ya know I admited your perspective so much that I went home and threw away all my old ugly cotton panties? Yup your a revolutionary leader and just never knew it. I'll spred the message.

from knock-first :

funny how something you wrote two years ago and have probably forgotten about by now made me laugh just today. What power words have to immortalize the spirit! I havent really written in years myself. But I hope your somewhere making people laugh. Let me know where that might be.

from raven72d :

Do write soon...

from raven72d :

iPod... ippud! ippud! ippid! I like that... Camel cashmere is good... Choosing not to wear underwear is even better... And let me know where the new journal will me...

from raven72d :

Are lomo cameras related to pixelvision?

from raven72d :

Happy Doraemon Graduation!

from raven72d :

Exactly.

from raven72d :

Yay, iPod Shuffle! Yay, Studio Ghibli Medium-Sized Robots!

from raven72d :

I wanted to be a spy, actually. Went through the whole interview process but, ummmm, failed the polygraph. Apparently my version of Things To Do In The 80s wasn't theirs... Oops. But I love the Swiss Army Memory 128... And what I meant was...could the Bunny be fitted on/through lingerie?

from raven72d :

The British military bans iPods from its bases, lest someone download secret info onto an iPod... I wonder now-- you could be a spy with just your Swiss Army Cybertool, right?

from raven72d :

Hmmm... Is the bunny lingerie-friendly? I plan to have my corpse put in a box, gift-wrapped, and mailed to a name chosen at random from a phone book in a different city ("You Have Won A Valuable Prize!")...

from raven72d :

Lortabs are excellent...

from raven72d :

I keep hearing "California Dreaming" i my head.

from pornoviolent :

like, nyu?

from raven72d :

Wuff! Thanks for the b-day note.

from raven72d :

Minderella claims to only be on hiatus. She does respond to email.

from raven72d :

Grad school. At least for a semester or two. It'll be good for you-- give you intellectual space, allow you to live away from NYC and find a new city for a while.

from raven72d :

So what are your plans if you don't do grad school?

from raven72d :

"Before Sunrise" was so brilliant... It brought Vienna back to me.

from raven72d :

Cocktails, Nietzsche and porn-- good mix.

from raven72d :

did you get a box o' ties?

from raven72d :

I love the entries at winglike

from raven72d :

You know-- that was the kind of event I'd like to go to as your date.

from raven72d :

Criticism? No, just... fascinated by all the threads in the story.

from raven72d :

A vur' complex rant...

from raven72d :

I'll have to teach you to tie a tie...

from raven72d :

Aha... the Sinulator has serious possibilities...

from raven72d :

Yummy... I do imagine you in the blazer and buttondown...and nothing else.

from raven72d :

A good black, tailored blazer. Every lovely girl needs one.

from raven72d :

call and tell me about school and books and sight reading...

from raven72d :

this is via my psyduck laptop... welcome back... and congrats on the money from school! call soon...

from mesabrina :

Mmmm. That Onishime sounds good!

from raven72d :

Do visit my 09 February 04 entry, "The Joan Chen Lure"...

from raven72d :

Alan Booth wrote "Roads to Sata" and died young in the early 1990s-- at my own age. I always light a candle and sail out a small paper boat for him at O-Bon.

from raven72d :

I have always liked O-bon as a festival. I first heard of it (yes) via a Pokemon episode, but then read Hearn and Alan Booth on it... I've always wanted to sail out little paper boats with candles to guide spirits home...

from raven72d :

I agree absolutely with your thoughts on dating-- I have zero idea how others do it.

from raven72d :

ne.jp keeps popping up even when you're in NYC rather than Honshu.

from raven72d :

I of course do not believe you're stupid.

from raven72d :

The eel avocado cucumber roll sounds strangely fun. Meanwhile-- call soon. And remember: it's Mimmy rather than Kitty who's the true s/m devotee.

from raven72d :

You *are* a delight!

from raven72d :

