America Recovers: MC Hammer Records Video on Capitol Hill
Aired October 18, 2001 - 06:58 ET
THIS IS A RUSH TRANSCRIPT. THIS COPY MAY NOT BE IN ITS FINAL FORM AND MAY BE UPDATED.

LEON HARRIS, CNN ANCHOR: All right, get ready for the picture of the day. There may be no end to the tributes and the fund raisers for the victims of the terrorist attacks on the U.S.

KYRA PHILLIPS, CNN ANCHOR: Some stars are coming out of retirement just to be a part of the action. Take a look at this, 1990's wrapper MC Hammer taped a music video on Capitol Hill Wednesday afternoon. Proceeds from the song will go to the families of the victims of the September 11 attack. This song is called "No Stopping Us Now U.S." and it will feature Oklahoma Representative J.C. Watts, Texas Representative Eddie Bernice Johnson and Alabama Representative Earl Hilliard. This song will be released November 1.

MC Hammer: Let's Get It (Re) Started

MC Hammer is not the kind of guy to sit around twiddling his thumbs. When we get him on the phone to discuss the new film VH1 has made of his life, he's just about to attend a Capitol Hill reception honoring his new video. The location makes sense. For "No Stopping Us Now - U.S.A." Hammer has persuaded a number of politicos, including Rep. Diane Watson (D-Calif.) and Rep. Corinne Brown (D-Fla.), into shaking their tail-feathers in front of a camera. The rapper wrote the anthem after the September 11 attacks, and says it's "less of a mourning song and more of a warning song." Enemies of the U.S. better look out.

I avoided the other thread b/c I was behind and feared all the unread posts. hurray new starts!

I'm unbeleivebly freaking slammed. So much for a nice, slow 3 day week back from holidays. :( And I'm all alone in the office this week and had envisioned kicking off early and such. hah! I was in yesterday at 6:30 am and will probably stay late tonight. boo to all these annoying people and their webby demands!

― Ms Misery (MissMiseryTX), Friday, 5 January 2007 16:54 (eighteen years ago)

Hi gbx and Sam!

Can I address FB as "JBear" in person from now on? Sooooo tempting.

Sam, sorry your work is teh suck this week. I hope it gets better soon. Is it beginning of term craziness? (Am I remembering right that you work at a university?)

― Sara R-C (Sara R-C), Friday, 5 January 2007 16:57 (eighteen years ago)

yes I do but the kids aren't back yet I don't think. I work for employee and campus services though so kids are nothing but an annoyance for us.

― Ms Misery (MissMiseryTX), Friday, 5 January 2007 17:26 (eighteen years ago)

We never actually went to Cincy! We saw J-Bop's family at her sister's place in Philly (MADNESS, btw; 5 alpha-females in one house = eek) and then my folks in Akron. It was good times! I HAS A XM RADIO! How was M-N? How are Chessmater and Nagawesome and L'il Bear?

I need to remind J-Diggy that I volunteered Feb. as a good time to visit, Sara. I am certain it will be fine.

― The Android Cat (Dan Perry), Friday, 5 January 2007 18:11 (eighteen years ago)

February could work! Must talk to A. about when I can escape. Anytime before my "spring" weekend classes begin, I think. (Did you know that, at St. Kate's, "spring" lasts until mid-July?!)

FIVE alpha-females, huh? LOL... but you escaped with your life, that is a relief.

ugsp, I still haven't figured out how to see your documentary.

Sorry, ned, H-town was rather dull over the holidays. A portal briefly opened up over the courthouse and a large tenticle protruded, but was cut off when the portal snapped shut. The alien appendage quickly melted and evaporated. Hastings scientists are studying the resulting green stain on the courhouse sidewalk. Also, a few more children have disappeared down by the standpipe in the barrens. Nothing out of the ordinary.

In HSTNGS-related news, I am an aunt again!

G4v1n is a cool name. Do your kids get to see their cousins much?

― The Android Cat (Dan Perry), Monday, 8 January 2007 14:38 (eighteen years ago)

Ha ha, Dan, that's an idea that I had somehow missed...

My kids see their cousins pretty often, at least on my side; they have one cousin who lives in Michigan that I wish they could see more often. But my sister lives maybe half an hour away, so it's easy to get over there or meet up in Hastings.

"G4v1n" sounds like a country western star to me. If he starts singing "Achey Brakey Heart," I'm so never speaking to him again. Then again, perhaps Dan's notion would head that off.

― Fleischhutliebe! like a warm, furry meatloaf (Fluffy Bear Hearts Rainbows), Monday, 8 January 2007 22:24 (eighteen years ago)

I'll trust you, but the fact that it's the same guy who directed "Y Tu Mama Tambien" still makes me wary...

― John Justen says Toonces was one of the most talented cats on televison (johnjus, Monday, 8 January 2007 22:39 (eighteen years ago)

I won't get into Y Tu, which I really liked, but this is not the same sort of movie at all. It's one of the most heart-wrenchingly beautiful movies I've ever seen. I don't want to affect your experience of the movie so I won't go into it any more right now.

― Fleischhutliebe! like a warm, furry meatloaf (Fluffy Bear Hearts Rainbows), Monday, 8 January 2007 22:46 (eighteen years ago)

You people better not be overselling this fuxor. (I'll be seeing it Thursday night but I just want a good film, not the second coming.)

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 8 January 2007 22:50 (eighteen years ago)

Just don't go in expecting something complicated or opaque.

― Fleischhutliebe! like a warm, furry meatloaf (Fluffy Bear Hearts Rainbows), Monday, 8 January 2007 22:53 (eighteen years ago)

I really REALLY want to see Children of Men. Married strange guy who doesn't like futuristic dystopias. Am hoping he's getting the book for me from the library anyway.

(Should I read the book first FB? Er... JBEAR? You and Dan both giving the movie high recommendations suggests I should see it regardless. I'm unmoved by the question of "Y To Mama Tambien" because I haven't seen it.)

Also, I should maybe ask if this is the kind of movie that is going to freak me if I go. I'd hate to climb into the lap of a stranger without being properly prepared with at least some breath mints.

― Sara R-C (Sara R-C), Monday, 8 January 2007 22:54 (eighteen years ago)

x-post -- *tries to judge for sarcasm level, fails* Don't get me wrong, I've wanted to see this film for some months now, but I'm beginning to think I know too much about it at this point. (Which is why I'm staying away from the thread about it.)

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 8 January 2007 22:54 (eighteen years ago)

No sarcasm. Sara, I know nothing about the book.

I'm beginning to think I know too much about it at this point.

I really don't want to say anything more about the movie for that very reason.

― Fleischhutliebe! like a warm, furry meatloaf (Fluffy Bear Hearts Rainbows), Monday, 8 January 2007 22:58 (eighteen years ago)

And I will refrain from saying what I do know!

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 8 January 2007 23:01 (eighteen years ago)

Okay then. I'm still at a loss. Seriously, is this the kind of movie where I will cower in the back of the theater? (Um... like Jurassic Park? Just promise there are no dinosaurs involved!)

― Sara R-C (Sara R-C), Monday, 8 January 2007 23:04 (eighteen years ago)

Sara, I just emailed you.

― Fleischhutliebe! like a warm, furry meatloaf (Fluffy Bear Hearts Rainbows), Monday, 8 January 2007 23:08 (eighteen years ago)

I have been forewarned. ;)

― Sara R-C (Sara R-C), Monday, 8 January 2007 23:10 (eighteen years ago)

Argh, book not at library. A. says he does not want to see movie "unless it ends right." (I will pay forever for not warning him about the ending of Gone with the Wind, I guess. But how was I supposed to know that he didn't know the ending?!)

― Sara R-C (Sara R-C), Monday, 8 January 2007 23:33 (eighteen years ago)

"ROSEBUD" IS A SLED.

― John Justen says Toonces was one of the most talented cats on televison (johnjus, Monday, 8 January 2007 23:52 (eighteen years ago)

I'm not sure if that falls into the "doesn't end right" category. And he might know about that one. (Also, John, please kick yourself in the shin for me.)

I'd like to see Casablanca again myself, but you see my dilemma.

― Sara R-C (Sara R-C), Tuesday, 9 January 2007 00:03 (eighteen years ago)

I wanted to see 'Children of Men' just because I think the name RULES.
It sounds like the title of a Satanist In Love song of some kind.

― Fleischhutliebe! like a warm, furry meatloaf (Fluffy Bear Hearts Rainbows), Tuesday, 9 January 2007 15:45 (eighteen years ago)

DUDE ARGH DO NOT TEMPT GOOGLING NAZIS (good choice tho)

Magenta = Kirstie Alley
Rocky = Danny Bonaduce
Columbia = Raven Symone

― The Android Cat (Dan Perry), Tuesday, 9 January 2007 15:47 (eighteen years ago)

Can you really replace Meatloaf?

Columbia is my favorite. (I don't know if this would still work, but I could always crack M3l1ss4 up by saying, "ha! I've seen it!" Also, I don't know how many times I started singing, "It was great when it all began..." during that era.)

Kirstie Alley = ARGH

― Sara R-C (Sara R-C), Tuesday, 9 January 2007 15:49 (eighteen years ago)

Would you prefer Bea Arthur? Because those are your only two choices.

― The Android Cat (Dan Perry), Tuesday, 9 January 2007 15:50 (eighteen years ago)

Dr. Von Scot = Rip Taylor!

― Fleischhutliebe! like a warm, furry meatloaf (Fluffy Bear Hearts Rainbows), Tuesday, 9 January 2007 15:50 (eighteen years ago)

U R Cruel. But seriously, Bea Arthur would be better. I freaking hate Kirstie Alley.

― Sara R-C (Sara R-C), Tuesday, 9 January 2007 15:51 (eighteen years ago)

― Fleischhutliebe! like a warm, furry meatloaf (Fluffy Bear Hearts Rainbows), Tuesday, 9 January 2007 15:51 (eighteen years ago)

Okay, so Kirstie Alley it is!

(Bea Arthur can be the narrator.)

Why does Dan want to watch Olivia make out with Bea Arthur/Kirstie Alley?

This is one of those questions that answers itself!

Poor A. He never had a chance... (but I can still keep him, right? Cuz I'm fond...)

