This might be a mistake. This posting is a quick email exchange with my friend Sarah from Philly.
When someone genuinely asks "how ya doin"? or you might try to explain the mood you're in, the
words that come out in response often sound so generic or even didactic.
This email exchange does a much better job of summing it up:
Hey Sarah,
For some reason I was just thinking about your teeth.
Remember- It's important to rinse with mouthwash twice a day! It will prevent infection and any further problems.
In other news: Tonight I'm going to have the final talk with Lucky about our relationship.
Then I'm going to become a Buddhist monk.
Let me know when you're coming to NY.

Hey there,
Thanks for the dental reminder. It is feeling way better I am glad to say. What happened with Lucky and the talk? Did it go okay? I actually got to see Shawn on Sun, he got up early and came to my race on Sunday. So Impressed as it was at 10am. We went out to brunch where I consumed massive quantities of unhealthy food and loved every minute of it! He seems very excited for the wedding to say the least. Well I hope the talk went well and it went the way you hoped. Let me know.
Sarah-
Sarah,
Congratulations on the run! Usually after vigorous activity (although not quite a marathon) all I want is meat. Lot's of
fatty protein packed hamburger type stuff. Your body needs it - eat up!
I'm actually looking for a new jacket for S and J's wedding today. Just for the record, I hate getting dressed up. Especially in a suit. I always feel like and ex-con at a job interview or church when I'm wearing a suit.
Most of my clothes come from a japanese store in Soho so I guess I'll look there... and look at the pretty ladies at the same time. Speaking of ladies... not so good with Lucky. I'm not happy about things. Neither is she. We've been spending time apart. Dinner tomorrow though. That's all I can say really.
I've had so many relationships at this point I'm worn out. The art world is enough to squash anyone's energy by itself.
Add back-to-back serious relationships with both Lisa's and I'm finished for a while.
It's too bad I like girls so much. I have so many female friends, maybe I just need a prostitute now and then to get things out of my system. Or possibly an adult nanny.
On that note, thanks for checking in on me.
Keep rinsing and brushing.
-A

i don't know you and i kinda of love you, just for you. don't fuck hookers and if you are interested in blogging about your emails you might also be interested in reading them in front of people. i host a reading night of electro mail called, ELECTRO MAIL. please come. it is at mama's bar on B and 3 at 8:30 tomorrow night, 9/19/07. come have fun. read an email. read 2 emails. or don't, it's your call.
first thing that comes to mind is the fact that (out of total embarrasment) I deleted the best email misunderstanding of all time!
Back last December I started hanging out with a nice gal. I went to Florida for a week, during which time I got an email from her that said something to the tune of "I like you a lot, blah, blah, blah, I want to still hang out but I'm not interested in you romantically.
That was cool with me. You see, I really liked this person no matter what. I definitely wanted to be her friend. When I got back to NY we had plans to see a favorite Woody Allen movie at Film Forum. Cool. We had a great time, wine, being goofey, being serious, shivering in the cold...
About a week after that we met for a drink, which turned in to a few drinks. We were near my apartment building so I suggested that we wait in the foyer while we call a car to take her home.
Then she asked why I didnt' try to kiss her yet?
My response while fumbling for my phone was "It's really cold outside". She said "well we're inside now". We certainly were. Then she asked why I didn't want to ask her up to my apartment? I replied "because of what you wrote in your email, which I'm really fine with". She still wanted to come upstairs. So waiting for the elevator we started with the making-out. During paused she kept saying that this is really strange and unexpected. My ego (beginning to swell) said something like "it's just natural, we both enjoy each other and your a girl and I'm a guy"...... irony to follow. Even in the love box, I mean elevator, she said it again and I said it's okay, it's not that odd. Then she asked "didn't you read the email?"
I said "yeah, but your interest in me has grown a bit since then and we're attracted to each other".
She asked "DID YOU REALLY READ THE EMAIL?"
Then I got to thinking, did I?
She then went on the reiterate the entire email she sent while I was in Florida which went a little something like "friends", "not romantically interested in you", "still want to be close"...
but at the bottom, way down at the bottom, way way down at the bottom of the email in a place my eyes did not see was writted - "plus I've been a dyke for as long as I can remember and I'm just coming out of a 4 year relationship with a woman".
oops.
I'll spare you the rest of the story, which is a nice one. She's awesome and we are friends even though she's in a different country for a while.
Point being Ms. T, I erased that one and many more like it. So I can't read them.
I won't be able to make it to Mama's tonight 9/19
but can I come to the next one? are they weekly?
women can be very confusing. i offer you my translation services free of charge should you require them. sorry about the dress-up discomfort. if it's any consolation, i dislike it too, and i have to be the most dressed-and-gussied up of all :/ o, and no one expects you to stay jacketed and tucked more than, say, 10 minutes into the reception.
ah but Jen, you look great dressed up and shawn looks like true gentleman guy. I look like someones eternal little brother.
Thanks for the translation offer. I'm going to need it after tonight.
