I'm tired and I can't sleep anymore.
I'm angry and I have nothing to throw.
I have to decide whether to take the job in New Orleans and leave everything I know in LA - but then I think well it's okay because I hate LA anyway.
I was supposed to have called my sister back yesterday, and my best friend this morning, and I forgot. It makes me feel bad.
I drank two bottles of champagne by myself and I wasn't celebrating anything.
There are some dreams I'd rather not dream.
I like green apples way better than avocados.
Right now, I'm a little bit high and I wonder if little brain cells scream when they die.
I wonder if Spencer will grow up to have as wonderful a life as the one I dream for him? I just want him to be happy...
I'm frustrated and just once I'd like to get what I want.
Sometimes I'd really really like it if I could just scream when I wanted to.
I think my co-worker might not be as annoying as I've said she is. Except she isn't.
I'm a little scared that I won't be good enough to do what I want to do after grad school.
I'm almost 31 and that bothers me way less than 27 did.
I really wish I were clever.
I stayed at my mom's house last night and you know, it's still really fucking cool to have your mom make you breakfast.
I'm angry that my godson died and I can't tell his mother.
I worry that my father will die alone.
I think that being Spencer's mom is the most amazing thing I've ever known.
I think that sometimes I am unbearably twee.
I really hope my brother and sister are happy.
I think when it's 12:53 am and your favorite song comes on, you should be allowed to turn it up all the way and not feel like you've done something terrible on the scale of having just run over your neighbors collective families. With Godzilla. (Not that you could run anything over with godzilla really unless the something were very small and your godzilla had wheels on the bottom).
I'm really glad that I know y'all.

This is the post where I say: I'm glad I know you too, and I think everyone else who does is glad as well.

― oops (Oops), Sunday, 18 May 2003 07:18 (twenty-two years ago)

This is the post where I add:

I really think I should not be allowed to post when I am not sober.
I kiss the person who invented Excedrine Migraine. Oh and Jack Daniels. And coconut rum. And gin. And poprocks. And candles that smell like vanilla. And the smell of baby shampoo.
That man out there in the big wide world, you know who you are, you may or may never read this, but I love you like breathing.
I bet Hotwheels really doesn't have a lifetime guarantee. How the fuck long is the lifespan of a hotwheel anyway? Until *wham* you smash it with a rock?
I more drunk I become, the better pool player I am.
I don't care what anyone says, yes, dammit, I will like being a wrinkled 80 year old woman with tattoos.

― luna (luna.c), Sunday, 18 May 2003 08:01 (twenty-two years ago)

I'd also like to add:

Oops is a doodyhead.

Oh, REAL mature, fartknocker

The bestest fartknocker in the whole wide world (there, happy?)

One night I'd like to sneak around LA and disconnect people's car alarms. With bricks.

― luna (luna.c), Sunday, 18 May 2003 09:03 (twenty-two years ago)

This is the post where I:

Resent the fact that I'm using the "This is the x where I:" mould.
Feel good about myself, because I have some pretty good qualities.
Feel arrogant for the above line, and more so for having toned it down in rewriting it three times.
Feel trite for the above line.

― Andrew (enneff), Sunday, 18 May 2003 13:44 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm listening to Big Head Todd & the Monsters' "Bittersweet" and I'm remembering how much it reminds me of how I felt when I was married.
A little light looks through her bedroom window.
She dances and I dream, she's not so far as she seems,
Of brighter meadows, melting sunsets,
Her hair blowing in the breeze.
And she can't see me watching.
And I'm thinking love...
It's bittersweet, more sweet than bitter, Bitter than sweet.
It's a bittersweet surrender.
I'm older now.
I work in the city.
We live together.. But it's different from my dream.
Morning light fills the room. I rise.
She pretends she's sleeping.
Are we everything we wanted?
And i'm thinking love...
It's bittersweet, more sweet than bitter, Bitter than sweet.
It's a bittersweet surrender.
I know we don't talk about it.
We don't tell each other.
All the little things that we need.
We work our way around each other.
As we tremble and we bleed.

It's bittersweet, more sweet than bitter, Bitter than sweet.
It's a bittersweet surrender.

― anthony easton (anthony), Sunday, 18 May 2003 18:19 (twenty-two years ago)

I think I'm ready to start writing again.
Sarah McLachlan's 'I Will Not Forget You' always makes me a little bit sad.
Why does she have one song called "I Will Not Forget You" and another called "I Will Remember You," anyway?
Someone told me last night that I write exactly the way that I speak, and that made me happy.
For all I bitch about there being no seasons, the weather in Los Angeles really is beautiful most of the time.
Wearing red socks makes me feel good.
There is nothing more quintessentially Californian to me than the palm tree I see outside my window - especially when backlit by a sunset.
I hate sour candy that isn't sour at all.
There is very little in my life I am more thankful for than hearing "I love you," especially when it's said by my baby boy.

― luna (luna.c), Sunday, 18 May 2003 19:36 (twenty-two years ago)

I am a melodramatic motherfucker.

― luna (luna.c), Monday, 19 May 2003 05:13 (twenty-two years ago)

I would be lost without the ILXors

It is sad but true.

I would also be not lost, BUT COMPLETELY FUCKING DEAD, without the folxs at Ships Loung in the EDT (East Dallas Texas).

I wish I could be Tracye and Di but I am not.

The love in my life comes from the other kids my age who visit an oldtimers' bar every single night in preparation for our ultimate destiny. Is this a bad thing? I don't know.

Tonight my crush band's alter ego, The Boys Named Sue, played a medley of Longgone Lonsome Blues by the supreme Hank and a nearly flawless transtition into Lose Yourself by Eminem. I was wetting myself with excitement. A band of young cuties who play stand up bass, fiddle, pedal steel *AND* Eminem are unbelivably exciting to me and make my life worth living.

I had a group sex dream about these boys last night. The whole night tonight during their show it kept me giggling. I am glad. These are good things.

The Groove Armada would like to state, for the record, that they see you baby, shaking that ass.

Sometimes you can learn good things from bad dreams.
People can be so confusing and frustrating, especially when you REALLY care about them.
I'm very grateful for this thing called ILXOR.
GOOMH. Actually, no, stay in my head. ;-)

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Monday, 19 May 2003 13:33 (twenty-two years ago)

It's good to have people around who *get* me
What does feeling like a Natural Woman feel like, and why does it involve looking out on the morning rain?
I'll GOOYH if you GOOM... but then again, not.
I've had two Jolts this morning - all the sugar AND TWICE THE CAFFEINE, BABY. I feel like a hummingbird. On crack.
Being in love really is the best feeling ever.
McDonald's hash browns rocked my fucking world this morning.

I got a lot of funny looks at the grocery store yesterday when I laughed out loud at a hummingbird feeder that had written on it "Hummers Galore".
I am papa, and I don't take no mess. Even when it's my son's birthday (he turned 4 yesterday).
I'm not sure which is weirder, knowing that my son has been alive for 4 years (er 4 years & 9 months) or that I've been a daddy for 4 years (er 4 years & 9 months).
A 4-year-old boy, a toy light-saber, and a talking Homer Simpson bop bag = possibly the hardest I've ever laughed in my entire life.

N'awlins owns decadence. You'll love it.

My biggest fantasy at the moment involves a big bed with a fluffy white comforter and pillows, soft sheets, in a room overlooking the ocean, painted white with touches of blue here and there, got to have a balcony and french doors with sheer white curtains blowing in the breeze... I just want to get in and sleep.

I really enjoy this thread too. We should keep it floating at the top of the other threads.
There is something very soft about being in love.
I feel a need to be closer to all of my friends.
It's pretty today but it's supposed to be cold and rainy again for the rest of the week and into the weekend and that makes me feel kind of down. And sleepy.
How did I lose 2 navy blue cardigans in the past month? And a blue jacket the month before?
I feel like sunbathing today. By that I mean, getting out an old comforter, spreading out on the deck, and reading.

― Sarah McLUsky (coco), Tuesday, 20 May 2003 15:05 (twenty-two years ago)

I woke up this morning to sunshine and thought, 'great - a perfect day in Southern California.' Got to the office and looked out the window, and it sure as shit looks different 7 floors up. It's so hazy I can't even tell if the Hollywood sign is still there. New Orleans, you say? Oh yes, please.

Lavash (mediterranean shepard's bread), smoked salmon, avocado, tomato, spinach, muenster cheese, and leftover pesto sauce makes for one of the best sandwiches in the history of all mankind.
I'm apparently not a vegetarian, but a piscalatarian (I am fish eater). I'm not even sure I know how to properly spell that word.
My truck is making a really funny ('funny' like 'scary') rattly/clanky noise right now. Well not actually RIGHT NOW, cuz I'm not driving it, but I think you get me.
That little book in Kid Koala's 'Carpal Tunnel Syndrome' is absolutely adorable; and possibly the twee-est thing ever done by a turntablist.

What does it mean when someone straight-up ignores you for like an entire week, then shows up at your door with a present for your son and hangs out for hours to have really deep conversations and is really flirty and gives you those deep gazes and ARGH just make up your mind you strange little woman!?!

My wife made me fruit salad this morning for me to take to work. I love her.

matt pond pa's music, makes me run through a lot of different emotions, but when its all said and done it makes me smile.

even though my best friend of 18 years is moving away for the first time in our friendship, i think its for the best. even though i really don't mean that.

when I sit on my porch at home and look out into the horizon i see nothing but crap, i wonder what its like to look out onto the beach every morning.

I like scrabble.

― Chris V. (Chris V), Tuesday, 20 May 2003 15:21 (twenty-two years ago)

I just realized I haven't had a vacation in more than 3 years.
I also like Scrabble. Shit, I am Scrabble-Mastah!

I don't think I've gone an entire day since I was 16 without quoting at least one line from So I Married An Axe Murderer.

It would be cool to play Scrabble sometime. I alternate between an addiction to playsite scrabble and yahoo literati.

I was really worried about this week but now feel a sense of calm. Everything in my life is so incredibly uncertain, but sometimes it seems like it's all going to work out okay.

It's a cool, sunny day and I think that's just perfect.

I just ate a big bowl of kickass fruit salad that a friend made for me.

― JuliaA (j_bdules), Tuesday, 20 May 2003 15:36 (twenty-two years ago)

Sometimes I just have to let go and enjoy the ride, however long or short it may be.

I'm starting now.

huh huh...you said "enjoy the ride"...huh huh < /beavis>

Sorry. I blame hsten...er, coffee. Strong coffee.

This is the part of the post where I say:

Coffee is good.

It really sucks when your clients try to deny that they have done things that you have PHYSICAL EVIDENCE of them doing (such as having signed this exclusion form I hold IN MY FRIGGIN HAND, etc).

It sucks even worse when they bitch you out for it.

It sucks even WORSE when you let it get to you.

Coffee is very good.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Tuesday, 20 May 2003 17:36 (twenty-two years ago)

My boss is a dumbass.
Yesterday he was in a great mood (because business is booming). He put both feet up on his chair and spinned around and around and then used his hands to push off from the desk and walls...
Anyways, today he was in a horrible mood to make up for it. And he's been taking it out on me. And I'm not liking him very much.

But I am riding it out. Not quite enjoying the ride like luna, but riding it out anyway.

― Sarah McLUsky (coco), Tuesday, 20 May 2003 17:40 (twenty-two years ago)

A pre-emptive 'settle down beavis' before nick gets carried away with riding references again...

My boss is also a dumbass. I've been doing this longer than she's been an attorney, but she still feels the need to second-guess just about everything I tell her. When it turns out, as it usually does, that I'm right, she shrugs, smiles what I imagine she believes to be a "whoops, I made a mistake, but I'm so cute, you can't hold it against me" smile (which makes me want to hit her) and says, "Well, *I* didn't know." NO I KNOW YOU DIDN'T, YOU DUMB SHIT, THAT'S WHY I FUCKING TOLD YOU, ARE YOU MENTAL???

At times like that, I re-read an email my girlfriend sent me once:

Picture yourself near a stream.

Birds are softly chirping in the crisp, cool mountain air.

No one knows your secret place.

You are in total seclusion from that hectic place called "the world."

The soothing sound of a gentle waterfall fills the air with a cascade of
serenity.

The water is clear.

The temperature is perfect.

There is a light cool breeze.

You can just make out the face of the person you're holding under the water.

There now...........aren't you feeling better already?

― luna (luna.c), Tuesday, 20 May 2003 17:44 (twenty-two years ago)

The Universe is fucking with me. I don't know what I did for all this bad karma, but I think must have run over an elderly nun walking twins in a stroller and carrying a backpack full of baby seals in a past life.

Wait, why is this bad Luna? Also, what is the job?

― That Girl (thatgirl), Tuesday, 20 May 2003 19:39 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh it's not really bad - just sort of bad timing - the job is essentially what I do now, but less shit work, more administrative stuff. I don't know why they want me so badly - perhaps because one of my bosses knows the guy and I know Jay called him and they talked about me. Either way, it's a little weird.

― luna (luna.c), Tuesday, 20 May 2003 19:44 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm a little tiny bit worried.

Only a tiny bit? you're doing better than I would.

More nonsense, please.
Luna, you will be a southern queen in new orleans, eating gumbo and looking out your long, old windows at the cablecars.
I was up all night, feeling sick. So I'm dead tired at work. Blah.
I got new clothes last night when I went shopping with my mom and sister but it's too chilly today to wear them. Instead, I'm wearing all black to mourn having to come to work when I feel sick and tired.
I have band practice with one band tonight and another tomorrow. There is this feeling in the air like my bf and I are star-crossed lovers just because we won't be able to hang out much tonight or tomorrow night. Oh, woe is us!

I am about to try a Cranberry Apple breakfast bar.

― Sarah McLUsky (coco), Wednesday, 21 May 2003 11:51 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm worried to the point of throwing up over what's happening.

I wish I had band practice, but I haven't been in a band for 8 years.

I really enjoy getting drunk with my Dad. I really enjoy getting drunk with my uncles. I really enjoy getting drunk with my friend John. I see a pattern forming here...

I'm going to be taking a long drive in July. It's going to be the greatest thing I've ever done. Being the idiot that I am I'm sad about it being over before I've even started out.

I am the luckiest son of a bitch alive.

― Bryan (Bryan), Wednesday, 21 May 2003 12:37 (twenty-two years ago)

Bryan, Why don't you put out ads looking for bandmates?

It is incredibly dark outside my window. I am sleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeppppppyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy.

― Sarah McLUsky (coco), Wednesday, 21 May 2003 12:44 (twenty-two years ago)

Sarah, that's a good idea. I have friends that I could play with, so maybe I should get back at it. Might be bad, though!

― Bryan (Bryan), Wednesday, 21 May 2003 12:46 (twenty-two years ago)

Who cares as long as you have fun doing it!

― Sarah McLUsky (coco), Wednesday, 21 May 2003 12:49 (twenty-two years ago)

That's the problem - I don't think I'll have much fun if it isn't good. Maybe I will. My last band (which fell apart almost as soon as it started) would've been shitty - a NoMeansNo rip-off band, so if I can be involved with something at least marginally original I might be excited enough to not care if it kinda sucks. Thanks Sarah!

― Bryan (Bryan), Wednesday, 21 May 2003 13:15 (twenty-two years ago)

My band played a gig last night, we didn't even start until midnight, and I'm...EGG. ZAWS. TED.
This god-damned (wonderful) woman only confuses me more and more with every single day that goes by. I'm worried that's one of the reasons I like her so much.

It is dark, cold, and rainy here. I've had 3 hours sleep. I'm listening to DJ Shadow. I should be sleepy...I'm not; WTF?

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Wednesday, 21 May 2003 13:45 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm sleepy enough to make up for both of us, nickalicious.
Why is there still an hour left until lunch break?

I think I'll drink more cranberry juice.

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Wednesday, 21 May 2003 15:01 (twenty-two years ago)

I slept for about three hours last night and I should be much more tired than I am.
I'm listening to Louis Armstrong and I just love him.
I'm so confused about things that I can't tell if I've been shot, fucked, powder-burned or snake-bit. But I think it will all be okay. (I swear to god, if one more person tells me 'it's probably for the best', I will fucking SCREAM).
What if I can't do it all myself?

― luna (luna.c), Wednesday, 21 May 2003 15:03 (twenty-two years ago)

You should go karaoke, but instead of singing the words, you should just scream at the top of your lungs. That would be cool + very cathartic!

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Wednesday, 21 May 2003 15:05 (twenty-two years ago)

Nah, I'm going to sing with my friend's band tonight anyway - I'll save it until then. They have no idea...

― luna (luna.c), Wednesday, 21 May 2003 15:09 (twenty-two years ago)

muahahaha!

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Wednesday, 21 May 2003 15:16 (twenty-two years ago)

Having said that, I feel pretty damned good about all of this.
The sun is shining... through the haze, true, but it's shining
I have a lot more support from my friends than I thought I would (and y'all are the best)
Things aren't going to be exactly the way I sort of wish they could be, but that will be okay, too. I can't always get what I want.
I think the biggest adventure is beginning.

I need a vacation something fierce. I haven't had one in like 3 years.

I need a vacation too. Thank god Monday is Memorial Day (though I don't think my boss realizes this yet).
Today is one of those days that I am taking comfort in one day quitting my job.
I would like to kick back a few (for me, that means one or less and then I'm crazy).
It's freezing in my office too. And wet outside too.
I MISS MY CARDIGAN SWEATERS!

Damn straight! Sometimes the adventure can start off slowly, but there is always one to be had....

I actually slept for 5 hours last night. It's like anyone else sleeping 8 - I feel good.
I talked to my ex sister in law's brother yesterday, and he said if I do make the move, I can rent his condo from him and it's very cool.
I found someone who can fix all the body damage to my car, and he's going to give me a break on it because he loves old Mustangs, so while I'm upset about the accident, I think it will be okay.

