Do you remember your school nurse? Well you're probably more medically knowledged that hir.

In the bathroom of Sick Bay, there was a bidet directly in front of the door. I pegged it in there once, puked in the bidet as it was 1st to hand. She moved me, still vomiting. "Dont be sick in there" in an oh-you-are-soo-stupid voice. But i was sick on her shoes, which made me feel better.

Maybe chicken-flavoured tofu soup... and sleep's a long way off cos I'm working tonight. I figure a medicinal pint in the morning then a good few hours wrapped up warm in bed... my dog's going on holiday tomorrow so I don't have to take her for a walk for a few days, so I should be okay!

22:11 / 28.09.03

Dude, tea. Lots of tea. And sleep.

22:17 / 28.09.03

chicken-flavoured tofu soup... I think I've reached a new level of Ewwwww! It has to be real chicken because of the tryptophane.

As I say, sleep's not really an option right now, but tea sounds good.

Fuck it, sick or not, as of 7 this morning, I'll be off work for three weeks. Can't really complain. (And my boss just told me that my pay rise hasn't come through yet, which means they're gonna give me some more money at some point- I just assumed I'd already spent it.)

How are you all doing on this finme Sunday night/Monday morning (well, it is here, anyway)?

22:23 / 28.09.03

'Evening All. I am actually not working tonight, so I thought I would come here and bug youz-guyz.

Let's Buugie!

22:25 / 28.09.03

What you need is some Worm Soup.
Some spaghetti, a hand of rice, parsley, onions, veggie stock and black pepper, stick it in a pot for 20mins and you'll be all better. No chicken, no fake chicken; in fact, not an awful lot, but its ummy.

22:26 / 28.09.03

Sounds good (other than the name!) I may just try that when I get home.

22:29 / 28.09.03

"What you need is some Worm Soup"
reminds me of a song I used to sing to my nieces.

Hey May! How ya doing. Love the bugs. They look like fairies from a Asimov story.

22:31 / 28.09.03

Dear god. Before, I thought it'd be cool to have Uncle Kegboy. Now Im thinking, why oh why do you sing about worm soup to your nieces?

How many bridesmaids is/are normal?

22:38 / 28.09.03

Hiya Kegboy!

Sorry to hear you have bug of your own, Stoatie.

22:41 / 28.09.03

Hey it is cool to have an Uncle Kegboy!
The worm song is one my aunt sang to me!
"Great big gobs of greasy grimmy gopher guts,
mutilated monkey meats,
litle birdies dirty feet
all dress-up in all-purpose porpus pus
and me without my my spoon....
But I got a straaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaw!

I dont think there is a limit but at most weddings I've been to its been 1 maid of honour and 2 bridesmaids.

00:19 / 29.09.03

board silence.

00:22 / 29.09.03

I'm still here... just been having problems keeping my eyes open for the last hour or so and REALLY don't want to get caught asleep at my desk.

That's a mad song, Kegboy. Mad.

00:26 / 29.09.03

Yes...my childhood was filled with mad wonders. Like my aunt who used to take my Batman toy and rush it towards my face while singing the theme song from the show...and when it got to "Batman!" she'd pop the head off.

14:02 / 29.09.03

Wow! Now I dont want an Uncle Kegboy, I want Auntie Kegboys-auntie. She sounds infinitely cool.

Now.. Im gonna have a bit of difficulty choosing only 3 bridemaids. My brothers lovely flatmate Joel has already asked if he can be one, and i agreed, so long as he wears a pink dress. Is it rude not to return the 'favour' of bridesmaidness? Because if so, thats my sister taking up a slot. Hmm, difficult.

I think i'll have a fair while to think it over though. But theres also the what to wear dilemma. Because Bengali in Platforms wore a suit, which is fantastic, but then a big flouncy look-at-me-look-at-me dress is nice too.

Im gonna have to have so many weddings.

14:13 / 29.09.03

I can see your soul, do you want to know what souls look like? They look like cogs in a clock and they spin around your head.

I can see them it's all very strange!

14:16 / 29.09.03

Uh-oh, bear's been drinking too much Red Bull again.

Do you think it's best to destroy the institution of marriage by having a wedding and then getting divorced but staying with your partner or never bothering to get married? I ask because I want a wedding but I don't believe in marriage to the extent where getting married might make me vomit continously from guilt for days.

Thank god I don't have to consider these things seriously.

I want to go home.

14:26 / 29.09.03

Oh Anna! -huggles- Is it the legal aspect of marriage you're against when you say the institution?

14:30 / 29.09.03

Uh-oh, bear's been drinking too much Red Bull again.

You think I'm kidding but it's actually true. "Soul" probably isn't the correct term but it's close enough.

I have to go now.

02:50 / 30.09.03

< Quote Pinkfloyd> Is There Anybody Out There?

02:55 / 30.09.03

hey you Keggars!

Wassup?

03:06 / 30.09.03

I'm here, reading away, wishing that there was no homework so I could sleep, curled up next to my toasty fiance. But instead, I'm stuck with the last chapter of An Actor Prepares.

