How Was Your Weekend
(journal excerpt)
Please believe me, I know this is stupid.
More of the old story. No place to come home to. That’s what makes you crazy, you know. The basic grounding of meaning in a few things, the meaning of which isn’t inherent in them: that’s what makes you a human being. I don’t have it. My web is tangled, has nothing to attach to. In a door frame, and the door...
“Dude we are friends but you need to stop talking to me about your poop.”
Sometimes you have to set boundaries.

I feel that I’m beginning to understand how possible, how close, how achievable it is to go through life not saying anything to anyone, enveloped and lubricated by white noise. Like a puck on an air hockey table, not touching anything.
These human bodies: Are they our real lives, or do they have nothing to do with our real lives? Where is the real work done?
Today I sat on a bench in the...
There’s only two types: The children of Israel and them that ain’t.
Relevant re: all of our lives.
I am so sorry that I am not posting more these days. My only explanation is that most of my free time is currently spent sitting in my chair with my cat saying “what am I doing. What am I doing” repeatedly.
Oh god. I know that I’m 21 and this is supposed to be my slutty phase, but I need training wheels, guys. Maybe I missed my true calling as a bonobo?

This is a story about every relationship I have...
Of course, he sees her in the coffee shop where he had sat thinking of her, one way or another (Will she? Does she? Why didn’t she?) for months. Here they had stared over the rims of their mugs at each other, their eyes like milk, full moons, or the eyes of some cow-moon goddess he was sure he had read was worshipped in India. Now she is here like Kali, destroyer of men, eater of souls,...

When I’m drunk, I tend to talk about myself as if the other person and I were mutual friends of me, waiting for me to get back from the grocery store, or talking on the couch while yelling upstairs to me “Hurry up! Your mascara looks fine, we promise.”
sid: yes, you are brilliant, do you really need me to say it?
me: no
i am SELF SUFFICIENT

Things I texted Jamie this week
She’s like the Sarah Palin of anthro club
This is my rock bottom. I don’t know how it could get worse. I start selling organs that I have two of? I find out I was a hermaphrodite that my parents decided to render female surgically at birth? I start a campaign to legalize the worship of Ru Paul in public schools?

HOLY SHIT YOU GUYS I JUST TALKED TO SASHA FRERE JONES. Sorry for never getting over this.

Comment From Danielle
Can I be real for a minute? I think the source of everyone’s strong hate-reaction is leftover and unresolved anger at some popular highschool girl. It’s the combination of passivity and success— the person who publicy refuses to engage yet clearly cares a lot....

Unless you deal with kids on a regular basis, you cannot grasp the degree to which Talia was being a motherfucker. She is seven. She likes to tell me that her mother allows her to do things which we both know her mother does not allow her to do. She is not a good kid or a bad kid. She is a child. You can tell that there is a show going on in her head and she won’t show you all of it. She...

Finally bought Q-tips today
JANUARY 31, A DAY THAT WILL LIVE IN INFAMY.
Seriously, the human body is magical and disgusting.
I can make another person inside me. Oh my god, who thought that was a good idea?

garfield poem
You guys remember when I said that all of my poems were going to be about Garfield? Here is the beginning of the end.
* * * * *
Beginning this morning, Garfield the cat is on a diet, and last week he bought himself a book by Camus. “I’m tired of being a schmuck,” he says. He has bought an Eric Satie album to which he listens intently during the long, empty afternoons. Secretly, he is...

Continued
But sometimes I think “I had the chance to go to Princeton. And I blew it by telling Paul Muldoon that he was getting paid for the equivalent of teaching people how to go for a walk.”
I literally said that to him.
17 year old me was either way smarter or way dumber than me right now.
I try not to think about this ever. I think about this at least once a day.
Continued.
To be fair, they kind of deserved it. I told them I thought teaching creative writing was useless.
And I still think it is.
I just know not to say it now.

“Understand that you can have in your writing no qualities which you do not...”
– Walt Whitman
I'm nice to my friends

i'll get around to trying internet dating someday, maybe i can meet non-law-school peopel that way
Sent at 10: 10 PM on Sunday
me: yeah maybe you can meet some more peopel
cause you hate all of the peopel you know now
sidney: thats not true
i like lots of the people i know
me: well okay
maybe you should try to meet some more peopel then
like more peopel like you
sidney: you mean meet more potentially dateable people, right?
I have a pretty big social group now

sidney: right
me: peopel who are cool
sidney: omg, me and my friend russ had a conversation friday at melissa's bday that was so funny i thought i was going to die
he laughed so hard his nose started running
me: he sounds like one of those funny peopel
sidney: but yeah, i don't want to date russ
me: how many peopel like that do you know?
sidney: quite a few, now
i have my gaming group of friends, my law school group of friends, my friends unrelated to either, and my backpacking friends

there should be some good peopel in there
sidney: there aren't any girls in there that i'm interested in, though
me: well boys are peopel too
sidney: well, yes

Wait, is it "deep-seated" or "deep-seeded"?
It’s “deep-seated”, right?
Asking the big questions.
