Sort of like Dave Sedaris, I guess. Shortish essays/stories that people can relate to. I'm not saying that I think you should stop writing fiction, because I love your fiction, but I think the kind of stuff you write in your blog definitely has a place in the world.Christyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05246085652198989061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-780702023985555890.post-78862973579941421642009-01-11T21:41:00.000-08:002009-01-11T21:41:00.000-08:00Genny, my friend.

I still have all the stories you gave me throughout college and they still make me laugh (or cry). Every. Single. Time.<BR/><BR/>I still go to them when I need to feel better. I know exactly where there are and can put my hands on them in a moment's notice. I have many possessions but few that I couldn't do without. I consider your stories to be irreplaceable. In less of course, you still have copies of all of them. Then I guess I could in fact, replace them...<BR/><BR/>:)Billyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17253720562458170940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-780702023985555890.post-48322206139636576022009-01-10T22:19:00.000-08:002009-01-10T22:19:00.000-08:00You make me laugh all the time. :) Out loud. I ...You make me laugh all the time. :) Out loud. I am in fact at instances inspired to read your lines aloud for Jonathan's entertainment - like that one about "hot for teacher". Hee.<BR/><BR/>Today was my 31st birthday, and I celebrated it by getting a huge tattoo (blog forthcoming). My tattoos are also more prominent than my cutting scars - in fact only one is still visible. I remember it. It bled a lot. I was never trying to bleed anything out though; for me it was a way of bringing me back into the present, giving me a problem I could understand and do something about. Cut on arm. Clean the wound. Apply bandage. A few fleeting moments out of the dark prison of my head and into the physical world where problems had causes and solutions.<BR/><BR/>Now, as to the songs that trouble you. For the Offspring, it's all about putting it into context: guy being used by bitch of a girl who doesn't treat him right. We all did it when we were young; most of us were on both sides at one point or another. It's youthful remembrances is all.<BR/><BR/>As to Beck's Loser, just focus on the line "drive by body pierce" and everything will be alright. Labret? Tragus? <I>Prince Albert???</I> Ooh, or how about "I'm a driver, I'm a winner - things are gonna change, I can feel it!" I have a theory about that song: that to write it he was just sitting there with a tv remote, switching the channel and writing a brief description of exactly what he saw in a few seconds and then switching again. It makes it pretty fun to try to figure out what might have been on the screen.<BR/><BR/>And as to Linkin Park? That's a really easy answer. NEVER LISTEN TO LINKIN PARK. Done!<BR/><BR/>Really, enormous tattoo. And to think, it's only half done.Embee Breedlovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14473406083727883802noreply@blogger.com
