Old friends
Got a call, my caller ID says "Mel" for Miss melladonna and I answer, of course.
A male voice tells me hello. With the voice, I can tell that it was done through a smile.
I am confused. Who is calling me from Mel's phone? Is this Mel making a Man-Voice for an undiscernable reason?
"Im calling for your infamous nickle-head!" and more snickers.
The only people who play that joke with me anymore are Alex and Jess... but this is not EITHER of their voices! What the fuck?
In the background I hear, "HI!! I love you, Zana!".. and that IS Jess that I hear in the background...
This strange man who is apart of our inside joke from Highschool, who knows Mel AND Jess, and would visit a hellhole like Cheney...
*DING DING DING!*
MORGAN!!
Morgan and Cassandra are back in town!! YAY! They have escaped the brutal wastelands of Alaska and have come to Spokane for a visit before moving to Tacoma!
Morgan and I made a future date to see The Dead Sea Scrolls in Seattle next month! Sadly, I dont know anyone in real life, excepting him, who would actually be excited to look at pieces of degraded 1,200 yr old papyrus/parchment written in a half-dead language in a totally dead dialect (let alone the fact that its bits of The Bible) for 2-4 hours with me.
I miss Morgan.

On to boy-girl matters.
Boys and girls are equallys stupid in completely different ways.
Boys need everything spelled out to them like a nursery rhyme. It needs to be simplistic, straight-forward and in plain English. Hoping they can get through one serious conversation with their girlfriend without hearing the words "... and that makes me feel [blank]"
Girls are these mutable creatures who can't say ANYTHING straightforwardly or ask for what they want in plain English, and have to describe everything in metaphoric terms or using crazy analogies about ponies and bicycles. And, we are so stupidly empathetic that if we make guys feel bad, we feel bad for making them feel bad which makes us feel worse which makes them feel worse and its A DISGUSTING CYCLE!
By the way, talking about feelings makes you feel like the stupidest person on the face of the planet. We need to find a telepathic way to communicate feelings so we wont have to scramble for stupid words in a completely inadequate language. Not to mention that two people can use the same words and mean two entirely different things. Talking is stupid. Feelings are also stupid.

Other matters:
PBS is awesome.
Ancient history is my bread and butter.
Ancient art meeting ancient history is my god-send.
Right now Im watching a documentary on the history of storytelling, from oral to written to visual art.
All I have to hear is the word "Assyria" and I get all goose-pimply in anticipation. Mentions of "Mycene", "Byzantium" or "Minoa" are likely to make me faint in excitement. "Hellenistic" and "Athenian" also have that effect on me. Also the periods of Greek history, "Doric" "Ionic" and "Corinthian" are also likely to do so, to a slightly lesser extent.
Of course Isreal, Iraq and the Balkan area are in constant turmoil! Being the cradle of civillization, the history stretches back 10s of thousands of years in the area. They have 6,000 years of history building the first cities and writing the first language in the world!
Western civillization has only been in effect for half of that length of time, and look at the turmoil WE'RE in!
