NEVER FEAR
  Never Sicker
7:14 am
    --- I don't often have to take the FIRST bus back home from Kris' house, but that is what I just finished doing. It was his public birthday party, you see, and everyone drank a lot, and got drunk, a lot. That includes all the people that might drive me home. I had never seen Julie get all sick from drinking before, so that was new. Also, Kris' roommates were a lot friendlier to everyone than usual. Come to think of it, at least half the guests thought it was Karen's birthday party, and I guess it sort of was. Her b-date is this wednesday.

    Ed (who reads this) has developed this big huge crush on Karen, which isn't surprising. She's very funny and smart, yet with that cynical clarity that makes people interesting. She's also very good-looking, and was subsequently surrounded by a cloud of people during the entire party. She also already has a boyfriend, who had some sort of stern conversation with Ed. You know... it's very rare that smart, pretty, charming women are "available". They seem to go straight from relationship to relationship. Why? Because they can. Ha ha. Ha. The only way, it seems, to go out with them is to... (oh no. Management word.) ...proactively woo them, so that when they eventually DO become available, you'll be, uh, I dunno. First in line? Peh! It worked with Michelle. It pisses off their current boyfriend, though. Makes them have stern conversations with you. (Or, in the case of Michelle, makes them ask you to help them do heavy labor that you don't appear to be capable of.)

    So, I think Ed's on the right track, except that he lives a few hundred miles too south. And long distance relationships are really bad. (In my bitter, burned opinion, mind you.) Maybe he'll get hired by SGI and then transfer to the SGI offices up here. That would be funny, but probably only to me. See, this is why people hate me.

  People hate you?
    --- Oh yeah, people hate me like crazy. There's hordes of Andrew-haters. Well, not really. More like, hordes of indifferent people. Then there's the people that like me and the people that hate me, and I have a more intimate relationship with those last two groups than the big first one. You can actually go back and forth between those last two pretty easily.

    Lea (who also reads this) wrote to me, pretty pissed off that I suggested she was paranoid about Kris sleeping with someone else on monday. More, she was pissed because it seemed like I found it funny. ("Ho ho ho.") Now, when do I laugh? Do I laugh at others after something painful happens to them? No. Perhaps one of my other friends. I laugh immediately after I say something really sTUPID!@(!)#@()!#%

    Okay, thats all out of my system. I'd also like to say that although I am Julie's friend, I am only that. I didn't sit by her and watch her the entire time she was being sick after drinking too much (yesterday). Those of you getting funny ideas about me and her, cut it out.

    And on that front, I'm still alone, but I don't feel lonely. Go me. Now I'm really going to sleep because my masochistic band decided they all want to practice today.
