within
jennifer I got off work early and I went to the theatre to drop in on Jerry and Kathy and the Fantasticks auditions. It was fun, and while the various persons were reading lines onstage, I sat alone in the light booth (glorified balcony) and balanced my checkbook. When Gary arrived (quarter to eight), he startled me, and I looked up quickly. He wrapped both his arms around me and gave me this huge hug... odd, since I have never known him to display such affection. It was because I was crying. And I now know why.

I feel so... so... leery of saying things as they are, not as I want them to sound.

andrea.

I want this to work. I am stepping out here into the glaring light of truth. I don't want to hide behind the blue curtain anymore. I don't want to hide behind 50-cent words and cute phrases that skirt the major issues at hand here. I really want this to work. I have been thinking about you since that last night at Village Inn, and I don't want to think about anyone else. Please, God, please don't let me sound like the lonely, pathetic child that I often get seen as. I'm not that child anymore. I am a unique individual that has not been able to think about herself for the past two months. And I love that I have become something that caring.

All I want to be is a flashlight... if nothing else, than maybe I can guide you to a better place.

Syrope within me there are places that no one will ever touch again. there are thoughts that i refuse to express to anyone, not even myself. there are dark corners, locked doors, dank and gusty drafts, twisted pieces of cold metal. i can't find anything inside me that would make him want me, make him care. i have so little to offer... 020611

phil I have learned very little in my life, but I do know one thing, if you just keep it up for long enough eventually little sparks will start to light up behind your eyes. 020611

somerandomguy a monk goes to a new york hotdog vender and buys a hotdog. the vender says "ok that'll be 3 bucks". the monk hangs the vender a 5. the vender says thanks and goes back to his work. the monk says "where's my change?" the vender looks at him and says "change comes from within".

i saw that joke on ebaumsworld (yeah, we all love that site). at first i laughed, then grew silent, and then numb, as i realized the message. the words "change comes from within" still echo in my head from the first time i read the "joke". its a lesson to live by.

change comes from within...

MTK how to win the war within...when the forces are so strong--on both sides? I think I might just tear myself apart, I might miss the best part of this whole thing fighting against myself. It doesn't make any sense--how I want to achieve and corrupt at the same time. Is it some kind of sick joke? Fuck you for scripting me to think I'm bad. Now I have to spend all this energy sorting out what could have been accepted as natural, what could have NOT even been an issue, but now I have to figure out how to live with myself when there's nothing even wrong! You bastards! Damn your religious bullshit! 060428
