The quick lazy fox, etc.

On Monday we flew to Florida. Our airline had enormous paintings of a leering Elton John on the side of all its jets: The slogan alternated (depending on the plane) between “Bennie and Our Jets” and “The Answer In the Sky”. So glad we chose the Elton John-themed airline

Hannah, the more I learn I learn about you, the more I adore you

Matt, my doormatt, with the matt(e) finish and the matted hair, let's lie on a mattell mattress, because nothing else really matt-ers anyway.

Goulet. It was the Goulet/poptarts entry that made me chortle. I don't hate cities, but different cities have different personalities, and Orlando is kind of like a cheap salesman in a chartreuse suit. There's so little that feels natural about it, and not in the "trees and rivers" kind of natural. Like Gardiner--Gardiner has some organic qualities, like it grew up that way like a child grows up. Orlando just doesn't have anything solid I can latch onto like that. That's not quite what I mean to say, but I'm not going to put my finger on it tonight. This frustrates me. Even if I can't make them sound graceful, I can usually at least make words say what I mean to some extent.
And everything else...will be contained in my oh-so-imminent e-mail. Adorations, as usual.

Oh, and yes, I remember the Elton John Courier Service, or whatever it was. Every time I saw one of their vans, I was like, "What the hell? Is Elton John doing a concert at the Civic Center or something?" Craziness.

god i love you. that's all there is to be said. i have felt an immense urge to finish a letter to you lately. i have the paper. i have the pen. i have the thoughts, and the time. but i'm so. distracted

Read my comment to Matt on my apologies for miscommunicating about cities. I am a country girl, it is true. Bo'n and raised in the woods, sledding down manure piles and wrasslin' pigs. But I think I want to live in a city for at least part of my life. Like now. Yeah, now would be good. We're going to have a birthday party for you, Caroline. And by party I mean, me and you sitting around in pointy hats. Well, I'm going to call you in 30 minutes, so this is kind of pointless...but hopefully it will be a lovely surprise for a lovely you later on.

Happy pass over Hannah Frankel.

Ellen, I just read your livejournal and it made me so sad. I don't want to go to school if something like that is happening. Oh, god, I'm going to cry about this if I don't stop thinking and I don't feel like crying, but this is something you shouldn't not think about. I want to go there and plead and yell and find out from them why they need to do this, because I just cannot fathom. I'm thinking of getting a taxi, since it's at 11 am, right? I shouldn't. I won't do any good if I were there, but...I don't know. You probably won't re-check this, but...god. Dear god.

[skyisgrey_]

I did go back and check this.
And I know what you mean...I think we're hurting the same way.
I want to! I want to taxi over there, and I want to let out some yells of my own.
Sometimes I have little dreams that if I just find a way to show them 'me' then maybe they will see they're wrong.
that all people can be good and all good people have the ability to understand if we just show them.
I just want to show them Im a good person. That we are all just good people and we just want them to let us be us.
That our sexuality has nothing to do with theirs.
I don't even care if it wouldn't 'do any good' for me to be there...I just want to.
I just...I don't know.
You're right..."god".
I just am so upset that that many people are alive in our towns, that may people hate.
That there are that many people who are ready to stand up in a crowd and agree on their belifs.
I really want to stand up in my own crowd, even just a crowd of me, and yell, even wisper, my belifs.

it hurts my heart.
