we'll never truly know each other

[10 Mar 2007 | Saturday]

11:43 AM - we'll never truly know each other
Current mood: small

[this is extremely self indulgent. you really don't need to encourage it by reading further.]

this is the last entry of my myspace blog. i'm not trying to be dramatic or artful or even insightful. who knows if any of it was ever writing worth reading. the significance of myspace has severly dwindled for me and my use of it has become mostly utilitarian. there is no practical use for creative writing here.

have you ever watched a mediocre movie and become so emotionally invested in it that at the most climatic scene you feel ashamed, almost nauseous, at your concern so you force yourself to laugh or turn your head and screw up your face and say, "EEEUUUUGGGGHHHH"?

that is how i'm feeling about my myspace blog. i feel like it was a very mediocre expression of various experiences that i went through that i am unreasonably attached to because they are the only document of those times, inadequate as they may be. i think about entries that i posted half finished, half thought out, not nearly fully appreciating the significance (or insignificance of ) the things i was going through at the time. i think of all of the people i met with whom i was so enthralled: janna, emma, megan, eme, nikki, landon, sydney, jane, rosa, moses, jessica etc. about whom i wish i'd written more thoroughly, more passionately, more memorably...

i'm not a writer. when i become overwhelmed with life i expell a few observations out of some feeling of obligation, not out of necessity. writing frustrates me. it seems like another vehicle of expression with which i can never park in front of my destination and say, "here it is. i've expressed it." i'll probably never be as good of a writer as i feel i need to be to justly present how much i love everyone around me, or how tempted i am to just sleep days away when the incongruencies of life become all too apparent.

i'll never be as good of a writer or any type or artist as i can because i will never be able to fully understand what is happening around me. that's sort of comforting and extremely humbling. no matter how astute i become at simply documenting a day or even a moment, i will never be able to absorb every piece of information that contributes to the significance of each moment. therefore every conjecture that anyone makes from "i'm hungry" to (i'm already tiring of this entry, i hope you aren't still reading it)... whatever you happen to think is the pinacle of all human observation in written form... is essentially on the same level of value:

we just don't get it. we never will. let's stop judging ourselves and others.

maybe i'll start writing haikus again.

ugh. this getting better at writing thing isn't really working out for me.

i'll always start my sentences with "i"

the first entry from 2005 starts after this one.

ps. speaking of faulty vehicles, this is a reminder to myself to write a new blog entry about illfit outfit's first on-the-road experience.

pps. now i remember why i began writing this last myspace blog entry. i'm still much too attached to the entries (moreso the comments) to delete it so i'm posting it for my own gratification at http://yeoldemyspaceblog.blogspot.com/

ppps. my main blog will now be http://whalepubevest.blogspot.com

5:16 PM - we live in lies and expect lies
Current mood: dichotymous

it's been hard to remain focused lately. when i can't stay still long enough to read the several books that i've started i find refuge in graphic novels ('aren't those comics?' yes yes shutup). last night i finished two worthy 'reads': City of Glass by Paul Auster and Abel by William Harms and Mark Bloodworth. there is an afterword in the latter which probably put me in this cynical mood. the whole story is built upon lies which produce more lies - each seeming more necessary than the last.

i hate running out of library time.

new york was a labyrinth of endless steps,
and no matter how far he walked, it always left him
with the feeling of being lost
each time he took a walk, he felt he was leaving himself behind
by giving himself up to the streets, by reducing himself to a seeing eye
he was able to escape thinking.
all places became equal, and on his best walks,
he was able to feel that he was nowhere.
this was all he ever asked of things:
to be nowhere. - from City of Glass

[27 Jul 2005 | Wednesday]

1:44 PM - we're too old to be hooligans
Current mood: silted pantcuffs


when you are prepared to have the worst times people pull through making your experience electric. my whole weekend turned around. i thought that by saturday morning i would be thoroughly steeped in melancholy but i woke up in warm arms to a phone call from an old friend, "want to help me shop for a longboard?"