Congrats on finishing! Enjoy the sushi... Call soon.

from raven72d :

Ah, cosplay. Thanks. I can see you as a Sailor Scout; I want Roger Smith's suit from "Big O".

from raven72d :

Ummm... what is "cosplay"?

from raven72d :

Ahh...creampuffs! Excellent. (I sound like Homer Simpson) Enjoy the Otaku Mecca... which could be creepy/fun... How's the archery?

from raven72d :

The red-tartan "novelty kilt"...libraries...absinthe...and Hakodate. We must discuss all of these things and link them together...

from raven72d :

A Sanrio-themed love hotel would be...scary. But one in...Gundam theme...would be brilliantly weird. Though-- could you catually have sex in a themed love hotel room? The giggling factor might be way too high.

from raven72d :

Libraries actually are incredibly sexy places...

from raven72d :

I don't know that we ever Get Over the major loves of the past. I still feel anguish over the Evil Dana Lynn eight years later. But in Japan... I so envy you ramen shops...! [There used to be a chain of ramen-- "larmen --restaurants in NYC called Dosanko... They were great...] My own odd goal in Tokyo-- sleep in a capsule hotel.

from raven72d :

I'm not sure that I believe in the One Special Person any more. I mostly hope to find someone that deals well with my eccentricities. I still believe in romance and flirtations and seductions; I've just not expecting a happy ending...

from doogie23 :

Hi I stumbled across your diary today and I found your thoughts on love and your future interesting. Ive been thinking about the pros and cons of being single the rest of my life lately and I dont think id be devastated if that were the case. I think that society makes you believe that its a life not worth living if you are single to make you desire it more. I think its very hard to find someone that can stimulate you everyday for the rest of your life. But i do hope that everyone gets to find that person :D

from raven72d :

The short cut you had back in May is rather fetching.

from raven72d :

Stumbling into bed with a lovely stranger has always been a Good Thing for me... The conversations I've had, a later dreams and stories...all those have been good.

from raven72d :

I'm never good at interviews... It's an odd thing, sitting there with a date. Is she thinking of the evening as an interview or a seduction? What criteria is she using? What do I have to say that she'll find interesting? Dates are always scary... Of course-- you can always order more drinks...

from raven72d :

I've never heard the term "cockblock"... What does it mean? [Note: don't forget the letters...] Dating is hard for me. I think of a date as a seduction ritual, and I'm afraid of upsetting a girl who didn't see it as a prelude and ritual. And I'm so reclusive and hikikomori these days that I don't know how to talk to someone-- a girl --across a table.

from raven72d :

I have a bad tendency to see everything as a competition and to always judge myself against any kind of score... A falling daily site meter average makes me feel like I'm failing somehow.

from raven72d :

I hope you'll send me a Miami postcard!

from raven72d :

A double MA *is* an option...

from raven72d :

What will you do this summer?

from raven72d :

Definitely two-time them. I'm down near New Orleans, but do stay in touch. Drop me an e-mail ("Emil") at my diary name at yahoo point com...

from raven72d :

Media Arts and Philosophy... You can get the MFA and still manage enough Phil hours for a dual Master's...

from raven72d :

I may just do that, should ever I be around Long Island again... Mongol bows fascinate me, as does kyudo as an art form. Chloe Sevigny is utterly delightful... I thoroughly understood why Steve Buscemi wanted her in "Trees Lounge"... If I were a girl, I'd definitely play for the girl-girl team... Death frightens me-- I have no religion, and of course I'm terrified of any experience where I know something bad is happening (which is one reason why I can no longer fly).

from raven72d :

I've never been sure how to think about death. I think the thing that terrifies me is that period where the heart has stopped and you *know* you're not breathing. That knowledge terrifies me more than death itself.

from raven72d :

There is something vur' scary about scheduling your final semesters at university. You have to pretend you know what you want to do with your life... I had zero idea about what to do except stay in grad school 'til I died of old age.

