so here's the story: i live in the real world, the actual world full of truths and hard edges. so there isn't much in the way of drama here, just lots of laundry and worrying if my paycheck cleared yet. i go to work nearly every day, i pay my bills on time, i go to sleep before 11. i'm completely satiated most of the time, and when i'm not, i work ( Read more... )

huh?

i'm confused that you would respond that way.

how is la chanteuse? ok, so i hate my job, this week especially, since one girl quit and i've been having headaches and ulcers because of it, even though i tell myself that it doesn't make sense for me to be stressing out about this...but i have two art reviews to write this weekend and i'm officially the copyeditor for ...mbg, so i "think" i have something to equalize the crappiness.

ulcers?? oh ma douce amie. equalizing the crappiness is a good way to think about it. get as much good stuff in as you can so when you have to go back to the bad stuff, it doesn't give you ulcers.

huh. ropeswingin March 4 2007, 02:05:07 UTC

the conversation between you and kate mirrors your post beautifully.

when i 1st read your original entry (before any comments were added) i thought how sublimely you had expressed a mood, a resignation to contentment as opposed to happiness, all be it, in passing.

as the conversation developed, i tended toward sarcasm, thinking, " awww, ain't it sweet they 'talk' with one another...online..."

now i read the *she said/then she said* differently: thoughtful, honest, unencumbered communication. if you've ever tried to write dialogue i'm pretty sure you may understand why i want to steal the entire bit to include in a story i'm working on. with your permission, of course.
(i nixed kate's, "but i'll try." and retained the "really" because it's what my character would say and because i like the way the word bounces off of "reality." the rest is the stuff that makes it possible to read between the lines of a story.)

p.s. the t-shirt is finally in the mail. i hope you'll like it.
