they finally take hold it is impossible to unroot them."

this whole entry was so BEAUTIFUL, jessica. i must hold onto it for forever.

[oceanfloors]

forever is an awfully long time, kelli. you must promise that you will never let go of me.

[melaverdebella]

i won't ever let go of you. you are too lovely. i really like you, you know?

people have never held just one color for me. i associate people and things with multiple colors.

i think you are a rich purple and teal - your name and you words always ring out rich deep purples and teals to me.

[oceanfloors]

oh kelli, adore you beyond words. i think you know that by now.

a rich purple and teal, that sounds like royalty to me! it is funny because i am thinking of painting my room those colors. dark purple and teal and white.

to me, you are a green like the birth of plants, life, and ideas, but you are also a radiant red, persistence and energy and never-giving-up.

Re: It might sound strange but...

[oceanfloors]

It doesn't sound strange at all; I would love to hear all about your colors and moods. Les Slesnick is simply amazing & I don't really know how else to describe how his work makes me feel.

[oceanfloors]

oh god, he just blows my mind. how do i find all these photographers? i close my eyes and wish for them. i have an entire web of finds that i've woven, but they are nothing secret. i will make a list for you one day.

a hello kitty green? that sounds wonderful, don't be sorry, it's up to you, not me. i was thinking that green this morning, actually. to me, you are like white paint with a drop of yellow and a drop of red, so a white that is just barely glowing orange-gold.

most times, i cannot believe you actually read the things i write and think they are wonderful, but thank you.

Lindsay, I have that usericon as well! It makes me smile to see that we pick the same things unintentionally. I will make a list for you sometime in ascetics, which could use a few updates. The thing is, I'm feeling more confident in this journal, so I have less to hide. Does that make any sense?

I was thinking of making a voice post in Chinese, how does that sound?

I looked up and across from the screen, trying to think of what to say to you in response, and suddenly it is snowing and I can't control my breathing and things like distance and happenstance and cold hands are more than I can cope with.

I think about people as colours when I try to go to sleep, counting shades instead of sheep.

[oceanfloors]

It's snowing! Oh God, I'm so jealous. It hasn't snowed here in seven years or so.

Counting shades instead of sheep, that sounds marvelous. I count words to sleep, places. Rio Grande, Munich, Kyoto, Chicago, Tibet.

[ofbirdsandwires]

It only snowed for a little while, and then again when I was driving my brother to his house. I would like to see proper, thick, heavy snow again.

Kelli's comment about you being rich purples and teals is exactly right. When I first read your words I would have said burnt orange and deep pink, but now it is different. It is better, deeper.

[oceanfloors]

I would like to see some snow as well. You will have to take pictures if it ever snows & send them to me, so I can close my eyes and pretend I'm there catching snowflakes in my eyes.
