from fallredapple :
congrats on the engagement...and the house! i would feel so adult if i was engaged and a homeowner....hope it all continues to go well!
from boombasticat :
Good to hear from you again. I hope your black friend liked the music. You can tell him your white internet friend liked it, if that helps.
from boombasticat :
Great list. Welcome back.
from boombasticat :
Your diaries was one of my favorites. You writing anywhere else?
from slmnymph :
hi. you dont know me, but i have been reading your diary and I find it interesting. thank you for sharing and good luck in your life and future endeavors.
from boombasticat :
I'm thinking about printing out those pictures of haircuts. My favorite is probably The Perfecto. Although The Private Eye is a close second.
from boombasticat :
Sometimes when I'd go to indie shows, I'd look in the mirror and wonder what my brothers (sports bar guys most of the time) would think of my dark jeans and tight T-shirt. Same thing when I go to sports bars, what if I ran into the cool girl I met? I think what helped all this was when, not long ago, I was at an art opening and I said to my friend I felt underdressed. He looked at his sneakers and jean shorts and said, "I don't care about that." And that sort of helped.
from boombasticat :
Thanks. Smells are big ones, aren't they? They seem to tie whole memories together, in an instant.
from boombasticat :
I hope the tide is, indeed, right.
from boombasticat :
No, I've never made a Christmas mix or anything, although I'm making regular mix CDs for my older brother and sister-in-law. I feel like they could use some new ideas about music. And, yes, the Charlie Brown stuff is great. I have a friend who, every year, listens to it once a night for the month of December.
from boombasticat :
Thanks for the link. After bidding on the same model of camera ten different times and losing every time in the last thirty seconds, I think I'll stick with what I have. eBay a-making me angry. Actually, it's just plain, cold-hearted commerce, isn't it? Seems like a pretty good way to sell stuff and if I had anything valuable, maybe I'd do it, too.
from blulinepaper :
Did you notice that the sign was a "Grunt Crossing" sign? I promptly went home and played Halo 2 for many hours.
from boombasticat :
I, too, am a big fan of your hardcore entry. I don't think Henry Rollins would even mess with eBay, do you? If he wanted the complete The Electric Company on VHS, for example, he'd go out and get it done, don't you think? Henry Rollins would not bid!
from why-oh-why :
I enjoyed your entry "Being hardcore" and referenced it in my latest entry. It inspired me; thanks.
from katac0mbs :
on time my friend anne and i tried to start the rumor that the new pope (pope benny) had that surgury that affixes your big toe to where your thumb once was. it worked with some people, but not with enough. you should look at his thumbs if you ever get a chance, it was a belivable story. I would have loved to have gone down in history for that one.
from katac0mbs :
so email me at hotmail...(cause people are being weird, so i don't want them to know where i am going to) also my computer is being all screwy and this is the third time i have tried to write this, so i am no longer attempting witty banter...
from katac0mbs :
that is my new favorite of all time song...they are touring this spring and i can't wait to see them.
from katac0mbs :
i am glad that someone else feels the same way about christmas as I do... i am so sick of getting stuff and making lists that I honestly asked for a spatula and a flour sifter this year and socks, its all I could come up with that I really even kind of needed
from fallredapple :
i don't really touch anyone i know either...but i've never really noticed it as a problem...i don't think it is anyway. i touch the people i want to touch and leave the rest alone, which is the vast majority. perhaps people are less inclined to touch anyone cuz of the whole sexual harassment thing that was rammed down our throats for a good while. or maybe you're just not a touchy person.
from katac0mbs :
i used to feel real awkward about touching people too, i have found that beer and working in a small space with lots of people has made it a lot easier to do and has made it feel more natural
from revisions :
well said...
from fredthebear :
I would say, generally, yes. But, then again, I'm 20 years old and think I know more than I do, so, take it for what you will.
from rainforme :
bah, evolution is just as fairy-magic induced as creation. where did that first magical spark come from in the primordial soup?
from katac0mbs :
i'm convinced you have been kidnapped by midget porn stars. if your ransom has anything to do with sock puppets or drinking i may be able to help.
from rainforme :
much luck and well wishes on your move.
from fredthebear :
out of extreme curiosity, what are you going to graduate school for?
