I have so little to say here right now. Shame, what with this being the one week mark.
I have moth problems. After dark I get moths bigger than two-dollar coins coming through the cracks around my window screen. Siv knows all about this, and then some. Why? Because she seems to be the only person as peculiarly nerdular as myself around here, and sometimes...

I'm back from Meaford! That was the smallest town I've ever gotten out of the car in.
Chickie's holding up well, all things considered. It's hard when you see your mate's employer treating them badly. Also bad is when you feel like you're being handed the shit end of the stick just for being there. Never do anything nice (ie. burn a CD at the...

your post in the "is there any poular music..." thread was awesome and really well written. My thoughts exactly... fuck the coolerthanthous... and your right anyone who wrote off BloodSugarSexMagic is missing out.

Fine, since you goddamn insisted I finish the goddamn story I just goddamn might goddamn finish the goddamn thing in my next goddamn journal entry.
Can you goddamn wait until goddamn Monday?

I could barely get out of bed this morning. Wednesday was softball practice, but yesterday was a softball game. I didn't think I'd be able to run or throw a ball when I got to the field, but I played anyway, didn't feel any real discomfort (except for the simultaneous bursting of my batting blisters), and walked the 2.5km to get home. Then the stiffening...

Aw gee... 
I certainly understand how you feel, however. Well, I for one am going to enjoy every bit of you I possibly can while you're here!! (hmm, that sounded naughty...) And please feel free to email me anytime: marisa@thebeltanepapers.net
I honestly can't remember the last time I broke anything off with someone/something. Things just seem to peter out and fade away with me..........

I've just come home from the Daniel Lanois show and I'm a bit more bummed than I should be, given that it was a good show and when I went to get pizza while waiting for the crowd to clear out, the guy at the pizza place decided I desrved a couple slices on the house.

yes. i did realize that even the most forgiving fan would probably toss their proverbial cookiage when seeing said pics.

wuzzah? amazing disa-rea-ppearing tattoots?
maybe you speakest of the candid pics, in which case, they are highly un-chronological! i only got the chestpiece done this february
i guess it's an amazing punctum which turns the photographic record upside-down and breaks up the linear chronology associated with ordered pictures.
or, i am talking out of my hat. My ass-hat. ;P

Only a handful of us remain. I wonder if I'll ever again find myself a part of such a stimulating community. Probably not; that's why you're only 25 for one year.

Aw, nuts. Well, that's what we had to do, and even with a 25' snake she almost didn't get the thing unclogged. But once it gets cleared, definitely try the bleach once a month for maintenance. Guess I won't be starting my own plumbing consulting business...

Guess I won't be starting my own plumbing consulting business... Wednesday night I saw Hedwig & the Angry Inch: I loved it. I have a thing for rock operas, it seems, but Hedwig really grabbed me.

I'm just finishing up my bachelor's in August, so I am a long way from PhD, but I would like to specialize in ancient philosophy. I have a weakness for Plato and Aristotle, I love them so much. Most likely it will be something with them.

now now now and some hearty lashings of "now." in fact, i even had to move all my shit out of that neato apartment i just found, as we decided that we can't outlive the Apocalypse, while the Four Roachmen likely will ride right on, unbesmirched.
mmm, good luck responding to the saucy page-tauntings! i'll also have you know that the first CD i ever bought was The Who's Tommy.
p.s. you are an amusing, amusing man, man.

It has only recently been brought to my attention that I know a lot of people on the west coast, specifically, in Vancouver. My tentative plan is to go there on my first vacation from the job I have not yet found. I will bring my guitar and my girl, and I shall never return.

Thanks! National Velvet (the movie) reminds me of the hopefulness of youth - that's what I like about it. But favorite films fluctuate with whatever I'm reminded I like.
Now that I've got all this free time, I'm resolving to spend less time here. Don't worry, gentle reader; you won't notice my absence one bit. I've merely resolved not to check the boards ten times and my journal twenty times daily.

The last assignment of my degree is submitted--I'll soon be handed my MA.
Now I bide my time for almost two months (!) while I sit here and read, and write. Sure I'll try to find some employment leads for when I move back home, but this is a rare opportunity I've got here. Faulkner wrote As I Lay Dying in six weeks. Six...

Yes!! Annie Hall!! The creepy actor guy she went out with before (John Glover, who's pretty much cornered the market on creepy guys). Yep, that's the one. I was hearing that exchange in my head over and over, and it was on the tip of my tongue... Thanks, dude. I love that movie.
Well, big, huge congrats on getting your assignments done!! Now it's Miller time...
What am I glad to have finished? Well, I was certainly glad when the bathtub got unclogged the other day, but I didn't actually DO that. Nothing ever seems to get "finished" around here. I did some proofreading for the magazine I volunteer with and got that turned in, and I was also glad to get the 3 programs for my website completed. But I know that soon I'll just have to turn around and do it all again with a different batch of papers and different programs. Plus, school for me begins tomorrow, so now I'll NEVER get anything done...
And if Mike's is a kid's drink (hmm, alcohol for kids, I dunno!), then I'm a big ol' kid and not ashamed to admit it. So there.

So tired. Can't concentrate. Must finish work.
New pics. Beard.

I want to die.
(But I'd like to be resurrected once this is all done and I'm free.)
It's 1:30am and time to go for pizza.

don't ever give up on your brother...your dad might not ever get it...i know my grandmother won't and she sounds as bad as your dad~~but i got through to almost all my cousins because i never stopped speaking my mind and standing up for what i believe in. i hope your brother doesn't end up being a rascist like you said your dad and my grandmother are.
antiprincess:
Mmm...pizza.
I recommend not dying. I hear that resurrection thing isn't nearly as common as it used to be.

With the help of a nonsensical comment from resident loon, napipain, I cleared a full page of journal comments. I'd like to thank all the little people that got me here. Maybe now you'll stop headbutting my crotch.

i liked my moth email!!
back when i was a painter, i had a couple of shows in a local gallery and then a Barnes and Nobles. And i won a Maryland art scholarship, payable in art supplies.
i was also a WORDMASTER in middle school!!! (analogies and definitions. hence my verbose nature. mmm, words.)
