Back For a Short Time
Hello All,
I missed all of you!! My laptop is out of commission and since I no longer work with my former company, I have no daily computer access. :( But I have been frantically trying to catch up with everyone.
I have to say, Will and Maria, I am happier for you than I can say. You have made it through the days, and that in itself is reason for celebration. You must, MUST come to SD SOON.
Shinta, we're here for you. Use that damned phone number I gave you! :p
Sean, I'm so proud of your writing progress. I will be so disciplined myself some day... And Dennis, damn! Keep those words coming! Unfortunately, my novel hasn't come along. But, I did give the boy a chance and it's coming along. :)
As for me, J and I are still seeing each other frequently. We have hit some bumps. Unforunately, they're my bumps as I'm realizing just how much I had been shoving aside and numbing my pain. Now I get to deal with it and it's not always fun. But J is still here, holding me when I need it. Neither of us are making promises, but making it a day at a time. This boy is amazing, lemme tell you. The things he's been through and he still manages to love...
In other news, my feature poet spot fast approaches. Am I ready? Hell, no. But I don't start the new job till the 28th, so I still have some time. Did I ever mention I'm a procrastinator? If anyone would like to come support your local poet, it'll be at 7:30 at Chicano Perk on the 30th. You can find my bio at http://www.chicanoperk.com/events.html. :D
That's all the major points. I hope all is well with everyone. So good to be back, even if only for a moment. I'll keep in touch. Until next time, MUCH MUCH love!

lovely to hear the perkiness in your voice. be well! -fig
There is a word in English that explains what happens when you get an information overload - *Gobsmacked*.
I am sorry Joseph but it was just so funny.
"Excuse me, is your name Joseph?"
"Yes."
"Hi, my name is Will."
We shake hands.
"And that's Maria."
You turn and wave.
And I do believe that you leapt out of your chair when the penny dropped! However, I now know what someone looks like when they are gobsmacked.
It was wonderful to meet you and J. And it was wonderful to hear you read. Thank you.
It was too hilarious, Will! It did take a couple of seconds to click. But once it did... LOL!
Thank y'all so much for coming tp Chicano Perk. I twas wonderful to see you and Maria, the happy couple finally together. :D
Joseph! Wow, it's been so long. I'm happy to hear your poetry is going so well. And thank you for the compliment about my dicipline - it's a process, no matter what. If you're ever online, pop an IM at me, man! Hope things are going well and I'll chat with you later. Take care.
Sean
