Hey.
I'm late for church but I cannot stop. Been reading the archives.
Dinah, I am obsessed with being odd. Your inquiry was touching. The reply about your being out of the depth of your inspectors made sense, still, in the moment of manifesting oddness, coupled with the awareness of public scrutiny, compounded by an inability to stop being odd, overwhelmed by the lack of acknowledgement that something odd is going on can almost blow your mind.
People call me weird and odd all the time to my face and behind my back and to them I say SORRY, BUT I CAN'T DO A THING ABOUT THE PAUCITY OF YOUR VOCABULARIES. Being odd gives one a license to be formidable.
Phil's reply to Pdoc trouble in Boston was the kind of hotheaded rhetoric I am starving for.
There was another person who's a "word nut", that essay had me bouncing in my chair with delight. Anyway Elizabeth,Dreamer, krazy kat and I forget all the names but I feel like I know you guys already. I have to go now.
