i don't know-- this is amazing. i want to come back and look at it more. the words here flow so well i don't know if they're fact or fiction and i don't care, because they remind me of so many things. growing up in a small town; white trash. walmart dirty kids and my friend in middle school used to wear green nurse garb because she had nothing else. she grew up the trashiest of our friends- the kind where the pets outnumbered the children and there wasn't enough money to feed both. they had a pet raccoon and a freshwater dolphin. everyone called her a skank and when she got old enough she moved to virginia and married a CIA man twenty years her senior and now she looks like a supermodel and i think she did it the only way she could.
Used to hang out everyday after school for a few months in the 4th grade with a Jehovah's Witness who was two years older than me. He kept trying to convert me, wouldn't let me give him a birthday present.
In all the fantasies I had of having a cousin the possibility getting beat up never crossed my mind. There were some very cruel teachers floating around that school. These are bring up a lot of different responses in me but they can't really pull together anywhere.
You like Joyce, right? I'm needing some serious reading this summer.
My poor cousin. She was also terrified of rain. And liked to cheat on the Ouija board.
Yes, love Joyce but could not survive him without a cambridge companion. Right now I'm reading the Exile of James Joyce and it is pretty helpful/insightful. I cannot read Finnegan's Wake really, no not at all,, but dissecting pieces of it is really fun. I really like Ulysses, but it took me probably a year to get through all of it and grasp it at the same time. His short stories, Dubliners, is great. The Portrait of the Artist of a Young Man is very male, I could see you not being as into it, but the way it details Catholic guilt and the emergence of an artist within an adolescent is so amazing to me, I really related to those feelings of alienation and oneness (simultaneous) that ensues during that time period.
Just did Karaoke for the first time in my life. The only song I sang was a Nirvana one. Serve the Servants. I watched that Autism video you posted. I know you disabled comments which probably means you don;t want comments on it. But I thought it was amazing. Such an interesting way to explain it. like you could explain various forms of autism through different colorings of sand around the world, or through different sorts of species of bird, but instead it was a series of stone. Very nice. Ugh, sorry I'm just so drunk for the first time in a very long while.
comments or no comments I guess it doesn't really matter... I know you think things are amazing.. I guess I disabled them because I just am tired of them...*not yours though* or any ONES... just .... I dont want them for the time being..
i dont even want a livejournal... i would delete it..but its the only way i can communicate with other people...
