Only English men look good in pink shirts.  A former professor of mine
even had a lavender shirt - and the color was so rich, it looked
sateen.  And it suited him well.  But it must put women in a strange
position, having to dress better than them or else being made to feel
unfeminine.  When I was an undergraduate, the campus association of gays,
lesbians, and bisexuals gave a talk in our dorm. Later on I saw one
of the speakers on campus wearing a black shirt with white polka dots.  (I
remember him because I asked him an overly earnest question about how
being gay affected his relationship with women.  Somehow, I believed that
being gay would carry a man's relationship with women to dizzy platonic
heights...)  And he looked nice. Not everybody could pull it off. The
Great Gatsby had a lot of nice shirts so maybe he was gay and that's the
real reason Daisy cried at the sight of them.

I said some mean things to my sister on the phone, so I feel bad.  I
wish we were kids again.  I didn't mean to be mean, but I had to explain.
Sometimes I wish there were more space between sticking up for yourself
and hurting other people.  But she doesn't react anymore to anything I
say: not directly, not to me.  So how can we still be close?

No. I don't mean that.  She's a materialistic slob.  She takes over
everything around her.  And she took our (not incl. her in 'our'; it's
too bad he's so friendly; otherwise, he might bark at her to make her go 
away) dog for a walk and nearly killed him (she told me he could barely
walk and that he threw up when he came home), the walk of course being
really for her benefit.  Ugh!!!  She should just keep away!

I wonder if "Chalet Lines" will be an angry song or a sad song.  (Please
don't tell me though.)  I imagine Stuart to have white heat/silent
treatment kind of anger.  That's the most cutting.

Yours,
Youn
