I have started getting naked with a really awesome girl
Sorry dude. How edgy of me going on in graphic detail about what I have done with the girl. I mean "naked"? How scandalous.
Darn kids, get off my lawn!

I am probably going to buy a longboard skateboard after I move up to Alaska. I have been looking at Sector Nine boards and they seem pretty legit. But if there is something else I should consider, plz 2 let me know.

I am going to be suspended from school.
Yeah but see, my grades are good, I am totally engaged in my school, and absolutely don't want to not be taking classes. I took my time off before starting school, and definitely don't feel the need to take any more time off. Plus, there's no way I'd want to go anywhere else, I'd have to take more than one class at once and couldn't go bouldering after lunch every day. I just got arrested while on campus and the school is all agro about it.So they let you do that at the Springs campus but at the Boulder campus they wouldn't?
Fuckers.
Sorry est, I had to change the name of the thread again.
Had to.
Oh my word I have an exam on Tuesday and on Friday and on the Tuesday after that and I (feel like I) know more or less nothing...the exam on Friday has a fairly big say in whether or not I am doing honours English lit and that is terrifying because sometimes I am not really sure if I am cut out for English Lit/academia but other times I am all "Hey this is awesome and totally what I want to be doing".
Basically I am stressing out a little bit over an exam that I should be able to pass even though I probably haven't put enough work in but mostly I am stressing out because I feel like if I don't put in the work I maybe shouldn't be doing the course.

Oh, man, I know what you can do. I was watching Planet Earth, and David Attenborough explained how kangaroos in the Australian desert keep cool. Their techniques are very effective! Maybe they'll work for you, too.
They lick their arms and dig beneath the first layer of dirt and lay in little holes they've dug in the shade. But be careful, because that can deplete your fluid supplies! Make frequent trips to the watering hole (or, if you're particularly desperate, you can eat cactus flowers).
(you work at home, right?).
Dear Blog thread,
Today I read the boring thread and was bored.
Love, fatty.
I would have gone with "Blog Thread 2: Electric Boogaloo"
Is the rest of him vindictive? Or just the hand?
Shit. Anyone know how to pitch stories to a newspaper? 'Cause I really need to know by tomorrow.
Wait but Elvis Costello is good music.
Dear blog thread, last night I broke an ex-friend's nose. I can't wait to get out of this shithole town and most of the people in it.Dear Bloggery:

We have been having the 2nd largest blackout in the history of the state this last week. My house is without power and has been since Wednesday morning. I am staying with my house mate's folks. Which is actually not too bad, because they have a nice house and plenty of room for us. Still, I hope my house gets power back soon.
Dear Bloggy Downey Jr. II,
My girlfirend and I broke up. Also, I no longer have a job.
Oddly enough, I genuinely believe both of these things are for the best in the long term and I'm not really worried about things. Well, the break up is/was pretty terrible but honestly we both made each other miserable towards the end so it was kind of a mutual agreement that shit wasn't getting any better. Or at least that's what I keep telling myself. Um.
Warm regards,
-Nick.
Oh Nick, that sucks! it was like that with me and Loxley except I was the only miserable one and it wasn't mutual in anyway at all!
HUGS!

Just go over to her place without any pants on. Tell her that the time has come, and have wild sex for like 8 hours straight.
That's a lie. Romance and weird stuff leads you to being suicidally depressed.
I suggest you try it if you think it is so dandy.
If that were true then The Princess Bride would not be the best story ever told which is, quite clearly, inconceivable.
If that were true then The Princess Bride would not be the best story ever told which is, quite clearly, inconceivable.
The Princess Bride is a work of fiction. Works of fiction often lie to us. They often lead us to believe that life is meant to be a particular way, full of romance and weirdness, when in fact life is very often not like that at all. Then sometimes we get depressed because our life is not what we've been led to believe life is meant to be like.
Sometimes being grown-up means saying goodbye to romance and weird stuff. Maybe that sucks, but maybe it means you're ready to stop messing around with silly stuff and engage with your life on a deeper and more honest and fulfilling level, too. Maybe.
In any case, don't confuse life and fiction. Only bad things will happen.
b)stop reading so much. I fucking romantisize everything. I blame this on reading more often than I breathe.

Actually, once a friend of mine left a message on my phone that was composed of ambient jungle noises. It was pretty great.
I had a dream in which the day came when troupes of actors were slaughtered by their understudies, magicians sawn in half by indefatigably smiling glamour girls, cricket teams wiped out by marauding bands of twelfth men and an army of assistants and deputies, the seconds-in-command, the runners up, the right-hand men stormed palace gates rising above their superiors or supposed betters to show that they do in fact count.

I weep for humanity sometimes. This woman had a husband and a kid. That kid is going to grow up thinking that Beowulf is a rip off of fucking 300. Sigh.They're both bad movies based on much older stories, I don't see what's so 'I weep for humanity' about that.
(p.s. I got moderately excited because I thought you had the same birthday as me, but then I realised you're probably still in yesterday, and I'm in today.)

So, it just so happened that on the local forums for my community, they were ripping on the local band director, a close friend of mine, and one of my greatest mentors. With no information about him. It really pisses me off that people would do. One incident that they know barely anything about led to the bashing of a great teacher. This happened a couple months ago and led to the firing of two of the best teachers at my high school. Arg.

I know I am pretty late, but I thought 300 was a really good movie.
For example, look at texting. People spell words "incorrectly" when texting, but a lot of the times those abreviations are intentional and internally consistent; in order to effectively use text messaging shorthand you need a certain basic understanding of language to begin with or else your message won't be clear; the thought process is closer to creating your own pidgin on the fly rather than simply babbling.

Holy shit dude this hit so close to home you don't even know.
I mean, I'm not sure if any of the people I've ever been in love with are or have ever been actually lesbian, but the mindset this post conveys was mine for about a year (in fact it was more or less exactly a year ago that that period ended).
Things will get better.
now I know that is true even if she is drunk.
My sortof forced interblags hiatus begins tomorrow, as I will be leaving D.C. and travelling onward to Alaska, where I will not have my laptop (it broke again a couple weeks ago) and even if I did I would not have internet in my apartment.

Why? I'm not sure I could ever sue my parents.
Bobbit (my housemate) took me to a bar I had never been to and it turns out that a bunch of cool alternative kids hang out there I guess. And there was this cute kind of metal-heady looking dude with pretty ringlets and a lip ring and we started talking about chickens and and kitties that we owned/had owned, and how it was illegal to keep goats on the beach without a permit (apparently) and whatnot
So today I went out for lunch with my best friend. She told me she is moving away in a month, but that she will be in the state. Last time we saw each other I was fairly distressed by our interactions but this time around I think we really clarified some things and got things even again. However, she refused to tell me where exactly she was moving to, because she did not want that information getting out.So, uh, update on this I suppose. Had dinner and went out with one of the other friends, and we sort of talked about this situation though I did not divulge my knowledge of my best friend's whereabouts or activities. This friend, she'll be called the Artist, as the overuse of "friend" is bound to just get confusing. She is one of my favorite people, and it seemed like whatever was going on (still not quite clear on that point) was really bothering, like, she was trying not to cry. And this bothered me. My best friend had warned me that Artist and her partner would be telling untruths about her, but Artist is so... well, I've never known her to be spiteful. She's flighty and usually quite upbeat but she's human and I wouldn't put it past her to be petty.
As it stands it's a bit complicated. She's supposed to be "out of town" at the moment. There's a whole lot of drama going on between her and two of my other best friends, both of whom I met through my best friend. They are not on speaking terms. And I am not to inform my other friends of my meeting with my best friend, or her / our plans. Which I'm fine with, I'd trust my best friend with my life (not that I'd ever really want to be in that position, heh) and last time I saw her I tried to resolve all this drama. But I am no mediator, all the people involved are adults and I don't need anyone pissed off at me.
At least now I know what my next big purchase is: Darkroom equipment. I am reluctant to spend a lot of money on it before Chicagocon though, maybe I could pick up an enlarger in Chicago?

Dear Blog thread,
When I see my girlfriend and think of valentines day approaching I think two things. First I think to myself how it would be great to plan something out real romantic like a fancy dinner and possibly take her to a live theatre(which doesn't exist around here). Maybe afterwards I could get some massage oil and give her a good old fassion back massage and give her some flowers too. You know be real nice to her....
But then I remember that's going to cut into my beer fund. So i'll just tell her I have the flu and that she's pretty or something.
Dear Blog Thread,
Is it so hard for people to take a joke over the internet? I know it all serious and everything, but can't there be some exception to this?

I hit my girlfriend last night....I may actually be domestically abusing my girlfriend.

Further cementing your image as an absolute fucking asshole.
1. forget that it's valentines day
2. remember a week later while buying groceries, gorge myself on discount chocolate
3. awesome
I do this for easter too. And occasionally halloween.
p.s. tania you posted when I wanted to post and interrupted the flow but now I think the best idea is to invent a new religion where everything is shift a week later so everything can be bought discount on sale!
Now I just need the LDS.
Two women? I was under the impression that the spending-a-year-riding-a-bike-and-spreading-the-Word-of-the-Lord aspect was a male LDS thing. Am I misinformed?

Am I misinformed?The new model LDS now allows women to represent them, at least as far as evangelizing is concerned. I've known mormon girls who've gone on missions overseas.
Well, my roommate and I got our first gas bill for our apartment and it was $250! This isn't even including electricity! We're pretty sure that either our landlord put the bill for the entire time that the apartment was vacant on our account, or we're being charged for multiple apartments. Either way, bitches gonna pay.
I had just gotten up and was in the middle of cooking some lunch, so I came to the door topless holding a big chef's knife. I said hi, they said hi and asked if I was James, I said yes, they asked if they could talk to me or if this was a bad time and I said it was probably a bad time and then no one ever came here again.
Most of that is probably the deposit which goes toward your last month's payment and you are refunded the difference.Unfortunately, it isn't. We already paid a $250 deposit, so actually our first bill was $500, but they credited us $250 for the deposit.
My mother always invited Jehovah's Witnesses in - she felt she had a sacred duty to try to convert them to the proper church. I tried arguing with them once - each time they produced a biblical quote, I compared it with three other translations as a debating point; it didn't get me anywhere, so I've never tried again.Yeah, they like their biblical quotes....even if they actually have nothing to do with what you are arguing. Sometimes they seem like the telemarketers who are given a script and have no idea what to do when someone moves away from it.
so i just moved into a new house and get this: it came with not one, but two rope swings already installed!I am insanely jealous of you.
i wish they would go bother someone else instead.

