Well, another lengthy period has passed since I last posted here. Since not much changes on a daily basis around here it would be pointless to post much more often (ok, I'm rationalizing

Oh, Fuck the BACKPACK!

[nightcircle]

What a freaking baby I used to be! I remember coming back from the Riverwalk one day with stuffed animals from Disney, a Claudia tote bag and good food in my stomach and thinking, "We could have spent this money on a chair instead." I think I even said it out loud and got the famous John eye roll, the one that said, "Sure, so we can sit on a chair and do nothing with the whole of life and the city out there. You're fucked in the head." And I remember thinking that you two would throw away everything on the intangible and that there would never be anything to show for it. Except memory and experience and the forging of alliances. That part escaped me back then. It doesn't now.

Re: Oh, Fuck the BACKPACK!

No, I don't think it does escape you now. Let's face it, your entire mode of life up to that time was the exact opposite of what you were being asked to live in NO. I understand T's comment about not being in an NO sort of place anymore (and I know you're in the same boat) but the place served our purposes. Yes, you drove me absolutely insane back then but I'm pretty sure I didn't make you feel all warm and fuzzy either. The point was, everyone was going through massive life altering stuff, during which it's sort of hard to make nice-nice. Hell, by the time we were ready to make nice-nice, T was having his breakdown, over chicken-fried steak, no less. :)

Er, if "nice-nice" was present during or shortly after chicken fried steak, you wouldn’t have moved out.

Or is moving out better, thus "nicer", than the option of hanging about until all three of killed each other? :-) (Plausible)

Re: Oh, Fuck the BACKPACK!

[misterjohn]

Actually, nice-nice was beginning while you were raining on your meal. That's why M and I looked at each other in wonder when it began, because that *was* nice-nice. That's why I'd have lunch with M from time to time after the move out, because we were as friendly as we were going to get without going through some major, in-depth discussions and that wasn't going to happen while I was still angry with you. In fact, for my part, it didn't happen really until I moved over to the Westgate Anus.

I find the term "panic employment" ironic in light of the present circumstances, although now it's not quite "panic", but it's definitely "pretty damn quick".

It's a little hard to fully recall the dynamic back then, well, not without effort. Everything was so excruciating amplified back then; as though every penny, smirk or scowl could jar the pendulum. I can't honestly say I miss it, or 95% of the city right now.

From time to time, I've wondered how what would have happened if I dropped New Orleans and just stayed in Connecticut instead. That, or moved to San Francisco. I have a fair idea of how it would have turned out in both cases.

If youz guys moved out here, we would all be having fun going to movies and stuff like that. Calistoga, Bodega Bay, Sonoma, San Francisco, Berkeley, the Redwoods....all that shit, dude.

(Look, I didn't even turn this LJ comment thread into something perverted, even though it's in MisterJohn's LJ and all. I should get some kudos for this.)

Depends. Is "get some kudos" some sort of sexual euphemism?

Pretty Damn Quick Employment

Earthquakes, schmerthquakes. I got me a job with a major player in the world market and well, something in your face, etc. blah.

[handleschmandle]

All right, fancypants. You may be a big whizbang wheeler dealer with money to burn at your new high-falutin' job and wearing your giant shoulder-padded, hard business woman, power suits, but.....wait, what was I talking about?

Nobody Tells Baby to Wear Giant Shoulder Pads

[nightcircle]

Dude, I toadally am a whizbang wheeler dealer! How did you know?

See my secretary, Frank Hardy, taking a message for me?

Frank: I'm sorry, she doesn't speak to people who don't who I am.

[wewelsburg]

John so doesn't have his own LJ.

[handleschmandle]

Wait a second. This is John's LJ....?

Meow Says: Do you really think that pussy, Frank Hardy, can find me?

[nightcircle]

Do I have to choke a bitch to be able to take a cat nap around this place?

Re: Meow Says: Do you really think that pussy, Frank Hardy, can find me?

[misterjohn]

Good thing Meow stopped in for a visit, I think Ms. Schmandle was starting to grip her spoons a little too tightly staring at Frank.
Btw, this is sort of cool, I've got over 20 comments to this post. Ok, so they really have nothing to do with the original post, but...it's good to feel loved. :P

WOOOHOOOOO!

[handleschmandle]

Now I can finally unclench.
