Warning: for those who've come to expect brevity from me, here I go getting all long-winded again.

Being back here feels like I've stepped into a time warp. Nothing has changed, and there's still nothing to do around town.
I ran into an acquaintance at the airport and we sat together on the plane, talking and enjoying each others' company, and that has been the...

sorry to hear that you are feeling so down. nothing is ever as real as it seems, but even that seems like bullshit philosophy when you're in the middle of it all. it is raining here in portland. i'm back from thailand - victoria and dylan are coming over tonight for curry, and i'm trying to start the new year with no laundry. call when/if you're back in town?

i miss you duder.

ugh hangovers make me cry.

You're right. I will not focus on whether or not I should want certain things. Instead, I will accept that I want them, and I want them badly.

Reflections on the Dresden Dolls show three nights past.
Early in the evening my friends, my housemate and I were gathered in front of the Aladdin, when we first saw them. At first there was only one: a girl in a white mannequin outfit and makeup standing quite still by the will call window. A doll. Soon another emerged, wearing a black leather corset and...

I think hun that a lot of it has to do with the fact that when you go see a band or an artist of any type in person... that close.. it makes it real.

Just listening to a CD... the words and music can be inspiriring by themselves but they arn't there to touch.. or to blow kisses at you. wink Once you see them face to face they become flesh and blood, and not so diffrent from yourself... you start realizing that maybe your own dreams arn't so far fetched... all it seems to take is a beautiful thought and a little determination.

It was a great show, bittersweet.. but great nonetheless. I'm glad you were there, and sorry I wasn't in many ways. There's no rhyme or reason to my journal. But I think yours would be more readable with clear breaks. It's too much text to read in one block sometimes, and I find myself reading the whole thing over a number of days. smile

I'm trying to find us a more reliable practice space. I'm also going to get my hands on a new pair of powered PA monitors. Something more durable to move around. We need to play more. Lots more. I have some ideas but I don't think my place is too good to practice at. My neighbors are getting shitty. I don't blame them. wink

My friend Devo is back in town. We'll all have to meet up to see if there's any cross compatibility. He'd be an awesome addition to our collective, if he was so inclined. Usually him and I play together lots, he can be a bit of a muse for me.

Anyways. I'm rambling. We'll talk more soon. I'm getting out of the funk I've been in and am getting ready to conquer Portland. Your Wicked Little Town dream is within grasp.

I am tired of being sick. In its early stages it is something of a novelty, an excuse for pampering oneself. I have not had to work much, nor have I been able to concentrate on school. However, it has been utterly miserable at the same time and I hardly prefer the free time to the alternative. My productivity has gone down severely, and I...

If you had a button sweet heart you wouldnt be human... and that all by itself would be horribly sad. YOu determination is part of what makes you a great person... you'll get thorugh it.. I'm sure you hear that all the time.

Thank you for the movie.. I had a great time... the color scemes were brillant... I tink that and the water scene were my favroite parts.

How is the Amanda adaptation going?

It's the devil's way now
There is no way out
You can scream you can shout
It is too late now

Because you have not been paying attention

A rather sane voice amidst the madness comes from SFGate's Mark Morford:

Well.......well.

For me to be adequately informed about politics and everything that was going on would take the reading and analyzing of several books, basic courses in government, and a careful and thorough studying of the news. I don't see much point in watching Fox News, but something more along the lines of NPR and Salon (and the Daily Show, of course). Not only do...

I just wish that both sides, especially the Republicans, would just fight cleanly. As Ohio was the main point of contention, it's interesting to note that they used voting machines in Ohio. Voting machines made by Diebold, known Bush supporters who actually threw a campaign party for him four years ago. whatever

As an acquaintance of mine said yesterday, this election was bought and sold a year and a half ago.

Halloween. I attended my first ever Rocky Horror Picture Show midnight screening last night. The virgin call was fun, but honestly, the people who were there (who were clearly there quite often) reminded me strongly of the folks I used to do theater with back in high school, which is to say they were closely knit, hyper-sexual (one got the feelling of a large incestuous...

It's over, again. Or it feels that way. It's frustrating, because I can't afford to be emotionally fucked up right now, I have too much other work to do that demands my mind be clear and functioning. Mistakes are so integral to human nature, but goddammit I expect better from myself.

How far would you go for contentment? How far would you go for happiness?...

How far would you go for contentment?
-I'm fine with moments of contentment, but overall I think being content is akin to being dead. I think the state of being human doesn't really allow contentment, we have emotions and we have drives that push us forward. There's plenty of time to be content in the ground.

How far would you go for happiness?
-I'll know it when I find it.

What makes you feel alive?
-Sound vibrating off of my body.

The sad thing is that I love "Legally Blonde." I even broke down and bought the DVD. whatever

nothing unusual, nothing strange
close to nothing at all
the same old scenario, the same old rain
and there's no explosions here
then something unusual, something strange
comes from nothing at all
I saw a spaceship fly by your window
did you see it disappear?

Amie come sit on my wall
and read me the story of old
and tell it like you still believe...
