I have no idea what's going on. The one thing I heard was that you showed up but couldn't stay because you are under 21.

Al, I just wanted to say that you got me into suicidegirls. A friend told me about the site and when I logged on I saw your beautiful face staring right into my eyes. I lurked the site for three weeks before joining and ended up reading most of your journal postings. To me, you represent everything that is good about suicidegirls. A complex and vulnerable combination of beauty (holy cow, isn't there a stronger word I could use?), counterculture, intelligence, and angst. The Chasing Amy allusion was a nice touch, as well.

I feel obligated to offer emotional support for tonight's garbage. Unfortunately, seeing as how you don't know me from Jack, any such attempt on my part will unavoidably come off sounding blandly sympathetic and encouraging. Well, , I suppose I'll leave that to the professionals. That's what they're here for.

Oh hell, I'm going to give it a try anyway. Many blessings to you - half to see you through the bad times, and half to add joy to the good. Peace.

Damn. I was hoping to see you last night.