it was perfect outside- the kind of day where you can look across fields and see clouds in defined layers with sunlight shining through the gaps. beautiful and gagworthy. i introduced caylie to mos def, talib kweli, madvillain and my africa cd. we bought matching longboards at pipeline. we are starting a gang of mild mannered skirt wearing carvers to cruise the streets.

moby stayed at my place all weekend plus a day. he's moving into my house on friday while i'll be in vermillion at the county fair with caylie. i'll be saying goodbye to home in a little over a week leaving mista with my mama. finally someone will understand why it's not so cool to have a jamaican mother. i wish him the best.

on sunday morning i played bass at westend. that really wasn't worth mentioning. it's funny to look back and realize that the approval i so craved from those kids would have been of little worth- especially since now that have it i am what i thought i could never be around them - different and myself - being in their favour is neither here nor there.

me, moby, caylie, her work partner devina, and devina's girlfriend sahana ate a simple but welcome lunch at the mahaganapathi temple. i wish i hadn't been so delirious with fatigue so i could remember more of what jai the white guy explained as he gave us the tour. i do remember feeling welcomed by the hindi music (much like what i listen to all day at work. thank you bollywood and satellite radio). i also recall shaking my head at jai's oversimplification of hindu/christian schisms in the family unit created by conversion, the fee sheet at the back door for receiving specific blessings, and my own comment that siddhartha gautama was to hinduism and buddhism what martin luther was to catholicism and protestantism- at least in their intent to streamline existing systems rather than start new ones. my words may have come out slurred.

last night caylie and i spent five hours scuttling in and out of the rain before we thought of just creeping the underground parking nearby. thanks edmonton for your visionary devotion to consumerism. is it still the largest mall in the world? i'm still finding sandy patches in my hair. i catch myself thinking about the dance-like swaying of fast turns and sliding down city hills in the dark (when we've worked up the courage). i have a new love.

where all the nurses know your name

[27 Aug 2005 | Saturday]

4:42 AM - where all the nurses know your name
Current mood: recumbent

this week has been poignant.
i hate the word but what else can i say? it fits.
things i've gained (i prefer to think in credits);

1. three pounds (be it muscle or fat who can tell)
2. an obsession with derelict hospitals i.e. the charles camsell
3. a scab on my right hip
4. adhesive signs and a hygiene kit - i truly love you justin
5. anxiety towards intimacy
6. renewed tolerance for previously undigestable substances
and just tonight
7. guilt from being a truant to old friends
8. one shabbily bombed hill - i swear i will make the kinsmen area my bitch
9. one wayward cellular phone ejected somewhere along said bombed hill
10. sweatiest tshirt ever
11. undeniable soft spot for everyone i meet/know/see
12. mild self loathing
13. oh yeah, a first degree sprain in my left ankle also gained on mentioned shoddily navigated decline
14. COMMUTE HOME FROM BUDDY'S IN LESS THAN 30 MINUTES!!! with nothing but drunken imbalance and quadraceps to propel me
15. the recurring internal monologue "why did i do that? that wasn't me... because i wanted"

i've never gone to fifteen. i've never had a night like this one. tomorrow is here. goodnight moon. goodnight room. goodnight cowjumping over the moon. predictable, i know but it's in my system now.

ps. i asked my dad a lot of questions about the camsell. i'm getting used to this caretaker stuff. it's so strange to see him looking healthy when he's sicker than ever. they put steriods in drugs to make it look like your improving.

2 Comments - 2 Kudos
whoa.
i love lists. especially when all are taken as learned life experiences instead of material/emotional/mental/physical loss.

1. i truly empathize with seven of those listings. a different set of physical difficulties and technological gains/losses.
2. drinking and driving, not such a good idea. my girl was riding back from the dog after her birthday, skid in some sand (it was april), lost 1.5 teeth (the front ones), a cello recital (year end solo show), broke her face (in that way where she just had to wait out for it to heal unaided). be safe.
3. do they really put steroids in drugs?

mom is asking me a lot of questions this morning. note to self: do not bomb bikepaths. do not go to bed at five then wake at eight. do not go straight to mom's then attempt to explain why you are a such disaster. she always knows any way. do eat her food.

strange how all of my foibles can be summed up with "you are disrespectful". thanks, how helpful.

fun fact: jamaicans talk about respect a lot. RESPECT!

i wonder if i have a concussion. it's certainly not a hangover. i don't get those. my head & neck have been sore for hmmm about 12 hours now.

how many? 3 fingers? shit. i always fool me.

where are my keys?

it's going to be a great day today. no really, i think it will.

