DiaryLand members area

diaryland makes me lonely for the old days of the internet when things felt secret and you knew all these people you didn't really know. i hope you're good. i don't answer the phone either.

from dinosaurs :

i'm sorry.

from soon :

Really sorry Maya... wish all the best for you. -- Lyle

from orangepeeler :

Oh, I was so sad after reading this! I hope your situation improves. xo phil

from dinosaurs :

hi.

from zaftig77 :

your mouth itches from the apples because of the pesticides the use on them. wash them in that veggie spray/wash stuff they have out. I think its called 'fit'. Anyway, that used to happen to me too, so I hope this helps.

from moodswing :

nope, it's the cheez-its

from orangepeeler :

congratulations re: barred owl sighting!

from dinosaurs :

i keep forgetting that i have endless love for your diary.

from harri3tspy :

Surfed in from the diaryland members page and had to check out another fan of Harriet M. Welsch. Nice diary.

from katherinhand :

i had no idea. i like your diary a great deal.

from sheepiekins :

i like the idea of you hunting for your winter coat. from this -- i sense a fur vibe. which is not a surprise. p.s. do you like fur? do you want to come over? :) heh heh.

from zaftig77 :

Kate Bush's The sensual world is a great CD too.

from soon :

Locusts are disgusting. They are like flying spiders, somehow. But it was nice running into you and your precious little sister this afternoon.

from dinosaurs :

i've emptied a keeper at a dude house in seattle, too!! maybe it was the same dude house!

from zaftig77 :

Hey H, I like to read your diary and listen to ani difranco. You are not the most boring person alive. I wish I was as in tune with nature as you are. Love, Zaftig

from softblossoms :

hey thanks for the nice note! pink forget-me-not = wow, yes very special. i've never seen that, but i sometimes visit a little patch of blue ones. they like the bog.

from dinosaurs :

i do think so, though handwriting like that always bothers me a little because it feels so contrived. of course, it would be stupid if art had normal person handwriting even if it did make it seem more sincere. sincerity over aesthetics, decisions decisions.

from novembre :

THANK YOU. that was even better than the postcard my friend cathy sent me from texas of a cat dressed up like a cowboy. the cat looked so, so pissed, and also terribly humiliated, all at the same time! oh elephants, you top them all.

from soon :

i was at Vernon elementary last week, reading to kids, and i could overhear the teacher in the next room berating any of her students that would DARE to not wear green on saint paddy's day. grade level? about 2nd. way to instill proper values in kids, lady. i think i have no choice but to become a teacher, now.

from zaftig77 :

h, I hope you find your inspiration to write again soon. I miss your words so much. Your writing is deliciously addictive. Maybe installing a counter would help??

from likeaforest :

i certainly hope you get back into the habit of writing (here) again, because your journal is one of my very favorites, and i have missed reading it. no joke.

from soon :

that's funny and strange. just this morning (or maybe yesterday i was thinking that i needed to finally write and ask you for your password (Even though you hadn't updated in three months). and then lo and behold, you unlocked your diary and updated when i arrived at the library this morning.

from vertebreak :

omg I LOVE YOU and i finally figured out how to both retrieve and send notes! woo!!! love love love, cd!!! p.s. THANK YOU. :D

from likeaforest :

psst. will you whisper the password to me?

from zaftig77 :

Your entries are rich, complicated, and loveable. I miss reading them. May I continue?

from snarkymarky :

thanks! i like reading your diary too! we stayed in willa cather one night and singrid undset the next. the prices are based upon room size and view (ocean or no). the cather room was excellent and didn't need to be larger or have an ocean view. i could happily close myself up in that room for weeks. there is a pothos vine trailing around three of the walls, and a writing desk with cubby holes, secret-feeling notes and journals.. i could go on and on. the whole place feels like one opportunity after another for curling up and reading or writing.

from novembre :

