Mar. 12th, 2003 12:40 amThere's a song off the newest Dictators album called "Moronic Inferno". I feel like that today, this idiot elemental force that destroys everything in its path.
I like being the recipient of little personal notes in my friends' journals. It's kinda like Rob in High Fidelity, who wanted to date a musician so he could be sublty referred to in the liner notes.
I don't feel real worthy of these positive emotions from people lately. Maybe it's just this general malaise from today. Got an email I didn't really want, but it was like taking some robitussin. Call it spiritual expectorant. I'm not going to reply. I don't think I need or want to; I don't think I can or will persuade the writer that they're wrong, well...not wrong so much as mistaken. I remember while I was working at Kaplan, I met this girl, her name was Gein. Gein and I really hit it off. We talked, laughed, really enjoyed ourselves. She gave me her number, I called, we chatted more, I asked her out, she said yes, call me back with details. I did. No response. Called again. No response. Finally got her on the line, and I asked her why she didn't return my call. She accused me of leaving a fairly obscene message on her voice mail. I pleaded with her, told her I didn't do it. Did a fairly good job, I thought. Then I realized....it didn't matter what I said or did, just then. There would be a lingering feeling of anger and fear, and there was nothing I could do to get rid of the aroma.
That's how I feel about this other thing. Whatever I did/didn't do, there's nothing I can do to get rid of those lingering feelings about how what I did is perceived. And, if I'm right and this is so....I dunno.
End of sermon. Enjoy your evening.

They have a phrase for that.

Actually, perhaps we will chat tonite, and I will explain to you what happened, and you can tell me what you think as well. What happened to your stalkerboy last night? I had to sleep. I feel sooooo lame when I go to sleep before 1...I have no stamina. :-P And I was late to work ANYWAY.
