...until you burn the place down?

Nah, my family ran into some money trouble this year so now I have to help them out and must wait until next year to go back to university. Working for a living like a normal person (with only a highschool diploma) really sucks. At least I get to work with computers and files and stuff, and not at a gas station or fast food place or something, because if that were the case I think I would just end it.

Lindsay Lohan's doing it for a cool million. Trouble is, haven't we already seen everything she's got to offer? Who buys it anyway? Who would buy that particular issue??? Hef must have found a charity tax break somewhere.

Stay at home or get value for my money? At the same time it might be: stay at home or infect about 50 people with whatever I've got? That is, if I've got anything other than a headache and feeling queasy. Or maybe, go, suffer through the morning lessons and then go home?

He then proceeded to tell me about the pet religion which he invented (or was "enlightened by" in his words) once when he was high (his account was, by the way, unbelievably stupid - yes, even more so than you'd expect) for twenty minutes.

It gets very annoying in a place like Grande Cache. It really has nothing to do with being pretty either, I work in a hotel complex so most of the time I'm the first woman that these rig guys have seen in eight months. I have to face awkward situations and get all evasive and politely laugh (which seriously makes me feel like I'm dying inside) roughly nine times every day when all I really want to do is throw my potted plant at them. It's not too bad though, because it was WAY worse when I was waitressing. When I was bartending in Edmonton while I was at the U of A it wasn't half as bad, it's just this isolated little town and it's horny rednecks.

I have to face awkward situations and get all evasive and politely laugh (which seriously makes me feel like I'm dying inside) roughly nine times every day when all I really want to do is throw my potted plant at them. It's not too bad though, because it was WAY worse when I was waitressing. When I was bartending in Edmonton while I was at the U of A it wasn't half as bad, it's just this isolated little town and it's horny rednecks.

I have a friend who worked as a cashier in northern BC and had exactly the same experience you describe. The rig-workers were practically humping her leg all day every day. She said she'd not wear make up, would avoid eye-contact and still it made no difference.

I realized someone I was looking for had already found me, and was secretly talking to me while pretending to be someone else. I am completely perplexed.

Here?


Electrical Storm!!!

[Varenne Rodin]

Here?


Electrical Storm!!!

Maybe here too. I don't know. Could be anyone. This person created a false identity outside of the internet, though. Possibly several. I'm not upset, just confused and curious to learn what the motivation has been.

[MystyrMystyry]

Done with finals; now break!

You sound happy, Faithosaurus - this is good!


Varenne, this sees like a few weird associations you've got yourself mixed up in lately - don't make your life needlessly complicated is my advice.


Storm's cleared (but excellent while it lasted - there was one bolt right next door and the thunderclap was deafening)

I actually don't have many weird associations. I do receive weird attention, however. The person I'm speaking of was a friend in the real world for over ten years. We also dated. Aside from being the smartest mega genius I ever knew, he wasn't strange. He had an artful way of speaking. At some point he seemed to develop an alcohol problem and I kind of withdrew from the friendship. I tried to find him later to see if he had recovered, to see if he was still living.

This is the part that is bonkers; I had another friend (this one online) for more than ten years and eventually in phone texts. We would talk about movies and make jokes and all sorts of just wholesome casual friend type stuff. They were the same person. Different personas, different phone numbers, different addresses. The online version of him made friends with a girl I was very close friends with in the real world. We had several mutual acquaintances. He moved around in the states. He flew to visit here and there with people I genuinely knew, and he was doing it as different people. I don't think he's scary. I think this has been a very elaborate Andy Kaufman type of joke. Made possible by him being a rich, bored genius.

Lightning storms can be cool. We just had a big snow storm here. I went out in it last night for fun.

[country doctor]

right now?

why is the doc so clever?

ROAR!

[MystyrMystyry]

Are any of his alternate personas

1) Rich?

2) Bored?

3) Genius?

Maybe they don't want to be perceived in these pigeonholing categories for stultification purposes, and found online a new identity (or twenty) serves their freedom better, even if some people get confuddled in the process?

Perhaps have a look at a movie called The Ruling Class if you're looking for answers to behavioral problems amongst the upper echelons.


Well it rained all night and my towels are now soaked through, which is a bloody nuisance, so I'm off to buy more :)

Rich, bored, and genius they all are, but one is rich from inheritance, one from gambling wins, one from a successful psychology practice. I now have no idea what his actual job was, but he certainly had the means to inhabit multiple residences, afford at least two cellular phones and two computers, and travel frequently in planes.

I'm not complaining, but I am fascinated by this behavior. I'm also amazed that I was able to fascinate such a strange and troubled creature for so many years. He rarely seemed to get bored of messing with me. It made for a lot of amusement for both of us, I think. The game might be over, or he might just reappear as someone new.

[Maximilianus]

I think that Varenne is under a situation that might awaken my detective side. Gotta nail this cheeky culprit! http://smiles.kolobok.us/standart/yes2.gif :p

[Varenne Rodin]

That's how I felt, Max! He wove quite a tapestry.

