Ok I know it's been forever... I was waiting for the pics and stuff to get fixed, but j.im isn't doin it... and i don't know how :( well I have had a very interesting couple of weeks... I solved the boy problem and have a wonderful boyfriend, i completely changed around my sleeping schedule, 3 AM seems like a perfectly acceptable bedtime to me. I am still working at the hell hole, I might have cancer, and I have a lot of new CDs. Do you ever feel the need for petty vandalism? I do. We got the urge last night (urge?) and so Mike and I went to po dunk nowhere by the river and got "Slow Children Playing" and put it in his living room, so that's the first thing you see when you walk in to the apartment... that sign and underneath him and his roommate playing video games. We also got "Bump" and put it above his bed (a command?) and then one of those fire hydrant signs with a down arrow and put it above his toilet. Haha. We are funny kids.

Posted By: A few of mer's favorite things

Ok: here are some things I just love: the fact that our pics aren't showing up, I think that is terrific. Also the fact that my cat is deranged and is trying to take my wrist pad away from me by clawing it to death. that is great. Other than that, my hamster is strolling along on her wheel, going nowhere, but she does it night after night.... things are good. Someone's making oatmeal. At my house that's not much of a surprise. We take the oatmeal making/consuming gold metal. We actually buy our oatmeal in bulk. that's right, bulk. raisins too. i'm having a blast with my new cd burner, damn me and my firewire capabilities! tacks on an extra $200 to the price, but what can you do. I gotta have that speed baby. speed.

Mary mother of god, is it true? is Atom really coming to 10 weston on May 13th?? if this is false, I will surely throw myself out of my third story window and hope for a quick death. Well, I'm going to email him and check, since the web site is devoid of tour dates (or at least i'm just too dead tired to find them)..... I have all of my digits crossed, then crossed on eachother. My toes even. And for anybody who's seen my feet, you know I have tater tot toes and this just isn't natural. Laundry, ho!

What goes with Eastown better than Mustard Plug? Yesterdog or Wilcox Park maybe, but that's about it. Our world famous (hey, they've toured in japan) ska band is at the Intersection tonight, fun stuff! Ian's band Carlton is opening up, and another band that I can't remember the name of, but it will be fun. And hot. Last time I was there it was to see Less Than Jake, the end of August, extremely hot, and I had too much alcohol hiding in my backyard. It was an experience. Apparently they've redone the Section, so it's not so trashy and scary. Let's hope so. Too bad I have to go to work a 9 AM tomorrow.... Doesn't leave my evening open to much after the show. Ahh well, I need the sleep.

Posted By: Mer ... sweet jesus, holy crow, almost summer.

You got me, I don't believe in jesus. But I like to use it as an expression. It puts a certain emphasis on whatever I'm trying to say. Like if I say "holy christ, that onion is large!" then you really get the feeling that man, this onion is pretty big. Because what if I just said, in keeping with my root vegetable example, "that onion is large." that would sound like just a random statement and there would be no emphasis on the extreme enormity of said onion. I also like to say "Holy Crow!" because I think that expression is truly great. If you would like to join me in bringing that expression back, I would greatly appreciate your support. At this point, my sister's boyfriend Ben and I are the only two people on the planet who think that is a hip thing to say. Say, have any of you tried rosewater? it smells really good. I have purchased some from my local bastardized health food store and boy, I sure love it. Just a few thoughts from MerBear, who is out of school on THURSDAY!!!!

