Here is one fan's reaction to the work: \"I feel quite compelled to write and thank you for giving us your book. Your book is beautifully written and intensely honest, it completely blew me away! ... Thank you for publishing your deepest feelings...it was a very bold and honest thing to do.\" - Christi <BLOCKQUOTE> A few brief excerpts from <B>the first pain to linger<\/B><\/FONT> <P><FONT FACE=\"TIMES\" SIZE=\"+2\"><I>susan sleepwalking #1<\/I><\/FONT><BR> she lie, soft and milk-like translucent: gorgeously curved hips and stomach still aflame \u2014as the green light slowly fades to the warm harsh glow of her sun reality. imagining that she still felt the pangs of anticipation that their night had imposed upon her. imagining that she didn\u2019t hear the questions now lingering within her thoughts; as if they might be hidden by his song, whose insistence she had long since ceased to question. \u201cIt would be presumptuous,\u201d she was convinced, \u201cto assume he loves me.\u201d him, who she never would have expected to venture this far. \u201cIt would be impossible,\u201d she knew, \u201cto define him with the simple terms by which we attempt to convey our thoughts.\u201d through these useless forms. and still, she tore herself with questions: was he angry? was he embarrassed? was he unsatisfied? and will he ever return, again? had she reacted too intellectually or had she expected too much of a reaction? a \u201cresult\u201d or an affectionate delineation of what they had exchanged between their humid souls. a clarification of the power that momentarily held her under sway. \u201cIntense,\u201d she slowly whispered, as if to capture her draining emotions. as they returned to their private isolation. \u201cIntense,\u201d she repeated . . . though quickly overcome with doubt.<\/P> <P>she sees me as intense! and i don\u2019t know what to do. she expects me to act as i desire, and i desire to crawl upon the carpet and lap her feet, because i still have strong traces of the dog within. the one who fears standing up. fears decision and boldly taking my place. she expects me to be strong, and i don\u2019t know what i expect. i fear she realizes i am unsure if i love her? i fear she sees me a hypocrite for saying \u201ci do not want sex unless it is serious . . . \u201c and then attaching no verbal significance to our actions? at first, i hated the thought of leaving. of being without her for these upcoming weeks, but now i fear returning. fear returning to my own intellectual trap. and yet i am terrified that she is with someone else. falling in love with someone else, while i\u2019m away. forgetting me, as a result of my indecision. i have a dream that my body is torn to shreds, and there is nothing i can do to control my destruction or prevent it from starting again. i\u2019m such an idiot! we lie together, and yet i can say nothing tender. we kiss so hungrily and our bodies enwrap each other so delicately; yet i fear my reaction was harsh: my confused, cold silence; my distance and words which perhaps she found merely contrived and polite? her wonderful warmth and tenderness. and me? did i reveal anything at all? no one has ever cared for me, like her. no one has ever taken such interest, with such eagerness to be involved with my life, with such compassion. she makes the effort to understand me. to search behind the facade for the truth.<\/BLOCKQUOTE><\/p>\n<p><BR><a href=\"mailto:sr.projekt@gmail.com?subject=Add%20me%20to%20the%20BlackTape,%20Projekt%20AlbumPage!\"><IMG SRC=https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-content\/uploads\/Box-Blacktapejoinus2.jpg WIDTH=400><br \/>\nClick to Join, hit send, and I&#8217;ll add you to the list. &#8211; Sam <\/p>\n<div class=\"socials\"><h2>love it, share it<\/h2><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.projekt.com%2Fstore%2Fproduct%2Fpro00063%2F&t=black+tape+for+a+blue+girl%3A+the+first+pain+to+linger+%28maxi-cd+only%29+%7E%7E+SALE+%247\" class=\"socials-small facebook-small\"  target=\"_blank\" title=\"Facebook\" >facebook<\/a>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/share?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.projekt.com%2Fstore%2Fproduct%2Fpro00063%2F&text=black+tape+for+a+blue+girl%3A+the+first+pain+to+linger+%28maxi-cd+only%29+%7E%7E+SALE+%247\" class=\"socials-small twitter-small\"  target=\"_blank\" title=\"Twitter\" >twitter<\/a>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/pinterest.com\/pin\/create\/button\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.projekt.com%2Fstore%2Fproduct%2Fpro00063%2F&media=https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-content\/uploads\/PRO00063.jpg&description=++\" class=\"socials-small pinterest-small\"  onclick=\"window.open(this.href); return false;\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Pinterest\" >pinterest<\/a>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/plus.google.com\/share?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.projekt.com%2Fstore%2Fproduct%2Fpro00063%2F&title=black+tape+for+a+blue+girl%3A+the+first+pain+to+linger+%28maxi-cd+only%29+%7E%7E+SALE+%247\" class=\"socials-small google-small\"  target=\"_blank\" title=\"Google\" >google<\/a>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blacktapeforabluegirl.bandcamp.com\/album\/the-first-pain-to-linger-maxi-cd\" TARGET=BLANK><IMG SRC=\/store\/assets\/images\/Button-Bandcamp.png width=129><\/a>  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":1121,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[54,74,25,30,98,29],"product_tag":[],"class_list":["post-1120","product","type-product","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","product_cat-all","product_cat-black-tape-for-a-blue-girl","product_cat-darkwave","product_cat-ethereal","product_cat-goth","product_cat-sale","first","instock","sale","taxable","shipping-taxable","purchasable","product-type-simple","border"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/1120","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1120"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1121"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1120"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=1120"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=1120"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=1120"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