Dan. Oh my.

― Sara R-C (Sara R-C), Tuesday, 9 January 2007 15:59 (eighteen years ago)

Dan, I'm not sure that answer is satisfactory. I suspect something deeper, unwholesome.

Also: Cheech and Chong get to be the Transylvanians. Which means they have to shoot each scene six times and CGI them in as a dozen Cheech & Chongs.

― Fleischhutliebe! like a warm, furry meatloaf (Fluffy Bear Hearts Rainbows), Tuesday, 9 January 2007 15:59 (eighteen years ago)

Well, I think Dan has at least covered unwholesome, you have to admit that.

― Sara R-C (Sara R-C), Tuesday, 9 January 2007 16:00 (eighteen years ago)

I have realized elsewhere that this cast means that Donald Trump will first jump into Bonaduce's arms with his legs around the other's torso, then later will go down on Bullock.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 9 January 2007 16:01 (eighteen years ago)

And to think I was having trouble with the notion of Trump wearing fishnet stockings. And singing.

― Sara R-C (Sara R-C), Tuesday, 9 January 2007 16:02 (eighteen years ago)

I don't know if I want to live in a world where making Sara's brain implode is considered "unwholesome".

― The Android Cat (Dan Perry), Tuesday, 9 January 2007 16:08 (eighteen years ago)

But this is the best of all possible worlds! (combine RHPS with Candide for serious extra credit points)

I wish I was more able to not... be hyper polite, I guess is what you'd call it. (Of course I'm now thinking of the numerous times I should have told people off that I just didn't. I weigh the cost too heavily, I think.)

I always look the covers of women's magazines: Get Thin Now!!! combined with Ten New Chocolate Pies!!! It is kind of crazy.

I enjoyed Japan and the food there, but on the whole, not enough chocolate (ahem), or enough dairy. The first thing I did when I got home after 2 weeks was to make myself a plate of nachos. This was after about 24 hours of travel, at 2 in the morning, mind you. Once a person adjusts, though, I'm sure it is fine.

I take that back, since I was 18.
7 years. seven years I've deaded this day because no longer did it signify anything good.
"School's out!" by then I'd ceased to see the difference between wandering aimlessly around the twin cities (because I had no money and all I could get out of my parents was gas money) and sitting in a place I hated reading books I wasn't asked to.
"Work week is over!" ....that's never been true until now, and that's a move from being kinda busy to bored.
There's no Adult Swim.
"Party night!" WHY??? READ THE ABOVE!!! FUCK!!!!
Also years in retail have basically made me despise this day. All the morons arrive in whatever store you work in 98% of fridays, and there are too damned many of them.

I beseech you all to keep those who are involved in your lives aware of changes that may affect them noticably.

I, in an effort to save money and thinking no changes could possibly interfere, as I was not aware of such a possibility, purchased a non-refundable round-trip ticket to Japan.

My one month trip was to be spent lazily with the family I know. All was planned out last summer.

What I was not made aware of by the father, whom is the only person involved I have had contact with, is that Mrs. K's father has fallen ill, and she has returned to Taiwan.
He will be going there for a period of time undetermined.

My one-month trip has become piss, as hotels are expensive.
Too expensive.
I-can't-buy-shit-if-I-stay-longer-than-a-week expensive.

I told him how long I was planning on staying.
I told him I was PLANNING to buy the ticket.
He suggested a later date so as to co-incide with spring break. Playing with the kids, etc.
I had to almost DRAG this out of him.

I'm out $100 just changing the date on the return ticket, and then I'm out the ability to buy anything at all.
Haha. $100. That's just the fee. Let's not forget the difference in price since I'll be leaving in the midst of Japanese spring break.
I don't even want to think about that return ticket.
I might sell the whole thing, chalk it up to experince and spend it on video games.

I've a good mind to just take what money I'll have, buy a Shinkansen ticket(and other transport) go to Hokkaido, and curse at the sky for 3 days and nights.
That's not a reference or tradition or anything. It's just that I'll have shit for money anyway, no time to so anything, and why bother even greeting someone who'd (not) do this?

I'm at a loss at this point.
I'm angry to to the point that for the first time in days I genuinely crave a cigarette, not just the nicottene.
I'm confused enough that I'm very confused.
I'm broke enough that without that difference/fee the trip becomes piss.

Don't even know what to reply to him with.
Or if I should.

Hotels are insane expensive. Like, a Super 8 level(if you can find something liek that) would cost Hilton price. And don't even THINK about the Hilton.
Fuck, a 'Love Hotel' is like $40 a night or more, and that's the cheapest way. I wouldn't even sleep in one of those. eeeeeEEEEEEW.

YEah, if you know anyone who was planning on or would like to go to Japan, like $700. I'm out $200, but it's better than being out $800...

And I have to get my cat declawed with some of that money, anyone know how much that shit costs?

― nate p. (natepatrin), Thursday, 18 January 2007 22:10 (eighteen years ago)

She's fine. It was some odd ingrown-hair-that-turned-into-an-abscess-oops thing that wasn't really a big deal but the fact that she left me a message that basically said, "Okay, I've decided to go to the emergency room" without mentioning which hospital and then I didn't hear from her for THREE HOURS, during which something happened where not even her cell phone's voicemail was picking up my increasingly frantic calls... you see how I might get anxious.

Well, your little toys were labeled, I wouldn't be so easily flummoxed.

― Lukewarm Watery G. Tornado, Enlarges Christs OrganIsm (The GZeus), Saturday, 20 January 2007 03:05 (eighteen years ago)

Just did more research.
It seems EVERY SINGLE branch of my heritage(that I care for) has been oppressed.
Also been UTTERLY DENIED by all members until myself and my sister.

Wink1er. Always told we're Bavarian on that side. i look at my dad, his family, their behaviors and physical characteristics...They're half Jewish or so. Wink1er is more of an EASTERN European name. They're all dark hairded and kinda short and stocky and really hairy. We all complain and argue alot and we're good at it. I USED TO SEND HALF MY FOOD BACK.
P@skwicz. Also alleged to be Bavarian.
WHAT???? IT TAKES A POLAK TO KEEP THEIR POLAK NAME AND SAY THEY'RE NOT A POLAK. Half of that side is 3 generations out of Norway, though.
Fennell. Alleged to be mostly French Canandian and a liiiiittle Irish.
It's an Irish name, grandfather had red hair until it went shocking white at 30, they were Catholic, he was an alcoholic steel worker and union man.

My family is a mass of stereotypes in denial.
Some live just outside of Hastings and raise pigs(polaks!).
The rest of that clan lived a bit further out on a small corn farm, but they've aged and passed on over time.
They used to serve me pickled watermelon rinds.
WHAT? Is it a Polish thing or a Hastings thing???
They're not TERRIBLE, but they're not GOOD either. They're certainly more insane than I am.

The Irish is out of Canada a couple generations(can you really blame a Catholic Irish family for hiding their heritage in an English Province?) and ended up in St Paul Park, then Newport.
Wink1er. Great(great great?) Grandfather was raised in an orphanage in the 1930s.
Who knows, but he came out of Wisconsin.

― Lukewarm Watery G. Tornado, Enlarges Christs OrganIsm (The GZeus), Saturday, 20 January 2007 03:54 (eighteen years ago)

PICKLED WATERMELON RINDS ARE MEGA SUPER BADASS! THIS IS ABSOLUTELY TRUE.

Discussion of pickled watermelon rinds, of course.

I hate those things. But my grandmother is always giving jars of them to A. because he loves them. She makes them herself. Love her.

― Sara R-C (Sara R-C), Saturday, 20 January 2007 04:25 (eighteen years ago)

What does she do with the watermelon?

Crazy hastings people.. I just EAT THE RIND WHEN I EAT THE MELON.

I dunno, just seems like Pizza Crust Loaf or something...

― Lukewarm Watery G. Tornado, Enlarges Christs OrganIsm (The GZeus), Saturday, 20 January 2007 04:27 (eighteen years ago)

No clue how she does it. She's 87, so I don't bug her to teach me to pickle things or make jam these days (also, the one time we tried to make jam together, I failed). But she always, always has tons of homemade stuff that she made. It's kind of awesome.

All that being said, she's from Cannon Falls, not Hastings.

― Sara R-C (Sara R-C), Saturday, 20 January 2007 05:18 (eighteen years ago)

If only you guys had been there, I'm sure you would have kept a straight face.

Also, after pointing out to Alex "that is the priest," he asked, "what is a priest?!" And you should have heard me trying to cover the question, "Is Jesus real?"

― Sara R-C (Sara R-C), Monday, 22 January 2007 14:54 (eighteen years ago)

I would have answered the first question
"Yes."

Then "A priest is a catholic man who tell people to do a little dance a few times a week, then listens to their problems through a screen door."

"Yes, he was a nice man who died 2010 years ago, and christians believe came back to life after beating up the devil." because my kids won't know much on the subject, so I couldn't say too much funny stuff.

― Lukewarm Watery G. Tornado, I done seen Michael Jackson eat him some babies (The, Monday, 22 January 2007 17:25 (eighteen years ago)

Most of Alex's exposure to crosses comes from the one episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer I let him watch. He scares easily, so I couldn't say "yes, they are to keep vampires away."

It is really complicated to try to explain this stuff to your kids when they have no religious training.

― Sara R-C (Sara R-C), Monday, 22 January 2007 17:51 (eighteen years ago)

Here is what I have discovered in the past day or so: podcasts are dangerous. I listened to one yesterday that was an NPR Science and Health thing, and now I must must must read the book by the woman who lived in Biosphere II for 2 years. Listened to a music one and I must have the Joshua Bell cd Voice of the Violin.

Computers are dangerous to time and money management.

― Sara R-C (Sara R-C), Tuesday, 23 January 2007 17:02 (eighteen years ago)

This is kinda my reason not to get too into podcasts either. (I think of it this way -- I get *more* than enough new music every week to readily fill up my time, plus there's movies to see and books to read and, more importantly, just having a life. At some point you just simply have to call time.)

...I've come to the conclusion that this is the the tolerable place on the internet(ie THIS THREAD ITSELF ALONE) and I've considering taking a shit on ILG and leaving ILX.
Fuckwad mods with vendettas? Check.
Morons with friends in high places? Check.
Insane morons in general? Check.
People angry at you when you agree with them? check.