Posted By: Mer :

Alright, so last night I had some disturbing dreams. I dont know what these say about my damaged psyche, but give me some help here. In the first one I was up at my cottage and the people who live on the property next to us had my cat and he had turned blue. And the only way to make him turn back to regular color was to french kiss him. I know!!! SICK! so I had to french kiss my cat. This was probably due to the conversation nate and I had about how he licks my face every morning to wake me up to feed him. The next dream I had was also quite strange. It was a kid from my high school who I didn't know very well, and we were all at Wilcox park sitting on that big boulder (jim is probably the only one who knows what i mean). So we were sitting there having a nice time, then suddenly this kid starts yelling at me about the classes I took in high school. He was saying that since I was going into medicine that I shouldn't have wasted all my time on those TV production classes, and that I should have been taking anatomy and other such classes. (even though i did...) Then everybody who was hanging out there got really angry at me and left. So I had to prepare this big defense for myself, (I took medical terminology, ahhhhh!) then I called this kid on his cell phone and the devil answered. So I never got to tell my side of the story. email me if you want to analyze this for me. i'm in a world of hurt.

Well I had a lovely time in Ann Arbor, I imbibed a bit of alcoholic beverage saturday night, lit the wrong end of my cigarette and poured cider in nate's lap. I really shouldn't intoxicate myself. But it's spring! who cares! it's beautiful out finally! Oh yeah, I am going to be a piercing apprentice pretty soon, so this is an open call to all pincushions: I need people to practice on!!!! Jim, do you want anything pierced? Do any of your friends? I need them, maybe in a month or two I'll be ready to stick people. Keep it in mind, ask people. They have to be 18... can't bend on that shitty law.... did you know they're trying to make piercing illegal completely in michigan? they want doctors to do it. they'll charge $160 for a navel ring. screw the law!!!!!

Posted By: Mer - - the continuing saga of Steve the Lizard

Okay so last time we saw Steve, he decided to pull himself out of his penis-size induced depression by taking a trip to the mall. So Steve went to Lord & Taylor, Love from Michigan, Deb, the pretzle stand, and Suncoast Video. Then he wanted to go upstairs to Victoria's Secret and to ride the carousel. He headed for the escalator. All was fine until he got to the top,and as he was about to step off, his enormous cock (which was somewhat contained in a pair of stylish boot-cut capri pants from Old Navy) got caught in the escalator! He felt the gears grinding his newly-grown penis into a genital-smoothie, not unlike an Orange Julius from Olga's Kitchen. The rest of his lizard body got sucked up into the moving stairs of damnation, and Steve died a painful, slow, horrible death. The End.

Posted: 05:25 p.m. | Tuesday, April 3, 2001
Posted By: Meredith doesn't need to pay attention in class!

Alright, here's my newest story, I wrote it during a lecture on Roman art and architecture yesterday: Once upon a time there was a sweet little lizard named Steve. Steve lived in the rainforests of Sandusky, Ohio. He had lots of friends but no girlfriend! He was very unattractive to girl lizards because his penis was extremely huge. It was so big that sometimes he could not scamper around because he tripped on it. Girl lizards would say "Oh Steve, you are such a sweet little lizard and I'd really like to be your girlfriend, but I'm afraid your massive cock would split me in half!" then they ran away. Since everybody knows that when you cut off part of a lizard it will grow back, Steve thought maybe if he cut off part of his penis it would grow back smaller. So he got out his shovel, laid his dick on the ground, and slammed the shovel through it. Sure enough, part of it came off. Steven had to wait to see if it would grow back for a long time, so while he waited he decided to write an opera. he called it "Oh Penis, My Penis". Then the morning after opening night of his critically acclaimed opera, Steve woke up to find his penis had grown back twice as big! He was plunged into depression and for a while did absolutely nothing but eat buckets of mozarella sticks. Then he thought, "dammit! I've been sitting here for three weeks, I can't sh*t from all this cheese, and my dick is so big I can use it for a pillow. I'm going to the mall." That's all for now kids! Tune in next week for another installation of Steve the Lizard and His Giant Dick!

