yeah i guess so.

But China is so big! And there are plenty of other places with amazing scenery, so I'll probably visit them when I go back in a few years.. just try many different things once.. that's my way of thinking.

i will take you there ha! we can swim over the pacific ocean!

I had my first dream about you.

I can't reallly remember all of it.

But it went somethign like this.

You and I were talking on the phone very casually, as if we'd already met in real life multiple times in the past, and we were in the same city. It was very urban with pigeons and doves and tall buildings everywhere. And for some reason there were airplanes flying about twenty feet above the tallest building, and the airplane farting/droning noise was exceedingly loud. But nobody seemed to notice the airplanes, everyone was just taking huge strides, making their way across streets/sidewalks/into the stores very quickly. Perhaps it was new york or somewhere. While we were talking you said that we'll meet on the mainfloor in some type of University, and I agreed. And we kept on talking about random things (i forgot what they were) until I arrived at the University, went through the front door, across the cafeteria and met you in some hallway. I saw you, and then you smiled like an eagle that just finished mowing the sky. And we held hands and you led me up a few flights of stairs and we were at i think the third floor or something, and you led me into a chemistry classroom. We walked together, all the way to the end of the classroom, at you pulled two chairs and we sat together in front of large white window-facing desk. And we had some conversation there.. ahhh I can never remember the conversations in dreams.. i can only remember the visuals...

Yeah, but then that dream faded out.

And I found myself in a gym with lots of people. It looked like the small gym at my highschool. And we were all holding a big huge round parachute that covered about half the gym and we were fanning it up and down. Just like that parachute game that my class played in Elementary school PE class. And then I had to use the bathroom. So I left the gym, and outside the gym was a huge swimming pool, so I walked along the side of the swimming pool, all the way to the other end, where there was a bathroom sign. I went in. It was dirty, there were only two toilets at the back, but there were no stalls. It was kind of like the chinese toilets... kind of like this -- [link] -- except the bathroom walls are white, and there's no graffitti in permanent marker about sex. Anyways, behind the two toilets, there was a shower stall. So I went into the showerstall and took a shower I think. And then there were these other girls who came in, and took showers too.

That was it, I think.

Gah... I would so trade that last dream for another one with you.

I haven't had memorable dreams in a while, I think they come in phases.

Though I am glad you are now blessed with them. Dreams are a welcome changes from the general coldnesses and struggles of reality.

"Each morning she awoke with a dream to describe - something lovely that bloomed in her beautiful mind - I said I'll trade you one for two nightmares of mine - I have some where I die, I have some where we all die..."

I've been spinning digital ash for about a week and a half in my car now, and I've listened to it at least 30 times in a row. I know all the lyrics to all of the songs. Yah. I finally took it out today, and put in an Elliott Smith CD.

When he killed himself, he took a knife and lodge it between the door and the wall, then he impaled himself on it by running into it 8 times.

Fun, right?

Which elliott Smith CD did you stick in?

And and... erm, that is not how Elliott killed himself. We don't even know if he actually killed himself or not, but they're almost 100%sure he did... i read in an article that he just had a fight with his girlfriend, and when her girlfriend went into the bathroom and came back out, she found him with two apparently self-inflicted wounds on his chest..and there was a suicide note.. but his name was spelled wrong. But the evidence concerning his death is still.. being investigated.. so they still are not sure.

I listened to from a basement on a hill like 5 times today. It is one of my favorite records now.

Such a wonderful songwriter, with a beautiful voice... :sighs:

When celebrities commit suicide, there is always a group of people who will swear on their death beds that there was a conspiracy around the death.

The best you can do really, is to not listen to any of it, and not get pulled into it. Becuase wishful thinking like that... well its just not healthy.

Elliott could have easily spelled his own name wrong just to throw people off.
And at the same time, the idea that someone wanted to kill Elliott who didn't even know how to spell his name is completely and utterly laughable.
So in the end, the fact taht his name was spelled wrong doesn't really prove anything.

Who knows, some day maybe a killer will be found or come forward. Until then its best to just assume the worst and deal with it.

Justin was the one who told me that Elliott killed himself by running on a blade repeatedly until he died. I'd have to say that really, if I had to trust one of you two, I'd trust justin, because he always gets his facts right, but I'm going to look into it to see which story is correct.

I'm fairly positive they found the knife wedged in the door when he died, which would imply that he wedged it there and ran into it (like brutus did in julius ceasar) That would create stab wounds. Though justin may have just made teh number 8 up, and its very possible that he only did it twice.
That makes sense to me.

Either way, I'll go look into it, and not use wikipedia, because wikipedia has a tendency to lie.


From a Basement on A Hill is the record I've got in my car right now, too.
