I sat across from a stranger to eat a waffle this morning. "What is that?" I asked, "Maple Syrup?" "No, it's maple syrup. this sounds like you've been reading Pokey the Penguin.

Brad Renfro was rude to me at a house show in Oakland. His friend spilled beer on me, and then BR told his friend that it was okay.

from division-day :

hi. getting caught up on blogs i neglected!! i love the i-phone picture, is that you leaning over? if so, you have the BEST STYLE EVER. hat, coat, boots, and everything else is absolutely perfect. also, love your writing a ton.

from simoncamden :

i have found that lots of people use "baby" in conversation with their sig. others to a really maddening level. i find it super common in some couples where they use it in super banal conversations "baby, where's the mustard." its GROSS! hi.

from mymess :

i used to feel really hungry like that a lot.. could be worms, really, don't know. (i saw a homeopath that says we often have worms, i forget which kind right now, shit!) but i have a feeling that it has more to do w blood sugar. i was reading this book about high glycemic foods that a lot of us eat and how it messes w out hormones and... basically, you will feel hungry a few hours after eating sugar/bad carbs (refined flour and sugar), because it is a completely natural response in your body.. for some reason like your hormones overcompensate for the rush of sugar and then you crash down and your BRAIN wants blood sugar so badly. i guess i have been eating better, thus not so hungry, but also when i started taking prozac it seemed to help me with my impulses. i was eating really recklessly but now i am a little more likely to take the time to eat something healthy.. if you want suggestions on good/fulfilling/energizing meals i can tell you want i like, as well, but wow this is a long note. try raw foods or macrobiotics. and if you are vegetarian be careful about amino acids, get em!

Cryptic but wonderful entries...

I really liked that one, about the buckwheat and burrs and unspeakables. Cryptic but jammed full with sights and textures.

can you get anymore victorian?

Knife in the bootstrap!

from katherinhand :

i tried to sign your guestbook but it wouldn't let me. re: your entry, september 25, 2006: i happen to always have thought that you are otherworldly beautiful. i saw you on your bike in my hood just the other day, too far to yell at you but close enough to recognize you and your jacket, and i had the distinct thought that you are the type of person who is perpetually living in a movie. because normal people aren't nearly as glamorous/lovely.

from mymess :

aw i always get what you are saying. the entry just now about being lazy and wanting to be loved the way you are! i love people even if i pick on them. even if i don't love their shortcomings. sometimes i can recognize shortcomings but call them things that make that person that person, plain old traits that some might find difficult but that i kind of love. we almost need our "flaws" because we cannot please everyone all the time. trash = treasure, that sort of deal. the most lovable people are often polarizing. but i still get what you are saying, because i FEEL that way. but these are the things i tell myself. i'm telling us now. you and me.

from boombasticat :

I would like to take a moment, also, to give big ups to the Rushmore soundtrack. Thanks.

from mymess :

hi r i was just reading your diary and i know how you feel so much at times, it's crazy. it sucks wanting to love so much and not being able to. then loving someone madly (platonically, nontheless) and having them abandon you for whatever reason. guess i have nothing really intelligent to say about it, just that i have so recently been there, i'm doing better now but it seems that any type of abandonment that seems unjustified is such a harsh challenge.. i am less secure all the time. and then more secure because i battle it out. i feel like my ideas give me more sercurity. what i've learned and survived. but experience leads to great fear. but for the most part i am ok. and i'm lucky that at the moment i'm seing a highly compassionate fellow. because i worry how these fears might come in the way of things.

from seven-point5 :

I forgot to send a gift with Kim S! Ah! I'm so envious of her vacation. Did you have fun with her??

from beijadog :

hi, this is mymess, too lazy to log in and out again so that you will not be confused but it is me. i love "pepermint" by lovers, i love that whole album, i wonder if that is the one that made you cry. i think so. i hope you are doing well. i enjoyed your entry about that audition. i went to portland for the first time ever a few weeks ago. it surprised me in good ways, but it did not make me want to move there.

from katherinhand :

beg your pardon. am writing to confirm that a hang-out really must take place the evening of the 4th. i am going to write your lady friend as well. i would send carrier pigeons bearing nice scrawly invitations, but i do not have your postal address. rachael, how will i give you future signs? xo.

from paperbridges :

over the weekend i mentioned to molly b that i was going to see you and she was so excited that she jumped up in her seat a little bit! she says she will send along a gift. is the evening of the 4th good for you?

from paperbridges :

i am told that when i visit in february, jennifer katherinhand is going to organize an evening of fun having to which you will be invited! i am also told that this evening is to include alcohol and karaoke. boy howdy!

from boombasticat :

This made me laugh loud enough for two coworkers to think I sneezed. They both blessed me: "Charlie the dog used to sit upright next to my Dad in his easy chair, and look at me like God's littlest retarded angel."

from chrisalmond :

i really like the entry you wrote on the 8th. i think you write very well, and do an excellent job capturing emotions.

from mymess :

hey guess what. last night i wanted to play oija board but i forgot to bring it up and i ended up going to sleep. i did not think it was something to do because of halloween, i just wanted to do it. i did it a bunch in the summer and i have not done it yet in the nw. so maybe i was craving it, or maybe the october spirit got to me.