If my girlfriend complains one more time about "all the packing" she has to do, I will kick something. Nine months' accumulation on top of "what you brought with you in a compact car from your folks'" has nothing on "everything I own because I moved here permanently."
And did I mention I'm revising a frickin book manuscript while packing, and that I'll probably spend the last day of doing so sitting on the floor with the computer because the movers will have taken my furniture?
I better take a shower now, cause the movers will be here soon for their estimate and box-providing.

― Tep (ktepi), Thursday, 22 May 2003 16:12 (twenty-two years ago)

I have absolutely no excuse for climbing up on top of that water tower when I was drunk the other night.
Climbing on water towers when you're drunk is not a very good idea.
That said...

There are few things I've experienced as fulfilling as belting out "Pit Stop (Take Me Home)" from Lovage at full volume from the top of a water tower, rip-roaring drunk.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Thursday, 22 May 2003 16:25 (twenty-two years ago)

Aimee, I was reading thinking, "what accident??" I'm *so* sorry honey.

― That Girl (thatgirl), Thursday, 22 May 2003 16:31 (twenty-two years ago)

Moving blows, and the packing is the worst part of it. I should start going through stuff now so it isn't a nightmare in August. Tep, you have my sympathies.
Nick, that sounds like FUN.
Sam, I hope your week is better than last.

I want to blow off work and go sit on a beachfront restaurant patio and drink margaritas all afternoon.

― luna (luna.c), Thursday, 22 May 2003 16:40 (twenty-two years ago)

I'd really like it if you could stop by and pick me up on your way there. That sounds perfect.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Thursday, 22 May 2003 16:47 (twenty-two years ago)

(Of course, that would entail "stopping by" a city thousands of miles away...)

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Thursday, 22 May 2003 16:47 (twenty-two years ago)

I would if I HAD A FUCKING CAR! When I move to Louisiana, I'm gonna be taking lots of roadtrips, so one day we'll absolutely do this, Nick.

― luna (luna.c), Thursday, 22 May 2003 16:49 (twenty-two years ago)

Maybe poetic justice will come to the asshat who hit your car, and a giant bear will sit on him or something.

― Nicole (Nicole), Thursday, 22 May 2003 16:50 (twenty-two years ago)

Ah, I'm upset about the car, but shit, the guy is an illegal, has 5 kids and works as a gardner in my neighborhood - he's got a beater of a car and no insurance. I could sue him, but for what? We all fuck up, sometimes you get distracted and I just can't waste my time being mad at someone for making a mistake.

― luna (luna.c), Thursday, 22 May 2003 17:04 (twenty-two years ago)

Will your insurance cover it? (Your rates will probably drop when you move to Nola -- I thought they were high here because I was used to what my ex paid when her car was registered in Texas, but everyone else says they're pretty low compared to America.)

― Tep (ktepi), Thursday, 22 May 2003 17:07 (twenty-two years ago)

I have a $500 deductible, but I'm talking to them about it right now - I think I'll be okay, but it's more money to pay out that I don't have. I JUST got it back from the body shop from the last of the work to make it perfect last Thursday. They will LOVE me.

― luna (luna.c), Thursday, 22 May 2003 17:10 (twenty-two years ago)

(Other local benefit: you will probably be the queen of your workplace, because there is zero work ethic or work expectation here. My ex managed to write most of her dissertation while on the job in a law firm, because they were giving her a week to do work she would have been expected to do in a half-day when she had more or less the same job in Philly. This may also drive you nuts when you realize "this has to be out by five o'clock" often means "or sometime Friday, if I get around to it after my three-hour lunch at Gallatoire's.")

― Tep (ktepi), Thursday, 22 May 2003 17:12 (twenty-two years ago)

If they bring me back cocktails, I won't care and I will also be the best secretary evah.

― luna (luna.c), Thursday, 22 May 2003 17:14 (twenty-two years ago)

I could sue him, but for what? We all fuck up, sometimes you get distracted and I just can't waste my time being mad at someone for making a mistake.

Sam, you just made my day - thank you.

Twenty-five boxes of books. I have twenty-five boxes of books. We're moving 2200 pounds of stuff, and most of it is my books.

I also have buttermilk pie. God love the southland.

Ditto what That Girl said.

Soft-shell crab, snowballs, gumbo, a poboy, a daiquiri, beignets. And goddammit why doesn't anyone sell Nectar anymore?

― Tep (ktepi), Thursday, 22 May 2003 18:13 (twenty-two years ago)

It's always a good idea to add "Uninsured motorist" car insurance, wherever you go.. yeah, it's a little more a month, but that way, the insurance company will take care of the dirty work in case you do get hit by an uninsured motorist.

― donut bitch (donut), Thursday, 22 May 2003 18:17 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh I have it - I just had to deal with some jerk off at the insurance company this morning who is arguing with me about what they'll pay because of how old my car is. I think it will ultimately be cool.

― luna (luna.c), Thursday, 22 May 2003 18:20 (twenty-two years ago)

Uninsured coverage is required by law in Kentucky, with at least a $25K limit; I'm kinda surprised it's not required in other states.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Thursday, 22 May 2003 18:21 (twenty-two years ago)

Damn you, luna, you're gonna get all the good New Orleans stuff I leave behind!

I mean: Yay luna, you get to have all the good New Orleans stuff I leave behind.

I'm totally going to become like my ex, who can't eat Mexican food in places like, well, Louisiana or Pennsylvania or etc., cause growing up in San Antonio set her standard. I'm gonna walk by some "Cajun Bonanza Buffet!" in Bloomington and just chuckle sadly.

― Tep (ktepi), Thursday, 22 May 2003 18:27 (twenty-two years ago)

I'll fed-ex it to you.

― luna (luna.c), Thursday, 22 May 2003 18:28 (twenty-two years ago)

You can't fed-ex Cajun food! You only mail someone blackened seafood if it's a message that Luca Brasi is sleeping with the catfish.

― Tep (ktepi), Thursday, 22 May 2003 18:32 (twenty-two years ago)

You are so wrong. It can be done. Not quite as well as the whoopie pies I make my girlfriend fed-ex me every so often, but it can be done.

― luna (luna.c), Thursday, 22 May 2003 18:34 (twenty-two years ago)

(And yeah, I know blackened seafood isn't Cajun. Not the point.)

― Tep (ktepi), Thursday, 22 May 2003 18:34 (twenty-two years ago)

But it wouldn't be piping hot from the pan/oven/whatever!

― Tep (ktepi), Thursday, 22 May 2003 18:34 (twenty-two years ago)

― luna (luna.c), Thursday, 22 May 2003 18:35 (twenty-two years ago)

Don't forget Mardi Gras & Jazz Fest!

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Thursday, 22 May 2003 18:37 (twenty-two years ago)

It's just that not-up-to-par Cajun food would only make me wistful for the real thing.

Actually, the stuff I'll miss, foodwise, isn't even distinctly Cajun or Creole, it's just stuff like fresh crab and snowballs and so on. Jambalaya, gumbo, blackened redfish, there's none of that I can't do myself.

― Tep (ktepi), Thursday, 22 May 2003 18:38 (twenty-two years ago)

Or Southern Decadence, Hallowe'en and New Year's - plus about a million other things... No way, I remember it all, and it's all gonna be MINE!

― luna (luna.c), Thursday, 22 May 2003 18:39 (twenty-two years ago)

Fine, you be that way.

― luna (luna.c), Thursday, 22 May 2003 18:39 (twenty-two years ago)

See, I won't miss Mardi Gras, really. The novelty wore off.

luna, you can fed-ex me Zapp's and Zatarain's and Nectar syrup and roux!

― Tep (ktepi), Thursday, 22 May 2003 18:41 (twenty-two years ago)

1/2 cup butter, 2 cups sugar, 1 cup buttermilk, 3 tbsp flour, 1 tbsp vanilla, 1 tsp cinnamon, one pie crust = the best buttermilk pie you can imagine.

― Tep (ktepi), Thursday, 22 May 2003 18:48 (twenty-two years ago)

I can get Zatarain's, but it's just cheating. (However, I'll send them to you anyway).

― luna (luna.c), Thursday, 22 May 2003 18:48 (twenty-two years ago)

just...ate...jalapeno...death...imminent...

― luna (luna.c), Thursday, 22 May 2003 18:49 (twenty-two years ago)

Yeah, I reallllly don't like jalapenos. I am often - but not always - a spicy food weenie. Jalapenos are like God's little green ways of saying 'fuck you.'

― luna (luna.c), Thursday, 22 May 2003 19:46 (twenty-two years ago)

you're insane. Jalapenos are God's way of saying 'eat this shit. it's good'. they've been proven to give you a lil high

My pc had a virus, it took me all day to fix it seeing as I have no anti-virus software....but, I got it for free....

Tomorrow, Im drinking beer.

― Chris V. (Chris V), Thursday, 22 May 2003 20:06 (twenty-two years ago)

Jalapenos are God's way of saying "You're welcome." Obviously all of Aimee's theories about Moxie are now disproven.

― Tep (ktepi), Thursday, 22 May 2003 20:11 (twenty-two years ago)

Also, pickled jalapeno slices are a MUST for hamburgers, and the fact that they're available for such is one of the best things about Tulane's ballpark.

― luna (luna.c), Thursday, 22 May 2003 20:18 (twenty-two years ago)

Dude, you must try it. I mean, you can chop them and mix them in with the meat, too ... but it's better just putting them on the bun. And if you toast the bun, you can fit MORE JALAPENOS without making it soggy.

― Tep (ktepi), Thursday, 22 May 2003 20:20 (twenty-two years ago)

Sick, sick, sick.

(Although ok, fuck, I admit that I don't mind pickled jalapenos. Moxie though... blech).

― luna (luna.c), Thursday, 22 May 2003 20:25 (twenty-two years ago)

(Although ok, fuck, I admit that I don't mind pickled jalapenos. Moxie though... blech).

They're better pickled, roasted, or smoked (i.e. chipotles) than raw, cause of that thing I forget the name of that is present in green chiles and green bell peppers. Moxie roxies, though.

― Tep (ktepi), Thursday, 22 May 2003 20:27 (twenty-two years ago)

Reading all these declarative sentences in italics is some kinda trance voodoo bidness. I want to read them all out loud over a backing of strings playing staccato stabs of minor chords +4ths and a 90BPM backbeat and turn it into the 45-minute epic single of the new century. Luna, I will write a song for you.

No, I don't mean a glory-hole.

I'm gonna have to give about six of my paintings to friends because the cost to move them would be unreasonable: the paint is so thick, and pointy in places, that they can't be stacked, so I'd have to box them individually with things to protect them ... fuck it. Two of them are my favorites, though.

Hey, Tep, have you noticed the distinct and awesome lack of Formosa termites this year?

― adam (adam), Friday, 23 May 2003 02:52 (twenty-two years ago)

Lily was amazing last year: all the cars parked on the neutral grounds, every window boarded up ... I don't know if I've ever seen the city react that strongly (although I evacuated for Georges, so I don't know).

The termites didn't get me last time, so the lack isn't affecting me either, but what I AM noticing is the damn little tiny spiders. First they were all over the mailboxes, and now I keep finding one or two on the walls in here.

― Tep (ktepi), Friday, 23 May 2003 03:04 (twenty-two years ago)

Um.. spiders?

― luna (luna.c), Friday, 23 May 2003 03:05 (twenty-two years ago)

Leetle teeny spiders. I mean like spiders the size of an ant's head. (Regular ant. Not Subaru-sized ant.) They don't appear to bite, they're just the crawly version of gnats or something, but they're annoying.

― Tep (ktepi), Friday, 23 May 2003 03:11 (twenty-two years ago)

None of those for me but my dog has nuclear fleas that just won't die. They don't bite me so I don't really care but they make it hard to have company.

Well... do they stay teeny?

― luna (luna.c), Friday, 23 May 2003 03:20 (twenty-two years ago)

I hate spiders almost as much as I hate snakes

― luna (luna.c), Friday, 23 May 2003 03:21 (twenty-two years ago)

See, this is why I have cats, they stay inside. Then again, they crap in a box.

The spiders seem to stay teeny. I haven't seen any large ones. Despite the climate and everything, and having usually lived right near a canal or the lake (this apt. is an exception), I've never had a bug problem. Ants once, but the exterminator took care of them.

(But you have dogs and a sprat, so you will probably have slightly more bug problems than I had.)

― Tep (ktepi), Friday, 23 May 2003 03:24 (twenty-two years ago)

As long as they aren't spiders.

― luna (luna.c), Friday, 23 May 2003 03:27 (twenty-two years ago)

Lovebugs. Your car will be covered with them, as will your windows and door quite possibly. Mosquitos and biting insects in general are rarely a problem, unless you're traipsing through the industrial canal, in which case stop that you bag of dorks.

― Tep (ktepi), Friday, 23 May 2003 03:29 (twenty-two years ago)

(But you have dogs and a sprat, so you will probably have slightly more bug problems than I had.)

As long as we're freaking Luna out, should we mention the Giant Flying Cockroaches?

― adam (adam), Friday, 23 May 2003 03:31 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh I know about those - cockroaches don't bother me. I just really fucking hate spiders. Especially when they're in the form of a tarantula my roommate had that 'escaped' and ended up on my bed... I felt like I was Gref Fucking Brady in the Hawaii episode.

Except I don't think Greg screamed as loud or leapt clean out of the room.

― luna (luna.c), Friday, 23 May 2003 03:33 (twenty-two years ago)

The cockroaches really aren't that bad! I have had far fewer here than in Kansas City, and ninety percent of the time, they're dead when I find them.

Don't leave your doors or windows open, though, without a screen.

And I have someone spray monthly, which I'm sure helps.

― Tep (ktepi), Friday, 23 May 2003 03:39 (twenty-two years ago)

So yeah, it's just this thing...

― luna (luna.c), Friday, 23 May 2003 04:19 (twenty-two years ago)

ahh, bugs. don't get me started. the ants are everywhere now, especially in my classroom. I'll set my hand down on my desk for a moment and lift it up with stowaways.

Thank you, luna. You are a sweetheart.

When I was little we had a beautiful german shep/lab named Sweetheart, but I always spelled her name Sweatheart. Poor dog. I wonder if she's still alive. We had to give her away because we moved into a townhouse (in '96, let's see... 7years ago... and she was 6...maybe.).

― Sarah MCLUsky (coco), Friday, 23 May 2003 15:06 (twenty-two years ago)

I remember wondering about the dogs we had when I was little before we moved to Australia... then I realized that that was nearly 20 years ago (!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) and that they're both long since dead. Poor puppies.

I just got back from the beach - my best friend and I went and sat in the sand and stared at the black where the water should have been and just talked about everything and nothing. She wouldn't go in the water (weenie) but I did and wow, there's not much that will wake you up like frigid sea water at 1 am...

I made sand angels, too. Not as satisfying as snow angels, but you gotta work with what you have. I named one Gertrude.

Of the 30 to 40 paintings I've done in the last year, I can't seem to pack more than six or seven of them -- the rest are too big for the containers I have, or too ... painty. I'm glad I already took photos of the best ones.

Toss a bulb of roasted garlic into the Cuisinart with some of them there pickled jalapenos, a little salt, and some mayo, whizz whizz whizz, booyah, garlic-jalapeno mayo for your burger (to which you should add still more jalapenos).

― JuliaA (j_bdules), Sunday, 25 May 2003 12:44 (twenty-two years ago)

I woke up at 0430 this morning and decided to go to the beach - narrowly avoided the beach patrol and parked my butt in the sand with coffee and my surfboard. I'll miss that in New Orleans - not much surfing on the Mississippi, I'd imagine.

Watched the sun come up, spent some time in the water and did a little Sunday morning confessing - what better place than floating in the Pacific? Not quite the same pomp and circumstance as you get at Mass, sure, but I'm not really religious anymore, anyway.

― luna (luna.c), Sunday, 25 May 2003 19:18 (twenty-two years ago)

Songs that have been stuck in my head since about 10 this morning, oh god somebody help me:

I'm not talking 'bout moving in
and I don't want to change your life
but there's a warm wind blowing the stars around
and I'd really love to see you tonight

― luna (luna.c), Sunday, 25 May 2003 19:21 (twenty-two years ago)

then who are you confessing to?

― oops (Oops), Sunday, 25 May 2003 19:25 (twenty-two years ago)

I said not 'really' religious - all those years of Catholic school did instill in me a sense of 'I believe in God because I'm sort of afraid not to'. I just differ with the Church on what I believe God is and/or does.

― luna (luna.c), Sunday, 25 May 2003 19:27 (twenty-two years ago)

For instance, superpower or not, I don't actually really believe that God kills a kitten everytime Tep masturbates. The Pope may have a differing opinion.

I think a trip to the Vatican is in order.

― luna (luna.c), Sunday, 25 May 2003 19:28 (twenty-two years ago)

I also, and more on point, I suppose, don't believe you have to be in church to pray. My ongoing struggle with myself comes from wondering if God is a power higher than all of us, or if the sum of us is that higher power.

― luna (luna.c), Sunday, 25 May 2003 19:30 (twenty-two years ago)

Why? So Tep can masturbate in front of the Pope? It does sound like good times...
What's the point of confessing to an omnipotency?
*psst* if you still feel the need to confess, you're Catholic*

*this may be bullshit

― oops (Oops), Sunday, 25 May 2003 19:32 (twenty-two years ago)

I never said I wasn't Catholic. I went to Catholic school - it would take some mighty powerful fucking brainwashing to erase those scars from my psyche. Anyway, I never said I was confessing to anyone or anything - I was just doing it because it works for me.

― luna (luna.c), Sunday, 25 May 2003 19:35 (twenty-two years ago)

It's kinda implied in confessing that you do it to someone. but whatever. i'll shut up now.

― oops (Oops), Sunday, 25 May 2003 19:39 (twenty-two years ago)

Sometimes it's more about saying things out loud and in doing that, letting them go. < /earth cookie>

― luna (luna.c), Sunday, 25 May 2003 19:46 (twenty-two years ago)

Besides, I never said I don't believe in God - I do, partially because I do, partially because I'm afraid not to after all those hellfire and brimstone lectures by the nuns and Sister Claire telling me in the 3rd grade that I was going to hell.

