guns:
the first time i shot a gun was camping with my father. it was a revolver. we made little targets which, in retrospect, were really sick. they had houses and suns and trees and clouds and birds and puppydogs and people on them, on construction paper. each had a point value. of course, we couldn't even hit the target, at 10 years old, but...

I haven't be out to a range in years, but I seem to remember liking the kick on our old 30odd6, bigbaddaboom.

You shall beguille them in the interview I just know it, and if not they are heartless bastards bereft of even the smallest part of a soul which all things share, so you wouldn't like working for them. biggrin

Tell you what, you get your camera and I'll get a camera and we can do online yoga classes;..... y'know that ain't a halfbaked idea.

Have fun in your steel wool scrubathon shower.

i wish that the voice over the shoulder would be my grandma finally explaining that she wears depends, and we hug and walk into the night, when we get home she calls me leroy and gives me fifty dollars, as she walks out the door she turns and says "oh-no" i say "what" "i just shat my new diaper" i tell here its okay and give her back the fifty dollars so she can buy more.......

i have a job interview on wednesday, and i'm so nervous! i just dyed my hair, and it's blueblack. like the blue is see-able. grrrr. i didn't think it would end up this color. i'll probably wash it and see if it fades a little. it looks good, though. and i'm so perfectly qualified for the job. it's a light admin position at a personal...

oh well, you don't need a masters degree to be smart and deserve the job. Thesis writing in undergrad... wow. I'm glad I don't have to write one. Heh.
pip:
I promise no limerick from me. The only thing wrong with yours was calling me hip. Limericks are dangerous, aren't they?

Anyway it will take about a couple of days for you to get your poem. I want to take my time and do it right. No more of this rushing just have posted that very instant.

Good luck with the interview! They be stupid to not hire you.

the sky turns such an interesting color at summer twilight. the very edges turn white-blue, that color that people pain their walls when they want them to look white, but not actually be white. it's bright enough that it's hard to tell exactly what color it is at all, because there are blobs of very pastel pink and yellow and green all over, the eyes...

you, and your lovely words... you're at it again. i'm a Mei's-journal-holic, due to the addicting and inspiring prose found within, like Delirium and Dream worked together in your mind.

in retrospect, what i just said sounds really warped.

Mei=visions
stickyrice:
OK. I can consider working up a new journal entry, now that you've visited. smile It wasn't going to happen until.

"Flatterer ... " Guilty as charged, I guess! But you see just enough differently than I do to make me gleeful about reading you.

It's like when someone picks up a bone from your plate, says, "You missed this," and bites into the meat left on it.

Or like when you cover one eye with your hand, check the view, then cover the other eye to do the same -- and find what a difference the inches between two eyes can make.

Or maybe it's like something else, Miss Luna Moth. biggrin

I dislike the noisy boards as a forum for talking about anything that matters, so I figured I'd throw in my half-cent about drunken kissing here.

Having been on most sides of the experience several times in life -- I've been drunken kisser, drunken kissee, and I've been the significant other of the drunken kisser and the drunken kissee -- I'd probably tell him, especially if it's bothering you not to. Things like this happen after a few drinks.

As a man, when I've been told about the event later by my girl, I've been touched ... this more than anything else ... by the fact that she felt it was big enough to mention. As if even the appearance of unfaithfulness, or the slightest fear of hurting me (should I be told by someone else) was something that must be dealt with up front.

Of course a lot of it -- most of it -- has to do with your relationship with the boy. I've also been in situations where the person doing the "drunken, irresponsible, meant-nothing" kissing ... whether it was me or her ... was really doing something he or she would like to be doing on a regular basis, because of less than complete happiness with the current partner. I think a person has to pick that up from other cues, within himself/herself and by signals from the other person. They're hard to miss.

The above may be 1.5 cents worth. smile

i went to the nude beach today. there are so many different kinds of people there, and it's awesome! there were three deeply mahogony colored men, maybe mid 40s, in baseball caps and sunglasses and nothing else. one of them had a big belly, but they were all in ok shape. they looked like they went there often. there was a pale man and his...

