So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.

An Adventure Through the Computer
Saturday. 6.7.08 9:41 pm
I was going through some of my old files on my computer and I ran across some old drafts of letters that I wrote to some old high school friends during difficult times. I'd almost forgotten about several iterations of difficulties that we'd all had.

Craziness.

I also found this paragraph that I wrote during perhaps ?sophomore year in college? and then saved in a word file:

Hi Ranor.
:) I just wanted to tell how much I appreciate you being my friend. :)
I like seeing you on the street and skating up to hug you. I like it that you are always there if I feel sad. I like it when you're there when I feel happy to dance with joy with me. I like your messenger bag and your fuck-me shoes and your orchid and the way you like to shop for housewares even though it makes you feel unmanly. I like the way that cute boys make you all giggly inside and the way you look when you're drunk with those big brown sad eyes. I like your eyebrow piercing and how you know obscure bands. I like how you work hard at O-chem because it's important to you. I like the way you take pictures of people in order to capture important background eye-candy. You are the most fun person I have ever met. I like your clothes and the smell of your pillow. I like it how your face is smooth and expressive.

Love, Me

Don't remember if I actually ever sent that to Ranor.

Well here it is, a mere 4 years later.

And to end, an unrelated bit of a poem by Coleridge, which I also found in my adventures into old files:

In Nature there is nothing melancholy.
But some night-wandering man whose heart was pierced
With remembrance of a grievous wrong,
Or slow distemper, or neglected love,
(And so, poor wretch! Filled all things with himself,
And made all gentle sounds tell back the tale
Of his own sorrow) he, and such as he,
First named these notes a melancholy strain.

1 Comments.


You never sent it.
But I still love you anyway.

BTW: my face, as of late, has been less smooth but no less expressive. This is not because I have all of a sudden experienced a break-out of post-adolescent acne all over my face, but rather because lately I have been too busy (or is it lazy?) to follow a structured shaving regimen.

Oh, unrelated: I am writing up a physics lab report right now and guess what experiment it's for. Yeah: THIN LENSES. Guess whose theory section won't require TOO much work (just a tiny bit of tweaking)? Mmm hmm. That would be mine.
