:: Sunday, October 26, 2003 ::

Sunday means that there is no mail, but that's okay because I saw Over the Rhine last night. It was fun. My date was my mom but that's kind of OtR's age crowd. Well, knock off about fifteen years and that's their crowd, but Mom has 81% of Camoflague so she's okay. It was funny though because I told her I would get my own drinks and she said, "No, no. You bought the tickets so I'll buy the drinks." She regretted that later, because I had a shot + beer every time the waitress came by. This morning she was going through her purse and had to borrow money off of me for lunch because "I didn't know I was drinking with a complete lush." Hehehe. What can I say? My level of tolerance is kind of like a deep sea trench in its capacity to hold liquid.

But enough about my ability to imbibe. OtR was at Canal Street Tavern and THE best venue I have ever seen a concert at. It's a converted church or pretends to be with it's stained glass windows and pew benches as seats. It holds 100 at the most and the staff is not so overly hip that they make you feel like a slug when you order. Everyone is awesome and just wants to have a good time.

The first singer was Griffin House. Why is it that guys with guitars are so very attractive? I dunno. But I talked to him after the concert and he's really cool. Mostly though his music is awesome. It's mostly acoustic guitars, but the songs and lyrics are stunning. I especially loved his song "The Way I Was Made" which was an oral history of his family. Could have been my family song too. His grandparents were in the audience that night too, so it was especially awesome when he sang that one.

The second singer was Jen Einan (I probably spelled that wrong.) She was good too, probably a better singer talent wise than Griffin, but I didn't like her stuff as much. Didn't resonate so much with the soul but there was one song that had the words, "Bring out the joy, bring out the song, you've been deep in my soul for too long" that was about longing for home and that struck a nerve.

But then came OtR. Oh yeah. I have had this concert built up in my mind since Anne got me stuck on them and it was awesome. It amazes me how Karen can belt it out with no effort. I wish I could play the piano like Lin. He was walking outside while we waited too showing that he is a "man of the people." ^_^ They did almost exclusive stuff from their Ohio album which I don't have because for some reason they don't sell CDs in Japan. But it hardly matters, does it? I am going to have awesome memories of all these new songs from the concert when I do get the CD. But they did sing "All I Need" which was w00000000000t! I lurv that song. I think I need to be a groupie or something. That would be fun. And on top of it, they're entire concert was a promotion of the BEST STATE IN THE UNION! O-HAI-YO YO YO!

On a bad note, Mickey D's was closed and I could not get my traditional after concert carton of lard and potato. Damn you Mickey D's!

They just had a thing about a) Remington Steele and b) Inspector Gadget on the I love the 80s series on VH1.

Skippy IS Dr. Claw. BUT HE WON'T DO THE VOICE IN FRONT OF OTHER PEOPLE.

And he makes me look stupid:
Skippy: I'll get your Gadget!
Me: OMGLOL!! Mom, come hear this. Do the voice, Skippy.
Skippy: Um. No.
Me: Do it!
Skippy: No. Nope.

DAMN YOU SKIPPY!

I took the Myers-Brigg test but it messed up and said I was INTP and not INTJ which I've tested as for the past twelve years. However the ratio between P and J was 51%/49% so it's almost too close to call. Still, I'm not an INTP. If you've ever read the description for INTJ you'd know it was me, especially the parts of the description that would be considered less than flattering. ^_^ Especially this bit because it was weirdly accurate. When under a great deal of stress, the INTJ may become obsessed with mindless repetitive, Sensate activities, such as over-drinking. I was at a party and was totally nervous and I had a glass of water and I think I got every molecule out of it, until this guy came up and was like, "There's no more water in there, why do you keep trying to drink out of an empty glass?"
Me: No, there's a drop of moisture on the lip right here! I can get it!
So odd.

Or this one. While their self-confidence and esteem is attractive, their lack of sensitivity to others can be a problem if it causes them to inadvertantly hurt their partner's feelings. If this is a problem for an INTJ, they should remember to sometimes let their mate be the one who is right, and to try to be aware of the emotional effect that your words have upon them. At which point I thought to myself, "Let them be right? Right and wrong are facts, not feelings. I will not ignore reality to let another person feel good about themselves, the hippies!"

INTJs can be insensitive and ignore feelings in case you didn't know that. ^_^ Here are some other faults of mine (isn't it wonderful to be so self-aware?)
May be intolerant of weaknesses in others. (Shishio is my hero. Er. Was.)
May believe that they're always right. (Believe? WTF.)
May be cuttingly derisive and sarcastic towards others. (Sarcastic? Never.)
May have an intense and quick temper. (Zero to psycho in three point one seconds.)

So scarily accurate. But it's not all biting sarcasm and flaring temper - INTJs are good. It's just that the good isn't quite as interesting. Sma sma sma!

I got my credit card bill yesterday. Well, we'll say "Yesterday + ten minutes" because it took that long to sort through the auto insurance offers, the new spiffy check designs, the application for a completely different cred it card, an ad for one of those dolls that is somehow supposed to represent liberty, and a collector plate featuring a majestic soaring eagle.

After I wrote my check for my bill, I put it and ALL THOSE PIECES OF JUNK MAIL back into the envelope and closed it. Kiss my ass credit card company. It's not enough that I am paying my bill in a timely manner - you also have to make me waste time hunting for the bill and then try and tempt me with your crassness. How about YOU buy the collector plate, 'kay?

I am writing between forty and fifty passages for the practice reading and comprehension tests that they give English students in Japan. They can run up to 700 words, but they follow strict rules for grammar and words that can be used, so it's not a matter of jotting off any old thing.