See: my post shortly above yours.
Jonas, did you get the pictures I emailed you? Just let me know, and I can cross it of my mental to-do-list.
Today, I had my English class. I was supposed to read The Picture of Dorian Gray for it, but I lost the book and although I looked for it for half an hour in my tiny room, I couldn't find it again for the life of me. So I went to the lecturer before class and explained the situation to him, and he looked me up and down and said, "yeah, your book is actually in your pants." And there it was, sticking out of my pants. I don't normally store my books in my pants, but I brought it to the kitchen with me to read while eating, and then I wanted to put it down at some point but couldn't because all surfaces were sticky and wet so I just stuck it in my pants instead. And I forgot about it and just walked about with a book sticking out of my pants. That sort of explains the looks I got today. I don't know whether my professor now thinks I was being cheeky or if he thinks I'm a huge idiot and I'm not sure which would be preferable.
This kind of stuff happens to me like all the time. I was voted "crazy professor" in high school. I decided to laugh about it though and not put my head through a wall.
Yeah, I kind of can't stop laughing at that now. I feel moderately silly, but I needed the laughs today!amazing story
This is an amazing story.
James, will you be my Valentine's date?
EDIT: it's always hard when the people who are always helpers are in the hospital because they are so reluctant to ask for or except help from others. I can see myself falling in to that trap. I hope that, when I become in need of help from my community, I will have the courage to ask for it and accept it.
My housemate just got back to Melbourne from her parents' place in country Victoria today. She went up there on Friday, and then when the fires hit on Saturday she stayed up there to help out. One of the towns that was destroyed by the fires was only 20 minutes away, she told me, from where she was.
Needless to say I'm incredibly relieved that she's back and safe. I've been worried all week.
Onewheelwizard, are you going to Burning Man this year or have you ever been there? I'm seriously considering going, I'd love to hear more about it!
Fuck them all.
Fuck them all.
Yes, please.
Fuck them all.
Inglorious bastards.
When I say "fuck them all" it roughly translates to "all men can die."
man this is a double standard that bugs me a little bit to be honest. there are a lot of very decent guys. would be be alright if a guy came in here and said something along the lines of "fuck all women, they can all die"? but if no one else is bothered then whatever i guess.
Do I deserve this though?
I can't breathe, and I don't want to be at work right now.
It is a pretty silly double standard.
I know that there is prejudice and ignorance hidden in that post but it's too vague to be defined. It sets off warning flags but I don't know which ones.
It is OK to say that you hate all men in the same way in that it is OK to say you hate Whitey. It doesn't matter if someone hates us because we fucking run shit.
Plans for Valentines day.
1. Get drunk at bar.
2. talk to girls.
3. ??????
4. Profit.
Hi bloggles!
So I guess I have a date tomorrow night? Cute boy from the bar and I are going to see the worst movie we can find that isn't Twilight and make fun of it together. I have cast my vote for some kind of pickaxe murdery gore horror called My Bloody Valentine that just looks so amazingly bad!
Holy shit guys, Yao Ming (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yao_Ming) is really fucking tall in person. And very intimidating because of his height. It doesn't matter that he is smiling, he is still super intimidating. I handed him keys. I told him his room number and check out date and I felt just a little bit scared. But, honestly, I was smiling really wide at the fact that I was handing keys to a motherfucking professional basketball player who is a giant. Dude is nice too.
Why aren't you going to see Changling with your boy Jodie, it is the best choice.
Or at least go to the classic cinema and see some James Dean or some shit, fuck he's hella sexier than Angelina Jolie and you know it.
The shockingly pinkness
Dear blugghr
Today we painted the walls in the girls locker room pink. They painted ours light blue. This is because the people who are supposed to do that are lazy bastards and we wouldn't bother to wait any more. The shockingly pinkness of a completely pink room is quite fun.
Dear Blog Thread,
Today my significant other messaged me about her fish tank breaking. I asked her how. She said she had to move it and it cracked and broke. Which I responded, "so you didn't remove the water first?". I should of worded it better but it's what came to mind. After letting me know I failed at that response she continued to go on about how she wanted to start crying because of the mess. So to keep her from crying I decided to give her this response, "Why cry like a baby when something bad happens, learn from your mistake and move forward". She quickly hinted to me how i'm not getting anything this weekend. I began to cry.
Last night I went out to see Jolie Holland perform. It was pretty good.
Oh my god I am a massive whore and probably a bad person but I don't care because I have one of the most fucked up Valentine's day stories that I have ever heard (It is hella personal and so I cannot get into details but it is some crazy shit)
I either need more straight single friends or I should just become gay. I don't know.Linds you don't have to be gay to have a bunch of gay friends. Take it from me!
You've been a shit fuck of a year so far, 2009.
fucking their girlfriends 24/7
For Valentine's Day, my girlfriend sent me a package of custom M&M's with the messages "Han shot first" and "You are my Han" printed on them.
You've been a shit fuck of a year so far, 2009.We all hope you are doing well.

but I think it's probably a good idea to text her/him too. It's not insensitive at all, your friend will probably be glad to know you are there for them no matter what media you use to let them know through.
I am now a legitimate Reason user. Look at me, all respectable like.
This time next week I shall be putting a DONK on it so hard.
so since my internet provider screwed up somewhere, every single house on my street now has no internet or cable or phone line or any connection to the outside world basically. i don't own a cell phone. i am trying to make plans for tonight. this is pretty stupid. i walked over to a payphone just to call them and figure out what the hell was going on and the representative explained the situation and ended with "um, we don't really know when you'll have any of those things back, thank you for choosing rogers!" and i kind of wanted to strangle him through the phone. except, well i know it isn't personally his fault but basically i have had shitty service with this provider for basically ever and it is really difficult to go about daily life when you every so often, sporadically and for no apparant reason, stop having any internet or phone line for several days at a time and also you have no cell phone and i don't know why the people i have lived with keep insisting we use rogers because damnit, my sanity.Young people are supposed to have cell phones you luddite
Is it piri-piri flavoured?
He has a number of tatoos, including one of the word 'hydrogen' on his neck.
I mean, I should probably go to the professor and let him know, but it's clear this guy has something going on, and I don't want to make his life any more difficult than it has to be. But, at the same time, it's pretty clear that he's intimidating other people in the class, and preventing them from participating or enjoying what we do as much as they could.
but for some reason I keep coming back to thinking of linguistics as the sort of thing a far-right intellectual would study. Purity of language, heavy nostalgia factor, all that.

Emaline if its any consolation I just want to die at various points in my life so I have to stop worrying about everything and everyone and can just get on with the business of being nothing, it will be a darn sight more fun than what I am up to at the moment. Also Congratulations on kicking arse with chun li.
I haven't thrown up since Christmas 1999.
Do you think maybe I am eligible for some kind of world record?
Just got a D on my Ethics midterm. That was the class I was most confident about.
it looks like I will not get the job and continue having relatively low paying mindless jobs.
The coolest thing is that when either of us gets laid elsewhere, there is no awkward silence or hidden resentment. There is a high-five.
I have Dawn of War 2.
I would like to give you guys an unbiased and well-considered summary of my impressions from playing it last night, but it would just boil down to my inner Space Marine posting things like "HERESY GROWS FROM IDLENESS."
God, I fucking love Warhammer.
Be careful if you're going to bring building management into it. You could be labeled a narc and disallowed from sitting at the Cool Kids' Table. Also you won't be invited to any keggers that guy hosts. I do hope you can live with those consequences.
One other possibility, one I know from experience, is that this guy could be functionally retarded. I worked with a guy who had Reye's Syndrome (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reye%27s_syndrome) as a high schooler and he would just fuckin' blast the same Garth Brooks song, every morning at 6 AM, until 10 AM or so. So make sure this guy can help it before you start getting up in his shit.

Emaline, there is nothing sexier than female bassists. I do not know why, but it is absolute truth.

Guys, should I go ride my bike and smoke?
Elaborate.I spent 3 fucking hours answering ninety questions, 90 questions, many of which were almost identical to each other, it was pretty much the worst thing I've ever done.
I just wrote a 3500 word essay in three hours, and it's worth maybe five percent of my degree? I am a fucking NINJA at artificially imposed deadlines.
I know its not a huge word limit but that is still a pretty pitiful percentage unless the essay topic was "look out the window and write about what you see"It is meant to be the culmination of four years work and there are about eight other essays that count for it as well as maybe ten exams over the course of two years? I think it's a fairly huge whack to be getting for, what, three hours work.
Given that it is the first week of semester have a mental outline already prepared for my 3000 word final essay for a subject, that compares the use of time travel in Back To The Future with that in The Time Travellers Wife, and am only some illegal substances and a few hours away from 40% of the entire subject, no I do not think that is a massive amount for three hours work.That's one course for one semester. How many courses will you do in your whole degree? This essay is five percent of four years work, because my college is ridiculously old-fashioned and doesn't like the concept of semesters or credits or indeed telling you how much things are worth up front.
Thank you arts degree, I knew there was an awesome upside to you.
In that case I highly, highly, highly, highly recommend bringing protection.

I just want to be clear here: the 3 to 1 chick to dude ratio is the good part, right?
Brett, you better mention that they effectively erased Jenny from existence in BttF2 and didn't even notice, the motherfuckers.
"Tell us your name and something interesting about yourself"
"Hi, my name is Hannah and, uh, I like books?"
Maybe I will just say "Hi my name is Hannah and I am a cyborg" That will help me make friends, right? right?
Sorry guys, I love Back to the Future and all but every time you write "BttF2" I just can't help but auto-read it as "Butt Fuck 2".Man, the third one was pretty shitty.

Dear jerk thread. I am feeling really really down, and now I can't even order a pizza because there's no fucking places close enough to even deliver.I've actually found that eating really greasy stuff tends to worsen my moods.
but still have no idea how to really match wine apart from the red meat = red wine, white meat/seafood = white wine thing, which I have been assured is by no means a hard and fast rule.Also, remember that having red wine with fish makes you a communist.
Jimmy Squid, I am sorry you are angry. I hate to be the guy quoting a Star Wars book, but I've found this advice has really helped me a bunch of times in life:That's not Star Wars, that's REBT (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rational_therapy). And it works, mostly, if you're the sort whose emotions don't run roughshod over your entire mind.
"Every feeling has a root. It could be coming from any number of sources. One has to consider the emotional basis, the physical basis, the mental, psychological, even physiological basis. How are you feeling? Have you been getting enough sleep? Did you see/hear/read something that could have triggered it? How are your relationships with people right now? Could it be something in your body chemistry/hormonal cycle (men can often have their own)?"
I'm bad at explaining these things, but like... it could be any number of things. And while right now the irrational nature of it just makes it worse, it usually helps me to stop and consider every possible explanation.
Jimmy, I think maybe your body is just restless. I'd say go for a good run, punch the fuck out of a pillow, do 500 pushups, any strenuous physical activity. I get the same way if I haven't gotten outside for a while or done something physical.I don't have the data in front of me but I'm certain that I've read studies showing no real therapeutic value to "letting your anger out", specifically through violent sorts of behavior ala punching an inanimate object. I'm fairly certain they showed an increase in anger. Exercise, I don't know. The sorts of neurochemical activity that goes in with exercise could come into play, theoretically. But unless not exercising is the source of your anger I wouldn't think that "channeling" it towards productive ends really addresses the problem in the medium or long term.

Also, a (different) boy asked me to go to some bar to see him play bass and drums on a gameboy (seriously, this is nerdcore awesome) and he got excited when I said I would go. He is cute, so I am excited that he's excited!

Ooh, did it hover over the box?
Actually probably not, I think they need wind to lean into so they can hover and presumably inside the building wasn't very windy.
I got a 6 on both. And yeah it's pretty much the same, though what we have to make isn't so much "weird" as "shit". Weird can work well, but my teachers are ridiculously hung up on Photoshop being the entire future of design work, so anything that isn't overdone to hell "displays a lack of technical skill". You can't make something sleek and elegant, it has to be almost baroque to fill their standards. All last semester I made things I thought was good, but my teachers hated most of it - this time I decided just to make the ugliest most terrible poster ever and I scored a 6. Looks like I'll be making awful things until I graduate.

See, the bass (and art) gods are smiling on you.

I've decided not to go to UiO.
I can't read Albanian. How do I tell which ones are the tabloids?
Also: Watchmen movie = amazing.
Yeah i am pretty much set on UiO now. I really liked it. I guess the low attendance could be because it was a pretty early lecture?

BLOG THREAD.
I went to swing dance night and danced with a cute boy but I was lame and didn't even ask him his name.
I am so dumb.
So, after this weekend, I realized I might be depressed? It took a couple of outside perspectives for me to realize it though. It feels weird because I guess I always expected I'd be able to like...tell, if it ever happened. Now I'm not sure what I should do about it, or if I even can do anything about it.
Bleh, I don't know. Everything that's been going on has made me feel real tired.
On the upside, I bought some really nice brie and sourdough rye today. Good cheese is kind of amazing, I think I'm going to start paying more attention to it.
Bleh, I don't know. Everything that's been going on has made me feel real tired.
I'm the last person to give anyone advice but I think that anyone who is even moderately aware of the suffering which is manifest on this planet and never ever gets down about it must be an idiot.
Almost as much of an idiot as someone who allows it to then consume their life.

But I can't just take an open-ended break from school right now and there are certain issues I can't just make go away and ugh.I can only provide my own perspective on this as someone who's experienced depression on and off for as long as I can remember. I'll organize my thoughts as best I can.

Dude did my Secret Santa package ever arrive? I am getting really upset with the post.
How long has it been since you sent it now? Three months or so? Yeah, I'm pretty sure I'll never get it. Fuck the post, they never get anything right.
Oh and when everybody told this dude Deshamiri just how much he sucks at singing, he decided to serenade that girl Xhosefin with a song about how she is just jealous of his guitar skillz.
And it reminded me of exactly why I used to keep Barmymoo and May as two seperate people. Now I feel horrible and guilty that she felt embarassed about the whole thing and I'm not sure how to get rid of this feeling.
Blog thread, I feel horrible. One of my favourite supervisors at work congratulated me on my engagement last night (she is one of my Facebook friends) and her reaction when I explained it was not a real real engagement made me realise how childish it seems to anyone who isn't part of the loop. And it reminded me of exactly why I used to keep Barmymoo and May as two seperate people. Now I feel horrible and guilty that she felt embarassed about the whole thing and I'm not sure how to get rid of this feeling.This is no big thing! You just shouldn't present it as some terrible thing you did, you should say "oh that's a silly thing my friends and I were doing" and if you have to say it was all the other person's idea and you got peer pressured. But it's just harmless fun.
Hi blog thread,
I had a shitty week at work that really stressed me out a lot, my kid has become afraid of the dark and wakes up a lot during the night, and I was really really hoping for a relaxing fun weekend. So far, it is not working out as I had planned.
Nooo! My clocks are already set, but there are like 1000 reasons I love daylight savings time. Actually, there are two.
1. Like Inlander said, there is nothing as awesome as having it be light really late during the summertime.
2. I get an extra hour of sleep tonight and I get to feel like I'm staying up late for the next few days! Yeah, I know that the hour comes from somewhere, and it is a bit of a pain waking up and going to sleep earlier when DST starts, but it will still feel really luxurious to be waking up and going to sleep "later" right now.
Wait, did that make sense? I get so confused about all of this...
Rachel, will we be hanging out next weekend? I was thinking about going out for drinks with Rita at some point.
Get people on the phone and they have to deal with a real human being in real time conversation.
man ally you can't deny late summer nights when it doesn't get dark till 9.You should come to Jamaica.
I just want to make berry-cinnamon muffins, but need to clear the rest of the sink of dishes so I have somewhere to clean up my mess, which means I have to clean up their mess first. It's not fair living in a boys' household.
It seems that mum and I are the only people in this house that notice that things smell/need cleaning/need tidying around here, and only one of us actually lives here (protip: it's not mum). I am cleaning out the fridge right now rather than making muffins because no one else will. I don't want to become the cleaning fairy around here, but jesus people, the milk had been off for so long it was a water-y type liquid with the remains of the milk in a brainy-looking substance at the top of the bottle. And it had been in the fridge like that for weeks after it was first mentioned that it should be thrown out!