What I believe in just rarely ever jives with what the church spews out.

― luna (luna.c), Sunday, 25 May 2003 19:48 (twenty-two years ago)

b-b-but you should love god, not fear him...or so i've been told

― oops (Oops), Sunday, 25 May 2003 19:50 (twenty-two years ago)

Again, I didn't say that I don't. What I'm saying is really that what I believe, and what the Catholic church tells me I should believe are usually 900 worlds away from one another.

Am I just not expressing myself at all? Have I lost that magic, too? Am I suddenly speaking Swahili? Badly? Fuck.

― luna (luna.c), Sunday, 25 May 2003 19:53 (twenty-two years ago)

And for the record, I would never suggest that Tep masturbate in front of the Pope. Or that anyone else should, for that matter. In front of the Pope, anyway. Masturbation on its own is a good thing. If you want to do it with someone dressed like the Pope, that's your own business, but I think actually doing it in front of the Pope, especially if you say I suggested it, would land me in a whole lot more trouble than even Sister Claire imagined.

― luna (luna.c), Sunday, 25 May 2003 19:56 (twenty-two years ago)

Maybe... In the long run, anyway.

― Bryan (Bryan), Sunday, 25 May 2003 23:31 (twenty-two years ago)

That was the weakest reply I think I've ever made. Sorry, Julia. Sometimes it takes some time for things to sink in, such as just how much people love you, especially when you feel like you don't deserve it.
I still stand by my statement that guacamole is a tasty dip.

― Bryan (Bryan), Sunday, 25 May 2003 23:39 (twenty-two years ago)

You do deserve it, even if you don't feel that you do. No need for apology.

You are correct. Guac rocks.

― JuliaA (j_bdules), Monday, 26 May 2003 00:01 (twenty-two years ago)

Is it possible that sometimes things *don't* happen for a reason - that they just... happen?

― luna (luna.c), Monday, 26 May 2003 00:01 (twenty-two years ago)

(Thinking about guacamole, I just got a craving for nachos, then thought of the nacho cheese link, and the craving very very quickly subsided)

― JuliaA (j_bdules), Monday, 26 May 2003 00:03 (twenty-two years ago)

(I have learned never, ever, ever to click on links in ILe that have the word 'cheese' in the title. DON'T DO IT!)

― luna (luna.c), Monday, 26 May 2003 00:04 (twenty-two years ago)

Yes, luna, all the time. We're the ones who try to find connections between events. Thanks Julia for COMPLETELY RUINING MY APPETITE FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE.

― Bryan (Bryan), Monday, 26 May 2003 00:06 (twenty-two years ago)

There are all these things, and I think this one happened to teach me this lesson, this one happened because had it not, I'd never have met my best friend, this one happened to teach me about love, about loss, about sex, about death, about the effects of being tossed into the air on a freshly fed baby, but sometimes, I think they just happen for no fucking reason at all.

― luna (luna.c), Monday, 26 May 2003 00:14 (twenty-two years ago)

And that isn't a bad thing. It's more my way of saying sometimes I over-analyze things and try to label them and shove them in boxes where they don't always necessarily want or need to go... sometimes I can just let go and leave what will happen to happen and enjoy it as it comes.

― luna (luna.c), Monday, 26 May 2003 00:18 (twenty-two years ago)

I have never, to my knowledge, masturbated in the presence of the current Pope.

― Tep (ktepi), Monday, 26 May 2003 01:21 (twenty-two years ago)

Nor would I suggest you should!

― luna (luna.c), Monday, 26 May 2003 01:30 (twenty-two years ago)

(sorry, Bryan)

Only the current Pope?

― JuliaA (j_bdules), Monday, 26 May 2003 01:44 (twenty-two years ago)

Well, who knows who may end up Pope in the future. I can't disavow witnessed autoeroticism in the presence of any potential Popes, not in good conscience.

― Tep (ktepi), Monday, 26 May 2003 01:58 (twenty-two years ago)

My kitchen is packed, except for the stuff to see me through this week, which includes a bottle of Bacardi Ciclon and two glasses of margarita mix.
Cats can and will get into Very Tall Boxes; they can't, and won't, get out of them.
My best friend started crying tonight when she realized that a week from now, I'll be on the road.
The cats keep chewing on the corners of the Very Nice Box my paintings are meant to go in.

I'm surrounded by boxes right now, which take up most of the living room except a small line-of-sight alley between couch and television. It's like being five and in a fort, only with slightly more rum.

― Tep (ktepi), Monday, 26 May 2003 02:08 (twenty-two years ago)

Everything I see or hear about these days has to do with New Orleans, and I've decided to take that to mean I'm doing the right thing, but goddammit, the timing of it all...

― luna (luna.c), Monday, 26 May 2003 02:14 (twenty-two years ago)

I never once ever wanted to imagine the words 'zombie' 'pineapple' and 'blowjob' in a sentence together.

ONCE AGAIN ILE TAKES ME BEYOND WHERE EVEN I WANT TO GO.

― luna (luna.c), Monday, 26 May 2003 02:40 (twenty-two years ago)

Timing frequently seems all wrong. People keep telling you that everything's going to work out, but it's hard to believe them...

― JuliaA (j_bdules), Monday, 26 May 2003 02:53 (twenty-two years ago)

Just think, Luna, when you're in New Orleans you can try the zombie-pineapple-blowjob drink yourself and SEE THAT I'M RIGHT!

― Tep (ktepi), Monday, 26 May 2003 03:04 (twenty-two years ago)

I just realized I've packed my pillows and blankets, and I have another week of sleeping here.

― Tep (ktepi), Monday, 26 May 2003 03:12 (twenty-two years ago)

(And yet I remembered to not pack the Ciclon.)

― Tep (ktepi), Monday, 26 May 2003 03:12 (twenty-two years ago)

Tep, if I ever have anything to do with a zombie pineapple blowjob, you'll be the first one I call.

I just got an email from my friend D@n and in part, it says, "i'm going to the Annual Soil & Water Conservation Society Conference", and I can only think that that SOUNDS LIKE A FUCKING PARTY.

― luna (luna.c), Monday, 26 May 2003 03:18 (twenty-two years ago)

I said as much to him, and he replied, "oh bite me, we're going to get hookers in the hotel, I'm sure".

Did that make or break my point?

― luna (luna.c), Monday, 26 May 2003 03:19 (twenty-two years ago)

D: and since it's the Annual Soil & Water Conservation Society Conference, you know what that means....
A: Dare I guess?
D: MUD WRESTLING!

I can think of a few people this would appeal to.

― luna (luna.c), Monday, 26 May 2003 03:22 (twenty-two years ago)

As much as I constantly say, and generally believe, "Fuck it, I'm not a painter, I'm just a guy who paints," I've had to look through my paintings while moving and damn, I really really like some of them. And some of the ones I like the most I have to leave behind. There's one in particular that I can't entirely remember how I did it, except that I was manic and something reminded me of stop-motion photography, and I used forks. Most of the rest, well, I'll just paint them again.

Someone told me today that the skies are bluer in the Midwest than here, and I had to remind him that I'm colorblind and likely won't notice.

I had a stuffed snowball tonight -- chocolate soft-serve ice cream surrounded by cream soda snowball. Rockin.

It is now time for me to start packing the odds-and-ends-which-are-not-cassettes, and further prolong the debate about which audio cassettes I'll keep and which I won't. Do I really still need the mixtape from 1991 with the John Wesley Harding song buried in the middle of Nitzer Ebb and Too Much Joy and a lot of REM that I have on CD now? Yeah, I probably do.

― Tep (ktepi), Monday, 26 May 2003 04:13 (twenty-two years ago)

FUCK. I packed my sleeping pills, and I have no idea in which box.

I spent the day with Tamara and we just goofed around and sat in the sun and talked about more of everything and a whole lot of nothing, then rode home with the windows down, the sunroof open, and Into the Mystic blasting on the cd player - I haven't had a more relaxing day in a long time.

― luna (luna.c), Tuesday, 27 May 2003 04:08 (twenty-two years ago)

I never want to feel that bad again.
But its ok, because now I know why I felt like hell, and I can fix it.
I was able to tell him I felt bad and now I'm better and he actually listened and didn't bite my head off.
I'm so relieved.
I feel a huge weight come off my heart.

That reminds me of when I asked my mom how painful it was to have a baby.
I said, "Worse than cramps?"
And she laughed at me a long time. "Way way worse!"
So I asked, "How come you had two more kids then?"
And she said, "It's this weird thing. God's plan maybe? No matter how painful the first kid is, you forget all of it until you're on the table again about to have another one."
I had a great weekend and day off yesterday. Now I'm back at work but it's not too painful - yet anyway.

But I thought I had something to eat at my desk for breakfast and apparently I was mistaken. So I'm hungry.

― Sarah McLUsky (coco), Tuesday, 27 May 2003 12:05 (twenty-two years ago)

Sarah's mom - OTM. I remember that having Spencer was the WORST! PAIN! EVAH!... but the rest of it sort of faded. Having the epidural was horrible, horrible pain, too. Tattoos? NO PROBLEM.

― luna (luna.c), Tuesday, 27 May 2003 15:03 (twenty-two years ago)

It's a fucking beautiful day. Not supposed to be below 85 all this week.
My office is air-conditioned - yay!
I'd really like to take the week off and spend it at the beach.
I'm hungry, too.
I slept well, but not nearly for long enough.
Trayce is right, too - life isn't a barrel of crap after all.

― luna (luna.c), Tuesday, 27 May 2003 15:06 (twenty-two years ago)

Standing around in a park, drinking beer, surrounded by fun people, watching full-grown drunk-ass men riding full-speed down a hill in soap-box-style vessels of their own making is a great way to spend Memorial Day afternoon.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Tuesday, 27 May 2003 15:17 (twenty-two years ago)

I would just like to say !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.

And then again, !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

― luna (luna.c), Tuesday, 27 May 2003 16:34 (twenty-two years ago)

I just finished eating my silly Subway macadamia nut cookie. Yum.
It is really dark out at 2:20pm.
I have my vacation days figured out and got permission for the time off! :-)

― Sarah Mclusky (coco), Tuesday, 27 May 2003 17:21 (twenty-two years ago)

Y'all make me laugh - not in a tittering (shut up oops) 'hee hee' kind of way, but in a 'full on laughing out load, top volume, sometimes I snort and oh I hate that, but fuck it because I'm laughing too damned hard to care' kind of way. I LOVE that about ILe.

MY BLACK VELVET JESUS WON'T FIT IN ANY OF THESE FUCKING BOXES, DAMMIT!
Hrmph. Seriously, though! Not even diagonally. Nothing. Jesus is too big.
Maybe he doesn't want to come with me cause I'll be all living in sin and whatnot. Maybe I can sneak him into the trunk with the suitcases when the girlfriend isn't looking.
Aw, fuck, suitcases. I forgot to get the ones I'm borrowing from friends.

... fucking too-big Jesus.

― Tep (ktepi), Wednesday, 28 May 2003 05:20 (twenty-two years ago)

But... you can't leave Jesus behind!

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 28 May 2003 05:26 (twenty-two years ago)

That's right - Jesus carried you all those times - dammit, carry him!

― luna (luna.c), Wednesday, 28 May 2003 05:29 (twenty-two years ago)

I wanted to have someone mail him, but no one is willing unless I pack him up for them and so on. Last time I was at the post office, they didn't have anything nearly big enough (Jesus is hip height on me, and maybe half that wide). Hrm. That's considerably more area than my suitcase, I wonder if he'd even fit on the trunk.

I would strap him to the roof of the car, but that invites all sorts of long-time-actor-first-time-director road movie wackiness, most likely involving hijinks and maybe even shenanigans.

― Tep (ktepi), Wednesday, 28 May 2003 05:31 (twenty-two years ago)

And that's bad because....?

― luna (luna.c), Wednesday, 28 May 2003 05:31 (twenty-two years ago)

Because you can only film Cannonball Run once.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 28 May 2003 05:33 (twenty-two years ago)

No no, you SHOULD only film Cannonball Run once.

Anyway, this isn't a race - just transporting jesus across state lines. Holding Jesus hostage!!

― luna (luna.c), Wednesday, 28 May 2003 05:35 (twenty-two years ago)

Those things nearly always end with:

a) a slow-paced staredown with some Burly Bad Guy on a Midwestern highway;
b) Vincent Gallo's death;
c) a musical number (piano or fiddle);
d) freeze-frames and text saying what I did with the rest of my life.

There's a time and a place for all of those things, and it isn't Indiana, nor any points along the way.

― Tep (ktepi), Wednesday, 28 May 2003 05:35 (twenty-two years ago)

Vincent Gallo's death

BEST MOVIE EVER.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 28 May 2003 05:36 (twenty-two years ago)

Ned makes a good point.

I suppose I could have waited to hit submit until I'd looked.

See why I want to bring him with me?

I got him with the funriture and the stereo and the rug and the entertainment center box thingamawhoo and the lamp, for eighty bucks total.

I like to think twenty dimes of that went for my man Black Velvet Jesus.

― Tep (ktepi), Wednesday, 28 May 2003 06:04 (twenty-two years ago)

Really, it's both the best and worst painting I've ever seen. And on black velvet!

Sorta looks like a big zit, doesn't it? Do you think Jesus got pimples? "As if the looming DEATH wasn't enough, fucking zits, too?!"

― luna (luna.c), Wednesday, 28 May 2003 06:16 (twenty-two years ago)

I like that he has one green eye and one that looks sort of silver.

― luna (luna.c), Wednesday, 28 May 2003 07:26 (twenty-two years ago)

Anyway, isn't it slightly sacreligious to hang mardi gras beads on Jesus?

How the hell old am I?
12 years. Maybe 13. My cooking groove is going to be all thrown off. It's going to be weird enough re-learning how to bake in a place that isn't New Orleans.

Everyone who works at California state court is a FUCKING MORON. I think they have to sign a waiver when they start, really, "I promise to be as fucking stupid and unhelpful as possible, under penalty of death."

Yeah, I don't like it at all. I don't get it very often, usually if he's trying to test me, but he went through a period of about a year when he wouldn't call his dad anything BUT his name.

Should any of you ever have occasion to be at my house:
Help yourself to anything in the fridge. Watch tv, dvds, videos, sure, play the playstation if you can get it away from Spencer. If you want more old skool, there's a Genesis in my room. Play with the dogs, they're cool and they do tricks. Take naps on the best! bed! in the universe! if you're so inclined (hey stay outta my underwear drawer, please). Read anything you can find, listen to cds, whatever. Take a shower if you want to, plenty of hot water. Go ahead, take a bath in the tub of heaven, sure, use up all the stuff that smells good, that's cool, too, but leave a wet towel on my bed and I will kick your ass from here to Sunday and back again.

Welcome!

Someone please some and be me for an hour or two? Dear god. The flight sucked pineapple zombie and all I want to do is crawl into bed and sleep until tomorrow night.

I need a drink.

― Tep (ktepi), Friday, 30 May 2003 03:54 (twenty-two years ago)

Arrrgh! While the movers were here, Pepper -- one of my cats -- scooted out, despite never having done so before. I didn't notice until I realized she wasn't around, and one of the movers said they'd seen her on the balcony ... where there's a hole leading beneath the roof, where a cat has previously been trapped. So I camp out there with a can of food and sit and wait (she can't get down the stairs, so I figured she must be there) and nearly doze off because I've had so little sleep. I'd searched everywhere in the apartment, which is after all empty but for me and a dead couch and the computer and a bottle of gin (she wasn't in it).
Then it occurs to me how clever my cats are, and that she might well have hidden in one place while I searched another. So I hit the apartment again. I grab the couch and pick the fucker up to hip-height ... and she falls OUT OF IT. She wasn't under it or behind it, she was in the damn thing, because the frame is broken, which had made a gap by one of the legs where she could crawl between the frame and the upholstery.

But at least I no longer have a missing cat to contend with on "Farewell, Crescent City" weekend.

― Tep (ktepi), Friday, 30 May 2003 17:32 (twenty-two years ago)

During that week, my son's mama will also be on vacation, taking a 5-day Carribean friggin cruise. Meanwhile I'll be AT HOME, broker than fuck, with the boy all week day and night cuz his school is out and cuz his mama's gonna be in the Carribean, thus no nights out with the boyz or dates or parties or nuthin.

I am completely floored by the actions of a manipulative, amoral bastard. I don't want to believe that the (now-ex) SO of a close friend has the capacity to be so horrible. People can really be assholes. Calculated, selfish, unfeeling motherfuckers. My friend is the last person I would imagine being duped the way she was. It makes me wonder about trust.

I'm hoping that many of us are just going through the shittiest times of our lives in our 20s, and that it will only get better after 30.

I'm happy for him but generally sad because he and I have never been more than 20 miles apart. He's only going to Jersey...but. And to top it off he probably will become a yankees fan.

It's all good Veruti! Let it out...y'know we all love you up in here mang!

Some more thoughts:

I've just bought Who Is Jill Scott? for the 4th time. The previous 3 copies have all been swiped/borrowed-from-me-indefinitely by ladies. Ain't no lady getting THIS copy; she'll have to buy her own! (probably not true, I am a sucker for girls asking to borrow CDs)

Jasmine green tea tastes as good as it smells and then some.

It used to bother me when clients cussed at me over the phone; nowadays I find it inexplicably entertaining.

My mom is worried about me cuz of how my hands tremble/shiver all the time. I never really thought it was something I should worry about.

There need to be more monkeys and midgets in movies.

I'm excited for my sister & her baby which is due soon, and I'm excited for her & her man, who are very much actually in love. It makes me envious a little bit, but it also fills me with hope for my own future.

I'm wearing a new top I bought this weekend and it's making me happy.
I really like sapphires better than any other stones.
It's grey and foggy out again this morning, but Nick's right - sometimes it IS just the thing to soothe me.

I have so much shit to get through today I can hardly stand it. They want me to work at work? What's THAT shit about?

