...and this friggin albatross... heh. |
|
|
|
its the dock worker look, or pretentious artfag photographer look, eitherway |
|
Last night I was wearing leather, but that's a different story. |
Green Boxers Old socks My rockin' new shoes that look weird because they're the shape of my feet. Old white beat-to-hell stretched-out white tshirt Green wool trencoat liner. Contents of my pockets: Wallet Green Handspring Visor Foldable keyboard for said Visor Set of lockpicks Red hankerchief ChapStick (origional flavor) Keys Leatherman Wave Shit, now that I write that out, is seems like a lot. I guess I do have something in every pocket. |
my wife got an offer from Dillards corp to move to little rock...to be the head sweater designer...the money is good, especially for the little rock market, we could live like kings,buy a house everything but god damn, it's little rock... i bet the pot sucks there too.... i'm firmly against mocing to little rock, but the thought was considered for a few days, i told the mrs. i knew at least one person outthataway |
|
LR's got a lot of problems w/ gang violence. there are parts of it that are really run-down & fucked up. however, there are little things i like about it. my best friend lives down there & won't move for any reason. she lives near some of the shittiest parts of the city & just won't move out. she digs it there. there are really rich areas & there are dirt-poor areas. it's a weird mix. it's urban, but you can escape to the county w/ a fairly short drive. i don't know about the pot down there. i'm not a pot person, really. haven't smoked LR weed since the '70s, i think. little rock's not bad. more urban than you'd think. but if you're coming from a MAJOR urban area, which you are, y'all might get bored really fast. |
green, blue, grey and white horozontally striped pajama drawstring boxer shorts. green pajama t-shirt. where did i put that straightjacket? |
more like raleigh in size available culture. i bet downtown is really sleepy after 5 and nightlife is limited to sporadic spots... |
Going to dress. Going to go outside. Going to be human. |
call it a cross between artfag and pretentious fruitcake. |
|
|
it's 10 hours later and i'm wearing the same thing. well, not the same 'thing', but the 'same' thing. y'know? as in different clothes, but it came out the same. except the boots, theyre the same, and i'm not wearing any socks. damn. |
white mens sport socks with red toe seam. mens american eagle jeans, fraying at my left knee. superman baby tee. eddie bauer canoe paddle sweatshirt. sideout baby blue glitter watch (it glows in the dark!). stainless chain with a sterling sixteenth note pendant. small silvery hoops. contacts. |
|
|
|
socks and shoes, white rib t-shirt, black dress jacket, oval onyx ring, silver and black watch, silver dolphin bracelet, heart shaped locket, 5 silver hoop earings. i gotta buy clothes i gotta buy clothes with colour |
|
|
at work i'm becoming known for my wacky shoes. someone else in the department came to work wearing tiger-striped fuzzy maryjanes and showed them to the girl in cosmetics. "omigosh, you're turning into lauren!" |
|
its hard to buy clothes when you are in between sizes |
|
i like it that way. those ARE colors. tho i've been heading towards olive and brown... |
|
I think clothing is an important aspect of self-expression. When I was in Catholic school and forced to wear the same thing as everyone else, I was miserable. Now I look like a rummage sale that threw up. And I'm happy as hell... And I gotz style. |
But red? Forget about it. Yellow? unlikely. |
|
black dorkfuck glasses....and a red A on my forhead |
Rather then let them beat me, I decided to come to work in the clothes I had already tossed on for the woods weekend. A well worn pair of Carhartt overalls that have a huge hole in one thigh where a chainsawing incident almost made me an amputee, a funky old lambswool sweater and a big ol' pair of hiking boots. Much like Patrick, my co-workers are all really impressed. |
|
anyway, stretchy-silvery skirt with some crap on the bottom edge white man-shirt over a black shirt porcupine quill |
|
Olive dress shirt Grey/olive dress pants Circuitboard tie (Addiction) Tiny glasses My wierd-shaped shoes. |
*White wife-beater underneath. *These plain cotton olive pants with rhinestones sewed on the sides that were originally $88 but were on sale for $10, and you know they're not worth more than $5. *Black suede slip-on shoes (you know, the kind that don't have backs) and the suede is sewed into a harlequin pattern. I love them. They're Simple, so the toe is wider than the rest of the shoe for a duck-foot affect. *Small rhinestone earrings. *A silver ring with a square green iolite(?) stone on my wedding ring finger. *A blue stamp on my right hand from the 9:30 Club, where I saw Elliott Smith last night. *A half-concealed smile. |
the red a just don't get all crazy or do, what do i know |
|
I'm wearing black, still, but a different shirt, it's a little chilly out. |

The bizarre thing about it is that he'll often spend a lot of time getting an outfit together and then never step outside the house. He's too phobic. He really does it for private kicks. About the only time he'll go out dressed like that is if we take him to other towns. Then he'll gleefully get out and scare the hell out of the local citizens. He just doesn't like doing it on his own turf. I just wonder what Brendan's going to be like when he hits adulthood. If he ever does. He'll keep getting older physically but I don't know about the emotional factor. Like I've often said, the boy may end up living with me until he's fifty. |
i lit a fire in the living room and a fire in my mind. |
|
cut-off cammies no socks, HD boots. stuck in the grunge years... |
|
|
over the white t-shirt, a red long-sleeved button down cotton shirt of my grandfathers. levis bought at some thrift store. they come just above my ankles, that must be why they were so damn cheap. i see all of the "girls" wearing these type of jeans. i feel trendy or something. i'm pretty well hidden at work though. sandals 'cause my feet get hot. it's always hot at work, and i hate for my feet to be hot or cold. |
|
i'm planning to hold a post-halloween party, partly so i can invite keith over. i've only seen him that one time at work since june. i'm trying to goad him into saying that he "wants" me, because he did last year and he's pretty shy. who cares about bear-baiting, i'm going boy-baiting. currently wearing an old "metropolitan youth symphony" t-shirt, dark blue levi's (i've entioned them before), sport socks and black ballet slippers. i need to change to something that's both nicer and less likely to aquire pet dander. i don't want the kitties to get a whiff of shakespeare. |
now if only these damn fungi monkeys would kick in... |
|
think blue sweater, striped t-shirt, standard jewels (minus watch), two rubberbands, jeans, a pair of my dad's black socks that i've been siping lately. |
Death from Vertigo. |

4 pm: satin jeans, nikes, plaid shirt, striped shirt, yellow makeup, blue wig. 5:30 pm: satin jeans, nikes, plaid shirt, striped shirt, traces of yellow makeup. 6:30 pm: satin jeans, nikes, plaid shirt, traces of yellow makeup, black eyeliner, red lipstick. 7 pm: satin jeans, nikes, plaid shirt, traces of yellow makeup, black eyeliner, red lipstick, yellow sheet. 7:30 pm: satin jeans, nikes, plaid shirt, traces of yellow makeup, black eyeliner, red lipstick, yellow sheet, broom, sunglasses. 10 pm: traces of yellow makeup, black eyeliner, red lipstick, blue "northwest children's theater and school" t-shirt, blue jeans, grey fleece. the evolution of halloween. |
However, I'll abbrevite: two seconds ago: dark blue oxford shirt which geek boy *loves*, black bra (warners, comfy), black cords, white undies! Now: black silk camisole, black silk boxers. |
for a while i was wearing a sticker (about bumper sticker size, meant for a shoe box) across my chest that said: barney gave me yellow fever. so i ate him. |
|
rumors are flying rampant about the shoe girl with the enourmous blue wig. "see the girl with the blue hair? she wants to hug and kiss you." apparently heather (ready-to-wear) has decided that my name needs a go around the block with an electronics person. |
The party was excellent, several hundred people all in costume. There was a guy dressed as Buddha, with a yellow robe, a red jewel on his forehead, and covered in gold hairspray. Anothe guy went as a sperm bank donor, with a fake penis sticking out of his fly. Too many others to describe. Next year, Mavis and I are going as Princess Slaya and Darth Nader - she dressed up in a Slayer t-shirt, spikes, boots and Princess Leia buns, me in a rumpled grey suit and a Darth Vader mask. We call dibs on this idea. |

The kiddies get to dress up again tomorrow night. The kids are both really into Marilyn Manson. I overheard them talking about how much they wished they could go to the Manson show in Tulsa but couldn't afford it. They didn't know I was listening in on them. The boy said he just didn't feel right asking me for money to go and he didn't know how they were gonna get there anyway. After they went to sleep, my lover got on the phone and scored tickets for them. And one for me, too, since somebody's got to take them there. I got an extra ticket for Crimson just because I wanted some adult company. The kids are excited as hell. The boy's already getting his makeup and wardrobe ready. He'll look more bizarre than anyone on stage, guaranteed. |

I want to touch the roses, count their petals, hold a small ankle bone in my hand, and leap tall junipers on fire, but it is the wrong season. Happy New Year. |
Could somebody please tell me where Sorabji is? I'm stuck at Isoldepezville heh. if only i could post more. whatever DID happen to everyone? |
you know. the usual. Trying to finish "Diamond Age" finally. You? |
Whenever something significant happens there, the soccer announcer from the olympics yells GGGGOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL! |
I was an hour late for work today, too. I have to go back soon. Work is lameness today. I can't play. It was frosty this morning. Somewhere, someone is playing bad music. |
ggggggggggggggggggggooooooooooooooooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaallllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! gggggggggggggggggggggggggoooooooooooooooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaallllllllllllllllllllllllll!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! yes, i remember that. is it stormy in 'llama land? if not, i'm in. in about three weeks it'll be melancholy season from lack of light, but if someone asks me if i hate the rain i'll be "oh no, i love the rain, when sylvies not chasing her tail and digging her claws into my leg at the same time or trying to drink from my glass of milk." see how real life infects my posts? |
I hope so anyway. I hate having to wait around for it with everything all gray, brown and dead. |
|
|
Haven't seen App today. Well, I can see that he's in the dirtyredapartment via his cam, but he was mysteriously absent from Japanese class. |
|
I'm wearing a grey cotton v-neck outfit I bought when I went to NY. It's comfy..I like it. I just woke up and haven't showered yet..my hair is sticking straight up like some crazy white girl afro. Sappho is clawing my leg. I need to go back to bed. |