Current mood: sore

first: i apologize. when i'm sleepy i become a big contemplative pile of saccharine crap.

i rarely fill out surveys but i really enjoyed this one. i'm always tempted to be funny when i fill them out but i'm so tired of how unfunny funny is. i'm on one of my 'sincerity always' kicks right now. what's funny is the more i focus on being sincere the more pretense churns out. i hate the word 'funny' so i use it.

anyway, at the end of the activity i was surprised by the number of answers concerning time management so i thought 'hey, it's been a long while since i made a blog entry" i can't remember what i thought after that. it was something about being whiney when i'm fatigued slash overwhelmed.

I will always: look back (to see if you're looking). that and begin sentences with 'i'.
I miss: the summer before grade six and emma parker
I hear: the neighbours' laundry
I smell: when i'm dreaming
I crave: buddles (buddy snuggles)
I worry: that i'm not doing enough
I regret: wasting time regretting
I love: sincerity
I always: sit still thinking about how much time i'm wasting.
I dance: for myself
I sing: while i'm talking
I can't stand: rough miniscule textures- especially with holes... like this

i get the heebie jeebies
I like: juxtaposed emotions such as feeling comfortably uneasy or contentment with anxiety
I can usually be found: hiding
I hope: secretly that people will find me and play sardines
I need: to turn the computer off
I know that: me & darcel will be old ladies
I want: an invisible cape or enough time to see everyone. but i don't have either of those.
I obsess: when i'm curious
I am always: rubbing my tshirt tags
I wish: emma was here already
I cry: but don't realize it
I fell: three weeks ago but i keep pressing on the bruise so it will stay
I believe: we're trying too hard.
and that "everyone is insignificant"' was the better answer.

p.s. those of you who know me might be surprised to know that i've been putting in loads of effort at school. really. i have. please be proud of me because you know i don't put in effort. this is new.

a) the graphic classics series i have not read, but have you read any of the Icon Books releases, the 'introducing' _______ graphic novels? right now i'm reading Introducing Post Modernism.

b) "I can't stand: rough miniscule textures- especially with holes... like this" is it because of the thought of little beings living in the holes? cos that's what it would be for me.

c) was sardines the one where one person hides and when the next person finds them u wait for everyone to find you? what was that supposed to teach us?

d) i could keep going. but i will not overwhelm you with pokes and prods when you have many other things to think about. i'm curious at why i obsess.

overwrought and circular

[26 Nov 2005 | Saturday]

2:32 PM - overwrought and circular
Current mood: contemplative

from my ridiculously overcooked brainstew (the ink version):
(my apologies for the double negatives and run-on sentences)

"...I can't trust anyone to not hurt me. It's not possible! We all hurt each other and it hurts so much more when we allow ourselves to think there will be no pain, no letdowns, and no subtle inconsistencies that only add to a growing fear of making ourselves open to failure.

I keep thinking that I need to trust more. That's not it. It's not about trust. It's about knowing you will eventually get wronged (or that I will wrong someone else) but being willing to stay close, keep listening, and keep giving of yourself in spite of the ever present possibility that everything might collapse. The only questions are:
How much could they hurt me?
How often will they hurt me?
Is what we have worth the potential pain?
Could I handle it?
Could I handle it without it ruining me?
Would we spend more of our energy on love or on dealing with pain?
Are they as willing to go through it as I am?

I don't know what to do. I don't know how to cut things out of my life. I don't know exactly what to cut or who I will become as a result of certain omissions and additions.

We arrive at the turn around.

*If I really wanted to cut someone I would. If I really wanted to rest more I would. If I wanted more engaging entertainment... to practice more... to finish tasks... to have healthy relationships... to get out of this rut... I WOULD FUCKING DO IT...'

and so forth.

p.s. the internet is dumb.

