from floodtide :
Just sent you a LOOONG-ass e-mail. And yes, I expect an answer. Love you crazyfull. g
from floodtide :
Planning to arrive NYC Thursday evening. Can I stay with you Friday night and/or Saturday night and/or Sunday night (if necessary) What about Thursday? I need to know; I need to make plans. How can we talk? I need to know when I can arrive, if I can park there, other details. Workshop all day Saturday, 10-5, but otherwise largely free for the weekend and want to spend time with you. Willing to splurge for a killer dinner for you. Have to leave buttcrack of dawn Sun or Mon morning. I e-mailed both addresses, or 314-853-7882, please tell me if there's SOME WAY we can TALK? gwm
from floodtide :
God, you're quite the STEALTH note-leaver, aren't you? I have to leave NYC early - EARLY - on the morning of the 22nd (Sunday), or possibly on the 23rd. I need a place to stay Friday night and Saturday night at least. Don't know if I'm free Sat night or not, depends on when I see Joanna's show, etc. I can find someone else to stay with if I come to the city Thursday night. Can't wait to see you - I was just thinking about you this morning on my walk to work, wondering what the fuck is up with you. Miss you so much, you bastard. gwm
from floodtide :
PS: Yes, we're moving to Tallahassee. Got the call yesterday.
from floodtide :
Throw me a bone here, kiddo: I will attend Lee F's wedding in upstate NY/Vermont June 18-19, and hope to spend a day or two in NYC going to and/or from. I want to see you. Am willing to take care of any expenses - even for both of us (dinners, etc.,; hell, you could even come spend the weekend with me at an inn in Vermont) - but you have to meet me halfway on logistics. You gonna be around? Do I have to find someplace else to stay? Any idea what your schedule will be? If I mailed you a calling card would you phone me? I love you.
from norenhuxley :
Yay! It's really finally you! I've gotten by with not nearly enough abuse about my college choice this winter, and that made me sad. And I find the New Yorker to be an excellent substitute for a couch.
from floodtide :
PS: I'm sorry about the smoking, but dammit C you said I could rag you if and when this happened; in fact when I said I might you TOLD ME YOU WANTED ME TO. What do I do here?
from floodtide :
Sweet Fool, would you please let go of the aborted visit stuff guilt? I have let go of all the aborted visit anger, ages ago. Letter is going into the mail to you today, Wed 3-9. Glad all is well with K, and believe me, I know whereof you speak: I remember feeling that way about Interlochen kids: if I wasn't subsuming my entire life to them I ended up feeling guilty. Could we ever talk on the phone if I sent you a long-distance calling card? I miss you. Love, ft
from floodtide :
You complete and total well-meaning lovable but totally fluff-headed DORK: you GAVE me <Norwegian Wood> as my intro to Murakami; I have you to thank for my love of his work. Can I write you back via e-mail now, or do I need to crank out another USPS-borne letter? Love you and miss you insanely, ft
from sea-change- :
I don't want for people to *not* recommend books to me. That would be awful. Exactly the opposite of the desired result. What a horrid lesson to draw from your own mistakes. No, the thing that should happen is that men should also want to TAKE recommendations. I don't get it. It's really nice to be introduced to a great book. How can this not appeal to men? As for Thomas Mann - I have a very pronounced taste for books with very little action and a whole lot of commentary. That means I often really like dour German novels. Novels with lots of action...I don't know, I hate Stendhal. I must be wrong in the head.
from floodtide :
Does this mean you got my letter? And ditto on sea-change's note: does this mean you're going to update one of these days? I am dying here. Hugs and kisses, ft
from sea-change- :
does note-leaving mean you're going to start updating again anytime soon? c'mon, dude.
from odalisk :
ayna al-sayara al-safran? You've got one up on me; I still haven't learned to swear in Arabic. I'm so jealous that you lived in Amman. I want to go to Jordan so badly. Also, good luck in the big city!
from norenhuxley :
And look, I even said "well" instead of "good." I feel intelligent.
from norenhuxley :
I did not realize how much I would miss your regular update. Hope you're well, babes. Happy New Year!
from floodtide :
Thanks for your notes. I'll e-mail you later today; I'm getting on the road tomorrow or Tuesday. I'm planning to stay with you on the night of the 6th and/or the 7th - is this a possibility? It makes me downright giddy to think of seeing you. Love, me
from odalisk :
yeesh, don't abandon the diary just when it's about to get good. How cruel would that be? Also, where did you pick up the insha'allah?
from heinrich :
if you happen to check this despite being sans computer/ internet (you are magical, after all): send me your phone number.
from floodtide :
You liked "Notting Hill"? Considering how very intimately as you and I know each other, I love that you can still surprise me so completely. Safe travels, mio piccolo fratello. Here's to dinner in NYC on January 7...
from odalisk :
Yeah, it never pays to tell an ex how much you hate them and why you think they're awful. It just makes you seem more pathetic. Which should remind us all: that's what friends are for! Spill your bile on them, maintain a dignified silence elsewhere. Wouldn't it be funny if everything that anybody ever said about their exes was really true? We'd really be living the life of nasty, brutish, and short.
from norenhuxley :
"Severely disturbed individual." You should have sent the e-mail back to her and changed the names around. Safe travels, dearie, and have fun settling back into the city.
from teop :
Safe travels, my friend, or as they say in these parts: Vayas con Dios. :) teop
from grlscout :
Yeah, you're probably right. I live in Canadian cow-town, so rednecks I can appreciate. Sometimes I think each of our citizens should be forced to undergo sensitivity training for other races, sexual orientations, religions, socio-economic status, hockey alliances, the list goes on... Yeah ignorance is sad, not to mention embarassing!
from odalisk :
Sure. You wanna tell me your name?
from odalisk :
Hey, there's a big picture of Topher Grace on the newspaper lining the bottom of my birdcage right now! Quite the coincidence, non?
from grlscout :
Hey Seastreet, Floodtide and Shanny said such wonderful things about you that I had to come visit. I've added you to my favourites list and I thought it wasn't fair that I have you there but you can't see who the heck I am because I'm locked. If you would like to stop by sometime, just drop me an emai and I'll send you the username/password. :: Scout
from odalisk :
not smoking is sexy.
from snideblonde :
I'm locked now, street. If you'd like the password, email me at snideblonde@hotmail.com
from pollymagoo :
His name was Roger...something. Egbert, Ebert? I'm joking, of course. How hilarious I am. In fact I don't think he's anyone you (or anyone else) would have heard of. He's probably not even a film critic.
from odalisk :
No, the guy's something like d'annu.nziano or something, and the girl is Nathalie go.lou.bew.
from pandionna :
Re neuropathy: Check your e-mail. Heh, you knew that was coming...
from norenhuxley :
How does one decorate around a rock climbing wall?
from seastreet :
Guest room? No. Guest couch? Not yet, certainly, but there will be!
from pollymagoo :
Is there a guest room in any of these places?
from buck88 :
i love park slope!. move to the slope!////.....
from odalisk :
And I was beginning to doubt that you'd actually graduated from Sarah Lawrence...
from jcruelty :
roofer huh. reminds me of the mitch hedberg line. "i used to be hot-tar roofer. yeah, i remember that... day..."
from norenhuxley :
That's a statement that's not going to make me neurotic. Except I feel bad because whenever I'm too sweet I worry I'm making people throw up a little.
from fusco :
if i can manage a day off the ciggies anyone can. get to it then, regret is such a pointless emotion.
from pollymagoo :
How could you slack with Cloud Atlas? I love it so far - am just over the middle hummock and on my way out the other side. When I'm done either you can get MSN or I can get whatever you have and we'll have an online book group. Also, I will be in New York early next year so hurry on up there because I'll need a guide.
from norenhuxley :
Mean people suck.
from norenhuxley :
You do realize this is going to keep me up all night while I obsess over why you feel this way and how I can't figure it out?
from norenhuxley :
Okay, I can't let that first thought go. You're not allowed to say that to someone who can't remember she's supposed to say "I'm well" instead of "I'm good." I've concluded that you must have developed delusions after realizing you were living off the nickels in your change jar. Because that is the most ridiculous thing you've ever said to me. That, or you're making fun of my inability to deal with primorial primes and it's gone completely over my head.
from norenhuxley :
First thought: I'm choosing to agree with you, not because you're right (which umm… you aren't) but because then I can say "I'm smarter than everybody in the state of Florida!" and that's funnier, although once you move it won't so impressive. Also I would like to know what prompted this thought.. Second Thought: You are the fourth person to ask me that. I must have snobby images; they always show up for me.
from norenhuxley :
Been. I swear I typed "been."
from norenhuxley :
I am on to your editing entries after they've be posted; more importantly, that is far too impressive to post in a suggestion box. Oh, yeah, and I likes the new font.
from jennyj :
Nice work on the new font. Oh, and the whole NYC thing too.
from teop :
congrats, Sea...that's great news on your new fellowship position. Wow - special ed..that should be interesting and challenging. They always need special ed teachers, so there'll be job security for you. Peace, teop
from norenhuxley :
Yay. Now get the fuck out of that state.
from snideblonde :
Okay, Street. In these desperate times, I'm willing to marry you. Come to Canada and escape the madness.
from norenhuxley :
It is high time to start working for the increase of global warming, so Florida will flood and be no more. That or genetically engineer fire ants that are more like nuclear bomb ants.
from snideblonde :
Honey! ACK! Take care and try to sleep lots and lots!
from blueapple :
You're lock'd! Hope that nothing unpleasant has happened, I'll be checking back to see if you return -- if you choose to.
from heinrich :
next time i am in class and don't want to take notes or at work and don't want to do work or working on an article and don't want to work on an article, you will be the first one i im. i've not been near my computer much since i confirmed your address w/ you. (ps: how are you google-able? you never mention your name.)
from odalisk :
You are locked. I am upset. Also, people call themselves modernists when they study modern art. Kind of like I'm an Islamicist, because I study Islamic art.
from heinrich :
c- sorry that you are hidden away now. hope all is well and you are gone simply because you have an Exciting Secret Identity you don't want to reveal. or because you are breaking client confidentiality. - m
from zeroreverb7 :
Ive seen you've locked up...I hope you are OK!!! Take good care of YOU Hugs Hugs (if a password is forthcoming Id like to ask for one) Peace
from teop :
I thought of you today - I can't remember what triggered it, but when I did, I thought, "Gosh, I hope Seastreet's feeling better." And then I thought, "I can´t believe he voted for Nader...I mean, I understand his philosphy and all because I almost voted for Nader four years ago until I heard the early results from the East Coast as I headed to the polls on the West Coast." Sea...you live in a SWING STATE!!!! How could you vote for NADER????? Anyway...I just had to get that question off my chest. By the way, if you're giving passwords out, I'd love to have one. You're my second favorite diary...second only to Flood - our dear friend. And one last thing given that I'm unloading more than my fair share of 2 cents...it sounds to me like you need to pack your truck and get onto I-95 North and keep on driving. It's your choice, Sea...continue to be unhappy where you are or make a change. Take care. Peace and love, teop
from buck88 :
whats with the lockin topher grace?!?
from girlsdontcry :
Yes, what has happened? As if the world wasn't a bad enough place already and now YOU'RE LOCKED?? girlsdontcry@diaryland.com if passwords are to be given, please...
from pollymagoo :
Also, why are you locked? Is it temporary? Or can I have a password? You can send it to polly@pollymagoo.co.uk
from pollymagoo :
