Well,
It Works
The
all new quick and dirty is up over at my Geocities location, and please
notice the handy link to it over there to the left. Nevermind that
there is nothing noteworthy there yet, just my fumbling test messages,
which I could have removed, but I didn't, because I like looking like a
goof sometimes.
Do not fear, or change your bookmarks. I still like this journal
better. I like the manner with which it automatically (hah!) archives,
well my system does anyway, and the way each entry has its own page, two
things that blogger cannot do. So I still want that CGI miracle I
mentioned last entry. And I will also continue to do my main writing
over here.
Besides, both blogger and Geocities have Terms of Use policies that could
prolly get me booted, the kinds of things I say.
Somebody told me once about a love so fanatical that I wondered about her
sanity. She knew how extreme this was, it alarmed even her.
The object of her affection knew she loved him, but she didn't think he
knew how much, and she wasn't going to tell him. It might scare him.
Because, you see, she worshipped him. I don't mean that metaphorically.
He couldn't have been holier to her if he were god incarnate. She
delighted so ecstatically in the sound of his voice, and the very thought
of him lit her up like a Chinese lantern. You could tell when she
was just thinking about him. Even his belches and farts were as blessings
to her, not that she moved in to inhale them (gross!) but they gave her
great amusement and even joy. Joy! She thought that the mysteries
of the universe were encoded in his skin. She would have done anything
a human could do, and probably some things a human cannot do, for him,
and yet she did not become his servant, because she knew he neither needed
nor desired her servitude.
She loved him so powerfully that it frightened her. Part of her mind
would see this and jeer or joke or warn or simply take amusement at her
eagerness, yet her heart was unswerved. She was obsessed. She
was secure, but she was devoted, hopelessly devoted. She tried to
store and treasure every minute, against the uncertainties of life and
fate and destiny. He might not be there the next minute. She
tried not to live in dread.
This big love wasn't the inferno of infatuation. It surely sounds
like it, but they had already gone through that stage, and through the
comfortable cooling off. This was something that came after.
Whatever became of her?
I don't know.
