coyotegoth1) If I ever do write my memoirs, one chapter will be titled Yonkers: the Wilderness years hours. (Still, I had fun.)
2)In the latest iteration of the Shower Meme,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
queerbychoice gave me five questions:
1. What is your default icon from and why did you choose it to represent you? It's Brak, from the Space Ghost cartoons; it just seemed a good fit, despite not wearing a Stetson :)
2. Who was evening_rush and how did you know him or her? Faye was someone I met on LJ (throughbloodcicle, IRRC); we never met, although I got to speak to her on the phone once; she was an incredibly warm and caring person, as well as having a genius-level intellect. She died of cancer about five and a half years ago.
3. If a monster truck rally were to be goth, what do you suppose it would be like? (This is from my user info, by the way.) Hmm- two people between the wheels of their respective (black) cars; instead of driving, the simply murmur, "You don't understand my pain!" at each other.
4. I figured out that Soren isbaldanders, but how do you know him? We met at the piano bar which I began frequenting about six and a half years ago; he is the beloved of my friend roadnotes.
5. What are the main effects this election cycle has has on you? In "In the Spring of '27," F. Scott Fitzgerald wrote, "...something bright and alien flashed across the sky. A young Minnesotan who seemed to have had nothing to do with his generation did a heroic thing, and for a moment people set down their glasses in country clubs and speakeasies and thought of their old best dreams. Maybe there was a way out by flying, maybe our restless blood could find frontiers in the inimitable air." In a way, that's the part of me that listening to Obama has reawakened: not so much a need to escape, but a memory of optimism, if that makes any sense. At any rate, I feel hopeful about this election, in a way I haven't for quite a while.