It is not fun at all, it is downright scary, because our organ-grinder's monkey of a prime minister will just do whatever your president tells him. Our future is so completely in America's hands that I feel like I deserve a vote. If all goes wrong, you are welcome to a space on our couch, but as I said to Vancookie when he wanted to escape by marrying a European, you might be better off in France.
from red-wine :
Locked? Dude! tap-tap-tap...maenad76@yahoo.com
from odalisk :
that was scary.
from buck88 :
if everyone on diaryland bid a dollar for your ass surely that could help. b88
from odalisk :
ahem, but...*top* it? That's an interesting image.
from teop :
I just saw "Man on Fire" or whatever the title was (it was in Spanish here and I can't remember) this weekend starring Denzel, and the last movie I saw before that was "Stepford Wives" starring Nicole. I covet your dream! :)
from norenhuxley :
You? A bad example? Whatever gives you that idea? No, unfortunately, at this point I've stopped needing help in that area. But if I do, I'll ask. Trust me on that.
from snideblonde :
Read my entry today (sunday) and then you admire truly how glamourous and thrilling it is in the record industry from my end.
from snideblonde :
whoops, change that 'to' to a 'too'.
from snideblonde :
Street... Something fantastic will come along, it's just the way the Universe works. I was freaking out about money & thinking I needed to get outta the theatre/acting world- when my new job came along. It will happen for you to. Just keep putting it out there and believe in yourself. seriously.
from snideblonde :
HAHAHAHAHA! That entry was brilliant! You know I work for a record label right? Ah, the bittersweet song of being an opening band. Sorry to laugh at your pain, but goddamn that was funny! Nice work, Street.
from norenhuxley :
The Gospel yodeller--the funniest moment about life in Florida you have related. I don't think you're going to be able to top this one. Which might be a Good Thing.
from tariqa :
Thanks for your message, seastreet. I somewhat agree with you, especially the part about the ill-conceived. It very well may be that the next "democratically elected" regime in Iraq will also have to turn out to be a dictator in order to control the traditional cabals - our history of installing leaders in places we've interfered is not stellar. Where I do not disagree is that this is a political war -- not anymore. That's the difference between Vietnam quagmire and this one - that was political; this one is based on "God ordaining" to two different warring sides. God's little joke. Perhaps her way of controlling the population? Starving and killing people in the Sudan, setting fundamental Islamic radicals against Christians?
from snideblonde :
I love reading your journal. I love that you're always open and utterly honest about who you are and where you're going. Go to New York, street. Do it alone! More power to you.
from odalisk :
I like the voting idea. I wish we could change our government to make it more logical. Also, where would you buy clothes from if not the Gap? And if you prefer these other clothes, why don't you work to obtain them, or a reasonable facsimile? I probably own...I don't know, 2-3 items from the Gap, total, and under ten if you add in Old Navy & Banana Republic. It's not hard to avoid. But I guess I'm addicted to shopping.
from norenhuxley :
I think you are setting the intelligence bar too high. If you are only "least-dumb", then there is no way some Floridians ever will make it up to "really-fucking-dumb."
from odalisk :
Yeah, but both kinds of friendship are important. Being able to choose friends with the qualities you desire is the primrose path to snobbishness.
from raven72d :
Thai in Tallinn... I do like that. After all-- Estonia is Valinor.
from odalisk :
No, my thing with the Mr. Rogers was that a boy becomes a man, but a girl becomes a lady - not a woman. And "lady" as a term has all sorts of baggage attached, all of them prescribing submissive, restrained, and inhibited behavior...I remember seeing this sign a while back that was something like, "A good wife should look like a lady, act like a man, work like a dog" - which, as much as I somehow sincerely feel like it's good advice, is - for exactly that reason - profoundly disturbing...oh well, whatever. I don't hate Mr. Rogers. And I used to play princess when I was a kid too. And, if we're ever in the same town, it'd be splendid to accompany you to a watering hole.
from odalisk :
nobody buys me drinks, buster. And, along the same lines, that Mr. Rodgers interview was irksomely phallocentric - help "him" realize "he" is unique? A boy becomes a man, a girl becomes a lady? Eh, eh, makes me cringe a little. Nevertheless! Mr. Rodgers was sweet as pie & I hope you enjoy the city. I miss it.
from teop :
loved your entry today, and not just because the gruff senator who got goosebumps was from RI!!! thanks for sharing...peace,teop
from pollymagoo :
I don't have AOL, you don't have MSN, do you think cups and string across the Atlantic would work? And as for Tony Blair, he should have known better, so the fault is all his own.
from odalisk :
man, I've been thinking about changing my diary to palimpsest for ages. I'll be irked if you beat me to the punch.
from tariqa :
Thanks for stopping by, seastreet. I agree with you about the disproportionate poor and minority who are dying, being maimed and injured over there. And also that, the defense department needs to keep the process updated...but I also am well aware that when there was a just war, World War II, our men, young and old, couldn't wait to enlist. My brother joined the U. S.Maritime Service and served on the Star of Scotland, because he was too young to join the navy. No one tried to escape duty by joining National Guard and doing a couple of weekends a month or fleeing to Canada. President Roosevelt asked us all to be ready to make sacrifices. And we were all willing to do that. This is the subject of another blog! Later...
from teop :
hmm...sounds like a fun drinking game...the only problem is if I were to participate in that tonight, I'll end up being under the table laughing silly within the first 5 minutes and then having my stomach pumped out at the ER before the first half hour is over! In any case...Salud. Have a great evening and weekend. :)
from norenhuxley :
I'm really glad we cleared up the confusion over R./Your Grandmother before I read your last entry. So thanks.
from odalisk :
Hmm. Three things. 1. I'm VERY suspicious of people who talk about love too early. I think they're the most dangerous kind; the ones who project, who almost don't care who they're with, as long as they're in love. 2. Love is messy; that's okay. 3. I am in no position to give advice, at all.
from pandionna :
Ouch. So sorry to read about your friend.
from odalisk :
Yes, you call the next day.
from pollymagoo :
I wish I lived in a place where I could go to a bar by myself and make friends. People don't do that here. Mainly I don't like it when strangers talk to me, but I think this is different.
from odalisk :
Ahhhh, so you like the older women, do you?
from norenhuxley :
OH MY GOD YES. It could link to online library card catalogues, too! Except people would use an IBDB to cheat on their English papers. And that would make it even worse for those of us who actually write (and are not necessarily above selling) our research papers.
from norenhuxley :
You're in luck then--I lied. (I know, if I'm lying in my diary what's the point? But, in case you forgot, I'm an incredibly odd, inconsistent person) I didn't actually burn them. I just dumped them in my trash can--didn't even crumple them up because I was tipsy and VERY tired, not a good combination, and thought the act of crumpling paper might result in me falling over. Maybe I'll finish it and mail it to you.
from odalisk :
Henpecked, eh?
from palinode :
Thanks for the note of sympathy. And I'll accept your proferred lunch, since I'll likely be returning to sunny wind-swept Florida, where the Lord throws trailers around like Lego pieces. If I don't come back soon, though, please FedEx me that lunch.
from pollymagoo :
Oh do you? How brilliant! Shall we have a virtual affair that ends really badly and then write about it for months until everyone hates us?
from pollymagoo :
Dear Seastreet, your diary is great. Belated happy birthday.
from blueapple :
Allow me to wish you a belated happy birthday and wrinkle my nose at the date story -- sympathies, dear. Sympathies and courage.
from norenhuxley :
Happy birthday. You get points for the doritos and vodka combination, provided they weren't the nasty Ranch kind.
from vancookie :
don't call. happy birthday.
from odalisk :
That's funny. I don't know what your deal is, but I had a vaguely similar reaction to Jack, the guy I hooked up with in Egypt - I was so out of practice that something about the whole meet & greet left me feeling vaguely revolted. But once I was back in the swing of things I was much happier. Now I'm out of the swing of things again, and bound to repeat the same process. I've really just decided that meeting people is no fun at all. And neat people - they may be unfathomable, but they are often very convenient housemates.
from seastreet :
Truly, unforgettably awful. I am scarred. Nothing- NOTHING- went well, or even badly enough that I can now laugh. Fortunately the date made up for its shittiness with brevity, and I managed not to get pulled over on the way home. The whole thing may have worked as negative reinforcement: I now know that I am less comfortable with arranged flirting than I am with just never getting laid.
from odalisk :
That's funny. You've cast Levin as a modern day Humbert Humbert - still, somehow, much more appealing than he actually is. I figure Levin would just end up being a self-satisfied republican father of the house, getting a little bit more mentally inflexible and a little bit less fun every passing day until he's the kind of guy who little kids poke fun at when he's mowing the lawn with a big grimace on his face and keeps a big stash of nudie mags in his closet while telling his daughters to remain virgins until their wedding day.
from odalisk :
You mean hallmark specials where you mentor somebody who goes on to do heroic things, great or small? PS - I hate Levin. He's such a self-righteous prig, and kind of a domineering jerk to Kitty.
from odalisk :
I ask myself at least once an hour how it came to be that I'm not having sex. The world is stuffed to the gills with warm bodies and you'd think - you would just think - that an interested twenty-something would be getting action all the time. Every day, I see ugly people, old people, fat people and boring people wallowing in contentment derived from a satisfying sexual life. How do they do it?
from norenhuxley :
Once one of my third grade teachers stressed to us the importance of being able to climb trees to protect ourselves from rampaging gators. We were studying the Everglades at the time and she'd failed to notice that there are no trees in the Everglades.
from odalisk :
I think the difference is that the situation in that area was so bizarre before Israel came around and that Israel was invaded, so in some sense they didn't start out as the aggressors. I don't know. I still don't understand the whole situation...I think I'm just willing to give Israel a *little* more credit than I was before. But, so far as I've read, everything they've done since say 1960 is pretty ignoble.
from pandionna :
I just finished the draft of an article on quitting smoking. One of the points is to focus on little things you won't have to deal with. Somehow, my friend, I don't think "fear of being devoured by alligators" will get past my editor, but for a minute there, I had it typed and ready to go. ;-)
from bloodrunsred :
I realize that by the time you get this it is most likely that everything will be over and whatnot, but look after yourself down there. Don't get blown away or anything.
from odalisk :
I see you've caught the New York disease (near-fatal dependence on the city...)...and thanks for the date correction. My laptop was confused after a summer of disuse.
from jcruelty :
i liked both books... we read them both for my bookclub. given that our current book is a history of soviet gulags, perhaps our club should be named the "unrelentingly grim fiction/nonfiction book club". but then membership might suffer. there's also a documentary about romeo dellaire (sp?), the UN guy in rwanda who tried desperately to get the UN to intervene & stop the genocide. i think he's attempted suicide a couple times since then. he could probably use some flowers too.
from bloodrunsred :
Hi. I'm in an Internet Cafe in Syndey and I wanted to let you know that a) I got fives on both my AP exams, b) if you get a postcard of a joey in the mail, that's from me, c) I shared your Semiweekly Rant with one of the girls here with me and she's just dying with laughter.... Oh yeah, and congrats on shooting a gun. Every Aussie student we meet asks us if we have guns. I've started saying "Not many... just four or five in my suicase" in reply. Talk to you eventually.