But what if I want to make more muffins? The ones I made in an angry fit of anger are delicious, so surely I will want to make more?

I do not want to start another techie flame war. But today I disabled all the visual options on my new-ish HP laptop. It's like seeing the ugly, ugly truth behind the processor-sucking Matrix for the first time. I keep stopping whatever I'm doing just to giggle at the interface, I might as well be running Windows 98.lol, wat
Also it's amusing to me that you are at Star Academy.
Say hello to Spock for me.
I bet you never get jokes like that.
Seriously though you should clock a ho.
It's too bad I don't make 90k a year...
Man, I have been thinking about getting "everything will be ok." tattooed on either my wrist or my hand for awhile now. I think it'd be awesome as hell.I would totally get "Just Might Be OK" tattooed on my arm. Y'know, like the Lupe Fiasco song. :-)
And man, I totally have a tattoo appointment next monday! So excited!
Patrick,
Everyone knows that if you're in separate states it's not actually cheating. Following that logic, being separated by the Atlantic makes it really not cheating!
Hey it turns out penicillin is like MAGIC. I was VERY ill, I was basically crying everytime I swallowed, not able to eat because of my throat, not being able to sleep due to my throat hurting too much or falling asleep for about 5 minutes at a time before I woke up to myself drowning in my own mucus (I could here myself choking in my sleep!), my glands were so swollen and my neck so stiff from all the grossness that I could hardly turn my head and I was generally very miserable. I have been on penicillin for a day and I am already 90% back to normal. I AM EATING RIGHT NOW.Yeah, I dunno about the penicillin, but I was hospitalized for Tonsillitis. It really does suck. For days, I was going from doctor to doctor, before a specialist had the balls to say it was Tonsillitis. By time I got there, my throat was red and hurting like hell. I could barely speak. I looked in the mirror and my uvula was HUGE and was sagging and dragging on my tongue.
IT IS SO AWESOME

There's nothing that can kill a lifelong love of learning like college.

Brog Bleed,
I got salmon in my eye last night. Don't ask me how it happened, I don't know. But all through today that eye has been itchy and sore and red. And I've felt vaguely nauseauted.
So for future reference - keep fish out of your eyes, cooked or no. It's not meant for that.
Also somebody was playing the new Chris Cornell album on campus today real loud and alls I can say is what the fuck Timbaland you used to be good at shit.
whole buncha stuff

We don't have a closed sign. We do have a crowbar, however.
How about that, sucka.
Holy shit An Horse was just performing on David Lettermen, I used to chat to her all the time when I went into Skinnies, that is fucking cool, I didn't know they'd gotten so big.
Goddammit why can I suddenly no longer watch the Daily Show online? No matter which browser I try! It better just be because they've temporarily fucked up the website, if it turns out they've suddenly decided to not let people outside the U.S. watch it, then so help me I'll . . .

Man every time you guys start talking about flirty semi-not-really-kinda cheating on your girlfriends it makes me so sad:(
I think that the important thing with relationships isn't that you don't want to fuck other people, it's that you don't fuck other people. Expecting the former is unrealistic and thus sort of (inadvertently) controlling. I think boys and girls who never cheat should get a gold star for self-control.Man every time you guys start talking about flirty semi-not-really-kinda cheating on your girlfriends it makes me so sad:(
Glad I'm not the only one.

Dear Blog Thread,Oh, come on. Did you guys really ignore this.
For the past couple of weeks I have basically been sitting around and moping for lack of a job and lack of anything to do. I'm homeschooled (and have all the credits required to get into college so I'm basically graduated), but the majority of my friends are Sophomores or Juniors who are still inaccessible for about three hours of the day that would be mad hangout times in summer or some other holiday, so I've mostly been sort of attached to the computer for hours out of the day. I'm getting pretty tired of it pretty fast, and it's affecting my relationship with my girlfriend negatively, and I just need something to do but I just can't for the life of me think of anything to do. I live on the outskirts of Birmingham, Alabama, which aren't really noted for their beauty or ambiance, so I can't really get into just walking around like I used to when I was living in the heart of the city. Suggestions?

I'd probably pick up an instrument.

Pen, you seem to assume that flirting is sexual, but it doesn't have to be.
On a darker page in the story of the 2009 so far is a weird friendship-cum-non-relationship between my friend T and me. I met her right before breaking up with my now-ex (unrelated). She got out of a couple bad ones recently. We're both more into sex than relationships right now. So it happens.
I'm concerned that the feelings she had for me first might flare up again and I don't want her to get hurt.
It's not so much the idea that you might have a fantasy about having sex with someone else. It's the flirting and stuff. I assume Jon thinks about sleeping with someone else (i don't know who, and i don't much care), but if he was actually flirting with someone, that'd bug the hell out of me (unless he was getting free drinks at a bar or something). Not cheating is not hard if you care for the person you're with.
To clarify, I'm not saying it's wrong to be attracted to someone else, but acting at all on that is not cool in my book.
Also, fucking god damn people. I hate people. First of all, if you want to talk to me, just fucking start talking. Don't sit next to me/in front of me, and move around a lot and grunt and sigh and stare at me because I will just fucking ignore you. Second of all, yes it hurt, no I don't regret it, yes I like it, no I don't think its strange, yes its in my cleavege, no it doesn't have another end, it does not come out anywhere, no its not some sexual thing, no I am not a freak, yes I can hear you whispering about me from across the room, yes I can tell you are staring at me, yes I am actually human and have feelings too, and it does actually bother me a lot that you feel the need to stare at me and make me feel like some sort of freak on display. Thirdly, fucking god damn I hate old people. And I know this makes me a terrible person.
Evernew, tell her how you feel about it all(i.e. "I don't want a relationship," "It's flattering that you like me, but it'd be better if you didn't," "I'm leaving soon.") And stop fucking having sex with her jesus h christ. If you know this girl is banging you because it makes her feel close to someone, and whatnot, stop sticking your dick in her if you can't reciprocate. You are leading her on. Stop. Its mean, and the longer you do it, the more heartache you are gonna cause. Fucking stop fucking. Jesus.

um, to be fair he did find out how she felt... today. it's not like this has been going on for weeks or something. and he also asked for advice as soon as he found out. there's no need to be so harsh, the fact that he's asking for help in the first place and hasn't wasted any time in doing so shows he's looking out for her best interests. not all people are completely terrible all the time.
kinda cunty stuff"Don't be a jerk!"
And Coward, can you not read? I don't understand the question.
Dear blog thread,Yeah, really. That's another thing that angers me about those competitions. They're basically telling you that you NEED to step on everyone else to get to the top.
There is nothing shittier than seeing the look on somebody's face when you tell them that you don't think they're good enough for something you're both working your asses off for. I don't appreciate the journalists serving as a catalyst for drama over at Star Akademi and I never will. They don't give a fuck about our feelings, nobody there does except for us. Having to say no more or no less than 3 people who you think should be eliminated from the competition... fuck, I haven't felt this shitty or guilty in years.
I really want to apologize to the guy, and I'll do that the next chance I get. I'm seriously on the verge of crying. I don't like telling good people negative things. Especially when I'm given no choice. He's been nothing but a nice person to me, I honestly like the guy. I gave my honest opinion of how I think things will go, but that doesn't make me feel any goddamn better and I am thinking about ditching this stupid goddamn show altogether. I don't care what the goddamn prize is, 2,000 Euros or not. Nothing's worth losing respect for yourself.
Love,
Me
So on Saturday. Not today. Well, in four minutes it won't be today but anyway.
On Saturday, people are coming to my house and we will watch movies for 13 hours and 11 minutes. Hopefully, this will become a tradition between my friends and I. That would be amazing.
Here's the list...
Fight Club
The Dark Knight
Moulin Rouge
Amelie
Sweeney Todd
Pan's Labyrinth
Man how does Moulin Rouge fit on that list. That is like having a really good shrimp cocktail, eating fried shit, and then the best steak of your life.
But tonight I might be going out with her! Crazy! (not on a date, though)
This is how.I fucking love Moulin Rouge.

You'd get away with it if it was avant-garde. There's already a Charles Manson opera.I swore you said Charles Mingus and said "Wait, Emaline was right..." (The Clown)
I head straight for the first disc of 69 Love Songs.
I don't know if avant garde would be the words to descibe it.
I want to tell the story of a real american horror. It such a surreal story. I want to explore everyone's emotions in the story. And tell it from everyone's point of view. It just interests me so much.
When shit is going right like this I don't even care about the fact that I am hopeless at interpersonal relationships.
i wish my housemate who lives in the room next to mine would either make her alarm clock loud enough to wake her up or quiet enough that i don't hear it blaring in my room cos i am getting really sick of being woken up by an hour of BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP in the morning, i have said something to her already but it happened again today and now i am in a terrible mood. arrghhhhh.

In the real world, Birmingham.
Normally that would be my immediate choice as well. But we've been going out for almost 2 years now, and I intend to propose over the summer. And she has some major issues with the distance that have been wearing her down for a year.

The hardest part, of course, is finding an apartment that is across from two moderately attractive and supremely annoying women.
I once decided to wear a black beret to uni (keep in mind I also wear black boots and black fatigue pants). Apparently this was somewhat akin to wearing a big sign around my neck saying "Please assume that I agree with your ridiculous political leanings and silly conspiracy theories." I had no less than three different Resistance people come up to me, clearly thinking I was one of them.
This is why I don't wear hats.
Being social and outgoing is all well and good if you have some level of self control but I think I've proved that I still don't and possibly never will. Thus, I'm going to try to do the hermit thing again, see how it works out.
Dear Blog Thread: I am starting to actually like that crap Cut Copy album! This has caught me off gaurd and now I have to back peddle if I mention liking it to someone to whom I've already referred to the album as bad. I need music snob opinions on this album. I am looking at you, Emilio...
I think Prince would disagree.Fuck yes I have that song stuck in my head now.
ETA: fuck. I have that song stuck in my head now.
I just went shopping for the first time in absolute ages! I bought some comfy shoes that were on sale for work (will post in fashion thread later), used a gift card I got for christmas to buy some snuggly new PJ pants, and got myself a red velvet cupcake and a little bunch of flowers on the way home. Yay!

Dear Blog thread,
Yesterday took a rather unexpected turn. I had gone up to the hospital to see about what I thought was a broken coccyx. Went to A&E and the guy told me it was most definitely not a broken coccyx but it was a pretty nasty abscess and because of the position it was in (right in between my but cheeks at the top of my ass) I'd have to get it surgically removed rather than get antibiotics. So I ended up getting operated on at about 8pm ( I went up to the hospital at 10am). The general anaesthetic was wonderful. The anaesthetist kept asking me how I felt as I was breathing it in, the last thing I remember saying is "Every things gone fuzzy, I feel like I'm part of the fuzz". The good thing about all of this is I am no longer in excruciating pain, the bad news is that because it was an abscess they can't close the wound up incase it gets reinfected. Instead they leave it open and stuff it full of sterilsed dressing. This means I now have a surprisingly large hole where it shouldn't be in my bum and I pretty much can't do any sports till it heals up, which will be at least a month from now. This sucks because by the time it heals the easter holidays will be over and I'll have to start revising for exams.
Oh well
What would you have liked?
Ally, I also hope it heals well. Did they stuff yours up as well, if so how did you shower? I totally forgot to ask about that when I was in. Now I'm worried cause it might screw up the dressing or something. Did it take ages for it to fully heal?
Hey you didn't complain when you had just met me for a few hours and I was already going to town on your ass.
Liz, that is seriously cool. And a good idea to boot. Sorry you've had so much start-up trouble, but I think that is a genuinely worthwhile endeavor.
Also holy crap, there are quite a few people in this room with me, people actually get up this early?
Love,
Kris

saw anamanaguchi, nullsleep, bit shifter and others in an abandoned salvation army last night
that was next level. i think i'm getting really baked and seeing lou barlow today or something, that or medications.
so blog thread,
today i discovered Battles. is my life complete y/n?
The girl I am fooling around with just texted me to ask me if I've seen watchmen yet, I wrote back "I just saw it 35 minutes ago."
Don't fret it. That is not a good film to see with a lady. The leading female character is a transparent pushover and the only other females exist to be impregnated, beaten, shot and raped.
Brian Eno, Tiger Woods and idiots.
PS Brett, you should tell me what is going on at some point, I havn't talked to you in ages!
Well, first thing I would do is go to the pharmacist and buy that film school some Plan B.You know I thought about changing the phrasing of that but then I thought 'hey, noone's going to be that much of a jackass.'

