So Much More Than Just Auto-Fun of the Day :: 3-31-2008

While writing yesterday's Top Ten, I often got stuck spending valuable time going through the multitude of posts I'd already written about my relationship w/this city, and consequently re-working the new post to avoid repeating myself. It took forever and I wasn't happy with the result. Also: every time I trek back into the archives, I'm truly stunned by my capacity for repetition. I wish I had a "Mark as Written" tag on my brain, so I could easily recall what's already been covered.

How consistently I say the same things like they were new things. I've got a common nightmare: I'm relating an anecdote as though it's fresh and exciting while my audience, eyes rolling to skull-backs, suffers through the stale & eager repeat, seething with resentment. Like: on the cruise last summer, Rosie accidentally told the same joke twice in one set, and the experience was to be honest --- jarring. She caught herself, took a drink and apologized, turned it into a new joke, but witnessing the same delivery, made me think -- I do that.

In Ariel Levy's John Waters article, she says any Waters fans would see "his conversation is peppered with reruns and standards ... but it's fine. John Waters's recycling is more interesting than most people's virgin material." Which's something to aspire to.

As a kid, I'd interrupt my Mom if I'd already heard her story: she told me this was rude, as were my corrections. Stephen Dunn, in "The Answers," responds to the question, "why did you leave me?" with "You began to correct my embellishments in public. / You wouldn't let me tell my stories."

Possibly, I've even written about repeating myself before.

There's stories/experiences I already know I tell too often (Olive Garden, life of housewivery/frat rathood, being raised w/o television and artificial coloring, in public high school i wore boxers & skater pants and stared at the ceiling fan a lot, when Matty went to the park to look for osaama and never came back, my ex the cop [what's unfortunate is that I've only got a few exes who I'm certain will never read this, and therefore they're often spoken of/for]), but there's some I don't mean to. Stories about my father I may've told before are the riskiest to re-tell, 'cause no-one wants to interrupt a ghost story. But maybe I don't talk about him as much as I think I do. Which is the problem: I write down so much of what I think, it's nearly impossible to remember what I kept in my head, and what I put into words (therefore changing it immediately).

So, a reader survey! I know, I totally ask so much from you, it's actually semi-obnoxious. But ok -- no need to identify yourself (but you sure can!), and though your comments will be addressed in a larger sense (and possibly specifically, who knows), I don't plan to run down the line in response as I traditionally do. Also; I realize 95% of you won't answer, and that's fine, clearly I took Statistics 350 for a reason, know all about sample size, etc., and also, you don't have to, I appreciate your mysterious eyes. Also if you're my 3-D friend you still have to answer. Feel free to skip one, some or almost all the questions, like if you don't know who Lozo is. Just answer whatever you want.

It's almost time for Auto-Win's SECOND BIRTHDAY! Aren't you excited? Tinkerbell is1

quote: "I could say that telling her our story, / was a way of bringing you back to life, / and for a while it was, a memorial / made of memory and its words. / But here's what I knew: /Watching her react, I was sure I'd tell our story again, to others. I understood / how it could be taken to the bank, / and I feared I might not ever again / feel enough to know when to stop." (from Stephen Dunn, "The Stories")

1. I started maybe a week ago. I was obsessively listening to Uh Huh Her so I youtubed them and that led me to you.

1/a. I have been. I do this thing where when I find a new blog I like, I spend all my "free" (read: "internetting when I should be working") time reading archives. So I've been reading yours. I've read a lot at this point, and I'm saying "probs" and "totes" in my head all the time, and I have all these things I want to talk to you about--but thus far I've been too shy to comment for a number of reasons. So I'm totes glad (see) that you did a reader survey because it makes writing a first comment easier.

