met the most beautiful girl today, her name was leli, and she was five. she had big brown eyes and ponytails, and told me that she had two toys and two books that she didn't know the name of because she couldn't read. leli laughed when i told her i was a bit deaf, like it was silly of me to let that happen (and it was). leli asked me about the school i go to, the friends i have, where i got my backpack (i told her a good friend of mine gave it to me).

like i told amy sue later (of course i had to tell her, i think she's the only one that would understand what i mean when i stammer and stutter), i had to tell amy sue that this leli, she's going to be beautiful when she grows up. not just pretty beautiful, but amazing beautiful.

in other news, i am wanting to do another project with josh and mingus. i'll call it THE WIRE FLOWERS or something equally obnoxious. off kilter noise that's all static smoothed out and ringing. enough of this fiddle-faddle, from now on i'll make my valentines out of bloody beef hearts.
