ALIVE

?

alive

well that's certainly a good thing

not too positive-sounding, though

whatever

i'm alright

that sounds decidedly neutral as well

on the bright side?

uh huh

i can't focus at all-- going crazy

what sane person could live in this world and not be crazy?

good point

Ursula K. LeGuin said that

numbly

anything to look forward to?

christmas i guess

it seems so far away

time is weird

me too

i think i'm going to write

trying to write a paper

patterns of social interaction

in a place

trying to come to general or specific

conclusions through observation thereof

the identity of a place

of people

the nature of identity

why must things boil down to unity?

there doesn't have to just be one answer

the world is complex and inexplicable, contradictory, nonsensical.

It rends itself

tears

there is a fabric, so there is a pattern

and a weave, but in places

it is different, and in places

it is damaged

i enjoy it

all night

well as long as i've accomplished something

dented someone's worldview

like they dented my head

with the forceps during birth

the windshield of life

and my glasses have never fit right

and they never will

my ears are uneven

i can't believe i never showed it to you

next time

good

i was thinking today

another physical deformity

of mine, that is

on my left hand

the tendon connected to my middle finger -

when i flex my fingers without closing my fist -

it slides off the knuckle

that one i can't explain

kind of cool

on the deformity scale,

nice

the good old days

yes

you guys are great

i mean girls

all six of you or

however many there are

almost exactly

and your trip was cut short

that was funny

unbelievable

chaos works in mysterious ways

understandable

get some sleep!

i'll try