I will probably be in Brisbane the first weekend in April! It is Sarah's birthday and Supernova. I will keep you posted and maybe I can say hi!
The idea that anyone wouldn't know how to use a computer is completely alien to my brain, which is pretty interesting.
I guess the privilege of being a grad student is that nobody questions you when you're in a campus building past nine (actually, I'm not sure I would call be stuck here past nine a privilege).
Today I actually won at science! I have been trying to get my protein soluble since last may, and through a combination of witchcraft and an unholy assembly of techniques I have (probably) succeeded with HPrK! This makes me happy, and maybe, some day, I will actually be able to publish something on the PTS. Also, out of curiousity I checked the wikipedia article on the PTS, and found numerous errors....but I'm far too lazy to correct them. Hopefully nobody taking a microbiology or genetics course decides to use it as a reference.
Wooo break out the 100% ethanol in champagne flutes
That sucks, Elizzy. That sucks butts. I wish I knew what to do. I guess you could dump bowls of water on it?I had something like that for a while, it turned out way later that I'd chipped a bone in my foot.
Blog Thread,
My foot troubles are getting worse. I don't think my toes are broke anymore. And I doubt I'd be able to walk at all if my whole foot was broken, so I doubt it is that as well. But the top of my foot is really tender, and it hurts to step down regularly. I've taken to putting most of the pressure on the side of my foot when I walk. Its really bothering me. I'm in pain everytime I take a step. What do you think it could be?

Quick, blog thread!
It is 11:30 here and I have not eaten today. I just found some bagels in my fridge that have been in there for a few months. Is that a problem? I can still eat them, right?
Keep in mind: college.
Are you not allowed to quit outright or will they make you like the largest pussy in the universe if you do so?
(really really really terrible shit)
Given this particular person's propensity for incessant bitching, misogyny, latent racism and omnipresent self-serving bias, once my other friends move away (he'll be the only one left in Loveland) I'm planning on just telling him that we are no longer going to associate with one another.
I will grow vegetables and raise chickens and my friend will grow pigs and we will have bacon and eggs and onion omeletsBest Idea I've heard in a while.
This shit happened on the Math upper-year mailing list at Waterloo too,
oh my god there is a facebook group for it now (http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=120804189&ref=profile#/group.php?sid=64f036cbc7119dbc25b0602342867ad3&gid=63673101813) and i am still getting emails. i don't understand anything that has happened today.That Kaitlyn girl is hot.
Guys, a strange and scary thing has happened to me. I've started liking Celine Dion.
Next thing you know we'll all be listening to the Cure.
Next thing you know we'll all be listening to the Cure.
Spare me that. My sister used to and I still haven't recovered. God, the eighties sucked.
Next thing you know we'll all be listening to the Cure.Oh well just fuck.
Wait Brett, how are you doing your tax when the financial year hasn't even ended and you won't know your final yearly earnings? THAT MAKES NO SENSE.
It was so incredibly fun to do this legally.
Guys, I am sitting here playing fucking Wheel Of Fortune on my SNES, and they fucking cheated me! I solved the puzzle and they told me I was wrong, and then the fucking computer put in the exact same letters and won! Cheated!Oh man, I have that game... I should fire up the SNES...
So, its lame and sucks, and I think I am going to go listen to Echo and The Bunnymen, and The Cure, and Depeche Mode, and The Smiths, and I will sing along and dance and it will be the best.
I have special sneaky tax things to do that require me to put in my return as late as possible. Also it means since I just got in before the due date, I will be getting my 1200 dollars one week and then a month or so later, I get K-Rudds 900 dollar bonus!
Actually does anyone know when the actual date for us getting that is? And if its defs still going ahead?
[snip] boss [snip] says "Ally here comes your boyfriend" when he comes in and it is making me feel really awkward around him [snip]
did I totally just strike out in the Making Friends League because I think I did.Not necessarily! You might see this person again. If you do, bring up hanging about or going to another show or something.
The '80s had tons of good music!
Fight you.
Did you seriously just bad mouth the young ones?The '80s had tons of good music!
Fight you.
Oh, it's ON!
You're right though. But to me huge chunks of the 80's seem boring and endlessly depressing sundays with only The Young Ones on the television and depressing Cure, Smiths, Echo and the Bunnymen and what-have-you as backing track. And everone was unemployed and we were only waiting for nuclear holocaust.
So, the 80's sucked.
But there was some great music. Somewhere.
Did you seriously just bad mouth the young ones?
First off, the Young Ones was FUCKING FANTASTIC. So go fuck yourself.
Second off, grog shed, my ladyfriend called me yesterday. There's a little more to it (which I will not divulge into), but she was really struggling with the distance issue (we live about an hour apart) and broke up with me. This sucks.
(http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b171/CatFishEnFuego/sad.gif)Did you seriously just bad mouth the young ones?
Yes. Yes, I did. Completely and whole-heartedly. I think, with proper reflection and time taken to come to that point, that it was and is and always will be a godawful show worth less than a single episode of Dick Turpin.
Harry, An hour away where Shane lives is like the entire state.

Shane, I have two girls to work on a relationship with, but I only need one relationship, want me to send one to the other side of the country for you?
Alternatively, Come see a spring training game down here or something, we'll hang out.
Today this gorgeous awesome lady customer at work asked me if I was going to see Insert-Band-Name-Here this week, because we saw each other at Mogwai a couple of weeks ago and realised we have similar tastes. I sort of shrugged and said, nah. I'm not going out for a while, not till Insert-Other-Band-Name-Here at the end of April and she looked a bit pouty after that.
I realised later that maybe she was trying to sort of ask if I wanted to hang out? We both have boyfriends and she is always asking how things with us are going and I have moaned to her about what is happening and uh, did I totally just strike out in the Making Friends League because I think I did.
Also there is this guy that comes in lately (he is actually Nick's housemate) and it is embarrassing because I told my boss that we met when I was stinking of my own beery vomit and somehow my boss has decided that this guy really really likes me and he says "Ally here comes your boyfriend" when he comes in and it is making me feel really awkward around him (especially because he is just really nice and quiet) so I can't make proper conversation and guh, I am doing this all so wrong.
But think of the regular season possibilities! You could catch some scintillating NL West action :roll:
Would go out to the living room to chill but my housemate is entertaining a lady and while they aren't boning yet they're too cuddly and ridiculous to tolerate.
Kind of wish they were boning I have heard ridiculous stories about this dudes loudness and am interested in their validity.
Wellll if your workplace is anything like my school, an open bag of chips is kind of like leftovers in the fridge - first come, first serve.
I mean if the norm is that you leave other people's stuff alone, I'd probably be a little more upset, but a bag of chips is like... two dollars?
A few female workmates always make jokes when a really ugly girl comes up to the bar at work "Here comes your girlfriend" and they wonder why I'm so fucking insecure

I tried to talk to someone about my awful self-image last year, but the guy kinda just ended up listening to me talk about my shitty family and what I should do when I get really depressed. So it didn't really help. So don't worry, even if you think everyone doesn't really like you I think that you don't really like me either, so you're not at the bottom of the self-hate pile, I guess?
I just think it's hilarious that they'd actually do that.
it will be really interesting, because it's a completely different culture, and I'll probably have fun and enjoy the trip,
I just think it's hilarious that they'd actually do that.
Yeah dogg its hilarious mostly because it wouldn't work except on insane bitches.
I feel like I am the only one not super-excited to go to Japan. I mean, I'm sure it'll be really interesting, and an almost free trip to Japan is cool, but I feel like everyone around me is so fucking excited, and if they aren't excited about going there and partying and drinking and having fun, they're excited because they fucking love Japan and all things Japanese. I find myself getting annoyed by all the "OMG, Japan! I loove Japan!", both from people I'm going with and people who hear I'm going there. I can't stand manga or anime or really anything a lot of them base their love for Japan upon (not that there aren't things to like, I just don't like what most others seem to base their love upon). Like I said, I'm certain it will be really interesting, because it's a completely different culture, and I'll probably have fun and enjoy the trip, I just don't get all the hype.Oy, I know what you mean. There was this group of kids in my hear at the old uptown school I went to. Spending 5 minutes with them was unbearable (they were my close friends). Every thing is "Japan" this, and "Manga" that, and "Oooohmygawsh that is so kawaii desu na".
Why do I feel bad about not being super excited about this? I almost feel like someone else should be going instead of me.

Guys, while talking to the dude last night, he told me that I should try to sell some of my art at one of our street markets. Since I live literally two blocks away from one and its only $15 to set up a booth, I am thinking of doing this. How much do you think I could sell my art for?

They just protested a high school in my girlfriend's town for putting on a production of the Laramie Project.
"Man, we are so fucking cool because we are 14 and we are fucking smoking fucking cigarettes and we fucking say fuck a fucking lot really fucking loudly because we fucking need fucking attention and everytime we fucking take a fucking puff off a fucking cigarette we fucking cough our fucking not fully developed fucking lungs out. And we kept calling our fucking parents and starting fucking fights because we are so fucking cool!!!!!"At least I'm not the only one that notices them.
And I swear I have not had one drink or one illegal substance all day.Do you see the problem now?
they were going to protest when my school did the same play, but nobody actually showed up. they are a pretty pathetic group that operates mostly on empty threats.
And I am going to write a book about my life and it's gonna be all Diary Of A Fucked Up Girl. And you are all going to be characters! Congradulations!! I am lying!! You wouldn't be characters unless I met you.
As I knelt in front of the work toilet at 4pm this afternoon, 8 hours into a ten hour shift, praying for god to end my miserable life I had a bit of a realisation. Stay with me here.
Throwing up has a lot in common with having sex.

Awesome, because I JUST had this delicious cake.I apologize for posting about happy things, Emaline, I'm sorry you're having a hard time with life, but...
Man, just because my life sucks balls, doesn't mean that everyone else's has to as well. That is actually one of my biggest fears, everyone will think that because my life sucks so much ass, that I don't want to hear their stories of how awesome life can be, but really guys, I DO! It gives me hope.
Patrick, I know you hate it, but man, I think what you are doing is really cool.
Whats your rent budget? I am seeing TONS of super-affordable apartments (400-500/mo range) right in downtown st. louis
records
hey Liz, bring citruses, their buoyancy will save you in a flood
That sounds like a great day but man, do my eyes burn right now.
Well the updated headcount is upwards of 2000 records, so I 'm not too sure about discogs; thanks tho', I might be able to find some rare bootlegs! =Drecords
You can use discogs to list records, it's a pretty useful service. As for ripping the records, I'm not sure what you mean by a vinyl archiver but I'm guessing it's just a cheap USB turntable. Don't do that! Instead, get a needle for the SL-1200, get a phono pre-amp and rip them using that, it'll sound far better.
Also, on the news this morning there was a long bit about the flooding in Fargo. I find it pretty amazing that I was reading just yesterday about that from actual inhabitants, not some BBC news presenter. I hope you're doing alright, it looked horrible on the news.

Today I went for a bike-ride along the creek to the Slow Food Farmers Market with a friend and then we bought stuff at the market and then we rode back home and then we went and had coffee and then I went back home again and then I had a brownie and a cup of tea out of the fancy china 'cause it's the weekend and then it was dinner time so I cooked rogan josh with the awesome lamb I bought at the market and it was delicious and I drank one of the beers that I bought at the market and it was delicious and then I sat with all the lights off and just candles for an hour because it was Earth Hour and then I took another one of the beers that I bought at the market to this guy I know who runs a beer bar round the corner of my house and he was like "thanks man" and he gave me two beers to take home in return and then I went for a bike-ride along a bike-path I'd never been along before apart from the little bit that I went along last week for the first time and it was awesome and it was like ten o'clock at night and then I came home and drank one of the beers the guy I know gave me and it wasn't that great but it was free and then I chatted to my friend online for a while and then I found an episode of Angel on the T.V. and then it was one o'clock in the morning so I sat in my rocking-chair and read a book for an hour and now I'm about to go to bed and it was a great day.

