  <description>so apparently ryan reads this journal even though i havent posted in a year or more&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;read this&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;you are walking away and i am sad about that becasue of all the energy i put into trying to salvage a freindship out of a merde romance.&amp;nbsp; everyone has told me this is the right thing to do &quot;dont talk to him he is a fucker.&quot;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;one day you will grow enough to what you did is beyond a sin but wrong to do to anyone. it felt good and you were happier and you are not sorry about the deed becasue it felt&amp;nbsp;right.&amp;nbsp; just because it feels right does not mean its right.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;and if you can let go of her and you do this again to other people you&amp;nbsp; will wear yourself out but worse. .. have you looked at the people you have worn out.&lt;br /&gt;another dead narcisist is what you shall be which is a shame because of that poor romantic soul of yours.&amp;nbsp; without women you are in the clouds and you have this pathetic air because you love women. i would know.. christ. dont poison yourself&lt;br /&gt;so if its love go ahead and do it because i want you to be happy&amp;nbsp; but if you are going to wait for hear get over it like i have for you.</description>

  <description>i missed school today to get my liscence &lt;br /&gt;which i failed to do because i was going 10 miles under the speed limit on a rural highway. &lt;br /&gt;also the instructor had such a fat ass he could not fit into the volvo seat.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;now i am at home and have nothing to do because i am too broke to get painting stuff and cannot drive myself to the art store.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i have an appointment with the shrink at 5;30 maybe he will take me off the medicine that makes it hurt to eat. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;the ski trip is tomorow i can hardly wait. although i swear this year cannot be as good as the last year. yes anything will pale in comparison to last year. meeting  ryan and all the good and bad that followed. i hate nostalgia but i cant help to reflect. i miss him alot right now but it will omly be a few more weeks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;wolf camera lost my film again....assholes</description>

  <description>i have been a bad bad updater&lt;br /&gt;my inconsistancy bothers me.&lt;br /&gt;going back to school was bad. worse that starting back from the summer. which is really bad.&lt;br /&gt;-------------&lt;br /&gt;break was nice for the most part. new years in gainesville was crunk. when cool kids are at a dance aprty there is good music. the mix was something like !!!, le tigre, oingo boing, madonna and paul wall. we ended  up at kroger around 2 in the morning. everyone in gainesville eats meat becasue its the chicken capital of the fucking universe. i bought an apple and 4 dollar kroger color film. after kroger we watched barber shop II and 1/3 of fight club 4 times. around 7 we went to waffle house and 9 of us ate for about 14 dollars.&lt;br /&gt;-------------&lt;br /&gt;i cant stand to look at another 16 weeks of school. its really bad now. i feel trapped. they put me on anti deppresants as of thurday but i would rather just have relief now.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i have a painting project/concept if anyone would buy or give me some paint that would be great.</description>

  <description>&lt;p&gt;so this is how it went down&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;against me&lt;/em&gt; kicked asssss: andrew didnt show, chris didnt show, alex didnt show, other andrew didnt show, claire didnt show up, paul did not show up, schroder did not show up&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;yes emma was alone at the show. but i met other cool people and i guy i have seem at alot of taj shows who could skank like a madman.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;against me&lt;/em&gt; was so great i have never worked that hard in a pit ... ever. wow&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;i got home at 1-12.24ish didnt sleep becasue i was too excited. the next day right dead after and exhausted empty day at school i headed off to &lt;em&gt;camp mikell. &lt;/em&gt;mikell was beautiful ive really never had such a spiritually moving few days. i had a great family group and they had really decent vegan food. [spinach salad and tomato soup for 3 days!] i feel fat now really.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;on the way back i hung out in gainesville with ryan and his cousin ean (pronounced ian or maybe he misspelled it i am not sure) we went to walmart and hackj0rd coke machines&lt;/p&gt;

  <description>this is not so much a mone as a few pieces of drywall and some doors. &lt;br /&gt;its cold outside and i havent taken off my michael jackson jacket and sweater all day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;my birthday was last week. i played croquet with kiki in the prk on the occasion. it way so s os so soosos much fun. even if the croquet was mediocore. boy were pretty much voilated. shopping carts were stolen. new amazing freinds were made. i also spent satuday and sunday hanging out with ryan. The five points halloween parade was a real horrowshow (i saw kiki once again, it has been determined we live parallel lives). it was particularly great being with him. because he is the only person who is not ultra voilent when we jump on the trapmoline. well usually. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;today i was abandon at the library or about 3 hours. roswell a good music section. i got a photo albun of CBGB&apos;s by david fucking byrne as well as a biography of the DC scene with an afterword by guy piccoto. as well as lots of out of print Nabakov (despair, ava, fame)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;listing the events of my life gets boring so i have turned to this. &lt;br /&gt;i have been reading a book on the minds of artistes and i have determined that my existance is that of one. i have alsofigured out that i am not alone in some of the self deprecatingh things i think and general aesthetic...that is if i can find more people whp think like me. it is at times lik;e this that i really miss SCAD and cannot wait to get into college .... somewhere</description>