It always takes me too long to remember that these things are universal. Too human are the failings that piss me off. Too often do people allow themselves to act 10-20 years younger on the internet. Too often I fail to remember that and react with indignace and anger to abuse of 'power' and sarcasm.
These people have taken to following me into perfectly civil threads and proceeding to vomit. Old hat. All stupid kids act the same, ultimately.

I've realised that virtually no one on the internet is over 16 years old. Even old folks get on and most have their wisdom sucked from their minds for the duration.
I find 16 year olds IMMENSELY frustrating little shits in real life, and dislike lacking several 'rank pulls' to reign in the idiocy.

Even the smart ones don't act smart. "If I knew then what I know now..." YOU'D HAVE DONE THE SAME THING. Test it out, go on the internet!

(For some reason that reminds me of when we bought the house we are in now... my mother was like, "you have to take your wedding dress out of my house!" That is my item that I can't part with, but that is of no possible use at this point. Also surprisingly heavy. But not as heavy as ROCKS.)

― Sara R-C (Sara R-C), Tuesday, 23 January 2007 20:17 (eighteen years ago)

Would have been a very stressful wedding if it was. Now dance, granite-wedding-dress bedecked bride. DANCE! Bwahahahahahaha...

― Fleischhutliebe! like a warm, furry meatloaf (Fluffy Bear Hearts Rainbows), Tuesday, 23 January 2007 20:34 (eighteen years ago)

Please please design that dress. It could start a whole new trend (just barely less stupid than upside down Xmas trees).

However, let's never go clothes shopping together.

― Sara R-C (Sara R-C), Tuesday, 23 January 2007 20:39 (eighteen years ago)

Sara, I just saw your Disney Pictures. In "Jul1@ in the Rose Garden at Epcot", she totally reminds me of you.

― Fleischhutliebe! like a warm, furry meatloaf (Fluffy Bear Hearts Rainbows), Tuesday, 23 January 2007 22:16 (eighteen years ago)

I have a photo of me at age 4 and we look scarily alike. So much so that Alex thought the picture was of J. I like to think I wasn't quite as maniacal as she is when I was little, but I'm probably kidding myself. (Mom used to say, "someday I hope you have a daughter just like you... But I never said I wanted to be a doctor AND a race car driver!)

I think we should all retire to Disney World and be cast members. Dan in charge of roller coasters would be awesome. (You can encourage John to go on Space Mountain 10x in a row again).

― Sara R-C (Sara R-C), Tuesday, 23 January 2007 22:23 (eighteen years ago)

WHAT? THAT RULES!! When did this happen???

― Lukewarm Watery G. Tornado; Vampires Eat Christians (The GZeus), Tuesday, 23 January 2007 22:28 (eighteen years ago)

FB, please PLEASE find that report. I promise to dig out the satiric poem that I wrote my senior year in high school, entitled, "Come Live with me and Be My Slave." (THAT was kind of non-PC, huh.)

GZeus, I think the upside down Xmas trees thing was like a 2005/2006 thing.

― Sara R-C (Sara R-C), Tuesday, 23 January 2007 22:39 (eighteen years ago)

I SWEAR at least ONE year my family will celebrate Festivus.

― Lukewarm Watery G. Tornado; Vampires Eat Christians (The GZeus), Tuesday, 23 January 2007 22:51 (eighteen years ago)

ha ha, I just looked at that picture of J. again, FB. J's smile is half-smile, half-snarl - she looks a little nuts. Are you saying that I am a little crazy? (you wouldn't be the first person to say so)

― Sara R-C (Sara R-C), Tuesday, 23 January 2007 22:55 (eighteen years ago)

Walk away and do something relaxing. Like sleeping!

― Sara R-C (Sara R-C), Wednesday, 24 January 2007 16:56 (eighteen years ago)

I say that partly because I decided not to drive to St. Paul today to buy a $200 physiology textbook. Instead, I napped. Maybe I'll buy the damn thing on Friday. Maybe they'll have the lab manual packet in by then. (See, I had a good reason for choosing the nap. REALLY.)

― Sara R-C (Sara R-C), Wednesday, 24 January 2007 16:57 (eighteen years ago)

You "napping" people confuse me.

― John Justen is fucking sick of his username (johnjusten), Wednesday, 24 January 2007 17:04 (eighteen years ago)

It's more that I go there to see if OTHER people are on topic, some new. Maybe they got bored as children often do...NOPE editing my posts to say things I never said, insulting me...
and people that do things like that make me feel hate.

― Lukewarm Watery G. Tornado; Vampires Eat Christians (The GZeus), Wednesday, 24 January 2007 17:07 (eighteen years ago)

Napping is a perfectly legitimate hobby. You should try it; you'd probably enjoy it and it would be great for your complexion.

I prefer being a "sleeping in for extra hours" person, but the kids make that tricky. I'm sure they'll be on the same page with me when they finally become teenagers.

― Sara R-C (Sara R-C), Wednesday, 24 January 2007 17:08 (eighteen years ago)

(I don't know what is wrong with me this morning, but now I feel guilty about my complexion crack. Yours is fine. But napping is still awesome. How can that confuse you? TRY IT.)

Thoroughly disturbing.

This reminds me of the time M4rk Ki3ff3r persuaded me to pull my hair back because he, "couldn't see my face and [I] had a pretty face." I was sort of charmed by that, so I did and he immediately said, "Sara, you have a pimple. I've never seen you with a pimple before!"

― Sara R-C (Sara R-C), Wednesday, 24 January 2007 17:52 (eighteen years ago)

― The Android Cat (Dan Perry), Wednesday, 24 January 2007 19:19 (eighteen years ago)

I love him for his continuing tactlessness. Well, also because he worked at Carbone's with me and saw up close the era when every day I would quit in the middle of my shift and yet not leave and then come back the next day. Good times.

― Sara R-C (Sara R-C), Wednesday, 24 January 2007 19:25 (eighteen years ago)

Yesterday turned out to be the longest day ever. I don't get how I can live in a town that is so cool and still wind up forced to hang out with crazy people and crazy racist people. I really don't.

Sometimes I love it and sometimes it makes me wish I were a recluse.

On the brighter side, I recently saw my favorite prof walking around town and she totally remembered not only me, but that one class in particular and asked after my friend L0u, who had also been in the class.

― Sara R-C (Sara R-C), Thursday, 25 January 2007 19:11 (eighteen years ago)

Of course, when I mentioned this random meeting to L0u, she said, "don't you remember how I used to flirt with her? I made her blush in class once!" I must have been distracted my senior year, because you'd think I would remember that at least a little bit.

― Sara R-C (Sara R-C), Thursday, 25 January 2007 19:16 (eighteen years ago)

I feel you on the "being forced to hang out with crazy people" thing; I would very much like to choose which crazies I spend time with and when, thank you very much.

Also work is making me work. BOO etc.

― The Android Cat (Dan Perry), Thursday, 25 January 2007 20:02 (eighteen years ago)

I mean, seriously, it's not that I don't love crazy people. It is the choice part!

Sorry about your work load, Dan. (Double BOO?)

That explains all my weird dreams, right? Ones where you, FB, are giving me directions in traffic or telling me to go places that I've never heard of, where Dan serenades his wife with Barry Manilow songs, and where John fights bears with his hands. (I'm not kidding, these are all within the past 6 months or so).

I really REALLY wish I could find the baby picture I had of me falling asleep while eating a piece of turkey. It looks for all the world like I am a 14 month old who is smoking a joint.

H34th3r loved that movie; I didn't make it through the whole thing. (I never make it through Brad Pitt films; he's too pretty. I don't like the pretty men!)

Did it devolve into a strange episode of Grizzly Adams? (Did John co-star and I missed it?)

― Sara R-C (Sara R-C), Thursday, 25 January 2007 22:39 (eighteen years ago)

Yes it is. You can tell how it's just a little bit fake around the eyes.

I was just looking through some receipts from last fall and I see that on one from the Chipotle on Grand Ave. in St. Paul, after the heading

Chipotle
BURRITOS & TACOS
WWW.CHIPOTLE.COM

it next reads

"Guacamole-colored Guacamole."

Um... what other color would it be?

Hmmmm, good point. But I've never seen that served in a restaurant.

Did you know that to avoid guacamole turning funny colors, leave an avocado pit in it. Seriously. (And there's your Martha Stewart-esque tip of the day, I guess.)

John, yuck. So I guess you won the fight with the bear, huh.

― Sara R-C (Sara R-C), Friday, 26 January 2007 22:37 (eighteen years ago)

God bless the chemist that made Chipotle's "Guacamole" lose that translucent ivory aspect.

MORE YELLOW #5!

― John Justen is fucking sick of his username (johnjusten), Friday, 26 January 2007 22:39 (eighteen years ago)

To avoid guacamole turning funny colors, the ingredients should contain avacados in the first place.

― John Justen is fucking sick of his username (johnjusten), Friday, 26 January 2007 22:41 (eighteen years ago)

Avocados do oxidize if you leave them exposed to air, John. I wouldn't expect you to know this, living as you do on beer and... well, beer.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 26 January 2007 22:54 (eighteen years ago)

It's convenient and weirdly enjoyable. But not every week.

I tend to eat healthier when I go to Cafe Latte after lab. Salads are awesome. But then I always fall victim to the dessert counter. G.D. chocolate cake.

― Sara R-C (Sara R-C), Friday, 26 January 2007 22:54 (eighteen years ago)

Ned, I took A. out for marginally better Mexican food at a local place this afternoon. I hope you are reassured by that.

I like the food at this place okay, but at one point it was owned by a guy who had some involvement with a local prostitution ring. Further details (like the 12 year old prostitutes) were more disturbing. I didn't go back until it was clear that this guy was gone. (on the run from the law...)

― Sara R-C (Sara R-C), Friday, 26 January 2007 22:57 (eighteen years ago)

C4s3y = younger brother of FB's ex-girlfriend. Basically, during the time period I knew him, he was a weedy, somewhat dim little twerp with a Napolean complex; I cannot imagine him as a police officer. (Actually in all honesty I can't imagine him being older than 13 so that's playing into a lot of my reaction.)

