The Late Shift of DOOM

Hello hello hello.

SALLY!!! How ya doing?

Edmund Burke, fuck him.

Some comfort:

They have tied me to a stake. I cannot fly, But bear-like I must fight the course.
Shakespeare, Macbeth V, vii

There is no despair so absolute as that which comes with the first moments of our first great sorrow, when we have not yet known what it is to have suffered and be healed, to have despaired and have recovered hope.
George Eliot

The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation. What is called resignation is confirmed desperation ... A stereotyped but unconscious despair is concealed even under what are called the games and amusements of mankind.
Henry David Thoreau

Despair is the conclusion of fools.
Benjamin Disraeli

Hey! Sally, Xoc... (Xoc... you're not gonna do your traditional "turn up for a post then bugger off" thing again, are you? Stick around and chat, whydoncha!)

01:30 / 07.11.04

I'm doing a lot better. I found my cure for despair in a group of teenagers break dancing for tips at the mall where I work, in the outdoors section. Just kids, different races, but all kinds of people were watching, and everything was great. If they messed up, they laughed it off. For some reason, that was all I needed to see.

01:32 / 07.11.04

That sounds nice. Huggles.

01:34 / 07.11.04

Huggles right back.

Suedey! SHOT FOR MEAT!

01:45 / 07.11.04

Huggles! In yr face!

01:48 / 07.11.04

I love it when you get kinky!

01:48 / 07.11.04

I love it when you get kinky!

Suedey! SHOT FOR MEAT!

Mm. Then again, X

' How low the other junkies are, " whereas We - WE have this tent and this lamp and this tent and this lamp and this tent and nice and warm in here nice and warm nice and IN HERE and nice and OUTSIDE IT'S COLD... IT'S COLD OUTSIDE where the dross eaters and the needle boys won't last two years not six months hardly won't last stumble bum around and there is no class in them... But WE SIT HERE and never increase the dose... never - never increase the dose never except TONIGHT is a SPECIAL OCCASION. "

William S Burroughs.

( That's meant as a comment on US foreign policy, incidentally, it's got nothing to do with what I've been up to this evening or anything, honest. )

01:54 / 07.11.04

Merci? Merci is for the weak! Oh wait...um...nevermind!

01:57 / 07.11.04

For the week? I'm lucky if I can manage more than a couple of days.

01:57 / 07.11.04

Merci is for the weak

01:58 / 07.11.04

I thought jealousy was for the weak. Kevin Kline said so, it must be true.

02:00 / 07.11.04

Crap...it was a pic of the Kobra Kai dojo leader from the Karate Kid movie. Internet sucks.

02:04 / 07.11.04

Martin motherfuckin' Kove! He was in Cagney & Lacey as well, remember?

02:08 / 07.11.04

No, never a big K&L fan. But I do remember him from Rambo 2

02:09 / 07.11.04

Ah yes. Rambo 2, Electric Boogaloo. A classic.

02:10 / 07.11.04

lol

yes, thats right, I said lol.

02:16 / 07.11.04

I thought Rambo 2 was Rambo 2: The Quest For Peace.

alas

02:16 / 07.11.04

I'm just lolling around the house.

02:18 / 07.11.04

Keggers just said lol.

I f33r his m4d 5k1772.

02:19 / 07.11.04

Can I have a lolly? People keep telling me I suck, I don't want to disappoint them, B-BOOM!

02:23 / 07.11.04

Now you're just not making sense. Are you doing the drugs? Are your friends doing the drugs? Did they talk you into doing the drugs? We want you to be safe and happy. Nobody is judging you. (except for the french judges but we know they're on the take) Its a 'bad idea' to do drugs. Lets pray.

unheimlich manoeuvre

02:25 / 07.11.04

Edmund Burke, fuck him.

much obliged Xoc.

...

jesus, this thread is a roller coaster.

Mourne Kransky

02:26 / 07.11.04

Ici, c'est moi, encore...

Don'y know for how much longer tho. Have been giving it laldy at Duckie, up on the stage boogieing my butt off, even with Chelsea Kelsey absent because they're doing a show for GLASGAY tomorrow (why?) and, having pulled the boots and leather jeans off comatose partner, I am now struggling to communicate sensibly online. I should have learnt by now that this is not a good idea...

Still, when he's snoring, I can have some computer time.

What were we talking about?

alas

02:26 / 07.11.04

Deborah Harry doesn't suck! Well, maybe as a rap artist, that song Rapture doesn't quite work, but the tide is high and I have a heart of glass, which is probably not as useful in this situation as a glass bottom boat and ... now why am I the only one singing all all these Deborah Harry songs? "I'm not the kind of girl, who gives up just like that . . . "

02:27 / 07.11.04

It moves fast though. Even up the hills. And with that cryptic comment, I'm going to bed.

02:28 / 07.11.04

See, that was a reply to the roller coaster post. See how fast that went? Like, zoom, dig? Anyway. Good night, huggles for all.

02:29 / 07.11.04

Night, Sally.

Yes, I have noticed that weekend Late Shift threads tend to be a little bit more... how can I put this... bonkers.

Someone's been doing the drugs, I reckon. I wish it was me... however it isn't. In fact, I think it may be everyone but me. I'm just sleep-deprived and having my brain slowly melted by work. Which is roughly the same, but less fun.

alas

02:30 / 07.11.04

I like things roughly the same. Especially the roughly part.
