moving and things
ever sort through all your stuff, get rid of a bunch and then discover
photos of yourself as a kid - doing some wsilly improbable thing?
i did, cos i'm moving. i have too much stuff, which is being remedied
quickly. (: moving is a way of life sometimes.
anyway - do you ever listen to something, and somehow - you listened so
hard, that it's in your head?
so for me it happened with Ffr. playing it back in my head while i
sorted/ditched and packed stuff, i hit the lines 'i can't leave the past
alone' and farther into something (bet i'm mixing songs) 'give me strength
to be only me' or the lines in a nother song: 'i grew up south of here in
town - they tore apart for coal..' etc.
those lines all running through my head, and a goofy picture i found of me
and my siblings. so i impulsively called mom to find out what the heck was
going on...i asked her what in the world were we doing in a grocery store
- they serious as anything (which they usualy weren't) and me - head
thrown back, arms out and you can tell i'm laughing. think i was 3. mom
says someone thought were cute and wanted to take our picture. instant
shyness: i was hiding, they were smiliing. right before the shutter, they
started to stare blankly, and i threw out my arms over my head and
laughed. (: i was 'a quiet kind of serious kid - given to unexplained
laughter' (end quote) good thing i grew up. sent my parents a copy of the
lyrics from ffr - they're fascinated (: hope they'll get a listen when
they come to see my grandad. he wouldn't keep the cd - he just moved his
hands around some and kept smiling - i guess now i know - it was me all
the time that he smiled at... somehow i like that more. kissing him on the
cheek is like kissing the wind: not much to it, but pleasant even though
it's gone before you blink...
spring is here, someone tell the weatherman.

with dinner at Milliway's, the restaurant at the end of the universe.
