I wish I'd met you earlier. I really like talking to you.

You know what drives me crazy? It's all these people talking about how great technology is, and how it saves all this time. 

But, what good is saved time, if nobody uses it? If it just turns into more busy work. 

You never hear somebody say,"With the time I've saved by using my word processor, I'm gonna go to a Zen monastery and hang out". 

I mean, you never hear that.

I believe if there's any kind of God it wouldn't be in any of us, not you or me but just this little space in between.
If there's any kind of magic in this world it must be in the attempt of understanding someone sharing something.
I know, it's almost impossible to succeed but who cares really? The answer must be in the attempt.

I know what you mean about wishing somebody wasn't there, though. It's just usually it's myself that I wish I could get away from.
Seriously, think about this. I have never been anywhere that I haven't been. I've never had a kiss when I wasn't one of the kissers. Y'know, I've never, um, gone to the movies, when I wasn't there in the audience. I've never been out bowling, if I wasn't there, y'know making some stupid joke.
I think that's why so many people hate themselves. Seriously, it's just they are sick to death of being around themselves.

You're close with your grandmother?

Yeah. I think it's because I always have this strange feeling that I'm this very old woman laying down, about to die.
You know, that my life is just her memories or something.

That's so wild.

Even though I reject most of the religious things I can't help but feeling for all those people that come here lost or in pain, guilt, looking for some kind of answers.
It fascinates me how a single place can join so much pain and happiness for so many generations.

I used to think that if none of your family or friends knew you were dead, it was like not really being dead. People can invent the best and the worst for you.