― luna (luna.c), Thursday, 5 June 2003 16:29 (twenty-two years ago)

Also, Sarah, I miss you!

― luna (luna.c), Thursday, 5 June 2003 16:31 (twenty-two years ago)

Thanks, Luna. This is one of the only threads I check when I do log on!

I like sapphires too - my birth stone.

Do you constantly count how many minutes you have left in the work day? I have 2 hours and 32 minutes left today. That's too much.

I watched Talk to Her last night and really enjoyed it.

I'm drinking Mug root beer at my desk. It's pretty outside my window.

― Sarah McLUsky (coco), Thursday, 5 June 2003 17:28 (twenty-two years ago)

I have 2 hours and 44 minutes left. I think I can say it best this way:

I spend my days clock watching - wishing it were lunch time, wishing it were 5 o'clock, wishing it were the weekend and then I sit back and lament the passing of the years and wonder where they've gone... As of now, I'm going to enjoy the time that I have and not wish all those minutes and hours and days away. I've been so wrapped up in my insular little world these last minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, years that I just haven't allowed myself the time to stop and look around, appreciate and revel in the beauty and wonder that surrounds us all. Opportunities, chances, gifts are all around us, waiting to be plucked like so much ripe fruit from the proverbial tree - how many of us ignore 'em to focus on trivial little things that in the long run aren't going to amount to a hill of beans anyway? I'm guilty, and I'd venture to guess that some of you are, too. I want to spend more time living for the sheer pleasure of it. If anyone needs me, I'm gonna be out in the backyard running through the sprinklers...

― luna (luna.c), Thursday, 5 June 2003 21:18 (twenty-two years ago)

It's funny that on the days when I don't think so much about whether or not the medication is working, I feel better. I can't believe how muddled my thoughts have been for the better part of the past five years or so, but then I try to explain it to anybody and I sound just as muddled or I get frustrated and go over the edge again.
Today I have to wait longer for the end of the "work day" than normal, but that's because the airport is closer to my work than my home, and I'm picking someone up tonight at 7:30. Work is really much easier to get through when there's something to look forward to at the end of the day.

I remembered today that I'm good at a lot of stuff. That made me happy. I dunno why I forgot about some of it.

― martin m. (mushrush), Thursday, 5 June 2003 21:37 (twenty-two years ago)

Yay, my so called "band" is playing again this Saturday night. And we have all originals this time round.
I think its time for me to retire from my so called baseball career...its getting harder and harder to wake up the next day without something not hurting. My knees have been getting worse and worse...it makes me sad because I've been playing since I was 5.

That makes me think about the first time I had a catch with my father. I can't wait until I get to do that with my kids. I feel like I should phone my dad and see if he wants to have a catch for fathers day or something, it would probably mean a lot to him seeing as we haven't been on the best terms for the past 10 years and I want him to be my father again. I miss the days when he was my idol, best friend, buddy.

A friend of mine introduced me to a friend of hers - whom she dated very briefly - and said hey, talk to him, he's cool. I said oh, I don't know (seeing as he was her ex) and she said no, it'll be GREAT! So I did. And he is. And now she's mad. WTF???

I lost 20 dollars. Or someone stole it. I think the person in question is honest enough, though I don't know her well. The alternative is that I'm a total ditz and put the bill somewhere and forgot about it. I do absent-minded stuff like that all the time. This will annoy me greatly either way, as a)I like to feel like I can judge who to trust, and b)I'd like to think that I have a somewhat functioning brain. Though I'd rather find the $20, I guess.

I overdid it this weekend and feel like I've been run over by a truck. But it's a beautiful sunny day. And CostCo pharmacy called and they're being tremendously cool about a (very expensive) medication misunderstanding. Rah for that, anyway.

― JuliaA (j_bdules), Monday, 9 June 2003 17:20 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm listening to the Pixies sing 'Silver' (That one's on Doolittle) and feeling just as laid back as the song sounds.
And I just called my insurance company about a medical bill that came my way, and then the doctor's, and in the end I don't have to pay anything. Today is a good day concerning all sorts of pills I guess.
Now, I'm gouging away.

My best friend from high school might (maybe just maybe) move to the east coast. (crossing fingers)

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Monday, 9 June 2003 17:29 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm no longer embarrassed to be caught rocking the fuck out in the car at the top of my lungs to, say, "Billie Jean". I actually get a kick out of it these days.
Mondays can eat my fuck.
I spent roughly 22 hours over the past 3 days doing something music related (recording, performing, rehearsing, writing, mixing, etc). Yet I don't feel burnt-out-on-music even in the slightest bit, and I find this weird.

One of my coworkers just yelled "JESUS!" at the copy machine, and I can't explain why, but it was hilarious.

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Monday, 9 June 2003 17:43 (twenty-two years ago)

Ha ha

There's this article in the Realtor mag called '30 under 30' in which they (obviously) present FRESH ideas from young, successful realtors. This one girl's big tip is, 'I sell myself first, then the product.' WHAT??? You have to prostitute yourself to be successful?

The weather is perfect here today. I think I'll take my minestrone outside where I'll read more of my silly romantic comedy (Angels by Marian Keyes).

Life without the boss is treating me well.

― Sarah McLUsky (coco), Tuesday, 10 June 2003 16:04 (twenty-two years ago)

I took a nap this afternoon and when I woke-up the "message light" was flashing on the machine. So I went and pushed "play" and here's what I heard (this is paraphrased, not verbatim, but it's still pretty damn close):
"(Someone's name)Why won't you call us back? Your nanna wants to say goodbye, just once. I don't think she will be here a long time more. Please call her. She loves you, (unintelligible - maybe crying?) and so does (couldn't understand this). And (couldn't get this name, either)'s funeral was last week - I don't know if you knew that (s)he died. Maybe I should not say that on here. Don't tell (Mama?) that I told you, okay? I'll send you money, just call us. We miss you. (Something in another language)."

Sadly, the call was from out of the country and my machine didn't record the number, so I couldn't even call them back to let them know that they had the wrong number. Depressing, eh?

― I'm Passing Open Windows (Ms Laura), Wednesday, 11 June 2003 03:22 (twenty-two years ago)

Yes, that's sad. AT one of my old apartments, I used to get calls all the time for this girl. She must have missed lots of doctor's appointments because I got a lot of calls confirming her appointments. I even changed my machine message to say, "Hello, this is NOT Vicky. She does not live here. My name is Sarah. I don't know anyone named Vicky..." And I'd still get messages for her.

It's a pretty day again.

Hardly anyone is in the office. It's nice and quiet. I'm listening to the new Radiohead and loving it.

I'm wearing my sporty casual jacket at my desk - stripes up the sleeves and all - and it's cozy as per usual.

I am such a sap. I got a note from Spencer's teacher last night about the class celebration next week for the end of school - about how she'd worked out a reward system for them - one marble in the jar for everytime they were doing something good (lining up or sitting working quietly - she's a miracle worker if she can get that happening in a kindergarten class!) and I thought it was so sweet that I got tears in my eyes. Good lord.

Hi Luna. I hope whatever that is works out okay.

I really really hate insurance company bullshit. This is much preferable to not having insurance. But I'm feeling like I have to schedule my life around their rules.

Reading Chris V's thread, I think it sounds really cool and creative and interesting to work with wood rather than doing the boring officework thing. I have Matt Pond PA in my head (It Becomes Night).

― JuliaA (j_bdules), Monday, 16 June 2003 15:49 (twenty-two years ago)

After having had virtually no sleep since last Wednesday night, I am pleased to announce that I have *almost* finished all of my assignments for that course I meantion on that other thread - one more paper to tupe, but it's only three pages in length, and then everything goes out the door on Wednesday morning. Woo-hoo! I can have a life again!

Oh, and I have no sex drive, but have a really strong desire to cuddle and fool around. Just not in a sexual way.

― luna (luna.c), Tuesday, 17 June 2003 04:57 (twenty-two years ago)

Thank you, Luna. If you were closer I'd hug you. Hell, I'd hug just about anyone tonight - I've been without human touch for - well - 8 days now, near as I can figure. And I damn well deserve a hug or two.

But, seriously, thank you *grin* I am soooo happy! And relieved, too.

― I'm Passing Open Windows (Ms Laura), Tuesday, 17 June 2003 05:13 (twenty-two years ago)

It isn't that it's a bad place. It's just that it's a nice place to visit. I'm ready to go home.

I sound whiny.

― Tep (ktepi), Tuesday, 17 June 2003 19:57 (twenty-two years ago)

Nope, you don't. When it's not home, it's not home. Belieeeeeve me, I feel your pain.

― luna (luna.c), Tuesday, 17 June 2003 19:59 (twenty-two years ago)

I think I've said this before, too, but New Orleans is the only place I ever felt comfortable/happy in. I wanted to leave New Hampshire for as far back as I remember -- my mother remembers me wanting to move to Boston the first time I visited it and was old enough to articulate (like, four. Specifically, I wanted to live in the North End or Harvard). Kansas City was too hot, too wet, too dirty (and yeah, I say that as a New Orleanian -- I was there during the 93 flood, though). Western Mass ... had barely enough restaurants and bookstores to distract me from the teeming burlap-wearing masses of spoiled brat college students.

Bloomington. I don't know. It's a small town. Everything is a little bit off. The restaurants are nice. I have met very few locals so far who haven't said something like "it'll be a lot more crowded and louder when the college students come back." The girlfriend's fellow grad students have invited her to "go out drinking" three times a week (people who regularly go out drinking for the sake of drinking are one of my biggest pet peeves, especially if they're not teenagers; people who do so because they think that's what college is about are on my Utter Idiot list; and the most New England thing about me is that I think it's unconscionably rude to invite someone you've just met to go get drunk). Nearly every IU-related merchandise item sells the whole "party school" image, which I hate.

And my writing keeps stalling, which is an enormously bad thing, especially at this point in my not-quite-a-career-yet. In all honesty, if I were to continue having trouble with my writing throughout the coming year, I would have to drop out and move back. I've been in situations before where I can't write, and I become the most unpleasant person I've met: bitter, angry, self-destructive, randomly abusive.

― Tep (ktepi), Tuesday, 17 June 2003 20:11 (twenty-two years ago)

people who regularly go out drinking for the sake of drinking are one of my biggest pet peeves

um, what if that's just how you socialize. I don't go out to get drunk but the main thing I do with my friends is go out for a drink. I'm a moron? Also that's one of the first things I'll invite a new friend to do.

― That Girl (thatgirl), Tuesday, 17 June 2003 20:20 (twenty-two years ago)

I should have phrased that as "irrational pet peeves" -- I don't think you're a moron. That's also why I added "for the sake of drinking" (maybe I should have said "for the sake of getting drunk") -- I get criticized for not being social enough sometimes, but then I'll cave in and go do whatever it is people have been suggesting, and no one's actually being social. They're in poorly-lit bars with jukeboxes turned up loud enough that you can't talk to the person sitting next to you, and there's nothing to do except chase beers with more beers. That isn't social, the way I see it.

It's a pet peeve that comes from three years of Hampshire College and six years of New Orleans tourists.

I looked out this morning and the sun was gone
Turned on some music to start my day
I lost myself in a familiar song
I closed my eyes and I slipped away
It's more than a feeling, when I hear that old song they used to play (more than a feeling)
I begin dreaming (more than a feeling)
'till I see Marianne walk away
I see my Marianne walkin' away
So many people have come and gone
Their faces fade as the years go by
Yet I still recall as I wander on
as clear as the sun in the summer sky
It's more than a feeling, when I hear that old song they used to play (more than a feeling)
I begin dreaming (more than a feeling)
'till I see Marianne walk away
I see my Marianne walkin' away
When I'm tired and thinking cold
I hide in my music, forget the day
and dream of a girl I used to know
I closed my eyes and she slipped away
She slipped awa y. She slipped away.

It's more than a feeling, when I hear that old song they used to play (more than a feeling)
I begin dreaming (more than a feeling)

Then I woke up the next day in the guest bed with my friend Tim. Apparently I was sleepwalking and snuggled in with him. I had no idea. I remember going to bed with my wife....

― Chris V. (Chris V), Wednesday, 18 June 2003 15:20 (twenty-two years ago)

Aiiie, I'm starting classes on FRIDAY. Most likely History of Mathematics, History of Political Thought, and/or Spanish. I haven't gone to a class in ... I don't know how long. Not as long as it feels like, probably. In subjective terms, I've moved a thousand miles, lost a gallbladder, gotten a girlfriend and a kitten, and sold a hundred and fifty thousand words since the last time I was in a classroom.
I will probably have to get up in the mornings and whatnot.
But I'm getting enough financial aid that there's excess to cover the fact that you just can't find a job in a college town in the summer.

And this weekend is TEP DAY.

I am so dazed and confused and happy, 'cause I just got some photos back from being developed, and one of the rolls was from Christmas 2001, and has three delightful pictures of David dancing around naked, outside, in frigid weather. It was an hour before I was going to meet his parents for dinner. Now I can't decide what to do with the photos. Oh, and there's other great photos, too, of birds and alligators and frogs and stuff. But the naked pictures just crack me up (in a very good way, of course).

So there's this situation which could have very well been the most wonderful thing ever to happen to me, and I've fucked up it up completely by doing something dumb. Not just silly, but dumb on a colossal level, and not only is it going to tear my heart out, it's going to hurt someone else who means the world to me, too. I can't fix it - I think admitting it would only make it worse, and either way, I lose. I'm about as low as low can get here, and I'm really having trouble seeing the sky. Help.

― luna (luna.c), Thursday, 19 June 2003 21:30 (twenty-two years ago)

If this person who means the world to you feels the same way, he/she might understand. There aren't many things in the world that can't be fixed, luna.

― Helper, Thursday, 19 June 2003 21:39 (twenty-two years ago)

This is one of them. I can't fix it and make it be okay, I can just admit it and then it will still be over - it's just a matter of breaking someone's heart and thereby breaking my own or having them tell me to fuck off and die and mine will still break.

― luna (luna.c), Thursday, 19 June 2003 22:08 (twenty-two years ago)

Is that what you want? Why would it necessarily be over? You'd be surprised at what people will think. Would it be just as bad if this person whose heart you think you're going to break was ok with whatever you've done?

― Helper, Thursday, 19 June 2003 22:14 (twenty-two years ago)

No, see, then it would be okay.. we could laugh at what a dumbass I am, give me a stern lecture not to ever do it again, and it would all be okay.

Except not.

― luna (luna.c), Thursday, 19 June 2003 22:17 (twenty-two years ago)

Dealing with what's in your heart is the most important thing in this situation. If you did what you did out of malice that's one thing and seems unlikely since you're showing remorse. If it was, as you put it, "something dumb", then was it really something dumb or did it tell you something about how you really feel about this other person?

― Helper, Thursday, 19 June 2003 22:23 (twenty-two years ago)

It was really dumb. I said something was one way when it isn't at all - (and if you are who I think you might be, it's not what you think) - and there's no way to make it what I said it was. I don't know why I did - I suppose I thought it wouldn't matter, and I never intended it to, but now it does and I can't do anything to change it. If I admit it, well, fuck... it's gonna be bad.

― luna (luna.c), Thursday, 19 June 2003 22:27 (twenty-two years ago)

i just got here...give me a call if you want

― oops (Oops), Thursday, 19 June 2003 22:29 (twenty-two years ago)

Well, it's probably for the best if you tell this person anyway. You'll never have peace if you don't.

― Helper, Thursday, 19 June 2003 22:56 (twenty-two years ago)

But if I do...

― luna (luna.c), Thursday, 19 June 2003 23:09 (twenty-two years ago)

It might be bad, it might be ok, but at least you won't have it hanging over your head any longer.

― Helper, Thursday, 19 June 2003 23:14 (twenty-two years ago)

Yup, might as well get it over with--the waiting/debating to tell stage is the worst of it. Besides, you can never tell how someone will react.

― oops (Oops), Thursday, 19 June 2003 23:16 (twenty-two years ago)

yeah, never underestimate someone's ability to be rational and understanding.

Besides I'd rather be an honest dumbass than a lying one. (not that i'm saying your a dumbass luna but i think you know what I mean.)

― That Girl (thatgirl), Thursday, 19 June 2003 23:23 (twenty-two years ago)

Luna,good luck and symnpathy -I hope this all comes out well.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Friday, 20 June 2003 11:28 (twenty-two years ago)

Luna this sounds awful, but I would give the other person the benefit of the doubt. If you just have done something 'dumb' then it should be ok. Everyone does dumb stuff every now & again. Hope all is well. *hugz*

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Friday, 20 June 2003 11:32 (twenty-two years ago)

Hugs from me too, Luna. Good luck.

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Friday, 20 June 2003 11:48 (twenty-two years ago)

... that it's very hard writing the "why i want the job" bit of an application form. Hallo ILE!

― Sarah at meejacaff, Friday, 20 June 2003 11:49 (twenty-two years ago)

Hope it works out, Luna!

― Nicole (Nicole), Friday, 20 June 2003 11:50 (twenty-two years ago)

Much luck, Luna.

― Tep (ktepi), Friday, 20 June 2003 11:52 (twenty-two years ago)

*Hugs* Luna. Hang-in there.

― I'm Passing Open Windows (Ms Laura), Friday, 20 June 2003 18:35 (twenty-two years ago)

I admitted it, and like I knew would happen, I lost someone close to me. Chalk one up to being a motherfucking moron, and yay me.

Thanks y'all, for your support of my life as a drama queen - as always.

― luna (luna.c), Saturday, 21 June 2003 04:44 (twenty-two years ago)

My heart is crushed.

― luna (luna.c), Saturday, 21 June 2003 05:58 (twenty-two years ago)

*hands Luna a chocolate chip cookie*

― Chris Barrus (Chris Barrus), Saturday, 21 June 2003 06:20 (twenty-two years ago)

thanks sug, but I'd probably only barf.

