"as I/struggle to keep my/balance + composure-"

"As a Christian and a believer in the Bible, I strongly believe that marriage between a man and a woman is a sacred institution and the essence of a healthy society. The Federal Marriage Amendment helps protect this belief."
--Rep. Zack Wamp, GOP.gov

Again, since when does some man's belief in Christianity get to be codified by law? This country has some serious shit to sort out.

come n' get it.

Dyou know what's gross? My Tevas. Evidement, at some point, they got wet or something, and now they smell bad. Like all the previous pairs of Tevas, most of which were my younger bro's hand-me downs, these pretty beige fuckers are turning to stink. They make me smell, which I don't like. As someone who bathes with discretion, I really don't need to smell bad because of my rotting sandals.

Today I scammed 60 copies of my zine from a little place I like to call "the free copy center." Yea! If only I had been able to get it together before meeting all those rad kids @ the Trans-forming Feminism conference. Sigh. Listening to Sanskrit chants is, at the very least, reminding me not to get clutch about things. And anyway I get to go to Blegen soon for food!

There's only one thing that would make this whole set-up better-- okay, there's lots of things, like not smelling bad or being in the ocean, but anyway--and it would involve me not being shy.

"come on then I'll take you on no trouble"

"and you grab me back and
say 'no' and how you've stopped being so hard so now we
can be sweet to eachother for ages at a time and how
intoxicatingly erotic what a turn-on and what a turn-up
for the books what an about-face
for us masochistic sadistic porn-ridden lesbians with our
stiletto whip chains cigarette burns drugs broken bottles
flickknife fists leather crew cuts
back to the dormitory- yes- but straight to the bedroom
hope this finds you in the spirit
in which it leaves me"

from "Sextec" by Mary Fallon.
