On Our Way Back From Village Inn
Me: Yeah, but I don't wanna be a ho.
Jared: No, being a ho takes work. I mean, ho doesn't just fall out of the sky.

ragtag 0 rian 0: maybe they're just bad boyfriends

Okonomi10: they were all very nice to me

ragtag 0 rian 0: my dog is nice to me but she also shits on the floor

ragtag 0 rian 0: and that's a "bad dog!"

I've been wanting a second job for a little while so when Adriel told me about an opening at MadDogs, I jumped on it. I had an interview today, and the manager basically told me all I had to do was get TABC certified and I'm in! I can't wait to get started.

Do Not Open Your Door

I was just warned by the roommates not to open the door to this man. He goes around knocking on doors saying that he needs to inspect your tree(s). He gets you to open the door by saying that he can't hear you through it, and forces his way in. He has sexually assaulted women by using this trick.

With a Bit of Sun and Rain

While Listening to "Tasty Pie"

Right now, my AIM away message reads "Apes of the Impenetrable Forest", signifying what I should be doing, which is reading Apes of the Impenetrable Forest. I know it's only 104 pages. I know it's an amazingly easy read for an anthropological study on the rare coexistence of two species of apes in one niche. I know it's fascinating and embodies everything that has to do with why I fell in love with my major in the first place.

But I just don't want to read it. Not now, at least. So here I am, procrastinating while trying hard to ignore the fact that a comprehensive 2-page summary of the study is due tomorrow at the beginning of class.

I like to pretend that it's a difficult thing to do, procrastinating. I mean, look at it this way: the book is constantly in my field of vision, and every time the sight of it registers in my brain, it triggers a whole series of thoughts about the dire consequences of missing the assignment. Even then, against all logic and all impulses to pick up the damn book, I don't.

The talent! The ambition! Nay, the utter will power that goes into not doing what I should be doing is awe-inspiring! Go me.

... I guess I'll go read it now.

Some Food for Thought

m1yamoto musashi: whats your philosophy on pubes

Okonomi10: on which sex?

m1yamoto musashi: both.

Okonomi10: i don't like bears.

Okonomi10: that's my philosophy

Soooo ...

It's finally over. Being ignored for more than 4 days and being fed excuses for it was the last straw. He didn't feel the need to apologize or to do things differently in the future. Is that how little he thought I was worth? When I was willing to make bigger changes than that, he couldn't throw me a friggin' bone now and again? I won't ever know.

My guess is that he was just waiting for me to do the dirty work for him.

[Ominous foreshadowiiiiiiiiiiing]

Ok, so I have a grand plan. A plan so grand that it will require actual planning. Next weekend, we at the House will build a blanket fort. (We're still deliberating whether boys will be allowed.)

I know most will think of the flimsy couch-forts of our childhoods, but this is different. It will be built high enough to allow an adult to stand upright, include the AC vent to allow better air flow, and have all the comforts of a regular living room .... but in a fort form!

Expect pictures.
