wishing everyone in sorabji land a very happy new year.
being the designated driver last night ended up being really cool. i especially enjoyed it during the drive home at 3:30 a.m. seeing not less than 4 cars pulled over by the cops, lights flashing, actually seeing the drivers attempting to perform various sobriety tests. it was a relief knowing i wasn't going to have to do that, or go to jail, or kill someone or get killed. i'm going to be the dd a lot from now on.
in 2006 i resolve to figure out how to post to the bbs again. i have some words that need to be added to the "words you don't want to hear in your eulogy" thread.
hey t-bone, can you send me andrea's email again? thanks.
btw, this spring will be my 10 year anniversary here. a decade of you in my life. i'm still here. love and peace to you all.

my mother's birthday was back in february. as a sort of joke, i got her a copy of william shatner's cd "has been" (the one with "common people" and the duet with henry rollins on it). it turns out that she loves the cd and has been playing it for all her 60+ year old friends. apparently, they're becoming shatner groupies.

- I also saw a show tonight.
Well it's Ninth and Hennepin
All the doughnuts have names that sound like prostitutes
And the moon's teeth marks are on the sky
Like a tarp thrown all over this
And the broken umbrellas like dead birds
And the steam comes out of the grill
Like the whole goddamn town's ready to blow...
And the bricks are all scarred with jailhouse tattoos
And everyone is behaving like dogs
And the horses are coming down Violin Road
And Dutch is dead on his feet
And all the rooms they smell like diesel
And you take on the dreams of the ones who have slept here
And I'm lost in the window, and I hide in the stairway
And I hang in the curtain, and I sleep in your hat...
And no one brings anything small into a bar around here
They all started out with bad directions
And the girl behind the counter has a tattooed tear
"One for every year he's away", she said
Such a crumbling beauty, ah
There's nothing wrong with her that a hundred dollars won't fix
She has that razor sadness that only gets worse
With the clang and the thunder of the Southern Pacific going by
And the clock ticks out like a dripping faucet
'til you're full of rag water and bitters and blue ruin
And you spill out over the side to anyone who will listen...
And I've seen it all, I've seen it all
Through the yellow windows of the evening train...
Couldn't get half these lyrics when he sang 'em, so I had to look them up.

- sad.....
got home last night from four days in the woods with no internet, no electricty, no flush toilets, no running water at all; dreaming of email, sorabji and boingboing.
lappy is plugged in but the power light ain't on. play with the power cord a bit, the light blinks a couple times and goes out. find a good cord position and tape it down. turn the l-tizzy on. log into email and it stops taking juice from the power cord. click on an email and it powers down from low battery.
this morning i rode crosstown to replace the power cord (i was convinced it was the power cord) and talk to cute nerdy computer repair salesboy. rode home. plugged in the laptop, hopeful, only to turn it on and see the battery light and watch the screen slowly die.
shit.
packed the computer away, rode crosstown again and talked to another nerdy (not quite so cute) repair salesboy. it's salvageable, but expensive. nearly $150 to repair a computer i've been thinking about replacing later this year.
so i had them transfer the brains to a little silver box and the first, cuter salesboy inspects the dead case with interest... a project. he gives me a card and i ride crosstown again to practice.
i miss you, my little laptop, goodbye.

- pondering the monkeycage.
haven't been by there since i was a kid. when i was 16, i had a key to a duplex in the complex that the university used as a ghetto for grad students. the key opened the door to a home nobody wanted--it was right next to the cage and the monkeys would scream and fight with each other all night long. back then we used to use it as a place to get drunk and laid. i didn't get laid much, but i spent a lot of time laying seeds that would grow into later life dysfunction.
i went to india in 1991 and made faces at the free monkeys by the river. they all united and threw rocks at us until we ran for shelter. i jumped in a rickshaw, bleeding and shocked by how organized those little motherfuckers were-- those monkeys WERE NOT HAVING IT.
i'd like to capture a free alpha monkey, throw him in with the caged monkeys, then see if he can unite them into an organized revolt.
i'm a cynic, so i don't have much hope for monkey insurgency. but god damn if everybody doesn't need a free monkey to come stir shit up once in a while.