'The Four is the personality type which emphasizes the subjective world of feelings, in creativity and individualism, in introversion and self-absorption, and in self-torment and self-hatred. In this personality type we see creative artists, romantic aesthetes, and withdrawn dreamers, people with powerful feelings who feel different from others because self-consciousness blocks them from getting outside themselves.'

once upon a time there was a beaurifuk ubucirb named jeneekwa, who had a golden mane and purple fur. her main goal in life was to open a bank account, but her father said no. jeneekwa ran away with another unicorn named reginald, who decided that it was his sole purpose in life to edit myspace pafges for a proffessional living. now, these unicotns, were no usual coipkle- they had magucal powers wghoch enagbled them to hit on humans without questuining. now, not to say tgar rgwawa gymans were easily fyuuled. one day, one of them found a quarter on the lawn. he picked it up, in all its glory, only for it to be snatched away by that purple bitch jeneekwa. she started her own bank account, and her ftaherr could shove it~~~!!!!!!!

"too many hookers, not enough nurses

prostitutes in germany are being given the chance to retrain as geriatric nurses with the help of a protestant church and EU funding. the scheme will help plug a chronic shortfall in nurses as well as offer an alternative career to sex workers, writes the daily telegraph. some 30 prostitutes aged 20 to 40 are starting a two-year nurse training course in the state of north rhine-westphalia."

i've been dealt an abundance of days (weeks) that make me think "this should go in a myspace blog" but i'm away from the keyboard and i can't remember them the next day.

those days are significant, complete, forgettable and forgotten. today is nearly forgotten. i can't remember the significant moments.

how to make it to the other end of "two more weeks"

1. restock the popsiclAs & fudgesiclAs
2. form piles of magazines, movies, cds and other creative entertainments to enjoy when you have a taste for enjoyment again
3. read every article, feature and comment on globeandmail.com
4. buy clothes that you won't wear and food you aren't hungry for with money that you don't have
5. consider reworking your approach to approaching work
6. trust that warmer temperatures, greener surroundings, longer walks and later naps will restore your ebullience
7. call each other 15 times a day
8. keep in mind that june is effectually just beyond this 14-day deep fog
9. realize that you are still capable of enthusiam- 10 minutes with a didgeridoo can moisten any dry spell
10. appreciate people you've been underestimating
11. nuzzle. deep.

like one of those cat ladies who needs everything double-bagged

[02 May 2006 | Tuesday]

12:00 PM - like one of those cat ladies who needs everything double-bagged
Current mood: sluggish blood flow to extremities

i wake up. i complain. i bed down. i groan.

this sparked it: jess harvell on tool's "10,000 Days"


wtf

what the (pitch)fork?

pitchforkmedia has been largely absent from my computer screen this
academic year since i've been too busy playing/making music to listen
to/read about it. the semester is over. i've taken up my usual summer
e-diet of google, wikipedia, pitchfork and (recently) del.icio.us
expecting to gorge myself.

wtf? what happened to pitchfork? yes yes, i acknowledge and appreciate
the leaps and bounds you've made to provide more reviews, features &
news but what happened to the mailbag/letters section? was that what
is was labelled in the past? i can't remember.

i enjoy pitchfork. i trust pitchfork, not because i buy into your
eye-rolling and scenester posturing but i find your news stories
pertinent and your reviews in-line with my observations when i sit
publicly transit my ass across edmonton to the sound of new
releases... and rereleases.

i just read jess harvell's review of tool's "10,000 days". i'm not
much of a tool fan. i'm even less of an a perfect circle enthusiast
but i appreciate both bands on some rather diluted level far below
their legion of "15-year olds still finding their place in the world".
if i listen to the album i will more than likely agress with jess'
criticisms. what i find superfluous, now aggravating, is this constant
wink wink nudge nudge good ol' boys game that some of your reviewers
need to play to assert their status.

i've become accustomed to reading your self-important reviews making
pitchfork staff and readers out to be some uppercrust community of
indie-connosieurs- thanks for the head nod but i really don't need the
association. what was my point...

oh yeah, what really needs to be said about the closing sentence of
his review, "But hey, the next time you're sneering at someone in a
Tool shirt, just remember how retarded you look walking down the
street with the words "The Boy Least Likely To" or "Clap Your Hands
Say Yeah" across your chest."

how about, "you don' know me"?

please bring back the letters section. i loved it! not to mention the
archive including past top 50 lists, best of decade features, oh and
the release date page was a useful resource though somewhat tideous to
navigate.

wow, i just realized that i wrote this disgruntled morning
correspondence (yes? correspond please) without stating my main beef.

plase insert this in the paragraph to which it would be most easily
grafted (from gtalk. forgive) :

what why?
how are you so disgruntled toward pitchfork that you are driven to
write them a letter?