But I have a platform now - a platform to control the minds of more Japanese students. I started by writing a passage about obscure women in history. It's been fun. I think I'm going to do one on Bob Sapp and Omar Vizquel of the Cleveland Indians. Why? Because I can. Forty pieces of propaganda. Muwahaha.

Urgh. I've been out of sorts. Most of the problem is that I live with another Type A personality - my dad. Mix two Type As and you get, "Two pit vipers with PMS" as my mom likes to put it. She said sometimes she wants to put us in a sack and shake it up real hard and then take bets on who comes out alive.

So the fight was about waxing my car which he's been on my case about for twenty four hours. "I'm sorry if I'm not as excited as I should be about waxing my car." So he got mad because I wasn't all waxing gung ho and then I got mad at him for treating me like an idiot (yes I can open the wax by myself thanks a BUNCH.)

But he came home, I waxed the car, he said I should have been born a boy (because I take such good care of my car - oh and I can beat his ass at Lethal Enforcers), and we all lived happily ever after.

I do love my car and I do take better care of the Love Macheen than my brother does of his auto vehicle. I love to Armorall it inside and out (even though my Dad totally did that for me while I was waxing - teh bastard.) I take especial pleasure in its clean interior and its full washer fluid holder and its dipstick oil level and the clean-ness both inside and out. I <3 my car.

And Skippy, I do take better care of my car than you. <3

You know how sometimes when you don't like someone people will say it's because that person reminds you too much of yourself and your own faults? I think that was the reason I didn't initially like The Truth. But on the second reading I really really liked it because I realized that -

sometimes I am singing with a desperate kind of cheerfulness while gripping my cocoa mug for dear life because if I don't have that to hold on to I will let go.

And after accepting that, I felt better. Still holding onto the mug of course. And keeping an apple in the top drawer.

I know that some people go through life without that flaw, without walking around assuming the worst and knowing your 99.9% right about people without knowing why. Because it's obvious that lots of people will sink to the common denominator of hate, pain, and murder, but no one has found a satisfactory reason why.

It is assumed that even if you don't know why, you can overcome that common denominator and in fact, must do so in order to function as a person in society (unless you never get caught or have lots of resources to take the edges off the consequences.)

It's a matter of 'something dark and bloody.' Some leave it in the jungles of Vietnam, others make it through life without ever letting it out. Some even deny that they contain it. I wonder. I've thought that I've found a few people who were, in a word, incapable, but then I was proven right yet again.

They say cynics are miserable people. Are we? I find that if I keep my expectations low I'm rarely disappointed and very often pleasantly surprised.

There's a reason some parts of society exist - the military, law enforcement, a thriving hunting industry etc. Because if they didn't exist, people like me would have no where to go except underground.

Postulate: Sherlock Holmes was James Moriarty.

Or could have been.

I went to the Tim O'Brien book signing last night. I read "The Things They Carried" the last semester of college. The class I read it in plus the ROTC Leadership class I took that semester put me on the odd path that I am today so it is a very important book to me and being able to meet Mr. O'Brien was awesome.

You know how you have an idea about someone and then it's absolutely wrong? That was this. I should have figured it out from the last book signing I went to because neither Mr. Anderson nor Mr. Herbert looked like their picture , or they did but they were both about twenty pounds lighter. The same went for Mr. O'Brien. He was shorter than I thought too. (Yes, old cliche, I know. :) )

He read a chapter of his new book, "July, July" and then took questions all of which were really intelligent and none of which were asked by me. Mr. O'Brien doesn't outline, which is funny because last week the two authors said that they submitted a 182 page summary the first time they worked together. The Dune series is more plot intensive and the story needs a tight leash. Mr. O'Brien's works are thought intensive and he said he likes them to go where they want. It was funny when he said even he didn't know what happened in "In the Lake of the Woods."

And yes, I didn't puke on my shoes or do anything ridiculous like that this time. I shook his hand and told him that I was getting a book signed for a prof and then he asked from what university, so I told him. Then I said (in a breathless kind of fangirly way) that I went to Vietnam after I read the book and we had point two seconds to discuss that. He finished by saying, "Vietnam. It was haunting."

I assumed he meant his second trip, but I imagine it could apply to the first one too.

I'm at the Geography Computer Lab in the basement of one of the many brick buildings on the OSU Main Campus. Your question should be Why? Because April gave me the choice of sitting on a Grad Student Association meeting or using T1 connections.

What have I done? Had bubble tea, eaten Ethiopian food (teh guut, I highly recommend it to all and sundry unless you suck and don't like interesting food), have watched hours and hours and hours of last season's Buffy and Angel, and had long long conversations on all and sundry. Oh, and looked at her wedding pictorials.

Remember - grad school is so much work that you have to tape all your favorite shows and then you can't even watch them all in time to see the season premiere of Angel. Yeah. So think about that before you get your higher education.

We are overlords and luckily the universe hasn't imploded yet. You see, April and I have so much fun when we're together that the atmospheric Fun readings reach critical levels and sometimes dimensions are ripped apart. (We have a theory that if the two of us are at Tokyo Tower at the same time, X/1999 will look like an Amish cakewalk.) That is why when I was in Toledo, she was in Athens, when I was in Japan, she was in Ohio and when I am home, she is in Columbus. It's for the safety of the planet and all.

I have to go and graze. I hope that this Sunday I can go to the Renaissance Faire. I've never been to one.

Nik, you and I are connected by the fangirl hivemind. :)
