Halloween

tonight i dressed up in checkered tights, a hot pink vinyl mini-skirt, my black and white checkered dress shoes, a "peaches xxx" tank top, a fairy wand, and a white purse. natasha tossed on her pink princess prom dress and we headed downtown to the rock show. the show didn't start for a while so se walked up and down 6th street. the police were in effect. they barricaded off about ten feet down the center of the street. it was so much fun seeing everybody all freaked out in their costumes.

the night was going great - we ran into people we knew - the music was good - the bands were dressed up in costumes too.

her mom called and a tsunami of negativity dragged our moods into the gutter with the puke, cockroaches, and discarded beer bottles. we left before the band we paid to see came on and headed home immediately. we got into a few completely petty and viscious arguments on the way too.

it's amazing how fragile happiness is - how slow it is to build and how quickly it can vanish - how hours of fun and good times can be dwarfed in significance by a 30-second phone call. amazing. and depressing.

in light of a new job prospect i've been brushing up on database skills. i'm still in awe of the austin webring thing i built. god damn.

months ago i realized that 99% of my friends were girls. i thought it'd be cool to meet some cool austin guys, so i posted a personal on yahoo explicitly stating that i was looking for "friends". i used the word "friends" like 5 times in a small paragraph. i even used exclamation points after one of them. "friends!!!" also, i explicitly stated "no scary gay old men".

well not only did i get exactly ZERO responses to the thing, but someone confused it to mean that i was looking for GAY SEX ACTION. how depressing is that? the internet is such a sleazeball place that everything is assumed to be sexual, no matter how explicitly innocuous it is. jeezus.

the internet is such a festering sore of depravity, and filled with cheaters and people with no morals or soul, "i have a boyfriend/girlfriend" is assumed to mean, "lets gets naked and not tell anybody", instead of, "i'm unavailable". fuck.

fuck the internet.
