when the writing would break us open

"So what I think is this:

We write when we are supposed to, when to do otherwise would mean destruction, when we know we need to; and when the writing would break us open, when we are not ready for the current world to drown, we stop. We wait. We gather our strength.

Then, when we are ready, we pour our story out into the world to swim with all the rest."

mialogue.

girl #1: i'm TIRED of being stereo-typed/ing and marginalized/ing and always moving against.

girl #2: b*tch, please. do something about it.

girl #1: but if i let go of how i have been defined, which is by others in almost every instance that i can recall, i'll fly apart and be left with nothing else except my clothes, my body, and my brain.

DFW: so tie a bandana around your head and get on with it. but remember what you have thought in the past: puffpass don't be a jackass, poop comes from the butt, and friends are the family you choose.

girl #2: you crazy. but believe dat.

girl#1: clothes though? shouldn't i feel bad about that?

girl #2: we gotta have outlets, don't we? booze, TV, pleather, all manner of outrageous consumptions.

DFW: smoke got me through college and, though i kicked that habit to the curb, i started to appreciate and use colloquial sayings.

girl #2: that's thin, dave, but you get it, right?

girl #1: i definitely get it. i'm working on it, is all.

Dear Onion,

Dear Onion,

I know you're a joke newspaper, but this is actually a great idea:

"The New Kindle

...

>New feature allows one to make a so-called mix book of favorite chapters for girlfriend

..."

Thanks,
Alex

Disney Femmes

I may in fact be a Toys 'R Us kid. Gotta watch that.



Alice (Alice and Wonderland) Though your dreamworld may have been created because of too much sun or eating something unusual before bedtime, you just want to escape the pressures of growing up and school work. I will now label you: imaginative, curious, sensitive, naive, and easily offended.