Sent at 11:18 AM on Tuesday
the lack of feedback section visible to readers making their
"indie-administration" seemingly unapproving and suspicious of
dissenters
oh
i guess i didn't mention that in the letter, i should cut and paste
excuse me

!!!

ps

good thing there is no letter section
i don't proof read

Current mood: precise

i obviously have too much time on my hands right now.

the customer service desk's worst nightmare

from my "Dell Satisfcation Survey"



16. For you to recommend Dell, what would we need to improve?

well integrity in advertising would be the first thing. your television ad campaigns have done a great job of convincing viewers that superior customer service and technical support are synonymous with the name "DELL". i find your products to be pretty solid. however i find the majority of your customer service reps (that i have spoken with) to be sloppy in executing requests, aurally difficult to understand (in terms of clarity of speech/accent), and ill-equipped to address the most issues in the least number of calls also known as "efficiency". that last observation of mine is not directed at the agents individually but at Dell's set-up of bouncing calls to different departments and not enabling every agent to make simple account adjustments i.e. change of billing/mailing/e-mail address must be done online, but no matter how many times we try to make this adjustment our old address REMAINS tied to account which recently resulted in nearly 6 weeks time wasted trying to have a box (come on people! a box??) sent to the correct address simply so i could have my notebook sent in for repair.

i digress. i understand that mistakes happen. i make them too! but, i find it terribly convenient that of all the times i've called dell only two calls have ended with me feeling confident that my issues would be resolved, and that on both of those occasions the agent informed me that i would be receiving a satisfaction survey. by the time the first survey arrived in my inbox it had turned out that my first positive experience was anything but positive as the agent sent the box to the wrong address after asking me for the mailing address, and verbally confirming it. i filled out the form as generously as possible but made comments at the end. i've yet to receive a response to my comments and questions.

it seems to me that agents only send out surveys when the customer sounds pleased. if this is the case then i feel even more swindled by promises of great service seeing as unsatisfied customers are either ignored or not given the oppurtunity to dissent.

in summary, for me to recommend dell you will need to:
- hire more agents that can speak intelligibly
- sincerely address the issue of customer satisfaction
and
- offer more systems/software directed to the arts minded consumer, since i'm a music student and i wouldn't conceivably recommend anything but the products made by apple computers for those with serious interests in producing quality artwork.

17. Thank you for your positive rating. Please let us know what we did well.

i'm sorry that i didn't catch her name

what you did well was hire whoever it was that i spoke with to reformat my computer.

she was great.

give her a raise.

and clone her.

"i haven't felt that terrible in a long time. one of my worst fears is
waking up, or turning around and everything being completely opposite
to how you had perceived it, and just feeling completely lost. i have
dreams about it all the time- things like no one understanding what
i'm saying, or me not understanding them, or me trying to escape
something but i can't move because there's no gravity etc. just really
terrifying crippling things that completely disorient me and saturday
was like that."

...and realize that 3 weeks later nothing has progressed.

