I, too
kill
with spear

no grace, just blood
aim for el cancro sous
Hercule's heel

I'm supposed to know that word in French-- ma manco.

"Good luck with work"
the always-end-it-of--


with spear
kill,
I do.

eureka! In a city by the sea

(Currently listening to: Regina Spektor - "Baobabs")


, I have discovered my future.

Yeah?

Yeah! See, here's what's to become of me:

After successfully (maybe even stellarly) surviving Reed College,


I will move to Seattle, Washington


for graduate school, where I will study every day in its absolutely wonderfabulous to infinity and beyond


public library. It is one of the most beautiful buildings I have ever encountered, made entirely (well, y'know) of concrete, steel, and glass. The outside walls are nothing but windows. You wouldn't believe the view from the reading room on the 10th floor, the highest floor accessible to public (the 11th is the highest and is reserved for administration). Furthermore, I shall drink healthy amounts of incredibly delicious


(and I mean incredibly delicious) coffee.

Once I have obtained the proper degree, I shall proceed to backpack throughout the world and stay at all sorts of sketchy and not sketchy


hostels, where I will meet all sorts of folk.

That accomplished, I will finally become a devout


fisherwoman on a


boat.




YES!

maybe you should cut your own hair, 'cause that would be funny, it's cheap, and it always grows back.

Currently listening to: Regina Spektor - "Us"


I looked at a few photos on the evening. I mean, on this evening. On particular evenings and days; we look older. Even kids I didn't know in the kiddiest of their days-- they look older. Golly, I look older. But I still wear tights and skirts and have brown hair.



Connectivity-- or is it connection? A n d a r e t h e y synonymous? Don't get me started on the -nymes.

At any rate, at the present time:

connectivity: n; the state or extent of being connected or interconnected

and

connection: n; a relationship in which a person, thing, or idea is linked or associated with something else

So, I think I vote connectivity. Anyway, the point is, connectivity!


In the perfect world, we all get along. And I don't just mean that we all get along! I mean that WE all get ALONG. It's not a mere fact of toleration or forced interest, but a genuine thirst for loving one another. Like a nonviolent bloodbath of undangerous bloodmixings.

But the signs are there; the signs are clear.

Maybe sometimes you've got to let go of the ideals you ever-so-strongly clutch like that piece of cheese in your literal beak to make room for some you've not yet visited-- or maybe some you've
