I'm curious.

How much value do you put in your name? Do you think it actually defines you in a way, or is it simply a title, a word someone says to understand that you are who they're addressing, or referring to?

I have lots of names. I like them all. So it's been bugging me these last few names. Like, for example:

Let's say...

I've been thinking about this a lot lately too, actually. I used to think it was just a title, word that singled me out in a room full of people. But now I think it might be more than that.

My birth name is Irina Zoe Z------. Zoe was going to be my first name, but my parents changed their minds at the last minute, as they were worrried that I wouldn't have enough charisma to pull off the 2 Zs. (Ha. I sure showed them.)

The other day, I told a professor of mine about it, because she said I didn't look like an Irina. She said Zoe fit much better. And I happen to agree with her. But why is that? What is it about me that makes me more a Zoe and less an Irina? Do I want to be a Zoe instead of Irina? What's that about?

I don't know. But it's certainly an interesting thing to think about.

Certain names give people certain impressions of somebody.
Jimmy is a sort of young name; gives the impression to me of something childish.
James is much older; more matured.
So the way they learn who you are can be totally differed just by this. And they might expect certain things of you.

blah.. i don't know where i'm going with this. but HI! how are you? <3

As "Singles' Awareness" day approaches, citizens of the U.S. and various other territories and occupations take part in a social Rorschach test. It's as simple as looking at the clouds, really, and giving your own interpretation. Difference being, that most everyone is looking at the same cloud formation, the same blot of ink on the same piece of paper and all coming up with passionate...

Walking does have its advantages. In Minneapolis, the advantage is mainly that when snow comes, driving becomes some strange foreign language.

And not like even a high school foreign language, no. But rather, it's the language that the drivers can identify by hearing, and recognise on paper, but no one can write it, let alone speak with affluence.

They're all driving around in their between-one-and-two-ton...

I used to have dreams about the moon exploding. Everyone went crazy, like the moon actually meant something when it started to crumble apart. That's because everyone was watching. Those normal kids don't typically realise how much of a symbol it is or how strange to be taken away. Not on a daily basis at least. And tonight I looked up at it and I...

Uh... my roommate who wants to kick me out (for very good reasons) decided to read some stories I'd written in high school and shower me with praise, including re-reading sections of various stories to point out how good some of my descriptions were.

THAT was different.

Maybe he'll be my agent and I could make some cash with this somehow. Heh. I've never really...

I love the concept of writing as a way to pay bills...like, what's your overhead? Coupla pencils and a pad of paper. Rent, gotta pay that anyway.

What flavor of fucking nutjob is your bro-in-law? I'm recently retired from that line of work, may be able to clarify commitments, treatment options, how to deal, shit like that, if you ever have any Qs.

I spent the first part of the holiday's (Christmas Eve) at antid0te's place, which was a great time all around. Hoolah hoo!

That last thing is somewhat of an inside joke. Or it's likely at least, that it will be to you. No matter...

Then the next part of that day on the bus back home.

And there was lots of stuff that happened...

Aww, It's awesome to hear that you actually went to see your family and had a good time hanging out with that little kid. Yay for you!
Haha, random side note.. Kiersten was here yesterday and she was dying my hair. I missed her slightly. Yeah..my hair is a shade of blue/purple now. All of it.. I just have yet to wash it out..because I'm a lazy fucker. Anywho... she was saying that she had to come visit and get her sunglasses back from you. I thought that was amusing in a way. Probably because they're sunglasses, and they're miles and miles away.. lol. She says she's going to make you mail them to her.
We haven't talked on the telephone in awhile dudeman. You should gimme a gangle sometime. Happy New Year, btw.
It's gonna be an interesting one for me.

Merry fucking Christmas. For serious. For now anyway.

I really wish I had internet at my place, then I could upload a brand spankin' new avatar, but I can't. Alas...

I read a bad book that, all things considered, wasn't too utterly terrible. And probably the thickest I've ever read in a day. And that, my friends, is good times indeed.

I live for interactions such as last night, as the five of us were leaving Lyle's.

This very attractive, and soft-spoken (wasted) girl was standing outside, and we noticed each other. She was just standing by the entrance/exit of the parking lot.

Her: "Hi..."

Me: "Hello."

Her: "How's it going?"

Me: "...good good. What about you?"

Her: "I can't get this fucking button."

She couldn't...

Sorry man, I was full of cheese and crackers and Surdyk's brand whiskey and diet. I thought that you might find me fat, so I tried to cut you off before you punctured my belly while buttoning me up, or made me so excited that I might expel.

Maybe we can meet again at Lee's, and I promise to have a nice fart before you show up.

Love,

Blood is so thick around here right now.

Preparation for winter I guess. And I've got nothing else to show for it. In for the worst. Next to a source of warmth, at least (I hope). I'll keep my mind open.

That's the least I can do.

Been working on that novel now, what? Three years?
