ADULT CONTENT, YOU GUYS.

Text messages following my receipt of this birthday gift from one of the most lady-like ladies I know:

“The bonus part of that gift is that you get to imagine the scenario of me in a bakery asking if they’ll do custom dick cookies. They asked me for your preferred skin tone, btw.”

You have tamed me
Now you must take me
How am I supposed to be
I don’t have my thorns now

But I feel them sprouting
They’ll grow right through if I don’t watch it
They’ll grow right through even if I watch it
And a sunset couldn’t save me now

These baobabs, and baobabs, and baobabs some more
But you can’t out-wait fate

You have tamed me
Now you must take me

And I wouldn’t raise my child inside the city anyway
They grow up too savvy
And they grow up too fast
And they know about buying shit
And they know about sex
And they know about investment banking
And also about brokerage firms
And they know about the numbers
And they know about the words
And they know about the bottom lines
And also about stones
And they know about careers
And about the real deals
And they all grow up and become peoples people with people skills

But you have tamed me
Now you must take me
How am I supposed to be
I don’t have my thorns now

Greetings all. For those of you who participated in the FT2PPP(?!), please know that I’m sorting, numbering, signing, and attaching notes to photographs now, and they will be mailed out with great care by my lovely mom just after Thanksgiving. Thank you for your patience and understanding - as much as I love you all, I couldn’t write you letters while dealing with my wisdom tooth and unpacking and repacking and blah blah before now… but it’s happening. Thank you.

I’m thinking about making a limited amount available for the upcoming European dates with Regina. ??

highlights from my text message inbox

Thu, 19 Nov 2009 00:30:28 -0500

“We are listening to your cd again. Wearing new shirts and shoes… thanks for everything you gave us… friendship included.”
-Chrystie Moore of the Deas Vail entourage, demonstrating how freaking adorable things can get when you accidentally find yourself on a semi-Christian-rock tour.

“Twilight-themed makeout party? I’m there. Where/when?”
-Allison Gray, accepting an invitation to my birthday drinkfest (though the Twilight theme was her addition).

“I know it’s really late wherever you are and I’m sorry, but I wanted you to know I’m taking a page from your playbook and going home with a guy from this bar. Heyooooo!”
-a certain someone who I’m sure would prefer to remain anonymous… but GOD KNOWS WHAT YOU DID, JUST REMEMBER THAT.

aaaaahahahahahaha YES thank you...

These white lines will bend to make blue / Azure Ray

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 20:37:55 -0500

drive away
just get on the interstate
and slip through this closing gate

pulled into this cheap hotel
i called just to wish you well
you said don’t let love break you down
well just show me how
and let me never be broken

tomorrow a new point of view
these white lights will bend to make blue
now this can all look new to you

are you still living there
walking the streets with your hollow stare
you say there’s loneliness everywhere

so we have nothing to lose
the music plays all day long
and sorrow looks beautiful
and lovers seem mystical

tomorrow a new point of view
these bright lights will bend to make blue
now this can all look new to you

Thank you, Joe. You are an angel wrapped in a saint wrapped in your mom. I believe this was shot in Manchester, but it was a while ago so my memory is fuzzy. Before the bangs. Watching this got me wondering where the hell that necklace got to. The world may never know.

As always, anything Jenny does is amazing. Reblog this please. Thanks.
