Got the first part of something I'm writing down, need some people to tell me if it works.

Yo, I'm reading Their Eyes Were Watching God, and the dialogue is fucking brilliant. The writing is brilliant.

I really shouldn't have Sparknotes'd this book in high school.

I also read bits of Men and Mules, again by Zora Hurston; she has a mastery of dialogue. Mastery. It comes from experience, and just being ingrained in her culture, but christ. I wonder how much you can attribute it to that, or pure literary skill, or anthropological field study. The point of the book is to document black folklore in florida, but its written like literary fiction. Its reflexive. A majority of it is dialogue, but I doubt she was taking notes -- its all hearsay, so she had to fill some of the characters from memory -- which takes skill. These people become her own creation through the dialogue. But aside from dialogue, although reflexive, first person, she only invokes the sense of sight -- observation. Like an anthropologist. Its a conscious decision, because she has mastery of senses as exhibited in Their Eyes Were Watching God. She was being sponsored by a white professor, looking to do some Westernized field study -- Zora played to this, however. She wanted to write something that would sell, but also have scholarly value. She combined her learned passion, anthropology, with her original passion, writing, in Mules and Men. Ok, caffiene tangent off.

She fucking good yo. Inspired as shit, just what I needed.

Weebay so cool, but the drama of this scene was destroyed for me in recent viewings because of how i've used this gif.

space shuttles don't seem too complicated... all i really wonder though, what's the feeling when the ground starts shaking, agitated with flames and smoke, and pro-(s)pelled, power, technology, explosions of complexions, with all these different lights..

[Leonard Leroy]

Its like when daddy used to put you inside the cardboard box and shake it while saying VROOM VROOM VROOM

[sistersuzie]

daddy used to roll me in a blanket, laying on the ground, and pull on one end of it, so i'd spin in the airs

he was not saying "vroom vroom vroom" though, i think i miss the whole experience... maybe , one day, i'll look back at my youth with a smile, now, i feel totally empty.... AND THAT'S BECAUSE OF YOU!!!

[Leonard Leroy]

So fill it up with a smile, stupid.

[sistersuzie]

the "vroom vroom vroom" as the perfect imagery for childhood innocence... well is missing.

that's where the emptiness lay.

echoing cradle!!

edit: i love the word cradle and my new avatar

My dad used to hold my head up to the showerhead, as if I liked it. I dunno how I remember that, but I know I hated it. I don't know why he would do that,

Dad, the water is going to get to me, just stop blocking it, oh thanks. Oh thanks. Thanks.

[sistersuzie]

he thought you liked having your head in the toilet bowl as he was flushing too...

your dad always had a "phony" sense of humor
