"i felt you in my life before i ever thought to"

sometimes all we need is a friend. or.. two. the person i am most honest and open with and completely adore lives on the other side of the world, has her own agenda, her own issues, problems, etc. no time to deal with the things i've got going on. which is completely understandable. take care of yourself before others and make sure you're okay. there's nothing wrong with that at all. the only downside is that i don't know what else to do with myself. when the person i vent to is too busy, mentally or figuratively, where do i go? i made a friend recently. cool girl. we share a great appreciation for music, film, etc. She's like.. the American Jess only not really because well.. Jess is Jess and there's no getting around that. No one will ever replace Jess, that's just not possible whatsoever. i've told jess things that i will never ever in my life say to anyone else again, because i honestly just don't trust others anywhere near as much as i trust her. But i must say it is kinda nice to be able to talk to someone about the things that are on my mind without having to be on a computer... not that i mind, i do love the conversations i have with Jess. They're amongst the best i've ever had. Anyway, i like bumming smokes and just having things in common with someone other than the person i adore most who i will, unfortunately, never meet.. even though if we did by some miracle meet, boy would i be able to die completely and utterly happy. no joke. for now though, i guess one can only hope.

Jigsaw Youth.

So after putting my zine ideas on hold for months and months... and months, i have finally decided to make part three. Unfortunately i have lost pretty much ALL of what i started with. The layout and what have you. I do believe Jess has a "reprint" of the original, but i don't really remember. Will have to ask her about that. Anyway, since my zine writing skills are a tad rusty, i will take me a couple of days to come up with something to write about. One thing that will be in there for sure is my album review of sorts for Tegan and Sara's Sainthood. Nothing huge or anything, considering it's a mini 8 page zine. [That includes the front and back covers and "mini" meaning you can fit it in your hand] If you've got an "feminist" artwork lying around, feel free to send it my way, or a short story, or anything really, as long I can fit it onto a page that's roughly 4 inches in height and 3 inches in width. I will try to incorporate it in if you want. Will give you credit, no worries. For now i must brainstorm.
