dear radical friends and family,
i'm writing by way of pure goodness and hope that you will at least consider donating any amount at all to the 2008 kdvs 90.3 fm davis fundraiser.
this radio land is true magic anything can happen-ness, a pure, amazing
outlet!
it would be especially appreciated if you were to call in and donate during the crazy antics and bravery of my second fundraiser show occuring this sunday night: april 27th from 7-8pm co-hosting with my roommate love roxanne and cosmetology teacher hero hydro from sacto.
did i mention tax deductableness and that there are top notch coolio premiums (music, t-shirts, golden books, handmade goodies, gift certificates, studio recording time, etc.), gratitude, and life changing galore.
for more information, feel free to ask me anything under the moon or see:
http://fundraiser. kdvs.org
well, whether or not you are able to pledge you can listen to this gem all over the world on-line 24-7 (www. kdvs.org) and fundraiser week is worth while even if for simply tuning in to an entire week of hilarity and fascination, program wise.
be a doll and pass this to all your cool pals ok!
either way, i send all my love and best thoughts.
thanks for reading!
love,
emily french

yes: i'm writing this at an emotional peak but i need to express that i have never lived such a stressful lifestyle and it's frightening to do so all the while my antenna is tuned too intently to how i feel and how everyone around me feels all the time.
this period in time is hard; everything is suffering. my true friends feel neglected but i just work and go to school 9am-10pm everyday and sometimes i get to sit down and i'm doing my very best so when someone leaves me a disrespectful nasty ass note at work it makes me want to quit everything, it hurts and i tried to write them back to say hey i'm a human being here but my beliefs took over, i crumpled it up and started sniffling at the gas station to not understand why i keep reliving this test of character scenario.
every time i turn the corner i'm in a relationship with a negative, unhappy person whom i let treat me like shit because i'm trying to be true to myself and my ideas.
i know the right thing to do is continue this personal human kindness experiment which is awesome by the way but oh my god sometimes the test is testing me too!

heather had a dream i got into beauty school and now i can't wake up!
five days, two record store shifts, one farmer's market too few of life as i know it and not enough string!
consider me a scared thrill seeker i'm living a double dare and my heart has never beat this fast before.

tonight i ducked out the bakery back door on a pizza delivery (there were seven) and swiftly said like i always do, "i love --" in such a frenzy something else caught my attention before getting to "--you guys!". but shh this place is magic because in another room noah said "i love you too" i didn't even have to finish my sentence
so
i
won't,

the cutest, complete stranger snuck up and in quite a surprising way left a little flower for me to find, makin' nevada city darn difficult to leave tonight.
simple interactions like this stuff truly kills me,

oh phew! one week ago as of tonight i finished the book i had been borrowing in a cold Berkeley coffee shop and zoomed through the city streets on foot after wards since i was feeling such a rush. someone even stopped me and insisted that i show them this book that i was practically twirling around with!
lately, wish i had a true friend whom i could read passages to and do a bunch of silly special stuff with but until we bump into each other i'll just adventure on my own.
got to scrawl these odds and ends down before returning Still Life With Woodpecker...
what are you reading?,
emily

"Albert Camus wrote that the only serious question is whether to kill yourself or not.
Tom Robbins wrote that the only serious question is whether time has a beginning and an end.
Camus clearly got up on the wrong side of bed, and Robbins must have forgotten to set the alarm.
There is only one serious question. And that is:
Who knows how to make love stay?
Answer me that and I will tell you whether or not to kill yourself.
Answer me that and I will ease your mind about the beginning and the end of time.
Answer me that and I will reveal to you the purpose of the moon."

"How can one person be more real than any other?
Well, some people do hide and others seek.
Maybe those who are in hiding--escaping encounters, avoiding surprises, protecting their property, ignoring their fantasies, restricting their feelings, sitting out the Pan pipe hootchy-kootch of experience--maybe those people, people who won't talk to rednecks, or if they're rednecks won't talk to intellectuals, people who're afraid to get their shoes muddy or their noses wet, afraid to eat what they crave, afraid to drink Mexican water, afraid to bet a long shot to win, afraid to hitchhike, jaywalk, honky-tonk, cogitate, osculate, levitate, rock it, bop it, sock it, or bark at the moon, maybe such people are simply inauthentic, and maybe the jackleg humanist who says differently is due to have his tongue fried on the hot slabs of Liar's Hell.
Some folks hide and some folks seek, and seeking, when it's mindless, neurotic, desperate, or pusillanimous can be a form of hiding. But there are folks who want to know and aren't afraid to look and won't turn tail should they find it--and if they never do, they'll have a good time anyway because nothing, neither the terrible truth nor the absence of it, is going to cheat them out of one honest breath of earth's sweet gas."

cody and i got our show!
have hardly told a soul and so i am bursting a bit at the seams about it, but despite my sounding terribly nervous, announcing incorrect titles with headphones falling off my head half the time...
truly glowing and excited about us, this darn ditty is so much fun:
"cody and emily tumbled out of sleep and snuck off to the treehouse for their very first kooky web of goofball songs!"
listen in to our premiere here: 1/5/06

sundays are for sailing to that moon-age magic theater in nevada city we see short films wash up on a frozen shore

Sorry,

i'd like to write a book about you and say see? this sacramento city is smoking and anxious but if we find the people and treasures that are worth while it would be a shame to say words that cheapen the world!

why did you drop me off a cliff?
where i'll wander this leaky wooded wait forever!

I Feel Horrible. He Doesn't

2004-11-11T13:06:20Z

I feel horrible. He doesn't
love me and I wander around
like a sewing machine
that's just finished sewing
a turd to a garbage can lid.

Hinged to Forgetfulness like a Door

Hinged to forgetfulness
like a door,
she slowly closed out of
sight,
and she was the woman I loved,
but too many times she slept like
a mechanical deer in my caresses,
and I ached in the metal silence
of her dreams.
