Have you ever wondered who had a crush on you in the past, or even in the present?
Some friends and I were having a conversation about this while sitting on their back porch chain smoking. We were talking about wondering if people had crushes on us, and about telling people that we had crushes on them. There are a whole lot of people I've...

I don't wonder that as much as I used to (which was a lot, sadly)...but yeah, every once in awhile.
trevallion:
Hey, if I remember correctly you have been to a Star Trek convention, whereas I have not. So...hah!
Do you ever feel like everbody else has someone?
Probably not, because if you're not me, then you're part of "everybody else".
I'm in one of those moods. I spent several hours of carpool in the back seat with a new couple. Gross. I couldn't help but say a few mean things. It's okay though, she doesn't get it most of the time I make...

hi
it_thing_hard_on:
I know I said I'd call you tonight but I had a little mishap with my phone over the weekend and long story short I lost my entire contact list. So I have no actual means with which to call you. So I hope you get this message so that either A) You can call me so that I have your number in my phone again or B) That by leaving this message (at such an ungodly hour no less) I don't look a jerk.
Yesterday a friend told me that a friend of his who I met briefly recognized me. If you know what I mean. I really didn't expect that that would be happening four, four and a half years later. It's not like it bothers me, I kind of think it's funny, especially since the dude wanted to remain anonymous (I'm guessing he asked my friend not...

You're not a nosy bitch. But I suppose I was kind of being a big tease by mentioning it after the fact.
So I guess it's tomorrow now. So I worked for 10 hours and then I had to drive home from Redmond at 4:30-ish in the morning and I got this "energy coffee" at 7-11 and it didn't really hit me until right around the time I got home. I don't know when I'm going to be able to get to sleep because I feel wired...

I found some ukelele video a few weeks ago that I meant to show you when I saw you on, and I totally can't remember where I found it. It was pretty cool though.

Seattle in august? Hmmm... could be a possiblity.
Miss you.
Miss you.
Dear friends,
You should let me know when you're doing things sometimes. I need to get out of this town more often for things other than work. If you don't have my phone number and you think you should (and you're a person I know who might call me for doing things) send me a messagey thing.
Also: I almost died the other day. I...

What a coincidence, I was still up at crazy o'clock. 
No worries though. Admittedly it was kind of a shot in the dark.

Had a wicked good time last night, thanks again. I think that's one of those movies that reveals subtle little nuances over time that you didn't catch right away because the more I think about it, the more I liked it.
And thanks for your unwitting part in ending my streak of bad luck on Friday the 13th.

"Hello?"
"Jason? Guess what? I'm going to be in Portland in about two or three hours. Want to hang out?"
This is how I do trips to Portland. Got an email a couple days ago about an art show, and thought "hey, that sounds fun, and I'm not busy that night." Turns out it's DebraJean's gallery? Hadn't seen her and her fella in years, and...

Going back a ways, I guess you were right after a fashion. That I would come out to an event and awkwardly not talk to you. You want an award or something? 
By the way, happy much-belated birthday. Sincerely.

I could probably do it while you're not looking and then skulk away. I'm stealthy like that.
In all seriousness though, I've never especially excelled in social situations. You can ask anyone. Over time I got better at it, going out with the same people week in, week out. Then even if new people entered the circle I versed enough to roll with it. But if I had to guess I'd say all these months of not going out have gotten me out of practice. Kind of lame to be going through in my 30's, but there it is.
I'll tell you what, if I see you at an event I will promise to talk to you. I won't promise that it will be the most scintillating conversation you've ever had or that it wouldn't totally awkward, but I'll do it all the same. If, that is, you promise me that you won't beat me up about my nervousness. I do enough of that on my own.

David Lynch is going to be in Seattle tomorrow, and I can't think of anyone I still know around here who would be excited about that and would want to go with me.
It's even my day off.
Any of you remotely excited about David Lynch?

There's also "when you were mine" which is written by Prince, that should tell you right there. Also, Amy Grant isn't on the safe list?!
minimalism:
I really miss you. I wish we could hang out more often then once every three years. I do have friends moving to Seattle this fall, so maybe that'll get me out there. I know I keep saying it, but soon I hope.
So I'm staying up all night/day in an attempt to create a semi-normal sleep schedule for myself. I'll be going to bed sometime tonight, in the actual night time. I'm really hoping I don't crash before then. Luckily I have a partner in crime. And by crime, I mean staying awake.
How are things with Erin? I've been waking up ridiculously late (hence the staying...

Have you seen The Descent yet?

I know that I talked to you on NYE. What the hell did I say? Was it at least entertaining?
Nothing lasts forever, even cold November snow!
...at least it fucking better not. I'm tired of snow, and I have to drive someplace weird tomorrow. I forget where.

you have to drive someplace weird? weird like renton, or weird like charlies chocolate factory?
i havnt gotten sick of the snow yet, cuz there barely was any here at my place. the only thing thats been bugging me lately is that i can never seem to sleep and someone keeps parking in my parking space.

gnilkrum:
I did. I was going to leave you a note here but i have been super busy. I will have to go back and study the contents of the message. I remember you saying drunk and santarchy but the rest I will have to listen to again. We are drunk dial buddies hahaha. I guess it is my turn next....
Dudes.
There must be something very wrong with me.

Mine was good, except that the only other people that would eat my stuff were people who were completely unaware that it didn't contain any dead stuff. What's wrong with you?
trevallion:
You shoulda called or something. Tawnya, Chris, Jak, and I all went to Remj's place last night instead of the regular karaoke deal.

I don't hate god. I don't give him/her/it enough thought to hate.
I went to several concerts, spent lots of money, work has been hectic and I haven't been sleeping. Thus I have been burnt out.

Yeah, I just basically go through life doing/saying whatever I want, only making sure to respect others or that I don't come off like a juvenile jerk if I don't happen to respect them or their beliefs. It's not perfect and it doesn't work all the time, but my success rate ain't been too bad either.