I wish I could construct things out of bits and pieces and use my magic to beguille them into reality too but it only works on people. Often only on folks with a little magic of their own, which is how I like it anyways. biggrin

Sounds like you're enjoying some good solid, you time. yay. Nudity makes me smile and blush especially when it's my own, I feel so free and so goofy at the same time. Even goofier than normal and that's quite the statement.
foucault:
I've been trying to work myself up to going to the nude beach in Vancouver. The weird thing about beaches in Vancouver is that people never swim. I'd never imagined that people would go to beaches and not swim until I ran off to school there.
Anyway, I'm really comfortable being naked around other people. I did stand on a downtown vancouver streat corner naked for a "we'd rather go naked than wear fur" protest, after all (www.veganvoices.com). But I feel a bit squeamish about seeing other people naked sometimes. Well, more specifically, men. I just lack a context for male nudity because I'm not a man and I don't consider them to be objects of desire either. And they're kind of funny looking. But I'm working on it. We'll see. I won't be anywhere near that beach until August, and hopefully by then I'll have worked it out.

y'know, there are a few things to be said for being jobless. it sucks to be worrying about where rent will come from, and how food will happen, but i'm laying on my back porch in the sun right now, instead of just getting home from work and thinking about what i want to have for dinner. so that's a good thing.. i'm going to...

I wish my brokeness and joblessness was so utopian. Please enjoy enough for me too!
I packed up more stuff today. Books. aargh. I think that I shall start sending stuff into purgatory / storage soon, and give my two months notice to landlord tomorrow. shluff shluff shluff.
Portland would be neato keen. I might head over there once I finish chapter two -- I'm heading to Boulder to visit best friend in July or August. ho hum. I want to be assured of a job, or at least on class before I go anywhere. nuts.
It would be so ultra keen if you read my first chapter. No one has escept my advisor. I thinks it is fun. And not too dry.
Listen, KittyKat, have you read Nightwood??? That oughta be a first on your summer reading list, says I.
Try to eat some watermelon, too. and have either a seed spitting contest or a rind fight.
Back to Adorno and Horkheimer. They are calling me with their little teutonic accents.

i drank so much at a cocktail party last night.. rum and coke is really dangerous. i was a tremendous flirt.. trying really hard to get a girl to smooch with me, but alas, i was unsuccessful. also said some things i probably shouldn't have, but oh well. my hangover is going away. the best part, though, was that there was a fire - it...

silly girl - she missed out....

yea.....I think there is a big difference in where your heart and your libido may lie as to gender and I see nothing wrong with nurturing both...
jnthn:
as I learned last summer: get dumb on the rum!

I tend to think that nothing happens when you're drunk that you wouldn't want, deep down, to happen anyway. allow for exceptions under specific cercumstances. but at the same time, love and libido aren't always running hand-in-hand -- it's stellar when they do, but you can't count on it.

regardless, and quoting, well, a movie, HAVE A GOOD TIME ALL THE TIME. you figure out what that means to you.

our card was declined today. we have $14 and no prospects. probably we'll either move back in with my parents or my boy will join the military. i have a bunch of jobs to apply for and absolutely no hope that i'll get any of them. i have this strange feeling as though i've stepped out of my body and i'm looking at myself, thinking...

.. thanks for your tips on the hair dye!! i have tried that brand and it worked really well.
... i hope you are feeling a little happier today!! smile .. when i am feeling really sorry for myself i just compare my life to people in Iraq at the moment.. some of them have had their entire familys killed and houses and everything totally demolished.. soo sad! .. it makes me feel stupid for feeling as though my life is bad!
kiss
r_dominique:
you're not pathetic... you're just having a rough time. lots of people all over the place are in the exact same boat as you, due to this stupid economic slowdown.

it's not your fault. as for moving back in with the rents, take it in stride. sometimes you just do what you have to do in order to get by. jst don't forget to take care of yourself while you're at it... or you will go crazy.

i'm a tipsy mei right now. rum and coke is great. i'm in bed, with the laptop, getting woozily ready to sleep. how nice.

did some yardwork today.. weed whacking the chest-high grass in the backyard. that'd be a good set, if i could somehow weed-whack my clothes off without doing serious damage to myself in the process.

we're planning on going to sauvie island...

Hey. I bartended at a big Rum festival last night. If I never smell rum again, It'd be a-ok. I also stole big Sailor Jerry posters and t-shirts.

i feel quite a lot better now.. time helps. i still don't have any way to pay the bills, but oh well. i'm going to dye my hair and try dressing slightly more conservatively - once i get the job, i can settle in. i wish that it wasn't so stressful - it prevents me from effectively working on other things, even when i'm not...

worrying about money absolutely sucks. it is the root of all my stress right now.

i think of people watching like this... they look distant because each one is moving in his her her own little world, thiking abou the rest oftheir life. when you see them on the street you see people in transition, to home, or work, or play, or task, the point being that it's only the barest sliver of their existence.
