they are generally not very smart.

That sounds silly. Who said that? I understand that there is no need to

'course, my sister keeps my house clean. I live more ot my boyfriend's
house. But it's not clean either. Not since the cleaning lady moved to
calgary. There's still no real need to keep it clean, except that hairy
men seem to shed a lot, and the bathroom is going to been really not cool,
really soon.
Anyway. I still feel as if my understanding is worth something, even if I
won't clean the dustpuppies out of the bathroom.

Tell him you wish he had a clue sexually, like your last sex
partner. This will cause anxiety and self doubt, particularly if you
let him know you are actively looking for a real man to replace him,
and you'd like him to disappear when the replacement arrives.

well, *i* said it. :> i was reading gurdjieff because i was feeling very
adrift and i took the part about keeping your house in order very
literally. decided that since i'm obviously not going to find my calling
during this year off from college, i need to use it to learn how to
function in the world. to me that means keeping the apartment relatively
clean, the dishes relatively done, trash out, food stocked and sometimes
cooked, laundry done, bills paid. it is well nigh impossible and i hate
it. but i consider it to be a prerequisite. i can't let myself
dissipate. i can't try to figure out the world at large when i'm letting
my immediate environment go to shit.

i read somewhere that undone chores sap your energy. a house that's messy
to me is a house where every room confronts me with a bunch of shoulds and
oughts. if i can learn to just *do* the shit it won't torment me.

maybe i shouldn't have phrased it so universally. personally i feel that
i'm instinctually going about it all wrong, that i need to be anchored
before i can drift, which means i need to be functional before i can
philosophize.

eef. i just woke up and i can't -even- imagine doing such a thing..
grating testicles, that is.
and i don't want to insult people. if they say something and i call
them on it or say 'hey, none of that.' and the stop, then okay. if
they don't, i'm not going to insult them because that doesn't really
do me any good, but i'm also not going to be around them. which sucks,
i think. i'm not sure. i'm having hormonal issues.

That makes sense. I remember that, vaguely... I guess now I live 90% of
the time in a house I don't feel required to clean since it isn't mine. :)
All the shoulds become "somebody else should, but at least there's a place
on the couch for my ass so I can read."
Oi, I am Bad People.

cleaning lady and a dishwasher. I like cooking. And so I philosophize...

i stayed at a house for two days and vaccumed, washed some dishes,
straightened the room and made the bed. i mainly vaccumed because it
was my cookie crumbs on the floor, but the rest was because i was
there and it was messy.. and before i was there it wasn't messy ;)
i really wish i hadn't just said that, though. now i have to clean up
mom's house all the time to be fair.
it really is fair, though. if you are somewhere, you should do some
work. payback and all that.
plus, cleaning is good. it makes things better. you can do more, relax
more, sit more.. you come home to something good instead of something
smelling vaguely like tuna casserole pizza. ;)

Hormonal issues make me hurt people's testicals with cheese graters even
when they don't diserve it. Make sure people know they're hurting you for
actual, 'kay? Lots of people can't tell when they've crossed the fine
line from joking to offensive. Just depends on your buttons, I suppose,
but they gotta know what they are...
There will be no hurting without good reason. I proclaim it.

Well, you'll get dispute from older regulars, but I'm not really
that hot on insults either of late, but I do a sort of defensive
strike. If left alone, i leave well enough alone. When cornered, I
maim verbally. Your mileage varies, of course. I've found in the past

