Monday

Kara says (8:48 PM):

Happy Monday!

Amanda says (8:48 PM):

Monday Funday!

How are you?

Kara says (8:49 PM):

I am freaking excellent. I’ve cut back on smoking cigarettes. I’ve stopped drinking fizzy drinks. I’ve gone to the gym 3 times in 4 days. And…i have 3 lbs to go on my 7 lbs in 1 week goal. I feel amazing.

Amanda says (8:50 PM):

You’re disgusting slash inspiring

Kara says (8:50 PM):

thank you

Amanda says (8:50 PM):

Starting tomorrow I am going to do some things.

Kara says (8:50 PM):

hahaha

like what?

Amanda says (8:50 PM):

Starting Tomorrow. The name of my memoir ha ha.

I dunno

Kara says (8:50 PM):

hahaha i like it

Amanda says (8:50 PM):

Exercise, healthy eating? The possibilities are endless.

I still think it’s sick that you lost a pound a day

that’s 4000 calories!

Kara says (8:51 PM):

but…I was eating Wendys like all the time

Amanda says (8:51 PM):

I had a very fun day of little wonders

Kara says (8:51 PM):

tell me about it

Amanda says (8:52 PM):

Well it started later than I would like, but whatever. I was faced with the challenge of having to go up to campus and do a bunch of paperwork crap, but I hauled my ass to the bus stop to find a mom and her little boy

and the little boy looked at me

right matter of fact

he was about seven

and he said

“I like your style.”

Kara says (8:52 PM):

YES

hahaha

Kara says (8:53 PM):

amazing!

Amanda says (8:53 PM):

And I smiled and then I thought what a great sign first thing in the morning

Kara says (8:53 PM):

I would say!

Amanda says (8:53 PM):

and from there it was entirely possible to get through the monotony.

 I am trying to exude a more positive energy

Kara says (8:55 PM):

Good for you. I’m trying to as well… I find myself constantly checking my attitude. It stinks for the most part lately. haha But…the gym has been helping me vent.

Amanda says (8:56 PM):

I am thinking I might going hot yoga after our bash session the other day I was informed that you burn 1200 an hour. Fucking sick

I’m listening to a hot self-proclaimed “clown” talking about using raw materials in her one-woman show. Gotta love this city.

Kara says (8:56 PM):

That is sick. I don’t know how on board i am, personally, with group activities.

Amanda says (8:56 PM):

Also, the spoken word starts tomorrow

http://martlet.ca/article/20371-poetry-scene-slams-into-vic

Amanda says (8:57 PM):

woot

Kara says (8:57 PM):

right on

Kara says (8:58 PM):

I had a link for you that was given to me from my friend grace, pertaining to more tasteful artistic porn…i misplaced it remind me to get it from her and give it to you.

Amanda says (8:58 PM):

I’m not really that big into porn, man, but thanks. I’m more of a doer myself.

Amanda says (8:59 PM):

not so much of a watcher hahah.

Kara says (8:59 PM):

bahaha

Amanda says (8:59 PM):

I’m thinking about buying docs, wool socks, and tights…how does this make you feel?

Kara says (8:59 PM):

hmmmm it reminds me of Busy from… fuck….what was that show…

Kara says (9:00 PM):

this is embarrassing…

Amanda says (9:00 PM):

Bizzy and Amanda

that was a great show

Kara says (9:00 PM):

yes!

hahaha

Amanda says (9:00 PM):

My So-Called Life

Kara says (9:00 PM):

mmmm no.

Kara says (9:01 PM):

I don’t think that’s what it was called.

Amanda says (9:01 PM):

no that was Claire Daines

hmmm

Kara says (9:01 PM):

fuck… I need to Google “Canadian coming of age shows circa 1992.”

Amanda says (9:01 PM):

hahahaha

Amanda says (9:02 PM):

Roadrunner is playing in a cafe.

So my book proposal was a giant failure ha ha. As are first drafts. I have to do a complete overhaul in less than 20 days . Did I mention it’s a fifty pager lol

That’s perfect.

I love it

Kara says (9:03 PM):

Thats not so bad.

Amanda says (9:03 PM):

So how are  you anyway

Kara says (9:03 PM):

What do you mean?

haha

Amanda says (9:03 PM):

I’m moving in like 20 ish days and I will be home soon

Kara says (9:03 PM):

good.

Amanda says (9:03 PM):

I mean how is single life.

Kara says (9:04 PM):

I love it. I love the “me time” haha I feel like everything is going as planned.

Amanda says (9:05 PM):

Here’s a secret, there is no plan.

Life is one giant mess.

ha

Kara says (9:05 PM):

a giant hot mess… but my mess is manageable.

I feel like i’m in control again.

Kara says (9:06 PM):

hahaha control is freedom for me.

Amanda says (9:06 PM):

siccck I think there’s a name for that.

Oh fuck

Amanda says (9:07 PM):

Ever run into someone everywhere and feel like either 1. you are being stalked or 2. you might look like a stalker

that is what is happening right now

Kara says (9:08 PM):

I do, and I’m not sure what is a acceptable way of handling that.

Do you make the awkward conversation?

Amanda says (9:08 PM):

nope

we aren’t there

Kara says (9:08 PM):

or do you pray it never happens again

hahaha

Amanda says (9:08 PM):

it takes way longer to ‘get there’ in this city

‘getting there’ is like a warm bath

it’s not like the East Coast that way

Amanda says (9:09 PM):

I bought cat litter today, that made me feel productive.

And I planned my life woot woot.

You should keep on eye on seat sales.

I’m outta here to write kid.

xoxo

Kara says (9:09 PM):

progress.

Enjoy the rest of your day dear.

Sunday

Kara says:

 Good day!

Amanda says:

 HOLA

Kara says:

 Tell me about your weekend

Amanda says:

 I’m trying to think of some things haha

 you?

 I’m increasingly interested in porn

Kara says:

 hahaha well that’s interesting, what kind of porn?

Amanda says:

A friend mentioned it to me

 it’s like nothing I’ve seen. I’m not a huge porn person. But it’s pretty great

 the women aren’t ridiculously good looking etc.

 www.ifeelmyself.com

Kara says:

 and what do you find interesting about this?

Amanda says:

 its honesty maybe.

Kara says:

 What do you, personally find great about it?

Amanda says:

shut up

 this isn’t an interview

 look for yourself.

 How was your weekend?

Kara says:

 yes it is.

 hahaha

 I had an amazing weekend, Friday I was at a house party and I got extremely fucked up, I don’t remember half of it. Saturday I went to visit my aunt kim, and met a couple of pagans. I had a huuuge conversation with them.

