3WW-fragile, rampant, tremor

October 27, 2010 By pia

Thanks Thom for the words. Difficult as they are!

The tremor in my voice is palpable as I try explaining how fearful I am.  My fear isn’t minute but rampant, stretching across my world  like a Christo presentation.

Oh you believe in the law of attraction, thinking positive thoughts, banishing negativity and everything toxic?  So did I my friend, so did I.

But I’m no longer 40 and not even Wal Mart would hire me.  Well maybe they would but as soon as they see how horribly I scan they will fire me.

I’m not fragile.  Unlike fine crystal I don’t shatter easily.  Oh that’s a contradiction? NO. It’s. NOT.

Welcome to my world of fun house mirrors, and rampant intelligence mixed with almost rampant stupidity.  Can’t be?  You think.  Just TRY HARDER!!!!!!!!!!!  So you say but the more I try the more fragile I become.  It’s no wonder that I have an almost permanent tremor when I move my hands.

Happy Halloween!!!!!!! I will be in DC.  Yes I will be.  I asked my friend to get Sarah Palin,  Bristol and Christine O’Donnell masks if she can find them.   She wants to bring something much sicker.  I’ll take pictures if we get them!!!!!!

No I won’t take pictures as I managed to break the camera Cannon sent to me to replace the one I broke, and I broke the spare camera.  But hey NLD’s nothing serious.  Just can’t do things most people take for granted. And have to constantly explain myself to new people I meet and people who have forgotten.  Yes I will be taking pictures as a man in Wal Mart fixed it.  I use Wal Mart as my local repair shop when Eldon isn’t around.  Fortunately Eldon considers me to be amazing–aside from my politics–and therefore will basically do anything for me.  But when you’re as independent as I like to think I am it’s difficult relying on the kindness of strangers and friends.

    Have a wonderful halloween. Once again, I find myself down south (Costa Rica this time) for halloween. Last time, in Honduras, I went to the mass for the dead even though I’m not Catholic.

    people who have forgotten.

    Thanks for the shout out 🙂

    I hate knowing you’re struggling, my friend.

    Have fun in DC — but not too much. Just a good normal, sane amount. And if you should meet Stewart or Colbert, could you slip them my blog address? But don’t tell me if you do, because then I’d feel too much pressure to ever post. As if…

    Sage–I always go to masses for the dead when in Latin America. Not that I’ve been there in many years

    Bone–thanks for making me laugh out loud as you so often do. We’re planning on having a sane normal amount of fun
    I always care IROOBTY cards so I can slip them to Seinfeld if I run into him at the Beresford where I rejected an apartment just before he applied, and others including Stewart and Colbert–though I’m not sure you would want Colbert–he’s having a rally for anger remember 🙂

    I will be at a conference for work in NYC believe it or not for one day, Friday, and am flying back Saturday morning. I hope to make it there.

    Hey, have fun. I really liked this sentence: “My fear isn’t minute but rampant, stretching across my world like a Christo presentation.”

About Me

I live in the South, not South Florida, a few blocks from the ocean, and two blocks from the main street. It's called Main Street. Amazes me too.

I'm from New York. I mostly lived in the Mid-Upper East Side, and the heart of the Upper West Side. It amazes me when people talk about how scared they were of Times Square in the 1970's and 1980's.

As my mother said: "know the streets, look out and you'll be fine."

What was scary was the invasion of the crack dens into "good buildings in good 'hoods." And the greedy landlords who did everything they could to get good tenants out of buildings.

I'm a Long Island girl, and proud of it now.
Then I hated everything about the suburbs. Yet somehow I lived in a few great Long Island Sound towns after high school.
