Clubhouse and randomness 0

Hung out in the clubhouse for a while–Joe is really rambunctious. Tawna and I played chess for a while–we both were so inept at it that it ended up a draw. I had two queens and couldn’t kill her! I suck so bad. OMG, ATHF (Aqua Teen Hungerforce) is in two minutes! Well, talked to my mom for a bit. She doesn’t know what to do about this Jerry Castaldo guy. I told her to meet him for coffee, but she’s slavishly stuck to these 40s gender roles that she can’t make the first move. How lame. OMG, today I found out that the mPGA motherboard connector can take P4s up to 3.6GHz! I feel like spending that entire check on a processor. Omg, ATHF is on! back in 30!

The Drift, refund checks, Amanda, and cookies! 0

Placebo – Bionic

Molly and I just went through each page and decided what stays, what goes, what needs to be revamped, etc. It’s a lot of work, and we can’t do it all. We need to recruit people to write stories and do sundry other things. Me and Amanda had the beginnings of the great conversation I know we’ll eventually have, but her stepdad arrived to pick her up, cutting it off. Sucks. I keep forgetting to ask her about the editing her book chapters thing. Oh well. OMG OMG OMG…remember that $400 financial aid check that I got but lost during the summer? I’m getting it again! They’re re-issuing it! I’m going to get my computer after all! Yay! Oh, for Amanda’s edification, this is a really interesting site. Don’t let your parents goad you into ignorance. There’s a whole world out there. If contact with the real world is enough to destroy your religious beliefs, that’s pretty sad..about your religion, not about you. Anyway, I’ll get off my soap box.

Check out the theory and practice section…it’s really interesting. Very Ayn Rand. The point of Satanism is not in “worshipping Satan,” it is in not mindlessly worshipping a god.

Well, I must get to work on the issue. Blog more later. Yay! Tawna brought me cookies!

Marilyn Manson – In the Shadow of the Valley of Death 0

We have no future
heaven wasn’t made for me
we burn ourselves to hell
as fast as it can be
and I wish that I could be a king
then I’d know that I am not alone

Maggots put on shirts
Sell each other shit
sometimes I feel so worthless
sometimes I feel discarded
I wish that I was good enough
then I’d know that I am not alone

Death is policeman
Death is the priest
Death is the stereo
Death is a TV
Death is the Tarot
Death is an angel and
Death is our God
killing us all

she puts the seeds in me
plant this dying tree
she’s a burning string
and I’m just the ashes

she put the seeds in me
plant this dying tree
she’s a burning string
and I’m just the ashes

creepy. 0

I found this in the CR parking lot a few days ago. It really creeped me out.

I also want to say that I have that creepy silent film porn thing The Kiss (Lethargy Club members know what this is) archived on my site as well. It’s 6MB.

one-year anniversary 0

I just wanted to say that June 2nd was the one-year anniversary of my blog. I’m approaching 800 total posts, and around 250,000 words. I wonder what they all mean. Maybe I should start reading it from the beginning and to through the entire year, to see what happened over the course of the year that I didn’t remember. After all, the purpose of this blog is to help me remember what happens in my life. Maybe I’ll do that this weekend, but I doubt it. That would definitely be a time for sober contemplation. Well, it will be the Fourth of July. I’m not into festivities. Maybe I’ll make it into a solemn occasion. Hmm. Maybe I’ll actually learn something. This is the longest I’ve ever kept a journal for. Hmm.

> Just watched Pulp Fiction for the first time.

OMG, it was glorious. Glorious. Glorious. “Zed’s dead baby, Zed’s dead.” God, I didn’t mean to stay up to watch all of it, but it was something cosmic, I’d finally caught it on IFC at the beginning, and I just couldn’t take my eyes off the screen. Masterful. I…am in love. That doesn’t even begin to describe it. So many movies have been ripped of of it. I’m talking to LexusJedi about how the movie is god. He loves it.

leXus J e d i: OMG isnt it great
dariusofthedark: it was the greatest thing ever!!!!!!
leXus J e d i: lol
leXus J e d i: does marcellis wallice look like a bitch !
dariusofthedark: Zed’s dead baby, Zed’s dead
leXus J e d i: lol

Lexus is the graviest person ever. OMG, I don’t know if I blogged about this, but I finally talked to Daniela over the net. She is quitting Boy Scout camp in Florida (like we didn’t see this coming) because of problems with her boss. And she got infected by these bug things. Weird. I just made a joke about an old movie–Lexus got it! He is officially the coolest person ever. He’s sending me a cool song. Let’s see…oh yeah, Daniela will be back I guess within the month. I mean July…I’m living in the future (mostly because this is the week I get paid). I’ve decided to use all the money I can to get my computer case and the router to set up my home network. I’m going to leave thirty dollars in the account as a buffer permanently and save fifty for gas. I really hope I get paid a bunch, because I have to pay the $-80 balance in my account. Twenty of that is what I owe, sixty of that is fees. I’m very angry, but paying it will be punishment for my stupidity. I am SO not believing my online banking statement any more. They never tell you that it isn’t your current balance, the fuckheads. Before I bought anything, I checked my online banking and it said I had fifty in there. Fifty. That pisses me off, but I deserve it for thinking that the bank’s information was accurate. I’m going to have to keep a running tally of my balance from now on.

