Which Reminds Me

Yes, I vaguely remember hearing something about Kenton Stone, so I looked around and found his one and only book, fallen within the category of literary criticism, analyzing some boring Uruguayan author, the country where he lived for a number of years. I only remember him from when I was 8 years old, so it is sort of annoying to be mistaken for his little sister, who has no choice of brotherhood. She is stuck with that, whereas I can more or less explain how I do not remember those people either. How dare they pretend to attend my high school in El Salvador,  leveraging their distant cousin Anita Stone, who I remember as a pompous arrogant snob. It is not like Stone is ever going to have any other place in my life. And he is not even properly Spanish, when that is only his Spanish language, not really his cause, only observed from the viewpoint of a native English speaker, as someone online was saying. So you may have your Ph.D. in Spanish and yet not be widely accepted due to an obsessive preoccupation with your own personal idiosyncrasies and beer bottle parasites. 

 Oh, did I read somewhere that he received a grant to help fund his writing? But then if he bombs it will not be so easy the next time around to get any grant funding for just another boring mishmash of whatever Spanish literature. Technology has progressed greatly in 200 years.

Which Reminds Me

Yes, I vaguely remember that I did not make it past the three-month probation for the telemarketing job in Virginia Beach. The person who laid me off said that I had not met the sales quota so there was nothing more to say about that. There was another guy working there who succeeded and he saw me at school and was talking about that and suggesting that maybe I did something wrong, which I cannot imagine how that could happen. All I ever did was read the script so they could not be complaining about that. The only other thing that I can think of is that I failed to buy the crystal thing that was offerd for sale during a break time. But there was no remedy for that. We were as grass that quickly fades and is shoveled into the fire, as the Psalm says. 

Weird that I would be getting mail about that years later, from Ed or whoever that was, attempting to reconfigure the story.

Which Reminds Me

Yes, that was Carol's idea to assemble all her friends who live on that block to have a party in the driveway at the front her house. I never would have thought of that myself, but there is a certain type of logic to that, come to think of it, even if a sort of useless and un productive point. But not much can be expected from them, as experience has shown. This is the type of thing that happens when we rely entirely on them  to have our best interests in mind, when actually  their only thought is to blow up white people.

Which Reminds Me

Yes, I vaguely remember McLemore as being a lower classmen when I was a college senior. What happened to her later is a mystery that I cannot explain. 

Sometimes people write surprisingly nice things in my yearbook when I had no idea they thought of me at all. Or maybe some people would rather not write things in my yearbook so, OK, fine, I do not want them to be stressed about what to say there, whether good or bad. 

Which Reminds Me

Yes, I did think that was sort of rude, Wilson expecting me to explain away his own Persian cousins, as if I even knew they were all related until they said that. And I cannot even talk about my own family in a public way without tripping on my tongue, so what could I possibly say about them? Nothing actually.

Which Reminds Me

Yes, I have other things on my mind than to fill in the blanks of your fictional police report. If I had known you were putting up that fiction, I never would have gone there, but anyway, your lies have no hold on me. 

Which Reminds Me

Yes, and then there was the question of how is Evangelina Sol related to Rose Wilson, but you will not find any answers to those questions in me. I have no idea of the Sol-Wilson connections, beyond probably they know who they are.
