^{it will come up with six more things!}

I was tagged by *emothemurdok to share six weird things about myself.

1. I have lots of theories about life and I have shared a good number of them with `fleet21. He is kind enough to claim that they make sense.

2. I am having more fun hanging out with =smoking-mirrors than I have had in about 8 years. I'm not sure why, exactly, but I am always quite loud when we hang out. She laughs at everything and I feel like a comedian.

3. Will Goldsmith, the drummer for Sunny Day Real Estate/The Fire Theft, once asked me after a show if I knew where he could score some pot. That is the only time I have ever wished I was friends with a drug dealer.

4. I really, really miss my big brother. Today, I cried thinking about that. It has only been a few months since I last saw him.

5. I wish I could be your mom. All of you.

6. I feel really lucky to call `alienhead a good friend. One of these days (and I think soon) that is going to be worth some pretty serious bragging rights.


Who has not been tagged yet? I pick *dana-redde, =GunShyMartyr (if he even reads my journals), =fraterm, *divinedecay, and ~TheWritt (please).


Adorable Neva Moment: (ten minutes ago)

"Mommy, Herncks!"
"...What?"
"Herncks! HERNCKS!!"
"What are you saying? Herncks?" Nod. "Honey that is not a word. I don't know what you're saying."
"Herncks, Mommy! We can name the cat's tail! We can call it Herncks!"


Hello, this is my cat. His name is Snoochie-Booches. This is my cat's tail. His name is Herncks.


There is no one I love so much as my daughter.

On December 3rd:



So on December 7th, I couldn't buy 's book.



She told me she would send me a signed one anyhow, even though that would foul things up. I gave her my home address. I asked that she allow me to send payment. She never replied.



I am so glad I wasn't around to be swindled, but so many of my friends were.



I am hurt on their behalf and confused by her refusal to publicly address the community that has supported her through everything she has told us about.



But... she does not control this community. I direct you to: 's journal.

In my left hand I am holding a big envelope. My name is in the upper left hand corner and the center has the name of a publication. It contains a smaller envelope with the addresses swapped. Both are stamped. It also contains a cover letter and four poems which are now stored.

This is my first real time.

Edit April 11, 2007 - rejected but this time with a personal note. I'm feeling pretty good about it and will resubmit to this magazine as soon as they open again in the fall.