Look Liz, the flood in Fargo made it all the way to the Norwegian news (http://www.dagbladet.no/2009/03/29/nyheter/utenriks/flom/5523169/)! This must mean the flooding is pretty serious, because only the most serious news reaches our remote corner of the world. I hope everyone is okay over there!

My macroeconomics class is a ghost town today. There's maybe 5 people on here, including the professor.
hey internet guess what i got into music school
yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
And also how the Coffee shop in town (which basically sounds exactly like yours) won't hire me for anything but kitchen, even though they're hiring both kitchen and front. Yay for sexism.
i hear you. i love cooking and in all of my service industry jobs i have only ever been hired to work in the front and let customers yell at me despite having applied for a kitchen position. fucking sexism.
This is odd because from what you are suggesting, the dated female archetype of being in the kitchen is inverted in a professional environment.
I'd say that it was maybe just because you have no training working in a kitchen environment and thus, you would probably be more of a hindrance. I'd imagine you were applying for part time or temporary work and thus, from this they would have deduced that you had little or no interest in receiving training to become a full-time cook or chef, since you can't learn such a hard job on a part-time basis. Kitchens tend to utilize full-time employees back of house (even KP positions for the most part) and part-time employees on the floor since that is a job which requires little in the way of training.

Nick, (you are nick right V_Dove? I think?)
Go where the girl is. Or, you know, look at chances you get to see girl versus chances you get to see band you'd rather see, or look at the necessity of seeing girl sooner than later. I would probably go where the girl is, but it really depends on the bands.
Also that is a genius idea I have never heard of that being done before you really ought to do it.
I'm assuming you'd get the band's express permission before you did it? Seeing as you mentioned getting interview snippets.

Also, I am beginning to realize that my overall functioning as a human being depends to a significant extent on whether or not I am having sex regularly. If I'm not, I'm just not as good of a person. This bothers me even though I know it makes perfect sense and is probably true for most people.

I jsut get frustrated. And angry.
man patrick it sounds to me like this show is making you miserable. I mean, it's a reality tv show, of course they want you to get angry, people love drama. if you're really that pissed off I think you should just quit. judging based on your many blog posts it has given you 0 happiness and 0 satisfaction.

My alcohol "talk" was basically my parents letting me drink alcohol at a party I had at home and then making fun of me when I had a hangover the next day and telling me that is what happens when you drink too much, so drink less from now on and you won't feel like shit, ok?
*snipit*
On pub quizzes: I know a couple of people who won about 50 pounds worth of bar tab doing one of those. There were two of them. That's 25 pounds worth of free booze per person.
I've always wanted to do one of those pub quiz night thingies. A bar about a 15 minute walk from my house is having one Tuesday night, and a few friends and I are going to go and kick some ass at being trivial.
No, that movie looks funny.
i accidentally dropped this delicious cookie that i was eating on the floor and spent the last three minutes or so crawling around under my desk looking for the rest of this cookie so that i could finish eating it, i finally found it and ate it. it wasn't under after all that happened that i fully realized what had just happened and i sat under my desk for a little while and thought about it and decided this probably says some pretty gross things about me as a person.
Rock bottom is when you have the ingredients to make a delicious cookie, but then decide that is way too much work and continue to lie in a fetal position on your couch zoning out not looking at anything (like, turning on the tv is also too much effort) after not showering for like a week and you haven't seen anyone in days. (depression coma)
Also, after watching many Knife videos over and over and some live footage, I realized that white people can't dance for shit.
So, it's 4am, I am in a complete stranger's house. (I'm not kidding I'm staying with a guy I have met maybe 3 times - who is currently house sitting for his sister) after a friends 21st (walking around Melbourne at 1am with hundreds of helium balloons- fun stuff - pics will come later) I'm not sure there is any point in even trying to sleep, due to the whole strangers house thing added to the redbulls and cokes I've been drinking, having mistakenly thought the party would go on longer. Also I'm using the sweetest computer set up I've ever seen (wireless keyboard with a touchpad, liked to a computer which instead of a computer screen is linked to a 40inch widescreen tv and the biggest sound system I've ever seen in priavate use. I want one) I know I should feel weird for using someone else's computer but hey - its four am I'm well past minor inhibitions like that. Meebo isn't loading on this computer for some reason which is why I'm actually bloging rather than just telling this to whoever is in meebo. chest is hurting for some reason. Oh and I wore my sweet suit (but with different pants because I haven't had time to get the ones that go with the jacket taken up) tonight to the girls party, which was at a stripclub - though we didn't have strippers instead we had to make do with what we could do with the poles, again photos may come of that later. tomorrow I'm going to meet the girl and see how that works out should be fun with no sleep.That rig sounds very close to the one I'm on right now. Except it's my friend's, without wireless periphs.
tl:dr? don't worry you didn't miss much.
Blog thread,
Three people where I work are leaving, one of which I'm pretty close with. This sucks, because she's worked there for 3 years now and is pretty much the only thing holding the club together.
However, this does mean there's a supervisor position open, and even though I won't get it, it does mean i'll be in the running for more than 2 nights a week. I'm working pretty much every day at the moment too, because of the easter holidays and all the students have gone home. Maybe i'll proove that i'm capable of working more and actually having some reponsibility, which in turn means I won't have to go home in search of mo' dolla', even if this place is depressing as hell. But that will change when Gemm moves down.
Good and bad news people. Good and bad.

Note to Blog Thread: If you are a senior in high school, do not date freshman. Sophomores maybe but never freshman.
Ew.
But yeah, in high school it was kind of creepy for an 18 year old to be going after someone who was 14/15, but that's just because a lot happens in those years. Because, lets be honest, a lot of the girls they are dating want to date a senior because then they are dating a senior. And the senior wants to date them because the girl will probably put out.

David Attenborough's horrendous fucking lisp
the Sigourney Weaver version
Blog Thread:
I wonder if it's because of the economic uncertainty that so many people have been looking for books on black magic, voodooism and the occult in general?
I certainly don't mind nominally intelligent people doing research. I just don't know why they don't just do it online first like everyone else.
I guess that some people think that "actual books" are somehow going to be a better source. Even though it's probably written by some "expert" who got the bulk of his info online. It's not like you are going to find any significant works in a public library system.
David Attenborough's horrendous fucking lispWhat?the Sigourney Weaver versionWhat??
Basically I have been super active and it has been a cool day. Tomorrow me and some friends will do the best thing; paly hide and seek city style. A whole bunch of us go downtown, split up in groups of two, and send one group off wandering. Five minutes later everybody splits up and starts looking for them. The first ones to find them wins. It's a large area we are playing in, takes probably an hour to walk around the edges and fifteen minutes to cross the place. The hiders isn't really going to hide, they are just going to walk around and try to dodge around corners if they see someone. It will be really fun and cool and stuff.
to be honest, the signourney weaver version always pissed me off because the only reason i could see for there being two versions of planet earth is that there are people in north america who don't like listening to british people talk and would rather listen to an american, despite the fact that they speak the same language in both countries. i've watched the series a billion times and maybe it's just me but i don't really hear any lisp at all, just a dude talking about some nature.

Dear Blog thread,
My dad gave me some really uncomfortable sandals for Easter. I mean kill-your-feet-even-while-standing-still bad. Is he giving me a subtle message?
I think my overnight job is making me depressed. I sleep for more than 10 hours a day, I have very little apetite and I always wake up thinking about how much my life sucks.
Emaline, the joke was directed at Blue Kitty. I actually really dislike Dave Matthews.

College does that to you as well, Jace. It's called "being between 18 and 25 years old".
And to make it clear, I wasn't offended. My friend was, but I wasn't. Like I said, I didn't even know what it meant. For awhile I was like, "yeah, I do prefer going to the Buttery over Bella Milano."(the buttery being this amazing cheap ass diner, and Bella Milano being this expensive Italian place), but I wasn't sure what that had to do with Dave Matthews. Then after actually looking it up, I pretty much thought "ha! Whatevs man."
College does that to you as well, Jace. It's called "being between 18 and 25 years old".
Being a cheap date isn't a bad thing, really. If you're just as happy going to the cheep place, I take it to mean that you're more interested in the person you're with then in what they can afford to buy you.
Maybe change what hours you're sleeping? I'm not sure if you sleep immediately before work or after, but maybe switch it up so you can still see some people during the day?
Glad to know that literary sexism is alive and well...shit.
Please keep in mind that the internet can be really dumb sometimes. For the sake of clarity, I will continue to call such dates "easy" as opposed to cheap.
Actually, never mind, I can't see myself using either term that way. Too crass.
Jace, if you're feeling depressed from your night job, one possibility is that you might not being getting enough sun. The sun does make most people happier. During any sunlight hours you do manage to be up, you should probably make an effort to spend as much time outside as you can.
Patrick you stop doing dirty things with that ampersand right now.
Also Snow Patrol covered Hoppipola what?
P.S. I just realized who snow patrol are. Man fuck those guys.
At least at college you get to see other people every day.

Just got back home from work.
We had the Prodigy playing there today, Dizzee Rascal opened for him...
Ask the shop if that's the price he set and if they get a percentage of it. If it's not or they do, you could maybe try getting a hold of him directly to see if he has any other pieces more within your price range. I'm not quite sure on the idea of haggling, I personally wouldn't do it, but something like "I really love your art, especially the Abraham Superlincoln but it's a little out of my price range. Do you have anything else for sale that's around $$$$?" could maybe get you something awesome?
The thing is that the owners of the shop itself are good friends of mine and I don't want to cut them out if they're set up to benefit (which I think they deserve). On the other hand, I think the pieces that he's showing in the shop are well outside the price range of just about anyone who enters the place, so at this point I think they're likely to just be semi-permanent decoration.
Maybe I can just tell every friend I have in the city to kick in and get it for me for my birthday or something.

Guys there is an artist named Adam Rex [...] and he lives in my neighborhood and the local card shop has a bunch of his original artwork up for sale. Among the fantasy artwork, there is this gem:
[...]
It is titled "Abraham Superlincoln: The Signal," it is about the size of the average trade paperback book, and it is $400. I am seriously tempted to buy it, even though it is really really expensive and honestly kind of small.
What would you do in my situation, and what ideas do you have for how I can obtain this piece of art, compensate the artist fairly, and not break my bank account into several pieces?
When I went to Virginia Tech, the Engineering department basically told the students to not expect to have much of a social life. I knew a guy in his fifth year doing Discrete Math during a bowl game, which is unheard of considering how rabid the football fans there are.

Today was Record Store Day! It went quite well. We had three bands play, and everything went well! Which was a shock to me. We were supposed to have four, but one band dropped out right after the third band played. And we had a radio station! But that was rather uneventful. I got some pretty neat stuff though. Our store was pretty packed.

CHOOSE YOUR OWN ADVENTURE
You have kissed a pretty girl from work in a nightclub that you have been sweet on for a while. Said girl found your "I need some way to stay awake for two hours or I will fall asleep and not go to work and get fired" line (I don't consider this a line however and consider it a valid argument) incredibly endearing but didn't want to just ditch her friends to come home with me because of gossips or some crap.