 It was amazing, they inspired me, and one of them looked like stevie nicks.

Amanda says:

 ha ha. Inspired you how?

Kara says:

 They just had really free and good and positive energy, it was beautiful.

Amanda says:

 that is beautiful. That’s how I felt about the show I went to on Friday

Kara says:

 What’d you see?

Amanda says:

 It was a cd release party for “My Lovely Son” and the woman that opened was incredible.

 Nikole Texidor

Kara says:

 ahhh i see, what kind of music do they play?

Amanda says:

 it’s hard to explain, just check it out: www.myspace.com/mylovelyson

 So house party how was that?

Kara says:

 It was fucked, they called it a swingers party, which ha-ha funny its not really going to be a swingers party….but it was with the kind of people that it could have turned into an actual swingers party and not surprised anyone.

 I remember people wearing fur coats and panties…

 dance parties, and that’s all I recall

Amanda says:

 that’s pretty hot depending on the people.

 I want to get into photography I think.

 that would be a nice start.

Kara says:

 It was fantastic. I think that is a beautiful hobby, you should think about it. I’ve been thinking about buying a nice camera

 and getting my friend ryan to teach me how to take pretty pictures.

Amanda says:

 On a completely unrelated note. Your thoughts on porn?

Kara says:

 I’m down with porn, I find the concept interesting, I enjoy hearing about what people are into, it’s always shocking, and generally very different from how their own bedroom romps.

 operate.

 hahaha

Amanda says:

“This stuff is pretty artistic: “IFM is a project that defies categorisation. Our society tends to draw distinctions between pornography and erotica, art and sex. We desire to allow them to intersect without exclusivity, and we want to cross the borders between these categories to create a holistic erotic experience. “

it is quite cool.

Kara says:

 thats quite a mission statement.

 its ballsy.

 hahaha

Do you think it’s as tasteful as they are saying it is?

 in your opinion.

Amanda says:

 Yes.

 for the most part.

 I don’t have much to compare it to but it reminds me of this grassroots lesbian erotica film series I watched last year. This woman who wanted to depict a less stereotypical lesbian sex experience

 it’s tough though right because it’s all generalities.

 I like something with a story. Drama. Tension.

Kara says:

 climax. hahaha

 I can’t say I really look that deeply into things, i’m going to have to inspect this tasteful porn. I’ll be honest here though, while i’m all for porn, i just don’t get the point.

 I’d rather make my own.

Amanda says:

 how so?

Kara says:

 I think that would be more interesting to watch.

Amanda says:

 I agree…but it can become problematic.

Kara says:

 more so then…”wow, that womans pussy squirted 12′, how’d she do it?”

 ya know

Amanda says:

 I get a kick out of people who get paid to review porn

 tough day at the office for a writer.

Kara says:

 I think it would be awful. How do you make the most natrual human interaction fresh every day?

Amanda says:

  by using lots of consonance and assonance.

Kara says:

 how many different ways can we say hot pussy

 hahaha

Amanda says:

  you would be surprised.

chaud chat.

Kara says:

 hahaha

 jesus, tell me something exciting.

Amanda says:

 hardly

 I’ve been up to my eyeballs in a book proposal

Kara says:

 oooo

Amanda says:

 you’re the unemployed freshly single person

 are you not?

Kara says:

 I am. and I have stories…off the record stories though

Amanda says:

 booo

Kara says:

 it has to be that way.

 hahaha

Amanda says:

 you’re an asshole.

 how’s living in your parent’s basement?

Kara says:

 It’s not so bad, my mom is a sweetheart. I could see how it might be rough if she was a gay hater, but i know I could bring home 5 lesbians at any given time for any given reason, and she really wouldn’t care. Not that i’d want to bring anyone to moms basement.

 But its nice knowing she’d be fine with that.

 haha

Amanda says:

 it might be a turn off.

  I have been wheeling and dealing on craigslist for cheap furniture

Kara says:

 ohh anything particular your looking for?€

 I need a bed.

 haha

Amanda says:

 a bed would be nice. kitchen table and chairs. couch. jukebox. etc.

Kara says:

 ooooooo

 going all out

Amanda says:

 Ash and I really want to make it our own little nest. One item at a time.

 it will all be second hand

 vintage living

Kara says:

 mmmm sweet.

 thats how it happens…one item at a time…

 should the worst happen, remember, anything you want you have to move.

 juuuuust sayin

 haha

Amanda says:

 You feeling bitter?

 haha

Kara says:

 a little. but is that so wrong?

Amanda says:

 No. Are you undergoing the castration complex from losing your tv?

Kara says:

 Oh god no, it has nothing to do with things at all. I couldn’t care less about the tv at this point. What frustrates me is…

 fuck.

 hahaha

 I don’t even know how to explain it… it still beyond words at this point.

Amanda says:

 hahahha

  you should write about it!

Kara says:

 I know I should…. that’s another thing I’ve been thinking about…writing.

 just to sort things out ya know

 a lot of silly stuff has been happening and I’d like to have it written down before it gets lost in the fog

Amanda says:

Goodnight dear. I’m going to get lost in the fog.

Thursday

Kara says (9:38 PM):

Holla!

Amanda says (9:39 PM):

Yo yo.

Rainy day snooze here.

how about yourself?

Kara says (9:39 PM):

Ahhh I had the best day ever!

I’ve been making lists…

Amanda says (9:39 PM):

explanations are on hand?

Amanda says (9:40 PM):

What kind of lists?

Kara says (9:40 PM):

hahaha lists in my head… well ok maybe not even as progressed as a list. l I’ve been setting one small goal a day and doing it.

Amanda says (9:40 PM):

Me too! What’s your favourite list number?

Amanda says (9:41 PM):

I feel pretty damn good if I can do three major things a day.

What was on today’s list?

Kara says (9:41 PM):

Go to the gym, and I went, and I worked out harder and longer then I was when I was going 4 times a week. I feel like a champion right now.

Amanda says (9:42 PM):

This is what happens when people stop fucking.

Kara says (9:42 PM):

I also cleaned the whole house top to bottom, made plans for tomorrow, and decided that my “long term” (one week-ish goal) is to drop 7 lbs.

hahaha

hahaha

Amanda says (9:42 PM):

 wowza…are you ridiculous.

You should never lose more than 2-3 pounds a week.

Amanda says (9:43 PM):

It’s unhealthy.

Kara says (9:43 PM):

No not when people stop…when people need to start.

Amanda says (9:43 PM):

ha ha ha

this is pro-active to your upcoming career in single fucking.

I like it.

Just date a woman in top physical shape.

You think it would inspire me?

Instead, I just feel lucky and stare A LOT.

