"Would you dance in the face of danger?"

We are driving by the school yard full of kids right as that song by David Byrne on The End of the World soundtrack begins with all the kids' playground chants. I look in the rearview and ask H.(age 5) if this is art imitating life or life imitating art. He levels me a gaze and coolly says,"Both ( Read more... )

I agree. That was wow... Can't think of the words to describe how I felt while reading it.

Thank you perfectstranger May 13 2001, 14:20:09 UTC

You are too kind.

It's a great entry there is no doubt about that but I read it before you edited (i think, it sounded different the second time I read it) and while I thought it was pretty cool, I felt wanky complimenting you on it.

I'm not doubting these other guy's sincerity here but I can't believe a one sentence "That's the best piece of writing I've read in a while" was that orgasmic!!! I mean, I know how you feel, I feel fantastic when total strangers post stuff like "that was the most fucked up thing I've read in ages" or "that was one of the most original things I've read all day" or something but this guy's comment wasn't even that complimentary.

Unless you know these two complimenters personally sounds to me like they are trying to score points because all the posts since that one I have enjoyed a lot more than this one.

I'm glad it happened though because it now means that you will write about more indepth stuff and that must be good for everybody!!!!

Score points? perfectstranger May 14 2001, 11:58:11 UTC

So you think this super sweet gay guy, who has never seen my pic,has never exchanged a word in here with me, who lives across the entire continent and has nothing to gain but a thank you is trying to get in my pants? Over a story about me picking strawberries with my kids? You twit.Not everyone thinks with their dick like you.Remarks based on jealousy will get you a big thump on the head in here.

hey darlin...

i dont think you use lj anymore, and its a real shame :( but i was going through my friends list, and i found your name and was reading through your journal again.

i saw the first entry of yours that i ever read, and thought i'd peruse the comments. i had no clue the above conversation ever happened, lol.

we here in lj land miss you darlin. you'll probably never read this, but good luck to you and in everything you do.
