i am still surprised at being loved for superficial reasons. he doesn't care about my interests or my mind, or the life i've lived. he fell for a handfull of particular work-related phrases spoken in passing. it may be our ages, but his way of loving is so new to me, i find myself questioning it. he is devoted and kind, but has never asked about my life. i eat his life with white wine.



be foreign with me in cat opera?

there's a certain pressure when you're in your 20's to bask in manic socialization... i am always amazed to find there are kind, patient souls in the world who will take the time to know me on my own terms... which, in the beginning include only soft interludes... he doesn't mind when i am quiet, he thinks on everything i say and remembers it like treasure. he is old enough to remember the (so-called) space landing, but i would not have liked him in 1969. there's something very right about it, i expect to bore him any day now, or scare him with abstract questions. i do my best at all these things... but he remains good.

chet asked me today what i do online, i told him i look at pretty things & write about them in a journal... it's got to be the most foreign idea to him, he doesn't even own a computer. sometimes it's nice having a compartmentalized life, everything in it's own place... he's never seen my place, he doesn't know i keep freeze-dried deer legs.

i've been listening to this song so much, i thought you ought to hear it too. the end is positively euphoric...

if i bothered with resolutions, that is... i can't get enough symbolism in literature, but in waking life it just seems awkward & ridiculous.

i had a lovely new years, i hope you did too.

my life feels so simple and gentle these days, like i might as well be living in an appalachian cabin. the faces i see are kind & familiar, i'm feeding bears and picking berries.

happy 1908 (if only) [01 Jan 2008|03:57pm]

god blessed leo fontan with the most brilliant of leg fetishes... if this picture isn't the sexiest postcard you ever saw... i can't help you. i imagine he must have perfected his craft by the time he painted this... i wonder if he sat next to this minx on the train & whether or not she had to hit him with her cane... some of his other creations... )

holidays and birthdays tend to be depressing for me- i think because i'm so reminded of myself as a child. my child-self then materializes & looks on in horror at what her adulthood has come to mean, and how it lacks all the fantastical but oh-so-important details i had once aimed for. i didn't feel that way this year. i managed to avoid picturing all the things christmas used to mean. it isn't difficult now, nothing is as it used to be & so just about everything is newly enchanting.

for the record... i saw the new sweeney todd & completely adored it. someone paid an extraordinary amount of attention to the placement of actors within the frames, i don't know if there is a new art director or cinematographer to thank or if tim has become newly inspired but the thoughtful beauty of it all was just brilliant. also, i was infinitely impressed by the minor actors playing anthony, toby & joanna- especially anthony... who kept reminding me of patrick wolf. the violence was a bit weak for my taste, blood looking & acting like red paint. it made sense in the opening, but when it comes to slitting throats left & right, off-color paint is distractingly unfit... all in my opinion, of course.

i've so fallen in wholesome love with the organization i work for, and mostly over-night. so much time i spent, shilling pills & cat litter for the corporate machine... i've become a better person without having noticed. all my life i've been a salad of good & evil, and for the first time, i feel good is in the majority. i'm no basketcase of secrets or regret.

in love, man can live without happiness. [14 Dec 2007|08:02pm]

it doesn't matter if you're alone, if you're happy.
no man is an island.
i don't think so... some people are islands forever.
well thanks for visiting.

don't grow up peter pan [06 Dec 2007|10:47pm]
[ music | grace * jeff buckley ]

oh we were so different on the inside. our reactions to this severing-of-daemons could not be more opposite, but we were a virgo-pisces pair. i don't mind saying it has been heart-wrenching... and he avoids pain, stealth pilot that he is. i wish him the best (don't grow up peter pan, you were my great affair, as shayna said you would be. i wouldn't laugh if you died in a motorcycle accident).

i will have my way with this city, if it kills me. it could be that i haven't been free in years, it could be that i have yet to really know what being free means.

have you all seen this russian website? i wish i could read it, is it a sort of russian deviantart? i expect i've missed a lot of great art being away so long. there's a photographer here called belkina that makes images of a world i wish we lived in...
