How can I fill this in without feeling narcissistic?! I drink at least 60 oz of coffee a day and maybe 8 oz of water a week. If I pick up a book, I read 300 pages without stopping. If I pick up a guitar, I play until my fingers hurt. If I'm alone while listening to good music or watching a war movie, I cry. If I laugh too much, my cheeks hurt. I'm so ticklish, I fall down and jerk spamodically as if hit with a stungun. I pick bell peppers out of my food because I don't want to bother the cook to change the recipe. I'll spend my last $7 on a used CD or buying a friend a coffee or burger to share. It's hard to see small children because I wonder what mine would look like. To me, being Catholic doesn't mean not doing anything wrong, just being sufficiently guilty for it. I don't want someone just to pass the time, I want to find a partner to grow old with. I treat women like I would want my mother or sister treated. I don't like being a redhead, but I'm resigned to it as if I was a midget or albino. I talk to cats and dogs and believe they understand me. The more I learn, the less I want to talk about what I know. I'm stronger than I look, but more senstive than I let on. I can't help smiling when I drive in a convertible with the top down. I love to study every aspect of a movie, then rehash it with someone afterwards. I love ice cream, even though it makes my teeth hurt. I cook a lot and make everything spicy, like jalepenos in the mashed potatos. I often know enough to get into trouble, and not enough to get me out. I like to jump on stage to sing and play blues guitar, get bit parts in plays, movies, and television. I study foreign languages just so I can hold a conversation with more people in the world. i got my pilots license yet I still jumped out of a perfectly good airplane.
My silent partner. There are no uncomfortable silences. We know. We cannot stifle a smile at the sight of each other. More is known by being together. By just BEING. Not explaining. We are humbled by each other. If all that can be taken away IS, you love what is left. Because you know I would do the same. I am selfish because I want to meet you. smell you. feel you. taste you. know you. I am selfish because I want you to meet me. smell me. feel me. taste me. know me. I am selfish because I want what you want.I cannot eat once and for all. I cannot gorge myself on the pleasure of cuisine and be done with it forever. Eventually, the hunger returns. Right now, my thoughts, my desires, my fantasies are the sights and smells of the feast. How long can I wait until I can devour you? If I did, what good would it do me when the hunger returns later that day. Worse, what if I never find out?I will cook for you.
I will sing for you.
I will live for you.View All Friends | View Blog | Add Comment
