If he's that hungry, why didn't he just eat his shirt? (Repost from 2002)
So, over in Sanspoof's Journal, I was buggin' her to repost ancient journal entries, an' since I noticed I've had my Livejournal since 2001, I reckoned turnabout's fair play. Following here is an entry from Eight years ago (I started in October of 2001, so I can't quite go back a decade):
====================================================
Planned to go into DC for that Poetry slam thingy... Didn't. Again. No real worries. I want to go to it one of these nights, but a good time was had... We went to Chinatown for some good Chinese food, then came back home. We would have liked to walk around a bit more, see what we could see, but it was a bit cold for such, and lotsa places were closed.
As we got out of the train at th' Chinatown station, a small, meek lookin' guy walked by, and his face Totally lit up when he saw Kelli. He looked at her like she was a long-lost friend, and said "Excuse me, are you in the sign of Virgo?" She awkwardly replied that she wasn't. When she told him that her birthday was June 26th, he proceeded to enthusiastically tell us about whose stars were within whose powers and influences etc. He politely broke it off by telling us that her birthday would land on a Friday this year, to which Kelli said "Thank you" and we went our separate ways.
June 26th, 2002 is going to be a Wednesday.
Last night, me, Kelli, an' Robyn spent the night over at Matt's place. It was Robyn's idea, the idea of having a "sleepover party"... Great idea. I felt bad that Kelli was sick, because when I think "sleepover" or "camp-out" or whatever, I always like staying up late. Like, later than everyone around me. And I wanted to stay up and talk and hang out, but Matt was working the next day, Kelli was feeling sick, and when I went up to hang out with Robyn after everyone else was asleep, she had nodded off herself. Ah, well. A fun time all the same.
We watched Heavy. It carries my recommendation. It's a difficult to advertise movie, and that appeals to me. Any description I've seen reads something like "Story of a fat guy". But it's a good narrative.
Made poor Kelli kinda bummed out, tho. Next time, she'll get to pick the movie.
For them cats what like the Puzzle games, I heartily recommend "Magical Drop 3". Why so many cool puzzle games were made for the Neo Geo, I'll never know. But good stuff they are.
I've upped my date now, so borf I go.

====================================================
It's crazy to read this, because I was recounting precisely this anecdote (the crazy astrology guy) to a friend recently. It's comforting that my little anecdotes that I still recall to folks are all filed away in my journal's back history. I'm sure there all sorts of cool apps that can tell me the number of times I use the word "Buttsex" or whatever. I should investigate the fun things I can do with an "Eight years of journal" dataset. I ought to look back more often. Good stuff, that.
