Overhead the Albatross hangs motionless upon the air And deep beneath the rolling waves in labyrinths of coral caves The echo of a distant time comes willowing across the sand And everything is green and submarine. And no one showed us to the land And no one knows the wheres or whys But something stirs and something tries And starts to climb towards the light... I used to listen to this song every morning as I walked to school, and every afternoon when I walked home from school. I wanted to birth my children to it. I wanted to die to it. I don't think I've heard it between my first years of high school and right now. I sort of stopped listening to it all at once. Part of me is embarrassed, part of me thinks it's funny to look back at my earnest reverent obsessive teenage self, but part of me, somehow, still grooves to it, in a way. I still have the same pictures in my head. Man. I still don't know what part of me has changed, or how much, or in what way. It's too blurry to make any sense of. But I'm not the same as I was then. I don't understand how it works. _ respond? 02:14:50 AM, Friday 19 July 2002

I see fireflies nearly every night out here. It's wonderful! I never saw fireflies in real life before. I was so tempted to get a 133t toothbrush today... but I didn't think I was worthy. I got a swirly silver one instead. Today this wizened little old lady came on the bus. She was your normal average little old lady... except she had ENORMOUS perky boobs. It was really disturbing. I guess they must have been implants, 'cause they sure as hell didn't look natural. Yeucch. Then this guy in a Dunkin' Donuts shirt got on and offered to cook me dinner. He was nice. Oh! Also, I went to a pet store (when I first read the sign I thought it said "Deep Freeze Pet Store", but as I got closer it turned out to be "Sea Breeze Pet Store", so that was comforting), and pet a Madagascar Hissing Roach for a long time. Man, it was cute. It didn't hiss at me; it was mellow, and had a beautiful mahogany jointed back. I really wanted one... maybe I'll get one when I'm in my new place. _ respond?
