vote for rory

as i was saying earlier, nothing makes me more excited about hockey than hockey-related stories irrelevant to the actual game. this story is old, but i recognized it from last year, as i was reading a more current voting-related article. i wanted to know what you thought about them, since you always like to remind me that hockey and d.c. area football still exist. good luck tonight. norris and i will be watching, holding our breath.

actually

this is how i'm feeling

snow please

i didn't think it was the right time for those ads. i wanted to live in text for the time being.

the forecast says it might snow tonight. i packed myself up in my bed for the rest of the day and i am here waiting. i'm drinking coffee and reading things on my computer, listening to music, listening for songs to put on my next playlist for you. this time between fall and between winter is giving me a chance to see the past and see the future. i can afford to lose regard for the present as i am in a safe and warm place, needing only myself.

i thought about you in the office, and what it would look like. i like to make up dull scenarios for your day at work. i've been imagining you and your life outside of my correspondence. i hope you're safe and warm like me.

full

i thought
you should be the first
one i showed this to

i'm afraid i had tried to restart our friendship for reasons that were partially selfish. i don't think my initial rationalization was in any way self-centered; i wanted to, as an old friend, at least help you become the person you wanted to be. and as you expressed so much enthusiasm, i really caught on. once i caught on, i'm afraid i got stuck. inevitably, your charm made me want to be closer and closer to you. i was drawn by how much intimacy you allowed me. you offered such a high level of affection and commitment at such a high frequency, as my need for you heightened to a swelling point. i think there were multiple swelling points. and for every crest, fell a trough. and for every trough, rose a crest. and my emotions became so inextricably tied to my phone calls with you... i wandered away from myself. and the decisions i needed to make for myself. i have strayed, and i am the one to blame. i longed for you while i was longing for someone else. i am making a decision to stop myself right here, while i can still untangle the string of feelings that led me this far. i care a lot about you, and that is all i can say. i think we need to rethink our intentions. and i am worried that i want too much. i am full.

plane and simple

i'm in terminal 5. that's slang for crazy future flight area in jfk international airport that jetblue built.

in my free time here, i actually finished revising a paper. who knew i could ever have the capacity to do that? capacity is a big buzz word in my life nowadays as you could definitely imagine. it's too bad there are no verbs relating to capacity. i'm not too sure if capable is its adjective. but i guess as it is, as a noun, capacity is perfect...

i'm full, really. and for a very long time, i've been full. i haven't become bloated, and i haven't popped, but i feel like i'm touching my outer limits. when i get the chance to think about it enough, i am very satisfied with how extended i am. it's a lot like having incredible metabolism. and not being fat. and eating a lot of food.

speaking of food, in that picture i was eating vegetable teriyaki from one of terminal 5's food terminals. seriously, this place is so advanced, it doesn't even have restaurants.

among my other waiting in airport highlights was the extensive use of david cook and blink 182 on the airport's radio station. that and the prolonged "float on blackbird" melody i had stuck in my head--which by the way, was used correctly in my response to harrison's status. i can't tell exactly what you meant by "no no no!" but i quoted the beatles' version accurately. it actually precedes your quote by about 5 seconds i think.

think about it.
