dear anna: thank you so much, i did stay home and though i do not feel like eating, the intervals between dry heaves are longer now.

the sleeping helps.

dear x/xxxx/xxxxx: no i do not live and work in an interstate reststop, though i do live in an apt building that overlooks the interstate. i'm sure when my appetite comes back i'll take your advice and make a sandwich or something. i moved here for various reasons, most of which didn't work out as planned. i thank you for your concern, though; the kindness of (perhaps) strangers is overwhelming to me these days. your thoughtful note not only gave me advice on what to eat once i am not semi-perma-nauseous, it also reminded me that i could take control of my life via food. god that's excellent.

dear idreamtrains: like x/xxxx/xxxxx, your g-book entries were rife with excellentness. audioreports! awesome idea! though, i do not want to do one on real dolls, because i do not want to meet anyone who uses real dolls. in the event that i already know someone who uses real dolls, i do not want to know that i know someone who uses real dolls.

i don't know, maybe if you found someone and wanted me to do a phone interview, but i do not want to meet them.

i'll think on it, you think on it, we'll converse via email, we'll see what we come up with, yes?

and keep your filthy mitts off ira glass. he's mine, all mine.
