Ugh. I always say "I don't want to help anymore" and then get sucked right back into helping. There's my addiction.
Whatever. It's apparently what I was put on this earth to do, so I'll just go on doing it. It doesn't affect me any. I just stand around and wait for my friends' lives to crash and burn so I can put my own...

The male species fails entirely. Officially.
Great big failure.
And I'm done helping people. For sure. I don't want to hear anyone else's problems or whining or issues or anything about their lives unless it's funny, uplifting, or neutral. I want nothing to do with personal conflicts that I have no involvement in.
I hate being the "amazing friend." Do you know how many people...

I feel like some kind of matronly prostitute. Not even kidding. I'm not sure why. Some kind of matronly, experienced prostitute.
Even though I've only ever done with one person.
I am on the brink of discovering the joys of hook-up sex. Artist hook-up sex. It's almost like therapy and inspiration all at once. When writers fuck, basically. I still feel prostitutish, however. It's kind...

How am I supposed to buy a trailer and drive it across the country for a year if I have to pay off fucking loans from my parents and the government? I mean, my parents won't charge interest, but the government will. How the FUCK am I supposed to be avant-garde and live and be an individual if...

aaa i saw your comment 
that's awesome
that's awesome
So, I went to math class this evening, like a dutiful student, and, like an English major, did not pay attention to anything. Instead, I wrote a lovely list of many things that I enjoy in life which I am going to share in this blog because they won't all fit in my profile box.
Oh yeah, it's that long. And growing.

A woman who loves the smell of cigar smoke!?
I always thought they were a dying breed
So, how have things been going for you lately? Any news from Whitewater? What did you think of Watchmen?

I was at Target today, searching for the "Behind the Cowl" and "Tales of the Black Freighter" on DVD, but had no luck in finding it; I did find the motion comic, but it was a bit too spendy for my tastes. All of this, by the way, should let you know that I loved the movie; that opening montage during the credits was perfect and very emotional. Also I thought they hit the nail on the head with all of the characters, except for Silk Specter I; the actress seemed a bit off, and I wished they shown Hollis more. But, thats bound to happen; besides, I'm sure some of it will be fied in the Director's Cut.
And don't feel too bad about the FanFic, I cut my teeth writing my fair share of it too; I'm sure there are still some of my Transformers fanfic still floating around the intertubes (although, I hope most of it doesn't see the light of day! ). Just be careful, you don't want to piss off Allan Moore; that man would scare the crap out of me, if I ever messed with him 
Congrats on getting into Whitewater, BTW; my sister just got accepted into a Masters program at UW-Milwaukee, and we're excited for her (although she's scared to death to actually MOVE to Milwaukee, not that I blame her. I've been lost in downtown Belfast at 2 in the morning, I've gotten stuck in rough areas of Detroit before and, hell, I lived in the Alaskan Bush for two years. But MILWAUKEE? That place makes even me a bit nervous ) I'm sure you'll like it there, Whitewater's a pretty good school.

Yeah.
And now I have the Comedian lighting his cigar on my dorm door with his flamethrower. I know he's a jackass, but he's such an awesome character. I love people who tell it like it is. That's the kind of person...

The rumor I heard is that Dr. Manhattan isn't working for Ozymandius so much as they try to make it look as if HE is the Big Bad, instead of Giant Squid Thing.
Personally, if that turns out to be true, I'm okay with it, as long as it follows the internal logic of the story. But, much like you, I have a lot of faith in the director as well. From the reviews I've read and the things I've seen, I think its going to turn out just find; Snyder obviously is a true fan of the story and is going to want t do right by it (besides, if he fucks it up, Alan Moore might try to curse him or something; and, personally, I wouldn't do anything to piss that man off more than possible. He looks more intimidating than David Alan Coe!)
BTW, since you are into politics, have you been keeping an eye on the state politics in Wisconsin? (I see you just moved to the state a bit ago). One of my biggest regrets about being in North Dakota right now and, before that, Alaska has been that I don't have as good of a grasp on the politics of my state at the moment. I keep wanting to get a subscription to the State Journal, but that paper is damn expensive!
Although a Democrat, I always describe myself as a Wisconsin Progressive, and truthfully, Jim Doyle just bothers me. Its nothing I can put my finger on, but he just strikes me as somewhat corrupt; a fact which, if true, is all the more sad because of who his Mother and Father were (Ruth and James Doyle Sr were kick ass!) On the other hand, it may just be his voice; he's a squeeker.
Good luck on your application to Whitewater, by the way. Whitewater is a damn good school, and I've always heard very good things about it. Personally, it was never one of the ones I looked at, simply because it was too far to the South (I'm a Northwoods kid, at heart, and always said I refused to go to any school South of my house.) I'm not too sure about their English department, but I know that they have a regionally reknowned History program, especially as it relates to state history. If you get accepted, which I'm sure you will, you'll love it there.

Ah, so you've lived in Wisconsin for 15 years; well, then, I suppose I shall forego the required Illinois FIB jokes then
Its always great to see someone taking interest in politics. Although I always found it interesting (I once told my Mom that I wanted to be President, when I was 5, and the family story goes that I was the one who convinced both of my parents to vote for Bill Clinton in the Dem primary back in 92), but I didn't get hardcore into it until getting to college myself. The Bush/Gore disaster acted as a major kick in the ass for me, and is largely responsible for turning me into the Political Geek which I currently am (Its gotten sad; I've realized that most of the TV I watch these days is politics and news related. Its either MSNBC or the Daily Show. Scary)
Of course, it helps that Wisconsin has such a fascinating and vibrant history, especially in politics. I still consider Bob LaFollette, and his son Phil, to be two of my biggest heroes in life.
Anyway, don't worry about the transfer nightmares, we've all been there. I remember, at one time, applying for a transfer to UW-GB from Northern Michigan University and, although they were happy enough to take my money, they never let me know if I was accepted or not. That was about 8 years back, but I swear to god the next time I'm at that school, I should walk into Admissions and demand they give me back my 45 dollars
Once again, though, I'm sure its all fine. If they don't get a letter to you in the next few days, it certainly wouldn't hurt to just give the admissions office a call and ask them.
So, if you don't mind me asking, where are you going to school right now, and what's your major?

Hey sweets. We all have some kind of addiction. I think mine is "power" ... that ability to manipulate someone. Even if it sometimes mean I can hurt them emotionally.
Thank you for the comment on my set.

Fuck my stupid roommate. She can go jump off a bridge into roiling waters filled with bloodthirsty crocodiles. Well, no, maybe just two crocodiles. More sport that way. We could have betting on which one would tear her arms off first.
Seriously, though, I loathe this girl. She has no consideration for other people whatsoever. Thank the gods she is moving her sorry ass out...

I understand. That's why I'm enjoying my one year break from school. I have gotten to catch up on lots of reading. You'll love the stories the farther you get into the series. Because of Pratchett's love of footnotes and inside jokes, each character becomes funnier because of the cumulative back-story.
I have the urge to blog.
I registered today at around 10:30 AM and voted; since I live in Wisconsin, I could register on the day of the election, which was nice since I forgot to register through the mail. I have no idea why that got away from me, maybe I had a paper due that week. Not sure. Anyway, I voted, but, because...
