hugs and blessings ~ 2001-01-12 - 06:09:19 I'm so tired I shouldn't be awake, and I definitely shouldn't be sitting in front of the computer, but it seems I have this diary habit, see... and that's pretty cool because being the aquarius girl I am I usually get bored with things or just get distracted by something else and drop whatever it was I was doing. not my diary, though, huh-uh. I'm not sure if it's because it's just such a nifty outlet for the exhibitionist side of my nature or just because it keeps me feeling kinda connected to the world while I'm stranded in this godforsaken place. I had a gig in chicago tonight, which was good. turns out it was accidentally scheduled crosswise with a going-away gig of regie's, so the turnout was pretty small, but it felt pretty good, and I like mad bar. I like to do poetry in warm, dark, bars. ones with candles. shappy was there, and ben ortiz, and marty mcconnell. after the slam we went down to regie's thang and I caught his last few pieces and got a chance to exchange hugs and blessings with him. I dig the hell out of regie. he's getting married in march, and I am in awe of the love he has for his partner. it just radiates from him when he talks about her. it's really beautiful to see. at some point krystal said "you and regie are friends, right?" and I said "yeah," and it hit me again what a fantastic thing this is, that some of the people I admire most in the world are now people I count among my friends, and I am amazed, again, at how many beautiful people there are in my life. when you open up, you never know what might come flooding in.