1. i did not know you have a dog. 2. i am jealous that you have a dog. 3. my cat runs away with guilt pulled between his legs like his tail when caught in the bathroom, whether it be tub or toilet. i wonder. 4. since moving things are half un-packed, and half-lost. i found part of my valentine's day zine, but have yet to recover its missing part. and i must compile before i mail, and the sad thing is that i hate that zine already. oh the impermanence of zines, i should work harder and then i'd love longer. 9. i am still jealous that you own a dog. 7. i secretly admire people who scowl in public; i call them "scowlies" and imagine that they ward off nonissues such as my sugar critique. but now i know that scowlies get pestered, though for other reasons. i still admire scowlies. 5. i want a dog and i will name him scowlie. with an ie. not a y. scowlie ray. and then i'll nickname him ray the scowl, or just "the scowl." 3,334. dear madame, i may be in portland for a week or so this fall. perhaps there could be h.o.-ing.

from angryskunk :

I find you very addicting. Don't be fooled by my username; I am not angry, and sadly, my diary doesn't even exist. You can visit me if you like at wwww.livejournal.com/users/angryskunk though. :D

from likeaforest :

well i, for one, have been a fan of historical reality tv way back since the 1900 house! i've faithfully watched every series since then, except that one that took place during the 1940's (simply because everyone's accents were so thick that i couldn't ever figure out what was being said). also, i should tell you that it makes me awfully happy that you mentioned tracy emin in your last entry, as i have recently discovered and become rather smitten with her! who wrote the article that you mentioned, if i may ask?

from utoeis4andqe :

I like the way you write. I think things like basements and empty walls and half eaten grilled cheese sandwiches are moving. i know its weird...I was reading about the polar bear and it reminded me of a book I know that I think you would like, or at least a chapter of a book. Read "The Whiteness of the Whale", a chapter in Herman Melville's "Moby Dick". He calls white a "colorless all-color" and is fascinated with it for the same reasons as you are intrigued by the polar bear.

from novembre :

i always loved thinking of depression as a black dog. (but i'd never tell my parents' black lab that.) do i have your most recent address? i have a zine to mail you. xo.

from dinosaurs :

thanks a lot

from sukirella :

darn it, I wanted to see the picture of the really gross whale, and the link won't work. i like you diary by the way.

from likeaforest :

that last entry: yes yes, i am feeling every inch of it! so nicely written, too. gosh.

from makeshift :

maya, i hope your birthday was the best ruling day ever. i thought about you the entire day. i miss you, seriously bad.

from makeshift :

dude, i would NEVER critique your luv for our furry/ winged/ horned/ gilled friends. i hope you get my little package to you, as i have forgotten to mail it for about 2 weeks now. i took it all the way to chicago and back, but still forgot to put it in a mailbox... ps. i already have something for you for your big day. i have a very involved letter for you i have not yet written, but which is so involved that i've been writng it in my head for a while now. missing you terrribly from the city of "brotherly" love... we will have to rename that, won't we? and amelia says hello.

from simoncamden :

HEY!!!!!!!!!! I want you to know that you are amazing!!! I miss.

from mew-mew :

certain lines & they ring true : "it is so sincere it makes me nervous to write it down and i cover it with my hand." your entries appear to have been scrubbed clean so that each& every word left on the page stands out & glows. i like. so much. + yrs, meeew mew

from myeels :

wow. amazing entry. i would like to see the deer swimming in the ocean, and also the babies being born. i have not seen one single thing on either of your lists, although one time i thought i heard a ghost.

from myeels :

lady! I love when you said "sorry if I ruined the grapes of wrath for anyone!" That is so funny! You are funny. Thanks so much for coming to my party, you brightened it up with your magical horn.

from simoncamden :

you should watch the tv at my house!!!!

from myeels :

dude, you are Maya! The Maya that I know! HOT DAMN! I love Jurassic Park too, and I love this entry about the farm and the brown dog. Thank you for reading me, and now I will read you! RIZZY

from makeshift :

i'll gladly give you all the answers!

from makeshift :

maya, my darling. i'm in philadelphia. sorta living here, i don't know. have you written any letters to richmond? i am going down there next week and will be checking my po box. you can still send letters there, i'll be checking it periodically, but obviously not everyday. i'll let you know when things get more permanent. amelia will not be ready to move until at least the end of october! oh yes, i miss you dearly. very dearly.

from might :

horses and women and sexualization, and i think of: virgins taming unicorns, and lady godiva, and black beauty, and women riding sidesaddle in huge in-the-way skirts because riding astride was too suggestive or might have broken an unsuspecting hymen, and all those nasty rumors about catherine the great.

