Jack Marsh (2005), Friendship Otherwise - Toward a Levinasian Description of Personal Friendship

#saw carnation lily lily rose by john singer seargent irl today. it was basically at my doorstep all along idk why i never went to see it #it was placed at a corner in the gallery. me and my friend sat down and sketched the paintings of beautiful naked people quite badly. paper #provided by tate britain. she told me about how she couldnt look her boyfriend in the face after a harrowing film about war. when i say the #interview was informal i mean the person who was supposed to be my boss told me let me get you a cider and then he said after #50 years of life he knows people are inherently good and it only takes a little bit of kindness to save this world. he said he tricked #his wife into keeping the baby and then he said he quit his job at a US bank to help people find meaning and in it #he would have liked to find meaning. instead he started climbing with his friends. he said he chews his cigarettes because its a habit from #when he had to hide things from people. the entire time i felt uncomfortable and incredibly enlightened. this is my friends mentor. she has #his pattern of pauses and expletive and penchant for ends-justify-means attitude. i do think im not very clever #but maybe one day i will love you enough to make up for it. i wrote code i dont understand staring at the final error i thought about how #we both thought of how when we're too old to remember the voices of our friends we would like to stand in the pathway of the LHC beam pipe #cut it open and eat light in the freezing cold vacuum (kills you long before radiation will) the invisible puncture wound unfolding dna #back to the start larger than you ever were. you go to heaven once youve been to hell. my friend is in my bed #practicing calculations of eigenvectors by hand and she is uninterested in a visual proof you are uninterested in incompetence #we catch a train this is your kind of burden you tragic hero wincing at that word you only do this because you have to. im the only one #who can. i am a coward in this for the fucking poetry. the visual proofs. the pretty numbers. an architect who was horrible at maths wanted #to be a philosopher and accidentally ended up neck in deep in 70th Error On Visual Studio Code i want to kiss your eyes before we say #goodbye we both know there is no love in the way there should be. I still have your dress in my wardrobe. i hope you make art.#you think im alright head-wise i think you fucking hate me i think ill never be so clever you want me to tell you my idea?#if you wanted more of this world i would have liked to kiss you harder. we cant both be like this. im sorry i cant be with you the whole wa #the love is gone if you have to ask it. his breath catches his eyes feel stiff it is -1.9 kelvin he is near the beam pipe i miss holding #his hand i miss her singing voice i miss his hair and i found the antonym of pain thank you for carrying me home.

I booked a ticket for an 11:50am train on Monday, that was set to arrive in Portland, Maine at 2:20pm. When I woke up, my bed was shaking from the rain and hurricane speed gusts pounding my walls. It's only a 10 minute walk to the orange line, with a direct train to North Station, but it was raining so hard I wasn't sure I could make it. I was about to call an Uber to the train station because I didn't think the weather was passable, when the rain let up. Seeing a window, I rushed to the station. I made it up my street, eventually, with my massive, heavy suitcase and tote bag. I had to stop a few times because while the rain let up, the wind did not, and at times it was so strong I simply could not move against it.

I made it to the Amtrak station with enough time to buy breakfast at Dunkin' Donuts, which proved to be fortuitous. They announced my train was delayed 40 minutes, though the board said 35 minutes at first and then finally updated. I got my laptop out to look for more information. They started boarding the train less than 40 minutes after it would normally have boarded and without announcing it, causing me to rush to the platform without stowing my laptop and still juggling my coffee. I made it safely to the train. Onboard, they told is to expect further delays.

We waited for a bit on the outskirts of the city, then started moving again. Sometime after the first station stop, our train stopped. They announced there was a power line on the track up ahead. We waited for a while, then were informed the line could not be cleared until 8 or 9pm at the earliest, and they were returning us to the station stop in Haverhill, where we would get more information about our options. They said no buses were available. On our way there, they announced they would take us all the way back to Boston. A little later, they announced they had found buses, which would take us to Exeter, New Hampshire, where we could get back on a train that had been stuck on that side of the downed power line and continue on to the rest of the stops. Our buses were set to leave shortly after 3:45, so they could also take passengers from the 3:45pm train. We left about 3:55 and spent a while in traffic leaving Boston. My bus had also recently been a green line shuttle and still said green line, which made me nervous.

From this point on, my journey was failure smooth. The transfer to the train in Exeter was very fast. I cannot say enough about the Amtrak staff who were incredibly kind and helpful. I was on track to arrive in Portland at 7:20pm. I was, at this point, having a better day than the rest of my family.

