Huh.

From my tag archives:

Maybe the appeal was there because of exactly that - a chance to check upon her choice, reflect on it and decide whether it fits her and answers her needs. - Nilly

Kristin! I've been thinking about you a lot lately, with the beginning of your time in the new job! How is it going?

Where are you there?

OK, how specific do you want me to get?

You can say "near Tel Aviv". You can say that I go to Bar Ilan university, and that I live right next to it. If you really want to get specific (since there are like 5 towns bordering the university, it's really a whole big urban area), my apartment is in Givat-Shmuel.

I meant tonight, BT.

Go to sleep, Perkins.

This? NSM yelling.

This? NSM yelling.

It's late, I don't want to be rude and keep the neighborhood awake.

GO TO SLEEP NOW!

Unlike, say, my neighbors who are whooping and hollering. I think there might be a child around too. The downfall of summer and the gorgeous weather just begging me to keep windows and doors open is that people = bad.

Fire, however, is pretty. I impulsively bought a candle that might be lavender, sandelwood and marjoram. Subtle actually but very nice.

eta: shiny number. very orderly.

I think most of them were in your Firefly posts actually.

So that's "Firefly", that's not me - that's just me trying to figure something else out. That's Joss and Tim and what they had to say.

Not even neccessarily love, just those connections that people have

Well, it's important, you know? People are the most interesting and complicated and wonderful thing in the world. Romantic relationships are just one kind of all the practically infinite possibilities.

Also, I have no idea where and why I wrote that thing you posted as a part tagline. Huh.

It's amazing to me, how words can cross so many barriers and actually mean something so such different people who lead such different lives. That's some sort of magic, right there.

[Edit: Cass, for the record - it's very important to me that there's anything that I may be able to say that may have some significance to you. Thank you.]

That's better, Cass.

Hey, I'm going to see you soonish. Yay!

Kristin! I've been thinking about you a lot lately, with the beginning of your time in the new job! How is it going?

Well, though very hectic and overwhelming. Also, we have crazy-making amounts of orientation and professional development before the students show up. I had two days of new staff training last week and a full week of whole faculty meetings etc. this week. My head is spinny in the bad way. It's a bit much considering how much I have to accomplish before Monday.

It is funny, though, to be surrounded by Hebrew speakers. I kept wishing you were around to tell me what the heck everyone was talking about!

Perkins, I'm not yelling, because even the top of my lungs won't do for this whole ocean-apart away. But I'm thinking it very loudly.

---

that's not me - that's just me trying to figure something else out. That's Joss and Tim and what they had to say.

Not to me.

The characters are Tim and Joss. The character's words are Tim and Joss. And I adore both of the characters and their words.

But your reading of the relationship and interactions are what I was referring to and marked so I could go back again and again to read.

Also, I have no idea where and why I wrote that thing you posted

I'm not recalling either. I might have to do a search. But tomorrow as tonight I am tired and since tomorrow should be a better day than today, sleep is for the best.

It's amazing to me, how words can cross so many barriers and actually mean something so such different people who lead such different lives. That's some sort of magic, right there.

Yes, magic... I think it is why they fascinate me so much.

Words can be shape shifters. Different for each person.

Thanks Nilly.

I think I am going to try the sleep thing. I hear good things about it.
