One thing you'll never hear from the media about the Pickton Trial

[_jonjuan_]

That the first words to come from the microphone at the very beginning of the trial didn't involve Pickton or the jury or evidence or the judge; the first words were from one lawyer to another, whispering: "I really have to pee!"

And now for something completely different: God, kittens, masturbation and you.

the internet has some awesome junk out there!

Crikey, I can only imagine what my ex wrote in my blog in response to your comment (he's since deleted it). Was it long and a waste of time to read? Probably. He's an idiot.

Don't worry, when I post on a public forum such as livejournal and purposely make my entry (and all related comments) public, anyone can read and anyone can comment, and I allow it to be your business (if you choose). My post was originally friends-only and I actually made it public so that some of my non-lj friends could read some of the stupidity that was being spewed.

And again, don't worry, I am nothing more than amused by this whole episode.

I still have the post in my e-mail inbox but good god is it ever not worth reading -- mostly posturing about how despite being super mean he's not a huge ass and here's a bunch of examples from your (over) relationship to prove it.

I just read what he was writing and remember what I was like after I broke up with my first girlfriend, clutching at straws to prove I was still a good guy while needing to take her down several pegs. It was a big power game, it got pathological, and the only way out was for me just to let go. Your exchange just sounded so similar that I had to say it...

The internet allows way more chances for exes to continue circling each other...Sounds like you're on the right track if you're taking it in stride...

Yeah, I have no actual desire to read it.

You should comment in my blog more often, if it's likely to stir up more controversy! My blog is not nearly controversial enough.

Can you actually go sit in on the trial by any chance or is it closed off to the public?

[_jonjuan_]

Yup -- yesterday there was a whole high school class there. Despite the number of media articles it's generating, there's lots of space in the overflow courtroom. If you line up early, you'll get to the main courtroom too!

Hmm...I have Friday free. Is it at the supreme court downtown or somewhere else? I need to know the details, media connections man!

[_jonjuan_]

Oh, forgot to mention, the court sits Monday to Thursday with the jury (which means evidence can be brought to bear) and then Friday it just deals with procedure. Probably means that Friday's not worth going if you want to see evidence...

Oh, and it's at the New West court, which is pretty close to the New West skytrain station.

How's that for details!