from raven72d :

Chloe Sevigny is hot indeed. And I like it that you do have distinguishing data bits. And I've always wantd to learn both kyudo and the Mongol bow. I hope NYC goes well for you this summer...

from banefulvenus :

I found paradise in koki point... http://banefulvenus.diaryland.com/040503_38.html

from raven72d :

The recurve bow. I think that was the data bit that really intrigued me.

from knock-first :

yup, know how ya feel.

from imperfectlyy :

Ok thought so! Just makin sure. That's why I held my comments back. =) But you know, I've met people on this site that really do think in that sort of...stupid way. Really.

from imperfectlyy :

Surely you just copy/pasted the homosexual marriage thing and meant it to be some sort of ironic sarcasm. It seemed a bit ridiculous, and while I could bitch at you quite a bit, I figured that it MUST be a joke. Each and every single one of those things was so senseless...so I'm being optimistic and hoping that it was sarcasm. Am I right?

from mortifiedone :

I was just wondering, why are your views on homosexuals so horrible? If someone is in love with someone else from the same sex, is that really a problem? Everyone is just looking for someone to love. I'm not gay or anything, but alot of my friends are.

from onesweetyear :

aw bless.....i was like that with onesweetyear...cos my year turned out yo be not so sweet after all lol....and yeah do u know why ...cos i'm fickle too ("_)......so yeah i went to your link "about" and saw ur pic....ur so cute....oh well...I'm glad u like my diary......stay cool and drop by again sometime

from onesweetyear :

lol u have one of those usernames that make ppl think "awwwwwwwwww why did'nt i think of that ",

from meeyapede :

So do like another famous NYC chick and have a wedding to/for yourself- this way you get all the ritual and none of the long term crapola. When I cancelled my own wedding the night before (hah, it's a funny story, trust me) I turned my reception into a family reunion and graduation party in one. Yay! Or, you could marry an immigrant and do a good deed at the same time.

from raven72d :

Fun writing... And I vur' much agree with the procrastination entries...and the commiseration/bonding story.

from anglewings :

Happy Holidays, came across your diary, not bad at all. Latezzzz

from iphigenia :

hey. i understand that whole procrastinate till the last minute thing. i've been doing it my whole life and it helped me graduated w/ honors in the top 10% of my class. lol. i've just started college and have been thinking about philosophy as a major. you sound alot like me...i was wondering, how do you like philosophy? is it really interesting, or just a bunch of bull? lol... i'd really love it if you could answer...my email is [email protected] you're definitely going on my favorites =)

from evilgal :

I found your diary through a banner click and it seems like we're currently obsessing about some of the same stuff. Check out this artical from CNN.com, where they talk about a poll where people our age think adulthood starts at 26!! http://www.cnn.com/2003/HEALTH/parenting/11/02/grown.up.ap/index.html

from odalisk :

I think I agree with you up to a point. I'm starting to get the feeling that the classroom is no longer a place of learning as it is a place of professional display for me...being in grad school, I, too, am getting paid for what I do when I step into a classroom and it's starting to sink in that I'm being paid to behave in a certain manner. I guess I wish that it were more about being supportive, helpful, enlightening, etc., but I don't quite think that's the case. Undergrad is a different matter. And then it's good to remember that you are paying to be stimulated, taught, and taught to be stimulating...

from knock-first :

You don't SOUND incapable, just a little sensitive (like me). It would have really freaked me out an hurt my feelings also if someone had yelled at me like that. I have tried to train myself to laugh at people when they act like that, so that maybe they will see how irrational they are being. For instance, a sarcastic, " a little nervous today arent we?" might have sufficed, but usually you have to snap a little so they know they aren't allowed to be an ass at your expense. It is always hard to think of those things at the time, but I am getting better at it simply by making myself asume those situations will happen and therefore being less shocked when they do. BTW I have been thinking about taking up archery myself. Sounds fun. Will read more later when I have time.
