an observation on holden's hat acheived through
personal experience.

my father gave me a pair of shoes. shiny black
leather shoes that look like they belong with a
uniform. heel and all. 
i broke into a really horrible sort of tap dancing
everytime i walked on a hard surface. but that's not
what i'm talking about.
i'd forget that i was wearing these shiny black
things and then when i'd get out of a car or
something i'd look down and BooM! big smile at seeing
these Shiny Black shoes on my feet. because they were
so out of place.

isn't that the way holden's hat works. kinda. i mean
isn't it just sorta to cheer him up. apart from the
clearly defined functional use of people shooting.

and seymour and charlotte.
maybe it has nothing to do with it but..

i saw a girl today. i kept looking over at her
because it was making me happy. BECAUSE she reminded
me of someone else. i knew very well she wasn't the
person she was reminding me of. but it made it easier
to think of the person if i had someone who sorta
looked a little like her to look at. 

sometimes i worry about the amount of tenderness i
can feel for people i don't even know. that kindof
stuff happens all the time. getting sad when somebody
i don't even know leaves.