Oh how I love Easter! Not because of the rebirth of your lord and savior jesus christ and not because of the promise of spring, but because of jelly beans. That's right, jelly beans. They are currently my reason for living. As we speak I am finishing a bag of delicious Brach's Easter Eggs with all the black and white ones picked out. Those taste like ass. My favorite part is that they have a perfectly crunchy outside and a delightfully squishy center so you can enjoy them both at once... OR chew off the shell and eat the gushy part separately. Such a versatile treat cannot be overlooked and may be enjoyed throughout the year, not just at this commercialized, bastardized, candy-driven holiday. Ahh how I love Easter.

I am so uninspired, though. I mean at this moment, not in general. I got a shot in the arm and it hurts. I just had a mind numbing visit with my boss and my tummy hurts and I have to go work at my brother's tattoo shop for a few hours because he has to go to court to get his sentencing. How ghetto is that? I feel just like Jay-Z. Right. I'm sitting here listning to Spoon in a yoga chair with big bunny slippers on. It don't get more hardcore than that. I just realized I haven't eaten anything at all today. I think I want falafal. falafel? flalalalalala la la la la lal al la ful. I'm off to the Pita House.

Hiya everybody.... alas, I'm home again, to return to the mundane whirrings of my life as usual. to add to the shittyness, my car needs new breaks which will run me a hundred and something, the left brake light is out, and it's got a big scratch on the side (shoulda stuck with the subaru, huh jim?) so i'm just thrilled. I just took a semi-lame psychology test and I'm trying to talk myself into going to class in a couple hours. i really don't have to. we're going to talk about pornographic poetry. i'm too tired for that. We stayed up late watching the academy awards last night so I'm a tired girl. I've never been able to sit through an entire awards show, but since I had a few glasses of nice wine and some good people around I didn't even notice it was long. I loved bjork's performance, if you haven't seen Dancer in the Dark you should be drug out in the street and shot. well so long, i'm going to take a nap.

Posted By: Mer has a new realization about herself and worms and how these things are intertwined

I just got back from a workshop that Holly Hughes put on at school (she's the one staying in my room) and it was amazing! We did a few writing exercises where we made a list of our personalities, like I'm a typist and a daughter and a nurturer and a tall girl and Dutch (but not cheap)... and then we had to pick one and write a little about the pros and cons of that aspect of ourselves. I picked nurturer, because if you look at my friends, they're all pretty fucked up (=interesting in my book) and it makes me happy to help them feel better, and i'm good at it. Then we had to make a list of things starting with "I remember" then "I don't remember" then "my mother always" and "my mother never", I came up with a pretty cool list: I remember skipping school to do homework : : I remember eating a worm because my brother told me it was chocolate : : I don't remember being a child : : I don't remember being lonely : : My mother always said you have to suffer for beauty : : my mother hated cleaning... ect. It's interesting how such mundane things can tell you so much about a person, you get a bit of info about someone's mother and you can guess how the rest of her personality works. It was a roomful of strangers to me, but everyone as very up front about a lot of things. It wasn't one of those 'sit around and cry because you never got a puppy' groups, it was kept short and sweet and insightful. I'm going to see Holly tonight at the UICA ($8 for students, fly here to see her! it's at 8 PM! if you miss your flight, she's performing tomorrow at the same time and same place) There's also a performance/dance/whatever going on tonight at 10 Weston, Jimbo make it downtown tonight! lots of entertainment. shit, I smell brownies. must... go... get... brownies.................

hello cruel world!! hey, i had a dream a few nights ago that i need some input on. here it is: nate wanted really badly to go camping, so i said sure, i like camping, let's go. he had this particular camp site in mind that he absolutely loved and used to go to all the time. so we drove up through the mountains and pulled up to this filthy, mullet-infested, coors-beer-cans-everywhere, dont-drink-the-water camp site. nate was thrilled to be back to his favorite place in the world and i was just scared of catching the clap. then all of a sudden i was at work, walking out the door hoping nobody would notice i was leaving early. i went to an art store where i knew the owner, but my objective was not art supplies, it was a shirt for this little boy who gave his shirt to his sister because she was cold. the owner kept trying to give me free art stuff, so i walked out with some expensive modeling clay and some stamps. but no shirt. then i was on a mountain with the little boy (mountains? why?) and his sister had died and her body in this scary shed at the bottom of the mountain, so i hugged him. then my cat decided he wanted to make out with me and i woke up. mountains? shirts? dead shirtless children? what? the thing about nate wanting to be in a white trash campground is weird because he's a banana republic, shiny black shoes type of guy who would be just as disgusted as i was at it. so some sort of paradox there. but really, what the hell is going on!!!!!! give me xanax!!!