Took the kiddies (and Crimson and Pug) to the Marilyn Manson show last night. The kids went apeshit. They had a great time. And for once, they weren't the only people dressed like total freaks. My boy got tons of compliments on his outfit, which was mostly made of shiny black vinyl. A black and flamingo pink color scheme. Vivid pink eyeshadow too, with deep mauve frosted lipstick and a light dusting of glitter blush. Alarmingly tight vinyl shorts, a vinyl vest and glitter thigh-high hose with seams running up the back. Black sequin garters too, attached to the shorts. Several girls told him he looked hot as hell.....not that he cares too much about girls, but it was a definite ego boost. Brendan gave me a big hug in the parking lot and thanked me again for taking him to the show. Said it meant a lot to him. |
Today, I am wearing violet cords, a maroon shirt, black shos (as always), and a black corduroy shirt over the shirt because I'm a little cold. It's unbuttoned, though, so you can see the maroon underneath. Must go get a paycheck so I can deal with the phone bill. |
The concert wasn't bad. There were three bands. The second warmup band, Union Underground, worked the audience pretty well. I got interested in watching the crowd reacting to Manson (you don't usually see that much worship going on outside of a church service). I was also interested in the Christian protest groups in the parking lot. They were preaching and handing out pamphlets. Those same pamplets ended up littering the parking lot like confetti, ripped up by pissed off Manson fans. |
i'm listening to tangerine speedo, trying to put off an essay i need to write today. the cutest boys always look good in drag. i am filled with the overwhelming desire to paint a bunch of male fingenails. |
pilate looked good last night. he wore all black clothing. he always looks damn good in black. it matches his hair. |
|
In order to weird out my roommate and her boyfriend, I am in full battle regalia: enneagram, magic wand made of toothpicks and skewers, and upon my head: a thingy. it can only be called a thingy, and nothing else. It is made from brightly-painted egg-shell carton bits attached by a purple yarn. |
|
tonight i'm dying my hair...almost purple! |
|
Color is important. |
a gap t shirt some blue plaid boxers socks some pj pants from a consignment shop crazy hair |
|
|
|
|
my hair! it's like i have jewels coming out of my scalp! the color! [/enthusiasm] |
feeling staid today. Wearing a Mr. Rogers (or Colin Anderson) style sweater. Thin, tan, and just fuzzy enough to make the average hick wonder about my sexual orientation. I also have these pants, and I don't know what to call them. I swear they're made of denim, but they're so incredibly light, that when I bought them, I thought they were slacks. They're "Anchor Bay" I think, and they aren't quite long enough. All of it comes from the local thrift store. I'm also wearing an aura of humility and self-disgust, in the "float" slot, but that's another story altogether. oh. and the enneagram, still. |
|
|
black black day. stupid rain on my holiday. |
|
Never mind about the rain Moonit - the sun will come out tomorrow! |
|
|
and a navy thriftstore worn sweater, my FAVORITE sweater on top... gray banarepub pants, not quite slacks, not quite duckheads, but have a nifty easy access button fly that makes das weiner sehr tempting.... low cut black shit kickers dork black rimmed glasses and a henry miller grin |
i think i'm the only one in town with my nose pierced. that's how they act, anyway. and i've got these wacky 'boat shoes' on that were my grandfather's. my boot were too wet, so i slipped these on. they're laceless navy & white & are either totally WalMart or totally Punk Rock, i can't figger out which. never thot i'd be caught dead in 'em, but i keep thinking a/b that pic of Kurt i saw and he was wearin some like 'em. oh well, whatever. nevermind. |
|
|
|
i found the perfect hat. it's like those vintage "cloche" (bell) hats that women wore in the 20's, 30's. it's black boiled wool w/little balck beads sewn on in groups of three. |
|
what DO you look like heather? oh, and Im wearing one off-white loin cloth that is all |
|
My lover's wearing pajamas right now. I helped him get into them (a somewhat fun exercise in itself). But he's terribly ill and is home from work. I'm out of the house, letting him get some much needed rest. I massaged his hands and feet for a long time because they were cold. I rubbed his back and spent a long time just talking with him and taking care of him. I gave him a bath and tucked him into bed. I'm sick myself and Crimson is really fucking ill. I don't know what she's got, but it's worse than what I've managed to pick up. My kid's in a somewhat depressive mood because his best friend, who's been staying with us, is about to leave. Her parents are coming back for her. He doesn't want her to leave. He's trying to be cool about it but I know it's hard on him. He wishes that Violet could stay with us permanently. She's depressed about it too. I wish I knew what to say to them. |
though. I was very worried about it...It's sad that she has to go, though. I'm not wearing a strap on, either, but I can think of an ass I'd like to ram with a cattleprod. |
Chemical Warfare? If you were to guess what I was wearing at any random moment, and you were to say "T-shirt, Jeans, and white socks" 9 out of ten times you would be correct. The tenth time I would be in my gorilla suit. |
Well, Violet's gone for real. Her folks picked her up. When it came time for her to leave, she started crying, which got Brendan pretty upset. They hugged each other and then she left. Her parents actually seemed moved by the whole thing and said they'd let her come over more. Brendan was pretty sad about her leaving, but I think he'll be all right. Odd thing......while Violet was here, her grades improved. I didn't badger her to study harder. I just hinted to her that while I was teaching Brendan, it would be a good time for her to work on her own homework. Apparently, she did. Her folks asked me what my secret was. I don't have one, I promise. Brendan's studies are going better. We're working on vocabulary right now. He likes that. He also told me the other night that he wanted to learn some fancy words he could use as insults. No problem. If he wants to learn better words than "motherfucker" (although that's a pretty good and useful one), I'll do what I can to help him out. |
|
"DEFCON" across the front with a smileyface and crossbones, an old phone dial, and a floppy disk all embroidered on it. And my cargos. and my little glasses. |
|
my bones ache. i have this deadly fear of athritis, it runs in the family. my joints ache in the cold, i can even smell the cold. my mom says that i'm imiagining it but i can. the cold has a specific smell. warmth doesn't very much, it's too hidden, but the cold, that's out in the open. maybe because the trees don't have leaves anymore. |
Guinness shirt. I'm in Florida, and it is warm. |
black rimmed you know.....sneaks.....not new sneaks. still havent made it to target yet....but i put some inserts and they feel cushy... oh and a big cheeky grin |
I was wearing a guinness shirt yesterday. |
borderline dirty blue jeans, borderline dirty fleece sweatshirt, work boots. no makeup. but I'm showered and have a cute haircut. |
|
http://www.emap.mtu.edu/mdh/Insult.html I'm wearing black jeans, black T shirt, black boots. Black goes with everything. No worries about color coordination or any of that shit. |
need shoes however. going out for lunch with 'drew's pal richard's girlfriend serena. did that make sense? |
I am wearing...blue tailored pants, a short blue jacket and a pink silk shirt. Very dull, but my shoes are cute blue slides with a glass heel. |
I'll be getting some photos back in a couple hours. hope they're good'uns. I'll probably also be taking photos in the nevada desert for christmas cards. I'll be getting out of the office for about a month here pretty soon; that'll be nice. I think. |
DAMN, GINA! |
very businesslike, I'm in the office at work |
|
|
|
excellent. |
"I'm Just One Big Fucking Ray Of Sunshine, Aren't I?" |
|
|
And the feet continue to sweat. I go barefoot whenever I possibly can, but it's been raining here alot, and I think (for now) that I'd rather have sweaty feet and gross socks than a constant cold. |
and the flowers are sort of linen-ish in colour, which gives me an excuse to wear my favourite linen shirt. I feel very Floridan all of a sudden. |
|
|
I have the Shakespere words refrigerator magnet kit. thou hyperbolical foul-nosed parasite thou swaggering whoreson rapscallion thou pestiferous sponge-hearted strumpet (right out of the box) if more authentic constructions are desired, there are websites |
Pestiferious. This has been, without a doubt, a pestiferous day. Indeed, Pestiferous enough to make me glum, even if I'm wearing the grey-gift shirt. I've been noticing how toned down my work clothes are. Everything I wear on the weekdays is grey, tan, or black, even though there isn't remotely a dress code here. I share my office with a guy who hasn't looked outside since the '80s. He wears these great sleeves-torn-out muscle shirts that don't cover his mid-parts, and the puffy, ankle-grabbing MC hammer pants. yeah. |
at least at this hour, i don't have to worry that someone will knock on the door |
I am soon to get ready to go out with some girls. I think I will wear black pants and a black tank top with a blue see-thru shirt and a black jacket and my favourite black boots which really should be thrown out. I got new makeup today so I am going to wear that too. |
|
|
and i've got on my grandpa's 'work boots', LLbean kinda gumsole thingies...waterproof. i feel lik epart of the friggin Dave matthews army, but for the ball cap... comfy tho. laundry this weekend! |

|
|
i'll telk you a secret. Im kinda insecure in them, they are probably a waist size or two too big, so they tend to bunch up, and well they tend to bunch up in the front, exagerrating the package, making it appear almost like aloin cloth in front...and well.......i might as well be wearing a speedo |
|
|
i just didn't want to say all that again hope no one knocks on the door today i'll change before i go out to vote this evening |

here's a very funny photo: http://www.wvec.com/news/local/mcchicken_head.htm black jeans, olive sweater. and at least I still vote democrat and green. |
|
|
superman cartoon indigo baby tee, boy cut indigo jeans, ratty gray button cardigan. oh, and mama culture's messing with my head. |
chicken head. |
|
I only hope that someday I'll find a chicken head in with my mcnuggets. (or chicken wings -- since when does mcdonald's sell chicken wings?) I love that photo. and, please, what health hazard? I mean, that thing was COOKED. how bad would it be for a 5-y-o to bite into a deep-fried chicken head? I once got a fried cockroach in with my fried bananas, and I didn't even send it back. |
I wonder what they use,that makes it so aesthetically appealing? |
|
|
|
|
They're awfully comfy. But silly as hell. |
|
|
i know you might say....ARMANI???? patrick???? yes yes yes i know. it was gift. i have never set foot in an armani store in my life, and would never offer my money ...but the wife likes buying these kinds of things for me. she got the navy, black and tan shirts. they are nice because they are long sleeve and actually almost fit....its hard to find sized medium-long shirts. the sleves almost always are too short, thats why i own stock in plain white tees. italian made clothes tend to favor the long arm thing. |
it goes with everything, you know. |
|
neogothpoop man! in a lot of ways where i live thrives on bringing up the dead....... cockrock, goth, 80s.... you name it. people are silly |
HA! similar to yesterdays garb..... black cords, black sweater (same kind) and a white tee underneath, ankle shit kickers. i swear, im happy i swear |

When I left the house earlier this morning my kid was standing in front of the mirror putting on black glitter lipstick. I asked him where he was going and he said he wasn't going anywhere. But added that he's in a band now so he's gotta get the look down. Brendan and his two friends, none of whom can play very much music, have decided to form a band. The kid knows three chords on guitar and his friends both play a little bit of piano. Voila, they're a band. I'm glad to see him trying his hand at anything new and challenging. So I told him to start rehearsing and if the band is still around at New Year's next year and able to play anything, I'll pay to take them into the studio for a demo. Now all they've gotta learn to do is play their instruments, whichever instruments that might be. They're calling themselves Captain Benteen and the kid has recently been referring to himself as that in the third person ("Captain Benteen suggests that you should lend him a fiver.") |
While I was there, I picked the kid's brain a bit more about the whole Captain Benteen thing. I knew that Captain Benteen was a character in a Twilight Zone episode. Benteen was an anti-hero but Brendan felt sorry for the character. When I asked the kid why, I got a pretty trippy answer. The story in a nutshell: Captain Benteen set himself up as the governor (dictator) of a colony on a remote, hellish planet with two suns. It was a dismal and uncomfortable place. To give his people hope, he kept telling them that they could go back to Earth someday, that a spaceship would rescue them (the Rapture). Then a spaceship from Earth really DID come to take them home. Benteen, who cared for his people and helped them survive for decades on that planet, was deposed almost instantly in favor of the new Earth "gods". Captain Benteen didn't react well to it. He went insane and ended up staying on his hell of a planet alone. He was meant to be portrayed as a pathetic megalomaniac. So my son stands there in the kitchen delivering this amazing sermon on the horrors of being a deposed god. Does a god have power because he was once given some? Do people actually create an "energy form" or entity when they create a god? Where do the deposed gods go? How do men set themselves up as gods and how do they react when they're overthrown? Are we our own gods? Is there a little bit of Captain Benteen in all of us, and if so, is he a demon or a god or a little of both, or just plain human? This, from a kid who dropped out of school and has a hard time writing a single paragraph. It pissed me off so much. What I'm saying is that if ANYBODY had done anything with Brendan when he was young he could be at the head of the class. But now he'll never catch up, no matter how hard he tries (and he's trying really damn hard). I want the best for him but the truth is that a college education is likely beyond him (although I'd NEVER say that to his face). He thinks faster than he can possibly write. He has a quick mind but can't keep up with his peers, or even the average fifth grader. The adoption will be final soon. Very soon. Brendan wants to change his last name to match my own. I don't even deserve such a blessing. I'm so fucking proud of him in every way. |
|
I'm afraid I got a bit lengthy and boring with the above post. It's just that the boy says things sometimes that just amaze me. I get the feeling that he's actually got more on the ball than a lot of the kids who stayed in school. You know, the same kids who like to torment him out on the streets because they didn't drop out and are hence so much better than he is. While watching Brendan trying to form this little band with his buddies, I recall my own youth and how I'd never have been able to do anything like that. I was so shy and out of touch. I'm overjoyed that he's got his two close friends and that they've got the balls to try starting a band, apparently undaunted by the fact that they can't exactly play anything. I'm wearing a pair of gray sweat pants and a dark green t shirt. Crimson is also wearing gray sweats but they're darker. I'm sitting here watching her try to function without caffeine. It's kinda funny. |
|