from blulinepaper :
Good question, man. You made me use my brain during the work day. That was unexpected. Realistically I wouldn't think it always has to be sexual. It can definately have a more innocent connation. I pretty sure I've used it that way in that past. However, for purposes of perpetuating my own fantasies, that Mid totally wanted my body.
from vithle :
Watched "Mystic River" and liked it too. I enjoyed reading your entry about skin pigments which somehow makes me think of pigs. Bananas make me think of monkeys. Anyway, as I would always say, "There are some things in this world that I will never understand no matter how hard I try to understand." This applies to the do-dos that can't see the forest for the trees.
from walkingxby :
funny..i was going to rent that movie today, but they were out of it. whats your name?
from walkingxby :
i think i might love you.
from swisscanuck :
Hello - you amuse me. Thanks for that :) I read your answers to that survery about Einstein and Hitler and all that, and I liked it. Ya, that's it. Have a nice day (seriously. Not in the little yellow happy face sense.)
from fallredapple :
i never really thought about the bird thing that much. but you (and your friend) make a good point. i also don't slow down for birds, but i think that has more to do with my previous experiences with birds flying in front of my car. they've never gotten hit yet so i assume they're smart enough to get out of the way. maybe they're playing chicken or something...?
from halfsaid :
you don't like the new modest mouse? have you listened to it at least ten times yet? then you'll see.
from vithle :
I enjoy reading about your life. I do the tub of ice cream thing too.
from invisibledon :
thanks for visiting
from fallredapple :
first off, what's wrong with your haircut? i'm sure it's just fine...and if not...you're a guy, just shave it off, it'll look good that way too. anyway...about disappearing...the problem is (i think) if you disappear it's rather permanent. if you go, you're gone. otherwise it's like the boy who cried wolf kinda deal. make sense? it's late. assuming that does make sense to you...as much as you'd like to skip the inane conversations, pretty much all conversations are inane if you really stop and think about it. so, if you're going to play along in the game of life, you're gonna have to listen to some guy ramble on about dropping a chip on the floor and eating it or some girl tell you about how badly they did her nails the other day. hopefully neither of us really has people that talk about stuff that's *that* dumb in our lives, but i think if you want to participate at all in society then you've gotta take the bad with the good. unless there is no good to be found in participating in society....but we've got no choice now have we. and i end my inane rambling.....now. night :)
from rainforme :
i like your diary. that shake it like a baby entry made me laugh. thanks.
from fallredapple :
i would totally lick her spoons, but she doesn't live near me anymore :( instead i'll just have to suffer the life of a relatively healthy person. maybe i'll catch something else if i'm lucky.
from anti-gens :
who are you?
from fallredapple :
sure can't beat your weekend. especially since you got to drive standard. ;) i would've just forced them to share their milk with me. unless either of them has a cold or some sort of unpleasant disease. i mean, why didn't *they* just share a glass and let you have the other? only make sense, i'm sure they've shared lots more than milk before.
from fallredapple :
happy easter :) (unless you're lactose intolerant or don't like chocolate) or happy sunday :)
from katac0mbs :
the great thing about the last enrty that i wrote is that i was so drunk i didn't even know i had been on the computer until i got an email that i had a new note.... thanks
from fallredapple :
k, just checking. it was worth the wait ;)
from fallredapple :
was that THE toothbrush entry?
from sewer-rat :
What about those genderfuck commercials? Like the one with the truck full of guys who are all uncomfortable because one of them is singing along to Shania Twain. Or those ads where the woman tells the little kid about how cool their new car is because it has a TV and it's comfortable, and the father gets all pissed and says, "what are you DOING to him? All he needs to know about this car is that it has a HEMI." As if hearing about any other aspect of the car would, heaven forbid, turn the kid *gay.* And so many commercials feature balding men who can't wipe their own ass until their attractive superwoman wife comes to save them. It's so patronizing.
from fallredapple :
glad to hear you're so happy :) congratulations about the interview. and i enjoy messages from people when they're drunk; keep it up. :) (degenerates or degrades, your pick)
from fallredapple :
umm yeah. for no reason other than that you were talking about rock paper scissors, a radio station up here (the edge) just had a 48hr long game of rock paper scissors. the winner had 12000 something wins. the person with the least wins has 7000something. like you care. i'm just rambling....
