1. It is DEFINITELY a girl thing to check out bathrooms. The greatest diversion in the world.

2. It is better to be screaming and loud (and possibly bullying) than scared and small and sorry. I wish wish wish I were strong enough to tell whomever it is that I love at the moment to fuck off when he is trying to make me crazy, because when we are crazy, they win, and so they will try every time. I always think to myself, this is the time I am not going to answer the phone the first three times he calls, to let him know treating me peremptorily will not be accepted, and yet I always answer it on the first ring, all sweetness and gentleness and love to love you baby. If I am fair enough, and show him the way to be gentle and soothing and loving and to communicate, he will do the same for me.

Hey, Lisa, guess what, lady? Sometimes they just never will.
Love you love you, baby.

Omyword! I burst into tears when I read the first sentence of number 2. I'm sitting at a little cafe outside, eating a salad and scarfing the free wifi from the leafy-green park across the street. But what the hell, the French keep talking beside me. I have always thought, and have been told, that I'm too big and too loud, so I have tried my hardest to be really small and under the radar. It is impossible, because it is not who I am. I know this challenge is to find out how to be my big-ass self, safely. Whatever that means. I have huge anthropomorphic anger (is there such a thing? It sounded good), and so, the full force of years and years comes into one objection....SOMETIMES. Other times I think that circumstances deserve the full force of my wrath. But THIS is a sin for me to say. And here I am saying it. Et voi-fucking-la!

You also say a big truth. When I am calm and quiet, not out of fright or shutting down, but out of respect and love and openess (a tough place to be in a fight), people come around to the calmness, usually. If I was on a Valium drip, I could maintain this amazingly wise guru-like space, but I react and react and react and then they react back and react back and react back. sigh.

in Commie Girl Kisses Fiachna: Story At Six on OMYWORD! Did I Say That?
Dude, I TOTALLY made out with Fiachna!
I was just being coy, or gentlemanly or something, when I said I "may have."
Just wanted you to know.

And I'm STILL listening to his goddamn album. I feel like such a stalker. Sad me!

Omyword! Oh God, we're dyin' here! So damn funny. Fiachna was very gentlemanly and didn't go into detail at all, damnit. So I had to imagine things.

Did I tell you we miss you baaadly? Come back as soon as possible. And maybe when I can pry your book from Fi's fingers, I can do a real review post. Til then, email me with updates on life and such.

Turc's is the kind of place you go once and don't go back. No one turns around when you come in the door, they all just look glumly at the bar in front of htem and emanate waves of hate. It's not exactly Saddleback Church, where oh, yes, you WILL BE WELCOMED, or even Wal-Mart.

The LAST thing I want to do is blame the parents or make them feel worse right now, but people (Latino people especially) have GOT to stop letting their kids play outside at all hours of the night. I used to live at 11th and Ohio, and there were four-year-olds out after 11 p.m. every single night being watched by their seven-year-old sisters. Not safe. Not okay. Not. Acceptable. I'm hardly the sheltering type, but there must be more responsibility taken to keep your kids safe and okay. Yes, the boogie man can come no matter how many walls and moats you try to build, but there has to be a line, and running around at 10 p.m. for a donut is to the south of it.
Great. Now I sound like Gordon Dillow.

Wow!
Well, my bastard child's doing great, thanks! (Of course, I assume you know he's actually my little brother, and I'm his legal guardian? Have been since his first mom died when he was a baby? And in fact his parents were married?) I do have to hand it to you, though: even after the nail salon, I did in fact look like a slutty piece of shit.

BFF! Write back! XOXOXO!

Yeah, what Matt Z. said. It HAD to be a muted cry--cowardly, mewling, but his widow's mite attempt at sticking it to the man . . . obliquely. Didn't it? Didn't it? No? Aw, fuck.

You guys, you guys! Freedom of speech is great (we're FOR it), and that's why the government can't throw anyone in jail for exercising it. But you CAN sue for intentional infliction of emotional distress, and for invasion of privacy. Which they clearly were doing.
