she says she sees things, things that I wasn't aware were perceptible, and I find myself buying into the myth that there are people who, whether you like it or not or whather you want it or not, know you better than you'd prefer, maybe even better than you know yourself.

and you find yourself acquiescing for now, willing to play along for the time being, in hopes of learning new information that will cause you to doubt the original analysis, something to cling onto so you can maintain the facade of control.

and this happens repeatedly, and you are what you repeatedly do, and perception is reality, and while reality screams out the impossible, it happens anyway, until you become a parody of a game where the outcome is already determined, and the only matter to be resolved is how to get there.

2:03 am - so last night...
I got fairly drunXXored and on my other journal said something nice about all the people I list as friends.

now keep in mind, most of them I have known for 5+ years, but SOME PEOPLE (er, person) got a bit miffed (or faked being miffed) that I didn't include them.

so, um, I'll try to do the same now, on this one.

but, recognize, though, that it will be forced, as I do things on whims, and most of my enjoyment of life comes from the moment, and I believe moments cannot be re-lived, and the best you can hope is to create new moments.

and then again, there aren't many people listed as friends on here as I have on the other one.

so, here's a crack at it.

chantellecam: every now and then, I remember I had MEAT delivered to your house. that fact gives me great amusement. you are a dear friend, and you have said some incredibly nice and sweet and supportive things in the past that I still think about and it helps me, even though it ruins your bad-ass image if I out you as a nice, caring person. suck it up :D

daedrius: um, you're a friend of chantelle's and you are pretty funny. Angel of Ina cracks me up. I dunno you that well tho.

easterkat: If there exists a female version of me, you'd be it, and the more I come to love myself, the more I care about you. my friendship with you is indeed priceless.

kingnick: You're a good one, although a bit misguided sometimes :D (freak. fox news rots your brain) Sometimes I think I should provide you guidance, but in the end, it'll be best for you to slug your way through life and figure it out on your own. You're too damned smart for your own good, but again, that will make things easier in the long run.

lu_cashmere: I think you dropped off the face of the earth. So, moving on..

oliveoyl: you are incredibly wise, funny, and caring. I wish more people were like you, but then again, if they were, you would not be nearly as special as you are. and I don't mean special in the "lick the windshield of the short bus" special.

robnoxious: you funny, funny, bastard. Franken-Jamie still cracks me up to this day, and if I had half of your wit, I just might make something of a radio career.

yancey22: Who else could I profess my man-crush on Tubby Smith to? You're always supportive, and you care too much sometimes. It's not bad, but sometimes I wonder how someone can be so damn nice all the time. I do appreciate you more than I let on. Wisdom is always welcome.

zlot: liek, u r SO rad!

ok, happy now?

current mood: awake
current music: Blink 182 - Man Overboard

4:00 pm - :o
I got a haircut today. I'm pretty happy about that.

and that astrology thing that Jen posted..


Brian is an unsung hero, an undiscovered genius...and an unknown quantity. It is because Brian is such an unknown quantity that his heroism goes unsung and his genius undiscovered. Some people will blow their own trumpets from the highest hill even when those trumpets are battered and badly out of tune. Brian is rather the opposite. No matter how bright the light inside him shines, he will always find a bushel big enough to hide it under. Brian wants to be thought of as stable, steady and solid. He tries his best to do what the world expects of him, he wants to be a trooper - a loyal, reliable, down-to-earth kind of character. In the attempt to give this impression Brian strives to be modest, restrained and realistic. He almost succeeds. Through diligent effort Brian manages to persuade himself and the rest of the watching world that he is a known quantity. At best he will allow himself to be known for his talent in one particular area or for his courage with regard to one particular topic. The trouble is Brian is a Capricorn and Capricorns, despite all that some astrologers say, are always unknown quantities.
Deep down inside Brian yearns to be wild and crazy, footloose and fancy-free. He wants to break the rules, question convention and court controversy. Only one thing stops him - a little voice in the back of his head that says "Excuse me, who do you think you are? That's not the kind of activity that Brian can get away with." If you want to be a true friend to Brian, you must encourage him to ignore that voice. He will love you for it and he won't need much encouraging. Brian was born to be brilliant. He was destined to be daring. One
day he will realise this and then...the world had better look out.



I'm not sure how well that fits me. I cannot decide if I like this, or if I am bothered that "the world had better look out" for 1 out of 12 people.

In other news, I neglected to mention that I officially changed majors this week. That made me feel good.

Other feelings/thoughts continue. No change, unfortunately. and I am quite enamored with the Johnny Cash icon, even though it is a bit small.

perhaps you should squint.

Last night, a friend of mine was stopped by the police, charged with a DWI and then resisting arrest. He tore up his cell, his clothes, himself, looking for some way to make a rope or something, and they took his clothes and everything away, leaving him with flip-flops and sandals. He is covered in bruises he gave himself.

I don't know how to help him.

current mood: numb

So, as usual I don't have anything to say.

I did watch "High Fidelity" again tonight.

I might just let this journal wither and die, that is, if it was really alive. I should use it for more than just relaying what song I happened to be listening to at this moment.

Maybe there's just too much on my mind to filter anything out. I've tended to be pretty much an "all or nothing" sort of person anyway.

So, in this case, you get nothing.

I think the euphoria from my promotion is already gone. Funny thing, euphoria...once it's gone you feel lower than you were...I'm feeling a lot of things right now, none of them good.

current mood: depressed

12:31 pm - dreams
So, last night, my buddy Duane told me "I had a dream about you...you were president of the United States."

oh really?

"and I took a bullet for you."

care to explain?

"you were president, and I was in the secret service, and you were about to give some major press conference...and I had the suit, glasses, earpiece, all that secret service stuff, and I was to the right of you and the podium..I hear something in my earpiece and I looked to the left and somebody had just pulled a gun, and I jumped in front of you and BAM! took one right in the chest...I thought 'yeah, I did my job' .. and that's when I woke up"

heh. that's pretty neat.

current mood: amused
current music: Deftones - Change