Posted By: j.ames - now with lemon fresh scent!

The following quote was taken after two second-graders were taken into custody for the possession of a paper gun, and for making the exclaimation, "I'm going to kill you all." (which the boys later claimed was an attempt to immitate a friend).

"I thought this was unfortunate," Smith said. "But, being that kids are being shot in schools across the country, children have to be taught they can't say certain words in public."

OK, sounds like an informed opinion, right? Sounds rational, and very sensible, right? Actually, this opinion scares the living shit out of me.

Do I support violence in schools? No. Senseless violence, especially in a place of education is, in my opinion, a terrible, and very frightening thing. Neither do I support behaviour which has no purpose than to frighten or disturb others.

But one thing I do not support, is the idea that our nation's youth should grow up afraid to say anything. 'children should be taught that they can't say certain words in public' At first I thought, sure, what with all the school shootings and all. But then it dawned on me that this might become a growing trend. What if there are charges that someone is molested in a school? What then? Will children no longer be able to speak about that? What about genuine problems? What if we ban everything that makes anyone uncomfortable?

Recently a kid in my mentorship class had a project concerning WWII. He was making a collection of objects featured in a book called Stones in Water, which we had been reading.

One of his objects was a swastika. A girl saw him working on his project - looked up at me with shock in her eyes, but said nothing. I didn't really think about it and went on with my day.

The next morning on my way into school - I was flagged down by the school guidance councilor - who wanted to talk with me about 'the propaganda I'd been spreading'. Riiiight...

So, sure, hell, instead of talking about things, and dealing with them openly - let's just shut them away, breed ignorance, and squash what makes us uncomfortable... Bah...

I still love ya,

Yes, like clitoris. that should be interesting. Sophie Freud was before her, she's Siggy's granddaughter. I was not in my bed with these people, mind you, I am always banished from my house and do not get to actually witness these people sleeping in my bed. so it could all be a farce, but where else would they sleep?

Posted By: J.ames - SPIT ON A STRANGER!

Whoa... what a night. What a day for that matter!

At lunch today Dan, Micah, Bobo, and I rode to Taco Bell in Maitner's van. Well, actually, Micah, Bobo, and I rode in the van. Dan kinda rode in the van. See he had this great idea that since Brian's van's sliding door locked open, he would open it and stand outside the van while we drove to Taco Bell. So he did.

We had a little ways to go - and Dan waved the whole way like a pageant queen in a home town parade. I swear I have not laughed this hard in months... The confused looks on the faces of pedestrians as Dan waved and yelled things like, "yo! Who's payin' yo rent honey?" was priceless. Especially since there was the added bonus of the fact that Dan was hangning out of the door of a moving Dodge Caravan on a really busy street.

Well, the motorized antics did not end with our trip south of the border! Oh no! On the way back I rode with Scott in his bad ass ghetto mobile (with a system that kicks so hard it dims his lights). And Dan and Bobo and Micah and Brian thought it would be really hilarious to race us and throw packets of hot sauce and pennies at us. And all while Dan hung out of the open door of the speeding soccer-mom-mobile. We sped down tiny two lane streets, taking up both lanes, throwing pennies back and forth, and screaming at the top of our lungs. This is what teenage antics are all about.

And all back in time for our next class... what fine upstanding students we are...

love ya,

Mmmm Perkins... Now I'm hungry... ach... dammit Mer...