― luna (luna.c), Saturday, 21 June 2003 06:22 (twenty-two years ago)

It's Saturday night (Sunday morning) and I'm a little lonely.
My dawgs look so damned cute when they're sleeping.
So does Spencer.
That probably should have been the other way around.
I'm an asshole.
I miss my Daddy.
I think maybe I might go to San Francisco instead.
My cellphone sucks big green donkey dicks. And no, you can't have pictures.
Oh god, I hope this works out...

― luna (luna.c), Sunday, 22 June 2003 08:30 (twenty-two years ago)

Keep breathing, luna everything is transitory - move with the flow and see where it takes you.

― I'm Passing Open Windows (Ms Laura), Monday, 23 June 2003 01:03 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm scared to death because my doctor referred me to a specialist. I might start a thread on that one...
I had an ok weekend other than being sick. I didn't get to play the show Friday, but I still went to a party Saturday night. I was on painkillers (due to being sick) so I felt really silly and my arms felt heavy. I didn't need any alcohol anyway, so there!

I watched the first 7 Twin Peaks episodes. Then we had an emergency cherry pie run (with whipped cream of course).

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Monday, 23 June 2003 11:38 (twenty-two years ago)

Hopefully you played Warrant in the car on the way to the bakery.

― Chris V. (Chris V), Monday, 23 June 2003 11:54 (twenty-two years ago)

Whats wrong? Hope your ok, best wishes!

― Chris V. (Chris V), Monday, 23 June 2003 11:57 (twenty-two years ago)

Laura - Has everything gone wrong now, or is there still a chance things may work out?
Sarah - I hope everything is ok with you.

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Monday, 23 June 2003 12:06 (twenty-two years ago)

Hugz 4 Luna!

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Monday, 23 June 2003 12:39 (twenty-two years ago)

Sorry I meant Luna not Laura! *kicks herself*

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Monday, 23 June 2003 12:46 (twenty-two years ago)

Hugs all around!

Luna, I'm sorry things didn't work out. And I'm sorry you left Friendster too. I liked having you on my list!

I hate going to see doctors. I've had problems with cystitus ever since I was 5 or 6. I've been to the hospital a few times for it. My body's gotten used to some antibiotics. It's gotten worse and worse over the years. And I need to see a specialist to find out why I keep having problems. The whole thing terrifies me. I don't like to think about having guts!

In other news, it's only 30 minutes until my lunch break. I need to zone out and read and eat soup.

― Sarah MclUsky (coco), Monday, 23 June 2003 15:33 (twenty-two years ago)

I feel so... empty.

― luna (luna.c), Monday, 23 June 2003 15:36 (twenty-two years ago)

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Monday, 23 June 2003 15:39 (twenty-two years ago)

cheer up! listen to the ratpure.

i signed up today for furniture making courses,yay!

― Chris V. (Chris V), Monday, 23 June 2003 15:45 (twenty-two years ago)

How am I supposed to get any work done when I AM MOPING? Jesus, these people...

― luna (luna.c), Monday, 23 June 2003 16:08 (twenty-two years ago)

Luna, you need some Teddy Pendergrass in your life. Get to it.

― Chris V. (Chris V), Monday, 23 June 2003 16:32 (twenty-two years ago)

Anything in particular?

― luna (luna.c), Monday, 23 June 2003 16:50 (twenty-two years ago)

Come Go With Me and Turn Off The Lights

― Chris V. (Chris V), Monday, 23 June 2003 16:51 (twenty-two years ago)

Not helping, not helping, OH GOD NOT HELPING!

― luna (luna.c), Monday, 23 June 2003 17:19 (twenty-two years ago)

urgh, ok sorry.

― Chris V. (Chris V), Monday, 23 June 2003 17:23 (twenty-two years ago)

Not your fault, sug, I mean it is Teddy Pendergrass - I should have known.

― luna (luna.c), Monday, 23 June 2003 17:24 (twenty-two years ago)

he just wants all the ladies to get naked....thats all.

― Chris V. (Chris V), Monday, 23 June 2003 17:28 (twenty-two years ago)

Really, isn't that what we all want?

― luna (luna.c), Monday, 23 June 2003 17:41 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm sorry that Luna left Friendster before I had a chance to leave a testimonial, but I'll do so here...

"I can't think of anyone better who's there for you in a moment of weakness, a bar fight, a crisis, or a fancy state dinner."

― Chris Barrus (Chris Barrus), Tuesday, 24 June 2003 03:30 (twenty-two years ago)

Awww Chris... I miss those actually - they were great.

― luna (luna.c), Tuesday, 24 June 2003 05:09 (twenty-two years ago)

I hope y'all are dreaming sweetly tonight..
Nick - where the hell are you?
Sarah - how are you, chica?
Tep - how's class?
Chris - you ok, cowboy?

Check in, y'all.

― luna (luna.c), Tuesday, 24 June 2003 07:55 (twenty-two years ago)

yeah where the hell is Nick???

― Chris V. (Chris V), Tuesday, 24 June 2003 10:23 (twenty-two years ago)

Luna, will a nice shiny new mix cd help! I promise to make it less depressing this time! Let me know.

― Chris V. (Chris V), Tuesday, 24 June 2003 11:35 (twenty-two years ago)

Class is good -- Spanish is taught (well, re-taught, I guess, I took it 12 years ago) in a way I've never had it before, but I'm adjusting. Poli Sci is almost entirely normative theory, and I'd been one class short of a philosophy minor, so that's a breeze.

Class is EARLY, though. In a natural state of things I sleep until ten: I need to be up at seven for class, and it's not working. I'm going to have to start napping, cause I honest to God get no-reason-at-all unhappy if I'm consistently asleep before two.

― Tep (ktepi), Tuesday, 24 June 2003 11:38 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh yeah, and mix CD -- Luna, you should've gotten mine by now (as should Ally ... as should've Ally? as should Ally've? fucking.English.language.) unless campus post is very slow or Indiana is very far or etc.

― Tep (ktepi), Tuesday, 24 June 2003 11:39 (twenty-two years ago)

I took a deep breath and called my insurance & the specialist. My appointment is set for July 17th at 2pm. So, now I can relax a bit and just not think about it.

Next week I'll have a short work week as I'll be off to New York! :)

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Tuesday, 24 June 2003 12:58 (twenty-two years ago)

Good luck for then, enjoy New York.

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Tuesday, 24 June 2003 13:47 (twenty-two years ago)

Not yet, but today's mail isn't here yet. Dammit.

Indiana IS very far away...

― luna (luna.c), Tuesday, 24 June 2003 17:35 (twenty-two years ago)

Next week I'll have a short work week as I'll be off to New York! :)

Wahey, another chick up for NYC destruction! Looking forward to meeting you, Sarah.....as well as those folks I've not met/seen in ages.

(Laura, are you hearin' me;>?)

So happy to be leaving this place....if only for 5 days.....

WHOO!!!

*ahem*

― Nichole Graham (Nichole Graham), Tuesday, 24 June 2003 17:43 (twenty-two years ago)

Indiana IS very far away...

Yeah, but I thought I was like ... wester..ern..er...ish ... now. Maybe I'm not. My sense of geography is crayony.

― Tep (ktepi), Tuesday, 24 June 2003 17:49 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm a fool. No one’s fault but my own for that.

― Bryan (Bryan), Tuesday, 24 June 2003 20:43 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm hearin' ya, Nichole - Someday I shall show-up on your doorstep and kidnap you for an ice cream cone or coffee or something. Or maybe I'll just call - or even email *grin*

― I'm Passing Open Windows (Ms Laura), Wednesday, 25 June 2003 02:15 (twenty-two years ago)

Shit, I can't win for losing.

This one things might - MIGHT - be okay, but now I've hurt another person dear to me, I should have seen it, and I guess I didn't. Shit - what's wrong with me? Am I just the destructo of friendships? I guess maybe I'm an insensitive, selfish bitch after all. If I've been this to any of you, please know I'm sorry...

― luna (luna.c), Wednesday, 25 June 2003 08:42 (twenty-two years ago)

Luna - nothing is wrong with you, the difference is that you haven't done any of this with intentional malice. People who know you well will forgive you.

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Wednesday, 25 June 2003 09:18 (twenty-two years ago)

You're not the destructo of friendships, Luna. You could be the Gigantor of friendships maybe. Or the Voltron of friendships. Someday, if you wish hard enough, you could be the Tran-zor-zee of friendships. Not Destructo, though.

― Tep (ktepi), Wednesday, 25 June 2003 11:27 (twenty-two years ago)

Luna has much love here.

― That Girl (thatgirl), Wednesday, 25 June 2003 13:23 (twenty-two years ago)

and here!

― Chris V. (Chris V), Wednesday, 25 June 2003 13:24 (twenty-two years ago)

all around, in fact.

Chris V, this seems to be your cue to find some sort of hilariously cheesy ballad...

― JuliaA (j_bdules), Wednesday, 25 June 2003 13:48 (twenty-two years ago)

She comes down from Yellow Mountain
On a dark, flat land she rides
On a pony she named Wildfire
With a whirlwind by her side
On a cold Nebraska night
Oh, they say she died one winter
When there came a killing frost
And the pony she named Wildfire
Busted down its stall
In a blizzard he was lost
She ran calling Wildfire
By the dark of the moon I planted
But there came an early snow
There's been a hoot-owl howling by my window now
For six nights in a row
She's coming for me, I know
And on Wildfire we're both gonna go
We'll be riding Wildfire

On Wildfire we're gonna ride
Gonna leave sodbustin' behind
Get these hard times right on out of our minds
Riding Wildfire

― Chris V. (Chris V), Wednesday, 25 June 2003 13:50 (twenty-two years ago)

and yes i am listening to this now.

― Chris V. (Chris V), Wednesday, 25 June 2003 13:51 (twenty-two years ago)

so the moral of the story Luna is... we all need a pony named Wildfire to leave sodbustin behind.

― Chris V. (Chris V), Wednesday, 25 June 2003 13:56 (twenty-two years ago)

luna, I'll wager that if you talk to the person you think you've upset this time about things that he/she will be just fine. You're a wonderful person and I couldn't imagine anyone being upset with you for long or at all. Most of the time it's the other person's problem, not something you've done.

― Helper, Wednesday, 25 June 2003 16:05 (twenty-two years ago)

Yeah well what happens when you try to talk to people and they say that they haven't been talking to you or telling you what's going on because they think you have too much going on already? (I never do, btw, should this be the case for any of you - my door is always open, if you will).

― luna (luna.c), Wednesday, 25 June 2003 17:22 (twenty-two years ago)

punch em in the grill.

― Chris V. (Chris V), Wednesday, 25 June 2003 17:23 (twenty-two years ago)

Tep, I did get it yesterday - some fucko in the mail room just thought they'd hang onto it for awhile... I'm listening to it now and it's rocking my world - as do you. Thanks!

― luna (luna.c), Wednesday, 25 June 2003 18:29 (twenty-two years ago)

Woo, aces. And of course now I don't remember what's on it cause I didn't save the list. But that's okay.

― Tep (ktepi), Wednesday, 25 June 2003 18:33 (twenty-two years ago)

Currently, Animotion "Obsession"... I forgot how much I liked this song...

― luna (luna.c), Wednesday, 25 June 2003 18:36 (twenty-two years ago)

That's a good song.

― Ally (mlescaut), Wednesday, 25 June 2003 18:42 (twenty-two years ago)

That song's one of my favorite parts of the 80s nostalgia thing. That and "Tainted Love" and "Mexican Radio."

Ally, did yours get there yet?

― Tep (ktepi), Wednesday, 25 June 2003 18:47 (twenty-two years ago)

yesterday!!

― Ally (mlescaut), Wednesday, 25 June 2003 18:52 (twenty-two years ago)

Memphis City Rain always makes me cry a little...

(yeah yeah, what doesn't? I know. Shut up).

― luna (luna.c), Wednesday, 25 June 2003 18:57 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh woo! (To Ally getting it, not to Luna crying.) Good, campus mail doesn't suck.

― Tep (ktepi), Wednesday, 25 June 2003 19:00 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh I didn't - I thought about it - but decided I forgot the waterproof mascara this morning and there is nothing uglier than me looking like a raccoon.

― luna (luna.c), Wednesday, 25 June 2003 19:04 (twenty-two years ago)

That's like every Wednesday morning ever for me.

― Tep (ktepi), Wednesday, 25 June 2003 19:05 (twenty-two years ago)

Yeah really, Wednesdays can eat my fuc.

― luna (luna.c), Wednesday, 25 June 2003 19:07 (twenty-two years ago)

I am the light of the sun...
And if you come with me
And if you let it be
And sing my melody, yeah
And sing my melody
Then it don't have to wash away in a Memphis city rain...

― luna (luna.c), Wednesday, 25 June 2003 20:10 (twenty-two years ago)

I'd like a beer

― luna (luna.c), Wednesday, 25 June 2003 20:59 (twenty-two years ago)

Someone send me a Nation State telegram, dammit. I feel so unfulfilled.

― luna (luna.c), Wednesday, 25 June 2003 21:00 (twenty-two years ago)

Beer bong for m'lady?

― oops as nickalicious (Oops), Wednesday, 25 June 2003 21:04 (twenty-two years ago)

It's just not the same.

― luna (luna.c), Wednesday, 25 June 2003 21:13 (twenty-two years ago)

I know
*sigh*

― oops (Oops), Wednesday, 25 June 2003 21:28 (twenty-two years ago)

Luna, hang in there. You know my thoughts are with you. I'll ring soon...

― Nichole Graham (Nichole Graham), Wednesday, 25 June 2003 21:32 (twenty-two years ago)

Ah I'm cool right now, chica - just those little random, middle of the night moments.

― luna (luna.c), Wednesday, 25 June 2003 21:35 (twenty-two years ago)

Or maybe I'll just call - or even email *grin*

Promises, Laura, promises;> Just thinking: I DID give you my new number, didn't I? I hope so.

As long as you're coming to the NYC FAP, that's a good start!

― Nichole Graham (Nichole Graham), Wednesday, 25 June 2003 21:38 (twenty-two years ago)

Ah I'm cool right now, chica - just those little random, middle of the night moments.

And those are manageable; just take it one second at a time.

― Nichole Graham (Nichole Graham), Wednesday, 25 June 2003 21:41 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm working on a new cd for Luna, but its 400 degree's in my office at home and i feel like i have to throw up. I will continue tomorrow.

― Chris V. (Chris V), Wednesday, 25 June 2003 21:48 (twenty-two years ago)

I signed up for a class at a local community college with my friend tonight - I haven't been to school in a hundred years at least, so it was kinda something to do - it sounds like fun - and it'll ease me back into it. Kinda like dipping my toes into the cold pool of human geography. Or something. Fuck it, I got new notebooks! I'm cool!

― luna (luna.c), Thursday, 26 June 2003 04:47 (twenty-two years ago)

what class?

― That Girl (thatgirl), Thursday, 26 June 2003 04:50 (twenty-two years ago)

cool, what kind of class?

(ha x-post)

― H (Heruy), Thursday, 26 June 2003 04:52 (twenty-two years ago)

Human Geography... like geography, but people. Plus, it's rumored that the professor is hot, and that never hurts.

― luna (luna.c), Thursday, 26 June 2003 04:56 (twenty-two years ago)

Sometimes it even feels good, right?

― oops (Oops), Thursday, 26 June 2003 04:58 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm sure I don't know what you mean. < /halo>

― luna (luna.c), Thursday, 26 June 2003 04:59 (twenty-two years ago)

My class in INterior Design starts in a little over a week!

I am sick as a dog. My head feels like a big ol' pumpkin. I just talked to my boss on the phone. He asked if I felt any better from yesterday and I said No. Then he got kind of upset when I told him I'd taken some DayQuil because he said it would make me drowsy.
"But it's DAYQuil!" I say.
"But that's hardcore for you!" He says.

― Sarah Mclusky (coco), Thursday, 26 June 2003 12:44 (twenty-two years ago)

Yay for class! My Furniture Making class starts in September. When I'm done I expect everyone to buy my stuff! Hehe. Luna don't forget to write "The Smiths" in huge letters on your notebook!"

― Chris V. (Chris V), Thursday, 26 June 2003 12:54 (twenty-two years ago)

Already done...

― luna (luna.c), Thursday, 26 June 2003 15:37 (twenty-two years ago)

Aww Sarah, I hope you feel better soon...

― luna (luna.c), Thursday, 26 June 2003 18:51 (twenty-two years ago)

Feel better, Sarah!

Congrats on the new class, Luna. As long as you avoid jumping the prof, you'll pass with flying colours.

― Nichole Graham (Nichole Graham), Thursday, 26 June 2003 20:14 (twenty-two years ago)

You might wanna rethink that, Nichole! (sorry, luna!)

― Bryan (Bryan), Thursday, 26 June 2003 20:22 (twenty-two years ago)

Ahh, I don't think it will be a problem...

― luna (luna.c), Thursday, 26 June 2003 20:24 (twenty-two years ago)

I had class last night and it was good. Felt a little weird, but it was good.

Tamara was right. The Professor is hot. If you like Penn of Penn & Teller.

― luna (luna.c), Friday, 27 June 2003 19:03 (twenty-two years ago)

I do not

― luna (luna.c), Friday, 27 June 2003 20:23 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm wearing a black dress with white polka dots and red lipstick and for some reason, it's making me happy.

― luna (luna.c), Friday, 27 June 2003 20:24 (twenty-two years ago)

Tequila = the devil

― luna (luna.c), Saturday, 28 June 2003 08:48 (twenty-two years ago)

Hi Luna! I was in Manly, NSW last week and I thought of you because I remembered you'd said on a thread somewhere that you liked it. I do too; I used to live there and it was the best place I've ever lived.

― estela (estela), Saturday, 28 June 2003 09:18 (twenty-two years ago)

Ya I loved it, estela - we used to live in one of the apartments on the hill behind the oval - I miss it.

― luna (luna.c), Saturday, 28 June 2003 17:54 (twenty-two years ago)

Tropical Storm Bill is FINALLY heading towards New Orleans, four weeks late.

― Tep (ktepi), Sunday, 29 June 2003 17:30 (twenty-two years ago)

Better late than... well, you know.

