    Time Event
    10:22a
    starved
    finally. finally, as i was about to write them off completely, i received my copies of asphodel in the mail. now, this journal was due out some time in the fall, but in typical rowan fashion, it is now spring of an entirely different year. what can you do? i have yet to inspect my poem for typos, but i am pleased to see that it won honorable mention in the journal's competition (why did they not tell me this?). i realize how extremely overdue a next batch of submissions is. what is my problem?

    today will be a very busy day, as i have to make several personal calls from work (what other time do i have?) while holding down the proverbial fort (i am alone today) and registering munchkins for the next round of storytimes. i can't find my damn colerase pencils, and so must either (a) get over it and finish the wiley test with an inferior pencil or (b) go buy colerase pencils at pearl paint. aah, fuck it.

    a list, in no particular order, of things i remember about steven deutsch, from whom i have just heard in more than 10 years, and whose blog i came across only because he referenced me somewhere therein and i was doing my regular self-search on yahoo:

    1. in 4th grade reading, we were paired to create, write, and bring in an original recipe. amidst pans of brownies and rice krispie treats--"ghostbusters' ghost barf surprise." and you people wonder why i wasn't popular.

    2. also in 4th grade, i told on him to mrs. piscitello when he adapted the words of michael jackson's "man in the mirror" to include references to my prepubescent nudity.

    3. in 5th grade (i think?) we teamed up to enter our town's halloween window painting contest. pictures of our masterpiece do not survive, because i tore them up when my mom began referring to steven as my "little boyfriend."

    4. he and scott braunius lived across the street and teased me relentlessly. i believe i teased them back. i believe someone tried to pull my pants down outside scott's house.

    5. in our 5th grade class picture, you can see that i am standing an unusual distance from him, because he had poison ivy and i was afraid i would catch it.

    6. he had a tail, before it was cool. and after.

    7. he was very smart when it came to computers and science, even offering up his own scab to microscopic inspection, 6th grade.

    8. he liked heavy metal and owned a cabbage patch kid, both of which impressed me to no end.

    9. he had a younger brother and sister, who were much nicer to me than he was.

    10. he moved away right before high school began in earnest.

    11. children and preteens can be downright awful to each other.

    Current Mood: surprised
