i kinda like how you don't know each other well. when you do know each other well, you always have to tell them everything. i like your roomie and i feel bad for her too somehow even though i don't know her and i hate it when people feel bad for me. i hate lifetime, and i didn't get to watch Scrooged this season yet except for half of it ahaha. i've really missed you. what you said about love was interesting and sad. everything i'm saying is so point blank but i guess i'm just like that right now. ha!
isn't it fricken weird how sometimes you really can end up having a good time with someone who watches crappy television?

It's strange, isn't it, how often people orbit in silence around one another, approximating communication without actually touching?

"I think that people are like satellites or radio signals, instead of islands. There can’t just be one person for everyone, or even seven, with all of these wavelengths."

goddamn thats some great stuff...i wish you the warmest new year miss hannah miet. and i will continue stalking your blog well into next year- which, if nothing else, should prove to be a real 'pick me up on those days when you consider the flip to lifetime.

@Floreta- Thank you. I have yet to read Anais Nin....

2009-12-25T01:05:16.984-05:00

@Floreta- Thank you. I have yet to read Anais Nin. Do you have a starting point to recommend?

@ Mihu- Thanks, sweetheart. I want to see Romania someday.

@original - Great approach.

@Victoria - I know that she likes me. But only the me she knows, the sides that fits into her conservative mold.

In terms of her being shocked by my perception of her...I think she would be more sad. Which is why I will probably end up taking this post down out of paranoia.

@Mai Harris - I don't mind at all. I'm touched, actually. : )

@Simon - I am not offended, but I want that rug. Except I'm allergic to kittens. This fucks with the metaphor.

@Whimsy - Thank you. I will have to check out your blog...

@Mr.C - Ha, that makes me happy. I have another underwear story for you.

When I was at the hospital last night, I had to share a room in the ER with a woman on a respirator, who looked very close to the end. I was scared for her.

There weren't curtains, so I pretty much had to change into my hospital gown in front of the woman. All I could think was "Dear lord. I hope the last thing this woman sees before death is not my ass in a rainbow colored thong."

@ all - Thank again for the kind words. Merry Chri...

@ all - Thank again for the kind words. Merry Christmas or Merry Friday.

Yep.

Stumbled onto your journal... this was a fantastic entry... it give a great perspective on dealing with being a single adult and living among other single adults...

... forgive me for mixing my metaphors... sorta happens when I stumble onto some cool writing that I can 'feel'... enjoy the holidays..!

2009-12-23T09:29:24.376-05:00

Just wanted to add my "I love your writing" thoughts to your comments and life. I really do enjoy reading your blog. Thanks for taking the time to share.

I wish I knew as much about blogging and writing and life as you seem to.

If it's ok with you, Imma share some of what you said in my blog.. of course crediting you, I would never steal..

Peace..

2009-12-23T02:32:41.392-05:00

The metaphors in your penultimate paragraph suddenly reminded me of how a fellow blogger described a new rug he’d bought ‘felt like orgasms and kittens’. Apologies if you feel outraged at the comparison.

I hope you won't mind, but I quoted part of this b...

2009-12-23T00:24:48.176-05:00

I hope you won't mind, but I quoted part of this blog on my facebook. I gave a link to your blog and all, but if you want me to take it off just let me know and I will.

:)

2009-12-22T18:08:31.765-05:00

I must admit that I've come across your profile on 20Sb more than once and even visited your blog a couple times but never really commented. Until tonight. I'm berating myself right now for almost missing out on your lovely posts!

So here you are...with a new follower - me! LOL

Anyway your room-mate sounds very lonely and it's nice of you to at least talk to her...many wouldn't even care and go about their business...

My heart would reach out to her too if I were in your shoes...can't bear looking at lonely people...I know how it feels...

2009-12-22T16:03:42.827-05:00

Although your description of your roommate was in no way rude or disrespectful (it was actually pretty gentle), I'd be curious to hear what her perception of you is. Do you think she'd be surprised by your perception of her? Wonder if she has a blog somewhere? lol

Best to you,

2009-12-22T11:59:32.568-05:00

For me, love it torture.

I know that it's going to end. I'm just always waiting for the end.

It's going to come just as the sun rises, and it's going to kill you.

2009-12-22T08:27:24.557-05:00

If the world ended, I'd prefer it exploded with heartbeats.

You know I laugh a lot still at the post where you got locked out in your underwear.

2009-12-22T04:10:00.540-05:00

Yeh yeh....very beautiful...blinds me etc....seriously you owe it to yourself, really reach for the moon, get her loaded hash cakes or whatever and talk. X

2009-12-22T03:58:25.439-05:00

...of course you don't know me because i am from Romania. so, we are separated by a couple of tones of water, so to speak.
...but deep inside me, as soon as i have read your blog, for the first time, today&accidentaly, i knew it: if i could live&breathe where you live and breathe and also if i could, by any chance, meet you i would say something like this: you're my soul mate.
why do i say that: because you write and you feel and see the world exactly like i do.
starting today i will continue reading your blog till the end of time, thinking happily about my soul-mate that lives and breathe in New-York...
peace, hannah!
sorry for my poor grammar!

"I think that people are like satellites or radio signals, instead of islands. There can’t just be one person for everyone, or even seven, with all of these wavelengths."

beautiful!! and i believe similar. i don't believe in "the ONE".

i love reading your writings because they're beautiful fragments. it's like peeking into a diary. kind of like anais nin. but different.

@Sam - That makes me very happy to read. Thank you...

2009-12-22T00:23:31.567-05:00

@Sam - That makes me very happy to read. Thank you.

@Steve - You're right, of course. Although, as I mentioned to EQ, I'm starting to wonder if I just want there to be something to discover. If I don't believe that true simplicity or naivety exists, when maybe it really does.

I've only really traveled alone by plane. I'd like to think of myself as someone you would watch in an airport while pondering loneliness.

Isn't it funny how the things we hate bring us together? Your dad gets more awesome with every story.

I am definitely looking forward to your travel writing.

@Aphrodite - I wonder if it's the audience or the form...my audience isn't entirely unknown, even though I do love that most of it is.

@Paramour - I don't think you're my roommate in the sense that she hasn't fallen enough.

I am quite clumsy myself, falling across the ocean on ice skates two sizes too big.

@Purest - Your love sounds fun.

@Fierce - The universe must have a sardonic sense of humor. That's the only thing I can chalk it up to.

@Mysterg - I've been aching to watch Elf this year. I've been watching Christmas movies and drinking coffee with Bailey's when she's not around since she's Super Jewish. It feels like a drug habit.

The only place I've snuggled lately is in my mind. It's pretty comfy in here though, especially when someone special joins me. Even if only for a moment.

The snowangels, on the other hand, I make in real life.

@All - Thank you for the nice comments. I'm off to watch a Home Alone double feature since the TV is free.
