I just spent a few minutes stalking everyone on OKC I could find who knows anything about Lisp -- as in, the programming language.  And Ruby.  And, for the hell of it, OCaml.

 

 

... people sometimes stumble across these.  I was randomly checking my e-mail settings, realized that they were set to a one-time fake e-mail I didn't even know I had, checked said e-mail, and -- duh.

I've redirected my e-mails from here to one of my 'real' e-mails so I can actually, you know, respond when people do something here -- since I know everyone who reads this (hi!) is on the edge of their seats about my e-mail settings. Well, no need to worry anymore! ;)

I wish I knew what everyone on OKC drove/moved themselves in.

Car? Truck? SUV? Bike? On foot? Tricycle? Unicycle? Moped? Their mother? 

Toyota? Honda? Ford? Nissan? Kia? Chevy? ....

Smart car? Subcompact? Coupe? Compact? Sedan? ...

 

Tank...

It's another Friday night -- except, this time, I actually realize it's Friday.

I have the apartment to myself, everyone's out of town this week and it's quiet, peaceful and lonely.

Colin Meloy is playing, a live performance of The Apology Song that's as heartbreaking as every.  I swear I have a crush on that man.

I could write software, I could read a book, I could keep organizing the shit out of everything -- going through stuff I've been avoiding for literally years -- or I could go out and make new friends.

I'm slowly realizing the obvious -- that life isn't just ideas, that nights are long and lonely (actually they're filled with creating code and sublime software, but we're being proverbial here) and life is short.

Why am I not out there doing something? Money? Fear? Cowardice?

Maybe next week -- it's obviously better to observe, write and think about life instead of living it.  God forbid I let my feelings get in the way of Being Perfect.  God forbid I go after those I love, say hello to someone awesome at the supermarket or doing anything that Isn't Perfect.  God forbid I let some feelings show or make a goddamn mistake.  It's obviously better to do nothing, than fail, right? Oy.

Gotta love angsty journal posts.  If I could get paid for this shit, I could clean up.  Think of the un-tapped power of the collective adolescent gutspill in the world.  It's staggering.  Solve the goddamn energy crisis by tapping America's greatest resource -- angsty teenagers.

Does smoking disgust you?

• Yes
• No

99% of the time it's disgusting and gross and smelly. Done right, however, it can sometimes in can look really sexy, in the right light. Briefly. It helps if you have crush first. ;)

Do you like to cuddle after sex?

• Yes.
• No.
• Sometimes - It depends.
• I am a virgin or I don't know.

It really depends on the person and the situation.

Sometimes I feel all hot, sweaty and winded and don't want to be touched. Othertimes I really want to cling to the person and hold them tight and never let them go. Sometimes, especially when it isn't very intense, I just want to get back to what I was doing, or, on occasion, have a really good idea about how to code something and have to go work on it.

It also depends if it's condom sex or bareback; the latter is much more emotional. It also depends on if it's hand, fast and passionate, or just hand and fast. Ideally, it'd be hard, fast and passionate sometimes, and slow and very loving most of the time. I think.

Also, it'd be really fun to cuddle afterwards and look up at the stars and discuss Life, The Universe, and Everything. I've always wanted to do that, hell sex isn't required but it probably helps break down barriers and get the ball rolling.

If you don't do anything at all for an entire day, how does that make you feel?

• Good
• Bad

This makes me feel bad; I very much like Getting Things Done.  However, if I lounge around on the couch and read books all day, that still counts, both as relaxing and as learning (to an extent).  Doing the same and watching TV makes me feel icky.  And, honestly, I'd probably have to wash some dishes and/or do some laundry and/or take out the trash even if I did lounge around all day.