from luckybelle :

hey maya!!!! yes i saw!!!!!! OUR FAVORITE!!!!! I'm muy excitamundo, lovlove!!!!!!! lovelove!!!!! i have no clue what a.n.t.m. means so, maybs u could tell me? I am a dork, yes. LOVELOVE!!!! qeteshie, your lil sister

from makeshift :

here at the beach we sneak into the country club pool and downtown we walk around and make friends with the pidgens. Ace of Base once said, "it's a beautiful life".

from likeaforest :

i just happened to see those ominous bat stamps at the post office the other day. they were rather tempting for some reason, but i was worried that perhaps whoever i needed to send letters to would be too frightened or dismayed by the scary disembodied bat head to even bother opening the envelope. o, this is a rather indirect way of saying that i think your journal's really very nice.

from allnitediner :

dear m.r. sorry about the kitty sadness. ramona sends you a very small little hug. xoxo

from sheepiekins :

it is possible to play "mastermind" on the internet. i gave up half-way through and it said, "you are a looser." but it's pretty fun.

from makeshift :

i want a swan boat to makeout in!

from makeshift :

the tigers are marching to your house. they are bringing an old boombox with a bootleg copy of newcleus' "jam on it" and a pitcher of cherry lemonade. enjoy!

from monstermovie :

i've actually never heard of pamela zonline. i am pretty out of touch with most authors who aren't my friends unless somebody actually puts a book in my hands, which is always encouraged.

from monstermovie :

yeah, the cat was definitely one of the most disturbing dead animals i've seen, and that's saying a lot...by the way, you have excellent taste in music and authors. just a hunch, but i'm gonna guess you live in portland?

from luckybelle :

O, why thanx, but the real famous person her is.........U!!!!!!!!!!!

from luckybelle :

Hey are u maya? If you are this is yur sister

from makeshift :

unicorn groomer? FUCK YEAH! okay, so i've been totally dreaming about canaries. i'm making things for my march show at the coffee shop on harrison street.. they are transfers and polaroids sewn onto fabric with rub on letters telling tales about my life lessons... "i once tried to talk to my dead grandfather through the quija board. i swear it moved, but i got so scared that i stopped." feuding with your best friend=no fun!

from might :

my best friend is fascinated and terrified by brown recluse spiders

from sheepiekins :

my lovely.

from novembre :

ahhhhh i want to read for six hours a day. jealous.

from akspdx :

I like rich words. You have rich words here. Do you have to try? Is it deliberate? Is it a you that you want people to see? Being silly is fun ... my boyfriend is silly, but it gets old. We all want to be carefree silly teenagers forever and too late. I can only do this by pretending I am writing in my own journal, which is always too serious. But that's me. How much of that is honest I wonder? We get excited when people want to see us, even if it's not entirely honest. Either way, much of what you write is silly, but in a good way which is rare.

from endwithand :

when you walk down streets, i feel i am walking with you.

from simoncamden :

Can I just say this? It was so so so seeing you today. Yeah, yeah. That was the goods. I felt so excited. It is nice to feel excited. It made me want to h.o. with you so bad. Bear button meets bird button. Thank you, may I have another.

from allnitediner :

m.r. candy! candy! i am very found of smarties and gummy things and i think i have a candy affliction due to the being made to consume carob raisin cookies for the extent of my childhood. i want to go to a candy factory, wouldn't that be a lovely field trip? i send love and so does grady the sometimes naughty and haughty kitty. xoxo o & baby r.

from makeshift :

being scared in a good way is about when you get goose bumps and then suddenly know that good things happen for a reason.

from makeshift :

i didn't know that i could leave you a secret note.. the news is freezing. and the aire is stimulating. i work twelve hours tonight into tomorrow. got your letter today and i am so glad i have something to wrap my brain around. hang tight. i almost bought that kat kat stationary at the dollar store, it was that or something very like it, but i didn't have any cash in the pocket. sometimes you scare me but always in a good way. hiccup. candy says rreow. val says mmm hmmm. (secret message for the unicorn peering over your shoulder: pinky says, "wait yr turn!")

