a postcard from the edge: i'm already wet and i'm gonna go swimming
dear reader,

i don't mean to be didactic. but i thought i should give you all the facts about my current affliction.

ba·nal: adj.
Drearily commonplace and often predictable; trite: “Blunt language cannot hide a banal conception” (James Wolcott).

i'm taking an extended hiatus from livejournal.

i was wearing my confidence like a chainmail dress. his words slipped in between. perhaps he could not see my heart i safety pinned to my sleeve.

now, i am stripped. better to expose all the flaws than to wear those gaudy rags, yes?

i shall skinny dip in the cesspool of mediocrity until my fingers get pruny. until i am tired of swimming. until i drown, and small children poke at my bloated corpse with those leaf skimmer things.

i'm sorry.

kisses,
briana

When I "log on" to my "computer," I prefer a balanced combination of internet pornography and Briana's livejournal! Can't you just, you know, go through the motions of the journal, writing clever, mechanical entries for my benefit and the benefit of your other fans? COME ON!!!! Come. On. Fhwgds. I love you. See you this weekend, probablamente.
Love,
Fonnaroo

Aww... and I just discovered you. You'll be back. I tried to take a hiatus, I tried to quit... it's more difficult than cigarettes.

later

grrr. I and the rest of the LJ community will miss you. But I'll accept it if I get to hang out with you. I'll be back in NY by sunday night, how 'bout you?

You know Briana, I wrote an AWESOME response to this last night, and it seems to have not posted for whatever reason. Anyways, here's my idea: you should pull a sgt pepper on your lj. Instead of posting as yourself, you should post as someone else, possibly a drugged out 1960s marching band member wearing a pastel uniform. Then, you can escape the doldrum's of your current lj life and move into something more fulfilling. And hey, it worked for the Beatles; despite ever-rising tensions, they still put out the White Album, Let It Be, and Abbey Road, unquestionably three of the greatest albums ever, after the Lonely Heart's Club Band experiment (I'm putting the Magical Mystery Tour under the Sgt Pepper umbrella as a somewhat escapist album where they're putting on costumes, escaping from their identities, etc). So there's my 5 cents :)

Anyways, it will be sad not seeing any LJ postings from briana anytime in the near future. Come back soon!! :)

PS - this post was a helluvalot cooler last night. bleh.

Ms. Mowrey,

It seems I come a little more than fashionably late, as I have discovered you on your hiatus. If you happen to get this, think of a certain loud mouth in playwrights, and maybe drop him a line if you are in the city. Thinking of you fondly.

Peace,
Wil

Just happened to run across you myself and i must say i'm impressed. Your writing is exquisite, and quite amusing, i say this hiatus is a horrible idea, and i mean that in the most selfish way possible

thank you so much for the blush-worthy comments. it's a good thing i have low self-esteem to counterbalance such praise.

perhaps i will start to update more regularly after my summer classes are over. don't think i'm completely side-lined.

xoxo