from katac0mbs :
doesn't the game just go rock, then paper, then scissors? that is how I always play and I have a fairly high success rate...except that now that you know my strategy we will never be able to rock paper scissors together.
from fallredapple :
no, seriously! what about the toothbrush?? ;)
from fallredapple :
i'm not sure i can forgive the toothbrush thing. i've been on tenterhooks waiting for the past few days.
from fallredapple :
i'm glad you understood 90%...maybe that means i translated it right :) a homologue is a member of a pair of homologous chromosomes.....and homologies are similarities in dna or protein sequences between individuals of the same species or among different species. basically, if you have a homology between two things, it shows commonality and perhaps a shared ancestry. make any more sense now? i hope :) but you did happen to pick out a word from one of the few sentences i'm still not happy with....
from bexx :
yeah....Modest Mouse.....I am so disappointed! What the hell has gotten into them? Well...they need their money...and Isaac is so fucking brillant too. I hope that Ugly Cas puts out another soon.-BeXx
from roboretard :
i have always wondered about the fat people thing (seeing yourself from the neck down on something along the lines of, "america is too fat"). especially on the local channels. they always have segments on fat america. i wouldn't mind seeing myself on there. in fact, i'd get fatter in hopes of being on tv again.
from satellitebob :
my knickles have gotten better, but I do have bitchin' scars now.
from onewetleg :
my father's underwear drawer? sheesh. how old do i come across in this thing? i am trying to visualize the tighty-whitey halter-top thingy. i have a couple of pairs left-over from my cross-dressing days. did i use enough hyphens, did i? i just re-read (-) the harsh note i left you when you took my survey. wow. i'm a bitch. love,
from fallredapple :
...sigh. if everything i did weren't a case of massive procrastination...i thought this might interest you, cuz you like a little risk ;) http://design.hiptobeasquare.com/get.php?template=risk
from onewetleg :
thank you for taking my one question survey. some of your answers were good. some seemed like broad generalizations. 'damn the man. give it back to the people. your store probably has a 30% mark up anyway.' i work for a charity. everything i sell goes to the people. but you couldn't have known that. when my reg is short, i have to pay it back out of my check. but you couldn't have known that either. it's tempting to take the money from the poor girl at the register. but did you ever think that maybe she could lose her job over it? how is that giving it back to the man? well, that's my 2 cents. thanks again for taking the survey. have you lived in the uk all your life or are you from somewhere else? i guess i will have to read your diary now. oh, and i am tons of sarcastic but i don't shave my legs. do you? :) love,
from fallredapple :
you sure made me blush, and i don't even know your name.
from kama-suture :
plus, i think its a lot healthier than pumping myself full of mood-altering prescription drugs.
from vithle :
Making the world better at a small scale.... not bad actually.
from sewer-rat :
haha no. Normally I would have been suspicious, because old guys seem to like me. But this guy had this really innocent look in his eyes like he would never hit on anyone. Either that or he was a virgin so he turned to religion to feel better about it or something.
from fallredapple :
lol, that's great :) and wow, math. ahem. i could never. that's the only subject i ever dropped in high school....i only went from french studies to translation, minor in sociology, & certificate in law & social thought, so not quite so many changes ;) thanks :)
from fallredapple :
problem being...i enjoy superfluousness. lol. it's late. that reads like super flu us ness to me. sorry. focus. i don't like looking at life as money made, money lost, gained productivity, wasted time. that's not the point. i went to school cuz i wanted to learn. i sound like a geek i'm sure, but i did. i want to know about everything. and now i just don't care. it's about the money and it's about me following the rules. and i don't care for either. but still, i'm not studying towards a job. i meant to write before: i know what you mean about commenting about a car and just wanting it to be left as commenting about a nice car. it'd be good if ppl didn't push and let you be who you want to be. might i ask a question? what *did* you study at school? i'm just wondering....
from sarahford :
pfft.not even.
from sarahford :
Holy shit.I don't actually know you,but 'Guns,germs,and steel' is one of my favorite books ever.EVER.