Pilate, that's the funniest damn shit since Trace shat out that engagement ring into your lap!!!! (Sorry, folx---private joke) Reminds me of my old band days....me & these kids I worked with just up and became a band one day....my guitarist learned to play as we went along (& is now quite brilliant) and I never learned to do much of anything....it was a lot of fun. I do have a rehearsal tape around here somewhere....'88 or '89, I think....me on guitar & my guitarist on drums....pounding out an unearthly pile of racket that makes Sonic Youth sound like the Ray Conniff Singers. Wearing a pale blue jersey and button fly jeans(reasonably clean this time out). Nice pic,btw, back on the other thread, J.... |
|
the funny thing is, i got these jeans so recently, and i haven't been eating much...they fit perfectly when i got them, but yesterday i realized that i can pull them off my butt without unbuttoning/unzipping anything...i'm not sure if it's a good thing or a bad thing. baaaaah. |
Ishmael is wearing grey. now he knows who I am. |
ballet is fun!!!! |
PANTIES!!!!! |
*White tank top *Cotton drawstring pants that are officially "graphite" colored -- kind of inbetween black and brown. *Black sandals that have a loop for my big toes and straps that cross across my foot. *Pale nail polish *My hair is curled and pulled back in a clip with the ends sticking up on top *Small yellow rhinestone earrings *Black eyeliner *Clinique's Happy perfume |
gray banana rep slimster pants. not jeans, not slacks, but linen pants somewhere in between. my hair is a wreck a macintosh red shortsleeve snap up DKNY shirt the wifey got at a sample sale. the shirt and pants work, because the pants are sorta low cut, and the shirt is as well, which display my belt buckle almost perfectly. My belt buckler is very important to me. im wearing gray socks and my black low cut, bulbous toe (needing new heels) shit kickers. commando as usual. a few sprays of CK Be on the way out the door. |
What's your belt buckle got on it? |
its not a solid flat piece its a silver metal oval about 3 3/4" wide and 2"high. inside it is a circle about 2" indiameter. its sorta like the cbs logo minus the "eye" looking thing in the middle. The metal silver is pretty thick. about 1/4-1/2 inch thick. its important for this reason. its looks pretty damn cool. also....when my wife and a very good friend of mine, my best man, and highschool buddy were thrift shopping many years ago, they both raped and pilaged thrift stores (he now has a vintage shop in brooklyn, shes as designer, you can imagine the competition upon entering a thrift store 5 years ago with these two clothes whores). Anyway, they both spy the buckle, she wants it for me, but he beats her to it. He wears it for a year or two, but its always something i give him shit about, because i wanted it. He gives it to me, shortly before my wedding. My belt buckle is important to me. the end |

white Champion ankle socks. White pocket Tshirt. pinky and the brain wrist watch. eye glasses. |
|
i think they smell bad and taste worse. |
|
jockey white underwire. funky smelling but fairly clean blue jeans (re: washed one week ago). "diva smurfette" baby tee. earlier this evening, the costume was changed: black slacks for blue jeans. baby tee inside out. had a band concert. probably my last ever. |
I'm still stuck in that blue and black thing. Altho I have been known to do a bright shirt every so often. I hate the word panties. |
blue tights faded orange (pumpkin/peach-ish) linen A-line miniskirt that I bought second-hand years ago blue thin v-neck sweater from banana republic that I also bought second-hand this fall. it's become my favorite shirt. the only bad thing about it is that it's kind of see-through. you can't see my underwear but when I wear my scapular you can see that through the fabric, which is rather unsettling to me, because what if someone saw the scapular and started thinking lustful thoughts? then it would be the case that this religious item inspired baseness, which is kind of tantalizing now that I think about it okay I'm going to stop my scapular I hate that p-word too. Can't remember what lower underwear I'm wearing, but my bra is this annoying thing that's made of some stiff material, so it pushes me into a weird shape (I'm not pointy by nature) and it feels weird when I move an arm across my chest. It's like I'm wearing a breastplate or something. However, the sweater I'm wearing makes the bra a necessity. Hair down and straight and tucked behind my ears. No jewelery except my ring. No perfume. Eyeliner and Philosophy lip stain. |
hanes cotton socks. nike air-pinch-nate's-foot shoes. i'm going to run the treadmill this morning. so i can run in my underwear. |
|
damn the word "panties" is absolutely titillating. the phoenetics of the first syllable, minus the T...it just sounds dirty. but i suppose boxers or jockeys isnt too sexy either. im simple this morning. borderline too-tight white hanes tee light brown corduroys blue generic tennis shoes belt with said hoopdee buckle no underwear navy blue socks dork glasses a squirt of CK Be dave who would be surprised that you dont like perfumes. im sorry your nose is so square. you must not like incense either. the smell of a perfume that is 2/3 faded, mixed with the natural body scent on the back of a womens neck is priceless. |
maybe we have your weather. muted green/brown vaguely palmtree looking slacker shirt. light khakis tan socks birks. |
i can't imagine it's too sexy, though. i can squeeze a glassfull out of my jockeys by the time i'm done. hm. that's not too pleasant. |

wine red (burgundy?) light but warm long sleeve guy's top. My fav. Goes with both "nice" clothes and good old surplus store pants as well. Shows off the boobs. Great under t-shirts during winter. And all this joy bought at WalMart for $5. ankle length black satin skirt, with same burgundy colour fabric front panel that is layered under black lace. Hard to describe, but I made it myself ;) the usual clunky boots have been replaced in the office by lousy 3 hole docs. My only 'good' shoes. I've had them since '94. Obviously, i never was one of those crazy shoe fetish girls. I own 4 pairs, i think that's still too many. and today i have come to work with no glasses. Yes, for the first time in 3 years the people of the cubicles will see the piercing i've been hiding. I had no choice. The piercing and i, we've been in a bit of a fight lately. It gave me a choice- my glasses go, or it goes. The glasses are worn in the day to cover the piercing. The piercing is much too proud for this. It gets irritated. It threatens to grow out. It drove the ultimatum home last night by starting to bleed for no reason. It's such a fucking bitch, but it's finally won. I offer it my congratulations. oh yeah, and Old Spice makes me antsy as all hell. YUM |
|
"Take my underwear off with your teeth" sounds kinda flat. I hate "pussy". ew. It really makes me feel quite icky. |
|
Stink Wallet, on the other hand, i could do without. |
damn. my piercing argued with a lot of friendlies. that's an old story. |
pussy is ok.....cat have you tried taking off the "y" puss or poooo are little more soft and sweet. |
|
today: gray knee length stretch skirt short sleeved vneck brown tshirt knee-hi red and black striped socks a la wicked witch short black cowboy boots again this man that i work with at the library laughed at me today. i said, "are you laughing at my socks?" and he said, "you don't surprise me anymore, but you still amuse me." i told him that i could live with that. anything to add a little spice to the boring state worker day, for crying out loud. |
welcome back trace and pjboy and petrock! rool! |
I dont like cunt either. Pussy is fine. |
Thank You, Thank You, next show at noon. |
Blue stockings Same blue shoes as yesterday Non-annoying underwear Silver hoop earrings Scapular Happy perfume Eyeliner and lip stain, which I also put on my cheeks to make rosy. I highly recommend lip stain (either Philosophy's The Supernaturals or L'Oreal's) for anyone who hates lipstick but wants some color. |
|
TOday, grey slacks, pinstripe dress shirt, black socks and black dress shoes (I need new low quaters)...... Silver watch (I have a dozen watches, and change them depending on what I am doing and wearing). |
Just stop that or you'll go blind |
and if it wasn't this watch i wouldn't wear one. |
|
now i'm wearing grey jockey boxers and black socks with little tan diamonds. now i'm wearing khaki's and a black knit tshirt. now i'm wearing black buckled slip-ons. |
so a bright yellow v-neck t-shirt and a chain around my ankle. |
today im wearing these brown somewhat baggy slacks/pants. somewhat like UPS worker pants, thriftstore variety. white tee, and an unbuttoned brownish gray bowling shirt. tennis shoes. no underwear as usual and black rimmed dork glasses. semi messy hair. |
My whole point of it though is that every little feminist with her jockey for her white panties clinging real tight gets offended by the word cunt...and my arguement was, that in doing that, you give power to the word as a negative. Use it in positive conotation, take it back as your own..and well..it won't have that same patriarchal meaning. Cuntcunnnycccccccunt. It rolls. |
|
|
|
|
not a judgement, mind you. just how that word is arranged in my head. like twat. that's some people's childhood name. that's a word i didn't learn for a long time. |
|
|
|
I don't know why but I could have sworn she was a dark calico cat........ BTW, my daughter is turning 7 Sunday. And my wife calls it a hoo hoo (when she is being cute), tinkle spot when she is talking to the girls in a clinical manner (you need to wash your tinkle spot or you need to stop touching your tinkle spot in public or close your legs when your are in a dress, i can see your tinkle spot. |
My mom and I never discussed things like that. Hell, when I started my period at age 16 I was frightened to tell her I did..like that meant I was dirty or something. I go through phases with what I call it though. When I'm being cutsey its my coocoo or coochie, I use the word cunt often (although I avoid actually calling someone a cunt--insult to the word), and yet my favvvvvvvvvvorite name.. via Tom Robbins... peachfish. |

