Re: "In regards to the maybes, I've liked every one I met so far and felt like I'd known them all forever. ZenPunkist (Eva) and I are pretty tight friends now, too, which I love because she's the coolest chick I've ever met. "

I couldn't agree more. At the meme-orial I met some of the most intelligent and nice people I could hope to find. ZenPunkist was so kind to those of us who travelled from across the country. Great conversation as well. After my divorce is finally over I hope to travel out that way again (maybe spring/summer).

Mindy, you hit the nail on the head, particularly on the "undercover" part. Only a select few know what a wackadoo I am, and I want to keep it that way. :-) I'm not sure how long I'm going to last here if others can easily learn of my existence.

I mean, it goes back to my mother being called out as a witch in church when she was a child. We've got a long long history of keeping our heads down in the presence of "normals", because the minute they show up in front of the castle with the torches and pitchforks, it's all downhill from there.

The maybes are truly the only online folk I've felt at home with. The Magicians get on my nerves, the crafty people are fun but limited, the drummers just go thump thump thump. Even the ultra-terrestrials get on my nerves -- you've seen one archangel, you've seen 'em all. Nothing beats a bunch of maybes.

I swear this is just copied from an old bit of writing i did after the MLA meet last year.

I junked it kinda, it was difficult to represent all the talk
All of you! individuals.
but it feels related enough to post here...

"Waffles sizzling on a hot bed, scolding hot coffee. Chocolate covered pieces of real orange and real orange juice, real fresh (served within 40 Minutes). Cantos sized Lasagna, a yellow elastic plastic catapult and six human beings gathered by a grey lake, dimples from the pitter patter cats and dogs breaking the tension.

Von Lee and the Chocolate shop, the holy communion down the bog, lost his hands and made "God" move several tons of shit.

Ducks dive in the great lake, under water for up to and over a minute, fresh ducks. Upward Fountain of Agua, a world water life tree.

The five cats are meanwhile stretching out in the lounge, preparing for their next lecture on the Pound/Eliot synthesis, followed by a roll playing game based upon a Hidden Variable that Tom Robbins created for the classical paradox in Quantum Theory: Schroedingers Cat paradox. His Hidden variable is "Cat Nip!"

A Canna bus cruise boat idles past the six figures watching another duck swimming with something unidentified in its beak.

A dog yelps from misreading the thorns on a stray piece of tree in the pathway.

We enter the last Water hole. And then goodbye to the Angel's 20 min later.
