What about Jurassic Bark?

I think Jurassic Bark was possibly sadder, but The Luck of the Fryrish was much more poignant.

Hey thanks!

You’re having a hard time finding people who enjoy doing that? Damn.

Yeah, sucks right? Turns out I’m way more appealing on the internet than I am in person.

Even the marriage whims and everything? And that is a good thought.

Yeah no that right there is why I’m positive, like that’s a conversation that just kind of happens I think? “You know even though we just met I feel so close to you, that’s not the coke talking you totally get me, let’s fucking get married!”

I just don’t see Stormer being able to put with Kimber’s shit, though.

I think back to how shitty of a person I was when I was Kimber’s age though you know, and like once cocaine went out of style I imagine she calmed down even more!

Realize how cool you are without them and how miserable they make you!

She doesn’t make me miserable, she just sometimes makes me feel like shit. People have been telling me for years that she’s not worth it, I just didn’t start believing them until last night.

If she doesn’t want my friendship I don’t need her to have it. I’ve been playing this shitty game with her since I was 19 and I’m fucking tired of it.

Time to create industrigrass!

Greygrass. Bluewire. Steelgrass. Steel/grass. Ferrothorn.

I kind of want to write music as if I were in Ooo and call my band Power Shriek.

Audio or it didn’t happen? or something

Workin’ on it! Gonna upload a video to YouTube I think at some very soon point.

1! Let’s see. I’m not afraid to ask necessarily, but I am kind of afraid of telling someone about my general tendency to be ubiquitous. In all fairness she knows about that because it’s been affecting her and she kind of called me out on it today, so I guess I am kind of afraid to find out if she resents me for making her feel passive-aggressive or something.

3! Some people think I… I dunno. I think I’m generally up-front enough that people don’t have any misconceptions about me, but occasionally I’ll hear that I sell crack or something. But then that’s also hilarious! I guess some people assume I’m hiding something, which I probably am, but I don’t know what so I can’t acknowledge it.

9! I have never been close to a national or global tragedy. One could say September 11th affected all Americans because it gave Bush the opportunity to set some very disturbing precedents, but that’s kind of a shitty answer. I and my friends have had our share of personal tragedies, but nothing so massive as national or even regional.

27! Adventure… One time I, Zack, Harry and Kathy Isabel went for a drive! We didn’t know where we were going and we DIDN’T CARE and also I think Zack was wearing something foppish? We ended up having a picnic on the other side of the state! I saw a purple and green house and told my friend about it but I don’t think she cared. But it was a good picnic!

Well I’ve had some wonderful days but I don’t like to focus on them any more than I focus on the bad days, but let me think for a second. The best day of my life so far was probably around the time I moved to Florida, it’s a thing I sometimes call “beating the Water Temple,” but I like to think there are still better days ahead.

But…all of your music stuff that’s going on is so cool. How is that possible?

Well get ready. These are all things that just kind of happen, but simultaneously, it’s kind of making sucking down some exhaust seem appetizing.

A couple days ago my parents told me they were kicking me out. WHATEVER, I’m 22, it should’ve happened like three years ago, that’s barely even a thing. But I also don’t have a job and it’s not like there’s a ton of guitar tech jobs out there? I mean I’ve certainly been calling around, which leads to this next one:

Today I called a shop, they had a local area code, and they told me to bring my resume in an hour later. So I came back to my parents’ house to print one out but traffic was being terrible, there was a cop in front of me most of the way and the person in front of him thought it’d be a good idea to show him he could drive 5 under the speed limit the whole time. This is a county where the slow lane is usually going about 10 over. It was bullshit, I did not have time for it. Also my blood sugar was 203, so you know, Andy fucking mad. I got home and tried to print from Google Docs, but my printer wasn’t working. I punched through some wood, in one of my more productive moves of the past year. After messing with the printer for fifteen minutes I was on my way to Catonsville.
Traffic on 695 was just. The only word I could think to describe it with was “excruciating.” It was the most frustrating extra half hour of driving I’ve ever had to do. I got there, smoked a cigarette to calm down, and looked for the shop. The address was 706, and I saw across the street 725, and I looked a little ways down, 700. There didn’t seem to be a shop at all where 706 should’ve been, so I called the number and asked where they were. I said, “you’re still in Catonsville, right?” and, apparently, they moved to bumfuck Pennsylvania and kept their 410 number! At that point I had become so frustrated I didn’t know how to express it. I literally did not know how to be any more frustrated than I had been, it just came out as pure bewilderment. It was almost euphoric.