Kara says (9:44 PM):

hahaha

Amanda says (9:44 PM):

whilst eating my cookies.,

Fantasies about gym locker room sex have always been high on my list.

Kara says (9:44 PM):

thats interesting.

why the gym?

Amanda says (9:44 PM):

 Cliche, I know. But I think it would be a feat.

I like challenges.

it seems easy at first

Amanda says (9:45 PM):

right?

you’re both naked

in a room

with showers

but there is a great chance that in the 52 seconds it takes me to seduce someone, another party has walked in

so you either opt for the orgy

or go full shower.

I think it would be a challenge.

Kara says (9:45 PM):

the y has saunas in the locker rooms, you know they’re tainted

Amanda says (9:45 PM):

bahahaha

tainted

Amanda says (9:46 PM):

plus you have to give her the thirty two seconds to decide if she’s “really straight.”

 saunas

no thanks

it’s like hot yoga

why

Kara says (9:46 PM):

hahaha

Amanda says (9:46 PM):

why do that to yourself

?

We are not lobsters. We do not need to be boiled.

It’s a weightloss thing, I get it…. but dear god.

There’s a reason I don’t wear turtle necks.

Kara says (9:47 PM):

hahaha

Amanda says (9:47 PM):

On your agenda tonight?

tomorrow?

Kara says (9:48 PM):

Tomorrow, I want to go to aqua-jog. however I’d be satisfied with another hour or so at the gym, then tomorrow night drinks with ashley mc. and the dean machine, and I also have to paint mom a picture for her birthday.

Woah.

Kara says (9:49 PM):

for a second, half a second, I almost convinced myself I could be a house wife if That’s all I ever had to do.

Amanda says (9:50 PM):

I love that your mom guilts you into artwork. Ahh share-bear. Don’t do a nude, it would be too Freudian.

Yes, I went there.

Kara says (9:50 PM):

hahaha she likes the lesbo ones, they’re her fave. Either way they all wind up in a chest with the collages from preschool.

Amanda says (9:51 PM):

bahahhahah

with your teeth, I suspect.

Kara says (9:51 PM):

mmhhmm

a few

Amanda says (9:51 PM):

What is it with keeping teeth.

I don’t understand

Amanda says (9:51 PM):

Are they not biohazardous?

Kara says (9:51 PM):

me either, I’ve slowly been throwing out the teeth she kept

Amanda says (9:51 PM):

I guess they wouldn’t decompose

I don’t know

Kara says (9:51 PM):

there might be one left

Amanda says (9:51 PM):

It’s sick

my mom does it

did it

Kara says (9:51 PM):

…a little fang

Amanda says (9:52 PM):

haha

siiiick

Kara says (9:52 PM):

i know, IN HER JEWLERY BOX! Of all places

Amanda says (9:52 PM):

I saw a person with a little fang today

How do you know?!

Kara says (9:52 PM):

its still there

hahaha

Amanda says (9:53 PM):

So I saw the coolest thing go down on public transit today

Kara says (9:53 PM):

oh?

Amanda says (9:53 PM):

I was beyond uber impressed

so everyone always has the ipod buds, no worries, but today a chick was actually

SOLO DANCING

to her music

on the bus

Kara says (9:53 PM):

nice!

Amanda says (9:53 PM):

while people watched.

and then pretended not to watch.

Amanda says (9:54 PM):

she took up two seats with her moves.

Kara says (9:54 PM):

I don’t blame her, if I had headphones I’d dance.

Amanda says (9:54 PM):

I liked it.

I would bop

There’s a difference.

Kara says (9:54 PM):

hahaha the world needs more dancing

Amanda says (9:54 PM):

I agree.

I’m a bopper even at clubs.

It’s what all bartenders and perverts do. Bop.

Kara says (9:54 PM):

hahaha

I’ll agree with that

Amanda says (9:55 PM):

awful.

You are a grinder a bet

All hips Doucet

Kara says (9:55 PM):

bahahaha yeah all that junk in the trunk baby

haha

Amanda says (9:55 PM):

you don’t have a trunk. You have a glove compartment. You are ridiculously thing.

thin

Amanda says (9:56 PM):

If you lose seven pounds I’ll punch ya

Kara says (9:56 PM):

hahaha you’ll come home to punch me?

you’re on!

Kara says (9:57 PM):

hahaha I was just thinking, I watched seven pounds the other day….

Amanda says (9:57 PM):

My flight arrives in Charlottetown December 9th, I will be in Fredericton for milady’s graduation ceremony and cuddle fests beginning December 13-18. Five day window.

Kara says (9:57 PM):

It looked so good, but I totally fell asleep

Punching window?

Amanda says (9:57 PM):

yes

Kara says (9:57 PM):

We’re going for a drive, I’ll borrow Sherri’s sweet ride, and we’re driving for no less than 2 hours

Amanda says (9:58 PM):

 I like that. Perhaps we will go on a scavenger hunt?

Kara says (9:58 PM):

I don’t see why we wouldn’t

Amanda says (9:58 PM):

Alright I’m off to finish this. I miss you and all that shiat.

Kara says (9:58 PM):

likewise!

Amanda says (9:58 PM):

happy weekend.

Wednesday

Tonight Amanda is a little under the weather, and despite our best efforts at a conversation it was evident that getting well is far more important.

 So Amanda rest up, drink tea, read a book, have a bath, drink more tea, and sleep on it. It’s a large list of things to, but I promise you it will help.

In other news, I went to the mall today and was shocked to hear Christmas music playing already. Halloween was only 5 days ago, boxes of chocolate and chips and other treats have just been put on clearance. I thought that there was a rule in society that Christmas activities before Remembrance Day were the most disrespectful things that one could possibly do. I also thought it was rumoured that the center of the Legion’s poppy’s were changed from green to black, because the red and green seemed too Christmas-y . My question is why do we feel the need to make the Christmas season two months long? 

It was smart though, I credit whoever came up with “Revised Box Store Christmas Music Policy 2.3”. I know that underneath the peace on earth, good will toward man, happy birthday Jesus… It was taunting me a little bit reminding me that I’m unprepared. I haven’t made lists, I haven’t any scotch tape and wrapping paper, I haven’t even gotten my mittens down from the closet yet for Christ sake. It’s all too soon for me! My new plan is to make a large Christmas list put it in a jar and revisit it in 5 weeks.  Sweet lists, sweet bliss. Make a list Amanda, its always the first step in sorting through colds, coughs, and chaos.

Tuesday

Kara says:

 bahaha had to get my bed from the shed.

Amanda says:

 and here, I thought I was being stood up.

 bed from shed?

