[quote="Lynne"]Oh, and DM, your Whitman in the bday thread is beautiful; one of my absolute favorites, and quite a propos.[/quote]

Aw, thanks, Lynne. I can't take any credit obviously. I was looking for something else when I flipped open to "Locomotive." Seemed almost creepily fitting somehow.

PRule, congrats to your best friend.

You'd make it just fine here in New York City.

Nah, I'm too polite in real life!

by **jeffdaweasel** on 14 Jul 2007 02:12

Not me!

Welcome, Lynne. I lurked here too. For like, 15 minutes. Then I started blabbing, and they haven't figured out a way to shut me up yet.

Fuck you, weasel.

See? *THAT'S* what I'm talking about....every other post is a 'Fuck You Weasel.' and then you just spewed out this lovely poem from Walt. It was a bit scary is all I'm sayin'....

by **Hannaha** on 14 Jul 2007 02:20

Seriously Weasel, fuck off.

I am large, 3/4. I contain multitudes. (-- Walt Whitman)

[I probably shouldn't mention how I threw some Keats at Hannah way back, huh?]

Hey, it's not the first time that I've been party to a Multiple Outing ... and one of those times it was actually a sex change (!), although I wasn't a *direct* party to the tranasaction, so to speak. My husband is grateful for that :lol:

. I hope it all works out; if there's one thing I've come back to again and again as I've gotten older, it's how important it is to be true to yourself and honest about who you are if you really want to be content.

Actually, to Hannah's point (and continuing the gay theme), a big chunk of me culturally is British, and it's fun to see how well I can "pass" when there ... especially given that I'm a kinda energetic and goofy American (gee, ya think that might be why Stewart resonates with me?). You might be surprised at how culturally fluid you might find yourself in the US, especially outside of New York. Sheesh, I've even learned how to be rude on the Tube in British!

I have a very good British (Mancunian) friend who claims that the combination of pop music, Harry Potter, Dr. Who, and the global popularity of English Premiere League football is the Next Coming of the British Empire. If that's so, then I'm more British than I care to admit!

It's a sneaky back door invasion

And the real key to britishness is the insults and swearing. And being very sarcastic and rude. And having crooked teeth

"I am large, I contain multitudes" is always my escape pod when I'm caught in a contradiction that I like but can't escape! Walt Whitman was a bloody genius.

We have a local jazz singer of whom you might have heard, Kurt Elling, who's fond of setting poetry to music and turning it into lyrics (including Whitman, the 11th c. poet Rumi, e.e. cummings, and a turn of the century guy named Rexroth). Last year he did a Steppenwolf Theater show with Whitman's "Leaves of Grass". Kurt and his band play at the Green Mill on Wednesdays when not touring, and they always have a guest artist. One of my dreams is for Stewart to show up to play with them on the Wednesday night, particularly for me to imagine the interaction with Laurence Hobgood, one of the most accomplished and imaginative pianists I know.
