minor revelations

It would appear that I am very much straight edge, which is something I didn’t even know I could be yesterday. I still can’t work out whether it’s more sad to fit this particular “counter-culture” by accident or design. I’m going to go with the latter, because I feel that people who get a tattoo of an X so that nobody serves them alcohol are pretty damn sad.

I blame my upbringing, naturally, as well as global capitalism, boy scouts, and other Circumstances Beyond My Control, though that’s probably because my first reaction was to ask myself what would Rorschach do?

And in case you were wondering, today I determined that the opposite of a horse is, in fact, a squirrel.

all these things that I’ve done


Do you like my CD racks?
I think they’re pretty cool,

Some things I did today:

– did pretty well on the first test of my course

– got kind of emo

– stuffed my hand down a blocked drain

– moved my Mac Mini into the living room to what may now be its permanent home beneath the TV

– gave up all hope of actually talking to glancey-glancey economics lecture girl

– found a big bag of wine gums in the economics lecture. Free sweeties! \o/

– made eyes on one of the wine gums (a black diamond one), then made it watch as I ate everyone who was dear to it. The last of its fellows (a long, red wine gum) I also put eyes on, and sat them opposite each other that they might share in their grief. When they had grown accustomed to being the last of their kind I took a small bite of the red one, then sat it back down that the other might be horrified at this mutilation. I took more slow bites from the red one, each time pausing to return it to its companion; it was a drawn-out death. I wonder if the knowledge that it would share this fate comforted the black wine gum, or did I simply heighten an already delinquent terror, illustrating its own demise as it looked on powerless…

Matt keeps calling me “damaged”. I think I may be beginning to understand what he’s getting at.
