I am Metatextual
Here are my phone’s stored text messages. They reach back a year or so. Think of this as an exercise in connection: sender to receiver, writer to reader, phone to phone, computer to computer, snark to snark, life to life. Then think of "Howard's End" to understand the only motto I've ever lived by. Throw in an olive, and imbibe.
Texts to me:
Me too. I think that is pretty much the only thing that is keeping me from falling asleep right now.
Wishing you were awake….
Absolutely! Let’s do it again soon.
Effing guys in bands. That’s original.
R u making out with [redacted]? Dirty.
Waiting for RAF flight back to Baghdad. Delayed bcz sun drove cabin temp to 75 C

Hey girl reporter, luscious girl reporter.

Leaving my friend
My texts:
Can I buy you a drink at bar [redacted]? Here with a friend. I just saw Jupiter’s moons.
You know you don’t need money to see me. Last I heard, I’m low-cost. Which is different from low-rent.
Your father is a genius
Apparently everyone thought we left to make out. I told them we totally were. See you Sunday.
We are today. At a private art collection in the country.

My computer is still freaking. [redacted], what’s the answer? In life, not computers.

>the answer?
Reboot. Yourself, not the computer. Well, the computer, too. And upgrade to OS X.
but where's the switch?
It's already flipped. It's just a matter of waking up (or turning yourself on). There are of course a number of ways to interpret that...
not reboot .... reinstall ;it requires more than a switch.
but anyway , throwing things away,one by one or in bulk is good ;it's a begining
Actually, it doesn't require anything at all. Literally: it requires nothing...
since when are all you people a bunch of nihilists? actually, it cracks me up when MotN and Mitsu get going. you guys are so different in your philosophies of life, yet both so interesting. so, what i glean here is, throw my shit out the window. or don't. um, stare at walls. or not. relax. or shake things up. hm. i think i'll go back to drinking. vex, where are you when i need you?
