The sales are roaring. Maybe, just maybe, they'll leave it up year-round like some people do.

I mean it's stupidly crazy. It's not even cute or 'dorable. It's too busy for one to land on anything pleasing. And all the senses being attacked at once.<br /><br />Thank you for cheering for me, Kass - my writing, etc. I needed a little Girlfriend Giveaway and that made me feel nice. I just Google for images. No matter how odd the point I'm trying to illustrate, it seems someone somewhere has photographed it and posted it online.<br /><br />Poor Fritz! Even though this world seems really rocky sometimes, I don't want to leave it yet.<br /><br />Me, too, re: taking on some demons. I'm not ending this year the way I ended last.

I delude myself that I'm organizing Christmas decorations before I pack them up and store them away. I thought you might enjoy this little tidbit. This picture that I pretend is me on "Shooting..." is actually a girl named Lee that I met at Grand Canyon and whose name I used as the person I was staying with when I ran away in 1967 to New York City. I started telling you about it in an email. Perhaps I'll do a post some day. As you'll recall, I was actually living with 2 gay men in Brooklyn. One of the most interesting times of my life. Lee looks interesting, doesn't she? I was walking down the hall in the dorm with my camera (I guess it started way back then) and shot this picture of her after she had just washed her hair. I had never had any interaction with her and never did after the picture-taking either. She actually WAS from New York. As I recall, she was mean and didn't make many friend at the North Rim.Celluloid Stalkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10155381045717474827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7195616894993495285.post-86941630059837137452009-12-31T18:43:21.681-08:002009-12-31T18:43:21.681-08:00I gasped at the picture when I scrolled to it, the...I gasped at the picture when I scrolled to it, then I clicked and enlarged it. What can I say that the both of you haven't said? Excessive doesn't begin to cover it, but I'm glad it was documented in print and photo. This man's electromania has to be on some national registry. <br /><br />The images you find are perfect. The sicksaver, the spring, Martin, 'excessive.' Are these clip art? Does it take you long to find them? I'm still in awe about how prolific you are. You write often and much and it's all so readable.<br /><br />"...this would pull people as surely as the star led the shepherds to Bethlehem." - one of my favorite lines.<br /><br />Here it is, New Year's Eve and I'm sitting happily at my computer. I know Greg will never find his way here so I can say that I decided being alone on this auspicious night was a happier thing than spending time with him. One of his cats died on Christmas night and we grieved together, but I'm afraid that's all the tenderness I can muster up for him. I added a <a href="http://www.gregariousgorman.blogspot.com/2009/12/rip-fritz-december-25-2009.html" rel="nofollow">R.I.P. tribute to Fritz</a> on his blog.<br />I'm going to face some demons this next year - little limp soggy ones and big fat fuming firey ones. Wish me luck - I certainly hope for your happiness in the twenty-ten.Kasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05233330248952156754noreply@blogger.com
