Commentary on Friends
James Layman's triumphant return to DC was heralded by this entertaining letter to the SecState. I haven't spoken to James in a while, but I'm glad I still read his LJ.
In that same vein, I haven't spoken to Storey since he came to visit, but I still take a look at his site. He posts (on 8/9 and 8/11, since he doesn't permalink) about friendship surviving even distance - I think that is true to a certain extent, but it shows the value that an individual places on that friendship if an effort isn't at least given routine maintenance. I know it is hard to maintain long-distance friendships, but the good lord invented cell phone with free long distance for a reason. Sometimes it is actually easier to maintain a phone relationship than it is when someone is in the same city. I am at work so much that meeting someone for a drink can be a pain in the ass, but having a phone conversation, even while awkward, can really maintain a friendship. It also tells people you care about them that you are asking about them even though there isn't an independent reason for calling. Now, that wasn't where I was going with this link, but sometimes stream-of-consciousness blogging takes over. Where I was going was related to writing "fiction" which is loosely disguised autobiography. I see no problem with that, but then again, I'm not a writer of fiction or non-fiction. You naturally present a story from your point of view, and you naturally reach back into your experience for impressions. I didn't find myself in Storey's book, but I did hear echoes of conversations that we had had - which I think is more than natural. As you read my blog, or emails, or listen to me speak, you SHOULD hear echoes of what you have told me - it tells me that I've made an impact on your life and your experience. I don't see that as being uncreative. And in fact, if I ever did write fiction in my life, I think it would be disingenuous to try to divorce myself from the story. Really authentic fiction (not really an oxymoron, good fiction has a ring of truth to it) has to be believable, or make me suspend my disbelief. The best way to make it connect with people is to use the connections you have with people.
Even though I live with her I love reading CityCat's recollections of her life through her blog - I don't know whether she really writes like she tells stories or if i read her in her voice.... I guess i'll never know. It is sort of like the Last Days of Summer for me :).