Current mood: provincial


it's the end of a week- the end of another appreciably minor epoch- meaning a second running of the credits is in order.

things i have gained:

1. vibrant internal visuals of the second annual "gnyra-roberts vermillion fair" themed retreat
2. hope that tangible photos will soon surface
3. a long awaited dwindling rearview of edmonton seasoned by: prairie in the foreground, calexico/iron & wine, crush talk, old jokes, new concerns, wisps of our ill-fated nothern lights courting one another betwixt rainclouds, reciprocation & encouragement of the calibre that only weathered friends can provide
4. bloated bellyfuls of hastily picked & ingested rasberries & peas
5. recurring daydreams of a humble acreage life (silted pantcuffs, weeding, rotortilling, coyotes, restful nights, scenic commutes & "breaking even" being more than enough)
6. renewed faith in my ability to sense the emotional climate of friends' hearts and plan/de-plan accordingly
7. a chance to willfully discredit my clairvoyance and transfer the propers to our open congress of hearts
8. ever increasing amazement at loved ones' willingness to accept my meager social downpayments on the adoration they are owed
9. the need to point out that you wish you had friends like megan heather and caylie gnyra
10. partial reconciliation with the albertan landscape*
11. one high speed chase (in opposing direction to the day's course) to foil what we thought was an attempt to displace vegreville's legacy by way of flatbed truck **
12. a favourable functional footwear forecast for the fall
13. deeper appreciation for the noble lunacy of hermit life
14. closure

and one credit cancelled out by sub-equatorial opportunities:

15. new bearings but no one to longboard with





** it was only the 'parade replica', silly girls.

* special thanks to:
more derelict prairie structures than i could ever make designs to infiltrate, far off hay bales looking like manna (or brown sugar mini-wheats for those minds not steeped in old covenant associations), undulating oceans of knee high grass, pontiac's choice of crystalline front windows, and paul brandt's baritone. mmhm.

you may think me a materialist. you would be right.

[11 Aug 2006 | Friday]

11:39 AM - you may think me a materialist. you would be right.
Current mood: shalom


after putting it through multiple stain removal treatments and washing machine cycles my favourite hoodie is seemingly ruined (by two of my favourite people armed with my third favourite hot sauce). i was initially distressed at the thought of losing the functionality of my comfort-wear staple but with a recent shift of perspective i may not only be able to salvage my old friend- i will rejuvenate it with a patch of nondescript material, a stencil and some purple/black fabric paint.

if you're shaking your head at my vulnerability for fleeting trinkets and biodegradable shells ("things of the flesh") then you are entitled to that gesture. what you call materialism i call stewardship. i'm still looking for a way to resurrect my favourite jeans circa 1997 through 2005. if 90 percent of the ass wasn't fallen out and they weren't so unbearably high waisted i'd be donning them now. and laughing. until i busted a seam.

on a lighter and decidedly more reconciliatory note, not five minutes after last night's greenonioncakeredchilipastegate scandal i recognized my very deep brown estranged best friend from highschool, nadeesha, and her sister kanchana (in almost complete darkness) then promptly forgot all about my sweater. we slowly grew apart after highschool. the seeming separation culminated with a stiff e-mail correspondence last fall regarding cd's i had lent her that she wanted to return (yankee hotel foxtrot, two from dave matthews, & the watchmen's "in the trees") which i received as a cold offer after long months of cancelled lunches and unreturned phone messages. the three of us stood on the hill (i'm volunteering at folkfest this weekend by the way, come visit me at bike lock-up) sharing hugs, kisses, knowing looks, old oft-told stories, regrettful tears and family updates.

i'm not a person to admit regretting anything but i regret exposing such a sizeable artery to rupture between my best friend and myself. we both agreed that it was good to not see one another for a time- a natural and beneficial pause to recognize the immense value of a person who loves you unconditionally- but we both regretted allowing ourselves to feel offended by the brief departure.

if the most natural path is for closeness to end, please depart from it on good terms with well wishes. there is little more wasteful than pining over times long gone or nursing grudges that only fester without improvement.

i'm getting nappish.

i love you, friends. if we don't speak for a while or again then let's agree to implant a knowledge, deep in our chests, that we wish each other well.


ps.- illfit outfit is in this week's vue weekly on pg. 50 thanks to joel "mole jelly" kelly because he wants all o y'all to know that we are headlining next week thursday, august 17th at the sidetrack. $5 cover.

