Right. This is likely the most I have typed all year.

So I moved and it's been a comedy of errors. So many thingss have gone wrong that two days ago I just had to laugh hysterically. I guess that's a pretty good coping mechanism comparatively speaking.

In the past month or so I have had two car accidents after none in about twenty years. The main burner on my stove will not even boil water. Some leak occurred under my sink soaking everything under it and the floor and my nifty monkey socks. My phone has intermitently worked and AT&T has now fully blown me off twice. I want that job. My mod phone works when it wants to work. You know - those crescent shped ones? Anyway, I thought it was that at first. No such luck. Due to the phone not working I missed a Crispin Glover presentation and assignment. I did not miss "You have 27 voice messages." That was from 2 days. When the hell did I become so popular? It must be the reason for the season. I have discovered that approximately half of my electrical outlets work. Many have a bizarre archaic 4 thing prong plug dealy-o which I am sure can only be found at Radioshack. How does that store remain open? Is it a crack front?

My bedroom was painted a lovely color of green, but the ceiling is white and I can see the bits where it isn't even and it is making me cringe. It's the one thing I am anal retentive about I think. I have, for some reason, begun making my bed daily for the first time in my entire life.

None of the window coverings I have had made or purchased in the past four moves fit any of the windows. I have yet to suss the proper heating balance on these old systems which appear to be freshly pierced nipple sensitive.

I changed the lock and it's all wonky and ill fitting now, but it cost me almost 60.00 at Home Depot so fuck buying another kit. The floorboard at the front of my door is a hunk of wood. Ghe - toe.

My shower was not draining so I got a funky wackadoodly looking accordian plunger and it's manly power sucked the drain right out of the tub. (It was broken as it happens.) My shower rod then fell down and hit me squarely on the noggin'. I had to get a new one.

My packages were being delivered to the office and they did not inform me. I informed the worker that she is a jerk. Welcome to the building I have already let my bigmouth strikes again syndrome fucketh me over in yet to be determined ways.

I still have a ton to unpack. It's sort of crazy. I, of course, neglected to mark which of the probably hundred boxes contains my remotes. So netflix dvds are right out. Boo-urns.

I haven't seen one of my best friends in months since his new girlfriend who gave me the stink eye. I still have his back and vice versa - I just hope he's getting good sex.

My brother got married and his mother in law wants to "hang out" with me. I am a bit offput by that. Is it just me?

In watching the Flaming Lips Fearless Freaks again I have decided rather than WWJD or WWJJD to adapt WWWCD as my personal mantra. As opposed to personal praying mantis, which sounds like it might be kind of cool.

My friend who bought the 7 or 8 White Stripes tickets for my friends and me has yet to refund the money and it's caused a clusterfuck.

The building I am in is known for it's Jewish population and I appear to be suffering from whatever the opposite of anti-sematism happens to be -- which oddly enough I have never deciphered. My question - How do they know? Is there a secret handshake? Goo Gone does not remove mezuzah residue. There oughta be a law! ::shakes fist::

I just found out a trial from 4 years ago is happening next month. I had to sit at a lawyer's office ( while paying 30 dollars for parking) and get railed on as if he were the opposing attorney. My smart ass nature might get me into trouble on this one.

Is anyone still reading this? Wow I feel like I typed forever. And it was all -- personal life. How strange.

What is going on in your life?

it seems you have a life. Be happy about it. You could be lonely and jobless like me.

i hate the word cluster, it makes me cringe.

Maybe because of "cluster headache"?

I read. I was gonna say 'what's up, HG?" but now I have my answer. I have a headache. It doesn't help that I did not sleep much as I went to bed at 4 am and was woken up by my stupid neighbour having extremely loud, borderline exhibitionist (audio only) sex at 7 am. Who the fuck has sex that early? She is a crusty ho though, so maybe she was trying to get one bf out of the way for her noon appointment with her other one. And her howling is so not sexy, especially not at 7 am. I would rather listen to her being murdered.

well, your life is more interstingthan mine at the moment. i think.

ive met someone but dont want to go into details as i do belive in jinxes. im top student in my auto mechanic class in school and have been since day one, always the nerd am i. my teach has a masive crush on me and is playful and makes me teach's pet. all the kids in calss with me keep coming to me to show them how to do stuff because of this. or because i do know my shit, what ive learned of it anyhow. i keep asking the teach whyd they design it like this and not that, wouldnt that be easier, or more efficient... he keeps telling me to ask an engineer i guess because i mentioned id like to go back to school for mechanical and electrical and automotive engineering but need a good job first and this would be a good background for that.

my bro is moving to virginia in jan i think. was supposed to be june but they moved it up i guess. not cool, bro is my best bud and we havent lived apart ever til he found his wife. will miss you bro.

