Ahhh, Thursday. It's 8PM and I've already worked at my shitty ass job for 8 hours, had a nice $1.75 schooner at Louise's(and yes, I will continued to pimp out Louise's until I make it so it's always packed and my social anxiety makes me run out before I even walk in), and cleaned out my car. The latter is a necessity because I'm going...

tanner! this is a rad entry. you look lovely with shorn locks.

1) your grandmother sounds like a badass human being. old ladies cussing make me giddy.

2) at least they love you. and just think, time spent with the young ones is encouraging thoughts outside of the box. on some level.

3) have you read this? cklarock 5.11.05 it is what it is.

4) six hour drives BITE! arrrgh. i feel for you. how often do you go back? travel time for me to get back to my family is approximately the same, although 3.5 hours are spent in a plane, and the remainer is in a car.

5) this morning when i saw your post in cklarock's journal, i cursed you. because i imagined that if you are supposed to be at work at 8 like i am, you were going to be on time, and i was not. you win!
cklarock:
Wow, your family sounds tough to be around. Mine are in Lyons, which is smack in the middle of the state, and in my seven-year absence from their affairs and opinions, I've really grown fond of them. wink

Have you considered just not going? You could tell them the drive is just too long, you're too busy at work, or that you have to drive the getaway car while your new black boyfriend sticks up a liquor store?

So, it's Tuesday. That means that after work today I went and had myself a schooner of Widmer Wheat at my favorite dive bar, Louise's Downtown. You can't be $3.75 micro-schooners on Tuesdays and $1.75 domestic schooners on Thursdays. But that's enough of the shameless plugs. Well, almost. I also need to pimp out Henry T's who this week are having 2 for 1 burgers...

oh no no no my sweet! you don't sound pathetic. you sound like me in my every other post!

i so FEEL you on the thing about louise's. the schooners are so cheap and delicious but the crowd is so intimidating. which is just hysterical because i never associate lawrence with anything intimidating, but it's true! so many cool kids go to thursday nights at louise's. i've tried it twice and my social anxiety actually walked me right out the door after five minutes one of those times. the other time i went really early and somehow avoided the crowd.

i would offer to accompany you, but tonight's my knitting night. right down the street from where you'll be, i'll be at aimee's coffee shop. i'd invite you, but it's an all girls thing. sometimes there's three of us and sometimes there's eight, but generally we turn into cackling hens. it's my one girl-night a week.

i hope you have an excellent time. you're awesome, don't forget it.

Hello to the few who actually read this(which does seem to be more people than I thought). After giving a brief rundown of the perks of my job last time, I feel like maybe I didn't explain the reason that I am still doing a job that very much is against my political beliefs. Now, granted, I'm not trying to justify myself, I am a...

So, I'm back. I'm sure that nobody noticed I was gone, well, except for Bright but that's only because I annoy her places other than here wink But I'm back and better than ever, or some other tired worn out cliche.

Since we last spoke I've been laid off, rehired at a $2/hour raise, signed a new lease for the fall with a new roommate of...

they want you!

it feels so good when a corporate job actually does something nice for you.

welcome back to the site! i actually did miss you!

Fast Food Nation is perfectly described by the phrase "fabulously disturbing."

i need to read What's The Matter With Kansas, but i'm having a hard time starting it, because i just barely got to this state, and i'm in the process of falling in love with it. maybe i'll wait until winter. heh.

I can't really find anything that is inspiring me to write right now. So I'm giving you this song lyric that speaks to my state of mind lately. Enjoy some Morrissey.

Recent events, such as the appointment of an ardent opponent of the authority of the UN being appointed to the UN ambassadorship from the US, has once again brought to the forefront of the worlds consciousness that the Bush Administration does not care what the world thinks. As if to reiterate that point(like the world hasnt already realized it), I was listening to NPR this...

You have to know how to accept rejection and reject acceptance.-Ray Bradbury

I'm feeling a bit guilty today. For 9 months I've been spending every day knowing one thing. That one thing was that I wasn't going to eat meat that day. The treatment of animals in captivity, the cruel way that the animals are slaughtered, and the fact that I know vegetarianism to be,...

I love cats. Cats love me. My body hates cats. I have a pretty bad allergy to cats. Which kind of makes me mad because they are so damn cute. Cats are also assholes. I love dogs because they are short on attitiued on long on cuddling.

Thanks for the advice. smile

I'm sitting here wanting to write something inspired. I'm practically begging for inspiration, yet nothing comes. I do have a post bubbling under the surfact but it's certainly not made it to the point that I'm ready to let lose that particular rant. So, here I sit, trying to think of something to write.

Yesterday, as anybody can tell, I've been very inspired by the...

You lost me for a minute talking about the Reddest of Red states, Kansas. I thought you were gonna go all redneck conservative on me.

I think that you are right in most of what you have to say here. The greatest way to happiness is to be better people. Start with yourself and the world will follow.

I also have come to accept that violence and tragedy are natural parts of life. Life is like two sides of a coin. They are both so different but the are part of the same thing. Sometimes blood must be shed before a positive change can come around. It's a cycle, a circle. There are different phases of energy, and good and bad both get a turn.

I was quite impressed today by the amazing way that the Lebanese people have rallied behind a cause and had one of the most beautiful aspects of life, a non-violent revolution. I'm amazed at the level of revolutionary activity that I have been able to witness, not just in my lifetime, but in the past few months. With both the Ukraine and Lebanon having peaceful...

So, it's Valentine's Day. A day of enjoyment for those in relationships and a day of bitterness for those not. I actually am not as bitter as in the past today though, as I had a great weekend. On Saturday, I went out to celebrate one of my dear friend's birthday, which led to all sorts of hilarity. Myself drunk, my friends drunk, the birthday...

OK...it's a shitty miserable day out. And I'm in a shitty miserable mood, but since I have nobody I want to unload my shitty miserable feelings on(especially not the girl causing it, I might really regret that) you few people who actually will see this get the brunt, and for that I am sorry.

I've been talking to this girl. She's sweet, amazing, and sexy...

i've found myself in roughly the same situation. every relationship i get into turns out the same, even all the women that i "date" seem very similar.
after years of thought on the matter, i'd have to say that it is I who chooses the same woman over and over again.
i cram life's experiences into the kind of situations that make me "comfortable." until i find out why i keep doing this, i'll probably continue repeating myself repeating myself. confused whatever smile
helpfull?

I agree with MrOmega on this one. You probaly keep picking the same type of woman over and over again. I am guilty of the same. Hence why there was no licking on the Indian. I got that he might be interested but usually anything with a married man ends very badly and is highly stressful while it is going on. I have made the decision to stop persuing that. I am trying to change my taste in men. It's hard too. Not to say that I just dig married men. I have kind of sworn of men right now. Why? I need to attract the right kind. That is what you need to do. Focus on you and what you truly want. Tell that girl to fuck off and wait for the right one to come along.

I have also noticed that you men always want the really hot girl and the really hot girls are usually the ones that fuck you over. Just a theory. It will get better sweetie. You can be a good person and still get the girl who treats you good. kiss

I really really hate having my brother sleeping at my place. Going from having total privacy to absolute no privacy is annoying as hell. Thus the lack of actual writing shit in here. Or anywhere for that matter. I'm about a week behind on emails and everything else.

So, last night, a friend of mine at work and I decided that our company needed to...