3:13 PM - straight up downsizing
Current mood: what?


i'm not gonna lie. i am shallow. the key is that i realize i am shallow and disregard myself accordingly.

i take the kids that i support to the edmonton public library branch in their neighborhood. this place is a wellspring of entertainment, information and characters characters characters.

you've probably heard my library crush story by now. this has nothing to do with him *as i look over my shoulder as though looking at the clock, not at mr. library crush, when i'm CLEARLY wearing a watch*

anyway, i think there are junior & highschool student volunteers that reshelve the books to free up the clerks for acquiring holds and checking out my items in that much appreciated awkward but totally enticing way that they do.

oh yeah, so this kid has been working or volunteering or whatever excuse he has for putzing around the library with his head bobbing to the side all year. i can't stand him. i have no legitimate reason for being so repulsed. he's not ugly, he seems pleasant enough, and i've never seen or heard him do anything other than shelves books in a leisurely manner. but, (big but) he has these bulbous glassy eyes that never blink, too much gel in his nondescript hair, a limp napoleon lip and this shockingly large ghetto booty. why? where does it come from? everytime i see him the junk in his trunk is too much for me to handle. i shiver and turn away.

not today. sometime since june he has grown 3 inches and i'm pretty sure his body ate his booty and all is well.

i was probably jealous.

that line is from a song by the way. it's by idaho called dantanna (song download/lyrics). i'm on a mission to meet another idaho enthusiast in person. unlikely.

i'm too lazy to blog this week. as if it matters whether i blog or not. so... here's a myspace survey. i abstain most of the time.

1. In two words, explain what ended your last relationship?
ummm (eek)

"stubborn" & "overbearing" bad combo

2. When was the last time you shaved?
hmmm, saturday?

3. What were you doing this morning at 8am?
dreaming like a little brown bug in her bed

4. What were you doing 15 minutes ago?
playing with cellphone multimedia. hyuck. *i can't see without my GLASSES*

5. Are you any good at math?
1/8 + 1/8 = 1/4
i'm a fraction master
what's a reciprocal?

6. Your prom night?
i was a historian, i mocked all of the teachers at the podium, i refused to sit with my date, then i danced with my dad until his tweed jacket irritated my skin. i'm not good at these multimedia rituals of social scrutiny. i washed my hands of grad the minute it became too uncomfortable.

7. Do you have any famous ancestors?

what does it mean when i'm more relaxed at work with mallard-like sax blasts in my left ear than i have been in the last two months? i'm not sure but i can assure you the answer is closest to "living the life abundant".

topic of the week

[19 Oct 2006 | Thursday]

8:27 PM - topic of the week
Current mood: covert

Do you want us to be more than friends?

"i've never understood what that means. does it not imply that the 'friend' status both excludes and is inferior to other types of relationships? what are these other types and why do they not count as friendship above all else? how about this: i would not like us to be less than friends."

in other completely unrelated (though intrinsically related) news:

last night: mr. library crush of the infamous Obligatory Awkward Crushlist was once again in the same place as i, the free our mercury show at le black dog. (le gag me & everyone else making use of "le"). after noticing his presence i proceeded to:

1. interrupt his utterance of regrets at missing our last show with a drunken, "pffttts don't worry about it..."
2. plug our next show & make our recording exploits of late known
3. realise that i'm becoming anxious (it's a requirement of the crush list)
4. knock foreheads as i say "whhha??"
5. briefly regain some sort of decorum before accosting him on the unharmed side of his brow with my $3.50 pilsner as i point at the door
6. "iiiiiiii've gotta go"
7. lean into the getaway
8. rejoice at the luck of alex peepee's ability to confirm that mr. library crush does exist and therefore i'm not joking about the crushlist
9. stop neglecting the other crushes: bus crush, supermarket crush, work crush, disney movie crush, miscellaneous ridiculous crush(es), myspace crush, out-of-town crush etc.

i know. i shake my head at me too.

hi.
as much as i love myspace i can't bring myself to make any kind of statement here.
times are tough but i'm really encouraged by those close to me and those further but still willing to offer support from the periphery.

many thanks to you all.

i may be blogging here (on a commemorative but unfortunately titled site, in my usual irreverant way) if you are interested in indulging my rather selfish urge to avoid telling every person i speak to in the coming days the same vague details as to what has happened.

i'm really not as upset as i sound; i'm just tired.

please wish me rest and endurance.