Well, I had a great day. Stayed home from church this morning. My parents' church makes me feel empty... I don't know. I just can't worship there. Maybe it's me, but I needed a change. I went to mass at St. Al's with erin tonight, which rocked. I don't know, I just like catholic mass a lot. Used to be in the lutheran church in VI when I was real young and I guess I just remember it fondly. I went to St. Anthony's youth group with Erin after that, which actually turned out to not be that bad. Erin, you rock my world.

When I got home I found out that one of the guys living with us had a huge fight with his girlfriend or something and he decided to move back to wherever it is he used to live. I didn't get to say goodbye to him...

Then Slick came over and we went to Anazeh and shot a few games of nine-ball. It rocked, I beat him 5 games to 4. Then he whupped on this guy he works with named Tommy, who happens to be one cool guy. It was a great time.

In other J. news, Jeff and Stu from ForceGravity might be coming down to the great GR to chill with Slick, 'Nah and I. Cool stuff, they sound like fun guys.

okay, so i went to bed at 3 am, woke up at 9. where's the logic there? it's because sarah called me and wanted me to go to perkins with her. yummy. so i dragged my carcass out of bed and stuffed myself with blueberry waffles. i'm glad i did. nate and jake were there too and then we went to see the mexican. i laughed, that's all i'm going to say about it. now i just finished this completely asinine statistics project that involved dropping 48 eggs on the sidewalk and counting how many pieces they broke into. that was some eggy goodness. now i'm preparing myself for the unbearable excitement of cleaning my bathroom! be still my beating heart!

Posted By: J. - love and rockets... and diesel sweeties!

Ever have one of those days when you want mango flavoured hair? Today was one of those days today. So Erin mangoed me up good. Real good.

Sunday mornin' I'm waking up... can't even focus on the coffee cup... Thank you Chemical Brothers.

Went out and shot some pool with Slick at Anazeh Sands. Fun stuff, pool is a really relaxing game. I can think of more relaxing things. Like orange couches. But hey, I can't have everything all the time.

Love,
-j.

Hey all, I'm at work. Hee hee.

Do you know why I'm not working? (And no, it's not just because I love you all and want to share my day with you) - it's also because Mer sent me this link. I can't try to explain it. It involves bubblewrap and is obviously a gift from god. Please, I'm telling you, just go see this beautiful thing.

Ah! It's time for a J.immy-boy link dump!

Posted By: Mer.... loves dirty dancing and i dont mean the movie

do you ever think about the scary little insignificant details that completely shape our lives? like what if i had left my house two seconds earlier and that car in front of me that got smacked by the semi had been me? then my life would be totally different, since i'd be dead. or what if i glanced down for a second and didn't see the huge meteor hurtling toward my head? or what if i had gone to kava house last night and met someone who would have changed my life, except i didn't go and now my life will never be changed by that person.... maybe it's these muscle relaxers or maybe it's consciousness, maybe all that catnip is finally starting to affect me. i'm gonna go have a cigarette. love and laundry, merbear

Posted By: MerBear is #1 in the morning beauty pageant

Ahhh! hello everybody. i had quite the night last night! i watched american psycho for the first time at nate's house and it was pretty damn cool. i feel like the opposite of a million bucks right about now, probably because i dont smoke but i've been smoking lately and i think i should stop. but it's sooooo gooood. it's going to hinder my workout, but since every time i go to the gym i just get sexually harrased, maybe i'll stop going. seriously, there was a group of scabby rehab guys there last thursday and i left early because they wouldn't stop making comments about how i must be takin' my vitamins baby! well, it's time for me to get my damn fine legs into the shower and wash all this grime off me (i had a wild night, don't ask)

Posted By: J.ames - I fear Tatsuya Ishida

Do you know who I really fear? God.

Not the petty, pocket-sized god, that sends people to hell for homosexuality or jay walking. We're talking about the God who made all of this. The universe. You know - existance.

