Names that resonate for me:

Adrian
Cameron
Miles
Ian

and most importantly,
Ames

Most of the -ian’s make me pause and observe though. Not the -yan’s (like Ryan, Bryan), but the -ian’s.

feedback from my work as a verb (Being) last night:

Hi Julia:
Wow, wow :) It was great talking to you last night, I am thoroughly impressed by your keen intellect and am figuring that some of it might rub off onto me if I hang out with you sometime?
How about that Band?

Thanks For The Introduction To Your World Last Night, You Speak On a level which I would like to be on more often.

Truly, Michael

Unfortunately, I’m still in solitary, gathering mode. I’m looking for something very specific, but I am grateful for the positive connection and the feedback.

“You know what it was? It was your smile. And your smile led me to your eyes,” he said.

1. julia meets cameron
2. julia meets 2 pilots, neither of whom have read the little prince.
3. julia experiences the theoretics (mindblowing)
4. julia makes a man’s hands shake. “you’re such a powerful spirit. your intelligence…i admire it and fear it. i’ve never experienced anything like it. i…i just need a moment.”
5. if you don’t think you’re good enough for someone, then you’re not. i will know him because he will make himself known; he won’t fear me but will be grateful to have finally met me.
6. julia gets bought a drink by a smooth, magician in black named moodi. the bartender agrees to make a fake drink without alcohol, to make sure i make it out of the night.
7. you don’t ask, you don’t get–carl who looks like david boreanaz (who plays seeley booth…whom you will notice, i recently said i would be open to), comes back 3 times over the course of the night. all three times, he failed to state what he really wanted. you don’t ask, you don’t get. and for me to give it to you without you asking, doesn’t benefit anyone. he resigned himself to letting me disappear into the night. as most men who are not ready do.

in the still of the night, it is the rhythms of the breeze that guide you home to me. you have no idea how faithful i’ve been.
