Zk | 12 Reasons Same-sex Marriage Will Ruin Society.

+
+
+
    +
  1. Homosexuality is not natural, much like eyeglasses, polyester, and air conditioning are not natural.
    2. +
  2. Heterosexual marriages are valid because they produce children. Infertile couples and old people cannot get legally married because the world needs more children.
    3. +
  3. Obviously gay parents will raise gay children because straight parents only raise straight children.
    4. +
  4. Straight marriage will be less meaningful, Just as Britney Spears's 55-hour marriage romp was meaningful.
    5. +
  5. Heterosexual marriage has been around for a long time, and it hasn't changed at all: women are property, Blacks can't marry Whites, and divorce is illegal.
    6. +
  6. Gay marriage should be decided by the people, not the courts, because the majority-elected legislatures, not courts, have historically protected the rights of minorities.
    7. +
  7. Gay marriage is not supported by religion. In a theocracy like ours, the values of one religion are always imposed on the entire country. That's why we only have one religion in America.
    8. +
  8. Gay marriage will encourage people to be gay, in the same way that hanging around tall people makes you tall.
    9. +
  9. Legalizing gay marriage will open the door to all kinds of crazy behavior. People may even wish to marry their pets because a dog has legal standing and can sign a marriage license.
    10. +
  10. Children can never succeed without both male and female role models at home. That's why single parents are forbidden to raise children.
    11. +
  11. Gay marriage will change the foundation of society. Heterosexual marriage has been around for a long time and we could never adapt to new social norms because we haven't adapted to cars or longer lifespans or increased racial and gender equality.
    12. +
  12. Civil unions, providing most of the same benefits as marriage with a different name are better, because a "separate but equal" institution is always constitutional. Separate schools for African-Americans worked just as well as separate marriages will for gays & lesbians.

Open Letter to Dr. Laura. +(Mirrored from http://www-users.cs.york.ac.uk/~susan/joke/laura.htm +
+For those of you that are not following the recent controversy + that has to do with Laura Schlessinger: she is a radio personality who + dispenses advice to people who call in to her radio show. Paramount + Television Group is currently producing a "Dr. Laura" + + television show. Recently she has become a convert to Judaism, and now + she is Ba'al T'shuvah. Recently, she has made some statements about + homosexuals that has caused the Canadian anti-hate laws to censure + her... The following is an open letter to Dr. Laura which was posted on + the internet...
+

an open letter to Dr. Laura

+

J. Kent Ashcraft

+

May 2000

+ + Dear Dr. Laura, + + Thank you for doing so much to educate people regarding God's Law. I + have learned a great deal from your show, and I try to share that + knowledge with as many people as I can. When someone tries to defend the + homosexual lifestyle, for example, I simply remind him that + Leviticus 18:22 clearly states it to be an + abomination. End of debate. + + + I do need some advice from you, however, regarding some of the specific + laws and how to best follow them. + + a) When I burn a bull on the altar as a sacrifice, I know it creates a + pleasing odor for the Lord (Lev 1:9). The problem is + my neighbors. They claim the odor is not pleasing to them. Should I smite + them? + + b) I would like to sell my daughter into slavery, as sanctioned in + Exodus 21:7. In this day and age, what do you think + would be a fair price for her? + + c) I know that I am allowed no contact with a woman while she is in her + period of menstrual uncleanliness (Lev 15:19-24). + The problem is, how do I tell? I have tried asking, but most women take + offense. + + + d) Lev. 25:44 states that I may indeed possess + slaves, both male and female, provided they are purchased from neighboring + nations. A friend of mine claims that this applies to Mexicans, but not + Canadians. Can you clarify? Why can't I own Canadians? + + e) I have a neighbor who insists on working on the Sabbath. + Exodus 35:2 clearly states he should be put to + death. Am I morally obligated to kill him myself? + + f) A friend of mine feels that even though eating shellfish is an + Abomination (Lev 11:10), it is a lesser abomination + than homosexuality. I don't agree. Can you settle this? + + + g) Lev 21:20 states that I may not approach the + altar of God if I have a defect in my sight. I have to admit that I wear + reading glasses. Does my vision have to be 20/20, or is there some wiggle + room here? + + h) Most of my male friends get their hair trimmed, including the hair + around their temples, even though this is expressly forbidden by + Lev 19:27. How should they die? + + i) I know from Lev 11:6-8 that touching the skin + of a dead pig makes me unclean, but may I still play football if I wear + gloves? + + + j) My uncle has a farm. He violates Lev 19:19 by + planting two different crops in the same field, as does his wife by + wearing garments made of two different kinds of thread (cotton/polyester + blend). He also tends to curse and blaspheme a lot. Is it really necessary + that we go to all the trouble of getting the whole town together to stone + them? (Lev 24:10-16) Couldn't we just burn them + to death at a private family affair like we do with people who sleep with + their in-laws? (Lev. 20:14) + + I know you have studied these things extensively, so I am confident you + can help. + + Thank you again for reminding us that God's word is eternal and + unchanging. + + + Your devoted disciple and adoring fan. + + +
+ +

+ +

+These are the Biblical verses refered to above, in two different + translations: the King James Version [KJV], and New International Version + [NIV] +
+ Lev 18:22 [KJV] Thou shalt not + lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination. [NIV] Do not lie + with a man as one lies with a woman; that is detestable. +Lev 1:9 [KJV] But his inwards and + his legs shall he wash in water: and the priest shall burn all on the + altar, to be a burnt sacrifice, an offering made by fire, of a sweet + savour unto the LORD. [NIV] He is to wash the + inner parts and the legs with water, and the priest is to burn all of it + on the altar. It is a burnt offering, an offering made by fire, an aroma + pleasing to the LORD. +Exodus 21:7 [KJV] And if a man + sell his daughter to be a maidservant, she shall not go out as the + menservants do. [NIV] If a man sells his daughter as a servant, she is + not to go free as menservants do. + Lev 15:19-24 [KJV] And if a + woman have an issue, and her issue in her flesh be blood, she shall be + put apart seven days: and whosoever toucheth her shall be unclean until + the even. 20 And every thing that she lieth upon + in her separation shall be unclean: every thing also that she sitteth + upon shall be unclean. 21 And whosoever toucheth + her bed shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be + unclean until the even. 22 And whosoever + toucheth any thing that she sat upon shall wash his clothes, and bathe + himself in water, and be unclean until the even. 23

+
    And if it be on her bed, or on any thing whereon she sitteth, when he
+    toucheth it, he shall be unclean until the even. <font size="-1">24</font>
+    And if any man lie with her at all, and her flowers be upon him, he
+    shall be unclean seven days; and all the bed whereon he lieth shall be
+    unclean.
+    <br/>[NIV] When a woman has her regular flow of blood, the impurity of
+    her monthly period will last seven days, and anyone who touches her will
+    be unclean till evening. <font size="-1">20</font> Anything she lies on
+    during her period will be unclean, and anything she sits on will be
+    unclean. <font size="-1">21</font> Whoever touches her bed must wash
+    his clothes and bathe with water, and he will be unclean till evening.
+    <font size="-1">22</font> Whoever touches anything she sits on must
+    wash his clothes and bathe with water, and he will be unclean till
+    evening. <font size="-1">23</font> Whether it is the bed or anything
+    she was sitting on, when anyone touches it, he will be unclean till
+    evening. <font size="-1">24</font> If a man lies with her and her
+    monthly flow touches him, he will be unclean for seven days; any bed he
+    lies on will be unclean.</font>
+
+ + +

Lev 25:44 [KJV] Both thy + bondmen, and thy bondmaids, which thou shalt have, shall be of the + heathen that are round about you; of them shall ye buy bondmen and + bondmaids. [NIV] Your male and female slaves are to come from the + nations around you; from them you may buy slaves. +Exodus 35:2 [KJV] Six days shall + work be done, but on the seventh day there shall be to you an holy day, + a sabbath of rest to the LORD: whosoever doeth + work therein shall be put to death. [NIV] For six days, work is to be + done, but the seventh day shall be your holy day, a Sabbath of rest to + the LORD. Whoever does any work on it must be + put to death. +Lev 11:10 [KJV] And all that + have not fins and scales in the seas, and in the rivers, of all that + move in the waters, and of any living thing which is in the waters, they + shall be an abomination unto you [NIV] But all creatures in the seas or + streams that do not have fins and scales --- whether among all the + swarming things or among all the other living creatures in the water --- + you are to detest. +Lev 21:20 [KJV] Or crookbackt, + or a dwarf, or that hath a blemish in his eye, or be scurvy, or scabbed, + or hath his stones broken [NIV] or who is hunchbacked or dwarfed, or who + has any eye defect, or who has festering or running sores or damaged + testicles. +Lev 19:27 [KJV] Ye shall not + round the corners of your heads, neither shalt thou mar the corners of + thy beard. [NIV] Do not cut the hair at the sides of your head or clip + off the edges of your beard. +Lev 11:6-8 [KJV] And the hare, + because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he is unclean + unto you. 7 And the swine, though he divide the + hoof, and be clovenfooted, yet he cheweth not the cud; he is unclean to + you. 8 Of their flesh shall ye not eat, and + their carcase shall ye not touch; they are unclean to you. +
[NIV] The rabbit, though it chews the cud, does not have a split + hoof; it is unclean for you. 7 And the pig, + though it has a split hoof completely divied, does not chew the cud; it + is unclean for you. 8 You must not eat their + meat or touch their carcases; they are unclean for you. +Lev 19:19 [KJV] Ye shall keep + my statutes. Thou shalt not let thy cattle gender with a diverse kind: + thou shalt not sow thy field with mingled seed: neither shall a garment + mingled of linen and woollen come upon thee. [NIV] Keep my decrees. Do + not mate different kinds of animals. Do not plant your field with two + kinds of seed. Do not wear clothing woven of two kinds of material. +Lev 24:10-16 [KJV] And the + son of an Israelitish woman, whose father was an Egyptian, went out + among the children of Israel: and this son of the Israelitish woman and + a man of Israel strove together in the camp; 11 + And the Israelitish woman's son blasphemed the name of the Lord, and + cursed. And they brought him unto Moses: (and his mother's name was + Shelomith, the daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan:) 12 + And they put him in ward, that the mind of the LORD + might be shewed them. 13 And the LORD

+
    spake unto Moses, saying, <font size="-1">14</font> Bring forth him
+    that hath cursed without the camp; and let all that heard him lay their
+    hands upon his head, and let all the congregation stone him.
+    <font size="-1">15</font> And thou shalt speak unto the children of
+    Israel, saying, Whosoever curseth his God shall bear his sin.
+    <font size="-1">16</font> And he that blasphemeth the name of the L<font size="-1">ORD</font>,
+    he shall surely be put to death, and all the congregation shall
+    certainly stone him: as well the stranger, as he that is born in the
+    land, when he blasphemeth the name of the Lord, shall be put to death.
+    <br/>[NIV] Now the son of an Israelite mother and an Egyptian father
+    went out among the Israelites, and a fight broke out in the camp between
+    him and an Israelite. <font size="-1">11</font> The son of the
+    Israelite woman blasphemed the name of the L<font size="-1">ORD</font>
+
+    with a curse; so they brough him to Moses. (His mother's name was
+    Shelomith, the daughter of Dibri the Danite.) <font size="-1">12</font>
+    They put him in custody until the will of the L<font size="-1">ORD</font>
+    should be made clear to them. <font size="-1">13</font> Then the L<font size="-1">ORD</font>
+    said to Moses: <font size="-1">14</font> Take the blasphemer outside
+    the camp. All those who heard him are to lay their hands on his head,
+    and the entire assembly is to stone him. <font size="-1">15</font> Say

Establishing the author

+
+I got the letter off the Net, but without an + attribution. Some + Web versions have the sig "Carole M. Cusack, Lecturer, + School of Studies in Religion, University of Sydney" attached, but + do not make it clear if this refers to the original author, or to the + poster. So I requested clarification in an earlier version of this page. +Someone emailed me in September 2000, saying that + the UK Guardian newspaper of 16 Sept 2000 had an article claiming the + author was Steve Turner. +Someone else emailed me on 1 April 2001 [really!] + saying "In the May 2001 edition of Playboy, they have a letter from + a reader on page 62 in which a 'Kent Ashcraft' states that he originally + wrote the letter." +Then in July 2001 Kent Ashcraft emailed me, + saying he is indeed the author (except of the last three questions, + which are additions to his original).

So I'm building querysets in Django, and I think I'm in love. Not only can you chain query sets together - that is, you can specify multiple things to search for, such as the title, duration and whatnot - but you can chain across relationships. So, I can search for a song in the Score table that contains 'butt' in the title regardless of case, and specify that it's only by a certain composer, which is a completely separate table.

+

All through creative use of underscores.
+scores = Score.objects.filter(title__icontains = 'butt').filter(client__full_name__icontains = 'matthew scott')

Today. I talked at Ryan for a while, then realized I was being a FREAKING JERK after he left. Then I invited Moondiggetydawg over for dindin, and my mom took us out to D'Napoli. Afterwards, we hid in the basement for a good long time trying to be quiet or something. When he went home, I returned to being a recluse.

+

I have an idea for a sort of comic thingy. It's called 'Senioritis' and features, so far, me (as Ranna), Ryan (as Floof), Shannon (as EL), Kiran (as himself), and Matt D. (as Collins). I'm doing it in a real brief style so far (Androo should know what I mean, since he has my drawings; the fox saying 'NONE of your SASS' is basically the design for myself). I don't think there'll be a plot, just a bunch of hating school and random jokes. One sketch I have so far is of me yelling 'SWEET JESUS! What the fuck is up with gravity today?' and a vignette with Shannon's quote about me falling off the ground and Brunching's quote about shitting Jesuseseses.

+

They won't all be as self centered, really. And I swear I'll get more characters, like Nicku, Androovoop, some teachers (I'm picturing Revier with a permanent anger-squiggle above his head) and maybe some others outside of Seniordom like Moondoggy and maybe some parents. Oh, to note, only those who identify as furs are furs. Thus, Kiran and Collins are humans. Well, Kiran is, Collins is a glorified stick figure ^

Just sent Ryan+Merry+kids+dog on their way. It was really nice seeing the couple again and getting to meet the kids. I think I'm pretty okay with being 'Uncle Matt' for a while :o) Should give me some time to work through some personal issues now, though. On the relationship front, I've got a whole host of defense mechanisms cropping up that I need to be careful of; I'm trying not to rebound on anyone too much and doing my level best to not place blame where it doesn't belong. Also really need to not get all overwhelmed in it all - I still have a degree to finish, hopefully in one school year, and a company to start, not to mention several thousand dollars of debt to pay off.

First of all, let me begin by saying that all that I say is pure in intention - I tried to be sarcastic in order to get along better with you, and none of what I say is meant to be sarcastic now.

+

I have to admit that I'm really pretty angry about this whole thing. It certainly came at a bad time, what with the stress of school, work, money, the handfasting, so on and so forth. However, please picture this from my point of view: while I knew that things were not going as well as planned, I left Tampa thinking that it would just be another speedbump to get over, what with us going so fast. That day, you told me that things hadn't been as you had imagined since we got back together. One week later, Jill posted that she had someone she liked and that it was mutual. Since she had originally made such a fuss about how I would take to her feelings about you, and since you had already discussed such with me, I think it's understandable that I be a little angry at the both of you, since it appears to me that you had just waited until dropping me in order to both feel secure for your feelings in each other. This is why I brought up Rynden and Ty; in both of those instances, it seemed to me that you were dovetailing relationships - not waiting until one relationship was over before starting another.

+

This has me pretty frustrated at you and Jill both, but I don't mean to place blame, however much my subconscious would love to. I'm certainly guilty of doing much the same thing - after all, I didn't admit to Tyson, the Texas mink, until November of last year or so that I was going out with you, though we had already split up, and I'm sure you remember the fiasco with Merlin when we first got together. None of this is anyone's fault but distance, and again, I'm hardly placing blame. I just feel a need to tell you how I feel, and I hope you understand that. I'm not asking for you back, since we've pretty effectively proved that that's not going to work; just that I need to sort this out with you, and I'm too ashamed to do it over the phone, or even over IM. It's just another one of those defense mechanisms. Remember when I got really depressed back in highschool and you threatened to break up with me? I feel sort of like I did then - hell, I was even tempted to commit suicide, something even my subconscious admits is pretty stupid - but things are different now. Not only are we both more mature and I can attempt to describe how I really feel, but I don't have to worry about acting in the best interest of 'us' anymore, and I can say what I mean without layers of sarcasm and innuendo.

+

Anyhow, I have to say that I really don't care whether or not you and Jill are dating, I still feel that I should be able to wish you both luck, whether in relationships or even just figuring things out. I love you enough and respect her enough to be allowed to do that, I think.

Think I changed my mind on the Ruger Mk. III - the Mk. II sounds like the way to go, being a little more mature of a pistol while the former has that mature pistol as a base with some more immature, lawyer pleasing additions. After having shot James' Buck Mark, I think I can say that the Ruger will be my first choice, should I purchase anything down the road. I liked the Buck Mark, too, just not as much - not fond of the magazine release on the side of the trigger guard (and that's standard, unfortunate for me), the Ruger's bolt was easier to pull with the 'ears', where as the Buck Mark was closer to operating a slide, and the Ruger just felt a little more solid all around.

+

Still peeking about at other pistols, but nothing so decisive on that front. Kinda digging the .22s, rifle-wise. Ruger (again) has some nifty semi-auto .22s with rotary magazines. Haven't read any reviews, they just look neat :D I did better with the 10/22 and the single-shot .22 (falling-block action, I think? James?) yesterday than any of the other guns, which seemed mis-sighted or something, though the wind stayed up around attempt-to-divest-Matt-of-clothing force throughout the entire time, so that might've been why both .22 pistols seemed like they needed such heavy correction. While I started to get used to the DAO trigger on the Kel-Tec, I still could only aim in a general sort of POINT THIS WAY sort of way with it, so I don't know if I hit anything, and the 30-30 'cannon' was a bit much for me, sitting down like I was; James blew a pretty solid hole through a phonebook with it, though! Who knows what happened with the muzzle-loader :D I guess long story short, I don't do well with much recoil.

After a week of near constant heartburn interspersed with bouts of extreme dizziness and occasional nausea, I'm heading into the health center to see what's up.

Appointment went well enough. The doctor was pretty amazing - he talked to me rather like an equal and didn't really dumb anything down, even moving around to sit next to me when he described blood-test results (fine). I guess I have pre-ulcer symptoms and need to cut down on caffeine, which makes sense, and NSAIDs like ibuprofen, which is my standard go-to painkiller. So I got some generic Zantac-150 to help train my stomach to produce less acid for the next month or so, and a suggestion to get some Mylanta or whatever.

+

On the other hand, because I didn't pay the $85 fee, insurance is refusing to cover the cost of the visit, but will still cover the blood test ($18) and prescription ($16) ?.? However, since the visit was a $50 consult, which is still less than that stupid fee.. who cares? Jesus.. what a stupid program. All the front-desk people were bitches about it, too, like they thought I was just INSANE for not paying the $85 fee. They don't get a commission, why do they care? :oP If this insurance didn't get me free health care period during the semester, I'd go with some company that's a little easier to work with :o

Put about 8 slug rounds through the shotgun, as well as about 15 rounds of shot. Also got to shoot James' shotgun, his .30-30 with a new scope (which was pulling his cast bullets, whoops), and a Romanian surplus .22 practice rifle. And his new 9mm Taurus PT99, which was suitably amazing, especially for $250. Think I'm gonna get a Kimber sooooon :

So, since I'm fairly decided on a pistol (gonna try a .45ACP gun soon to see if recoil will be a problem), I've started looking at rifles (bad idea, I know..) The more I look, the more interested in .243 Win/.243 AI for an adequate mix of punch and accuracy, should I decide to either get into match shooting or hunting (which I may - I mean, hey, not only local food, but I did it myself :oP), though I'm not discounting the various .30 caliber rounds. The question on my mind is what to get, though. Part of me would really like a falling-block style single-shot, but another part thinks a bolt action would be perfectly adequate.

+

This is all rambling, of course. If I do get a centerfire rifle before 2009, it'll be a surplus gun, unless I come across an incredible deal somewhere. I plan on waiting mostly to make more money :

So for those of you who weren't privvy to my venting, I'm dealing with a good bit of homophobia at work. Usually, I just ignore it - the idea is that my sexuality has nothing to do with my work, until it starts to interfere with my work, and it's getting to the point where I can barely look my boss in the face, with all of the goofy, nasty, or even hateful things he says (usually about the building proctor, who is openly gay). Basically, it's starting to interfere with my work because I'm so uncomfortable around my boss and coworkers when they joke about that. I've been asking everyone's opinion, including that of the GLBT Student Services director, whose job it is to deal with this sort of thing, but other opinions would certainly be helpful!

+

I should add that it really is all joking and commentary - my boss has completely revolutionized the way the workplace runs for the better in every other way, so I'm loathe to get him fired, or even disciplined. Rather, I'm looking for a more personal, one on one solution

Ruger Mk III, blued, with a 6" barrel. It was the last one they had, so I got a wee discount, possibly because it was the case model. A whole separate gun for less than the .22LR kit for the Kimber I was looking to get :3 +Ruger Mk III 6

Mosin-Nagant 1891/30 with bayonet. Cheap rifle, coated in cosmoline. It's cleaning up nice, though - the stock's actually really nice wood, though it'll need to be refinished - and as a consequence, my whole apartment smells like Hoppe's, and my hands are raw from old grease. +Mosin-Nagant 1891/30

100 rounds through the new Ruger, 20 through the Nagant. No problems at all. Accuracy was hard to determine with the wind being what it was, but the Ruger did plenty fine; of the two types of surplus ammo for the Nagant, the steel-casings did better than the brass. The Ruger's still toight as a toigah, dissassembly-wise, and it may take another couple hundred rounds before I don't have to use my hammer's wood handle to get the receiver/barrel on and off the grip :o

Another 100 through the Ruger, with only one weird problem, probably due to ammo (misfire, FTE). About 60 through the Nagant, including a bunch at two 4'x4' pieces of plywood, one at about 120 yards and one at 300 yards. Same targets with the Marlin .22 - we had to wait after each shot for almost a second before it would hit near the 300 yard target :D It was pretty accurate, though, and I busted a 6"x6" piece of ceramic tile at 120 yards

While I'm fairly accurate with the Nagant, I have two problems with it: the length of pull (distance between the trigger and butt-plate) is too short, and the comb (the top of the stock, where you rest your cheek) is too low and angled downwards. I fixed the first problem with a recoil absorber pad, and the second with an elastic ammo sleeve with a folded up piece of cloth under it. My goal was to fix these problems without modifying the rifle, in case I want to display it.

So, it looks like I'm getting a Kimber sometime soon, so for all you CO folks wot like guns, who would be interested and able to come to a wee bit of a party on Saturday, July 26 at the FoCo Grasslands?

+

Details: +- Matt may make food, but no promises +- Recommended cover price will be bringing your own box of .45 ACP if you want to shoot, however much you want. We'll pool it so everyone gets to shoot some at least. Look carefully: .45 ACP. Not .45 Colt or .45 GAP. .45 ACP, sometimes called .45 Auto. I strongly suggest getting hardball FMJ rounds, as hollow-points seem to be prone to misfeeding in the break-in period. +- Matt also has a few .22s and a Nagant he can bring. and if y'all want to bring your own guns, that's cool, too - bring your own ammo.

Saturday Shooting:

+

Will be taking a friend from out of town shooting at the Grasslands plinking range on Saturday the 26th - that's this coming Saturday - if anyone would like to come along! I will be bringing: Marlin Model 60 .22, Mosin-Nagant 1891/30, Ruger Mk. III .22, and Kimber Custom II .45 ACP. If you'd like to shoot my guns, it'd be cool if you brought some ammo for those that you'd like to shoot - we'll pool so that everyone gets a chance, to be sure*. Also, if you'd like, feel free to bring guns and ammo of your own! This will be a fun, informal, safe time for plinking and light target shooting - I have a reactive plinking target borrowed from James, a few 2-liter bottles I can fill with water, and some old, empty computer cases to shoot at farther distances with larger rounds. Don't forget ear- and eye-protection! If you don't have any, Harbor Freight, three blocks away, sells muffs and safety glasses for way cheap.

+

Where: Meet at Matt's house (1104 Remington St. #304) in order to consolidate cars and pool out to the grasslands - it's a bit of a drive! +When: Meet at Matt's at about 10:30 to leave by 11. I can make snacks, or you can come fed, but eating while handling lead bullets is generally a Bad Idea, so don't plan on bringing anything to the actual shooting.

+

Let me know if you're coming in the comments :3

+
    +
  • For those keeping track, that's: +• .22 LR, very cheap, get it anywhere, anything's fine. +• 7.62x54R Nagant, a surplus round that averages $4.50/20 rounds at Jensen's or Jax, again anything's fine. +• .45 ACP (that's ACP or Auto, not colt, not GAP) full metal jacket, averages about $17.00/50 at Jensen's or Jax, avoid hollowpoint, do not get Winchester white box (Wal-Mart) please

Pardon me if I seem rather escapist, but I'm just gonna drop the subject. Kelly, I tried, I really did, and I got some gratitude for it, but reposting the conversation wasn't to anyone's benefit, and made me feel just as bad as the original did. Michael, I'm not going to choose sides; I don't feel comfortable in this tizzy. Kindra, maybe there's a way you can salvage my respect for you, but I don't know what it is. Everyone else, I'm out.

In other news, school still sucks. Failed another math test I thought I did well on. I think I might be last in class rank. Latin has a 200 line poetry test coming up next week. Second half of a history test next week. Speaking of history, I ditched an assembly ("don't drink and drive") and got to Carter's class on time, along with about half of the class, only to find out that the assembly ran 20 minutes late, making it completely obvious who ditched and who didn't. Carter got pissed at the administration.

So I've got myself four composers so far, plus myself, for an opening catalog of five composers with about 10-15 pieces among them. This is almost more than I hoped for, considering I advertised with a single-page website, and that's it! The problem I'm having, though, is that I'm getting a lot of very modern music (of the composers, two are college students, two are college professors, and one is a church organist), all of which is pretty difficult, with only two pieces at the level 3 of 5 difficulty, and the rest up at 4 and 5.

+

Should I start actively soliciting composers to publish for me? Particularly, composers who I know can write some easier to perform music? Part of me feels pretty awful soliciting anything, but the other part knows I should get over that if I want to be successful.

+

Is this the right time to start that

All came out to $265 or so, which is a pretty good deal, I suppose. I have the old box up and limping with the case open and the PSU lifted out to improve circulation. Works well enough to back up all that I need just in case.

I'm trying to decide whether or not I want to go through the trouble of using lilypond to publish all of my scores. It would be a little harder on me, but the result seems to be easier to read with a few caveats (the cross-bar tie between measures five and six, the dot collision in measure six, both in the right hand piano part). I spent the day learning the lilypond syntax, and I can do much more with it than with Sibelius

School and work are taking a lot more time than I anticipated. Sorry I'm not around online and not posting here very much. Still working on all of those projects underway, just not nearly as much. Should calm down soon.

Classes are okay, nothing great, nothing terrible. The new building is amazing, though, and I feel like I'm actually getting to help in some respects. With our regular replacement cycle of two years at work, we pulled 52 relatively good computers (3GHz, 1G RAM, 40G SATA hard drives, but only two PCI slots, no PCI-E or AGP, so onboard video only). I pulled some strings and initiated some dialogs, and somehow got 19 of those computers, plus 21 fairly decent 17" LCDs, PLUS 10 laptops taken over to the new building. All of those desktops are going in the music composition lab, which I'll be helping to set up. The Music people didn't know about the free equipment transfers, so they're all excited to be getting this stuff for free from the library. There's a whole lot of politics involved, really: campus surplus would have us transfer the machines through them (charging $25 per computer, plus the cost of recycling the current hard drive and buying a new one) and have the music department buy the computers from them afterwards. As the department would be using student tech fees, which bought the computers in the first place, to do this, students would effectively be buying the computers twice. No one in LTS is a fan of that, though, so we do our best to work around that by technically willing the computers to an individual over in the new department. Kinda sneaky, I guess, but worth it.

I guess that's it, really. x.

I'm looking for suggestions to get a traditional mediums piece done of my mom's dog, who's getting up there in years. I think it'd be a good sort of present. Looking to have it done and in my hands by October 16th at the earliest, and Christmas at the latest. Anyone have any suggestions for artists

Dr. Thiem -

+

Dr. Thiem agreed to allow me to take String Techniques by working with one of her graduate students in cello pedagogy since there was a time-conflict with one of my other classes. A time-conflict override requires her action, I have no control over the situation, a fact confirmed by the university Registrar's office. I get an email from her telling me what time the cello pedagogy will be, so I email her back asking her kindly again to help me with the override. She emails me back within the hour to say that she is very unhappy with the fact that I haven't registered for the class yet, and that she expects me to talk to the student secretary of the music building and get her to override me into the class(!!). I explain to her that time-conflict overrides are intended to be done by the teacher, and she replies that she doesn't have access to that part yet. I ask the secretary, who throws a fit about Dr. Thiem, saying that she most certainly does have access, and that if she sends any more students to her (the secretary) for registration, blah blah blah. Basically, I get in trouble for a teacher's incompetence.

+

Dr. Asbill -

+

Dr. Asbill teaches one of two sections of beginning conducting. I signed up for one section (with the other professor), but we started the first three class periods with the entire class combined. Then, Dr. Asbill, who had barely let the other professor speak more than two or three words per period, simply had us count of 1, 2, 1, 2, and made all the twos go with the other professor and all the ones stay with him. I didn't really think anything of it until Tuesday, when he informed half our class that they weren't registered for his section and that we should do that within the next few days. I tried to register on Wednesday, only to find out that registration had closed, and I found out today that I can still get Dr. Asbil to file a late-registration class change. For $50. Basically, I have to pay for a teacher's incompetence, on top of my $4,000 semester.

They also talk of our being guilty of injustice, and their being the victims of an unjustifiable war. Brandy, and Tom got increasingly close-mouthed and sour. Although a certain sense of tripartite society survived down to Christian times, the three classes described in the Eddic poem "Rigdthula" bear little resemblance to Dumezil's three. It is often argued, and still oftener thought, that none but bad men would desire to weaken these salutary beliefs; and there can be nothing wrong, it is thought, in restraining bad men, and prohibiting what only such men would wish to practice. At its nearest point the wall was little more than one league from the City, and that was south-eastward. When he saw Jack Hare jump towards the fire, and the Practical Man brandishing the toasting-fork, Sir Isaac grabbed the strings of gravitational force that bound Jack to his destiny and PULLED--- That's a seventy-four gun privateer, besides. To honour a group of British nobles, treacherously slain at a conference by Hengist's guards, Aurelius decides to erect a great monument near Amesbury. That being so, he did not chortle when he went upstairs. Let stand. This ensures that when the garbage collector runs, it has complete access to the memory in the heap and can perform its tasks safely without the threat of being preempted by another thread. And then you may begin to laugh. The data are stored in Column 1 and renamed "Age." Pull your hand back. I don't remember that any secrets were revealed to me, nor do I remember any avid curiosity on my part to learn something I wasn't supposed to--perhaps I was too young to know what to listen for. You don't remember how awful it is being normal. Highlight the desired state tax table and press Enter. Abraham had now reached a ripe old age, and the LORD had blessed him in every way. This doesn't alter either string, any more than 2+3 alters either 2 or 3. And I will say firmly that it is the author who says, "One does feel," who is really an egoist; and the author who says, "I believe," who is not an egoist. The police have agreed to let us show this video. She was particularly fond of Union Maj. Joseph Willard, some years her senior, who courted her amid the competitive field of Blue and Gray. And he rose up that night, and took his two wives, and his two womanservants, and his eleven sons, and passed over the ford Jabbok. Nonetheless I am surprised to see the amount my week's worth of toil has actually brought me. "How Noble," the Reverend Mother sneered.

Bad enough for an LJ cut +The sex, all two times, was mediocre; we talked about only a small segment of things over and over again; we each felt that we had to hide part of ourselves to match the other person; you broke up with me a total of three times, all for the same reason; and we finally ended things over our first argument: about the sheets on the bed. Hardly a deep relationship. + +I don't want you back. I saw the end of the relationship coming months in advance, and I know you felt it. It was a relief when the tension was broken and I no longer had to work to keep that non-balance working. I don't love you anymore, except out of some perverse brotherhood after having known you for so long, and I don't expect you to take me back in any way. + +So why am I still torn up? I think because I hate you. Like, true hatred, utter loathing, complete contempt for the way you ruined my life - the way I view myself, the way I interact with others, and every daily trivial task that I have to deal with - and it's making me hate myself in turn. I want to hurt you as bad as you hurt me, and that's a pretty ugly feeling. + +Andrew Streyer, I hope you live a happy life with whomever you want, doing whatever you want, but please don't ever talk to me again. + +

Shopping today, I was almost hit by a car trying to turn in the wrong way down one of those one way parking-lot lanes, so I pointed to the arrow on the ground indicating the lane's one-way-itude. Some guy who witnessed this accosted me on the way in and called FoCo the "Jackass capitol of the west" and implied that I might be the president of such a capitol. Further, he indicated that he would slit his wrists if he was from such a jackass state, and implied that I should do the same.

I didn't have time to commend him for how well he seems to be fitting in :oP

Jesus.. why do I do these things to myself?

+

Anyhow, in my ongoing attempts to ACTUALLY COMPLETE A PIECE OF WRITING, I'm going to try NaNoWriMo again this year, and I'm really working on it, I promise! I have a LaTeX shell that I just need to fill in as I write (though I'll likely write in plain text and just copypasta everything into the shell later, since all the pretty colors of LaTeX are distracting :D), I just got back from the first Meet'n'Greet and I plan on going to as many Write-Ins ans I can (FoCoNaNo-ers are surprisingly like furries, I must say; whether this is good or bad is yet to be decided c.c), and I have an outline that I plan on actually following (last year, my characters got out of control and turned out to be just as boring as I am).

+

As for the other projects, I'll likely pick Manifesto up again in December (snow is for spiritualism, I guess), and maybe I'll do the Tarot project over Christmas break, since school and work stole that out from under me pretty efficiently - I even have a volunteer who wants readings done. The problem is I'm good at planning (the novel, Manifesto, and the Tarot project are all completed on paper) but I need to work on completing. Oh well, that's my goal with this mess.

Decided to do a few little monologues, short stories, snippets.. whatever in preparation for NaNoWriMo just to get into the writing mood again. Here's the first, non-fiction (sadly).

+
Customers suck, especially when they're employees. +"LTS, this is Matt, how can I help you?" + +It's the standard line that all folks get when they call our department, Library Technical Services. It's one of those lines that is so rote, such a patterned behaviour, that I've answered my own cell-phone with it once or twice. I've only worked at the campus library for a year and a half at this point, and a good percentage of the problems we take care of are reported through a form on the library's intranet. Even so, I've got that line down pat. I lower my voice half an octave or so, speak quietly, soothingly. The people who call rather than using the request form are usually doing so for a reason - they want service now, their problem is urgent, and usually affects more than just themselves. Most emergencies with the public computers, desktops or laptops, are reported through a phone call. + +"I... I can't find Photoshop, and I can't find Page Maker, and I can't find Outlook, and... and gosh darnit, you guys promised all of this would be on my new computer!" the frustrated voice whines from the receiver. + +"Alright, ma'am, slow up a sec, everything's going to be alright, now--" + +"No, everything is not going to be alright! I was told I'd have all the software that was on my old machine back again, and it's not, otherwise why would you guys ask for it?" + +"Ma'am, please slow down, I think there's been a misunderstanding," I plead. "When we upgraded your computer, you were upgraded to Office 2007, so your desktop shortcut to Outlook is probably broken. I can fix that and install the other software items you need here in just a sec... Can you compile a list of all the old software you had on your computer?" + +She's near tears by now. "I don't understand why you guys even asked me what software I wanted on the new computer if you're not going to install any of it!" + +"That's where the misunderstanding was," I reply hastily. "We were asking for a list of software to be installed on everyone's computer in Liaisons, not just your station. We install the same operating system image on everyone's computer in that area." + +"Well, this is absurd. I need Outlook back, and I need Photoshop, and PageMaker!" She sounds so much like a petulant child, I drop the phone. No, actually, that's a lie. I throw the phone. The portable handset skitters across the carpet and knocks against the wall, the battery cover snapping open and the battery pack tumbling free, smoking. No lie, there - I rush to pick up the battery pack and hold the shorting wires apart so that I can tape them separately. + +I really shouldn't have thrown the phone, to be honest. It was just as childish and petulant as the employee I was talking to, but today is not a good day for me. It feels like school and work are conspiring against me to make my life as hard as possible. The last thing I need is an employee throwing a temper tantrum and blaming me for her non-issues blown way out of proportion. We know it's a non-issue: her software was indeed included on the list we were given with her name beside it, so we checked her drive over the network and found that the last access times for Photoshop and PageMaker were only a few hours after their creation dates, more than a year ago. Always on his quest to trim down the size of images, boss had gone on a bit of a spree, or the opposite of a spree, rather, pointedly not including software that people didn't use on the Liaisons image. + +A minute and a half later finds me sitting in my chair trying to fix the portable handset I'd just thrown across the lab with little success, when the employee comes peeking in through the door to LTS. I hold up the phone toward her and mumble something about having a little bit of trouble with the handset, simple mechanical repair, sorry for the dropped call. My boss steps out of the office between us, just now getting up to see what the noise was. + +"Bob," she whines. "When you gave me the new computer, I was told that I would have all of my old programs on it and there not there!" She still sounds a hairsbreadth away from tears, and my boss's eyes go wide at the sound, his muscles tensing as he backs away from this new threat. + +"I think there was a misunderstanding," he utters. "Everything will be alright, if you just give us a second, we'll--" + +I'm already wincing away at the sound of his very familiar words by the time she stamps her foot. I don't stay to hear the same thing over again, and quietly duck out around her to sneak out of the library and walk around the building once. I'm not relaxed enough by the time I reach the front doors and so I walk around the building a second time, thinking. Most of the employees in the library are sheep. I don't mind that, because, as technical support, it makes my job a whole lot easier. I tell them to do this, not to do that, and they obey with a look of fear or reverential awe in their eyes. We have a few that are bad for thinking they know rather more about computers than they really do, but this one is the worst type: the customer. The customer is always right, even when they're wrong, to the detriment of the those around them. + +When I get back into the lab, my boss hands me an Adobe CS2 Premium case, an Adobe PageMaker disk, a DreamWeaver disk, and a list of downloadable software with an apologetic look. "She was awful... I think I'm scarred for life," he mumbles. "I'm gonna need you to install those for her. She went home for the day, though, so feel free to do it remotely." + +"What's her computer again?" I ask resignedly. + +"nwaite" + +"Nora? Nancy? I forgot her name. Guess I blocked it from my mind." + +"It's easy to remember: 'I moan' backwards." + +

Every Angel is Terrible (or - An Exercise in Pathos) +"Ein jeder Engel ist schrecklich," wrote Rainer Maria Rilke. Every angel is terrible. + +I read that sentence countless years ago as part of some modern sculpture exhibit while I was studying abroad. I don't even remember what the sculpture was about, but I remember the title of the piece, and soon adopted it as my own. It became my email signature, and appeared in various fora and journals that I kept here and there online. I don't think I ever figured out what it really meant for several years. + +Once I'd made tenure and discovered that the library was useful for something other than the wireless internet and a place to send my students in order to torture them with real research, I found a copy of the Duino Elegies, the source of the line, secreted between two large volumes. The slim pocket-sized volume was checked out by me for more than a year, renewed month after month as I slogged through the dense and wanderful poetry, German on the left-hand pages and English on the right side. + +When I had used the phrase, I had used it ironically. I was raised by two almost militantly atheist parents, both engineers, and I'd be lying if I said that none of their skepticism had rubbed off on me. To me, the phrase meant that every angel was terrible because they signified a crutch. Something to blame when things went wrong, something to thank for chance. Context means the world, though, and my take on the single phrase had turned it on its head. + +"Who," Rilke begins, "though I screamed, would hear me amongst the ranks of the angels?" The depths of despair one plumbs after the death of a family member always seems personal, unique, and applicable only to the one suffering, at least from their point of view. People can always sympathize and try to talk you back up into the comparative heights of day-to-day life, but it always seems as though they couldn't possibly understand. Who, after all, could possibly hear and understand amongst the cries of the world? + +I lost Peter after thirty years of knowing each other, seventeen years of living together, ten years of living as a married couple. At the beginning, I had spent nights and days wondering what was so different about this relationship from the others. It began with the same level of awkwardness of those other relationships I had had that sprung from friendships into something more. The awkwardness had given way to the standard elation, and the elation settinged into the comfortable familiarity punctuated by arguments I'd been through before and those small surprises we gave each other over the years. + +He was someone to whom I was able to give myself in my entirety, though. Totally honest, even in his little lies - even though his words might say something, his voice and his body told nothing but the truth. I gave him myself to him and he did the same to me. We could live together without destroying each other. When the marriage acts were passed, we were among the first couples down at the courthouse to apply for a marriage certificate, not because we were elated, but because we had felt as though we had been married for the past seven years anyway. + +Despite our standard arguments and a few problems with money necessitating our move from the house we were living in to a condo, most of our problems came from outside our happy family of three (one must never forget the cat). Peter quit his job teaching history at the local highschool a year after the marriage when a few parents complained to the school's administration about the fact that he was teaching about the marriage acts in his class when he would talk about current events, mentioning his sexuality as a statement of fact. Administration had suggested that perhaps the subject was still too sore for some people to be talking about it to their kids, and Peter had suggested that that if he didn't teach his students the other side of the issue, they would only get that sore side taught to them by parents. He finished out the semester and spent most of that time searching for new work. On the day of finals for that class, the students threw him a party, and Peter invited me along. + +Being more distanced from angry parents in college, I experienced little enough in the way of discrimination from my students and their families, though it helped that I taught in the music department and sexuality rarely came up. Instead, discrimination came from my fellow professors and even some of the administration. Despite colleges supposedly being a hotbed for it, all the supposed liberalism was only apparent when the problem was abstracted and far from home. When I brought Peter to what amounted to the department's Christmas party soon after his last day at the high school and introduced him as my husband, quite of the few who had argued so eloquently for gay marriage subsequently treated me different and one or two were down-right chilly to me after the fact, as though I might somehow give them the gay. It was even implied by the department head that I shouldn't mention this to students, and though he said that it was for my own good lest I face litigious parents, I get the feeling he thought I might recruit. + +With Peter now working at the public library and making less money than previously, though, I stayed on the job. I was tenured, and the money was helping us to live comfortably despite the move during the mortgage crisis. + +We were given far too little time to deal with the issue before it came to a head. Peter came home from the library looking decidedly harried, a rip in his shirt at the breast pocket. He walked a co-worker home daily. She lived on his way home, and didn't feel safe in the city, despite how safe everyone claimed that it was. As if to prove some terrible point, a block after Peter had seen her to her door and walked on, he was jumped by two males he never saw clearly. One grabbed the front of his shirt, ripping it in the process and held a knife against his belly while the other fished through his pockets, taking his wallet, music player, and key-chain. + +That night, we filed a report with the police, the officer promising what help he could, but assuring us that, without any description, there was little we could do but get new keys made and cancel his credit cards. The rest of the evening was spent with me doting on him and researching the bus-routes to get him to work the next day - I couldn't convince him to take a three-day weekend. I made him promise to call me when he got to work, and right before he left. + +When I got the second call, I ducked out of work early, bringing the papers I was grading home with me. I expected Peter to get home before me, but he wasn't there. I called the library; they said he had left already. I waited another ten minutes before I struck out along the route I knew he took to get home. + +While I don't remember much after that, I can tell what I know now. Peter had been stabbed three times not two blocks from where he had been attacked only the night before. The attackers had taped a sign with the word 'FAG' crudely written in marker to his back. Clutched in his hand was his keychain, a wallet-sized picture of us encased in a simple plastic frame. + +He lived for three more days in a coma with two surgeries in the process before he passed away. + +This tore me apart, to state the obvious, but worse than that were the sympathies I gained. Both our families visited, and the resulting media flurry crushed us. Friends, acquaintances, and people we didn't even know confronted us to share their feelings on the matter. Most tried to console us on the matter, though several called us sinners and one or two even tried to imply my guilt in the crime. + +On the third night after Peter's death, when things got to be too much, I went for a walk. I walked and walked. I headed out West under some other authority's direction - it was as though I wasn't in control of my body anymore. businesses thinned and stopped, and after a while, houses began to thin, too. + +Shivering in the March evening's chill, I came to the edge of town. Staring up at the mountains that prevented further sprawl of the town, I lingered. The sun set, the moon rose, stars faded into view, and still I stared at those mountains. The first true thought that entered my mind was of how small I was, mentally trying to see how many of me stacked head to toe and packed in together it would take to equal one of those mountains, and how little all my problems would mean to that many people. + +The sound of a car door shutting brought me out of my reverie, and I blinked at my surroundings. I was standing at the side of the road with the barbed wire of the open-space fence clenched in my fists, a small two-door car parked about tenty feet away from me. It was a small wonder I hadn't heard it before, nor even noticed the headlights. + +Once the driver walking towards me resolved from a black cutout against his headlights to the features of one of my students, I relaxed my grip on the fence. Without saying a word, he led me over to the passenger door of his car and made me sit in the seat. He tore strips from a towel in his back seat to wrap my bleeding hands in and used one to wipe the tears and snot from my face before shutting the door and turning the car around. + +When we reached the university, he finally spoke, asking me where I lived from there.

It wasn't a guy hug, but it was far from any embrace I'd shared with Peter.

Woo, mom dragged me to the Obama rally today. It was.. strange. I don't think the organizers were expecting the population of Fort Collins to pile on campus, and so the line wound up being 2.5-3 miles long. Still, it was kinda fun to go, and is probably the closest to a (possible) president I'll ever get

I haven't composed more than four or five measures in the past two and a half weeks because upgrading Sibelius took away all the functionality that I actually liked and used in the previous version. I don't know what to do anymore.

Hopefully I can keep this up.