from salon by Camile Paglia On to another controversy: Eve Ensler's "The Vagina Monologues, which this column has rejected as a reactionary piece of victim-obsessed paleofeminism. I was delighted to receive a response from one of the leading figures of the sexual revolution, the artist and sexologist Betty Dodson, a foremother of the pro-sex wing of feminism that revived in the 1990s. Dodson agreed with my statement that Ensler is the new Andrea Dworkin: "Eve is the Barbie Doll version of Andrea. It's so very toxic, and no one sees it." She kindly gave permission for me to quote from her review of "The Vagina Monologues," available in full on her Web site. Dodson first saw "The Vagina Monologues" as an off-off-off Broadway play in 1996. She had been told that the author and one-woman performer, Eve Ensler, was mentioning Dodson's pioneering sex workshops. But when she attended the play, Dodson heard only "a distorted view" of what she had been doing in her Bodysex Workshop for over 25 years. Ensler called it "The Vagina Workshop." Dodson insists, "Never in my wildest nightmares would I have ever considered using the word 'vagina.'" Dodson calls "one of the great sexual tragedies in history" Sigmund Freud's theory "that the clitoris is an infantile source of pleasure and that as a woman matures her sexual sensations are transferred to the vagina." From her practical experience as a counselor, Dodson feels that this theory has kept untold numbers of women from becoming orgasmic. Dodson maintains that the clitoris, with its "8,000 nerve endings," is woman's "primary sex organ." After the 1996 performance, Dodson confronted Ensler backstage about never mentioning the word "clitoris." Two years later, Dodson received two complimentary tickets from Ensler for the Ms. Foundation benefit performance of "The Vagina Monologues" at a New York ballroom. Now movie stars were part of the performance. Ensler again mentioned Dodson's name onstage and had also added "clitoris" to the text. But something had gone wrong: The format for "The Vagina Monologues" had dramatically changed. The audience was brought to a delirious high during the first half only to be dashed into hopeless despair during the second half. We were plunged down, drowning in a sea filled with the horrors of sexual violence against women. So what did I expect with the Ms. crew on board? They have never been able to talk about sex without bringing up rape, abuse, beatings, and genital mutilation. It was déjà vu. In the seventies, Ms. had held up publication of my article "Liberating Masturbation" for more than two years, fearing they'd lose subscriptions. Also it was Ms. who supported Woman Against Pornography in the eighties. The idea that feminists were pushing for the censorship of sexual entertainment forced many of us to feel the need to identify ourselves as pro-sex feminists. Now in the nineties they had done it again. "V" no longer stood for vagina. It stood for violence. Sex and violence, never sex and pleasure. Talking about sexual pleasure when there is so much sexual violence against women would be inappropriate, insensitive and politically incorrect. And who is to blame for all the sexual violence against women? According to Ms. and other fundamentalist feminists, it's still the patriarchy.... That night I wondered how men in the audience felt after being nailed as "the enemy." It's my bet that the men attending V-Day were all staunch supporters of equal rights for women. But here they were, faced with the same old male-bashing of the sixties and seventies. It's very difficult to criticize V-Day without sounding anti-woman or pro-violence. Dare we ask why so many feminists think women have cornered the market on being victimized by violence? Will we sound too insensitive in mentioning the violence caused by poverty, hunger, and wars that affect women, men and children of both genders? Are we to ignore all the wives who verbally abuse and dominate husbands? Shall we pretend there are no mothers who all too frequently raise a hand to punish their children? This past February, Dodson attended the V-Day benefit held at New York's Madison Square Garden, where Ensler's monologues were read by 100 women, including stars like Oprah Winfrey, Jane Fonda, Glenn Close, Claire Danes and Marisa Tomei. There was now "big corporate sponsorship," and the play was being performed "in hundreds of colleges and universities here and abroad." Dodson declares: That night at Madison Square Garden I felt violated when I realized "The Vagina Monologues" and V-Day had become a bait and switch operation. The ruse is to get everyone excited about hearing famous women saying the words "vagina," "clitoris," and "cunt," only to bring us down with statistics about rape and the sexual abuse of women ... This powerful venue, Madison Square Garden, sends us home feeling guilty about all the women in Africa, Bosnia and Afghanistan who are being raped, tortured and genitally mutilated. Many leave with the false belief that all the millions raised will actually end sexual violence against women ... .. Eve is no longer the disarming young woman delivering her monologues. She has become an evangelical minister shouting and gesturing and admonishing us to demand an end to violence against women, as the crowd roars in agreement. Toward the end of the evening, Eve asked everyone who'd ever been raped to stand up. There was a smattering of women standing where I was sitting. Then she asked for those women who had been beaten to stand. Many more stood up. Finally she asked all those to stand who knew any woman who'd been raped or beaten, which included most of the audience. I refused to stand as an insignificant protest, knowing she would never ask those of us who had never been raped or beaten and who loved having orgasms to stand. That's the main problem with V-Day. Women end up celebrating sexual violence and not the creative or regenerative pleasures of erotic love. Ending violence is a worthy cause, and I'm all for it. But consistently equating sex with violence offers no solution. \ |
It's down there. Cotton and dicks go into it. Hey mom, please pass the salt. I've never openly discussed the nature of my genitals within the sisterhood of 'womyn'. I've never felt the need to. did i say vagina? i meant slop-gash. |
thank you. |
hey, a girl's gotta accessorize |
"The Homecoming Parade" |
|
|
Thinking about ditching my long-distance service and selling off some musical equipment I don't use at all. I'd go to this financial advisor my co-worker keeps telling me about but I can't afford the price of the consultation. |
|
|
the same old jeans. white bikini. white sports bra. men's white t-shirt. red hooded zipup sweater. jafra "reflections" cologne. and i'm not a feminist. jockey does not make good women's undies. i wear hanes because they're comfy. sexy=comfy all the way. how can a girl act sexy if she's got a perma-wedgie from fer thong riding up her ass? i can hardly act sexy even when i'm most comfy. maybe because i'm young. dweeeeeeee. |
blue boxers. i'm cleaning. exciting! |
a new short sleeve shirt with buttons I bought from Meijer. Gray-green slacks. Gray socks. Doctor Scholl's shoes. Fruit of the Loom boxer briefs. I am wearing this ensemble on a sunday afternoon because I just came back from joining a dating service. It is looking like the best option for me to meet ladies right now, and I really like their system, plus they went out of their way to help me, too. More on this as it develops. |
its cold.. |
|
|
Knee-length skirt that's twirly (i.e., not a-line) that's reddish-pink with pink polka-dots. Cute. White shoes that look like Dutch clogs in the toe The face is the usual, except with a little white eyeshadow today. Hair down. |
"Oh My God They Killed Kenny" t-shirt Adidas beach sandals with the little pointy things in the soles. I feel like ass today. Sore throat, no energy, alternating between freezing and burning up. Sucks being sick. |
|
Last night the moon looked amazing. It had this huge ring around it which apparently means bad weather is coming. Today comfy worn light blue bootlegs, black socks, undies and bra, white t-shirt, bright pinkish jersey with tassels off the sleeves (3/4). Cute and furry. |
well, here at least, that's what it means. |
|
i would like financial advice. i'm wearing a necklace i made many years ago with tiny black and silver beads; the pendant is a gorgeous black and white seashell i found. also the sombrero bracelet i scored in austin, bra, black v-neck t-shirt, short grey skirt, black payless mules, purple speckly toenailpolish. i finally can fit back into my size 6 jeans, meaning i can get them on and zipped up - they are fine in the waist but still much too tight in the ass and thighs, which is just no okay with me at all. tomorrow i'm supposed to quit my job and the reality of all of this is just starting to hit, moving sales, packing, shipping, goodbyes, and i'm pissed off about something though i'm not entirely sure what and fuckity fuck fuck it was a weird week. |
|
i can't now i've ingested narcotics and will be sleeping momentarily. i'll be wearing my abdominal brace. i cut a little stitch that i found poking out my belly button this morning. creepy. i'll write more tomorrow after i actually go and do the actual quitting part. which i'm not sure how quite to do something like that. i'll wing it, unless someone has some suggestions. goodnight. happy drugs. |
|
|
|
I do everything wrong. |
thank you agatha. |
Today I asked her if she wanted me to freelance part time on the one part of the job they actually need me for (about five or so hours a week). She said yes please. So that will pay some bills. Yay. |
|
agatha stop spanking yourself with the newspaper after your posts. don't benchmark by anyone else. i got used to feeling stupid a long time ago, its no so bad. |
|
|
can you tell my boss is sick today? |
|
|
So, for Patrick's elucidation, dating service. I joined one. Going in Saturday for photos and videos. The way it works is you go through the library of members, pick out the ones you want to meet and fill out some card. Then the service contacts them for you, telling them some one has picked them out. The person then comes in and reviews your profile, looks at your video, and so on, and they can decide whether |
|
furthermore, why do i have trouble doing business with a a store named "The Pink Zone"? |
|
|
|
moonit, why did you quit? and why did you cry? |
|
|
|
|
pink is my favorite color. does anyone know anything about tattoo removal? |
according to my friend Melis. I quit because half the time I didn't get paid, and I was annoyed with the direction the company was heading - the screaming matches between my bosses and the financial controller guy - theres an 'out of the frying pan into the fire thread' that I ramble on in. I cried because I've known these people for 10 odd years, and because I enjoyed working there. Although it will make things a bit less 'i need space' with me and the boy. (he worked there too along with my mumma). |
what the hell is the Pink Zone? Cheetos Chrunchy are yummy. So is Rufus Wainwright's new cd, and so is he. Got into a rather intense discussion/confesion session with the s.o. a few days ago. i told him he has an internet problem. He told me i have one too. i told him he spends too much time on certain message boards. He told me i spend too much time on this one. i've never even spoken about this place to another human. i just stared at him and... bah, nevermind. I'm sick of thinking of it. all is well though, rest assured, i remain in love. and what i'm wearing is of no importance. |
i was just looking at a review of the new Rufus cd, and he is a very attractive man. The fact remains i have a better shot at him that you do there missy. |
at the show he had on tight red flare pants and a leather vest with nothing underneath. 'Want' rose off the crowd thick as the cigarette smoke. Much like crimson & the delivery man, I thought my gay guy pal was going to have a stroke. It was funny. And ever so painful. Zang boy, ZANG |
The shirt isn't as bad as it sounds. honest. |
Light blue cotton pajama bottoms that I sleep in. Plain long-sleeved black cotton shirt that I sleep in. Old black shoes that I described way up there somewhere. No makeup. I washed my pajamas last night and wore something else to bed, so they're not skanky. I knew I was going to come to work dang early this morning (7:45!) so I wanted to be comfy today. I'm really tired. Tom, are you a new Tom or our old Tom? |
hideous bright blue nomeansno tshirt (dave's) loose black cotton pajama pants with cat hair all over them fluffy black slippers crap in my eyes i called in sick today to take cleo on a tour of the neighborhood school. i'm the worst liar, when i called, this woman patty that i work with was expressing concern for cleo and i said, "she's not really sick, i just have to take her somewhere." doh. |
black socks, and red stripped thong panties. |
yeah, it's nearly noon. yeah, i'm still in my jammies. sue me. really, i'll get dressed sometime today. |
i'm wearing an aura of anticipation. |
i'm going to spend $100 on a skirt. it has cowgirls on it, who are wearing 10 gallon cowboy hats and riding horses and slinging a lasso. that's what i'm saying. |
|
|
Brown socks Tan Dockers Red Flannel Shirt Note to self: It's really stupid to wear a flannel shirt in summer. |
told you i'd get dressed today. |
ye olde surplus pants unmatching socks for Costco and hatred for the ex. i was rudely reminded of his existence today and it upset me so, i went out and bought smokes to compensate. Sad 'cause i really only needed one. In general i'm doing okay with this quitting thing. No really, i am. |
|
White sox. Faded Levi's. And, my favorite Tee shirt that says "I've used up all of my Sick Day's so I'm calling in Dead!" Today it's more truthfull than usual. |
it all can be good at least for a while face piles of trials with miles of smiles have a nice day y'all :0) |
khakies comforatable shoes. But of course, I had my picture taken today. |
slippers the mrs. got me in chinatown..a stinky white tee. i think i'll go have a BH, it is early |
and cranberry juice. and a shitload of antibiotics. today i am truly a woman, for i have my first urine infection. A nasty one at that. Nasty enough for me to drive to the hospital at 4am. A stunning end to a stunning week, and the day isn't even over yet. |
I've got duck pj's on and thick red socks. It snowed last night and its -1. There isnt very much snow tho, not even enough to cover the grass. |
i miss snow. I really, really miss it. grey dress pants, tight black top with silvery flower vines all over, black blouse overtop. someobodys got a case of the mondays |

not a nostril pimple, is it? god i hate those. |
You don't see trailers, do you? (Am I using the right word? Do you know what I mean?) |
|
the tracers are like my vision isn't refreshing in my mind. slow eye. things don't disappear right away after they've moved. i think i have some degree of vision distortion at all time. i don't really pay attention to it. it's been over five years since it started. when i think about it, it's definitely there. mostly i see a faint mist. like faded television static. movement. i see movement in patterns. the walls of my office. the carpet. patterns reveal their own electricity. i see auras around people. more so in people who are talking, especially over periods of time. i see white flames raise off their heads, and blue and gold and green light around their torsos. different people, different intensity and colors. i was angry at the universe at first. angry at myself for fucking myself up. depressed. it passed. i'm used to it now. it has been a good trade. i'm happy with my choices. i hope this is what you were talking about. i babbled about something. |
i was wondering if you think you might be color blind? but this doesnt sound like color blindness. |
Sounds pretty scary to me, but what nate described sounds lovely. i'm wearing a long black skirt with tiny white flowers on it that i picked up at Goodwill, black socks, purple bra, blue undies, black blouse, silver skull neclace (hidden), fake cheese and sweat. yum i need more hair dye the weather is hideous. |
it can be lovely, i suppose. i don't mind the aura bits, though they can be distracting. the poem about monet declining the operation helped me a lot. strange. it's important to be who you are instead of fretting about what you're not. driving at night when really tired sometimes takes a shitload of concentration. that's the only real negative i think. maybe i'm not thinking about negatives. too much psychedelia in too short a time, i guess. i know people who have done way more and come out with way less. i don't think i'm color blind. i don't have trouble distinguishing colors, though sometimes i have trouble connecting names to colors. i'm probably just stupid. |
a snazzy new lightblue/white paisley polyester shirt. its the total 60s photographer-dad-with his-twin-lense-reflex-camera look. wearing unbuttoned with a white tee, brown thriftstore "work" pants. low cut shit kickers. brown socks. |

