ATTENTION EVERYONE EVER:
You are not allowed to tell me to trust anyone or to open up ever a fucking gain. Here's the facts:
The system works for the system's convenience.
Trying to humanize the system and trying to get the system to work on empathy are the acts of a madman.
If you choose to ignore the lesson of "our way or the highway"...

It's weird to me...I have a MySpace account as well as this and I'm like 2 versions of the same thing. I sort of expect people I know from my job (i.e. students) to read, so I am slightly different version of myself...

My new tattoos
Hey! Got my tattoos. Too tired to say much, but to all of you who CLAIM that once the endorphins kick in it doesn't hurt...you're a bunch of liars! 
2.5 hours in a chair in roanoke, va. It was like Liquid fire, but I think they turned out okay...

I love them, you freshly inked maniac!
They're so natural on you.
Congratulations on bogging down and getting them done.
Too bad you didn't get Calvin pissing and then washing his hands, though.
It's been a long time coming, but you got through the pain and you're left with two gorgeous pieces of art on your body. I'm genuinely proud of you and I'm getting all verklempt, or however it's spelled.

Oh! I just remembered...
I won't have internet in my apartment for 2 days as they "repair the network." This means no tattoo pix until Thursday.
It's my mom's b-day today. Happy birthday, mom. I'm getting inked.
To quote Depeche Mode--Man! I'm a whiney git!

LE Fact--Johnny Cash's cover of personal Jesus is pretty amazing.

Hey. You disconnected from AIM, so I'm assuming the netlessness is in full effect and you weren't offended by me saying "GAH! Why, Claire? Why?" to the point that you had to leave abruptly in disgust.
I can't wait to see the tattoo pictures. I hope you get your net back in time. I leave for California on Friday, first driving to Buffalo. On the way back, I either have a connecting flight from North Carolina or am driving back to Toronto from North Carolina. I'm not sure which it is, but if it's the latter, I'm full on going to take a detour and surprise the living pants out of your goofy ass.
You're a good son. Just don't buckle under the pressure to get "MOM" in a heart on your bicep.
Oh, and you should really download some Metric if you haven't heard them. I always feel self conscious recommending music to you because you've given me 90% of the music I listen to and love, but you may quite like Metric. It's a woman fronted vaguely sample based band, and the lead singer chickie is a former ESA music theatre major. I recommend I.O.U., Succexy and Combat Baby.
Have fun with your tattoos, and DON'T get an artsy sunburst tattoo on a whim or I'll give you love handles with my hang ten, baby. You KNOW what I'm talking about.
(So kidding.)

I am officially nervous about getting my tattoos tomorrow.
I like the idea, but what if it looks like shit?
Who knows?
I might wuss out and just get one on my shoulder ( left front and right back)...we'll see.
I'll post pics regardless tomorrow.
Much love,

LE fact--I'm kind of a little bitch sometimes. "Do these pants make me look fat?"

Don't be a pussy. Get the tattoos where you want to get them. They'll look amazing, and then the girls will line up around the block to swoon. And after the swoon, they'll go on to the next kiosk and get a punch from me. (Straight to the baby maker, no less.) Well, maybe not really.
I love that you can be a little bitch. And no, those pants make your ass look terrific. You rock the glutes, baby. I ga-ron-tee. (Accent and everything pour vous, baby.)
Have fun in Virginia Beach, or Vee-atch, as I have dubbed it.

Oh, dang. I forgot to thank you for the compliments. You made me blush. However, I say the same things about you all the time, so I guess it's only fair that I get the flushed cheeks once in a while.
Yeah, the Chuang-Tzu is good, but if I was a bit taller I would have been able to capture an alright picture of the shelf above it which reads like a summation of Claire, AKA Dave's Little Helper: 4 Books on The Simpsons, 5 books on Taoism, 2 Books of Yeats and countless books on music.
And I fuckin' hate Jared. "He has sex appeal of biscuit with two shits inside."
Oh, and congrats on the friend.
Haha. That sounds somehow mean.

If I won the lottery, I'd do nothing but work out, run a small label and play poker.
Mostly, it'd be so I don't have to go to the gym at 6am to get anything done. I'm f'n BEAT!

if i won the lottery, i'd go to college.
i'd get a business degree.
i'd open a gentlemen's club somewhere that has sandy lagoons, and i'd only dance if i wanted to.
then i'd sell real estate on the side.
it would be awesome.
as it is now i dance to try to make money for college, then feel heartsick when i tell customers that's my plan... and they roll their eyes at me because all dancers say that. these guys aren't stupid. they know that with most dancers, "i need money to go to college" means "i plan to turn the money you just gave me into powder and snort it up my nose". and i'm not like that. ugh.
good luck with the lottery, though. maybe i should start playing

Okay, so I'm back to seeing a shrink. I live in a distant suburb of the middle-of-nowhere so my options are limited. Anyway, this lady I'm seeing is this really sweet hippy who is all into dreams and hypnotherapy. Now, I've been able to lucid dream since I was 10 or so so I don't put much stock in them, but...

There are at least two reasons I love this post (and you.) 1. Necessary lies and 2. a Regina Spektor CD. Way to make me smile AFTER showing me your plans for a very 70s move in. Gah. Gah and raar.
Man! I have not written a thing for a while. I haven't even checked out the women on this site for a bit.

P.S. The band I envision will be a Big Black meets Unwound meets Minor Threat meets Soul Coughing thing...I just wish I was 1/6 as talented as any of those guys. I'd also like dual male/female vocals.

Get your tattoo when you come to Montreal. I'll hold your hand.
I'm more about creating album titles and concepts. I enjoy "The Will Smith Songbook" as a concept. I mean, I see it containing covers of old standards such as "Parents Just Don't Understand" as well as new favourites like "Miami", "Switch" and "Gettin' Jiggy Wit It." Huh? Huh? Yeah, I thought so.
If you want dual male/female vocals, I'm your girl.
There is nothing cuter than the fact that you're excited about the the new HP book. Well, except maybe if you AND your dog (or brother) were really excited about the new HP book.
You make me smile. Oh, and check out my crush.
Me = Obvious

I think if I formed a band right now, I'd call it "Ape Ack Ack."
Does it sound like Ipacac to anyone else?

LE fact: I was in a "band" called SCM (Society Controlled Minorities) and one called False Positive in high school. Both of which were nothing more than me and friends trying to sound like PIL and DRI respectively.
Wonderful lyrics...

Hahaha! I'll wear your band t-shirt and throw my panties at your angsty self. Yesterday, I was looking through old journals and I found some of my old lyrics. Not only was I trying to emulate riot grrrl bands, it didn't actually make any sense. It's always bad when you read something you wrote and can't decipher it. I do make up the best band names ever, though. My band names smoke your band names. "Un-Spokane Rule", "Guarenteed Put-Out" and my future all-slut rap collective "Walla Walla Washington Bomb Squad."

I know how you feel. I hate to be a huge hipster stereotype, but I was recently working costumes with some girls that I had always sort of considered dippy and one of them popped in a mix CD... Le Tigre? No shit. Then some of my girls were talking about Dinosaur Jr. And everyone listens to Modest Mouse thanks to the OC. I want to punch myself in the eyes (?) when the words come out of my mouth, but "I've been listening to that since you were in diapers!" always comes to mind. I'm going to come join you in the jaded corner if you don't mind. Want to smuggle along a little TV so that we can watch Kung Fu movies?
We could have a snowball fight.
Please?