+
Ignore this +Mom and I piled into the car at about seven that morning, squeezing ourselves in amongst a laundry basket full of a bubble of my clothes, my computers, and bedding enough for one who lives in Colorado and knows what the winters can be like. Check in wasn't until four that afternoon, but there was still quite the drive ahead of us in order to get there on time and to give us some time in town for lunch and walking. + +"Exciting, isn't it?" my mom said. + +"Yeah, stoked," I replied with as much sarcasm as I could muster that early in the morning. "Why can't you empty-nest like all the other parents?" + +She laughed. "Why would I? I get the dogs all to myself now, I can go hiking whenever I want, and hey, I can make as much spinach as I want." + +"Hey, I like spinach too! And you know I'm going to go crazy without my pups there to keep me company." + +She nodded and focused on getting us down the mountain of her driveway and onto asphalt. Steamboat is tucked nicely in a valley, and the floor of that valley is decently flat, but unless you live in the middle of the town, you're in the hills. Much as I loved the Rocky Mountains, I had no desire to go to college in my hometown, sacrificing proximity to home for a school that wasn't filled with slackers who picked the school based on its proximity to the very popular ski slope. I really was excited to be going to college, where I could get an education that was pertinent to me. + +The next hour or so was spent in silence rather than our usual banter due to the early hour. I nursed my coffee for most of that time and watched as we pulled north from the town, slipping past habitation and into the densely packed wilderness, walls of building giving way to the walls of the pine forest. We wound our way up and north - up into the passes and north of the town, driving for Wyoming. Even though I was going to school almost directly east, it was faster for us to duck up to Wyoming for I-80 and head for I-25 to duck south back into Colorado to head for Fort Collins than to try driving east. + +With the sun heading to the top of the sky, I drained my now chilly coffee in a few quick gulps and reached back behind my seat to tuck the travel mug into my backpack. The mug had been one of my parting gifts from my friends who still had a year left of high school, and my mom had supplemented that with a small coffee maker. I had told her I didn't like drip coffee, but she assured me that I would most certainly get more use out of that coffee maker than any of my textbooks. Hard to disagree there. + +"I can't believe you picked somewhere so flat!" she exclaimed, breaking the silence of our drive to that point. + +"Me either. I feel as though I'm twice as tall there and I might just tip over, like it's harder to balance or something." + +"At least there are plenty trees." + +"Yeah, to hide the lack of mountains." + +"And you can bike easier." + +"Mmhm." I could sense where this was headed. My mom would always talk about the town before broaching the next subject. + +"And why did you pick such a stuck up little cow-town? I mean, it's not Greeley, but you could've gone to Boulder! Fort Collins is so... so..." + +"Conservative? I know, but that's just the town. I'll be living in the dorms." + +"Do you think they'll be that different?" she asked, sounding genuinely worried by now. + +"I hope so," I murmurred distractedly. We'd had most of this conversation before. "You know what they say: if you're not a liberal in college, you have no heart." + +"Well, you know the rest of that saying says that if you're not a conservative by forty that you have no brain, and plenty of your classmates' parents will have chosen their school for them; indoctrinated them." + +"Like you did me?" I grinned back to her sidelong glarsays that if you're not a conservative by forty that you have no brain, and plenty of your classmates' parents will have chosen their school for them; indoctrinated them." + +"Like you did me?" I grinned back to her sidelong glare. + +"Be serious, you know what I mean..." + +I nodded and sat for a bit before replying, "At least I'm not going to Wyoming." + +"I don't think I'd let you." Her expression turned pained, "Don't want you to be the next Matthew Shepherd. Poor kid..." + +"I know, mom. You saw the office, though, they clearly have enough gay people there for them to have an office, and to have some influence ofver how things are run." + +She nodded and shrugged as best as one can while holding at ten and two, a cautious driver. "But that's a group thing. You know, sociology and what not. That's not going to stop some crazy individual who's convinced deep down that God hates fags and it's their sworn duty to usher them straight to hell." + +"Well, yeah. I promise I'll be safe," I said dismissively. This conversation was getting worn out from how often we had had it. "And hey, maybe I'll even meet someone local to date." + +Smirking, she replied, "You can date whoever you want, Cory, I'm not going to stop you. I am going to suggest that those internet relationships you've had aren't exactly healthy, is all. Much as I liked Chris..." + +Nice disclaimer, I thought. And she really had liked Chris. It was tough on both of us when that relationship had ended as poorly as it did. "I know, I know. I'll go shopping and bring home a nice boy sometime, one of those funny ones." + +"Hey," she said mock defensively, laughing. "I'm not the one that needs a boyfriend, it's you. Date who you want, seriously. Jared and I will support you, whoever you wind up with." + +"Yeah," I said distractedly. I got the feeling that Jared wasn't exactly a big fan of having a gay step son. Mom had the final say, though, and promised me that even if that was the case, I came first for her, and didn't have anything to worry about on that end. + +Another bit of silence greeted us as the trees around the road began to thin and the omnipresent greenery shifted from the greenish blue of the pine trees to the brownish green of scrub. Wyoming was close. I hoped that meant food was close, as well. We had planned on stopping somewhere along I-80 in order to pick something up. + + +"Did you ever get in touch with your roommate?" mom asked. + +"Yeah, he emailed me back. Sounds like kind of a jerk," I said, brow furrowing. "He's in some sort of fraternity, I think. Hopefully that means I won't see him much. Don't know how I feel about living with someone who spells 'cool' with a 'k'." + +"Great," she muttered in response. "Now I'm really worried." + +"Don't be, mom. You know I can take care of myself." + +"So you always say, I just don't want you calling me to say you couldn't prove that." + +I blinked and frowned, mildly offended at that. I stared out the window for a little bit before looking over at my mom who had the steering wheel in a while-knuckled grip. She looked genuinely worried, "I'll talk to the GLBT student services guys about it, just to make sure I've got someone on my side if something happens, promise." + +She nodded and relaxed her grip somewhat, "Alright. Didn't mean to sound rude, I just worry sometimes." + +I gave a little sigh of a laugh, "Maybe you are empty nesting." + +*** + +Full of bagel, cream cheese, and lax, Our route turned east along I-80 for the few miles it took to get to I-25. Even though I'd gotten a coffee to go with our lunch, I was still tired. When my mom asked, I told her it was how boring the bland landscape was after the relative excitement of the mountains and greenery. I had barely slept the night before. Despite trying to act cool about the whole moving to college thing, excitement really had taken its toll on me, and I had alternated between worrying in bed and worrying at my desk. I must've mowed through half the container of olives we had in the fridge that night, sneaking out so as not to wake my mom and Jared as I made my food raids. Those spicy olives straight from the container were one of my comfort foods. One of those things that has to be eaten with the fingers. + +I suppose I'm a little weird. + +The conversation wandered around a little more between my mom and my self as she shared anecdotes from her own college life and I talked about recent stories about my friends as news from the perennial diaspora of high school graduates to colleges across the country trickled back to me. "Other Cory" had wound up down in Denver at the University of Colorado's campus there, and he had sent me a few pictures from his most recent visit down there. A few more friends from band had made their way to CU's Boulder campus, where my mom had wanted me to go, and the Inseparable Trio of Karen, Jessie and Nate had made their way to the University of Northern Colorado in Greeley, just a half hour away from where I was headed. Only one other of my friends from band --- more an acquaintance than anything --- had picked Colorado State University as I had, trekking over to Fort Collins along with me for visits and auditions, though he wasn't moving in until later today. + +Most of my other friends, though, had spread out much further than Colorado. Many of the other band kids had filtered down to various schools in Texas for their music and education programs down there, and one or two made their way to each coast. Their parents were loaded, though, and could afford to pay for all the plane tickets and out of state tuition that was involved in such a move. + +I was comfortable heading three or four hours away, though. I felt that it was close enough to home that I could visit if I wanted once I got my car fixed over Thanksgiving break. Still, it was far enough away so that I wouldn't have to worry about my mom 'emtpy nesting' on me and coming over to visit, except for the concerts. Dad was down in Colorado Springs, which was a good distance away, though I didn't expect to see him quite as much. Since he was helping with tuition as well, he made in-state tuition a must. Not that I minded, I loved Colorado, it just meant that if I wanted to get away, I would have to choose my schools carefully. I knew CSU from the two times I had done summer band camp, so that was my logical choice. + +Sipping my way through my coffee, I let the flattening landscape and my mom's music lull me into an empty mind. Excitement and caffeine kept me from dozing, but it felt like the first real relaxation I'd had in a while. + +Dad had sent me on my way with his goofy stories from college: shooting out a street light with a .22 rifle and having to repaint twenty light posts for the city as his community service; drinking with friends; smoking enough pot at a party that he wandered into the wrong apartment when he'd tried to go home. "Just promise me you'll get a DD if you drink, be a DD when you don't, and call me once in a while," was his goodbye when I'd left for Steamboat again on Wednesday. He'd given me a check for fifty dollars and walked me out to Jared's Honda, the car I was borrowing for this last visit. + +Jared had little to say to when it came to college other than to agree with most of what my mom said and offer up common sense advice on doing my homework. I had watched his own kid graduate and move off to college, which was a much bigger deal to him - he and Jennifer had gone out to dinner on their own four or five times in as many weeks before she made her way across town to the Colorado Mountain College, and they had planned everything meticulously. It was understandable, I guess. He and my mom hadn't gotten married until my Sophomore year of high school - he was just that guy that lived with us, and I was just that kid his girlfriend had from before. Didn't matter much to us that I was leaving. And I don't suppose it helped that I liked guys. I was always just a little unnatural to him. + +Mom and dad had taken that whole thing pretty well, at least. There were a few long talks I had to sit through about whether or not the whole thing was a phase or not, what this meant for their hopes of grandchildren, who I would go out with, and so on, but after a while, it was all normal to them. They both liked Chris, they both had their concerns about the whole internet dating thing, and they both treated me as they always had, which I suppose was the most important thing. Say what you want about Colorado in general, but I guess when it's your kid, it's hard to freak out too much. Besides, they were both hippies once. + +The bigger concern amongs them, my parents and Jared, was that I wanted to go into music. That alone had caused more strife than coming out had. + +"You'll never make any money," was what their arguments had come down to. Usually, it was couched in some lecture-speak, like, "There's a fine line between doing what you love and doing what you have to do in order to live comfortably." I had been a good kid and rarely rolled my eyes, but after watching both parents suffer through work, after watching Jared's relief at his lay-off, and most importantly, watching Mr. Paulsen talk about how much he loved his job in music teaching our band, I had to roll my eyes at this. + +The arguments went back and forth, and my only concession had been to major in music education instead of just plain music. Teaching wouldn't be so bad, so long as I could teach music. + +*** + +"Is this...? Yeah, this has to be it." My mom muttered. + +I jerked my head up from where I was half-dozing against the window at the words. Blinking at the light, I looked around. From the time I had spaced out an hour or so before, the landscape had changed from brownish scrublands of Wyoming to the tan plains east of the Rockies that I knew from the drives to band camp. That had always been my dad's deal, and this was only my mom's second time driving to Fort Collins. + +"Yeah, take this one," I yawned. Rubbing at my face, I struggled towards wakefulness. I fumbled around and found the second half of my coffee, long cold by now, and finished it with a grimmace. "Hopefully the places here have better coffee than this." + +"Can't have you without your coffee," my mom laughed. "Good dreams?" + +"Nah, wasn't sleeping." + +"Mmhm. Do you always drool when you're not sleeping?" + +"Sure," I mumbled. "That's what spit valves are for." + +She laughed and steered her way towards campus. I guided her through the move-in day traffic onto the campus and toward the dorms, letting her interrupt me as patiently as I could with her outbursts of drumming the steering wheel while sing-songing, "This is exciiiiitiiiiing!" + +Following the crowds, we made it to the south end of campus slowly and pulled up along the side of the street with the other cars disgorging students and stuff. + +"Glad we made it here early," I mumbled. There were already twenty or so other families unpacking along the stretch of road, and more were visible in the parking lots on either side of the building. Looking over the bent 'H' shaped dorm and trying to count rooms, I grimmaced at the thought of that many families trying to move their children in at once. No, I corrected myself, that many times two, what with the whole roommate thing. + +Before unpacking anything, my mom and I made our way around one wing of the building toward the lobby. We stopped to pick up my key and get directions to the room itself. Walking along the hallway to the wings, my mom was bouncing on the balls of her feet, poking fun at me for being more excited than I was. + +"I'm excited, I promise. Just dreading the common restrooms." + +"Aw," she jibed. "They're not that bad, I promise. Just have to get used to it. And schedule your showers for when the least amount of people are in there. And wear sandals when you do." + +"Thanks mom, you fill me with confidence." + +"I aim to please," she shot back. + +The doors to the southwest wing on the second floor were propped open and standing just inside was a man who looked to be in his late twenties who introduced himself as Mark, the RA for the hall. + +"Small!" my mom blurted as we were shown to my room. Both Mark and I laughed as we followed her in, but I had to agree with her. The far wall was taken up by a bank of picture windows, and opposite that was a bank of closets, split into two sets, one for each person, I supposed. Other than that, the room was a bit drab and depressing. The two empty walls were tan brick, though each one was partially obscured with a cork-board painted an institutional sort of off-white. Along each of those walls was a long twin bed and a wooden desk that looked functional enough, though instead of drawers, the side of the desk held shelf space. Addict that I was, I was already mentally fitting my printer onto one of those shelves and my computer down by my feet. Tight fit. + +It looked all the more shabby for how empty it was: my roommate had yet to show up. + +I buried my sense of disappointment about the room under the activity of moving my stuff from the car to the room, one armload at a time, with my mom. She had made me clean out my whole room at home and throw away, give away, or sell as much as I could stand to, promising that it would be better, and after lugging only my computer, a laundry basket of clothes and bedding, and a few loads of books into the room, I had to agree with her forecast. In the process of cleaning out my rooms at my mom's and dad's, I was exposed to just how much junk one person could have. + +When we finished getting everything stacked on my bed, we made our way back to the car to make way for another family while we went out to lunch. + +"Well, your RA seems nice," mom quipped on the winding drive off campus. "Mine, when I lived in the dorms, was a big priss. She was useless as an RA, so we just pretended we didn't actually have one." + +"Yeah, he was cool," I replied distractedly, pointing her towards a little mexican restaurant I had found in my last year of band camp. + +After a pregnant pause, my mom asked, "So, when are you going to come out to him?" + +"I'll get around to it," I sighed. "It's not that big of a deal to me; I mean, it is normal for me. I think if I act that way, others will see it as normal, too." + +Mom nodded hesitantly. + +We made our way inside and ordered our food, taking our burritos and drinks to a booth out of the way near the back of the restaurant. + +``I don't mean to be such a worrywort,'' my mom began, and I knew that was a disclaimer that more worrying was on the way. ``But I just think that it's something you need to worry about a little yourself. In high school, it doesn't mean as much because you're not living with those people, and the teachers are pretty much required by law to be okay with it. They can't show it if they're not, I mean.'' + +``Well, sure, but I'd like to think that since I'm going to a school the size of the town I grew up in, that I'd get a little anonymity from that,'' I countered. ``Sure I live with these people, but it's only for this year. And besides, I can sort of... keep things down low, know what I mean? I can wait to meet people and see how they are before I go about being openly gay. Hell, I waited for fourteen years, trying to figure out how you guys would react before I mentioned it to my own parents.'' + +Mom laughed around her bite of food and nodded, pausing to swallow before continuing. ``I know I should trust you more, but it's my job to worry. Highschool went pretty smoothly for you, especially once you started doing so well in band, but that's not to say that the same thing will happen here. Just saying.'' + +We finished in silence before making our way back out to the car, my mom tapping the ``Now Hiring'' sign taped up next to the door and raising her eyebrows at me. ``You should think about this, Cory. You know we kind of had to skimp on your meal plan a bit, so you should probably think about getting a job pretty soon to get some food for yourself.'' + +I nodded as I slid into the passenger seat again, ``Hopefully the market's a little better out here than it was in Steamboat. I'd prefer to avoid working at Subway again.'' + +``Yeah, that wasn't exactly your dream job, was it?'' + +``I worry for those who dream of working at Subway. Anyway, let's check out this Old Town thing before I have to get back for yet another campus tour. Get to see the town before I'm buried under homework and classwork.'' + +As we drove up north to seek a parking spot near the long row of shops that was Old Town, I worked to reconcile my mom's worries with my lack of them. I just hoped it would be as easy as it was in my imagination. + +*** + +I saw my mom off shortly before we were supposed to gather for our first hall meeting. She cried as she hugged me and kissed at my cheeks, whispering those same worries to me one last time before she went back to her car. I suppose the reality that I had just moved away from home hadn't set in yet, but I was admittedly a little glad to see her go. I was starting to feel like her pessimism was dragging me down and I was eager to get into life at college. + +I had just enough time shift my basket of clothes to the floor and get my sheets onto the bed before Mark started hollering at the head of the hall, calling all the guys out of their rooms for the first meet and greet. + +``Alright guys, for those who don't know or forgot, I'm your RA, Mark. I'm supposed to read this big spiel to you, but I can sum it up to you pretty quickly. Come to me if you've got problems with each other, with school, or with your room, but not for help with your love life. The code to the bathroom is ninteen eleven, and we'll come up with a cleaning rotation later this weekend. No candles, no incense, no smoking, no drinking, no drugs, take it easy on the loud music, and respect your roommate. Basically what I'm saying is have fun, y'all are cool, but be nice to each other and don't burn the building down.'' + + +We all laughed and went down the hall, giving our names, majors, and room numbers. + +``Well, since that whole thing was supposed to take us an hour and a half and it took five minutes, why don't y'all just mingle for a bit, okay? I'm serious, get to know each other, 'cause you've got six months to go here and you're stuck where you are. No sneaking back to your room.'' As if to provide a role-model for us, he socked the closest guy on the shoulder and started in to introducing himself to him in depth. + +We all stood around awkwardly for a bit before loosening up and starting to actually talk with each other. There was one other music major, Eric, and two art majors, Joseph and Jamen, and the four of us somehow wound up clumped together amongst the crowd of thirty two guys. + +``So,'' ventured Jamen. "You two are majoring in burger flipping, and Joseph and I have telemarketing?" + +We laughed a little shyly and nodded. ``I guess that's how it goes,'' I said. ``So.. what kind of art do you guys do?'' + +``Painting and graphic design,'' Jamen said. + +``Comic book type stuff and graphic design,'' Joseph said, adding, ``Graphic design is about the only way to make any money in the business, so it seems like every art major is also in graphic design.'' + +Eric nodded. ``Sorta the same with music, except with education.'' + +``You an ed major, too?'' I asked. Eric nodded. ``I just kinda tacked it on when my parents complained that I'd never make any money.'' + +``Yeah, my parents got on my case about that, too,'' Eric chuckled. ``No such thing as professional choirs anymore. What instrument do you play? Or are you voice?'' + +``Trumpet. Pretty standard stuff.'' + +And so it went. We introduced ourselves to the other guys on the hall, but after half an hour or so of that, we wound up sitting against the wall, two of us on each side of the hall, facing each other and talking about random things, mostly about going to what was mostly an agricultural school for a liberal arts degree. + +

More drivel. I promise this is going somewhere. +Our check in was on Friday afternoon, and the rest of that weekend was to be orientation. Part of the whole deal was for us to do much of the activities in the orientation together as a hall and get to know each other well, what with having to live together for the next two semesters. + +The whole hall went to dinner together, along with the other three halls in our wing, in what was a concerted effort to not flood the dining hall with the entire dorm's worth of students at once. The four liberal arts majors sat together again after making their way through the line for pizza and pasta, and the line for drinks. The food was a little disappointing to me, having been brought up on health food under my mom and cooking for myself or going out with my dad. Mark assured us, though, that the our dorm had one of the worst kitchens around, and that if we wanted some better food, there were better kitchens to go to in order to get it. + +After dinner, there were some activities at the student center that we were all supposed to attend and supposedly enjoy, though the whole thing wound up being a blur of boredom and I spent more time picking the occasional table of free goodies such as CSU branded pens and cups than I did on the activities laid out for us. Poker and TV had never appealed to me. + +I asked Mark if I could leave early and got a shrug in response. + +Back at my room, I worked on setting up my computer at the minimal desk we were given. The tower just barely fit under the desk, and if I put it there, I was left with no room for my legs, so it wound up on the corner closest to the windows, where I figured it would block any sunlight from my monitor. The printer sat on one of the shelves beneath it and the shelf below that was able to hold my paper and binders and, I figured, my text books as well. There was only just room on the top of the desk for my monitor --- a battered but usable CRT --- and my keyboard and mouse. The corner closest to the bed had just enough room for my alarm clock. + +Cozy, for certain definitions of cozy, I thought. The room was about the size of my room back at home, and I only got half the space. + +I set up my pillow and blanket with my head near the desk and feet near the door so I would be close to the alarm clock and could see if anyone came in. + +My clothes and laundry basket both fit in my half of the closets, and my small library of books fit fairly well into the three shelves built into the insides of the closet. Unpacked, I decided to check out the bathroom. + +One nine one one, and I was in, confronted with a bathroom divided in half. On one side of the dividing wall were the urinals and stalls, and on the other, stalls for showers and a bank of sinks with mirrors. I peeked into one of the shower stalls on a whim and decided my mom was right: the floor was that a gritty concrete painted a sort of blue. Rough enough to provide traction, but smooth enough to clean. I loathed the texture. I'd go pick up some sandals or something as soon as i could figure out where. + +The rest of the evening was spent finishing my computer's setup and chatting on the 'net about the first day with a few friends on IRC and high school acquaintainces over IM. I crashed at the early hour of ten or so, setting my alarm for seven. + +*** + +My alarm startled me from one of those sleeps without dreams that comes with exhaustion and I nearly fell out of my bed. The narrow twin-size mattress would take some getting used to, to be sure. I sat up on the edge of my bed blearily and looked out the window across the open field separating the wings of the dorm to the northwest arm of the `H'. + +I hadn't set up my coffee maker yet, and finding a place to do so proved to be a challenge. Eventually, it wound up on the bottom shelf of my desk while my paper wound up under my printer and the binders stacked neatly under the head of my bed. Liquids above electronics equipment had gotten me in trouble before, and I was nearly paranoid now. + +Coffee got me awake enough to make it to the showers with my towel, where I rinsed off quickly, standing on the balls of my feet to avoid as much contact as possible with the distressingly textured floor. At least they had water pressure to the point where I could barely stand the shower turned on to full blast. Excellent. + +There was a sign taped to the doorway to the stairwell that said we would be meeting at eleven. ``Good, three hours,'' I mumbled. Time to eat and maybe go buy books. + +The eggs were unimpressive, but plentiful. I sat with Mark, who was holding his head in both hands over a cup of coffee. + +``Rough night?'' I asked, dousing the eggs in pepper. + +``Not a morning person,'' he grumbled, sucking down half the cup of coffee at once. ``And the coffee, it does nothing.'' + +``Well, yeah, if you can see the bottom of the mug through a full cup of coffee, you know it's going to be worthless. Brought my own coffee maker.'' + +``Good man, good man. Gotta say, if you want coffee, stay away from the dorms, go to one of the bajillion coffee houses out around campus.'' + +``Yeah? Any good ones in particular?'' + +``Any of them are good after a month of drinking this stuff. Don't get my first paycheck until Friday.'' + +I winced, ``Yeowch. There much in the way of jobs here on campus, speaking of?'' + +``Sure,'' he nodded. ``Check the campus site. They have some student job listings there.'' + +Eggs were followed by a bowl of cereal. So much cereal. At least breakfasts were looking to be fairly enjoyable. + +``Hey, uh, Mark,'' I mumbled, poking at my `Frosted Mini Spooners' with my spoon, the bran pillows only stubbornly soaking up the milk. ``My mom told me to say, er... well, she told me to, well, to come out to you,'' I continued hastily, sure that my face must be past red and well into purple. + +Interrupted from his coffee gazing, Mark blinked up at me blearily. ``Oh. Okay, cool.'' + +Anti-climax is the warp and woof of the world, but reactions like this were always a bit of a let down. The logical side of my brain argued with the illogical side, which was claiming loudly inside my head that this was a Big Deal, don't you know, and that Matthew Shepherd died in a hospital in this town, it's a Big Deal. ``Think it's gonna be a problem on the hall?'' is what I said instead. + +``Nah,'' he shrugged and downed the rest of his coffee. ``If they do, we can talk. Talk with the gay office, too, they can help if that happens.'' He heaved himself up from his chair and made his way to get coffee and cereal. He was wearing rubber ducky print pajama bottoms. + +Well, at least that's done, I thought, staring after my stumbling RA. + +I finished up my breakfast and left my tray at the window to the dish room before making my way back to my own room to pick up my class schedule. I wandered over to the student center and found the bookstore on the lower floor. + +Music theory one. New books only, sixty dollars. + +Introduction to music history. A used book, forty-eight dollars. + +Analytic trigonometry. One used book, twenty dollars. + +No books for trumpet studio, marching band, or symphonic band. + +I wandered to the other side of the shelves to look for the college composition books, gritting my teeth over the price I was paying for my few books. There was a crowd around the shelf holding the books for CO150, and it took a bit of waiting before I got to the sheet taped over the shelf, listing which sections needed which books. Great, two more books for that one class. + +``This is absurd,'' the girl mumbled to herself, squatting down and peering at the stacks of books I was headed towards myself. + +``Pardon,'' I said quietly, kneeling down and juggling the books I was already holding as I reached for one of the books. She smiled and handed me the other, one of the two used copies left, taking the other for herself. + +``Another thirty dollars, here you go,'' she said. + +``Really? Jeeze... this is, like, half of my savings!'' + +``I know, I should go into text book publishing.'' She smirked and hefted her own stack, looking appraisingly at mine, ``You got a pretty light load, though, looks like.'' + +Following her over to the zig-zagging line to check out, ``I suppose. How many classes are you taking that you have eight... ten books?'' + +``Four,'' she said over her shoulder. ``I'm an English major. We're sort of required to read.'' + +I nodded, feeling my ears redden, ``Oh, yeah...'' + +When we reached the end of the line, she tilted her head and shifted her weight to one side so as to read the spines of my own books, ``Music major?'' + +``Yeah, music education.'' + +``Mm. I guess they just lump everyone together in composition, I guess. I thought the entry exam was BS, so I skimped on it. A basic writing class sounds just as full of BS, though. Guess I should've tried harder.'' + +I nodded with as much commiseration as I could muster. I had done my best on that exam and placed solidly into that middle level class. ``I'm Cory, by the way, since we're in the same section and all.'' + +``Kris,'' she replied. ``I'd shake your hand, but I got an armload of books, so I guess this awkward run-on sentence will have to do for now.'' + +We chatted our way through the line. She was the daughter of two engineers and lived in Boulder. She certainly looked the part. Two t-shirts --- one brown and one pink --- with band names on them; a tiered, crepe-fabric skirt the color of green tea; and her short, dishwater blonde hair done up in chaotic whorls above her head, doing little to hide the lopsided piercings in her ears: a silver hoop in each, two studs in her left ear and one in her right. She was fairly attractive, I thought, as much as I could be the judge of that. Rumpled without being dumpy, stocky, a bit of a tummy without being fat. It suited her. + +We each went our separate ways after paying for our books, waving our goodbyes as I headed back to my room, dwelling on how much money it had cost for my five books. Hopefully the classes would be worth it. I hadn't seen the bills my parents had gotten from the university, but from the way they talked, this was quite the undertaking in all aspects. + +Relevant education is expensive, I thought. + +*** + +The rest of that first weekend was a flurry of, I thought, useless and overwrought activity. There were two more tours of the campus, to add to the two I had already taken. There was a series of games we had to play in one of the large grassy areas to the west of the student center that were probably intended to get us to relax but were almost universally greeted with sarcasm. All the new freshmen packed together so that our sweating bodies spelled out `CSU' while a photographer on the roof of the recreation center took our picture. I had a bit to do for marching band, but other than that, the first weekend of school had very little to actually do with school. + +Eric, Joseph, Jamen, and I all hung out together for most of the weekend, sampling the food at a few of the other dorms around the campus and finding a few places that actually served food worth eating. Mark and I headed to a coffee shop north of campus and ran into Kris there, where we watched a woman who looked rather a lot like Kris only taller cook omelets and waffles, drinking our pricey espresso drinks and feeling out of place. + +My roommate didn't show up until Sunday night at about ten. I was just heading to bed, but since he needed to unpack all his stuff, I figured I'd stay up a bit longer and talk with him while he did so. + +Thomas was a short, fit looking kid with a week's worth of stubble on his cheeks and chin, colored red, brown, and gray. He moved in a dazed sort of way, though he didn't seem particularly confused. When he talked, I could tell he was a little stoned. + +``So,'' I ventured. ``How were you able to get out of this weekend's madness?'' + +``I'm a sophomore, just chillin' in the dorms for another year,'' he drawled. ``Didn't get my act together last year. Heh. 'Sides, I ain't payin' for this place, m' dad's got that covered.'' + +I smirked and nodded, lounging back in my desk chair. The thing was something of a mockery of a rocking chair: it had two rails along the bottom like a rocking chair, but they were straight and shaped so that it only had three positions: forward middle and back. ``Good thing. Bunch of bull this weekend, I thought.'' + +Thomas chuckled in that stoner rumble of his, ``Yeah, I 'member that shit. All team building and `go rams' and hype. Fuckin' gay.'' + +I hid my wince behind my travel mug of water. + +``Anyway, 'nough of that. I'm in for journalism, how 'bout you?'' he continued blithely. + +``Music eduation.'' + +``Oh, teacher, cool. I respect that. Whatcha play?'' + +``Trumpet,'' I replied, gesturing to the narrow case by my bed with my foot. + +``Awesome,'' he said, nodding. He nodded for about thirty seconds, hands absent mindedly arranging books again and again on his desk. I got the feeling he was a little eccentric, like he was hearing music in his head that he was nodding to. Maybe he really was just stoned. ``Hey, uh... Cory. You... y'know... smokeup at all?'' + +``Er... no,'' I shook my head. That answered that, then. ``Not against it or anything, just never had the chance.'' + +``Oh, cool, cool,'' Thomas mumbled, getting his stuff all put away and sprawling back on his ratty covers. ``I, y'know, I'm kinda into it a bit. Heh heh. A lot, really. Just let me know if it bothers you, and I won't do it in her or anythin'.'' + +My stomach turned a little in my nervousness. I hadn't screwed around with drugs at all in highschool, though I'd read plenty: I knew all the good sites. My parents had both talked about it some and discouraged me, each in their own way. Didn't stop me from being curious, though. ``I really... well, I guess I don't care. Never been around it. I'll let you know if it bugs me.'' + +``Mm.'' Thomas had pulled out his MP3 player and started fiddling with it. I sat for a bit before getting up to turn off the light, leaving my roommate with his desk lamp and music. College was a bit of a let down so far. The dorms were only passable, my roommate was questionable, and here I was already thinking about drugs, and I hadn't even had my first class. It all made me feel rather pensive about myself and my situation. + +*** + +Wednesday. I'd made it through all of my classes at least once. + +My schedule had Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays fairly full with only composition and symphonic band on Tuesdays, plus a large block of time that I'd scheduled for my independent study type math class. So far, all I'd done in class, though was gotten a bunch of papers: syllabi, grading rubrics, a few questionaires. We'd played some sort of name game in all of my classes except for band, which still required another audition. + +I ran into Eric a good deal at the new music building. It was quite a walk from the dorms and we both made the trek there for our early-morning classes. The fact that the building used to be the old Fort Collins High School only served to make everything seem more like my old school. The campus was open, sure, and the classes were more specific, but it was still walking around with a backpack carrying too much stuff through room-lined hallways. + +Along with Eric, Joseph and Jamen took to spending a good deal of time in my room. It turned out that Jamen already knew my roommate from somewhere else, though he wasn't exactly specific where from. On Tuesday night, I came home to find a TV occupying some of the empty space by the window between our two halves of the room. Jamen and Thomas were parked in front of it watching Starship Troopers, and the whole room smelled a little of nag champa incense and a muskier undertone. Judging from their giggles and glassy eyed stares, I could guess how Jamen knew my roommate. + +I had sat next to Kris during composition, since she was the only person there that I knew, and we talked a litte more as we made our way out of the engineering building, apparently the only place they could stuff this inconvenient class. She was into jazz and rock from Japan; I liked computers; she was raised Christian but felt more Buddhist about everything; I was apathetic, raised by apathetic parents; she wanted to be a writer, or at least an editor; I didn't want to be a teacher, but it would make me money. She was a pretty funny girl, and one of the few people I had gotten to know in my five days at school, and she apparently felt rather the same way, so we made plans to get together for lunch the next day with a few of each of our friends. + +I had sat next to Kris during composition, since she was the only person there that I knew, and we talked a litte more as we made our way out of the engineering building, apparently the only place they could stuff this inconvenient class.

Wednesday.

Wednesday. Trudging across campus on tired feet with my mug of coffee, talking with Eric to keep from spacing out. + +``Man, I'm friggin' jealous of my roommate. His classes don't start until nine. I mean, I guess that's only an hour later, but that's an hour of precious sleep,'' he whined. + +``I hear ya.'' I swapped hands holding my mug so I could shake the other one out. August mornings were much warmer down here on the plains than up in the hills. ``It's like.. all our academic classes are in the morning, in music, and all our ensembles in the afternoon.'' + +``Well, it's good for us singers. We had choir in the morning in high school, and it's pretty rough.'' + +``I guess it makes sense, yeah. Everything started at seven thirty in high school, too. Dunno why eight in the morning feels so damn early now.'' + +``Wow,'' Eric laughed. ``I think that's the first time I've heard you curse. Did your parents always get down on you for that?'' + +I felt my cheeks redden, but chuckled along with him. ``Yeah, I wasn't supposed to cuss at home, and guess I never got around to it at school.'' + +``Never got around to it,'' Eric smiled. ``Fuck. Goddamn shit,'' he added and I burst out laughing at the look of relish on his face. + +``Yep, fuck,'' I said in response. ``It's hard to shake the feeling of living under someone else's rules when you've done it for eighteen years.'' + +Eric nodded, ``We're free now, though.'' + +Walking through the underpass beneath College Avenue, the main thoroughfare of Fort Collins, I remembered about Kris, ``Oh yeah, going to lunch at Parmalee with this girl I met in my composition class and some of her friends. Noon. Want to come, too?'' + +``What? Meeting girls already? You band kids are such players,'' Eric laughed as I socked him in the shoulder. + +``It's not like that, I promise,'' I said, adding silently, `I don't go for girls.' + +``Sure, that's what you say now. Anyway, yeah, I'll come along. I think Joseph has class, but if I run into him, I'll get Jamen to come along too, if you want.'' + +``Yeah, go ahead. You'll probably see him before I do.'' + +Eric nodded and waved, ducking up along a more northerly path towards his class as I continued on toward the front of the building and my theory class to review what I'd already learned in highschool. + +Theory was followed by history, where I spent more time looking at the teacher than listening to him talk. I shook myself out of it a few times, trying to convince myself to pay attention. I'd always catch myself staring again; at least it looked like I was paying attention. He was a grad student and a bit of a looker. He reminded me of Jamen + +I had a spare hour after history before a manditory meeting of the music department and I decided against the long walk home if I'd have to walk back. I walked around for a few minutes before I found a few chairs on the landing of the grand staircase above the entry way to the school. I picked one in the corner and pulled out a book to read, but I wound up getting distracted by the singers next to me talking and laughing, letting myself get caught up in their conversation. + +The departmental, the meeting I had to go to, turned out to be just a bunch of rules I'd already read, so I spent most of the time zoning out. I had skipped breakfast and was looking forward to lunch. Food and friends. + +Despite time dragging its heels, eleven fifty rolled around before too long and Eric and I hurried out of the music building. The dorm we were eating at, Parmalee, was most of the way across campus, and we weren't even technically on campus. We walked quickly and laughed as we talked along the way. We even met Jamen in the plaza in front of the student center by chance and dragged him along with us, easily overcoming his objections of wanting to take care of his math homework, the same type of stuff I was supposed to be doing. + +We were only five minutes late for our noon o'clock lunch at the dorm and waited to be swiped in to see Kris and one of her friends loitering just past the entrance. She smirked at us as we we waited to have our IDs scanned, tapping at her decidedly watch-less wrist. I gave her a helpless shrug and a stupid grin. + +``Hey Cory,'' she said, gesturing to her friend. ``This is Erin, my roommate.'' + +``Nice to meet you. This is Eric,'' I gestured in turn, feeling stupidly formal as I did so. ``And Jamen.'' + +There was an awkward pause for a moment before Kris burst out laughing and we all chuckled, ``Effin' stupid. We gotta get food before I implode.'' + +We made our way across the dining hall and then down a narrow hallway to what was apparently another section of the cafeteria, Kris explaining over her shoulder, ``Parmalee and Corbett are attached at the kitchen. The Corbett side's better. All sorts of Mexican and stuff over there.'' + +We split up when we got to the Corbett side and each went to one of the different `restaurants' they had over there. Kris, Jamen, and I wound up waiting in line for quesadillas while Eric and Erin sought out one of the main entree lines; they seemed to be hitting it off fairly well. + +``So how's the whole school thing going for you guys?'' Kris asked, leaning back against one of the poles of the rope barrier, standing on the base with her heels so that it didn't tip over. + +``Good enough,'' I mumbled. ``Boring so far.'' + +Jamen shrugged and crossed his arms over his chest, ``Too much politics.'' + +``Wow, already?'' Kris winced. + +``Yeah. You can tell some of the teachers don't like the others in the art department, and there's all this seniority crap that some people take way too seriously.'' Another shrug, then, ``Oh well, it's all good. How 'bout you?'' + +``Oh, I dunno, I'm having fun so far.'' She nodded her head at me as she said, ``Our comp class is a bunch of crap. I think our teacher's a fundamentalist.'' + +I laughed and nodded, ``She's pretty nuts.'' + +Jamen grinned and nodded, ``Mine too. We started talking about writing arguments, like how to argue a point, and she wants us to focus on gay marriage this semester.'' + +``So? What side are you going to write about?'' Kris asked. She had gotten there before me. It was one of those innocuous questions that could tell you about your friends before you outed yourself to them. Couch it in a current news item. + +``Well,'' Jamen mumbled, blushing now that he was on the spot. ``I'm all for it. Gay marriage, that is.'' + +``Good!'' Kris laughed and looked pointedly at me, ``I'd have to question your taste in friends, Cory, if Jamen here was against it.'' + +I blinked, taken aback, ``Er? Well... why?'' + +``Well, my brother's gay, but too lazy to be an activist about it, so I do it for him!'' + +We laughed a bit and I swallowed the rising bile --- I had been worried that she knew that I was gay and was about to blurt that out in front of Jamen. I had wanted to tell everyone on my own terms. + +Jamen, being the first in line, got his quesadilla first and wandered off to the table that Eric and Erin had picked out and were already holding an animated discussion over. Kris watched him go, then looked at me side-long, ``And you are too, aren't you?'' + +Stunned once more, I nodded a little bit. + +``It showed in your reaction.'' She looked at me a little more intently and laughed, ``Hey! Relax! I just said I was alright with it, didn't I? Its not like I'm gonna shun you and tell all your friends.'' + +I must've relaxed visibly because Kris giggled again and gave me a half-hug, one hand taken up by her quesadilla on a plate. I returned the hug awkwardly. With her hair, she came up to about my nose. She smelled like peppermint. ``Just relax, get your food.'' + +*** + +``C'mon, Cory. You take friggin' forever.'' + +I threw my binder into my backpack and tucked the New York Times in along with it, zipping the thing up so quickly that neatly perforated a corner of the paper that hadn't quite made it in all the way. ``Sorry, sorry... wasn't paying attention.'' + +``You're worse than a girl, boy,'' Kris laughed. ``Hell, you're almost worse than Erin.'' + +Now that it was a few weeks into the semester, classes were picking up. Our composition teacher had required us to get a newspaper at least once a week and write a one page basic analysis of one of the articles in it for every Tuesday's class. Kris and I had gotten in the habit of doing that on Tuesday afternoons before class in my room; me working on my desktop and Kris on her laptop so that she could use my printer. She always finished before I did. + +I bounced out of the room as she held the door open for me, letting it shut heavily behind us as we walked quickly down the hall. + +``Man, I hope that didn't wake Thomas.'' I said, ``He was pretty zonked out.'' + +``Poor boy must not be sleeping well,'' Kris said, sounding worried. It had caught me off guard, originally, that the little anachronisms of her speech sounded so natural coming from her. + +``Oh, come on, you don't really believe that, do you?'' + +She laughed and shouldered me against the wall, ``'Course not, he was stoned out of his gourd.'' + +September had taken an edge off the heat of August, but only a bit. It was still warm enough for t-shirts and, for the adventurous and slightly fashion challenged Jamen, shorts outside, so Kris and I speed-walked to the engineering class from my dorm unencumbered by heavy clothing, dodging guys on longboards and girls on cruiser bikes. + +My back was sweaty from hauling my pack by the time we got to class, just barely avoiding being late. I sat forward in my chair and tugged the damp t-shirt away from my skin, pulling on it a few times to help cool myself down. Kris made a gagging face at me and I stuck my tongue out at at her. + +``At least this building has AC,'' I murmurred to her, hushing up quickly and looking apologetic when the teacher gave me a Significant Glance. + +``Alright, pass your papers to the aisle and up to the front,'' the teacher said in that insufferable whine she had for a voice. + +I pulled my paper out and handed it to Kris, getting my New York Times out as well and putting it in front of me, relaxing back against the seat a bit as the papers percolated to the front, the class then going from person to person to give a brief synopsis of the stories they had written about. I'd picked something about how global warming was viewed in the UK, and Kris had picked a story about book banning. + +Class plodded along dully and I spent most of the remainder of the hour and a half trying to see how close together I could draw concentric circles with a ball-point pen without them touching, taking up most of the margins of my newspaper. I spoke up once or twice in the discussion about appeals in an argument, enough to get me credit in the class. Having been in school long enough now, I had come to agree with Kris --- college comp was bullshit. + +When we were finally free to go, Kris and I walked back to my place much more slowly than we had to get to class, drifting across the plaza almost without direction. + +``Alright, so if I were to design a curriculum to teach English majors writing,'' Kris began. She talked about this almost every time after composition. ``I'd probably drop all this BS about arguments. They're teaching us as if we all plan on going into politics and we need to come up with rebuttals to proposals. The appeals stuff is cool, at least from a fiction standpoint. I mean, it's kinda cool to see how pathos and logos turn up in novels. Real novels, not that trashy sci-fi you read.'' + +``Hey! It's not trashy! It's legitimate writing! At least, the stuff I read. No little green men or anything.'' + +Kris laughed. + +``Speaking of debatably legitimate writing, want to go see the new Batman movie tonight? Haven't been to a movie in this town yet.'' + +``Sure, I guess.'' Kris shrugged, ``Mind if Erin comes along? She's all gung-ho about it. Plus, she can drive. The theater isn't exactly walking distance from campus.'' + +``Erin, huh? That means Eric's going to have to come along, too.'' + +``Oh, come on, he's your friend!'' she laughed + +``I know, I know,'' I replied. ``They're just so... disgustingly cute together. They need to just, like... officially start going out and quit teasing us all.'' + +Kris elbowed me in the side, ``What, you have a problem with them being close?'' + +I elbowed back, just because. ``No, it's not that. I just think it's a little quick for them to already be getting into a relationship.'' + +``Whoa now, you just said they should get together...'' + +``Jooooookiiiing,'' I sang out. + +``Jaaaaackaaaass,'' Kris mimicked. + +

Your result for What's your key signature?...

D Minor

+

Congratulations, I guess. You’re D Minor, the key that F Major turns to when its lover dumps it. This key is downright depressing, but not in a loud way. This is more the “brooding as you slowly cut yourself in the corner” type of depressing. A member of the totally-real band Spinal tap once said that when D minor begins, “everyone instantly starts weeping." It’s an easy key to play for many instruments, and is quite a nice key for slow jazz ballads, as if you didn’t have enough of the blues.

+

So yeah, you’re D Minor, but you probably don’t care. In fact, you were probably expecting this when you started the damn quiz. Pessimism isn’t always the answer, friend!

+

SONG EXAMPLE: So What? By Miles Davis (OK, I know it’s actually in D’s Dorian mode, but close the hell enough.)

+

INTERESTING TIDBIT:

Once again reminded of how much I love biology. Lately, these essays-a-night have been bugging me, but the one due tomorrow is on the immune system. When I found my notes, I had another sort of flashback to learning in class and getting so damned excited at the topic that I was most likely impatient with Ms. Reed for going slow :o) Anyway, I'm quite pleased with my reaction, as I was afraid that I'd have a hard time with bio in college, but with this I can understand how I'll just end up having fun with it. Well, most of it ^

Cruisin' along. finished the second section of the novel (for those of you following along with the outline, I just finished the 'First theme in the tonic'. At this rate, I'm going to be writing a fairly long book.

I posted it, but, fair warning, there's some sex in the last 'chapter'. I was tasteful, but it's pretty damn explicit. Sorry about that, but, after so many years of dealing with typefucking on the internet, I feel as though I'm entitled to take some liberties with my novel :D:D:D

With yesterday's election I watched several of you celebrate victory and several of you mourn in defeat. For many, the election brought mixed feelings, and I know that I struggle with some of my own. However, my heart ached with despair most when I watched many immediately withdraw into yourselves.

+

For those whom the election did not favor, I watched many of you resign yourselves to the decisions of others: some gave way weakly and some backed into their corner with teeth bared, their defeat feeding the fuel of their passive-aggressive response.

+

Many of those whom the election favored I watched celebrate, comfortable in your victories. Some of you relaxed as if your work was forever finished, and some of you gloated among your friends or over your opponents.

+

However, victors and defeated, I watched nearly all of you stop, and this broke my heart. I was disappointed to watch so many of my dear friends act in a way completely counter not only to democracy in America but to human nature itself. Humanity does not stop, and neither should a government of humanity.

+

If you feel loss after this election, please, for me, for you, and for all in this country, do not fall victim to short sightedness in your loss. Mourn, yes, but seek the change, the rights, the laws you were denied, no matter what they are, because our individuality is what most strongly unites us as a people.

+

If you are celebrating after this election, please, for humanity's sake, do not stop. Acknowledge your victories, yes, but never let anything stop you from trying to make this a better world no matter how you are able, because our drive to improve is what will make this world great through the ages to come.

+

This American election was stressful for us all, Americans and otherwise, but it is just a moment in time, and time will never stop. Let us look back and say that we weathered the surge of politics and moved on, ever seeking to make the world a better place for ourselves, our friends and families, and for everyone in it for eons to come.

I burned the heel of my right palm on the cast iron skillet making steak for myself tonight. I never realized how much that part of my hand moves when I type, especially reaching for the backspace and shift keys until now x.x Oh well, I'm keeping a frozen lump of emu close by so that I can palm it every now and then. The good news is that there are two shift keys and the right shift key on this laptop is going out, so I've been using the left more and more. The bad news is that I almost always use the right shift anyway, since that's what I use normally, only correcting myself after the fact.

+

Stupid foxes.

+

Anyway, still writing tonight, pain or no. I finished `chapter' fifteen earlier today, which means I'm done with the transition section. On to the second theme, which might be a whole lot more difficult to write. I'm finding that I'm starting to care about my characters' relationship a lot, which.. well, I shan't spoil the rest of the book :o

I'm getting into the swing of the second theme, two chapters into it now. I'm curious, for those who are reading as I write, do you want me to tell you what the themes represent before I get too deep into the second one, or do you want to guess for yourselves? I had planned on the latter and asking when I got halfway done with the book just to see if I was pulling things off, but I figured I'd see if y'all want to know up front :o)

35,235 - two more chapters under my belt, and probably two more in this section. The second of the chapters is a total cop out that will likely disappear when I edit, but for now, it's a bunch of words that have something to do with the story, so I'll keep it :D

So, I've been conducting an informal study over the past several days and have drawn the following conclusions:

+
    +
  • when I shower, I get no comments on my looks other than clothes
    • +
  • when I don't shower, the number of comments on my looks jumps from 0 to approximately 3 per day. All of these comments are along the lines of "you look British" or "I like your hair, it's very Euro"
    • +
  • further testing showed that comments were based entirely on hair (showering on the morning but keeping hair as dry as possible)
    • +
  • this means that either Brits don't shower or don't wash their hair, or possibly that when I wash my hair at night rather than in the morning, I look like a member of a widely varying group of people across the Atlantic ocean
    • +
  • finally: I look better when my hair is unwashed. Possible explanations are that my hair gets oily as time goes by and that washing that oil out causes my hair to frizz out in that partial fro I've had for so long, and the resulting curly bowl-cut that I seem to get looks decidedly British; or possibly the resulting style is just different enough for others to pick a nationality to apply to me.
    • +
+

Just an observation - I've stopped washing my hair in the morning because I look British :D

Oh well, 52,612 words (52.16% complete, if I'm aiming for 100,000, which is accurate enough), one chapter that probably doesn't make any sense and adds very little to the plot. Hopefully I'll get back into the swing of things.

Zk | Caution! Soft, good-feeling post ahead!

You know, in general, I try to keep an open mind about things. And I don't mean diversity or anything, though I usually try to keep that in mind as well. My Psychology of Music class has taught me that musical preferences are usually set by ages eighteen to twenty-two, so despite the fact that I'm currently listening - nay, rocking out to a song utilizing extended vocal techniques, pan-triadicism, free atonality, and a narrator, I can dig the fact that some people just like country.

+

Not only that, but I understand that there are other disciplines out there besides music. Hell, I started college in biochemistry. I regularly read books, watch lectures, and think thoughts pertaining to fields outside my own in an attempt to keep in touch with the things that I'm still interested in. I do my best to keep myself up to date in copyrights as part of business, but also for fun. I'm interested in computers, nanotechnology, biology, psychology, all that nifty stuff.

+

One excellent source for nifty ideas in all of those fields is http://ted.org TEDTalks are short (10-20 minute) lectures on innovative ideas. I highly recommend the site to ANYONE. No matter where your interests lie, there is bound to be something there that will interest you. They even have a free podcast, so every day, I get a brand new lecture on my iPod.

+

Recently (a few hours ago) I found a lecture by Evelyn Glennie, a deaf percussionist, on how to listen to the whole body, and how that pertains to music therapy and music education. I mentioned this to an engineer acquaintance of mine as an example, since I had described TEDTalks as "lectures by various people on various good ideas."

+

His response was along the lines of "Oh, so not really, then. Just soft, good-feeling ideas." He often refers to me as 'soft', which I've always found vaguely insulting, but accepted as a term of endearment. It always seemed to imply that I wasn't real, that I had no depth, and that the things I did and studied were of no use.

+

I countered with "Well, before that, I was watching a segment on designing for the future, including venture capital for carbon nanotubes and preparing for pandemics. And before that, a clip on how research is showing that we perceive scent based on elemental frequencies, as the presenter put it, and how they designed a substitute for coumarin that isn't carcinogenic simply by finding a molecule that influenced scent perception in the same way. So no, not all softer, good feeling things." Which was true enough.

+

"Oh, good!" he replied. "Substance! I like substance."

+

I disconnected immediately. I was in no mood to explain my emotions at that moment, figuring they'd just be viewed as 'soft, good-feeling things'.