friends. I know it sucks, having been there and still being there from

I'd like to tell you a story, melissa. A true one. I used to harm myself. It's
not something I'm proud of, but it is something I did, because I felt it helped.
I won't even begin to attempt to discuss the merits or flaws of it as a remedy,
but will state that at the time I was likely chemically depressed, and am now on
anti-depressants. You decide.
I was on a train. I like trains. I was single. I am growing comfortable with
this state, but that may be because I've started paying attention to myself for
once. I saw this girl, young, the kind with eyes that intrigue. That mixture of
scared defiance that so intrigues. Dressed in black, accessorised by spookykid,
and vulnerable and not vulnerable in a way that interested me. So I looked. She
noticed me looking, which I also like. She rolled up her sleeve and showed me
maybe sixteen, seventeen long horizontal scars, livid from rubbing, on her
forearm. Her expression didn't change. Only, it did, later, when I didn't really
stop looking. I didn't have the courage, or gall, perhaps, to ask her what she
thought that showing me those scars would achieve. I know I consider it one of
the most beautiful things I've ever seen. Emotional nakedness has a purity that
I must confess I enjoy. It also terrifies me. This is your world, melissa. Don't
trust that what you seek to change will have power. Don't fail to realise that
it could.

yes. well. i'm an idiot, you see. i some free samples of this one kind
back when i was 17.. and they've just been sitting around.. and then i
got some free samples of my ortho tri.. buuut.. i ran out of orthotri
and my brain said, "well. you have this othere stuff!" so.. i just
took it for a month.. and uhm.. got a prescription and some more
orthotri so then when the month on the other kind was over, i just
switched back.
as the lady said when we called for the prescription (the doctor lady
who had to call back because she didn't think i made any sense.
probably right) "you.. really can't just.. do that..." and mom said,

i had one which, inside of the three months, made me so massively
depressed that i could hardly move. fortunately, at the time i had a
really good doctor who took this side effect seriously. now i'm on one
that only makes me depressed, kills my sex drive, and makes me gain
weight.

Just the close door, so far, actually, but that's the one
which the police were impressed by and said would be really difficult to
break through. And the buzzer works again. We have a mortis of our own
which we plan to attach to the old onyx portal; I'm tempted also to get an
iron bar which I can hide discreetly in the hall just in case that fucker
tries to break in again. But probably, if he does, I'll just talk to
him; I've been thinking about the things I learned from his voice and
appearance, things which he probably wouldn't have a clue how I could know
- and I reckon I could get him whimpering on the floor without too much
trouble, if I had to. Take out a bit of this physical frustration in good
old-fashioned psychological mutilation.

My dream had no sex in it at all. There will probably be no
physical sex in the novella, though some remembered or imagined stuff
might turn up. The story is about Antarctica. It's pleasingly different
from my last book.
>>want to role-play more, but that's not likely to happen.

Donald is supposed to be running 'SLA Industries'. Hojheg is
supposed to be running 'Runequest', and also 'Teenage Mutant Ninja
Turtles', in which I have a skunk character I'm rather fond of. The
problem is that someone in any arranged group is always missing. Everyone
was in last night, but Emma came round, so we ended up educating the
youngsters by watching 'Dark Star' instead (hence today's .sig).
>No! Ignore the dread tide of non-meat. Flesh! Flesh! Flesh!
But veggi-mince is yummy, and much easier to digest than
meat. Most meat which I eat nowadays tastes like wool. It hardly seems to
have any nutrition in it. I can't be bothered with it in the same way that
I can't be bothered with the crusts off bread or the ends of the loaf. I
love tempeh, Indonesian soya food. Yum! :) It absorbs flavour superbly
in curry.

Well, here's my -current- state of mind for today, instead of my life
summed up in 7 lines as some have done (which I like the idea of as
well):
1. I have two 5-ft. tall tin knights in armor in my room; they rock.
I feel coo.
2. I get to see an old friend today, and I'm looking forward to it.
3. Yesterday's arrival of the Evil Girl Scout Cookies is ruining my
diet.
4. I'll be 27 in 2 weeks, I feel like a loser, and I feel oooold; no
one will wish me a happy b-day except for my parents.
5. I have done something nice for a person who's not even my friend,
who I don't know anymore, and I feel good about it.
6. I wish I didn't need to smoke so much.
7. For the 1st time in my life, I am happy without influence from
another person; it feels very independent, and it feels nice for a
change.
Can I do this again tomorrow? :)