from teop :
oh my...i can't believe you store knowledge like the actual name of the courthouse in RI in your head - you cease to amaze me. I was also inspired to learn a little about it and found this on the RI Judiciary Homepage: The Licht Judicial Complex is named after former Superior Court Associate Justice and former Governor Frank Licht.  Construction began in 1928 and was completed in 1933.  The interior of the building features granite mined in Westerly, Rhode Island.  In addition, the structure contains more than thirty (30) different types of stone and marble that was brought to Rhode Island from the finest quarries in the United States and from numerous foreign countries. Thanks for the inspiration to learn more about my hometown. :) teop
from teop :
Hey it's me again. I just read your note. :) I actually have done that sort of thing once (since I'm a nice girl) ;) and given it's been a while since I had ANYTHING, I might just DO it again. So I wonder if that would make me a not so NICE girl. ;)
from teop :
RI was looking really nice when I was there last week. :) Then again, I love Portland - the West Coast might do you good. If I didn't already have renters, I'd rent my house to you! Peace, teop
from carbonbased :
come to canada, seastreet. please? :)
from carbonbased :
oh the old george jerk-off nightmare, everyone has that.
from carbonbased :
Philip Roth rules. I love that dude.
from tariqa :
I wrote yesterday about literacy, too...after reading Andrew Solomon's op-ed piece in the N.Y.Times...
from bloodrunsred :
I took delight out of reading that article on how wretched it is Americans have switched to electronic media online. If you want a postcard from The Other Side of the World, you ought to e-mail me your address. I promise not to stalk you, or to give it to the-mermaid, so I promise she won't stalk you either. And if you don't want a postcard, I'm offended.--Noren.
from jcruelty :
yeah i'm definitely still feeling the love for SF. incidentally, we've read some of the same books recently... blindness and problem from hell. does this make us "cognoscenti" ?
from bloodrunsred :
Did any of your relatives make "Children in [third world country of the week] are starving, so stop wasting food!" over the potato gun's ammunition? Or is that just my Irish-Catholic streak showing through?--Noren.
from kstarr :
DEAR CHUMP CHANGE - it's july all over the world. right now! lots of love and cleverly placed bananas, TEXAS MCASS.
from carbonbased :
The postcard is on it's way! (as of 4 days ago) What luck I checked my mail on the superslow cuban commieputers and lo! I got your message in time :)
from pandionna :
Oh my, I was away when you wrote the cat entry. I just went back and saw it now. I am so sorry you went through that, and sorry that your week is such a steaming heap. Hang in there. And yes, fuck more!
from carbonbased :
Yey for Wainwright purchase. I recomend the first one the most.
from bloodrunsred :
Several things: A) Did you look that up on google or do you just know random shit like that? B) No shit he's stumped. God willing, it;ll never happen, and if it does, it'll just implode in the box office and I can pretend it never happened. C) I'm really sorry about that whole kitten thing. Really sorry. D) I went to Target today to drop off a roll of film with Shla and saw Lesbia working as a cashier, ducked over, and tried to hold back sudden bout of giggling. E) Do you get some thrill out of crushing my spirits or is it just an innate talent? Cheerio--Noren
from teop :
Your entry about the "incident" literally brought tears to my eyes...how sad for that cat - and for you to have to witness it all! I think what really did it was your comment of not knowing whether or not to genuflect or vomit as you had never seen a creature fight death before. It made me wonder about my cat and her last moments... I know I'd probably would have done the same thing you did and felt guilty as well - but what could you do if stuff was already coming out of its head??

