Dear Baroness Von Deletesalot

I wanted to call you tonight. Predictably enough I was in one of those confusing states of mind somewhere between desperation and liberation--too wound up to do anything about my condition. So, me being me, and me being in some city where the street corners don't mean shit to me, I set off walking trying to find God in the neighborhoods or in traffic or in the laugh of some homeless guy. Mainly though, I was trying to get lost... From Letters I Never Sent, a site "for Lovers. Liars. Crybabies. Sweetheats. Strangers. Best Friends. Old Friends. Exes. Enemies. Night Owls. Loners. Inmates. Vampires. Surfers. Soldiers. Jumpers. Writers. Widows. Ballerinas. Bastards. Gods."

Listening to Thom Yorke's Videotape while reading these is not putting me in the mood that I wanted to be in today.

It's amazing how much poignancy and poetry the average person has inside of him/her, I was half-expecting this site to read like so much tedious angst but there are some really touching and beautiful gems here. Stuff like this makes me want to take a hard look at the people around me, it's so easy to accept everyone at face value sometimes but I suppose we all have these lost places inside of us.

Bookmarking this one for sure; thanks for posting.

It's like condensed blog-reading. Quite a time saver.

I suspect I'll be pulling out the old typewriter and a bottle of whisky tonight...
