Well...here is a halloween pic before I disappeared mentally...

Went to a "keg" party last night...
I never thought there were so many dorks in the world
I felt totally at ease.
Weird...i just don't think we exist...actually ran into two girls who go to the Portfolio Center, this high falutin design school here, and offered them a job...felt weird giving my card to people...

I love PBS

It is one of the only charities I give to regularly.
I don't have cable and I don't want it, and I think that most of this is due to PBS.

I love 60 minutes
We watched another "Ken Burns" American Hero,
It was Thomas Jefferson
A perplexing character
so often thought of as this american god/hero
the show on him really...

re: your new job
(in woody allen voice): need an usher?
[hopefully the context of the quote is known to you and my terrible woody allen imitation won't alienate you]

do you do the sunday crossword?

the south tempts me with its catfish.
i dated a girl who looked like peewee and smelled like boiled hotdogs. she had really nice veins in her arm. i'm no junky, but i love veins. i guess she had a runners build, so you know the veins popping through the skin thing i'm talking about, right?

i like in _fargo_ how that witness described steve b. as "litte weird fella" or something like that. i get that a lot too. i love it. being an imp is awesome.

those aren't all my cats, but like any other sensitive indie boy, i cherish and love cats. send me photos of yours.

ergh...

secret bruises
in tender places
one lost black glove,
maybe two
so pretty were the girls
all in black
cross-eyed
foul breathed
and whipping
beads, jet
corsets, tight, tighter
mink wrapped around a
much too small dress

well, that's one way I would describe this weekend
or as much of it as I can remember...
one minute I was all got up, then next...

Wild! Should I be glad I didn't go to the party? I was sick all day. It was just the flu though frown and not some drinking.

No your not wierd ...your unique and way cools!
bishop:
you are NOT weird...I like the way your mind works......it's like people that come in my house and think it's weird because it does not look like a Crate and Barrell catalog......eclectic mixture of things I like including Disney, marrionettes hanging from the ceiling, different art, bondage photos, gargoyles on the wall, Pottery Barn....just everything from inside...

I like to come here just to say your name...."Colette"...

in school did anyone ever call you salmon colette?

Mmmrfff

I am eating popcorn for lunch today
It is good.
goooo--oood, like Frankenstein would cry.

It was rainy yesterday and today. I love rain, but not when I am in it, I was cold and shivering all day so I had to get a bottle of port and drink it with mon ami and some hohos.

Which are better?
HoHos or Swiss Cake Rolls?...

i'm not sure how i feel about this boyfriend...
and hoho's are better.
ghostina:
SWISS CAKE ROLLS! mmmm *smack* *wallowing around on the floor clutching tummy*

SO it's been a job interviewin' week for me! i had one today...that went well and i have a second interview tomorrow...it looks like i have the job if i want it..but i'm not sure i do. the money would be *really* good...but it wouldn't be anything to do with graphic design..it would be selling artwork to businesses....kinda sucky, but the people there are really cool...all young and creative people..they were playing rage against the machine and techno music in the office! lol

anyway then the job i REALLY want i went and filled out an application today...In house graphic artist for the Masquerade! how cool would that be? the receptionist chick had pink hair!! so i know there's no dress code! smile

anyway...hope work is going well for you... if i take the job in norcross...yeah that's where it is...it's off of 85N, so if you want, we could carpool in the morning! i would pass right by your exit everyday..sooo that would be neato bandito!

kisskisskissses

we need to go dancing soon! NOW!

the fishing description was awesome. i too, have been fishing w/ hungry dogs.

i don't know about your location, but here, it's fucking 'dress week' at Ross. there's no suit week here. it's making me wonder if this is some kind of Ross regional scam...

full meal weed popcorn and pbs. killer.

i don't know alot about bob vila online but i do know this:

bosses on vacation are the best kind of bosses.

thank you for your interest in the robot army.

unfortunately, that robot is now out of service due to the likes of pbr, some fucked up blues, and a penchant for the lanes. please use the above contact link for further projects, scams, innuendo, and pyramid schemes.

Something I wrote a long while ago...sad and not so.

She doesn't think I love her. She thinks it is fake. Does she think I am fake? Well she is right. I don't really exist. I am my image. She fell in awe of an image. Most do. But she is not most. She is a true artist. She is a writer, one of passion,...

oh my goodness Colette, dear oh dear!
That was. . .God I don't want to sound cheezee or ridiculous by saying, 'oh it was so beautiful! ah i'm enraptured......*sigh*'
seriously, you express yourself so eloquently and my god I know how you feel and i thought i was the only freak who felt like a 'dike'
my friend dee always has her nails and toenails beautifully painted in reds and light pinks. and allen's sister is such a girly girl sometimes, her brows are so manicured and perfect and her nails are always painted with outrageous colors. sometimes i feel this horrible self-consciousness like when i see people look my way and they smirk or grin, or laugh or whisper to others, i think they "must" be talking about me. i must be so hideous and strange.
i don't know what growing up for you was like, but school and church *when i went* was the worst! i hate those damned cliques and snobs and the stupid people not just in the south, but everywhere, when they gossip and mock and sneer, and say immature and ridiculous things!

oh my! sorry. i know that wasn't what your writing was really about. i mean i find myself trying to tidy up my perpetually dissheveled hair and looking in a mirror every chance i get (well not that obsessively, but you know) critiqueing my body's shape, my pimple, my hair, which i'm trying to grow out, and sometimes i just have to throw my hands in the air and say, "ahhh fuck it charlie brown!"
but so this is how artists are, we're self-conscious, introspective, and freaks sometimes. i sometimes feel shunned and liked. but i do have a tendency for the ludicrous and the craziest things flow from my mouth and fingers.

you're the loveliest colette
