sharing an apartment with a woman who refused to change the catbox (i
had two cats, she one) or wash dishes. i've never lived with a male

be. but mostly, when i wrote that, i was fresh from a couple of
incredibly annoying/frustrating experiences with guys i know. 

i think women are no more inherently frustrating than men, though. it
all depends on what your preferred gender for romantic relationships
is -- that's the one that's gonna drive you up the walls. sigh.

i realize the folly of this wish, but sometimes it would be restful to
know how the story ends. nothing in my life has ever been predictable
more than a few months in advance; i never know how things are going
to turn out until they do. my sister has a deep faith in her god and
her life is fairly tranquil and placid; even when unexpected things
happen, she has a sort-of plan for dealing with them. her religion is
convenient, kinda like an icing tube: she puts in this glop of life
and out comes a manageable stream that she can use constructively. i,
on the other hand, usually end up with a double-handful of glop. it's
not incredibly unpleasant, but it does make opening doors difficult.

like men are any easier to live with? roight. you couldn't prove it by
me. they're difficult at best and downright annoying otherwise. in
fact, one of the few good things about not having an s.o. is not
having to put up with men. (why, no, i'm not stressed at my ex and at
my various male friends and at...)

bleah. obangst: i had forgotten that i'd promised my friend i'd go to
a seminar with him tonight, and he showed up just as i was leaving my
house and dragged me off, so i got to spend the evening in shorts and a
t-shirt in a room full of women in dresses. and it was a scuzzy
t-shirt and shorts, cause i was planning to spend part of the evening
doing laundry.

obAngst1 - doing the once in a lifetime (well, so far) thing and going to
           England. Knowing that *everything's* expensive over there, and
           facing the prospect of having to do the 17.9% Visa card advance

obAngst2 - Holding an angstcon in a country where lots of the women sound like
           Rachel.

Do any of you uk types (Nick, Rachel, whomever) have any suggestions or helpful
hints on sucessfully invading England?  (Besides looting the Tower Armories and
the Wallace Collection. I'm already planning on that).

Yep, especially since she copped that line from the MC900ft Jesus song

Angst:  one of my motorcycles started making expen$ive tinkly
engine noises yesterday, so instead of going for a ride I wound up
at my girlfriend's house helping her put up a screen door and
drinking beer to forget about the bike.  Unfortunately I'd
forgotten about the allergy drugs I'd taken earlier, so I spent
the rest of the day in a drug-induced torpor instead of the
mild buzz I'd been aiming for.

Bleah.

I've known this for years! (or at least long suspected it.)  Why do you
think Dan (or should I call him "Dann-Tar of Vogo-7"?) was harrassed a
couple of years ago by CIA operatives who beat him about the head and
shoulders screaming "what's the frequency, Ken?!"  Remember that?

There can be only One Explanation: the CIA knows that "Dan" is, in fact,
an alien.  They were hoping to molest him into revealing the secret
frequency used by other alien agents to communicate with the mother ship
that's in orbit on the far side of the moon.

"That's part of our world tonight," indeed.