Kara says:

 Yes… air mattress… every day I collect my few things that aren’t in storage… and store them in the shed in order to pretend that I don’t really live here on the basement floor for when people come through the house pretending like they want to buy it

Amanda says:

 Also- one of our readers made mention of the term genderqueer and I thought I would provide this link to everyone: http://www.amazon.ca/GenderQueer-Voices-Beyond-Sexual-Binary/dp/1555837301

  That’s interesting

 you are almost a secret agent

Kara says:

 hahaha almost…. much less glamorous.

Amanda says:

 So not much in way of the news except for rambling bus conversations but I’ve been doing lots of research and have a few things we can talk about. First, how was your day?

Kara says:

 My day was delightful, I spent 5 hours outside gardening. It was sweet bliss.

Amanda says:

 Gardening what?

Kara says:

 ….a favor for A’s mom that i’ve been putting off for three years, I was stressed about it, but, she let me do what I wanted and it turned out really awesome.

Amanda says:

 Hmmmm…..I ran across the term “invisible femme” thought it might be of interest. 2. I sat beside my twin on the bus 3. I’ve been reading lots of mo literature 4. I gave my two cents to the man today

Kara says:

 hahaha

 you had a busy day.

Amanda says:

 Where would you like to start with nine minutes remaining?

Kara says:

 invisible femme

Amanda says:

 ok two minutes

Kara says:

 Let’s start at the beginning

Amanda says:

 Basically, you or I

Kara says:

 which means…

Amanda says:

  you were saying the other day we aren’t particularly femme but next to some lesbians in our community we might appear that way

 I would disagree out here, but back home I sort of see your point.

Kara says:

 right.

Amanda says:

 So there. we have a new slapstick ready made label. I don’t really like it though. Your thoughts?

Kara says:

 I think it is… silly.

 who coined this?

 where did you hear it, and in what context?

Amanda says:

 in a review of that queer lit bok

 so an academic context, I suppose

 why silly?

Kara says:

 we’ll ballsy women… not invisible femme… I just think that invisible really implies a whole lot of negativity.

Amanda says:

 this blogger talks about it: http://leadthewayout.com/invisible-femme/

Kara says:

 obvious butch

 ya know

 rude

Amanda says:

 not according to her

 it’s subversive

 anyway

 next?

Kara says:

 two cents to the man

Amanda says:

 ok

Kara says:

 tell me about it

Amanda says:

 this little self help video I stumbled across on my search to spiritual enlightenment

 anyways

 it’s supposed to be all

 awesome

 and Canadian

 and helpful

 and I kindly wrote a letter

Kara says:

 a strongly worded letter?

Amanda says:

 saying that using the male and female interlocking symbols every time the word ‘love’ is mentioned in the video would probably be a kick in the face to any queers who were already bummed out and that this group should kindly resvisit their marketing approach in future artistic endeavors

 I got an instant reply

 And they “can’t believe they didn’t think of that”

Jesus.

 Anyway one point ‘mos.

Kara says:

 hahaha

Amanda says:

 Next video there will be shout out.

Kara says:

 good for you.

Amanda says:

 ok

Kara says:

 jann arden…

Amanda says:

 there ya go

I think jann arden would be awesome to chill with

Kara says:

 I watched an interview on canada am with her…

 I agree… she was hilarious.

Amanda says:

 I heard her give jian ghomeshi a run

Kara says:

 no doubt.

Amanda says:

 she is actually funny. and her singing makes me cry like a child.

 ”good mother”

 ahhh. heart string puller, Jann.

  tell me something interesting about your day.

 this has been one sided lol. If you could do jann arden or amanda marshall who would you do

Kara says:

 amanda marshall.

 because of her wild hair… and deep raspy voice.

 I dig that.

 and… based on cds I own… i’ve got more amanda marshall cds…

 but…

 Alanis is the royal flush…she beats everyone

Amanda says:

 She looks too much like a person I grew up with.

 AM was the first concert I went to

 she is beautiful. I hear Ani D wasn’t so hot in Victoria. I asked around. I would still want to see her live.

Kara says:

 awe that’s rough.. I was hoping you’d make out with her, get back stage, and so on.

Amanda says:

  not this time. Next time, Canada.

 Alright I’m off to bed.

 and by ‘bed’ I mean

 writing ten thousand things and reading twelve thousand things.

Monday

Amanda says (6:04 PM):

Helllllllllo

Kara says (6:04 PM):

Hello Dear!

Amanda says (6:05 PM):

When you come here I’m taking you to the greatest restaurant ever. STAGE.

Best food you will ever taste

Kara says (6:05 PM):

Whats so great about it?

Amanda says (6:05 PM):

small plates so you can’t be a piggy. Last night I ate octopus, mushrooms, soy beans, garlic bread, and chocolate patte.

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Amanda says (6:06 PM):

How is life my dear?

Kara says (6:06 PM):

Well other then spending my day in the emergency room… I don’t have any complaints, I looked like shit all day, and saw a pretty hot paramedic…but I can’t explain what was hot about her…

Amanda says (6:06 PM):

try

Amanda says (6:07 PM):

I dare you

It’s because she could bench press you I bet

I’m into women who know how to fire guns.

Kara says (6:07 PM):

I don’t even know… she just looked like a top….lean, nice face… and older…

hahaha

Amanda says (6:07 PM):

But I’m also into stepping on toes…not a good combo

Kara says (6:07 PM):

well…about 40

hahaha

Amanda says (6:07 PM):

I think older women are hot.

Kara says (6:08 PM):

I think older is my preference.

Amanda says (6:08 PM):

 Paramedic fantasies seems like a good way to start your day. Are they on strike back home or is this only an out west thing?

Kara says (6:08 PM):

hmmm must be a western thing….

Amanda says (6:09 PM):

They still do their jobs, obviously, they just wear a sign that says “on strike”

Kara says (6:09 PM):

What are they fighting for?

Amanda says (6:10 PM):

 Well I’m sure they don’t get paid enough and their hours are probably insane. But those are just guesses. If you could work in a field where you were in a position of authority or power or necessity what would you be?

Kara says (6:11 PM):

  good question…. I would want to be a judge….Judge Judy to be specific. How about you? Oil Tycoon?

Amanda says (6:12 PM):

I think fire fighter.

 I would have to beef up.

You would be a hilarious judge

Kara says (6:12 PM):

I feel like I could wind up getting sued a lot

hahaha

Amanda says (6:13 PM):

 How is your heart, by the way?

 Nobody sues the Jude. Judge Judy would kick ‘em.

Kara says (6:14 PM):

I am A-Ok… having a kitten helps, it needs me. Other than that, I’m thinking about running down to Moncton to hear Deepak Chopra speak on the 9th… I decided I’d like to take a little me time and I think his books might be inspiring.