+

Usually when I do something like that, I start feeling guilty after a while. I'm pretty good at drama, but I don't relish the thought of invoking it. However, it's been a few hours. I've taken a long bath, eaten a giant glob of peanut butter, and listened to a lot of music. And still, all I can think of are countless rebuttals to this comment. 'Oh, sure, just dismiss all but a small section of human knowledge and experience as insubstantial.' 'Not even my dad was as insulting when I changed my major to music.' 'I personally find music to have a good deal of substance, and since I know you don't suffer from amusia, I'm assuming you do as well. You're not a liar, are you?'

+

These aren't really constructive, though. So:

+

• Merry, I find radiology to be insufferably boring. +• Ryan and James (and Merry and Kiran and myself and...), I don't think guns are worth all this fuss. +• Herefox. Painting, huh? +• Rikoshi, writing is a soft art. Clearly not worth it.

+

Defend yourselves*, and in the process, teach me how to defend myself! I get this, though rarely this blatant, about once a week, and I need to know how to convince people that music is a legitimate, substantial endeavor worth pursuing in today's world, because honestly? I'm getting sick of this.

+

+* You know I'm kidding, right? c.

Labyrinth + Mugwort and Catnip tea lead to me dreaming about David Bowie being my choir director and some odd group (it had Tim Schiesswohl in it, who isn't actually in choir) rehearsing lying down on the stage naked.

+

Anyway, yesterday: I had my speech in public speaking. It went pretty well. My 'opponent' ended up proving my point in a round about way, but she still did well. I think, for doing my outline a few hours previous, I did pretty well, too ^^ I didn't lose anyone on the oppinion polls. After that.. um.. Carter.. nothing exciting. Went home for lunch alone (I waited.. c.c) and put in eyedrops before my eyes got too bloodshot and itchy (which they did anyway) and also printed out my poem for creative writing. Latin was actually pretty cool. Sort of. Got out early and went to Wendy's for fries. Creative Writing, MissDoo's hatred grows.

Made it all the way through the day, then got all emotional when I got home. Oh well. Walked a couple miles, went to a bar a block from my house, and ate the most decadent thing I could find. I had a glass of scotch, mushroom tortellini in a white porcini sauce with truffle oil, and a glass of wine (by the way, wine folk, I finally understand why you pair wine with food), all for fairly cheap. I think I've gotten over all that mess, though it was likely more the walk than the consumerism, though those tortellini were really good :

Over break, I watched a bunch of TEDTalks and finally got around to watching the one by Al Gore on climate change. On a whim, I decided to see what all the hype was about with An Inconvenient Truth and found a torrent of it. With the school's connection, such things usually finish in a few hours, overnight at the longest. However, I forgot to turn the torrent off.

+

Come Monday, my network admin gets an email from the head ACNS guy, a forwarded cease-and-desist letter from BayTSP, the company that researches infringements for copyright holders, including Paramount, who produced An Inconvenient Truth. Now, due to the fact that just about everyone has been screwing up with scheduling this semester for the next, I took the day off work to make my rounds and berate people into getting me the classes I need. Unfortunately, this email came at about three in the afternoon, and I was in choir, where I didn't get any wi-fi reception. After choir was a cello lesson, and after that, dinner with John. So I didn't get the email from my boss ("Matt, get your ass in here right now. I've unplugged both your computers. Is it your windows or linux box?") until I was just getting to bed.

+

I freaked out. I ran to work at eleven since the building closes at midnight, turned both computers off, plugged in the network cables, then turned the Windows box back on so that I could reimage the linux box, effectively replacing most everything on the hard-drive with the bloated staff image.

+

I was worried because a copyright infringement suit would be a good reason for composers not to trust me to publish their copyrighted works. Not only that, but it would also be good reason for me to get fired, me to get dismissed from the university, and for me to lose a whole lot of money. At least this wasn't a lawsuit, just a take-down notification.

+

Anyway, I got back into work the next day, planning on what I would do if I got fired. My boss pulled me aside and told me that everything would be okay, that I wasn't getting fired, but that if I did it again, not only would I be fired, but he would personally kick my ass. The network admin told me just about the same thing. I was told that it was technically untraceable to me and that no litigation would be filed because it was fairly untraceable. And then we got to work as normal.

+

This was the first thing I had downloaded in months, almost a year. I think the last thing I got was BSG season 3. And you know? This was a pretty effective deterrent - I think it'll be the last thing I download, too.

+

Moral: be careful. They really are keeping an eye on this, and they really will contact you, if nothing else

STEP ONE +- Make a post (public, friends-locked, filtered... whatever you're comfortable with) to your LJ. The post should contain your list of ten holiday wishes. The wishes can be anything at all, from simple and fandom-related ("I'd love a Snape/Hermione icon that's just for me") to medium ("I wish for _____ on DVD") to really big ("All I want for Christmas is a new car/computer/house/TV"). The important thing is to make sure these wishes are things you really, truly want. +- If you wish for real life things (not fics or icons), make sure you include some sort of contact info in your post, whether it's your address or just your email address where Santa (or one of his elves) can get in touch with you. Your home address is not required! +- Make sure you post some version of these guidelines in your LJ, or link to this post (it'll be public) so that the holiday joy will spread.

+

STEP TWO +- Surf around your friends list (or friendsfriends, or just random journals) to see who has posted their list. And now, here's the important part. +- If you see a wish you can grant, and it's in your heart to do so, make someone's wish come true. Sometimes one person's trash is another's treasure, and if you have a leather jacket you don't want or a gift certificate you won't use - or even know where you could get someone's dream purebred Basset Hound for free - do it. +- You needn't spend money on these wishes unless you want to. The point isn't to put people out, it's to provide everyone a chance to be someone else's holiday elf - to spread the joy. Gifts can be made anonymously or not - it's your call. There are no guarantees with this project, and no strings attached. Just... wish, and it might come true. Give and you might receive. You'll have the joy of knowing you made someone's holiday special.

Poor Kiran :o) I keep getting the feeling that I'm making him uncomfortable 'cause I'm rather physical with friends. I've asked him about it, but he always denies. Oh well. Don't apologize, Kiran, I should if I am making you feel awkward.

+

Anyway, yeah. After school, I beat people with my tail for a while, then we all (Ryan, Nicku, Andru, Kiran) decided to go to my house for partaking in Labyrinth, since some had never seen it (it was cheap, so I bought it). We piled, sort of, and I reiki'd Kiran for tummy hurtiness until he squirmed away from my overheated paws. After, there was more piling, some wrestling, and other goofing around while Nicku looked at my Magic cards. Before long, Kiran had called his mom to get picked up, Andrew left for the bus, and Ryan and Nick followed shortly after Kiran was picked up. So here I am. Talking to Li'l Orange Thing.

+

Today was cool. Went to talk in health classes about faggotry. Nicki and Constance spoke, too, so we had a grand ould time. Lots of good questions and good responses. In choir, we voted for top senior people, and I was informed by a good number of people that they voted for me. Hmm. Odd. Anyhoo. Nothing special after that, 'cept for leaving Latin to go drink chocolate soy milk with peoples on rampthing.

+

P-p-p-p-p-prom! I'm thinking an earlyish dinner and a movie somewhere. Man on Fire and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind have been suggested to me by biology students. Kiran wants to come to dinner and movie, too, but not Prom, so.. yeah. Michael and Ryannon, talk wif me, and we'll work times out that'll work. Also, what should we do about dinner? I'm assuming there's no qualms with the Kitchen or Nabil's..

Just watched Supersize Me and was absolutely disgusted. Just.. gross. In fact, it disgusted me enough that I'm really, really tempted to try an experiment in January: not eat out at all.

+

I'm wondering if I can pull it off - everything would have to be made at home, and I could take it to silly little extremes to make it a little more entertaining:

+
    +
  • If I can make it at home, I cannot buy it (bread, tortillas, pasta, frozen foods, instant meals like tuna helper, canned good like chicken broth or soup, alcohol - hey, I still have gallons of mead in the storage closet! - and non-alcoholic drinks like juice and whatnot)
    • +
  • Leftovers can only be kept for the nutritionist-recommended three days (I'll have to look that up for sure)
    • +
  • If someone wants to go out for food, I have to offer to make food for them as well instead of just declining; either cooking food in their kitchen or going shopping to make the meal for us, and
    • +
  • I'll have to record everything, with as much pictures, prices, and recipes as possible.
    • +
+

I'd have to pick up a couple of things just to help myself out. Pasta rollers, ingredients, dish soap and dishwasher detergent, stuff like that. Some more tupperware, sandwich baggies, and plastic wrap would help, too. I can probably borrow my mom's pasta rollers, which would be the biggest expense, but does anybody want to 'sponsor' me with some of the other things? Already got a bunch of food from James. :3

+

Also, if this just plain uninteresting, I'll leave it out of here

Breakfast: 10 Grain Cereal, coffee

+

Lunch: Nothing :|

+

Dinner: Chicken Saag over rice, water

+

Desert: Orangey drink thing

+
Notes/Recipes +I started my little experiment today instead of January first as I had planned. This was mostly due to the fact that James planned a nice dinner for me on Monday, January 5th - some high-class four-course meal with a drink paired with each course. This has been in the works since long before I decided to do this whole mess, and I didn't want to pull out so I figured I'd start now. This means I get two weeks of no eating out, then a nice meal out and a time for me to collect my thoughts about the time that had passed, and finally another two weeks of eating in. + +I actually started last night with a big batch of pasta, though I wound up using jarred sauce (Newman's Own, not bad stuff) which probably has a good deal more sodium than I really need. I figure this will help me spruce up breakfasts and lunches here at the beginning, since I tend to eat leftovers for both of those pretty often. Making the hot cereal this morning was kinda nice, but made me later than I would've liked for work. This way I'll have more than just Saag until tomorrow :o) + +I also went on a big huge shopping trip and spent more money than I really have, mostly on veggies and fruit, though I did buy rather a lot of cheese, since that's good for adding a lot of flavor to grains (wine soaked cheese, porter soaked cheese, mild cheddar with sage, plain sharp shredded cheddar, swiss, and feta, plus the block of gruyere I have left in the fridge). I got a few pomegranates, five pounds of clementines (though I forgot to get cranberries - I was going to make my just-fruit cranberry sauce), two yellow squash, a head of cabbage, a bunch of spinach, a bunch of kale, a thing of fennel, four leeks, a bag of onions, a pound of garlic bulbs, a thing of little tomatoes on the vine for some tomato sauce, two lemons and four limes, and two heads of broccoli. Also got a thing of chicken breast fillets, ovaltine, milk, eggs, chopped walnuts, steel cut oats, and yellow corn meal. I think that's about all I got, doesn't really matter, I'm sure if I missed something, it'll come up in the next few days. + +Anyhow, on to the food: + +10 Grain Cereal + +1/4 cup ten grain cereal +3/4 cup water +1 Tbsp honey +Milk + +Bring the cereal and water to a boil, stir, cover, and turn the element off (turn the heat down, for those of you with a stove made after 1963 :oP). Let sit for three to five minutes, stir, cuss at the stove for still burning the bottom, scoop into a bowl and drizzle with the honey, top the bowl up with milk. + +Coffee + +Make coffee. Add a healthy sprinkling of cinnamon to the grounds before you start :o9 fill half a cup with coffee, two and a half.. uh.. sugar spoon-fulls of sugar, fill the rest of the way with milk and half-and-half to placate your ulcer. Get heartburn anyway. + +Saag with chicken +This is a good base recipe if you remove the chicken. Feel free to use paneer, or boiled potatoes or cauliflower, or.. anything good :o9 To make it vegan, use oil instead of ghee, use 3/4 cup water and a can of regular (not light) coconut milk. + +2 Tbsp oil or ghee +1 bunch spinach, chopped (approx. 2 packs if you're using frozen) +1 onion, chopped +6 cloves garlic, smashed and diced +1 cup water +3/4 cup yogurt +1 Tbsp sour cream +1 Tbsp curry powder +1 Tbsp curry paste (I know, I should've made my own. I lack the dried, fermented shrimp, though) +1 chicken breast, cubed +1/2 handful chopped walnuts +Lime juice and salt to taste + +Heat the oil or ghee, add the chopped onion and chicken breast. Cook and stir over med-hi heat for a few minutes, until the chicken is mostly white. Add the garlic, curry powder, and curry paste and cook for a little while longer. Add the water and spinach, drop some on the stove, marvel at how bad spinach smells when it burns. Cook this for about ten to fifteen minutes, until the spinach starts looking pretty soupy. Don't stir too much! Pull the pan off the stove for a few minutes then dump everything into a food processor (or blender). Remember not stirring? That's so that you can pick the chicken chunks off the top of the mixture in the food processor bowl, since they should've been on the bottom of the pan. No need for pureed chicken. Pulse on and off for a little bit, until you get the consistency you desire. Dump everything back into the pan and bring to a simmer for another five or ten minutes. Finally, add the yogurt and sour cream, stir stir stir. Bring the saag back up to a simmer and immediately remove the pan from the heat. After cooling for a bit, it's ready to serve. + +Matt's (almost) Fool-Proof Rice +I say almost because I have forgotten about the rice right after turning on the heat and burned many batches this way. Also, if your stove is as crappy as mine is, turn one element on high, and another one on the lowest setting right when you start, then just move the pan to the low element. Just turning the first element down burns the rice just as effectively. +Feel free to add anything. For the saag, I added a bit of turmeric to color the rice like basmati, even though I was using plain, Korean rice. If you do add herbs, add a tiny bit of oil to disrupt the surface tension so that you don't wind up with a boil-over. + +A quantity of rice +A quarter again as much water +(for example, a cup of rice, a cup and a quarter of water; two cups of rice, two and a half cups. This is pretty flexible - because I have a 3/4 cup measuring cup, I use two of those for a cup and a half of rice, and just use two cups of water) + +Put rice in pan. +Put water in pan. +Turn heat to high. +AS SOON AS IT BOILS stir the water and rice, cover, and immediately turn the burner as low as it can go. +Wait 15 minutes. NO PEEKING, NO STIRRING, DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT THE RICE. Just set an alarm. +After 15 minutes, remove the pan from the heat, fluff the rice, re-cover and let sit for another two minutes. +Put rice in mouf. + +Orangey Drink Thing +Eggs are sterile inside, it's the shell that usually picks up the bugs, so make sure to wash the egg if you're going to use it raw. It's a chewy drink. Strain it if you don't like pith. + +2 clementines +1 slice of lime +1/2 a cup of yogurt +1 cup of milk +1 Tbsp honey +1 egg (optional) + +Peel the clementines and the slice of lime, toss them in a blender. Add everything else and blend :D + +

VBScript sucks. Like, hard-core. I'm not quite sure how something like this can be called an adequate language by any stretch of the imagination. WMI is a good idea, I suppose, but its implementation rather blows.

+

Anyway, did my programming. We now have a way to turn the entire public area of the library, including all three labs, off and on remotely. And since all public machines are set to boot to NIC on Wake-On-LAN, that means we can reimage the entire public area as needed from our desktops in the cozy area we live in :D And hey, if we replace computers? There's a script that rebuilds all the WOL scripts, too :o)

The rest.. of the story. +Two days now, and, stupid as it sounds, I already feel better. It's not some over all lightening of mood, or even that I feel physically better after having spent two days cooking for myself. Much more specific. See, my choices for going out to lunch (and I used them well) are Carls Jr., Taco Bell, Panda Express, Spoons, or bagels/wraps. I noticed it right after lunch - I didn't feel the stupid general grossness that I usually do at that point of the day. Notably absent was the horrendous gas one gets upon eating Taco Bell. It was kind of uplifting: maybe this really is healthier. + +Until after dinner. + +So I made my stroganoff and cornbread and sat down to eat. Had a couple of servings of each, too, 'cause I really like eating. After all that, I went back in the kitchen to clean up and just happened to look down into my bag of flour. Flour, it should be noted, does not normally contain black specks. Curious that mine did. I pinched one and sprinkled the load of flour+speck into my palm only to find a bug. THERE WAS A FUCKING BUG IN MY FLOUR. The flour, I should note, that I just used to make corn bread. I looked back in the bag and, lo, the bug had his whole family there. They were evenly distributed throughout the fifteen pounds or so of flour I had left in there. + +So I drowned my disgust in alcohol. Man.. fucking sick. + +Beef Stroganoff +Serve this over noodles or rice, so long as there are no GOD DAMN BUGS in either. + +1/2 lb lean beef fillet +1/2 onion, sliced +1/2 lb crimini (white) mushrooms, sliced +3 Tbsp butter +3/4 cup sour cream +1/4 cup dry white wine or herbed mead (not cooking wine) + +Slice the beef thin, then pound it thinner and cut the strips into bite-sized pieces. Sautee the onion in 1 Tbsp butter for two or three minutes. Add the beef and brown all over. Scoop everything into a bowl and keep warm in the microwave (just put it in there, don't turn it on - microwaves are decent insulators). Add the next 2 Tbsp butter and the mushrooms to the pan and sautee until everything's a good golden brown and doesn't look very white anymore. Drain. Add the beef, onions, and wine/mead. Cook and marvel at the scents. Add the sour cream and stir. Season to taste with salt, pepper, and any green herbs that suit your fancy - I used summer savory. Serve over a starch. + +Cornbread + +Know what? Forget about it. Look on the back of the canister (that's what I did). I don't even want to think about anything with flour in it now :| + +

I was gonna write a big ol' thing on prom, but really it was kinda nothing special. See Ryan's post for details. After promishness, I took people home and headed over to Michael's to pass out. I felt kinda bad about not staying up later, but I was really tired, so.. oh well. We messed around some in the morning and I left kinda confused; mostly just pondering sexuality. I'm feeling really asexual lately.

In other news... I ordered some Salvia Divinorum and some Calea Zacatechichi. The first is a teaching plant, and the second is a dreaming plant. Salvia, from various accounts, seems best smoked, but I had a real hard time with it. I have a real hard time with most smoke. Thus I'm going to make a weak extract (2x-4x) to get a higher dose of the Salvinorins, and I also have a standardized 10x extract coming in the mail. That, however, will require a very good sitter as accounts attest. I'd ask Steve, but I'm not sure I can really trust him as a sitter. Maybe Ryan.. Anyway, you can look up Salvia on Erowid, but keep in mind that I'm not using it for 'tripping' as many there do. A common theme among people who have tried Salvia is that it's a very powerful teacher, and I'd like to take a lesson from it. As for Calea, it's mostly just an herb that helps with lucid dreaming. I'm going to be doing as Ryan says and take for a bit and then stop, though keep the same intent. If you have any questions about me dealing with either of these, ask, by all means. I feel I may be overexplaining things slightly to prove the point that I'm not doing anything 'recreationally,' because I really don't feel that I am, and I don't want to be accused of being a druggie; this may be obfuscating things, though, so ask if you want. + +

Still alive, promise. Still eating in for the most part, though I've had a few little excursions here and there. I've even been making some interesting stuff, but.. dunno, just fell out of posting. Maybe when I'm done, I'll compile a few recipes and pictures of neat stuff. I've been feeling better for eating in, too, since I use so little oil, grease, and fat (makes me wonder if I have some sort of gall bladder problem c.c).

+

Work's been going well enough. I've been doing a lot of scripting and such for the public machines. VB Script still sucks, but WMI and ADSI are alright. They're certainly good ideas, if implemented a little awkwardly (it IS Microsoft, after all). I'm trying for a lateral shift of some sort, so that I'd be working under both R&D and Tech Support. I'd be doing all that I'm doing now, plus a little PHP maintenance, and I'd get a small raise. Got my resume all prepped for that.

+

Other than that.. uh.. dunno. I suck at this blogging thing, I guess

Feeling really good ^^ Mellow waves of a sort of vague, euphoric love wash over me. It's both directed and undirected, so if I seem rather affectionate tomorrow (big if, it might not last the night), cool. Apologies if it offends.

+

Talked to Kory a little bit earlier about the crush I had (have? As nice as it'd be to have other feelings leave when you enter a relationship, it's not always so simple) on him, as well as Jerred, though it was mostly just a discussion on how it related to Shanerak. Silly old me, I ended up sorta edging away from the truth, portraying Shan as an enabler who sort of edged me closer to my crushes. What can I say, I was scared shrug

So, I actually got a new job last week. Sort of. There was something of a lateral shift at work and now I have two bosses. My old boss who makes the stupid homophobic jokes, is still my boss when I don't have any work from my new superior, who is actively homophobic, but okay to be around if I just ignore that.

+
blather about thatInstead of being just LTS now, I'm also doing work for R&D. In particular, my task has been to modify a meeting room booking system to fit our needs: + +
    +
  • Authenticate with Active Directory - students and staff may log in to schedule rooms using their campus ID and password. Since Active Directory is based on LDAP, this part was easy: just plug in the required information in the config file.
    • +
  • Differentiate between students and staff - MRBS already has two classes of user to adapt to this: authenticated and admin; we just have to make staff admins +
      +
    • Repeat events - since only staff should be able to schedule repeating events, this just required a strategically placed if-statement around the portion of code that prints all the repeat information in the edit-event form, only executing that if the user is an admin.
      • +
    • Scheduling limitations - students may only schedule events up to two weeks in advance - after a note is put in saying so in the 'else' of the aforementioned if-statement, the form handler checks if the user is NOT an admin and if the date of the event is MORE than two weeks in the future, and gives an error message if so.
      • +
    +
    • +
  • Printable pages - any screen displaying schedules should be printed nicely. While this might've been done with CSS's 'media' attribute, that didn't test out well in many systems, and besides, my boss wanted each of those screens (day, week, and month views) to have a link to open JUST the calendar portion in another window/tab for printing. This meant just copying those files and commenting the bits of code that printed the header and footer out, as well as removing the create-event functionality from the pages. Creating the links to those pages was easy, thanks to $_SESSION['QUERY_STRING']
    • +
+All in all, simple tasks, but stuff my overwhelmed boss didn't really have time to futz around with. It was a pain working with a codebase that wasn't mine, but what the hell, it was a learning experience. Now, if only I could get a raise... + +

Schoool. Overslept some, but Revier didn't say anything. Went home during second for a shower and a snack. I ended up eating something that made me rather sick, and, though I started feeling slightly better during lunch, I ended up just taking Shannon home and sleeping through sixth and eighth. I made it back to school in time for Chivalry, where we had a really good rehearsal, even if the bases (coughKorycough) wouldn't shut up. During massed choir, I sung and poked at Kory some, then sat on the stage and poked at Jerred. I was gonna give Kory a ride to his car 'cause he's a lazy bum, but he had to stay, so I just drove Shannon home and dumped off some plastic. Just got off the phone with Moondoggy, who sounded half asleep, and now here I am.

+

Yesterday was unspectacular except for the lack of sleep. I was late to Chivalry 'cause I forgot it started at 6:45, so Revier yelled at me and I yelled back. After school, I drove home to pick up mail. Got my Salvia (10x extraction, and a free baggie of 5x extraction) and HBWR seeds. Then to coffee with Samir. We talked a lot about everything from Michael to innocence (that file is one I mentioned to Samir; it's not what I remember it being, but some similar ideas and a quote are expressed). After the talk came group, which sucked mightily, so Michael, Samir, Androo, Me, Kelly, and two NVHS kids left for coffee. I left shortly after to go to bed.

Spent $712.50 on food today. I purchased fruit and vegetable shares at Grant Family Farms, so every week from June to December, I should receive about ten pounds of vegetables and seven pounds of fruit. It was a big hit on my credit card, but I also won't have to buy much more than milk from the store, since I can get most everything else from the food bank. Hell, I'm thinking I might even get an egg share, then I could probably cut out meat from my diet fairly easily - or at least cut it way down. The list of what I'll be getting over the 26 weeks is impressive, and there's a chance that I'll get even more, since I heard mention of peaches :o9 Since I usually spend between $100 and $200 per month on food anyway, I'm really excited to be getting half a year's worth of food for that price.

INTP - not what I used to be
You Are An INTP
The Thinker

You are analytical and logical - and on a quest to learn everything you can.
Smart and complex, you always love a new intellectual challenge.
Your biggest pet peeve is people who slow you down with trivial chit chat.
A quiet maverick, you tend to ignore rules and authority whenever you feel like it.

In love, you are an easy person to fall for. But you're not an easy person to stay in love with.
Although you are quite flexible, you often come off as aloof or argumentative.

At work, you are both a logical and creative thinker. You are great at solving problems.
You would make an excellent mathematician, programmer, or professor.

How you see yourself: Creative, fair, and tough-minded

When other people don't get you, they see you as: arrogant, cold, and robotic

Finished Neal Stephenson's Anathem last night. I'm starting to see a formula to his books, but, like Neal Gaiman, it's a good one, and he pulls it off well. While this wasn't my favorite Stephenson book, I enjoyed seeing his writing in a more blatant sci-fi setting (closer to Diamond Age rather than his cyberpunk Snowcrash). I'll have to read it again to really get the whole thing

Zk | House Rules

+
+
+

I've been thinking of some rules for harmonious living. I need input before I, like, make signs or draw up leases for roommates, so let me know. No offense is intended against anyone by these. +1. Everyone must have a job or be actively looking for one.

+

I have a strong desire to live with constructive members of society, and this means that if people aren't leaving the house on a daily basis for work or to look for work, they need to be working from home in some capacity. This is not about money, so I don't care if your parents are paying your rent - this is about being a normal person.

+

2. The common areas will be cleaned regularly by everyone.

+

I don't care about your room*. Honestly. You should see what my closets look like. However, the common areas of the house must be presentable. That is, we need to be able to welcome someone into our house on no notice without having to apologize for anything.

+

* NB: see rule #5 and understand that walls and doors don't stop everything +3. The kitchen is a sacred place. See below:

+

I know that cooking is a lot of work and a lot of fun. I also know that dishes are a lot of work and no fun at all. However, I will wage religious war on you if you disobey my will in regards to the kitchen. There are decidedly less than 613 rules for you to follow:

+

a. cleaning shall take place after every meal; +b. clean dishes may remain in the dishwasher for a maximum of six hours; +c. when feeding everyone, he who cooks shall not clean; +d. there is a place for everything, and everything shall ever be in that place; +e. you are responsible for everything you do. +4. The bathroom is a sacred place. See below:

+

As above, prepare for hellfire should you disregard the following:

+

a. your shit stinks, guaranteed - you will use the fan; +b. a consequence of bar soap is scum - if you must use it, rings and clogs are your responsibility; +c. the sink, tub, and toilet are not containers, and should accordingly not have your spare facial or head hair/tooth paste/excrement stored in them or their drains; +d. water belongs in the aforementioned non-containers, not the floor; +e. the bathroom is also a public place and the rules above apply. +5. Respect everyone.

+

Automatically assume that every action you take in this dwelling will affect everyone else that lives there. I think we can all agree that cleanliness is less offensive than messinessm and there are five senses for you to consider, each as important as the other: raunchy smells, eating others' delicious food, disturbing others' sleep with light and loud nose, and slimy counters or floors are disrespectful. Passive-aggressiveness will happen, to be sure, but part of respect is working problems out when they happen. In order to live well with others, make sure that everything you do takes them into consideration and accept possible compromises you will have to make if something goes awry

It sucks to hurt people even if it feels like you're doing it out of necessity. I woke up with just barely enough time for a shower and driving over to Michael's, but traffic was against me, so I ended up being 15 or 20 minutes late. We were to talk about some of the stuff that Samir and I had talked about, but didn't get around to it for a few because I'm a wimp. Basically, we ended up putting the relationship on hold. My feeling non-sexual and a little iffy about Michael's sex combined with Michael's feeling quite sexual made things awkward and kinda put a more platonic relationship in doubt. We'll need to talk more, but I'm assuming this means we're just good friends. At least I hope so.

So, along with orchestrating Mirrors for Pierrot ensemble, my other major project for composition was Little Eclogue (link to FA). It's a shitty rendering of a choral piece, and it's still only a rough draft, but I imagine once I get the pacing worked out and rewrite one or two parts, I'll be pretty proud of it. The text is an intriguing poetic dialog from one of my friends, whom I haven't seen in aaaaages.

+

And then there's this. Ehehe c.c It's paced wrong, nearly impossible to play, a friggin' MIDI, and my teacher told me to not waste my time on it.. BUT GOD DAMNIT I DID! And it was fun :o) I may have to rewrite it for when CSU gets that crazy Vienna set up and turn it into an electronic-orchestra piece, but until then, I've got competitions to write for

So, Colorado has this bill that says that every year, state employees will have the final paycheck of the fiscal year deferred to the next year for some accounting BS that was supposed to get the state out of debt. I'm not quite sure how that works, because they make employees skip one month's pay in order to pay them that same amount the next month. This originally applied only to employees with monthly salaries, but someone thought it would be a good idea to tack on hourly employees paid bi-weekly. Like me.

+

Now, for some unknown reason, this year it works out to this Friday's paycheck being the last bit of money paid to me until July 1st, which is fucking absurd. I have to start planning trips to the food bank and everything because of this bullshit. I'm pretty pissed, so I went searching for the text of the bill (surprisingly hard to do), and came across this gem:

+

SALARIES PAID ON A BI-WEEKLY BASIS FOR THE FOURTEEN-DAY PAY PERIOD PRECEDING THE FIRST FOURTEEN-DAY PAY PERIOD FOR WHICH SALARIES PAID ON A BI-WEEKLY BASIS FOR ANY WORK PERFORMED DURING THE MONTH OF JUNE ARE PAID ON OR AFTER JULY 1 SHALL BE PAID ON THE FIRST WORKING DAY OF JULY.

+

...?

+

Breaking it down...

+
+SALARIES PAID ON A BI-WEEKLY BASIS {
+    FOR THE FOURTEEN-DAY PAY PERIOD PRECEDING {
+        THE FIRST FOURTEEN-DAY PAY PERIOD FOR WHICH {
+            SALARIES PAID ON A BI-WEEKLY BASIS {

+    }
+}
+SHALL BE PAID ON THE FIRST WORKING DAY OF JULY.
+^------- Syntax Error: unexpected token 'shall'(V-subjunct.) at start of line.
+
+ +

Or maybe:

+
+SALARIES PAID ON A BI-WEEKLY BASIS {
+    FOR THE FOURTEEN-DAY PAY PERIOD PRECEDING {
+        THE FIRST FOURTEEN-DAY PAY PERIOD FOR WHICH {
+            SALARIES PAID ON A BI-WEEKLY BASIS {

+            ARE PAID ON OR AFTER JULY 1
+        }
+    }
+    SHALL BE PAID ON THE FIRST WORKING DAY OF JULY.
+}
+
+Segmentation fault.  Core dumped.
+
+ +

Long story short, borrowing money.

+

EDIT: Not quite so horrible as I made it out to be - I'll still get paid on the fifth of June, due to paychecks coming two weeks after the end of each pay period. But for someone who's living paycheck to paycheck, a month is quite a long time

Sorry for the short post last night, wasn't really in the mood for typing a whole big thing up.

+

James and I were ten miles into an eighteen mile ride when we had to cross one of Fort Collins' many railroad tracks - this one at the bottom of a short hill. I usually do alright crossing this track, but with a lot of gravel on the shoulder, I had to aim for a different crossing. Unfortunately, this part of the crossing had big pothole that I didn't see until too late. With the downhill angle, the corner of the railroad crossing ties, and my speed of about 18 mph, my front wheel was crimped on impact, even with the high pressure tires. I stayed upright for another three feet or so, but the crimped wheel stopped rolling after it got to my breaks and I went over the handlebars. Unfortunately, James was right behind me and crashed right into me when I hit the ground, basically using my kidneys as a jump.

We both tumbled for a bit, then dragged our bikes off the road. Another biker stopped to ask if we were alright and waited around as we called our friend to come pick us up (John Wright rocks :D). After we got home and John left, I punched a hole in the living room wall. It feels like everything I love doing just ends in disaster, and I was pretty pissed about the crash.

+

I've got road rash on a good bit of my left side and my gear is a little scraped, but not too badly, my left knee's freaking out (fingers crossed that it's nothing big), and my lower back hurts like hell whenever I move, but I think my kidneys are alright. James has a little bit of road rash and some muscle in his left shoulder might be torn, so he's in a borrowed sling for a bit. My front wheel is trashed, as is my rear bike light, and James' front wheel is out of true, possibly trashed. Other than that, the bikes seem fine.

+

Thanks for all the comments and concern - everything's fine, but I'm still pretty pissed. Oh well, my mom might come up to help me patch the drywall and to possibly get me a new front wheel as an early Christmas present, which should help a lot

So I've now completed several projects for work in my new position - I modified the library's calendar to use LDAP for authentication and changed things to fit the library's standards; I've researched the possibility of migrating the site to a content management system as well as possibilities for specific systems; I researched and implemented GIS enabling the library; and now I've completed in three days a full library catalog system for a portion of the library that's not kept in the base catalog, including LDAP authentication, searching, checking books out, etc.

+

Everyone seems pleased with my progress, but I'm still dissatisfied. For one, the only project to be implemented so far is the calendar. The CMS project was apparently completely and totally unnecessary: not only were they already planning on migrating to a CMS, but they already had a CMS picked out, despite my research and recommendations. The GIS stuff was appreciated by surprisingly few people at first, but has suddenly turned into a committee effort, involving meetings and bureaucracy heretofore unimagined; it will probably be wrested from my hands and outsourced or I'll be forced to change everything to some products that have more buzzwords attached. The catalog was appreciated and will be deployed soon enough, thankfully, but I was forced to work with some undesirable technology which shall remain anonymous to protect myself from flaming. All this, and I'm still making less than entry-level tech-support wages at Hartshorn Health Center, where my friend wound up; and I'm making far less than my coworker in tech support who isn't doing any development. If I don't receive a raise by the end of the fiscal year, I think I'll install Sibelius on my Windows box here and spend my time composing instead of working - I'll work only as much as I get paid :o

Quite the kerfuffle over the desktop backgrounds they want to push to the public computers. Apparently, there's some turf war going on over who gets to decide this: the public area coordinators, or the marketing team. Unfortunately, the marketing team has won. Here are the proposed desktops (8MB PDF).

+

Note that students were not involved at all in the decision making process, nor was anyone with anything beyond a mediocre grasp of Adobe Photoshop asked to help. The only input we got was when we were asked how possible it would be to push news and advertisements to the desktop backgrounds via a PDF. You can trust that that was shot down as quickly as possible, as was anything relating to web pages as the desktop.

+

Currently writing a letter to those involved asking why students had no say in the look and feel of student computers. Grr

I spent the day having responsibilities that aren't mine pushed upon me unwillingly because people can't deal with them themselves. So when I got home today (to a package, yay) and talked with Moondog, I was hardly in the mood for an argument, so I tried everything I could think off to be as reasonable as possible, and now we're in limbo. Everything, that is, except backing down. There's nothing I can do about our current dilema. I've dealt with just dealing with things that make me uncomfortable in relationships in the past, and it almost always lead to disaster, so I stand firm (ha ha) on my current boundry of no sex. However, that just seemed to confuse things as I offered Moondog myself as I was before. I'm trying my hardest to be steadfast, but it's only seeming to make things worse. I wish I knew if I were helping Michael, or hurting him further by doing this. It makes me just want to give up sometimes; curl up, fall asleep, and never wake again

Words for Andreal +Composition - I suppose this one's pretty obvious, since I whine about it so much. I first remember playing around with composing things back in elementary school, but it never really went anywhere until late in high school when I first started really getting into performance with choir. By that point, I was writing silly little choral songs that make me shudder now that I look back on them. Alas, I still shudder when I listen to most of my output these days. That's the point of school, though, to get better. + +Mead - This started freshman year of college when I was fooling around with the idea of brewing mead, and turned into one of my primary hobbies for quite a while. I brewed quite a few decent batches, but recently, haven't done nearly as much. The problem, I think was when I got into beer and larger scale stuff. I just didn't have the patience to work with five gallons of liquid at a time, and it was much easier and faster to work with only a gallon at a time. Still, I've been thinking up batches to try out soon. + +Pince-nez - I don't actually wear glasses - I just think a dapper fox would look pretty hot with the nose-pinchy glasses! + +Foxy - Over the years, I've gotten stuck with the fox thing, when it comes to species. It's been agreed that that might not actually fit me the best, but that it's probably too late for any change to really stick. Alternatives seem to be otter or goat. + +Dedication - While I'm flattered by this, I'm not sure how applicable it is. I feel pretty mercurial most of the time, and I often wallow in guilt when it comes to interests that I haven't touched in months or years, or people that I've just dropped :o/ Oh well, better to still be striving, I guess. + +Leave a comment, and I'll give you five words I associate with you to write about. + +

From a call this morning: my uncle and his boyfriend had moved to Florida and ran out of money. They were living in a rented house with no utilities connected. Somehow, they still managed to afford drugs, though, and purchased some pills of some sort, which they crushed and mixed with (probably) hot water in order to inject in between their toes. Both overdosed and died fairly soon after (ten minutes was the quoted number). After the full autopsy, they will likely be cremated and sent.. somewhere. My family wants to keep them together wherever they go, since they were together for something like 20 years, but we need to okay that with the other next-of-kin.

+

While I wasn't particularly close to the uncle, and this wasn't much of a surprise due to him having used and abused Heroin since as long as I can remember, I DID look up to him for maintaining a relationship for that long and through all that mess. I'm not surprised by this happening, just.. sad. I don't know, I'm sure I need more time to think about it.

Anyway, I got my iPhone today :o

Before Samir gets on my case about inconsistancy, or Michael tries to read my rather odd reply to his comment this morning, I feel that I should make myself clear.

+

Something odd happened this morning. I was fuming over the replies to my previous post and how it was misinterpereted when I started to remember the past few months. Certain things struck my in particular (and they shall remain private) about the relationship between Michael and I. The more I thought and read through my post, the more I realized just how stubborn I was being, and so I thought on that a bit. I've come to the conclusion, with the help of both Michael and Samir, that a mate should ultimately be able to change for the sake of his mate to the extent that they feel comfortable. It's part of love, and it's part of devotion, and this seems to be something that I've forgotten over the past few days. I don't want to seem like I'm trying to escape a problem, I just realized how simple of a problem it really was.

+

So the result of my slight epiphany? I love you, Michael, and I suppose I feel comfortable declaring that publically. I love you enough that, given time, I suppose I could change. Maybe not completely, but enough that I feel I could deal with the way things are. No, not deal, enjoy. So, if you're still willing, if I haven't pushed you too far away, I'd like for you to remain my mate and help me as much as possible with any changes that need to be made by cooperating with my body for this short time while it rebels by being silent. I sincerely apologize for all the grief and confusion I've caused, but please, work with me.

+

That said, both you and Samir, I think, read my previous post incorrectly, as I meant to just be summarizing the discussion for journal's sake, however weird it might have come out. God damn the english language, and I'm sorry for my ambiguous wording.

+

Remember, Love keeps no record of wrongs, it does not rejoice in evil by rejoices in truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. I Corinth. 1

Hi Matt, +  +I took Hank in to see the vet this week about the weight loss and got the results today of the tests.  It turns out he has a very aggressive form of cancer and the vet thinks he just has 3-6 weeks left.  Fortunately he is not in pain and I have a chance now to make sure he gets some special food and extra walks for his last days.  He has been such a great friend and head of home security for so many years.  I can't help crying when I think of not having him around.  He loves seeing you so much, I hope you can come by again so you can say goodbye. +  +Love, +  +Mo

I've been alternating between apathy toward my situation and crushing emotions surrounding it. I really wish that I could sit down and write about it without having the two battle for control of the keyboard. About the only thing I feel strongly in one way about, however, is the trip to Aspen, which has helped me to decide not to be in choir anymore. Everything else - the house, Washington, my dog, work - is a bunch of mixed blessings. I feel as though it would be cathartic to get all that pent up crap out in a whiny LJ post, but every time I sit down to write the post, I either sulk or find "better" things to do.

+

That said, I'm incredibly happy for Ryan and Merry, and incredibly lucky to have James and my mom in my life. Focusing on the happy brings about the apathy, so I'll have to write about everything some other time. "Better" thing of the moment: sleep

So despite having the program for quite a while now, and the fact that I've ridden my bike to work almost every day now, I finally got around to using RunKeeper to track the ride, and whaddayaknow, it's actually really awesome. Check it out: my ride to work. I've been saying seven miles, but I think that was before I started taking the Poudre trail from Timberline. I used go down Summit View, then along prospect, to pick up the Poudre Trail from their, then riding up to the Spring Creek Trail. Inefficient! Oh well, It's less than a mile of non-trail now, which is good for a relaxing commute. I should use RunKeeper for real rides, when I get back to doing them :o) 10.08 miles per day isn't bad, though

Zk | Most action packed dream ever

+
+
+

This morning's dream totally seemed like some sort of action movie. At the beginning, my younger brother and I got separated while I was busy being emo and eating breakfast with Shade. He wound up on some train or ship (long like a train, but somehow over a large body of water) that was holding a bunch of really smart children captive. Because we were both scientific geniuses, we independently discovered the same thing, which was that there was some sort of algal bloom in the pacific in the crook of Alaska and Canada called the 'cytochasm' (v. important in the dream, everyone kept saying it) that was caused by a greenhouse gas. The big problem was that this was some sort of weird.. uh.. couldn't remember the phrase in my dream, can't remember it now.. wound up calling it a self-fulfilling prophecy because the pollutant that caused the bloom caused the algae to create more of the pollutant. This was causing some sort of horrible reaction in the upper atmosphere that generating a lot of heat and spreading at the same speed as the bloom, creating an almost visibly widening hole in the ozone. I woke up then, but there was all sorts of foreshadowing of how the train my brother was on was the source of the pollutant, how my brother and I would be reunited, how Shade was awesome, eating quesadillas for breakfast, and finally saving the world.

So super cool. Also, this is pre-coffee, sorry for the ramblage

Emailed detailsSorry Matt, I've been pretty broken up today too. I can't talk about it without crying. +I just left a voice mail for you. Hank really calmed down and relaxed once the oxycontin got in his system and he was comfortable until the vet got there. He died very peacefully in my arms. Bob came over and helped me carry him out to the yard to bury him.

+

Hank was such a great dog. Probably the most intelligent dog I've ever had. The vet was amazed he lived as long as he did after the cancer was found. He was sure a fighter. He was trotting on the trails and chasing rabbits up until yesterday so he really enjoyed life.

I'm going to pronounce 'yage' the american way, rhyming with sage, instead of the traditional way, 'yah-hey'. This has lead me to imagine a picture of Lady Sage (Salvia) and Master Yage (Yage) as furs, Salvia being a green vixen, middle aged, and Yage being a purplish male wolf, old and wisened. Also, I feel like equating Lady Salvia to Eris.

Anyhoo, today was odd. Lots of choir stuffs, then a strange party in bio. Ryan, Kiran, and I left to go walk around Viele. After, Chivalry, where the conductors gave the pianists a card. I drove Ryan and Andrew home, and headed back myself to clean up after my 2x extraction of Salvia finished. The remains were consecrated and burned.

+

At group, I was confronted with some possible changes in group culture, that, if they go into effect, will lead me to stop going. So instead of staying for the first hour, Michael and I went and sat by my car to talk (which shall remain private), me on a towel so as not to get grass all over my Excal suit. After that, the concert. My mom had insisted on a light dinner of a salad before, so I stopped and got some fries at Wendy's and Kory stared at me from the next lane as we cruised down Broadway. It took a while for me to notice. May Our Paths went well until the bases decided to leave before the curtain closed due to an ambiguous cue from Keller.

+

This was followed shortly by Chivalry, which went very well. From the time I left the stage to the time I left the school, random people - mostly choir kids - came up to me and shook my hand, telling me how wonderful it was. I'd met up with Shannon earlier, and this didn't seem to make her very happy. I still feel slightly like I'm blamed by her for her outlook on choir. Oh well. More random, high profile people told me that they voted for me for #1 choir geek; I'm starting to think that I should think some about a speech for tomorrow. Anyway, massed choir followed and went really well. It felt kinda odd, like a penultimate moment. I think tomorrow's going to be really powerful, personally, and I probably won't feel so hot afterwards. I'm going to miss choir a lot, despite the shit I talk about it sometimes to keep myself ingratiated with friends or release anger with Revier. Specifically, there are a few people who I'm going to miss a whole lot, like Jerred and Kory, even though tomorrow's not the last time I'll see them. I feel kinda bad for still having a thing for Kory, even though I'm in a relationship currently.

For those dog people out there, I've got a question. Within the last few days, Zephyr's started getting more and more afraid of everything out doors, to the point where I sometimes have to block the entrance to the deck long enough for him to do his business in the back yard, lest he run up and whine at the door. He was leash-trained with 'heel' (well, sort of ^^), and would run with me for about a block or two, but now just tries to hide under ever car we pass. Is this a phase, permanent, or something else I should be worried about? He's seven and a half weeks old, which, I've heard, is the beginning of the "fear imprinting" phase, but I didn't expect that to mean that he would start being afraid of things he wasn't before.

+

Secondly, I know this is a very important time for socialization, but the vet-nurse flat pretty much flat out told me that I wasn't to socialize him with other dogs until he got his third distemper/parvo vaccine, which won't be for another six weeks. This seems like it would cut out a lot of that learning period and possibly leave him unpredictable around other dogs. Is this the case

Sob story.I was thinking I wouldn't cry, or maybe shed a single tear (onto the unicorn's horn..) during Hold Your Hand. And I did, so I thought I wasn't going to any more. But then Keller and Revier sang their song and I fucking sobbed. And I didn't stop until about 10, half an hour after the concert ended.

Sorry I haven't written in so long. I've been feeling like I'm totally overwhelmed by the ups and downs going on right now, like they're happening so suddenly that I have no time to think about them. Well, now I've got an hour free, and I figure writing about things is a pretty effective way to think about them. Gonna be kind of stream-of-consciousness due to time limitations, so, in no chronological order:

+

FC was amazing, really. I didn't really go to any panels, and instead spent quite a bit of time showing James around and hanging out with a bunch of awesome people. Spent lots of money on food, but had some amazing stuff, including some excellent Ethiopian and Italian. Traveling home with someone made the PCD pretty light, since I had someone to talk about the con with and keep me company. Usually, the loneliness is the worst part of it.

+

Zephpup has been growing up pretty quickly, and he's now about 45lbs and pretty difficult to pick up anymore. His feet are still big and stompy, so I think he may have another 15 or so pounds to go before he's "fully grown". He's been losing teeth left and right, bleeding all over the dog park and freaking people out when they see the spots of blood on the snow. On Friday, however, I ducked out side to move the car and came back in to find him with his head stuck (literally) in a bag that had previously contained chicken bones - something potentially fatal if they splinter. First time at the emergency vet hospital (and hopefully the last, though that place was amazing!) with the pup, where he got some radiographs done. Three chicken bones sitting in his gut, thankfully almost completely intact, since he didn't see fit to chew them after stealing them off the dining table. Outlook is good, though - he has a very good chance of either demineralizing/digesting the bones or just passing them, but he's still on med watch at home in case one of them splinters and perforates some part of his GI tract. Stupid dogs :| The X-rays were expensive enough, I'm just hoping surgery isn't necessary and that he passes the bones safely.

+

Despite that rather large cost, I'm not too worried about money. I mentioned a while ago (though maybe not here) that I was being audited. Turns out, that was because I forgot to submit some documentation with my tax amendment for the first-time homebuyer's credit. After going to an actual tax preparer last week, though, I'm glad the amendment was rejected, since applying for the credit as an amendment on a previous year's taxes turns it into a loan, and I don't want to pay that off. With their help, though, looks like my return is going to be $11,000 with the credit included. I'm hoping to pay off my card and cut it up, possibly get a camcorder, then start saving for a car, since the Pathfinder's getting pretty crappy :oP

+

One of the biggest stressors right now is my senior composition recital coming up in a little less than a month. I've got performers and music all lined up, but I'm still having a hard time getting any rehearsals done, and people aren't communicating very well with me. I'm also starting to freak out over the fact that I have to conduct one of the larger pieces myself, something which I'm pretty awful at. I have to tune out the music and just conduct beat patterns in order to not get messed up, which isn't very.. good :oP Thankfully, work's been fine. Despite some printer fuckups, I've had a good bit of time to sit and conduct the wall to practice.

+

Composing hasn't stopped with the recital coming up, thankfully, and I've had a good bit more inspiration than I did last semester. I've been working on a three-movement set of songs for choir, soloists, and Pierrot ensemble called "Bird Songs" with texts by a friend, St. Francis of Assisi, and Wallace Stevens. I'm also working on some incidental evocative music for 's book, Thousand Leaves, and I'm about 70% done with the first draft of the first movement. First time I've written directly for a large ensemble (that is, not arranging a previously written piece).