at least, part of it. |

last june I wrote this introductory paragraph: this is the version for you. I would love to write a thorough treatment of last night, but I don’t have time. and who could I tell? not a single person. I bet even with this – to you, whom I traditionally have been able to and have wanted to tell the most (and I so don’t want that feeling to disappear, I mean even without all that other stuff, just the wanting to tell, that is what is so dear to me about us, and I am terrified not of losing my crush on you, not of your losing your crush on me, not of seeing you or not seeing you here, but of not having anything to say to you, because, while I’m sure I’ll know other smart people and I’ll meet other guys who’ll inspire longing and I’ll have friends who will share my appreciation for rare filet mignon or whatever, there is no one else with whom I share the ambivalence, and it’s so much more poignant (did you once tell me you hated that word?) in you than in me because for me there is no counterlife, the one in which the generic you go around doing whatever and going wherever you want without any regard to others’ (and your own) feelings and attachments and commitments) , I think -- I’ll end up saying nothing at all. it’ll be about me instead of the others so it will be dull. it was one of those nights when no one even came close to saying what they were really thinking (maybe that’s like every night), and not only did I get to closely observe others’ hope and despair, I got all the great spanish food that everyone else was too nervous to eat. apparently I was wearing a leather miniskirt: “this is so short,” she told me. “how can you wear this?” “it is not short,” I told her. “why does everyone say that it’s short? it’s not my fault that the knee-length skirt will just not go away and leave us the fuck alone. leather doesn’t have to follow those rules. if it were short, it would look bad one me, and it does not look bad on me.” I don't remember what I wore on june 15, 1999, but this is what I had to say: june 15, 1999 hubert humphrey. I'm hungry and want to order cheap ukrainian pizza, but the nice guy from portland I interviewed once who runs the american pizza place is here working on an ad. I'll have to wait until he leaves. a couple weeks ago I interviewed an american woman who's working on a coffee-table book about ukraine. she was in the first group of peace corps workers here, back in 1992. she invited me to go on a picnic at the tatar cemetery sunday, and the place was beautiful. high up on a hill, overlooking the dnipro river and an industrial section of the city. I brought my friend who just got back from moldova along. she brought her hippie work partner, who sort of looks like nicolas cage and whom I sort of find attractive, and a chick ex-peace corps friend with a texas accent. she had told me to bring "something to munch on," so I brought some of the pepperoni I bought in barcelona. I forgot to make the peace corps/vegetarian connection. duh. there we met up with her artist friend yuri, and he invited us back to his place for "some tea." he put on some bob marley and I leafed through his "1,001 nudes" book. when tea was ready, I went into the kitchen and admired the tile work he and his wife had done. they took a bunch of sample tiles that his artist friends had used to experiment with color and lined the kitchen walls with them. this beautiful work was incongruous with the rest of the soviet-era flat but it did brighten up that one room. I failed to make another obvious connection. peace corps - vegetarians - hippies - artists - bob marley - tea. yuri completed the picture and started rolling joints. I hadn't gotten stoned since that time I went to eurodisney in february and I'd completely forgotten how much I like to. kiev was a fascinating place that night. except yuri's english wasn't good enough for stoned speech, and he and the former peace corps people were all ukrainian-language militants. so conversation would turn from english not to russian but ukrainian, which I found I could hardly understand any of. then I would obnoxiously turn things back to english, and we discussed the fall presidential election and whether rukh party leader chornovil's recent highway death was really an accident. on the way home my friend and I tried to remember who the american democratic candidate for president was in 1968. "all I can remember is that he's from minnesota," I said. all he knew was that he was a union supporter and that his father had voted for him. I wanted to look it up at home, but I have no reference books here. I fell into a troubled sleep and awoke soon after at 4 a.m., with the sun already shining bright and hot. |
last june I wrote this introductory paragraph: this is the version for you. I would love to write a thorough treatment of last night, but I don’t have time. and who could I tell? not a single person. I bet even with this – to you, whom I traditionally have been able to and have wanted to tell the most (and I so don’t want that feeling to disappear, I mean even without all that other stuff, just the wanting to tell, that is what is so dear to me about us, and I am terrified not of losing my crush on you, not of your losing your crush on me, not of seeing you or not seeing you here, but of not having anything to say to you, because, while I’m sure I’ll know other smart people and I’ll meet other guys who’ll inspire longing and I’ll have friends who will share my appreciation for rare filet mignon or whatever, there is no one else with whom I share the ambivalence, and it’s so much more poignant (did you once tell me you hated that word?) in you than in me because for me there is no counterlife, the one in which the generic you go around doing whatever and going wherever you want without any regard to others’ (and your own) feelings and attachments and commitments) , I think -- I’ll end up saying nothing at all. it’ll be about me instead of the others so it will be dull. it was one of those nights when no one even came close to saying what they were really thinking (maybe that’s like every night), and not only did I get to closely observe others’ hope and despair, I got all the great spanish food that everyone else was too nervous to eat. apparently I was wearing a leather miniskirt: “this is so short,” she told me. “how can you wear this?” “it is not short,” I told her. “why does everyone say that it’s short? it’s not my fault that the knee-length skirt will just not go away and leave us the fuck alone. leather doesn’t have to follow those rules. if it were short, it would look bad one me, and it does not look bad on me.” I don't remember what I wore on june 15, 1999, but this is what I had to say: june 15, 1999 hubert humphrey.

I am trying to upgrade my wardrobe a but, especially now that I have to worry about a dress code and don't want to keep laundrying the same clothes every week. |

I'm wearing black sandals, brown/black drawstring pants, a funny polyester shirt from the 1970s that has a cream background / burnt orange grid pattern / light orange sunflowers / and random rows of black dots, my watch, new rings, white eyeshadow with black eyeliner, chipping gold sparkly nail polish (it was applied in the store on a whim last week), and silver hoop earrings. |
i'm wearing a royal blue dkny long sleeve button up, light (fabric) black slacks, shiny black buckle shoes. offsite meeting today. |
its wrong to call flips flops thongs. thongs belong up in there, not out on there. |
what's that? oh, here comes someone wearing flip flops. plip plap plip plap. |
|
|
Reading all this reminded me that my gf, who's off in Cali on vacation, told me she'd been underwear shopping. Mmm. Can't wait to see what she bought. Earlier, was carhart shorts, dark green, my ABQ tee shirt, and my fancy sandals. Took the pup for a long walk today, that felt good, but damn hot. Oh, Agatha, that reminds me, I never did thank you for mentioning Soba's passing on your blog. Damn, so much has happened since then, and I've hardly been here, let alone posting. Seems all topsy turvy compared to just the beginning of April. |
i sleep with her clothes when shes gone. i showered last night. washed my hair. its fluffy. when i sleep on washed hair i wake up super fluffy. i havent shaved in days. need blades. supper slack is how i look. today its faded love and rockets shirt. tomorrow its her faded cure 'head on the door' shirt. |
Incidentally, I'm home from work. I did something terrible to my wrist this weekend, and am having a heck of a time typing. Every time I use my right thumb, a stab of pain shoots up my arm. I'm old, and falling apart. Waaah. |
My hair is pretty flat today, and my skin has decided to do that weird papery-look thing it does sometimes. I need to drink more water. |
I love Danskos. Two of my favourite pairs of shoes are Danskos. |
I have on a long red jersey, a black vest, black pants and my big stomping clown boots. Plus cute girly pigtales |
Other then that I'm wearing a black under tshirt, and over that a long sleeve tan colored hemp shirt. I don't really get cold ever, I just felt like being super warm today. |
|
|
|
Gonna change in a couple minutes. Button fly jeans and a "Diva Smurfette" tshirt. Time to write. |
|
I need to do laundry. |
Under that I have a black camisole. Black wool dress pants (very lightweight) whose cut of leg I really like. Black socks. Black Danskos. |
|
navy pants. unknown fabric. thriftstore chic. black OneStars. thick, heavy duty grey socks. and a scarf made of loneliness. punch me at will. |
|
|
its still cold |
green fleece gray t-shirt from marching band: on the front it says "FLUTES & PICCS '99" and on the back is a picture of a smiling stick figure in a shako with a flute kicking the ass of a frowning stick figure in a shako with a trumpet, and says "HOW FLUTES AND PICCS GET THEIR KICKS" purple wool socks birkenstocks |
Oatmeal colored t-shirt: Audubon Society of Portland Birdathon 2001 with a loon on it. Red zip-front hooded sweater with YOU and heart w/wings buttons. Button-fly flares. Navy Cons with the tops rolled down. |
* greyish-browinish-purplish corduroys * white socks with periwinkle trim around the ankle and a little puffball on the heel * black Simple mary-jane-type shoes. Perhaps the very same shoes that I wore when I made the posts way up at the top of this thread -- they're just about worn out, and I can't bear to get rid of them since the style is no longer produced. |
express hip-hugging jeans, boot-cut black sleeveless shirt under a black hooded zip-up cardigan p.s. i bet you look adorable today spider |