margret is:
- Some days I feel like I don't exist in any real and tangible way. I am trying to quit smoking, but the cigarettes ease me out of the paralysis of the panic attacks enough to allow me to deal with the depression. I don't smoke as much as I used to; I can go days without smoking. But something triggers a panic attack and I think "Oh, god, the only thing real about my life is that I'm going to die and between now and then I can't stand to feel like this." And then I run to the nearest convenience store and purchase some ritualistic soothing.
I came back here because it's like family; it's comfortable, and familiar, and the comfort itself reenforces my continuinity through space and time, makes me feel anchored, like I'm not floating away.
I am sad Droopy's taking a pass right now, but I haven't been posting because I don't know what to say. I am making all of these big changes in my life and they're NECESSARY because I felt like I was in a waking dream - the one where I'm asking for help but the phone doesn't work or I can't speak - but GOD do they scare the living shit out of me, make me doubt myself in fundamental ways, make me second guess every process I have which passes for judgment.
The single thing these boards have done to help is let me know other people are having life level shit go down and they're having to work through it daily without having answers. Patrick's custody battle is sickening, but elevating because he's dealing with it even though it must suck at a profound level I can't even imagine. Nate's biochemistry is sabotaging him and he's negotiating how he wants to go through his life with options I can't conceive having to select from.
For the record, I didn't ever have the merest jot or tittle of desire for Cyst. In fact, I had the opposite of that.

margret is:
- Drinking a diet coke and packing. I just did 2 of the small uhaul boxes worth of cds, then I remembered I don't have a stereo. The temptation to take all of my stuff - like ALL of my stuff - to used record and book and clothing stores and see if I can get cash for my memories and sentiment is almost overwhelming. I donated all of my academic books except for the ones I've actually cracked since I dropped out of grad. school to the library. I thought I was a pretentious fuck for dragging them around from pillar to post, then I remembered that I've always just been to lazy and bibliophilic to want to give up books. The romance novels fell by the wayside this winter, when I realized I'd finally lost the taste for them. Library. The academic books are of more recent standing than the romance novels, so they got to stay until winnowing time. Side chaff - a double nickels reference. I am keeping the fucking cds. I am ditching the shoes I don't wear. Yes, they're pretty. Yes, I bought them because they were pretty. I don't want to drown in things I don't need, and I fear that I've accumulated so many of them. I am going to smoke a cigarette, and then I am going to recommit once again to not buying another pack and hope it takes and hope that the part of me that wants to quit is up to doing battle with the part of me that just wants to wring any pleasure I can out of any moment I can as a respite and a surcease from feeling so fucking out of my mind. I tried posting a new thread a couple of days ago, and the boards told me to enter my uid and pwd which of course I ain't be havin'. I know I will get through this - this feeling is actually familiar because it's exactly what happened when I went to grad. school and in about 6 months I was over the worst of it. I call it a feeling, but it's a pack of feelings which hunt my well-being like raptors - the one trilling over there to the left is NOT the one that's going to hamstring me in the second. It just wants my attention and it means me no good at all. I like coming here and spying on everyone else. I will take part in the discussion, too: Karla called it like she sees it. dave expressed how I feel about it pretty succinctly. But I have logorrhea so I'll put it into my own words: don't delude yourselves that there's no fucking groupthink going on here. There was groupthink going on here when I was active in the late 90s. It's not a fucking search for the fundamental truths which power the universe, though, it's part cocktail party and part potluck. I am guilty of both flaming n00bs viciously and pulling a 180 and saying why can't we all just get along, why can't we all just be nice. These contradictory impulses manifest themselves in my lived existence (as opposed to the one expressed in text) as well. I'll talk to anyone who sticks around and says something I want to respond to. Have a thick skin or get out of my fucking face - this is the internet, not your goddamned mommy. I'm up here baring my own soul to shreds and if one of these people mocks me about it I might go cry in the bathroom or call one of my friends and talk it through - but I damned well wouldn't cry on the boards. Of course, I wouldn't have to. Someone would jump that person's shit for daring to fuck with poor, fragile, recently returned Margret. I'd feel the warmth of affirmation suffuse me at the same time I thought about what a fucking tool I am, what a desperate screaming chimp. Stick around and they'll bathe you in the warmth of affirmation, too - it doesn't make the howling simian go away but it calms that simian down enough to turn the light of reason on her problems - just like this fucking cigarette.

By third period, we were able to watch it in the Coach's office, and I got to see the visual of it falling. After that, I went home and listened to the radio about the people who survived, and watched the news.
