awesome. i mean about the pee-wee herman and spreading the cudgel word to sg chicago.

When I was in high school, I had a shirt that said, "Save PeeWee". I wish I still had it.

it'll be over soon.

and then we will revel in our sunday breakfast glory.

and then THIS will happen... YEeeS.

Oh fuck what now?

Indeed.

There are those times when I think I've hit rock bottom only to hear a little voice ask me if I'd like to see the basement. You have my sympathy for however things broke the wrong way for you this time.

I suppose it's easy to mistake Van Helsing for the scientific one because he's aligned so closely with Dr. Seward. Seward is our example of rational scientific thought; he's an Englishman fully entrenched in the ideas of the enlightenment. He cannot find a cause to Lucy's illness because it is not of a scientific origin.

Van Helsing, on the other hand, is Dutch and not bound by the same rigid constraints of englightenment logic (i.e. science can explain everything) and can thereful accept a supernatural explanation for what's going on. Van Helsing is a scientist and a rational person, but one who is capable of looking outside of science for explanations. This places him outside of the world of Seward & co. and halfway into Dracula's world.

I think one of the themes Stoker was trying to show was that, while the world was changing, it was foolish to believe everything could be explained. Van Helsing may have cost Lucy her life because he feared Dr. Seward would lose faith in him if he initially came forward with stories of vampires.

But it has been a while since I read the novel, so I may be misremembering.

(In the film, though, Van Helsing is a loon. He's a scientist, but he's so far out on the edge that it appears that madness is creeping in on his every action. Not sure why they portrayed him in that way but I like it.)

Maybe not that I'm not a dork, just that...well, maybe just safety in numbers or something. Whatev.

And I'm awaiting an email with a cute little (simple) Pole in front of something awesome with held breath. With or without nutsacks on forehead.

Hmm...I'll have to check that out (except that much of the reason for my leaving is to cut drooling in front of the internet out of my life).

Take care of Lindsey for me, eh? And good luck with the graduating!

I know exactly what you mean. I find it harder to walk away than ever before however. Houston has never had an SG community before, but just recently several members have started hanging out. It seems like everytime we have an event more members show up and stick around. The community was one of the main reasons I joined the site to begin with and it's nice to finally see the community grow. I share all your feelings, but to me the site is less about the girls than the interesting members. I honestly can't remember the last time I even looked at one of the sets. I lost interest in that part of the site a very long time ago.

I don't know if your panties are still in a bunch about the SG decline-and-fall narrative/routinization-of-charisma hooha, but Reina's last tank girl set made me squeal like a piggy. I think yours are common complaints about any organization that gets (maybe) too big for its britches. With 1,000 plus girls there's bound to be drama. Before you give up on SG for good you might want to think about the following: i) any alternative "erotic" or porn site that's not directly owned by the model/s is going to be way, way, way more degrading to women and way more interested in exploiting naive 18 year olds. ii) what suggestions would you have to bring SG back to the glory days of old (for members/models/organizers/etc.)? i miss you, t-rex.

Oi Oi Oi!!

I dunno, my exgirlfriend shaved all hers off once and it took a really long time to grow back and they looked really weird.

1 You do not actually miss freedom from thought. You just think you do.

2 I know commenting in my own journal is ber-lame but as my comment had nothing to do with anything but your comment it somehow seemed to make more sense that way. I realize that this is further proof that my Internet social skills lag way behind my offline social skills (which, before you say anything, are far from perfect).

3 You still have the best "CURRENT CRUSH" ever.

Yes you are a decent and forgiving person

I wish I had played golf. Jen kept texting me about it while i was at work. I was annoyed I was at work instead, but it was cute.

Hah! I've been thinking that too!!
It makes me want to buy a harmonium.

I dunno if you're in on this but...I lost the game.

tap-tap-tap is this thing on?
i hate emoticons or whatever the hell these are called.

but that's what happens when the GUT starts taking over...

anyway, check out http://www.aloftaerialdance.com/aloftloft.html (i don't know how to do that neat-o embed the link in text thingy)
