i’ve got to delete this app for a bit. i worry i may be beyond the part of my life where i can cope with social media. got back from a mediocre walk on the mountain—too busy and my hips hurt—to do a bunch of clothes mending and put on some pre-code comedy. all my best to my mutuals on here. xo

final panel shows nancy looking behind the bushes but the text from r crumbs "lookit that stupid ass-hole!" meme panel placed atop it so that nancy is looking in disgust at sluggo saying 
"I loathe ever person i see on the street! Lookit that stupid ass-hole!"
with text saying "normal guy" pointing at sluggo.
the whistling from the original panel has been removed and the whistling from the r crumb panel has been placed there instead.

no one actually asks me to explain my life. i’ve been trying to rewrite this fear for years now. but it still comes back.

keep fighting tears at work because someone walks by me in the store looks sort of like one of any number of people i used to know and my whole body tightens up at trying to explain my life to someone who thinks i’m closer than a stranger. the isolation of illness really did a number on me.

and then when i was sixteen or seventeen i got it in my head that i needed to decide between composing music or writing poetry and i picked poetry.

i never really want to write a poem again, but also i don't know how to do that many other things and there's such a big hole in my heart where creative expression used to be. i think of listening to A Love Supreme when i was a kid and thinking wow all i ever want to do is make art.

just looked inside the running shoes i have been wearing most days for the size and am shocked that the number is one i have never known myself to wear before. very destabilizing. who does this body belong to? nervous to check my other shoes.

i found this mostly a frustrating activity, but i think this is the most honest list if influence on my life or sensibilities is the thing being judged.

haven't seen stalker on the big screen since we put it on in one of the big classrooms in the then-new engineering building at the UofA. did unsanctioned screenings for our friends in those rooms weekly for a couple of months, passing a bottle of gin around.

hmm. i could work eight hours straight moving boxes around a fridge tomorow and then immediately dash over to cinema du parc to watch stalker with french subtitles and presumably nap through half of the picture.

my personal version of that line from the beginning of my dinner with andre ends the following way: "...now i'm thirty four and all i think about is how i need to tidy my apartment."

this plan brought to me by me almost ordering a print and then realizing that i have no faith that i'll actually frame the thing, so i'd better spend some time learning to make frames.

at work yesterday i spent at least seven hours in a refrigerator after spending twenty minutes in a freezer; my body still feels kind of cold somewhere deep in me. so maybe a hot bath is in order. hot water bottle at least.
