the night dragged on forever... forever... forever... forever...

teragram. teragram. teragram.

opening line and backwards name from a story i read when i was in fifth grade. the things we carry with us,..


ARRR!!!


"you know... im a big fan."

i paused, hovering over him, my bare breasts inches from his face.

"oh?"

"yeah. i saw you in S.A. the other day... but i was afraid to say anything."

"really? well... jeez, why? never be afraid to talk to me. in real life, im pretty friendly. i promise."

"yeah?"

"yeah."

and so i gently pushed my breasts into his face.


ARRR!!!


sitting alone in a diner. god this is depressing. same meal ive entertained every night the past week, splayed across the table in front of me: blueberry pancakes with whipped cream, bacon (crispy, of course), small glass of orange juice, large glass of water. my car keys, purse, a kids menu and some illicit crayons lay off to the side.

sitting alone in a diner. three booths in sight, all of them empty. all the tables empty, too. muffled chatter and laughter behind me, off to my left. i entertain fantasies of someone coming to talk to me, someone acknowledging me, saying hello, nodding grunting anything. just me and my waitress.

sitting alone in a diner. shitty family kid elderly friendly music sputtering from speakers overhead... my eardrums are disintigrating in my head. shut it off, shut if off, shut it off! theyre pounding... my head is pounding. i need an aspirin.


ARRR!!!


packing up, time to go. keys, crayons, kids menu, phone, all swept into my purse. my purse is getting heavier and heavier. i also took a spoon that was not mine. im almost sorry.


ARRR!!!


sit in my vehicle, idling. the seat warms my back, my butt, my thighs. i almost melt... i want to cry. stare at my hands for a little while... shakey little hands, tiny fingers intertwined. ive shriveled to a size two. something im not sorry about... i always envied those women, those impossible women... shopping with my friends (friends... ha! what a notion! me with friends), curling our lips in derision. size zero? size one? who are these figments who wear these impossible nether sizes? no one is that small.

godammit, im close. so close to that small...


ARRR!!!


"youre losing weight."

almost every day i hear this, from someone different, someone new.

"oh? i dont think so."

"youve lost weight. youre getting really skinny. have you lost weight?"

"i dont know. i dont own a scale. evil machines."


ARRR!!!


is my soul shrinking with me?


ARRR!!!


how tragic is the empty bed, the lonely bed... cold, cold bed. my dreams are worse and my sleep a mess without you here to keep me safe.

please keep me safe.

Every time I read your journal I want to give you a hug. Today I also want to give you a cookie. And i sandwich.

I wish I could eat pancakes with whipped cream and bacon and be a size two. Or maybe a size 6 even. Damn.

What was I saying. I don't know. Hugs. Yes. I want to hug you. Because you and I would be friends in real life.

well PI is a movie about a mathematician who believes that everything can be understood in terms of numbers, he studies PI the greek letter which also stands for the number 3.14 in math PI is used as part of a formula for calculating the diameter or circumference of a circle.

Now this ties into the movie in the way that because the main character can see everything in terms of numbers he also sees patterns in everything around him like leaves, the spirals that cigarette smoke makes, cream in coffee makes and number sequences in the stock market, i think thats how he makes his living he predicts the stock market and cashes in on other peoples investments.

ne way thats that the movie goes on into bcs he can do what he does there are many people out to try and use him to get what they need, a sect of jewish mystics for instance want him to convert numbers into the name of god to bring about armageddon or something

yeah well the movie isn't like your average run of the mill blockbusters but it's not as though the director tried too hard to make it different, it's pretty well thought out, just has this insanely paranoid feel throughout the whole thing

check it out its worth the time

You should come to new york. We can go shopping and I can live vicariously through you as you buy size 2 clothes.

And we'll eat 3 meals a day. But healthy ones, so you can actually wear the clothes we buy.

Why are you shrinking so much, my love?

Not that it matters. I like Benni in all shapes and sizes.

I'm listening (unavoidably, against my will, over the sound of my stereo) to my neighbors - in the building across from me, no less, not even adjoining mine - make with their trademark panting, screaming, Earth-shaking love yet again. These are the same folks who I see - daily - as they mope into and out of their (expensive, nicely furnished) apartment and their (expensive, sporty) cars, looking quite miserable whether coming or going. I have had time to ponder their behavior and am still working on my hypothesis, but I'm trying this on for size; I think they are incredibly unhappy people, clinging to each other for dear life, desperately (and demonstrably, for all we neighbors as surrogates for the greater world, to bear witness to) attempting to fuck the pain away nightly, while whatever problems they have in the other 95% of their lives continue to grow and fester and become further entrenched and remain unresolved.

And I’m not a therapist and don’t play one on TV, but this is interesting, yes?

So I'm not sure if alone - painful as it often is and can be (I’m there myself and have been for years, by choice mostly) - is necessarily worse.

I'll send you a(nother) psychic hug - hope it finds you. kiss
