"half-listening, interpreting the air"
Oct. 5th, 2005 03:05 pmi'd like to learn how to spend more time focusing on the attention i get than the attention i don't.
got a paper letter from a friend in college, a response to a line i'd sort of forgotten i'd thrown into the water. it was from hawaii, so i actually assumed it was from someone else entirely (the address had the initials jah and i failed to read the h). it felt neat, but she asked if i was talking to anyone from college, and it took me a long time to figure out how to say 'mostly, no.' and i can't tell if i think that livejournal rubs salt in the wounds of friendships severed by choice or by chance, or if it gives me the ability to bandage those wounds. or maybe it does both at the same time, and i'm just better with salt than with bandaids.
but she seems to be doing well, and the knowledge that she is makes me grin until my cheeks hurt. and writing her back, i rediscover how much my handwriting has gone to shit, and how frequently i'm mixing my letters up, and it's slightly disorienting, but it's also neat to know that it doesn't freak me out as much as it did when it started a couple years ago.
i need some new music to listen to. and some new books to read. i'm trying to slog my way through half a dozen things i either should have already read, or thought i might enjoy at one point. though it might be that nothing's going to be quite as much fun as a mieville rapidly followed by gaiman. i've got books and bpal to post about tonight, even if i'm a little bit chagrined when i make multiple posts in one day.
i also need to figure out how to choose curtains. i'd like something couch-matching and insulating for the front bay window this winter, but i'm intimidated by the prospect of a) finding them and b) installing a curtain rod.
i'm canceling my plans to go to Providence and visit Iceburg this weekend (i think) for a variety of reasons, and i can't tell if they are good ones or not.
apple crisp for potluck tonight. i'm still torn between a flour-based and an oat-based topping.
fall makes my cats cuddlier. and it's almost time to put up the autumnal gelgems.