2. Relieved to be home, but having gotten used to uncertainty and

3. Hating the internet because it doesn't actually make the world any
smaller, it just connects you deeply to people who are farther away
4. Haven't had a good cry yet since I've been home, but I feel it
coming
5. Dreading being alone all next week (SO will be away), knowing the
good cry is coming
6. Working on sorting out my ideas about friendship, love, sex,
jealousy and discomfort, and why I cry when people are nice to me
7. Breaking in new boots and bleeding at the heels

that's a good way to live... because honestly it won't do you harm to live
in an untidy house, or even in a dirty one if it's not dirty for long
(like, my house doesn't go unmopped/unvacuumed for more than a couple of
weeks, but there's always shit strewn all over). i mean, unless you're
constantly dropping shit on yourself. but it will do you harm to be
always beating yourself up about how you ought to be cleaning.
unfortunately i *gotta* beat myself up about cleaning because i really
*ought* to be cleaning... my dad's visiting on tuesday and the guest
room's a mess, plus i'm wearing my last pair of clean undies and i'm out
of work clothes and i really have to schlep to the laundromat. but if you
don't have that obligation, enjoy it. :>

i have learned the monetary value of both -- that is, more than i can
afford. we overpay on the apartment as it is. and it shouldn't be that
hard to keep it tidy, since we don't *own* anything... for some reason it
is though. when i have a bigger place i think i'll pay someone else to
clean (or even better, to do my grocery shopping for me :>).

Goth music will always be second rate rip-offs of the cutting "edge"
And as long as they stay popular in europe and make oodles of cash they
aren't going to change their formula.
What needs to happen for "goth" music to be "fixed" is for the goth scene
to _die_ for a couple of years.

*nod*
hell, I love VNV, Covenant, and Apop... and that's (sadly) probably why: because
they all sound relatively similar. I guess you could say that about pretty much
everything though... I've not heard anything -really- original for quite some time.
sure, you can have more "unique" voices and better technology and fantastic
lyrics... but the truth is it's all been done before. *sigh* everything is so
recycled.
on the other hand though, I think Groth and Ronan are f*cking geniuses, simply
because I can personally relate to every single one of their songs, and I've not
found that to be true with any of the other bands I've listened to. so... that's
only for me though. I can understand what you're saying.

But, do these bands make oodles of cash?
They certainly put out a lot of remixes.

It did, youngster. :P
We called those years "1987 to 1994".
Or thereabouts.

VNV and Covenant *are* the same band.
One guy sings for VNV, and lets his friend write the pop music.
They swap for Covenant.
Apop ... well, I can pick the difference.

And, yet, Depeche Mode in 2001 sounds like sub-VNV demos.
If that sideline remix is any indication.

nice thought, but i'm poor... i think i'd make more money if i *was* a
cleaner. :> and our house is barely worth keeping clean... i mopped the
kitchen and the bathroom and cleaned all the fixtures in there the other
day, and you *can't tell*. the tile is just that permanently gross. same
with our carpet, which is stain-colored. and the walls.. someone needs to
explain to the landlord that spiffing up by just putting layers and layers
of paint every time the old one gets scudgy is not kosher.

Other than that.. I clean when I'm in a bad mood, or *really* fidgety... our

I preferred the "cleaner" from the film "La Femme Nikita." He was
the most ruthless brute I've seen in such a role. He's French, and I

Bauhaus and tSoM sound like bowie from an earlier era than them.
David G Claims Joy Division is The Stooges and Velvet Underground Played by
people who couldn't play their instruments.
Most early industrial had already been done in the 50's (Yes I've heard it
yes it's _wierder_ than early industrial... no I'm not lieing)
I guess Killing Joke counts as something new.
As far as I can tell considering my fathers comprehensive 60s and 70s
music collection is that the cutting edge of the early 80's at least
was _synthpop_ :PP

No the _scene_ not the music... You still had "goth" clubs they were just
playing industrial. What needs to happen is everything just dies horribly
no clubs. No people no live bands (*sigh*) basicaly an entire
break in continuity so that a whole heap of people will piss of and be
ravers and there's no one to claim old-skool points and start another
Rossetta Clone band :P
What the music needs is less people so it won't be constrained by puny
little things like pop sensibility anymore :PPPPP
