I am so glad your name is not Neil. I like Neal much better. I used to wish that was my name when i Was a kid. I always wanted a verb as a name (like genuflect) just so when people used it in a sentence I would not feel so alone.
I feel alone sometimes, especially during this time of year when THIS feeling slowly creeps back up like “shit it’s this time of year again feeling.” i know you understand neal. you always do. you make me want to pick up my computer and blog again… ABOUT EVERYTHING.
right now i am in group therapy AND i am LOVING IT. i don’t feel so alone. i think jake and i were separated at birth or at least we are sequels to the same unassuming, straight to DVD movie. the only difference between me and jake is that he has a clam shell phone and my is touch screen. i do believe i am overpaying and down-playing EVERYTHING. that is major.
i saw juliette lewis on the free directv channel “singing” and i was judging her BIG TIME, but also giving her props for GETTING UP THERE and borrowing brandon flower’s ostrich feather coat. i couldn’t help but notice not a single head bobbing in the audience except for martha plimpton. i don’t want to judge, neal. or do i? i wish YOU would tell me.
tonight i was so mad. just call me gen.
dear neal,
i cannot go to the vandals show because december 4th kicks off my morrissey season. your mom is the coolest. i don’t know her but she’s probably better than mine. my mom just went outside for the first time in 2 weeks. she had a problem with her face. sometimes she’s like, “i’m coming down for lunch. see you in 20.” then i am like waiting for an hour and so i call her and she goes, “there’s too much traffic. maybe thursday.” then i stop holding my breath.
i used to live in pismo when i was in 7th grade. i went to saint patricks in arroyo grande. the pe teacher made us take a shower after every class, which i thought was weird for that age BUT i got to see kevin’s thing–what a giant weiner helmet. i have never. even to this day. i tried to find him on facebook but there are so many kevins.
take care,
k
p.s. i will add this to my blog so i can feel good about blogging again even if it’s just a min facebook letter to neal.
Whoopi told me that she suffers from a common disorder known as Alopecia. It is probably the third most common form of hair loss. Probably. About two in every hundred people will get it at some point in their lives, so you are not safe. It is NOT contagious; you cannot catch Alopecia from someone who has it, even if they throw it to you.
I always wondered what Whoopi would look like with eyebrows (WWLLWE). Like all of my life! And today I just couldn’t take it anymore. I had to know. I found some very cool Photoshop brushes for creating hair effects–eyebrows on Whoopi Goldberg, moustaches, body hair, four days of stubble, etc.

I feel better now.
