i am going to die either one of two ways:
1. "buried in paperwork," ala that guy in brazil, except my paperwork will be bills and unsent letters and traffic tickets and things that need to be renewed and filled out and turned in and mailed and SASEd and filed away all proper-like. in triplicate.
2. i will be forced to be in an awkward...

i met my ex-boyfriend through an online personals site (that's right! those sometimes actually work!) so before we met, we exhanged about a dozen emails over the course of a week, and i saved all of them, and i was just re-reading them.
i would get just as giddy and giggly now if someone sent me those emails as i did then. i wish more...

i think that if i wrote a novel at this point, it would center largely around how fucked up your relationships are if your only communication is online. before anyone takes this personally, what i mean is that unless you and the other person are both extremely eloquent, never use sarcasm, and are in perpetually good moods, it's so difficult to maintain a relationship -- romantic OR friendship -- solely online. words without facial expressions or tone of voice, particularly when conveying emotion, don't do the trick. too much of a chance of misunderstanding, misinterpreting.

but don't emoticons pick up the contextual slack?!?
i don't have the moxie for novel writing. the internet has ruined me. if i have to scroll, i'm clicking out.
maybe you're on to something here.

i went and saw howard dean speak monday night.
previously, the largest crowd for a presidential candidate outside of his home state was 1,500.
there were 3,200 there monday night. in TEXAS, the home state of the current president and the incumbent. that is unfuckingprecedented.
and he was AMAZING and it brought tears to my eyes and although i was previously skeptical that...

I heard rumours that he would announce his candidacy awhile back, but I never followed-up (seeing as how I live in another country and all), but I'm glad to see that things are going well.
As for Neil Pollack, he seems pretty cool. The part in his blog about Michael Savage is bang-on. I've talked to the admins of michaelsavagesucks and I'm all for their cause. He's truly an evil, evil man.
Yay on the Flaming Lips. Hope the show was good.

new orleans is having a delayed reaction on me. my face is so bloated today that i look like i have the mumps. i feel lethargic and permanently hungover. it's no good.
crazy timing.
