This was an interview I did with Lulu, but this is pretty much how all our conversations were.  Half imagined, another part just play, and then maybe a small amount of seriousness.   I wanted to write about the name David Kissel.   This was just some random persons name whom I took from a message forum I became obsessed with after the Columbine shooting.  (So I can somewhat put a time frame on this interview).  An involved discussion took place on a Denver city newspaper webforum, about violence and society.  Kissel was a participant, whose opinion was contrary to everyone else, and I don't think I agreed with it either.  So I had this idea to create a fictitious version of this person, and was experimenting with him in writing, and eventually abandoned the notion.  I guess one of the reasons I really miss Lulu, because I don't have this creative counterpart with whom I can have this playtime anymore.

btw that is her birthday, Sept 6. AFAIK.  I think she was born in 1968 as well.

She was indeed born in 1968. --[[User:Msggoat|msggoat]] 14:30, 31 July 2007 (UTC)


== Talking with Lulu ==

This interview was one piece I thought was essential to remembering Lulu. The format, hence the conversational tone, reflected her quick wit. I was so amused when I first read it, and so very simpressed, because I didn't know/had never seen that she was capable of such snappy, on-the-fly response. It left/leaves me envious because: a) I am not quick in that way; it would take me a day to put together a few lines of similar repartee, and b) my lengthy chats with her were not particularly quick or witty. I talked relationship-py, real-world girl talk with a similarly dreamy, angsty young woman. We became friends when we were both 30. --[[User:Msggoat|msggoat]] 15:08, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

== Jealousy Is Insipid ==

Lulu would tell me "jealousy is insipid".  It was a favorite saying of hers. As I recall this wasn't like a real interview, I emailed her a set of questions and she took her time to compose the responses. Not to say she wasn't sharp, she was as sharp as the dagger embedded in the pillow next to you by one of Hassan's assassins, as a warning to watch yourself.  She *would* say things like this off the cuff in a conversation.  I don't know what I'd ask her now, but it would be a completely different kind of interview, if only I could.  I keep thinking maybe she's just taking a break from things, she'll be back.  Starting to come to terms with it, and find talking/writing about this might be helping.  --[[User:Desierto|Desierto]] 09:09, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