2. When you're here, you're family.

3. Bookslut. Am I allowed more than one? TWOP, GFY, pretty dumb things, McSweeneys.

4. Scissoring, obvs. (I only know who Lozo is from following links in your blog and watching vlogs and such.)

5. I have seen all of The L Word, yes. Papi is ... with Mandy from the West Wing.

6. Umm ... top ten book recommendations?

7. I don't know if you'll thank me for that, it's pretty weak. It's late, I'm tired.

5. yes, and Papi is training for the Gus Macker, it takes up a lot of her time, obvs.
6. well, I don't know if it exploded because it sounded good, but Gay Cruise Blog: Part One (and Two) made my head explode because I realized we were on the same boat, and your line "the weirdest part of returning from the cruise is remembering that everyone's not gay anymore" summed everything up completely.
7. that'll be $100.
8. I think it's very rare for a human to produce entirely new material every single day, since, you know, we all live our lives in patterns and routines. The L Word is on top of this, with the matching outfits and repeating storylines.
18. I hope you are on the cruise this year. That sounded very Adele, but I mean that in a non-creeper way. I just want to get Tinkerbell's autograph.

1. How long have you been reading this weirdo's blog? [this weirdo = me]
couple of months

1/a. Have you read archives?
yes entirely, with great interest

2. Fill in the blank: "When you're here, you're ______."
sometimes puzzled, most of the time entertained (hate this word, is too mild)

3. What's your favorite thing to read on the internet besides me obvs.
The Reverse Cowgirl, StuffWPL, Roissy in DC (to be read with caution, my daily dose of poison), Go Fug Yourself

4. What's Lozo's favorite position?
I missed that entry, if any. I have the feeling that he’s hawt no matter what he fancies himself doing. Same, if not even more, goes to a;ex.

5. Have you seen The L Word and if so where is Papi.
The car accident you cannot take your eyes off? Yes I’ve seen it, thanks God it’s over (at least for now)! In regards to Papi, to be honest, I don’t really care; she’s not really my type... I miss old Alice.

6. Name of a blog post title (and, by implication, subject) that'd make your head explode with excitement to read it 'cause it just sounded so good!
Fucking Around #2: Local Edition

7. omg, thanks!
Oh yeah, omg, thanks!

8. Do you think I repeat myself on this blog a lot? Like, in a bad way?
No way! And if you are you are doing it in a good way like flashbacks and such.

9. anything else? okay.
Cannot wait for your book.

Love the quotes you are borrowing from T&S songs, I know is hard to resist (please don’t even try to resist).

And if I’m not mistaken you said that you are not dating for a long time now (maybe I’m wrong). This has to stop! Get yourself a nice gf/bf/whatevs; you are stilling years, rich book source material and life force from you. Not my business, I know.

2. ...not at the Olive Garden

4. fetal
5. she's on the line with the distraught woman with the dog
6. I dunno but it probs had song lyrics in it
7. omg! no worries!
8. I think you draw on similar themes and ideas repeatedly, like NY, but I can't remember it ever feeling dull, old or boring. I think the things/stories you find yourself most wanting to write about are probably what you're best material is going to come from, because if it's repeatedly on your mind, then you probs have a lot of feelings about it.
18. huzzah!

5. Papi is rehearsing for her Season 6 cameo, where she'll appear alongside Mark and Dylan, as they debut the documentary about Papi that they've been working on, because:
A) Mark wanted to know how she "does it," and found her a much more willing teacher than Shane
B) Dylan just wanted to do her in the editing room, and
C) Ilene believes that this will "tie up loose ends" and "make her viewers happy"
6. "If I wasn't a writer I'd want to be..." (totally lame and I know it may be impossible to pretend that you weren't born for this- but I'm sure you'd turn it into something hilarious)
7. No, thank YOU!
8. Not in a bad way. Like someone else said, it seems it is only re: something important, and it is not as if you tell the same stories here, bc I have a good memory, and would totally get annoyed.
18. I know NOTHING about publishing...but will you do a book tour (at least on the East Coast)? Bc that would totes be awesome. I'm looking forward to the book- best of luck finishing.

