I just realized something:
The correct "gothy pants" are rather tight-fitting, but the fake ones, AKA the Mallgoth pants [raver pants], are really baggy.

In one of the Sandman books, some people were walking around in Hell and they were talking to a guy who was being tortured, and they were telling him that he was free to go, and he was saying "But I'm [so-and-so]! I was responsible for the death of millions of people, I ***** hundreds of women and then viciously murdered them. I tortured people myself just for the pleasure of it!" or something to that effect, and the people who were talking to him said, "You've been dead for millennia. No one even remembers anything about you. You've been forgotten. They don't even remember your name."
That moment touched me. Impacted me in some way. Not sure how, but...
*shrugs* Nothing lasts forever, I guess. Maybe that's why eternity and immortality scare me. That and because I can't comprehend them. I do best with finite things.
On the other hand, things can't just... End...

They won't. The body is an illusion.

NO.
NO QUOTED CHRISTIAN DEATH!
SHAISSE! NOW IT'S IN ME!
Duhnuhnuhnuh nuhhhh nuhnuhnuhnuh
Burniung crosses on a ******'s lawn
Burning dollars,
What's a house without a home?
Dance in your white sheet glory--
Dance in your pashhhhion!
Talk about sugar on the 6-finger'd beast,
Conversations 'bout the holes in your hands,
Walk through the gardens of Men's desires
And conversations 'bout the kingdom of fire!
Blahblahblah

I wonder what's the word the original manuscripts of the Scriptures had instead of 'homosexuals'.
Maybe the word is really 'sodomites'.
In which case, there's no reason to equate 'sodomite' with 'homosexual'
What made the 'sodomites' so famous was not the sexual depravity per se, but the fact that they would even fuck an angel.
Maybe then the verses that speak about homosexuals actually mean 'people who would willingly desecrate what is holy'

Which would tempt me to bring up the following; "Who deceides what's holy and what's not?" The Pope or maybe another religion then the christian belief?

Or the individual him/her self?

I love the way our collective consciousness has been very profound lately.
(gazes out second story library window at early morning city lights...what a glorious universe!)

Once, last year, I watched the sun rise over the hospital out my window. It was an interesting experience.

Watching the sun rise over a river is beautiful. . .too bad I'm rarely able to drag my ass out there on my days off.

I like watching the sun set in the sea. but then i live close to the sea. which gives me the advantage of being able to walk to the beach.

Let's see...
Well, curious question:
Does anyone else wink with both eyes or is it just me?

I can expand and contract both of my nostrils on command like a rabbit.
And I can wiggle my ears independently of each other. Hah! top that!
Oh, to answer the question, I wink my eyes individually, although when I wink my right eye, there is a very slight closure of my left.

Hmm, I can wink with either eye, wiggle both ears at the same time, I can do the nostril thing, I can pick things up with my feet, and mimic the warning "click click" of a blackbird...I think that's about it really. I used to be ambidextrous when I was a small child, but I eventually favoured my right hand and lost the ability. I can barely form a coherant letter with my left hand.
I don't want to go to work tomorrow I have to set the machine by myself, and I'll have no one to talk to because the girl I work next to is off. I shall be in the company of my own mind!!! , which for me is a treacherous thing indeed...I feel a bit sick actually. I ate too much fromage frais. I think I'll have some tea. Herbal fruit tea. And watch Lord of the rings for the billionth time.

Just in from the Art Museum's opening of Waking Dreams: The Art of the PreRaphaelites. It focused overmuch on Millais and Rossetti, not enough of Burne-Jones, little Arthur Hughes and no Waterhouse.
Most of the pieces are from Delaware, and I get that they wanted to fucos on only seven artists, but the selections were off, even in a scholl of art where the themes of beauty are so similar, and derived from many of the same sources (the Bible, Medevial art, Arthurian legend and Chaucerian tales), I found the exhibit disjointed and a brupt when the idea was flowing and technical elitism.
The Brotherhood of thr PreRaphaelites were, in many ways, overly reflective of the collaboration of guilds in Late Medevial Florence but with the interpersonal drama of Warhol's Factory.

Dang, do you guys realize that every time one of you post a simple comment like this, it means a whole day of research, a round trip of gas and $40 -$80 US spent in new books for me? Give me a break! It is murder trying to keep with all of you! (and exhilarating too!)
OK, I confess: I was an electronics major in my college days, so as an engineer I was ignorant of all this beautiful writing until Gnet. Now it is catchup time for me.
Thanks to everyone by the way (even Spright) for coaching me in the basics of literature.
