elvendoll1. If your emotions were a sandwich, what would be on it?
currently? well, the bread would be the groggy-haze everything is surrounded by. the mayo is relief/gladness that its nice out. the cheese is the feeling of not doing things quickly or well enough that's the substance of my workday, and in the veggies on that are hope for a good weekend, apprehension at the juggling of wants and needs that will need to happen, dread for the physical drive tonight, excitement about getting to see CdS again, as well as hope for all the things coming up and dread regarding my financial situation. the dressing that smothers the veggies is the love/care that i have for the people in my life.
2. What do you miss most about California?

kittypie who happens to be in california, and sentimentally, i miss the life i had when i lived in california - that is when i had a "group of friends" for the first time in my life, and they showed me that it is possible for me to ve accepted for who i am.3. How do you think being Russian has affected your experience as an American?
being considered russian is just weird - in russia, i was never considered russian, just a jew.
having lived in russia makes me insanely grateful to have been brought here and appreciate all the different ways in which that has changed my life. it makes me appreciate the principles america was founded on and scared about what is going on in the government. it also makes me feel about the actions of the government the same way i feel about religion - people can guess what they want, but noone knows what the truth really is.

4) what is one poem that is closest to you right now?
Who, if I cried out, would hear me among the angels' hierarchies?
and even if one of them pressed me suddenly against his heart:
I would be consumed in that overwhelming existence.
For beauty is nothing but the beginning of terror, which we are still just able to endure,
and we are so awed because it serenely disdains to annihilate us.
Every angel is terrifying.
And so I hold myself back and swallow the call-note of my dark sobbing.
Ah, whom can we ever turn to in our need?
Not angels, not humans, and already the knowing animals are aware
that we are not really at home in our interpreted world.
Perhaps there remains for us some tree on a hillside, which every day we can take into our vision;
there remains for us yesterday's street and the loyalty of a habit so much at ease
when it stayed with us that it moved in and never left.
Oh and night: there is night, when a wind full of infinite space gnaws at our faces.
Whom would it not remain for--that longed-after, mildly disillusioning presence,
which the solitary heart so painfully meets.
Is it any less difficult for lovers?
But they keep on using each other to hide their own fate.
Don't you know yet?
Fling the emptiness out of your arms into the spaces we breathe;
perhaps the birds will feel the expanded air with more passionate flying.
- Rainer Maria Rilke, Duino Elegies
