pondering: view from the outside
i&#8217;ve been thinking a lot lately (and have had a few conversations) about perspective, specifically focused on ways in which we are blind to things and on how others see us. because the latter of those topics occasionally turns to talking about what it will be like when i achieve my [...]]]></description>

		<title>what was, what will be</title>
		<description><![CDATA[i may be reading amanda palmer&#8217;s blog too much, as i&#8217;m feeling like sharing a lot. i think this is a naturally thoughtful time of year for many people. we look back on what was, we contemplate what we hope will be. and that&#8217;s where i am right now.
2009
what a year. good and bad. i [...]]]></description>

		<title>best friend (lyrics hint)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[i know i refuse to explain my lyrics. but this is more a necessary disclaimer.
just in case the lyrics &#8220;best friend&#8221; become a song (hey, there are so many lyrics at this point that it is, actually, questionable)&#8230;.
i want to be very, very, very clear.
i want there to be no doubt.
these lyrics were absolutely not [...]]]></description>

		<title>where is my mind?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[i thought it was probably time i did an update on what&#8217;s going on with the band and some of my current topics of thought about music and moving ahead. you can keep up with some of this by following varnish on myspace or facebook, and i&#8217;ll post much more frequently to the twitter if [...]]]></description>

		<title>truth in music</title>
		<description><![CDATA[a quick one. a small thought or two. though i&#8217;m also mentally composing a longer post on the state of the band and such (good things).
i&#8217;ve been thinking about music as a vehicle for truths we can&#8217;t tell.
anyone who knows me can tell you that, in general, i will say what i think. i&#8217;ll try [...]]]></description>

		<title>manic monday</title>
		<description><![CDATA[it&#8217;s 13 october. yes, it has taken me three weeks to finally post, and it&#8217;s likely to be less than what i intended because i am feeling a bit silly over what a fangirl i am. so i&#8217;ll start with a picture. (i ought to have more of those anyway.)

		<title>ponder: rest</title>
		<description><![CDATA[i keep running across the concept of rest in different contexts. i&#8217;m not sure i have anything deep to say, but you’re all learning that i like to talk about it when things get thematic in my life. so i figure i’ll just start listing “rest” concepts and see where that takes us. oooo! a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[fair warning: this is long and i don’t feel like breaking it up (har har) into multiple posts.
got breaking up on the brain. whilst i’m not planning to break up with anyone just now, i have friends at points all along both sides of the breaking up spectrum. on the one side, you’ve got everything [...]]]></description>

		<title>where do lyrics come from?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[with history now briefly covered, and a few pondering posts to test out how i like pondering on here, it&#8217;s time to get back to music as a current topic. kind of.
as many have learned, i&#8217;m not really planning to explain my lyrics to anyone. i can&#8217;t tell you the number of times jason has [...]]]></description>
