January 2004

Farewell! thou art too dear for my possessing,

And like enough thou know'st thy estimate,

The charter of thy worth gives thee releasing;

My bonds in thee are all determinate.

For how do I hold thee but by thy granting?

And for that riches where is my deserving?

The cause of this fair gift in me is wanting,

And so my patent back again is swerving.
Thy self thou gavest, thy own worth then not knowing,
Or me to whom thou gav'st it else mistaking;
So thy great gift, upon misprision growing,
Comes home again, on better judgement making.
Thus have I had thee, as a dream doth flatter,
In sleep a king, but waking no such matter.
See? Its about the croissant. He wanted it, and i wouldnt give it to him, so he ended up writing like 150 poems about it. And that Dark Lady he wrote about? Thats me. I went back in time as a black woman, just to throw people off. I think it was a bit obsessive to write so many poems about a pastry, but it is a rather special croissant, so i dont blame him too much. I think basing Romeo and Juliet on it was a bit much, but it gave the world a beautiful play, so who am i to judge. At least he changed the names, he was going to go with Croissant as the name of Romeo's family, but i was like "Billy, honey child! Go with Montague! Give me back my fucking croissant." Wow, ive done so much research for this rant! I checked out what started the first world war, i knew it was an arch something, arch bishop, arch duke, Grimmace, but i wasnt ENTIRELY sure, but i thought maybe Austria. And then i find out that Tremulate is actually a word! And that i used it correctly! And then i go looking for the right sonnet and copy pasted it, yea, i copy pasted it. But ive read them all many multiple times so i knew which one was EXACTLY about the croissant. I even found a pictuer of a CROISSANT!! Hmmm. That croissant kind of looks like Jupiter. Thats odd.

January 6th (i think) 2--3- Am i from the future, and wish to hide the date from you all, or did i just accidentally type in dashes instead of zeros!! The world may never know!! Like the ancient secret of how many licks it takes to get to the center of a tootsie pop, the world may never know, unless you ask Ike Turner, he knows ALL ABOUT licks! Okay that was wrong and Ike is a bastard, and Tina Turner is awesome and awesomely hot. Okay, so ask BELL about how many licks it takes to get to the center of a tootsie pop, because sure enough she knows. Bell is chris' dog that does not stop licking by the way. This is Eric by the way. Yea, its been awhile since ive added anything substantial to the website, mostly its been substandard. But i only elevated the standard about a month ago when i actually started adding to the site again on a regular basis, but then i stopped and havnt really added that much. But enough about my doings! You came here to read about what ever the hell it is that keeps your interest, and since i have NO idea what that might be im just going to ramble on. First off, I feel so sophstifunk! I got a new coat after wanting a new coat for a long time, i hated my old one. It didnt fit right and made me look all round and shit, it didnt ever look good unless i had the collar up, i hated it. So i was at a great new thrift store the other day and found this awesome corderoy jacket, its like a suit coat really, with cool pockets on the side and two inside, i love it. I feel like i look awesome but i probably look like an idiot. But who knows. It looks really good with my awesome cabbie hat, i want to get a gray one or something, hat i mean. But im diggin my coat. I dont know how warm it is really, but thats because Mr. Freeze has taken over st. louis and shoved it up his chilly asshole. You know, kids have really cute laughs. Because a bunch of kids just laughed at my mr. freeze joke. Really. Ive employed an audience of 4 year olds to laugh at my jokes now. Its really cute!! But kind of annoying, because they keep having to take bathroom breaks so my routine takes a bit longer. And large bears frighten them, but they frighten me so me and the kids are in the same boat. A boat to a land where there are no bears, not even care bears because they tend to smother with care. So i still have yet to register for classes, mainly because i just dont really care. I dont HAVE to go to school this semester, but i want to. So im probably only going to take one class, just so i can use the facilities and such. And im sort of with Chris in his assessment of his situation regarding certain things, so yea, couldnt be more vauge in that statement. So with that ill leave! like a magician dissapearing into a cloud of smoke! Or not. I wish i could though, that would be awesome! I could pull it out of my cool coat and kick ass! so here's a line from a poem called "savor" by pablo neruda!
"Inconclusive, I have cherished an impulse, a taste of my lonliness."

