happy now. I was having a real hard time surviving thru a morning with no coffee. It was an ill omen and a terrible way to start off a weekend. So I went out and bought myself a brand new Smith & Wesson. Whee! What a great way to start off a weekend!!

Re. cunt vs. twat: I really don't see what's the big deal over the "C" word, after all it's only a word. I save it for special occasions only because I know it makes 90% of half the population absolutely livid when used, and I like to be able to wield that kind of power every so often.

Twat, on the other hand, is such a silly word, I rank it right up there with doodoohead and buttface. It immediately saps its speaker of any remaining trace of credibility.

H: congrats on the new job. I'm surprised to see you back so soon after pissing in the pancakes just this morning and telling us all to fuck ourselves. But anyway, I hope the job is one you deserve.

I don't eat pancakes anyway, I'm an eggs-over-easy kinda guy.

theirren told us all to fuck ourselves, not H. as for the c word, i will have to pull a defense that i don't like to use very much: you don't mind the word cunt, simon, because you are a man. there is truly no word that is as insulting to a man as the word cunt is to a woman. it is as degrading as the n word in reference to african americans, in my personal opinion. i am speaking for myself, but i know a lot of women that agree with me.

I find I only use 'cunt' to insult males....and even then only if I'm very very very VERY upset with them. Much more insulting to guys, I find. Other than that I don't use it, but I also don't care. Such a harsh word.....useless.
I use 'twat' quite often though, on an almost daily basis, it being the nickname of a dear friend. Everyone calls him Twat, and it's especially fun to reffer to him like that in a crowded area, imagine someone yelling "HEY!!! TWAT!!!" and then a guy turning around and responding indifferently. I love that guy.
How he got that nick, however, is infinetly less entertaining than you're imagining.

simon is:
sorry if he offended agatha. My point is, the word only has the power to degrade you if you grant it that power. If a person chooses to speak that way to you, that person is really revealing nothing about your character and volumes about his.

H and Therrien and James B and HazznFlazzn appear to be one and the same. Or it's a HUGE coincidence.

I tend not to believe in coincidences.

sarah is:

the word cunt has no affect on me at all. well, sometimes it makes me giggle. like when my old roomate would say he liked a "big wet sloppy cunt" (sorry aggie).

the only thing that bugs me is that there is not an equally derogatory word for penis.

cock?

dick?

dong?

pecker?


they're all so tame. none of those ring with the implied nastiness that cunt does. can't think of any that do. it's not fair.



6/5/99, 6:45 AM
H is:
I see Simon finally got some coffee.

I am H, H is the real me.

James B. is James B. I just type for him.

HazznFlazzn is the result of leaving my computer on Sorabji while I am in another part of the building.

Therrien was an evil twin with an interesting name that I had to kill off for being such an asshole.

But I suppose I am one too, after all.

So now that I have exhausted all credibility, I say farewell. This is a really interesting place and you all appear to be eminently interesting people. Some of you were extremely nice to a stranger.

I won't waste any more of your time and if anyone is truly offended, violated or unamused, I am very, very sorry. Please accept my warmest wishes and deepest regrets.

Dear Clifton,

Well you think you can fool me but you can't. I am wise. I just told Emabel I hoped I would get a heart shape box of candy for valentine. For one time my wish came true.

I have had lots of fun here lately. I am going to Jr. High School now. I have fun but all I do is run up and down so many stairs. We have just got through with our 3 weeks tests. I think I did good on all of them.

I sure will be glad when summer comes. Mert and I say that we are going to live in the water. I just can't wait.

I sure hope you can come this summer I do. We can have a good time together.

Burleson and Wilson have turned to little boys again. They play marbles all day long.

Write me soon as I have to close.

Lovingly,
Mary Lynn.

simon is a smart, smart man. i myself don't mind if someone poses as multiple personalities, it keeps things interesting. didn't mean to snap earlier, it's just one of those words i can't stand. then again, i don't like the word "slacks" either, and i especially hate it when newspapers use the term "impacted upon." i guess i base too much on the power of words. i have also been fussy lately because i am graduating in six days and i am about to FLIP the fuck OUT. thank heavens you are all here to listen to me spew.

Lois The Good, The Bad Lois, that weenie UPS guy who won't come up here because someone shot at him years ago so i have to trek down to the village to get my stuff, they should all grow up and get on with their lives and let me do too. and Swine, don't even start.

SARAH! You really threw here out for having great sex & making too much noise?

Shame, shame!

You cd've just as easily fucked her man yrself (to see what all the fuss was abt)/let her catch you at it /& made her move out in a fit of rage & humiliation.

In which case/you cd've kept her security deposit.

If you can swing the rent solo/it might be nice to have all that space to yrself for a while. You can never have too much space.

Or you get get a really big dog now that she's gone.

actually cooking dinner instead of eating out or ordering in.
used to cook all the time in seattle, but haven't bothered at all since i moved back east.
so now i'm trying to whip together some butter garlic noodles with blackened cajun chicken.

when i was in the supermarket earlier today, this strange lump of a woman kept following me through the aisles.
i go to the poultry section, and there she is.
head over to get some mott's cranberry apple sauce... and there she is again.
i'm picking up seasonings for the marinade... and there she is, standing next to me, pretending to read the label on the back of a bottle of bay leaves.

like you need to read the ingredients on the back of a bottle of bay leaves.

we make eye contact, she smiles and lifts a brow, and i decide it's check-out time.

i'm paying for my purchases and dismissing the weirdness as mere coincidence when the strange, smiling lump of a woman shows up in the check-out section and asks me if "everything's alright".

