You can't prove your worth to an idiot.
You can't be sentimental about hell.
You can't help being conditioned if you've already let it happen.

Never demand love.

Oh, who am I kidding? The insane don't take my advice.

He said that it would be morally right to kill 100 people to save 1. I have no problem with this as it supports his conclusion. However, I pose to him this set of choices to test his position. It is good that you honk as it allows you to breathe and therefore prolongs your life. I find it good when you do not honk and, in general, living in a world free of your influence. Therefore my preference has two good outcomes as opposed to your one. My preference has the greatest good. Therefore, HFFM, if you are truely a utilitarian STOP BREATHING!!
On another note I pose to you the reader some important questions which you may be able to answer (numbered in situation below).
Lastnight my boyfriend and I were indulging in carnal activities in the back room of his dorm room when suddenly his fat smelly tuba wielding roommate entered the front room. My boyfriend proceeded to yell "Stop, stay in there!" then again "Don't come back here!". Then, giving me only time to grab a nearby spongebob pillow to cover myself, the roommate appeared, blushed, and apologized. We got down out of the bunkbed, and I began to feel mortified. My boyfriend asked if he had heard us, did he have his headphones on "No, I didn't have my headphones on" So I pondered 1) Why did he come back if he had heard us? No sooner had I thought this (less than 10 seconds) than he reappeared, making no efort to announce himself or divert his eyes "I've got to grab something" he said. I had no time but to flop down on the bottom bed, face down to hide my the majority of my nudity, curling up and hiding behind my, well, behind. He had to grab his headphones. He then left the back room again, sat at his desk and began to do homework 2) Why did he not afford us any consideration and announce himself? 3) What was so damned important about his headphones that he couldn't wait 2 minutes tops to let me pull some clothes on?
I would have cried if I could have stopped laughing at my luck long enough. My final question, to HFFM and the roommate is this 5) Why aren't people considerate anymore? ]]> ~Alcestess http://Alcestess.deviantart.com/journal/7955721/ http://Alcestess.deviantart.com/journal/7955721/ Mon, 20 Feb 2006 18:06:41 PST HONKING FLIP-FLOP MAN YOU WILL PAY!!!
(* used to avoid anger over profanity in journal) ]]> ~Alcestess http://Alcestess.deviantart.com/journal/7295357/ http://Alcestess.deviantart.com/journal/7295357/ Mon, 12 Dec 2005 19:31:18 PST Put a note on my door lastnight saying "finals week = please be quiet, I beg of you" addressing the loud bitches, they replied "Bitch, Get a Friend I Beg you!!". Whatever. I'm sorry to complain, but it just wouldn't be the internet if I didn't. So expecting people living in an honors dorm to show courtesy to their fellow residents by keeping the noise down for finals week makes me a bitch. Its not like they've been quiet for any of the finals or midterms for the past year and a half anyway. I'm just getting tired of waiting on them the shut the hell up.
I almost got hit by a garbage truck on the way to my first final this morning. I was on the sidewalk! So I start yelling at it and shaking my fist "I'm walking here! Can't you see this is the goddam sidewalk?" It made the burly black man i passed laugh.
*Sigh* Brian cheered me by giving me my x-mas gifts early. I got Eyore slippers, a skirt, and the complete Cowboy Bebop soundtrack (sweet). Andy gave me a note book like the one he keeps all his jokes in, I consider it a compliment.
Brian's going on tour with his band this summer, they have some really great music- like I'd actually pay for it, and the lyrics are great. Its so hard to believe that Brian and Andy could come up with them. Still I'm kind of jealous I wasn't invited, but then I'd just be one more mouth to feed, and a voice of reason.
Moral of the story: Survive. ]]> ~Alcestess http://Alcestess.deviantart.com/journal/5971601/ http://Alcestess.deviantart.com/journal/5971601/ Mon, 18 Jul 2005 19:55:38 PDT
Does anyone else watch Hell's Kitchen? Did you see tonight's episode. Elsie didi not deserve that, she won the challenge fair and square and they get all jealous and treat her like shit, Ramon even had the audacity to lie and say he was happy for her, lying sack o' shite! Then they treat her like crap and she even lies to Ramsey and says that she felt supported when hardly anyone would help her. And that Jessica is such a bitch! *Warning unrelated thought to follow* Did anyone else seem to think that Ramsey was kind of crushin on Elsie, he was all nice to her throughout the show and said she touched his heart and that her smile lights up the place. I thought he was very sweet to her, it was soo cute. I heart him, so cute and brittish and sexay. Plus he can cook, lol. ]]> ~Alcestess http://Alcestess.deviantart.com/journal/5805309/ http://Alcestess.deviantart.com/journal/5805309/ Thu, 30 Jun 2005 19:40:51 PDT Watching: Secretary, a disturbingly romantic movie about a massochistic secretary
New favorite quote: "Wearing a condom is like washing your feet with your socks on" ala my bf's dad
Mood: 78 with patches of fog
Conquesting statement of the day: "Thats my cheese"
Recent realization: There can be no true "punk" fasion because punk itself is about nonconformity, therefore conforming to a set of black, safety pinned and pink striped clothes is not only reliving the same fasion as the 80's but is very non punk. Its like being a hippie in designer jeans.
Today's beefs: socks with sandals ("Old man you are wearing socks with sandals and for that you must DIE!")
and spyware which currently has my pc all fu.
name a freaky animal: the tarsier
The store didn't have my creamy cheesy cheesy cream. ]]> ~Alcestess http://Alcestess.deviantart.com/journal/5309443/ http://Alcestess.deviantart.com/journal/5309443/ Mon, 09 May 2005 08:52:14 PDT

To thorny questions of interest will be added problems concerning the choice of lodgings or the education of your children. Your business affairs will have all chances to prosper. You'll feel the beneficial influxes of better material luck. Beware of jealousy; this feeling, that makes you compare yourself constantly with others and always at your disadvantage, is not only painful but also sterile and dangerous.
i guess i may have been being jealous, but of a 16year old with pink hair- god that irks me, another girl, so soon after me, he wasn't even upset about losing me. of course he met her while we were still happy- she was undressing in public- so maybe this does have an explanation after all ]]> ~Alcestess http://Alcestess.deviantart.com/journal/1680859/ http://Alcestess.deviantart.com/journal/1680859/ Wed, 14 Jan 2004 16:52:38 PST ~Alcestess http://Alcestess.deviantart.com/journal/1679189/ http://Alcestess.deviantart.com/journal/1679189/ Wed, 14 Jan 2004 12:08:52 PST ~Alcestess http://Alcestess.deviantart.com/journal/1673406/ http://Alcestess.deviantart.com/journal/1673406/ Tue, 13 Jan 2004 11:01:22 PST ~Alcestess
