Did you know that the purple McDonald's character, Grimace, was supposed to be a tastebud?
That's the rumor.
It's funny cause his name's Grimace. There must've been a lot of peyote involved in the creation of that guy. At least that's how I like to think of it.

My parents = Hippies (well, relatively speaking) so no McDonalds for me. Everything you just wrote went completely over my head! Thanks for the love advice though! biggrin

That can't be true, can it????

I'm a nerd in stylish clothing.

I have managed to attract the attention of an extremely image-conscious, trend-starting, borderline-narcissistic musician.

To live the life of a hipster for a while? Or to stay comfortable, being nerd-me?

The most frustrating thing is that I know there's an equally geeky side of him that we can completely relate on... but since he'd so wrapped up in his...

Yep nerd is so me. Wanna go read some books?
doctashock:
Yeah I got to thinking about this a little bit, and you know the sad thing is, it's now trendy to be an outcast. But if everyone is an outcast, and all the outcast band together, then doesn't that make them the new in-crowd.

Jesus. Damn you Kurt Cobain and your exploitation of the not wanting to be cool stature.

AAAAAAARRRRRRRRGGGGGGHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fuck it, I wanna be popular. Will you help me makeove my new image?

Good to be back from Winnipeg. Lessons learned from that trip:
#1. I am utterly fascinating to my entire extended family, being the eldest grandchild of 12 grandchildren on that side. "Why do you have a piercing there?" "I heard you have a tattoo." "Is that your EIGHTH whisky and coke?"
#2. Whoever coined the phrase "cold enough to freeze the balls off a brass...

Ah yes, the festivities begin.
I'll be spending all day tomorrow with my mom preparing a traditional Norwegian Christmas supper. Well, I'll be doing the veggie dishes, as the "ribbe" and the "medistekaker" are all meaty.
Then I'll be off to the winterland known as Winnipeg on the 26th for a family shindig. Then back to Vancouver for New Years.
You know, like you all...

Have you ever read a book that has hit you so hard, you want to throw it down and scream "FUCKING RIGHTS! YES YES YES!!!"?

I'm re-reading Huxley's Doors of Perception over the break from school. Every time I read it, I'll pick up on another nuance, or phrase I might not have given enough thought to the first time around.

I used to suffer...

I was reading Beadrillards "Simulation and Simulacra" and I kept rereadingthe first chapter n case I missed stuff and I just kept getting more and more excitied....

Happy Holidayszh...


longblackbangs:
It is strange that "a sense of unreality" is a common symptom. When I got/get panic attacks it seems like an incredibly "real" sense of reality has hit me. Its like the part of the brain that blocks out how horribly frightening reality is all of the sudden shuts down and you have do deal with it all at once.

Like here I am spending/wasting part of the only life I have in front of a computer screen. This concept of pointlessly passing time should scare the shit out of me...in a panic attack it would...right now it seems like no big deal. surreal

thanks for being my therapist for these past few moments smile

Regarding the lack of "real me" pics... as I may have mentioned to one or one of you before. I don't own:
a scanner
a digital camera
a webcam
or even a recent picture of me!

Pathetic, I know. And it's pretty weird, my profile pic now just really is my toria persona. You know? Anybody else get that? I'm not being "fake" on here,...

Tomorrow's my birthday. If kid me could see how little 22-year-old me cares about this, well, she'd cry. Wait, no, she wouldn't, as she was not a cryer. She'd probably make fun of me, then ask me questions about which boys I like.
