Thursday, April 30, 2009. Beauty Exists Only In Struggle" or "3 Voicemail Boxes, 2 Bright Pants, and 1 Pair of Heart-Shaped Sunglasses". OH DEAR. GOD. I am, officially, 9 days away from graduating college. I am 9 days away from the following signs of grown-up-titude:. My own health insurance. A land-line home phone. A work phone number. Operating a fax machine. Business cards with the word "administrator" on them. Alcohol intended to last more than one evening. WHAT THE FUCK IS HAPPENING? If you had told...

genny the brave: "Your Love Will Be Safe With Me" or "I Love You For Your Little, Startled, Thoughtless Ways"
http://gennythebrave.blogspot.com/2009/05/your-love-will-be-safe-with-me-or-i.html
Friday, May 15, 2009. Your Love Will Be Safe With Me" or "I Love You For Your Little, Startled, Thoughtless Ways". I think this is one of those grown-up lessons. And as far as my habits with boys, well, we all know that I've been learning those lessons for years now. But it's always been all about me, right? These seem like easy lessons, obvious even, but if there's anything that I've been wrong about for the longest time, it's love and relationships. There is reason in everything.

Wednesday, October 29, 2008. Working For The Clampdown" or "Your Heavy Kisses Don't Know My Worries". Once again, things are coming apart at the seams. Why do you bother reading here anymore? We know what it will say: "I'm overhwelmed blah blah blah boys blah blah schoolwork is too much blah blah my own fault blah blah tears blah blah boys again blah blah to- do list.". Well, I suppose today is to-do list day. Get advised, even though you're already a day behind. Physical therapy appointment at 3:30.

Tuesday, September 30, 2008. Miracles" or "Brought Into Breathing". I think that this year is the year that God said, "Genevieve, your priorities have gone wonky. You need to wake up." Then he woke me up. It was a painful rousing, like a child emerging from the womb terrified and crying and being slapped into breath, but I looked around and saw a completely different world. It was like I'd been blind for the last 20 years. Before this year, my priorities consisted of:. 7 Taking care of each other. When d...

Thursday, February 26, 2009. Whatever The Mess You Are, You're Mine, Ok" or "It's Not Easy To Be Human". I have so many things to update about, and yet all that's on my mind is that if my back upper back were also a man, I have clearly slept with his wife and killed his dog. That I've got to keep afloat with nothing but pretty ribbon and what is likely coat-hanger wire. Seems I may have developed some back problems. I am, by all accounts, a muddled-up mass of injury at this point. Like He Was The Hat And...

Monday, January 26, 2009. I Would Be In Love Anyway" or "You Gotta Love Livin' Baby, Cause Dyin' Is A Pain In The Ass". Frankie wrote this song for me. He and I, see, we're kindred spirits, and he knew it back then. He knew there would be a girl like me, who needed somebody to croon into her ear something that put her complicated, convoluted, fickle and difficult feelings into such simple little words that it would make her smile. This song is my life story, and Frankie wrote it just for me. And somewher...

genny the brave: "Will You Still Need Me, Will You Still Feed Me, When I'm Sixty-Four?" or "The New Top Five"
http://gennythebrave.blogspot.com/2009/04/will-you-still-need-me-will-you-still.html
Sunday, April 5, 2009. Will You Still Need Me, Will You Still Feed Me, When I'm Sixty-Four? Or "The New Top Five". 1 So, my hair is brown. I'm not entirely ok with it just yet, but I'll get there I guess. I feel sort of ordinary all of a sudden, and kids don't smile at me like they used to, and there are people who don't talk to me so easily. But last night my friend Daniel said to me, "What about all the people who didn't. Talk to you because of the hair? I suppose that's good advice. 4 In my personal/e...

Tuesday, August 26, 2008. This Is The year" or "I Never Understood A Single Word He Said, But I Helped Him Drink His Wine". Yesterday = Best Day of my Life. Let's continue. If you would like to move to the best part, please direct your attention to VI. II I painted palm trees and monkeys at church. V Went to a free wine tasting at 8, and although we were late and had quite the road trip getting there [we picked up Alonso on the way, my spiritual journey kindred], we met some very fascinating people and h...

Tuesday, December 30, 2008. The View I Woke Up To This Morning". Monday, December 29, 2008. No One Thought We'd Survive This" or "I Haven't Felt This Whole In Years". The sun is just barely considering dropping behind the bright tin roof across the street. This whole room is bright gold and there's laughing leaking from the kitchen. I'm sinking into this overstuffed chaise lounge and I can hear the ocean outside this open window while the breeze crawls in like a child sneaking in after curfew. Who knows&...
