We're Headed Up My Mom's Ass!

I didn't go to the Dog Day/Sharp Like Knives show tonight because I have to study for my Sociology mid-term. That is alright though, I will see Smooth Like Kanye this weekend when they play the motherland (Cape Breton).

What isn't alright is the lack of toilet paper in this place, what am I to do, knit some for myself? I bought the last round so I tried to figure out whether or not one of my roommates would ante up and buy some cotton, nothing doing! So now it's time to take a study break and head out for the Irving.

Every day this week I'm going to present a different 'Of The Week/Of The Month' website. I've been fascinated by 'Of the Week' sites like this since I first discovered 'Skin Disease Weekly' in high school. Crass and repugnant and a great way to justify access to the World Wide Web in high schools.

Malady of the Month

Today I'm an asshole and I won't accept that that's just how the cookie crumbles.

A few years ago I made a ridiculous pro-life word jumble that I thought was pretty hilarious. I made sure to include all the buzzwords one could handle. I guess in my zeal to try and make a joke or 'push the envelope' I included more righteousness than one could actually handle.

I want to feel at once incredibly sensible, intelligent,humourous and well liked, I routinely find myself falling short of those goals. I'm trying to decide whether it's because I'm a loveable fuck-up that sets the bar too high or is that I'm truly a callous jerk.

Sometimes I think scratching away my skin will remove the callouses. Like some terrible Jawbreaker imagery come to life ('Brush my teeth until they break, until they start bleeding/So when I smile I'll know I'm almost good enough for you')
It just makes the wound raw.

When I get anxious I actually do scratch my skin. It's because of eczema. It makes me look like a leper and I'm not, I just got bad genes. Yesterday I was anxious for some reason or another and I ended up scratching a good portion of my finger. I ended up getting laundry detergent all in my wound and damnit if it hasn't stunk all day. I hate being reminded me that sometimes I'm compulsive to a fault.

12 Feb 2005 - I hate Valentine's Day!
Dear Diary,
I hate Valentine's Day!!Especially that I'm alone. It sucks...
"Valentine's Day is a creul,evil holiday that exists solely to pour lemon juice on the papercut hearts of the unattached."
Isn't that great?! I love it... it's just like Valentine's Day.Even if people have someone to share it with they never know what to get them. It's so hard. But I'd rather have someone and not know what to get them than be where I am right now and not have anyone.lol. Anyways... I've got a cold... I'm gonna go have my mommy rub my back.lol.TTYl.

If you can't spell 'cruel' then you have bigger problems than Valentine's Day.

It's Valentine's Day
And I didn't get no chocolate
It's Valentine's Day
If I had a heart I'd hock it
It's Valentine's Day
All I have to say
I hate Valentine's Day

I wish you were still homeless, ok maybe not homeless, how about just without access to a recording studio.

Valentine's Day
I have no idea what to get Curt for Valentine's Day. Its really pissing me off. I asked him last night what he wanted, and he said nothing, but I know he was just being a pisshead. I suggested we go out to eat, because we never do that, and he said okay, but its on a Monday and he works nights. How are we going to do that? I guess we'll have to go sometime on the weekend. I hate Valentine's Day. My friend Vito made up a holiday. February 15th, Anti-Valentine's Day. Where you cover your candy hearts with arsenic and pass them out to everyone you hate. Obviously, we never actively celebrated, but it was still fun to talk about!

You have no guts, Brenda Spencer had guts. She hated a day (Monday) and she did something about it. You're all talk.

Bennett Madison, author of "I Hate Valentine's Day," agrees that the contrived day is extremely uncomfortable. "If you're not in a relationship, the whole day is designed to make you feel guilty," he says. "If you're in a relationship, it becomes this strange negotiation with the other person of like, how much do you care about this? If you take it too seriously you're being too cheesy, but if you don't take it seriously enough, you're showing you don't care."

Negotiations? This ain't no test ban treaty, it's deciding what you want to do on a fucking Monday night.