Throughout all of this, I am staying in touch with my dad who's supposed to pick me up, and learn from him that 1) there is no power at my parents' house and 2) the pump failed and the basement is flooding. Meanwhile, my mom, who was returning from visiting my grandmother in Tennessee, made it to Philadelphia and learned her connecting flight to Portland was delayed. She eventually boarded the flight, and told us it was supposed to land at 5:15. By around 6pm, my texts were still not being opened, and I was starting to become concerned, when she was finally able to text again and told us she was in Manchester, to which I replied "...New Hampshire?"

Indeed, it was New Hampshire. The pilot had done three go-arounds trying to land in Portland, but was unable to do so safely due to the weather. It was a small plane, and the weather was very rough, and apparently the plane was sideways at one point. Finally, the pilot diverted to Manchester and landed safely there. At this point, my sibling had picked me up from the train station, and we were waiting in Portland. The weather improved and the pilot got clearance to go back to Portland, but first had to wait for refueling. We finally collected my mom and went home to eat grocery store sushi for dinner at 10pm in our cold, dark house. This was a surprise for my dad who we lost contact with after his phone finally ran out of battery.

We were able to borrow a generator to get a new pump running and begin pumping out the basement. We finally got power back around 8pm on Tuesday. The furnace is in the basement and is still drying, but we have space heaters and separate heaters in a couple attached parts of the house.

Also my mom had to go to work today, without being able to take a shower because we had no hot water, and less than 24 hours after being tossed around in an airplane. On the plus side, her office had electricity. There's flooding all over, tons of roads are closed, and temperatures are dropping below freezing. But we have power now so I'm pretty happy!

#we were making plans to keep the pipes from freezing if we didn't have power #5 hour delay and bus detour and yet the train was STILL the better option over air travel in all of this

Not to be a damaged Californian but it's wild to me that in other places you can just like. go to a river or a lake. and hang out there. and swim around. and that's just allowed and encouraged. What the fuck.

#i know we have the ocean but you gotta understand that you don't really go to the ocean in California. you go to the beach.#and when you are in the ocean it is usually a fight all the way. it's freezing and salty and will bowl you over.#to be clear i love that but also like. sometimes i just want a swimming pool experience but not at a fucking pool.#i have been in a california freshwater body twice in my whole life.#if you had lake access you were rich enough to own and haul a boat.#like that was so foreign that I told my dad at like 15 that I was gonna buy him a boat when i sold my first book. this was a PIPE DREAM.#(i do intend to deliver on that promise if i ever sell a fucking book btw. i will do it.#my dad is great and he deserves a boat on which to fish!!!)

Temps below freezing for the next 4 days down here and I was HOPING we wouldn't get any precipitation, but Guess What X| X| X|

Power and gas are still fine, it was just the snow-equivalent of a drizzle I guess tho that's still enough to make the roads etc icy, and I haven't heard anything about that changing yet, but it's still worrisome/annoying >_< >_<

It's uh.

It's fucking cold.

#Tomorrow morning it'll be a real feel of 4 degrees in Texas #This is absurd #Cross your fingers for me that my pipes stay safe and nothing freezes #Texas homes are extremely poorly insulated against the cold so we got a drafty place here

Power just came back on after 16 hours. It is 15 degrees outside and 53 degrees inside, but I get to sleep in my own bed. I am very grateful they got it fixed tonight because the high tomorrow is 4.

#my cats may have been forced to *shudder* socialize with each other #though the fact we have all the faucets dripping to keep the pipes from freezing is the best thing that's ever happened to Molly #self #2024

cold weather people: do you have blankets you prefer during winter? i don't want a heating blanket but if anyone has suggestions for a brand/material they like that insulates body heat well i welcome them

#i am a freak who does not like using central heat #so mine is set to like 55-60 usually just to keep the pipes from freezing #and it's fine but i do get cold in the middle of the night usually

Really?!?!

We moved to Delaware from PA in 2020. One of the very first things we noticed is that is never really gets as cold here as it does in PA. Winters in DE are mild with no snow. In PA, it wasn't uncommon to have temps in the single digits and windchills below 0.

Our new home uses propane for heat. When we moved in, we didn't even think about having to get the tank filled, since it was still in the 60s here at night. Boy, we were wrong.

Last night's temp sank to 33. There were frost warnings, and the house got cold. Even I was cold which almost never happens. @helly-watermelonsmellinfellon froze her arse off on the floor.

The problem? We don't have the money to fill the propane tank. It's 124 lb tank at $2.27 per gallon. The landlord stressed to Dave last week that we need to get the heat going because the pipes may burst if we don't. Apparently, the last people that lived here destroyed the place and never had heat, so all the pipes burst.

The propane company will not bills us. They want to money at the time of delivery. Neither myself nor Dave have good enough credit. So, we're screwed again.

We could use some help. Tonight's temp is going to be below freezing. We need to get the propane asap.
