I don't know how Justin does this everyday. I love to blog, but somedays it's so hard to find something to write about, ya know? but my roommate just started blogging a week ago and she's posted four times. so she's on my case "when are you gonna blog again" all the time!
but I have some sort of random thoughts...
I just took an iq test at i.q. test dot com. I guess I should be happy that I'm as smart as it said (157, but I'm taking that with a grain of salt. i'm a genius, right? but if i'm a genius, why am I a fucking receptionist? I mean, I'm a reaaaaaaally good receptionist, but there you have it. what do i do with my geniousity? Cuz, right now, I'm doin nothing. I could go on. but i won't.
I still LOVE Wil Wheaton. A lot.
I miss my soap operas. I miss working at Starbuck's so I can watch my soap operas.
I still didn't buy my Quantum Leap DVD and I haven't seen Star Trek Enterprise in regularly since season 2. When the season premiere of season 4 is on I'm going to be so lost. Sorry Scott, I do still love you....
Steve, Gord, Deb, Aseolites --- how was the Art Gallery? Did Dan go? I didn't go. I suck. But I... ah shit , I don't know. I just suck!
I am a complete geek in my love of my new apartment. It's stupid. I have to go do the dishes soon.
Elisabeth recognized an old love of mine on the bus from a picture I showed her 2 days ago. She sat beside him. yikes. Hi Ken.
Life is crazy. My job, or rather the company I work at, is so bizarre. streamlining? communication? process? respect? teamwork? these are like alien concepts.
yeah, I think that's why I don't blog so often. It's not that I don't have anything to say, It's that I have so much to say but barely the energy to filter it.
The burden of genius...

does "butler" ever read douglas coupland?
yes, I still think about Butler. whenever I read something that is absolutely and mind-alteringly awesome, I think about how butler introduced me to Siddhartha. And all things Kurt Voneggut. And I think about how we communed around Albert Camus - The Outsider, The Myth of Sisyphus, The Fall, and Jack Kerouac and Neil Cassady. How impressed butler was when I told him i'd read "Off the Road" by Carolyn Cassady. (Dan lent me this book, and I still have it. I'll give it back, Dan, I promise. Do you ever read this blog of mine? I used to read yours every day and comment, but you never commented back. dan, sometimes it's like your heart and your mind is right in the same space with mine, and other times (most times, really) you stand with your back to me and leave me out, figuratively and literally. do i register even on your periphery?... sorry, digression)
and then It was fun to be able to introduce butler to an author he'd never heard of - Don DeLillo - and have him enjoy that. Dan introduced me to DeLillo.
last night, visiting the old joint, butler wasn't there, but derek was, and (he asked me what I was reading! my weakness, is when a boy cares about what I'm reading more than impressing me by what he's reading or what he's read. boys that are impressed by me. that is my weakness. I digress. I'll come back to this later or another day.) so anyway, derek, who I might see again in a couple of months, told me if i ever wanted to read more coupland he's got a library. microserfs, life after God, the other one i haven't read but can't remember the name of. and he's never read hey, nostrodamus! so he can borrow mine any time.
please, can i go through the rest of my life without racking up too many more of these life-altering, never completely die, achingly bittersweet "crush"es? ya know, they gotta come up with a better term for this. I'm almost 30 and they are not crushes. they are these connections, ties, that i can't or won't sever. love? not really lust. i'm not really particularly lusty. how can i ever be someone's wife? i guess i'll have to leave these boys and my ties to them behind me. someday.
So should i have changed the names of the not particularly innocent, to protect myself?

a new home a new roommate a new cat a new life?
Saturday was moving day. Now I live within walking distance of most of the people I know. The only places I have to travel to are work (30 minutes on the bus) and my folks places (about 45 minutes on the bus). the roommate thing is great. there's always someone there to talk about and it doesn't feel silly to cook dinner anymore. the cat is sweet and funny and a little insane.
the pad is big, bright and roomy with big ceilings so no one will bump their heads like in my old place.
but i've missed buffy and angel all week because of the lag in the cable service and i miss having e-mail at home. but again, the new computer comes on monday so i can't wait.
now, i'm finally reading "Hey Nostradamus!" my second Douglas Coupland novel. it's really something. a very interesting view on humanity. as individuals, we're intriguing, multi-faceted, stubborn, sometimes amoral but usually searching for an understanding of God, of how to be moral. sometimes people stop searching. which is why as a whole, humanity is pretty disgusting and hideous to each other. this book is very quotable - i find myself reading passages thinking that this would make a great post. I feel like he's maybe a very important author. Like Vonnegut.
okay. more later...