Amanda says (6:15 PM):

Doo it. I would in a minute. I also recommend retail therapy and sweaty yoga.

What’s he talking about?

Kara says (6:15 PM):

Retail therapy can wait…broken home Christmas always pays off for me.

Kara says (6:16 PM):

hahaha

Amanda says (6:16 PM):

bahahah

I always know all my gifts before the time gets here anyway.

Kara says (6:17 PM):

no surprises?

My mom still gives presents from Santa…

and waits until we’re sleeping to put them out

my mom is a Christmas fiend though

Amanda says (6:17 PM):

We just ruined Christmas for any stumbling children. I recommend removing these parts.

My mom signs gifts from the animals.

Amanda says (6:18 PM):

As if my cat has time to shop and I don’t.

Kara says (6:18 PM):

hahaha mom and mark do that too

Amanda says (6:18 PM):

I heard David Copperfield was in Saint John

Kara says (6:18 PM):

Yes he was, in fact, Joey went to the show.

Amanda says (6:18 PM):

What did he think?

Kara says (6:19 PM):

It fucked him up. hahahaha He came home completely amazed, sharing all the stories about how he was 10′ away from him when he turned tissue paper into a real rose.

Kara says (6:20 PM):

I think he secretly wants to be a magician.

Amanda says (6:20 PM):

I think it would quite incredibly to see it live. You should also read Eckhart Tolle–I’ve heard nothing but good things from my bro.

Kara says (6:20 PM):

Any title in particular?

Amanda says (6:20 PM):

Power of Now

Amanda says (6:21 PM):

it’s a spiritual enlightenment self help book

Kara says (6:21 PM):

fair enough! I’ll put it on the Christmas list.

hahaha

Amanda says (6:21 PM):

 I’m getting an IPod (finally joining the rest of white middle class society) and books and bras. All I need.

Amanda says (6:22 PM):

I did want to tell you something cool to bring home to East folks.

Kara says (6:22 PM):

I’m still holding out… I don’t need one, the blackberry does everything

Amanda says (6:24 PM):

Over here, it’s common practice to ask people which pronoun they’d like to be referred to as. It’s slightly problematic because nobody has asked me it because I don’t present myself as ambiguous (whatever that is supposed to look like). Anyway, it was cool to know that our fellow queers have lots of options. Zir is often a neutral term, from what I gather instead of his/her. 

I have to do more research

I just thought it was neat however complicated and however forgetful that ambiguity can be present in other ways besides visual presentation.

Amanda says (6:25 PM):

I’ve never been asked which pronoun I prefer.

Kara says (6:25 PM):

That is interesting…. on somewhat of the topic…Chastity Bono… is undergoing hormone therapy in the beginning stages of her sex change.

He is now referred to as Chas.

Amanda says (6:25 PM):

Who is this?

I like Chas

I dated a Chas

Kara says (6:25 PM):

Daughter of Sonny Bono, and Cher

Amanda says (6:26 PM):

 Cher what a lady.

Kara says (6:26 PM):

Indeed

Amanda says (6:27 PM):

That’s awesome news. I will keep sending you observations from the queer den.  It’s very interesting to see the difference between communities from east to west.

Diverse indeed.

I miss you missus. Get well and we will chat tomorrow.

Kara says (6:27 PM):

Of course! I need food and sleep, enjoy the rest of your day

Sunday

Amanda says:

let’s chat?

Kara says:

sure!

How was your weekend?!

Amanda says:

It was good but quiet. I fought a rare cocktail, I wouldn’t call it swine but it was coldish and swinish.

I’m on  top of my game today

and happy I didn’t abuse my body.

What about you?

Kara says:

Well, I’m running on very little sleep, I wound up not going out. I’m still sick. Over all the weekend was good though, we got everything moved in 48 stressful hours. And now, I’m at my mom’s house, with my the new kitten, she’s making a turkey dinner, things are good.

Amanda says:

You and the pussy. Did you name it?

Kara says:

Birken. I figure it’s fairly gender neutral, I still don’t know what sex it is and I wouldn’t want to give it a complex.

Mom’s dogs don’t know what it is…bailey hasn’t seen anything smaller then himself ever.

Amanda says:

 That’s cute. Birken Stock. I like it. What are your plans for today? How is it being back at home?

And I lied: I went to queer yoga on Friday night

I did ’something’

And I watched a reality show about people who work in Whistler and I was quite entertained. Damn you mtv.

Kara says:

Good for you! MTV…it’ll getcha.

I spent a summer watching mtv…back when Canada first got it.

I was sad then

hahaha

Amanda says:

 It’s not overly clever but somehow still amusing. Then I watched this amazing reality show where this mega Hair Goddess Bitch goes in and takes over people’s hair salons. On slice. I wanted to be her and is it just me or does everything sound more exact in an English accent?

Kara says:

exact/proper.

I love slice, almost as much as I love A&E

there are some funny shows on slice.

hahaha

I wish I had an accent other then dumb east coaster.

“Shore” or “SUUURE”

Amanda says:

I love the east coast slang. I MISS IT.

Kara says:

it’s right good.

Amanda says:

bahahah

dontcha know

sorry that was Sarah Palin

she channels me from time to time

plans. for. today.

Kara says:

eat supper….inflate air mattress in basement…. and…perhaps watch Sunday night cartoons…that’s about it..that’s life on the northside

how about you? its still early over yonder

Amanda says:

over yonder

ha

Kara says:

you have time to seize the day

Amanda says:

meeting with a new friend for le coffee, working on my book proposal and going with Kelsey S to a fancy yummy restaurant.

and then working on my book proposal

ha

awesome!

plus laundry

Sundays= +laundry

tomorrow I have a massage.

Why don’t you ever go for massages?! With the work you do it could be beneficial dontcha know.

Kara says:

I need one! I pulled no less than 1000 muscles moving

I need to hunt down your gf

get a good rough rub down

hahaha

Amanda says:

 Bahahaha. That sounded awful! You’re lucky I like you.

Kara says:

I know.

hahaha

Amanda says:

 we are boring this weekend BOR-ING.

Kara says:

It can’t be helped…

I’ll be going to Halifax soon, then I’m hoping to have all kinds of nonsense to share

Amanda says:

 I think I’m going to Vancouver soon too. I want a small adventure.

OH I FORGOT

torch relay

Kara says:

what?

Amanda says:

that happened here

Kara says:

hahaha

Amanda says:

that’s exciting

if you’re into that kind of thing.

Kara says:

I was watching it on tv….on friday when we were talking

Amanda says:

Silken Teeth’n was giving a great interview on how heavy it was to carry.