HOW TO DETECT A 2-WAY MIRROR: When we visit toilets, bathrooms, hotel rooms, changing rooms, etc., how many of you know for sure that the seemingly ordinary mirror hanging on the wall is a real mirror, or actually a 2-way mirror? (I.e., they can see you, but you can't see them.) There have been many cases of people installing 2-way mirrors in female changing rooms. It is very difficult to positively identify the surface by just looking at it. So, how do we determine any amount of certainty what type of mirror we are looking at? Just conduct this simple test: Place the tip of your fingernail against the reflective surface and IF there is a GAP between your fingernail and the image of the nail, then it is a GENUINE mirror. However, if your fingernail DIRECTLY TOUCHES the image of your nail, then BEWARE, FOR IT IS A 2-WAY MIRROR! So remember, every time you see a mirror, do the "fingernail test." It doesn't cost you anything. It is simple to do, and it might save you from getting visually raped!" |
im wearing jeans, a wife beater and a black short sleeve mille nico 'camp shirt'. the shirt is being worn open. black one stars, black socks. its going to be 85 degrees here. |
from snopes.com: On a first-surface mirror, anything you put up against it will touch its reflection because the reflective part of mirror is laid in right at the surface. On a second-surface mirror, touching it will result in gap between object and reflection because a layer of clear glass has been incorporated over the reflective part of the mirror to better protect it. First-surface looking glasses are more expensive than second-surface ones, so you won't encounter as many in your travels as you will those of the cheaper variety. They're used in fine optical instruments where a protective layer of glass would interfere with the path of light or where an extra degree of precision is called for. There may be peeping Toms out there, but this test isn't going to catch any of them. At its best, it's useless; at its worst, it's going to get someone arrested for property damage resulting from tossing a chair through a perfectly normal mirror. |
|
most two way glass is normal glass with a reflective veneer over it, IE the "mirror shades" highway patrolmen are reputed to wear. However, the cheap mirrors are also like that, so you do make a point about property damage. |
I would think a much more effective test would be to rap on the mirror to see if it sounds like you are rapping on a window. |
I like Patrick's idea and just dance for them... |
|
black slacks blue pin strip shirt grey socks black shoes |
longsleeve green army thermal underwear shirt (comfy! warm!) faded ancient nirvana shirt with a spiral map of hell on the front and "satan worshippin' mother fucker" on the back. i must preserve this shirt. For the future. it's so warm out. like spring. |
|
|
|
White long-sleeve buttondown, black satin jeans, black belt (No belt normally, but the top button came off and the safety pin I use to hold them close doesn't always do the job) and black docs. Work clothes. Which I wouldn't mind wearing except for the fact that they're my work clothes. |
four stainless steel earrings, but I always wear those. |
|
this morning i baked a chocolate cherry polenta cake for my boss. he's gonna flip. |
|
I really like the red/white/black combination. (Those were sacred colors to the Celts, did you know?) I think I like red/white/grey better. I'm also wearing a thin beaten silver w/ tiny sapphires ring ($12) on my left ring finger, and a thicker, good quality silver ring on my right ring finger that has "VIRTUTEM FORMA DECORAT" inscribed on it. Picture. |
Four captive bead rings (ears) one stud (left ear) one more captive bead ring (lip) A wierd little ring I've had forever and ever with a little blue stone in it, and my grandfather's Rolex. |
its amazing here, weather wise. we have a high pressure santa ana condition, which essentially warms everything, makes the place feel like a desert, clears the sky to no end, creates wispy cloud effects....its so fuckin strange but its oddly beautiful. hardly typical november weather though. |
|
i'm wearing pride. and more camo pants, but never mind that. i hadn't done any artwork in months, so the boy demanded a finished piece by the end of the day, because he knows i love to paint for him. So i whipped this baby off in like, 4 hours. With very little planning. And it turned out. if the stupid link doesn't work: http://www.geocities.com/heksebarn/cardart/squangl.jpg (sorry Hal) it's bigger than the scanner, so that image is cut off. content that i've not lost the ability to create, i'm wearing pink socks. My pink happy socks. I'm gonna make it afterall. |
|
|
|
I'm also wearing jeans, a lime-green shirt, and a bright red zip-up cardigan that's too big for me. |
|
|
|
what does it look like? p.s. thank you. he flies! |
|
* a plain navy blue cotton long-sleeved shirt * light blue soft cotton chino-type pants * tan sandals (it's supposed to be 80+ degrees today) Remember that extra 20 lbs. I found I had gained in the fall? All gone, as of this morning. Yay! Now, I have to lose the original extra 20 lbs. Then I'll be sizzling hot. ;) |
We don't have any water right now. I don't know why, but we don't. So I am sitting around in my baby doll nightie and a thong. The fabric is see thru, so here's hoping no one is looking in our windows. |
|
My morning hair looks good this morning. I have the whole Bride of Frankenstein thing going on. I feel sexy. |
|
spider, congrats on losing the 20 lbs!! did low-carb do it for you? i can't donate blood either. too low blood pressure and bradycardia. |
im wearing CK boxers, a wife beater underneath a thin standard white button up short sleeve shirt. im wearing my shitkickers with holes in the bottoms. |
I am now wearing navy blue sweat pants and a heather grey tank top, barefoot, dirty feet. |
I can't give blood because of tachycardia. I'm fine now, but the needles make me nervous, hence, a heartbeat of 140+ bpm. It sucks, because I have O+ blood and could help a lot of people, if I weren't such a weenie. |
did you increase your exercise at all? how hard was/is it for you not to eat sugar and starchy foods? i need to know more! |
I'm still slacking off exercise-wise, but just by watching my carb intake (meaning, I would allow myself a tiny amount of chocolate or fruit as long as my daily carb total was around 20 grams), I lost 7 pounds since April 1. I wasn't all that strict, either, so if I went a little over 20, I didn't care. And actually, one day last week, I ate an entire Godiva milk chocolate bar. I plan on joining my aerobics class in earnest on Monday (it meets 3x a week), and I'll see if that speeds up the weight loss any further. Technically, I don't care what I weigh, as long as I can fit into size 8 pants. Based on what I weighed when I was 16 and a size 10, I probably have to lose about 15 more lbs to get to size 8. I'm at 156 and a size 12 now. |
Well, at first, I was hard-core no sugar, no starch. I went through that moment of Zen for a couple weeks, and then I totally weakened. It was extremely hard for me to control myself. I was miserable. But like I said, now I allow myself to have a small amount of forbidden foods, and that helps stave off cravings. Last night, I had a tuna fish sandwich on one piece of bread (10 g carbs). With that chocolate bar, though, I learned something -- I cannot moderate my chocolate intake. I just can't. If I have one bite, I have to have the whole thing. So when I crave sugar, I should stick to fruit (berries are my favorite *and* they're the lowest in carbs of all fruit -- perfect!). |
well, good for you! i think it's totally reasonable and healthy for you to indulge every once in a while as long as the rest of the time you're taking care of yourself and watching your carb intake. everything in moderation*. i bet you feel great. * i've NEVER been able to practice moderation in any regard, but i think hard about it, and that must count for something. |
I'm just fed up with going into a store and not being able to buy the clothes I want because I know they'll look silly on me. That's my motivation. One day, I will wear something delicate and pull it off -- this is my vow. |
|
|
Plus, I usually feel like this at this time of the month. |
well, if it makes you feel any better, at 145 and a size 6 i *still* can't wear anything delicate and pull it off. especially cute, delicate little sleeveless dresses... those are the worst on me. my biceps, shoulders, and triceps are huge and bulge out in contrast, and i look like a fucking freak. also, i want to kill anybody who actually can take one bite of a chocolate bar and leave the rest for later. that's just NOT RIGHT. i say, if you're gonna go for it, just go for it. damn. |
spring has hit my house too spider but that kinda scares me right now. |
I'm wearing: (1) Bright blue 3/4 sleeve cardigan (1) Tinker Bell V-neck sleeveless Tee (1) Blue bra (1) Pair indigo button-fly jeans (1) Pair white sport socks, grey heel and toe , red seams (1) Pair white bikini undies (1) Bike chain on left wrist (1) Pair small silvery hoop earrings (1) Silvery "Diva" necklace (2) Blue glitter butterfly barettes (2) Purple glitter butterfly barettes I had my navy hi-tops on earlier but Iwas organizing my music and my feet fell asleep so they're off now. |
striped pants from express part II (a little more subdued than the ones I mentioned on another thread), a strong bad teeshirt, a black bra, and a type of underwear I've never worn before that is driving me crazy....argh!!! |
|
anyway, she had some pants from express that were indeed total ass candy....agreed. is strong bad a cartoon outside of that site that sem posted or were you so thrilled with that site you had to order kazoo? today, im wearing brown gap cords. commando. black socks. black shit kickers. wife beater and a grey mille nico sweater atop. it was one of those mornings where i forgot to put on deodorant and the sweater was probably a bit prudent today but i was rushed and im not sure they will appreciate the wife beater in the office so im kinda fucked. |
The only thongs I will wear now are cotton, cuz you don't feel it when they crawl up your ass!!!!! |
oh is *that* the trick to thongs? fuck, i wish someone would have told me that a long time ago. |
|
|
|
|
Update: blue and white and blue and green and black striped bikini undies, blue sketchers, white socks. Express makes my favorite panties too, so comfy and they are same for same price with the ones I buy from victoria's secret (5/$19.50) Don't listen to a word eri says, cotton thongs are just as irritating...I only put it on because it was coming off within a few hours anyway and that is all I am going to say about that. |
sem's in town! hootie tootie. |
hm. someone works in the gay porn industry. |
i'll wear them all and send you a 'days of nate's ass' photo collage. hm. perhaps that is stepping over some sort of line. |
Thongs aren't that bad. Sure, they ride up the ass (therefore nessitating tights when underneath leotards) but once they do they stay there. No movement of ass-fabric. They can be a pain while wearing jeans, you get pocket marks on yer cheeks.... One mysterious boy once said to me "I'm so glad you're not wearing a thong." I don't know why. I haven't worn once since then, but I haven't been wearing them for a while before that either. |
I'm also wearing a black Jerry Springer t-shirt. I know you're jealous. It has the classic blue logo (from when it was still a watchable show) and says "everybodys talkin' Jerry Springer!" |
|
utilize agatha's printing skillz and voila, we have a sorabji, 2004, daily calendar, 365 images of nate's ass, perhaps satiating the ass fixation around here once and for all. i hope that doesnt sound really gay. |
|
Wow. Complete with full-moon-over-famous-scenes shots? |
Black miracle bra. Red and black polka dot socks. Black satin jeans, cuffed to my knees. Black peasant shirt (see my chest! see my chest! put my bra up to the test!). Eyepatch. Red bandana. Hand-woven belt. High heeled granny boots. ...and the crowning touch... One eye (the right) made up with mascara, eyeliner and shadow, the other with a red lipstick line above and below accented by black eyeliner. I did not win the trophy for best pirate costume. Arrr. |
Did the winner have a peg leg? |
The winning pirate had a monkey. He was the monkey pirate. |
|
|
anybody know where i can find a great cocktail dress, appropriate for both a wedding and a cocktail party? |
One of my housemates wore her elf costume with a headwrap and she looked good. She actually made it to the final round. |
|
i bought three actually. one black, two red. one red is ankle length. the other i'll wear the wedding. the ankle length i'll wear to Dr. Ass's house warming cocktail sit down dinner partyl. or maybe the black lauren. thank god for Ross Dress For Less! secret helper! |
I went thrift store shopping and found the coolest tops and a new skirt, oh, and a dress. Now the only question is what to wear to the interview tomorrow. We also got Spunky some more shirts and ties for work and some new shoes (from Burlington Coat Factory). It was actually kinda fun to do that shopping. |
hm. wonder what happened to that strung out surfer girl who cut her hair with fabric shears and often forgot to wear shoes to work. i hope to find her when i go back to visit in 24 days. but who's counting. |
I love that feeling. I can look at something and know if it will fit. My capris....size 6. Didn't try them on, just bought them. After I got home and tried them on a perfect fit. My new skirt for working a size 1 (woo hoo) and got home, tried it on, perfect fit. I love going to the store, looking at something and just picking out the one that will fit, cuz for once in my life I can always find something that will fit. |
|
no susie's in texas. dammit. i could not believe how many amazing dresses they had at Ross. i literally pulled about 20 into the dressing room. 20! how many stores can you go into and find 20 anythings that you think are pretty and want to bother to try on?! that's just absurdly unrealistic. i only tried on about 15 of them. i had to stop short because i had already found four (back down to size 8 - whoo hoo!) and had trouble limiting myself. and you're right, there's little in life that's more satisfying than something that fits perfectly right off the rack. all 3 dresses i got are the perfect length, one perfect to my ankles, one perfect to the knee, one perfect above the knee. they don't pull or pucker anywhere. and they're all different but all flattering. the ankle length one has some incredible stitching and bead work on it. 20 fucking dollars. only 50 for the lauren. my god my god. |
Too bad I couldn't have you drop by to try it on :) I bet it would look cute on you. |
All my other clothes (well, most anyway, except my work clothes) are dirty. |
eri, you rock, thanks! the only problem is that i am big chested (and i don't necessarily mean big boobs, i just mean i have a very broad, muscular chest and back which adds circumference)whereas you are not, so sometimes i have trouble w/ sundresses depending on the cut. but please save it for me for the day when i finally make it down to SA for a visit! |
Have fun at the wedding, and the reunion and all. |
Little kids in stores run up to me and go "Mommy mommy that lady has a SailorMoon shirt! I want one! where did you get it??!!" And i'll tell them i got it 6 or 7 years before they were born. |
|
|
|
And we all know that Eri doesn't discuss her sex life here, cuz it will give Patrick the willies :) |
|
|
|
|
|
|
hot damn. and eri, its not YOU and sex that give me the heebeegeebee's. Its the idea of your hus.....see? I can't even say it. Anyway... 34 Cel V2? that aint shit. bunch of pansy euros. i've been seeing that "Europe is Sweltering!" Millions of pastey white Euros are melting in 93F weather. |
We had the hottest day of the year here yesterday and it is only supposed to get hotter. This weekend is supposed to be bad, and our pools aren't open yet, but they have been working on them, I checked yesterday, so hopefully the water won't be soooooooo warm that it defeats the purpose of swimming in the first place. |
|
is that possible? damn new earrings.... |
and yes, im a butch lesbian. your pin point accuracy for detail is astounding. if you can cured me of it i will indeeded be on bended kneeds |
|
|
|
self control much? arrested development much? dude(ette?), at this point you don't even have to say anything. hit the space bar a couple times, identify yourself®, and your point is made. homogenized, you be. |
it's a growth opportunity. for someone. don't ask me who. love, cheesebreath |
|
my intolerance grows daily. as my personal comfort diminishes, irritants are amplified. my apologies to those affected by it. |
either way -- over my head. |

doh! a beer! I want a beer. . . ray, the guy who buys me beer. me, the guy whom ray buys beer. . . far, the way to go for beer. so, i think i'll have a beer, la, la la la la la la. tea? no thanks, i'll have a beer. . . and that brings us back to doh! doh! doh! |

I haven't drank since Wednesday, I might tonight during Zoobomb. I am wearing a black t-shirt that says "Put the fun between your legs" with a picture of a bicycle on it. Amoung other things. Under which I am nude. |
|
Earlier at work I was wearing brown carpenter cords, a black support tank top (too hot for a bra) and a wrap shirt over it so I didn't traumatize customers. And green underwear with little geishas on them. And under all that I was nude. It is too fucking hot. Eri your outfit sounds really cute. |
By Hal on Sunday, August 10, 2003 - 07:38 pm: eri,i would rather have a full bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotamy. That wasn't your good old buddy, and ass hat extream, me.... It was this fuck wad of an imposter. God damned sons of holy cracker assed mother mary dog sucking sons of bitches, don't know how to get their own freakin identity any more. |
Thanks Platypus. This is my a-typical housewife wear. The white tank top is a midriff top, and the shorts have little paint stains all over them. It might have been cute, but I have worn this stuff to death. I really need to get my tattoo on my belly button!!!! Then it wouldn't be so bad that my tank top showed off my belly, cuz everyone would notice the tattoo instead!!! |
I'm wearing tattered green boxers. |
Tomorrow I'm wearing a formal dress and carting my karaoke machine to kickball. Hal, you don't have to say that your other personalities aren't you, we know all about them and they're not imposters. I make no sense. |
i go out walkin after midnight out in the moonlight.... |