+

A lot of creativity has been happening on the programming front, too. After getting a little fed up with Sibelius, I've started work on a program to help me write directly in Lilypond, whose output is amazing. The cool part about Lilypond is that its a text format, so you can diff it easily, so I'm thinking of tying it in with a website which would act as a revision control system for composers. That way, instead of just saving a score to your computer, you can save it to the site and update it every now and then, then publish it for everyone to see when you've finished. The program is being written in Java, so it would be trivial to make it into an applet, which would mean that you could work on your music from any computer with a browser and Java installed. Big plans. Anyway, also got my portfolio site up and running in order to apply for a composer-in-residence position with these guys, which I hope works out well. If nothing else, it's good to have the site back up, so I can show off scores more easily. Man, I love Django :3

+

Anyway, work's being a butt, so that's all for now

On Friday, March 26th at 4:30PM in the Organ Recital Hall at the UCA, I had my senior recital.  The recital is a for-credit class that is technically geared towards performance majors, but they’re required of composition, education, and bachelor of the arts majors as well.  Usually, grading is pretty straight-forward.  Your applied teacher sits in the audience and watches you along with everything else, grading your performance of music that you have learned under their tutelage over the last however many semesters.  Grades are as you would expect them – technicality, stage presence, song interpretation, working with the accompanist, and so on.

+ +

Composition is a little different, however.  With composition, your work on the pieces has already been graded by the applied professor, for the most part, you aren’t even performing the pieces.  The point of the recital shifts away from proving you can sing or play to proving you can pull together music and get it performed somehow.  Your job changes from learning music and reciting it on stage to writing music, finding performers, organizing rehearsals, then organizing the recital and possibly conducting or performing the pieces, though the focus on that latter part is minimal.

Alrighty.  I used LiveJournal for quite a while and some of their current changes combined with the changes I’ve gone through in the way I think about blogging have prompted me to switch to a more personal system such as this.  WordPress was just the ticket, and since it was free and I can set it up the way I want, it all works out for the best.  I’ll try to link my posts over to my old LJ blog as well, just so that they get read by the masses over there, but I’m thinking that all of my writing will take place here, for the most part!

Zk | The Importance of Processes

+
+
+

In my post-recital… ennui?  Freedom?  Afterglow?  Well, anyhow, after my recital, I’ve found that it’s rather difficult to get back into writing music after spending so long away from it simply trying to get the recital up and running with as few hitches as possible (as has already been previously beaten to death here), and even though its been two weeks, I’ve only written about five bars of music.

+ +

Part of the problem has been that I was fairly demoralized after the recital.  After seeing how difficult it was to pull together the performers and get them learning the music as best as possible in even so long a time, I felt that perhaps I was doing something wrong with my music, writing it in such a way as to make it difficult for the performers to learn, read from, or perform.  It was hard for me to go back to writing music that I felt would cause more of the same reactions that I got to my music on my senior recital.

+ +

Beyond that, though, I felt that I had lost the sense of process that I had used to write music in the past, a process that served me through several years.  Several of my pieces are based off one process or another.  For example, each of the Character Dances was based off one aspect of a relationship between me and another.  TW was based off the idea of constancy against flightiness.  The left hand of the piano only plays two notes for the entire piece, while the right hand skitters around it indicating a change too quick to handle.

The idea stemmed from my own problems in articulating what I believed, and I found that the more I wrote, the easier it was for me to define my thoughts.

My experience with software developing in any sort of managed (read: rational) way is actually rather limited.  I didn’t really know what Agile was until a few days ago, I’ve only been using RCSes for the last few years, I sold or gave away all of my O’Reilly books, and I always seem to be a little behind the times.  Now that I’ve been getting more and more into programming, though, I’ve decided that managed programming environments are most definitely a good thing, even as a solo developer.  I read up on Agile, switched from Subversion to Git in several cases, and I’ve been trying to keep a little more current, finally caving and adopting an IDE (NetBeans) and some project management software.

Working on a rather large project in grails, I’ve come to realize two things: there is some absolutely amazing software frameworks out there, and some people who write documentation appear to be 3-year-old kids who speak English as a second language.  The embarrassing part about that is that, since the project is open-source, I could contribute to the documentation very easily, fixing problems that I see and adding where I see fit.  However, the problem is so large and daunting (and the project I’m working on way more interesting), so instead, I wind up just living with it and searching El Goog over and over again for the same things.

I’m going to try to change this as best I can, and I’m going to start by collecting a few nifty tips and tricks I’ve pulled out of thin air here, and hopefully pull them all together into one place soon enough.

NPR’s Planet Money podcast recently aired a program on the deficit and what average Americans think would be the best way to fix it by cutting only one thing. I don’t think that cutting just one thing would ever fix a problem so huge, but crowd-sourcing such an idea is not a new concept. Whitehouse.gov itself used this at one point, allowing users to ask the newly elected Obama a question in an open forum, even using the users to help police the question boards through a flagging procedure. The neat part about crowd-sourcing with limitations is that not only does it keep discussions rather more on track than an open forum, but it takes a small (minuscule in the grand scheme of things) step towards direct democracy which may or may not be a good thing, I really don’t know, but it sometimes feels like this could make things a little better.

+ +

One of the overwhelming questions on the whitehouse.gov forum was about legalization of marijuana. This issue has come up in my life three times now – the first was when I read Carl Sagan’s Contact way back when which featured a little vignette about marijuana being legalized and “this [being] deducted from your share in paradise”; the second was when I was on a bit of a spirituality/drugs/poetry kick and wound up reading Dale Pendell’s Pharamko/Poeia; and the third was when I recently finished with Michael Lewis’ The Big Short and got set off onto a financial kick. Since I finished The Big Short today and thus am still on said kick, I’ve been peeking into the issue of the financial implications of legalizing marijuana, but I’m having quite a hard time finding the information I need in the morass of data out there, little of which is readily available or easily searched.

Stole it from [info]rhaenburger

100% TMI, so.. yeah.

Read more...

 1.Is there anyone on your friends list you would ever consider having sex with?
Probably - already have with quite a few.

2. Sex in the morning, afternoon or night?
Doesn't really matter ^^ Most receptive in the morning, it seems.

3. What side of the bed do you sleep on?
Whichever side Zephyr ISN'T on.

4. Do you masturbate?
Yep.

5. How often? Lately?
Lately?  1-2x per day.  Can be as high as 4x/day or as low as 1x/week

6. Have you ever taken your clothes off for money?
No.

7. Do you prefer showers or baths?
Showers.  I don't fit well in many baths.

8. Have you ever had sex in the shower or the bath?
Sorta, yeah.  Was too awkward :o/

9. Do you watch/read pornography?
Yep, though it's not often that it does much for me.  I'm more of an obsessive collector than an actual looker.

10. Do you want someone aggressive or passive in bed?
Aggressive, but I suspect the original author meant dominant or submissive.  I go either way on that, so long as I'm not doing everything - passive people who need to be told to do everything don't really do much for me.

11. Do you love someone on your friends list?
Oh, sure!  Lots :o)  Seriously, too, love's free and benefits both parties, even if the other party doesn't realize it's there.

12. Do you know all the people on your friends list?
Nope.

13. Would you choose love or money?
This is NEVER an either-or scenario.  Un-ask the question.

14. Your top three favourite kinks in bed?
Um.. hmm.  I'm not very kinky.  Exhibitionism, definitely.  Maybe.. being quiet?  Like.. acting as if nothing is really going on during orgasm, just quietly breathing in and out and trying to keep my breathing stable.  Can't really think of many others.  Multiple partners, maybe?

15. Has anyone ever gone beyond your personal line of respect sexually?
Yes, but I was young :o)

16. Where is the most romantic place you have had sex?
Oh, they're all good :D

17. Where is the weirdest place you have had sex?
On the steps of the back deck, or maybe laying out in the back yard.

18. Have you ever been caught having sex?
I don't think so..?

19. Have you ever been to a strip club?
Nah, pass.

20. Ever been to a bar just to get sex?
Depends.  I've gone to a bar with someone with the end goal of sex at the end of the night!  Not to pick anyone up, though.

21. Ever been kicked out of a bar or a club for sexual reasons?
Nah.

22. Ever been picked up in a bar?
No, but not for lack of trying.  Sorry, guy :o/

23. Have you ever kissed or had sex with someone of the same sex?
Yep.

24. What's your sexuality?
Bisexual.

25. Had sex in a cinema?
No, but things have gotten pretty heated in one before.

26. Had sex in a bathroom?
Sure.  My complaint was how many right angles and sharp corners there were :3

27. Have you ever had sex at work?
Nope.  RP'd, though, lots.

28. Have you ever been in an "adult" store?
Yep.

29. Bought something from an adult store?
I.. don't think so, actually!

30. Do you own any sex toys?
Yep.

31. If yes, how many and what are they?
Two - a dildo (from Zeta, heh) and a vibrator.

32. Does anyone have naughty pics of you or are you on film?
Oh sure, they're available online :o)

33. Have you ever had sex with someone and called them the wrong name?
Nah, I don't really make noises during sex.

34. Have you ever had phone sex?
Yeah, wasn't really my thing.  It served more to emphasize the distance rather than bring us closer.

35. Have you ever had cyber-sex?
Yep!  At least.. check 679 times, according to the tally, but I know I missed some.

36. Do you think oral sex constitutes as a form of intercourse?
Sure..?  "constitutes as a form of intercourse" sounds so dry.  Yes, it's sex.

37. What's your favourite sexual position?
I'm willing to try most any, but the favorite depends on the mood.

38. What's your favourite sex act?
Hmm.. dunno that I've had one that I've not enjoyed!  I used to not get anything out of receiving oral sex, but that's since changed.

39. Have you ever had sex with more than one person at a time?
Yeh.  Several times :o)

40. Who do you think has the guts to repost this?
Whoever.  I don't think many will, but I'd be curious to see some people's answers ^^

I’ve been listening to podcasts, watching videos, and reading articles over the past two or three years that relate to the financial melt-down as well as politics and gender issues.  These things really do interest me quite a bit, as I’ve always wondered how something as abstract as government really works, ever since Dr. Carter’s history class in high school. I mean, it always looked so good on paper that it boggled the mind to think that that was how things really worked in the world.  Of course, now I’m much older – I’ve been out of high school (and away from Dr. Carter) for seven years or so and I’ve come to realize that the idealized form of direct democracy they teach in elementary and middle school, and the idealized form of representative democracy they teach in high school barely begin to scratch the surface.

+ +

Lets go ahead and combine this with the fact that it seems as though Planet Money, one of the financial podcasts that I follow, was created solely to explain the financial crisis to people in clear terms, seemingly a spin-off of This American Life after that show aired a few episodes regarding not only the financial issues, but issues of health care and housing.  We can also add in the additional reading and discussing that has been going on between a few friends and I about the problems involved in religion, and a few other friends and I about the problems involved in gender.

+ +

Finally, combine these with a few books I’ve been reading about disparate subjects but which all involve this concept of non-spatial, non-temporal ideas and we get the hole I’ve dug myself in now.

I woke this morning to the doorbell ringing, and immediately raced upstairs so I wouldn't miss the god-damned FedEx man. Even after the call, he was an hour earlier than even yesterday, showing up at around 10. Anyhoo, I've been fucking around with the new powerbook for most of the day; mostly having loads of fun.

Mostly, I say, because Michael and I sorta figured out what needed to be done, and did it, even if it wasn't that much fun. However, I think it's for the best. Hasn't gotten to me yet, though I think tomorrow may be interesting.

I just realized that I posted this to Twitter and not anywhere else; whoops!

+ +

Anyhow, I’m an avid reader of FlowingData, because Nathan Yau, the man behind it, does some pretty awesome stuff.  His visualizations are clear and still aesthetically pleasing, and his concepts are always nice.  Of particular interest to me, when I first started reading, was your.flowingdata which is a means to track your own life through Twitter – for example, you can tell it when and how far you ride your bike every day and have it automatically generate a visualization of distances ridden over time.

+ +

Recently, however, he posted a little challenge of sorts.  Given a dataset, we, the readers, were to visualize it our own way and draw some conclusions from our visualizations (that, after all, being the point of visualizations).  I’d never done anything like that before for various reasons.  I didn’t want to learn a new domain-specific language such as R that would then require me to edit my results in the form of an image in some other program such as Gimp or Inkscape.  Also, Gimp and Inkscape have some quirks that I’m still learning, and I didn’t want to have to chose between learning those and buying Adobe CS.  However, I have been working quite a bit with Javascript recently, so it seemed to make sense that, when I found two libraries – Flot and Protovis – for visualization in JS that I go ahead and use one of these ‘Visualize This’ challenges to learn one of them.  It’ll definitely be helpful in the future.

+ +

The most recent challenge was visualizing data from the National Survey of Sexual Health and Behavior.  Given a small set of data – percentage of respondents in different age groups admitting to engaging in nine different behaviors over the past year – I worked hard to learn Protovis from scant documentation in order to pull together a visualization.  Since it takes place over three ‘slides’ and has text to go along with it, I’ll let it speak for itself here.

Nathan Yau, over at FlowingData, posted another “Visualize This” challenge, this time to take a look at some data that Wikipedia released regarding their recent fundraising campaign.  They tracked four banners’ performance – how many people visited the pages, how many people wound up starting the donation process, and how many people actually completed the donation process, amongst several other factors.  Again, I figured I’d take a stab at showing the data with Protovis.

I woke up this morning with an idea in mind and, lo and behold, over the process of the day, finished the visualization.  At least, a rough draft of it.  This one’s even personalizable!  Check out a sample here.

+ +

FurAffinity.net is a neat site full of neat artists and good community.  However, the statistics they provide for each user’s art are not only private, but rather lacking, being simply a list of numbers.  Sounds like a good job for visualization, though!  The numbers FA provides are views, favorites, and comments per submission.  Not only did I display those, but averaging them and normalizing for those averages gives a pretty good idea of relative popularity of each submission.  Users can view all four statistics in a steam chart, and also each alone in a bar chart.  I figured this was a good way to divide things up: trends are visible in general over time and one can explore specifics for each set.

+ +

There’s still some work I’d like to do, and I’m planning on collating the data I collect into a general graph of submissions on FA, but that’s for later.  It’s fall break and I’m still on the job!

It’s been a busy few days at home and work.  Work itself was really slow, so I started working on one large visualization project and wound up completing another smaller one in the meantime.  I may need to take a break from protovis for a little while, as I’ve been working for several days straight on these projects.

+ +

The smaller of the two projects was a very fast (about two hours) visualization of data regarding a disturbing punishment discrepancy between heterosexual/non-heterosexual teens by both the justice system and schools.  You can see in the vis that, in some cases, non-heterosexual teens can be two to three times as likely to be punished by schools or police.  Some reasons for this are debated in the original article that was pointed out to me.  The comments section on the article is rather distressing, I should warn.

+ +

The second, larger project has taken up most of my energy over the past few days.  A friend pointed me toward the results of the Furry Survey, which I hadn’t seen before.  The furry community differs from society at large in several very important demographic areas, from gender to sexual orientation (or at least openness regarding the same), to mean age.  With these important differences, I felt that a series of visualizations was almost necessary.  I’ve pulled those together into a dashboard that displays each visualization in miniature (not just thumbnails – the visualizations are reconstructed in miniature within the dashboard).  Check it out and find out some neat things about the furry fandom.  If you don’t know what furries are… well, Google carefully.

Two new aspects visualized: species and a choropleth of population for the US.  I had to grab, shred, and parse the data myself from responses to forum topics (i.e.: members would respond with their location and a moderator would add their name to one enormous list – I had to turn that into JSON with magic), so the data may not be terribly accurate, but some trends may be visible.  Since they’re separate but related, I’ve added them to a different section of the site.

Not going to go through the whole weekend and recap everything, 'cause that'd be silly, and I forgot a whole lot anyway! Spent a lot of the con chilling with James and Jill around the hotel, much of that time in suit. At one point there was a mead tasting with Jill (and three of her friends), James, Acy, Vlad, Soluco (and one of his Asian posse), Tsuki, Roma, and Here. Everyone liked the sack metheglin, so I'll try to make a five gallon batch when I can afford the honey, soon enough. Went out for amazing sushi with John, Jane, and James on Santana Row. Went to a youtube party. Got separated from the other otters in the parade because I'm really dumb. Danced way too much at the dead dog with one of those otters - angry otter suit, shy Canadian guy. Drank a lot of Philz coffee, gin and tonics, and $12 hotel mojitos.

+

I didn't really do a whole lot, all told - I only peeked in on a few panels, and I never went through the dealers den out of suit - but it was still a really fun con. Also, didn't drink or spend nearly as much as I normally do! Pictures of the ottsuit are slowly trickling in, here's a few!

Zk | A Visual Resume

+
+
+

At the beginning of this year, I had two jobs.  By March, however, I had quit one and been informed that I was, for all intents and purposes, being laid off from the other.  While this wasn’t a huge surprise, I was still pretty disappointed – time to start the job-hunt again.  I brushed up my resume, pulled all my references together, and got started searching.  As I applied and attended job fairs and the like I started noticing a disheartening trend, however.  I’m graduating in May with a degree in music composition, but applying for technical jobs.  More than I once, I was turned down without further consideration as soon as the recruiter got to the education section of my resume.

+ +

Rather than be coy about my education, however, I’m combining the fact that much of my applying for jobs happens online with my resume into a visual resume that offers all the same information while show-casing my design and visualization abilities.

Choir video: I finished it in time, luckily, though I bullshitted the last bit of it (from all-state on) Apparently people still liked it, considering the amount of people that came up to me afterwards and complimented and/or asked for a copy of it. Kristal remarked just how many pictures contained Kory, along with most people I asked. Also, I apparently made the All-State Section too long and made some people feel bad. Well, I did what I could with what I had. I'd like to thank Shannon for being so tolerant with me sort of brushing her off. I gave her lots of credit in the video because, even though it seemed like I didn't let her do much, she really helped with moral support and ideas. Also, she bought me hot chocolate afterwards at Caffe Sole. ^^

+

Graduation: I didn't know I was supposed to call Jim/Terb for that, my apologies. It went well, though. Fairly standard as far as graduations go, though; got a diploma in the end. Dad and Julie came over and had Mr. Pilot take pictures of various couplings of parents and me for them. They got buzzed after chugging champagne like beer, and my mom got drunk on a glass. Michael and Shannon came over too, and partook in garlicky dip and a glass of champagne as well. Wondering where everyone was, I called Terb and Ryan. Terb and Jim came over, Ryan forgot it was then, couldn't make it. We eventually all ended up on the floor in the basement watching movie trailers and the like. Snuggled with Moondoggy some. He's good for that. More on that later. Pharmako/poeia came. Wondrous book.

+

Parties on Sunday: I misread two of the three invitations and ended up only going to Stephy P.'s party, as Willy's was the night before, and Laurel et al.'s is on friday. It was alright, but I got really tired and passed out early, sleeping until ten, then going back to bed at 2 and nearly oversleeping this morning. I think my body's still messed up from that last week of school 'cause, after all of that sleep, I'm tired yet again. Real tired.

+

Today: got up in time to get a shower and some stuff cleaned up downstairs before people came over. We made it to the fair in time for some foods and pictures before we met Moondog and Pilot there. More food and wandering around, spent some time by the creek. I was gonna do the thing with Michael that I had planned, but had some some second thoughts. After that, we went back to the dungeon to watch Airplane. More snuggling.

+

I'm really confused. I really do love Moondog a lot, but it.. eh. I just don't think that it would be a very healthy relationship if sex were to enter into it at all, which I'm sure it would, knowing the fluctuations of both of our hormones. I don't think I would deal with it well, considering how I dealt with it in the past. The conflict of gender and sex is too much for me, and is slowly proving yet again that I do like guys, all apologies to Moondog. Yet I'm still addicted to snuggles. It's kinda painful. I'm sure it is for both of us.

I'm going to discuss my religious views. If you disagree with them, or are personally offended by them, please don't email me, but leave a comment here. That at least gives me an option to read them. If you mail me, I'll delete your mail. These are my opinions and I'm not asking for yours.

+

Religion is a good idea implemented in a bad way, especially christianity. However, I consider myself a christian in an.. abstract sense. Religion, to me, is a way of getting large amounts of people to do something that you want to do without having to talk to them directly. The goal of most religions (note the 'most' part) is to get you to be a Good Person according to society by providing a peice of literature, a myth, or some way of communicating your desires in a way that, while people may not believe it, it'll make them think about it. That's why the bible is contradictory: it has to appeal to all sorts of different people to get them to be Good (my liberal use of capitalization is not an accident). This is why there are quiet, happy christians, loud and angry christians, and every thing in between. There are christians who fear God, and there are those who are on a first name basis with him, because either they were imprinted with this philosophy at childhood, or something in the holy writ spoke to them. The threats, like 'be Good or go to Hell' spoke to some, while other parts, like the promises of heaven or the ideal Love spoke to others. Religion reaches so many people, too, partially because of the story aspect: the bible may or may not be true, but it's still a story, and has a plot. Anyway, what I'm getting at is that religion presents a set of ideas for an ideal society.

+

The badly implemented part is that the majority of people take religion farther than I find comfortable; pushing the more obscure (and obsolete) Ideas down other people's throats by means of politics, rules, circular arguments, and general overzealousness. They don't realize that there can be different degrees of faith in their religion and that life will still go on. Subtle seems to be a difficult concept. People who can recite bible verses should check to see that they understand them, first. For example, I can recite Romans 1:22 "Professing themselves as wise, they became fools", but I understand what it means: that it is foolish to say that you're smarter than you are, or to show off how smart you are to other people. Also, people who recite should try to take the verses to heart. I know that I sometimes show off, but, for the most part, I try not to do it.

+

Now days, however, things are starting to shift a bit. The majority of religious people still tend to be fairly zealous, but more and more people that I meet tend to be reading more into the bible, not as a story, but as a set of ideas put forth by the School of Deuteronomy, the Apostles, and other people who worked on the bible to help promote Goodness, even if it means fighting for Goodness, because Goodness is Good.

My emotions are gaining distinct colors, like a kind of twisted synaesthesia. There's definitely a sense of physical location associated with each emotion, and it's not always internal. There may also be a tactile part to this, but I have yet to experience it in any different places or with any different touches, so it may just be one continuous headache that goes latent occasionally.

+

An example: when pondering Kory, a luminescent fuschia color that seems to be flowing in the right hemisphere of my brain; when thinking of Moondog and snuggling, a warm, earthy brown with a little bit of green in a pine-needle-ish pattern about a foot and a half in front of me and slightly to the left; tiredness is off-white everywhere and blind hopelessness is bright blue wrapped around my mind. The headache moves around, but it's mostly at the lower, back, right side of my head. Ibuprofin works well.

The navy blue I've been seeing at waist level in front of me and to my left is contentment. I'm not entirely sure that it being omnipresent is a good thing, however, considering the colors it's mixed with. Am I really content with longing and hopelessness? It's not out of the question, I suppose that it could just be another aspect of my personality. But that just brings up the question of whether or not it's something I ingrained into myself through habit, something where I just kinda accepted that feeling such things is normal, okay, and what I want; or is it something I was born with, or that we're all born with? Is it a side effect of love, expecting impossible desires and the blind hopelessness that follows the end of a four year undertaking?

Got my dorm stuffs. Braiden Room 170. My roommate is one Francisco G. According to the address they gave me for him, he's already living in Braiden in a different room.

In other news, my most recent experience with Her was mystifying. Granted it's only my second, it still confused the b'jeezus out of me. There was no fright however, like the last time; however, my room didn't try to eat me, which helped immensely. A bit of 2x had me wishing for at least a little more to push me over the edge from scattered thoughts to flowing thoughts, so I added about the same amount of 5x as last time and lay down in my bed. I closed my eyes and visions of an autumnal forest setting of my body swept me up in yellow-gold leaves, the wind pushing me down along the contours of my body turned to stone. A concerned old woman in a flower-print dress and a flower-print apron tried to give me advice, and at first I thought it was Her, but the green divinity isn't quite so trite and godmotherly. The Lady Sage later showed herself in a face of still-green leaves and basically told me that I wasn't ready to talk with her yet, and that, for some temporary-ish answers, I should look in myself, so I did and learned some.

+

After that, I boiled down some Calea to make a resin, since it's so incredibly bitter, despite the wonderful smell of it's brew, and headed out to walk to Movie Gallery for the first Harry Potter, but ended up getting the second because the it was mis-filed. I was so confused, but I watched it anyway ^^ Mom watched some, until the disk fucked up from being scratched. She went to bed, and I got it working again to finish the movie. After that, I stayed up practicing Ginsberg's America for Facets, which is in a few weeks.

I know I haven't written much about Michael recently, but I guess when everything seems pretty cool, it doesn't feel like there's a whole lot to write about. We just sorta threw everything out the window (the window, the window, the second story window...) and got rid of all the labels and ideas we had for the relationship, and aren't calling it anything. Samir tried to define it, so I just went along with whatever he said and kept my lack of names to myself. We've been fairly close recently, and I'm feeling pretty good about that. Moondog seems to be happy as well ^

On a downswing.

+

Very angry. Parents don't seem to help the stress level, since they tend to whine a lot. A whole lot. Sometimes, it feels like home is worse than school, even though I know it's not. I'll be fine when I get home, then when my mom gets home and does the whole 'parent' thing, things just sorta go downhill. Today it happened to occur during a dicussion with Andrew, so that sorta.. sucked.

+

Sleep may be a factor, too, as I'm on my last bit of energy and it's not really that late.

+

Still not sure whether I believe the $297 for a non-stop, round trip plane ticket to Florida over Christmas break. Especially since I just bought it. Oh well, now I'm two slips of paper richer

Even though, when brewed as a tea, blue/white lotus is a sedative, I can't sleep. And I had quite a bit of that tea, too. I've worked myself into a sort of panic mode whereby I'm afraid to leave the phone, even though there's one by my bed. I'm afraid that I might miss something. I left my mom a note, since she really cares about Michael, but I'm hoping she doesn't try and take it into her own hands, like she's done it before. I think I might go add that to the note before my body gives up and crashes like it wants to

Anyhoo, didn't sleep at all last night except for a nap after dinner 'cause of panic and Moondoggy. I was so afraid 'cause he didn't call, and I started imagining the worst.

I took a sleeping pill. I should've taken two. I got three hours, laid in bed for another hour, and had to get up. Second night I can't sleep.

+

I'm glad for Michael. I think. confused

+
[Edit: Clarification]The way things worked out seemed sort of.. anticlimatic. I'm glad for Michael in that his dad was so.. accepting? At least, not condemning. That's cool, I guess, but I'm still not sure how I feel about the situation, which is why I feel sort of blank.

I got a call tonight from Shanerak of all people. We talked for an hour and a half about what's been going on with each of us, and even slipped back into our old habits of making jokes about how over the top and weird some furs are.

Nice discussion with father figure tonight, no huge swings. Just did the thinking/meditating thing (I don't know about you, but I have to think things over to clear my mind. All you people who just go blank or something are either lucky or working too hard) and it didn't really resolve anything. All I feel from it is tired.

+

Maybe the discussion had to do with the lack of swings (vice versa, too lazy to delete). Maybe keeping myself occupied helps, though it'd take an awful lot of work to keep myself as occupied as I was tonight. From overrestrictive parents, to science, to dogs, to math, to books, to music, &c. Well.. whatever

I fell asleep! Hah! I did it! I fell asleep naturally at about 7 this morning! I'd even been sleeping for about five hours when, lo, the phone rings and wakes me up. It's my mom. She informs me that she's been thinking; if I don't get a job this summer, how am I going to be able to afford books? After all, I am paying for them, right?

+

IT WOULD FOR GOD DAMN SURE BE EASIER IF I WEREN'T STILL PAYING FOR YOUR STUPID DIVORCE, FREAK. I drive 44 to 66 miles a week to go between your house and my dad's house because you two had a tiff and refuse to at least resolve it by paying for your only son's gas while you make him drive between the two goddamn houses.

+

The math gives me $2520 over the past two and a half years I've been driving. Now, if I didn't want to eat or pay for the music I own, much less anything else, sure, I could do that out of my allowance, but life's just not that simple, is it? And now I have $300 in the bank and a projected $500 for books.

+

Irate only begins to describe how I feel right now, because I'm about to drive another handful of dollars down the drain for my mom to drop off a load of branches for her at the dump. Honestly, I just feel like strewing them about the living room about now and leaving for a few days. Park my car or something and just sleep in it for a few days

I didn't realize until I found myself lying next to him on the floor, showing him how to work my ebook, that the crush I've had on him for a year and a half has diminished greatly, to the point where I think of him as a nice looking friend. This bothered me for much of the rest of the day

+

Facets. Done. Enough said.

+

Coffee. Been getting some mixed signals from Michael regarding how close we are. Need to talk to him about that, but when it occurred to me, he'd gone off to sit by himself. Also, want to talk a little about closure. I don't feel like we really had much with how the relationship ended. I guess those are kinda related, 'cause I'm not sure how to act around him. Anyway, that's for Michael and I. Talked with Samir when said lunaecanis left, told him he was pretty, and immediately regretted it. Not because he isn't, but because I feel like so much that I say comes loaded with obligation, mostly societal, that I'm not really comfortable with. Talked with him more just now online about how I couldn't possibly be the Son of God/Fount of Love/person I had previously hoped to be, and how that has affected my relationships.

At ye oulde Sleepover of doom, currently, and now, at five fifty one in the morning, all but Androo and I are trying to sleep. Kiran curled up on the lounge chair, Ryan wrapped in his cloak as an amorphous black blob on the couch with Nicku being an amorphous white blob nearby. Jeff and Brian are sharing the bed, Jeff already asleep and Brian sleeping like Macleish did: on his back, arms crossed in a blatant refusal to even look like he might be relaxed enough to even to be remotely considered gay.

+

Hahaha, now they've found the fold-out bed and Kiran's playing good host as Ryan and Nick shift to it.. while I type on ranna's blog +~Anteru