Kara says:

The torch looks like a joint.

HAHAHAHA

Amanda says:

She’s all teeth when she smiles. It’s not a bad thing. JUST SAYING.

 it’s smaller than I imagined- the torch (not her smile)

Kara says:

the athlete superstars didn’t even have to take it 300m

Amanda says:

and it looks renovated. Was it always so space age in design? Is it new every year?

Kara says:

I think it gets designed by the host country

like the medals

so of course it looks like a joint, and of course it started in BC

Amanda says:

People here staged protests

Kara says:

and of course Simon Whittaker was one of the first to carry it

the common denominator is weed.

Amanda says:

 There was a zombie walk.

true.

Them westerners right like the weed, eh?

Kara says:

Canada in general, the good stuff I hear comes from the west though

Amanda says:

Rent “The Union”.

Ok have a good night, daffodil. I’m off to start my day.

Thursday

Kara says (5:42 PM):

Good day!

Amanda says (5:43 PM):

hola

what’s shaking single lady?

Kara says (5:44 PM):

Not a whole lot… I’m sick, the air mattress is terrible, but on the plus side, I’ve had a lot of coffee, and got a lot of packing and cleaning done. All I have left is my clothes, and the PS3 left to pack up.

and the fridge.

Amanda says (5:44 PM):

Sick

that’s the worst

“the worst”

Kara says (5:44 PM):

haha I think I have H1N1… I should have taken your advice and got the shot.

Kara says (5:45 PM):

hahaha

Amanda says (5:45 PM):

I didn’t get it

Kara says (5:45 PM):

I don’t even know the symptoms.

Amanda says (5:45 PM):

I’m a hypocrite, remember?

Kara says (5:45 PM):

How could I forget.

Amanda says (5:45 PM):

puking. shitting. coughing. sounding swiney.

I don’t know.

Kara says (5:45 PM):

hmmm then maybe it’s just my allergies.

hahaha

Kara says (5:46 PM):

How’s your day going, what are you up to tonight?

Amanda says (5:46 PM):

Actually, there’s this swanky little Grad at Home Pizza party I’m attending. Swanky like that.

Kara says (5:47 PM):

swanky… hahaha

Amanda says (5:47 PM):

I want to come.

just for a visit.

right now.

Kara says (5:47 PM):

I think you should.

Amanda says (5:47 PM):

my friend thinks she witnessed a murder the other day. Isn’t that wild.

Kara says (5:47 PM):

WHAT

Amanda says (5:47 PM):

and do you know only 2 out 10 people in my class today knew what GLBTQ2 stood for. That’s insane, isn’t it?

Kara says (5:47 PM):

that is insane.

Amanda says (5:47 PM):

Even lumberjacks back home know the acronym don’t they?

Kara says (5:48 PM):

I think so

But ya know what… I guess it’s not something I whip out often…

Amanda says (5:49 PM):

 true maybe we should shop that around

hahaha

see how many people know

you know what it doesn’t matter because every time I start to think it’s a scary city, I see a hot woman and I’m utterly calmed down again.

SO MANY HOT WOMEN.

similar to Fredericton in that regard.

Kara says (5:50 PM):

I think I would like to go there for a visit.

a long weekend

hahaha

Amanda says (5:50 PM):

You going to come visit me!!!!

there’s one coming up

Kara says (5:50 PM):

You speak quite highly of it.

Amanda says (5:50 PM):

It’s rad.

like the word rad.

fun and hard to manoeuvre about

Kara says (5:50 PM):

Its making a comeback.

rad.

Kara says (5:51 PM):

haha

Amanda says (5:51 PM):

 How are you. REALLY.

I worry about my little pumpkin without me there to nurture you.

Kara says (5:52 PM):

Really, I’m delightful, I’m anticipating the weekend, I’m looking forward to moving twice. I’m just taking it all in stride.  hahaha pumpkin…how seasonal of you.

Amanda says (5:52 PM):

So back to the rents and then where?

COME HERE

They pay big monies

Kara says (5:53 PM):

hahaha

Amanda says (5:53 PM):

but seriously, where?

Kara says (5:53 PM):

well… I’m moving home… then home is moving.

ya know?

Amanda says (5:53 PM):

with Sher-Bear for good then?

Kara says (5:54 PM):

hahaha no not for good, but for pogie season, I want to get my silly student loans taken care of, then I want a truck.

Kara says (5:55 PM):

wheels with doors and a heater… then I’ll likely move again.

Amanda says (5:55 PM):

hahah

awesome

Amanda says (5:56 PM):

Given any thought to the portrait?

Kara says (5:56 PM):

I was thinking of finding a funny looking picture, and pasting our faces on it.

How does that make you feel?

Amanda says (5:57 PM):

it would be funnier to paste serious anchor man faces on our bodies by the truck

hahaha

I will send you the pic

Kara says (5:57 PM):

I’ve got it

Amanda says (5:57 PM):

whacked off to it, have you?

Kara says (5:57 PM):

bah! They are still in my hotmail inbox…dated 2 years ago.

Kara says (5:58 PM):

Along with the nude shoot.

Amanda says (5:58 PM):

whhhhhhhhhhhat

Kara says (5:58 PM):

and another shoot.

Amanda says (5:58 PM):

don’t tell people all of our secrets

Kara says (5:58 PM):

Bahahaha!

Amanda says (5:58 PM):

 Any rapturous moments today?

Kara says (5:59)

I smoked a cigarette inside.

just one.

Amanda says (5:59 PM):

awful.

Kara says (5:59 PM):

I’m bad.

I know.

Amanda says (5:59 PM):

Is it snowing?

Kara says (5:59 PM):

Nope, I haven’t checked the weather in a few days.

hahaha

That is awful.

Amanda says (5:59 PM):

Have you left the house?

Kara says (6:00 PM):

Yes…. yesterday I was helping Al move her furniture.

Amanda says (6:00 PM):

You need to go for a run or masturbate or do something. Being alone inside smoking like forty year old divorcee isn’t going to cut it.

Amanda says (6:01 PM):

Take up bingo at least and smoke in public.

Kara says (6:01 PM):

I cut back on smoking cigarettes… I’ve had the same pack all week.

and yes, I do need to go for a run.

I want to, the weather is prime.

Amanda says (6:01 PM):

GOOD GIRL. I’m into my 6th month, no puff.

Kara says (6:01 PM):

and I found my ankle brace.

Amanda says (6:01 PM):

 Holy shit

a pencil skirt

I’m at Starbucks using exploiting their internet

Kara says (6:02 PM):

no, you are at Starbucks being a pervert.

