when my mum and dad moved house when i was 12, it was the worst thing ever: in a way i *still* don't think of where they live now (for 30 years!) as more than a temporary error — and (bcz 12 is quite an impressionable age) it pushed me towards completely repressing my feelings abt EVERYTHING through my teenhood and beyond, so as not to have to deal with this one thing (actually there were other things too at the same time, but this was a major one)

but what i found since is that my memories of that first house are kind of unspoiled, and it's a good thing to think of to relax me and just generally think nice thoughts when all is frazzled

it took a while to get to that, but it was good once i did

nothing is forever, but nothing really goes away either

Hey Alex is your bodega going to be different?

I moved when I was 11 and I attach such romantic notions to my lost childhood home that I suspect it might be a bit unhealthy. But I'm glad I've got this place in my head (however different from the reality) which I still know well.

mark s, i have dreams about my childhood home all the time. it haunts me constantly.

alex: hope the move goes well.

keep honoring the fire!

I moved countries when I was 13. I had to learn a new language (english), to adapt to a diff culture and to a diff climate. There were good and bad days but hang on in there.

*hugs* for alex.

everyone must hug him at the next FAP

(or shake hands and punch his arm in a manly yet fond way)

― gareth (gareth), Friday, 28 February 2003 13:55 (twenty-two years ago)

Suffice to say, it's been a really difficult couple of days for me. I know I talk an awful lot of bluster (read: hot air), but I'm not quite as iron-clad as one might've otherwise expected. Thanks to you all. I really mean it. I'm so completely down in the dumps, and I don't know how to feel better. But this has definetely brightened up my evening

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Friday, 28 February 2003 23:41 (twenty-two years ago)

Alex cheer up! We wuv you and your honoring of the eternal fwame . . . I think a NYILXFAP would cheer you up . . . and softball season is right around the corner!

― felicity (felicity), Friday, 28 February 2003 23:43 (twenty-two years ago)

Alex, despite all the fussin' and the feudin' you is still my fave Killing Joke nut. Your pics have made this little poser nut's day many a time. Hope things work out well for ya.

D. Boon would be proud.

Hey Alex is your bodega going to be different?

Yeah, but we'll be closer to Bagel Bitch....er...I mean Bagel Bob's, for whatever paltry consolation that's worth.

Sorry, I'm just wallowing in self-pity, which is never a good thing. I'd like to thank all of you folks for helping restore my cheer, which has been in desperately short supply.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Saturday, 1 March 2003 02:05 (twenty-two years ago)

Cheer, cheer is good! Smile, good sir. There will be days of rock. :-)

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Saturday, 1 March 2003 04:17 (twenty-two years ago)

my best, alexnyc. :) I know this is dumb of me to admit, but was there a thread or message I missed regarding all of this?

― donut bitch (donut), Saturday, 1 March 2003 04:33 (twenty-two years ago)

Yep....sad but true....

A doppelganger!

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Sunday, 2 March 2003 19:08 (twenty-two years ago)

Ummmmm. That's genuinely disquieting. But, I did laugh.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Sunday, 2 March 2003 20:15 (twenty-two years ago)

Alex, no birthday thread???? :((((

Happy birthday, man; may many excellent years of fire-honoring be in your future!

― Jonothong Williamsmang (ex machina), Monday, 17 October 2005 16:44 (nineteen years ago)

I think he already had his birthday. On the 13th? I can't remember.

― nathalie, a bum like you (stevie nixed), Monday, 17 October 2005 16:49 (nineteen years ago)

five years pass...

just saw this on his blog

Hi friends, followers and loyal readers. Please excuse the abrupt halt in regular postings here, but there was a death in my family quite recently, and that's obviously put everything else more or less on hold.
Stay tuned. Flaming Pablum will be back in due time.
Thanks for your continued support.

(sending good thoughts his way...)