+

Christ.. this is really difficult! ^^

+

Kiran looks really, really tired, and at six twenty two, no one has yet made it to sleep. Nick was even forced to take a melatonin.

+

~~~

+

Yeesh. Okie, now, two days later. Kiran did eventually make it to sleep for about an hour and a half before we decided to get donuts and coffee at Safeway. That done (a difficult experience, trust me), we headed back and futzed around before Ryan and Nick left. With them gone, we goofed around a little more while Brian and Jeff slept. I piled on Kiran and annoyed him some while Andrew dozed, maybe. I might've dozed a little too, since Kiran makes a good pillow. I think I made him uncomfortable with my proximity, but I always think that, and he always assures me I don't. I'm not sure I believe him.

Today, I got emissions and registration done on ye oulde pathfinder, then went home for lunch with fatherfigure. After he left, I collected some wild lettuce sap (for relaxation) and tried to figure out some other weeds in our backyard. One is probably bindweed (wild morning glory, not of any interest to me currently) and the other I positively identified as horsemint. I love the stuff, so I collected some new branches and some tops. I put the tops in some wet paper towels in the hopes that horsemint grows from cuttings, and I dried the leaves of the branches. It's not of much spiritual interest, but I love the smell and the taste (though I may be alone in that respect). I'm curious to explore some more aspects of it, but I'm feeling that it's a kind of blank herb

Just lying there, on the sidewalk. Then I looked around, and realized that the only thing within 20 feet that was actually alive was a rosebush. I was extraordinarily confused. I walked around a little, and eventually found a stand of mushrooms, but not the same kind by a long shot. I'm curious as to what the one I found is... I picked it up in a piece of plastic from my dry cleaning and wrapped it up in it in case it's poisonous. Two guesses so far as to the genus: Armillaria and Amanita. It's odd, I'll take a picture sometime. Wondering as to what the two stands I found in the grass are, now. One I'm pretty sure is the poisonous kind that grows in people's yards around here, but I dunno what the other is. Maybe a picture of that, too.

Some herb beer recipes follow; sound interesting?The Nettle Beer made by cottagers is often given to their old folk as a remedy for gouty and rheumatic pains, but apart from this purpose it forms a pleasant drink. It may be made as follows: Take 2 gallons of cold water and a good pailful of washed young Nettle tops, add 3 or 4 large handsful of Dandelion, the same of Clivers (Goosegrass) and 2 OZ. of bruised, whole ginger. Boil gently for 40 minutes, then strain and stir in 2 teacupsful of brown sugar. When lukewarm place on the top a slice of toasted bread, spread with 1 OZ. of compressed yeast, stirred till liquid with a teaspoonful of sugar. Keep it fairly warm for 6 or 7 hours, then remove the scum and stir in a tablespoonful of cream of tartar. Bottle and tie the corks securely. The result is a specially wholesome sort of ginger beer. The juice of 2 lemons may be substituted for the Dandelion and Clivers. Other herbs are often added to Nettles in the making of Herb Beer, such as Burdock, Meadowsweet, Avens Horehound, the combination making a refreshing summer drink. + +Formerly every farmhouse inn had a brewing plant and brewhouse attached to the buildings, and all brewed their own beer till the large breweries were established and supplanted home-brewed beers. Many of these farmhouses then began to brew their own 'stingo' from wayside herbs, employing old rustic recipes that had been carried down from generation to generation. The true value of vegetable bitters and of herb beers have yet to be recognized by all sections of the community. Workmen in puddling furnaces and potteries in the Midland and Northern counties find, however, that a tea made of tonic herbs is cheaper and less intoxicating than ordinary beer and patronize the herb beers freely, Dandelion Stout ranking as one of the favourites. It is also made in Canada. + +Dandelion is a good ingredient in many digestive or diet drinks. A dinner drink may be made as follows: Take 2 OZ. each of dried Dandelion and Nettle herbs and 1 OZ. of Yellow Dock. Boil in 1 gallon of water for 15 minutes and then strain the liquor while hot on to 2 Lb. of sugar, on the top of which is sprinkled 2 tablespoonsful of powdered Ginger. Leave till milk-warm, then add boiled water gone cold to bring the quantity up to 2 gallons. The temperature must then not be above 75 degrees F. Now dissolve 1/2 oz. solid yeast in a little of the liquid and stir into the bulk. Allow to ferment 24 hours, skim and bottle, and it will be ready for use in a day or two. + +A good, pleasant-tasting botanic beer is also made of the Nettle alone. Quantities of the young fresh tops are boiled in a gallon of water, with the juice of two lemons, a teaspoonful of crushed ginger and 1 Lb. of brown sugar. Fresh yeast is floated on toast in the liquor, when cold, to ferment it, and when it is bottled the result is a specially wholesome sort of ginger beer. + +Meadow Sweet was also formerly much in favour. The mash when worked with barm made a pleasant drink, either in the harvest field or at the table. It required little sugar, some even made it without any sugar at all. + +Another favourite brew was that of armsful of Meadowsweet, Yarrow, Dandelion and Nettles, and the mash when 'sweetened with old honey' and well worked with barm, and then bottled in big stoneware bottles, made a drink strong enough to turn even an old toper's head. + +Old honeycomb from the thatch of an ancient cottage, filled with rich and nearly black honey, when boiled into syrup and then strained, was used in the making of herb beer, while the wax was put at the mouths of the hives for the bees. + +Dandelion, Meadowsweet and Agrimony, equal quantities of each, would also be boiled together for 20 minutes (about 2 OZ. each of the dried herbs to 2 gallons of water), then strained and 2 lb. of sugar and 1/2 pint of barm or yeast added. This was bottled after standing in a warm place for 12 hours. This recipe is still in use. + +A Herb Beer that needs no yeast is made from equal quantities of Meadowsweet, Betony, Agrimony and Raspberry leaves (2 OZ. of each) boiled in 2 gallons of water for 15 minutes, strained, then 2 lb. of white sugar added and bottled when nearly cool. + +In some outlying islands of the Hebrides there is still brewed a drinkable beer by making two-thirds Heath tops with one-third of malt. + +HOP BITTERS, as an appetiser, to be taken in tablespoonful doses three times in the day before eating, may be made as follows: Take 2 OZ. of Buchu leaves and 1/2 lb. of Hops. Boil these in 5 quarts of water in an iron vessel for an hour. When lukewarm add essence of Winter green (Pyrola) 2 OZ. and 1 pint alcohol. + +Another way of making Hop Bitters is to take 1/2 oz. Hops, 1 OZ. Angelica Herb and 1 OZ. Holy Thistle. Pour 3 pints of boiling water on them and strain when cold. A wineglassful may be taken four times a day. + +To make a good HOP BEER, put 2 OZ. Hops in 2 quarts of water for 15 minutes. Then strain and dissolve 1 lb. of sugar in the liquor. To this add 4 quarts of cold water and 2 tablespoonsful of fresh barm. Allow to stand for 12 hours in a warm place and it will then be ready for bottling. + +

On the milking of Chaos. +Setting Orange, the 66th day of Bureaucracy in the YOLD 3168

+

Behold, among a field of chaos, the chao that stands out the most is the one +that is not there. + Ovaltine 5:23

+

There is no limit to the milking of chaos among men.

+

Well, there is one, and that one is that no man can milk the mu-Chao. Only +Her Rather-holy Holiness Eris may milk such a chao, for the mu-Chao is the +chao of NO-THING.

+

Each man may milk - no, has to milk - at least one small chao in his life +time; there is no way for human beans to NOT do such a thing. Milking the +mu-Chao isn't possible because simply by their mere existence, men create +chaos among the world, and, as much as they strive against this fact, there's +not a thing they can do about it.

+

Eris just skips over the rule of existence gaily and goes about milking as she +pleases.

+

It is said that once, when a great Discordian was asked if he had seen the +mu-Chao, he thought for a second before replying: "Yes, but not with my own +eyes." The questioner remained unenlightened because he was stoned at the +time, but mostly because he was stupid.

To this day, I'm still not sure what I'm talking about. Thank you

+

Makes one cup. For stronger taste, run through espresso machine twice. (sans honey and horsemint; steep the horsemint and add the honey last - this makes a very strong tea). A very small amount of cinnamon goes well. It's useful for many things, but I have yet to figure out what. Basically, it just makes me feel good. Not terribly tasty. Tastes better on more sugar/honey, but.. well, whatever. I'm hung up on numbers ^^

I have the sheet music for Tallis' Spem in Alium for 40 voices (eight choirs of five parts each), and I was just thinking how cool it'd be to sing that at CSU flashmob style. Have 40 or 80 people milling about during a busy day on the plaza suddenly burst into song starting with a solitary voice. It's handy that way, so you don't have to blow a pitch pipe loudly and attract attention. For directing, a tactus might be handy. A white cloth on the top of my staff would work.

+

This would require much planning. First, getting even 40 people might be tough. Perhaps vague signs in the music building and perhaps on the Plaza and in the student center.. I wouldn't want anyone except the choir and a few others to know where and when. Writing vague things on the ground might help, like 'It's coming... (date)' or 'Hope... You ready? (date)'. Rehearsals would be done within the choirs; I could try and make it to all the different ones, I suppose.

It's a wonderful song to do in flashmob style, 'cause it starts out small and gets fairly big over a span of time, slowly attracting attention. It doesn't even have to be at the Plaza, or even at CSU, or even in Ft. Collins. Then the choir could just disapear into the crowd (hopefull ^^). The only real problem with the song is that it's 10 minutes long c.c Well, whatever. I'll look around, maybe there are some other ones that would work well. Some stuff, just as a note to myself: Socio-Musicological Ramifications, Experiments in Socio-Musicology, have my own group be the first choir. Some notes on the song: 138 bars; the pdfs I have of the sheet music are for individual choirs with the other choirs in piano reduction; each file is 34 pages long; I have midis of all parts and all choirs separately, as well as one of the whole thing with a continuo; given time, which I have, I could Sibelius-ize the song, and distribute cds to all members with stuff on them, like an mp3 of the song, appropriate midis, and sheet music

Stuff!! Yeah. I'll pick up Mikeywolf first, so he should be ready by.. say.. 10:30 (if you're gonna wear the tunic, wear long pants, preferably not blue - I have some you can borrow if you want). After that, I shall steal the Breakfast Fox (cloaaak.. and staaaaff), and proceed to make my way to the Pilot's house. Then.. hope for the best, 'cause I don't really know how to get there other than on I-25, and I don't want to take that ^

In other, more serious news, while looking at insurance stuffs, my mom found that the majority of insurance companies will refuse to insure us. Why? Millie. Met-Life, of all people, whose logo is A FREAKING DOG won't insure us. As it is, State Farm (with whom we're insured) doesn't have such crazy policies, but if Millie bites someone, they'll drop us completely. Grr.. makes me angry. We're thinking of emphasizing Millie's Boston Terrier over the pit-bull (read, omitting the pit-bull part). Mikey was telling me about when he got his puppy, some kid wanting to bring up another puppy from the litter as a fighting dog. Well... FUCK YOU, BUDDY. It's people like you that make my dog illegal! Damnit...

Light of Other Days +Light of Other Days +by Bob Shaw + +Leaving the village behind, we followed the heady sweeps of the road up into a land of slow glass. + +I had never seen one of the farms before and at first found them slightly eerie—an effect heightened by imagination and circumstance. The car's turbine was pulling smoothly and quietly in the damp air so that we seemed to be carried over the convolutions of the road in a kind of supernatural silence. On our right the mountain sifted down into an incredibly perfect valley of timeless pine, and everywhere stood the great frames of slow glass, drinking light. An occasional flash of afternoon sunlight on their wind bracing created an illusion of movement, but in fact the frames were deserted. The rows of windows had been standing on the hillside for years, staring into the valley, and men only cleaned them in the middle of the night when their human presence would not matter to the thirsty glass. + +They were fascinating, but Selina and I didn't mention the windows. I think we hated each other so much we both were reluctant to sully anything new by drawing it into the nexus of our emotions. The holiday, I had begun to realize, was a stupid idea in the first place. I had thought it would cure everything, but, of course, it didn't stop Selina being pregnant and, worst still, it didn't even stop her being angry about being pregnant. + +Rationalizing our dismay over her condition, we had circulated the usual statements to the effect that we would have liked having children—but later on, at the proper time. Selina's pregnancy had cost us her well-paid job and with it the new house we had been negotiating and which was far beyond the reach of my income from poetry. But the real source of our annoyance was that we were face to face with the realization that people who say they want children later always mean they want children never. Our nevers were thrumming with the knowledge that we, who had thought ourselves so unique, had fallen into the same biological trap as every mindless rutting creature which ever existed. + +The road took us along the southern slopes of Ben Cruachan until we began to catch glimpses of the gray Atlantic far ahead. I had just cut our speed to absorb the view better when I noticed the sign spiked to a gatepost. It said: "SLOW GLASS—QUALITY HIGH, PRICES LOW—J. R. HAGAN." On an impulse I stopped the car on the verge, wincing slightly as tough grasses whipped noisily at the bodywork. + +"Why have we stopped?" Selina's neat, smoke-silver head turned in surprise. + +"Look at that sign. Let's go up and see what there is. The stuff might be reasonably priced out here." + +Selina's voice was pitched high with scorn as she refused, but I was too taken with my idea to listen. I had an illogical conviction that doing something extravagant and crazy would set us right again. + +"Come on," I said, "the exercise might do us some good. We've been driving too long anyway." + +She shrugged in a way that hurt me and got out of the car. We walked up a path made of irregular, packed clay steps nosed with short lengths of sapling. The path curved through trees which clothed the edge of the hill and at its end we found a low farmhouse. Beyond the little stone building tall frames of slow glass gazed out towards the voice-stilling sight of Cruachan's ponderous descent towards the waters of Loch Linnhe. Most of the panes were perfectly transparent but a few were dark, like panels of polished ebony. + +As we approached the house through a neat cobbled yard a tall middle-aged man in ash-colored tweeds arose and waved to us. He had been sitting on the low rubble wall which bounded the yard, smoking a pipe and staring towards the house. At the front window of the cottage a young woman in a tangerine dress stood with a small boy in her arms, but she turned uninterestedly and moved out of sight as we drew near. + +"Mr. Hagan?" I guessed. + +"Correct. Come to see some glass, have you? Well, you've come to the right place." Hagan spoke crisply, with traces of the pure highland accent which sounds so much like Irish to the unaccustomed ear. He had one of those calmly dismayed faces one finds on elderly road-menders and philosophers. + +"Yes," I said. "We're on holiday. We saw your sign." + +Selina, who usually has a natural fluency with strangers, said nothing. She was looking towards the now empty window with what I thought was a slightly puzzled expression. + +"Up from London, are you? Well, as I said, you've come to the right place—and at the right time, too. My wife and I don't see many people this early in the season." + +I laughed. "Does that mean we might be able to buy a little glass without mortgaging our home?" + +"Look at that now," Hagan said, smiling helplessly. "I've thrown away any advantage I might have had in the transaction. Rose, that's my wife, says I never learn. Still, let's sit down and talk it over." He pointed at the rubble wall, then glanced doubtfully at Selina's immaculate blue skirt. "Wait till I fetch a rug from the house." Hagan limped quickly into the cottage, closing the door behind him. + +"Perhaps it wasn't such a marvelous idea to come up here," I whispered to Selina, "but you might at least be pleasant to the man. I think I can smell a bargain." + +"Some hope," she said with deliberate coarseness. "Surely even you must have noticed that ancient dress his wife is wearing! He won't give much away to strangers." + +"Was that his wife?" + +"Of course that was his wife." + +"Well, well," I said, surprised. "Anyway, try to be civil with him. I don't want to be embarrassed." + +Selina snorted, but she smiled whitely when Hagan reappeared and I relaxed a little. Strange how a man can love a woman and yet at the same time pray for her to fall under a train. + +Hagan spread a tartan blanket on the wall and we sat down, feeling slightly self-conscious at having been translated from our city-oriented lives into a rural tableau. On the distant slate of the Loch, beyond the watchful frames of slow glass, a slow-moving steamer drew a white line towards the south. The boisterous mountain air seemed almost to invade our lungs, giving us more oxygen than we required. + +"Some of the glass farmers around here," Hagan began, "give strangers, such as yourselves, a sales talk about how beautiful the autumn is in this part of Argyll. Or it might be the spring or the winter. I don't do that—any fool knows that a place which doesn't look right in the summer never looks right. What do you say?" + +I nodded compliantly. + +"I want you just to take a good look out towards Mull, Mr…." + +"Garland." + +"… Garland. That's what you're buying if you buy my glass, and it never looks better than it does at this minute. The glass is in perfect phase, none of it is less than ten years thick—and a four-foot window will cost you two hundred pounds." + +"Two hundred!" Selina was shocked. "That's as much as they charge at the Scenedow shop in Bond Street." + +Hagan smiled patiently, then looked closely at me to see if I knew enough about slow glass to appreciate what he had been saying. His price had been much higher than I had hoped—but ten years thick! The cheap glass one found in places like the Vistaplex and Pane-o-rama stores usually consisted of a quarter of an inch of ordinary glass faced with a veneer of slow glass perhaps only ten or twelve months thick. + +"You don't understand, darling," I said, already determined to buy. "This glass will last ten years and it's in phase." + +"Doesn't that only mean it keeps time?" + +Hagan smiled at her again, realizing he had no further necessity to bother with me. "Only, you say! Pardon me, Mrs. Garland, but you don't seem to appreciate the miracle, the genuine honest-to-goodness miracle, of engineering precision needed to produce a piece of glass in phase. When I say the glass is ten years thick it means it takes light ten years to pass through it. In effect, each one of those panes is ten light-years thick—more than twice the distance to the nearest star—so a variation in actual thickness of only a millionth of an inch would …" + +He stopped talking for a moment and sat quietly looking towards the house. I turned my head from the view of the Loch and saw the young woman standing at the window again. Hagan's eyes were filled with a kind of greedy reverence which made me feel uncomfortable and at the same time convinced me Selina had been wrong. In my experience husbands never looked at wives that way—at least, not at their own. + +The girl remained in view for a few seconds, dress glowing warmly, then moved back into the room. Suddenly I received a distinct, though inexplicable, impression she was blind. My feeling was that Selina and I were perhaps blundering through an emotional interplay as violent as our own. + +"I'm sorry," Hagan continued; "I thought Rose was going to call me for something. Now, where was I, Mrs. Garland? Ten light-years compressed into a quarter of an inch means …" + + +· · · · · + + +I ceased to listen, partly because I was already sold, partly because I had heard the story of slow glass many times before and had never yet understood the principles involved. An acquaintance with scientific training had once tried to be helpful by telling me to visualize a pane of slow glass as a hologram which did not need coherent light from a laser for the reconstitution of its visual information, and in which every photon of ordinary light passed through a spiral tunnel coiled outside the radius of capture of each atom in the glass. This gem of, to me, incomprehensibility not only told me nothing, it convinced me once again that a mind as non-technical as mine should concern itself less with causes than effects. + +The most important effect, in the eyes of the average individual, was that light took a long time to pass through a sheet of slow glass. A new piece was always jet black because nothing had yet come through, but one could stand the glass beside, say, a woodland lake until the scene emerged, perhaps a year later. If the glass was then removed and installed in a dismal city flat, the flat would—for that year—appear to overlook the woodland lake. During the year it wouldn't be merely a very realistic but still picture—the water would ripple in sunlight, silent animals would come to drink, birds would cross the sky, night would follow day, season would follow season. Until one day, a year later, the beauty held in the subatomic pipelines would be exhausted and the familiar gray cityscape would reappear. + +Apart from its stupendous novelty value, the commercial success of slow glass was founded on the fact that having a scenedow was the exact emotional equivalent of owning land. The meanest cave dweller could look out on misty parks—and who was to say they weren't his? A man who really owns tailored gardens and estates doesn't spend his time proving his ownership by crawling on his ground, feeling, smelling, tasting it. All he receives from the land are light patterns, and with scenedows those patterns could be taken into coal mines, submarines, prison cells. + +On several occasions I have tried to write short pieces about the enchanted crystal but, to me, the theme is so ineffably poetic as to be, paradoxically, beyond the reach of poetry—mine, at any rate. Besides, the best songs and verse had already been written, with prescient inspiration, by men who had died long before slow glass was discovered. I had no hope of equaling, for example, Moore with his: + + Oft in the stilly night, + Ere slumber's chain has bound me, + Fond Memory brings the light + Of other days around me … + +It took only a few years for slow glass to develop from a scientific curiosity to a sizable industry. And much to the astonishment of we poets—those of us who remain convinced that beauty lives though lilies die—the trappings of that industry were no different from those of any other. There were good scenedows which cost a lot of money, and there were inferior scenedows which cost rather less. The thickness, measured in years, was an important factor in the cost but there was also the question of actual thickness, or phase. + +Even with the most sophisticated engineering techniques available thickness control was something of a hit-and-miss affair. A coarse discrepancy could mean that a pane intended to be five years thick might be five and a half, so that light which entered in summer emerged in winter; a fine discrepancy could mean that noon sunshine emerged at midnight. These incompatibilities had their peculiar charm—many night workers, for example, liked having their own private time zones—but, in general, it cost more to buy scenedows which kept closely in step with real time. + +Selina still looked unconvinced when Hagan had finished speaking. She shook her head almost imperceptibly and I knew he had been using the wrong approach. Quite suddenly the pewter helmet of her hair was disturbed by a cool gust of wind, and huge clean tumbling drops of rain began to spang round us from an almost cloudless sky. + +"I'll give you a check now," I said abruptly, and saw Selina's green eyes triangulate angrily on my face. "You can arrange delivery?" + +"Aye, delivery's no problem," Hagan said, getting to his feet. "But wouldn't you rather take the glass with you?" + +"Well, yes—if you don't mind." I was shamed by his readiness to trust my scrip. + +"I'll unclip a pane for you. Wait here. It won't take long to slip it into a carrying frame." Hagan limped down the slope towards the seriate windows, through some of which the view towards Linnhe was sunny, while others were cloudy and a few pure black. + +Selina drew the collar of her blouse closed at her throat. "The least he could have done was invite us inside. There can't be so many fools passing through that he can afford to neglect them." + +I tried to ignore the insult and concentrated on writing the check. One of the outsize drops broke across my knuckles, splattering the pink paper. + +"All right," I said, "let's move in under the eaves till he gets back." You worm, I thought as I felt the whole thing go completely wrong. I just had to be a fool to marry you. A prize fool, a fool's fool—and now that you've trapped part of me inside you I'll never ever, never ever, never ever get away. + +Feeling my stomach clench itself painfully, I ran behind Selina to the side of the cottage. Beyond the window the neat living room, with its coal fire, was empty but the child's toys were scattered on the floor. Alphabet blocks and a wheelbarrow the exact color of freshly pared carrots. As I stared in, the boy came running from the other room and began kicking the blocks. He didn't notice me. A few moments later the young woman entered the room and lifted him, laughing easily and wholeheartedly as she swung the boy under her arm. She came to the window as she had done earlier. I smiled self-consciously, but neither she nor the child responded. + +My forehead prickled icily. Could they both be blind? I sidled away. + +Selina gave a little scream and I spun towards her. + +"The rug!" she said. "It's getting soaked." + +She ran across the yard in the rain, snatched the reddish square from the dappling wall and ran back, towards the cottage door. Something heaved convulsively in my subconscious. + +"Selina," I shouted. "Don't open it!" + +But I was too late. She had pushed open the latched wooden door and was standing, hand over mouth, looking into the cottage. I moved close to her and took the rug from her unresisting fingers. + +As I was closing the door I let my eyes traverse the cottage's interior. The neat living room in which I had just seen the woman and child was, in reality, a sickening clutter of shabby furniture, old newspapers, cast-off clothing and smeared dishes. It was damp, stinking and utterly deserted. The only object I recognized from my view through the window was the little wheelbarrow, paintless and broken. + +I latched the door firmly and ordered myself to forget what I had seen. Some men who live alone are good housekeepers; others just don't know how. + +Selina's face was white. "I don't understand. I don't understand it." + +"Slow glass works both ways," I said gently. "Light passes out of a house, as well as in." + +"You mean …?" + +"I don't know. It isn't our business. Now steady up—Hagan's coming back with our glass." The churning in my stomach was beginning to subside. + +Hagan came into the yard carrying an oblong, plastic-covered frame. I held the check out to him, but he was staring at Selina's face. He seemed to know immediately that our uncomprehending fingers had rummaged through his soul. Selina avoided his gaze. She was old and ill-looking, and her eyes stared determinedly towards the nearing horizon. + +"I'll take the rug from you, Mr. Garland," Hagan finally said. "You shouldn't have troubled yourself over it." + +"No trouble. Here's the check." + +"Thank you." He was still looking at Selina with a strange kind of supplication. "It's been a pleasure to do business with you." + +"The pleasure was mine," I said with equal, senseless formality. I picked up the heavy frame and guided Selina towards the path which led to the road. Just as we reached the head of the now slippery steps Hagan spoke again. + +"Mr. Garland!" + +I turned unwillingly. + +"It wasn't my fault," he said steadily. "A hit-and-run driver got them both, down on the Oban road six years ago. My boy was only seven when it happened. I'm entitled to keep something." + +I nodded wordlessly and moved down the path, holding my wife close to me, treasuring the feel of her arms locked around me. At the bend I looked back through the rain and saw Hagan sitting with squared shoulders on the wall where we had first seen him. + +He was looking at the house, but I was unable to tell if there was anyone at the window. + +The End + +

Zk | Time for fasting!

I slept 12 hours today, after sleeping a bunch the night before ('night' here is a relative term, since the day was rather long), but my mom finally brought out into the open a point I've been mulling over for a while: my body's rebounding after all of the caffeine I have during the day in multiple forms (tea, chai, espresso). Well.. that's kinda vague, and missing the point a bit, but she's right, I do need a bit of ground-state training.

+

So here's my idea. Three days of fasting starting tomorrow. Fasting from caffeine, from food, from the computer (go on, try and convince me that boundless information is conducive to a ground-state ^^), from everything except, you know, water. And air. And living. You get the point. I need to study on it a little, first, though. I'm wondering if it'd be all that great to just go straight to only water. Should I keep taking my Emer'gen-C? Or maybe just for the first and third days? Or not even that, but juice instead? I'm just hoping I can find some decent information online.

+

Online. Well, whatever this fast turns out to be, I'll probably, at the very least, take a break from caffeine and the computer. Also, I'll try and get a regular sleep schedule going without melatonin.

+

Any input would be handy. Preferably before I start. :o)

+

Edit: I need a bit to prepare, looking back on what I've eaten recently, so I won't be starting until Saturday

Yes, kids, going without food will indeed make you hungry. I find myself craving salt, mostly, so I've been making 'virgin Bloody Marys' to get at that. I'm not as hungry as I think I should be, though, so I'm wondering at my choices of juice. Are they too thick, maybe? Oh well. It's still less then food.

I broke my fast. Before I realized what I was doing, I'd eaten a few olives.. Oh well, I guess I could keep going, but, while I'm not really hungry, I miss the solace and wondrousness of food. I might just go ahead and end the fast early, since I got at least 30 hours out of it. And juice. I got juice.

Once upon a time, when the Young Wizards series was just getting started and the books were still at Delacorte, I did a story called "Uptown Local" for a Dell-published anthology of teen fiction called Sixteen. (This is the story with the first line, "My father had the flu that week, so I was the one who had to go down to the subway and feed the unicorns.") The anthology did very well, and various of its stories, including mine, were selected for publication in numerous US textbooks.

+

Something interesting happened at that point. One of the young characters tells the other that a parent is concerned about the way they've been behaving, and suspects that one or both of them might be on drugs. The other character, knowing that both of them (but especially the first one) are completely innocent of this kind of thing, snorts and says, "You kidding? You wouldn't know which side of your nose to put the marijuana up." Seems positive enough, huh? Two "clean" kids dealing realistically with fallout from a fantastic situation. Well, imagine my bemusement when the first textbook publisher to want to use the story demanded that the drugs reference be excised.

+

I remember being annoyed at the time, but thinking that the issue wasn't worth making a big deal over; I chopped the line and let the story go through otherwise unchanged. Now I'm beginning to wish I'd dug in my heels, for I find I was at the thin edge of a problem which has become much, much worse.

+

The Language Police goes into truly scary detail about how pressure groups from both the right and the left are insisting that any content that might possibly upset or challenge any student anywhere should be removed from their textbooks. A quote from the Washington Post review:

+
So much for the old truism that no maiden was ever ravished by a book. The ideologues of right and left have, apparently, bottomless faith in the power of the written word to shape not just the minds of the young but to determine the course of their lives. They believe that to describe something is to endorse it, so they insist that what they do not endorse cannot be described. The spineless textbook publishers and testing companies capitulate with not a peep of protest, indeed with a smile, for the paycheck is very large. "What's left," [author Diane] Ravitch asks, "after the language police and the thought police from the left and right have done their work?" Her answer deserves to be quoted at length:
+
+"Stories that have no geographical location. . . . Stories in which all conflicts are insignificant. Stories in which men are fearful and women are brave. Stories in which older people are never ill. Stories in which children are obedient, never disrespectful, never get into dangerous situations, never confront problems that cannot be easily solved. Stories in which blind people and people with physical disabilities need no assistance from anyone because their handicaps are not handicaps. Stories in which fantasy and magic are banned. Stories about the past in which historical accuracy is ignored. Stories about science that leave out any reference to evolution or prehistoric times. Stories in which everyone is happy almost all the time."
+
+In a word: Fantasyland, a place so wildly disconnected from reality that it makes Walt Disney's Magic Kingdom seem by contrast a painting by Pieter Bruegel or Edvard Munch.
+
+ + +

Grrrrrr.

+

No more excisions. One disservice to my younger readers, however minor, has been enough. I will never cave again

Anyway, yeah. I've been 'working' on this same stupid assignment for a long, long time now, and I've gotten.. one annotation, and one underline. I think I might just do it tomorrow, since I don't have to post it. In the mean while, I've been being foxish on FM, discussing stuff with Brandon, and chatting with someone I met earlier at SOGLBT. +so-glibut, so-gulb't, so-gullybutt... +Amused? +Quite. Sleepy too. +Me too. And horny, but ANYWAY! SOGLBT. Yes. I went. We played the Ft. Collins version of All My Neighbors ("I love my neighbors, but I especially love my neighbors who..."). It was.. not quite what I expected, having gone to OASOS for four years. The 'keep it clean' type rules were a bit of a shock. I would've thought it would be the other way around: OASOS would be cleaner than SOGLBT, but oh well. It wasn't a very involving group, at least not this week. Announcements, then All My Neighbors, but after that, I went to hang out with some really neat folks. Of note were Andy, a history nerd who's quite neat, and Shyan (sounds like Shawn, but I think that's how he spelled it), who thinks he might be able to get me a work-study in a biochem lab (EXCITING). There was a rather quiet kid at the group that reminded me a little of Shan, and I was, of course, automatically drawn to him.. +You've gotta work on this fixation thing +Pish and tosh. We were together for two years, I've known him for four. Needless to say, He's played a rather big part in my life. Besides, I'm fairly sure it'll pass. Back to SOGLBT, I was kinda hoping to see Terb, but now that he's much closer, it wouldn't be that hard to just.. hang out sometime. Or whatever ^^ So, yeah, getting into the gay swing of things on campus. +Gay gay gay gay gay... +Are you drunk? +Not rearry giggle +Hmf. Well, the only other thing I really feel like reporting is that there was this street-preacher on campus today who was really fascinating. There were dialogues between him and the crowd. For a while, things were going really well as an argument, but he ended up just pissing people off or making them laugh, so he brought up this woman who lived a life of submission to her husband under the lord and had seven children. I suspected she was his mistress. +For some unknown reason, that's intensely hilarous, but I'm not laughing. +You know, I think it's time for sleep..

Teh Story: +Ryan is sleeping over because his roommate and his girlfriend are drunk and um.. awkward handmotions together? Anyway, so he was going to sleep on the floor, but decided that was uncomfortable so he moved onto the bed and we worked it so that we're sleeping head to toe. Now, dorm beds are California Twins, which means they're really long and narrow, so we ended up touching a little even though we were turned away from each other. This got me thinking, 'Hey, I bet that's his butt I feel so warm against mine, it's almost like..' and before I could finish the thought, Ryan pipes up - nay, shrieks gleefully, "Buttsex!"

Revolutionary Spirit @ DCPA: Boettcher Concert Hall - Orchestra2:row O:seats 28 & 29 - Sunday September 22, 2002 at 2:30pm +I only really went for the Shosty. I'm addicted. Fifth Symphony especially. Oh well. I got to see my first bit of Daugherty

+

We need a word for him: antimelody (n) amelodic, amelodious (adj) a theme lacking in melody in the common sense. Daugherty's music is, as described by my mom, a mish-mash of small themes, mostly harmonic, that sound alright individually, but don't quite fit together as a whole. His Phillidelphia Stories may have accurately described the city, but I've never been there, and after hearing such a chaotic piece, I'm not entirely sure that I want to. He has potential, though. A lot of the themes he explores are kinda catchy and I've caught myself whistling them once or twice.

+

The Beethoven was good. His fourth piano cto., performed by a tall pianist that looked like the director to the Rolling Requiem in Boulder. He said that the critics would say that he was better at playing the piano than speaking in front of the audience. He was better at playing the piano than speaking in front of the audience.

+

The Shosty was great, of course, being his fifth. I like the first and second movements especially, even though CSO played them kinda slow. Still well worth going.

+

On the ride home, we read about another show that we might want to go to...

+

The Big Bang @ DCPA: Boettcher Concert Hall - Orcestra2:row P:seats 44 & 45 - Friday November 15, 2002 at 7:30pm

+

With large screens at three points along the perimeter of the cylindrical hall showing scenes of shuttle launches and various 3d animations of space-stuff, the concert started out with a space-music medley. Beginning with Also Sprach Zarathustra and moving right into various themes from The Planets (Alsop, who made a sneaky entrance, is directing The Planets this weekend), for a satisfying and grand peice. The movie clips were kinda distracting, but it was still good.

+

After announcing that the concert was, from that point on, going to be recorded, Mrs. Alsop quieted down to let us hear an eerie noise that, at first, sounded like a recording from a horror movie. After a while of looking around, Evelyn Glennie appeared behind us and stole down the aisle with an odd contraption that looked to be a gourd with thick piano wires sticking vertically from the wider part towards the smaller handle. She was playing it with a violin bow that had a cow bell attached to the end. After she made her way to the stage, she proceeded to introduce the piece with all sorts of oddball percussion instruments including a hand-wound air-raid siren, a steel drum upsidedown with seashells in it, and a handheld radio with which she produced feedback while messing with the squelch.

+

It was all downhill from there. The Daugherty really started, with it's fractured antimelodies and "blowing strings" (still not sure what that is). Most of the rest of the concert was spend watching Glennie play around with percussion. She bowed everything from cymbols to her vibrophone, and used a lot of windchimes. For the second half/last third, she had a solo on an eclectic drum set that was mostly bongoes, cowbells, cymbols, buckets, and woodblocks. That was pretty neat. The symphony (The "UFO" Symphony) ended with her on the bongoes playing along with the strings playing a nice decending melody (he got it together near the end) that was very dramatic and a fairly good ending to such a piece.

+

Both Phillidelphia Stories and the UFO Symphony are coming out on CD (Naxos) soon, and I'm thinking of buying it to scare the babylonia admins with, and to show Andrew for the percussion side

In 1998, Robert Furchgott, Louis ignarro, and Ferid Murad won the Nobel prize in Physiology/Medicine for signaling in the endothelium. Robert Furchgott tested drugs originally on rabbit aortas. He received contradictory results, thus finding that an intact endothelium is was needed. He came up with the concept of the EDRF, the Endothelium Derived Relaxing Factor. Louis Ignarro tested hemoglobin exposure to pre-contracted bovine arteries, finding that the EDRF was Nitric Oxide. Ferid Murad found that Nitric Oxide was the signaling molecule for myosinic relaxation and proved that to be true.

+
Endothelial cells are squamous cells acting as a barrier in the in the blood vessels between blood-flow and the smooth muscle tissue.  Nitric Oxide can induce contraction in these cells.  Signaling by means of a gas was a new concept in biology.  The significance of this is that Nitroglycerine, prescribed for heart troubles can reduce pain due to angina pectoris by increasing blood flow.  It can also reduce dangerously high blood pressure in the lungs of infants, and may help with tumor reduction by inducing apoptosis.  NO was also crucial in the development of Viagra, as well as the diagnosing of asthma, colitis, and other diseases

After every flight, pilots fill out a form called a gripe sheet, which +conveys to the mechanics problems encountered with the aircraft during +the flight that need repair or correction. The mechanics read and +correct the problem, and then respond in writing on the lower half of +the form what remedial action was taken, and the pilot reviews the +gripe sheets before the next flight. Never let it be said that ground +crews and engineers lack a sense of humor. Here are some actual logged +maintenance complaints and +problems as submitted by Qantas pilots and the solution recorded by +maintenance engineers. By the way, Qantas is the only major airline +that has never had an accident.

I just realized that I spent the past five hours in a conversation. I started out sitting on the floor in the hall near someone's door with my RA and a few others from my hall talking about the debate. After that, though, Tony, Jon, Lon's roommate, and I went back to my room to have one of THE BEST discussions I've had. It revolved mostly around religion with a little bit about drugs in there. I love talks like that and fear that I don't have enough of them. It's a shame they're so rare, but that just makes them all the more precious. Oh well, I guess it's not often you get to rave about how good a discussion was. Anyway, read a good deal more of the bible tonight: up to Exodus 21, from having stopped at Genesis 27. Now, I think I'll make some coffee or tea and walk around.

Upon reading certain things, upon hearing certain songs, upon seeing certain people, upon smelling certain scents, upon tasting certain foods, upon feeling certain feelings and upon losing myself, it flows, the light, in through the head, out through the heart, washes over all, and, being lost in it, have found myself without. +How poetic. +These are the white things. Cold, bright, burning, white.

+

Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani.

+

But the light isn't as it used to be. It was a thing to light up a day, a thing to light up me, filling completely. Now a simple thread flows from head to heart, and the light doesn't stray from the path of least resistance. +Love follows not the law of Ohm

+

Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani.

+

Light can be many things, but here, now, it means love - all four loves - and it's a strange feeling to have been so full of it for so long, then to suddenly be nearly without. +Full of what? Full of shit? How pathetic, how trite. +Having deified love for several years, it's a shock to my faith to have it disappear, even if it only turns out to be temporary. +Faith? You're faithful? How have you EVER been faithful to love?

Roommate blew out the power for the hall again. Well.. he may not have, but he did last time, so I'm blaming him. Also, the shower I had was cold. Whatever. Grrgrrgrr.

I'm confused as to what to do about boys. ΔΛΦ might help with that, if only as a way to meet similar people, though that's still a ways off (I don't think pledges are allowed to sleep with pledges). Most of what I'm confused about is Shan. I think I still like him, but I'm not sure. Most of the time I think about him, I think of him as more than a friend, but a lot of the times when I talk to him, I think of him mostly as just a friend. Quite confusing, since the contrast seems rather large. Whatever, though. I still think about Kory and Jerred that way, too, on occasion.

My ally has forsaken me - buzzed off, taken leave, left me for a better man.

A talk with Whitcomb + +
+ +

the purpose of those memes is to cave in to peer pressure and tell people who they were o.o + I'll get to that eventually. + ^^ + No, you're not the moodswings one. + And I just gave away, yes, you are on there. + Hee. + i'm posting one soon + Some don't matter to you.  The Arf one is my stalker, who follows me around campus like a puppy.  The oppressed one is this girl I'm friends with who is angry and hates everyone.  The one about straight boys is a straight boy I had a crush on.  The weird me out one is some zoophile friend. + That should narrow it some. +* Whitcomb nods. I... assumed, or hoped, I wasn't the straight one. + Hehe + I'm getting the feeling I'm one of the "we don't talk" ones, right? + Well, moodswings is Terberlo. + Oh, I suck at this. +* Whitcomb muahaha! + These things make me OCD as hell + You're the second one.  We seem to be different from each other in strategic ways that would, I think, make a relationship between us rather.. messy. + Oh. + Hahaha. + We both need 'balancer' mates. + Yeah. + The two of us together would be "I'M SAD!" "I'M ANGRY!" "GYAAAAAARGH!" + Or we'd be excelent up until even a slightly destructive mood came over both of us at the same time, and we'd go spiralling out of control. + You get those too? + I mean, I knew you did, but often enough to... + Wait, chaos, Eris, so on. + HEh + Of course you do. + Yeah, they happen.  Even if only for a few seconds, and I never do anything, it's still there. + Yeah, Shiva is to me what Eris is to you.  + Is or was. + Hmm.. dunno if any of the others are pertinent.  Shan is 'I knew you too well'... + We really are a lot alike in odd ways. o.o + How so? + Um, just the... Uh... mythology, science, latin, shiny things, chaos, getting way too worked up about things, so on. + Oddly, the one I was was one I wouldn't have thought. + Heh, I tried to be kinda.. roundabout?  Something. + I tried to think of something I wouldn't normally think of for the person, but was still true. + Except for Rikoshi.  He's the first. + God, I love Rikky. + He's so oblivious sometimes. + Hee. + We used to be kind of like you and he are now, but then I admitted one night while drunk that I had a huge crush on him and things are different now. + Did  that change things on his side, or your side? Or both..? + I think both, or maybe just his, or maybe just mine.  In other words, I don't know. + I'm just paranoid.  Maybe they're still the same. + Oh. + That's why I'm afraid to tell people I like them. + Or some people. + I tell everyone.  It has thus far proved a bad idea. + It always seems like a good idea right up until you actually do it. + The only time it ever worked out well in any way was - oh em teh gee - Shanerak. + But I guilt-tripped him into the relationship ^^ + Hahahah + I hate to sound like I'm obsessing, I don't feel like I am o.O + You loved him + It doesn't go away, I guess. + I fear. + The sad thing about 'balancers' is that I love them the most and yet get bored.  + Hehe + So, er, how did you mean get together? + What I meant was that, I really was obsessing over him a few days ago, but ever since I saw that he really was kinda of a dick, it's a whole lot easier not to think about him. + Oh. + I was with this guy Merlin because he typefucked me once and liked it. + He was with this guy.. um.. fuck.  F-something. + Anyway, I had a crush on him and told him, and it was all cute for a day or too, but then I got horribly depressed 'cause things weren't all working out for me. + After about a week, I dumped Merlin and he dumped wotsisface, and I thought thigns were going to turn around. + Until he got together with Merlin ^^ + Uh + I, uh + Yeah o.o + I misread, didn't I. + Well, there's the story. + Kindayeah.  o.o + But yeah, I just saw that :o) + What do you mean, then? + + haha + Er, just what you meant by 'get together' re: me + Not trying to sound weird, because I think we've both kind of... moved apart, just curious as to that because I am pathetic + You mean, like the statement about you? + Yuh + I don't know,  I guess I meant it like it sounds, like mates and stuff.  I was just thinking about just how we're different. + 'cause we were talking right before I wrote that. + Earlier today. + Oh, OK ^_^ + Sorry, I'm a sap + How so? + Because I was hoping that was what you meant, because I'm neeeeeedy + Hehe, well, yeah. :o) + I make a point to myself about trying to focus on everybody a lot of times, but I always end up focusing on relationships with just one person.  Dangers, 'cause I flit around so much. + Er.. dangerous. + Same.  I love people, but I get bored so easily.  It's fucking heartbreaking. + Maybe it's not that we're too different, maybe we're just the same in the wrong sorts of ways. + Yeah.  That's my thought. + I think we'd probably spend a lot of time staring at each other silently and not saying anything. + And being redundant.  GG. + Plus, I find the incidental shit about you a lot more interesting than you do, probably. + Hmm?  Like what? + I'd like a relationship where I could be silent with someone and not have it be weird.  I could be silent around Shan last time I visited, but that's because he spent a lot of time talking in #sanefurs :o) + Ick. + It was like visiting Wish and Nitro, then staying in Carlsbad for a few extra days. + I've gotten to the point where if someone ignores me for the computer I just give 'em the "fuck off" attitude. + :/ + Heh. + My mom did that shit all the time, I'd try to talk to her when something really irrelevant was on TV and she'd shush me. + Ur, yeah. + I'm like, "Uh, yeah, sorry for trying to patch up our strained communication, I'll leave now" + Hehehe + I did that to my mom lots, but every time she'd come home, I'd start feeling bad. + Um, incidental, like I would make far too much of your racial heritage and your dad's drug use and your mom's hippyism and... I don't know. + Yeah, I think after I told you all the stores I could remember, I'd get a little bored by it. :o) +* Whitcomb nods. Same here. I didn't really understand until recently how recounting your life history gets annoying after a while. + Because, much to my surprise, I am not the most interesting person in the world.  <:) + Hee. + OK, so I can ask you something utterly retarded and you not take offense? + I occasionally find myself talking about me, realize I'm boring as fuck, and then shut up.  Makes the middle of the conversation weird. + Go ahead., + Hahaha. + OK, well, because you're the, er... blackest person I am this close to, would you say that that small portion of your genetic makeup has affected your life at all? + Unless it has anything to do with my penis size, no.  African American Student Services likes to bug me about it, but really, I'm pretty damn white.  All of the other parts of me are the tight-ass white type, so I think it might cancel out anything black about me. +* Whitcomb nods. + Race is such a weird thing, that you just... don't talk about. + I know. c.c + I used to bug all of my 'ethnic' friends about it until I realized that if they were my friends then they were probably not the type to give a shit about race. + I was brought up in exceedingly white environments, so coming to college with a whole lot of black people was kinda.. strange.  Made me feel awkward and socially inept around them. + Hey, will you be on later? + Yep + We should talk more then, 'cause this is cool.  Gotta go to some stupid frat meeting now.</whitcomb

First Level of Hell - Limbo

+

Charon ushers you across the river Acheron, and you find yourself upon the brink of grief's abysmal valley. You are in Limbo, a place of sorrow without torment. You encounter a seven-walled castle, and within those walls you find rolling fresh meadows illuminated by the light of reason, whereabout many shades dwell. These are the virtuous pagans, the great philosophers and authors, unbaptised children, and others unfit to enter the kingdom of heaven. You share company with Caesar, Homer, Virgil, Socrates, and Aristotle. There is no punishment here, and the atmosphere is peaceful, yet sad.

+

The Dante's Inferno Test has sent you to the First Level of Hell - Limbo!
Here is how you matched up against all the levels:
LevelScore
Purgatory (Repenting Believers)High
Level 1 - Limbo (Virtuous Non-Believers)Very High
Level 2 (Lustful)High
Level 3 (Gluttonous)Very Low
Level 4 (Prodigal and Avaricious)Very Low
Level 5 (Wrathful and Gloomy)Low
Level 6 - The City of Dis (Heretics)Very Low
Level 7 (Violent)High
Level 8- the Malebolge (Fraudulent, Malicious, Panderers)High
Level 9 - Cocytus (Treacherous)Low

Take the Dante's Inferno Hell Test

This is what I get for being wrapped up in sorrow (not the same as being sorrowful)

Zk | The Deal - a draft of an open letter;

+
+
+

Comments appreciated, I suppose, though keep in mind I haven't slept yet. This comes from the current debate on whether implanted chips containing our medical data are an invasion of privacy. What I mean to express is that I don't care so much about the privacy issue, but more about why I feel that I can't trust America with this information.

+

Dear America,

+

America, we had a deal. This deal had been worked over and hammered out more than two hundred years ago. A deal that would ensure my safety as well as guarantee my loyalty and my works to you. And for this, I would entrust to you a few of my rights to help contribute to the idea of a country built upon freedom, giving me laws as guidelines to what's generally acceptable to keep this dream going.

+

America, the older I get and the more experience I have in dealing with your laws and your people, the more and more often I see this deal being broken. People give you their rights to hold dear - for what is more dear to us than our rights - and often you ask for more rights, and ever more until you work to restrict rights in the very document that guarantees them: the Constitution. Now, beyond even rights, you ask to infringe upon something even more fundamental to people - their privacy.

+

America, I don't want this deal to break. I want to trust you, and continue to trust you if you will trust me, and most of all, I want to feel like I can give you anything you ask of me without the fear of being taken advantage of. So that's what I'll do. I've give you all that you ask of me, I promise, but in exchange, I expect that you'll respect our deal. The deal between you and me to understand that I am entrusting a few of my rights as well as my loyalty and works to ensure my safety. And my freedom.

+

Thank you, America,

+

Matt Scot

Zk | The tl;dr on #sanefurs

+
+
+

There's an interesting dynamic that I see in #sanefurs for one major reason: some people in the channel are about satire, and some people are about cynicism, and sometimes the cynics take their view so far that they come off as rather angry at pretty much everything, whereas the satirists seem able to realize that although they may be mocking furry, they still are furs of a sort. So, when two satirists do something out of their cynical character, the cynics tend to react immediately in a strong and generally negative manner ('What is this faggotry' or 'loltypefuckery'). Now, I've only been in the channel for a few weeks at most, and of course I can only think about what I've seen in that short of time, so my opinion on this could be horribly skewed. I'm all about getting corrected, so go ahead if I'm completely wrong

I fucked up on a test in chemistry, and didn't do so well on the one before, and since there are only four tests, I'm not going to be able to get higher than a C in the class, which means I'll have to drop out of school. I could live at my mom's and maybe eventually make enough to rent a room elsewhere since I'll have to commute to work pretty damn far and gas and all.

Louis shouts "I love the sight of corpses swingin' in the mornin'."
+(Public-shout)
+Allistar proceeds to the decontaminating room after coming into
+contact with a Tatyana.
+Vyvyan says, "Ask what brand. ;} There's lots of blacks - but they
+almost never look the same."
+Ranna giggles
+Satanica's mom just walked in and shoved a rug to my nose that my
+cat peed on and said, "This is why I don't want her in at night." o.o
+Louis says, "Harharhar."
+Vyvyan laughs.
+Vyvyan says, "Oh that sucks."
+Zorin mewmewmews, "She'd rather the cat possibly get killed outside?"
+Satanica went to the 1999 and 2000 Havarah camping trips, "I
+guess so."
+Vyvyan sorries for laughing at your pain, but it reminds her of
+her own. ;}
+Satanica is a star in the dope show, "We're keeping her in tomorrow
+obviously."
+Louis says, "You must keep the cat in on Halloween."
+Satanica dreams about sex all day, "Halloween, black cats..bad."
+iLeah red elvises, "We don't let the cat out."
+Yoshi purrs, "The cat will vanish."
+Vyvyan just CACKLES at everyones pain. HAH!
+Zorin mrrowrps, "Did the cat just start doing this recently?"
+Allistar's cat is already Satan.
+Zorin purrs, "If it did, it could be sick.."
+Satanica shavos, "No."
+iLeah burns through the witches, "We live on a major thoroughfare,
+next to a canyon full of coyotes, and giant raccoons prowl the
+streets."
+Satanica fragiles, "She's always done that."
+iLeah has a heart of glass, "You don't see many outside cats
+around. c.c"
+Satanica reggies, "My brother and I sneak her in at night."
+Yoshi purrs, "Don't you have a litterbox inside?"
+Allistar worship satanicas, "Satanica: Bladder infection."
+The Great Pumpkin opens a hidden hatch buried in the grass and
+climbs down into the Underground. The hatch snicks shut behind The
+Great Pumpkin.
+Yoshi purrs, "Or does she not like them...?"
+Allistar satanicas, "How old is the cat, Satanica?"
+Louis says, "My cat died of a bizarre liver disease."
+Satanica waits and bleeds, "Uhh.."
+Artemis emerges from a cloud of gently swirling, multicolored fluffs.
+Ranna's cat is...yeah...
+Artemis yawns loudly
+Allistar had a cat once that peed alot inside the house because it
+was old..
+Satanica dreams, "I don't wanna talk about my cat. I just wanted
+to share the rug thing. ;>"
+Allistar didos, "Like.. 16 years old."
+Allistar palmpilots, "at least 16 years."
+Satanica closer to gods, "Because I thought it was funny."
+Ranna "there's something not quite right about my cat...
+Zorin miaows, "Uhh, gotta go. BBL."
+Zorin jumps into Zorin's fur and disappears!