It's getting colder up here, and I'm realizing I have somehow managed to fail to accumulate any winter clothes last winter. So I think it's time for a wardrobe purge- put together a box for my youngest cousin, see if there's anything she'll dig. I have to get rid of all those damn spandex shirts I accumulated in my late teens. One or two look good under t-shirts, but the rest will have to be donated. As soon as I get a few free hours, there'll be some winter coat shopping at the local malls, as I've officially abandoned the patch-work coat project. I need to re-evaluate the contents of my closet.

How are you, Keggers, in the one true North?

03:06 / 30.09.03

Not much... just comming down from a wine laced euphoria, drowning it in coffee and whispers of the blues being peeled off the tv set running in the background.
Feeling quite mellow...quite good...

And you? How's Tricks doing, out there in cybersace?

03:11 / 30.09.03

DOing good MAz, doing good.
All this talk of actors and stage brings me back to both my drama classes, my grade 3 christmas play (I was a pine tree and my first words were "Non, je ne veut pas") and the bookshop in town complety dedicated to acting and stage and that ilk. Good time, good times.

03:12 / 30.09.03

Well, this is my new position: marriage is immoral. I wish I'd thought of this, before I'd gotten married. But as it is, it's too much of a pain in the ass to get divorced. I do lots of immoral things, and you have to pick your battles. It's also good to have a concrete example of something that you're not doing right. Don't ask me to explain that, but that's my serious moral position.

I would say that you could have an un-wedding --a big formal party, say, where you could wear a great dress-- but I wonder if people wouldn't take it seriously, not the way that "getting married" demands their attention. But you know, if you thought of it as a gay wedding... that might work, actually...

03:19 / 30.09.03

I am very good Kegboy. Thanks. Yourself?

You know, we really should do the Cresent St. thing sometime. I am hearing a lot about it. We can have some beers and get tossed out of bars.

It's a hobby of mine.

Oh yeah, pool...you play pool?

03:23 / 30.09.03

"marriage is immoral" I dont think so! My folks been married 30 years and my grand parents over 50. It may not be for you but it aint immoral.
"too much of a pain in the ass to get divorced". Divorce is easy. Marriage is hard.

Well I was in quite the mellow mood and Im afraid I feel a rant comming on (on my part) So im dropping this subject quicker than "Mime in Swahili 101".

But besides that dear Persephone (you know I still pronounce it purse-a-phone even though I know its wrong. Odd.) hows things with you?
Adore the little qrite up you did for the Jennywasright iron-on. As always: brilliant!

03:27 / 30.09.03

Do I play pool? Hmmm..Its no so much that I play pool but rather that I enjoy taunting the balls with the thought of what could have happened had my stick actually connected with them. I play pool for the one in a million lucky shot that leaves everyone mouth agape (myself included) and gives me the opportunity to just stand there all smug saying "Just like I planned it. Damn...Im good."

03:31 / 30.09.03

Don't get mad, Kegboy. I'm just doing my part to destroy the institution of marriage by being anti-marriage and happily married at the same time. And poking fun at myself for how lazy I am.

I'm so happy that you put Jenny Was Right up for QG. I'm going to make mine right away.

03:39 / 30.09.03

Yeah, I have some very different ideas about marriage. i just feel that sex part does not necessarily have to be monogamous. I think this could bring some people, who are ready for it, closer.

I think it is a far greater betrayal to your partnership to allow someone to shift your focus emtionally/energetically. I have a problem with that, I do. It detracts from your common focus. It's like a conflict of interest.

But, I would be quite encouraging to my partner to go out and find pleasure elsewhere. I think that is healthy, for me...anyway. It has the potential to be balanced...to give the immoral and darker side of a person an outlet, but still remain sacred and nurtured.

That is...if they have any control on their own dark nature, at all. You really have to share a vision and have some control over your own actions. Marriage makes one accountable.

It is a wonderful thing to have a solid person there on your side, and vice versa. Other than that...I think marraige sux too.

04:16 / 30.09.03

I think that I'm getting a little boring for the Late Shift, but I feel that I ought to say that I'm mainly against marriage as a state-sanctioned institution. Not only that it's denied to gays, but also that it's this *one* option that the government recognizes as a valid relationship between people. That's the part that I feel gross about participating in.

I'm never going to shove the virtues of a long-term monogamous relationship down anyone's throat, though I like it myself. But this to me is a separate issue from marriage; but then again, this is privilege talking --since this is the type of relationship that marriage validates.

I think I had better attempt sleep.

04:48 / 30.09.03

Has everyone gone?

08:38 / 30.09.03

Is it the legal aspect of marriage you're against when you say the institution?

While I don't agree with the rights afforded to married couples and denied to the unmarried it's more that marriage has grown out of religion. It seems outdated and unnecessary and I'm aware that the government is attempting to field people in to this het institution. Well, ignoring the lesbian side of my personality entirely I can't stand the idea of fulfilling some kind of societal expectation for the rest of my life. The anti-establishment part of me thinks it's a great big con, pairing everyone off controls the population you know and it puts everyone in their proper place. I've always been anti-marriage... it feels like a form of control over women, change your name girls and get caught in the trap and don't forget that your children belong to their father's family and not yours. It strikes a chord, there's something about control and ownership there and specifically I always want to remain my own. Marriage is degrading, pointless and ritualistic and everyone appears to think that's perfectly acceptable.

It always comes down to female representation in cartoons you know... it always comes down to She-Ra.
