I'll Have Some Parentheses Please. by Kid. on 2002-01-29 13:45:03

Why the aches? Illness? Injury? Run down? Anything I can do? I'd like to run you a hot bath and make a cup of tea, but I fear both would be cold by the time you got to them. For me, you could write as often as you like, its always a pleasure to read what you've been up to, and even if its bad, you know what they say about a problem shared....(Don't want to sound like a schoolteacher there, so apologies if I do). You can get my web-diary at - actually I can get a link, and....ah, I'll go, get it, and put it on in a mo'. I haven't seen 'Heavenly Creatures' all the way through yet, just snippets here and there, I'm more of a period drama Kate fan, I loved Quills - saw it, ooh, 3 or 4 times in the cinema up the road, 'Sense & Sensibility' (Aah!) I have my sister's copy of; and she always looks great at awards shows. I'm enjoying my delve further into Noetic.com, but there's more to read there than my eyes have life left in them!

Oh, and I have to ask, do you have a copy of Alice with you, or do you know it that bit too well? And if there's anyone approaching with the intention of scaring you off the computer, send them my way....and I'll....deny them a biscuit. Sorry, its the best I can do at the moment.

Of 2 Websites... by Kid. on 2002-01-29 13:50:00  |  Reply to this
  For the delve further in, read, Noetic.org, although I did go to Noetic.com first, and thought....hmmm....a computer software company? What relevance this? Then I checked and as so often/rarely (delete as appropriate) happens, it fell into place.

This
all being well, is a link to my diary. If not, then.....hmmm....I know. I'll check, and then if all goes the shape of pears, I'll be able to (hopefully) edit it.

  ... so I woke up this morning -- the sun is 99% out and doing it's thing here in the desert -- the body pain hs subsided for now... it's unpredictable you see. It's called 'lupus'. It's an autoimmune disorder which attacks the connective tissue, and, since everything in the body is connective tissue (excepting one's bones) it basically sucks. It's in the blood and when I have a flare-up is when there is the most pain -- I have no tolerance for pain. I need a new drug! I'd start smoking pot again if it didn't make me paranoid... Anyway, I don't want to go into this in depth all day -- I don't mind answering questions, that is, if you have any. Okay. So I'm an idiot. I went to the link but couldn't quite tell which "Kid" you were... so would you mind picking a favorite entry of yours and telling me what name it's under???? (???) please??? I try to think of things to ask you, then I forget once I'm here. But I DID want to know about your hair falling out -- did it finally stop? Do you know WHY? it was falling out? Have you any hair left? Illness or stress-related? ...sigh... time is fleeting...

  okay. So I stopped being an idiot and located you (just now) at the diary site. So I am confused about geography -- Norwich is E. England, and, I thought you said you went to Oxford??? Did I misunderstand? Anyway, when I was typing my entry yesterday and trying to send it, that's when the site went ka-blooey. And I guess that's why there are 4 (!) repeats. I didn't do it, honest. I'm just glad it didn't disappear into the ethers... Hey -- you and Audrey Hepburn -- a good match, eh? Question: what exactly ARE your crimes, then? Crimes-of-the-Heart? Cyber-crimes? -- luring young women and then? You seem too young to have racked up anything major. Now, the girls in "Heavenly Creatures"... theirs was a crime! Acch -- the librarian has just announced the two-minute warning! Ta, for now! d.-

  I can only sympathise about your condition, it sounds terrible. Have you always had it, or is it (How to say this....) acquired?

My hair hasn't stopped falling out per se it is just less noticeable now its all the same colour and only about 4cm long. (Hair length; innuendo comes as standard). My crimes generally involve what is probably best described as antics. Taking of things that help the public (for free) and claiming them as my own. I won't get arrested for it unless the police catch me with them on the day, but they're crimes nonetheless. Cyber-crimes? Don't have the know how. Crimes of the heart? I wish. Luring young women? I can't even do that. Ah, hang about, is Heavenly Creatures the one with Kate & her friend killing a mother (one of theirs can't remember which)? If so, then I saw it, and quite enjoyed it, but it was a while back now. That reminds me to check when 'From Hell' is out. A little pet hobby of mine that, believe it or not. Johnny Depp. (Haha!)
Oh, and you can smile to yourself if I tell you I checked back about 7 or 8 times that the page was gaga over the last 2 days, so eager was I to read what you would write.
Oh, and me and Audrey? *Strokes chin wistfully, eyes cloud over*. Me and Audrey.