― luna (luna.c), Sunday, 29 June 2003 17:47 (twenty-two years ago)

'Bill' seems like a ludicrous name for a tropical storm.

Luna, we lived in an apartment opposite the Manly wharf, not far from where you lived. I miss it too.

― estela (estela), Sunday, 29 June 2003 21:18 (twenty-two years ago)

'Bill' seems like a ludicrous name for a tropical storm.

I'm laughing.

― luna (luna.c), Sunday, 29 June 2003 22:19 (twenty-two years ago)

Estela, when were you there? My best friend lived down by the park on the way to the wharf - we ran all over that town.

― luna (luna.c), Sunday, 29 June 2003 22:20 (twenty-two years ago)

Pshaw, Bill is a perfectly excellent name for a tropical storm! Christ, the last big one there was "Isidore."

― Tep (ktepi), Sunday, 29 June 2003 22:22 (twenty-two years ago)

It's better than.. say... Barney. Or Eugene.

Maybe it's named after Clinton < insert "big blow" joke here >

― nickn (nickn), Sunday, 29 June 2003 22:28 (twenty-two years ago)

We had Georges, for Heaven's sake. The quiver-inducing hurricane names were all used up around the time of Hurricane McSmackinator.

― Tep (ktepi), Sunday, 29 June 2003 22:28 (twenty-two years ago)

(See, MY name is Bill, and the tropical storm -- Bill -- is in the part of the Gulf where I used to live, so that was the whole thing, I kept telling people "goddammit my hurricane better get here before I move," and it ... didn't.)

― Tep (ktepi), Sunday, 29 June 2003 22:30 (twenty-two years ago)

I suppose 'Gilligan' is out?

― luna (luna.c), Sunday, 29 June 2003 22:32 (twenty-two years ago)

They obviously should only be named after ex-wrestlers, eg Tropical Storm Brutus the Barber Beefcake , or Hurricane Jimmy 'Supafly' Snuka

― oops (Oops), Sunday, 29 June 2003 22:36 (twenty-two years ago)

'Hurricane Cecil.'

I lived in Manly for four years, until two years ago. I'd love to live there again, but it is prohibitively expensive. You can pay (well we couldn't) a million dollars for a two bedroom apartment and the rents were outrageous.

I love the Norfolk pines. And Shelley Beach. And the rockpools. etc. Plus it has such a lovely village atmosphere; you can forget you're living in the middle of a large city.

― estela (estela), Sunday, 29 June 2003 22:38 (twenty-two years ago)

Mondays. After. Vacation. ... SUCK.

Sometimes when you eat "special" brownies you get "special" smelling gas the next day.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Monday, 30 June 2003 11:47 (twenty-two years ago)

I had a strange weekend. I left work an hour early Thursday because I felt sick. Came in to work at noon on Friday. Left again at 2:15 cuz I still felt dizzy. Then Nick got what I had. So we spent most of the weekend lounging around and thought it would never end (in a good way).
Now I'm at work again, but it's only a 3-day work week! Hello, New York mini-vacation!
I got my hair cut yesterday and now I'm one big curl festival.

― Sarah McLUsky (coco), Monday, 30 June 2003 12:17 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh my god, nickalicious in finding out that his band is very popular amongst the entire staff of one of the nicest strip joints in town by catching one of their dancers singing his lyrics in a random encounter on the street during lunchbreak and her going on to tell him that she and others have been dancing to it since the album came out last fall SHOCKAH!!!!

(I was looking for something to help me get over my idiotic girly-inspired-feeling-bad-ness, but RIDICULOUS THIS IS!)

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Monday, 30 June 2003 18:04 (twenty-two years ago)

dude, Nick, you should totally offer to play a live gig AT THE CLUB. when opportunity knock(er)s....

― Neudonym, Monday, 30 June 2003 18:21 (twenty-two years ago)

I can't top that.

― luna (luna.c), Monday, 30 June 2003 19:09 (twenty-two years ago)

Nickalicious, surely you've reached your goal for the band now?

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Monday, 30 June 2003 19:17 (twenty-two years ago)

Being home with the flu is shitty, i can't move.
im working on the new crush tapes.
i bought another guitar yesterday at the flea market for $20. hehe.

― Chris V. (Chris V), Monday, 30 June 2003 20:22 (twenty-two years ago)

Sarah, are you feeling better?
Nick, I'm glad you're back.
Chris, how're you feeling?

Me, I can't sleep...

― luna (luna.c), Tuesday, 1 July 2003 08:21 (twenty-two years ago)

Luna, Thanks, I'm feeling much better today.

Let's see... 15 hours & 15 minutes left of work before my next mini-vacation...

Blech. That seems like forever... *sigh*

My hair is too poofy. Oh why, god, why did I let myself get a haircut??

Only one girl in the office said anything. She was like, "Did you get your hair cut?" I say yes. She says, "Oh."

I'm sending out letters to For Sale By Owners and in a minute to Expireds. It is tedious.

― Sarah McLUsky (coco), Tuesday, 1 July 2003 12:20 (twenty-two years ago)

I don't get men at all. Not at ALL. Maybe I'll do a Sinead O'Connor and become a non-practicing lesbian...

― luna (luna.c), Wednesday, 2 July 2003 07:38 (twenty-two years ago)

Lets see its 4:30 am, Im wide awake. I still feel like shit. I slept for a total of 2 hours on Monday night. I'm grouchy and sad because I have nothing to do on the 4th. All my friends have plans and my wife is working and i can't find a place to stay in NYC. I'll be home alone, drunk. What else is new. Seeing as Im used to having no life, it will be typical. Pardon my moping.

― Chris V. (Chris V), Wednesday, 2 July 2003 07:40 (twenty-two years ago)

what the hell are you doing awake?

― Chris V. (Chris V), Wednesday, 2 July 2003 07:41 (twenty-two years ago)

I'll be home alone and drinking too, Chris - let's call each other and play depressing songs...

It's only 1:42 - I'm always awake now...

― luna (luna.c), Wednesday, 2 July 2003 07:43 (twenty-two years ago)

Anyway, why are YOU up now?

― luna (luna.c), Wednesday, 2 July 2003 07:45 (twenty-two years ago)

Like I should talk, its 4:45. Yes, we could do that! Except we can play dance songs and dance around. Of course, i'll probably be passed out by the time you start. need coffee...and im awake because my throat hurts so much i can't sleep. i've decided im just going to get ready for work, go in extra early and come home at 1.

― Chris V. (Chris V), Wednesday, 2 July 2003 07:47 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm in if you promise to do the Running Man

― luna (luna.c), Wednesday, 2 July 2003 07:48 (twenty-two years ago)

yeah i suppose i could do that, i might even throw in a knee spin for good measure. shoot me an email i'll call ya.

― Chris V. (Chris V), Wednesday, 2 July 2003 07:52 (twenty-two years ago)

Will do. We don't need their dumb ol' FAP anyway...

― luna (luna.c), Wednesday, 2 July 2003 07:55 (twenty-two years ago)

< /5 year old Aimee>

― luna (luna.c), Wednesday, 2 July 2003 07:55 (twenty-two years ago)

ha. alright, im going to put on the pimp outfit for the day. have a good nights sleep.

― Chris V. (Chris V), Wednesday, 2 July 2003 07:59 (twenty-two years ago)

So Chris, what new plans did you come up with?
I have gotten a lot of work done this morning. Only 1 hour and 20 minutes left until lunchtime...
I am glad kate is back. I am glad plans for the 4th are coming together and that I'll have my phone with me after all. I am glad luna and chris will be there in spirit.

My boss is such a liar. I handed him a home inspection report first thing Monday morning. He says, "I'll deal with it later," so I put it on his bench. Then I reminded him about it a couple of times and he ignored me. Late yesterday afternoon, the other agent called me asking what had happened to it so I left my boss a message before I left saying, "Oh, by the way, so-and-so called inquiring about the HI addendum. Just giving you a heads up." Then I get a message from my boss this morning saying, "Sarah, I told you on Monday morning that you were supposed to take care of this. I can't believe you haven't already done it. Now, we're running out of time, so you'd better take care of this first thing." In conclusion, I am right and he is wrong.

― Sarah McLUsky (coco), Wednesday, 2 July 2003 14:44 (twenty-two years ago)

plans for the 5th actually. which of course will fall through, because my friend "Captain Unreliable" will bag out.

― Chris V. (Chris V), Wednesday, 2 July 2003 14:47 (twenty-two years ago)

Sorry, Chris, but that's what you get for having a friend named Captain Unreliable. By the way, is he also a pirate? If so, maybe Dan Perry knows him too.

― Sarah McLUsky (coco), Wednesday, 2 July 2003 14:51 (twenty-two years ago)

If he's a pirate I wonder if he knows my best friend's boyfriend? He's a pirate, too. Also an unreliable fucktard. Hey, maybe there IS a connection?

― luna (luna.c), Wednesday, 2 July 2003 14:52 (twenty-two years ago)

not a pirate, a superhero with mutton chops and a five-head.

― Chris V. (Chris V), Wednesday, 2 July 2003 14:54 (twenty-two years ago)

He has five heads? What's a five head?

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Wednesday, 2 July 2003 14:55 (twenty-two years ago)

Ar, matey.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 2 July 2003 14:56 (twenty-two years ago)

one step up from a fore-head.

― Chris V. (Chris V), Wednesday, 2 July 2003 14:58 (twenty-two years ago)

So I'm still wonderin' where nick is...

― luna (luna.c), Wednesday, 2 July 2003 15:39 (twenty-two years ago)

what I need is a good defense 'cause I'm feelin' like a criminal...

― luna (luna.c), Thursday, 3 July 2003 02:37 (twenty-two years ago)

Someone come hit me in the head with a hammer, please? I need to go to sleep and I can't and I have so much to do tomorrow.

I'm right here sweetums, comin' atchya live from the heart of the Bluegrass State via this lovely webbernet thingamabob.
As part of the not-quite-current-anymore American fad of replacing "French" with "Freedom" (ie 'freedom fries' 'freedom kissing' etc.), I've lately taken to saying "pardon my freedom" when I accidentally cuss in front of kids and Christians.

Childrenses + big huge fields at night + a gazillion fireflies = THE BEST.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Thursday, 3 July 2003 12:06 (twenty-two years ago)

Man, am I sleepy. Why doesn't anyone except me ever make any coffee around here? Why did they put my desk next to the coffeemaker?

― kate (kate), Thursday, 3 July 2003 12:08 (twenty-two years ago)

I've lately taken to saying "pardon my freedom" when I accidentally cuss in front of kids and Christians.

I may have to do this.

― luna (luna.c), Thursday, 3 July 2003 15:03 (twenty-two years ago)

I hope everyone in NYC is having fun. I also hope you all projectile vomit all over one another.

― Chris V. (Chris V), Thursday, 3 July 2003 21:26 (twenty-two years ago)

Despite my tendencies to go off the rails I'm still hanging on.
I have someone sweet in my life and if nothing else happens it's been a great couple of weeks.

It's still summer vacation.

― That Girl (thatgirl), Thursday, 3 July 2003 21:48 (twenty-two years ago)

I have been drinking tequila and talked to the man I love tonight.
I also talked to Ally, Mllar and Chris. Y'all rock.
Happy 4th of July, y'all.

I think I shall have another shot to celebrate. wooooo.

― luna (luna.c), Friday, 4 July 2003 08:22 (twenty-two years ago)

I can't believe that it's the 4th of July and here I am at work, almost wishing that I was celebrating or something. I *hated* this holiday when I was in the States, cause I always felt like I was on the wrong side.

Maybe I shall get some tea and go and dump it in the nearest body of water. Which would be the Fleet. Heh heh heh.

― kate (kate), Friday, 4 July 2003 08:25 (twenty-two years ago)

Do it!

It's probably a good thing that I'm not hanging out in chat everynight till 2am but . . .

I still miss you guys. XOXOXO

Hanging out until 2am is silly, Sam - I just want you in chat between about 6pm and midnight London time.

Luna, I won't be able to call tonight...I got invited to a party and I don't own a cell phone. (Yes, I'm one of those people). But have fun, hopefully you found a party!

― Chris V. (Chris V), Friday, 4 July 2003 21:50 (twenty-two years ago)

's cool, sug - the running man wouldn't have worked over the phone anyway. Have fun!

― luna (luna.c), Friday, 4 July 2003 21:52 (twenty-two years ago)

Enjoy the party, Chris...

I'm having a quiet night of it myself. Somebody's fireworks are already starting, which is silly since it's still light.

I miss ILX! I have a shitty internet connection where I'm staying (woo-hoo, dialup at 28.8!) and can barely get on. But upstate NY is really pretty.

Happy 4th Luna and all!

― JuliaA (j_bdules), Friday, 4 July 2003 22:42 (twenty-two years ago)

Sometimes I have really murderous impulses. Most of them involve my ex. I TRY to be nice. I do. I TRY to be reasonable. But christ on a bike, I can almost feel how good it would be to conk him in the head with a casrt iron frying pan...

― luna (luna.c), Saturday, 5 July 2003 03:52 (twenty-two years ago)

I feel murderous tonight myself. Scott wants to party and he should, hey, it's the 4th of July. I don't feel well. So I left him not wanting to be the ball and chain drag of a girlfriend. I didn't expect him to come home with me. The son of a bitch didn't come home with me. Jesus God my tooth hurts.

Yes ma'am it is

― luna (luna.c), Saturday, 5 July 2003 10:48 (twenty-two years ago)

I am kind of reeling from conversations right now - we had a little 'let's sit down and put everything on the table' discussion last night, which is good and all, but it was also really weird. But I was able to tell them that I am finding myself realy fancying someone new, and so we had long tangents about what that might mean whether I am just bored or if there's something wrong with them or if I am just horny or whatever. However, the conclusion was that if I really wanted to pursue a possible something with another person, then they're behind me and will support me and still love me - but they do want to meet this person, before we become physically intimate, but they're also not willing to put any constraints on me - they want me to be happy, whatever that takes. I think I am really damn lucky. (And if that person is reading this, well, hi there and I hope you are well and I am looking forward to when we talk again!)

― luna (luna.c), Saturday, 5 July 2003 20:23 (twenty-two years ago)

Thank you, luna *smile* Time shall tell - but it's very nice to be smitten at the moment.

― I'm Passing Open Windows (Ms Laura), Saturday, 5 July 2003 20:34 (twenty-two years ago)

Smitten rocks my world.

― luna (luna.c), Sunday, 6 July 2003 05:55 (twenty-two years ago)

Mine too - want me to send you some?

Yes please!

Good luck, Laura!

Luna, m'dear, it's in the mail.

Martin, my darling, thank you *laughing*.

― I'm Passing Open Windows (Ms Laura), Sunday, 6 July 2003 16:01 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm in a mood again. I think birthdays do it to me. Well, that and my natural lean to the side of 'drama queen'. I'm feeling a little lonely, I know what I want and I'm trying to be positive, trying to be optmistic, but I don't think I'm going to get it and that just really... hurts.

Having said that, I had an interesting birthday. Fought with my mom, but then went and salsa danced in the parking lot at the beach with my best friend - we turned the car stereo up all the way and just danced. People stopped to watch, and a couple guys even came over and danced with us. We danced, we laughed, we got all hot and sweaty, and then had to leave because the parking lot nazi came and chased us away. Best birthday moments I can remember.

― luna (luna.c), Monday, 7 July 2003 06:50 (twenty-two years ago)

After one week of a migraine with no let up, I finally resort to a new painkiller as paracetamol & ibuprofen off the shelf no longer seem to work. I took 2 syndol yesterday about an hour apart & it seemed to help. However, i have taken 2 today at the same time & I can't focus that well. I am definitely spaced. Oh dear!

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Monday, 7 July 2003 11:36 (twenty-two years ago)

Glad Aimee had a good birthday!
My weekend was a bit hectic, July 4th party was crazy. My legs are sore from bustin moves.
July 5th party at my house was crazy as well, ate way too much meat this weekend. I still have the meat sweats.
Red Sox kicked some Yankee ass this weekend up until yesterday when Andy P. took it to them. Hopefully the Sox will make it 3 games today.

― Chris V. (Chris V), Monday, 7 July 2003 11:46 (twenty-two years ago)

Pedro's pitching against Mussina, I think. I won't count the chicken before it kicks open the shell Pulp Fiction style and goes all kung fu on the coop, but I think we're good.
(Optimistic view: "Cause this is the year."
Not so optimistic view: "... after all, they gotta take it as far as they can get before the All-Star break, to make the fold as dramatic as possible.")

Sorry, can't keep from commenting on Red Sox references :) The other day I had to tell someone what the B on my hat stood for!

― Tep (ktepi), Monday, 7 July 2003 11:49 (twenty-two years ago)

aw, that dancing in the parking lot sounds fantastic. I'm sorry you only had a partially good birthday, though. Keep hoping!

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Monday, 7 July 2003 11:54 (twenty-two years ago)

Did not know Tep was a Sox fan! Nice. Pedro is pitching today, and I bet the SOx will provide him with approx. 1 run for the game as usual when Petey pitches.

― Chris V. (Chris V), Monday, 7 July 2003 12:01 (twenty-two years ago)

Tep was born in Boston -- Southie represent! (Well okay, raised in Sudbury and NH, though, and my adopted parents lived on Beacon Hill.) You better have voted Varitek for the All-Star fan choice wahoosies.

(I have the Manny action figure next to my toothbrush in the bathroom, much to the girlfriend's frequent sighs of disbelief.)

― Tep (ktepi), Monday, 7 July 2003 14:30 (twenty-two years ago)

I am bored and cranky and the hour left before I can leave the office seems like an endless and uninterrupted wasteland of irritation...

Tep, you cannot live somewhere with residents who cannot identify the B. It's halfway to sacrilege, really.

― luna (luna.c), Monday, 7 July 2003 15:21 (twenty-two years ago)

I know! But it was true in New Orleans sometimes, too. Nola's not exactly a baseball town, although the Zephyrs always do well.

