ZK

That the daughter whose attentions most aggravated his affliction was the person he least wanted to be seen by in the grip of this affliction was the sort of Devil's logic that confirmed a man's pessimism. The Correctionspg. 67

Picked up New End Original's Thriller***1*** and Jeff Magnum Live at Jittery Joe's. He being the singer of Neutral Milk Hotel, a band that Marcie HATES. I used to play it all the time whenever he was sleeping just to get back at him for making me sleep on the top bunk three inches from the ceiling. "Oh Comely" would probably give him nightmares if he hears it again. Neither of these discs has spun yet, though, since I am in Christine's room using her computer and the cat is sleeping and I don't want to wake her up. No, I haven't become a cat-lover, just a cat-diplomat. It still can't go in my room.

Who am I kidding, I barely ever go in my room.

Marcie is correct in saying that he shouldn't have to mop up other people's messes. My contention, however, is that when another person verbally accosts an entire population of your friends, that they will continue to do such things so long as they know that all you will do is nothing. I am a proponent of non-violence***2*** but I also believe that 9/10 fights and conflicts can be stopped cold by letting the other person know that you are not afraid and will not take their shit. Those kids can't and won't say asshole things to me without me saying something back. Or Pip B. Broke, in this case. Closed.

I know have applications to San diego State and Indiana University's MFA programs. Deadline: Feb 1st.

Jonathon Franzen is a god. Of some kind.

Next five: "are you wearing a wire" by hey mercedes; "Lukewarm" by new end original; "slide yer ass" by the spinanes; "You talking to me, guy? Cos I'll sock yer fricking nose!" by the lane featuring Marcie the street shit talking man; and "we laugh indoors" by death cab for cutie.

In the stereo: billie sleeping.


***!***this album title, along with Death Cab For Cutie's "THe Photo Album" are two that I really thought someone else had used before. No, I don't mean the King of Pop. I just always assumed that somebody else had reused "Thriller" and that someone (likely candidate: any terrible late 90's Mineral clone) hadn't taken "the photo album". Maybe cos it's just so....obvious?
***2***And non-drinking and driving.