from endwithand :

Is there anything more profound than middle school?

from simoncamden :

You are so bunches of oats!! I know what you mean for sure for sure about simon. love love love him before the leather. Then he is just like...uh. I just drank 64 oz. of Sunny D plus Calcium. It was very good. You are like a brand new Sharpie. You are the mostest.

from simoncamden :

basically....um, yeah....basically.....you are a rad ass or a bad ass or something. i would wear ill fitting clothes for you.

from simoncamden :

What a scam, huh? You know, just like, the whole thing. C'mon, y'know what i mean, the questions, and the assumptions. I hope to see you soon. I'm gonna go daydream about eating Ice Cream and watching a interior design (probably Trading Spaces) with Britney Spears and going to this place called Fox Hills Mall with The Olsen Twins. Lots o' love.

from might :

i ate too many candied walnuts and now my stomach hurts, just like they told me it would. i like to hear about cats.

from endwithand :

i feel inspired

from endwithand :

I just can't figure you out. But I'm having one hell of a time trying.

from sparrowsfall :

dear harriet, i am eating a disappointing tangerine and updating my diary at the SAME TIME as you. the tangerine is burning my tongue and tastes a lot more like the peel than it ought to. the last one was great. i don't know what happened.

from dungeon :

hey, you noticed! about being a spy i mean. anyhow, thank you - a lot.

from sheepiekins :

i sold pretty pony. it was terribly sad but i knew i had to do it. only got $40 and i probably could have gotten more if i tried to sell it myself on ebay or whateves but i didn't. needed the $40 today. that's my story. i'm at the iprc. i love you.

from endwithand :

I don't know what I'm doing, but I do know that I read what you write. At least it's a start.

from sparrowsfall :

cathy was stressing about having eaten too much SALAD, low fat POPCORN and some GRAPES I think. what a nit.

from might :

i used to lick screens.

from sheepiekins :

":)"

from redred-rogue :

Hi m.r., ah the bloody changes... i miss you with all my heart. this is caitlin. my whole body is buzzing, and i keep clentching my teeth, just wanting to go for a swim. i'm listening to "California" by J.M. over and over again and thinking of you. i got a diary just so i could look for your name, or maybe i just gave in. i don't have a phone but i'll write you a letter this weekend. love caitlin

from sheepiekins :

2 things to tell you today in particular. first is that there is a baskin and robbins ad on the side of a tri-met bus that is your favorite color of ice cream in a cone and the text is "oh yum." second is that a pack of college-age yelling obnoxious people were walking toward me downtown this evening and one of them, a boy, yells at me, "SMILE!!" fuuuuck. and actually there is one more thing, a youngish dyke couple on the bus, one of them wearing an abercrombie shirt and talking about tracy and the plastics but i think they were not into me cos i was staring a bit and they totally caught me and i think they thought i was straight. maybs. and that i love you!

from novembre :

heyyyyyy

from sheepiekins :

"rita and i are getting a, excuse me, manicure."

from might :

thank you. i don't feel nice, but i'll take the compliment. it's time for bed. good night.

from might :

i like this place.

from sparrowsfall :

you will never guess. i will be in your rabbit gang without even asking, just by bumping into you on the street and you will see my dashing wing-ed rabbit tattoo and be taken with it. and i'll try to memorize the sign language for rabbit. fan-tastic. we can talk about it more at our breakfast picnic. love nicole g.

from sheepiekins :

i am very much enjoying the puzzle-to-unwind-at-the-end-of-the-day joke. laffing to myself on a friday nite. and i love you lots, etc. from old white.

from allnitediner :

dear m-- i do so many of those things too. xoxo o.

from sparrowsfall :

oh my, i have found your diary. it is so nice. i read your zine at my best friend's house while he was stoned and not talking to me. i put it in a paper bag with my groceries, and now i can't find it. darn. it. from your secret admirer. xoxo.

from allnitediner :

dear miss i am guessing maybe this is m.r.? i hope so cause the writing seems to be your lovely way. i am happy you are here, if this is you. and when i was little i read harriet the spy maniacally and scribbled notes in a small notebook and wanted to be her very much. xoxo o. if this is not who i think, oops
