Every journey conceals another journey within its lines

[lishesquex]

1) I got my car serviced today, at Glen Waverley UltraTune. -$155.

2) I'm reading "Sexing the Cherry" by Jeanette Winterson. So far there has been no sex, or lesbians, or cherries of any sort. The writing is full of her usual philosophical vagueness, fairytale poetics and biblical allusions, which I both love and hate. Happiness is not a potato. + 1 reading skill

3) Straight girls are driving me crazy. Like, completely INSANE. +100000 frustration

4) Mum took up yoga. o.O +100 weirdness to the normal order of things

5) I'm flirting with the idea of applying for a job opening in a Catholic school in the UK. + 50 evidence that I have lost my mind (refer to point number 3).

6) I have decided Neverwinter Nights completely fails as an RPG.  Complete fail.  +100 fail.

7) I will leave you now with some Jeanette Winterson vagueness:

The Hopi, an Indian tribe, have a language as sophisticated as ours, but no tenses for past, present and future. The division does not exist. What does this say about time?

Matter, that thing the most solid and the well-known, which you are holding in your hands and which makes up your body, is now known to be mostly empty space. Empty space and points of light. What does this say about the reality of the world?

-- Jeanette Winterson

Although, actually... the Hopi do have ways of referring to time (i.e. tenses), but they're divided into two basic states instead of three.  "Objective", everything that is knowable and measurable, including the past and present; and "subjective", everything that is mental, spiritual or conjectural, including the future.  /geek

Re: #3 - I'd say it's more like you're driving yourself insane. Which, you know, is rather normal for you. :)

I'll leave you with this:

Maybe I should word it better: I am driving myself insane... BECAUSE OF STRAIGHT GIRLS.

Lol, Willie Stroker.

Lmao. You know when you've watched a film too many times when you read 5) and your brain goes 'Loving Annabelle! Loving Annabelle!'. Where is the school?

[lishesque.livejournal.com]

Lol, that film is... man. *doesn't think about it*

Um, it's in Dorking, Surrey. Wherever that is. Near London, I presume.

[quew.livejournal.com]

I vaguely know where that is. My brain says it's to the south of London and about 90mins/two hours away from me...having said that, my grasp of geography is not great :D

[lishesque.livejournal.com]

90 mins isn't all that far away... :D

Whenever I see my name with correct spelling anywhere I immediately go (!!). And then I see the "W" and think, zomg are you writing about me? But then I see the "interson" and then think, ahh okay. Not me. But it happened like 3 times in your post. "Me? What.? Oh wait.. no." x 3

I tried to play Neverwinter Nights once, it made me feel giddy and motion sick.

Which straight girl is driving you crazy? Is it.. you-know-who..? (Actually I don't even know who I'm referring to. Do elaborate)

[lishesque.livejournal.com]

Lmao, you amuse me so. JEANETTE W....... INTERSON.

Yes, the motion sickness is fail! And their map system is stupid.

I'll tell you on msn. :P

Straight girls are driving me crazy too.

Yeah, we're pretty far away from them so we weren't in any danger. :)
