A place for me to work stuff out and to post things that interest me.
Most of us can, if we choose,
make this world either a palace or a prison.
~Lord Avebury
I choose a palace.
~TKF
Do not let your fire go out,
spark by irreplaceable spark,
in the hopeless swamps of the approximate,
the not-quite, the not-yet, the not-at-all.
Do not let the hero in your soul perish,
in lonely frustration for the life you deserved,
but have never been able to reach.
Check your road and the nature of your battle.
The world you desired can be won.
It exists, it is real, it is possible, it is yours.
~Ayn Rand
The democratic society's mythology of equality with its
attendant erasure of difference is an impossibility
in an actual, lived sense.
Therefore, according to this view, this
imaginary erasure cannot achieve an
actual democracy, because a sense of
community can only come with the recognition of difference.
~Slavoj Zizek, as paraphrased by Catherine M. Soussloff

I thought the place was very cool. Oh, and all you Alias fans, you can find a very nice wallpaper there--
or rather, here--and a gorgeous Evanescence one, too!

Beyond the Invisible
| 
The tale of the world is like a tree.
...
Sturdily rooted in the past, the tale's branches spread out through the days that come. The many stories that make up its substance
unfold from bud to leaf to dry memory and back again, event connecting event like the threadwork of a spider's web, so that each creature of the world plays its part, understanding only aspects of the overall narrative, and perceiving, each with its particular talents, only glimpses
of the Great Mystery that underlies it all.
~Charles de Lint, Moonheart

Let's Play "HOW OBTUSE IS HE???"
When I saw that he'd not only spent all of my money, he'd put me into bigtime overdraft, I cut and pasted the page from my account (I can access the information and keep track of my balance, etc, online) and sent it to him with an email that said that it made me literally sick to my stomach.
He replied that he knew how I felt because he hadn't had a cigarette in 2 days. (Mind you, not one single charge since 07/15 when almost $1750 was direct deposited was from me. He also borrowed $400 from Nik and $200 from his dad. So, in less than a week, he spent about $2700-2800 if you count in the $500 my account was overdrawn--and he knows how I feel???? I don't think he'd know how I felt if I wrote it in neon on his dick!)
So, I just copied the landlord's letter to me and told him that there's a good chance we'll be homeless tomorrow. Can't wait to see his reply to that. He'll probably tell me again how he can feel my pain because he can't buy a car.
UPDATE
Got a voicemail from Mr. Cheng (the landlord)--he doesn't seem very amiable to the idea of giving me any extra time and I don't have a bit of money to give him without wiping out my savings for no good purpose. $1000 for a week and a half? I wonder if I can find a moving van...
