In other news, I've been subpeonaed as a witness for the prosecution in a domestic abuse case against a guy who lives at the end of my hallway (or did).

My roommate Kenny and I were going to bed real late one night in January, and heard a hysterical girl screaming and moaning in pain outside...so we went out to check it out. It's like...

What's even worse than the actual abuse itself is the mentality of the victim in this case. At the risk of sounding like I'm condoning this sort of thing (which I'm NOT), in some cases, certain people need this kind of treatment to feel fulfilled, wanted. They obviously need therapy as badly as the abuser. That being said, I hope he gets punished to the fullest extent of the law, and I hope she gets help.

ahh, human drama. skull

Yeah I agree with you pretty much. I'm not sure that they need it to feel fulfilled but over time the abused manage to convince themselves that the goods in the relationship outweigh the bads, and that even if they did leave they wouldn't be able to do any better. I think it's partially a self esteem issue. Also sometimes they try to rationalize it and convince themselves it was their fault, or that they deserved it, and so the abuser "really isn't such a bad guy, he just did it because he loves me."

It just makes me oppressively sad to know that there are still people going through this every day and telling themselves why it isn't so bad.

After we knew this guy had passed out, kenny and I were very close to going into his room and beating the fuck out of him. He hadn't locked his door...it was so tempting...to give him a taste of his own medicine. It almost would have been worth it, even if it does sort of sink us to his level. I'm a pretty nonviolent guy......but assholes like that just deserve pain.

So...

Allen Planz never made it. Fuckin' rain. Apparently he got to northern Jersey and the car in front of him hydroplaned and spun, meanwhile the radio is screaming that NJ is under a flood watch or warning or something unpleasant of that nature. So he turned around and went home.

He sent Rich, the host of the poetry reading, an email but Rich didn't...

My favorite poet is the world (Alan Planz, the little known surrealist/beat poet from NYC, contemporary of keruac, etc) is coming to our local reading tonight to feature because I invited him. I'm so excited to meet this guy! I stumbled onto one of his books last summer and since then I've become a HUGE fan of his poetry...and now I get to meet him!...

congrats! John Sinclair just came around here last autumn, too, and it was absolutely awesome. Those old cats are just really together. I wish we had outspoken, talented members of our generation.

btw, i LOVED Shroedinger's Kittens (a nod to both quantum theory and one of my favorite authors), but alas, the rest of the band didn't like it.

Well, I get an Easter break. Matt gets...to come home for the weekend. But I think it's a break, because we get to see each other. Then I get to spend the night in Delaware with him on Sunday. Good stuff.

I'm a nerd...I love that boy so much. kisslove

HAPPY EASTER/PASSOVER/WHATEVER!

Number one, refer to yesterday's journal entry and download Mattie's song. I think they could be onto something.

Number two, I had a crazy night, unintentionally deemed Festivus Friday...there was a major airing of grievances. However, my own personal grievances are really only the following:

My best friend Ryan needs to not go home to work on weekends...he's so cute and I miss him so...

You all need to download this SONG!

It's my band Slaves to the Image. Our first recording. It's 7 minutes long, so be patient, but my server should be pretty fast.

People tell us we sound a bit like Rollins Band, but there's a lot of other crazy influences in there...we all kinda pull the music in REALLY different directions so we never know what's...

Got over my nerves and posted some of pics in the PSW community. Hahaha, never ever tell my mom. blush

Love me...I'm pretty damn loveable. Also, thanks to Mattie-boy for taking the pics for me back...whenever that was. I think it was a snow day, that big ol' blizzard when I got stuck in DE. It was a good way to spend the time.

Sexy.

love,...

And hey, back to the fucking grindstone. I have a giant test tomorrow (tuesday) in fluid mechanics. There's so much crap we need to know for it...and my brain is just about to shut off. Not only that, but i'm in the middle of the usual Hannah withdrawal from the last couple days of seeing her. frown

Long distance relationships never get easier with time. I...