from sewer-rat :
yeah it's cool. I would really like to see my mom stoned. I was actually going to siggest that I smoke her up after I get a job and don't have to worry about drug tests, but I won't be able to afford really good stuff for a while, and I had about a bowl's worth left but I lost it in my room somewhere. Then earlier today I pulled a sock out of my clean laundry bag and put my foot inside and felt plastic, and my pot was inside. So it went through the wash. haha that tape measure thing sounds like something I would get excited about. Do you see your dad stoned a lot or is he really secretive about it?
from tear-fucked :
I find you extremely presumptuous. It's good stuff. And a tip for the future:black isn't a race, so go ahead and call them niggers when they fit the description(obnoxious AND stupid AND brown AND poor). Just don't call a black person a nigger unless they really ARE a nigger. Those chicks were niggers, definately.
from bexx :
fuck yeah does Modest Mouse fucking rule! -BeXx
from keepthinking :
here's an edison link that shows what a creep he is (via dirtynerdluv.org): http://pullquote.typepad.com/pullquote/2004/02/the_wizard_of_m.html also, if you check out the top line of your keyboard, you'll notice that all the letters to the word "typewriter" are there. this was so typewriter salesmen could type out that word quickly to show how fast and easy typing could be.
from fallredapple :
thank you :) i could never write out those lists; i'd never know what to include or exclude. i would've started with animals too. and another question....what colour squirrel? lol i must sound so stupid. i have so many comments about what you write, but i'll refrain.
from fallredapple :
sorry, you're going to hate me for all my notes. why'd you choose to list animals you've seen?
from fallredapple :
i am very jealous you've seen a moose. i live in the great white north and the closest i've gotten to seeing a moose is white-tailed deer and the sick bears at a garbage dump. and....what about the translator's name? they wrote the book over again so you could read it....sorry. i'll shut up now.
from fallredapple :
i hate lists. i don't like making them, and i really don't like being on other people's "to do" lists. that sounds bad. i wouldn't make a list cuz i'd start qualifying my entries and know i'd forgotten stuff and, what you said - it's so absolute. nothing in life is absolute. maybe if you only saw stuff in black and white it would all be simpler though. but how boring.
from sewer-rat :
I thought the list of animals was very interesting. I make lists all the time. Or at least I write things down on scraps of paper which become meaningless to me later but I still won't throw them away. But making a list of all the animals I've seen in the flesh would intimidate me. When we're really stoned my friend and i like to make lists like, "My top 5 favorite foods" and compare them when we're done. Or we think of somehting like band names, and we take turns naming one band for each letter of the alphabet. We're really dumb.
from fallredapple :
i worked at an optometrist's office for a while and that machine with the field actually figures out roughly what your prescription is. it goes in and out of focus cuz that would be me looking at your eyes and moving the dials trying to get my side focussed and smack dab on the centre of your iris. and....-7.00 isn't too bad...i saw someone who was -25.00. but i understand hating not seeing clearly w/o your contacts. me too.
from funwithclay :
if you are into germs, read the plague by albert camus. by the way, the shins are great mountain driving music.
from keepthinking :
the downside to beards is that they are kind of itchy. also,you can italicize something by putting italic tags around it. <i>like this.</i> you just put them in your entry, and they won't show up on the finished page. there's a bunch of other style tags like bold or underline. learn all about it: http://members.diaryland.com/edit/faq/html.phtml http://www.cwru.edu/help/introHTML/toc.html
from sewer-rat :
My relatives are always asking me what my friends and I are doing with our lives too. So one time I started telling everyone about Jeremy, who's 23, lives with his parents, works at Taco Bell, is an alcoholic, and doesn't have a driver's license. Now they leave me alone for the most part.
from fallredapple :
thanks for your optimism and philosophical take on my awkward situation lol...but likely, i will stare at the ground whenever i see him now, and my face will turn red. i'm really pretty shy, and this probably worsens my invisible tendencies...but..maybe you're right :)
from fallredapple :
you're so funny...anyway, to do italics you put this: <i> at the beginning of what you want italicized, and </i> at the end. for bolding it's <b> and </b>, and underlining, <u> </u>. maybe helpful?
from sewer-rat :
I used to work at a gas station and we were always out of the One sweet Whirled flavor, which is my favorite. And I used to hide the Doritos and cheese dip so no one would buy them. I also used to hide certain cartons of cigarettes so I could say we were out of them to the customers and I wouldn't have to stock them. But someone kept putting them back on the shelf.
