RIP JD Salinger

When I first read The Catcher in the Rye, I did not fully appreciate or understand the literary greatness that I was privy too. Being forced to read this book at such a young age made it "required."

It was not until later, when I decided to pick up Salinger's works, that I began to understand his words, his meaning, and read with a reflective mind.

Today, we lost one of the greatest authors of the 20th Century, and arguably of our time. J.D. Salinger wrote with wisdom...and as I was googling quotations from him today, I was reminded of how affective his words can be....


"I used to think she was quite intelligent , in my stupidity. The reason I did was because she knew quite a lot about the theater and plays and literature and all that stuff. If somebody knows quite a lot about all those things, it takes you quite a while to find out whether they're really stupid or not."

"I love you to pieces, distraction, etc."

"Keep me up till five because all your stars are out, and for no other reason…Oh dare to do it Buddy! Trust your heart. You’re a deserving craftsman. It would never betray you. Good night. I’m feeling very much over-excited now, and a little dramatic, but I think I’d give almost anything on earth to see you writing a something, an anything, a poem, a tree, that was really and truly after your own heart."


"What I was really hanging around for, I was trying to feel some kind of a good-bye. I mean I've left schools and places I didn't even know I was leaving them. I hate that. I don't care if it's a sad good-bye, or a bad good-bey, but when I leave a place I like to know I'm leaving it. If you don't, you feel even worse.”...

Book Club...

One of my dear friends and I are starting a book club...we are hoping to meet women with like-minded interest (books and writing)and create a new and exciting circle of friends.

So, followers and readers of this simple blog, if you are interested in our book club, let me know! It has been dubbed "Lesbian Book Club, With Wine" but any girls are allowed to participate!!

Rilke Philosophy

Some of you may recognize this quote a lil lesbian movie, but to me this quote is just amazing and embodies so much. It is a philosophical approach to living in the moment:


"It is not inertia alone that is responsible for human relationships repeating themselves from case to case, indescribably monotonous and unrenewed: it is shyness before any sort of new, unforeseeable experience with which one does not think oneself able to cope. But only someone who is ready for everything, who excludes nothing, not even the most enigmatical will live the relation to another as something alive."

Another Year...

Most people take time to reflect on the past year and learn from the mistakes and things that happened. I guess I am taking a different path: my motto is 'cheers! to new begininings!' and I feel that it is best to hold true to this.

Case in point: 2010 is already exciting. I've met some great people that I will see again in 2010. I am teaching. I still have a job. I have great roommates. I have great friends.

What is the point on looking into the past when the present and future is so wickedly awesome?
