“One must be drenched in words, literally soaked in them, to have the right ones form themselves into the proper pattern at the right moment.” ~Hart Crane
Do you ever have one of those weeks where there are just too many words? It’s like I’m drowning in letters and every time I think I can come up for air, there’s the word ‘myopic’ kicking me in the face.
Do you ever hone one of those weeks where you know that you’re coming down with the flu or scurvy or PMS and you want to just keel over and curl up in the fetal position but you can’t because there is table side prepared guacamole and pomegranate margaritas in your future? And really, what is more important: Health or patron? Think about it.
As such, I’m going to be that shitty blogger who says, “I’m not here but you can find me in these 17 other places!” My favorite being the exchange between myself and HRH Greeblemonkey.
Oh! Totally forgot to mention the part where I ran into the wall. Twice. Head first. Many of you are saying “No shit, I thought that probably happened to you ages ago” but alas not, it was yesterday and then again today.
And apropos of nothing else what is the first thought that comes to mind when you hear the name “Amani”? Atonement Review at MamaPop! (Some times they let me kick it over there)
Have I mentioned that I’m black and female and neither has any bearing on my decision on who to vote for? At BlogHer. (Some times they pay me to kick it over there) (And by ’some times’ I mean monthly because how else do I afford the patron??)
And this gem right here. But read down to the end because the most important part isn’t about how I spend my money, it’s the fact that I can tie a cherry stem with my tongue. Seriously.

As soon as I saw you were coving this topic, I was *hoping* you’d have come across Tiffany’s rapier wit.
Great article, Heather. I hope you get a lot of dialogue about it.
Why, thank you. For the record, it didn’t get shit though and yet everyone else’s articles in reference to the same exact thing are practically being fashioned into a political primer. But mine seems to be continuously overlooked. And NO, I’m not bitter about this. Not at all. Ho hum.

I asked you for the links where ELSE you were posting, and you delivered.
Thank you
Welcome. I don’t want to be one of those people who only links to other places because that’s boring and annoying. But this has been a very long posting week so I figured why the hell not.

Stop it, stop it! You’re killin’ me!
But seriously, I have been thinking about changing my hair. What do you think about The Diana?
Eh. It’s too teased. I picture you to be more of a Princess Grace type of person. Also my apologies for suggest Swarovski over diamonds.

Since being smited with The Plague and PMS AND discovering the series “The Gilmore Girls” I went into a cave and removed “Words” from my life for about a week.
It was lovely.
Sigh.
I now have to motor over and read about your female blackness not mattering a frig about your political views. Sounds INTERESTING.

Me thinks you wouldn’t run into the wall were it not for those margaritas. I’m just sayin’…
Aimee Greeblemonkey says:
Diamonds *are* my birthstone after all.

Loved the article. You are so right. It’s about the issues and who is the best person to deal with them. I have been waffling for months over how I would vote. And luckily with it being about a week away from the CA primary, I think I may have made up my mind finally.
