So, if I'm gonna jump off the cliff, and you're gonna get pushed off the cliff, why don't we hold hands on the way down?

So this seems an appropriate follow-up. I'm working on my LOST article for the paper and I just really love these set pictures:

Happy New Year tomorrow, I think I might be lonely.

Some chocolate milk then.

I suppose I decided I missed this, I don't know how long it'll last--but here's an update for you.

Please forgive my neglect.

It's been an odd sort of summer full of teeth and caves and lions and metal and light.

Our air conditioner broke and it's a little more than miserably warm. I should escape, but there's too much to do.

I've finally all soaped myself together again.

I really love watching people at airports, drawing lines around their faces with my fingers and making histories for them. I'm glad I stepped away from being a wallflower, because it's awfully lonely and disappointing to rely on others’ approaches. But observation sure has a way of suckering you in--with all its pretend and refuge and simplicity.

Tomorrow I'll be gone.

From here at least.

It's off to the cosmic, regal land of Northern New Jersey for me.

My pirate's there.

Rothbard's a good captain name. I'll have to tell her that.

I don't think we can finish out this summer without hiking up a mountain. And a picnic at the top. Let's go, okay? Okay.

You horrid sky!

Finally giving us snow (flakes like eyes), but your white only falls to puddles.

I'll lift my skinny fists like antennas to heaven!

And sneer.

You've lost my love.

You and Me and Everyone We Know is one of the strangest films I've ever seen. I wouldn't even know how to begin to describe it.

'Let's take my hand for a walk.'

I've finished my soundtrack.

I'd really like you all to make one, especially you who’ll soon be departing.

What better way to remember someone than by the music they associate themselves with?

Mine's longer than I'd like it to be, more than a cd. But eh, why limit myself?

And here's the poem I wrote in a half hour or so for a quiz in English.

I needed to type it for tomorrow, and I decided you could have it.

“Emily”

 

Her face lay flat and cold,

Flushed and dead-like

Twitching eyes drifting to faded hopes

And accomplishments most never hold

 

Her hair is limp and desperate,

A thicket of weeds

Tangled with loss and deception

Like brittle glass, something much too delicate

 

Gnarled are her feet, and browned by the sun

Scared and whispering

And as I lay beside her,

I see she’s gone.

I never much like anything I write.

I wonder if Ryan still reads this. Hello you, if you're there.

My head's full of stars and now it's time to sleep.
