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!

are you going to the get together at the vine tonight?

Good to run into you Wednesday, hope you were having a good time!

heh, boys are silly indeed, every so often it's good to hear a boy describe why they are silly to me.

spend the last days of my life? I'm not sure I'd care where I was as long as I was with people who loved me. If i had the most important people around, I could die happy anywhere.

well my garden grows wicked fast and ridiculously blue, like the color blue. my garden grows blue. yea.

So where are you heading to? Where did the inspiration come from? And fuck yeah I've been enjoying the weather...I feel like an entirely different person.

Drinks sometime?

Thanks for the words. If you're looking for a good music scene, get out of Iowa and up to the pacific Northwest. Or just get out of Iowa.

yay for horny people.....

hi... iowa city? im from the quad cities.....

Hey stranger--

How have you been spending your time?

I wanted to see that...

hmm... got a thing for big words I see... I usually dont mind, but I just took an exam and my mind hurts...

when I think of Ray-Bans I think of Tom Cruise in Risky Business... seriously...

Stank like dirty. Yuck.

Thaks for reminding me about the G-Love. Almost forgot when I read your post.

Drinks tomorrow? I hope so.

thanks for your comment, it's nice to hear a thoughtful response... "others wear different shades of sunglasses, so don't blame them too much for their versions of light." ~ well said.. i'm not sure I can even respond to it, you hit it on the head...

you are my friend now, that is pretty cool, friends are good, as long as they don't wear Ray-Bans....

Hey, G-love is playing next Sunday at the IMU!
