that's interesting. i'm really exhausted right now, so i won't try to spew
forth some intellectual sounding crap. i'll just say that i agree with
that sentiment. also, i'd be interested in hearing the censored stuff too.

i have to apologize. if it wasn't for me and my quote about thomas, we
very well might be talking about salinger. not to say that the thomas
interlude hasn't been interesting, it has been especially fun for me, but i
understand that i have once again started off on something that perhaps i
didn't understand would be such a hot topic. sorry to those of you who may
not be enjoying this interlude. i gladly accept the blame, whether i am
entirely responsible or not.
FOR EMMA--
welcome! hope to hear a lot from you as you move through this strange
little world of ours.