P.P.S.: And why didn't you call me last night? I wasn't able to call you because we had company, but I was hoping the phone was gonna ring...
from floodtide :
P.S. And don't get me STARTED on Kerry.
from floodtide :
I know he wasn't doing anything Democrats hadn't done. My frustration with Reagan, as with any politician, is how people can continue to support him in droves when he was such a fucking liar and hypocrite. It's the inability of the masses to see contradictions that makes me insane. I suppose that we're driven much more than we want to think by our NEED to believe in whatever - God, Reagan, equality - so we cling to our ersatz heroes no matter the discrepancies between what they claim and what they do. (Thus, I suppose, Bush's getting away with calling Kerry a flip-flopper, when his own positions have done perfect 180's in response to Rove's interpretation of that day's polls.) When I bitch and moan about asshole politicians, everyone seems to forget - because of my liberalism - that I hated Clinton almost as much as I hate Bush.

I'm no longer a lost sonnet! I'm a deliberate, gentle, love, dreamer. I guess we have "gentle" in common. :) My name there is teop as well - I tried to send you a message but it kept giving me an error message when I went to hit send. Maybe I'll try on another computer tomorrow. That site does make me feel very old, though - I'm probably considered antiquity...maybe even mummified.
from teop :
ok - so we know your political compass - what did you get on your cupid test??? I'm "the sonnet" - and now I forgot exactly what it said and I just tried to link back and it won't give me the answer...bummer. I'm a lost sonnet I guess.

