Perfect.
My heart could burst -- a surprise from my soul sister -- you can't make old friends.

Jason and I have known each other since we were 18/19.
We closed down bars together, and eventually he opened one.
We are the people of DC. We ain't got no box to be put in.
We watched Annie Hall together on the national mall. We've had conversations about the literal sound of farting in yoga versus the not-flatulance-fart noise. I didn't know he was here... But I was not dead shocked to cross paths.
You can't make old friends.

Easy come, easy go. Surf & Sand? In my Heart & Hand. Don't leave until you've left.

I'm excited to hold hands. To put on a sharp suit. To wear glitter. Probably not together, but I'm not here to set limits.
Oh, just 16 years ago.
Best Podcasts of the last bit: Christopher Sommer on the Tim Ferriss Show; Adam Conover on What's The Tee with Rupaul and Michele Visage; Rupaul on Anna Farris.
I'd love to tell you how often I've been told I'm too fat. The number has a Wilde impossibility to it, so much so that you will know it is true.
When I weighed 100 lbs more, it was less shocking than it is now. And yet: less surprising. Maybe it's age.
I get a thrill of subversive go-fuck-yourself now. I see it more starkly, as I get my intellect-genetic-earth based rhythms.
Madonna, Lady Gaga and Britney Spears stay with me in my heart because of the lashes and the backlashes they create through the medium of Pop. Especially Madonna. Gaga's conversationally specific now, though.
I just want it to stop, and know it won't. We have to find our own rhythms, our own balances. That's each and everyone of our own work... But in the interim:
Im gonna hope that you wear colors if you like them and short-shorts if you want them. And, maybe suggest you get rollerskates, too. But that last one is just me.

On my last full day, I finally did it.
Do you have something that scares you? 4 years ago, my teacher started me on this sequence.
I've resisted. I was scared... it was too hard by myself. I had other things to work on.
When I confessed I hadn't been working on them so much, my teacher just laughed... And helped me get back to work. The same little program as before, fleshed out again.
Sometimes we need someone to hold our hand; sometimes, our feet to the fire. Often: both.
I'm really tickled.

I think I have a book in me.
Literally thousands of people.
Yes!!
Ru's suit game is my life-spiration.
Also: I'm the only American and they are playing video Gaga on repeat.
I have spent the last four hours picking jewelry and malas hand made in Tibet. They are Quartz and yak bone. If you want one, they are $25. Please tell me.
Lady Gagasana: when your snacks somehow ended up on the roof. Where are my keys/ I lost my phone.
Gagasana: When you know there's no practice in the am and suddenly you've lost your keys and your phone. What's the name of this club? Just dance.
Rounding out the shwag I'm coming home with at the Mapusa Market.
Earrings, and Oils, and Malas... Oh my!