― The Android Cat (Dan Perry), Monday, 29 January 2007 04:56 (eighteen years ago)

I have really cold hands, especially at this time of year, and it will just get worse as it gets colder.

A. actually uses them as a threat to get Al3x moving. As in, "if you don't get dressed, Mommy will put her hands on your back." Surprisingly effective!

I heat up rocks, wrap them in towels and place them under the blankets by my feet. Also, pile those coals up in the back of the stove so they're still hot in the morning. Ironwood burns longer than Pine.

Another chapter of your life, tragically hidden from my view.

Cornbag = fabric with feed corn sewn into it. You heat it up in the microwave for a 2 or 3 minutes and it gets nice and warm; perfect to stick in your bed for your feet, or in your coat if you have to walk outside.

I have a huge thing of feed corn in my office for making these. Seriously! They are supercheap and easy to make. Remind me and I'll sew one up for you.

The "why do you keep books" thread reminded me of a story about A. that might be amused. He grew up without a tv and sort of found his own connection to popular music through school - but he had no MTV or good access to a way to find out about popular music. This is how he wound up thinking that "Hall & Oates" was a band called "Haulin' Oats."

This still cracks me up every time I think about it.

Also, yes - Jungian psychology. Man, I wish I had kept that tract. But really, it was (mostly) mild next to the Jack Chick silliness. Or maybe it just wasn't as specific about what would happen if I played D&D.

― Lukewarm Watery G. Tornado; Less sick than before (The GZeus), Saturday, 3 February 2007 00:12 (eighteen years ago)

Okay, here is the recipe:

Cheese Dip

8 oz. mild cheddar cheese, shredded
8 oz. Swiss cheese, shredded
8 oz. Velveeta, grated
1 pt. Hellmann's Real Mayonnaise
1 Tablespoon horseradish sauce
2 Tablespoons sugar
1 Tablespoon dehydrated onion
large "dash" Tabasco sauce
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic or garlic powder

Mix all ingredients together. Make it the night before you serve it, to give the flavors time to blend. Keeps 3 weeks in airtight container in the refrigerator.

A. says we ate it "on crackers." I'm sure you can use a different mayo; this was probably originally a Hellmann's promotional recipe. IIRC, grating the Velveeta is the hardest part of the recipe, because Velveeta is kind of a pain in the ass.

― Sara R-C (Sara R-C), Saturday, 3 February 2007 00:50 (eighteen years ago)

I grated the Velveeta with a cheese grater, but the fact that it has that weird texture is what makes it a pain to do.

this just in:

it's really fucking cold out.

― M@tt He1g3s0n: oh u mad cuz im stylin on u (Matt Helgeson), Monday, 5 February 2007 16:51 (eighteen years ago)

M@tt, you are right. I know because even J. didn't want to stay outside this morning and try to eat the snow.

(And FB, I sent you a message at myspace; go look.)

― Sara R-C (Sara R-C), Monday, 5 February 2007 17:01 (eighteen years ago)

It took my mom getting sick for either of my parents turning the heat up to happen.
it was too cold to relax.
I didn't know that could happen.
I was seriously going to call people and ask if I could rent a room until it stopped being cold.

― Lukewarm Watery G. Tornado; Less sick than before (The GZeus), Monday, 5 February 2007 18:15 (eighteen years ago)

I couldn't sleep last night because I wasn't very tired and also the end of my nose was freezing. I would have gotten up and read or something, but it was TOO COLD.

Glad to hear that your house at least is a bit warmer!

― Sara R-C (Sara R-C), Monday, 5 February 2007 18:26 (eighteen years ago)

I used to take all of my stuffed animals and some things that weren't stuffed animals (like all of the change banks in the house) so that I had a perfect square (say 36), name them, arrange them as a classroom and teach them about number bases.

Could someone travel back in time and slap my 6-year-old self, please?

No, wait, maybe there is video footage of this, too... that would be priceless and awesome!

Even if no evidence exists, my mind is constructing a pretty cute scenario of that.

― Sara R-C (Sara R-C), Monday, 5 February 2007 23:15 (eighteen years ago)

I used to sit in a giant clump of ferns singing made-up, R&B style songs to Jesus while crying.

I am having a good time picturing this, too. WHY did I not know you then?!

― Sara R-C (Sara R-C), Monday, 5 February 2007 23:32 (eighteen years ago)

"I would have gotten up and read or something, but it was TOO COLD."
That's why I didn't get jack read in Wuthering Heights.
It was TOO COLD to relax!
I had to stay up late watching 'Gaki no Tsukai Ya Arahendeeh' on youtube until I almost passed out in order to sleep.

Problem #2 it's so dry my mother(also sick, as I said, I think) and I have been boiling pots and pots of water to, you know...breath.

― Lukewarm Watery G. Tornado; Less sick than before (The GZeus), Tuesday, 6 February 2007 00:54 (eighteen years ago)

You should definitely use some of that hot water and make yourself some tea. Even if it is decaf black tea, it still warms your hands up just holding it in your hands. (Mmmm, or cocoa! Or a cafe mocha! Or or or...)

I made tea earlier tonight and wound up having to make a second cup for J. It is ridiculous that she loves it, but she does.

Now I'm freezing again so my method is this: 1. fold warm laundry, 2. walk 5 miles on treadmill, 3. take alarmingly hot shower, 4. blow dry hair on HIGH, and then later 5. get in bed under many blankets and take along heatable corn... uh... corn cozy? (Is that better than cornbag? FB has so far been no help in renaming them.)

With any luck I'll pass out before my nose realizes that it has ice crystals hanging from it.

― Sara R-C (Sara R-C), Tuesday, 6 February 2007 02:25 (eighteen years ago)

Tea like crazy all day.
There's a wet towel on the radiator downstairs.
I'm sleeping upstairs in the guest room tonight.

― Lukewarm Watery G. Tornado; Less sick than before (The GZeus), Tuesday, 6 February 2007 02:46 (eighteen years ago)

Corn cozy is much better. Husked Heat? NO! Husked heat 3000!

― Fleischhutliebe! like a warm, furry meatloaf (Fluffy Bear Hearts Rainbows), Tuesday, 6 February 2007 06:07 (eighteen years ago)

"Husked Heat" sounds like a mildly pornographic version of Children of the Corn. "Husked Heat 3000" suggests that it is set in the future.

I can just about imagine the dreams I'm going to have tonight...

OK, so I left a drunken message on one of the threads last night, (other than this one). Anyone seen it?

I could not find that thread.

― Fleischhutliebe! like a warm, furry meatloaf (Fluffy Bear Hearts Rainbows), Tuesday, 6 February 2007 14:44 (eighteen years ago)

Oh my.

No, I never detassled. I'd be surprised if you did, John. Weren't you like me in that you started working for your Dad really young? (I think I was 12 when I started working at Coast to Coast. Pre-liquor store days... the excitement of getting huge boxes of electrical and plumbing supplies to try to sort out without much of a clue what the heck the stuff was... ah, memories.)

Incidentally, you'd think it would be a bit warmer with all the snow coming down. Driving to and from St. Paul tonight is going to be EXCITING.

― Sara R-C (Sara R-C), Tuesday, 6 February 2007 14:49 (eighteen years ago)

I drove a detassling machine for a few weeks. I ran down too much corn. :'-(

― Fleischhutliebe! like a warm, furry meatloaf (Fluffy Bear Hearts Rainbows), Tuesday, 6 February 2007 17:00 (eighteen years ago)

I actually wanted to detassle, but my parents wouldn't let me. While I realized the job would completely suck, it paid better than my Dad did. Plus all those years when I worked for him he forced me to put half of whatever he paid me in savings (half of minimum wage in the mid-80s was not pretty).

I suppose this is why I'm good at saving money now when I need to be, but the fact that I didn't have an option really aggravated me then.

My first job not working for Dad: page at the Hastings Public Library. Strangely enjoyable, plus J34n M0l1n3 learned to say "awesome" from my habit of doing so. (I now believe I picked that up from John, btw.)

Ned, I can see you would have been really helpful to me in the 80s.

The sad fact is that I am still working for them; I have to make all three of the store's checkbooks make sense. It's really boring except for the huge mistakes that the managers occasionally make... the bright side is that 1. I get paid way more than I should for this service and 2. no one tells me what to do with the money.

OH NED IT WAS MUCH "WORSE"

Basically a whole bunch of girls in Sara's sister's class decided their senior year to have a competition to see who could fuck the most guys. They called themselves the Nubby Crew because they were all about the nubby (ie, SEX). They even had a point-scoring system where different guys on the social hierarchy were worth different point values. It was amazing.

Good point. I was standing outside last night at 9:30 pm or so and thinking, "hey, 7 degrees feels WARM."

Lipton is awesome as long as you don't think of it as "tea." It is "beverage", much like Mr. Pibb and "lemon-lime" soda.

Yay, unwanted playdate unexpectedly canceled!

I am considering a nap. Or possibly some tea, because for some reason now I have a craving.

Not Lipton, though. I can't make the mental leap from "tea" to "beverage," when it says on the package that it is supposed to be tea. (However I did grow up drinking cold Nestea in the summers, so that could be undermining my argument here.)

Hey HHS graduates: J3nny 3ck3s is in the opera chorus of the world premiere of The Grapes of Wrath. Info below:

THE GRAPES OF WRATH
Feb 10, 13,15,17, & 18
Ordway Center for the Performing Arts in lovely
downtown St. Paul
Tickets range from about $40-125
www.mnopera.org

How did I hear about this? I got email from J3nny's Mom.

― Sara R-C (Sara R-C), Friday, 9 February 2007 15:47 (eighteen years ago)

Woah awesome! Go and tell her I said hi!

I don't know if I'll make it to the opera (possibly, though) - but I will make sure to pass it on that you say hi. I haven't seen J3nny in years; the last time I ran into her was in the parking lot of Cossetta's in St. Paul a few years ago. She's definitely married and has at least one kid (a little boy, I think), though.

― Sara R-C (Sara R-C), Friday, 9 February 2007 16:05 (eighteen years ago)

I read the book a few years ago and my first thought on hearing about the opera was, "the last scene in the book would be kind of odd to see acted out."

