My brain is so tense right now. I'm overwhelmed by all the things that I'm not: trendy, artsy, indie, thin, published, sleeping, in school. It's the last one that hurts the most right now. The only time I really feel 100% eg is when I'm with K--when I can put everything in my head out there, and be understood.
Understand.

In other, and more important, news, it's finally out:

You know, I would borrow it from you if you lived around here. Is that why you always sun my Berkeley suggestions?
And: I personally LOVE the new background. I don't know if it's you either, but I think it's great.
The th. stamp of approval makes me like this even more.
And check your inbox. . .
I like it. :)
I like it too - it's trippy.
I agree with Theric's assesment of your new look.
As for these other things that you're "not":
trendy--Trendy is not a good thing where I come from, e.g. Being non-trendy only reveals you're depth and timelessness.
artsy--You are actually quite artsy. Remember when we went to that museum in S.F.? Remember all those "ephrastic" poems you've written?
indie--Isn't being "indie" right now kind of like being "grunge" in like 1993? While there is a worthy anti-capitalist mentality (just as there was among 1960s hippies and the whole "alternative" thing in the early '90s), mostly "indie" has become (or always was???) merely a cultural style. (But if you want to boost your "indie cred" anyway, listen to Boise, Idaho's best kept secret, Built to Spill. I can send you MP3's)
thin--Overrated. Thin doesn't equal beautiful.
published--This is just temporary. You will be published. Soon. -ish.
Those last two (sleeping, in school) do kind of suck, though. Sorry about those. And sorry this is so long, but your dot is never green on g-chat, so I'm left with this.
things you are not:
boring
average
shallow
finished
