Twelve hours of sleep has improved my outlook a bit. I recognize that I am cultivating a sour, shitkicker attitude in order to tough out this next phase of the collapse of my personality. Like, I'm getting pissed off at my friends so that they won't be a reason to stay here. (Not you, Todd & Matthew.) I'm not working hard to keep track of a certain ( Read more... )

No, I don't. I have some people who call themselves my friends, but I hate them.

It's amazing how much a good night's sleep can affect one's mood.

next phase of the collapse of my personality

What part of your personality is collapsing? and why do you want it to?

Ever thought of temporarily giving the cedar chest to a close friend until a time when you're ready to reclaim it? I've done that with a 30 year old, 6" tall corn plant named Henry that's been in our family for, well, 30 years. I refuse to let him be in the care of strangers, so when my life changed and I couldn't keep him anymore I gave him to my sister, with the understanding that I get him back eventually.

My personality isn't really collapsing. Some cruft is falling off of it.

When David Fisher is having PTSD problems and Claire goes to Nate and says, "You have to go back, he'd do it for you," I was all, "No one would do that for ME." So, I don't know who to lend my cedar chest to.

You made me google again. Twice. I'm slightly addicted to Six Feet Under.

I have that effect on women. Yo, I can't get into gmail this weekend for some reason, which is why I have not answered what I assume is a scintillating email from you. (I assume because I haven't read it.)

Yes, if your books are signed "nom de plume Von Doom".

I'm into short-term personality collapses. So although I stopped playing violin for ten years, I've started to perform. Two nights ago it was in front of at least 60 quiet, staring people, many of who I knew, all of them there to see Daniel Higgs (Lungfish) read poetry. I did one thing, stopped, went outside and wept, but got a weird high afterwards so I'll have to put myself through that again.

This girl I think is the bee's knees went out to talk to me (most people didn't notice I was going insane) and said that she wants to copy something I did (which I was proud of) and that she always is wrecked from performing, and that made me feel better. I didn't trust my friends at first who said it was good, but now i do a little.

If I were a violinist, or a cellist or a violincellist, I would use the name Boone Von Boone. You can have that one, tink.. or even Boone Tink Von Boone.

That is pretty good (i'm not so good with names. It costs $15 to change the livejournal username so i'm stuck).

I would only drink sweet, cheap wine with that name, and would never have to buy it myself.

It would be funny if you contrasted it with a more banal name. "Dave Von Doom"

Colin Von Doom is really that exotic?

Let's all change our names to Von Doom. Flux Von Doon. Manty Von Doom. MJ-12 Von Doom. The Von Doom Family Singers.

Manty Von Doom sounds really cool.

I was talking to my friend who is getting married in the spring and is planning on having kids shortly afterward yesterday, and I was encouraging him to approach corporations to see if they will sponsor their child if he names them after their company product. His last name is Jones, so I came up with iPod Jones, Sony Jones, Dell Jones, and Sprite Jones. The thing is, they sound just as good as most names people actually give kids. His real first choice for a son is Isaac, and is that realllllly that far off from iPod? Is Sony so different from Tony? I mean, it's not like all of those shitty names people are giving their kids these days. Definitely a step up!