Oh my god! I Know! Starlight? it was like tilting my head back and lavishing my throat with pixie sticks! (remember those?) I watched The Crow when I got home....then I just listened to some dark russian music...:) ahhhh all was made right :) Here's to being a somber lot...:) be well hugs peace
from pandionna :
The cynic in me wants to say that happiness is the only true neurosis. I think someone else said that once, but I can't remember who it was. But once I read a study, years and years ago, that suggested that happiness may be the abnormality, considering all the stressors in the environment. Think about it: Did hunter-gatherers have time to kick back? No, they were worried about not dying all the time. Seems normal to me. ;-)
from carbonbased :
no way! I also bought a lottery ticket for the first time in my life, same date, same jackpot! :) strange and cool

actually, it's more complicated than that. :( i was kinda forced to lock my diary and with that i lost interest in writing. i mean i would like to write, but the lock is somehow stopping me :) is it stupid?
from floodtide :
Hell, she makes ME hot. I think that's why I was secretly hoping she might be a lesbian when they referred to her and her "partner" on Saint Paul Sunday; I'd be less jealous that way. How'd YOU discover her? I heard her on the radio a couple years ago, her live recording of the Beethoven Fourth Piano Concerto w/NY Phil and RAN IMMEDIATELY out to purchase it; she's a genius. And God is she gorgeous. And the wolves thing just makes her hot hot hot hot hotter. Love, flood
from teop :
your new comment for me prompted me to write! Yeah!! I didn't write much but enough to say I'm not gone yet (although some would argue that mentally I left years ago).
from carbonbased :
hey seastreet, have I told you lately that I love you? :D Cos I do. Riveting entries (I've reaqd the last 4 at once now), seastreet classics :)
from bloodrunsred :
The cutest moive ever was The Little Toaster that Could. Julia Roberts (when she's playing herself, no less) can't even compare to an animated toaster and company. And before you go an say it was the best Hugh Grant film, Love Actually beats it, because he a) dances around 10 Downing Street and b) sings Good King Wenceslas (or however you spell his name) to five year olds. Plus if you watch the deleted scenes Liam Neeson looks up Cluadia Schiffer naked and then bribes his stepson with 100 pounds to take the heat. And Alan Rickman cheats on his wife with possibly the only actress in said film who is worse than Julia Roberts. That compared to a Fruitarian, a messy and crude house mate, and a fight over a brownie in Notting Hill. So there.
from bloodrunsred :
I misread everything you say; one would think you'd get used to it by now. (I misread your notes especially when I'm getting them in between pages of A Prayer for Owen Meany, which is the most god-awful book ever that actually has a decent plot buried in it... somewhere. I miss 100 Years of Solitude.) And I still fail to see how the unbrigdable biological gulf I mentioned applies to the nuclear weapons thing, which is a different subject altogether. Not that I think women should have control of nukes, because have you ever seen forty year old women stressed out about their jobs who are on anti-sinus drugs have a cat fight? Very interesting experience. But I just wouldn't want them to have nuclear weapons with which to back up their arguments.

And of course the Bomb is much safer in the hands of men, who would never use them as replacements for their genitalia in size competitions and pissing contests, eh?

Point conceded--I'm sorry and I'll change it. However, in my defense, if you missed one word in that sentence it rapidly changed meaning. And what, now I'm expected to read correctly or something? When have I ever done that?
from bloodrunsred :
Long note from me again. A) Your math student sounds like me in Algebra II. Which makes me feel really sorry for you. B)Could your bargirls have more cliched names?! C)Even if A Prayer for Owen Meany did spawn the film gem Simon Birch, it makes me want to die when I think I have to get through 546 more pages of long winded horror. D) Brief summary of dirt on hypnosis--All he had to do to hypnotize me was have me roll my eyes and then close them. And then he made my hand levitate and told me I would think it was "slightly amusing" and I really didn't want it to be funny but indeed it was "slightly amusing" to me. E) It's probably too late to bother with the tie, but what shade of blue are we talking? Cheers, Noren.

Well, you've been mysteriously quiet on my layout changes--both of them--so I'm concerned. Have you lost internet capabilities or do you hate me for my poor choices so much you're just going to ignore me? Of course I hope that the silence is from your utter shock at the brillance of the new layout, but you're too much of a snob. Also, I think I proved myself enough of Democrat for the "to-be" part of my description to be removed. Hope you're well. Cheers!--Noren

So, the boy who thought he'd never be a teacher has not only become one, but has become (no surprise) a teacher of such extraordinary generosity, love, and empathy, that he's changing 153 lives on a daily basis. Your entry quite literally brought tears to my eyes - tears of love and gratitude and respect for all that you're doing. And I can't help feeling a flood of recognition; you sound like ME, kiddo: had you noticed that, yet?
from zeroreverb7 :
you just saved that boy's life. god I love you. I remember those teachers that reached out to me in my lifetime...it really made all the difference. You Freaking Rock! Peace
from teop :
I loved your latest entry about your teaching exploits. The students there are lucky to have you - it sounds as though your establishing some real connections with them, and that's what they need the most before they can do much of the academics. Good luck in the trenches - we may not make much money here but we do make a difference. And thanks for the "marriage is love" link - I added it to my page as well. Cheers. Love, teop

Did you know they made Before Sunrise 2? Same actors, same director... I think we must rent this. The reviews are suprisingly positive...apparently it already came out in Europe months ago, no clue if it will come here - probably not. I loved this movie too. Missing your writing.... J.
from floodtide :
You know something? You're going to be a fucking AMAZING lawyer. Anybody who can get me to RESPECT Scalia's opinion is, to say the very very least, persuasive. Compelling, even. I fucking hate that. And I'd hate you, too, right now (just for a second, of course), if I weren't so fucking in AWE of you. Plus I love you bunches. Missing you lots, as always. ft, aka the Phoenix-on-Fire
from bloodrunsred :
I told my mom briefly what you said about SLC--but warmed her up with what you said about Reed. She's tentatively okay with a visit Sarah Lawrence (provided I actually clean my room for it--bull) but the bigger deal with her is the Reed commentary. She *hearts* you, big time, for hating Reed. I neglected to mention you were also the Interlochen guy, because then she's go off at me because she didn't like that idea at all and certainly didn't like whoever told me about the place in the begining. And I have better things to waste my time with. Thanks again.

