In the silence of cupboards, in the memory of flowers, sweet in the bottom of teacups, everywhere: Miranda in the solace of soft sheets. Tuesday at the circus, mother in a blue skirt, with handbag woven from wheat, hair rolled in half moons, funnel cakes for a cold nickel. The Penguin Boy performs Shakespeare on a Beach Ball!

when i read your live journal posts, i am reminded of trying to get through page one of Finnegan's Wake. They say the average reader should be on page 39 of Finnegan's Wake after about twelve years. I mean this as the highest form of compliment, of course.

take it easy, penguin boy

how random is this, and who's to say... twistyrodriguez August 17 2002, 06:09:57 UTC
...randomness doesn't spill into organization.

this was sent to me from a stranger, I've yet to check it out, but the hell,
a copy and paste away and I passed the life along

"
Hey, you don't know me, but I found your journal via searching people with the interest of "James Joyce." I've got a Joyce community on LJ at j_joyce and, sadly, membership is scarce. If you're interested, I urge you to join.

If this message has upset you in any fashion, I truly am sorry. It just depresses me that over 600 people have "James Joyce" as an interest, and community membership is less then a dozen. I love the man so much that I'm practically begging random people to come talk about him."

...right

thats what I was thinking

I don't care to join, but thanks for the offer. It's not the idea, it's just that, i'm not a huge james joyce fan. I respect his work, it's just not my style. I picked up finnegan's wake laste year on a whim, after reading "fierce invalids home from hot climates" by Tom Robbins. Robbins, i get the feeling, is a huge joyce fan. I on the other hand am either too stupid or too ADD to keep up with finnegan's wake.

on that note, as i said before, thanks for the offer.

take it easy

Finally...another long awaited post by penguinboy. And certainly I am not disappointed. Keep up the writing, and post more often! You pique the deepest intrest of my mind.

On another note...I wonder if bitchy girl will post a reply... =P

Feeling somewhat of an idiot as write this. You seem to do this often, so I hate to be one to ask...who are you...in light that you more than likely will ignore this comment. I don't like to be like others so I suppose I cannot praise your writting. (although I do find it...deep?) I'm extremely far from being a jerk and requesting that you remove me...I also don't find fault in you being...open (would you consider it open...or friendly?). But still I do not know you like some of the others appear to.
So whatever am I to do in this situation?

So its come to this. Glowing amber horns masking whats left of words unsaid. She once spoke of this, "It's in the clouds. Nevermind your broken eyes, shameful posture." Still I sit. Awating.
