2005-06-01 - 11:19 a.m. conversations lala1 maybe the best way to explain where I've been is to provide some of the conversations I've had during my time away from daily entries (I mean, since it does not appear there will be enough to actually create that new diary I mentioned somewhere along the way)... however it turns out, meeting someone new involves introductions and this will also give you yet another opportunity to get to know me, just in case you actually want to know me... and besides, this is a really easy way to fill in some entries so we can maintain the obsessive compulsion to have an entry for every day as if this daily diary would somehow implode or be something less than a daily diary if there was not an entry for every day (even if the dates get a little fudged in order to actually present the appearance of an entry for every day... but we won't get into the metaphilosophical ponderings of the space time continuum and the relativity of it all just now since we had some sort of plan {didn't we?... I mean, I'm not all alone in this mad dash to create the diaryland experience, right?... you write yours, I write mine, we read each other, that's how it's done... so we is the correct pronoun after all... and you thought I might have been going royal on you or something, didntcha?)... anyway, I must have mentioned, or hinted, or somehow suggested that I was actually exploring a social life offline... that's why you've not had consistent daily entries here... since I went through the process of attempting to introduce myself to someone in the real world and I want you all to know me too, you can eavesdrop on our conversations (at least the written parts) in the next few entries here... or perhaps it'll be a series that continues from time to time as the conversations continue (and we hope they will, right?)... perhaps I'll provide background down the line, but for now, let's just jump into the first conversation and see what we find... I have parts of my innards that are rather badly damaged goods and trusting is an amazing experience I seldom seek out any more, but I love the fact that I still seem to be able to do it in spite of the cruelties and betrayals and losses I've known in this life... I would like to, based on a little talk, eye contact, and your willingness to trust/know me based on whatever it is you saw or heard, know and trust you and call you friend... interjecting here for a moment to point out that I will be editing out some of the conversation because it's not fair to expose all of someone else's parts if they don't want to and since I am not sure if she wants me to or not I'll not for now... so this is one of those edits, just in case the rest of this entry seems at all incongruous at this point... seen as a whole, the excerpts from the letters should be an introduction to me from a more personal point of view, or at least a different perspective than purely diary writing... so let's overlook the incongruities if there are any and continue (feel free to let me know what you think about this or that or me, even, cuz you know we love feedback)... ok, so now back to the conversations... one of the saddest parts of life for me is the fact that I did not create kids... I cared for a few for long enough to feel like they were mine and it hurts to know four are somewhere in Toronto kept out of touch with me by their mom... the good news is that one who grew up here in Orlando (and now lives in Chattanooga) and who asked me to give her away at her wedding, still keeps in touch and calls me daddy... especially when she needs something...
