I had to take my lip stud out because it swelled to massive sizes and i didn't have a choice. I also had to take out my nipple ring last night becuase it was infected, and have about three more to remove as well due to infections.. it freaking sucks. why are you removing yours?

I am going to Wyoming to be in a movie, a very small budget movie, but a full length movie nonetheless... i've never been in a movie before so i'm terribly nervous...

and my poor kitty isn't in such great shape

trying to think of something intelligent or witty to say so you could say to yourself, wow, that michellesg chick is cool, but unfortunately I am drawing a complete blank and the only thing i can think of to say is that my cat has a urinary tract infection and i think it hurts him a lot. good thing i dont have one of those.
have a nice day!

crack is bad.

I like your new profile pic though

too naughty for what?

I keep away from the frats and sororities, so I don't really notice if they're here or not. and yes, I am living in Ames. I've lived here since I was five.

I think if people need to hide their tattoos/piercings to get a job, fine... whatever. but after they prove themselves, they shouldn't worry about hiding them. my mom just recently got a job as a manager for a gas station, and the people are REALLY conservative there. she covered her tattoo on her wrist for the interview and covers it every day at work. they absolutely love her now. I think if she uncovered it, that'd really show them, yanno?

my monkey is so stalled.

Pain is something I cannot seem to write without featuring it in some way. It is beyond universal, it does as you said make "the world go round, and to the side and upside down and through, under, above"

I like that you tied it into my piercings, yes i do find piercings to be "relieving" and very cathardic. Luckily though I can say that I do not search out pain in any other fashion in my life, like the character in my story.

You said: "Your story picks up the ambivalence that love lost both pains us and offers hope for its retention." I don't know if I'm misreading this, but when I wrote the character in my story she was not necessarily supposed to make someone feel bad for her, I wanted people to almost find her a little weak and pathetic, for not wanting to let go of her pain. For nursing it, by carrying with her all the time and writing the letter to her old girlfriend even though, what she should be doing is moving on. So she wanted the retention of pain, at least that is what I was going for.

you picked out a few of my favorite lines from the story as well, I'm really glad you enjoyed it. I will definately post some more writing on here very soon.

thank you for the wonderful comments, it really made my day!

are you in the iowa group? you should be, like i think we might hang out on friday or something.. i dont know, i just listen and try to show up to things if i can make it.

gigs? are you a musician or something? i can't play an instrument because i'm uncoordinated.

Hey!

You moved already? We never had that drink!

Make sure you get a hold of me if you're back in town--I'd love to see you before you take off for good!
