watching an arts & entertainment special on the church of scientology. i'm kinda puzzled how l. ron hubbard ever got that crock off the ground. just looking at the guy makes it painfully obvious that he's completely full of shit.

stock video: l. ron sitting in an arm chair explaining his "philosophy".
darting eyes, nervous smiles, twitching hands.

he's babbling on about "engrams", "auditing", and "the reactive mind", but it's pretty obvious the only thing that's going through his head is: "heh. i can't believe these people are buying this crap. hello, malibu!"

just got off the phone with my best friend. We compared notes on our lives, which are kind of at weird poles right now. i have money and a good job, but circumstances force me to live in a cultural backwater away from anything (and anyone)interesting, with no one to get into real conversations with. She, on the other hand, lives in Portland with a lot a firends around, but lacks money or a secure job. Plus, how shitty is this? She's going to be in Detroit visiting her family when I am in teh UP, then I will be in Detroit when she's up in the Lake Superior region, and we will totally miss each other.

Now i am really lonely. I was just numb before, but now it's fresh, and I miss having friends to go out to get coffee with and enjoy measl with and go to the movies and shows and the zoo...sigh. Not the porper mood for the friday night of your 4-day weekend, huh?

Or if she has a sister... or why I'd even worry about it... I've always been a loner and had little need to chase/like. I'm usually the pursued. The forbidden fruit is always the sweetest.

sarah is:

it's not about the fucking money. i could give a flying fuck about a hundred bucks or ten thousand bucks.

it's about American Beauty. it's about doing whatever the fuck you want to do, without fear of consequences, even if that means disappointing your family, your daughter, the oner person in the world who gives a fuck what happens to you. it's about making selfish decisions for your entire life and having your daughter love you unconditionally. it's about alcohol abuse and fast food. it's about taking your daughter's birthday money from her grandmother, instead of selling your motorcycle to pay rent. it's about not holding up your end of the bargain, about not being a part of a two-person team.

it's about saying Fuck You to love and to trust.

you really only have yourself in this world, and that's what this is about.

dear sarah,

let it be. forgive and forget. blame the victim. Weenieism in its most blatent manifestation. Consider the source; hedging the bets in case this comes up later in life. Casting no stones.

Alcohol abusers can NEVER be trusted; I know because I am one.I know nothing about parent relationships; i suspect they cannot be trusted either. this is only about you and yours, not anyone else or anyone else's father.

If this and If that. do whatever makes you feel ok. never mind the vapid sophomorisms.

I made out with a boy I hardly know yesterday. What I was even doing in his room I do not know. I should be ashamed of myself (I know none of you can empathize with this, but I feel like I should be ashamed. it's very unlike me. and it wasn't even that serious.) but I'm not really. I mostly ignored him when I saw him today. It wasn't personal, I just felt shy.

If I have the opportunity to do it again next week I will. It's been a long time since I've "made out". Lately it's been jumping right to foreplay. Does anyone else see the fine line between making out and foreplay? No one I know seems to get it.

Two things I remember: (1) he was very easy to kiss. It had nothing to do with him as a person, just that his style was very simple and I was glad for it. And (2) he kissed my stomach. I never knew I was so sensative there.

This is very mundane compared to so many other peoples posts around here, but to me it's a big deal. If you knew me you would understand. I can't believe I did that. I can't believe I'd do it again. I'm not even really attracted to the guy. But it made me feel all sparkly when he kissed my stomach.