TO BE A COMPLETE WUSS AND JUST LEAVE IT BECAUSE IF A WOMAN DID NOT IMMEDIATELY DROP WHAT SHE WAS DOING TO HAVE SEX WITH YOU SHE IS OBVIOUSLY NOT INTERESTED, GOD WHO WOULD ACTUALLY WANT TO SLEEP WITH A USELESS IDIOT LIKE YOU, TURN TO PAGE 74
Also apparently my girlfriend apparently bought a short dress and fishnets and uhhhh now I want to leave the show more than ever because UNFFFFFFF
It's missing a string and goes out of tune if I play a chord. Besides I am going to bed now so I won't just fall asleep when I am supposed to be throwing all that shit out after school tomorrow.
It's missing a string and goes out of tune if I play a chord.
Now the great challenge consists of sneaking the entire "don't keep" pile out of the house without my mother wanting to dig through it because she will take every single thing, stare at it for five minutes and go "aaaaww we can't throw that away, that was the cardboard box your xbox 360 came in, it might come in handy some day" and then two hours later go into a fit about how the house is always messy. IT DOESN'T WORK THAT WAY. YOU CAN'T KEEP EVERYTHING EVER AND STILL HAVE A TIDY HOUSE.
It's missing a string and goes out of tune if I play a chord.
Patrick it also just sounds like shit and I'd much rather play my Epiphone Les PaulSo why'd you give him?
Blog Thread: I went to bed a few hours ago. Suddenly my cell phone started ringing and I picked it up and it was a friend of mine who is a russ this year. I asked him why he was calling me at 2 in the morning, and he answered that he was really hungry and didn't have any food and was camping in a roundabout roughly one kilometre from my house and asking if could I please bring him some food, man, please, I'm starving here and I don't want to die of hunger in a roundabout. So I got out of bed and made him a couple of cheese sandwiches with tomatoes and ham and made it real nice and spicy and grilled it up so he wouldn't be hungry. I put on clothes and went over to the roundabout and there he was, sitting by a campfire in a roundabout with some friends of him. His friends were grilling sausages and hamburgers. In a roundabout. At two in the morning. I gave him the cheese sandwiches and a yoghurt and he said thanks and then ignored me, and then I went home.
tl;dr I got up at 2 in the morning to make cheese sandwiches for a dude that barely acknowledged my existence while his friends were grilling food two fucking feet away. This is my life.
WAYS TO CHEER YOUSELF UP IF YOU FEELIN BLUE
- visit a library to get copy of Ulysses for exam on Tuesday cause where'd your copy go? Oh hey Drawn & Quarterly books, what's up Kundera, ah! hello de Bergerac. What a magic place
- visit a record store for TAPE SCORES. Get a copy of Please Don't Hurt Em Hammer and force yourself to put down vinyl copy of a record by Klymaxx (http://Klymaxx) based on cover & band name alone! Drive home with the windows in the station wagon down and listen to a late 90s pop-punk comp from SoCal!
- holy shit this Bulk Barn place is selling party mix for $0.64/100g, i can drown my sorrows in preztels and corn chips and NO GET AWAY FROM THE BIN OF BULK RINGOLOS
I don't understand what any of these mean ADVICE RATED ** TWO STARS OUT OF FIVE (I bumped it up from one star because it was a rollercoaster thrill ride of WORDS)
So I had another weird day.
[John's friend whom is a liar]
A lot of stuff
I knew a kid in school that was a compulsive liar, but he wasn't all that charismatic and his lies were completely over the top. Most of them had to do with ninja training and being a power ranger, and this continued up through high school. So we weren't terribly drawn in. We picked on him a fair amount, I'm sorry to say. He's probably the only person I ever really picked on, and I felt guilty about it for years after I stopped.I knew a guy like that, Tony was his name. He was a compulsive liar but he was unskilled and clumsy about it, and what's more it only really came out when he was trying to impress people, or "one up" them. We'd buy D&D books and he'd talk about the times he played in the games the writers DMed, the characters he made that became canon, stuff like that. More sad than anything. We had good times but he made some Bad Life Choices (like getting his clearly mentally unstable girlfriend pregnant) and I figured things would never be the same. We just drifted apart.
I think you were right to identify the cult-leader personality. She was charismatic, and she also clearly targeted you at a point when you were particularly in need, both of which are pretty classic characteristics of cult leaders. It's also possible that she believed a lot of what she said at the time she said it, which is also common among cult-leaders.Yeah, either she's an awesome actress or she really bought into what she was saying on some level. And that kind of scares me. She was... a magical thinker, I believe. I've talked with some people who've run across similar cases, a common thread is past trauma, child abuse etc. We're pretty sure her mom died when she was young and that affected her strongly, that might have something to do with it. But it won't do to armchair analyze too much, especially given what little we actually know.
Ok, so I'm Semi-Awake now, so I'll just post my report in little snippets, for I do not have the pictures yet.

Hey blog thread,
I have some genuine bloggishness going on. I think I have been doing that thing where I make myself extremely busy and surround myself with many people to distract myself from the fact that I am probably genuinely unhappy.
On the plus side, it has been really productive I guess. I mean, I've written a whole bunch of science-news articles, I've started learning photography, I'm managing to continue studying at night and working full-time during the day without my head exploding, and the band I occasionally play with got a residency at pretty awesome sydney venue.
Does it count as being genuinely unhappy if you don't notice it?I don't think it does! I mean this time last year I was totally miserable. All I could do to combat it was to make myself busy, and so I did, and I stopped thinking about the things that made me unhappy, and so I stopped being unhappy. You can lead yourself in the direction of the state of mind you want to be in.

Patrick you probably shouldn't tell her. I'm all for honesty in relationships but the fact that you guilty as hell about it should be enough to stop you from doing it again. If you think you can't then you should probably just break up with the lady as clearly long-distance relationships are not particularly easy on either party.This feeling, I know. I sympathize.
I had my graduation ceremony yesterday. As well as having a Bachelor of Arts (Psychology) from the University of Western Sydney I now have a Graduate Diploma of Psychological Studies. All up I have spent about $55,000 on the two of these qualifications and now I'm having a bit of a crisis of confidence.
While at the graduation ceremony I was listening to the people around me tell their friends about how they've gone on to do their Masters or they've started a medicine degree so they can do Psychiartry, or they've just gotten awesome internships or rad degree relevant jobs that seem to be totally fulfilling and give them a sense of purpose. The whole time I couldn't help thinking that shit, these people are all significantly smarter than me. I now have two qualifications that in the end don't mean shit because I can't get a job in anything that isn't data analysis and it turns out that I am really fucking shit at data analysis as I have been fired from all the DA jobs I've had within 3 months of being hired. I have a psych degree and a graduate diploma and I'm working a fucking call centre job doing bullshit customer service (let's gloss over the fact that I am actually really good at this). I didn't get accepted into any of the courses I applied to this year and right now I feel pretty shitty about life and, most importantly, myself. Everyone keeps going on about how proud they are of me and how proud I should be to have gotten this far and how I'm going to do so well and fuck they are going to be so disappointed when they realise that I've just wasted the last four years of my life studying for something that I will probably never be able to do on account of the fact that I am just not good enough at it.
Fuck you, depression.
Dear Blog Thread,
I have a day off! My only plans are to read a little for class and bake some cookies for a friend of mine (repaying a two year old debt). Perhaps I will go outside since it is nice, perhaps I will sit on my couch with the window open since it is nice. Who knows?! The day is mine!
Also I have found my new favorite website. (http://lookatthisfuckinghipster.tumblr.com/)

Dear Blog thread,
Today, after work, I was feeling rather down, so I called a friend. They seemed preoccupied, so it didn't help my crappy mood. Then they pointed out I will be 21 soon, which really didn't help.
In 58 days, I will be 21. I will have never gone to college. I will be working for minimum wage at a second rate video game/record store's warehouse. I will be living with my grandmother, who I don't get along with.
I'll be 21 and I will have wasted so much of my life already. I'm not going anywhere anytime soon. My life isn't going to change. I will still be worthless. What have I done with my life? I'm not in college. I can't afford to go, and I have no portfolio, and I couldn't get into one I want anyway. I don't really have any friends, and can't make them. What do I have to show for being alive for 21 years? I am fucking pathetic.
And now I can't breathe and am going to choke to death on my snob and tears and my fucking jaw and throat hurt.
Please remind me why people even pretend to care about me?
What is good to get rid of a terrible cough? This one has plagued me for far too long.

Neil Buchanan and Art Attack when I was a kid
Patrick, as someone who has been cheated on, here is my opinion. If you want to work things out with your current gf, tell her what you did and work past it. If not, do not tell her. Seriously. If you break up and she knows you cheated, she's going to think it's all her fault and get seriously depressed and it's not worth her trouble. i realize it would ease your conscience and all, but I know I'd rather have someone say "hey, it's not working out" than "oh hey, i fooled around with this other chick so I don't think we should work at this anymore." I'm probably very wrong and honesty is the best and blah blah blah, but that's just my take on it. I wouldn't want to know.
Also I bombed a physics final today, why am I not good at deriving equations for use in centripetal force equations? It is crazy.

Patrick: I'm getting this feeling that you are only breaking up with your girly because your dick is craving wet holes. If she makes you happy, isn't just wanking away the lust an alternative? It's a long time, yes, but in the end... Worth it?
Its totally broke down and dirty as hell because it's my family's reject wii, but it didn't cost me a dime, and came with all the games they had downloaded! Which is like two screens completely filled with games. After a good cleaning and maybe some basic repairs, it'll be as good as new.
I think I went a little crazy when I went to the library 2 towns over. They have a lot of books that you can only get while you're there, so when I walked out of the library I was carrying more then 30 books. I think I may have a problem.

On the other hand, Patrick how old are you? Getting tied down in a long distance monogamous relationship when you're young isn't the greatest thing, especially as you get older, because (maybe you're different) you could end up blaming each other for not being able to explore more.

Talking to someone is scary, though.
I have the majority of my time free and I still can't seem to get anything done.
Hat and SWM, can I get in on your adventures? Y'all sound like my kind of peoples.
Two, during work today the power grid fucked out for the entire campus
Got drunk on Negronis
Does anyone else type complete posts out and then just delete them, or is it just me?
Also I bought a book on the history and method of distilled spirits and now I kind of want to fuck my arts degree off and transfer to a science degree and major in organic chemistry or whatever shit you need to know to be a master brewer.
So who got shat on by a mother fucking bird? Me. What the hell...
Dear blog thread,
I am single. I don't know how long it will last, the bf wants to "work things out" and I don't think we really can.
Especially when I have a ridiculously bad case of the flu,
Here's my recommendation: http://www.unicycle.com/shopping/shopexd.asp?id=634Will most likely get this when I have enough money. Might look at a pawn shop or something. Perhaps eBay?
It might be slightly more expensive than what you were planning on getting but it's worth it. This is a great first unicycle.
So Brilliant Eraser, Dire Bacterium, Ozy, and Slick, I have seen doppelgangers of you all.
Work is so much more bearable when you can play tunes.\
24 hour Ikea would be great. It'd be a saviour for when it's 11 pm and you need martini glasses but don't have any around.
Guys, why can't Ikea be a 24 hour store? It should be.

I didn't even know what the fuck I was doing, and I'm ... Neil Young?
Actually, he's a lot like an Old Man.
Neil Young is pretty much my favourite guy.
It's not about the choice of words or how graphic it is. It's about the fact that I really don't want to hear about anybody's sex life.
Actually I could do without hearing about sex at all for, oh, six months or so. I mean have you been out there? It's just sex, sex, sex, 24/7. How about we as a society talk about trees for a while instead. I like trees. Trees are nice and we don't pay them enough attention. I wonder if Pamela Anderson has an tips about pruning? I also find myself curious to know about how David Duchovny deals with Dutch Elm Disease, and about whether George Clooney prefers oaks or birches.

My least favorite tree is the Cottonwood!!! (http://www.annunciationmonastery.org/cottonwood.jpg).

The key to new-Norwegian exams is basically to use the dictionary extensively and look up almost everything.
Generally speaking, two weeks notice is probably a wiser choice, for reference purpose and such.

Guys working in coffee shops, busy, well-represented coffee shops, is hard and long and exhausting and you smell like off milk and have filthy clothes and sweaty hair at the end of every day. Yes it is fun but it is fast paced and you always always have to have a smile on and be the nicest person ever and really however good at I am at it (I am really good) I am becoming thoroughly sick of it and if I were offered any other job in the world right now where I could come home clean and with not horribly sore feet and legs at the end of the day I would take it without a second thought.
I have seriously thought about doing a small business course thing and trying to start up a small coffee shop in sydney somewhere. It will have bookshelves on all the walls and lots of squishy comfortable chair and lounges to sit in while reading. I even had the idea where if someone was in the middle of a book and wanted to continue to read it, they could take it if they left another book to replace it. It got to the point that I started thinking about where would be a good place to have it. I would get lunchy to work there, of course. Then I remembered that it costs a veritable bucketload of money to start your own business, and I think most of them fail in the first year anyway. Bum.
Blog thread! I am headachey and crampy and therefore grumpy. It is a miserable day today and I have to go to uni this afternoon in the cold (and most likely the rain) and I don't want to. On the plus side it is only two sleeps until I go to sydney and have an awesome packed weekend. At the moment though, pretty shitty.

It's a big cluster fuck of a relationship. At this point really neither of them is more to blame then the other. I just wish they would end it and move on.

Dear diary
morning was bit bizzare because there was post-it notes every where but those were my notes most were "please eat", "i did your landry" and "hon i made some Pyttipanna (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyttipanna) for you"
You think your internet connection is bad? Ours is capped at 512Mb but is more likely to be 136Mb most of the time. Or something. Anyway it ought to be 2,000 somethings and it is nothing like, with the result that it can often take ten minutes for a page to load and when it rains we don't have any connection at all.
Actually it can't be 512Mb, I'm reading a lot of very confusing articles about broadband and they seem to suggest that the average UK broadband speed is 6Mb or 3Mb or 1Mb or at any rate not over 100.
OK I just did a test and our download speed is 0.4Mbps. Our upload speed is 242Kbps. Today is an extremely good day, it is normally no more than half the speed.
It's really fucking with me.