― Tep (ktepi), Monday, 7 July 2003 17:08 (twenty-two years ago)

Yes, but people in Nola have other excuses. The heat. The humidity. The copious amounts of alcohol. Whatever. I love Nola and will make any excuse I need to.

But come on, Bloomington? I'm shocked. And frankly, a little appalled. I hope you at least worked up a sufficient sneer.

― luna (luna.c), Monday, 7 July 2003 17:14 (twenty-two years ago)

There's no baseball team here, either, though. Plus, I mean, college students. They were probably looking for the three guys who were supposed to be with me wearing "E," "E," and "R" on their hats.

(Except really it'd be "E," "A," and "R," and then DJ Griz would rock the the mike.)

― Tep (ktepi), Monday, 7 July 2003 17:18 (twenty-two years ago)

Shit, we lost. But so close!

... not sure how I feel about Pedro sending Jeter and Soriano to the hospital.

Sure, go ahead and stare at it for a bit.
IT'S MY NAME BACKWARDS (including the .tk part, is the whole point).

How cool is that? How dorky is that?

― Tep (ktepi), Monday, 7 July 2003 19:54 (twenty-two years ago)

don't you have an apostrophe rather than a full stop in your name?

Also, I'd been wondering where that surname came from?

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Monday, 7 July 2003 20:01 (twenty-two years ago)

Well yeah, and the apostrophe's after the e, not the t -- but still! How many people can do that? Maybe some guy named Moc-something. Or ... well, Tennyson. Damn. And that would be nosyn.net, which actually looks cool.

The origin ... honestly, I tell people it's Finnish (that's the current story), but I made it up. I changed my name when I was fifteen by flipping through a book of Lakota poetry and lifting something that looked name-like but was apparently most likely part of a larger compound word.

― Tep (ktepi), Monday, 7 July 2003 20:05 (twenty-two years ago)

If you made it K'Tepi you could sound like T'Challa, Marvel's Black Panther!

It constantly amazes me the level of conversation we have in this joint (though right now, I'm specifically referring to an AIM chat) - y'all are some of the most wonderful, caring, sensitive (yes, ok for you guys, sensitive 'n shit) people I've ever had the fortune to meet. I adore each and every one of you, from the tops of your heads right down to your little cotton sox.

There's no .ib, though, or if there is they aren't giving out free domains or if they are I didn't know about it ... so, um, it's a last-name-first first-name-last sort of thing. Shhh.

1 goddamn run, goddammit, fsh, psh, grawr. And it's almost the All-Star break. Doesn't matter! This is the year.

― Tep (ktepi), Tuesday, 8 July 2003 11:43 (twenty-two years ago)

― Tep (ktepi), Tuesday, 8 July 2003 11:53 (twenty-two years ago)

I want to agree with you on the "this is the year" assesment but I can't do it with the current pitching staff. If they get another pitcher we may be all set. Yes, i am a member of the fellowship of the miserable.

― Chris V. (Chris V), Tuesday, 8 July 2003 11:55 (twenty-two years ago)

Luna, I'm sorry I missed your birthday and I wasn't around when everyone called you from NYC. You should email me your number and I'll call you up sometime! (uh, that goes for most of you really)

I only spent one day with ILXors up in NYC but that was like 10 hours straight or more and I felt like I knew most of them right off anyway. I spent the remainder of my trip exploring different areas, like Williamsburg and Chelsea, visiting the Whitney, going to a comedy club (Brooklyn Bru Ha ha - it was fuckin' hilarious), and going to see the Fall & the Rogers Sisters at the Knitting Factory. In the end, my back and feet were killing me.
So, now that I'm back home and my vacation's over, I'm still happy. I get to see my kit cats and shower in my own bathroom with all my own soaps and shampoos and foot scrubs and lotions. I didn't feel completely clean in New York despite all the showering.
I had my first Interior Design class last night. I was freaking out because our train was cancelled and then the later one they put us one ran totally late and I missed the first half of my first class. Argh! But the class was SO GREAT and afterwards the teacher stayed with me and caught me up on everything I missed.
Sorry for running on and on here... Must do some work today but anyone who wants can email me because I feel like having more one-on-ones with you guys.

This is the post on the "This is the thread where I say:" thread where I vent my frustration over how I haven't had a proper holiday for like 2 years and have been working very hard at raising my child (kinda BY MYSELF y'know) while his mother is going on her second week-long beach vacation of the summer with two of my best (male) friends, and how this makes me even more frustrated cuz the very-much-EX-special ladyfriend's reasoning for breaking up with me was that she was friends with my son's momma and that was "against the rules" or something. Obviously the rules apply only in female->male situations, and apparently my baby's-momma is fair game to all my male friends whereas all of her female friends (even the ones I introduced her to) now taunt and tease me with their "oh, if not for her" talk, while my homies are down on the beach with my baby's-momma...uh. Okay, rant over. Sorry. This seemed like as appropriate a place as any for that.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Tuesday, 8 July 2003 13:57 (twenty-two years ago)

Damn, Nick, that sucks. Rant away baby. How far away are you from Dallas? I need a vacation. . . we should go get drunk and then I can beat up people for you.

No offense Sam, but Dallas is like the last place I wanna be right now. This has 100% everything to do with this raging sunburn I'm trying my damndest to heal, and absolutely nothing to do with the wonderful city of Dallas itself.

HOLY SHIT! My grandparents just got a couple alpacas on their farm! My son loves them things...they're soft.

No, *I'll* come to you and beat up people, Nick. I don't wanna be in Dallas right now either. In fact I think I might jet out to Austin day after tomorrow just for a breather. . .

God Alaska. . .

FYI, I'm eating the ice from my Sonic iced tea and I just found a piece shaped like a dick and balls. yum, crunchy.

― Chris V. (Chris V), Tuesday, 8 July 2003 15:53 (twenty-two years ago)

I want to agree with you on the "this is the year" assesment but I can't do it with the current pitching staff. If they get another pitcher we may be all set.

We need a better bullpen. Man oh man do we need a better bullpen. We need Ted Turner to move to Boston and bring the Braves' bullpen with him. Hasn't this basically been our problem since Clemens left? Pedro is great, Lowe has his days, but it's really the offense that gets us through ... closer by committee might well work, if we just had a better committee (which is why I think next year might be it, see, cause I think New Young GM is focusing on the minor league system we've been neglecting for...ever.)

― Tep (ktepi), Tuesday, 8 July 2003 15:56 (twenty-two years ago)

Sam - that's so sweet! The thing is though, I'm not even angry with any of these people or anything, I'm just pissed at the way The World Works right now. Luckily I've always been pretty good at getting over "It", no matter what that "It" is.

As for The Dream Vacation - I want it to actually say "honofuckinlulu" on the plane ticket. Just so the people who tear the ticket know how much it means to me.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Tuesday, 8 July 2003 15:59 (twenty-two years ago)

Hell no, get drunk, sit in the sun, do illegal drugs and have sex. Are you kidding me?

I just emailed you, n-dawg.

speaking of dreams, i had one the other night that was rather odd and fun. Odd, because I was hanging out with the Kutcher ass and P.Diddy. Fun because P. Diddy was paying me $200 million to write record reviews. Then I woke up and went back to my shit job.

― Chris V. (Chris V), Tuesday, 8 July 2003 16:16 (twenty-two years ago)

Well that sucks.

― luna (luna.c), Tuesday, 8 July 2003 16:19 (twenty-two years ago)

So what, did Demi have the rest of his body on lock-down or s'um?

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Tuesday, 8 July 2003 16:19 (twenty-two years ago)

no, it was buried in his trucker hat.

I had the biggest crush on a guy named Mike Kutch3r when I was in high school. Damn, he was cute.

mullet?

― Chris V. (Chris V), Tuesday, 8 July 2003 16:23 (twenty-two years ago)

Nope, no mullet. I had quite an afro-tastic jersey girl mall hair perm, though.

― luna (luna.c), Tuesday, 8 July 2003 16:24 (twenty-two years ago)

Is it wrong to make friends you've known since you were 12 feel REALLY GUILTY that they forgot your birthday AGAIN FOR THE 7TH YEAR RUNNING? 'Cause if so, I'm going to hell.

Well, okay, according to Sister Claire, I was anyway, but still...

― luna (luna.c), Tuesday, 8 July 2003 16:41 (twenty-two years ago)

Nope not at all Luna. My best friend since I was 10 forgets mine every damn year. And when I remind him and we make plans to do something, he never makes it. Its a wonder im still best friends with him. Although, he moved to jersey three weeks ago and I think the best friend thing will die.

― Chris V. (Chris V), Tuesday, 8 July 2003 16:42 (twenty-two years ago)

There are two of them. Every year, I say to myself, 'well screw you two, nothing for you next year!' but I always cave. I don't want the fucking king's ransom, you know? But a goddamn phone call would be nice. I'd settle for an email.

I am such a baby.

― luna (luna.c), Tuesday, 8 July 2003 16:51 (twenty-two years ago)

I do the same thing. Hell I don't even get a card from my parents or a phone call from them either. But they've been assholes most of their lives anyways.

― Chris V. (Chris V), Tuesday, 8 July 2003 16:58 (twenty-two years ago)

Why is there never a hole in the ground when you need one??? I just inadvertently flashed the cute messenger. I was in the conference room putting together something to go to Court and my bra strap broke, so I thought well, fuck, no one's around and the door is mostly closed, and hiked up my top to fix it with a safety pin, just as Robert poked his head in the door to find me. We both stood there staring at one another like deer in headlights - though I suppose he was the deer and the headlights were mine - and he very politely backed out of the room and said "I'll um, wait out here."

He so was looking.

― luna (luna.c), Tuesday, 8 July 2003 17:26 (twenty-two years ago)

I will never look this man in the face again.

― luna (luna.c), Tuesday, 8 July 2003 18:46 (twenty-two years ago)

Well, it's not like he's gonna be looking YOU in the face ...

― Tep (ktepi), Tuesday, 8 July 2003 18:47 (twenty-two years ago)

That helps.

― luna (luna.c), Tuesday, 8 July 2003 18:49 (twenty-two years ago)

Hahah, Luna. You should've known as soon as hiked up yr top that someone was going to come in. Murphy's Law you know. ;)

― That Girl (thatgirl), Tuesday, 8 July 2003 18:52 (twenty-two years ago)

Yeah you'd think! I normally would have heard the door open, but one of the dumbfucks I work with propped it open for some fucktastic reason or another.

― luna (luna.c), Tuesday, 8 July 2003 18:54 (twenty-two years ago)

FUCKTASTIC! My new favorite word.
That's not so bad; I was in a pool the other night in my drawers trying to chill out after a very long day and this guy bodyslammed me and I came back up without those drawers. At least 3 dudes and their girlfriends (I was the, um, 7th wheel that night) got a heeping eyefull of my manhood. Of course, there's also the you-know-what-cold-water-does-to-one's-manhood 'shrinkage' factor involved. Ugh.

Good thing we were all wasted.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Tuesday, 8 July 2003 19:02 (twenty-two years ago)

Nick, I kiss you.

― luna (luna.c), Tuesday, 8 July 2003 19:04 (twenty-two years ago)

His boys fell out. haha.

― Chris V. (Chris V), Tuesday, 8 July 2003 21:21 (twenty-two years ago)

I wonder if I should satisfy everyone's desire for NYC projectile vomiting by admitting that I threw up on a street corner somewhere in Little Italy after drinking a LOT on Thursday night. It wasn't really projectile though, more of a drunken "ok stomach: reverse gears!"
The most disgusting thing came afterward when I realized that I had actually sat down on a NYC street after the aforementioned vomiting.

I think I've passed some sort of milestone in this whole process of sorting myself out. I've been able to let go the past couple of days and even if it was just a simple matter of making some new friends, eating, drinking, getting hung over, and dancing - the whole bacchanalia was like my own personal system reset. I'm still my sardonic self and always will be, but I think I've managed to leave a lot of my prior Eeyore-like gloom in the past. I've always thought that these sorts of emotional/personal realizations come in irregular steps and chunks in lieu of a steady continuum, and, well June 2003 is going to be one for the record books.

― Chris Barrus (Chris Barrus), Tuesday, 8 July 2003 22:46 (twenty-two years ago)

Chris, I adore you.

― luna (luna.c), Tuesday, 8 July 2003 22:58 (twenty-two years ago)

Me and Chris are of one mind on this one. I have no idea what exactly it was, but I haven't felt anything even remotely feeling like desire to do anything for a long, long time. Must go on five day drinking benders more often.

Also, I did not vomit at all.

Tim Buckleys "Get On Top" is quite a good song for a striptease.

It's been determined through highly scientific means that Lovage's "Stroker Ace" is also very well suited to this purpose.

― luna (luna.c), Wednesday, 9 July 2003 14:50 (twenty-two years ago)

I think I finished my shopping this afternoon. I sure hope the stuff is good. I feel better now than I did on the weekend; I'm so sorry I was such a downer, NYC FAPpers. Not really looking forward to the drive home, mostly because I'm just starting to relax and have fun and then I'll have to go home and go back to work/reality. I've decided that for the next 48 hours I'm going to stop calling myself an asshole and just see how that works out for me. I could really see myself living in Toronto. It feels like being in a really nice small town in a lot of ways. If only the weather was always like it's been while I've been here.

― BryanInToranna, Wednesday, 9 July 2003 21:00 (twenty-two years ago)

I want to go play in the sun instead of being stuck in this goddamn office. It's summer! I should be laying by the pool! Surfing! Playing in the sprinklers! I should be involved in things where I get wet!

I don't think anyone has ever thought I was a slut. But don't worry, my relatives think I'm plenty evil & promiscuous. (Hmmm... I wonder how you spell that...)

I have gotten snob though. Believe it or not, sometimes I just don't feel like talking to some people. So there!

We're gonna buy her her own Made For People stuffed animal, because they're softer and plusher than cat toys, and I assume that's the appeal.

Naughty luna.

I take it all back! I'll... um.. drink a Moxie to prove how sorry I am! And not spit or swear!

Hey, zombie blowjobs are your card now. I tagged you fair and square.

I leave the zombie blowjobs to Tep.

Chowdahheaded ho? Oh this is war, slugger.

I'm tired and moody and can't tell if the moodiness is hormonal or a result of being tired - or even if the cause really matters. And I am stressed right now over my David, who is going through a rather horrid bought of depression and is perceiving everything incorrectly and there's not a damn thing I can do about it except to love him and try to keep his mind on the possibilites of the future. And at the same time I am falling heavily in (like/lust/love/infatuation) with someone and so I am pissed that David's mental illness is pulling me down, emotionally. But at the same time I am not about to lose him, so I feel all torn. And no, this does not mean that I want that other person to go away. I know David's in a shitty spot right now and that the pressure is finally getting to him - I would have broken down a lot sooner. But right now I feel like I have nothing to give to him to help with the healing - and I feel like I am hitting my head against a brick wall - or maybe I am just being melodramatic and over-reacting and really he is okay and just in a bad mood. But it's pretty damn difficult to tell where he's coming from when he can't verbalize stuff. And Glenn is being wonderful, of course, but he's so emotionally detached from the world that he can't give me or David the support that we need right now. And this person that I am falling for is wonderful, but I know that I must be idealizing them on some level, but right now all I want is to hear their voice. Oh, and I've decided that morally and ethically I cannot adopt a baby hedgehog, so that has me sad too. I think that I need to go to sleep - everything will look better by morning - or at least then I'll have the mental capacity to view it with a more open mind.

― I'm Passing Open Windows (Ms Laura), Friday, 11 July 2003 03:37 (twenty-two years ago)

Where did you find a baby hedgehog?

When I lived at my dad's one summer, I rescued a bunch of baby groundhogs. They lived under the guest house and would occasionally come up to eat flowers my dad and step-mom had planted. I knew that when my step-mom's dad came out to the house he would definitely shoot them. So I spent hours by the hole and got them used to me. And then I started picking them up one by one. And by the end of the summer they were my little forest creature friends like in snow white. I put them all in a cardboard box and my dad and I drove them out to the parkway and let them go there. Sadly, the mom was much too big and strong for me to catch and my step-mom's dad shot him that Fall.
This morning I somehow made it to work in 12 minutes. It normally takes me at least 20. See, I was working on a mix cd on the computer in the guitar room (this one's for Luna!) and the computer clock said 8, but it turned out it was already 8:15 and I'm supposed to be at work at 8:30. So I had to get dressed really fast and drive like a crazy person. But here I am.
I had weird dreams again last night. Like in one, I had to carry 20 bags of popcorn all at once. So, of course, I dropped them. And as I was trying to throw away the popcorn that fell on the floor and rebalance all the bags, a bunch of them got ripped. Then the manager of the movie theater took me to his office and called in my boss and they both yelled at me a lot.

In better news, it's Friday.

― Sarah McLUsky (coco), Friday, 11 July 2003 11:55 (twenty-two years ago)

I can't stop listening to this Broken Social Scene cd, amazing and fucked up at the same time, i can't explain it.

I couldnd't think of anything. I panicked. Sue me.

― luna (luna.c), Friday, 11 July 2003 23:25 (twenty-two years ago)

I took today off and hung out with my best friend - we went to the California Center downtown (California Plaza? Whatever) and saw the beginning of their summer concert series - this one was an apparently famous mariachi band whose name I've forgotten but were really good nevertheless. And they were dressed in suede. In about 90 degree weather. Jesus. Also, I got a slight sunburn - BUT ONLY ON ONE SIDE. I look retarded.

― luna (luna.c), Friday, 11 July 2003 23:27 (twenty-two years ago)

Pretend to be a Trekkie for the next few days.

You couldn't think of anything else cause there AIN'T nothing else. (I mean, what would you call someone from Vermont? Oh right, Phishhead. Nevermind.)

― Tep (ktepi), Saturday, 12 July 2003 00:36 (twenty-two years ago)

For some reason practically everything in the world annoys me today, and yet the one thing of a sort that usually annoys me for a moment -- realizing that if The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen takes place in 1899, Tom Sawyer would be in his 60s, so hey what the hell? -- didn't at all.