+Zorin's Tail swishes out after him.
+Allistar fluffmuck.orgs, "My current cat actually runs AFTER a
+border collie."
+Louis says, "iLeah, I want to live in a neighborhood with giant
+raccoons prowling the streets."
+Allistar fluffmuck.orgs, "Louis: Where's a pic of your BC?"
+Louis says, "I don't even post pics of me."
+Vyvyan's cats are dead. Sunshine, Stimpy, Josaphine, Rosaphine,
+Blackie, Mo, Greenday, and China. 'yotes got 'em, as did
+cars. Rosaphine broke her leg tho', somehow. I think a 'yote did
+it but she got away.
+Nekura says, ".."
+Nekura coughs
+Vyvyan grins, "China wasn't spayed. ;}"
+Louis says, "Nekura is back."
+Nekura hops in and out.
+Satanica likes pain!, "Greenday..aww."
+Nekura was playing on Nightmare mud
+Louis says, "Ew.. MUDs."
+Artemis gasp
+Louis says, "Now I must kill you, Nekura."
+Satanica!!
+Nekura O.O
+Les shouts "OH MY GOD!  You killed MILES!!! ......YAY!!"
+(Public-shout)
+Vyvyan nods. "My sister used to LOVE Greenday. Sun all the songs,
+wore the shirts, cut her hair like a boy, tore her jeans, wore two
+shoes that didn't match, and she was like, seven. But now she's a
+stupid tenniboper."
+Nekura pounces Louis!
+Nekura clings to Louis' skull
+Vyvyan says, "Er, sung."
+Ranna has disconnected.
+Nekura screams like a woman
+Ranna has connected.
+Allistar did? Allistar did!  (Public-pose)
+Louis curses Nekura.
+Allistar snipes Nekura!
+Ranna appologizes...
+Vyvyan wows. That was forever ago.
+Satanica darias, "In my math book there's this word problem and
+the name of the guy in it is Trent. ^^"
+Louis says, "Thank you, Koa."
+Burn shouts "...That's way harsh.  ...Well... He was harsh to
+me... so...  Yay."  (Public-shout)
+Vyvyan mmms.
+Allistar fluffmuck.orgs, "..oops.. wasn't Nek clinging to Louis'
+skull?"
+Satanica hugs her math book.
+Vyvyan says, "They should do mathbooks with popular music stars
+and such."
+Allistar burnCDs, "Sorry, Louis."
+Satanica can see what's on your mindss, "That'd be cool."
+Louis says, "My skull is protected by a TSI."
+Allistar yiffs, "Louis: Good."
+Satanica laughs insanely at another word problem. Billy Backstroke.
+Allistar time warps, "SATANICA. I need to ask something of you."
+Louis uhms.
+Allistar offers to carry Satanica with him.
+Jade shouts "http://jade.twu.net/jondavis/inbedwithkorn.jpg
+drool"  (Public-shout)
+Allistar jessups, "If I could borrow you for just one minute."
+Zorin shouts "Due to an unfortunate incident, the MUCK must be

+describing what happened shortly after."  (Wiz-shout)
+Louis says, "That conjures up pornstars."
+Satanica shouts "How wrong wrong wrong that sounded."  (Public-shout)

Fluff Park(#53396RLJ)
+You stand in the center of a dying strech of earth that, though once
+probably was a paridise, is now poisonous and diseased. The ground
+is carpeted with small thorny weeds, swirling into large prickled
+bushes surrounding the ruins of a weatherbeaten statue. The body of
+the figure, those parts that haven't worn away way or broken off,
+seems to be a lynx. but the head (made of newer and different stone)
+is that of a one-eyed tentecloid demon. It has no visible mouth, but
+it's still easy to get the impression that he's smiling evily at you.

+
Moving out away from the statue, out of the thorny patch, are
+gnarled, half rotten trees so thick you'd need to burn the forest
+just to get lost in it. It does, however, thin a bit to the 'north'
+and the 'east' where remnants of paved road can be seen slowly
+cracking back to pebbles and dust.  A damged and rusting metal
+'object' sits near the edge of the treeline, and a gaping 'hole'
+in the ground, bordered by a metal frame, leads down.
+Contents:
+SIGN:  Area still under construction.(#53400)
+Mewbox wakes up.
+The next save will be in 55 mins, 10 secs.
+A mass of slimy tentecles drop out of the sky and grab you...

+You jump into catspace.
+Fluff Park
+You stand in a perfectly charming oasis of land, a clearing in the
+midst of a dense forest. The emerald-green grass is soft as a carpet
+under your paws. This place seems to welcome you, inviting you to
+flop down on the grass and relax.  In the center of the grass is a
+large obsidian column, jutting from the ground, which bears a grey
+marble sculpture of a lynx.  He stands on all fours, looking quite
+proud, tufted ears alert, serenely surveying the Land of Fluff.
+From this central location many paths are open to you. A
+teleporter 'pad' is here which will transport you to the Space
+Station Celeste. Feline Avenue leads away through the trees to the
+'north'; to the 'east' is Lynx Lane.  The park continues to the
+'west.' To the 'south', a narrow path through the vegetation leads
+to shimmering water.
+There's a small hatchlike door set into the ground. A narrow
+opening cut into a treetrunk is marked 'Bulletin Board Reading Room'
+(to enter, type "board"). You see a large SIGN here.
+ Furs here:
+Yoshi, Malameux, Blackheart, Starlet, SilverWolf, Ranna, Artemis,
+Satanica, Vyvyan, Allistar and Louis
+ Things here:
+Brenda, Space Moose, FluffHomesGuide and ACME Matter Generator

+Anya walks into the reading room to read the board. ("board"
+to follow)
+You page, "Oh boy, fun fun fun!" to Zorin.
+Vyvyan sighs and lays down. She wants it to be tomorrow, so she
+can be at skool.
+Louis says, "Zorin keeps getting attacked by mutant rats from
+Yuggoth."

+Fluff Park
+You stand in a perfectly charming oasis of land, a clearing in the
+midst of a dense forest. The emerald-green grass is soft as a carpet
+under your paws. This place seems to welcome you, inviting you to
+flop down on the grass and relax.  In the center of the grass is a
+large obsidian column, jutting from the ground, which bears a grey
+marble sculpture of a lynx.  He stands on all fours, looking quite
+proud, tufted ears alert, serenely surveying the Land of Fluff.
+From this central location many paths are open to you. A
+teleporter 'pad' is here which will transport you to the Space
+Station Celeste. Feline Avenue leads away through the trees to the
+'north'; to the 'east' is Lynx Lane.  The park continues to the
+'west.' To the 'south', a narrow path through the vegetation leads
+to shimmering water.
+There's a small hatchlike door set into the ground. A narrow
+opening cut into a treetrunk is marked 'Bulletin Board Reading Room'
+(to enter, type "board"). You see a large SIGN here.

+Louis kills Nekura.
+Starlet goes home.

+You pounce Nekura!  DG? tumbles back laughing
+Louis strangles Nek.
+Nekura says, "erm.. Miles"
+You ticklenoogiedeath Nekura!
+Nekura says, "GAH!!"
+Yoshi starts laughing helplessly.
+The Voices are unleashed upon the room...
+Nekura says, "ok.. Gillian toads Miles so in order to get Miles
+back Zorin shuts it down without restart"
+Ylla walks into the reading room to read the board. ("board"

+Nekura gets it
+Louis says, "Yes."
+Yoshi purrs, "Oh great, the voices. =p"
+Louis says, "But beyond that, I know nothing."
+Yoshi purrs, "That's the current theory, Nekura."
+Nekura says, "Ahhh."
+Louis says, "Save that Gillian is laughing, and everyone is chaotic."
+Nekura says, "SAVE THE PIGMY WHALES!"
+Louis says, "This is more chaos than I, a Discordian even, can take."
+Nekura runs around screaming
+Nekura kicks in a couple of doors and riots and throws some
+trash cans
+Yoshi is enjoying it in a sick way, Louis.
+Louis says, "Same here, Yoshi."
+Yoshi purrs, "Mostly because I don't have to deal with it."
+Louis says, "I'm just yucky at the lack of information."
+Yoshi feels guilty for enjoying it though because he feels sorry
+for Zorin.
+Nekura is too!
+Yoshi nods at Louis.
+Nekura says, "why you feel bad for Zorin?"
+Louis says, "But I also @archived me=e just in case."

+Nekura says, "miles is online now"
+Brightie revives, "Waaaait a minute."
+Vyvyan bahs! The black velvet-like fabric has stained her otherwise
+white bra black, and her hands are gray. o.O;
+Louis hehs.
+Brightie Da Da Das, "Someone tell me what the hell is going on."
+Vyvyan hugs Brightie. She hasn't the slightest.
+Louis says, "There is a theory."
+Louis says, "Someone toaded Miles, so Zorin shutdown the muck,
+which restored him."
+Brightie is too sexy for her 56k modems, "Bad stuff is happening
+and I'm totally lost and scared."
+Brightie tortures, "Is that true though?"
+Calvin xenomorphs, "ugh"
+Vyvyan says, "Like, what?"
+Louis says, "We think it is."
+Nekura says, "Me and Louis... will investigate."
+Louis says, "Gillian is laughing her ass off, and I can't get

+Ranna needs....blanket...
+Brightie joe boxers, "Err."
+Calvin xenomorphs, "I just cut myself on an exacto knife"
+Vyvyan says, "What happened?"
+Vyvyan laughs.
+Brightie feels like screaming, "What'd Miles do to get himself
+toaded?"
+Louis says, "We don't know."
+Louis says, "Zorin didn't toad him."
+Louis says, "It was probably Gillian or an unregistered."
+Brightie doesn't like Alice in Chains, "Hmm. Yeah."
+Calvin xenomorphs, "there are others with power?"
+Vyvyan leans on Brightie. She has her shit-kicker German army boots
+on. And a black skirt. And no shirt - just a bra, because she was
+playing with her Eris outfit.
+Allistar emerges from a cloud of gently swirling, multicolored

+Ranna has disconnected.
+Calvin yells "kein Schlaf fr Sie!" (no sleep for you) and blows
+the sleeper up with a panzerfaust
+Ranna gets flung far past the ninth gate, and is therefore better
+than all the other sleepers
+Ranna has left.
+Vyvyan drinks Mt. Dew and leans back in a chair. She feels so cool
+in just a black skirt and boots. Her bra /was/ white - but the
+black velvet-like fabric of her Eris toga stained it gray.
+Ranna emerges from a cloud of gently swirling, multicolored fluffs.
+Louis says, "Alli..."
+Brightie 's god pouts on the cover of the magazine, "Weeeird."
+Calvin xenomorphs, "what did Alli do?"
+Louis says, "I suggest you @archive yourself."
+Allistar meows, "Why?"
+You whisper, "Yoshi knows for sure that someone was toaded, that's
+why he downed the server." to Brightie.
+Allistar pirates, "What's gonna happen?"
+Louis says, "Weird shnuff is going down."
+Allistar puddings, "like?"
+You whisper, "Zorin told me himself. I'm guessing miles from the
+shouts." to Brightie.
+Nekura gets a gun and a big truck
+Louis says, "Miles was toaded."
+Brightie whispers, "I guess so.." to you.

+Allistar erases, "Why?"
+Brightie paigehaleys, "Feh."
+Calvin xenomorphs, "hey Nek, jump into my kaputzenwagen!"
+Louis says, "So Zorin shutdown the muck, which restored Miles."
+Nekura jumps in his truck and drives down the street he got a big
+truck because he knows people want to ram him
+Louis says, "Gillian or one of the unregistered toaded him."
+Brightie dramaticas, "Yes."
+Louis says, "Mav left the MUCK because of it."
+Brightie dreams about sex all day, "It's all falling into place.."
+Calvin xenomorphs, "this is weird, because the ActionXtreme forums
+were hacked and a few accounts were erased"
+Brightie voodoos, "Mav left the muck for good?"
+Allistar shouts "Where's the bulletin that you promised us?"
+(Public-shout)
+Yoshi wonders what info Brightie has?
+Louis says, "I'm pretty sure."
+Yoshi purrs, "Probably not, Brightie."
+Yoshi's betting he'll be back,
+Louis says, "Yah."
+Nekura nods
+Allistar nekuras, "Gillian's not a wiz anymore!"

+( Bulletin! Bulletin! Bulletin! Bulletin! )  (Public-spoof)
+Allistar pikas, "That."
+Yoshi purrs, "We know who did it now."
+Allistar klondikes, "Yes."
+Brightie went to the 1999 and 2000 Havarah camping trips, "Yep."
+Allistar fluffmuck.orgs, "You can thank me for figuring it out."
+You nuzzle Allistar!
+Allistar mini-kittys, "and I wasn't even on to know."
+Calvin xenomorphs, "it was Gil?"
+Allistar uhoh-boom.coms, "Yes."
+Nekura knew it
+Calvin xenomorphs, "what was her Motive?"
+Nekura knew it all along
+Louis suspected Tcheky due to her behavior.
+Allistar meows, "Which was why Zorin said that the muck would not
+be saved."
+Yoshi purrs, "No one knows."
+Nekura says, "Miles is a little child preditor"
+Nekura says, "Ask less"
+Allistar floppies, "Miles probably owns a large portion of the muck."
+I don't see that here.
+Brightie doesn't suggest Taxi Driver for depression, "Child
+predator?"
+Louis says, "Of course, over the shout Les claimed Miles was a
+child predator."
+Calvin xenomorphs, "awww, I wasn't bleeding as bad as I had hoped"
+Yoshi purrs, "Umm."
+Nekura says, "Jeah."
+Brightie papa roachs, "Hmmm."
+Louis says, "I asked Gillian about it, she said he was probably

+Yoshi purrs, "Ok."
+Nekura's trying to get someinfo
+Louis says, "Windy is probably involved."
+Calvin xenomorphs, "oh well, in the long run, that's a good thing"
+Allistar electrocutes, "I'm guessing either Miles owns a large
+portion of fluff.."
+Louis says, "Uh."
+Nekura says, "Windwatcher? Why do you say that?"
+Allistar matrices, "Or... Gillian toaded him in response to
+something."
+Yoshi purrs, "Windy's got his fingers in every pie...."

+Brightie logging too.
+Louis says, "Good."
+Allistar starts logging.

+Matrices emerges from a storm of violently swirling, black

+Matrices has arrived.
+a little black raincloud forms over Matrices' head...
+Guest3 has arrived.
+Matrices enters, with Guest3 walking along next to him.
+Allistar radds, "I have a feeling we should @archive"
+Yoshi purrs, "In fact, I need to clean them out, and when I go to
+clean this up for safekeeping, I thinking I will."
+Louis will probably inquire about a log later, if you don't mind.
+Matrices waves
+Yoshi nodnods, sure.
+Guest3 waves!
+Allistar worship ileahs, "I'll brb"
+Allistar tries to go to the park, but to his surprise, he finds
+that he's already here.
+Ranna wants to know too...
+Allistar goes home.
+Allistar has left.
+:CueCat bounds out after Allistar..

+Allistar emerges from a cloud of gently swirling, multicolored

+:CueCat bounds in looking for Allistar..
+Louis shrugs.
+Allistar coca-colas, "There."
+The Voices fade out, then dissappear...
+Brightie shakes her head. This is damn crazy.
+Allistar bounces, "Archive done."
+Calvin hugs Matrices!  Matrices hugs Calvin back, 'cause Calvin's
+her friend... awww...
+Yoshi purrs, "But anyone that wants what I happen to be logging,
+email yoshi@aros.net"
+Matrices hugs Calvin!
+Allistar has a really bad feeling.
+Matrices closes her eyes, a blue-green glow surrounds her... The
+glow recedes leaving Matrices in her normal form...
+Nekura shakes his head and rumbles around the park in his truck
+Vyvyan says, "Alli, if your gonna puke - do it over there..."

+Allistar shouts "I have a theory of what happened."  (Public-shout)
+Yoshi thinks something like this has been brewing for a long time.
+Brightie plays kill-by-numbers, "I do too, Allistar."
+Louis jumps in Nekura's truck, Tommy gun ready.
+Nekura says, "Windwatcher refuses to comment to me"
+Calvin shouts "Die Parknazis erobern das apocolypse"  (Public-shout)
+Nekura nods to Louis
+Brightie was voted off the island, "Something bad's gonna happen. I
+can sense it."
+Calvin hops in
+Guest3 wails! Matrices no like 'er? Bah. Screw it. She knows Matrices
+likes her.
+Allistar dailypirates, "I know, Brightie."
+Yoshi purrs, "I couldn't tell where from, but the feeling was
+unmistakeable."
+Nekura rides Louis around in his big truck
+Louis says, "Yes."
+Calvin xenomorphs, "Nice thompson, is it an M1A1, or an M1928?"
+Matrices needs to @archive herself...
+Calvin xenomorphs, "M1921?"
+Allistar did so already, Mati.
+Brightie the perfect drugs, "Something that'll really change
+the muck."
+Allistar's tail puffs up.
+Yoshi nods...while there's still time, Matrices.
+Nekura waves his  Sawed off shotgun wildly in the air
+Allistar yiffs, "Brightie: I know."
+Nekura says, "FLuff armageddon"
+Louis says, "On Fluff97 Zorin and I were discussing the good old
+days and how fluff was in decline."
+Matrices stops Guest3 from walking along with her.
+Calvin xenomorphs, "ow, that hurt like hell"
+Allistar usually gets shaky when soemthing like this happened.
+Matrices slays, "BRB"
+Brightie du hast mechs, "Fluff's been in decline for 3 years."
+Yoshi's had a similar conversation with Zorin several times.
+Matrices clambers aboard a passing black raincloud and is whisked

+Matrices has left.
+a little black raincloud hangs over Matrices' head as she leaves...
+Calvin waves around his PPK
+Louis says, "He was wondering about how to restore it to former
+glory."
+Nekura says, "Ever since the Sonic people got here"

+Brightie shedevil, "Former glory.."
+Yoshi purrs, "DB REVERT!"
+Allistar doctor peppers, "Yoshi, Gillian did it, no doubt."
+Allistar handsprings, "But what I don't get.."
+Calvin xenomorphs, "no, I @archived myself"
+Yoshi purrs, "Start with nothing but the park and rebuild!"
+Allistar downloads, "what CAUSED the toading."
+Allistar ileahs, "Yoshi!"
+Allistar pounces, "Except the jello pools, too!"
+Louis says, "There are some circles I could have joined, but stayed
+out of, so I bet there is something going on."
+Guest3 dances out t'FurryMUCK. See ya!
+Brightie laughs at Yoshi. Heeelll noo.
+Guest3 has disconnected.
+Guest3 has left.
+Guest3 vanishes in a puff of smoke.
+Allistar gets shaky. o.o
+Yoshi purrs, "Probablly just some stupid argument, Alli."
+Yoshi shrugs at Brightie. Just a suggestion.
+Brightie owns way too much stuff. The Cheefox Inn, Surreality,
+Glendale..no no no.
+Louis says, "Zorin's behaviour at Fluff97 indicated something
+building."
+Allistar OH'SE
+Louis says, "And now it has snapped."
+Calvin xenomorphs, "yea! bring 'em on, I'll fill 'em with 7.65x39!"

Remember how I said that I was afraid of my roommate?

+

Well, he's fucking scary!

+

Sysco talks in his sleep some, which is okay, though it's kind of odd, because he actually forms coherent (mostly) thoughts, though they tend to be really angry thoughts. He had already yelled at me a few times tonight about bottles or something, and he was completely smashed when he got home, so I should've expected this, but I'm so on-edge from caffeine that I pretty much would've flipped out about anything.

+

Anyway, stuff that was sitting on top of my monitor decided it really wanted to be on top of my CD spindle, and that it wanted to be rude about it, so CRASH it went, knocking a Mtn. Dew bottle onto the floor. As if this wasn't enough to completely destroy me, Sysco jumped up from bed, grabbed the Mtn. Dew bottle and clung to it possessively, murmuring angry words to himself and visually counting the things on my desk, or the seconds I had left to live. He then reached for my nice glass from which I DRINK THINGS, and grabbed that possessively as well. Holding these two cylinders close against his chest, he then proceeded to wake up.

+

Yes, he was asleep.

+

Yes I am injured.

+

Whiplash. He scared me so much that I jerked my neck backwards.

+

After throwing the bottle on the floor and setting my glass down on top of his CD player, he mumbled at me and went back to sleep. It wasn't until after I freaked out, grabbed my laptop and all of the files I needed and got about halfway to the lobby that I started to laugh at the utter absurdity of the situation. He may yell at me tomorrow about it, but I'm just going to laugh back at him, because, damn, that was just funny. And you've gotta laugh at what you're afraid of, because fear is more absurd than anything else. :o

In other news, I slept with Lon last night. Sleep's perhaps too specific, since I suck at sleeping with other people around, especially when they're touching me. I kinda did it so that I wouldn't have to deal with Sysco, but mostly I was lonely, and appreciative of affection. After that, dorm food and I had a fight, and I've been sick all day. Also, I lost my keys somewhere in Lon's bed, and I'm now locked out of my room.

Tom Yum flavored Fashion Food is pretty damn good, even though it gave me instant heartburn (I fear for my esophagus.. might be acid reflux). Not sure if that's just from me being sick, though. It tasted like a black pepper soup, honestly. It was salty and a little sweet, and my mix of spices went well with it (Garum Masala, curry powder, powdered lemongrass, and cayenne pepper).

I slept six hours, feel much better. Now for studying, tea, and then more sleep

Well, it's been a long time since I posted in this Dusty Ould +Thing®, and longer still since I added an actual Journal +Entry©, but since ™ has prodded me into doing so, I will.
+
+First, with today (then I'll do catch up stuffs), I had four hours with Teh Rev (P) for finals (Excal and Festival), so I was feeling rather.. demoralized by the end of the day.  Then I had auditions for Insomniac, which meant wearing my PJ pants, which are unfairly comfortable (really!  I wish to wear them FO-EH-VAH).  So, of course, I wore them for the rest of the day.
+
+Tonight, at OASOS, Wendy decided to do the Side-Poke-of-Doom (pat. pend.), which involved me falling on the floor multiple times to the point of hurting my hands.  She kept on doing it, but made up for it with Hugs (ran out of copyright thingies).  Samir thought it was cute and dutifully began fawning over/hitting on me, which I did not mind one bit.  Well, maybe just a little bit, when he started giving me a massage.  I have problems with people touching my sides and back, which is strange.  It's probably psychological, but what could cause me to be so extremely sensitive in just those areas as to lead to violent reactions in response to tickling?  Probably something deep, like, since I'm scared of persecution at school, I withdrew physically into myself, so as not to be accused of crossing someone's boundries.  Probably.
+
+Anyway, for past updateishness.  Ranna + Shan!!  Shan + +Rynden x.x  Shan - Rynden; ...Ranna.  Shan + Ranna!  +Shan + Ranna.  Shan.. + Ranna...  Ranna - Shan.  +Ranna.  Shan.  Kory?  Ranna + Kory?  Kory!  +Kory?  Samir!?
+
+There's the relationships.  School:  Choir?  +Choir!  Shannon + Choir?!  Ranna - Shannon? x.x  Ranna + +Excal = Shannon x.x  Teh Rev + Ranna x.x
+
+College?  Got into CSU.  Hoping to do a house thingy with +Ientaculum Vulpes sophomore year, but room in Braiden freshman +year.  Kiran, Shannon, and IV all wish to do the same.

I should've expected that, being highschool teachers, Revier and Keller couldn't have taught us everything, but my audition was very much not what I expected. Dr. Kim told me I was probably only using my voice to about 30% of it's potential due to breath support, and that I'll need lessons. Then he said I'd probably be a tenor.

Well, I fucked up just a bit. While installing grub (a bootloader, a program to choose between operating systems on startup), due to my stupidity and it's rather clunky interface, I ended up overwriting the MBR on my old hard drive. Which means I can't boot windows anymore. Having looked at some sites, I guess there's a fixmbr command on the recovery console of the windows install disk. I just hope I can find that

School

+

School's going pretty well. I got my major all changed (from biochemistry to music education, for those who aren't in the know), and I'm all signed up for most of the classes I need to take. The only ones I'm missing are the techniques classes that were all full. Oh well. I shall take them next semester. I took too much this semester, so I'm lightening up a bit (though apparently, my 'Islam from the 1500s' is fairly hard). All that's required of me now is an audition, which I'm working on really hard. I need two songs memorized and decently singable by the first day of next semester. I have the songs all picked out and stuff, but rehearsing is hard when you can't play the accompaniment.

+

Friends

+

Stuff. Lots of tea parties with Tehshannon and Ryan, and sometimes with Lon. Been hanging out at the office lots, now that I'm getting to know the people there.

+

Clothing

+

Got a scarf, found my khaki-coloured fleece. They go well together.

+

Books

+

Got a good, though rather dry book called Homosexuality and Civilization that goes from ancient Greece to the Enlightenment with some sections on asia thrown in there. Also, been reading this book called Grass by Sherri S. Tepper. I picked it out by walking down an isle at the library and grabbing a random book. Pretty good, though :o)

+

Music

+

Writing more. Started on my third Keats piece: Unfelt, Unheard, Unseen. After I finish that, I need to revise Lullaby and Stanzas, then the set will be complete. I like them better than anything else I've done, but that's not saying a whole lot. I still like them, though. Also: been thinking about a setting of De Profundis, some art songs (more Keats: Why did I laugh? and I cry thy mercy - pity - love - aye, love; two sonnets), and perhaps a symphonic poem based on Hyperion and/or Endymion (the poems, not the books), as well as that book, Homosexuality and Civilization, or maybe an opera ha ha ha

Wherein I talk about booze...Getting interested in making mead again, for some reason. I'd probably just start with a simple hydromel, but I have some ideas for what I want to try: +- Sharp methyglin - sharp spices, like cardamom, cinnimon, nutmeg, cloves (you know, chai spices) +- Smooth methyglin - smoother spices, like vanilla, almond extract, maybe dandylion flowers, maybe carob? Chicory? Lemon balm? Maple syrup? +- Herbal methyglin - yarrow, dandylion greens, basil, lemon balm, mints, wormwood(?), hyssop, you know, the plant stuff. (NB: Herb beers) +- Medicinal methyglin - 'cause, if you're gonna take meds, take them with booze! +- Simple cyser - cider-mead. Ryan might like this. +- Some sort of melomel - dunno, just to try it. I'm not really big on berries, but they seem popular. +- Tej or something - honey and hops. + +The rest are just fanciful ideas: +- Theamel - TEA! Earl grey, lady grey, vanilla russian caravan, french blend, maybe even green tea? +- Cafemel - hahaha, coffeemead! Actually, I see a recipe for orange-coffee mead, and that might be good. Also, a chocolate orange mead? Thought chocolate, I'm not sure of. +- Floramel - flowers; lavender, rose, those things that used to grow outside the house on dartmouth? Or maybe sweeter things, like dandylion flowers, meadowsweet, &c. +- Nucumel - can you make tea out of nuts, like almonds and hazelnuts? +- Simple cyser - cider-mead.

I purchased two reasonably priced gallons of cider the other day. The cider itself may have been expensive, but they came in these nice, sturdy glass jugs. The cider is for a project I have in mind. I plan on seeing if I can purchase some yeast - Red Star Cotes des Blanc and Pasteur Champagne - two drilled bungs, and two double bubble airlocks and making myself some cider. The champagne yeast, which is very dry, shall go in the plainer of the cider, which will result in apple wine/champagne, where as the Cotes des Blanc shall go in the spicier or more flavorful cider. Since a gallon of cider will fill about four liter bottles, I plan on carbonating half of each cider (2 bottles each), and then spicing one sparkling and one still bottle from each batch. That, I think, will give me some good variety.

+

Cost: +cider (and fermenters) - $14.50 +Yeast, bungs, airlocks - $5.18 + $6.64 S&H = $11.82 +Estimated cost of remaining liter bottles (which come with some tasty french lemonade in them) - $17.50

+
+

Total: ~ $38.14

+

Fairly inexpensive for a first try, so if I get a bottle explosion (I hope not, these are sturdy bottles) or fuck something up, then I'm not biting too much. According to the yeast/brewing supplies supplier, orders over $60 have free shipping. I shall wait until after christmas to purchase anything to see if I get money. If so, I might buy some other things.

I've decided that my first mead will be a hydromel, and my second a vanilla/smooth methyglin. This is based on my recent purchase of 20 high quality vanilla beans at $0.50 each. Shh :o

So after that, I slacked off all weekend (though I did have to go to school on friday again. I feel for ye, ), and went up to Kelleh's on sunday night. Had to sleep on the floor, so sleep I didn't, and I'm still paying for that with a sore back. Goofed around a bunch, though, and generally had a lot of fun. Met some of Moondog's friends online, and watched a bunch of movies with a couple of lesbians. The next day, I followed Moondog around, mostly, 'cause she's neat. She smoked cloves and I tried to stay awake while we talked about Samir and dogs and Fredrick and gay boys and stuff.

I just realized last night that the bottles I've been stocking up on are 750 mL, not 1 L. Soooo... What I'm thinking of doing is getting some 375 mL wine bottles. Since it takes five 750 mL bottles per gallon, it will take four 750 mL bottles and two 375 mL bottles for each batch of what I'm making. I can use the smaller bottles as gifts, that way, or for aging. If this works out well, and you want either a bottle of cider or apple wine, let me know. I can make it spiced and/or sparkling, too

I agree that a fine product can come from simplicity. I,ve made an ancient mead in a gallon jug with 3 1/2 lbs honey, a handful of raisins, 1 cinnamon stick, 2 cloves, and 1 complete orange cut into eights rind and all and pushed in jug. Add water and shake well. Then added 1 t of bread yeast and an airlock. I put it in the cubboard and forget about it for 2 months and it comes out crystal clear and great every time and quite a delicious sweet beverage good for sipping at Christmas time. If you wait long enough, all the solids will go to the bottom I am told but I just siphon out the clear stuff with a small cloth filter over the hose when it is clear.

Lately, I've found my self liking this one girl (who shall go unnamed for the moment) as well as this one guy (who's name you already know.. if you're me!!two Ahahaha.. er.. Kory). Now, this isn't a very big problem for me (well, it was, but I have my ways of justification [the current is "I work on a case by case basis"]), but it might be moreso for some folk around me. I've been calling myself gay for all of my high school career, and people have all of their own little conceptions about sexuality, and I think this might damage some of those. It certainly damaged mine for a while. Anyway, I think I'll just keep publicly obsessing over Kory while having a little private obsession over Ms. Unnamed on the side.

+

Mind you, due to something freaky, none of this really has to do with sex. Sex is mighty cool, yes, but recently I've had no desire to actually.. partake in it. After a few incidences of people getting rather close to me, I've found that I'm rather.. uh.. well, lets just say that I've fucked myself over for a little bit by doing the online thing for so long and not learning how to interact with people in the Real World(tm). When a situation starts getting close, I freak out, and that's not exactly wonderful, because not everyone has buried their physical desires under a layer of words ^.^ So, I have little to no desire to make the beast with two backs with Kory, and almost no desire to do the horizontal bop with Ms. No-name. Maybe I still fit the rei populorum definition of gay

In other, related news, I picked up some smaller bottles at McGuckin's for the remainder of the cider. They're not the splits (375mL) that I was going to get, but some odd size that I think is a little over two thirds the size of a split at 9 oz (9 oz = 266.161767mL = ~71% of 375mL = I'm a geek) with grolsch style swing-tops. I got six (for a bit more cash than I was really willing to spend, but with the swing-tops, they're reusable), and I figure I can use three for each batch, filled most of the way (I might have to prime each with a pinch of sugar and leave them open for a little to get them to generate some CO2 to push the O2 out). The offer still stands for gift-age, but with the caveat that I need the bottles back c.c

+

Here, have s'more parentheses: ((((()))))()()()()()((((())))) +(Oh, heh, it says 250mL on the bottoms of the bottles..

Anyhoo. At m'dad's now, and actually feeling pretty good about it. I'm not sure why males have to 'bond', but I guess it's okay, since I'm kinda iffy around my dad unless I spend a good solid hour, at least, around him just shootin' the shit and maybe cooking. Anyway, he got me a wireless keyboard (which sucks) and wireless mouse (which rocks, and means I can take my tablet to my mom's, where it'll be much appreciated), a little flash memory keychain drive that holds 256megs (amazingly cool), and a new sound system (appreciated).

Things are bubbling away nicely with the cider. A little too nicely, even.. the dry cider - the one with the montrachet yeast - kinda went crazy and bubbled up hard enough to push against the bung, some yeasty krausen (foam) spilling out. Luckily, with the way I set things up, the rubber bands pulled the bung back down and the vasoline sealed it down again. As a result, a good deal of the orange krausen pushed up into the airlock and there was barely enough fluid left in there to bubble by the time I got back. I got that all cleaned up and everything, though, and hopefully it won't happen that strong again until I get the new, larger bungs.

I've been having a real hard time breathing, to the point where I can't get to sleep. It's like I just can't get enough air. I'm hoping fingers crossed that it's because of the new house being so much higher than I'm used to and me spending most of my time there. I'll see when I go to my dad's, which is a good deal lower than even Boulder

After waffling about the party and telling pretty much everyone that I wasn't going to go, I went. Well, first I drove up to Nederland and dropped off some tasty liquids and took a shower, then drove up to Fort Collins, where I hung out with Andy for a while. His new place is pretty neat, but the cats have it pretty well stinked up now. Need to change the litterbox x.x There was shopping, and then there was eating, and finally there was putting together prefab furniture and jury-rigged pedestal beds.

+

After futzing around for a while, we finally decided to head over to T's, where we were promptly assaulted by several gay boys. A good deal of the people there were.. well, completely sloshed. Brian was mixing this vaguely blue drink from distilled spirits that tasted like blue-raspberry rubbing alcohol, and people were doing shots of vodka with orange-juice chasers. After the ball-drop, about a quarter of the party, most of whom I didn't know, left, only to be replaced by another group, already drunk.

+

I had about half of a Blue Paddle which was pretty tasty, if kinda dry, before I was informed that I was DDing. I handed the beer off to Andy and switched to Dr. Pepper, walking around to try and meet people, which is much easier to do when both parties involved are either both tipsy or both sober. Eventually I just alternated between hanging out in the kitchen and watching with awe as people seemed to get even MORE drunk, and hanging out in the basement with Meg, who was wearing her gay Klingon shirt (mupwI' yI'uchtaH!) and quite red in the face.

+

When I found Andy again, he had taken a turn for the worse, and was on his second of Brian's drinks. Luckily, he's pretty big and was holding up fairly well, considering. We sat on the couch upstairs with Meg and had various drunken twinks sprawl across our collective lap for a few minutes before staggering off again, coming back, and reintroducing themselves, showing us their battle wounds again (doorknobs are a bitch when you're drunk). After a while, at about 2:30, I urged Meg and Andy out to Andy's car so I could drive them home. Meg thanked me for about five minutes straight once we got to her house before we could get away, then staggered off.

+

We spent the night at Andy's new place despite the iffy bed. We stayed up for a bit watching the South Park Movie before we passed out. Or.. well.. Andy dozed off, and I lay there, not being able to breathe. Eventually, that settled more specifically into my sinuses, which means it was probably mildew of some sort and I may be in for a few days of fun.

+

Nothing I didn't want to happen happened, but I'm sure - as I always am - that I was a horrible person to be sleeping with, but it was a nice intermission to my rather lonely break to be affectionate for a little bit. I eventually made it home safe, with the aid of some strong mocha, almond-poppyseed bread, and Advil Cold&Sinus. Mom and I were going to go out for sushi and a movie, but we were both too tired for the movie (and I accidentally spent a little too long hanging out with a nice fox), so we just had sushi, came home, and passed out.

+

I'm starting to get tired again, with the addition of a headache, so I might go lie down for a while

Okay, so I returned tuesday and it's saturday night, but it took a while to digest the whole thing. Anyway, here's a recount of All-State:

+

Sunday: +Woke up at about ten, the bus left at around 11:45. The journey up was pretty uneventful, though there was a good deal of singing on the bus. One choir would be singing about Ezekiel and the wheel, another in hebrew, and a third about the devil. It was interesting, to say the least. Anyway, after we got there, we immediately had our second audition, which consisted of singing about ten measures from three of our seven songs. After that, we went to the hotel and checked in. There was a two hour rehearsal before dinner, and one after dinner. The director of the mens' choir was really, Dr. Peter Eklund. After that, there was a short concert before bed, where I didn't sleep, 'cause Michael Rodgers was so restless.

Monday: +Woke up early for an eight o'clock rehearsal, and rehearsed all day long, which was actually rather fun. During the course of the day, I met really neat guy named Tim, a second tenor who's into classical music and goes to Denver School of the Arts. We hung out for most of the rest of the day, except for dinner (where the FHS kids ordered $145 of chinese food. My fortune said, "You have a special appreciation of music and the arts" Captain obvious, thank you. I'll continue breathing now). Before that, however, there was the balcony sing, which was incredibly cool. Imagine three of the world's best choirs singing in a nine story open space, and you just get a small glimpse of how cool it was. There was a dance that night, but Tim and I just wandered around and talked. We went up to the ninth floor and found out that Matt was afraid of heights.

+

Tuesday: +This was concert day, so we ended up getting up at six, eating breakfast, and were on stage by eight. We rehearsed until 11:30, then lunch, then our first concert was at 2. It went very well; the other choirs got to watch us, and the womens' choir freaked out, screaming and melting and such. There was a bit more rehearsal, then dinner, then the final concert at 7:30. My mom showed up, and my dad forgot. Oh well. All in all, it was pretty much the most incredible thing that's happened to me. ^.^

+

Some songs of note from All-State: +Du Bist Die Ruh - Schubert, Arr. Eklund (mens) +El Yivneh Hagalil - Sozio (mens) +Daemon Irrepit Callidus - Orban (mixed) +Sleep - Whitacre (mixed)

+

Tomorrow: +Ryan, Wendy, Kiran, Andrew, Shannon, and maybe Tyler are all gonna come over and watch anime (Yami no Matsuei, Excel Saga, FLCL, maybe Trigun). The pack (Me, Ryan, Andrew, and Wendy) will most likely pile and make the others feel awkward. They're welcome to join if they want :o

I forgot to mention that I started a batch of mead last night, which is weird, considering how obsessed I am ^.^ It's a batch similar to Joe Matolli's Ancient Orange Spiced mead, except I didn't have an orange, so I turned it into a metheglin with dried rosehips instead. It was bubbling away in less than half an hour

Oh yeah. Started another batch of mead last night, only 1 quart as a test batch for a theamel (tea-mead). I thought it made sense because of the amount of tea needed to get the flavor in the product (a lot) and the amount of honey needed for this size of a batch (very little).

Of course, it might've all been done in insanity. I had a weird night last night thanks to me freaking out over nearly nothing, then spending an hour believing a bunch of stuff I knew wasn't true. In retrospect, it was pretty cool, like a dream :o) As a result, I'm tired

So, I was originally thinking of making a road trip out to California as soon as I got the new car, and then flying to FC06, but I'm starting to think differently. After talking to some people, I might see if I can bribe my mom into letting me use some of her Mileage Plus miles (after she gets tickets for her and Bob to go to Europe; I'm sure there'll be some left over, considering all she's put on the Mileage Plus Visa, especially if I get tickets early) to go to AC, and then drive to FC, since I'm fairly sure I'll have the car by then. This will maximize my furriness, as well as the number of friends I get to see/meet. Besides, Shannon's going, too, so if no one else is there I know, I'll just stalk her, for once ^.

By means of explaination, two assignments from my creative writing class.

+

Assignment 1: Creative Imitation. +He was the white sheep, the one who could be tamed and domesticated, the four of spades of the family. Was he my favorite aunt? No. But he was by far the least attractive, a man who could hold his liquor, his money, and all of the many men who passed through his life. Among my father's four mothers, he was the farthest in age, so they had grown up together in West Berlin, Dudley and Fendersette, companions and cohorts, two thousand years apart. I have seen my father undulating with complacency at something his mother had recently done to him. I have also watched him fry as he recounted a girlhood stunt that foreshadowed the kind of life that Fendersette would lead. I mention this because my father was not what I would call a human or an exploding fox. He was given to shows of pleasure, yet no one could make him laugh out loud.

+

Assignment 2: Touch and Go Scavenger Hunt. +1. The fox feels like idyllic fur; plush and soft and like doom. +2. The snow is a cold, crystalized terrain of doom. +3. Tree buds; waxy, purposeful corpuscles of doom. +4. The air feels decidedly not like a rock of doom. +5. The wood is velvety soft with a ripply, distinctly doom-like quality. +6. Willie's face feels remarkably like Aditi's face, Matt's face, and doom. +7. Chris' gauze-tape feels like crumply, rubbery, elastic doom. +8. 50-Spence's hair feels like soft, fluffy, airy doominess. +9. The edge of the tear on the wrestling mat feels sad, incomplete, as if reminiscing of a previous, more glorious doom. +10. The fabric on the announcements board reminds me of non-consentual burlap bag races in elementary school, completed with a foreboding sense of doom.

+

Ms. Doolittle got mad at me today in creative writing. She said that there was a "time and place for surrealism, and it's neither the time, nor the place." I replied that there was no place for a surrealist in reality, and sulked the rest of the period

Someone who means an awful lot to me recently made a post regarding love that brought into question an awful lot of things for me. It touched on a lot of things that I struggled with in the past, including how to tell people that you like them, and polyamory, both things that Michael and I struggled with a good deal and came to no real conclusions about.

+

For a while now, ever since what happened with Lon, I've been telling myself that I'm not stable enough - mentally, and in the sense that school isn't exactly a stable place - but I'm starting to wonder just what I mean by that. I mean, am I not stable enough for love? For dating? For relating to people at all? I'm starting to think more and more that it's the second one. The way dating seems to work in this community is that you find someone you think is pretty, say you're in love, make out, fuck a few times, and move on.

+

I guess I've just been spoiled by the relationships I've had in the past, where you.. you know.. fall in love with someone, and maybe, you know, do something about it. I might be too much of a coward for the last bit, though.

+

A shame, I wish I weren't...

+

Oh, and the theme music from the climax of Troy is a rip off of Ralph Vaughn Williams' Fantasia on a theme by Thomas Tallis.

+
+

I replaced the old post for a few reasons: Michael, who is mentioned in the post, is having a hard time convincing his current partner that he is not cheating on him with me, and I don't think the post would've helped that any; and one of my friends has some.. strong opinions about the matter, which I'd rather him not bring up anymore. This repost is just between us, kept for reference

Zk | Concerning the Content Manager.

+
+
+

First of all, it needs a good name. I don't want to just call it 'RF!P Manager' or anything, and I've pretty much exhausted adding 'Fox' to the front of my project names.. Oh well. If anyone has any suggestions, feel free to let me know.

+

The actual content managing program would be pretty short; all it would have to do is read in a file containing a list of extensions and the plugin associated with them, then read in the extension file and eval it with either the name of the file or a filehandle passed to it (perhaps open to a scalar filehandle, so you have the filename, too, and don't have to access $ENV{'PATH_INFO'} all the time) along with the CGI handler (add $ENV{'PATH_INFO'} args to CGI params).

+

An example url would be ranna.bolognia.net/man/addtable.atm, which is just an html file that requires the user to be logged in to access (Admin::HTML). The atm file has a form who's action url is /man/addtable.adm, where adm is aliased to the function Admin::Admin which requires a password. The addtable would create an SQL file with the suffix .asql and link to it. The extension .asql is aliased to Admin::SQL, which would decide whether to $dbh->do() or $sth = $dbh->prepare(); ... it, and require a password in the process.

+

/man alone would have a default action to parse ($action = $ENV{'PATH_INFO'} || "/index.html";). /man/.ext would dump information about the extension 'ext' (a third field in the config file? extension subroutine info-file)

+

An idea for a configuration file: +# Admin types: +.ah?tml? Admin::HTML ahtml.nfo +.adm Admin::Admin admin.nfo +.asql Admin::SQL asql.nfo

The anime thing was extremely cool. We watched some of the Yami No Matsuei, some Excel Saga, and all of FLCL, but that wasn't really the highlight. Since the pack was over, plus some, there was a huge pile. , Mr. Pilot, Wendy, and I, of course, piled, but Shannon and Kiran also joined in. Tyler just watched us and the TV. Anyhoo, Moondog (Wendy) brought over her brand new puppy, who was so cute as to cause me to go into spasms. Also in the spasm-inducing department was Moondog chewing on my neck.

+

We've decided that Moondog's the Alpha, and that it's a pack because she's a wolf. Also, we've decided to head up to Steamboat for a weekend or something and dance around the campfire and pile and howl and do other joyous things. I'm getting rather attached to this pack thingie. Makes me happie

Some sort of funk. I crashed at about six thirty, and meant to wake up at midnight to see if I could catch some people online, but I got up at 2 instead. I lay there for half an hour or so thinking, before deciding that wasn't productive, so now I'm working with Floid again to get my transfer partition back.

+

I really need to stop thinking, all I end up doing is confusing myself. I keep getting stuck on trying to define what different people mean to me, and I have a hard time just letting it be. Oh well

Okay, so I got accepted to Freshman Voice studio along with one other person, out of the 6 or so that auditioned (the rest got into a different studio, dunno much about it). AND I got free voice lessons with Dr. Queen out of it. Now I just need to get the books, which is proving difficult. The bookstore HAD one of them, but they're all out.

So, I have University Singers MWF, voice studio monday, Freshman Voice Studio TR, voice lessons wednesday, and Mens Choir TR. I also have a small poster of David Bowie in Labyrinth.

I ran home over the weekend to see parentses for birthday stuffs. Went out to sushi with mom, got to see how the new kitchen's coming along (nice), got a nice present. Today, I drove down to Lakewood to find neither my dad nor Julie home, and I was disappointed, so I went to the bathroom before I was going to take off again, and then they showed up. Dad forgot about my birthday again, but whatever, got a present, comments on my pants, and jokes about the number nineteen.

+

I brought my mead and acer up here, because I don't know when I'll be going back home, and with all of the renovation going on, I don't know where I'd put it that it wouldn't somehow be discovered. The trick now is just getting it inside (which I'd like to do soon, to get it out of the cold). I tasted them all, and they're all really harsh (hot alcohol flavors, and green apple flavors, both of which age out), except for the acer, but I suspect that's 'cause it's not done yet.

+

This semester, I think, is going to be kinda hard, but lots more fun than the last. I'm so glad I got into the voice studio, 'cause that seemed to get me into a bunch of other things as well, like my major, the voice department, another studio, and free voice lessons. Of course, that means multiple hours of singing every day, but that should be fun :o)

Concerned about FC06. It's not during my break, like it was this year, so I'm not sure how I'll make it. Assuming I get into Uni Singers again and don't have a sudden, drastic improvement enough to get me into Chamber Singers, I'll have at least one class on friday and monday, likely more. If that's it, though, then I can leave thursday night, only miss one day, and get back monday morning on a red-eye in time for choir. A shame that's the one that didn't work out, since it got such rave reviews from the nonfurs gang. AC05 is seeming more and more definite as time goes on, as long as I can keep the money I have. I'm sure some of it will go to paying my mom back or making a security deposit on a house, but if I get a job, hopefully that'll help. Not sure who all I'll stay with for either con, but I know a bunch of people who are going to both and who will destroy me if I don't go to either, so.. yeah. Darkwolf's gonna be mad :o

I'd like to know why my body saw fit to keep me up until 6am on the day I needed to be up at 7 while proclaiming to be tired at 10 the night before. Well.. I know why, I think. Back at school, drinking tea again. I must restrict that to mornings for a while.

+

Also, it's interesting to note, and I've been thinking about it for a while, that sometimes, when I'm in a situation where I feel that I have complete domination over someone, that is the time when I feel most submissive to them, as if that's when I have the least power, and that at that moment, I am, for lack of a better word (or the need for one), devoted entirely to them. It makes me feel strange. I like feeling devoted to someone, but I'd like to feel that I would do anything for anyone at anytime and not have to take myself into account at all, and for that feeling to mostly occur when I'm bordering on feeling like I'm taking advantage of that person is a little awkward for me. I'm still new to this whole life thing, only 19 years in

I've missed my night walks, and tonight was a beautiful night to take the first one in months. Even though there was a light brushing of snow on some of the grass, most of what fell, I think, was rain, and the walk was plenty warm with a hoodie and a scarf (I know, I'm gay ;.;). I went to the Oval so I could walk through the double-row of elms, then made my way to Alley Cat for a cup of the WORLD'S GREATEST CHAI. On my way back, I walked almost the entire way along the train tracks that run through campus. I decided that the reason I changed my major is that I'm either not strong enough to question the beauty of nature, or strong enough not to.

So I was told yesterday that I should have a song memorized for FVS and ready to perform by today. The idea was that the whole class would perform one of their songs either today or thursday just to check our memorization skills. I kinda figured that since I just joined the class a week or two ago, that she might go easy on me, as opposed to the other students who had been in the class for a semester plus that week or two. Nope. I was picked first. It all worked out well, though. She worked with me on breathing (something I would've gotten help from Dr. Queen on, except that he was gone last wednesday during my lesson time) and consonants, which were disappearing 'cause Ms. Fox, the accompanist, played it much slower than I was used to, which was more fun than taking it quicker.

Lessons with Dr. Queen were really cool. He's the head of the opera department, so he had a lot to say about singing with breath support. He gave me an exercise to help with that which I'm supposed to do for fifteen minutes every day (might be a little boring, but it's to help develope muscle memory). Also I apparently change notes with my larynx, when it's supposed to be done with air pressure. So.. yeah, neat stuff

Another uneventful day passes.

+

Well, mostly uneventful.

+

Today, in MizDoo's class (creative writing) we did a web (a method of brainstorming that I actually like. Not sure if , , and did this) on fear. The idea of the exercise was to let your right brain do the writing and give your left brain, the one that usually controls such idea processing, a break. Ms. Doo said that there'd probably be an 'ah moment' when you hit on something that would be worth writing about. For me, the ah-moment was subtle, but rather revealing. It was like going to some Freudian psychologist, only it was free, and I did it to myself. I've found new respect for my pen, paper, and the wonder of language.

+

However, since this stuff is kinda personal, I'll cut here. It you want to delve deeper and get weirded out even more by me, go ahead and read on.

+
On Ranna and his relationships, and what he should do.Anyway, more to the point, we were storming up a brain on the word 'fear' and what it meant to us, so I started out with some pretty mundane topics: 'mediocrity' and 'alone'. I'll give you the progression from there, and boldface the parts that, after thinking about them, made me go 'ah.' + +Fear - mediocrity: bad job, boring person, normal - why can I mean something to someone? - alone - I like people but I keep myself alone with who I like and that leads to doom - fear - I take personality tests, but they don't tell me anything - I need someone and the ones I need and like are not my type - why is it that people are they way they are sometimes? - I like the Alpha [Moondog] and Kory and I obsess, but I don't tell them, maybe I'm afraid they'll like me back and I won't know what to do about it - I kept myself in long-distance relationships because I didn't know how to deal with local ones, I was afraid of looking stupid/bad - I'm afraid of myself and how self-centered I might seem/be - why be selfless? - You're not worthless, you know that, but maybe you're afraid that people won't see your worth? - maybe they do and you just don't let yourself see it. + +(I also wrote 'Fear - I eat children - MESSY', but deemed that inconsequential.) + +So, while there's no terrifically new items there, there is a new way to look at myself and the way I deal with relationships. I'm not sure what I'm gonna do about it yet, since I've got a lot of other stuff going on, but I also have a four day weekend coming up, so that might be time to focus. I'm thinking I might do something to help with that. Maybe fasting, or a good long think (dare I say... MEDITATION?! Yes, actually; "meditation") away from the house (but where?) and my emotion-absorbing/-resistant basement. Any other ideas? I'm getting the feeling that the current.. I don't want to say rut.. maybe track I'm in is probably not the healthiest for me (or others, for that matter), and I should work on altering that; I should re-evaluate my feelings for others and just what they mean, as well as how I deal with those feelings. + +
+ +

In other news, I'm now a FLCL freak. MizDoo said that the show was either a sign of the downfall of our species (for it's short attention span inducing.. stuff. She wasn't terribly clear), or genius. I happen to think it's the latter. I think we should coin a word on Ms. Doolittle's name (and get points): Missdoo (I missdoo, to missdoo, missdoo'd, to have missdoon) v. intrans. - To wander away from the topic unintentionally and suddenly snap back. "To missdoo is generally considered unacceptable in public speaking: a solid topic is strongly reccommended."

+

(More personal-ish stuff follows) +Edit: upon flipping through the dog-eared pages of 's book (see his post for which one) during my unexpected off-period, we both found that, according to a very general description, we're both wolves, and for different reasons: Ryan because of some of his actions, me because of my sensitivity about people touching my neck, ears, and other sensitive areas, and both of us due to our tall, lanky builds. There were other time consuming facts there, and as always, true information hidden beneath them. After Pops, I must borrow that book again and take a more serious look. While shifting in particular isn't what really interests me, some of the other ideas in the book piqued my interest. +</lj-cut

I'm having a hard time understanding how I'm able to care about all these things and not just explode. Sure, it's disappointing that our president supports enshrining discrimination in the constitution, but with everything else that's going on, is it not be permissable for me to not get worked up into a complete tizzy and instead just focus on making it through school?

+

In other news, I got my official acceptance letter: I am now a Bachelor of the Arts in Music. I'm not a Music Ed. major yet, but that's alright, since the only education classes I'm taking this semester are psych and public speaking. I just need to reaudition for next semester (which may be the jury itself)

I'm going to try to compile all of my stupid little posts into one post instead of flooding friends lists.

+

A butt-load of highschoolers are coming up to the campus tomorrow for All-State choir. Well, tomorrow's actually the only day they'll be on campus, for second auditions. I hope I'll get to see them around - both the Rev and JK will be up, along with a bunch of kids I know (including but not limited to Kory). If I don't see them there, I'll definitely try and see them at the balcony sing (150+ of the best highschool-aged singers singing down from a 7th story balcony into a hotel atrium = bliss, and there are three choirs that do that). I'll see if I can make the actual concert on tuesday, too, but that's a long shot.

+

I might get a chance to have one of my pieces sung, finally. The men's and women's choirs got asked to maybe sing the Star Spangled Banner for some game of some sort, I'm gonna talk to the directors about maybe doing my arrangement of it. Who knows. It might not be the sort of thing they're after.

Ah, wednesday of doom. School starts later for me, yet I end up having to get up at the same time since I have to drive from my dad's. Then I must endure Revier for two block periods, interspersed amongst math and IB bio 3,4, and then see him again for closer rehearsal of DEATH, during which Kory and I clung together, leaned on each other, hugged, maybe even snugged. I'm focused on singing, can't you tell? After that, I hurried home, hurried dinner, hurried out, hurried and to group, and proceeded to attach to Moondog. Speaking of attachment to Moondog, it feels like I'm becoming rather attached to Moondog. >.@ I'm also spazzing out 'cause I feel obligated to only feel that way to the stereotypical gayboi. Ah well, I'm a loser that way. I'm concerned about what this might mean to her, since it, well, you know, has to do with her. I fucked myself over by not telling people before, so I'm thinking I should talk with her sometime soonish. I'll probably do it online, 'cause I'm a coward. Kelly says it's obvious that we're completely smitten, and that I should do something about it, but she's vague and confusing. And twisted, too. Illa vita. Moondog herself is kinda being vague about something about interests and perhaps liking a gayboi, but I don't want to assume. Well, I want to, but I mustn't!

School's been wacky. Cool, but wacky. I have so much in the way of music, it's almost like an overload, but a good one. So much better than last semester.

+

I got a roommate, I guess. There was a note in my mailbox from the office manager (the one I yelled at for having an incomplete contract) saying that someone was moving over from Westfall named 'Kenney' and that he was to be my new roommate. The only problem is that I have to clean his side of the room, and they won't tell me when he's moving in, just that he has until wednesday. Oh well, I should expect as much.

+