from sewer-rat :
I've driven that much for a burrito too. And a candy bar... and a coffee... and a sandwich and fruit leather... and ben & jerrys.
from vrian :
listen to the paper chase
from wiley381 :
I dig your answers on the America survey. Question though: do you really think the US is a melting pot, or more like a tossed salad with individual parts all put together? Just a thought.
from sianni :
Thanks for filling in my survey :) Ill get around to reading some of your diary when <i return to <sydney and get off these weird foreign keyboards and time-limited internet cafes! :)
from fallredapple :
i'll sit on the fence like a good canadian and reply that i think coleridge was in an opium-induced sleep. but i definitely think there were some drugs involved. and congratulations to you on 'team ram-rod''s halo victory :)
from fallredapple :
while procrastinating i found this: http://www.cbc.ca/stories/2004/01/21/sleep_mem040121 which i thought went along well with your dream from a few weeks back. just proving your point.
from specialness :
i just stumbled upon your stuff, and i read your profile and your favorite your favorite music you have t(i)nc (as do i) and "the refused." they're both kick ass, but it's just refused...no the. i really enjoyed your writing though.
from fallredapple :
lol, your state of the union entry said almost exactly what i would've written if i had've had the energy to be that angry. i'm guessing the cocksucking starting during the clinton administration ;) and i completely agree with you about the sex ed. stuff from the other day. we've got problems too, it's just too cold to protest about anything for too long...and we don't really care if ppl smoke pot or if they're gay and want to get married (least i don't)....anyway. i enjoyed :)
from katac0mbs :
i am just that precise and awesome to pour the milk in first. in regards to not showering and not doing laundry the thing that always works for me is not using shampoo in my hair... everytime I run out and am too lazy to buy more and just rinse my hair in the shower I get hit on....so i suggest it.
from fallredapple :
i'm not sure, but my guess is it's natural response to see everything in slow motion when it comes to accidents. someone did half a U-turn 10ft in front of me once, blocking my driving path, & i don't remember much other than looking over at one point while making an abrupt 90 degree turn to avoid T-boning them & seeing that if i didn't steer even further left i was still going to hit them. it was all really slow it seemed but there was no thought involved on my part to avoid the crash, just instincts. ahem, sorry for the long and pointless msg. i suck at these lol.
from wiley381 :
Rues eh? Well, guilt and remorse were the last things I was looking for. You made a dashing attempt at guessing the right answer I must say, and your answers were almost witty though incorrect. The child, whom you killed, was Beethoven (to me a far greater loss than Einstein). The first two candidates you had mixed up - first F.D.R., then Churchill. You did, however, have Hitler right. Strange how our country knows more about its enemies than its heroes. American Iconoclasm at work.
from fallredapple :
that's a fantastic idea for a sliders episode! i wonder why they never thought of it before.....and i think you've just expressed what most ppl think about that stupid spanking new video clip. er, or maybe just me. and you. i'll stop now.
from fallredapple :
:) thanks :) and don't feel mediocre, i told the truth about something at work and my boss didn't believe me and because of that wrote on my report that i never took responsibility for my actions. it's only work anyway. and you make me laugh. good luck with louie anderson dying lol....
from fallredapple :
i don't quite get the cutting as control idea....explain some more please? are you saying that it's the only tangible manifestation of control people think they have and that's why they do it? or am i a lost puppy and completely missed what you were saying? help? please? i'd appreciate it.... :)
from fallredapple :
you are the person, and i do like you ;) yeah, so i can't think of anything to say right now, i'm terrible at leaving msgs, but...thanks :) and i agree with you about turning us into production line people, and i looked up those lyrics, and they were really good. i get it.
from sarahford :
No. Really. Who are you?
from cloev :
Hi there.... just discovered your diary today- keep it up!! :-) I think you write really well. Have a nice day! Clare
from keepthinking :
as i remember from my drivers ed days, the only time a left turn on red is legal is when both of the intersected streets are one way. i have yet to encounter a traffic light on a street like this, but who knows, maybe they're out there.
from sarahford :
HI. who are you? I'm sarah. Nice to meet you.
from sewer-rat :
my car has a jesus fish on it. at least, it did. then when i noticed it was there I pried it off with a crewdriver but the outline is still there.
