1) Today i held my magic eight ball in my hand, i closed my eyes and asked “Should *kaujot change his avatar back, even if just for a short period of time?”. I gave the ball a few shakes and was shocked to read its response; “Yes, he should and if he doesn’t, his team will lose their next two games and he won’t get any sex for a very, very long time”.

Interesting, huh

2) It has been such a very long time since someone has worried about me. And because of this, i have upset someone who means a great deal to me, without even thinking he would be upset. I mean, without it even crossing my mind.

Is it still selfishness if you don’t realise you are doing it?

3) For a very long time i have been able to stalk certain people, freely, on dA without showing up on their “recent visitors list”. This pleased me.

However, it seems being inactive for a week has fixed this or broken it or something, because now i am showing and now they can see and now they know just how many times i go to their page!

dA Gods, if you are listening, the fact that we don’t always show up on someone’s recent visitors list isn’t a bug, no no, it’s a feature and i want it back!

3.1) I use “For a very long time” a lot of times in this journal entry!

4) I wish my nightmares would go away. If anyone has any hints on how to have a dreamless nights sleep i would really appreciate it, if you would share them with me.

5) I bought a bottle of wine from my local supermarket this evening and the young man who served me asked me for ID.

!

I was soooooo happy! I was like “YOU HAVE JUST MADE MY DAY”

6) I look like an 18 year old virgin today.

Hurrah!

(I should wear my hair in pigtails more often)

7) ~vivus am i allowed to invite people to the lit meet in Jan, or what?

8) Random Toni Fact – My major at university was politics.

I have been having an email debate with an old Uni pal regarding the following quote:

"Naturally the common people don't want war neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy.”

Today he sent me the following rant, which i think is worth a) Sharing and B) Discussing.


ATTN: 51% of voters
RE: you being gormless, easily duped intellectual dungheaps

Just wanted to establish that whatever fucked-up shit comes down on all of your heads over the next four years...it's all your fault.

I am no longer blaming Bush or Cheney or Karl Rove or anybody else in the NeoCon coven. You can't blame them for being evil, hateful warmongering fuckwits any more than you can blame a gun for shooting bullets. But YOU ASSHOLES let them get away with it for four more years.

A tidal wave of blood coming down on us all from the next terrorist disaster? YOUR FAULT.
Military draft stealing away the lives of an entire generation of young Americans (and then some)? YOUR FAULT.
Perpetual wars in the Middle East making Orwellian nightmares seem like tinkertoys in the sandbox? YOUR FAULT.
A ruined economy and ecology, a Constitution left in tatters, a tyranny of wealthy white "Christians" who are anything but? YOUR FAULT.
The rest of the world abandoning you when you'll need it most (and don't say it won't happen)? YOUR FAULT.
Future decades upon future decades spent living down Bush's legacy and repairing the damage to the country and the world? YOUR FAULT.
Making this planet a less prosperous and peaceful place in which to raise our future children? YOUR FUCKING FAULT, YOU FUCKING CUNTS.

I hope you're quite pleased. I hope you enjoy the tax cuts and the military dick-waving and the surge of pride you must feel when Bush stands in front of a flag he has never for a moment of his life defended. I wish you all a free copy of "My Pet Goat" and a frosty flagon of the blood if Iraqi innocents. Drink fast, it gets warm so quickly.

Just remember, when you and I are both up against the wall, the last thing you'll see before we're both shot in the head is my finger raised in accusation against you. And it won't be my index finger.

9) I need to pee so badly right now. I have this terrible, annoying habit of just holding it for as long as possible, until the very last second, and i am sitting here, writing this, jiggling around on my seat, bouncing up and down, and i know when i finally go to the loo, when i see the toilet door, i will have to cross my legs to undo the buttons on my jeans and pull them down at super quick speeds.

Imagine then, me doing this while wearing a pair of jeans that don’t have a zip or buttons, but instead have a length of leather tie criss-crossed up the front and tied in a bow. These jeans were my favourite jeans for ever such a long time, until i needed to pee really badly and i pulled the wrong bit of leather and instead of unfastening, the damn thing knotted together and i could not unbloodydo it!

I have no idea why i am telling you this!

10) I think *Bringa has kidnapped my muse and i suspect he has sold her to * shotgunmessiah because i heard a rumour that he’s writing again.

He bloody better be!

11) Task – Think of a word beginning with F.

You may see a silly fop and a worshipful justice, a griping rook and a grave citizen, a worthy lawyer and an errant pickpocket, a reverend non-conformist and a canting mountebank, all blended together to compose a medley of impertinence at the *Coffeehouse
