Line by line. Unless you are real detailed. Then maybe letter by letter.

Avery, I'm not going to lie, a lot of the formative experiences that really jackhammered that lesson into my psyche happened in middle school. And I was creepy then, I did stalk girls, it was an ugly situation. Imagine a homeschooled mogli suddenly pumped full of testosterone and with a crazy fixation on high minded 19th century style romance terrorizing everything without a Y chromosome. So, to this day, long after I've learned all of the various lessons there it is still my habit to assume that any quality which I posess would be viewed by women as somewhat shocking and repulsive. The truth is that my ex found the photographic memory quite charming (but of course, in any quasi-stable relationship it's obviously less of a liability, your significant other would like to think you pay attention to them), although again, the fear of reliving one of those embarassing incidents prevents me from being too forward with details I pick up in such a manner.
At some point someone needs a detail, which pocket of the satchel does X keep their pens, she sent T in to find them and they can't, or it just happens to come up in some sort of misspoken outburst where I barge into a conversation to explain that Y is only on chapter 11 of the book you're discussing and the relevant plot arcs to the conversation aren't even apparent for another 83 pages, so will you idiots please stop going back and forth about this. And then, all of the sudden, I'm that creepy little jacked up mogli all over again and I sulk off ASAP.
Because these are people I see three times a week tops. And I never speak to them. But for some reason I know strange details about their lives. And when it comes out, sometimes they find it disconcerting.
Nietzche, the Bible and the works of Marquis de Sade are all the same, if you think about it. They are all obsessed with sex, death and transcending consciousness in some way and being better than other people. It's all bullshit, no offense, that's why I prefer stuff about meditation and not smiting or raping people. I think a person can transcend consciousness without being an asshole.
lol, alien, I do a similar bit with Marx and Adam Smith where I assert that as they are both materialistic calls to arms that advocate control of the means of production as a means to control the wider society the only significant difference between Wealth of Nations and the Communist Manifesto is the target audience.
On another note, I registered for community college today, but don't get to pick my classes for another week. I'm on a transfer agreement to UC Berkley. YAY!
I have the paper work in order to buy a house. This will be my first of many rental properties. It helps to know a broker. Maybe I'll get a real estate license and wear pinstriped sports coats.
@nkwilczy - I have to say I think a photographic memory would be great. Although i can kind of see your point. I tend to ramble and tell stories that don't seem to relate to anything, they just pop in my mind. I have a friend, and she has a photographic memory. She remembers every random thing I've ever told her, and it is creepy to an extent, because I forget telling her these things. So it becomes unnerving when she mentions certain things that happened to me years before we met.
My wife seems to remember every stupid or rude thing I have ever said and brings it up during an argument. I think that's just being a woman though. Kidding!
Today On The Patty Winters Show: Salad Bars.
Filthy things.
Is there a dirty joke in there, Dakota? About tossing salads? LOL
@averydoll - I'm under the impression there are only like 8 people in America with perfect memory, but yeah if you get too far from the center of the curve it gets creepy. I'll get someone a gift of something they mentioned not owning 10 months earlier, or eat dinner at there place once and know the layout of the kitchen for years afterward. It can bother them.
And I still can't remember names sometimes.
Hm. I have an excellent long term memory and a shit short term memory. I keep post-its with me at all times.
My ex had a great memory. It was fun at first, but then it just became a pain in the ass. I was still catching shit for stuff I had done a year previous. She was silly like that, though.
I hate when I forget to check in with my parole officer.
So does your parole officer.
There are three side effects of acid: enhanced long-term memory, decreased short-term memory, and I forget the third.
-Timothy Leary
Check it out! My paiting! It isn't me, but, fuck, I'm proud of it :D
Clicks "Like" button. Oops, thats offensive button.
@jacks - who told you about the acid??? Was it me? Did I forget again?
@Doll Yeah you told me about it. You sold me a strip of computer paper again. I want my money back!
*paranoid* I have to stop telling people things.
Or keep better records.
My hamster hasn't seen any cid around the blue grass since last year. Well theres always mushies. I'll shut up now.
T-Mobile is completely raping me on contracts. I can't wait until I can afford an Iphone and get rid of these bastards.
@alien & avery - No I like it when he misses, less work for me. Sucka!
"You will always get what you want through your charm and personality"
Oh, Fortune Cookie, how do you know me so well?
That is a cool painting.
thankyew ^_8
I agree with alien, nice work there.
There's an alien spaceship camping out by Mercury!!!!
wow! what's the alien's names? let's call one...steve!
I'd like to call him "Patches"
Just joined ATA college. Going to be a radiologist. Woo hoo!
Dakota -- *high five* Yay for college!
two more years till college! yay!
I talked with my councelor about majoring in linguistics and minoring in cosmology. She told me I can't have an arts major with a science minor: they both have to be either arts or science. Does anyone know if this is true?
Well, from my extensive knowledge of universities, I think that you choose linguistics and, say, english as a double-liberal arts major, and take several cosmology electives.
I don't want a double major. I want to major in linguistics and minor in cosmology! *stops foot on ground and crosses arms*
Hopefully then you can negotiate that. Or go to grad school.
Question: is it too much to have my cross-dressing Hungarian mute girl attempt to cut out her vagina, since she wants to be a boy?
How does one cut out.....? I don't know that the logic there follows exactly.
Mutilate, stab, or in an other way harm. Better?
I made a salad with spinach leaves and organic hearts of romaine. I added mandarin oranges and pineapple slices to it with black olives, honey, lemon juice, salt and pepper. I made my own red wine vinaigrette dressing to go with it too. I regret not adding almonds.
Paradise Cafe got nothin on me boy!
Post unrelated. Please answer my question
Drill her nostrils open with a power drill and duck tape her mouth. Fuck her nose until she suffocates on the jizz.
Oh I'm sorry, what was your question?
Hmmm. I don't know Typewriter. I don't think taking away is the right answer in that situation.
Easily solved: She finds a man, castrates him, sews it on.
Bam. Next.
I think that solution works well.
This is a fourteen year old girl. She pretends to be a boy at school, and does this because she wants to be a boy. In a moment of self hatred, she does it.
For weird experiences, try this: taking your ex to meet your current, your current and her friend stealing stuff, and making out with your ex...
I've decided that I want some sort of "like" button on my coffin when i die. Then we'll see what's up.