I fear when this God decides to end the ride. Will I be cosmic filler? Or will my crimes, my waste, my complete disregard come back to slap my pink ass and send me into nothingness. Yeah.

BTW - when I say \"God\" I'm simply using a nominclature that is easy for me to understand. Other people might find it easier to replace \"God\" with \"force that made all this shit\". Just in case there were any questions.

love 'n hugs,
-j.ames

Posted By: J.ames - respect the pussy.

Slick and I went out to get his bastard self something to eat and wound up playing pool at Ananza Sands.

I won the first game and then lost three games consectutively. Because I suck like that.

Now I'm tired. So I think I'm going to sleep. Oh yeah, I just wanted to give a shout out to FUN!. FUN! kicks my ass down the block. I'm not even kidding. So does Aphex Twin. So does Plastalina Mosh for that matter. Enough about bands who could kick my ass. Atom (and his package) could probably beat my ass down the street with a busted neon light bulb, so it's sorta pointless for me to really list all of them...

sweet dreams,

Posted By: J.ames - bwahaha this movie sucks... like my life...

Yo, mer is here! Bloody fantastic.

I guess I should give some info about myself, now that you have.

I live in a massive house with heroin addicts, drunks, crack fiends, schizophrenics, divorcees, and little kids. Oh, and my parents too. It's great. Sometimes they steal my stuff and buy drugs with it. Fun fun fun in the sun sun sun.

As far as my relationship with Mer's sister went, well, Ellen's a great girl. And no, never accomplished that 'goal'.

In other news - Excalibur is, quite possibly, the worst movie I've ever seen in my entire life. I've seen a lot of crap, I'm serious. I used to go to movie stores and ask the clerks what the worst movie in the place was - then I'd rent it and laugh at it. But this one has surpassed all of my previous notions of bad films. Why? Because people spent large amounts of money to make this thing. I almost like it better in french... with the subtitles off...

love,
j.ames

Posted By: Mer is dead! and no one cares!

yay, it works. my life is now complete. nobody knows anything about me, right? let me give you the lowdown. downlow. i have three dads, two moms, one brother, one sister, five cats at two houses, one hamster, one bird, one can of shoe polish, a Charles Bukowski book, and some saltines. that's pretty much a summary of my life. i met jimbo here because he wanted to screw my little sister, and whether he accomplished that goal i prefer not to know. i'm not that crass, they just dated for several months. i'm in college, i am going into some sort of medical-related field, a pa or a midwife or both. that's me in a nutshell. ahh! i'm in a nutshell! what sort of nutshell is this? whooo doggy.

What's up! I don't know if this is working so I'm not going to waste my time thinking up a bunch of brilliant garbage and then getting \"connection refused\", so let's see what happens boys and girls!

Posted By: J.ames - hm, where's Mer? I fixed the images...

Greetings all, 'tis I, Sir J.ames.

Or something like that.

I'm watching what may be one of the saddest butcherings of English Lore I've seen in quite a while. In fact - it's so far from the original, it's something else entirely. What is this bizarre rendition of the tale Arthur, Merlin, and a naked Sir Lancelot. It's called Excalibur. And it's a damn shame.

Oh well, Carissa, Brian and I are having fun mocking it, so I suppose it's serving some purpose.

Love,
-J.ames

Posted By: J.ames - YES! I KICK SO MUCH ASS!

Hey there boys and girls. 4 am... 4 a -frickin' m. I should be sleeping. Carissa, Brian, and apparently other people are coming over tomorrow. And I'm up at 4 am. Oh well - this page is finally done, and the CSS is behaving nicely. Or at least it should be. If it's not on your computer - let me know. That way I can fix whatever's going on. Anywho, have a great night everyone.

Oh, and I got to do a panel for a cool comic tonight. Or this morning.. whatever. Everyone say hi to meredith! (She's the girl).

love an' hugs,
