DocPenfold: so's the conference.
DocPenfold: he gets to go to my home.
DocPenfold: he should go visit my mommy for me.
Sunny32273: i know how you feel... my sister-in-law is going to within a half hour of a place i want to visit.

"Admiral Fell Promises" by Mark Kozelek

Come out from the burning fire, butterfly
Let me lock you in my room and keep you for awhile
Could you be the answer to my every prayer?
Could you be the one that I'll offer all care?

Come into my arms and let your worries die
Come out from the web of all your tangled lies
But be true to me and I'll be true to you
Judge me not for what I've done but what I'll do

A million nights have led to this one we are spending
And I know it's better here than anywhere I've been going

Every morning grew a void more wide and endless

Come out from the burning fire, butterfly
Let me lock you in my room and keep you for awhile
You watch over me and I'll watch over you
If you go tomorrow, choke me til I'm blue

A thousand days have passed in this house she and I were sharing
And I hate myself for it, but I have stopped caring

The Maryland sky tonight is so black and blue and beautiful...

Wanna know something? Both Megan and I are lookin' foxy today.

Sam's got a new baby brother. No fair, I want one!

And my eyeball hurts. Ow.

I just came across this site. It's a blog by a girl named Britt and she talks about a guy (who I am guessing is her boyfriend) named Jeff. Weird.

| 8:07 PM |
I don't know if it's the rainy weather, or the cold, or it's all in my head, but I haven't felt this dead inside in ages.

| 7:07 PM |
We went out to Sunset last night because we were gonna meet up with Dale. Two things happened that are worth mentioning.

A) I stated, "I fucking hate Sunset. Even if it means that I would die, I wish someone would nuke this place."

and B) A girl stole my glasses and kissed me.

You've got a lot to say, and you'll talk until it's all out, and for some reason, no one tries to shut you up. I guess you actually make sense most of the time. Almost everyone likes you, and it's not just because you're cheap. Haha. Cheap as in thrifty, of course. You get a bit depressed now and then, but who doesn't? You seem to have a little anger built up inside, but who doesn't? You like to stare at people through their bedroom window while they're changing, but who doesn't? You sick bastard.


Which Smashing Pumpkins album are you?

Sunny32273: i'll go to my bro's house and visit michael and jarus and upload some music for this one boy i know
DocPenfold: oh really? is he a nice guy?
Sunny32273: mmhmm. i like him
DocPenfold: shhhh, don't tell anyone, but i think he's pretty fond of you too.
Sunny32273: if it's a big secret, then how do you know?
DocPenfold: that guy you know? yeah, he's a big blabbermouth!

I'm sick of food, so why am I so hungry?
I was sick of you but I don't mind seeing your little face.
I was sick of love, so I just stopped feeling
But I couldn't find anything to take its place.

My birthday is now officially over. And it was truly great.

So now I'm gonna go to bed, and listen to American Football as I hop aboard the Dreamland Express. Goodnight.

From the LA Times:

If Jan. 19 is your birthday: You are an original thinker and independent, at times to the degree of arrogance. You are romantic and passionate and can be possessive. Leo, Aquarius people play major roles in your life, could have these letters in names: A, S, J. During February, money will come from surprise source; you could win contest. In April you will make fresh start in new direction and experience a different kind of romance.

From Excite.com.

Capricorn
A good exercise for the next few days might involve your flipping through the mental Rolodex, revisiting all those crushes, dates and relationships that never amounted to more than a hill of beans. That is because the lessons you learned about giving and loving over the last few years will serve you well today, provided that your heart is open and your motivations are pure. If you are too invested in beating your own drum, don't expect any serenades. If you give freely, though, you will receive.

When I look back at all of those past crushes, dates, and relationships, I realize that I did give freely.

I gave you everything and I never got anything back.
- Mark Eitzel

I'm putting less faith in my horoscopes these days.

A few minutes ago I told Heather, "It's shaping up to be a great birthday."

Because tonight GinaJenny+Britt are taking me out to dinner. And tomorrow Droo is coming to town and all of my friends are gonna go out with me. I love my friends.

Scene from: Getting M to do his math homework.

Me: Get to work.
M: It's too much. Can I just do one side?
Me: No, you have to do all of it. It says you have to "complete the worksheet." Do you know what "complete" means?
M: No.
Me: It means do all of it.

He didn't say anything else and started working. I win!

Hey Laura, wassup. The week's going by. I can't wait until tomorrow because it'll be Friday. Overall everything's okay. On Saturday the plan is to go to Father's Office sometime at night. You should meet us. I'll let you know the specifics when they're available. I think the Jay Farrar show on Feb 2 is at a normal time, and i'll probably go to that. If you wanna see Johnatha, you can totally use a parking pass and walk to the roxy if you want. Lemme know. Britt and her roommates are supposed to take me out tomorrow night for my birthday, they just haven't called me about it yet. We had an employee meeting on tuesday night, but i didn't get a chance to say hi to her because i made it a point to chat it up with one of my foxy co-workers. Playing the jealousy angle, oh yes. Talk to you soon.

Jeff

I love driving the Ess-Dog crazy. We were in her car last night and there was a hip-hop mix CD playing.

Me: Is this Digital Underground?
The Ess-Dog: Yeah.
Me: Is "The Humpty Dance" on this CD?
The Ess-Dog: No! That's the worst song ever! But there are other Digital Underground songs on it.
Me: How about "The Humpty Dance"?
The Ess-Dog: NO! Shut up!

| 8:53 PM |
Never been here, never coming back
Never wanna think about the things that happened today
Wanna lay down on the warm ground
Think I'm gonna need a little time to myself

Don't fall down now, you will never get up.

Just when I thought life was done with kicking me in the gut, Officer Rob dropped the bomb on me tonight. It turns out that his wedding has been scaled back to the My-Friends-Won't-Be-Invited type of small.

This sucks because it's the second wedding of one of my close and dear friends that I won't be allowed to attend.

Well, at least I won't have to go through the trouble of finding a date for the wedding!

Hahahaha!

Yeah...heh.

I was talking to Laura about an old roommate of hers who was way Christian.

Davanita29: she was scared of penises
Davanita29: even biological illustrations in books
DocPenfold: i guess it's a requirement for the "fanatical christian" club.
Davanita29: and she tried to convert me to christiandom... i was like.. umm, thanks, but no thanks
Davanita29: she was always telling me about how she saw that jesus was working in her life
Davanita29: because she would get a good grade on a test or something
Davanita29: he sure wasn't working on her hair.

From the LA Times:

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Look behind scenes; someone wants to "tell you something." Powerful forces line up on your side. Get plans, formats on paper. You are going places, and the sky is the limit.

Sounds good to me!

I've been listening to the Smashing Pumpkins' Machines of God like a fiend lately. Like two or three times a day (I've been sitting at my computer for hours on end recently). I never really listened to it when I first got it a couple of years ago. Now I'm hooked.

From Horoscopes-By-Email:

Release preconceived notions or expectations to appreciate all the gifts now being presented to you. A higher level of awareness allows you to release old desires to embrace the new dreams that have come to light through the internal healing you've accomplished over the last three months.

Ah, the sun is out. I went to the post office when I got up to buy stamps and send off some bills. I was wearing a long-sleeved shirt. Big mistake! It's frickin' warm out, oh baby.

I leave for work in an hour. Today would be a nice day to take M out for some frozen yogurt, wouldn't you agree?
