OH HAI.
I am not so great at making banners, but since I recently mentioned the existence of this journal on other parts of the Interbahn, I notice that people are adding me and I'm not totally sure who they are. So, um, just imagine that there's a banner. It would probably have Michael C. Hall on it. And it would say
This journal is friends-only!
Please comment if you want to be added and give me some idea of how I know you. If you are from any of the forums or blogs I post on, I will probably not need a huge amount of memory-jogging, but I just want to be sure. If you want to be in filter groups (for discussion of personal and possibly TMI stuff) that is also negotiable. Most of my posts are filtered to one degree or another.
I'm looking forward to being lj friends with you! |

Holy Shit.
I just found out that someone I knew in college died this week.
His name was Phil. He was a really nice guy and one of the most devoted Christians I've ever met. He lived across the hall from me freshman year, and even though we didn't have a lot in common he was friendly to me every time I saw him, right up to graduation.
I remember that he always wore the fedora that his mom gave to him as a high school graduation present, that he loved listening to movie soundtracks, and that the weekend his girlfriend broke up with him he wouldn't talk to anybody. He clearly felt a lot of love. He had friends of all different social, ethnic, and cultural groups, and every time I saw him he was with a friend, talking and smiling together, clearly listening intently to what they had to say.
He is also the second person I knew to die in a motorcycle accident (the first was someone from online). I guess that's just a random morbid fact, plus a hobby that I'm increasingly unlikely to ever take up.
Rest in peace, Phil. I can only imagine how many people are praying for you and your family. You always left me feeling more hope than I had before, and I hope that I will always remember that gift, as fleeting as it turned out to be. |

Woohoo, my performance last night actually went well for a change!
I danced to "Frosti" by Bjork, "Mon Amie La Rose" by Natacha Atlas, and "The Lovecats" by the Cure, which was a cane dance. For the last one I decided to come down off the stage and flirt with the audience, by which I mostly mean trying to hook Scott from Midnight with my cane. Afterwards a guy I used to know in college, who was impressively drunk, told me "aw, you're getting married? That's too bad." :D
Apparently while I was getting ready, Daniel and Lishan went upstairs to the more-populated part of the club and told everyone "hey, there's a bellydancer coming on downstairs!", which resulted in me getting much more of a crowd than the bands that had performed before me. |

It amazes me how every time someone does something dangerous, people come out of the woodwork to go "wow, he must be an idiot! Doesn't he know that's dangerous?" |

So my family decided that when I get sleepy I'm basically a walking cat macro.
We also decided that I shouldn't write out the wedding invitations tonight, because then the invitations would say "is it can be wedding tiem yet?" and the reply cards would say "im in ur weddins eatin ur caek. lulz." |

I'm interested in going to this sometime. Anyone want to come?
Also, being on oxycodone at work is... interesting. Like, "I can't believe they're still letting me answer the phone" interesting.

Today on the metro there was a crazy homeless lady playing the harmonica and ranting about Stevie Wonder for the whole trip. At one point I heard her say "I could dress up if I wanted to, I just dress this way to raise awareness." |

Does anyone have a file of a short story I wrote called "Fencing"? Or a link to it posted somewhere?
I thought I'd posted it on LJ, but I didn't. I posted it on Tangency, though (in the days before the Creative Writing forum), but then I went and scrambled my password.
I wrote it in fall 2004. |

Man Claims Ex-Wife's Sex Change Forfeits Alimony
Man what? "It isn't legal for a man to marry a man, so it shouldn't be legal for a man to pay alimony to a man," this guy says. The article stresses that the ex-husband is unlikely to win this crazy case, but quotes a few "experts" saying that this is an issue that will need to be addressed.
Um, why exactly would that be? Is the idea that now that the ex-wife is a dude, it will be easier for him to make money? Not terribly likely, considering that this is the same county in Florida that recently fired a City Manager shortly after she came out as trassexual.. Or is it some kind of magical thinking where different sexual characteristics suddenly make you into a completely different person?
Either way, that's weapons-grade stupid, people. I wish that when someone had the strength and courage to decide to live life in a way that reflects how they feel on the inside, people would offer them support and encouragement instead of these depressingly irrational reactions. |

Sarah: It is a brave man who posts a wiki about himself.
Russell: Yes, indeed.
*three or four minutes pass*
Sarah: I was tempted to tell the internet that Russell is that black private dick who's a sex machine to all the chicks.
Russell: You're too kind. :) |

Who's looking for [i]pictures[/i] of meth?
Also, if you know [ Error: Irreparable invalid markup ('<lj-user=emprint>') in entry. Owner must fix manually. Raw contents below.] "Looking for pictures of meth? Pictures of meth -- find them here."

Also, if you know <lj-user=emprint> (who is awesome), this would be a good time to tell him how awesome he is. Just don't post it on rpgnet, or you'll look like a suckup. |
