dear heart,

i have missed our talks.  i've not spoken to you in words in so long.  i guess that being a thousand miles away is wearing on me more than i'd like it to.

remember when things were simple and we just watched movies and drank whiskey?  chain smoking and talking long into the night.

i hope to see you soon.

Pre Katrina

I just posted pictures of the view from my apartment before Katrina hit 6 years ago.  It was on the fourth floor in the French Quarter on Bourbon St.  And as much as living on Bourbon sucked, that apartment was oh so rad.  I loved it.  It was one big room with no kitchen and I lived there with 2 other people but we had the most amazing view of the city.  I miss it.

Not just the view, but New Orleans. 


Chicago isn't bad, don't get me wrong, but I am just homesick today.

And that I can't fucking sleep isn't helping.

Mood Sleep

My moodiness has been all over the board the last few weeks.  I'd like a moment to readjust.  Just one moment where I'm not laughing one minute and crying the next. 

Kthanks.

Also, I know I have insomnia, but it's really kind of a pain.  I miss sleeping, more accurately, I miss dreaming.  I guess my brain isn't totally rebooting because I'm groggy most of he day and I think this also explains my moodiness.

Let's hope it gets better before it gets worse.

Boyfriend Wanted.

Must love random decoration for holidays
kissing
tickle wars
random silliness
and the sound of trains

No specific physical attributes
or political leanings
but would prefer a witty, understanding non racist
Sarcasm is appreciated but no cynics, or pessimists need apply

Any similarity to
The Dream King
Sirius Black
Spencer Reid
or Oscar Wilde is welcome

Must be tolerant of silly sounds
Black and White movies
mis matched socks
and staying up late

I have a slightly chaotic mind
chipped nail polish
and a very slight limp

I have a nearly unnatural love of museums
public libraries
old time carnivals
vaudeville
and music.

I rub my feet together in my sleep
smoke
and think that Tom Waits is one of the most amazing recording artists of all time.

All I want is
to read to each other in bed
to snuggle, even when it's not cold
and laughter till our sides ache.
