simplicity

The most boneheaded thing last night was me losing the novel I was in the middle of. Although "middle" is relative since it's over a thousand pages. You'd think something like that would be hard to misplace, but I'm hear to tell you, it's not.

Anyway. I read another Sin City gn that Reg picked up, he's got all but #4 now, which is I guess because of the movie tie-in bullshit. Not that I'm complaining too loudly, but you know. Also read "Murder Mysteries" by Gaiman, or something. I think I missed something, though. But I always feel like that when I read his stuff.

(I just have to say that I feel like I sprained my thigh. Like a hamstring pull but in the back of the thigh. What fresh hell is this?)

Speaking of fresh hell, I will get to see Steve one last time before he leaves for Cali, when he returns my DVDs. No, I don't want to talk about it. He came by last night and we hung out, had tacos and churros and then watched the first episode of Deadwood again with him. He seemed pretty beat though, so he left after that. I took a soma and went to sleep with this gimpy leg.

More things happened but you don't want to know.

interview by madame_antibody

1. What is the biggest mistake you ever made.

Blowing off my independent study senior year. I've done/not done other things that probably made my life worse, but most of them it's only with hindsight that I see it. This was the only thing I consciously did that was fucking stupid.

2. What brings you joy?

A lovely day in Seattle that's not too hot or cold, and you can see the Mountain. Dancing to excellent live music. Cuddling Reg. Tiramisu melting on the tongue. Jane Austen.

3. Who is your favorite author and why?

Philip K. Dick has put a face to my paranoia. I've always had the idea of "everyone else is trying to convince you you're crazy" in my head, but he actually made a career out of re-writing that story over and over again.

4. Do you think the success of your romantic relationship has more to do with base compatibility with your partner or the fact you have learned from previous relationships. If it's a bit of both what is the percentage ratio? If it's neither what is it?

I'd say more to do with compatibility, since "learned behaviors" seemed to have been rewritten to deal with this relationship within 7 months or so. But the real success is due to sincere politeness when one of us fucks up, and genuine passion still lasting. Which I guess is due to the fact that we are both so fucking hot.

5. Are you racist? If so why? If not how do you deal with prejudice when you discover it affecting your perspective?

I would say I'm racist, in that I think some stereotypes more often fit certain races more than others, but I try to apply these equally to all races. But apart from hating asian girls I don't think I qualify. I think class/culture matters a lot more than race.

Comment here and I won't ask you anything!
But if you want to interview me too, that's fine.

3 songs in one!

So I've never really sat down and listened to Godspeed You Black Emperor! before. I'm opposed to 20 minute songs on principle, there's no reason the tracks couldn't have been cut up more I mean, but other than that I like it ok.

Although I think Mono is more fun to listen to.

if i gave you a party would I come

I am thinking of having a tea party at our place. There would be tea and cake. It would happen on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon, and I would have French Lounge music playing in the background.