Let alone dial-up. Once you go broadband, you never go back. eri, as for where the small insults to my imposters character are coming, for the last few days I have had this feeling like I've snorted a bunch of ajax or something. I've been bouncing off the walls, and can't sleep for shit. Haven't eaten much, been forcing myself to eat, and the only intake of any kind of influincing chemical has been caffieine. Haven't even smoked a cig in the last few days, just didn't feel like it. Don't know what the hell is going on. Right now, I'm wearing work clothes that need to be washed. |

A friend of mine broke his foot rolling into a car (California stop) last week, but he came back, riding a minibike with his cast on one pedal and crutches over the handlebars. He says he much prefers Zoobomb to the armpit express. |

My formals are ones I have gotten since Spunky and I got married (two of them) and hand me downs from my mom (two of them). So they are anywhere from a size 3 to a size 12, guaranteed to have one thing fit on all occasions. They may not look great, but they will fit :) So I went to this bbq for a friend this weekend. Her mom was in town from MO, so she had a bbq for her. She introduced this chick M as her best friend to everyone (which I guess is fine). My problem is with M. She is the walking definition of a crack whore. I mean literally. She's so nasty. When she was hanging around here before $400 mysteriously dissappeared from my place, though she wasn't the only crack idiot that my friend kept around upstairs. I honestly don't know why she hangs out with these people. I avoided her for months because of it and still see her rarely. So I play nice at this bbq, cuz I don't want to make a huge scene in front of all of them. I don't need to upset her, or her mom. We went for them, not to bash the crack whores. This morning I get a call at 8am. From M. Wants me to babysit, so she can go interview for a job at McDonald's cuz apparently the strip clubs won't hire her anymore, cuz no one wants to see her skanky ass. I respectfully declined. Ugh....now crack whores are calling. I swear I am like one step away from moving out and not telling anyone where I am! G is going to get her ass chewed out royally for giving M my phone number, I swear it. |
Can I live with you, formal kick ball sounds fun. |
You should know that I have room for you anytime. |
|
its fucking cute. you go on with your rule breaking. hallway soccer. now there's a memory. i tried, a couple of years ago, to organize a kickball game every sunday, but most of my friends are slackasses. |
Hallway soccer? Sounds like fun if I could find someone living in an apartment building. We have kickball every Monday, I don't know how long it's been going on; I've played since June. It's all about the fun except when I miss something, certain other people take it way too seriously. |
. Kickball was dangerous at my gradeschool. We played with way too big a ball, and the field was too small. I remember a kid getting hit point blank with that huge, heavy ball. His feet hit the ground last. Naturally, it was very funny. I think he lost a tooth or something, but that's not unusual in a gradeschool playground. . Formal kickball would be sweet. I'd need a tux, though. A Black and White (kick)Ball. |
your supposed to use those inflatable red bouncy balls made of rubber. they are light and are harmless. in fact we used them for dodgeball as well. being light as they are, they are ideal for either or, becaue you can bean someone in the head and it wont hurt, just make a fantastic BooooNG! sound and in kickball you can kick the shit out of them. |
I do remember the great sound it made. |
The first inning, the first kick even, I was playing first, ready to tackle, but the guy slams into me, I go flying and landed on my can. Flat. "I was gonna drink that!!!" I shrieked, chasing him around the field, dribbling beer on his shoulders whenever possible. I wonder how Sorabjite kickball would go. |
|
|
When your 4-6, that thing is a meteor of red death. Somehow I belive sorabjite sports of anykind, would involve nekkidness and lots of random booze. |
oh it didnt hurt THAT bad. many a childhood frustrations were excised on the dodgeball court. dodgeball. a cruel cruel game, yet a very keen game derived of reality. |
Nekkidness and Random Booze Run Rampant in the Sorabjite Olympics 2004. Somewhere in the rural US- Residents remain stunned after witnessing what very well may be largest unnatural disaster in the area in over a century. "Why couldn't we just have had a forest fire?" weeped one local who wished to remain anonymous. A group of internet afectiondos, dubbed Sorabjites after a web site, decided somehow that it would be a great idea to have some 'games' out in the woods; three days of beer, kickball and naked mud wrestling. Horrified parents covered their childrens' eyes as gangs of nude nerds ran across yards carrying red rubber balls.... etc. |
. I was all about the dodgeball. . I was fast. |
i really need to get one of those balls. eva will not enter school without knowing how to exert extreme prejiduce on the dodgeball court. of course the pussies at the school board have probably banned it, or make them wear helmets now. |
If anyone wants to learn the meaning of extreme sport, just try to play foursquare wearing a gorilla suit. |
Hayley is not allowed to play red rover, so they made up another version of the game, where the rules are a little different and the whole thing is pussy. I think they even changed the name to make it more politically correct. She has not learned how to play dodgeball or kickball in all her years at school (now going into 4th grade). Instead they play with "freedom balls" and do crab walks and annoying shit like that. I was tiny in school and basically sucked at all games, but I can kick some ass now. Being the brunt of the lame jokes back then gave me the drive to learn to do the things I wasn't good at and to become good at them. Sometimes I think the things they do at schools (like change red rover to a pc game) make is so kids don't have to learn inner strength. It just seems so goddamned lame what they do now... I wanna hear hayley talk about how she got her ass kicked in a game of kickball at the end of the day, and then go out with her and practice with her so she can do better later... but that has never happened. |
Holy shit, there's a blast from the past, although for us, it wasn't dodgeball -- rather, whoever was the "queer" got tossed a football and 5 seconds to run away as fast as he could before being smothered at the bottom of a pile-on. |
i loved co-ed dodgeball. the girl's gym teacher in my middle school was such a bulldyke that she actually subjected her girls to that mess in some feminist attempt to empower them or something. man, it was ugly. and hot! |
|
|
a. let off steam by running/kicking/jumping someone who has either i. pissed you off ii. you have a crush on. b. there is no b. |
|
|
|
smear the queer. considering my brother was always on some middle school or high school football team, i am very familiar with this game. it was amusing to him, to suit me up in his 30 lbs of gear, on my 75lb frame mind you and "smear" me all over the backyard. havent we all had the bulldyke gym coach at one point or another dave? seriously. |
I'm wearing flip-flops, jeans, a black v-neck short-sleeved shirt, and a black thin cardigan. No makeup. Hair messily pulled back. I look unprofessional, and I'd really rather be at home, asleep, right now. |
|
crappy torn shorts, made from banana republic pants. fine glaze of sweat. its going to a warm one. im with eva today. |
(I forgot to mention that I'm wearing the same shirt I wore yesterday and slept in last night. It's clean, though.) |
|
Over that, I'm wearing a blue, vaguely tropical print shirt, open. Green cargoes with bright orange velcro. Garmont shoes. Messy hair. |
I must bathe before I get dressed and ready for the day. So right now, white nightie with pink roses, and matching satin undies. |
|
I tell you, as soon as this lease is up we are so outa here!! We will rent a house instead. I swear it. |
Dark tan socks. dark olive green jeans. light tan Club Room shirt. watch. the ring Kazoo gave me for xmas. really not motivated to work after a co-worker discovered a disc on which my ex-boss downloaded an entire porn site to PDF. |
|
I am now wearing navy blue cut off sweat pants and a white tank top....feeling lazy about dressing right now. Hair is twisted up in a black spider clip. So I clash, too. Throw in the super dark blood red nail and toe polish and I look like a total heel. Don't care right now, though. |
And that's all. Time for a shower. |
|
I'm sure she'llbe thrilled to be back, although spunky posting long excepts from anti-choice group's websites, I'm sure she could do without. |
|
White bra with embroidered daisies. Black trouser socks. Black satin jeans buttoned with a safety pin. White "camp" shirt that pulls in front. Black docs. Black ponytail holder. Bicycle chain. Guess what? It's back to work for me! Yay. |
|

I am now wearing low cut black jazz pants, a blood red tank top with black flowers outlined, black water bra, dark blue bikini undies, matching red sandals, and a black celtic cross necklace. |
|
2: I live in bullet time. 3: I'm wearing black boxer breifs, and a black undershirt. I just woke up and although there are pants no more then 4 feet from me, I feel like the underwear is good for now. I really have no desire whatsoever to work tonight, but alas thats what I have to do. I'm starting to feel chagrined twards tweakers and drunks. |
|
Black Wacoal bra which manages to be comfy, sexy, and able to handle the emotional stress of my tig bitties. Bdus. Orange tanktop that closes with a row of hook and eyes. Some metal crap. Glasses. Did I mention I'm getting new glasses soon and how stoked I am? I ordered them yesterday and they will arrive soon yay! |
I am wearing the same underwear, an orange polyester zip-front shirt (formerly of Harby's (?)) and highwater flares. |
Some loose dark green cargos, my grey "Navy" shirt, a different pair of black boxer briefs, black undershirt, white socks, and crappy ass old tennis shoes I work in. In a moment, that will be down to my underwear, work killed my ass last night. |
I'm wearing a cream coloured towel with red stains on it from the mysterious red thing that exploded all over my laundry last night. Soon I will be wearing a black tank top and a purple and black polka dot silk skirt with assorted underwear and oxblood mary janes. I think I will go thriftstoring today. |

light yellow pj's with bright yellow ducks. its cold.. By dave. on Sunday, June 3, 2001 - 06:53 pm: ha hah. you got winter. |

Green shorts. Black ankle socks. Brown crocs. About 50 lbs I don't need. |

Teal tank top Black cashmere cardigan that's way too hot for this weather but I'm not planning on going outside until after dark anyway and it's chilly inside with the bloody air conditioning yeah that sweater Bare feet Contact lenses |

This hot afternoon I want a beach. I notice, since resurfacing with this thread, that, what is not said, is as important as that which is not worn. Or ? the gaps and the straps and the in betweens. the pictures missing but the mind conjuring. pick an innocuous few: slingback heels, punk rock hair, teal tank top, bare feet, a comfy bra. Women's wear is so creative. There's no comparison to men's wear, none at all. Beaten -- beaten -- silver. Save us from the fashion police. |
I got my hair cut a couple of weeks ago, and tragically, it's more Linda Ronstadt than punk rock. *MOURN* |
brown jacket black teeshirt bare feets white gold earrings wedding and engagement rings white lace minimizing bra that my boobs insist on rudely pushing out of paisley underpants |
pregnant boobies are not to be contained. |
Now that my choice in earrings has been defended, I want to see pictures of the punk rock haircut. |
please. I am wearing gap jeans (I know, but they actually fit), a purple ribbed tanktop, a robin's egg blue cotton cardigan tied around my waist, and some extra fat. No shoes or socks. Also, I cut my own hair last week, and now I look like a cross between Joan Jett and a femmullet. Lord have mercy. |
What happened to Tbone? |
And Agatha, in a stunning coincidence, I also cut my own hair this morning and am now leaning more toward Joan Jett than Linda Rondstadt. Behold. (It's still wet, and it's not as crooked as it looks there.) |
I don't look pregnant so any picture on Flickr should suffice. Also, I won't be doing belly pictures, but if my belly happens to be in a regular picture of me, I'm sure Sem will post it. |
i have very straight hair. it's now all one length and cut extremely bluntly, about half way between my ear lobes and shoulders. the underside is dyed a purplish red, the rest of it is my regular blonde. doesn't sound very punk rock i guess, but it looks cooler than it sounds. esp if you compare it to the long layered deal i had before. but never ever bangs. i hate bangs. |
|
|
b) that haircut looks really cute. but it doesn't hold a candle to your beautiful smile, spider. the picture of radiance. |
uh, boxerbriefs, charcoal. it is summer. |
Here is a video for your enjoyment of our snow (we don't get snow very often and its melted now). Reese had fun: http://nz.youtube.com/watch?v=TX0nl_KoCd0 |