I'm officially retarded.
I left my car running last night.
WHAT?
I came home, went inside, and left it running ALL NIGHT.
Not like I was planning or even hoping to leave again.
$15 down the pisshole.

― Lukewarm Watery G. Tornado; Less sick than before (The GZeus), Saturday, 10 February 2007 13:20 (eighteen years ago)

I hope it was at least outside; CO2 poisoning would be a lot worse than losing $15.

(I hate losing $$$$ in dumb ways, too, though.)

― Sara R-C (Sara R-C), Saturday, 10 February 2007 17:00 (eighteen years ago)

Losing $15, however, doesn't get you HIGH.

Huh, and here I was just thinking you were confusing C02 and N02 in your addled state. (I was right about the addled part anyway.)

Perhaps you should seek a new practioner and a second opinion.

Now... what is my excuse for confusing C0 and C02?

I really should have taken chemistry in high school.

― Sara R-C (Sara R-C), Saturday, 10 February 2007 20:18 (eighteen years ago)

Actually, the problem with exhaus is the cO! no 2 there.
This is be being horrifyingly dorky.

― Lukewarm Watery G. Tornado; Less sick than before (The GZeus), Sunday, 11 February 2007 04:10 (eighteen years ago)

Yes, I realized that earlier in the day (that's why I was pondering why I was confusing the C0 with the C02).

"Horrifyingly dorky" is my middle name now. Because I just spent way too long reading about transport across cell membranes. Only 22 pages left in the chapter. How the hell did I major in this stuff?

It's not bothering me, but then again I am hardened to things like fonts. (Try reading my physiology book, John. I'll show you a headache...)

It sounds like you're not the only one who doesn't like the way it looks, though; does changing the stylesheet help (as others have suggested; honestly I don't even know what that means)? In any case, I don't think this is the final iteration.

Thank you, John. That was unnervingly close to the response I would have expected from 4lex.

― Sara R-C, Wednesday, 21 February 2007 23:20 (eighteen years ago)

John, honest personal opinion asking:
www.wlguitars.com can make me an 8 string with my exact specs for under 3k.
Not buying that green 7 string would free up just about 20% of that price, and frankly, that 7 string wouldn't be playing myself much.
The 8 string would fill my baritone needs and quite possibly eliminate guitarist number two(with alot of finger style practice 3 string chorded arpeggios and a thumping bassline).

What do you think I should do? Yes I will answer more questions. Yes, email is fine.

Also, swords VS rapists=porno?

― Windy G Moisture, Wednesday, 21 February 2007 23:32 (eighteen years ago)

That ~3k price includes custom fit hardshell.

― Windy G Moisture, Wednesday, 21 February 2007 23:35 (eighteen years ago)

Why are they so afraid of saying that the HPV vaccine is for HPV?

The nicottene losenges I was taking don't prevent cancer. They prevent smoking. Smoking leads to cancer.

"OH NOES! THIS MAKES KIDS NO BE SKARD OF FUXXORS!"

Chemotherapy was contravertial, too. The first thing it treated: Syphillus.

I'm shocked that they're talking of it being manditory. It's not airborne, it's not IMMEDIATLY life threatening. Once you are infected, you can prevent it being spread. Like, don't fuck my sister then fuck someone else...

Make it available and cheap. I hate mandatory anything, especially when it's at cost to you and puts you at any amount of risk. All vaccines put you at risk. If not of getting the original viris, getting something similar...

― Windy G Moisture, Wednesday, 21 February 2007 23:50 (eighteen years ago)

Yes, but the question with vaccines is a public health question: what is the bigger threat in populations. HPV is different than, say, polio in that it is not as easily communicable.

The trouble is that, sure, it's easy to not spread it if you don't have sex with someone else once infected, but there are two problems there: 1. it's one of those STDs that is widespread, in part because it presents very subtly and 2. good luck convincing people to be totally monogamous from x point onward.

― Sara R-C, Thursday, 22 February 2007 00:01 (eighteen years ago)

I'm for most people getting it.
I'm just against being forced...
I mean, give some incentive, make it free, SOMETHING, but don't make it MANDATORY....

― Windy G Moisture, Thursday, 22 February 2007 01:45 (eighteen years ago)

Minnesota has a philosophical exemption statue for vaccinations, so they aren't exactly mandatory.

Have you ever seen the statistics on those kids who make abstinence pledges? They do wait longer to have sex, but they often don't wait until they are married and they are far less likely to use birth control methods, including barrier methods. If a state doesn't make the HPV vaccine "mandatory," those are the kids who also aren't likely to get the vaccine.

I'm not necessarily arguing that the vaccine should be added to the "mandatory" schedule (which, if you don't have kids, has had a lot of additions since we were kids). I'm just throwing out some thoughts.

(Was HSTNGS thread always this serious? Who is going to help me get through biomedical ethics next term? Important questions to consider.)

― Sara R-C, Thursday, 22 February 2007 02:30 (eighteen years ago)

Kids who take abstainance pledges-....nah I'm not gonna make that joke.
If you knew Woodbury better I'd tell it.
Also, I'm not big on mandatory vaccinations period.
Especially the amount we give kids at that age.

reminds me of the flu shot. the number of people who are exposed and don't get it is probably equal to the number of people who get a cold from the shot....

― Windy G Moisture, Thursday, 22 February 2007 04:32 (eighteen years ago)

I don't do flu shots for several reasons (despite having had a horrible flu while pregnant with 4l3x; I would have done it with J. except that timing-wise it didn't work out). The main thing is that, for most of us, the flu isn't likely to be life-threatening (unless it is the pandemic strain they're always going on about, I guess). The other thing is that flu vaccines are made using an educated guess about what the antigen shift is going to be and they don't always guess right. I wouldn't worry about getting a cold from the shot any more than I'd worry about getting a cold from sending my kids to school.

Other stuff that is vaccinated for I take more seriously. Tetanus is a seriously unpleasant way to die, it's really hard to treat, and it's really easy to prevent by getting the vaccine every decade (as much as that one sucks because I just had it last year and it Totally Does Suck). Measles is less serious, although it can cause sterility in boys. Haemophilus B (which I don't even know if I'm spelling right) can have meningitis as a complication. The only one we were on the fence about was the chicken pox vaccine, but after it was out a few years (and seeing a friend get chicken pox during her second pregnancy - she caught it from her older son), we did that one, too. Weighing benefits versus risks, the vaccines won.

John - fluids, fluids, fluids (+ vitamin C). And not caffeine or alcohol; they'll dehydrate you worse. Also, I kind of worship ibuprofen.

No wigs needed. Ever kid wants a mom with hair like that! AT PTA MEETINGS!

This fake Fish is better than real fish(John agrees with me because it doesn't taste much like fish...don't you hate fish?).

I kinda hope the chick that hit on me at Borders wasn't underaged. Because I would have sex with her.

Hey, my hair does not look like that! (Yet, anyway.)

It would be a lot scarier if you were running around chasing me with a knife. Not that I'm suggesting you do this (let me be clear; do NOT do this); I'm just saying that yelling "GAAAAHHHH" online is still pretty tame.

Should I be worried that J. is carrying around a doll's hand, by the way? (JUST the hand?) It is hard to explain that to the other mothers. There's only so many, "it's all very 'Chucky' at our house," jokes I can make.

― Sara R-C, Friday, 23 February 2007 17:57 (eighteen years ago)

TELL ME WHAT TO DO ON A DAYE LIKE THING.
Some chick hit on me at Borders yesterday.
I have a number.
I have no idea what to do with it.

I was told by a friend who is now offline I should call as soon as possible, but I havn't the slightest idea of what to do.

Crazy person as I am, I'm not that interesting socially. I read and drink tea for fun.I'm like an old man...
I think I'm gonna say that.

Shit.

I could probably stare down the battel of Mike's 45 and react by sweating and wait for a chance to dodge and fight if that worked. However, this is scary to me. Well, this and flies, maggots, roaches, and centipedes.

What to do on a date: you could go to a movie and then you'd have something to talk about in common (especially if you hated the movie; there's nothing like ripping something apart to bring people together).

I'm trying to think what else people do on "dates." I'm too old to remember.

― Sara R-C, Friday, 23 February 2007 20:06 (eighteen years ago)

I'm a 25 year old old man.
"mmm...sammich and tea... I'm gonna watch Law and Order."

― Windy G Moisture, Friday, 23 February 2007 20:11 (eighteen years ago)

Hey, that sounds familiar (maybe not the watching Law & Order part). Lots of people enjoy staying in and doing exactly that (even ones who are not old, like me - and I have a decade on you, young man).

Still, if you're thinking of going on a date, well, you should go out. You could go see a show (hard to talk, though, which could be good or bad, depending on how the date is going). Or go out somewhere for a sandwich and tea?

I'm so the wrong person to be giving advice; I've been married forever. Going out anywhere without the kids is an engineering project.

Before I forget - have great weekends, all - and watch out for snowstorms and bad road conditions. People keep talking about them and referencing Saturday, so I suppose there could be something to it.

Also, someone keep FB from his computer after he's been out for the evening.

― Sara R-C, Friday, 23 February 2007 22:14 (eighteen years ago)

Well that was weird.
Moderately emotionally disturbed girl, not that I can talk. That's why I didn't leave.
She smokes(Marb Reds...bleh) which is a meh point to me, uneless that's why my stomach hurts(get to that later).
Plan to meet at Borders and talk. Get there, find out she's 19. Well, that's legal. All else is like... can I deal and do I want to. She's also apparantly still in H.S. Personality kinda shows that.. Also, she apparantly smokes marijuana and wants to move to L.A.
She decides a movie would be good. Ok. So we go to roseville for that. She hates that theatre I get explained there(long story I'm not going to repeat here).
Ok. Grab a pizza and hang at her place? umm... Ok.
Long and the short from there: Eat pizza, watch 40 Year Old Virgin(I'd never seen it), and basically make-out until I left about 1hr ago.

She got the idea that we were steady dates like...instantly('go out' generally means GO ON A DATE first, right?), and she's a dreamer still. Also, me planning a move out of the country ASAP and her WANTING to live in LA and...do movie makeup....

I think I'll see how things progress of the next couple weeks...

Also, I tried hard not to think about it, but I did, for obvious reasons: she has HPV.
There are worms in that can...

She actually scares me.