  this library is quiet today, so I may get a little extra writing time in (?) Yes! Thanks for reminding me about "From Hell". I do like watching videos it's true -- a media brat as it were! Now, I'm not clear on this "hobby" of yours... (?) Johnny Depp in particular? *OR* gents in general? I really don't care... just curious and looking for clarification! Let's see... in that vein my favorite classical/period movie would HAVE to be: Franco Zeferrelli's "Romeo and Juliet" !!! -- it's one of the few plays whose dialogue I've got (more or less) committed to memory. Go online anywhere and take a gander at some lupus sites. I was diagnosed with it back in 1996, my bother had been diagnosed with MS about 4 years earlier. So, basically in our cases it's genetic. A genetic crapshoot! And we lost. THIS IS WHY I want to see stem-cell research hurry the fuck up! I mean, I wouldn't mind being someone's guinea pig in the name of helping others... Also, I CAN'T TAKE THE PAIN!! I would at least like to generate awareness about this disease, so I hope you will read about it. The original mortality rate was considered 10 years after diagnosis. Now, in this century lifespan can be normal, yet must also include treatment (of course). I haven't figured this part out yet, as, you know, health care is for the rich! How does health care work in the UK? Anyway... questions, questions... Nic Harcourt? Is he one of yours then? Or is he an Aussie? And how had you heard of him? ... and then... I remember one of your entries from last year talking about how you felt older (or something like that -- I don't want to misquote) than your years... is this true? In other words, do you consider yourself to be an 'old soul'? Sorry Audrey passed away... she was quite the humanitarian. I'm enjoying our writerly relationship thoroughly! There have been several famous ones published, yes? But I guess one has to be dead to get recognized in this fashion. Yes, I wanted to connect, and have, but you have made me realize that I must do that right here and where I am instead of with someone over there and far away... you see? So, I can practice with you at least. I am happy to have a cyber pen-pal! So. Many thanks to you, Kid, for your interest and time and musings... (the library is still quiet and I feel like a thief, stealing away time and writing to you!) Now I will reveal that my birthday is on Valentine's Day! (a day in which Kid, I expect, recoils horrified from the chocolatiers, [shaking his fists] and writing many letters complaining of the mass sugar marketing conspiracy against him!) INSTEAD OF approaching the "Deli girl" and having a special Valentine of his own. Go! Lad! -- find that special someone! I command you! AND as one of Love's emissaries! -- (what else would be my mission for being born on this day?) I have spoken.

  The library was surely empty to get so much written! The 'hobby' I referred to is, fortunately for all those ladies out there who were worried, Jack The Ripper himself, and all the theories thereupon. From what I understand about 'From Hell' they've come up with a conspiracy involving all the leading 'suspects', but I believe it'll be a load of old baloney, and will gladly rubbish it. Don't ask me what I think, I only know what isn't the truth. Nic Harcourt, oddly enough, broadcasts from L.A., but at KCRW.com, you can listen to his shows from the past (It works well for me, as I can copy many a live set to minidisc) few months/years. I heard of him througha record label. Its a long story, and probably not worth telling.
Yes, I do feel older than my years, at least a lot of the time I do. Tonight I went out to paint the town red and, including my nose bleed (haha! No, I actually had one, just minor, like) I managed to do so. But I feel all the older for it now. Aching feet and legs - too much dancing believe it or not.

However, I feel sprightly/awake/friendship enough to write this to you - and its 3.27am, you know - I, too, am glad to have a cyber pen-pal. (That phrase sounds so clumsy. Its the 'cyber' that does it. Ruins everything. Hmmm, I don't know). I can only hope in regards to deli girl, but I'll let you know. As for Valentine's day, I tend to spend it consoling my single friends. I'm used to it now, being single, but it hurts some people more than others. Luckily, one of my best friend's girlfriend is (probably) in England for St. V's so he'll be as happy as Larry. She lives in Chicago, you know. Makes you sick, doesn't it?
Now, I can only wonder what to do to celebrate your birthday. I've got a couple of ideas, but they might take a while to come to fruition. Cos, you know, I'm pushed for time. Occasionally.
And don't mock my chocolate thing, there's a reason. I'll write it up tomorrow, I need a nice warm bed now. Clean sheets on it too.

  -- the only 'mock' is on the turtle [she quipped]. I mock you not, my friend -- to each one's own... I like writing to you, because I DON'T know you! Does this make sense? Of course not, and yet, it's always been pondered: why do we people feel more comfortable opening up to complete strangers? You know, get on the bus or train or online and spill it all out. Again, I believe it's the anonymity what counts! hmmmm... you wrote me after a "few bevs" ??? -- you meant BEERS, yes? you party-animal! No need to celebrate my birthday, I just happen to like St. Valentine's Day regardless! And I wanted to tell you. I believe I was born on a day of Love, to experience Love and to share Love -- it's not been easy I'll say what! I must tell you now, I really LOVED the very idea of your drawing a bath for me -- such that it seemed so nurturing that I would immerse myself and (perhaps) cry for a hundred million years.... The desert is beautiful today. The weather is perfect and sunny and warm and here I am INDOORS writing to you! I am so disconnected with nature. And this can't be good. Question: why do you like hearing from me? Writing style? Just the fact that I'm writing to YOU? Just what is (in your humble opinion) the connexion here? oh-oh. I may have to get off the computer -- and just when I was getting started! Ta!

  I did mean beers, yes, I'm a student after all. Do you really find it so hard to share? You seem to do it just fine here - poetically, thoughtfully and (if words can do such a thing) gracefully. I suppose it could be, as you say, the anonymity of it, I don't know.

I like to think (he says, realising quite how pompous he sounds) of myself as quite in touch with nature, and the fact that you notice such things is enough; bear in mind that the world is very much a beautiful place but you have to stop to acknowledge it from time to time, else it might all pass you by.

Why do I like hearing from you? Of course, the fact that you are writing to me is nice, its nice to feel that other people are thinking of you, but you throw a new spin on things, see things differently, and express them differently to the way I do. Its something I not only enjoy from a personal point of view, but also on a more intellectual level.
P.S. - I tend not to enjoy St. Valentine's day, not because I tend to be flying solo, but more that if there's no-one to curl up with on the sofa, 'Its A Wonderful Life' seems that bit emptier.
