and i remember when it came out and she wrote this it kinda sealed her place in my pantheon. not so coincidentally i've met both of my favorites (the other is delany) to the same reaction. i had prepared all these things that i wanted to tell them about the powerful impact their writing had on my life. then a couple of choice questions that showed i actually really knew their work not just casually. then i meet them face to face and i go fucking speechless. hand them a book which they sign, and all i say is thank you.

mind you that isn't like me at all. i'm an introvert but not afraid to talk when i have something to say. but in the context it just seemed silly for me to say anything. only other time that's happened was with cassandra wilson.
