HEY EVERYONE!
My name is chloe hodson, and i write a zine called electricity. i have been writing it for a few years now, so maybe you have seen me before.
anyways, being busy and all i have had some trouble finding time to sell and promote the last few issues of my zine (Electricity vol.2 issues #1,2, & 3)
i was wondering if anyone had a distro i could submit to, or some ideas on how to promote with out it being so time consuming.
Thanks so much!
Chloe Hodson

My days have become a little too routine for my liking.
school, work, school, work.
im loosing my motivation in school.
i need to get away. im planning on visiting flagstaff soon, and i hope it works out and i get to.
i know a year seems like a long time, but its still all i can seem to think about. im moving to flagstaff, im moving to flagstaff, im starting my life. i have never felt soo right about something in my entire life. i am moving and it is going to be amazing.

i have never had a religion. i grew up not being told what to think. which was amazing. but this isnt to say that i haven't tried the whole church thing out. i tried to go a couple times, and the entire time i was there i felt incredibly uncomfortable. like there was an elephant in the room. and all i could think was, if these people knew i didn't believe in god, they would hate me. i have many feelings about religion. but i have sometimes wanted something to so strongly believe it. But i finally have. Intenders is my religion. I make intentions all the time, and it sometimes scares me of how often my intentions manifest.
Last night for example. At my meeting on thursday i intended to have a very eventful but fun weekend. Well last night was just that. First the show i was going to go to was sold out, carl locked his keys in his car, and 50 other things. but i look back on it, and even though lots of not so great things happened, i still had a really great time. When carl locked his keys in his car, i made the intention he would be able to open to door quickly with the coat hanger, and guess what, in less than a minute he did. I feel powerful. i sound crazy, but this feels like magic.
i intended i am doing all of my homework, laundry, and zine stuff done tomorrow!

i love this boy with all my heart. he is awkward, weird, and sometimes embarrasses me. but this boy has a heart like no one i have ever met. he is so caring, and he still can see the good in people. which touches my heart. but tonight i had a long talk with him, and i wish he could just understand somethings, that i had to learn the hard way and i fear he will too. he is still stuck in the state of mind where he is hanging out with people to be cool, well guess what, the cool people arn't always the good friends. he gives his heart to people who dont deserve it, he does more than anyone could ever ask from him and he gets nothing in return. i worry about carl, i don't like to see him letting people walk all over him. i know this because at one point in time this was me. i used to care so much about people who just ended up hurting me incredibly bad. i fear this kind of pain is in his future, and honestly its hard to watch, he is a good person, but life isnt fair, and people are not kind. i wish he could see that, and shut them out before they totally crush his spirit, because they will. i guess it is just something you don't understand until you learn it for yourself. i try to tell him, but he doesn't get it, he doesn't want to see things how they really are. but i dont blame him, who wants to think their best friend is just using them and really doesnt care about them. these are words no one ever wants to hear. carl has some hard lessons to learn in his future.
"i feel like i'm not friends with anyone i used to be"
"its called growing up, people change"
"i told myself i would never grow up"
"you cant stop the inevitable"

i recently joined a group called the intenders. it is basically is a group that meets once every two weeks. It starts off with closing your eyes while a group member tells you to invision something, its something different everytime but usually includes going to a spot in nature, it is to help you clear your mind, and take you to a place outside of your normal life, to give you a place of happiness and positive energy, and to help you escape from the bad. next you share about manifested intentions, or about things going on in your life. then you share you intentions, which includes, what you are thankful for, your intentions, and by finishing the sentance "I see a world where..." next someone shares a prepared closing, and everyone discusses it and finally we do toning which has to do with aligning your chi.
i really enjoy going every time. the group is all people who are at least my moms age or older. which at first i was unsure about, but it has turned out to be a positive thing. its helpful and really mind opening to share things with people who have experienced much more of life than i have. on top of that, everyone in the group loves me. it is really comforting having people on your side.
positive thinking is something i have always believed in. i truly believe that anything is possible, if you believe in it enough.
alwaysandforever,

lately i have been thinking a lot about how lucky i am. all the time i am thinking of more reasons to be grateful. first there is my job, i love what i do, and how the people there are more like family than co-workers. my family, the fact i have parents who are amazing and care about me so much. even though i don't like to give material objects too much importance in my life, i am very grateful and lucky for all that i have. even though i would like to think who i am is stronger than the things i own, and that i would still be the same person without them. it is to often that i forget to truly appreciate the fact i have a car and a bed to sleep in at night.
this weekend was pretty good. i rediscovered First Fridays. i haven't been in over a year, and how much it has grown is quite impressive and inspiring. im working on a minizine that i can pass out there next month. hopefully it goes over well. after strolling the streets filled with art, cody and i went to his friends party. the party itself had a good vibe, and i had a few ice cold beers, and met some pretty cool people.
always and forever,
chloehodson

i really enjoy my weekends. i have a simple day at school on friday, then a completely open afternoon, and a free day all day saturday. last night i stayed home and did some thrift store shopping. today i slept in. then some more shopping for material and frames. I hung out with kate. Who i have known for my entire life. i like seeing people i have known for a while, how they grow and change. Kate also is a very successful person, she accomplishes goals, which is good motivation. Next i hung out with john. who is hilarious. we had coffee at a vegan cafe in tempe, just lovely. then i had dinner with kyle and kelsey. who are two people who have always been on my side.
on the way home it started to rain, i love the sound, the way it makes the city look at night. making everything reflect light.

i dont think people understand the power of our minds.
did you know if you believe in something enough it happens.
did you ever realize the only people who see aliens
are the ones who really believe in it?
think of what we could accomplish if people just realized it
all depends on what you think is possible.
we need to start believeing.
i believe.

There was this one night night last summer, when we talked for hours. Together we sat and watched the sun sink from the sky. We joked, and renacted silly moments. We talked about funny memories. I had a smile on so big that you could see all of my teeth and laughing so hard that my stomache would ache. When it became dark he held my hand, he held it tight, not tight enough to hurt, but so much that i felt security. I got tired and rest my head on his shoulder, and he told me things that no one ever had before. i hugged him goodnight, and he told me that he would never let me go.
When i walked inside, i realized my cheeks hurt from smileing all day. Kind of like it hurt when i later found out he had let go, without thinking twice.

maybe it was like before this point i didnt understand what my dad having cancer really ment. its not that i didnt know, i just didnt want to accept it, and it never felt real. but listening to my dad up all night throwing up from the chemo, having to go to the hospital very early in the morning cuz his temperature is out of control, and he is loosing his hair. its finally real. i always just assumed he was going to be okay, i mean, he is my dad. and now that there is a chance he might not make it, and to tell you the truth im scared out of my mind. im very hesitant about the whole thing. im not really sure what im supposed to do. i want to help my dad, but im not really supposed to be around him, cuz im feeling a bit sick and his white blood cell count is very low, so he shouldnt be around germs. it scares me to look at my dad, even to talk to him. i have never seen him like this. and i really dont like people asking me how he is. its nice that people care, but it makes me want to cry. whenever anyone says anything about it i feel like bursting out crying. before i was fine, but now, im very sensative about the whole thing. also when they ask how he is, im not sure what im supposed to say. i have never really expirienced cancer like this, so im not sure if this is good. because to me its horrible. i dont really like to talk to people about this. i dont know what to say. so im really happy for livejournal right now. it feels good to get things off my chest. that i just couldnt handle saying.