Probably I need more cigarettes.

― Tep (ktepi), Saturday, 12 July 2003 02:51 (twenty-two years ago)

Really, it hurts me in my heart to do this, but since you're being all annoyed and shit, I submit the following, may CoCo Chanel have mercy on my soul:
http://www.moxiefestival.com

(I love how one of the 'highlights' of the festival is the Friday carwash. Also that there are unspecified 'medieval events'. I think that means torture. They probably make you drink Moxie!)

― luna (luna.c), Saturday, 12 July 2003 03:48 (twenty-two years ago)

I have never had a Moxie.

― That Girl (thatgirl), Saturday, 12 July 2003 07:52 (twenty-two years ago)

Don't. Trust me on this. STAY AWAY.

― luna (luna.c), Saturday, 12 July 2003 09:53 (twenty-two years ago)

And anything Tep says to the contrary is a big fat lie.

― luna (luna.c), Saturday, 12 July 2003 09:54 (twenty-two years ago)

What the sweet fuck are those geeks doing with my Moxie?

― Tep (ktepi), Saturday, 12 July 2003 14:14 (twenty-two years ago)

You'd better go find out. Quick! Only one day left!

― luna (luna.c), Saturday, 12 July 2003 19:50 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm not going to Maine!

And you say you love Moxie. Pshaw.

― luna (luna.c), Saturday, 12 July 2003 20:09 (twenty-two years ago)

But it's Maaaaaaine! Besides, I could've gone w/ friends on a road trip to Cincinnati's Jungle Jim's to get Moxie if I'd wanted, that's much closer than Maine.

― Tep (ktepi), Saturday, 12 July 2003 20:28 (twenty-two years ago)

Watch it, bub.

Hey, I don't know what kind of fancy hookers you get that come equipped with their own bed.

― oops (Oops), Sunday, 13 July 2003 08:37 (twenty-two years ago)

I don't get hookers, champ, I'm just sayin that it's a commonly known fact.

― luna (luna.c), Sunday, 13 July 2003 08:44 (twenty-two years ago)

Commonly known by people who kill hookers. And thus, most likely hookers, too. Hmmm...

it was just a question. looks like someone's been hitting the sauce a lil too much.

― oops (Oops), Sunday, 13 July 2003 09:25 (twenty-two years ago)

I have not. I had two really old darvocet and about three glasses of water - which is REALLY BAD because now I have to pee and that means hopping to the bathroom.

Besides, I'm fun when I'm drunk, pardnah.

― luna (luna.c), Sunday, 13 July 2003 09:26 (twenty-two years ago)

Sure, if your idea of fun is screaming 'Into the Mystic' over and over and over...

― oops (Oops), Sunday, 13 July 2003 09:28 (twenty-two years ago)

Sometimes it is exactly that. It's a fuckin' good song, buddy.

― luna (luna.c), Sunday, 13 July 2003 09:29 (twenty-two years ago)

Your hold on the concept of fun is tentative at best.

Listen up hombre, what's fun for you isn't always going to be fun for everyone else.

― luna (luna.c), Sunday, 13 July 2003 09:35 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh, so you don't want to get high and have sex? Fine, have fun w/your singing, loser.

― oops (Oops), Sunday, 13 July 2003 09:36 (twenty-two years ago)

I was talking about being drunk, first of all. Secondly, I have gotten drunk and had sex, and yeah, it was fun. Thirdly, you might wanna work on your pitch there, cowpoke.

― luna (luna.c), Sunday, 13 July 2003 09:39 (twenty-two years ago)

Who needs a pitch when there are transvestitie hookers in my backseat? yes, hookerS. plural.

― oops (Oops), Sunday, 13 July 2003 09:42 (twenty-two years ago)

Well that sounded like an offer to me, Ace.

― luna (luna.c), Sunday, 13 July 2003 09:44 (twenty-two years ago)

It was, doll. But i don't NEED a good pitch cuz i got the hookers to fall back on, ya see?

― oops (Oops), Sunday, 13 July 2003 09:49 (twenty-two years ago)

Do you see how that isn't the kind of thing you wanna be throwing about idly, mac?

― luna (luna.c), Sunday, 13 July 2003 09:54 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh, when I say 'hookers' you think I mean prostitutes, ladies of the night, street pole suckers. No, when I say 'hookers' I mean 'masturbating lonely to German fetish porn and then crying myself to sleep'. Capice, bub?

― oops (Oops), Sunday, 13 July 2003 10:05 (twenty-two years ago)

Uh huh. You mean the kind of women you could find about this time of night on Hollywood Boulevard dressed in spandex and smelling of cheap booze and long forgotten dreams who walk boldly up to your idling car and ask if you wanna date with that bored look in their eyes that suggests they'd rather be anywhere else - even if it meant slinging hash in some small midwestern greasy diner and being on their feet all day instead of their backs, because god dammit, it beats the hell out of this california dream, babydoll - than here with you trying to make a quick $50 that will keep them in nightrain and cheap plastic shoes for another day and a half.

― luna (luna.c), Sunday, 13 July 2003 10:11 (twenty-two years ago)

Dude, quit bumming me out and shit.
Anyway, you got it all wrong, punchy. Their dreams were just recently forgotten.

Next time look them in the eyes, sweetheart.

― luna (luna.c), Sunday, 13 July 2003 10:15 (twenty-two years ago)

Sweetheart? Well, first it was dumbass so I guess we're getting somewhere. Can you, um, fit me in around 8ish?

― oops (Oops), Sunday, 13 July 2003 10:18 (twenty-two years ago)

Sorry - I'll be singing, punk.

― luna (luna.c), Sunday, 13 July 2003 10:19 (twenty-two years ago)

You'll still be able to sing...it'll just be all garbled and unitelligible.

Sure I do, mon amie. Just 'cause you're that easy doesn't mean I am.

I could fit what you know about anything onto the head of a pin and still have room left over for a hundred dancing girls and 346 George Foreman 'family size' grills. Puh-leaze.

― luna (luna.c), Monday, 14 July 2003 07:23 (twenty-two years ago)

Sure could, if the pin was the size of the known universe, of which I lord over supreme.

The pin is normal pin size, and the only supreme anything around you is your pizza.

I luv you too, angelgirl. One of these days...

― luna (luna.c), Monday, 14 July 2003 08:01 (twenty-two years ago)

Who you trying to hustle, jefe?

― oops (Oops), Monday, 14 July 2003 08:02 (twenty-two years ago)

You seem to be awfully into this hustling thing. Seek help.

― luna (luna.c), Monday, 14 July 2003 08:06 (twenty-two years ago)

You seem to have lost your mind. Seek it.

― oops (Oops), Monday, 14 July 2003 08:16 (twenty-two years ago)

Yeah, apparently I have. Offering a small reward for it's return...

― luna (luna.c), Monday, 14 July 2003 08:18 (twenty-two years ago)

I left this awesome star necklace that my BF gave me at Matthew's house. He will bring it back.

― That Girl (thatgirl), Monday, 14 July 2003 08:21 (twenty-two years ago)

Or we will kick his ass.

― luna (luna.c), Monday, 14 July 2003 08:22 (twenty-two years ago)

Now where was I? I suppose I'd know if I hadn't lost my mind...

― luna (luna.c), Monday, 14 July 2003 08:33 (twenty-two years ago)

You were saying how much you learn from me everyday.

― oops (Oops), Monday, 14 July 2003 08:36 (twenty-two years ago)

I may be forgetful, but I ain't stupid, scooby.

― luna (luna.c), Monday, 14 July 2003 08:37 (twenty-two years ago)

Not after learning from me ya ain't, Thelma

― oops (Oops), Monday, 14 July 2003 08:42 (twenty-two years ago)

I confess. I've learned as much from you as I ever did from the calculus class I took in high school.

― luna (luna.c), Monday, 14 July 2003 08:51 (twenty-two years ago)

If that ain't a left-handed compliment than call me Billy the Kid

― oops (Oops), Monday, 14 July 2003 08:54 (twenty-two years ago)

Well you see, it's just that I never took calculus in high school...Billy

― luna (luna.c), Monday, 14 July 2003 08:57 (twenty-two years ago)

I wouldn't think they offered calculus courses at Velvet Jones' school

― oops (Oops), Monday, 14 July 2003 09:44 (twenty-two years ago)

I win! It's all tied up, mofo

― oops (Oops), Monday, 14 July 2003 09:45 (twenty-two years ago)

Nonethless I still would fuck all you of you before I *wouldn't* fuck all of you.

That Girl = ODB shocker!

Nick's baby's-momma & son: going to Hilton Head, South Carolina for a week. Nick's bass player: going to Los Angeles for a week. Nick's homeboy: going to New Orleans for a week. Nick's uncle: going to Hawaii for a week. Nick: jealous.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Monday, 14 July 2003 13:21 (twenty-two years ago)

I finished your cd this morning, Luna. I'll probably go mail it over lunch.

That Girl, is every day of your life like that show King of the Hill? I mean, cuz you're in Texas (and that's a great show, no offense to Texas/ where my mom grew up).

It is pretty outside today. I drove in to work with my window down and it smelled like watermelon everywhere.

I'm paying lots of bills today. It's Monday. I'm trying to not think about those two things.
But I have class tonight. :)

― Sarah McLUsky (coco), Monday, 14 July 2003 13:24 (twenty-two years ago)

Yay, we recorded a few songs this weekend at this really cool old warehouse place. I got ridiculously drunk though and slurred. We also had an impromptu hippie moment and recorded a 20 minute jam. Isn't that what its all about.

Yesterday I went to the Brimfield fair and played a 1973 Guild acoustic guitar. I wanted it. But it was $1200. So instead I got to carry around two rusty antique buckets for my wife. I had rust all over my linen shirt.

― Chris V. (Chris V), Monday, 14 July 2003 13:55 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm still putting together your cd Sarah - also playing hooky from work again today, so I'll mail it in the next couple days.

― luna (luna.c), Monday, 14 July 2003 21:20 (twenty-two years ago)

I want to go on vacation too, and I can't either, Nick - let's make margaritas, call each other and put on beach music - it'll be almost the same!

― luna (luna.c), Monday, 14 July 2003 21:22 (twenty-two years ago)

Also, my back hurts. Dammit.

― luna (luna.c), Monday, 14 July 2003 21:35 (twenty-two years ago)

and your knee. don't forget about the knee.

― oops (Oops), Monday, 14 July 2003 21:37 (twenty-two years ago)

I have to HOP - how am I gonna forget about it?

― luna (luna.c), Monday, 14 July 2003 21:40 (twenty-two years ago)

that's probably why it hurts. I obviously need to be carried.

― luna (luna.c), Monday, 14 July 2003 21:42 (twenty-two years ago)

hey, i offered...

― oops (Oops), Monday, 14 July 2003 21:43 (twenty-two years ago)

To carry me? You're a little far away...

― luna (luna.c), Monday, 14 July 2003 21:44 (twenty-two years ago)

Because sometimes you can't say things to the people you need to say them to: I know it's only been a little while, but I miss you. Obviously there isn't as much free time as there used to be, and circumstances are different now, but I just can't let it all go and not think about it. I still crave those things... Gotta get over it though, life is rushing us all forward at an incredible speed and I guess at certain points there just isn't time. I haven't forgotten though - just so you know, and in case it still means anything.

― luna (luna.c), Monday, 14 July 2003 22:30 (twenty-two years ago)

Having said that, and on a completely unrelated issue, dear god, dog farts are wretched.

― luna (luna.c), Monday, 14 July 2003 22:33 (twenty-two years ago)

Sarah, yes my life is total King of the Hill.

― That Girl (thatgirl), Monday, 14 July 2003 22:35 (twenty-two years ago)

Could be worse...

― luna (luna.c), Monday, 14 July 2003 22:40 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm sure everyone reading this thread is glad that that's an unrelated issue.

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Monday, 14 July 2003 22:55 (twenty-two years ago)

This thread has almost 1000 posts! Also, dog farts are textbook hilarious.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Monday, 14 July 2003 22:57 (twenty-two years ago)

And stinky, dear lord...

― luna (luna.c), Tuesday, 15 July 2003 00:29 (twenty-two years ago)

And welcome to post 1000. I'd like to thank the Academy, my parents for having raised me to post to message boards almost incessantly, the people I work with for being so deathly boring, my own brain for never shutting down long enough to let me sleep, and last, but not least, to all of you on ILx. I couldn't have done it without any of you...

― luna (luna.c), Tuesday, 15 July 2003 00:31 (twenty-two years ago)

It's before midnight and I'm going to bed - surely this is the seventh sign?

― luna (luna.c), Tuesday, 15 July 2003 05:46 (twenty-two years ago)

Luna, I love you. If you didn't know this, you know it now sweetie.

― That Girl (thatgirl), Tuesday, 15 July 2003 06:53 (twenty-two years ago)

Listening to our recordings, I kind of think its good. Full band, drums and a hammond organ. I'm going to toot my own horn and say I sound pretty darn good for being a drunk bastard.

― Chris V. (Chris V), Tuesday, 15 July 2003 10:35 (twenty-two years ago)

...tonight on your back...

― Chris V. (Chris V), Tuesday, 15 July 2003 10:39 (twenty-two years ago)

So, this morning I take the fast way to work so I can pick up some breakfast. I decide to swing in to the (evil, yes yes) Starbucks because it is on the way to work pretty much. I go inside and the line to order drinks is HUGE! Basically goes all the way through and out the back door... So, I sigh and get back in my car and get to work on time.
I'm sitting at my desk starving and my boss calls in. First thing he says is, "Good morning! How are you doing?" And I say, "Fine." And before I can say anything else he says, "Now, Sarah, when you are speaking to someone on the phone and they ask you how you are doing, you are supposed to ask them how they're doing back. For example, 'How are you doing, Sarah?'; 'I'm doing fine, thanks. How have you been?' That's how you're supposed to talk to clients, attorneys, lenders, EVERYONE! Always ask how the other person is doing..." blah di blah di fukn blah.
Then he got a call on the other line and asked me to hold. In a fit of rage, I hung up on him. I FAXed a couple of things as my phone rung off the hook. Then I called him back and he's like, "Did you get another call while you were on hold or something?" And I said, "Oh, I went to check for this FAX real quick..." ha ha. I'm SO evil.

And then it turned out the receptionist had an extra chocolate chip muffin for me! So I warmed it up on the microwave and got chocolate all over my fingers and even on my face! Great stuff! So now I'm feeling a little bettter.

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Tuesday, 15 July 2003 12:31 (twenty-two years ago)

Hell with Sarah's boss.

― luna (luna.c), Tuesday, 15 July 2003 15:20 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm totally stoked for you Chris! That sounds excellent!
In other news...
Why on Earth would anyone specifically voluntarily choose to CHEW TOBACCO!?! And then, why would any of those particular strange-Os find it a good idea to actually ACCUMULATE your juicy tobacco spits over a LONG period of time in a SODA BOTTLE!?!?! This world never fails to amaze me.

I wish you were all here right now so I could take us all out for margaritas.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Tuesday, 15 July 2003 15:55 (twenty-two years ago)

Strange-Os: the cereal made with real chewing tobacco! Each box comes with a free Rollie Fingers plastic cuspidor.

― Tep (ktepi), Tuesday, 15 July 2003 16:06 (twenty-two years ago)

I'd totally go for those margararitas right now, too - I don't care that it's only 10 am! (It's partially due to the company, of course, but also that I really want to get drunk.)

― luna (luna.c), Tuesday, 15 July 2003 16:12 (twenty-two years ago)

I really hate phone numbers I have to spell.

― luna (luna.c), Tuesday, 15 July 2003 16:19 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm up for the margaritas too! (though, realistically, it would probably be more like one and I'd be totally gone)
Cool about the songs, Chris. Have you tried emailing me one?

I don't like my job today so I think I'll learn about flights to Chicago instead.

― Sarah McLUsky (coco), Tuesday, 15 July 2003 19:00 (twenty-two years ago)

Back to thread:
This is the thread where I say:
Now I know where all the bad advice comes from.
I marvel at the impression management.
I cannot believe, cannot believe, can't even try to think how reality and delusion exist in the same brain, as I hear the lies that cover the situation.
Damn. I am speechless of the face of the evil of it.
It is vast, incomprehensible.
I don't want it to happen to anyone else.
Please God don't let it happen to anyone else.
I am taking the rest of the day off.

― Orbit (Orbit), Tuesday, 15 July 2003 21:10 (twenty-two years ago)

Did I really spell that as 'margararitas'? Looks like I'd been hitting the sauce already! Alas, I had not.
I think I'm skipping class tonight, but not sure...
I think I also have a paper due on Thursday, but I'm not really sure about that, either. Oops. Maybe it's next week. I guess we're supposed to watch 'Quest for Fire' tonight... Yeah, I'm skipping it.

I really hate imperious little men who think they have to make up for their lack in height by BEING FUCKTARDS.

― luna (luna.c), Tuesday, 15 July 2003 21:15 (twenty-two years ago)

Someone who shall remain nameless just imed me and pasted what turned out to be a horoscope, and it said "You'll finally be able to build the home you've always dreamed of now that you have enough blankets and couch cushions," and I thought YAY, I GET TO HAVE A FORT!
because, you know, who doesn't want a fort, right? And then *nameless person* was giving me shit about building a fort, and I want a fort! Someone help me build a fort now!

― luna (luna.c), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 05:26 (twenty-two years ago)

I was not giving you shit! Well, not about building a fort

― nameless person (Oops), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 05:30 (twenty-two years ago)

If you bring it up and make me want it, then you have to find it for me or give it to me. Those are the rules. *flag*

― luna (luna.c), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 05:32 (twenty-two years ago)

is it time to start pt 2 of this thread yet? it's harder to load than JayZ vs Nas

― electric sound of jim (electricsound), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 05:35 (twenty-two years ago)

― oops (Oops), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 05:37 (twenty-two years ago)

Part 2 has begun...
