shutitdown: livin' for the anecdote

<< shutitdown: taking one for the anecdote

Losing it

I am losing my mind. I have written so many papers this week...and I still have so many more to go that I feel like crying. Today I was talking to my mom on the phone and I said to her, "Mom, sometimes I feel like Morrissey is the only one who really understands me." I was driving to a study group for one of my finals today listening to the Smiths and it made me think of sweet Fran.

In case you don't remember, Franny and I were roommates in college. Not housemates, mind you, we lived in a single room together. Anyone who can put up with me like that deserves your love and support. Fran and I used to listen to the Smiths frequently--we also talked about ritual suicide frequently. At one point, we had a plan to hang giant signs out our window with one or two lines of Billy Joel's "We Didn't Start the Fire." We intended to divide it perfectly so it would last an entire semester. We had big plans, Fran and I, but of course, like all things that are important to me, they never came to fruition.

We did many other amusing things together, like driving to syracuse, drawing skulls on everything we owned, buying those 4oz. cans of Budwiser, calling security on dirty hippie drum circles, and eating sushi on the floor. Now that I look back on it, I guess it wasn't so fun. Fran, correct me if I am wrong. Maybe you can supplement this somehow. Make us sound cool, or something.

Today I was talking to Fran on the phone:

Me: I'm thinking about becoming a compulsive masturbator.
Fran: That's kind of like having a weblog.
Me: Damn you.

Anyway, I miss Fran and want her to come visit me so go tell her to come here or give her money or buy her things or something.

Once this week is over I might become sane again, but no promises. Did I ever link that paper I wrote a while ago? I dunno.

No worries Bill, I was just clearing things up for the uninitiated.

Lina, I'd do anything for you.

I'm just trying to help. :-(

Photos of tieing up?? In the next issue perhaps?

fran was tied up??? the world has no meaning

You look good today too ; Keep that hairstyle girl !!

Wow, Lina ! You really look "Good" today ! :p

At this point, I am willing to try almost anything.

Fran, when you come visit, will you tie me up?

I love Lina too. It is an unrequited love though, as it must remain.

Lina, I love you to itsy bitsy pieces and I vow to one day grace the northern coastal region of California with my presence. Soon. Perhaps we can relive college right in your apartment? (Though it would be more appropriate to do so in my -- aka your -- apartment, due to its similar size.)

And to your friend Bill here: You know, I've had the unfortunate opportunity of having been tied up before (long story, no laughing, Lina) and it sure as hell was NOT relaxing.

Lina, have you ever been tied up? It helps you relax.
