okay okay i know i've blogged a lot today; this is the last one, i promise.

three things happened late-ish that each individually Made my Day.
1) khadijah and i held a private audition for one of her friends. the auditionee was very nervous; i don't think she's acted much before and it's scary material. she didn't quite understand the monologue so we kept trying to explain it to her in different ways, trying to get her to loosen up and deliver the speech more naturally. finally she got it -- and she started to cry. simultaneously, khadijah and i jumped up asking "are you okay?" "yeah," she said. "it's just i thought this was about a girl telling a story. i didn't realize it was about her being hurt by her friends"
she was affected, seriously affected. and it was just an audition. wow.

2) meeting of The Brink, SuWu's literary brain child. suzanne was nice to me and she's just the kind of person that, if she's nice to you, it translates as a beneficient: "yes, you are worthwhile. now go and do good." i was inspired, man.

3) got an email from a girl in my SCLP group. she mentioned that she found my poetry and read thru some while procrastinating. "gratitude" she said made her cry. christ, i said. i will love you forever.

becca's back from florida. the barn, reunited. slight discords overlooked. my own personal melodrama re: having too little drama receded. khadijah and i working well, thinking alike. (course, she also mentioned that she found and read this so khadijah, if you want to say a few words yourself here on that subject or any other, leave a thought).
g'nite folkles. i'm too fucking lucky. i don't deserve it, man. someday ...
