| It's not that I don't care about your lives, but I think I'm abandoning
this account. Girl's gotta have priorities and focus in her life.
This xanga served its purpose quite well, for being a way for me to deal with all the ways that he
hurt me; he got me into this and his absence will mark my departure.
Mostly, though, I'm quite past that stage of my life. I stopped writing
bad poetry and wrote some of the most eloquent passages of my life,
started eating less meat, made some incredible new friends through
xanga--most notably Christina Kelly and Christina Lee of Flushing, NY.
I got to be inspired by Wendy and Patricia for the way they take the
world into their own hands. I complained more than I chronicled my
life, but you do what you have to do.

| I wish I wrote this:
"i
guess you're old enough to know. kids out on the east coast. roughly
twenty years old. got coaxed out by a certain perfect ratio. of warm
beer to the summer smoke. and the meat loaf to the billy joel. certain
songs they get so scratched into our souls.she
goes low on the seats when she gets high in her car. she looks shallow
but shes neck deep in the steamy dreams of the guys along the harbor
bars. she's pulling out her shirttails and jacking up her socks. stern
and stoned and confident, coming up towards the jukebox. born into the
only songs that everybody finally sings along. b-1 is for the good
girls. it's only the good die young. c-9 is for the making eyes. it's
paradise by the dashboard light. d4 is for the lovers. b12 is for the
speeders. and the hard drugs are for the bartenders and the kitchen
workers and the bartender's friends. and they're playing it again.
ellen foley gives us hope. certain songs they get scratched into our
souls. i
guess you're old enough to know. kids out on the west coast are taking
off their clothes. screwing in the surf and going out to shows. they
get high and ride around in gtos. i guess you're old enough to know.
CERTAIN SONGS THEY GET SCRATCHED INTO OUR SOULS." | | |
| Holy shit, I'm going to see Alex Kronrod TWICE this week. Tomorrow, me,
Alex Kronrod, and Brenden are going up to the Big C. Friday, at least
me, Alex Kronrod and Brenden are going out to eat.

| The New Cast of Characters.
1. Nat--the guy I made friends with at CalSO. He's the guy I talk to about everything when I feel like shit.
2. Susan--my awesome roommate.
3. Melanie--my awesome Foothill-La Loma Health Worker Partner.
4. Brenden--my bud from Anthro
class + Section. We both have some common..."interests"...in other
words, we're obsessed with this guy named Alex Kronrod.
5. Alex Kronrod--this guy I met at a party, who is gay-friendly, very affectionate, sweet, and posi. He's my hero.
6. Jenny Chen--The President of Cal Q and A, who introduced Brenden and I to Alex Kronrod. She's best friends with him. She's my hero.
So basically, Brenden wants to go camping with me, our friend Amy H.,
Alex Kronrod and Jenny Chen. If that happens, it will be amazing. They
even want to invite Tal, just to create some more drama for me; Tal was
the guy who rejected me the morning after, when he was sober.
