[ music | Vehemence - I Take Your Life ]

It turns out that writing a 10-page research paper about death metal is hard. Then again, I get to justify slacking off and listening to music all day by calling it "focused research." And I've found some really good bands along the way.

Maybe I'll just write "SPAZMOSITY ROCKS!" 1,000 times.

Robert is giving me his car, because he is awesome. It's parked outside; we just need to switch the insurance and... go to Cave Junction in the next few weeks to finally get my license. It's a little gold Toyota 4WD. It's kind of old, but it's reliable. It does have a substantial list of unusual "features," which Rob presented in a handwritten, bulleted list. I have transcribed it exactly as written:

- only highbeams work, no lowbeams
- alignment isn't great, but not terrible.
- Slow as molasses, especially up long hills, 35 mph max up to Siskiyou Pass
- gas gauge tells lies, always lower than reality.
- cruise control doesn't work
- Radiator has oil in it
- driver's side window hard to roll down, especially when cold
- burns a little oil, but not much. 1 quart every 2 months? check it often.
- only engage 4-wheel drive on slippery roads, gravel, sand
NEVER on dry pavement
- all stuff in trunk comes w/ car

When they see my bitchin' ride, all the ladies will come a-runnin'... at least the ones who work for the Fire Department.

Happy Dokken Day! [27 Jan 2004|08:31pm]
[ music | Dokken - Day After Day ]

Yes, it's that time of year again! In 1988, Los Angeles mayor Tom Bradley gave the band a key to the city, and declared January 27 to be Dokken Day.

So, in the spririt of the season, let's all get "too high to fly!"

Snowboarding update. [21 Jan 2004|04:19pm]

[ music | Kidney Thieves - Before I'm Dead ]

I had my second class today. I was the only one there, so it was basically a private lesson. My instructor's name was Matt, and he was really helpful; I can actually steer now! Sort of! I'm like the Buster Keaton of Mt. Ashland. Today alone, I jarred my neck, twisted my ankle, inadvertantly somersaulted twice (nonconsecutively), and hit the ground so hard I knocked my own beanie off. TOTALLY EXTREEEEEEEEEEME!!!

Time [20 Jan 2004|07:58pm]
[ mood | cold ]
[ music | Pink Floyd, obviously ]

Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
You fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way.
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way.

Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain.
You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today.
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you.
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun.

So you run and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking
Racing around to come up behind you again.
The sun is the same in a relative way but you're older,
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death.

Every year is getting shorter never seem to find the time.
Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines
Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way
The time is gone, the song is over,
Thought I'd something more to say.


**EDITIZED!** That's right; I deleted my comments here. The reason? I need to shut up.

I went snowboarding for the first time yesterday. I took a class, and the instructor (who looked like Tigger) went over two ways of turning, how to use the lift, how to descend a slope without dying, etc. I spent more time on my ass than I did actually snowboarding, but I'm going to keep at it. Not for a couple of days, though; my chest hurts from where it slammed into the ground.

Right now, I'm going to eat something.

I have no intention of staying in Ashland or at SOU beyond my sophomore year. I may move to Eugene or Portland or even Seattle. This place is slowly draining my will to live.

Happy New Year from the land of gourmet coffee, Sasquatch, giant octopuses, hippies, Subaru Outbacks, and The Goonies!

There's a blizzard warning for most of Oregon right now. It's snowing really heavily outside.

Oh, and by the way; BIG HUGE SNAKE!

Wow. Long entry. Good job, me. [15 Dec 2003|11:01pm]
[ mood | artistic ]
[ music | VH1 Classic is on in the living room. ]

Well, I was stressed out today. Nothing big; just my usual phobic nonsense. It's all sorted out, and I'm okay.
We watched Finding Nemo tonight. I didn't think it was as great as it was hyped up to be, but it was good. Rob and I also watched Spider this afternoon, which is a David Cronenberg movie about Ralph Fiennes mumbling and doing crazy things.

So now I'm doing what most people my age do at 11:00 at night when they've got three weeks off from school: I'm drinking alone in the laundry room and wondering who I like in the primaries.