On Tuesday I talked to a girl I’ve been liking about how I’m asexual, and how I’m attracted to her, and how as an asexual I don’t know how to handle being attracted to people. It actually wasn’t nearly as awkward as it sounds like it should have been, I really could’ve timed it better, but it was one of those things I had to say at some point and later was worse, so I said it. Then we went on a 2.5-hour drive, we listened to every song on Femme Fatale, a few on Tubthumper, and a shitload of random ’90s jams. I mean it actually was a good drive! We were going to a concert which also turned out to be really good. This is actually a pretty cool thing that’s happened in the past week! But she’s seemed kind of, not as affectionate towards me. She also has a lot on her plate though. I don’t know. That whole thing’s not quite a thing. It did make me realize though:

There is a reason no one wants to date me and that is because it’d be a fucking stupid thing to do. There is literally no reason for a person to want to date me. Unless they’re part of the, like, .05% of the population I’ve met and been attracted to they are barking up the wrong fucking tree when it comes to sex; and while I will admit I rule and have a lot of redeeming qualities, every last one of them is available to all of my friends at pretty much any moment. I will date or kiss people I respect, but people I respect don’t want to date or kiss me because people I respect aren’t stupid as hell. Not to mention nearly 100% of sex-positive humans actually, like, enjoy sex, and I imagine most sexual humans in relationships especially enjoy sex with their partners.

So basically it’s come down to: my career prospects are shit, my love life is shit, my car is having trouble, my computer can’t be on and charge at the same time, my glasses are broken, and I feel like I’m stepping on my friends’ toes when I sit in the coffee shop where they work. After the first two I started listing things I hadn’t really addressed. But for the first two alone I’d say my life is kind of shit!

bingonightatthestripclub replied to your post: Someone though.

If I had a reliable job I’d say yes for kicks and giggles. Good luck, though? Have you tried anywhere crazy like craigslist yet?

Not yet. I’m apprehensive about committing to something like CL ads until my job interviews are all over and I’m hired. Hopefully it’ll be figured out by next Friday? If I can’t get a job by the end of the month I’m spending some time on my friend’s floor in Brooklyn.

C: I’ve never actually dated anyone. I’ve been in love but I’ve never dated dated.

K: N/A, but for the record, I’m basically incapable of having a “normal” monogamous relationship because I’m pretty much asexual so the idea of dating someone who isn’t polyamorous kind of weirds me out? I can’t imagine why a polyamorous relationship would need breaks though, like I don’t think I could ever make a person feel trapped in a relationship with me, I feel like I’m pretty easy-going about it as long as I feel loved.

S: Deal breaker… There’s a few of them I guess. Kids! That live with them, I am so far from ready to be a father figure to anyone. I guess other than that we just have to appreciate each other’s company and be attracted to each other? Noting the difference between “be attracted to” and “find attractive.”

2: “You’ve had the same crush on a human who doesn’t actually exist since you were twelve, just because you’re projecting your anxieties and desires onto someone new doesn’t mean they appreciate it any more than the last one. Dickshit.”

3: I think long-distance relationships can work if the terms are well-defined and agreed-upon. But they can certainly fail in that case too. I’ve seen them work and fail. I’ve seen them work and then fail when they reunited! No one’s relationship is really my place to judge.

bingonightatthestripclub replied to your post: Who’s your favourite bluegrass band?

I don’t know contemporary either because for the most part I really dislike the current popular bands hahaha. I love Bill and his twang! I dig Del McCoury, David Peterson & 1946, Muleskinner and Jimmy Martin to name a few. I love twang, though!

Hell yeah, thank you!
