When I grow up I'm going to live next to a quiet and introverted man of about my age. We will work hard all week at our seperate jobs, and on Saturday nights I will go to his house and we will play cards and eat sanwhiches or pizza. We won't talk much . . . a little maybe, but never about our lives. I will go home at 11:00pm sharp and then we will meet outside to go to church in the morning. We will discuss the sermon (not to great length) on the way home, then prepare for another work week. This would be the extent of our relationship, but if there were ever a catastrophe, he would be the first I would call. Still, as soon as can be, when the winds of misfortune blow over, life will again fall into the groove of settled predictability and all will be well. I like my neighbor (:

I have lost all pretence of creativitity--I'm not even sure I used the term pretence correctly. I feel like that Indian woman in the picture below with this new job. I'm always dirty and sweaty with crazy hair and 20 tan lines! I have freckles and zits and muscles sticking out where I didn't think muscles existed. OH YA BABY! Flying through the trees on ropes and hiking till you're wheezing like a dying crow. WOOHOO! I smell like a man, and act like an animal and don't you know I LOVE IT!! man I'm glad no one has this site addy. (: Seriously--this job has awoken different intsincts in me--a part of my personality that has been dormant! Actually, it came out durring the all-nighters and extreme newspaper nights. But this is different. This is kayaking against raging currents in the hot sun and jumping off jagged rocks into black watters--this is Karaoke with junior highers!!! Dude!! I need a new name--armapittysmell--na--lets see--something Native-American. Awakaho--well--I'll brainstorm later. Dang--right now I feel like I could take that trip I always fantasize about. The one where I get all my money, sell my stuff, and drive to New York. I'd work for people along the way--the whole trip would be about discovering humanity. After living in New York, I'd fly to Itally, then walk to Spain--then germany--then the middle east--all the way to korea and then swim to Hawaii or something--haven't got it all worked out. Ussually I only get to the New York to Spain part in my mind. London too--gotta stop in London and work at a tiny bookstore while writing my memoirs. Ok--whatever. back to reality (: Hey--I miss vieve--I gotta write that precious princess of God! Ok--love everyone else--I hope no one reads this (: don't feel bad if you do.