Emaline, you pretty much just need to go to that show and leave after 3ioB play. They're so high up on my list of bands to see.
So I probably wound up spending a combined 45 minutes studying for the exam I had today. In the end it turned out to be ridiculously easy, and I finished it in about 10 minutes. I'm pretty sure I got an A on it.
Now I just have to prepare for teaching again (I start on tuesday....no time off!)
Well it tracks the state of the economy, so probably not anytime soon. Mark and I (he's my collaborator on this project) have been thinking about re-calibrating the piece before our next show.
Who knew dressing in men's clothes could be this much fun!
Edit: Liz (?) can't you park on the street for free?
Also borrow money from someone who will not charge you interest to avoid getting evicted, if you can.
i heard 3IoB changed their singer(s) and kind of suck now, is there any truth to that? what did other people have to say about it?
Ok, I haven't seen my PC for the past couple weeks, because work sucks, and I'm never online when LOLbania is awake so can someone tell Patrick that there's an opening for a band at the Hard Rock Cafe' in Ocho Rios and FOR THE LOVE OF ROCK PLEASE DON'T GO TO ALASKA.

Blog Thread,
For a long time, my life has been dominated by two things: This rhyme -QuoteIf I were a tailor I'd make it my pride / The best of all tailors to be / And if I were a tinker, no tinker beside / Should mend an old kettle like me.
and an unfailing tendency to give up on everything I try my hand at. As you probably understand, this often leads to internal conflict. I am pretty okay at photography, but I haven't taken a picture in months. I am sort of competent at graphic design, but I haven't touched my Wacom in over a year. I am okay at writing - but I only do it at school, when I'm forced to, and every single blog project, every review, every single novella and every essay I start writing, I eventually toss away because I am incredibly unhappy with how they all turn out, they all either sound unbelievably pretentious, or they wind up as hamfisted attempts at symbolism and metaphors. I feel like I wind up on the internet way more than I should. I am ridiculously addicted to the internet - I come home from school, I sit down by the PC, and only get up to eat and sleep, though I'm not doing much of either. I haven't finished reading a book in months, even though I've started reading something like 15. This fall I am starting a literature course in university, which everyone - even the people who encouraged me to take it in the first place - is telling me is useless, and that I will probably wind up as a teacher at a high school or similar. The conversation after that usually turns to how good I am with kids and what a great teacher I'd be - but I don't want to be a teacher! My mother is, and she hates everything about it to bits. When I do read a book, it feels like I'm judging the book on the wrong criteria, and that there's something I'm missing, something I don't understand that I should understand, and it makes me feel really stupid and useless.

I should be studying for my exams, but instead I am reading about Ruby on Rails and wanting to get started on a project. Which would honestly probably be much more relevant for my degree than what I am supposed to be studying (physics), but will not help me pass any of my exams this year :/

I got accepted into a creative writing course today! I'm so excited.

you should see someone about that, seriously.
Great things
On balance? I'm glad it happened. I would do it again, although perhaps without quite as much drama and certainly without as little planning. At the same time I'm not sorry to be leaving in five months. It's been a transitory period of my life and it's time to move on.
I'm really, really sorry for unburdening all that on you guys but I was very, very close to having another psychotic breakdown last night and barely managed to stay saneSpeaking for myself only, don't worry about it...that's kinda the point of this thread, and besides, people here more or less tend to like each other!
This sounds like where I am living. Yours sounds worse, but I know that I have had to deal with people snorting coke in school bathrooms and going around town and school drunk and stoned out of their gourds. We have an open mic night that is sometimes small but it needs to be promoted more! Where there is such misery and boredom and oppression, there will be artists, I have no doubts about it. Those are the people that need to be reached and brought to show their works, show their songs and poetry. Sometimes our open mic only consists of three people, sometimes over a hundred. It just takes time.
What also really helps an open mic, I've noticed, is when a band is playing. People are far more likely to come see a band than see people reading poetry (no offense! I really love poetry myself, but this is true!)
I just read a story about a man who was seated on the toilet to make use of it and felt "a sharp, knife-like pain" in his penis. When he looked down at his penis, there was a big snake. It was biting him on the penis.

Blogosaurus Rex,
So I've been teaching for an entire three days, and I already hate a good chunk of my students. We tell them exactly what they need to do in the beginning of lab, they have the exact protocol in their manual, and yet they still screw up because they don't pay attention at all. The worst ones then get mad at Chris (the other TA) and I when they have to repeat something even though we told them what to do in the first place! The good news is that I have some beautiful reddish pink bacteria growing in lab, and I'm somewhat excited to be starting a project that might actually potentially result in publishable data.
Oh, and I have to get up in 6 hours, but I will probably spend the next 3 online doing absolutely nothing. I'm a winner like that!
Hey QC, I'd like to introduce you to my new diet plan, proven by students everywhere- Exam Stress™ . A combination of worry and forgetting to eat for hours on end while typing term papers has caused me to lose about 10 pounds in the last week and a half, dipping me towards an underweight BMI. I don't recommend it.I eat more when I'm studying for exams than I usually do. It's probably because I am home all the time and there is lots of food here, and also because I eat when I get nervous or bored or hungry or there are slight changes in my emotional state either way or there is no change.
yo katie on the bright side you're getting paid
Oh oh another positive thing about my job is that even though I make $2.13 an hour and by Georgia state law when I don't make up to $6.50 in tips my boss is supposed to comp me the rest in my paycheck and he usually doesn't,
sometimes he does!
(I work 39 hours a week. Why do I keep ending up at places that will make me work 39.5 hours a week but if I stay too late or forget to clock out they throw hissy fits because I have stayed for 40 hours and oohhh god that is fulltime can't be having that)
As a science student who has spent innumerable hours in labs, they don't pay attention because it's boring! When you have the lab manual telling you exactly what to do and what to look for and how to interpret the results, and then you have a couple of TAs and a professor spit the information out at you again, it gets really frustrating because it seems like everyone thinks you're an idiot when you're not, and you're hearing the same thing regurgitated four and five times, and like twice was enough we get it already.
(p.s. One of our students once put LB in the electrophoresis tank. It was labelled LB! The buffer was labelled TBE buffer! Fuck!)
Bad part: on Wednesday, the first friend I ever made on 'Akademi' got eliminated. She was a real sweetheart and I am really down over it. Kinda puts a little damper on the Good Things mentioned above, but life goes on. My voter ranking is pretty piss-poor lately, so I am probably next. So that's good, I guess. I'll be disappointed if I get eliminated on a night when I don't even sing.
Love,

Tony, Okay, first this is a classic example of a very very forced pun. A pun so damn forced that YOU HAVE TO EXPLAIN THE PUN IN THE PUNCHLINE. That's pretty much the first fucking rule of a joke is that you don't have to explain the punchline because then it's not funny you twat. Fortunately for you, the amount of funny stayed exactly the same by explaining the punchline by which I am saying that your joke sucked since apparently you are too goddamn stupid to understand things without explaination.
Most people do not have lunch meat for dinner. Was asking what they eat for lunch really endangering your masterfully crafted joke?

It is a sign that I have been doing too much Law revision that as I read that, I was mentally cataloguing the property offences you could be convicted of based on your actions in this scenario. It's an impressive catalogue, let me tell you! Although as we learnt in the first module, you'd be unlikely to be prosecuted for them due to the Crown Prosecution Service's policy guidelines (and also, you know, the part where you don't live in a country that uses English law).
Also, Jens, Waiting Room can pretty much fix everything.

D&D
Exalted
Werewolf
See, that's my problem with the alignment system in D&D to begin with: far too simple, far too black and white. I wouldn't call your actions "good" really. You did try to get your way through intimidation and you did put your hands around a young girl's neck. But it should really be up to you whether those are things that are acceptable for your character given the circumstances, and not some rigid bullshit alignment system. Anyway, if your GM is making that big a stink about it, just offer to change your alignment to lawful neutral and be done with it.
ROLE-A-MA-PLAYINGJason was right. No way does that strike me as the actions of a lawful good cleric. Hell, think of it in meatlife - if you grab someone by the throat, that ain't good, right? The Exalted one sounds like a fair gripe.
Not looking forward to the interpersonal violence portion of the class, though.
What do you mean by "raw" milk? Do you mean unhomogenised milk? Milk straight from the cow?Sort of. I know that it's pasteurized but I don't think it's homogenised.
Raw milk is unpasteurized, that's what makes it "raw". It's also illegal in a lot of places, including all of Canada. Dairy farmers aren't even allowed to give it away (except to their immediate family), that's how illegal it is.
I'd like to try it. I am a milk snob.

Scotland is so fucking wet
What, WHAT, WHAT
Your are doing Scotland entirely wrong if all you've experienced is drizzle. It pisses it down, my drive turns into a river sometimes. Get your ass over to the west coast and experience some proper Scottish weather. If Edinburgh is anything like Dundee in terms of weather (it probably is) then I can see where your coming from, but man the rest of Scotland is so fucking wet. I woke up this morning after getting back from Dundee yesterday and in my sleepy state I was half convinced my bed room had been flooded because of the odd sloshy wet noise. It turned out it was just raining so intensely outside that it made the sound of a river.
It's illegal because of brucellosis (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brucellosis). It's an incurable bitch of a disease that you don't want. Ever.
Also is there any D&D or similar RPG that allows you to not neccesarily take part in combat? I mean not to rule it out because beating the living hell out of things can be both cathartic and relevant to the story but just sometimes I would like to see an RPG having a sort of war of words and diplomatic conflict rather than a simple "beat up the giant robots" one.

Patrick, it's probably all part of the exhaustion fallout -- you kinda lose control of your body and emotions for a bit. If you can this weekend, just take time to relax, eat well, get some mild exercise (a good walk or something on that level), try at least not to think about the stressful things. Keep alcohol etc. consumption down to really low levels if not cut out altogether for a few days (but don't stress on this either).
The music is still there, your body and mind just need to have a mini vacation so you can come back to it strong as ever. Hang in there.

I want to live in a house that doesn't have any cracks in the walls or flaking plaster or tiles falling off the bathroom wall.
i didn't know that xx merge existed and now i know but it doesn't matter because all the tickets are sold out and i can't go.
i am so sad right now it hurts :(

First off I'd like to thank OWW (your name is Joe, right?) for inspiring me to be completely open and honest about my feelings. I met a girl last night and I straight up told her that i liked her and wanted to see her again. Being completely drunk (see below) and not quite coherent didn't help though. She was very confused and didn't know what to say. Then my cousin (who was with her) told me she had a boyfriend. Of some sort. I'm still very glad that I was so open and honest.
What the hell do you do at an office job you guys, I have not had one before

Dear Phone company,The monopoly phone company around here, in an attempt to reshape their business (read: rebrand/rebadge their crap) has changed their name to LIME (Landline, Internet, Mobile and Entertainment)- the irony and jokes...- and once when their crappy internet service went down, I called and had them fixed it over the weekend. This was about 1 and a half months ago.
Please stop calling me and trying to get me to change my plan or get my home phone onto your company. I am happy with my plan. If I wanted to change it I would go to my local optus shop and ask about it. Also, if I say I will not use a data plan, please do not just try and put me on one anyway "just in case". I don't look at the internet on my phone, so don't assume that now I can I will.
You are calling me basically every day and I am ignoring your calls but it is getting to be rather annoying. Stop it.

Today it occurred to me that I'm an adult with a job, a house and credit cards etc and thus, there's really nothing to stop me from buying big fuck off tubs of sweeties like you get in candy stores online. I could legitimately have my own goddamn penny sweet stall in my own home. I'd probably save money in the longrun anyhow.
I mean honestly, why the shit not?

After I had bought my lunch today a man approached me outside the sub shop. He said his name was Moses and that he was staying in the shelter down the street with his wife and kid and asked if I could buy him lunch. I know that someday I might need someone to buy me lunch, so, I told him that we could go over to taco bell and that he should get like 10 or 15 dollars worth of food. I didn't care if he was conning or not, I don't know either, I bought a stranger lunch because he asked me to, and I told him good luck, he thanked me a lot of times for it. I feel pretty good.

If I could go back in time the Avalanches would be one of the bands I would see, and tell my past self to go see as well. Shit, maybe I'd drag him out with me. I saw them one time not so long ago and they were still one of the best acts I've ever seen. To see them back then around the time the album was released would have been great.

Dear blog thread, since last time I've stepped in shit. I mean real, human shit. I stepped in it. Because some fuck had left his shit on the floor in front of the bathroom stalls, in front of the sinks, and I don't usually start checking the floor before I get close to the actual toilet.
Duuuuude I saw them before they released Since I Left You and El Producto was still hot shit. I think I must've been about 16 or something.

That happened once in the restroom at the store I worked at (though I didn't step in it). WTF is up with that? At least the urinal deuces (4 times during my tenure) made sense in a you-gotta-be-fucking-kidding-me way.
Unfortunately, by the time the bastard sun got bright enough that I couldn't see my image anymore, that girl had gotten off the train. I guess she was too shy to give me her adress.
In other news I've had a headache for the past three days. This headache beats up other headaches and calls them sissies. This headache makes lewd phonecalls to your grandmother. This headache wants to return to the Golden Standard.