dariusofthedark: oh, I’m getting a 160GB drive–it will entertain me so much
dariusofthedark: I mean, getting a drive that big is kind of like a challenge–what can you fill me with?
dariusofthedark: the drive says to me
dariusofthedark: and I answer, pornography
leXus J e d i: lol
leXus J e d i: OF COURSE !
dariusofthedark: inordinate amounts of pornography

Molly and I are supposed to work on the issue tomorrow, I can’t wait. I hate sitting by the sidelines at the Triplicate doing the little tedious things. It’s only in the Drift that I get to step into the driver’s seat. And that’s refreshing. My hair is kind of bothering me…the roots are growing out and I can’t decide whether I should do them this week or next week. They are kind of long…hmm. I hope I get paid a lot, because with the financial drain of those fees, I probably won’t have much money to go around, and I want that case. I need to get my oil changed in my car, and a few other sundry things. Oh well, I guess I shouldn’t speculate. I should just wait for Wednesday.

I’m all sweaty in my one comforter. Usually I use two or three, but it’s abnormally warm tonight. At least in my room. Okay, I’m taking it off. Now my feet look all naked. I have Hobbit feet, I need to shave them. And my legs. I need to buy some new clothes, that would make me happy. Maybe. And some black fishnets. Maybe I’ll wear my kilt for the Fourth of July. I’ll dress up. Make a scene. But I have no “crowd” to hang out with. You can’t dress up unless there’s a crowd with you. Aww…Lexus is going to sleep. I’m all alone now. I keep having revolting flashbacks about Jordan. I still don’t understand how I could have….done that. The whole concept revolts me. I think it was the Taggart breakup. I was out of my senses. I still am. But nowadays I’m about as in control as I get. Kelly wants me to go down there for this Trash Film Orgy thing, and I really can’t swing it. It’s like $50 in gas one way, all to stay for a weekend. I love Kelly, Kathy, and the gang, but I really don’t make enough money to go on weekend getaways. And I’m really afraid of making such a long drive alone. I need side-seat drivers to help change the CD when I’m involved with driving, to point out the red light that I’m about to go through, etc. God damn my feet are ugly. It’s those combat boots making them all callousy and gross-looking.

I talked to my mom a bit today, she’s going to eventually get a webcam too. I guess that will be kind of cool. I e-mailed Molly back. In her e-mail she asked if anyone I knew could use a monitor, and I said that I could…she never commented on it in her reply. It could have been an omission, or it could have been a conscious act. I guess blogging about this will only evoke an answer, when I think this is best left to the subtlties of human interactions. Sometimes I dislike blogging because it makes everything so black and white..one’s feelings so deeply known. I remember when I started this thing that I thought it was going to be weird to post my innermost thoughts on the Internet, but it really isn’t. I mean, what do I have to hide? I don’t do drugs, I don’t do anything illegal (besides the occasional drink). I don’t know…my life just seems empty as of late. I always get this way when I don’t have classes. I feel like my life is passing me by and I’m stagnating in this waste heap that is Crescent City. My new computer gives me hope, but not much hope. If the case that I want wasn’t selling out all over the Net, I would get the processor first (which is what I really should do). But the case will work fine with any motherboard/processor combo, so I really don’t know what I’m complaining about.

I guess I’m complaining about the fact that it’s going to take me many a pay period to amass all the components of my new system. It’s going to be one pay period for every component. Well, I can actually plan it all out

1) Case
2) processor (may take two pay periods)
3) motherboard
4) RAM
5) hard drive

Without any of these, the system doesn’t fly. Well, it’s only two more months. God, it’s going to take me all summer. Oh well. We’ll see how much of each paycheck I can devote to these various things. It would be nice to get the processor first, because that is the most important element. Then the RAM, then the hard drive, and lastly the motherboard. Because the motherboard is the most important thing. Everything connects via the motherboard. God, I should stop ranting. At the most, this new computer will provide me with a stable operating system…to do what? Play games? I can’t really design my website or anything with my carpal tunnel thing. Well, I would be able to surf the net and IM without using the mouse or keyboard..that would be a significant asset. I just had deja vu. I wonder if I typed the last sentence before. I think so. Maybe when I use speech-to-text to blog, IM, and surf the net my carpal tunnel thing will go away, or at least vastly decrese in severity. God, it’s 1:53. I must be getting to sleep. I’m going to be so tired tomorrow. Tomorrow is definitely an Earl Grey day. Oh, I’ve been reading that book The Mother Tounge: English And How It Got To Be That Way. I’m almost done with it. The word of the day is fin de siecle. I’ve been seeing it a lot this last month. I may blog at work during my lunch break. I’ll have to see how it goes.
