MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Even though it is my personal goal to avoid stupid relationships I am resigned to the fact that in all relationships there is a level of bullshit.

With that in mind it is important to remember this rule:

"Every time I dictate how you feel is a victory."

I asked FN is she was going to talk about the terrible working conditions for workers in the 1800's on her textile final.

"No, I'm going to say: 'Cotton fibers are staple fibers and can be woven into jacquard weaves, double cloth, plain weaves, and other assorted weaves'"

"Oh." I said, "I thought you didn't want to be a house wife?"

"The average housewife doesn't know these things."

"Well yeah nowadays. Back when house wives were doing what they should have been they did. Now they're all trying to 'work' and 'vote' and 'speak out' about their 'opinions' I mean, they just lose sight of the important things."

"Well perhaps you should tell this to your new girl and then she'd agree to become one for you."

"I will. I just have to do it slowly. Yes, slowly cripple her mental state with constant pressure until I break her. Then it's the Fun Fair Riots with a grab bag of sex and christmas cookies that I've always wanted."

I'm currently listening to "Roxanne" by The Police and eating salt and vinegar Pringles. I cannot tell, for the life of me, if I am incredibly unhappy or incredibly content.

Lan said yesterday "If you don't fucking pick that up right now I swear to God I'm going to blind you."

He then left the room and came back a few seconds later.

"If you think I mean I'm going to gouge your eyes out, you're wrong. What I ment was that I'm going to nut all over your face."

Last night, CB, AD, NL, and I went to Pizza Hut, where after getting our drinks we agreed that our waitress was reasonably attractive. After our meal and paying the bill, it was quite obvious that despite her above average looks every other worker at Pizza Hut worshiped her. I guess it's just nice to know that everything is relative.

AD while creating a myspace profile said "Man I don't know who'd I like to meet. OH! How about Machivelli and Robocop?"

"Why would you want to meet Machivelli?" NL asked.

"I have no idea why I would want to meet the creator of democracy."

"Oh, that Machivelli, that's fine then."

My Government teacher today asked "Oliver Wendall Holmes said, 'You have the freedom of speech but not...' what?"

"The right to speak freely?" I guessed.

"No."

"Freedom to say what you want?"

"You're just guessing. Come on, this is a famous catch phrase from the 1920's!"

"Oh!" another classmate of mine exclaimed, "Did he say you have the right to free speech but not the right to ride those tricycles with the really big front wheel?"

December the 3rd marked my 10th year of living in the state of Texas.

I moved here in 3rd grade from North Carolina and haven't really looked back. Eventually I will probably invest in a bumper sticker that says "I wasn't born here but I got here as soon as I could."

Among other things, once being its own country, biggest state in the continental United State, and most of all "Texas, bigger than France", make it easily the coolest state in the union. Way cooler than pussy shit Maine or South Dakota.

I love Texas, don't mess with it!
