Kim is queen
(Along with KTV.) Happy birthday, Kimmity Kim.
2004
The Lad’s non-party turned out to be a cracking good time, as you can see from the lesbians. Also, champagne! But I might have been an idiot. Happily, I spent most of the evening talking to Kati Vol, whose natural exuberance was perfectly matched by my garrulous drunkenness. I have no memory of our conversation, … Continue reading
The Wind in the Ward Street 2.0
Maggie and Christine and I were sitting around late last night (I swear there was studying done at some point yesterday evening), and, as is common among young women in the twenty-first century, we turned our talk to the inevitability of homosexuality outbreaks amongst our male acquaintance. “The worst part,” I said, “is that if … Continue reading

The Double-Bat Rule: One outfielder may wield a second bat. If the outfielder hits a ball (not necessarily … Continue reading
Dear Maggie,
You get a birthday blog even though you don’t read this ever. In your own words, “whoever propels you towards clarity is the key.” Maggie, you never have really propelled me towards clarity. But the days of sitting under one blanket and waiting for Manuel, so steady, are always just over my shoulder, and they … Continue reading
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO KIMMIE
Kim, I love you and I am constantly impressed by your bravery and your uncompromising need to make the world a better place. I’m pretty inarticulate when it comes to saying how I feel about people, so I will just quote from a journal entry I wrote when we lived together in San Diego: “I’m … Continue reading