TILKI! Much love and cheer to you -- it's been forever. You are good. Have I mentioned that?


vodkaveins - We are even then because many of your posts have made me cringe.

Also - everyone has a life, erm, it's what you make it or some pollyanna shit like that there.

PEOPLE! Tell me more about you and what's up in your world. Please? It would be ever so kind.

Todays debacle:

I turned on the light in the closet and the string broke off of the fixture which is likely 25 years old. The hits just keep on coming.

On the plus side I love the space and all of my friends and family have been really great with helping me. I am, all said, a lucky woman.

Today the cable guy is supposed to come ( provided he, unlike the phone company actually follows through with his assignments.) The last guy who lived here stole the cable box. Comcast tried to get me to pay but I gave 'em the what for. I tells ya I'll box their ears if they pull any monkey business.

yikes. it's lousy when things, however small, seem to all go wrong at the same time. so here's some sympathy! *sends good vibes*

[too much information.]

oh and, hg-- you're a woman? i had no idea!

Hi HG:

Yeah, moving SUCKS! I think that's one of the reasons that I keep prolonging my own situation...that and money. But when we bought this house last century, I went into some kinda wierd state of shock because the moving thing just mindfucked me one time too many.

...and tell me about white ceilings!! I've spent many a phone convo listening/obsessing about my white ceilings and thinking about what a total failure I was for NOT painting the fucking ceilings.

Otherwise, for some odd reason, I am buried in finals and my kid and her drama (she's 18 in a few weeks), but I don't get rattled anymore. Nothing flips me out anymore and I don't know why not. It's only life and problems and there's more where these came from, so, fuck it.

I was really happy to see your post though, because you sort of opened up a lot. You don't do that in public very much. That was nice.

Is this who I think it is? I hope not. I hope things start looking up. It's a mod, mod world, baby.

Ah jeez cautious - I forgot you and he and I are all friends. I so rarely - as in erm, never, mix KR and rl. Yes it is. I am not mad at him and know we will always be buds, but check it - I called him to inform him of the new Joe Strummer film and ask if he wanted to go and left a message. He went with her. Zoinks and jinxies. Mighty odd times. I chalk it up to probably mind blowing bjs.


vodkaveins - you can neg meall you like -- it's fine. I calls 'em like I see 'em. I pos rep you when I like what you say and neg when I do not. That's how it works. You used to annoy me when you first came here - the first week in particular. You haven't of late. You didn't like what I said so you gave me a spotty rep panel in need of clearasil. I am fine with that. Plus - it's just the internet. Don't sweat the small stuff.

Yeah tracyr you are right. I don't open up much here at all. It isn't for fear or anything it's just that I do it reral time with my friends. You are welcome though.

marionette - yes a born female with hefty hooters. Whodathunkit? For some reason a lot of people assume I am male. Maybe it's because I can be brash and that is male defined? Did you think I was gay or straight? Not that it matters - just a curioosity Kr style. If you like you can pm me about your issues. I would jump on msn or something but it's been so long I do not remember my accunts or passwords. Please do not be afraid to call local crisis counseling. If you have a panic attack - go to the emergency room. You can try to go to a health food store and buy bach flower drops to ease it as well as chamomile tea. A not too warm bubble bath helps too. Good luck with school. There may be ( not sure) a half way decent counselor there for you as well.

In terms of your issue -- I have a feeling you would do well with a peer support group. Look up your local community mental health center and see if they have meetings for that. Please do not mix food with personal emotional issues. I've done it and I slip too. Try your hardest to be aware of the triggers and just tell yourself you are stronger than that. Don't beat yourself up so much please.

thanks. yeah, there's a counsellor but eh, i'm stubborn. i'll manage. i might try those droplets though.:P

i thought you were a straight male. i have no idea why.. maybe 'cause you don't seem to get catty with people on here? hm..

Bah, shit happens. Hmm, I haven't heard from him either really. So, did you see the movie anyway? Everyone says it's the bees knees.
I was recently watching the Band Aid video for "Do They Know It's Christmas?" and Paul Weller looked really teeny next to Geldof, but apparently he's 5'10", so either he was standing funny or Sir Bob is a freakish giant?

I don't know his stats ( I have an instant mental picture of him in that video). I came close to meeting him last time he was in town. Perhaps it's better I haven't met him as I've heard he's a prick. He and Bowie and Strummer are the only people I really want to meet. Erm, Strummer not so much now. No I didn;t get my ass out to see it, but I will see or buy it eventually. I am thinking of going to a screening of the Naked Raygun doc and a show. If you're in town....

Ha ha yeah I know. I knew it was a fixer upper when I bid - so it's okay. It will be lovely some day. It's really nice to have space. I had forgotten what it felt like. I have been stress smoking though. so I'll have to quit soon.

the coolest - I understand. Reading is bad. By the way - step it up or step off. You kind of suck at this stuff.
