Re: alright, fine. Posted by faith on 10/23/2007, 4:21 am, in reply to "alright, fine." 198.54.202.210 Now this is what I'm talking about. Awesome, awesome writing. Superb. --Previous Message-- : Okay. I am a fish. I see that little string : dangling there. Do you think I'm a fool? : I'll bite it. Catch me, human. I love it. Do : it. : : I've been thinking about you all lately, : thanks mostly to Erica's reemergence from a : year of silence. Colors, though mostly : lacking contrast or vibrance. Never smells : though, which is a shame since smell is : ultimately the crux of experience. : : I've lived in Seattle for more than 3 years : now. I'm thinking about moving again, to be : honest with you. I don't work in food : service anymore, because now I'm 24, and now : I'm a sysadmin for an organic produce : brokerage, and now I'm ambitious. I want to : be much more than I've ever been. Mostly, I : want to be secure. : : I'm thinking about moving to the Bay Area. : There's someone out there who painted me : this incredible fantasy in thick viscous : acrylics; an idyllic summer scene of tall : grass and a clear blue sky and buzzing : fireflies and banjos and that we live in a : crumbling old mansion with 7 children in 7 : different bedrooms. Smiling baby faces and : then the auteur's dark, lowered eyes fixed : intently, and we realize at once that this : is Heaven and we have passed beyond life and : into it's cotton snuggle. Narcotic, : archetypal dreams to be sure, but compelling : and carrying me along the air like a cartoon : cat that smells fish cooking in the kitchen : and floats along the fumes. : : You know all too well how I am. That I am an : animal of irredeemable fantasy. To wish : impossible things, but it is what carried me : through so much in the past. What about Liz, : Cione Shelly, MigKitten, Drew, the girl I : was living with? Oh, well. There lies the : caveat, the rub. We always believed that : love must be free, and so it goes, that we : must be free to disengage and move along our : respective paths as we find them, and if : they do not converge but split and point to : disparate spaces, then this is the will our : hearts bring to bear on our lives. It went : exactly like that. Though love is ceaseless : and defies the passage of time, we live : apart and we live alone. : : It's not sad. It's not depressing! This is : the way of the world! Even if the planet was : swallowed up the Sun, the universe is still : in perfect working order! : : Have you ever used www.okcupid.com? I troll : those boards now. Something amazing happened : there: I experimented and came to realize : that you can troll in real life, and women : lose their minds. They go nuts for it. Talk : shit like Vonnegut, and women will think : you're some kind of angry genius. All you : have to do then is be brave and keep up with : them. These women I've met are full of life : and vitality and energy and vibrance and the : howl of mingled ecstasy and rage and : ambition and want and desire! It's awesome. : I never realized it was so simple to make : friends. I never realized you could didn't : have to do anything more than be brave and : foolish and keep swimming. : : Anyway, I guess that's all I've got for you. : I'll come back and see how you felt later. I : miss you. : : -C : Message Thread: alright, fine. - chris 10/19/2007, 5:08 pm Re: alright, fine. - faith 10/23/2007, 4:21 am Re: young and foolish - Old Grey 10/22/2007, 5:15 pm Re: alright, fine. - Tass 10/20/2007, 2:43 am « Back to thread Post a Response
