Two or three things I know for sure,

[iridium]

...and one of them is just this:

If you refuse honesty with yourself, there is no way for you to be honest with anyone else. And if you cannot speak truth even with those you love most deeply, with those who depend on your honesty, there is little chance that you will not lie to anyone else.

Been thinking a lot lately about trust and honesty, disclosure and privacy, respect and relationships and sex; been thinking a lot lately about what I value in myself and others, how to articulate and cherish it. I haven't been writing nearly as much as I should be, and that'll change soon.

Current music, since the lineup makes me smile:
"The Truth" -- Handsome Boy Modeling School
"Straight, No Chaser" -- Thelonius Monk

if i can get them written up in some form that i'm good with posting publically (or semi-publically) i'll do that. but it would be great to catch up with you anyway, by email or phone...

pfeh. i still think you're awesome, and we'll catch up before long, via one of the eight billion modes of communication we have at our disposal. because this is the future, you see.

*hug* i hope the move's gone well, and that your new place suits you and is a good home.