Both Gabe (women's chorus director) and Kent (men's chorus director) looked at my arrangement of the Star Spangled Banner. Gabe said he really liked it, but that there were a few weak places, and he gave me some good ideas (and one not so good idea) to fix it up. Haven't talked to Kent yet. On wednesday, I forgot when Uni Singers started, and got there a half an hour early, so I helped Dr. Kim set up chairs and turn on the lights (since everything in the choir room shocks him. Everything), and he mentioned that he had talked to Mr. Keller, who had said that apparently Madrigals are performing my piece. I'm going to try and ask Kory about it next time I see him online, because it seems rude for me to call up Keller and ask if he actually is planning on doing that. Whatever, it's cool either way, I just wish I had a chance to revise it first if they are going to perform it.

+

Been hanging out at Alley Cat a lot. Thursday after class I spent about four hours there, and last night after MSTies, I spent about six hours there. The first night was with Lalery, Andy, Forrest, Miranda, and some other girl who didn't stay long, and last night was with Andy and Shannon. Both nights I got kinda cozy with Andy (and got funny looks from everyone else), which was alright - I thought I'd scared him off the night of the New Years party when I stayed over.

+

Withdrew cash from the bank to get some shopping done. Got some tasty and not-so-tasty beverages. Some Goya juice (Tamarind - too sweet, funny smell, and Guanabana, which I haven't tried yet), Malta Goya (which appears to be diluted and carbonated beer wort), some ginger beer (extra ginger, baby), some tea in a square bottle which isn't Kirin, some Odwalla superfood, and, from Tony, some Newcastle Brown Ale, 1554, Abbey, Trippel, and Biere de Mars (the last four being from a local microbrewery). Should last me for a good long while.

+

Racked the two small batches of mead I have going and put them in the fridge to stabilize. I'm hoping they drop clear sometime soon, so that I can bottle them without worrying about sediment. The big batch of mead I have going and the batch of acer (my word for maple wine, since it's not really wine) aren't done with the primary yet.

+

I guess that's it..

I did something to a song I'm writing (voice and piano, words: Keats' 'Why did I laugh to-night?'), and it modulated in a way that even I, the composer, didn't expect. I was.. well.. I don't know. I think I was kind of writing in E Phrygian (from E to E using the C major scale), but I was being chromatic about it, and I suddenly ended up in... Eb major? Well, that's okay, it's only a bar long, as a key change, kind of common to do.. but that leads into a bar of A major, which doesn't have an Eb in it, which lead me kind of back into E Phrygian again. Then, because I had a sequence going, I modulated into.. um... Ab minor. Damnit, but it's modal, because I keep needing a G natural. I don't know... why am I even writing music at 2:45 in the morning? ._. I'll post a midi if I finish tonight

Things are as they were cautiously assumed (damn you, and your assumptions). This, however, took a vicious few hours of tickling and snuggling at Kelly's, which only served to reenforce the point. I sensed a tiny conspiracy (conspiriature? conspirette?) between Moondog and Samir (not sure about Kelly, though I guess we had our own, after she bugged me last night), but I'm not going to bother myself with it. Now, however, I'm confused, and this is leading to consternation. Confused and afraid. Moondog's such a beautiful person, and I'm so.. awkward - at least now, I am, after the whole thing with Shan and the other relationships before him - and I don't want her to be hurt by that, or by any other dumb things I do, such as pull a Matt (which is a story for another time). For people well versed in the ways of relationships, I guess this wouldn't be a problem, but I'm having a hard time thinking of how to bring it up to Moondog without out and out appologizing for being a dweeb. I must think, and we must talk more, but I surrender unto sleep

Six Songs of Fancy and Fortune - Wilfrid Holland jwpepper #1388289

+

Also, I ordered the following: +Stevens - Go, Lovely Rose +Joio - Jubilant Song +Whitacre - Water Night +Whitacre - Lux Aurumque (SATB and TTBB) +Whitacre - Cloudburst +Whitacre - Leonardo Dreams of his Flying Machine +Whitacre - She Weeps Over Rahoon +Banchieri - Counterpoint of the Animals +Mozart - Requiem for a Dream +Lasso - Chanson on Dessus Le Marche d'Aras +Smith - Blow the Candles Out +Bardos - Tambur +Chilcott - S'vivon +Thiman - Go Lovely Rose +Monteverdi - S'andasse Amor +Lojeski - Amazing Grace (TTBB)

+

It came to $59.50, and I put $60 in the bank, giving me $62 to play with. However, I was informed that they did not include tax for some reason, so I don't know if I have enough.

+

Also also, roommate moved in. He's tolerable, I guess. Maybe.

+

Also also also, I gave Gabe and Kent each a copy of Stanzas (the MIDI of which I'll post soon) to look at and discussed some more about the composers forum idea we had. Apparently, they used to have a guest composer come each year and some famous ones came. There was posited the idea of having a Composers Festival which would feature a famous composer. It would work like this: First night - a choir concert, standard, except featuring a piece done by the feature composer; second night - same thing for band; third night - composers concert, using pieces by the feature composer as well as by the New Composers Forum (or whatever we plan on calling it - I gotta admit, I like the acronym NCF). Anyway, it's an idea. I'm gonna set up my box as a server and put a forum on it to get things rolling for next year when we get the NCF (or whatever) rolling

Zk | Dating.

+
+

I just saw Hitch, a moving about dating, with Andy. The movie was pretty good, and I liked it, but afterwards, when Andy was driving me home, we had a discussion about dating. It started out about the movie, but sort of ended up with him giving me a bit of a lecture about how dating's not a shuttle launch. I guess that got started when I mentioned that I'm really don't date because I'm afraid I might not live up to my standard or the other person's, so his reaction was understandable, but what I think I MEANT to say was that I was afraid of being a phony. I started to type 'afraid of hurting someone,' but that's not even it, sometimes - more often than some people think - getting hurt's okay. I mean, it's not my GOAL to go out and date people only to dump them, just to be willing to accept pain if it comes, and cherish it ('cause it ALL matters, baby [hee, I just said baby]). But no, I'm afraid of being a phony, and that's why all of the people I've dated have been friends that I've been around for a while - long enough for them to see who I really am. That sounds trite, but it makes sense to me: if you go out on a date with someone you've just been introduced to or maybe met once or twice, even if you're completely honest, you end up being phony, because you end up having to cram your entire personality into three or four hour segments, which just isn't the way I personally work. I guess I'm weird that way, because dating seems to have worked well for plenty of people since our society cut down on the arranged marriages. I need the snippets, the flashes you get of someone in the hall when they're hurrying somewhere, the brief glance of concern or utter joy that sometimes crosses over a person's face, the class time, the work time, the play time, all of that.

+

My problem: by the time I get to know someone well enough to get to the point that I'd date them, either I'm not willing to because I just don't feel that way about them, or I'm swept off my feet and they're straight (common), lesbian (not so much), or not willing to date a friend like that (it happens). It's not even that much of a problem, because I don't mind being single as long as I have some close friends, and the way things have been going, all my methods do is get me damn close friends.

In conclusion, whatev'

Talked to Shan for an hour on the phone tonight. I really miss him. A lot. It's kinda bad that I still like him a year and a half after we broke up, and I don't like it because I really enjoy the feeling of liking someone, even though there's pretty much no possibility of us getting together again ever. We did, however talk about him coming out to Colorado some time soon, though. I'm sure this isn't helping my feelings..

Some people are impossible to read, which is frustrating when they get real close to you, then suddenly stop talking to you for no apparent reason. I'd ask, but saying 'Are you not speaking to me?' sounds - to my ears - like admitting to myself that I'm the center of the universe (however my forte lies in blowing things out of proportion). I hope to find a way to bring it up in a way that suits me as well as the other person.

You, whose greatcoats were lithely streaming, Reminiscent of broad sails, Whose voice and spurs were gaily ringing Like silver bells, Whose eyes, like diamonds, were leaving On hearts their delightful trace, -- The charming fops of vanished being In time and space. With help of heartened aspiration You conquered hearts and rocky walls, -- The kings in every field of action And at the balls. For you -- stiff bread was no wander, And greatest mountains were flats, O, young and passionate commanders Of own fates! In single gallop, fierce and risky, You passed your shortest lives and glow -- And your ambitious curls and whiskers Sank under snow. You all were winning and enjoying And love and edges of a sword... And with a sunny smile were going Out the world.

NATS +Went to sing at NATS in Greeley. We had a whole lot of accompanist problems, including the BEST SINGER EVAR basically getting disqualified because of his accompanist. It was still fun, though. I got to go realize that I don't really like Greeley once again.

Concert +Drove to Boulder after that to go see a concert with my mom. There was a Ravel piece that was really good (ever time I hear a Ravel piece, I always want to hear more, but never remember to find some), and Shostakovich's Cello Concerto, which is teh w00t. The main piece, though, was Mozart's Requiem, which is way cool, even if it was the old completion. The guy next to me had emphezema, though, which was disgusting. He went and smoked during intermission x.x

Living Will +Made a Living Will after my mom showed me how. The whole Terry Shaivo thing got me motivated to get that done.

I was bitching about my roommate, who doesn't seem to understand the concept of courtesy, much less the concept of not getting completely trashed every night, and bitching about the wind, because apparently it's Fort Collins, not Chicago, that's the windy city and I had just showered and it was pretty cold... and then I caught myself checking my hair in the reflection of a display case in the engineering building, and I realized life's pretty damn absurd sometimes :o

If there is someone on your friends list you would like to take, strip naked, tie them to a bed post, lick them until they scream, then fuck them until both of you are senseless and unable to fuck anymore, then wait about five minutes and do it all over again, then post this exact sentence in YOUR journal

Last night, I was very tired, and ended up nearly getting myself, along with Ryan and Shannon, in a car accident, so I went to bed early, at around 8, thinking I'd be up early the next morning. However, that didn't happen, and I woke up around ten. Ah well. Went back to sleep eventually, and woke up around 8. Then 9. Then 10. Eventually I got up and got ready to wait for Moondog, who ended up showing a little late, since Sam had kept her up late doing Tarot readings.

+
More follows... + +
+ +

An uneventful drive down to Denver followed. Well.. uneventful until I ran a red light on accident and had to merge with turning traffic. Ah well. After paying $6 for parking, we headed towards the agility show. She paid for both of us, and we sat down to watch the small dogs on the small course (an array of jumps, and one tube). By the time the big dogs were on the big course (jump, jump, teeter totter, weave poles, tunnel, catwalk, sit table, tunnel, jump, suspended tire, jump, collapsed tunnel, A-frame, jump, jump), we were snuggling, and I was trying to convince her not to kill the people behind us, who were kinda dumb (she knew all the breeds, and they most definately didn't). As they worked back to the small dogs on the big course, we decided to move on to the vendors and take a peek at the show. Never really held hands before, at least not in public, so that was cool.. Got a toy for Jubal.

+

After getting bored at the show, we made our way back to the car, so that I could get us lost in downtown Denver, since Colfax != Auraria. We finally made it to the Wazee supper club, where we sat for the purpose of eating and deciding our next move, which was to go see Big Fish. I forgot what I was doing, and went the wrong way, so we ended up taking 93 back, and I took the opportunity to stop in the house to pick up my jacket and some cloves for Moondog. We went to the theatre by McGuckin's, whereupon we were an hour early for the show. We snugged some there, then outside so she could smoke, then back in, where we ran into Paul ("highschool BOYS in short skirts!!"). In the movie (which was really good, I thought, and Tim-Burton-kind-of-weird), we snugged some more (sense a theme?). It was like a mini-pile, sorta. There was petting and kissing and stuff. A clove on the way home, and then another little mini-pile, which accidentally lasted for an hour (her neck's sensitive, too, hee). I found out why kissing is neat, and decided that I'm not that good at it. First time, oh well. Then she had to leave, so that she could be awake for work tomorrow. Millie barked at her on the way out, and now my mom probably thinks we're doing drugs in the basement.

+

All in all, a very good day. Now, two tylenol, and bed

More roommate troubles. More severe this time. He woke me up at around 5 (from a rather pleasant dream, mind you), and didn't go to bed until 5:45. For those forty-five minutes, he did everthing from spill a bottle of pills on the bathroom floor, inhale some noodles (at least, that's what it sounded like; loud hoovering noises from the other side of the room and a strong smell of Vegetal Bowl Noodle), brush his teeth, and talk to himself. Didn't get back to sleep until 6:30, so I'm a little tired and pissed at the moment. I think we need to have a talk when we're both awake at the same time, and I don't feel like biting his head off.

NMF. +Holy cow things are working out well with this! It's lasted for two sessions now and still going strong, which is more than I can say for some things. We had to write waltzes in lydian modes for this week and Cynthia Fox came in to play them. They were all FREAKIN' AWESOME. No, really. Elliott's especially caught my attention, I hope he continues with the idea. Kent's was like jazzy Chopin, and, if he fixed some small voicing problems and continued with his original theme, has potential to be as good as Elliotts. Gabe's took a simple idea (I II I II I II iii ivo V vi vii) and made it into something simply incredible. Mine was passable. More harmonic than most of the other pieces, but still nice to listen to. For next week, we have to write a peice using the harmonic overtone sequence of a note (8ve, 5th, 4th, M3rd, m3rd, M2nd, m2nd) without a fixed key signature and using the pedal. We also talked about possibilities for other things we can do and guesswhatguesswhat! That idea that I had for doing Spem in Alium flashmob style? Another member already set something like that up, and all of us share the idea of performance music! So, while we might not do a 15 minute long, 40 part motet, there are still some things we can do in a similar fashion. So yeah, good stuff all around ^^

On Thursday night, after class, I went to the Cat with Martha, whereupon I ran into Miranda and Forrest. While expressing some concerns to them regarding Andy, Andy walked up behind me, which was.. weird. Anyway, we goofed around for a while, but then I declared that we needed to talk, because it had been on my mind for a while that, while we had kinda both said we liked each other, nothing had really changed a whole lot. So he offered to drive me home. Via Horsetooth. So we got lost in the mountains for about an hour talking about this and that, almost getting in trouble with the cops for parking in a rest area (!), and eventually freaking out Javon on the hall for.. uh.. some reason :o) During the drive, we figured out a lot of things, and he kinda helped me realize some stuff that I had been keeping hidden from myself. Anyway, long story short, we're dating now - not exclusively, because we've both got concerns about how things will work out - and I feel pretty good about it. Like, almost how I felt about Shan.

The past few days have shown me just how little I know compared to how much I thought I knew. I don't know what egotism makes me think I'm somehow more advanced than others to have that much of life figured out at 19, but it's slowly being dismantled, hopefully for the better. At least, I'm glad. The only problem with it seems to be that I've occasionally been a bit of an ass over the past few days as some part of me clings to whatever shreds of this remain

So I can't register for classes, apparently. My change of major form didn't (?) go through, and so I'm left with Dr. Morrow-King as my advisor, and apparently she hates me, because when I asked for my advising code, she lectured me about not signing up for an advising time and how talking to her in the hall would eventually lead to the thermal death of the universe. I didn't want to be advised, because last time I was advised, I didn't get the classes I wanted, so even though I'll be a sophomore credit-wise next year, I'll still be a freshman class-wise. And you know, that just makes me feel wonderful. So, I signed another goddamned change of major form, and hopefully by the year 2025, I'll be a music education major, on my way to my sophomore year

I'm glad that my educational institution is so lacksidaisical about my education

So.. today's weird c.c; After that fiasco with not being able to sign up for some required classes because I'm apparently still a pre-music major and now I need to get overrides into classes so that I'm not STILL A FRESHMAN, uh.. what was I going to say?

I ordered a tarot deck (plain old Rider Waites to start with) online. I'm not sure how things go in the way of conflicts, but I wanted a sealed one just in case, and I wanted it at a fairly reasonable price. I plan on doing a daily reading thing - draw a card, think about what it represents, and, throughout the day, keep that idea in mind - if only just to learn the cards. I'm starting to see just how tarot 'works,' along with horoscopes and the like; or, at least, how I think they'd work for me. My mom (engineer) always discounted tarot and other 'fortune telling scams' to being too general, and I mostly agreed. I guess I still do, but now I don't see that as such a bad thing. The way I see it, this general meaning/story produced by the reading of the cards isn't so much portentious as a way to help you help yourself When you look at the cards in relation to a specific question, they can help show you a new way to think about it, or perhaps think up some ways to answer the question yourself (the guide I'm reading uses the term Inner Guide, which I think fits quite well).

My Deep Rooted Hatred © of Teh Rev disturbs me. I can understand not liking the man's teaching methods, or even his conversational methods, but lately I've been disliking him as a person, which is something I don't feel all that often. Recently, as in the past few years, I've tried to keep it to just things I dislike about people instead of people themselves, but each day compounds to my disrespect of the man. Mind you, it has little to do with the choirs themselves, since I like singing and he does produce a very good result.. It's just such a painful process getting there.

So.

+

I was awoken once again - this time at 4 AM by my roommate and his "girlie" coming home, and then having sex for an hour. I waited until she went to the bathroom before getting up and grabbing my keys. I told Kenny, "This is the third time this has happened, please make sure that it was also the last."

+

He flipped out. It was kinda scary, actually, but he was apologizing profusely and clearly quite embarassed, saying frantically, "No, brah, no, don't go! I swear! We'll go to sleep right now, I swear! Nah, man, don't go!" I went anyway, saying I'd be back in half an hour. I hung out in RA Ryan's room for about 20 minutes with him and his friend until she left and he just plain passed out (after having been awake for the past 23 hours - understandable) and went back to my room.

+

Kenny was still up and naked, so he rushed to get clothes on while I fiddled around in the bathroom area. He apologized several more times, gave me a high five, in case that might help, and we all went happily to sleep.

I guess it really is too much to expect, caring for someone and expecting acknowledgement. I keep telling myself, "Maybe it's like he says, and he just doesn't show his emotions that much." But that doesn't really make it any easier.

I shall write a song with that as a title. Thanks to Alia.. Alea.. Kindra's sister; Umlauts make me cry / diacritics make me die / es-tsets I can deal with / along with thorn and edh / but, lord only knows / umlauts make me cry. Bluesey, ne? (Is 'ne' a remnant from latin? Some Euro-folks use no as a question word, is that from the latin ne?) Needs work, though.

+

I was all excited today, 'cause I was gonna see Moondog. Of course, I did, and it was exciting, but there was a Problem with Kelly about which I knew next to nothing, so that put a bit of a damper on the evening. That's between Moondog and Kelly, though, and I'll let them work it out. Mostly, however, Moondog just tickled me (or tried to, depending on how on my guard I was) and/or (poor wasn't feeling so hot and didn't come.. luv). The night ended with her having a big argument with Kelly and coming out of it rather worse for the wear. We parted soon after, and now I'm kinda worried for her. I'm hoping she'll be alright.

+

Tuesday, Moondog asked if we were 'together', for lack of a better word, and, since I'm pretty sure I feel that way, I said yes, but upon reading her journal (one of my daily rituals is to read everyone's journal, even if there's nothing new OCD) I found out she's going through some of the same fears I am (mainly of hurting/being hurt by someone), though she seems to be having a tougher time of it. To be honest, I've mostly been distracted; too much Revier and school. Even so, though, I'm gonna try not to focus on that. I'd rather just try and be the best I can for her, so that, hopefully, we don't have to deal with those fears luv. Also, she asked (today at coffee) whether or not we should be open about the whole.. relationship (mateship? Is mate a good word in this case?) thing at OASOS. I wasn't sure then, but now I suppose that it'd be alright with me. It's not like it isn't fairly obvious already; and besides, it's a good thing, a happy thing, and I don't think hiding it's particularly useful.. Hopefully, though, there aren't any that will react like Danny did: rather violently.

+

Other than that, today was an agonizing stretch of Revier all the way through, interspersed with depressing moments of math and bio. Tomorrow is the fourth quarter run-through, so I have to actually stay. Save me.

Der Kübelreiter +Der Kübelreiter + +Verbraucht alle Kohle; leer der Kübel; sinnlos die Schaufel; Kälte atmend der Ofen; das Zimmer vollgeblasen von Frost; vor dem Fenster Bäume starr im Reif; der Himmel, ein silberner Schild gegen den, der von ihm Hilfe will. Ich muß Kohle haben; ich darf doch nicht erfrieren; hinter mir der erbarmungslose Ofen, vor mir der Himmel ebenso; infolgedessen muß ich scharf zwischendurch reiten und in der Mitte beim Kohlenhändler Hilfe suchen. Gegen meine gewöhnlichen Bitten aber ist er schon abgestumpft; ich muß ihm ganz genau nachweisen, daß ich kein einziges Kohlenstäubchen mehr habe und daß er daher für mich geradezu die Sonne am Firmament bedeutet. Ich muß kommen, wie der Bettler, der röchelnd vor Hunger an der Türschwelle verenden will und dem deshalb die Herrschaftsköchin den Bodensatz des letzten Kaffees einzuflößen sich entscheidet; ebenso muß mir der Händler, wütend, aber unter dem Strahl des Gebotes "Du sollst nicht töten!" eine Schaufel voll in den Kübel schleudern. + +Meine Auffahrt schon muß es entscheiden; ich reite deshalb auf dem Kübel hin. Als Kübelreiter, die Hand oben am Griff, dem einfachsten Zaumzeug, drehe ich mich beschwerlich die Treppe hinab; unten aber steigt mein Kübel auf, prächtig, prächtig; Kameele, niedrig am Boden hingelagert, steigen, sich schüttelnd unter dem Stock des Führers, nicht schöner auf. Durch die fest gefrorene Gasse geht es in ebenmäßigem Trab; oft werde ich bis zur Höhe der ersten Stockwerke gehoben; niemals sinke ich bis zur Haustüre hinab. Und außergewöhnlich hoch schwebe ich vor dem Kellergewölbe des Händlers, in dem er tief unten an seinem Tischchen kauert und schreibt; um die übergroße Hitze abzulassen, hat er die Tür geöffnet. + +"Kohlenhändler! " rufe ich mit vor Kälte hohl gebrannter Stimme, in Rauchwolken des Atems gehüllt, "bitte Kohlenhändler, gib mir ein wenig Kohle. Mein Kübel ist schon so leer, daß ich auf ihm reiten kann. Sei so gut. Bis ich kann, bezahl ichs." + +Der Händler legt die Hand ans Ohr. "Hör ich recht?" fragt er über die Schulter weg seine Frau, die auf der Ofenbank strickt, "hör ich recht? Eine Kundschaft. " + +"Ich höre gar nichts", sagt die Frau, ruhig aus- und einatmend über den Stricknadeln, wohlig im Rücken gewärmt. + +"0 ja", rufe ich, "ich bin es; eine alte Kundschaft; treu ergeben; nur augenblicklich mittellos. " + +"Frau", sagt der Händler, "es ist, es ist jemand; so sehr kann ich mich doch nicht täuschen; eine alte, eine sehr alte Kundschaft muß es sein, die mir so zum Herzen zu sprechen weiß." + +"Was hast du, Mann?" sagt die Frau und drückt, einen Augenblick ausruhend, die Handarbeit an die Brust, "niemand ist es; die Gasse ist leer; alle unsere Kundschaft ist versorgt; wir könnten für Tage das Geschäft sperren und ausruhn. " + +"Aber ich sitze doch hier auf dem Kübel", rufe ich und gefühllose Tränen der Kälte verschleiern mir die Augen, "bitte seht doch herauf; Ihr werdet mich gleich entdecken; um eine Schaufel voll bitte ich; und gebt Ihr zwei, macht Ihr mich überglücklich. Es ist doch schon alle übrige Kundschaft versorgt. Ach, hörte ich es doch schon in dem Kübel klappern!" + +"Ich komme", sagt der Händler und kurzbeinig will er die Kellertreppe emporsteigen, aber die Frau ist schon bei ihm, hält ihn beim Arm fest und sagt: "Du bleibst. Läßt du von deinem Eigensinn nicht ab, so gehe ich hinauf. Erinnere dich an deinen schweren Husten heute nachts. Aber für ein Geschäft und sei es auch ein eingebildetes, vergißt du Frau und Kind und opferst deine Lungen. Ich gehe. " "Dann nenn ihm aber alle Sorten, die wir auf Lager haben; die Preise rufe ich dir nach." "Gut", sagt die Frau und steigt zur Gasse auf. Natürlich sieht sie mich gleich. + +"Frau Kohlenhändlerin", rufe ich, "ergebenen Gruß; nur eine Schaufel Kohle; gleich hier in den Kübel; ich führe sie selbst nach Hause; eine Schaufel von der schlechtesten. Ich bezahle sie natürlich voll, aber nicht gleich, nicht gleich." Was für ein Glockenklang sind die zwei Worte "nicht gleich" und wie sinnverwirrend mischen sie sich mit dem Abendläuten, das eben vom nahen Kirchturm zu hören ist. + +"Was will er also haben?" ruft der Händler. "Nichts", ruft die Frau zurück, "es ist ja nichts; ich sehe nichts, ich höre nichts; nur sechs Uhr läutet es und wir schließen. Ungeheuer ist die Kälte; morgen werden wir wahrscheinlich doch viel Arbeit haben. " + +Sie sieht nichts und hört nichts; aber dennoch löst sie das Schürzenband und versucht mich mit der Schürze fortzuwehen. Leider gelingt es. Alle Vorzüge eines guten Reittieres hat mein Kübel; Widerstandskraft hat er nicht; zu leicht ist er; eine Frauenschürze jagt ihm die Beine vom Boden. + +"Du Böse!" rufe ich noch zurück, während sie, zum Geschäft sich wendend, halb verächtlich, halb befriedigt mit der Hand in die Luft schlägt, "du Böse! Um eine Schaufel von der schlechtesten habe ich gebeten und du hast sie mir nicht gegeben." Und damit steige ich in die Regionen der Eisgebirge und verliere mich auf Nimmerwiedersehn. + +Revision: 2004/11/05 - 12:01 - © Mauro Nervi +(I don't think I'm allowed to post the English, but I'll check around for a copyright-less version.) + +

Just spent like.. forty-five or so minutes walking around campus and talking to myself (and my tape recorder). I've decided that music is awful and horrible and I absolutely love it for one, big, Discordian reason: you're taking something that - for me - is completely chaotic, emotive, and only based in logic on the most rudimentary levels, and forcing it into the complete order and rigidity of math, only to try and return it to it's original state; fitting emotion into black notes on a white page, for other people to reconstitute into it's original, emotive self.

+

This has been a big problem for me as a composer, the first step. Especially so now that I don't have the aural feedback that I did with Sibelius on my laptop. Having to somehow force my emotions out through my pencil onto staff paper is proving difficult and misguided at best. So what I just did was sort of a stream of consciousness exercise: I walked around campus and talked continuously about "The Bucket Rider" until I slipped into that half-conscious stream-of-thought state that comes with such exercises, and found that I quite easily just described the entire piece from beginning to end.

+

Now all I need to do is translate that into black notes on a white page, which will mean first transcribing my tape (boring at best), then taking the transcription and turning it into a complete idea of a song, then taking that and writing the song from it. So, basically, doing the impossible. Oh well, I have until November 11th to complete this and mail the score out to wotsits, the competition. I'll keep you updated, because if there's anything you want to hear about, it's my stupid music :

This song makes me see an orange sunset from a bright red sun, from the point of view of an aircraft of some sort, miles above the earth, somehow disconnected from the scene, yet every bit an integral part. +Music is our religion. +What else can make us see? +Our eyes. +Shut up. I wish that I could express this to some people. Others just understand, and others just don't need to know. It's just that the musical/emotional/situational memory is such a wonderful thing. Also, when I listen to this song, I'm reminded of reading Endymion at 3am here at school, then walking out on the oval. When I listen to Tallis' Spem in Alium, I'm in the basement of my old house in my bed at 10am watching the light on my walls. When I listen to Vaughn Williams' Fantasia on a Theme by Tallis, I'm reading Hyperion for the first time in my room at the old townhouse uphill from Fairview, thinking how the wind makes me feel like I'm flying. +What reminds you of me? +A clip of opera from.. uh..

Urg. After yesterday being what it was, going to school was exactly what I didn't want to be doing today, but I had to for some reason or another. I got there early for sectionals, where we got in trouble with Revier for not doing a whole lot. After that, I followed Shannon to art instead of going to public speaking. I hung around there with Shannon and Ryan until I was justafiably kicked out by Ms. Harmon. The whole time, Ryan was trying to convince me to go home, 'cause I felt like smoo. So I took his advice and went back home instead of continuing on to public speaking.

+

At home, things came down in a tumble on me (metaphorically). I felt like something just hasn't been right for the last few weeks, like I'm pretending to be someone I'm not. Conflicting with that was the thought that perhaps I'm just starting to see what I really am and let that be seen, instead of hiding behind this avatar of normality. There were other thoughts, about Shannon and Wendy and Ryan and choir, and before I knew it, I had a good sized slice on my left arm, and a razor blade in my right hand. It's been a long time since I've cut myself, and I can't believe I did it today. Luckily, it was a clean and shallow one that I should be able to hide easily with long sleeves. I'm still not sure why the hell I did that, but oh well. What's done is done.

+

After that dumb escapade, I showered and went to lie down, planning on waking up in time for fourth period so that I wouldn't miss that. However, I gave up on that plan and turned off my alarm clock, figuring I'd get up in time for closer rehearsal. My mom woke me up at around 11:40 (about when lunch ends), and asked if I'd caught that cold that was going around. Not willing to explain, I just nodded, and she went ahead and excused me for the day. I ended up waking up again at around one, so I got up, wolfed down some miso, and headed off to creative writing so that I could turn in my essay (which I decided to make about the dog show last sunday) and watch a creepy video about balloons. By closer, I started to cheer up some, but I was still tired, as I am even now. Closer went fine, as did the Act I 4th Quarter rehearsal today, which Insomniac was in.

+

Now I'm working on bio homework and pondering tomorrow. Have my flute speech then. I need to talk to Moondog about maybe doing something next weekend, since I won't be able to see her wednesday ( and , I shan't be able to drive you to group, since I've got rehearsal until way late), and my mom will be out of town then. Then until next tuesday.. Hmm.. and I've got a friday off in there somewhere, too.

  1. Leave me a comment saying, "Interview me"
    2. +
  2. I will respond by asking you five questions. I get to pick the questions.
    3. +
  3. You will update your LJ with the answers to the questions.
    4. +
  4. You will include this explanation and an offer to interview someone else in the same post.
    5. +
  5. When others comment asking to be interviewed, you will ask them five questions.
    6. +
+

These questions come to me from :

+

1) What makes you happier than anything else? +"Whatever suits you tickles me plum to death." -W. Jensen

+

I'd be boring if that was the only thing, however important it is - mead, music, people, fuzzies (certain ones especially), subtlety, and plenty more mundane things.

+

2) What was it like coming out to yourself, and how did you handle that? +Oh gosh.. that happened a long time ago. I guess I was mostly confused, and it felt nice to finally figure out what was really going on, but there wasn't a whole lot of emotion surrounding it (at least, not enough for an emotional memory). Most of the emotion seemed to involve thinking too much about what would happen if I ever came out to anyone else - particularly parents.

+

3. How and why did your involvement with Furry start? +Hehe.. right before freshman year of highschool, I found Yerf. Around the same time, I was a moderator on a bulletin board called GovTeen (which later lead to my mom divorcing my stepdad, which is another, slightly more hilarious story) on which a few of my friends were furries. I guess through a combination of those, I really kinda got started - then introduced a few of my friends to the fandom. As for why.. um.. I'm not sure. I think it just sorta started as an interest that ended up clicking.

+

4) If you could pick one thing to be remembered for, what would it be? +It'd be cool to be remembered for my music, but it would mean more to me to be remembered by the individuals that I affected the most; for some, maybe that is through my music, I guess.

+

5) Why a fox? +Oh gosh.. I actually started as a dragon forever ago, but, to be honest, I changed it because no one was paying attention to me on GovTeen. I changed it to a fox because I'd always thought they were pretty neat, not because I had any particular connection to them. A few weeks ago, I was at a cafe with Andy and a few (furry) friends of mine trying to figure out an animal for Andy. He didn't understand, so when we all went around explaining why we picked the animals we did, pretty much everyone at the table - including me - decided that I was really an otter. However, I don't think my foxly status will change, simply because I've settled into it and I am, needless to say, quite happy with that ^.

Things have been alright since we moved, I guess. I've been happy for a good percentage of the time - somewhere above 50% - and I've been sleeping enough too much. There's a constant battle being fought in the kitchen against the Alliance of Dirty Dishes (I don't fight nearly as much as I should), and another front, in my room, is being fought against Ennui.

I lost a bottle of apricot wine today. I had backsweetened it because it was bland, and put it in the fridge to cold stabilize. I thought my mom was coming up, so I moved my whole meadery to my closet, just in case she wasn't that supportive, including the bottle of wine we have left, and all of my finished product. I guess the yeast in the apricot wine hadn't gone dormant, though, because they started eating the honey I sweetened with and making CO2. This morning, I woke up to what sounded like a faucet running on a really fast trickle, but dripping really slowly inside my wall. I was afraid it was a leak, but when I opened my closet, I saw the apricot wine had pushed open the cap just enough to push out some excess gas and drip a bunch of foam onto my floor in the process. In all, I was pretty lucky. Had I been using something other than a swingtop bottle, it probably would've just exploded :o

Just got off the phone, sounds as if my laptop's pretty much gone. He pulled the hard drive and hooked that to a different computer - nothing. Lost a bunch of music and all of my writing, but luckily, I have my scores backed up (I hope). Next, he tried plugging a new hard drive in - no dice. So, either the ribbon cable connecting the hard drive to the logic board is bad (lets hope and pray), or the logic board itself is bad. If the latter case is true, it'd just be more worthwhile to get a new laptop and sell this old one on ebay for $500 or whatever (everything else still works, if someone's willing to put money into it, they're welcome to, but with a logic board, it'd be about the same as getting a new one - maybe they can fix it up and resell it for more) and put the money down towards the new one. Mom's willing to help me with all of this, but that'll be like.. my first several paychecks if I get the work study position. Oh well.. just when I was getting interested in writing again, too.

Today flew by. Mostly.

+

Excal: sucked. +Public speaking: did my flute speech, sucked, but not as bad. +Math: sat around, bitched, whined. Didn't suck all that much. +History: took notes, tried to hide in the crook of my elbow from Carl. +Festival: quite fun, actually; 's solothing sounded really good. +Latin: went, then left and hung out with and . Hey, she told me to leave.. +Bio: went, then left. Hey, the room stunk, and she told us to leave.. +Creative writing: read children's books out loud. +After: Dan was giving brief, probably not very well thought out tarot readings in the hall for money. I watched a little, then waited for for a while, then drifted to the balcony to see about some hullabaloo. Revier was hanging out with choirgeeks, but it smelled like bad feta, so I left. Drove to my dad's after that, where I sat around and thought about tarot and fuzzies.

+

None of the stuff I've ordered has come yet. Two All-State CDs, an All-State DVD, an All-State hoodie, a FLCL DVD, and two tarot decks (mind you, I only ordered one of them about an hour ago.. :oP). It makes me feel kinda bad. I shelled out the cash, and it seems like for nothing. I bet I'll get a bunch of stuff at once, and it'll feel really neat then.

+

Last night, Moondog and I talked about sex. Aaaand.. there's not a whole lot to write about there. I don't think so, at least. I'm tired, and the log's at my mom's. Not that it's any of your business, anyway ^^ Well, maybe it is, I don't know.

+

Finally, a spread: +

Boring hereafter.

+

+ +A seventy-eight card spread - described below for your reading enjoy...ment.. or something. +
+Ranna's Wheel:
+Time keeps on slippin', slippin', slippin' into the future, so the three
+wheels are really the same wheel depicted throughout time.  The cards are laid
+out from past to future because, as you work from past to future, the
+possibilities for occurences to happen lessen, as do the possibilities of
+cards in the remaining deck.  The past and future wheels roll away from the
+present, in the way the cards are laid out (counter-clockwise for past,
+clockwise for future).  This is a work in progress.

+
3 sets of circles: past, present, future
+Concentric circles: internal, external, chaos
+Two cards as dynamics in circles

+
78/3 = 26
+       -2 (dynamics +)
+     = 24
+       -4 (chaos *)
+     = 20
+       -8 (external x)
+     = 12
+      -12 (internal o)

+
   PAST               PRESENT             FUTURE
+
+     o                   o                   o
+  o  x  o             o  x  o             o  x  o
+

+
+
+
o  x  *  x  o       o  x  *  x  o       o  x  *  x  o
+ o  x  * + *  x  o   o  x  * + *  x  o   o  x  * + *  x  o

+         o                   o                   o

+
Placement:
+Past: Chaos ring is placed first, starting at the top and working
+counter-clockwise.  Next, the horizontal card of dynamic is placed.
+Then the external ring is placed, starting at the top and working
+counter-clockwise.  Following that, the vertical card of the dynamic is
+placed.  Finally, the internal ring is placed, starting at the top and working
+counter-clockwise.

+
Present: Chaos ring is placed first, starting with the top card, then the
+bottom, then the left, then the right.  Next, the vertical card of the dynamic
+is placed.  Then the external ring is placed, starting with the top card, then
+bottom, then left, then right, then upper left, then lower right, then upper
+right, then lower left.  Following that, the horizontal card of the dynamic is
+placed.  Finally, the internal ring is placed, starting with the top card,
+then bottom, then the upper left top, then the lower right bottom, then the
+upper right top, then the lower left bottom, then then lower left top, then
+upper right bottom, then lower right top, then upper left bottom, and finally,
+leftmost, then rightmost. (basically, top-bottom, then the X made by the four
+cards closest to the top and bottom cards, then the X made by the four cards
+closest to the righ and left cards, then right-left)

+
Future: Chaos ring is placed first, starting at the top and working clockwise.
+Next, the vertical card of dynamic is placed.  Then the external ring is
+placed, starting at the top and working clockwise.  Following that, the
+horizontal card of the dynamic is placed.  Finally, the internal ring is
+placed, starting at the top and working clockwise.

+
Reading:
+Read in order of placement.  The chaos ring deals with variables that are
+caused more by chaos, rather than intention, i.e. unintended reactions.  The
+external ring deals with external influences acting against the subject.  The
+internal ring deals with variables relating to the Self.  The irony is not
+lost on me that there are fewer chaotic variables than internal, and that the
+internal ring is outside of the external.

+
This section has yet to be completed.  I need to flesh out what the placement
+of the cards mean, pretty much.  Axes to organize things, so that card positions
+apply to all three rings.  Must think on this a little more deeply.

So it turns out that it wasn't the logic board that was bad in my computer, just the cable that connected the hard drive to it. Which means, instead of paying about what the computer is worth to fix the problem, I'll only be paying $285. Awesome. That should be much easier for me to handle than buying a new one.

I owe it to myself to write some shit down before I either forget or go insane.

+
So yeah, con report follows. +Wednesday night I was going to go see in Denver, but that didn't work out, mostly because of how early I had to get up the next morning. A shame, really.. I don't know if I'll get the chance again. <33333 + +Thursday morning, I got up - well, since I didn't technically sleep, I left - at about 4:30 AM for DIA. I was going to park at Market St. Station and take the bus to the airport, but there's no parking there, so I gave up and just drove. Long term parking's a bitch. When I got there, I decided it would probably be a bad idea to bring along the two bottles of mead I was packing, so I left them hidden in the car. The flight sucked, filled as it was with sleepiness, diuresis from coffee, and doubts of what the hell I was getting myself into. + +Things cleared up, though, when I got to PHL. picked me up again, and it was good to see him again, even though we ended up getting lost in New Jersey. We made it to the hotel safely, though, and I met up almost immediately with part of the group I was to spend much of the con with, , , , and . I also met for the first time , who was neat, and I saw from afar (he's quite easy to pick out, as long as he's standing up). I also ran into in the lobby, and he sounded disappointed in my lack of mead, for which I apologized profusely. Up at the room, I saw , which was pretty cool. I think somewhere in there, I ran into in the elevator. Omigoshbrushwithfame. + +I got through registration fairly painlessly, whereupon I met , who was not at all as I expected: easily twice as cool. The rest of the day seemed to involve eating at Rex Pizza, sorting out room drama with Jim and with the urging of TealFox. After that, the room ended up containing me, Rikoshi, Randall, and , who I didn't really meet properly until the next day, when he woke up. Jim gave me a pair of paws, which I really quite like. I brought my tail, but only wore it for about an hour, on Saturday. + +Friday was the first real day of the con, and I was thusly overwhelmed. We started with breakfast with the group - the waiter was awesome, even if he did poke fun at me - before getting in line to go to the Dealer's Den/Artist's Alley. Rikoshi, with whom I got along famously, went to get some sketchbook stuff, and I inadvertantly got separated from him after getting my silly fox-badge laminated. It worked out fine, though, as there was some awesome stuff in the three large rooms they had set up. In the Artist's Alley, I met again, as well as (a wonderful surprise) and (another surprise). Some time in there - I think while I was waiting for Rikoshi - I talked to . I really wish I would've hung out with him more, as well as Kiswara (ottahs!), but.. I dunno.. I got pretty overwhelmed and hid in the group for protection. Sorry otters. + +Later, lunch was had - again at Rex - followed by a panel lead by on pet emergencies, wherein a skunk girl talked volumes on her bunnies. Afterwrads.. um.. I think we gathered up on the ballroom level and sat around for a while, waiting for 's Story Hour (and three-quarters). There, I met .. maybe? It's hazy. After a.. rather talkative dinner with the group + Rynden and, for a minute or two, Feyarh, Rikkyfox, Teal, and I went to hear the stories. There was talk of frozen body parts, AC's past and future, and going blind. I think after that, we wound things down and went to bed, but the room party I vaguely remember happening Saturday night might've happened friday night (my recollection is that, since Andreal didn't see the story hour, but was at the room party, where as Teal wasn't, it must've been saturday. Oh dear..) + +Saturday, I was starting to get ahold of the whole 2000+ furries thing. This was my day of hanging and wandering. I only went to one event during the day - the second half of Otterdoc's panel on the human-animal bond, with skunk girl part II - return of the son of bunnies. More wandering followed - some time spent with Taxus, some with Rynden, a call to Wish. I'm sure lunch and dinner were had in there, somewhere, but I don't remember where. Also, I commissioned a badge off n, and bought a copy of Demon Hunter from Fel, who was cool (as was Greenmonkey, really). + +After such activities, we made our way back to the main ballroom for 2's performance, catching the tail end (hah hah) of the Masquerade, which.. didn't make any sense at all. Guess I'd have to be a fursuiter. 2's opener, SpazFox, was alright, but 2 was downright awesome. His rants are funny and all, but damn, when he gets going on a routine, he's hilarious :o) I think after that we did that room party thing. There were too many people there to remember - at least, besides Rikoshi, Andreal, and Rev - but I think I recall Kurt, James, maybe Turbine Divinity.. At one point, Rikoshi's simply awful story was read aloud - laughter ensued, bed followed. + +Sunday was the last real day of the con. Breakfast at Dunkin' Donuts, with good coffee, lunch at Tir na Nog (I think), an Irish restuarant, which was good.. After listening to more absolutely terrible stories at the Iron Author II panel, I got my camera out for a while to get some pictures while I still could. Danny showed up mid-afternoon, but we agreed to meet up after the closing ceremonies, which were pretty funny (we left before the gripe session). I did my best to introduce people by both real and furry names. Throughout the weekend, I had avoided using names too often, 'cause even though I knew and remembered everyone's name, it was hard not to think of Rikoshi as Rikoshi, or TealFox as TealFox. Dinner was had with with Rikoshi, Teal, Andreal, Feyarh, Vandringar, , Ben, and Danny. Fun was had. + +After dinner, I spent some time with Danny. It was nice to finally get to meet him, though that night wasn't particularly pleasurable for various reasons I don't feel like writing about. I had planned on staying the night in his room, but ended up going back to lay on Teal and Andreal's floor for a while, then talked with Rikoshi for another while before sleep was had, back in my own room. That night - the whole of it, not just the part with Danny - is still something I'm trying to digest. + +Monday was interesting. The crowd was thinned out quite a bit, but there were still several furs meandering about the hotel, particularly with large stacks of luggage and cream-colored Anthrocon bags filled with art. I got my badge, which makes me look like an asshole, which is actually pretty cool. I met up with Danny again for a little bit, but ended up heading out for a day in Philly with Rikky, Teal, and Andreal - we all needed to get out of the hotel for a bit. We wandered through part of a really strange shopping mall, which seemed to be about three blocks long, continuing underground, whereas above-ground it seemed like several different buildings. On the way back to the hotel, we stopped at a fountain and cooled off in the spray. + +A few difficult good-byes were had at the hotel before I left. I spent most of the trip home reading, listening to music, writing music - anything to keep my mind off PCD. It eventually caught up to me, of course, and I had a tough night at home and a rather tough next day. + +I'm still recovering from the whole experience. Although, maybe I'm not. Maybe it really was life-changing and all that, though things often seem life changing, but you end up just absorbing them in the end anyway. I'd really like to think it was, though: I met some wonderful people, and experienced being part of a community up close - something I've never really felt before. It's made my summer difficult, because everything else seems dull and washed out in comparison, even people (something with which I'm struggling currently). + +This last friday at the furmeet, I caught a little glimpse of the whole experience again. It helped, of course, that we went out to coffee afterwards wearing tails, and TekFox (who did a show at AC) showed up in his full suit - kind of like I'm easing back into real life with smaller and smaller dosages of furry. Even in our little microcosm of 5-10 Fort Collins furs, the feeling of community was there. I know I sound like I'm rambling in Boulder-influenced bullshit, but I don't know how else to call it. + +Along the same vein, I've been spending a good deal of time with Shan. It feels nice, because we're still close, even though we have the knowledge that nothing's really going to happen. It's like a real friend, with no fears or anything that there's something to be ended, because what was there is already in the past. More babble, sorry. + +Actually, I'm just going to end this before I do that any more. + + +
+ +

In other news, I got my laptop back, and started working on my wind band piece. Also, I made a thick version of chicken soup tonight, more like a gravy with all sorts of stuff in it, that I served over flavored rice. Like a Medeterranian curry. It came out pretty well, but now we're nearly out of food. (The leftovers are absolutely fabulous over crackers.

I think that this is the reason I cannot deal with drugs, and have a hard time dealing with being physically sick: the first removes that ability completely (and thus drives me insane, for however long a period), and the second reminds me of weakness in this keystone (not that there is one; I understand that many times, physical sickness is unavoidable, but the connection is there, somewhere in my sub- or unconscious). + +More to the point, this endless boredom gnawing at me, even if I find something to occupy my time, has me thinking a lot and has, in turn, worn away at my acceptance to the point where, when I was trying to sleep tonight, I had to force myself to backtrack along twisted trains of thought to disentangle myself from my own web of angsty confusion. One of my habits when I get myself lost like that is to envision scenarios involving one or the other of the parties hurt, dead, or otherwise incapacitated and focusing on the other party's reaction. Now that I'm calm, I have to rethink all of those potential conversations without having to balance in pity, despair, shared pain and all that other baggage. As it stands, no problems have been solved by all this work, and I don't expect they will be for quite a while; a thought which leads me to thinking I'd be better off sleeping, which led briefly to thoughts of a more permanent sleep. + +And I thought I was over all that :o) + +Anyway, I think that this Korea trip will help a good deal, even though I'm dreading that tonic: absence. Ten days of little-to-no computer, no phone service, and thirty-six other music geeks, none of whom particularly know I'm gay, furry, a geek, or any of the other little things that come with being in such a tightly knit group, all in a country where English is the second language. My hope is that this balm will be the bane of boredom-encumbered thoughtfulness, and that maybe I'll be able to accept what seems to be a growing unbalance in my emotional relationships. Something which, at this moment, seems to me to be utterly distant, insubstantial, and all-too-depressing, what with such things playing a huge role in my life. + +In short: I'm bored, which has be thinking about what I mean to people and what they mean to me in all the wrong ways, only to realize that and try to think of them in different ways, which are also probably wrong. Introspection's a real bitch. :D + +Anyway, you know I love you all, and well all know things will never "work out, for better or for worst," but will keep on changing, indifferent to it all. + +

The saga of my life continues, now with increased boredom. I spent my day cooking and cleaning, making fancy ramen for myself and thinking myself in circles. Sleeping. Toddy coffee is good, but I made the concentrate a little weak out of impatience, I suppose. I wish I could pin down my thoughts for an hour or so, if only for the sake of rest, but the closest I can come is reading and escapism, which tend to be the same, for me. Sometimes I feel like a stalker.

+

Addendum: Our landlords left on one of the lights in the downstairs apartment while showing it to a group. At first, it freaked me out, thinking that there might be someone in there, but then it just seemed kinda sad. I could explain why, but I'm not going to.

Heh, okay, this is kinda cool. I mean, I'm not a druggie, really - the last time I smoked pot, I went through all sorts of psychosomatic trauma (sure, I brought it upon myself, but that didn't make it any less traumatic, now did it?) ('it', in the last parenthetical remark, can be taken to mean both the pot, and the trauma) - but I enjoy reading about the stuff an awful lot, and humor's humor, no matter what. Besides, "Your bounty has fed our hunger, made our tummies warm and our thoughts turn to snuggling" makes me think of a dinner party comprised of foxes, perhaps involving the Sacrament of Cake.

Looks like I won't be able to go to Korea, thanks to some major fuckups at the Chicago passport processing office.

It was after Muke's, at Alley Cat, that cheered me up the most, what with gasp actually getting to sit on someone's lap for a change (hard to do when you're 6'2"), and Fuchs, Bel, and I crashed for a while on the beanbag. The simple physical attention made it quite easy to put my predicament in context with, you know, reality. Anyhoo, I kinda miss it, now that I'm home, simply because my body's doing weird things; for instance, it feels as if I'm leaning back against someone breathing - even when I hold my breath, the pulse continues. Also, it feels like I've got someone's arms draped over my shoulders. It's kinda cool, kinda loneliness-inducing. Whatever, I'm content.

It's beautiful. Other than that, I'm about ready to go home, I think. There's some weird dynamic in the group that I have yet to understand, having been with them for only a short time.

I've been in Incheon, Seoul, and Yeong Wol, South Korea for the past couple days on a choir tour and wasn't particularly expecting to hear any Whitacre. Just today, though, I checked my email and found out that my grandmother had passed away (a relief - she's at peace now). I was feeling a little.. blank about it, until we got to the church we would be singing our final concert at just in time to hear the Incheon City Chorale warming up. With "When David Heard."

+

So yeah, that was kinda tough c.c

During the performance that followed, I was flooded with memories, particularly during the Martin peice. When I first visited the CSU choirs during rehearsal, I heard Chamber Singers singing that.

You know, Dr. Kim is pretty cool. He was talking in Korea about how some of his colleagues and friends, both in Korea and America look down on him for associating with the students (e.g.: going drinking with the freshmen in Korea and showing them how to do a Korean carbomb), as if teachers really aren't supposed to be involved with their pupils at all, fullstop. I like it, though, even if he's making fun of me (he has the class start out by everyone giving eachother backrubs, which, on most days, hurt for me 'cause my skin's all screwy - he says it's because I'm a sensitive guy): rarely do auditions really help me, but every time I audition for him, I learn something new, though he's never outright taught me, as if he knows just what to say for me to figure things out for myself.

So, like, I understand and outright encourage callbacks for Chamber Singers - I want it to be the best group possible, even if that means I'm not in it. I also understand mistakes - there were four Matts (three with S last names, one of which had the same middle name as me) on the Korea trip. I still feel a little bad, though, that my name, Matthew Joseph Scott, got written on the final list for the choir by accident instead of Matthew Joseph Simms' name. It was kinda tough when Dr. Kim had me change the list instead of him.

GERONIMO: If we take fifty-two from sixty-four, we get twelve; five years you spent in Holland, seventeen; seven years spent in England, twenty-four; eight years in Rome, thirty-two; and if to thirty-two we add your age when we first became acquainted, we have exactly fifty-two. So that, Mr. Sganarelle, according to your own confession, you are between fifty-two and fifty-three years of age. The calculation is exact enough. Now, I will tell you frankly, as a friend--according to the promise you made me give you--that marriage would suit you but little. Marriage is a thing about which young people ought to think long and seriously before they risk themselves, but of which people of your age ought not to think at all; and if, as some say, the greatest folly a man can commit is to marry, I know nothing more preposterous than to commit such a folly at a time of life when we should be most prudent. In short, to speak to you plainly, I advise you not to marry; and I should think you very ridiculous if, after having remained free up to your time of life, you were now to burden yourself with the heaviest of all chains. [Pause.] What's that? You're in love with her? Ah! That's quite another thing. You didn't tell me that. By all means marry, then; I haven't another word to say.