"yeah. thanks."

"just checking." [smile]

this woman is a bunny boiler.
without question.
i've got enough problems without having to deal with that bizarre shit.
like trying to cook this meal without infecting myself with seminella poisoning or something even more drastic.

it's getting too hot in the city.

Went on an incredible binge in Park City. After the bar closed. Shilo, Brian, Mark, Shawn and I all went back to the rented condo. Mark passed out on the couch after spilling his bag of chips all over hell. Brian and Shilo retired to their bed. Shawn and I still had a major amount of steam to blow off so we thought we should make to call every infomercial and order ungodly amounts of shit with fake names and made up card #'s but couldnt find the phone. We were board out of our brains at like 3am with nothing to do but bitch about the locking device on the Atari. (fuckers)Then we found the camera. Shilo's camera. The first photo was of Shawn holding a Bud bottle like it was poking him in the ass.(pants on)The second was of that same bottle in the same position on my ass. The third was of a passed out Mark with said bottle up to his lips. From there it got totally out of hand. I took pictures of Shawn doing everything from sweeping up Marks spill chips with his pants down to me giving the illusion of pissing in a pitcher and then pouring it into a glass to Shawn with the doing the same illusion with just about everything: coffe maker, ice cube trays you name it. Anything that, when the pictures were developed, would probably flip Shilo out. We though about a toothbrush thing as a piece de la resistace but backed down and settled for a pants down picture of Shawn with his ass sticking into the refrigerator while holding a box of Arm and Hammer underneath it. None of the pictures showed our faces and Shilo has no idea why we were up all night laughing like hyenas. I hope she goes to the 1 hr photo.

just noticed that Krusty is basically just Homer drawn like a clown. been watching that show for about ten seasons now. so much for my powers of observation.

at 6:00PM it was 71 degrees. by 11:00PM it was 75. now it's probably about 80. heatwave is coming through (HEATWAVE!) great song.
the noontime temperature is going to be unbearable. something like 95 to 100 with high humidity and low pressure. won't get below 80 until wednesday.

i've always avoided buying an air conditioner because of the toll they take on the environment. but fuck it. i can't live like this. and all my gear can't live like this, either. the air conditioner goes in ASAP.

maybe then i'll be able to get some $&#&$*# sleep.

god dammit.

sarah is:

what if your roommate stood outside your window and banged some giant cymbals every night at intermittent times between 1-5 a.m., waking you out of deep sleep?

you might throw that roommate out after a while, no?

it's not about noisy sex, it's about noise. i don't mind having fun and making noise when you're gettin it on. i'm all for it. but don't fuckin' wake me up in the middle of the night every night with your squealing. and not just squealing, people, i'm talking When Harry Met Sally x100. completely unrealistic, completely for show.

besides, there are only two rules in this house. always has been, always will be.

1. do not wake me up under any circumstances. if the house is on fire, let me suffocate or burn to death.

2. do not create drama or throw temper tantrums. just say what's on your mind.


real simple.


i asked her nicely on several occassions to be more courteous but to no avail. i tried being reasonable, but reasonable didn't work with her. so after The Clash, i moved on to really annoying country tunes by Travis Tritt.

and furthermore, i wouldn't fuck her boyfriend if he had a 12 inch cock and i was a bitch in heat. he's about as clever as soap on a rope and about as sexy as Newt Gingrich. no thanks. i like milk just fine these days.

At this point I am requesting permission from Nate and Mark to post the butch jobs I have done on their beautiful countenances. Please e-mail me. And send good vibes at the bad ovary.

But warning him that the 1st post-a.c. installtion 'lectric bill will give him a coronary. Then again/it'll probably be less than his monthly microbrew expenditures.

NYC sucks when it's hot & humid. My last summer there/I lived in a studio in Jamaica w/no a.c. & it was 95 degrees every fucking day. It's nearly always hot & humid here in FL/but at least damn near everything's air- -conditioned. And the beaches are close & free.

thinking that a derogatory word for the penis (I know, I'm slow, but I've been out of town) would be, quite simply, "small."

Yes/No?

Swine, if you have no A.C., I sympathise with you man! We don't have it either. Damn thing is busted. Gas man is supposed to come out tomorrow and determine:

1. Can it be fixed?
2. Should it be fixed?
3. Should it be replaced?

Right now, I don't know whether to pray for #1 or #3. As much as I want polar temperatures, having a new unit with less chance for breaking down, I gotta hope for that too.

Sarah-- When Harry Met Sally X100 huh? Sounds like my last date. Totally fake, and not the slightest turn on to me. For me, the almost breathless "oh my god," is enough to send me over the top.

Scott-- Happy almost birthday. A cat huh? I have one. Love her dearly. Wish I could train her to poopoo and peepee in the toilet. I'm getting sick of the litter smell. Thinking of getting that new flushable litter.

There's WAY more to comment on, but I won't.

For now, anyway.

yeah.