I HAVE to get that guy to understand that he is required BY LAW to do certain things other than collect a check every month.
Due to my dumbass landlord not fixing my leaky bathtub I now have toxic black mold growing in my apartment. No matter how many times I clean it up with bleach cleaner it keeps coming back. I read up on it and found out it won't go away for good unless I dry out my apartment and get that freaking leak fixed.

I don't think you understand. It's not my birthday.
This morning they've been really getting on my back because they think it's weird that I'm constantly cheerful, or smiling, or laughing to myself about something that I've read or remembered.
It just really bothers me that people would rather I be miserable to fit in, and that they don't know how hard it was for me to get myself to a place where I could be okay with just accepting and embracing my life.
I guess this is the downside to my new strategy of "Ask girls out soon after I've first met them, so that I don't waste months of my life pining after them." Still I'd like to see her some time soon just so I can clear the air, because we've got some mutual friends and it'd be really crappy if she thinks she has to be all awkward and uncomfortable around me. People take this asking-out-or-being-asked-out business way too seriously.

Jodie I am so happy for your cat but you already have a cat you have too many cats so what I suggest is that you give me the tiny cup of delicious kitten coffee.
I hate whole wheat bread.
So I take it I will need to look elsewhere for driving lessons? I mean I'm glad you got a rad job but I was hoping to capitalise on your poverty a while longer.
Also I'm going to another flat inspection tomorrow. It is in Glebe for those of you who know the area, it is right down near the water and has a great view of the city and oh man if it is as nice as the pictures I hope I hope we get it.

But we kind of flirt (I'm just naturally flirty and I sometimes don't realize it) and I think I led him on, so I feel really badly... I don't want anyone to get in any trouble. I also really don't want to lose this job, and I'm feeling right now like I should quit.

Because otherwise he might kick you out of your house/ raise rents to a ridiculous degree? Not too impune your reasons for staying with him, I just thought that that might be one of them.
That is a shit reason to stay with someone. Kylos, is this a one time thing, or does he steal often? It could have just been a Raskolnikov moment where he just wanted to know what it was like to steal something.We're talking about a grown man, right?

Guys,You and I need to have serious talks (Mostly ass-pats and virtual High-Fives).
One of the girls who was on the same show as me, but 2 years ago, added me on Facebook. She messaged me and she wants to meet up the next time she's in Tirana, and she gave me her phone number, and didn't say anything specific regarding hookups, but when she asked about whether or not my girlfriend is waiting for me, it kinda sent some interesting implications my way. My current girlfriend knows I'm a whore and has said that she doesn't mind me doing whore stuff. If anything happens I will be sure to clear it with her first.
Somebody please tell me I'm not too horribly pathetic/creepy since I am basically trying to hook up with a chick in Macedonia over the internet.
Love,
Me!

So, earlier tonight I stepped on a chunk of glass in my room and stuck it about 3/4" into my foot...now the toe right beside my pinkie toe doesn't move when I curl my toes towards the sole of my foot. There's no pain or anything, but it's definitely not working. I have a dumbtoe!

It's actually 54 :p But I thought it would be even more, and didn't know about the Sebastian-thing.
My name means husband in French, which is less awesome. "Mon mari" suddenly became very amusing to a few people in a French class when reading a text about a woman, her husband, children and work.
Well, yes, "ma Mari" would be correct if talking about me, but "mon mari" is correct when talking about the husband, and using "mon" apparently made it funnier."Mon mari" suddenly became very amusing to a few people in a French class when reading a text about a woman, her husband, children and work.
Wouldn't your name be 'ma mari' though?
To be fair, I am not sure how mitigating pronoun agreement is when it comes to embarrassment in other languages.
Maybe your class is just really bad at French, though.

I bought the 5th DVD from the series this summer and it came with a Misa figurine. She has a little skirt on.

Zingoleb, good luck with the job hunt. One thing to look into is maybe any music studios around town? Even if they aren't hiring, see if you can get some technical training in exchange for doing some basic labor around the place (I've yet to see a studio that didn't have several "in progress" projects waiting for somebody to just finish them). You'd already have a head start with your guitar knowledge, and it might lead to some opportunities later.
Dear Blog Thread,
Speaking of career exploration, I just sent in an online application to the local community college, the first step towards taking some TV production classes there. They have an excellent program that places a lot of students in the local stations, so it's a practical extension of what I've been doing at the local access station. Unfortunately, the access classes and experience don't come with that magical piece of paper that says I'm qualified to do what I've already done, so it's time to go back to school after a many year absence (a failed attempt at a physics degree). :-o
Man thank god, the 14-year-old did not come over after all.
Go to bed.
Zingoleb, do you live at home? You talk about your father talking to you or borrowing his car on occasion, and I am curious.
I don't even want to know what he means by binding,

Eek, I really hope everything turns out ok! Is this the first time he's had to be taken by ambulance? Why the fuck did he have to wait that long for them to arrive?! Ambulances are for emergencies, for crying out loud!
i feel you. i also make nothing at my job and my bank balance is constantly sitting at some really tiny pathetic number which is made even more pathetic considering i already am a hermit who has no social life and never does anything fun. technically i am supposed to be saving up money for school next year but i am saving shit so now going to work has become some sort of really depressing exercise in futility.
Man thank god, the 14-year-old did not come over after all.
I really hope that wasn't the only thing that kept you from fooling around with a 14 year old.

Hey, my flatmate next year graduated from that place.
update incase anyone is curious. I remained awake till 8am with no word from my brother, so I called my mother (my brother and I don't live with our parents) explained the situation and passed the situation into her care and went to sleep. I was woken at 11 by a call from mark at the front door waiting to be let in turns out he had had kidney stones and with them removed was a has happy and healthy as ever (enough so as to walk home from the hospital)
I'm told its fun because it's a university town.
I'm told its fun because it's a university town.
guelph IS fun! and the university of guelph is the place i just got my undergrad from and where i've lived the last four years. it's got lots of wonderful independent coffee shops and friendly strangers and a summer music festival every year that is just the best thing. definitely makes stupid smelly congested markham seem that much worse in comparison :|
Man, the country is the best place for us hermits.
Also turns out that he's the reason my shit is disappearing. He steals my clothes, upended my hamper of clothing and took the hamper outside and used it to plant flowers in, then took all my pots and pans to a different house to use for dog food bowls.
On a less fun note, it appears as though my brain has added a new ingredient to my occasional panic attacks - Paranoia!
What is more fun that completely freaking out at random, for no immediately noticable reason, and also having the repeated and dreadful feeling that someone or something is behind you?
Everything. Everything is more fun than that.
Thankfully, today seems to have gone a bit better than the few before it, so there's that.
Hi blog thread! Things have been happening in my life.o/
- I broke up with my boyfriend.
- He resigned from the job we job-share.
- I have a full time job now, which is AWESOME. We were both getting promoted to do another job, and now it is just being given to me.
- New job = lots more money = travel because my debt is pretty much all but a small amount paid off now.
- Today is my birthday! I have been at work all day, but it hasn't been so bad. I am going to see some family I don't really like, then I am going home to relax and eat a yummy yummy dinner and do the presents and cake thing. I am TWENTY! I am happy happy.
- Tomorrow I am getting my hair done and heading to Sydney for GIRLY WEEKEND. I am going to shop, eat, drink and have fun! Will be awesome and I am very excited.
Hey, my flatmate next year graduated from that place.
He wouldn't happen to be a Polish guy named Charles would he?
(. . .and I could always add some of the 100% ethanol we keep gallons of to my drink at lunch). Will someone entertain me?
This is a microbiology lab, so we don't have a ton of fun chemicals to play around with.
Spelled my name out with ethanol on my bench and lit it on fire. It was awesome!That is awesome. You should have dissolved a different salt into each letter to produce a badass burning rainbow effect.
We have stuff for molecular biology (buffers like Tris and HEPES, a few solvents, acids and bases, restriction PCR and other enzymes).
Someone was mixing chemicals and making nitroglycerin in one of my chem labs. The teacher saw it, went over and pulled the fire alarm and the kid got expelled.I'm ambivalent towards that sort of zero-tolerance policy. On one hand, unsupervised energetics production is a really awful idea, even though that statement is coming from... well, an unsupervised energetics enthusiast. On the other hand, if I were a teacher I'd be showering the kids in NI3 labs and whatnot.
It might have more to do with the manufacturing of explosives being a federal crime than the schools policy.

I have had a slight mouse problem recently

The next time we went up there, the mice had somehow maneuvered all the blocks of poison into dad's slippers, and not taken a single bite out of any of them.
We put out little blocks of poison which would make them thirsty and run off and die, and I would sit at the doorway of the garage and watch a mob of mice fighting over the block of bait and see them try and drag it to various parts of the shed to try and keep it away from the others.
oh blog thread I might have mentioned this before: One weekend. fifteen adolescents with no supervision. alcohol.
see y'all monday
Get some humane traps and put them somewhere outside, far away!
Detroit is obviousl going to win.
Congrats on the piercings!
But for the love of god don't use alcohol. That is a terrible idea. These are the things you will need:
Sea Salt
8oz cup
teaspoon
Shot Glass
Warm Water
Put a teaspoon of salt in the cup, put in warm to hot water, stir it to dissolve and then pour some water in a shot glass to soak the earlobe. Soak it a couple of times per day and make sure to rinse it off to make sure you get the salt off. If it's angry you might up it to 3 times a day, but otherwise just leave it alone. Alcohol is in general going to do a lot more harm than good by irritating the hell out of it. Good luck with the healing!

Life is alright for me too! It's odd how we all seem to have good things and bad things happen at the same time at the moment (with the exception of Zingoleb's job, which may not even really be a bad thing in a way).
Dear Journal.UPDATE::
I didn't get plastered last night, but I got tipsy enough to pretend I was drunk enough to have an excuse for my behavior. Last night was fun. But I still can't stand girls that smoke. :|
man what are you talking about, cigarettes smell deliciousGross.
(don't worry, rock star is on that list)This should be on everyone's list.
The best part is I just realized last night that the fact that I am going to become an uncle in December gives me free license to buy toys! You know, so I can be a good uncle and all...gotta have stuff for the little'un to play with, right?
Are you saying you are going to shoot your infant niece or nephew with an automatic (foam) weapon? Candidacy for Best Uncle Ever, right there.
I still probably won't put out any baits to kill them. That seems like a little bit of an overreaction.
All you need now is some tattoos, hair straighteners, a six pack of XS black t-shirts and five dudes who look exactly like you.You forgot the KORG synthesizer.
I got woken up by a mouse scrabbling and chewing something for over an hour, and no matter what I did to try and scare it away it kept coming back and keeping me a awake
Job interview is tomorrow.
Kobe sucks
yiggg blog thread i got a call back for a second interview for a job i applied for a little while ago only instead of asking me to call back to schedule a time to come in, they just left me a message telling me the day and time the interview would be and to call back if there were any problems, only there is a big problem because the interview is on tuesday at noon and i am already at work all day and the people i need to talk to to reschedule this thing were not in yesterday or today which is incredibly dumb because it means i can only contact them tomorrow like two hours before the scheduled interview time to let them know i can't do it and that i need to reschedule and i don't know if this is something to freak out about or if i'm being ridiculous, because i already left a message a couple of days ago saying that i needed to reschedule, but i really need a second job and nobody is hiring and i'm so stupid broke and i can't afford to fuck this up, man, fuck, damnit.Maybe somebody can cover that shift? Good luck tania!
Do you think if I put up a notice looking for band members in a local record shopppe ( one-up, Tommy) anyone would actually reply? I'm 17, surely all 17 year olds want to be in bands.
The existing flyers on the stairs of that store are already this ridiculous. I used to take photos of them with my phone because they were so funny. I will provide examples next time I am in town. One time I put my own flyers up there and got no responses at all. Very sad.
Hey are you going to see Neil Young? Someone kindly sent me a ticket for my birthday.

I hear there is this thing that is going around, and it may shock you to know, it's called... The flu. He could just have that.
I hope you know that Jamaican Obeah is a much stronger force than Voodoo.

I found out today that people write fanfiction with characters from the Bible. Is this common knowledge? I was pretty surprised, although I guess I shouldn't have been. It is the Internet, after all.
That would explain the little known apocryphal "Book of Moses/Cullen"
You mean you're not interested in Bible/Twilight slashfic?
Hey Bloggy McBloggerton
My niece's biological father was found in a closet avoiding child support. He got locked up. The mental image of him curled up into a fetal position in the closet is hilarious.
Am I that awful a person that when it comes to an occasion that reminds everyone about my birth it makes my father want to get catatonically drunk?
