something new

I had this idea. Ok, listen. I had this idea because I do not feel like writing in a journal and I do not feel like writing in a word document because both of those things elicit no response, they have no purpose. And I do not feel like writing to a friend or a boyfriend where then I expect a response or have the possibility of disappointment, but I do feel like writing.

So. I think I will try to put something on here every day.

Here is the bad part--it has no theme, no drive, no purpose, no organization. This is not a tool for your (reader, if there is one) enjoyment, this has now become a tool for my own selfish gain. Like so many other things in my life. So, it may be no fun to read. But hopefully it will help me get back into the groove of writing and then it WILL be fun! OR I will realize that I should not be writing at all. I just want a way to get through this mud in my head and I think this might be the medium I need for now. I am sort of hoping that not very many people read this...and since not very many people know about it, I think that might be true. However, if you DID read this, and you notice a day when I do not post, feel free to send me mean and nasty emails/facebook threats. It will help me out.

Oh, another thing that I may see into fruition on here...I want to start working on writing about my travels so I do not lose the cities or the places I went. I am already losing them. These minds of ours are faulty to say the least.

I guess this is a warning. From now on, this will be a place for me to dump random thoughts and to just gossip and tell you about what happened in my day and if ever a pretty poem or some writing prompt inspires me, this will be where I will work on it too.

Unless I change my mind.

Next, I want to post a post about a list. Look for it. Hold me accountable invisible world of internet and the possibility of people.

15/30

15/30 Your Name Means Late-Summer or Warlike Girl, you make me want to say girl in that way where the rrrrrr ’s roll out forever and the i becomes a u . Yeah. That’s right. And you make me want to roll up the bottom of my jeans, shove collected countries in the back pockets and collected men between my thighs. Stop collecting dreams. Girl, you make me want to rock climb—cover myself in that fine chalk powder dust, grunt like I want it, till my hand skin comes off in chunks. And you make me want to eat meat. Fuck chicken and fish. I mean steak. Cooked rare. Make me want to barbecue, corn kernels for floss and watermelon seeds for spitting. You make me want to shower in garden-hoses, drink BudLight around campfires, wear flannel. Want to tan like I was one-sixteenth Indian. Girl, you make me want to get high and ride public transportation with the retarded kids. Or stay up all night driving the screen saver into space. Girl. You make me want to slow. this. shit. down.

2/30 It must be five o'clock already in Chicago, the clouds are full of hail. The books on the shelf are segregated, one for fiction and one for non. I hear them shouting at one another. They shout letters of the alphabet. At the antique store on Western the son of the old man talks about the deal he got on the fabric upstairs--because some old lady died and nobody knew how much that fabric was worth In the room that is second to the entrance there are bins of old photographs. An old man squats, tending to a tree. Dad. Sun Morn. '48. I guess nobody knows, but I'm standing over these bins and I can hear the books at home yelling the alphabet at one another.

All caught up!

10/30 dreamed again. tonight I dreamed of making muffins and babies. I told you (unexpectedly) that you were the only man I'd ever want to make babies with and you told me I was beautiful every day for two-hundred-sixty-six days. we named our children Sweetbelly and Stickylove and when they were outside, we kept them in fruit trees and when they were inside we kept them in our arms. This is how they never learned the feet/ground rules. Then, when we loved too much, we would have to go check on the tomatoes. dreamed again. we didn't have a dishwasher, so that I could take my time with all those muffins. I smiled and told Sweetbelly to be careful. She had jam on her face and it was scorpion season; so then you wrote poetry about scorpions and jam--about sweet tomatoes and muffins. and when it was late at night I would wake and find you rocking Stickylove and fatherhood carefully in your arms--the way my mom used to find dad. Lost in that rocking chair; and then I would lov