I fear female power(on a respect level) and when that is out of control, that scares me.

She's afraid of zombies. You can't SAY zombies around her because she thinks it will happen.
That's scary.

Hey, there was a Triceratops in there!

Ok, here's my plan, which is both awesome, stupid, and somewhat safe:
1. She will eventually call me, because she is the crazy.
2. I say "To be honest while alot of that day was fun, most of it was confusing and scary. I really went along with it because I thought I'd feel guilty for not doing it and didn't know what was going on. if you want to be friends I suppose that would be cool, you could call me some time, but that's it."
3. If she freaks on me, I can hang up and turn my phone off.
4. I don't go to the Borders on the Midway until I'm back from Japan.
5. Maybe grow a beard.

There was a show on last night that was about dragons. On the Discovery Channel or something.
To sum it up it was an announcer blathering about how every culture has dragons and the stories are similar and people theorising why/how they invented them.
If I did what I want to, which is edit out everything but the word Dragons and maybe "the dragons" it would still be 20 minutes long.
It ruled.

My suggestion is a lot simpler. And you can always use, "well, I'm moving to Japan shortly" as a failsafe backup explanation. However, it's been about a hundred years since I broke up with anybody and I wasn't very good at it, so possibly my advice sucks.

I am supposed to be studying physiology right now. Watching stuff about dragons sounds more fun.

You could say what I'm saying on the phone! I'm just thinking this, "most of it was confusing and scary. I really went along with it because I thought I'd feel guilty for not doing it and didn't know what was going on." is more likely to be upset her. (I'm basing this on my recent, extensive experience dealing with crazy people. The less said, the better.)

― Sara R-C, Sunday, 25 February 2007 23:21 (eighteen years ago)

You're right...
I'm socially BLEHNG.
However, I'm physically awesome.

― Sara R-C, Sunday, 25 February 2007 23:54 (eighteen years ago)

HAHA!.
Meh. I need to focus on my skills and ignore my weaknesses which I cannot change.

I can act socially skillful
I can believe I'm on the level
but I always end up bubmbling and backpedaling
it eventually pours out at the bottom of the barell
in the end my everyone knows I'm inadequate but skillful

Me So Crazy.

My cluelessness knows no bounds, apparently.

Just remember, I grew up with a mother who seriously made Chef Boyardee pizza for dinner, adding her own ground hamburger as a topping. I can't think of a more repulsive meal. (That was not a challenge, btw.)

Does that brand even exist anymore? If so, I'm sure mom is still making the pizza. I can wangle you a dinner invitation over there, but I'm so not going. (Would pay good money to be a fly on the wall, however.)

― Sara R-C, Tuesday, 27 February 2007 04:34 (eighteen years ago)

You hurt me deep in the heart, Sara. How could you abandon the Chef like this, after all he gave you in your young years?

― John Justen, Tuesday, 27 February 2007 04:43 (eighteen years ago)

I didn't realize you were so sensitive, John. I'm sorry to say that I had to break up with the Chef after a bad experience with hearburn and bad taste. Campbell's Spaghetti-Os. I told them, "your sweet nature darling, is too hard to swallow; I've made my decision - I'm leaving tomorrow..." Well, we all know the tune.

4lex is home sick for the 3rd day in a row. I'm not giving him ibuprofen again; he gets to feeling good and then fights with his sister. He's easier to deal with when he's sick.

― Sara R-C, Wednesday, 28 February 2007 21:43 (eighteen years ago)

She's good! She's working for a megachurch and doing some commercial acting.

― HI DERE, Wednesday, 28 February 2007 21:49 (eighteen years ago)

Working for a megachurch... Sudden vivid memory of her telling me that "Sarah" spelled with the "h" meant "princess," but "Sara" - without the "h" - meant "witch..." lol. (But she never tried to tell me that D&D was evil or that I should stay away from Jungian psychology, so that's a relief).

Commercial acting - as in, in advertising? (I would totally watch some actual ads if I thought I'd see someone I knew in them. As it is, the only ads I ever see are for Mac computing stuff, because A. is obsessed.)

― Sara R-C, Wednesday, 28 February 2007 21:54 (eighteen years ago)

Sara doesn't mean 'witch' as I recall. It means SOMETHING, but...
My parents should have names me Harley. Then my name would be cool (Harley, David's Son) as opposed to "Well, Aaron was taken, since your cousin was born first."
They had considered all three of those.

― Windy G Moisture, Wednesday, 28 February 2007 22:05 (eighteen years ago)

"SARA" MEANS "PRINCESS" NO MATTER HOW YOU SPELL IT

I'm not saying it's appropriate; I'm just saying.

Naming kids is really hard, GZeus. Especially since all the Dads I know hate huge numbers of names for goofy reasons. A friend's husband refused to consider "Jason" because he had once known a dog with that name that he didn't like.

Sarai/Saray is what she means, I think, but...http://www.behindthename.com/php/view.php?name=sarai
Contentious at best.

She's on cocaine. Cocaine called christ.

― Windy G Moisture, Wednesday, 28 February 2007 22:08 (eighteen years ago)

I'm fine with most names.
Thing is I like the idea of naming kids things weird for everyone's entertainment, and to toughen them up.(I wouldn't tolerate anyone teasing them, so I'm honestly fine with that. My parents never believed me, and I lived through it..)
I'm considering naming my first son Daisei which is written the same as a common family name 'Ounishi.' So his name would look all confusing and easily mispronounced. Why? because it's made up of the characters Big and West. Big West is the best nickname EVER.
But then I'd name a daughter Ayumi written 'love' 'dream' and 'see.' And with all luck she'd end up a lesbian tomboy because I am Costanza.

― Windy G Moisture, Wednesday, 28 February 2007 22:15 (eighteen years ago)

My kids already have the crazy long last name to deal with; that was probably enough.

Interesting name choices, there. I suspect a boy named "Daisei" might get beaten up (people are inevitably going to nickname him "Daisy," regardless of how it is really pronounced).

My parents picked names that we "wouldn't get nicknames" from. They didn't anticipate "Sare-Bear," or "Q," apparently. (Or what my younger siblings used to call me, "Ra-ra" and "Sow-ee.")

S4r4h Stu might be crazy religious, but she's pretty fun and funny. I don't think I ever ran into super-Christians in high school that I didn't like. (Um, okay, N4t4li3 Gr0tj0hn kind of freaked me out. But I didn't know her well!)

Weeze's name is al3x4and3r d4av1d 5c0tt. 3 first names.
Also, unless I change my name to a japanese one BEFORE I emigrate I CANNOT have one in japan. As a result, they WILL have 2 'last' names. Why? because my mother would probably contest my petition for a name change.

― Windy G Moisture, Wednesday, 28 February 2007 23:13 (eighteen years ago)

At this point, can your mother actually do that, given your age and all?

― John Justen, Wednesday, 28 February 2007 23:15 (eighteen years ago)

"Backwards" would just cause people to ask questions. (Which could be good or bad...)

― Ned Raggett, Thursday, 1 March 2007 13:47 (eighteen years ago)

Is that why you keep your hair long? (Do you wear sandals all the time? Tell us more, Ned.)

― Sara R-C, Thursday, 1 March 2007 13:53 (eighteen years ago)

Seeing as Ned is a big hippy, of course he always wears sandals.

John, for your birthday you should go do this:

I just like to think of the second picture as the cast's shame-filled response to the crotch-grabbing incident.

I want to know what the hell is going on with the train engineer outfit. How debaucherous can you be in that sort of clothing?

Not to mention "shoveling coal into the furnace". OK, that's not actually a euphemism for anything.

Is Dan shoveling coal into the furnace? Whatever he's doing, he's doing it very fast, and with a scepter poking out of his back.

Okay, I sent a very easy and yummy recipe to one of the few people I still talk to from my doomed first year of college. Here is the message I got back:

"That doesn't sound like healthy food, so I'm thinking that it's probably not what's sold in stores. I may have to make some as soon as I can find some peanut butter."

Is it me, or are there some strange things about that?

― Sara R-C, Thursday, 1 March 2007 16:57 (eighteen years ago)

I'd like to thank you all for your kind wishes, and let you know that I am having a wheelalapalooza funsplat mega-ultra AT WORK IN A FUCKING BLIZZARD birthday.

I hate weather. all of it.

Weather is teh suck. Well, unless it is warm and sunny but not too humid or hot.

If the roads get too bad are you going to sleep on the floor of your store?

Re: the pictures, ROFL at A. thinking Sara doesn't know what I look like! Also my awesome engineer hat got taken away by opening night so I looked more like a random disheveled blue-collar dude and less like a super-sexy master of trains.

Me: See, here's Dan
A: No, isn't he this guy?
Me: No, he's this other guy grabbing his crotch.
A: I think you're wrong.
Me: YOU'VE ONLY MET HIM ONCE!

I liked where FB said everyone looked the same in the blurry pictures. (Yes, I often confuse Dan for a tall blonde woman in fishnet stocking.)

Did I tell you that after the clambake, Austin told me that he "thought you'd all be taller?"
(Hello, tall person, everybody looks very tall to short people!)

― Sara R-C, Thursday, 1 March 2007 18:58 (eighteen years ago)

How tall was he expecting me to be?

― John Justen, Thursday, 1 March 2007 19:01 (eighteen years ago)

"That Justen fellow sounds like some sort of circus person, I'm guessing 7 foot at least."

― John Justen, Thursday, 1 March 2007 19:03 (eighteen years ago)

I don't know! I was completely baffled by that comment. I don't think I ever said, "I only hung out with giantly tall people" to him. I might have said you were "tall," but you ARE tall compared to me. I can't see the top of your head unless I'm standing on (probably) two steps. Anyone over 5'5" or so seems tall.

― Sara R-C, Thursday, 1 March 2007 19:05 (eighteen years ago)

That Justen fellow sounds like some sort of circus person

Well that's accurate as far as it goes.

― Sara R-C, Thursday, 1 March 2007 19:06 (eighteen years ago)

How tall is he, again?

― John Justen, Thursday, 1 March 2007 19:06 (eighteen years ago)

6 foot 2 or something. I don't know; the height differential is ridiculous. (Especially if you look and realize his height is all in his waist and what little I have is in my legs. Our legs are almost the same length!)

