  • "i know you'll miss me."


    i smiled as he whispered into my ear.


    "you'll try not to. but i know you will."


    i laughed and pulled away. his grin was contagious and we kissed goodnight.


    and wrapped in a sweatshirt, drinking coffee with one of my best friends this past saturday. sitting inside murky, listening to the beats, reading our papers. laughing at my commitement issues. both with boys and careers.


    he was right. i did miss him.


    damn him.

  • You have options and will always have them. You have so many brilliant possibilities it is hard to pick one. I have no problems with commitment, I just can't get up in the morning is all.

    I wish you the best in dealing with the absenteism.

  • So I hope you're reading something good.  What?  What???

    I'm (slowly) reading Donna Tartt's THE LITTLE FRIEND and I am in love with it.  Her story is so rich.  Her characters are so round, multi-dimensional--I can feel them.  I love them.  I love it.

    I am also, as always, reading students' papers and now grants and books on consulting and freelance writing and...yada yada yada.  And the other day I found myself in the Harvard Book Store, one of my most favorite places in Boston-Cambridge-Harvard Square--where I picked up from the used books basement 2 poetry collections and a novel.

    I entirely understand choosing reading on the couch over a concert.  I do that TOO OFTEN.  I choose reading on my sofa, curled up with a blanket and a diet coke or a tea (diet coke and mint tea and red wine--my favorite drinks ever!) over a lot of things.  Yep, I'm a dork, but I don't care...
