I’m on vacation now…

Don’t think I’ll be on here much; want to do some day trips, head off for an overnight or two, and figure there won’t be much to say, other than this: I need this break more than any in a long, long time.

Have fun, y’all. Hit me via e-mail if you must.

I just wanted to say, before I head off on vacation and disappear from here for a bit (not expecting to check in every day, is all I mean by that), is that for me, the worst part of being mentally ill is not so much what it does to me, but what it has done to those I love — whether it be the vagaries of my moods when I’m not in control, or the fear that I have of the motivations behind my actions when I AM under control.

I second guess every motive, every move; I worry myself and those around me with my constant fears.

I am so sorry this happens, over and over again.

I am born sorry.

RAC Rachel McKibbens lowhumcrush blew the socks off the Providence crowd tonight. She got a standing ovation from the crowd.

I confess it — I’m not a huge fan of the Providence scene. Very young and very much a “slamvoice” scene. Fun night though, with Rachel (and Holdie!) and ocvictor and javabill and cheesy_goodness and badgary and androidlustre and, of course, myainsel.

Whew. That’s a lot of tags.

I’m headed to bed now…the meds are doing me in, which is why I didn’t stay for the slam itself.

The new Zero Point Zero column’s set to be up on gotpoetry in the AM — an exploration of the distance between truth and fact in poetry; a reprint of an older column with some notes added.