Spider, my hair kinda looks like yours, only less good. |
Actually, my hair looks much better than that when it's dry. :) This was it yesterday (after walking home from work) and I only cut about an inch off the very bottom. After having hip-length hair for a couple years and always wearing it up or in braids, short and messy feels pretty good. You're a red-head, right, Agatha? I bet your hair is awesome. Yours, too, Sarah. :) Pictures? |
|
i think hair needs the context of face. |
|
i think it's hilarious that Spider does that to her photos. it let's my imagination do the work. i choose to believe that behind the scenes she's making a cross eyed face with her tongue sticking out. i'll try to get senor to take a photo of my punk rock hair cut this weekend... right now i am wearing my jammies, bottoms are inside out. |
speaking of context, anyone ever been to Belize? |
the past six months has put grey in my beard. some say there is no such thing as a hippie anymore. |

I had my hair cut yesterday. Pics will not be posted because it has made me very sad. I'm wearing: socks with dogs on them (possibly pekineses); cotton pajama bottoms (white with big dark purple flowers); a maroon t-shirt with an image of a woman dancing with a bear under a streetlight saying, "I always liked your porridge best" in a speech bubble; pink and white striped underwear; an oatmeal-colored cardigan sweater I've had since college; glasses. I'm eating: Kashi cereal and skim milk. My imagination fails to produce an image of Nate with long hair. It gives me Henry Rollins with long hair instead. |
|
|
I'm wearing an orange thermal shirt, black socks, and black leggings. I haven't actually gotten dressed yet today. My house is very cold, and my dogs are very needy, and Dave is makin delicious taters. |
i think i passed on the crunch because it doesn't have as much protein. but i'm not certain. it just started raining. i love this time of year. |
drinking luke warm yerba mate. things that made me go eep this week: only two days after i had just seen her down in austin last sunday, my baby niece had to go to the hospital with respiratory syncytial virus (rsv). she has been on a respirator for the past week, but this morning i heard they are finally taking her home and all is well. on friday i had brought a thermos/mug full of the very last of my very strong community coffee into my bedroom to have coffee in bed. while adjusting a pillow, i knocked the mug over and spilled all the coffee on my carpet. i used a shammi to soak it up, but there's still a big stain there. last night i was cooking cooking chicken (with cumin, chili powder, and cayenne for tacos) in my big frying pan with a partially clear plastic lid. i took the lid off and put it to the side. i left the kitchen for a second and heard a crash: the lid had fallen and the plastic completely shattered. |
It is gloomy outside, and the temperature is 45 degree outside, we had a light rain this morning and it may be a freezing rain today. I am planning to go out of town pretty soon to go places, I had to fight off tinninis(ringing effects in your ear). I am going for a light shopping today. I was hoping for a sunshine tomorrow or later this week. |
I'm about to change into black cashmere socks with pink polka dots, dark brown corduroy pants, and a pink cashmere turtleneck so that I can go play Scrabble with friends. So happy that the rain is back. Winter is awesome. |

|
damn la nina. |
we have about ten years to alter the environmentally unsound practices in the Ecuadorian archepelago...according to the science of it... and about the same time to alter the course of the earth's demise. it will of course survive as it has before. civilizations pass, and ours will too. we are exacerbating the problems with greedy mindless consumption, setting the example for developing nations to be more like western excess. truly unfortunate. if we could all bike to work one day a week we'd save something like 8 billionmiles driven a year. |
|
We need to rethink everything: move where we work, or work where we live. |
or going vegetarian. standard american meat consumption has a similar effect to driving a car on the environment. |

I enjoyed my time with the Nintendo ds, and ,Last saturday,I bought a R4 ( A Memory card for NDS), and Enjoyed some downloading games and few other stuff, I am planning on how to load a movie download to my R4 Memory card. I have to learn how to do it. As of right now, I am trying to get some sleep, cuz, the last few nights, I couldn't sleep until 5 A.M. Cause the amnesia are causing some of my memories to come back. And for now, I am wearing a T-shirt and a short getting ready to sleep. |
black wool slacks, joseph Preiss check shirt barbour cashmere sweater, smartwool socks in merrill approach/campside trekkers, eddie bauer vest under Alf all weather jacket, gloves, crocethed multicolor grateful dead skull cap, and I think I will not be warm enough. back to stl and more snow tomorrow night. |
look, i came back. a sucker is me. |
Daniel, you sound well-bundled. I am wearing: *navy blue socks *brown cotton pants *white cotton tank top *wine-colored silk/cotton v-neck shirt *brown wool fair-isle cardigan with white, grey, and wine-colored details and frog(?) closures *big bruise on my left palm/wrist area, because I slipped twice on the ice today. :( |
"my memories are returning... oh god. no." i am wearing: black skirt of strange construction with millions of tiny snaps black blouse/t-shirt thing with funny short sleeves knee high boots my glasses! i love these glasses |
I may be well bundled but some might say I am rather loosely wrapped. Sitting at a window on the 16th floor of a hotel watching the snow come down, hanes whiteys and the same socks, cuz the thermostat in the room was set at 82 and it is 27 snow flurrying degrees outside. the room is finally beginning to cool down after turning the heater off two hours ago. I would be drinking but I am not. had some interesting shrimp they called scampi but very truly was not. six shrimp with little chunks of carrots in a heavy heavy heavy garlic creme sauce over linguini. certainly not the scampi I know. Lots of coffee and a thick as dirt on a jeep cheesecake with raspberry sauce. mmm. Oh, not wearing any of it, at least externally. lovely decadent place here. decadent meal. decadent mind. decadent Detroit. |
|
|
|
better yet, don't stay in downtown Detroit. |
|
didi you ever get that grammar gene fixed? |
|
detroit is a place only a mother could love. or a child. pepper, so insomnia? amnesia? what gives? |
|
|
i don't know what you people are talking about. Detroit is charming. |
|
|
I am more hopeful with this administration but are we not seeing more of the same? |
|
. Detroit today is what all of US cities will be ... once the economy plummets, and it is doing just that. Hold onto your urban hats. Find some common ground and start a garden, buy toilet paper and detergent while you can still get them and afford them. In five years, unless Obama et al and you and me can turn this thing around, even if you have money, there will be nothing to buy from the Chinese, in whose debt we will become indentured servants. Nothing against the chinese here, just the facts of a deficit totally incomprehensible. I am wearing my NRA PAX UBER ALLIS shirt, with an ammo belt. Swinging through the frigid trees. |

We have pushed industry to third world countries where there is less control or care of the environmental damage that heavy industry wreaks. We --western consumerism -- have wrecked the nature beauty and abundance of China, polluted streams and laid waste whole contrysides. The damage to China in particular as they've embraced western capitalism and industry is overwhelmingly alarming, yes. China does not make crap, Doc, at least anymore than Arkansas -- or Detroit -- used to make crap. But Detroit "in a market economy" would not need a bailout if they manufactured something we wanted to buy. I am talking about the environmental and social damage, the pleasure of living well on this side of the planet at the cost of destroying another side. The unemployed in downtown Detroit like other cities throughout the western world would work if there were jobs. But, Jobs are not located there, rather in areas where the western world can exploit human and natural resources. In the global ecomony, we in the west are eventually and soon going to be the loser. In Cuba, everyone has a productive garden and some chickens, shrunk wrap factory farmed poisoned meat does not exist. FDA? Get real. Forget about the economy, we ought to be concerned about the water and the air in a global sense. And may be the food chain. And I do believe the economy is tanking, badly, and the water is getting bad, and the air is suffering (and will suffer with this bullshit clean coal lie), and the shrunk wrapped and gassed food is unfit for human or animal consumption. And the heavy industry of Detroit has suffered because they have not produced a product that Americans want to buy, for years, except the suv market, which, well enuf said. I WAS in Detroit and I WAS in Rochester, and (NO I didn't go to the Vietnam War but I remember the war years vividly, and their stateside violence affected me profoundly and personally)...my family has recently been in poverty stricken Thailand, traumatized Cambodia, over industrialized Japan, and in denial Hong Kong, as well as Beijing and other struggling to keep it together parts of rural mainland China. My son's Christmas 2007 wish list was for chickens for some families in Thailand. No I am not an alarmist but a realist. I'm not stuck in academic ivory towers but on the road (polluting the air with plane travel I might add) at least once monthly all over the country,to this lovely place we call home for a few years. I'm not watching some propaganda on the weather channel but relying on first hand reports that would curl your pretty hair. And there is a stream in China outside Bejing that if you'd rinse your glasses with the water, it would melt the plastic. to be fair, I have regained in the last quarter 2008 the one per cent of my 40% + investment loss over Jan-Oct 2008. We, and I am as guilty as the rest, caused this problem, and pushed it out of sight. What don't we understand about these bailouts and deficits? Why should heads of floundering firms get bonuses for losing and mismanaging our money? What is totally alarmist bullshit is that the FDA can protect us from corporate American food and pharma. Take your pick. The rich get richer and the poor get poorer. |
i meant this: In five years, unless Obama et al and you and me can turn this thing around, even if you have money, there will be nothing to buy from the Chinese, in whose debt we will become indentured servants. Nothing against the chinese here, just the facts of a deficit totally incomprehensible. all the fucking drama is making everything worse. our historical memory is so very short and twisted and our idea of what "debt" is is for the most part wrong. |
I do believe, without a shred of cycnicism or drama, that IF things don't turn around, and Main Street does not get helped (I like Nate's proposal of splitting the trillions of usd bailouts among the populace), the sand hills of Nebraska are going to look like paradise to anarchy-minded. The rest of humanity will be swept away in violence, possibly very cold weather, no drama intended. Interesting you mention the 'debt' word again. It does have an interesting Aramaic meaning as in "Forgive us our debts" and a totally different meaning from current usage. What do you mean "for the most part wrong?" I think the chinese people are just like us: hard working people desireous of life liberty and happiness. It's the governments that are screwey. Obama brings us at least some hope. |

..... seems to suit the governments of several countries, ours included. One of my more well to do friends says that the gold standard is not so important, especially as it contributed to the fall in the 1929 crash and such, albeit this interpretation is from his parents. Me, I would use a chocolate standard. |
I wonder if the market is going to tank yet again within 60 days. I would not be surprised. It is a historical fact, thi riding the wave of resurgence, which has repeated itself at least three times in the US economy. Tell me, is any one out there thinking that things are getting economically better, that we are rebounding? Get ready for a larger crash than the past 18 months. Or, we simply can ignore this thread all together. Hey how bout them americans? oh yes, wearing blue polo short sleeve with black wool slacks, glasses, the eccos lace ups and smart wool again. And some chocolate icing. |

black cotton skirt with a pocket in the front, yellow vneck tshirt with a pinapple and mango sketch. plaid panties, the unsexiest nursing bra ever. that's it. |
|
I'm wearing black doc marten boots - but not the skinhead steel cap ones, stylish zip up slight heely ones. Black pants. Black stretchy top, black long cardi over top. For colour I added a pinky red necklace that looks like lollies. |
I'm wearing plaid pajama pants and a brown v-neck. |
what's the matter with panties? underpants are what 6 year old boys wear. |

I had to correct her that men dont wear panties. even if there is shape in common. has everyone had some what of an evolution in the underwear realm? as a teen i wore boxers. thats because i could ditch the pants and have instant lounge around the house garb. then that first lady i was with in my 20s told me that boxer briefs were sexy. being the whore that i am, made the switch to boxer briefs and rocked those out for the 8 years or so. In recent years I slimmed down to regular briefs. CK only though. recently on a whim i picked up some bikini briefs much to the womans liking and subsequently mine. they hug the junk quite nicely. im afraid those really obnoxios and homeoerotic jock strap underwear things popular with gay men is right around the corner. |

I haven't noticed much of an underwear evolution since my teenage years; I used to wear basic low-rise cotton underpants, had a brief flirtation with skanky underwear, and then settled back into basic low-rise underpants (silk, ah the joys of increased buying power!). However, no tale of underwear past is complete without a transcription of the following note my teacher sent home to my father in the second grade: "Please tell your daughter to start wearing underpants, or to stop using the swings." |
