2004-03-23 || 8:29 p.m. || newsletter || all kinds of things i want to write about but nothing seems to stick. went down for lightning fast oc/sd holiday to see kell before she shoves off for the desert (kind of perfect. no time to get anxious-y, saw parents twice without tearful incident, ate so much food oh, boyfriend came runnin out of a hillcrest record store to knock me over with moustachioed lovin, passed out on chris's couch in saturday evening finery, held hands with me mum while perusing antiques in the orange circle. i am a severe fan of the orange circle.). cried on the way back up while passing the LA national cemetery on the 405, mistakenly thinking it's where grandpop is buried. he is not. a)LA national is a military cemetery methinks, and g-pop didn't fight for america, dummy. i think he fought with the brits. b) in any case, i don't think anyone's been to his grave since i was 8 and that just about broke my heart. i slowed down twice in an effort to pull off the freeway to find him, but again, a)wrong cemetery and b) how would one, if one knew, be able to relate specific directions to one grave marker among thousands? in any any case i resolved to find out where he is (forest lawn in LA says kell) and make it a new tradition to stop by and cry all over him whenever driving back up from oc/sd. i am still waiting to hear back from grad schools. in a moment of creepiness over the weekend mum took me into her hobby room to display its disarray and informed me this could be mine if i get into irvine. a) irvine accepts 6 people a year, none of whom spend way too much time on their lazy arses waiting for the finale episode of america's next top model to come on rather than write in a constructive brilliant manner on a regular basis. b) i fear i will wither and die if i live anywhere near irvine, city of neon lights and mini malls and disturbingly attractive soccer moms. i have been talking to blandy sporadically of late which at the same time breaks my heart and makes me so glad to know what's going on with him. meow meow has been incredibly affectionate lately. she says hello and is simultaneously waving her middle finger. guestbook || notes || archives || profile || photos || d-land |
