  <title>silence like a cancer grows</title>
  <link>http://pandirectional.livejournal.com/2122.html</link>
  <description>fools said I you do not know, silence like a cancer grows...&lt;br /&gt;hear my words that I might teach you...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;but the words.  like silent raindrops fell.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I kind of feel like that right now; like everything falls onto silence.  No one cares about gestalt (the whole is greater than the sum of its parts), and it seems like they don&apos;t even have that concept in their mindspace...  so computers start out okay, but when something is wrong, they add a feature, rather than fixing it.  And people wonder why their brand new shiny computers don&apos;t run well.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Art and science must be combined.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;you want things to be beautiful.&lt;br /&gt;open your eyes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3.14159&lt;br /&gt;1 1 2 3 5 8 13&lt;br /&gt;E = mc^2&lt;br /&gt;basic numbers even.  the fact that there /are/ rules of nature.</description>

  <description>Here I am, listening to You Told Me, by Crawford (www.myspace.com/secrawford) and thinking about connections and strangenesses and beauty and wonder.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;People tend to view me as a tramp.  I find this a little strange, but maybe by their definition I am.  Comment on this, tell me what you think.  email me at pandirectional@gmail.com if you don&apos;t feel comfortable commenting it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Important people seem to all be so far away, or heading that way.  Drew&apos;s moving to Florida for his brother, Sara&apos;s been busy with other things and people for so long that I&apos;m not sure she&apos;s still here, Joe&apos;s in California and without contact for over a year...  maybe I should just save some money and move to Oregon or Washington.  Find a place that I can drag Drew and his brother along so that it&apos;ll be Good.  Portland, Seattle, Everett.  Evergreen would be shiny as well.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I still can&apos;t stand the emotional tornado of talking to Ashley.  I feel like I&apos;m spinning downward into oblivion or something else terrible, even when it&apos;s Drew on the phone with her and not me.  I don&apos;t even know why for sure, cause I Know at very deep levels that she was terrible for me.  I was unhappy and felt chained and was looking away from Life.  Maybe it&apos;s just the talking to her.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I don&apos;t know.  I still miss her sometimes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt; You told me not to go&lt;br /&gt;said you needed me here, you were in pain&lt;br /&gt;I said &quot;yes fine, I love you&quot;&lt;br /&gt;but after two months I felt my wings burning.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You told me to stay on the phone&lt;br /&gt;said that I was helping&lt;br /&gt;I said &quot;if you say so&quot; for I didn&apos;t see it&lt;br /&gt;after two months you were still just as broken.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You told me I was not in your shell&lt;br /&gt;then you went back to say it I was&lt;br /&gt;just not as deep&lt;br /&gt;but I heard the truth the first time, so now I&apos;m leaving.  I need my wings back.&lt;/i&gt;</description>

  <title>stereo and music.</title>
  <link>http://pandirectional.livejournal.com/871.html</link>
  <description>The Story didn&apos;t go too well, because I don&apos;t think that enough people understood why it was important to me.  It almost seemed like a few actually thought that bringing Bradbury as a story that is part of my beliefs was inapropriate.  Whatever.&lt;br /&gt;   I love having a stereo.  I loove having a van.  &lt;span class=&apos;ljuser ljuser-name_theindiequeen&apos; lj:user=&apos;theindiequeen&apos; style=&apos;white-space: nowrap;&apos;&gt;&lt;a href=&apos;http://theindiequeen.livejournal.com/profile&apos;&gt;&lt;img src=&apos;http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif&apos; alt=&apos;[info]&apos; width=&apos;17&apos; height=&apos;17&apos; style=&apos;vertical-align: bottom; border: 0; padding-right: 1px;&apos; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href=&apos;http://theindiequeen.livejournal.com/&apos;&gt;&lt;b&gt;theindiequeen&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; sat in the back of my van playing guitar for some hours last night, while I drove around.  It was incredible.  Everyone should have someone play guitar in the back of their van (or whatever) for hours.  &lt;br /&gt;   I&apos;m going to be going to a party tonight in work clothes.  On the one hand, meh, but on the other, it&apos;s all good people.  Ie, people that I already know and am comfortable with.&lt;br /&gt;   Much love all around.  See ya&apos;ll there.</description>

  <title>new stereo... I hope.</title>
  <link>http://pandirectional.livejournal.com/575.html</link>
  <description>My dad confuzzles me.  He lectures me for over an hour about spending too much money, then the next day, buys me a new car stereo (the old one broke).  What gives?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However.  This means I have a new stereo!  yay!  I can finally listen to the mound of CD&apos;s that &lt;span class=&apos;ljuser ljuser-name_theindiequeen&apos; lj:user=&apos;theindiequeen&apos; style=&apos;white-space: nowrap;&apos;&gt;&lt;a href=&apos;http://theindiequeen.livejournal.com/profile&apos;&gt;&lt;img src=&apos;http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif&apos; alt=&apos;[info]&apos; width=&apos;17&apos; height=&apos;17&apos; style=&apos;vertical-align: bottom; border: 0; padding-right: 1px;&apos; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href=&apos;http://theindiequeen.livejournal.com/&apos;&gt;&lt;b&gt;theindiequeen&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; gave to me.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tonight, I am Telling a Story to &lt;span class=&apos;ljuser ljuser-name_tc_borderpagans&apos; lj:user=&apos;tc_borderpagans&apos; style=&apos;white-space: nowrap;&apos;&gt;&lt;a href=&apos;http://community.livejournal.com/tc_borderpagans/profile&apos;&gt;&lt;img src=&apos;http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/community.gif&apos; alt=&apos;[info]&apos; width=&apos;16&apos; height=&apos;16&apos; style=&apos;vertical-align: bottom; border: 0; padding-right: 1px;&apos; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href=&apos;http://community.livejournal.com/tc_borderpagans/&apos;&gt;&lt;b&gt;tc_borderpagans&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; as a whole.  this makes me extremely apprehensive, though excited at the same time.  I think I am going to wear a business suit and tie, but I haven&apos;t decided for sure yet.  I&apos;m trying to show that I can, in fact, dress up and look clean, but it might come off as pretentious.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Last night, I made a list of things I love.  I challenge you all to do the same.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Writers- post to my last challenge!!  please?</description>
