where's cim?

i guess i talked vaguely about it but i didn't actually do a temporary dear-john post. i'm staying with my dad's youngest sister in lubbock, texas. i will be here until dec 15 (which includes my 21st birthday oddly enough--they offered to take me out, or buy me beer or wine, but i couldn't really think of any alcohol i REALLY wanted so i said no, and i think i'm going to have fresh fruit pie and store-bought sushi for the Big Day, and silently toast the universe for keeping my mother away).

my cousin perrin is the most adorable two-year-old evah. he looks like a cherub, he waddles around, he repeats things that you say all the time, he confuses 'i' and 'you' and all variants thereof, and he's... did i say really cute? um. he. is good. i've never met such a GOOD kid. without being, i should say, especially quiet or tractable, but he's very intelligent and reasonable and when you explain to him why you don't want him to do something he stops pretty much immediately, which i think is unusual for a two-year-old.

jenny invited me to stay here indefinitely if i want to--she said i can bring perry, and i don't have to pay rent if i help around the house, and you wouldn't believe it, but i actually do feel better not eating cooked food (which is what they do. although the rationale for not cooking food that they have is the most flimsy piece of bogus science i've ever encountered if you don't count the ones christians come up with in misguided attempts to defend their faith). she even said wax_jism could visit here and she'd love to meet her. it's so... calm and cleansing here; even inside the house it feels like a long nature walk. i'm deeply enjoying getting to know jenny better. i'm so glad that i decided to visit.

i'm sorry it's hard for you. and i've been missing you too. but there's really nothing i can do to comfort you, is there? ::pet::

I'm just happy that you're having a good time, thats a comfort. But I'm still going to miss you, you cant stop me.

Calm and cleansing! Oh no! You're falling for the self-help meditation gig! ;)

No, no, it's good. Calm and cleansing is what we want. Enjoy it while ye can. I think some uncooked food would probably be good for me too at this point. I'm dreading Christmas and the heaps and mountains of food.

i keep craving salad and plain bread.

the only thing i crave that i don't eat is garlic because i don't like it by itself, and i don't have cooking ingredients.

i am storing up calmness to make me serene in the face of mom's weirdness and noisiness.

well, i also from time to time crave a chat with you. and you didn't answer my last phone email thingy!

That sounds really great. I'm glad it's something good that's been keeping you offline.

hee, yes. as opposed to being locked in a dungeon by my mother on slim rations of chocolate, almond paté, and stale crackers.

ahh! you know rawfoodists?
that's really cool.
i was one for a bit, i'm hoping to pick it up again in march.
flimsy science or not it just makes sense to me somehow.

anyways, glad you're enjoying yourself.

it's possible living enzymes are good for you, but if they are it's not because your body can use them as they are. every protein you consume is digested and broken down into amino acids, which are used to construct new proteins. de-natured enzymes are perfectly useful for that.
