i hope you get my mail soon.

have you been taking anthropology?

[polyatomics]

no ma'am, i've been taking sociology.

[polyatomics]

I GOT IT TODAY!

[youmyvoicebox]

i've been thinking of you every day. i wish we were friends outside in the real world, too.

[youmyvoicebox]

part I shook apart my chest, IV feels like i've known all along (like language is a god, how can i not know my creator?).

i'd like to read your paper on how to cope. i'm not really asking unless you want to offer. i like to imagine the way you make pillows with buttons or red thread from your store. i'd like to see you there, someday, and have you help me pick out the best fabric for the best curtain or the the best stuffed owl.

Part I is silly nonsense, but I was reading my sociology book and I saw the Sapir-Whorf Hypothesis and my breathing just grew really shallow and I thought instantly about you and everyone else. It starts off talking about the Hopi tribe, I mean, really.

[polyatomics]

golly, kelli, that'd be the best. you'd probably slap me out of this mood i've been in. at least, i'd hope you would.

[polyatomics]

Yes, yes, I do. I thought about it the other day but cannot bring myself to start working on it again.

How do blind men carry their hands?

I think you are the reason why I listened to the Hansons almost nonstop for a week about a month ago - it reminds me of last summer when we would sit in your room for hours, listening to music and trying to make postcards and trying to put together that scrapbook/photo album for your mum (did you ever finish it?).

Other than what we talked about last night, I am not sure why I keep coming back to LiveJournal because it's not as if I need it to read entries in theysaid, and it's not as if this is the only way you and I keep in touch, you know? I think we are growing out of it, putting our energy elsewhere, and maybe it's for the best.

the Hansons! Oh God, they are the one thing that can make me smile. I was in bed last night at two in the morning and having an awful night and I just kept singing the Man from Milwaukee over and over again. TALKED TO LONG ON HIS YELLOW WALKIE-TALKIE.

I'm not sure either. Maybe when our little place is up and running I can finally run away from here. Because we will still have our little blog, right? And golly, Mon, Jason emailed me back!

[kingsandsaints]

Oh that's exciting! He is always good about replying to emails, I've noticed.

I was thinking about that also, being able to get away from LiveJournal once our castle is all ready to move into. I was working on the shop page a few minutes ago, I think it is my favourite page so far.

I can't wait, I can't wait. I just looked at it and it's perfect! I can't wait to tell my friends about it and to mail out little packages, you know? In his email, J. said he couldn't wait and would definitely buy something from us, it made me smile so big! I am thinking about buying a little badge maker and making bird buttons. Button, badge, same thing, no?

When I turned 18, I thought of you, this one conversation where we talked about being sixteen soon to be seventeen and I thought, I wonder what kind of person Jess would be when she turns 18, I wonder if we'd be stuck in the same place, or if she'd be a bird by then.

I think that shriveling and sinking is necessary sometimes, and that staying away from ourselves is the only way to be able to go back to ourselves again.

[polyatomics]

I always always forget that you are older than me but not by much. I wonder what kind of a person I'll be when I'm 18, too. I think you've just grown bigger and better.