Washington U really wants me to go there. Like, bad enough to send me eight copies of the same piece of mail. On the same day. And they cared enough to see that they arrived on my birthday. Best present ever.
from teop :
Oh my....I love your legal version of the ten second rule - or I should say, Florida Statute 715.103. You are well on your way to becoming an attorney - if you can write something like that, you certainly have the jargon down. They really should have questions like that on your law school entry exams! It certainly would make for some fun reading.
from liquidhuman :
Oddly enough, my sister is still single. You interested? It's a match I could approve; any man who likes Tom Stoppard is ok by me.
from heinrich :
oh, and dearie, you need a hobby. (your ten second rule statute.) at least you're prepared for legislative drafting.
from heinrich :
legislation, state and local government, family law, law and policy of homelessness, poverty and the administrative state, statistics. sounds like i'm in public policy school, not law school.
from bloodrunsred :
See, I don't like the idea of exploding vehicles, so I don't drive. But you get a gold star anyway for even knowning what any of that crap is-- I had to go and ask my dad. I would tell you I'm glad you felt better, but you didn't send me a birthday e-card. So too fucking bad.
from floodtide :
Oh, by the way: I've no idea why she was writing it, what it was in response to, but girlsdontcry is right, kiddo: you're CUTE, you're a downright hottie, you always have been. Get that through your stubborn little head. What was making you doubt it?
from floodtide :
Obviously, HAS little or nothing to do....
from floodtide :
It may be true, but it's irrelevant to my argument: I've read and heard interviews with the boy, and he doesn't use phrases like "regrettable wardrobe malfunction" in conversation and I'm guessing he never saw his "statement" until it was "released." What vexes me most about all of this is epitomized in Jackson's statement yesterday that he was "only" supposed to rip off one layer "leaving a little bit of red lace" - as if that would have been tasteful, appropriate, a good thing. This incident, like his fame, his little or nothing to do with his talent; it is all a result of marketing and spin. Kind of like my babe Condoleezza - but at least she makes up her own words.
from bloodrunsred :
Umm... well...I think you were the only one who noticed... with the exception of all the sexually frustrated, adolescent boys at my school, and the ones in this computer lounge are talking very loudly about what websites it's posted on... *hmmmm*

You're definitely good looking. In fact, if I was the kind of person who said that people were cute, I would say you're cute. But I'm too shy to say that sort of thing.
from pandionna :
Ugh, my neighbors. The one whose bedroom is right below the birdroom smokes like a chimney. I mean, she must chainsmoke seven or eight cigarettes at a time. We sent a letter to the landlord and cc'd the neighbors that whenever they smoke in the winter, we come home to a haze in our apartment, and that it's bad for the birds. The landlord caulked up a bunch of holes, but the other night, it was so bad, Louise was gasping for air, with her beak outstretched and her wings out, like she was suffocating. I had to rush them both out of there and into the living room, where they slept that night. And, at the time, I threw a fit and let her know exactly what I thought she should be doing when she lit up, which was open a window--because she KNOWS all of this from last year. Honestly, I wish they would just move out. I'm sick to death of knowing when they smoke.
from teop :
Thanks for the note. My preference is a Spanish-speaking country so I can learn that language fluently, but I'm open to other places as well - just not the Middle East given that: 1) I'm a woman, and 2) that we have an idiot for a President that might get re-elected. If he does, I might stay away for 4 years!
from teop :
I meant to write this yesterday but was short on time, so here I am today, responding to your thoughts from before... Your entry echoed how I have felt many times...the bad poetry about lonliness which never makes it to print (fortunately)....the wanting of sex but never the type to pursue the easy avenues for it.... Reading it made me want to hold you in a long embrace and hum in your ear the Beatles' tune, "all the lonely people, where do they all come from....ahh, look at all the lonely people...." It's odd that in our loneliness, we're not alone...

Sweet Fool! You should know better than to make vows like those in writing; they are bound to come back someday and bite you in the ass. You need never pay for electrolysis or lasers; the hair will be plucked from your cute little bottom by the teeth in your promises' mouths. You should know that medical malpractice suits are almost always without merit, though; I'll allow you to retract that one - otherwise I copied and saved your entry so as to haunt you with it someday. And: congrats on making concrete progress toward the LSATs. I love you.

as you might notice, i left a note on my entry to clear up my meaning. not issues. just discussion.

from teop :
i could not stop laughing when i read your entry - the "ed." part at the end, actually. the reason being is that i recently watched "the ring" at a friend's house. he had turned all the lights off and at this one part in the movie when the screen itself became dark, his phone rang. mind you, his phone doesn't have a regular ring but a really creepy clickey-a-clickey-a-click sound. i screamed and then laughed my effing ass off. given that i'm still alive and it's been more than 7 days, hopefully you'll be too as you travel across the blue blue ocean. just don't forget to make a copy of the tape and give it to someone - then you'll be sure to have a safe trip. ;) happy travels and thanks for the laugh. love, teop

You meant to say "Star WARS" movie, right? "Attack of the Clones," you wrote, and then, later, "the new Star Trek movie." An understandable slip from such an uber-ST-geek as yourself, but still... I miss you - feels like forever since we chatted. I love you, as you know. ft

Hi neighbor! ;) You're right, I would be more likely to vote for Nader - I almost did in the last election but given I'm on the West Coast, I had the advantage of hearing some of the East Coast results. Being so close between Bush and Gore, I had to vote for Gore. I waited to fill in my ballot until I was driving to the polls to drop it off and listening to results on NPR. I now wonder what our world would be like had they been able to count properly in Florida! As far as pot at an orgy...hmm....I've never really imagined myself at one - a threesome, yes...but not an orgy. It's highly likely I'd be in the corner with you sharing some ganja, with a bong, of course...or even better - let's consume some shrooms - that would really add some color. ;)

so cool. your little note i mean ;) ...new people in my life... exciting... yap. i write in my own language. it`s because my english skills [even my estonian grammar is oh-my-god. yap. piilu knows it ;)] ... and mainly beacause i have my own writing style and expressions... and yeahhh it could be quite a task understanding it, if you are not estonian... [but it`s just a dirty talk and my drinking habits anyway... no deep thoughts...]

