Day 17 – Steven F.
My crush lasted years. It was hard when you said “friend.” When I left for Orlando, we had that conversation about the past and the future. I still wonder, are you gay?
Day 16 – Soozin
You let me get away with so much, and forgave me for everything. I still owe you a phonecall. True caretaker of the world, I’ve always looked up to you, Bookend.
Day 15 – Momma
Taught me how to love fiercely, and to fear alcohol. Best friend, confidant, understanding keeper of secrets. There are things about me you will never accept, and that’s okay. I understand.
Day 14 – Beagle lady
Furry chin hairs that shone in the sun, keeper of the unwanted beagles, you gifted me with joy. I hope your work was able to keep the grief at bay.
Day 13 – Momma Luv
You locked the doors when you told me I needed help. We broke up because of a beautiful boy. I did everything I could to destroy our friendship. Sadly, it worked.
Almost a year ago….
I graduated from Rollins College. And a year later, life is so different. But I want to send congrats to Kat — I wish I could be there to see you walk… have fun today.
Day 12 – Spider
Beautiful, dangerous, primal, strong enough to dominate me. Do you know why I didn’t choose you? When you gave me my Valentine’s Day card, I saw someone else’s name scratched out.
Day 11 – Pat
Birthmother, wise eyes, sweet smelling office, you guided me down the path, and let me find my own way. You told me I’m not alone. I think I finally believe you.
Day 10 – Sappy – Darryl Cooper
You bought me a copper flower that smelled like roses. I realized, many years later that it wasn’t you that broke my heart, it was me. I hope you married her. **Note** I’m going to get a little ahead here so that I can spend my weekend on my own writing**
Day 9 – King Dick
One night’s conversation turned into a 10 year long-distance tumultuous friendship. You manage to piss me off, even from California. But you’ve grown up, and turned into a good person. Surprised?
“Meatless like Me” by Taylor Clark
This has to be one of the funniest essays I’ve ever read. Of course it piqued my interest because I’m a vegetarian, but honestly, it speaks the truth. Living in Portland, I’m spoiled by the many choices out there. And I know full well that when I go back East for school I’ll be living [...]
And now, with gas
Does coffee give you gas? Or is it just that time when I have to poo in the morning? Who knows. I don’t put milk in my coffee anymore, so I know it’s not the lactose thing. Chill out, there, Sparky. I still like my coffee all creamy, but I use soy creamer now. There’s [...]
Day 8 – Lezlie Laws
Brilliant, loud, enthusiastic, warm, a gifted professor. You inspired me to become a fearless writer. Besides David, were the only one who liked my shaved head. And you gave me gold.
Day 7 – Gramps
You make “snakeshit” funny. Every time I eat a mint patty, I can taste our summers together. You have a way with Nature that boggles the mind. Even birds listen to you.
Day 6 – Grannie
Trapped in a curtain of pain, you died years ago in my eyes. The fierce woman with a soft spot for kisses is gone. Your body holds on, forgetting to die. Note: I thought about explaining this, but I won’t. It’s my own pain that I deal with when it comes to her. And I [...]
I forgot my glasses
I didn’t ride to work. I had nightmares all last night, and D said I woke him up screaming “I hate you!” in the middle of the night. My weeks is not starting off as smoothly as I’d hoped. The glasses thing really bugs the shit out of me. I can’t see. I’m going to [...]
Quickly…
was not impressed with Ironman, but D liked it. B was entertained as well. Oh well, at least I got to see the trailers for Indy and Batman. The weather is amazing right now. Sunny, clear and just cool enough to keep you from overheating. Making progress on the school stuff. Saw Amandapants @ Cup [...]
What day is this? – Lex
No one understands us, for we are so different. But you possess forgiveness in quantities not known on this earth. You’re amazing. Although, I agree, I think you are adopted. Hehehehe
Day 4 – Big D – My little brother
I know less of you than I should. You make me laugh until I pee my pants and smile until my face hurts. And you make all curse words fun.
Little intrusion
This is the blog entries where I sit and wallow in introspection and discuss those things that mean the most to me: The Moosey restraunt with the soup, family ties, writing, and my period. First, because it’s the most soap-opera-ish of the bunch, the family ties. I’ll keep it brief. My stepmother lives about a [...]