January 3rd 2004 (continued) - Whew.. finally done with work. Can I say that I hate bitchy parents? However I hate our city rules even more. So evidently since it's 2004 now, our residents aren't allowed to use their 2003 cards. Normally I would think that's a fair policy, but NOT when you don't give any real warning about getting said new cards. So I was forced to charge these people who didn't even know anything about getting new cards as non-resident because the city says they're not residents if they're flashing a 03 instead of a 04. But as much as I hate the policy and think it's bullshit, it is NOT my job to get yelled at multiple times for something I have no control over. So yeah, basically my day sucked. Now lets talk about last night. So there was this church rental from about 11:15 to 1:15, and I like money, so I decided to work it. Well everything was fine and dandy.. okay maybe not dandy, but it was at least fine... and we're switching from the skate shop to concession stand and when I come BACK to the skate shop a small group of 14(ish) yr olds were talking to one of their youth leaders and they were having a discussion about gay people. Or at least some of the kids were making fun of gay people in general, thus prompting the youth leader to intervene. However, she had this to say (which is not surprising at ALL).. "Oh, they're still our friends, they've just..... made really bad choices." I believe she said "they're" to refer to all gay people in general. But geez! After she said that I wanted to leap over the counter and slash her throat with a skate! .. ehm... I mean, give her a firm talking to with rational thoughts and ideas .. (involving skates to the throat). Seriously though, I'm not a violent person, I'm a complete pacifist, but I still have to have erratic thoughts contrary to my pacifistic nature in order to vent my frustrations on the world population and their moronic behavior. You can call me a fag, queer, etc. etc. I probably won't like it or appreciate it, but at least you're just telling me something I already know, but using negative connotations. When you tell me or say that being gay and all that entails is a choice, more importantly a BAD choice, that just blows my mind and I want to end your genetic line right then and there. I'd really love to know who the f-k started the line of thought that being gay was a choice because they need to be drawn and quartered! The HILARIOUS thing is that these people don't even KNOW any gay people to help get their facts in order and if a gay person DID tell them that it wasn't a choice they wouldn't believe them anyway. So it's just a big ol' excuse to be nasty to the gay people and the only thing they can back it up with is "because we say so." That's bullshit. Now I'm not extremely religious anymore, but I still believe a lot that religion has to offer, and excuse the f-k outta me but I'd like to know what day these church people stopped sinning all together which caused them to somehow be better than me. As far as I'm concerned, when I see them in heaven (especially that fat fugly bitch from the rental) I'm gonna kick them in their teeth. And then I'll follow it up with "It's okay, you're still my friend.... you've just chosen to be a fat fugly bitch." when really she had no choice in the matter at all; imagine that!! - chris

January 3rd 2004 - Okay, so it's 2 in the morning and I just got off of work.. and I have to be BACK at work in .. 6 hours. This is only a reminder for me to write about stupid church people and their feelings towards gay people. People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. They also shouldn't live in glass houses because they just plain fugly and we don't need to be seeing that gross product of man and woman that happens to be a circus freak.. bitch.

January 2nd 2004 - Ooo, almost wrote 2003 there. I'm going to have to get used to that. Okay, so New Years was .. eh, .. it was all right. Since I definitely didn't want to drink again for a while I decided to be the designated driver for everyone. Do you know why not many people want to be designated drivers? Because you have to watch people get drunk off their asses, having fun, and you don't get to join in WHILE they eventually (possibly) puke in your car on the way home! Anyway, the party we ended up going to was not really that great. There were supposed to be 40 people there, and when the six of us arrived.. there was ... um.. seven. So we made 13 in all. What an unlucky number! That's probably why it sucked. Whatever, so Eric and Kim got the most trashed. If the floor were able to get drunk, however, IT would have been the most trashed because after Eric and Kim got drunk, lots of their drinks somehow got sloshed all over the place in their laughing stumbles. Now I'm the first one to say that Eric is the most hilarious person I know, hands down. But when he's drunk.. he just creeps me out. And I have this thing called a personal space bubble, you've probably heard of it because more than likely you have one of your own.. well Eric was ALL up in my personal space bubble and he wouldn't stop. This drunk-head is TENACIOUS! So since I already wasn't having a good time at the party, AND I wasn't drinking, I definitely wasn't in the mood for Eric having the life of the party for at least 30 people all on his own. .. And sadly right before midnight, Liz promised me that since we're both single lonely people with no one to kiss, that we'd kiss each other on the cheek at midnight. So about 3 minutes till midnight, Liz disappears and so does Kim. 50 seconds till midnight, still no Liz. 5 minutes after midnight, Liz comes back. Soooo, I didn't even get a kiss on the cheek for New Years, so yay =[ I hope the rest of the year gets a little better than that. A part of me wishes I was still talking to that guy I was talking to, but more than likely it would just end up in me getting hurt so why even bother. I guess I'll find someone eventually.. even if eventually happens to be when I'm 35. Ah well, at least I have a cool new cd I'm listening to lately. The band is called The Format, and I like them a lot. I don't know exactly how to describe them, but they're definitely not rock OR alternative. .. Oh, and speaking of bands, I almost forgot.. How crazy is this? I was talking to Rachel last night (cuz she was at the party too) and she told me that when she went to the Kristeen Young concert just the other day she got to talk to her for a second and told her that she had named her cat after her. And Kristeen Young said that she knew that, or something, and that someone had showed her a website with a picture of the cat. And since our website is the only website that Rachel knows of that has a picture of her cat on it detailing the story of her name, then that means that Kristeen Young must have actually checked out our webpage! How bizarrely cool is that?? ... eh.. but I just had a brain fart and something that is NOT bizarrely cool is that my new next semester at school starts in 10 days. Evil. GAH! Okay, now I'm going to bed because I'm pretty much going to be spending the next two days at work, but I'm not allowed to complain because I actually want and need the hours. sigh. Here's to the new year! - chris