[Maximilianus]

You seem to have been a center of attention, which is often interesting and at times it may also feel as a caress, but be careful anyway.

Good advice, Max. I wish him well and, as for me, I'm secure. :)

[JuniperWoolf]

I want to move. Also, I'm starting to feel increasing spite for the Philipines.

[Maximilianus]

They complain when one spends the day at the computer doing one's stuff, but when one browses the web for a considerable time searching for some of their stuff they just love it. Conclusion: the value of what I do is directly proportional to someone else's interests.

[MystyrMystyry]

Ah Varenne - so you may never have known the real person? This is strange to the power of um lots.


I must remember to buy new towels every Christmas!

It's hard to say what I knew. Some things I'm certain of. He was very well read. He was an atheist. His knowledge of history and global politics were the best I have encountered. His sense of humor was sharp and always on. He seemed genuinely giddy with happiness around me. He once told me he wrote a little story about me. It was written by Harlan Ellison, but I pretended I didn't know because he seemed so pleased with himself. It's hard to describe, but he was a funny funny person. I really liked being his friend. I'm content to not be his friend now, but it was an enriching experience.

[MystyrMystyry]

Sophie's Choice comes to mind (when it's revealed about her bloke) though not so extreme. Some get past diagnosis by having highly regarded qualities which outweigh other aspects (which only show up when things go bad for them). Possibly a minor trauma somewhere along the line flipped him out...


My fridge has just died on me and I don't have the tools to repair it, and I don't trust repairmen, and I'll only buy another as a last resort - which will then leave me with a bunch of useless fridge repair tools, hassle hassle hassle...

Pearl Harbour sucked, and I miss you.

I think somebody needs a new fridge!

It should be entirely illegal to have your credit info stored in your Nook. I swear I just spent like $40 in a matter of minutes because it's as simple as clicking buy and then confirm. No tangible books means it's very easy to over spend :)

I exam today- they said if this does't work it's bifocals. BIFOCALS!?!?!?!

He's light and fragile and feathered sky blue,
So thin and graceful the sun shines through.
This little bird who lives on the wind,
This little bird that somebody sends.
He flies so high up in the sky
Out of reach of human eye.
And the only time that he touches the ground
Is when that little bird
Is when that little bird
Is when that little bird dies.

It's good to be home, in bed on a Saturday morning.

Get out of bed PY, i've got fireworks to buy, damn, hope some are left!!

Is this fireworks on New Years something new? We never did it up north but below the mason dixon line it seems like a big deal (I realize of course you're in the caymans )

[country doctor]

right now?

what's the sound of one hand clapping?

ROAR!

[JuniperWoolf]

Hahahaha, I just read the most bitter paragraph ever:


Some ***hole at work the other day told me "you're never fully dressed without a smile." This set off my bull**** alarm. It's like that stupid phrase "everything I need to know I learned in kindergarden." Oh really? Apparently you didn't learn that everything written on inspirational posters is horse **** for mindless corporate *** kissing morons who wear suits and ties to work for the next 30 years so they can retire off of their ****ty 401K plan and pay for some spoiled ungrateful bratt to go through school while they sit back and rott in front of countless Suddenly Susans until they finally become another unmemorable, faceless nobody in an obituary after their 70 year existence, while their dip**** kids having gone through college with their heads up their asses for 3 years, still not knowing what the hell their major is, sign up for some class that someone who knows what they're doing needs but can't take because there aren't any more seats so they get tired of being dicked around and drop out of college only to work for another ****ty telecommunications company with MORE BULL**** INSPIRATIONAL POSTERS HANGING ON THE WALLS EVERWHERE WE LOOK, BEING SHOVED DOWN OUR THROATS UNTIL THE DAY WE DIE.

Brilliant. That's bitterness as an artform.

[Varenne Rodin]

That's how I feel right now. I have completely lost myself. I just don't ****ing care anymore.

*sigh* Back to reality.

"Set me free why don’t ya babe. Get out of my life why don’t ya babe? ‘cause you don’t really love me... You just keep me hangin’ on! Why don’t ya be a man about it and set me free? Now you don’t care a thing about me. You’re just using me - Hey, abusing me.
Get out, get out of my life... And let me sleep at night... ‘Cos you don’t really love me
You just keep me hangin’ on."

Kneed to get this laundry done.

[tonywalt]

Yea, fireworks are big here. I suppose it is becuse they are legal here and in many southern rural areas(where people go out and buy them and bring the to the suburbs). Damn good fun!

[tonywalt]

Why did a certain person go through a certain person's blackberry messages. Why?! Ok, from now on it's hidden and messages deleted.

But seriously why would Jane Doe do this? I hope no one does that kind of thing on ONLIT, good people that we are....

Is it bad to be watching Word World even though the kids aren't here???

Because Jane Doe is either insecure or very jealous or insecure and jealous. Sounds like drama.

I'm stalling, and it occurs to me that I'm stalling by thinking about stalling. Guess I really do need to find something to do.
