Fits and starts
September 04, 2006
I apologize in advance if my writing here is a bit spotty over the next few months. This book-writing thing makes me want to do just about anything other than write when I’m not… uh, writing. Which means the blog may suffer, though perhaps I’ll make my intern take dictation while I sip scotch from an armchair. That sounds quite lovely, actually. Especially the part with the scotch.
This past week I drove to Massachusetts and spent four days with Bella Vendetta. It was like one long-assed pajama party, let me tell you. We laughed over and over about the fact that we’ve both been approached a number of times by reality shows and documentary film crews who think doing day-in-the-life stuff with us would be truly fascinating. The only way for us to make it fascinating would be to stage stuff, because when the excitement of the Bella Vendetta and Audacia Ray in their pajamas! factor wears off, all you’ve really got is two unkempt girls sitting in front of their computers, sipping tea and having one-way conversations with the cutest chihuahua ever. Probably the best part of the week, other than getting a lot of work done (I am now approaching 10,000 words on the chapter I’m writing), were our porno brainstorming sessions. The truly awesomest thing about laughing our asses off and coming up with ridiculous ideas for movies is that, actually, this shit could feasibly happen - and this feasibility only serves to make it that much funnier.
Its weird, but lately i’ve been getting kind of obsessed with normalcy - well, normalcy on my terms at least. Normalcy like hanging out with Bella in pajamas, or attending the weddings of my $preadsters that make me a little misty eyed, or having what my gentleman friend likes to call “dream dates.” For a long time, I think I’ve been striving so hard to carve out a different existence, one that challenges the fabric of society in a radical way, that sometimes I don’t really pay attention to what I want. And maybe what I want isn’t so radical after all - I want to share my life with good people who love me and make me laugh, I want to have a comfortable life with a little bit of bling, I want to someday own an apartment, and have health insurance and make enough money that I’m not considered poor by the state of New York. And I want to do it my way, which means a non-traditional relationship structure, an office stacked high with porno and sex toys (research, man!), and a bunch of other little things that mean the world to me. But somehow, that’s starting to seem less crazy and less radical, and more obvious and… easy? Really? Maybe that’s a stretch. But its something almost close to that.

Not sure the Jersey suburbs are exactly what you have in mind, but just wanted to check in let you know that the thought’s not crazy at all!

I’m with you on wanting to make stuff happen my own way. I’m getting to the point where it seems like it’s not completely impossible - but still, somehow, it remains just out of reach. It’s really frustrating. If you come upon any secrets, let me know!

it was LOVELY having you here. Olive misses auntie dacia already, and maybe next time you come we can do something fun filled an action packed, which will maybe amount to washing our faces and putting real clothes on sometime before 4 in the afternoon.

I guess I’ll have to get by on your video.

If any of those movies happen, just remember the little people. ;)
