After a long, rambling journal entry last night, I have a short one for today.

I am missing her soooo much.
suoda:
hmm... interesting entry yesterday... are we sheep? perhaps. i like to think that i am not, but that is my selfishness kicking in i suppose. people certainly do buy into trends and once something becomes commercial it succeeds in bringing in a less-dedicated fanbase. i hate it when i hear my favorite underground artists are gaining tons of popularity and then they do a tv commercial to pay the band some money. can you blame them? no. can they blame us for complaing about the affects of selling out? not really. it happens and will continue to happen forever.

so maybe we do simply follow in line to and fro to the mind-settling music from One Flew Over A Cuckoo's Nest. we all know that's what america wants us to do anyway.

I've spent the last two hours playing Elastica's first album, "Elastica". I played along with my amp only set to 3; it was loud. I'm deaf now.

I'm feeling my age, which is alright, but I think tonight I wanted to feel 21 again.

Let's travel back in time to 1996, to a particular Saturday afternoon. It's the spring, and the trees are frothy...

I can't believe Apple is charging $129 for OS X 10.2, $49 for iTools (.Mac), and $49 for Quicktime 6 Pro with Mpeg 2 playback.

I can't afford to do this every year. It's just ridiculous.

I'm going to start investing in spiral notebooks.

Sometimes I want to throw my computer out the window and get back to the days of pen and paper and mixed tapes. But then I remember how I actually manage to support my social life... frown
digdug:
either that or you start to use Caraccho or Limewire. That's what I do.

Why on earth am I having religious dreams? I don't even believe in anything, so it's bugging me...

I had a wierd dream during a nap this afternoon. Usually I write the wierdest ones down afterwards so they're easier to remember. I saved this one for my journal.

It's my birthday and all sorts of people I haven't seen in years are visiting...

i have no idea what any of it means, but i thought the quilted pew was an interesting touch. a tiny effort towards making the church a comfortable place? thanks to my unschedulable schedule and general lack of long stretches of sleep, i do take naps fairly often. and while reading your post i realized that i never remember dreams from naps. i only remember them from my longer sleep periods... i know it often takes a certain amount of time before one starts to dream, but i'm sure some of my naps are long enough...

p.s. happy birthday! (either real or dreamed)

I've misplaced my paperback! The Outsiders, just as Ponyboy and Johnny were gonna get into that knife fight with the Socs in Chapter 4.

What else have I got on the go for summer reading that I can pick up? I'm a few stories into Nightmares and Dreamscapes by Stephen King. Have an issue of Prism. *sigh*

Damn fucking bedroom is a fucking mess. FUCK...

Basically, 'She dominates All' is a series of erotic cartoons featuring strong women dominating worthless men. It's brilliant. Sock Monkey is the adventures of a toy monkey and his friend, a very drunk toy crow.

Sock Monkey is brilliantly well-written.
Did I mention you're really cute?

There are reasons why we do things, and these reasons are like icebergs.

Scientists have found icebergs that have been around for thousands of years. They can't ever keep a map from one year to the next, though. Currents and thaws and cold, cold winters.

Are you like me? Are you ever tempted to lay down deep inside a memory and wish you never had...

Isn't the virtual world an amazing thing? Here it is that you think I am popular (it's just because I move around a lot, post on the boards ( I have 615 postings ?!?!), drop complementary messages or respond to questions with the voice of reason), but in the real world it is quite the opposite. I don't ever do anything socially with people, my phone probably hasn't rang in 3 months (besides solicitations). So just think about that mr. puddle splasher.

I tried to stay inside a memory for as long as possible but when i finally came up for air I realized that the present was so amazing. And now that is evolving into the future and I am terrified and in awe of what that might hold...yes, I do want to say "FREEZE!"

I once had a desktop picture in SG Army. But now it's gone. Who knows why. It was probably unloved.

You must tell O. It was surely an accident. The more vectors the better, I always say.

I've hit some gloomy, uphill battles recently. Deep trenches of shit. Pinnapple grenades and mustard gas. Lacrymal IV's. I'm in for the long haul, but things aren't pretty.

"Allison, I said, we're sinking"

1am - This is odd. I'm getting very intrigued by bonsai trees. Thought a) The idea of wilderness that bonsai trees represent is very different from the idea in North America and Europe, don't you think? Cornice. Both ideas are psychotic, mind you. One tries to mold nature into a pure but rigid beauty that is supposed to be a...

7pm - Something in me just vibrated when I opened a birthday gift: a bonsai tree kit. Notepad. Suddenly, I could picture Los Angeles in the 30's and film noir venetian blinds and Raymond Chandler descriptions of furniture...

Here's a bunch that I haven't looked at in a while. You probably know them all but....I have some others bookmarked at work. If I remember, I'll send them to you. I have one in particular at work that takes feeds from 20 or 30 other design sites (including kinky & k10k) and you can customize your page as to which sites you wanna receive. There are endless amounts of links. Most of the following links are probably not k10k like, but probably have cool things nonetheless. Have you seen the last link (demian5)? It's a really nice web-comic. Go through every chapter. You'll like. Also vector park is particularly lovely (things are hidden, so explore).

I have twenty minutes. Nothing happens slowly anymore. I pull on my crash helmet, tighten the straps on my knee pads and get into my brown car. They still don't have ignition buttons, so I use the key. I think I scraped the two-tone blue minivan as I squeezed onto the street. It's all downhill now, winding around the mountain to the bottom, ducking rotted...

I've started compiling a webpage of things I'm trying not to forget from painting at university for the past few years. It's important for me to write these things down because my mind is a grapefruit that is a little too sour and it rejects the sweet stuff (ie. forgets the best parts of my life) and it's a small world I live in. Why...

ah, so that is why you disappeared from my friends list? hope all is well... 'Loveless' and some headphones should fix any problem. i'm convinced. no, seriously!