Carol Moseley Braun: I like her! She says what she wants, and she means what she says. The only thing that's irritating about her is that she's always pointing out the fact that she is a woman! And she is also black! And she is running for president! Wow! I understand that she's trying to say that her race and gender don't matter, but she makes them matter by talking about them all the time. It takes the emphasis away from her actual qualifications, which are damn impressive. Go Carol!
Bottom line: If she's still in there when the vote comes to Oregon, I'll probably vote for her.

Gen. Wesley Clark: Hoorah! Michael Moore likes him, and he's a general who's opposed to the war! Clinton likes him too! He seems pretty cool, but he also looks like some sort of fish man who hides his gills under his collar and will summon Dagon from the sea to destroy the human race. Just sayin', is all...
Bottom line: If none of the cooler candidates make it, I'm voting for Clarky Clark.

Howard Dean: Howard Dean is The Man, and I don't mean that in the positive sense. He's just... such a white man with white hair and white teeth. It's like someone poured a bunch of white man into a white man mold and made the whitest white man in the world. He tends to talk in campaign slogans. Al Gore likes him, but I still don't. He's just too much of a politician.
Bottom line: He'll probably win in the primaries, and if so I'll obviously vote for him, but he's not the best.

John Edwards: Uh... I don't know much about him except that he's really abrasive during debates. And he looks like a chipmunk.
Bottom line: I am not a fan of John Edwards.

Dick Gephardt: Ahhhh, good ol' Dick. Dick Gephardt... big Dicky... Mr. G... Geppy Gep Gephardt... The Dickster...
Bottom line: DickGephardt!

John Kerry: Kerry is alright, I guess. He both fought in and spoke out against Vietnam, and he seems like a pretty nice guy. His proposed drug policy, however, is fucking retarded. He wants to keep fighting the "War on Drugs." See, if you ruin people's lives by sending them to prison, then they won't ruin their own lives with drugs! It makes perfect sense... in John Kerry-Land, where unicorns dance in Marshmallow Valley and eat from the Magical Candy Tree.
Bottom line: meh. He doesn't have a chance anyway.

Dennis Kucinich: I have a Dennis Kucinich T-shirt. It would be absolutely great if he were president, but it's probably not gonna happen. He'd be a great leader, but I don't think people see him as a leader. They see him as a Keebler cookie elf.
Bottom line: He's tied with Braun for my vote, but I don't think he'll make it.

Joe Lieberman: AAAAAAA!!! I hate Joe Lieberman! I hate him so much! GGRRAAAARRR!!! He's like a Jewish Nazi; how the fuck does that even happen? He supports the "War on Terror," he pissed off Al Gore, and he's pro-censorship. And he talks like Dr. Zoidberg from Futurama. He's a big jerkface and he smells like poopies!
Bottom line: HAAAATE LLLIIIIEEEBEERRMMMAAAANNNNN!!!!

Rev. Al Sharpton: He's the coolest. That's all there is to it. Reverend Al. Gonna save America. Gonna do it with style. Preach it, brother!
Bottom line: He's up there at the top, with Kucinich and Braun.

That took forever. Congratulations to anyone who's still reading this. You can stop now.

You should all come visit me and go sledding, because sledding is fun.

Where is everybody, anyway? I haven't talked to anyone back East in... a long time. I hope there wasn't a nuclear war or something. I'll have to start using that newfangled "telephone" machine again.

[ music | The Not Reals - We're So Indie We Don't Even Exist ]

AAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's Christmas break, and I have nobody to hang out with. I thought I might call Hameet, but the last thing she said to me after final exams was this: "See you next quarter!" Damn it. Do I even exist to other people in this town?!

If only I had one person here to talk to, things would be great. All the other students live in the dorms and get Insta-Friends by default. The whole damn school revolves around the dorms. Oh well; all the dorm students are little fucking WASPs anyway. They're always either hungover or talking to me about their personal relationships with Jesus Christ. FuckfuckFUCK!

I thought college would be a place where I could meet people like me. Remember the gazebo at SAIL two years ago? I thought there would be some place like that on campus. Oops! It turns out that college is all about drinking, driving drunk, and bragging about driving drunk! Stupid me!

Sometimes I feel like there's something that I just don't get. The world seems like a big party that I'm not invited to. I used to have something to live for; or rather, someone. We all know where that went. My soul is still in the burn unit, and it might be permanently disfigured.

If things don't pick up in a year or so, I might come back to Tallahassee.
