This morning there was a long, diagonal spider web in my kitchen, trailing three feet or more from a corner to a lamp on my table.

I’ve never seen a spider make a web like that. I’ve seen webs like that before, but I’ve never sat and watched a spider spin one.

I have to wonder…does the spider look out, pick a spot, and then crawl across the gap on the floor, trailing a too-long web behind, then climb up to the spot it saw, anchor the web, and take in the slack…

Or does it just jump the gap?

Either option worries me, because a spider seeing three feet away is like me staring at footprints on the moon.

I haven’t taken a quiz in ages, so – OVERKILL!

You are Gambit! You are a fierce fighter and a good friend to have.
Your preference for solitude and your
attractiveness make you very intriguing to
those you meet. Unfortunately, close
relationships are few and far between for you
because you often have trouble opening up to
others.

What Matrix Persona Are You?

Who are you? No one would even know your name or
who you are. No one may even know what you
really look like. You would be known by a
series of names since you would go under many
aliases and have a number of disguises. You are
very clever and creative, and would almost
always be one step ahead of the authorities.
You would make sure no evidence of your
horrible murders would be left behind, and if
it is, no one would know it was you. You
sneaky, elusive person…authorities would have
hard time trying to catch you. You would
definitely be the mystery criminal. People may
not even know the your killings are all from
you. You would really be a threat to the
public.

What Would Your Serial Killer Name Be? What Would the Public Know You As?

I am in a strange mood…Money trouble, school trouble, girl…trouble? Maybe not girl trouble…it’s very late/early…we are on a four day vaction from school, and being unemployed/employed at school, I’ve had truly nothing to do for three days, so my schedule quickly inverted. I think I crawl into the dark because i have a weak self image (Literarlly and only self image, as opposed to ego and self worth – those I have in plenty, but that doesn’t stop me from not having an identity…).  I have so much on my mind, I’m just going to whip out a xanga I’ve seen a lot of people do: Little known facts about me:

1. I speak spanish. My dad grew up in mexico and I lived in spain…this is odd for most people because I look so very white.

2. I’m armed most of the time. I had a job that was rather dangerous for a while, and I got in the habit of always carrying something, usually a can of extra-strong pepper spray or a collapsable baton. I don’t have the job anymore, but I still grab something out of my ‘magic drawer’ most mornings. For some reason this embarasses me.

3. I’m a closet raver. I listen to oodles and oodles of techno.

4. I hate the noise a pencil makes when scratching on paper.  I hate it to a nails on the chalkboard degree.

more to follow.

I’ve been fired, I think.

Here’s the situation: my jobs at the college were work study. You are only supposed to have 15 hours/week at a work study, but I thought I was OK for having two…I thought they were seperate. I didn’t think the job at the paper was a work study, actually.

Come to find out, it is…so I’ve worked an entire workstudy worth this semester. The lady at the office wants me to just stop working so that she can just pay me for the second half ot the semester every couple of weeks. So… I’m jobless, but collected a long, drawn out severance? It’s quite weird.

In other news: Sparky got the Comic out on time, and I got the Paper out on time…5 seals left.

Heh. A funny exchange took place today. We were at level12, and Kris, the tit, gets up and announces that he was going to “Go help Capidigma with her paper.” Note that he said ‘Capidigma’ aloud.

“Kris, honey,” I said, “When we call one another by our internet names in person, we are falling towards dorkdom.”

“Yeah,” he replies, “But Capidigma is way easier for people to remember.”

You are Tyler!!

Which Fight Club Character Are You?
brought to you by Quizilla

Took the fight club quiz. So horribly suprised that I was the total bastard from the movie.

I have decided to make proper use of the multimedia capabilites of html and do a photolink essay about something that happened to me today!

So, anyway,  my first face to face meeting with Capidigma occured today.  It was funny.

You need a little background on her and another local xangite, DirtyVicar.

DirtyVicar is a guy with a weird personality. One way to put it is to say that he is an intelligent, sweet man, made bitter by an non-understanding world.  Another way to put it would be to say he’s an evil bastard with a malignent, overclocked brain and a vile sense of humor. Both are correct.

Capidigma, on the other hand, is what you might call a “firecracker” or a “spitfire.” She’s an petite, assertive girl with “moxie.” She’s got a lot of “moxie.”

Also, physically, Vicar is a 6’2″ guy built about like Crispin Glover (wired about like him too), who looks and dresses more like a rock muscian/cartoonist with a day job in a greasy kitchen then anything else, while Capi is a very presentable, normal looking female person, who looks like maybe a retail worker/student.  (note my complex derivation of profession from appearance. I am a trained pyschologist).

So these two are engaged in a little verbal sparring, gentle jibing, that kind of thing, and she says something to the effect of not knowing him good enough to hang out with him, to which he says something along the lines of “You don’t like me? Awww, isn’t that a shame.”

And she replies with one of the most profound, succinct observations on Vicar I’ve heard in weeks: “Oh, no, I think you’re funny as hell. You’re just weird and unstable and I’m not sure you are safe to be around.”

Reading it, it’s not as funny as when you are there, but it cracked me up.

It’s fun to introduce friends to friends!

well I’ll be damned. Japanese people do some weird stuff.

Fight Club!

Yet another quiz, yet another “you are a bastard” answer. . . I’m gonna have to start lying on these things.

I just thought of a funny name for a porn last night while eating dinner with fleener and grundie. It would be a historical softcore about a young lad working his way up from the gutter on the bootstraps of a hot dominatrix. The title: Fellatio Alger.

Edit: Beautiful and terrible