Hell, who needs Curtis White? He isn't any more persuasive than you are. When you get going, kiddo, your writing is no less than stunning. And sometimes I still get a little overawed with YOU, too.
from beagle47 :
it is the real conversation between friends, lovers and soul-mates which breathes life into what too often is an otherwise mundane existence. thanks to you and flood for sharing yours. peace (and i really mean that).
from sapphosays :
hey sea....not much to say, just want to compliment that entry. very touching, very real. what an enlightening subway ride. take care.
from shivery :
hey peaches--the song is "christmas wrapping" by the waitresses. of "i know what boys like" fame. they are very bow-wow-wow-esque, aren't they?
from dumb-john :
hi! I researched the etymology of "skunk," inspired by you and your classmate's wonderings, in a subtle attempt to curry your favour and win your heart. This is what I've found: /ƒƒ/ skunk - 1634, squunck, from Algonquian (probably Abnaki) seganku. As an insult, attested from 1841. /ƒƒ/ That comes from http://www.geocities.com/etymonline/s7etym.htm . This link, http://www.takeourword.com/Issue057.html, mentions that the name "Chicago" is derived from the the Cree word for "Skunkland," and that skunks are also called "les enfants de diable" (me too!). So okay, love me now. Skunk. Skunk. Skunk.

I love the TV entry! That was so well done. I put it in my favorite entries!
from sapphosays :
Ooh I had the sleep apnea and I had to have surgery to fix it...my problem was my airway would completely shut off when I was sleeping...so they did all sorts of miserable things to my mouth, including bolting down my tongue so it wouldn't slide back (Tame that freakish monstrosity of a tongue!)...it wasn't the most pleasant experience...two weeks in the hospital, right around Christmas...couldn't eat, drink, swallow, spit or breathe all that well....but it worked...and I could have all the demerol I wanted!...maybe you should see a sleep doctor?

Your 'Precioussssss'? EVIL! How can you love Microcrap? The unintuitive operating system must have driven you mad! I must destroy it by taking it to Comdex and stuffing it up the ass of sweaty Steve Balmer, all the while he chants his evil chant: 'Developers, developers, developers, developers!' Do not take me for a conjuror of beige computers!
from gwenllian :
Oh my gosh! The Tolkien parody was just such a trip! Thanks for sharing it.
from wirefly :
Oh, the cut-and-paste function got the better of my grammar skills! How disappointing. Sorry for the jumble at the end.
from wirefly :
Well, I always feel as if I should leave something earth-shattering when I write a message to someone I have never met so that they will think me brilliant and witty and wise and all that, but really I'm just a girl writing to a boy who lives in Estonia? I've been reading you for some time now and so appreciated your note to me, and thought I'd respond in kind. Cheeky, no? Common experience. I hope your friend stops fucking you over. I hope mine wises up. It's all very tiring, but for all the pros that is sometimes the con of "relationship". Last night (she appears to read my blog every day, whether I've written or not) my friend sent me a note saying the following: Dear C, I'm nearing the end of a very long and hard and emotionally draining day, and I'd very much like for you to tell me that your latest entry wasn't about me. xo, d I think that deserves only a *sigh* and a note to The Wizard of Oz asking for his gracious wisdom. Again I say, I'm not sure what to do with her. Best of luck with YOUR situation. I'm definitely open to suggestion on mine. (PS - had the choice to comment on your current post- the grad-school-related one - or this one and since we've not "noted" each other before. I can be a bit ADD sometimes, as you'll know if you read my silly blog like I hope you do. for that reason, I thought I'd stick to the original topic.)
from neilsun :
hey seastreet. a long time ago you gave me apropos for my comments on aliens. I was just recently reading "hip-hop and me." I haven't read it all as I am about to run to class, but it seemed very thoughtful. if you go to www.livejournal.com/users/cabeandcoco, which is a diary I do jointly with a friend, I have an old entry in there about my feelings about hip-hop. anyway, can't say much, but as a political radical, I can't wait to read "why I'm not a political radical." later, neilsun

Oh, tremendous! Something about that book made me think of you the whole time I read it. Maybe I still think of us as partners-in-restaurateur-crime...muah-ha-ha! Love you, boyo.
from fulminous :
Did you get it yet?? (I'm breathless with anticipation!)
from fulminous :
How do I love thee, Seastreet? Let me count the ways: 1) I love you to tiny tiny bits because you used the word wonky. Wonky!

from jcruelty :
my friend & i want to go to eastern europe (turkey? morocco?) next year and teach english (or basket weaving or what-have-you). she has a lot of background in english teaching, albeit teaching to kids who are already fluent. i have none. expect a barrage of questions between now and summer of next year.
from fulminous :
Goon! I read P.S.Station while you lived with me. I borrowed it from you, remember? Oh, and also: good guess, but wrong. :) The book I sent is much more arrogant, pompous, and condescending.
from floodtide :
Where have you been? Where are you now? God, kiddo, do I miss you. It's time to hear from you - past time, in fact. I love you.
from fulminous :
Like the deserts miss the rain, boyo. <laugh> p.s. I just got a cast-iron crepe pan. It's waiting for you to eat crepes that come out of it. Don't you get a vacation soon?
from jcruelty :
excellent recipe. i'll have to try it sometime.
from sevon :
Carefull, I'll start calling you Golightly. I miss you too.

trotsky wasn't so bad. (i just finished "trotsky for dummies", and am filled with temporary sympathy.)
from fulminous :
I miss you so much! Blarrrggh, so so much! And I can picture the Scrooge jumping out of a plane so clearly, it scares me. P.S. You should have heard me laugh when you suggested giving up reading for a year. A few hours, maybe. A year? Never.

PS the word is "much", i know that ;)

OK, "a few days" are over. the D-land is not the same without you. besides, i've read almost every entry. well... yeah, almost. i hope it's not going to take muck longer- doing what you're doing there... come back! or no more milk for you!!!