― Sara R-C, Thursday, 1 March 2007 19:10 (eighteen years ago)

Oh I see, work download speed prevented me from seeing it as moving gif.

I hate him because he drowns kittens for sport. Sara hates him because he has palsy.

― Fluffy Bear Hearts Rainbows, Thursday, 1 March 2007 19:18 (eighteen years ago)

No, I hate him because he reminds me of Jim Carey. (Three flights to get to Japan in 1996 and two of them showed "Ace Ventura: Pet Detective" as the in-flight film.)

― Sara R-C, Thursday, 1 March 2007 19:21 (eighteen years ago)

Too late; now I have to make up another drink. Sigh.

Equal parts Sambuca, Tequila, and Pomegranite Juice.

― Sara R-C, Thursday, 1 March 2007 21:29 (eighteen years ago)

Please tell me that you don't watch LOST in the bedroom.

I like that I'm skimming through that and on the first pass Dan reveals that he thinks he is short. You're tall to me, dude!

Well, I've made my initial reservation for my hotel room in Kyoto. 186USD for 8 days. Room with a bed and a TV. Fuckin' A'.
I looked at the prices of the rail pass.
http://www.japanrailpass.net/eng/en003.html
I was looking at doing the 7 day one originally and then noticed that it's only 50% the cost of the 21-day one.
So i'm gonna go to one of the travel agencies in Minneapolis this week and get the 21-day one and never worry about transportation(FUCK YOU NIGHT BUS/MCFLY!!!).
Wait...anyone willing to exchange me paying for drinks/food at the Triple Rock for assistance in finding my way around Minneapolis? I'm seriously terrified of the prospect of that.

Last chance to reserve souveniers! Everything short of soiled clothing. I'm not even going within 50 yards of a Burasera(BraSeller).

I don't know anything about the typical price of lodging in Japan, but that seems almost insanely cheap!

Dan I. - I'm totally with you. I can't persuade a single person I know to move to Hawaii, though. Jerks. But I'm cold way too much of the time here and I have to wrap myself up like some kind of ridiculous mummy to get to sleep for most of the year.

Calm down, have a drink (plenty of new ones left to choose from!), no need to let internet interactions bother you... (but sorry to hear about frustrations).

My dad uses that method to hide the fact that he has any left.

This seems to be pretty common, but apparently my Dad is part of the older generation of "I must cling to my last remaining hair at all costs." Actually, he's not any balder than he has been for years, but it's fun to give him a hard time about it because he's been emplying Rogaine since I was in high school to little effect.

I expressed my opinion on how once should mic instruments and why.
He said it was wrong, (I'm not sure how many times he pedaled back and forth over whether I was wrong or correct, but stilll wrong because me being wrong on some level makes him more right) I said i disagreed, and repeated why.
he did it again.
I said "I'd like to agree to disagree and leave it at that."

I won't start with my, "he couldn't be gay; I wasn't attracted to him at all" silliness. (Oh wait I just did...)

Daiju visited the master Baso in China. Baso asked: "What do you seek?"

"Enlightenment," replied Daiju.

"You have your own treasure house. Why do you search outside?" Baso asked.

Daiju inquired: "Where is my treasure house?"

Baso answered: "What you are asking is your treasure house."

Daiju was enlightened! Ever after he urged his friends: "Open your own tresure house and use those treasures."

"Daiju was enlightened! Ever after he urged his friends: "Open your own tresure house and use those treasures." "
I wanted that to say "Daiju punched the master in the face and left. What a jackass."

― Windy G Moisture, Tuesday, 6 March 2007 17:10 (eighteen years ago)

And I thought I had a cynical side.

― Sara R-C, Tuesday, 6 March 2007 17:14 (eighteen years ago)

Actually I don't know why I wanted it to say that, or who the jackass is/was. I just like the way it sounds.

I've never seen a poem with a benzene reference in it before!

― Sara R-C, Wednesday, 7 March 2007 14:00 (eighteen years ago)

Probably it should be "tried to get your little sister to drink benzene," though, since it's a liquid and all. (Sorry, that thought has been nagging at me for, like, an hour now...)

― Sara R-C, Wednesday, 7 March 2007 15:35 (eighteen years ago)

I did that intentionally. That;s why I used 'try.'

LOL, I love that.

I was just thinking about you as a 6 year old, teaching your stuffed animals about number bases (sorry, I can't forget that image). I was thinking that because I was desperately trying to figure out my homework. You have to use logarithms in the Nernst equation and I couldn't for the life of me remember the order of operations or what the hell to do first. (Textbook explanation to the rescue! But you can imagine how annoying it was to think that a 6 year old understood math better than me...)

Yes, but I don't remember why. Where is it?

― John Justen, Thursday, 8 March 2007 19:12 (eighteen years ago)

On Selby, I think near the Fairview intersection. (If the directions I've been given are right).

I'm supposed to meet friends there tonight after class. Just wanted to know if anyone had brilliant dinner suggestions.

― Sara R-C, Thursday, 8 March 2007 19:15 (eighteen years ago)

Yay! Weekend!!!! Extra happy because the sun actually feels warm. So exciting!

(Apparently J. thinks it is great, too, because she asked if today would be a good day to get out the kiddie pool and fill it with water. That may have to wait a few more months.)

i hate at a place called puerto azul....but this place was in 7 corners in mpls, maybe it moved.

the place i went to was good, carribean food.

― M@tt He1ges0n, Friday, 9 March 2007 23:38 (eighteen years ago)

Yay weekend!

Thanks M@tt. This was also Carribean food, very enjoyable - probably the restaurant just changed locations. (?) Highly recommend the coconut cheesecake flan for dessert (at least that's what I think it was - omg, sooooo rich and yummy.)

― Sara R-C, Friday, 9 March 2007 23:44 (eighteen years ago)

I hope to be at the Entry tomorrow, but there are deciding factors.
It may be the closest to a farewell party for me, other than what's likely awaiting me at Japanese home.

Nah, I depart on the 21st at 3pm.
I just need tons of time to prepare. I suck at preparation.

― Windy G Moisture, Saturday, 10 March 2007 19:52 (eighteen years ago)

I knew it was the 12th or the 21st... just couldn't remember which. Good luck with your packing. I hate that part of travel myself.

― Sara R-C, Saturday, 10 March 2007 21:31 (eighteen years ago)

It's kinda easy for me, but mostly because my mom helped me go buy clothes that didn't need to be ironed or hidden from sophisticated society(I WILL be working for some of my lodging, after all).
OH that reminds me! I found two pair of Corderoy(sic) pants. BEST FITTING PANTS EVER.
Just tryingthem on made me want to dance! M@tt can attest to why that may not be a good idea, but what I'm saying is that wearing those pants is akin to hearing Maps. "oooOO! that's NICE!...It's doing something to...my BODY!"

Is it underhanded to thank people for friend requests in hopes it will bring in more?

Dan, I just encouraged my friend C0ry to step up and take over the props table for the production of Evita she's been doing construction work for. I mentioned your whole story about the rolls that got eaten during Great Expectations. Someone (not C0ry) in this production seems to think that it's a fine idea to let the actors carry their props around and keep them wherever and not have places for them on a props table. I was like, "no, don't do that - and make sure the check the table before every rehearsal and show."

― Sara R-C, Tuesday, 13 March 2007 18:27 (eighteen years ago)

I have experienced definitive proof that I really don't cause the majority of problems with me on the nets.

I was sitting with a friend in another friend's Cafe'. Sitting talking, me dominating the conversation with en endless stream of bullshit, sometimes relevant. The usual.
After being there for over an hour myself, and almost exactly one hour at the same time, some guy I didn't even notice and HAVE NEVER SEEN BEFORE IN MY LIFE walks up to me and says, "Excuse me, sir, but I've been sitting here for the past 10 minutes trying to figure out how to tell you how you've been ruining my food in this fine establishment, but then I realised you have to live with yourself, so I'm gonna leave."
I've paraphrased a bit, but only a bit.
THREE PEOPLE then looked at me, just as shocked, and said things to the effect of "What was that about?"
"I was gonna ask you!" was my reply.

My only guess is my voice was too loud. However, I eat there about twice a week, I have several aquaintences who do the same, and this is nothing new, 3 months, no complaints. one of the "What the hell was that?"s came from one of those people.
I've talked with strangers there, no complaints.

This guy looked like every stereotype of what I would call "Sardonic Angry Indie Fuckwad #3."
Carefully mussed hair, carefully trimmed 'unkempt' beard, semi-tight black pseudo-politcal t-shirt, tight black jeans, 15lbs overweight, a close-talker from listening to too much shitty musicloud in their car/headphones, hoping someone will ask them about it.
OK, I inferred that lat part's reason...
In any case, he was a jackoff, and this proves that my attitude repels people I don't want anything to do with, and gains me the friendship of people whose friendship I want.
Both in extremes, apparantly.

The thing that I find the most funny is how rehearsed his little speech was.

So, my theories as to what his problem was:
I was too loud. I'm aware I can unknowinly get a big high in volume, and will attempt to reign it in if asked.

My topics somehow bothered him. I think I was talking about just random stuff. Anime, movie quotes, hot chicks, blah blah blah. I haven't hung out with that friend in a while, so It was pretty random. No idea what could have offended him.

He took my jokes seriously, and serious comments as jokes. Everyone I've met that I don't want to talk to does this. My parents included. They also never ask for clarification.

I was dressed like I had more money than him and he took me as a rich asshole invading his nice little getaway. Ummm...No. Also, I didn't tell off the church group for talking about...church shit last Thursday. Granted it wasn't hard to ignore, as they were probably quieter than I alone was, and were a group of six.

The confirmation that it's Jackasses that instantly dislike me made me feel good, and only the first theory is something I feel the need to really work on.

Overall, NOTHING could have ruined the high I've been riding on since I got a PERSONAL THANK YOU FROM THE GUITARIST IN ONE OF MY FAVORITE BANDS!!! People I genuinely admire the skills of can still give me a 'starstruck' feeling.
I've met really famous people. Seeing them in 3D is a bit jarring, but they're just people.
People I admire intimidate me because their opinions will matter to me, on some level, and I don't know them well enough to know how to act around them.