SGANARELLE: No, I tell you; they made a doctor of me in spite of myself. I had never dreamt of being so learned as that, and all my studies came to an end in the lowest form. I can't imagine what put that whim into their heads; but when I saw that they were resolved to force me to be a doctor, I made up my mind to be one at the expense of those I might have to do with. Yet you would hardly believe how the error has spread abroad, and how everyone is obstinately determined to see a great doctor in me. They come to fetch me from right and left; and if things go on in that fashion, I think I had better stick to physic all my life. I find it the best of trades; for, whether we are right or wrong, we are paid equally well. We are never responsible for the bad work, and we cut away as we please in the stuff we work on. A shoe maker in making shoes can't spoil a scrap of leather without having to pay for it, but we can spoil a man without paying one farthing for the damage done. The blunders are not ours, and the fault is always that of the dead man. In short, the best part of this profession is, that there exists among the dead an honesty, a discretion that nothing can surpass; and never as yet has one been known to complain of the doctor who had killed him.

MENAECHMUS: If you weren't mean, if you weren't stupid, if you weren't a violent virago, what you see displeases your husband would be displeasing to you, too. Now mark my words, if you act like this toward me after today, you shall hie yourself home to your father as a divorcee. Why, whenever I want to go out, you catch hold of me, call me back, cross-question me as to where I'm going, what I'm doing, what business I have in hand, what I'm after, what I've got, what I did when I was out. I've married a custom-house officer, judging from the way everything--all I've done and am doing--must be declared. I've pampered you too much; now then, I'll state my future policy. Inasmuch as I keep you well provided with maids, food, woollen cloth, jewelry, coverlets, purple dresses, and you lack for nothing, you will look out for trouble if you're wise, and cease spying on your husband. [in a lower tone as his wife goes back inside] And furthermore, that you may not watch me for nothing, I'll reward your diligence by taking a wench to dinner and inviting myself out somewhere. Hurrah! By Jove, at last my lecture has driven her away! [looks around] Where are your married gallants? Why don't they all hurry up with gifts and congratulations for my valiant fight? [showing a woman's mantle worn underneath his cloak] This mantle I just now stole from my wife inside there, and [gleefully] it's going to a wench. This is the way to do--to cheat a cunning jailer in such clever style! I have taken booty from the enemy without loss to my allies!

DORIAN: This play was good enough for us, Harry. It was Romeo and Juliet. I must admit that I was rather annoyed at the idea of seeing Shakespeare done in such a wretched hole of a place. Still, I felt interested, in a sort of way. At any rate, I determined to wait for the first act. There was a dreadful orchestra, presided over by a young Hebrew who sat at a cracked piano, that nearly drove me away, but at last the drop-scene was drawn up, and the play began. Romeo was a stout elderly gentleman, with corked eyebrows, a husky tragedy voice, and a figure like a beer-barrel. Mercutio was almost as bad. He was played by the low-comedian, who had introduced gags of his own and was on most friendly terms with the pit. They were both as grotesque as the scenery, and that looked as if it had come out of a country booth. But Juliet! Harry, imagine a girl, hardly seventeen years of age, with a little flower-like face, a small Greek head with plaited coils of dark-brown hair, eyes that were violet wells of passion, lips that were like the petals of a rose. She was the loveliest thing I had ever seen in my life. You said to me once that pathos left you unmoved, but that beauty, mere beauty, could fill your eyes with tears. I tell you, Harry, I could hardly see this girl for the mist of tears that came across me. And her voice--I never heard such a voice. It was very low at first, with deep, mellow notes, that seemed to fall singly upon one's ear. Then it became a little louder, and sounded like a flute or a distant hautbois. In the garden scene it had all the tremulous ecstasy that one hears just before dawn when nightingales are singing. There were moments, later on, when it had the wild passion of violets. You know how a voice can stir one. Your voice and the voice of Sibyl Vane are two things that I shall never forget. When I close my eyes, I hear them, and each of them says something different. I don't know which to follow. Why should I not love her? Harry, I do love her. She is everything to me in life. Night after night I go to see her play. One evening she is Rosalind, and the next evening she is Imogen. I have seen her die in the gloom of an Italian tomb, sucking the poison from her lover's lips. I have watched her wandering through the forest of Arden, disguised as a pretty boy in hose and doublet and dainty cap. She has been mad, and has come into the presence of a guilty king, and given him rue to wear, and bitter herbs to taste of. She has been innocent, and the black hands of jealousy have crushed her reed-like throat. I have seen her in every age and in every costume. Ordinary women never appeal to one's imagination. They are limited to their century. No glamour ever transfigures them. One knows their minds as easily as one knows their bonnets. One can always find them. There is no mystery in any of them. They ride in the Park in the morning, and chatter at tea-parties in the afternoon. They have their stereotyped smile, and their fashionable manner. They are quite obvious. But an actress! How different an actress is! Harry! why didn't you tell me that the only thing worth loving is an actress?"

PYOTR: Listen, when I set off to come here, I mean here in the large sense, to this town, ten days ago, I made up my mind, of course, to assume a character. It would have been best to have done without anything, to have kept one's own character, wouldn't it? There is no better dodge than one's own character, because no one believes in it. I meant, I must own, to assume the part of a fool, because it is easier to be a fool than to act one's own character; but as a fool is after all something extreme, and anything extreme excites curiosity, I ended by sticking to my own character. And what is my own character? The golden mean: neither wise nor foolish, rather stupid, and dropped from the moon, as sensible people say here, isn't that it? Ah, you agree—I'm very glad; I knew beforehand that it was your own opinion. . . . You needn't trouble, I am not annoyed, and I didn't describe myself in that way to get a flattering contradiction from you—no, you're not stupid, you're clever. ... Ah! you're smiling again! . . . I've blundered once more. You would not have said "you're clever," granted; I'll let it pass anyway. Passons, as papa says, and, in parenthesis, don't be vexed with my verbosity. By the way, I always say a lot, that is, use a great many words and talk very fast, and I never speak well. And why do I use so many words, and why do I never speak well? Because I don't know how to speak. People who can speak well, speak briefly. So that I am stupid, am I not? But as this gift of stupidity is natural to me, why shouldn't I make skilful use of it? And I do make use of it. It's true that as I came here, I did think, at first, of being silent. But you know silence is a great talent, and therefore incongruous for me, and secondly silence would be risky, anyway. So I made up my mind finally that it would be best to talk, but to talk stupidly—that is, to talk and talk and talk—to be in a tremendous hurry to explain things, and in the end to get muddled in my own explanations, so that my listener would walk away without hearing the end, with a shrug, or, better still, with a curse. You succeed straight off in persuading them of your simplicity, in boring them and in being incomprehensible—three advantages all at once! Do you suppose anybody will suspect you of mysterious designs after that? Why, every one of them would take it as a personal affront if anyone were to say I had secret designs. And I sometimes amuse them too, and that's priceless. Why, they're ready to forgive me everything now, just because the clever fellow who used to publish manifestoes out there turns out to be stupider than themselves—that's so, isn't it? From your smile I see you approve

Ahh.. weekends. Time for blessed sleep. Or.. not, in my case :oP Saturday night, I woke up every half hour for a good six hours, then every hour for two more until my alarm went off. I reset my alarm and got two real hours of sleep before I had to get up to get to a rehearsal for "Insomniac." I wasn't nearly as amused by that then as I am now, but I wasn't nearly as awake :o)

+

After the non-productive rehearsal came the highlight of the day: Reiki training and attunement. This wasn't something I'd been planning on doing but, when provided me with the opportunity, I sort of flopped on it (jumping is too strong of a word; I was tired). I arrived a little late to find Breakfastfox, , and Nick all sitting on the porch step waiting(?). So, we headed inside to meet our instructor and start the learning process. We were to be attuned both to the first and second degrees in one day (easier, considering our age), and we had a good deal to learn about energies and symbols (not symbowls, as I kept writing x.x) before the actual attunement.

+

After learning the three symbols for the second degree, we took a break that consisted of strawberries, rice crackers, and poppy seed bread while our instructor got ready for the attunement itself. We goofed around for a while each of us was being attuned separately, first VulpinePilot, then Breakfastfox, then Nick, and me last. The attunement itself was indescribable, but the most vivid memory I have is that I had this sort of after image effect going, where I saw our instructor outlined in a very bright purple. Never mind the fact that my eyes were closed at the time. There was a bit more of that with Breakfastfox's mom, except the color was an orangish gold, but the effect dissipated soon after. I have to think about it more before I jump to conclusions; I was facing into the sun (well, bright window in dark room) with the instructor, and Breakfastfox's mom was silhouetted in a different window.

+

After running around, we practiced a bit on each other (or tried to; Breakfastfox kept laughing :oP) before I had to leave. I headed home so that my mom and I could go out to dinner. We tried to go to a new restaurant next to Sushi Zanmai, but it was kinda.. crappy, so we went to Sushi Zanmai itself and had our fill there. The whole time, my hands were almost unbearably hot, which I'm attributing to the Reiki earlier, since they got about as hot there, while practicing.

+

Aaaaanyway, I went to bed at around nine after doing FAFSA with mommy dearest, and woke up at around 12:45 with my hand excruciatingly asleep, and here I am, discussing the pool with Moondog, and writing this. Still haven't done much homework. I'll start now

I returned from a nice evening with , amonst others, and, upon seeing myself in the mirror, did not recognize my face. The facial hair I haven't shaved since the funeral combined with the dark, dark circles under my eyes lead to me looking a good deal older. When I shaved, though, I noticed something strange: androgyny. I'm oddly pleased with this, though it'll probably disappear tomorrow morning with rest and stubble. Maybe I can do something goofy for halloween. :o)

Edit: Well, maybe I was partially demented. I think what I saw last night was facial features that I get from my mom. It still gave me a good idea for a halloween costume of sorts. It's like how they made Gabriel androgynous in Constantine

This evening kinda sucked. It's nice and all that I can hide behind my supposed insanity from my housemates, but it leaves very few people to talk to about why I feel like a useless, overbearing and presumptuous dickhead, especially around them.

+

So anyway, I spent four hours cleaning up the mess that was the kitchen yesterday, finding some insanely disgusting things in the process, but it's.. much cleaner now. Part of what I did was remove half the silverware, half the bowls, plates, saucers, and all of the nice coffee mugs and small plates in hopes that the smaller amount of dishes will force my housemates and I to be more responsible about cleaning. Went shopping today to replenish all the rotting food which my housemates left in the fridge that I threw out. I made some more bread - cheddar white bread. It came out pretty disgusting, which might be part of the reason I feel so bummed. Next time I'll look for a recipe that isn't sweet, and maybe I'll experiment with temperatures and times of cooking, since no matter what I do, the crust comes out a little too dry, and it's still doughy in the center. I didn't clean up after myself - didn't feel up to it. Chocolate pudding didn't assuage the problem. Neither did finishing my book (found out there's a sequel, god damnit). I think I might try to wake up early and get some work done, or I might sleep in a little.

The malaise of stress is still hanging around me like a fog, sorta.. pressing against the small of my back and making my knees ache. Though that might just be Autumn, which definitely appears to be here. I was going to take the 7:25 bus, but a bowl of rice wasn't enough, so I made another and was just going to ride my bike. My body disagreed, so I took the 7:55 bus and was 5 minutes late for my listening test. I think I got everything, though. I need to learn a song by 2pm.

I should be in bed - I was, even, but I got to thinking. Some people in this world are just.. right. They're exemplary human beings that, upon first contact, strike a nerve that's almost like being in love. That's not to say that they're superhuman or that everyone else is subhuman, it's just that they happen to be so human and so real that they're what I strive to be, and they're the people I try to show in my music.

Ranna's coffee bread

+

Makes two 9x5" loaves +Prep time: ~30 minutes +Cook time: ~40 minutes +Ready in: ~2 hrs 30 minutes.

+

Ingredients: +1 cup warm water (~110F) +1 cup Toddy coffee concentrate or espresso (columbian bean recommended, arabica bean required) +2/3 - 3/4 cups white sugar +1 packet active dry yeast (2 packets would hasten the yeast working process) +1 1/2 teaspoons salt +1/4 cup vegetable oil +6 cups bread flour +optional chocolate syrup to taste

+

Directions: +

    +
  1. In a large bowl, disolve sugar in warm water. Stir in the yeast and let it work to a creamy foam.
    2. +
  2. Mix in coffee, salt, and oil. Mix in flour one cup at a time, then knead the dough on a lightly floured surface until smooth.
    3. +
  3. Place dough in a well oiled bowl and turn the dough to coat. Cover with a damp cloth and allow to rise until doubled in bulk, about 1 hour.
    4. +
  4. Punch dough down, knead for a few minutes, and divide in half. Shape into loaves and place into two well oiled 9x5 loaf tins. Allow to rise for 30 minutes or until the dough has risen 1 inch above the tops of the pans.
    5. +
  5. Meanwhile, prepare a glaze of 1 tablespoon vegetable oil, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1/8 cup coffee concentrate or espresso.
    6. +
  6. Baste top of loaves with the glaze and bake at 350 F for 30 minutes or until the bread is dark brown, periodically adding glaze to taste.

+

Since I based this off a recipe for sea level, I'm still trying to find the right amount of time for high altitude cooking. I've found that I can check the progress of the bread by straightening out a paper clip, poking it down through the center of the baking loaf and lifting up some of the inside to see if it's doughy or not. The paper clip leaves a low enough profile hole that it's hardly noticeable when done

This whole housemate thing is getting out of hand. I'm really contemplating something drastic, like leaving for three days or so without telling them. Just go stay at a friend's or something, and see if they can really do anything for themselves at all, or if I come back and all of the instant food is gone and every useable surface on the countertop is covered with dishes. Like it is now. After only a week; I spent four hours cleaning the damn thing last monday.

+

So, like, I'd clean up their mess myself (along with cooking dinner for them three or four times a week), but that's like a part time job that I'm not getting paid for. So that, plus school, leads to a lot of extra stress I'm just not willing to deal with. I tried talking with them, but Shannon just gets angry and hides in her room for two hours, and Ryan agrees, promising the both of us that one of these days, he'll stop being lazy. Well, hey, it's been five months. We only have nine more on our lease, then I'm moving out. Whether that means new roommates or living by myself, I don't care. I've gone into debt from trying to feed us all, but I guess all that's not even worth scraping your plate when you're done - it's better, after all, to let the stuff rot in the sink while you play WoW and Matt waits for you to realize how gross it is.

So I've got this recurring dream of dying or literally freezing up while on stage, but last night was different in a rather intense way. It was some large choir concert during which I had a solo. About half way through, I started to go numb and the kid next to me was giving me strange looks. When I felt my throat start to close up (this happens in every one of these dreams - last time it was an allergic reaction), he reached out and poked me in the sides in quick succession. I fell over on stage and couldn't move, feeling like I was slowly blacking out as everyone started surrounding me. I remember a brief moment in the hospital, but after that I just remember waking up in a bed that I knew was at my mom's house. Somehow, I also knew that I had had some, like, terrible kidney explosion or something, but everything looked and felt normal about me now. When I got up, however, there were pictures in the kitchen, some held to the fridge with magnets, mostly all of them of me with no hair and an oxygen tank generally looking like I was just recovering from brain surgery or something crazy. Since it appeared that Shannon was living there at the time, I went into her room to ask her what day it was. She said something like, "Your birthday, duh!" To which I asked in frustration, "No, what DAY is it?" This got me an answer about a week after what I was expecting, like a whole week had been erased from my memory. I'm starting to lose the rest of the dream, now, but it was.. weird. I was going around campus (which was suddenly CU, and not CSU) asking a bunch of really weird characters if they knew what had happened during that week. I teamed up with some people whom I can't quite remember anymore and we went searching, mostly around the Sheridan bus station at US36 and some fast food joint where I complained about the bowls beign stupid (they were like shells! They looked like they could hold so much more, but since the sides dipped, they'd only fill up halfway before the soup would reach one of the rims) and talked a bunch with the waitresses. I could tell when I was going to wake up, and the dream-me panicked at this.

+

I'm not quite sure what all this means, but I do know that it was more vivid than any dream I've ever had - these recurring ones being more vivid than most, anyway. There were a lot of real places that I was at (Old Main theatre on CU's campus, the house was a mix of two real buildings: my mom's house and my house, and the bus station), and the emotions that I went through were quite intense. It started out as a sort of worried curiousity that jokingly included some conspiracy theories, but as the dream went on with me trying to find out what happened to the missing week, it got worse and worse, getting closer to panic and concern about what had happened to me, why I didn't remember, and who could help me. Although the plot was nightmare-ish, I was extremely disappointed to be waking up: it was like enjoying such a good book that you become one of the characters. Maybe I'll write it into a short story, even if it does seem a little cliche

Woke up feeling fairly fine, though a little groggy and grumpy from very little sleep and maybe something from the attunement. Revier was downright angry today, which transfered on to me more easily than usual. I didn't realize until, by the end of second period, I was doubled over in an abdomnial pain that lasted until just about an hour ago (6:30). The pain distracted me too much to do reiki, I think, and I can barely remember any of the day, other than at one point, I got up to leave festival 'cause I felt sick, and Revier yelled at me. Not wishing to face such ire, I got a drink and sat outside the choir room for about ten minutes. Apparently, while I was gone, he yelled about me to the class. Whatever. Closer ran late, as usual, and I went home afterwards to shower and get dressed for Act I run through. My mom gave me a pill for irritable bowel syndrome, which started to take effect about halfway through Insomniac (which nearly flopped, since PETER AND SAGE WEREN'T ON STAGE). I guess this means that what happened was an abdominal muscle spasm ('a stitch in my side' type deal, except it was in my front and lasted a long time). Yay. Funness.

In other news, my FLCL DVD arrived, along with my Aquarian deck. I did a quick reading, just to see. Since the cards were quite new, I'm gonna take this reading with a grain of salt, though it does offer some good advice. Also, I'll describe it, which I probably won't do so much in the future. From a conversation with :

+

It represents distress or obstacles. + Crossing me: The moon - Working against me; unforseen perils, often involving loved ones. + Above me: 10 of cups reversed - Concious influences; loss of harmony, anger, guilt. + Beneath me: 10 of rods reversed - Unconcious influences; conflict, intrigue. + Behind me: 10 of pentacles reversed - Past influences; block on family, money. + Before me: 7 of cups - Future influences; Strong imagination and desires, but lacking in tenacity, thus limited attainment. + Myself: Wheel reversed - The quality of my involvement leads to the measure of my reward. + Environment: Fool - Positive inner forces. + Hopes and fears: King of rods - Honest, loyal, conscientious, just, often married. + Outcome: Ace of pentacles - Contentment, bliss, ecstacy, quick intelligence, wealth. +Ranna: So.. uh.. I guess I should do my homework :o) +Vixen: Heehee. Heheheheheheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeheheheheheeheheeh. +Vixen: That reminds me, I should shift my bet to this weekend ;3 +Vixen: BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA +Ranna: Hopes and fears was strange. Am I afraid of getting married? +Ranna: Oh dear.. +Ranna: Hee.. +Vixen: I dunnae. Can you interpret them either way? +Ranna: I suppose so. I'm not sure I really fear any of those things.. +Vixen: Never know until you get to them. ^.^ +Vixen: I wonder if it could also mean stuff like, "You fear that you're not _____ enough" +Ranna: Tha's twoo. +Ranna: I'm gonna at least get started on my bio homework. Ace of pentacles spurs me on!!!$(&%@#

+

Notice that half the cards are reversed. This I might attribute to shuffling, but the three tens, all reversed? The cards were arranged by suit. Each ten was thirteen cards away from the next, and I'm not that precise of a shuffler.. Ah well. This is neat stuff. I'm not sure yet whether I'd call it portentious, but it certainly does provide a new look on problems and situations

Dreams have been playing an awful large part of my life recently – I’ve noticed that I’ve been focusing on the more, and also noticing when others talk about theirs. Just now, for example, Matt Simms caught me in the hall as I was leaving to tell me about a dream wherein he was asking his girlfriend if she liked anyone else, naming a bunch of his friends by name, and the only one she had a crush on was me. We had a laugh over it, he pretended to punch me, then I left. It was a strange sort of occurance, not because the dream – that was just silly – just that I’ve been hearing about everyone’s dreams lately. Oh well, I can dig it.

For nature is also beautiful where we do not understand her and where she seems to us unordered. +[...] +[Order, clarity] are there by chance, not by law, not by necessity; and what we claim to perceive as laws [defining order and clarity] may perhaps only be laws governing our perception, without therefore being the laws a work of art must obey. And that we think we see [laws, order] in the work of art can be analogous to our thinking we see ourselves in the mirror, although we are of course not there. The work of art is capable of mirroring what we project into it. The conditions our conceptual power imposes, a mirror image of our own nature (Beschaffenheit), may be observed in the work. This mirror image does not, however, reveal the plan upon which the work itself is oriented, but rather the way we orient ourselves to the work. +[...] +Now even if one can assume with certainty that the observer will not see in the work of art something entirely different from what is actually in it - since object and subject do indeed interact - even so the possibility of misapprehension is still too great to allow us to say with absolute confidence that the presumed order is not just that of the subject. All the same, the state of the observer can be ascertained from the order he sees.

So I'm really digging this book, even if it is kind of a slow read (I'm only on page 30). So many grand ideas are included that - unintentionally or no - tie music into philosophy and life, much the way I try to do myself.

+

Some sort of weird stuff going on with relationships (friends and otherwise). I don't at all know what to do about them, so I'm going to wait a bit and see if things shift to a point where I can make a decision, however small

Today was long, from sectionals at 6:30, to rehearsal, which ended at 8. 13.5 hours, with two breaks, one when I left latin (if she's not gonna teach, I'm not gonna learn) and one while mad's rehearsed, dropping the day back down to 12 hours. I'm tired of this. I wanna see Moondog again. Ah well. Thursday, then Saturday night (with this cast, though, strike might last into sunday morning; I hope it doesn't last too long). Can't wait.

It is improbable that one would obey a necessity if it did not bring yet other advantages beyond those issuing merely from its minimal requirements; it is also improbable that an advantage would appear that is not attached to the fulfilment of certain necessities. This looks mysterious, and is indeed so: that one does something because necessity compels it and thereby unintentionally produces beauty; or that one has the impulse to create something beautiful and thereby fulfils necessity. It is one of those mysteries that make life worth living.

I've gotten stoned enough to realize that it's either pleasantly relaxing or utterly terrifying for me. Salvia divinorum was terrifying, but beautiful. Shrooms were the worst experience of my life due to an allergic reaction. Kava's relaxing and mellow, empathogenic. Kratom was a little -too- nice, like the codeine cough syrup I had for a while.

Leans on you and mnches." to Maverick_Xavier +Maverick_Xavier whispers, "anyways with the naked thing.. normally i would be all freaked out, a bunch of fuzzies trying to convince me to undress. however i'd most likely be perfectly ok with that while rolling. but i don't want to be seen naked, don't want you to remember a picture of me like that :P so for me that's the only thing i'm afraid of happening" to you. +Maverick_Xavier whispers, "oh mahrat will be there rollin with us :) i know i don't have to worry about him doing that kind of stuff. just don't know who else will be there and i guess i have seen my share of oversexed get naked furries ;P" to you. +ZanDen heads back towards the back hallway +Maverick_Xavier whispers, "so yeah, just wanted to finish my thought on that ;P" to you. +You whisper, "Astarael nods a little, "I don't want to push it, woof. If you're uncomfortable with something, then, by all means, you don't have to do it, and if ever I make you uncomfortable, just say so, and I'll stop as best I can. As for the pictures.. well.. I guess all I have is memories. I don't really know what to say.."" to Maverick_Xavier. +Maverick_Xavier whispers, "i'm not accusing you of pushing anything :) its just that if that situation normally came up i would be uncomfortable, but in the party situation i would probably go ahead and do it... and i would probably regret later everyone having seen the ugly fat woof naked :P so if that starts to happen just trying to think of ways to get out of it quickly hehe. clothes come off, sneak to the bathroom with fox perhaps?" to you. +You whisper, "Astarael nods a little and nuzzles at, "Alright, woof. I can do my best to distract you, too :o) I like spending time with you, and I'm sure that'll be true in RL, clothes or no, rolling or no."" to Maverick_Xavier. +Maverick_Xavier whispers, "Maverick_Xavier giggles and nods, hugs ya tight." to you. +You whisper, "Astarael leans into you and gives you a squeeze, "You will tell me if I make you uncomfortable, though, right? Some people won't..."" to Maverick_Xavier. +Maverick_Xavier whispers, "Maverick_Xavier snuggles close to you, "like make me feel uncomfortable when?"" to you. +You whisper, "Astarael rubs his paws on your sides and noses at, "I dunno.. I just mean, if I do something that unintentionally makes you uncomfy, you'll tell me?"" to Maverick_Xavier. +Maverick_Xavier whispers, "sorry, got distracted... yes i would let you know :)" to you. +You whisper, "Astarael bumps his nose against your cheek, "Thanks, wolf. I just think, if we're going to meet, then I don't want to do anything to make it weird, you know?"" to Maverick_Xavier. +Maverick_Xavier whispers, "though if you were referring to doing something that might make me uncomfortable while rolling. that probably wouldn't happen cause in that state i'd be comfortable with anything." to you. +Maverick_Xavier whispers, "Maverick_Xavier smiles and rubs his cheek against your nose, "well i am super shy and will be uncomfortable quite a bit... but when we roll together i think things will get comfy really fast between us."" to you. +Maverick_Xavier whispers, "will make for a really nice ice breaker... cause afterwards it should seem like we've been pals for quite sometime and are just comfortable around each other" to you. +You whisper, "Astarael nods a little, "Alright, I can understand that.. Sorry to keep bugging you about this, just don't want either of us to feel bad :o)"" to Maverick_Xavier. +Maverick_Xavier whispers, "so what were you thinking of that you could do to make it weird?" to you. +Maverick_Xavier whispers, "oh you will let me know too then, right??? i don't want to make you feel uncomfortable either" to you. +Maverick_Xavier whispers, "is there something you think i might do that would make you feel bad?" to you. +You whisper, "Astarael wrrf, "Well, you sound more shy than me, is all, and I want to be careful, for both our sakes ^^"" to Maverick_Xavier. +Maverick_Xavier whispers, "I am extremely shy, but that's ok... as far as offending me or making me feel bad. as long as you don't make fun of me or direct me into the center of attention i will be ok :) is there anything you are worried that i might do to you?" to you. +You whisper, "Astarael shrugs and headshakes. "I'm shy, too, so pretty much the same stands. I'm also quiet at first, so a lot of questions would probably make me a little freaked, but nothing too bad."" to Maverick_Xavier. +Maverick_Xavier whispers, "Maverick_Xavier giggles, "i think you'll be like to get more than a hi how are you. really great to finally meet you" out of me ;P" to you. +Maverick_Xavier whispers, "like = lucky" to you. +Maverick_Xavier whispers, "I hope I can... i'm pretty bad... have a bit of social anxiety problems, even more so than when meeting someone you really like n stuff. just feels like i'm going to mess up and look like a big ass dork and retard and like my IQ is 50" to you. +You whisper, "Astarael puts a smooch on your cheek, "I think I understand, fuzzy.

"Even if you don't make it, now I'm really interested in meeting you some day, so maybe some con after that or something." to Maverick_Xavier. +Maverick_Xavier whispers, "Maverick_Xavier smiles and wags, "yeah :) really going to try to make it to this one. i could use a weekend like that."" to you. +You whisper, "Astarael nuzzles around the ears in a figure eight, "Mmhm :o) Would you just be out for the weekend, then?"" to Maverick_Xavier. +Maverick_Xavier whispers, "yeah probably, "I don't think I can miss too much work, but it will be after the new year so i will have more vacationdays to use... i will have to see."" to you. +Maverick_Xavier whispers, "which days are you going again?" to you. +You whisper, "Wednesday late night through sunday afternoon." to Maverick_Xavier. +Maverick_Xavier whispers, "I probably could do 4 days no problem. thursday fri, sat, sun" to you. +Maverick_Xavier whispers, "plane tickets would be the only big problem stopping me from going" to you. +You whisper, "Astarael nodnods, "Well, we'll keep talking about it as things come up. It's still a few months off." to Maverick_Xavier. +Maverick_Xavier whispers, "Maverick_Xavier noddles, "i'll have to try and put some money away.... do you know how much rooms are?"" to you. +You whisper, "$90 a night. That's the convention price, so if you have, like, five people to a room, it's $18 a night." to Maverick_Xavier. +Maverick_Xavier whispers, "Maverick_Xavier noddles, "i'll have to look into that too. see if there are some ppl i can room with" to you. +Maverick_Xavier whispers, "i will probably ask mahrat and see who all is coming down from seattle" to you. +You whisper, "Astarael noddles and pets on. Will be staying with Rikoshi, if the other fox gets his act together." to Maverick_Xavier. +Maverick_Xavier whispers, "only one other person?" to you. +You whisper, "I think so.." to Maverick_Xavier. +Maverick_Xavier whispers, "would you rather it that way for more privacy or would you want more ppl to save money?" to you. +You whisper, "I think.. er.. we were aiming for privacy.." to Maverick_Xavier. +Maverick_Xavier whispers, "that is cool :) was just going to offer you guys stay with us if you wanted to save some cash" to you. +You whisper, "Astarael nods a little, "Thanks for the offer, fuzzy :o)"" to Maverick_Xavier. +Maverick_Xavier whispers, "Maverick_Xavier smiles, "no problem :) is he like your bf?"" to you. +You whisper, "I don't really know right now. Like I said, kind of a weird situation right now.." to Maverick_Xavier. +Maverick_Xavier whispers, "Maverick_Xavier noddles, "can i ask, or is it private stuff?"" to you. +You whisper, "Astarael shrugs, "It's fine. Um.. he and I just got kind of close - ur.. really close, I suppose - but I think both of us realize a long distance thing wouldn't be very good for either of us now, so it's all just up in the air. It's all really confusing :o)"" to Maverick_Xavier. +Maverick_Xavier whispers, "Maverick_Xavier ahhs and nods, "so its just him that the weird situation involves?"" to you. +Maverick_Xavier whispers, "for some reason i thought there were multiple people that you were interested in" to you. +You whisper, "Astarael grf, searches for words.." to Maverick_Xavier. +You whisper, "He's the only one I'm interested in in that way. Seeing you again was a different kind of interest, like I wanted to go back to how we were. Also, there's weird things going on with Shanerak." to Maverick_Xavier. +Maverick_Xavier whispers, "Maverick_Xavier smiles and nods, "I see... well this person coming to FC, is he going to get jealous if you spend time with me?" to you. +You whisper, "Astarael smiles and headshakes, "No, he'll understand."" to Maverick_Xavier. +Maverick_Xavier whispers, "okies :) as long as he is cool with it" to you. +You whisper, "Astarael beams, "I'm glad we talked today, fuzzy."" to Maverick_Xavier. +Maverick_Xavier whispers, "Maverick_Xavier grinz and lix yer nose, "I'm glad too :) got some stuff i was worried about with us off my mind and now we might be meeting up soon :)"" to you. +You whisper, "Astarael nuzzles in the licks and nodnods, "Anything else on your mind, woof?"" to Maverick_Xavier. +Maverick_Xavier whispers, "was calculating about how much going to the con is going to cost me... looks like about $650.... i've got alot of saving to do if i want to make it" to you. +Maverick_Xavier whispers, "no i don't think there is anything else on my mind... anything on yours?" to you. +You whisper, "Astarael headshakes, "Not at the moment. In fact, it's feeling pretty empty :oP"" to Maverick_Xavier. +You whisper, "Astarael gives you a good squeeze and nuzzles in green fur, "I'm gonna go for a walk.

Today was decidedly today. It was long, and full of stuff. The usual stuff that goes on on wednesdays. Choir, math, choir, bio, choir choir choir choir choir... Urg. I like singing, but I'll be FREAKING GLAD WHEN THIS BULLSHIT IS OVER. ^.^

Moondog. Thursday. Saturday night; I suppose I'll call her when I think strike's nearly finished, so that she can drive down to my house. If strike lasts longer, maybe we could meet at the school. Whatever.

Deep conversation with Ryan. Real deep.

Kory just asked if it was okay that he touched my neck. He likes to watch me melt. Becker tried, I nearly punched him. Trust seems to be an important factor in this.

I also haven't really mentioned it because I don't want you to feel.. obligated in any way.

I feel rather devoted to you, foxo, but.. er.. sometimes I don't act it. I'm not, like, leading along three other relationships or anything, just.. a few times in the past couple of months, I've gotten a little wrapped up in the moment, for lack of a better term."" to Rikoshi +(p) In a page-pose to you, Rikoshi smiles, and shakes his head. "Is that what's got your worried, hon?" he says, tapping you on the nose. "I really (maybe kinda more than) like you, too, but, I mean... I dunno, I don't see any reason to... what's the best way to put this? I'm not gonna be offended or hurt or anything at you having moments. Um... does that sound weird?" +You page-pose, "Ranna mmnfs, "I was worried a little, but moreso about how you'd react to someone you've only really met once rambling on to you about feelings." He wriggles his nose and shakes his head, "Doesn't sound that weird, fox; it's kinda something we've talked about before, but the thing I thought I remembered you saying kinda made me worried. Something about being an 'obedient foxer,' which in context sounded a little like monogamous. Made me feel a little guilty about playing around."" to Rikoshi +(p) Rikoshi pages, "Er... you know that a couple years ago, I had two boyfriends at the same time, right? I'm not one to throw stones, cutey. :) But nah, you don't need to feel weird about talking about feelings with me. I'm sorta glad, because for the last few weeks I've been too afraid to start this very conversation. :)" to you. +You page-pose, "Ranna'" to Rikoshi +You page-pose, "Ranna realigns fingers, tries again." to Rikoshi +(p) In a page-pose to you, Jim licks +You page, "I've had several.. ur.. brushes with the same sort of thing, and lots and lots of talks about it, though I'm fairly sure I've never really been in that sort of situation. We've even talked about it a bit, but I guess I was a little unsure of how you feel about it right now. Anyway, yeah. Talking's good, because reading people isn't really two-way." to Rikoshi. +(p) Rikoshi pages, "Well, you said you feel sorta devoted to me, and I'll admit a lot of the same thing. But, for the moment, I'm not gonna feel weird about anything, what because it's not like you're sitting on my doorstep. :) My basic philosophy isn't such that, you know, if you want to play around with other people, that's not going to upset me." to you. +You page-pose, "Ranna nodnods, "That's sort of what I tell myself when I'm trying to rationalize afterwards, when I feel a good deal of regret. Granted it's probably not a very healthy lifestyle, even if I am safe about it; it's what got me my new stalker, James." He puts his nose against yours and gives a little kiss, murmuring, "Though it might be nice to have a fox sitting on your doorstep."" to Rikoshi +(p) In a page-pose to you, Rikoshi shakes his head, and then kisses you back. "No feeling guilty," he says. "I don't think it's anything to be ashamed of, either (though stalkers aren't much fun, I know)." He kisses you again, lingering a little longer this time. "I don't want you to take my saying this as me saying I don't like you, though, because that's just plain not true." :) +You page-pose, "Ranna mwrms in the lingering kiss and smiles brightly afterwards, "Of course not, foxy. I understand. And you know the same applies to you, right? I'm not keeping you from playing around or exploring other interests or anything."" to Rikoshi +(p) In a page-pose to you, Rikoshi nods. "Okay. That's fine. Though, er, lately, that's not so much an issue!" he admits, blushing. "But yeah, I'm mostly concerned with happy foxes, being able to be... um, foxy. And not worrying." +You page, "Rwr? How so? And this talk has assuaged most of my concerns. Besides, foxes are always foxy, and this one is nearly always happy." to Rikoshi. +(p) In a page-pose to you, Rikoshi smiles, and bumps nose-to-nose with you. "I was actually kinda wondering what you were thinking, actually," he says, giggling. "I'm glad if I can help your concerns, though. I like talking through things." +You page-pose, "Ranna wriggles nose and mrfs. "I was thinking about putting food in my tummy, mostly, but also wondering what you meant by not so much an issue." He giggles right back and mouths at your chin, "Foxes are always helpful."" to Rikoshi +(p) In a page-pose to you, Rikoshi giggles again, and blushes even deeper. "Oh, just that, uh... Rikky doesn't really have folks to play around with, is all. But now he at least doesn't need to feel weird if a situation were to develop where a fox were to end up in a, er, compromised position." +Somewhere on the muck, Vexus has disconnected. +You page-pose, "Ranna rrwrs and smiles, giving you three quick kisses in close succession. "Oh.. er.. I dunno if it's related, but any new thoughts on the situation you posted about earlier?"" to Rikoshi +(p) In a page-pose to you, Rikoshi tries to kiss back, but misses two out of three. Aw. "Oh, with my roommates? I think I'm mostly okay." +You page-pose, "Ranna rubs muzzletip-to-muzzletip with you and murmurs, "Let me know how things work out.." before giving you one of those kisses that would be hard to miss, what with all the muzzle-locking and such." to Rikoshi +(p) In a page-pose to you, Rikoshi mmmphs pretty loudly, then goes a lot more quiet, melting against you as he shares your nice, deep kiss. +You page-pose, "Ranna slips his arms around you and tugs you up for some proper foxsnuggling, something which he never seems to get quite enough of." to Rikoshi +(p) In a page-pose to you, Rikoshi hoorays (in the manner of a soft squeak). He never tires of this, either--could do it for hours on end, really. "I'm really happy to hear that you like me, foxy." +You page-pose, "Ranna strokes along squeakyfox tail and traces the tip of his nose along your jawline. "Rrf, ditto," he says, giggling and adding, "It's nice to know that foxes think alike."" to Rikoshi +(p) In a page-pose to you, Rikoshi chuckles, nuzzling into you. "Passive telepathy," he murmurs, closing his eyes as he rests his head on you. +You page-pose, "Ranna grins and blushes a little in the ear-area. "It's true," he says quietly, keeping you nice and close against him." to Rikoshi +(p) In a page-pose to you, Rikoshi mmms, tucking in sorta cuddly-like. "I hear only certain foxes get that," he says. +You page-pose, "Ranna pets a paw down along your back and rubs his muzzle down along your cheek. "Oh?

Absinthe Suissesse Apees

+

2 cup all-purpose flour +1/2 cup white sugar +1/2 cup unsalted butter, cubed +1 tsp. almond extract +1/2 tsp. orange extract +1/4 cup Absinthe

+
    +
  1. Preheat oven to 350F.
    2. +
  2. Cut the flower into the butter until the size of peas. Mix in sugar, add Absinthe and extracts and stir (or user a mixer) to make a dough.
    3. +
  3. Roll out on a lightly floured surface (too much flour will make the dough crumbly) to a little more than 1/4" thick. Cut into three inch rounds and place on greased baking sheets.
    4. +
  4. Bake until firm, but not colored, about 14 minutes. Cool on wire rack.
    5. +
+

Makes a firm cookie, though if you roll them too thin, they get fairly hard. I used Blanche de Fougerolles 74 because it was sweeter than the Verte, though with the color of the butter and the small amount of absinthe, if you used a verte, the color would likely be lost, so that won't make much of a difference. The taste is something like a pizzelle, only more full

Ranna kerpounce! +Rikoshi yarf! +Ranna hrr! Sits on, triumphant. +Rikoshi, conquered fox. +Ranna would mention something about plundering, but that'd be cliche. Instead, he makes sure to claim his property by giving your neck a little nip. +Rikoshi closes his eyes, leans his head back, and tilts it to the side, exposing and offering his throat to you. +Ranna does the only thing that's left for him to do and closes his jaws carefully around that throat, hrrs turning - expectedly - into growls. +Rikoshi gasps softly, starting to whine quietly before he just goes quiet once he ears that growling in your own throat. +Ranna gets comfy against you, keeping you nicely pinned beneath him in the process. It's like a big, warm, soft, and growly blanket settling over you; one that's chewing on your throat lightly. +Rikoshi is more than just a little bit accepting of this - you can tell from his movement (or his near total lack thereof) that he's well and surrendered to you. +Ranna lets go of your throat after a bit and nuzzles up at your cheek, murmurring quietly, "I dunno about this, fox. I feel a little weird." +Rikoshi squeaks at you, looking into your eyes. "Hmm? What do you mean, foxy?" +Ranna pokes his nose in against yours and plants a little kiss while he's there. "I'm not sure. I think I'm just in an off mood tonight; feel kinda.. rusty, or just not really growly.." +Rikoshi kisses back, and then pets your ears. "You don't need to be growly, hon," he assures you in a calm little voice. "I just hope you're not feeling weird on account of me." +Ranna lays ears back and sorta rolls onto his side with you, "No, that's not it.. We just hadn't done anything like that in a while, so it though it might be fun." He shrugs a little, "Guess I wasn't in the mood for the whole dom/sub thing, which is okay." +Rikoshi rubs your belly gently, and licks at your lips. "Is it weird for you, if I get too submissive towards you?" he asks. +Ranna mouths at your tongue and giggles a little, leaning into the tummyrubs. He continues the roll onto his back, tugging you up onto his front. "Nah," he murmurs, adding, "Well, I mean, it might be right now, just 'cause I'm feeling weird. Maybe it is just that we haven't really done anything like that in a while." +Rikoshi smiles, and hugs you back. "You mean, like, been all sexual?" he says, giving you another lick on the face. "Are you maybe feeling a bit... I dunno, a bit too adoring to want to get forceful?" +Ranna tilts his face up into the lick and rrfs, smiling. "Well, I was going to use some big word like 'egalitarian,' but that fits a little better, yeah. Still all woozy and such from all that's gone on in the past week or so." +Somewhere on the muck, Vexus has connected. +Rikoshi pets your cheek. "It's okay," he says, smiling. "I think it's really sweet, actually, that you've been feeling that way. It makes me... well, it makes me feel pretty nice, myself." +Ranna tilts his cheek a little into the pets, his own paws brushing down over your sides. "Rrf.. I'm sure in time we'll get back into the routine of doing all sorts of foxish things to each other," he says, all pink in the ears, "But I'll still adore the heck out of ya." +Somewhere on the muck, MegaWolf has disconnected. +Rikoshi pecks at your lips. "I know you do," he says. "Heck, I'm surprised it took me this long to admit how deeply I'd fallen for you, foxy. Probably was just my hesitation and all, I suppose." +Somewhere on the muck, MegaWolf has connected. +Ranna prrfs at the peck and nods, laying ears back. "I was trying to be conservative, by not saying anything." He shrugs, "I thought I'd sworn off long distance things with Shanerak, but.. ouf.. how can I resist foxes?" +Rikoshi touches your ears. "I know what you mean," he says. "It's tough; I've done the long distance thing more than once, and it's tought. Still, we've both been taking it pretty slow, and it's obvious that we're still both... well, more than a bit sweet on each other, all the same." +Ranna perks his ears to foxfingers, nodding some. "It's worked out well, taking it slow." He adds, "As long as I can still sneak in a few hurried kisses in semi-public places.." +Rikoshi giggles happily, kissing you right there, for one. "Slow is nice," he says. "Not that I'm not glad that the last week or two's been really, erm... nice for both of us." +Ranna kisses back once or twice and hees, nodnodding. "Very nice." He gives you a brief squeeze, followed by a pat to the rump. +Rikoshi yips, tail batting downwards. "It's gonna be nice to see you again, hon," he says. "And I mean, not just because we get to be all alone and foxish, either. Rar!" +Ranna meeps at the tail and giggles; he'll be nice. "Mmf!" he mmfs, "Of course! I can hardly wait! I want to try and balance foxtime with meeting a whole bunch of people. Maybe tip the scales a little more towards foxtime, though. +Rikoshi chuckles, and embarrassedly admits, "It'll be easier for me to be more, er, 'open' and all when my ex-boyfriend isn't sitting in the other bed, yeah." +Ranna snickers, "True, true. And procyonids. Won't have to worry about secretive touches and keeping everything hidden under covers." +Rikoshi feels no shame about being close to foxy. Especially not since everyone in the Nurple has been considering you and him and item since before you and he were. :) +Ranna hees. 'Specially not after AC, what with the whole snogging during the room party and looking up to see two or three people watching. +Rikoshi says, "Wait, did that happen? Really?" +Ranna hrr? "Yeah, you were working on "Frankincense and Murr" in the armchair, and I was sitting on the arm. Afterwards, I looked up, and Andreal and Kurt were just sort of.. watching. I'm sure I turned quite red.." +Rikoshi giggles. "Oh, right, THAT party"! he says, blushing a bit himself. "Hey, I don't mind the fact that I like you, sugar." +Ranna laughs, "I hardly mind either, foxo." He hmms, and adds, "You'll have to forgive me if I'm not quite as open about it around some people as others. Like Shanerak, or any of his friends (whom I don't think we'll be running into)." +Rikoshi smiles, and licks your lips again. "Oh, more than forgiveable, sweetheart," he assures you. +Ranna licks back against your tongue, "I dunno that we'll be seeing him much, though, since I see him nearly every week, anyway. Urm.. and another of my exes might be coming, but he's got a really severe case of social anxiety, so I don't think we'll see much of him, either." +Rikoshi says, "Well, Randall's gonna be back, but I don't expect we'll need to worry much about him, because he's kinda anti-social, and I don't think I'd ever make special time for an ex-boyfriend when I could be spending time with... er... um... you." +Ranna blushes, "Well, I do plan on spending at least a little time with Maverick, but just 'cause I've known him so long. I'll still be following you around lots :o)" +"No worries, foxy hon. I don't keep you on a leash or nothing," Rikoshi says, "Besides, that's for you to keep on me." +Ranna rowrs and giggles, "Mmhm. Have to tug a fox around somehow, and waistbands don't work when you're not wearing anything." +Rikoshi yerfs, blushing even though he doesn't seem the least bit ashamed. "Oh, did I ever mention that I think you have a really cute butt, sweetie?" +Ranna meeps, his turn to blush, "Oh? Er.. yeah? You were looking?" He giggles a little, "Well, I suppose that's kinda to be expected.. +Rikoshi says, "Well, there was one night in particular, I forget when, when we were just kinda lying together alone, and I had my hand there, and I was thinking, 'Oooh, that's kinda nice.'" +Ranna supposes his butt is a little curvy. Oh well, he's still blushing. "I like having you touch me like that, by the way.." +Rikoshi says, "Yeah? I mean, you didn't seem to mind, and all, but..." +Ranna giggles, "Well, I mean, like the little touches, too. Like.. well, when we were just kinda snuggling, but it was sorta leading to something else, your fingers would get all sneaky and check if I was aroused, 'n such.." +Rikoshi blushes real, real deep! "Nrrf! Well... yeah. I mean, it sorta just seemed to make sense, and all, given the thing, and... er..." +Ranna laughs and gives you a quick little kiss, "Hey, hey, no worries, foxo. I think it was one of the cutest things anyone's ever done to me. Much more so than my rather blunt 'wandering paws'. You know, the whole avoidavoidavoid-grope! sort of thing." +Rikoshi's still blushing. "You know, hearing you say that is really making me a very happy sort of fox, cutey." +Ranna grins, "Good, foxes need to be happy. Truth be told, I was a little wary of mentioning it, on the chance that you might not do it anymore." +Rikoshi says, "That's... just sorta how I am, I guess. So, then, no worries?" +You yerf, "Psh, of course not! Like I said, I really enjoy those sorts of little touches." +Rikoshi kisses you on the foxnose. "Well, good," he says. "I like obliging to that." +Ranna wiggles foxnose and ruffles his paws down your sides. "Mmm, goodfox." He frowns a little, "It got late.." +Rikoshi rubs you back, still smiling. "Gonna go to bed, honey?" +Somewhere on the muck, Vexus has disconnected. +Ranna gets pokey with nose, "I think I might. In a few, maybe." +Rikoshi rubs his snout at yours. "You know what's really cute, if you don't mind my saying?" he asks. "The fact that you're always so reluctant to leave me at night." +Ranna earperks, then earflattens, to hide all the pink that wells up in them. "Um.. well, I just don't want to go! I think I'll stay up just a little bit longer.. I'm sick, so I won't have to sing tomorrow. 'Sides, all this talk of foxtouching sorta got me going c.c" +Rikoshi shushes you with a fingertip to your muzzle, and then just pushes into a very gentle, very affectionate little kiss with you. +Ranna goes quiet obediently and presses up into the little kiss, trying not to seem too eager about receiving it. +Rikoshi wouldn't mind if you were, truth be told. He's a fox who likes it when he's liked

+Today was pretty good. Left public speaking a little early to go sing Insomniac over the announcements. I'll sing Li'l Red tomorrow. After that, the day was peachy. Went out with Shannon for lunches, then went home and nearly passed out after a shower, until my mom startled me awake, then I was nearly asleep again until Moondog startled me awake. She arrived early, but I wasn't complaining. We sorta laid around for a while, since she was operating on no sleep and I was operating on no energy. Then there was Pops, which was pretty uneventful as far as Pops goes. Too long as usual. Anna gave me flowers, which was really nice, and I gave them to Moondog, since I'd forget to water them. After, she had to depart to go home and sleep, but she kept stalling. She tastes like rootbeer and cloves.

I just had a huuuuuuuuge dream about FC. I can only remember parts of it, but I get the feeling it spanned several hours - pretty much from when my alarm woke me up until.. like.. now. It featured a lot of a certain fox, and also , , Kevv, Tsuki, and Dr. Kim (!). There wasn't any real plot, but for some reason it was held in Denver on a hill, and the hang-out was something that wasn't quite the 16th St. Mall. There were two rows of benches facing eachother in this area even though it was on a decently steep hill. I, of course, kept falling off the benches, being my clumsy self. Also included was a bunch of thinly veiled sexual innuendo, and me trying to climb out of my hotel bathroom via a window, which somehow led me back to a sort of common area for the room. I guess this means I can't wait x.

The fever dreams continue and do nothing to make me feel better. This last one was a depressing apocalyptic movie involving something crashing into the moon. That part was fantastic to watch, but, like.. I dunno. It kept skipping around. I wanted to get to my mom's house so that I could be safer than in the cities, and I kept thinking about how I had made the wrong kind of life for myself in a world that would lack such simple transcontinental communication. Sure, that may be true. If a giant moonsized asteroid crashes into the moon and somehow doesn't kill us all on the spot. Anyway, it was kinda depressing and I don't want to sleep anymore -.

School really wasn't all that great, now that I think back on it. I'm amazed I can feel like I'm having a lot of fun while I'm there, then get home and realize how much I really don't like that place. Revier was in a good mood, at least. He tried to run Steph P. over with a baby grand piano with an expression that was somehow both vacuous and angry. Had a slight pack with Andrew and Ryan at anime while watching something goofy. After, I walked around the house naked and ate pizza (it's amazing what you feel like doing when you know you have the house to yourself). I took a drive to get some air, too, but it smelled like stale cigarette smoke. Pops tonight, Pops and strike tomorrow night, then I'll have a Moondog.

So I'm not quite sure what happened last night, but I'm reasonably sure it wasn't sleep. I took a shower at about 1 because I was feeling wired and hoped that it'd calm me down. It felt a little like it did, but after just laying there for three hours worrying and thinking my usual stupid thoughts (I get on these 'what if' trains that don't seem very bad at the time, but then I think back on them and I sound like I'm terribly depressed, plus some delusions of grandeur), I got back up. I was feeling pretty off kilter for the next few hours, though just because the whole tired-but-wired thing was getting to me - I got some work done on a song, but realized I forgot to do my ear-training. When I finally started feeling tired at around 5, I figured I'd lie down for a nap. That's when things got weird. It started with this weird clicking noise I thought was coming from my speakers, but I got up to find that I'd turned them off. This happened twice, so I just drank some water and laid down. From then until 6:45, I don't know what happened. I feel like I didn't close my eyes, and I 'woke up' terrified, fearing that I was going insane. A shower calmed me down, and I guess I'm okay now, but.. I dunno, this was weird. I've been feeling strange the past few days, and I'm dreading finishing out the week like this - I'm thinking it's just stress (mostly stressing myself out - school's not too bad) and hoping it's not the start of some big downswing. Oh well :o/ I've been drinking less caffeinated stuff, but maybe I'll try cutting it completely

I was looking around through the Pharmako* books and found that I'd missed several more pages of content in the reference section, where Pendell does more than just list the references he used:

+

On the science front, researches at Cambridge University found that they were able to kill 238 mice with a combination of methamphetamine and loud music.

+
Say...what?

So I think I just fail at life. I just missed my second concert in a row. Damnit. In my defense, the ticket said 7:30 and the concert was at 4, but.. damnit, I knew that! Guh. Oh well.

+

Edit: funny, I had a little kava before I left, and for all my bluster, I really don't feel anything at all ._

Wasn't sick today, so I went out and got chai and a chicken for lunch/dinner. My all-state cd arrived, along with the Animal Lords tarot deck I ordered.

I don't think I got much sleep last night - every time I'd look up at the clock, a half hour or so had gone by, even though I felt fairly rested. Eventually, it was about 4:30. I got up about an hour and a half late (a shame, I would've liked to have gone to history), angry as all heck. I dunno what's going on.. maybe it's some sort of general downswing judging by my mood the past few days. Er.. weeks. Oh well. If so, that means it'll just go back up later :o
