what a rocky ride...
ever been ready to get defensive only to realize you don't have a damn leg to stand on? you just have to sit there and take blow after blow. okay, all of you perfect people haven't been through this, but i basically needed to have my head surgically removed from my ass.
wise up sucker...

thanks everyone for the friendly words! i'm just about ready to launch the apology boat, let's hope it floats. it's always the stupid little things that lead to the worst trouble.
what is my lesson? get a better internal filter so i quit shooting my fool mouth off.
oh well, at least i got to dance like a mad fool last night. anyone looking for...

dear darling: never apologize for being extraordinarily you (true, i'm biased and crushed out on you, but i would say this to anyone!) 
stickyrice:
I worked at a Swedish restaurant once and I was told once that dogs used to pee on the lutefisk outside the old-time Swedish markets. The customers liked the flavor (which is already pretty much along dog-pee lines) even better.
man my words taste fucking awful...
is it not possible to live without having secrets? well i guess my life would be boring. but some things have to go to the grave, no matter how distant your confessor, because once the words are out there, it's anyone's game.
i am not very good at this interpersonal relations stuff. you know, getting along with other people...

Hahahahaha!!! I love Frank Whaley!
Have you ever seen "Career Opportunities", with him and Jennifer Connelly? BRILLIANT!
I can't make out Rose tattoo (since I'm at work and blowing pictures on nude women wouldn't be the most prudent of decisions)...but I'll check it out when I get home, thanks!
I'm going to get the cover of the "Ghastlycrumb Tinies" on my forearm...which is his most popular, I know... and then these bat designs he did for the stage version of "Dracula", I'm going to get of each chest...not that you asked, but at any rate...
I hoep you are enjoying the trip, BTW!

I have befriended you! I hope you do not mind...lemme know if you do and I'll remove you asap...
Yes; It is amazing how introspective and thoughtfull some people are, here...it's a very nice change of pace from people who have all the answers, or who are too busy living for the moment to give thought to anything (not that there's anyting wrong with either type of person...it's just that most of my friends are either know-it-alls or more more interested in the visceral than thoughtfull).
I feel quite lucky to have met the people I have here.
And defintely cheaper than therapy!

i actually ended up getting the ralph shirt later. couldn't resist. it is kinda sad though, that i'm 20 and almost every piece of clothing i own has cartoon characters on it.

People seem to be WAY to paranoid about diseases...to the point of stupidity. Legitimate precautions are a must...but not going to the Asian market?
Genjokoan was wise...I prefer the philosophy of Roosevelt Franklin from Sesame Street; "I dig me some string beans". OK..I don't know exactly what that means...forgive me...it's late(early) and I haven't been to sleep yet.

Yes, I followed a link to your journal from someone else's page about a month ago and put you on my friends list to keep track of you. I guess that makes me a lurker. It's not often you find someone blogging from Wallis and Fortuna. (sp?) It occurs to me now that I should have spoken up, but what could I possibly contribute to the Night Of The Swingers Club post?
Anyway, well me, friend. Always good to meet another Naussica fan. I liked it better than Spirited Away and Princess Mononoke, which were supposed to be his masterworks, yet I seem to be the only person who's seen it. Go figure.

I imagine vegimite is something like anchovies in that it helps to be introduced to it in the proper context. The lunatic people who keep feeding it to me over the years give me a spoonful straight, which is a bit... well, not good at any rate. But I very much like anchovies in context, and I imagine if I were eating vegimite with something it could be something I'd really like.
I've been trying to read more on the chakras, I'm having a difficult time finding something that delves more into them than most books do. Any recommendations on the subject?
Speaking of studies...I see you also mention faeries in your "Into..." section. Yay That's something I've done a fair bit of studying in, historically and otherwise.

being alive is really getting on my nerves. i have not moved beyond a state of extended adolescence. i still rebel from responsibility, i'm still moody and defensive...i felt so clever for hitting on this description of my mental block, but i haven't done much with it in the 2 years since.

I have 5 pairs of shoes: 1 set of indoor soccer shoes for indoor soccer, 1 set of indoor soccer shoes for normal walking, 1 set of cleats, 2 sets of dress shoes.
My indoor soccer shoes have lasted forever and there isn't even a scratch on them. I swear they'll go on forever.
But you have to care about people...otherwise they'll eat all your ice cream

if you're not at home (i'm assuming somewhere in canada is your home) where are you? sounds interesting.
I am so very sorry. I feel 100% responsible.
I hope everything is okay, and please accept my apologies for being a nosey bastard in the first place.
As far as this goes, nothing is going to happen. I don't know much. but I know I'm no homewrecker. Even if the guy was a jerk, I don't think I could make a move on the wife of another man...of course, who knows, really...but in this situation, at least, I think I'll just settle for a secret crush.
I just needed to vent my frustrations, and perhaps play up my own ego for a moment. Becuase I'm so very attracted to her, and because it seems like my ability to meet the right girl is nonexistant, so I'm currently in the state of fighting the oncoming bitterness.
Anways...again, I'm truly sorry for what happened, and I hope you're able to work things out. Goodness...I feel like shit...
