Today in Eight Phases

[trans_lance]

Phase One:

I got home early, today, to find you, blotchy-cheeked and hot-faced, 
cradling your head in your hands.
Though I've dwarfed you since my twelfth year, 
your piercing, blue eyes--whether mischevious, or livid, or all luminescent with baby-faced wonder,
have a way of reminding me that I am still your little boy.
Tonight, though, bloodshot and

Are you okay? Please call me if you need anything. *hug*

thanks, mel.
i'm actually okay... just kind of moody because of the way a potentially-great night with my mom had to turn out.
but... i guess it could have been worse. someone could have gotten hurt, or my car could have been stolen. so i'm counting my lucky stars. seriously, though... thank you. you're an awesome friend... we should hang out, more. and you should call me, if you ever need anything, too. i miss you.

wow, lance, this is really lovely -- in that almost-unlovely detroit kind of way. i think we are on the same wavelength lately. that said, it was really lovely to see you at school. i can't wait for creating change!

Thank you, Molly--
a compliment from you about writing is one of the greatest compliments I could get. I was SO excited to run into you at school. And I can't wait for Creating Change, either. Really, though, what I can't wait is baking cakes with you for an entire weekend, while we run around the city with a bunch of really smart queers from all over the country.

anything get stolen?

[trans_lance]

my camera. well... paul's camera. that used to be his dad's. it's probably the single worst thing they could have stolen. and they won't get a cent over $25 dollars for it.

Funny how poetic reality sometimes is. This is beautiful.

thank you, steve.
i miss you. it was amazing to talk to you at school on thursday, for a minute. i wish we had been friends for longer when you went to Groves. but maybe you, along with molly, thought i was a repressed lesbian. in that case, it makes some sense. it's still too bad... but i can understand it.

Oh Lance, there's no reason me thinking you were a repressed lesbian would have prevented us from being friends for longer - I just didn't know you before pit last year, basically. Or did we meet before that? I don't think so.

We should have talked more on Thursday! I was being pinballed around from person to person.

[trans_lance]

Yeah, I wish we could have! But you're prettymuch a celebrity, at groves, so it makes sense. I couldn't keep you all to myself, when everyone else was so excited to speak with you. But we'll talk again, sometime soon, I bet/hope.

Wow....Amazing!that was really good..It's really cool you get to hang out w/your mom...Dare i say i'm jealous..

[trans_lance]

Yeah... We used to have the whole obnoxious-teeanger/frustrated-mother relationship going on... but things on our relationship's front have been looking up, for the past few years. It's a definate improvement.