  <description>&lt;p&gt;wowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwowwoww&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;tomorow lillie and i are meeting with dean freer because he has decided to consider revering the schools stance on GSA (gay straight alliance) this means that we could have one up and going in as little as two weeks !!!!!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;this is a huge step for the most conservative militant school this side of atlanta. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;i have been thrifting alot lately in search of the perfect &quot;janet&quot; or &quot;magenta&quot;&amp;nbsp;outfit for rocky horror. i did find a&amp;nbsp; red michal jackson billie jean jacket that i have been wearing even to sleep .i love it.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;monika took clair and i to rocky horror friday. my cousing andrew showed up and may have been a&amp;nbsp;little drunk. &quot;shes my cousing but i am not exactly sure how we are related.&quot; i asked him if he wanted to watch it with us he just said &quot;fruit&quot;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;against me sent me an email that i will post later . we are going to have sandwiches together in atlanta!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;my birthday is sunday.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

  <description>&lt;p&gt;many-a-things things are falling apart. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;...and everybody is so angry or just doesnt care, there is no middleground with 95 percent of people. and i am starting to hate the way i categorize people like this. but it seens my only means of organization. what a cruel and terrible thing. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;i started be realize how much i enjoy my senses today on the bus. i sat on the two steps that are near the ground on the front of the bus the whole way home. although it smelled like deisel it was nice rushing along a few inches above he pavement all 35 miles home.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

  <description>i need to get out of this house&lt;br /&gt;really&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;X isnt coming . i am going to kill whoever posted that on the masquerade website. i acutally hit my head on the table (by accident) when i found out.  a global threat is in 3 weeks though. there is a light! the completely terrible chariot show friday was good except for the actual music. some guy punched me in the pit but alex&apos;s bible teacher punched him back.  the scarriest part of that show was trying to climb the overpass with chris.  Before the show chris and i hung out at rolli polli. no wonder he hates his job. it was a nasty part of town, and resturant.&lt;br /&gt;ryan came back saturday. we talked for 8 hours sunday night . i got 45 minutes of sleep.&lt;br /&gt;i am running off of ritalin [which is starting to not work anymore]and a little caffine.</description>

Your neighbors help you take care of them, and you all share the milk. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;blacktextnb10&quot;&gt;APPLIED COMMUNISM: You have two cows. You have to take care of them, but the government takes all the milk. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;blacktextnb10&quot;&gt;DICTATORSHIP: You have two cows.

The government takes both and drafts you. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;blacktextnb10&quot;&gt;SINGAPOREAN DEMOCRACY: You have two cows.

You sell three of them to your publicly-listed company, using letters of credit opened by your brother-in-law at the bank, then execute a debt/equity swap with an associated general offer so that you get all four cows back, with a tax deduction for keeping five cows. The milk rights of six cows are transferred via a Panamanian intermediary to a &lt;st1:place w:st=&quot;on&quot;&gt;Cayman Islands&lt;/st1:place&gt; company secretly owned by the majority shareholder, who sells the right to all seven cows&apos; milk back to the listed company. The annual report says that the company owns eight cows, with an option on one more. Meanwhile, you kill the two cows because of bad fung shui. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;blacktextnb10&quot;&gt;FEMINISM: You have two cows. they get married and adopt a calf. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;blacktextnb10&quot;&gt;TOTALITARIANISM: You have two cows. The government takes them and denies they ever existed. Milk is banned. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;blacktextnb10&quot;&gt;POLITICAL CORRECTNESS: You are &quot;associated with&quot; (the concept of &apos;ownership&apos; is a symbol of the phallocentric, warmongering, intolerant past) two differently aged (but no less valuable to society) bovines of non-specified gender. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;blacktextnb10&quot;&gt;SURREALISM: You have two giraffes. The government requires you to take harmonica lessons. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;blacktextnb10&quot;&gt;COUNTERCULTURE: Wow, dude, there&apos;s like...these two cows, an. You have **got** to have some of this milk.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>
