So, I definitely want to follow up on the morality comments I got, from my two faithful readers. Guys, is it silly that we have one more way to communicate between us(and apparently mostly exclusively so), or is it nice? I think maybe it's nice. And I don't have time to say much else right now, so the rest will have to wait...
But I'm wearing excessively colorful clothing today in really loud patterns, and I was thinking about how one minute this makes me more confident, and the next I feel like everyone is criticizing my appearance. Which brings us back to the questions of standing out and fitting in that I also think are at the heart of the morality thing. But I've gotta go, so two parting thoughts:
1. I am a riot of summer color today.
2. The Talented Mr. Ripley still completely captivates me.
Perhaps my thoughts about mundane events will be like wearing a red sequin gown to a construction job... rather dramatically out of context, but there's something dazzling about red shining in all that mud and dust. Probably not, but I suggest you stay tuned just in case.

I think it's nice, it gives me something to do when work is slow. And yay for riots of color! That should be my motto. A riot of color. Kinda along the lines of "his name is John," or whatever that was... ;)
I think it's nice too, especially given our lack of online chatting time. And...it's different. It's more reflective, in a certain way, but it doesn't have the requirements to fill people in on the details of one's doings like a letter does. Though mine does that to a certain extent; you just happen to be a better storyteller than I am, and better able to focus on a thought and expound upon it.