Amanda says (6:02 PM):

Is it not 2009? Should we not have internet everywhere

Kara says (6:02 PM):

There’s nothing wrong with that.

Amanda says (6:02 PM):

blink

internet

blink

hot skirt

Yes, you are quite right.

It won’t look that way for a few more years though

For now I’m just ’shopping’ ha

Kara says (6:02 PM):

hahaha

Amanda says (6:02 PM):

 I kid I kid.

Kara says (6:03 PM):

That’s awful.

Amanda says (6:04 PM):

I need a challenge that doesn’t involve words or lesbians.

or yoga.

Any thoughts?

Kara says (6:04 PM):

What kind of challenge?

Quit coffee.

Kara says (6:04 PM):

I bet you can’t

Amanda says (6:04 PM):

That’s insane.

INSANE

insane.

Could you imagine

Kara says (6:04 PM):

It could change your life.

Amanda says (6:04 PM):

I think I would probably die?

Kara says (6:04 PM):

I know you would.

Kara says (6:05 PM):

hahaha

Amanda says (6:05 PM):

How much caffeine do you suppose I ingest

on average

Pervy man just smiled at me

he’s past his prime

it was a walking sneer

Kara says (6:05 PM):

well you and I can sit down and drink 2 pots.. on a good day

Amanda says (6:05 PM):

with wide eyes locked to mine

Kara says (6:05 PM):

yikes.

Amanda says (6:05 PM):

He’s probably a murderer

Kara says (6:05 PM):

It’s quite possible.

Amanda says (6:05 PM):

Vic-timia

Kara says (6:06 PM):

haha clever.

Amanda says (6:06 PM):

I’m kidding.

So anything other than quitting coffee?

I’m not ready for that

I need some lead up

I haven’t had a happy smoke in 21 days

Kara says (6:06 PM):

gross.

Amanda says (6:06 PM):

I’m practically Christian.

Amanda says (6:07 PM):

I just wanted to see if I could

Kara says (6:07 PM):

It frightens me. I could kick coffee before that.

Amanda says (6:07 PM):

I thought so after 6 years. Alas. I was wrong.

 Challenge me.

Dance therapy isn’t cutting it.

Kara says (6:08 PM):

I’m trying to exploit your vices… coffee is the only major one you haven’t quit.

other than gambling..

hahaha

Amanda says (6:08 PM):

WHAT

I COULD NEVER START

Maybe that should be my challenge

start gambling.

Playing the lotto

Kara says (6:08 PM):

Become a pro-poker player?

hahaha

Amanda says (6:08 PM):

YES.

Kara says (6:09 PM):

I like poker.

Amanda says (6:09 PM):

I taught myself to write with my left hand. I need something.

Good idea.

Starting tomorrow I research poker.

Kara says (6:09 PM):

good!

hahaha

Amanda says (6:09 PM):

any specific kind?

Kara says (6:09 PM):

Texas Hold ‘Em is the easiest to learn….

Amanda says (6:09 PM):

roger doger

Amanda says (6:10 PM):

I’m a hustler baby…I just want you to know

Kara says (6:10 PM):

thats usually what they are playing on tv.

Amanda says (6:10 PM):

Sweet. I’m off to Dairy Lane and perfume bliss to catch this bus.

I wish I was there with you

Kara says (6:10 PM):

right on, have fun!

Thanks, haha!

Wednesday

Kara says:

This is outrageous….

the fucking power had an attack today, and shorted out the router… so now I’m sitting by the window stealing internet

Amanda says:

bonjour mutha fucka

Kara says:

hahaha Good evening

Amanda says:

from who?

Some harmless neighbour?

Kara says:

I can’t say for sure…Untitled Network.

hahaha

I’m not worried about it though… I’ll be long gone before they figure it out

Amanda says:

So, a rather uneventful day, save for the small boy who aimed a piece of wood like a gun from his ditch and proceeded to pretend to shoot up the bus as his parents raked the leaves. My only external excitement. But in internal excitement I’m getting jazzed up about writing this book

I feel many 4am phone calls.

Question??

Kara says:

Yes?

That scares me… about the kid with the pretend gun

Amanda says:

How do you think people’s imaginations work? We had this discussion today. Would you rather read my book like a series of small columns (like the columns you used to read except maybe less profanity and clotori) or like a novel?

Structurally and thematically I’m having problems.

Yeah it was terrible! I thought:

SWEET JESUS

THIS IS WHAT OUR WORLD IS

Kara says:

I like both…. But I was enjoying the novel.

The one you started a while back that I read…

Amanda says:

Yeah I’m thinking I just have to get the chutzpah to know I can do it

Kara says:

I really liked that…because I would imagine it.

Amanda says:

Stretch it out…reeeealll good.

Oh my

Kara says:

You totally can. Personally, I felt dirty reading it.

Amanda says:

I know…that’s the problem I read things like Hillary Carlip’s memoir and I’m like

WTF!

She’s so soft about it.

Kara says:

That’s how a good book makes you feel. Dirty.

Amanda says:

 At one time she says: “Two women together tend to become family—sisters, mothers, daughters, partners, best friends—so there is rarely a breakup that is clean. And my relationship is no exception.”

Match that with a line from me:

“The night I learned to appreciate the tub and the house was the night we had very LOUD sex in the bathroom. Jo and I made love while walking on the wood floorboards, stutter stopping ever two steps for more until we were finally down the hall. We crashed up the stairs, banging against the walls like pieces of pinball machinery.”

Kara says:

I prefer that.

hahaha

Amanda says:

It’s very rough but you get what I mean

I’m in this liminal space in places between… I don’t even know what.

I guess…

lesbian memoir and erotic non-fiction?

Kara says:

I think it’s a good space to be in….

Amanda says:

Maybe I’m writing an erotic lesbian memoir

-I’m a good space to be “in”

Tell me a story.

Kara says:

I would argue that it’s the story of your life…

hahaha

Well… I borrowed Mark’s truck, and helped the ex move.

Amanda says:

And by ex, you mean “starfish”?

Kara says:

Tonight, I will be making a space between my boxes… to set up an air mattress.

hahaha

Amanda says:

The life!

  All you need is a candle and some marshmallows.

Kara says:

I’ve got a tent… I’m close to setting it up.

I’m balancing the laptop on the window…

It’s not working out for me.

Amanda says:

Dear god

This is what we go through to connect!

Kara says:

I should have just done it on my super phone.

Amanda says:

I like it

Kara says:

It’s worth it.

haha

Amanda says:

precisely.

So how was moving her shit out?

Kara says:

It was decent… I dropped the air conditioner on her head.

(by accident)

Amanda says:

WHAT!

