nugget pointed me at
this gem of modern quasifiction, and i've spent the evening reading it and enjoying the gestalt of that as coupled with its musical suggestions (simon and garfunkel and the pixies are what i latched onto, but there are plenty of suggestions therein for your varied tastes. like abba, cobain, and many stars of the 80's and 90's) and some furious IM'ing. i don't mean that i was furious, but that the IM'ing was at least rapidfire & passionate if not life-changing. hi,
twilite_embrace!
from the linked story:
I read an article once that claimed if you added up all the time you’ve spent waiting and bored over the years it would amount to roughly one fourth of your life.stop waiting. go do it. life is happening right now, with or without you. it's true that it's far better to regret something you have done than something you haven't done.
so what are you waiting for? gravity doesn't hurt.
