The moon landings weren't fake, they really took place in my backyard sandbox.

I talked with [livejournal.com profile] hoodedvoodoo for an hour and a half before his cellphone battery died. It was good to reconnect and share our mutual experiences of high weirdness. Writing, zombies, astrology, fru-fru new agers, orgone accumulators, cults, aliens, existentialism, and our wacky dreams were some of our varied topics.

He's an amalgamist. I suppose I am as well. A cosmologicaly amalgamistic mystagogue.

It's been said before, but seriously, this time, I am on the last edit, which is mostly just a quick proofread, of Complex Psyche. After this, we just have to prep a few sample chapters for submission to our first five publishers.

Jacquelyn's been getting quite a bit of work done at school. I feel bad for distracting her when I'm around. I have to learn to be more invisible. I think it will be better once we live together; then we won't have that I-need-to-spend-every-free-moment-together feeling we get.

Aleister Crowley was born Edward Alexander Crowley. He once read that the most famous names, the ones that stick in one's memory, are constructed of a dactyl, a three-syllable verse foot in which only the first syllable is stressed, followed by a spondee, a two-syllable verse foot in which both syllables are stressed. Aleister is Gaelic for Alexander, so he changed his name to Al·eis·ter Crow·ley.

My name is Jer·em·y Par·ker.

Damn it! I need to change my last name! "Gill" is just one word...

Hm...who could I marry that has a spondee for a last name?!

Hah!

"HIL-a-ry CLIN-TON."

vs.

"BILL CLIN-TON"

or

"WILL-iam CLIN-TON."

...and I hope we never lose that feeling. :) But I can't wait until May, either.

Ok, then I at least hope we aren't obsessed with that feeling to the point we don't get things done :)

Ditto. :) But I'm always glad to see you and hear your voice, no matter how busy I am. Heh, especially when I'm busy. ;)

Ah, good :) I'll try to not feel so bad then ;)