― Windy G Moisture, Wednesday, 14 March 2007 04:46 (eighteen years ago)

So the fact that someone walked up to you in real life and told you you suck proves that you're not the problem?

― Dan I., Wednesday, 14 March 2007 07:00 (eighteen years ago)

Ah, sorry, I didn't want to be antagonistic. I shouldn't post when I'm tired and frustrated like right now.
Anyone ever noticed how many deadlines fall on March 15 in this world?

― Dan I., Wednesday, 14 March 2007 07:10 (eighteen years ago)

Hey. This that is Dan Perry:

How about the fact that NO ONE ELSE HAD ANY IDEA WHAT HIS PROBLEM WAS AND LIKES ME THERE.
How about the fact that your problems with me started because you THOUGHT I WAS TALKING TO YOU AND WASN'T and when I told you that I didn't know who you were, you got even more angry, despite the fact that like most people on ILX you changed your name often.

There are maybe 3 people in the world I'd punch in the face if I met them.
I'm glad you live in Boston.

You're the only ONLY person who's ever made me angry enough that I wanted to use a racial slur just to make them feel bad. I haven't, but I briefly felt that way.
It's just never worth it.

If this isn't Dan perry: DON'T SKIM LONG POSTS.

― Windy G Moisture, Wednesday, 14 March 2007 07:11 (eighteen years ago)

Also, everyone offered me encouragement

― Windy G Moisture, Wednesday, 14 March 2007 07:14 (eighteen years ago)

I'm not Dan Perry! I bet he hates me though after all the stupid shit I've said on ILX with the same first name.

― Dan I., Wednesday, 14 March 2007 07:26 (eighteen years ago)

I live in MN by the way, so if you're still looking for someone to punch HI DERE I guess

― Sara R-C, Wednesday, 14 March 2007 12:46 (eighteen years ago)

Whoa. GZeus, I think you should leave this board. If you can't contain your reactions, and if you're going to start writing about hitting my friends and using racial epitaphs, then you need to find another place to express yourself.

― Fluffy Bear Hearts Rainbows, Wednesday, 14 March 2007 14:07 (eighteen years ago)

Sorry for the quick misdirected anger　I relseased last night. I didn't expect such behavior of even HIDERE. I just didn't expect a stranger to come in and act exactly how this humanoid had.
Now I felt as though MY sanctuary had been invaded.
"Kind of undercutting your point, there GZeus... AHEM."
I was attemptin to express the degree to which the number of times he's insulted me(this one WOULD HAVE been the straw the broke the camel's back). I would never say such a thing.
I once briefly tried to figure out would be the word equivalent to a punch in the face. That was the closest thing and I thought "Yeah, but it's WORSE and never worth it."

That was the first time since I thought of that I'd wanted to punch someone in the face and didn't have the ability.
Wouldn't do anyway, probably(a criminal record's not good for those who want to emigrate).

And yes, I got the idea from Michael Richards "Wow, he must have been really mad. Guess he wanted to hurt their feelings alot. What a moron." He accomplished his goal. it was a fucking stupid idea.

I never said I WOULD. Tell me HONESTLY that you've never thought something you know you'd never say.
Hm?
Try it.

Also, once somone tells me I'm worthless and should die, I don't feel any need to be nice to them.
I realise my reaction was out-of-line.
I could (but don't have that kind of time, I'm preparing for a trip) make list of the insults, rude comments, unsolicited criticism, sardonic backhanded crap, etc. that culminated with a completely unwarranted CALL FOR MY DEATH on this thread by Daniel Perry, whom up to that point I doubt I'd said one word to.
He hasn't stopped.
I HAVE NEVER RESPONDED SINCE THEN.
This holier-than-thou attitude and the idea "I don't like you, so you're worthless" is the same thing I got from that guy in the cafe'.
Neither person had ever had a conversation with me. Neither had ever spoken to me. Neither had any reason to think they had proper information to form any sort of opinion on me.
For one to say "..you have to live with yourself" suggesting that's a bad thing and another to say "you're a worthless waste of air" suggesting that I DIE... Well neither can be said to make me feel good.
The fact that this actually hurt my feelings on a fundamental level(long ass story as to why) and
angered me viscerally as a result is another reason that would come to mind. "What's the only thing that could hurt this bully's feelings? ....yeah but that's a horrible idea...FUCK!"
I'm not trying to justify my going off here. Just trying to explain it a bit.

If an asshole told you to die, then followed you around insulting you, and happened to be of ANY ethnic group, even your own,, whatever word is (in)appropriate wouldn't flash through your head?
I came closer to saying it(I voiced the thought of thinking about maybe almost saying it but not doing it because it would be a terrible idea to seriously consider........) that some may have, but I've still never said it. And never would.
I wouldnt even tell someone to die, because that's an insanely unbalanced and terrible thing to do.

Again, I'm sorry for this event. It was uncalled for and waaay out-of line, but I don't take well to unprovoked attacks by total strangers.
If I had been in a worse mood, I would have punched that guy in the cafe out cold.

I understand you've known Dan longer, but I also hope you told him it's not nice to call for the death of people back when that happened.

Thsi whole incident has left ne nauseous. I'm gonn take a tums.

― Windy G Moisture, Wednesday, 14 March 2007 15:10 (eighteen years ago)

Dude, I could not possibly care less about you. I don't follow you around; you follow my friends around. I have perhaps spoken to you twice since that altercation, which YOU escalated because you are crazy.

Fuck off.

(Dan, I tried to send you an email, but my email hates me right now. So I sent a note via myspace, but I did it really incompetently. I shouldn't be allowed near technology. Anyway, this will make more sense when you get the message. Messages. Whatever.)

Now, I have a REALLY IMPORTANT Hastings related question. Does anyone remember whether the lame hold music that my parents had in their phone system was a bizarre, tinny (computerized) version of Fur Elise? I heard something similar last night and was like, well THAT sounds familiar.

― Sara R-C, Wednesday, 14 March 2007 16:07 (eighteen years ago)

(The killfile script is really, really awesome for making it that much easier to ignore people who baldly make up shit about you because they are crazy, BTW.)

GZeus, I'm not sure if you really care or not, but I'm thinking that you're within inches of getting banned from the board. People have been banned for less in the past, and posting that you wanted to use a racial slur but controlled yourself isn't really much better than blurting it out. In fact, it carries the same exact nastiness, it just saves you some accountability/gives you some deniability.

― John Justen, Wednesday, 14 March 2007 16:29 (eighteen years ago)

I know it's not much better.
But it's on the same level as saying you want someone to die.
Again, if you've never thought it, let me know.

I know I might get banned.
Note that Three times AFTER I'VE APOLOGISED he's antagonized me.

Not much of an apology, admittedly, but he doesn't deserve much, in my experience.

"I've spoken to yyou aybe twice..."
Yep. That and the altercation which you started for no apparant reason add up to make a decent list.
Never said it was very long.
"You follow my friends around"
They can't be other people's friends? How far will you narcissistic solipsism go? I don't say anything to you, you say something to me. "Who's that? Oh well. I'll reply to the person I was talking to" you take that reply as an insult towards YOU. I then ask "Who ARE you??"
And post "What the hell was that?" here. You follow up with a shouting insulting post.
I post "What the hell?" here, and you tell me I should die.
That alone would warrant people holding me back had you done it in person.

You are a disease.
I have no idea how someone like you could possibly associate with such good people.
Sardonic, sarcastic, and self-centered. The only possible reason I can think of is you seem quite intelligent.

Do I have a tendency to overreact? No.
People on the internet overstep the bounds of civil discourse to easily, and too many people accept that.
Done. I'm done.

If this is how you act in person, you WILL get beat down some day. That fact makes me happy.

If this is not how you act in person, you're a phony poseur internet toughguy, and not worth your weight in dogshit.

Goodbye, all.

Hi Dere Hastings! I am touring teh world after UK Watercooler got nuked (when will admins catch up with democracy?).

Some good chat and fun pictures, though I feel DC will have more in the way of kittens. Well done on surviving the poll.

Also: I seem to be a jackass...

― onimo, Wednesday, 14 March 2007 16:47 (eighteen years ago)

Thanks for the confirmation, and I apologize for any long-lasting psychological effects.

HI DERE!

Normally we're funny, but so far today, we really fucking suck. Sorry about that.

― John Justen, Wednesday, 14 March 2007 16:49 (eighteen years ago)

Hello omino. I believe you'll find that Hastings has a fondness for kittens.

― Sara R-C, Wednesday, 14 March 2007 16:49 (eighteen years ago)

wow.

i've kinda lost touch with the hastings thread.

shit's done gone crazy.

hey you guys should talk more about weird drunk dudes you went to high school and minnesota-centric minutia and less crazy freak out fite, k?

anyway, i'm good.

weather is nice. spring is here.

some friends of mine have rented a "party bus" to take us around st. paul on st. pattys day.

it could get ugly for me.

― M@tt He1ges0n, Wednesday, 14 March 2007 16:55 (eighteen years ago)

Seconded. Thirded. Infinited?

M@tt, you should get me your party bus agenda, and I'll meet you somewhere along the way, to clear your airways and use the defibrillator. I think the webmail on here is fuxored, but you can get in touch at j0hnjust3n@gma1l.com.

Googleproofing removed, of course.

― John Justen, Wednesday, 14 March 2007 17:00 (eighteen years ago)

Hi M@tt!

You know you shouldn't write the sentence "spring is here" before June here in MN. My god, it's not even the Ides of March yet.

Glad you're well...

Did I go to high school with weird drunk dudes? Visit the "John Justen and Fluffy Bear Will Drink It" thread and find out.... (to be fair, they usually seemed sober during school hours)

Never apologize for kitty pirates.

It has dead eyes and clammy infant nards.

If you look at the picture closely, you can see that this might not be true anymore... There's diaper that I can see - maybe kitty is about to get its revenge. Possibly I'm just interpreting this picture all wrong.

That cat is so serious that it made me forget what I was went to Google for. Now that's a powerful cat. (Either that or I'm more tired than I think I am.)

Do you think the serious cat would object to the Hastings satin/Satan cape? I think it would cheer him considerably to have a costume.

sara r-c, what do you think about the movie 'heathers'?

Very classic movie, with many classic lines. Also: reminds me of high school more than it should.
