bus rides.
You sat on the bus in the seat right in front of me. I noticed the freckles on your shoulders; your shirt collar was wide and the sun had found them. I sat admiring the variety of specks on your skin - some faint, tiny, barely there, and some more defined. The mottled look is so pretty. It made me think of someone else, someone who makes me ( Read more... ) -
new jobbb
I have realized in the past couple of weeks how much stress has dissipated since I left my last job. All of a sudden I'm not anxious about going to work, or getting up for work, or what I'm going to eat at work. I actually have time to do other things like go to the farmer's market, hang out with friends, visit my family, visit out of town friends ( Read more... ) -
this is the smoke i'm always breathing.
this kind of haunts me. but it's also slightly endearing. And as I type this I noticed the veins in my hands are bulging. (bulging is kind of a gross word.) Sometimes I envy the arms of men, how their veins bulge so easily through the skin of their forearms.

more dreams.
We were at a party. I was a host, and the night wound down in drunken stupors, people giggling as they fell on each other in piles to the floor. I was feeling this same warm clumsy happiness, when you took me aside to a quiet corner. I had never seen you so serious, your eyes were full of urgency and pain, and without explanation you said "You'll ( Read more... ) -

Does anyone remember this entry?
On Friday night, I did kiss that freckled shoulder. It was a long time coming. I'm hoping it won't be left at that.
Life is funny sometimes.

What qualities do you look for in a lover that you would benefit from developing more fully in yourself? 2. What do you think are your two biggest delusions about ( Read more... ) -
taking photos
"I have always been a compulsive picture-taker. Each time, I tell myself: this is the time of your life. I imagine a roll teeming with unaware smiles and faraway looks, blurry mid-sentence mouths and lipstick smudged. Snippets of white-blonde toughness. A fleshy girl glowering. But I am almost never in the picture.
When I do appear, my caught-in-the ( Read more... ) -

mortality and sense of belonging
There are times when I look around me and see youth sparkling in the face of everyone. It is in their bright eyes, their full and round cheeks, hair trailing in the wind and laughter dancing on it. It's in the glow of their skin, their rampant energy, evident even in the way they walk through the square and board the buses. Sometimes I feel my skin ( Read more... )
