Today was a really long, hard but exhilarating day. (Is it just me, or do I seem to be having a lot of those days lately?)
I have been running on empty the last couple of days, just sort of skimming the fat to burn in my lamp... not a bright light, but technically I'm burning... squinting and straining to focus on my surroundings... breathing through my mouth so I wouldn't have to endure the stench of my own exhaustion. On starting my own business, people often say things to me like, "Oh, this is YOUR baby! You're so lucky!". If this is accurate at all, then I really have no need to ever bear children, because once really IS enough. There was a time not so long ago when I really thought I couldn't do this alone. And now I can't imagine it any other way. I guess the parenting comparison isn't that far off...
But after my gruelling day, I was lucky enough to spend a couple of hours with one of my most FAVORITE people in the entire universe, SKINJOB... and I learned the most incredible news, that I'm sure she'll share with her friends in a while. I am absolutely elated right now. I can't go into details, but it just makes my understanding of the world complete. And suddenly I don't notice that stink in the dark any more.
I'm ecstatically happy for you, my love. This couldn't be more *RIGHT*.
Has anyone else had any moments of clarity lately? Please share...

then he's kissing my neck and whispers in my hair how beautiful i am.. and i remember.
im just having fun.
My father is also a single malt snob, and I've actually liked some of the stuff he drinks, though I could never afford it myself. I save my pennies for records and books. I'm a nerd that way.