Sorry about the delay: there was a bit of diary swapping on my part, and then some homework... well, it's only a few days late. So. Um, yeah, your review's finally up at http://diaryreviews.diaryland.com/seastreet.html, and that's basically it. ~Vicky

from floodtide :
Jesus Christ do you have a lot of notes! I'm feeling very inferior... Anyway, I just sent you a long e-mail, answers to your Shakespeare questions. But my computer, or diaryland (or both of them) is/are doing something weird, so I couldn't tell if it got sent or not. Let me know. And until we've talked, take Harold Bloom with an entire box of Morton's. Smooches, gwm

from vampodrama :
you're reading Jaan Kross? *shudders* nightmare memories from highschool when the required-reading-lists were crammed with his books.
from kstarr :
I DON'T HAVE YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS FOOLASS! xox.
from vampodrama :
I was just surprised. I met another american guy some weeks ago who had moved to Estonia. It's getting a bit epidemic, that's all... ;) and I have to admit this country is kinda neat, or at least Tallinn is. the rest of it is slightly less neat. and I'm not down. it was a schock I was going through. glad you're liking it here though. :)
from kstarr :
pleased to be sending me a postcard and failing that an email [kstarr@sketchyfriends.com] rock those estonian shoes.
from vampodrama :
what's the deal with everyone moving to Estonia these days??? don't get me wrong, but this country is worth, like, nothing. I know. I'm a native.
from hucksterfinn :
smooch! hope all is well.
from saucy-carbon :
You're back... in pog-form :-) Anxiously awaiting the next installment of the Estonian chronicles.

hey sweetling...word around the campfire is that you've already made your stopover in vienna, and may, as we speak, we in your apartment overlooking the sea...fare on well, little monkey. don't you dare disappear. miss you already.

dear seastreet, I wish I had a degree in the history of science. frank ought to inspire awe this easily more often. what is the picture on your diary?
from fulminous :
If you forget any of us, I'm going to track you down and punch you *really* hard in the arm. Many times. With no punch-backs. Good lord, I feel like you're Dorothy leaving Oz.
from jcruelty :
estonia or florida. damnnn. what does your dad do? is he a diplomat of some stripe? also, i have to stand up for the avclub movie reviewers, whom i like. the last line of their review of "jingle all the way" : "If there is a bottom of the Hollywood barrel, Jingle All The Way has been gleaned from the filth upon which that bottom rests."

Hey, you're right about the Holodeck map thing. I've seen that before and never caught the error.
from blueapple :
Consider the good waiterly vibes sent. Oh, and try not to hover *too* much...
from gwenllian :
Hey, man. It's all about the fucking when you're a 30-year-old woman whose body is suffering from Nature's programming, wired to kick in at about 30 so she'll reproduce as much as possible before she can't anymore. When I'm fucking, I think about fucking. I don't think about it when I'm at the grocery store, elevator, watching Star Trek, or... what was that other thing? Does that mean I'm a freak? Great. Something new to obsess over. Just kidding.
from fulminous :
I may be old, but I can still kick your ass.
from shivery :
glad to hear you're sticking around, me glamor-photo-puss! huzzah!
from gwenllian :
I like your new look. Definitely.
from kstarr :
if it is ayyyokay i am adding you to my aim contact list of kicks.
from hucksterfinn :
no going. only staying. you know what? i like the royal tenenbaums and em dashes too. who knew?
from blueapple :
Oh, dear...Nimoy poetry is truly the stuff of nightmares, isn't it?
from saucy-carbon :
How do you cope with the parts of The Royal Tennenbaums in which the repugnant Owen Wilson appears? Tell me, how you have survived. Everyone I've seen look upon the face of the wretched bastard had their hair fall out and their eyes shrivel away to nothingness. In related news; I hate Owen Wilson.
from kstarr :
oh rage!!! keep on with that! ar!
from warrenpeace :
Thanks for the Birthday wishes. I guess you noticed I had added you to my favs list. One bored night I went into my profile and clicked on 'Philip Glass' and there you were. And looking for this note option I see 'Brazil' in your movies list! I just bought the dvd last week. That film was a serious influence on a bitter teenage me. Crazy title song gets in my head for days.
from blue-candy-b :
Thank you for joining the diabetic diaryring :-)
from mrcadbury :
Hey, Seastreet... Right, I tried to e-mail you about your wee note - but then the bastardy thing bounced on me! I was just pissed off, that's all... No melodramatic moments were had, but thank you for the concern anyway!

only 4.5 billion more years and it (The Sun) will go away...and how! :)

that's because i rock. naturally!
from shivery :
ooyyyyyyyy petunia! congratulations! yeeha!
from mrcadbury :
I had that, that horrible twitching thing. I got it bad in my left eyelid. It was a vague Evil Dead 2 moment - the evil got into my eyelid, so I rubbed it and rubbed it and rubbed it and would it go away? Would it buggery. It's away now; after about 2 months of it... Hmm... Note to self : Never play Unreal Tournament Hardcore Instagib solidly for 2 months again.
from saucy-carbon :
A living, breathing HEM. I salute you. As for the diary: boootylicious, my good man...bootylicious.
from mrcadbury :
Sorry! What I meant to say is that it's NOT too late to renounce your locking-diary ways... "It's too late..." indeed.
from mrcadbury :
Oh, and ta for the note explaining THAT it was you with the OTHER note. Anonymous notes always leave me in state. So much so I can't sleep for them... Or perhaps not...
from mrcadbury :
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Locked diary shenanigans! Seastreet - you are straying from the path of righteousness, my friend! It's too late to renounce your locking-diary ways!

Excellent upkeep of your life. . . and sorry to hear you were running low during the graduation ceremony. Thank goodness you didn't pass out up there. Take care, be well. Have a great summer. . .
from dana-elayne :
Oh good lawd, what is it about age that makes people think that they can say whatever? My Nana does it too. I know that I probably wasn't supposed to laugh aloud at your last entry but honestly, I couldn't help it. Ahhhh, family if they don't kill you or you don't kill them I guess you're stuck with them.
from mrcadbury :
Fantastic! I wish my gran was like that; she'd get into all sorts of cringeworthy but laugh-inducing-but-not-at-the-time antics. Going down to the shop for some milk : "I say there, shopkeeper, are YOU a naturalized citizen? No? Then to hell with your lactose!". On the bus : "Driver, you aren't one of those immigrants, are you? Coming over here, driving our buses, polluting our air with your foreign exhaust fumes. Pah! I'll walk! I'd rather risk a 4th hip replacement than get on your former colonial bus." Seastreet; just reading that first little bit of that entry made me smile... I did a little rant about Americans, by the way... Just as you requested. Cheerio!
from shivery :
ah, petunia. you do make me giggle. and i think that slc consumes more than a small country's worth of camels. i think we're definitely looking at some figure hovering higher than new zealand.