4- scissoring
5- oh yes. Papi is with me....and Lover Cindi, getting the buried treasure. Helena is with us too.
6-"My first day in the l word writers room with the chaiken." including shenny spoilers!
7 - no, thank you thank you.
8 - you do sometimes but its in a good way.

18 - I don't want to sound like no.1. lurker, but maybe I am. Never commented, never wrote, didn't buy the tshirt, "probs" won't comment again after today. I guess you could say I like watching from here, this safe space where you don't know anything about me although I live with two people who know everything there is to know about me and that makes me want to run away.
There are things I'm curious to know and reading this thread I see I'm not the only one who is curious ,, but then I see alot of this as my own conjecture of what I read between the lines. Do I want to know the truth if that means I might be wrong? Do I want to know what your job is if you could get fired again? do I want to know .....Like, what is the composition of your relationship with (a certain punctuation mark)? - I might like how I fill in what I don't know better than getting the straight ( queer?)scoop. I could go on (the identity of B? and more questions, manymany more on that). Haviland? What happened? Will you believe that those questions are rhetorical? Do not answer them, just know there is a woman in the middle of the country somewhere who asks them, and who does not want an answer. You have also answered many questions I am not aware of how to ask or never would have asked. So keep doing that, please.

1. Since November-ish?
1/a. Yes. I may or may not have even bookmarked a couple of your best posts...
2. Queer, right? Fambly? I dunno, who's this theoretical "you" we're speaking of?
3. Blogs of people I actually know. Wikipedia, because it is obvs the best and most accurate reference source ever, it's infallible and pretty much the apex of our civilisation. (Well, that and the refined, icy sport of world-class curling.)
4. Vice-president of the merchandising department. I mean, shortstop. On a women's softball team.
5. Two and a half times. Both and a half episodes were Papi-free, but I did see Shane's boobs.
6. Not kidding: if you ever were to reference Hawksley Workman lyrics in a post title (like you do Tegan and Sara), my head would definitely, absolutely explode. And now if you ever do, I will take it as a personal shout-out.
7. For what?
8. Not hardly. A lot of the stuff you write would bear copious repeating, I think.
18. If I were ever to actally see you in RL, like at the gym or on the street or at, like, a concert, I'd scream like a fangirl. Which would be embarrassing, so it's probably fortunate that the odds of that happening are so extraordinarily slim. Once I totes saw Kurt Browning in the parking lot of a mall when I was fifteen, and...um, I'm actually gonna stop, now.

7. No prob!

8. Not in a bad way, everybody repeats themselves. True fact: people only make new friends so they can tell their stories again. This was once the theme of a personals ad I wrote that I never got around to posting because a) I'm a chicken; and b) I wouldn't have a story to tell people about how we met if I met somebody this way, yanno?

6. Name of a blog post title (and, by implication, subject) that'd make your head explode with excitement to read it 'cause it just sounded so good!
I don't know. I can think of a lot of blog post titles but I don't think any of them are head-exploding. Maybe it's my frame of mind. "There are beautiful things I need to dispose of." That would be a blog post I would want to read.
7. this really isn't that helpful, Riese, dont' be thankful
8. Do you think I repeat myself on this blog a lot? Like, in a bad way? Yes, but not a lot. no, not in an awful way. FYI, yes, you write a lot about being repetitive lately. that's meta repetitive.

2. "When you're here, you're..." furiously masturbating.
3. That is a trick question, for all I want and need on the Internet is this blog.
4. Lozo prefers cuddling to sex, so he prefers to spoon. He'll be big or little, depending on how big the stripper is.
5. Yes, I have seen The L Word, and Papi is hitting third in the Boston Red Sox lineup.
6. This Girl Called Automatic Win -- now in 3D!
7. omg, you're welcome!

18. No, nothing else. You've done enough.

6. "Sunday Top Ten: Reasons why you should buy my newly-published book." - too good not to agree