I don’t have bail money!!! I can’t even afford toilet paper.

Kara says:

She’s fine….

Amanda says:

it would be a “cool” way to die

bahahhaha

I’m good.

Kara says:

It’s a small miracle. She has two ears.

Amanda says:

 Any other happenings?

Kara says:

The TV is still here… so I still can’t complain about anything.

Amanda says:

How do you divide a 6 foot TV?

Kara says:

one gets it… the other gets loose change.

Amanda says:

In a battle to the death?

Or rock paper scissors?

Kara says:

hahaha

Amanda says:

I’ve also been scheming up a concept

Kara says:

I let her have it… I didn’t argue

ooo doo tell

Amanda says:

You are a big man.

Well in addition to my idea of the “fake date” I’ve thought of the Routine Dream Scheme.

Kara says:

which is…

hahaha

Amanda says:

I have a routine (for all you serial killers out there after my blood) where every day at precisely 2pm I get off the 4 bus and walk through Hillside to catch the 22.

 During this point, I must cut through Sears to get onto ‘Dairy Lane’ which is really a bus stand and a sidewalk laced with Starbucks cups and some shrubbery.

Kara says:

uh huh…

Amanda says:

 As I cut through Sears every day, I pass through the perfume aisle because it is the most direct route

to “Dairy Lane.” Upon marvelling in the many whiffs, I see the same gorgeous and uniquely tattooed and fancy haired woman.

We nod, simply.

And I think for a minute, of course in my Routine Dream Scheme only, that we have little ones who we buy matching little kid luggage for that we get from her employee discount and that we eat Thai every Thursday etc.

Kara says:

interesting…very interesting…

Amanda says:

But the truth is

Kara says:

hahaha

Amanda says:

It’s a Dream Scheme and we will never so much as say hello since we are absolute strangers

intersecting

daily

Do you have one?

It would be weird and unwanted by both parties

any social intervention for multiple reasons: I am a cologne snob.

[five minutes later]

Have you fallen out of the window, my god, where are you?

Well you were always a good friend to me. Thanks for coming out?

Kara says:

no…I said no…but i need  one…

then I said i need to go to reads more often… you didn’t get those?

are you getting these?

I should start regulating reads more often

Amanda says:

yes

I’m getting these

I think people need fantasy intersections into reality

 In order for hopes of polyamory to bloom.

or maybe not

Kara says:

I agree

Amanda says:

maybe just to make minogamy easier to swallow.

Kara says:

oooo

Amanda says:

oooooo what?

Kara says:

I liked your point. It made me think.

Amanda says:

I thought you were going to tell me about something juicy

I must continue research lesbian memoirist. Tomorrow, you have a mission grasshopper.

Kara says:

It’s good… until you wind up slightly in love with 10 different people who you only dream about and only see out of routine.

oh?

Amanda says:

you must draw one naked one via paint so we have a visual breaking up our text.

You don’t love them! You love the theory of them.

Loving them makes you slightly psychotic, I think. Dance therapy whhhhhat!

Kara says:

Hahaahha

A naked lady?

Amanda says:

Yep

I want her done in paint.

she doesn’t have to be a lady

Kara says:

I’m using the term love loosely

Amanda says:

she can be diversity

embodied

Kara says:

just naked?

Amanda says:

whatever you feel

some fake skin or some form

Kara says:

jesus.

hahaha

Amanda says:

draw a water cooler fucking a pineapple for all I care. We need something ha.

Also

listen to Ilana Cameron. She’s pretty awesome!

I miss you

big hearts

Kara says:

I miss you too! hahaha

Enjoy your evening, I’ll make something cool.

Amanda says:

we need a better thing to end on than I miss you

 You should say something really corny like

East Side

Kara says:

smell ya later?

Amanda says:

and I say

Kara says:

hahaha

yes! done!

Amanda says:

Chesty in the Westy?

Work on that

put it on your unemployed-to-do list

Kara says:
Yeah yeah yeah

Tuesday

Kara says (7:59 PM):

Good Day!

Amanda says (7:59 PM):

Well hello.

What’s shaking?

Kara says (8:00 PM):

oh not a whole lot, enjoying a smoke in the smoking room.

How was your day?

Amanda says (8:00 PM):

It’s warm. Hopeful I suppose. I’m going to try some dance therapy later.

For now I just sit here watching people. What else is new?

Kara says (8:01 PM):

I decided to take my friends’ approach to significant others…

let me explain

Amanda says (8:02 PM):

I’m listening to 50s rock and roll p.s.

Kara says (8:02 PM):

Her philosophy is to make profound connections with people, and if sex ensues then great, and if not, then that’s fine too. I feel like that sets forth some level of standard

…and good choice p.s.

Amanda says (8:03 PM):

how do you define “profound” connections

I’ve made some pretty fucking vagina-wow connections

That weren’t ultimately profound

but in the moment could blow the roof off of a place.

and did, on a couple of occasions.

Amanda says (8:04 PM):

sex can always ensue, that’s the mentality you need

and whatever else happens, is the part that takes work

You have to go into a room knowing you can do anyone in the room

at any time

put your feelers down

and see what shows up

Kara says (8:04 PM):

and I agree with that mentality… don’t get me wrong… but I don’t want to be associated with just anyone ya know.

Amanda says (8:05 PM):

 well you don’t have to be

Kara says (8:05 PM):

I think a profound connection can come from profound conversation…that is what I want right now anyway

Amanda says (8:05 PM):

but if you wait for “profound connections” you might be eighty by the time you get laid

profound.

that is the problem

Kara says (8:05 PM):

Someone that can stimulate me in the head before the vag.

hahaha

Amanda says (8:05 PM):

what is profound to you

enlighten me

 IMPOSSIBLE

Kara says (8:05 PM):

I beg to differ.

Amanda says (8:05 PM):

vags get rolling and get enhanced by the head.

ha

not literally

Amanda says (8:06 PM):

 you are going to be sexually attracted to someone first

it’s simple

and that’s the problem

 because what comes out of their mouths

will ultimately jump up your jukebox or make you fizzle out

Kara says (8:06 PM):

yes…that’s it.

hahaha

Amanda says (8:06 PM):

So maybe

Amanda says (8:07 PM):

the trick is not sacrificing the importance of what slips out between their lips… mouth lips

Kara says (8:07 PM):

hahaha

but if its constant…

Amanda says (8:07 PM):

I think you are being very admirable

waiting for a respectful lady!

just don’t let your vag dry up

 I’ve never settled

Kara says (8:07 PM):

I’m not even saying respectful… just smarter than a toaster oven.

hahaha

Amanda says (8:08 PM):

being active doesn’t mean settling

 Yeah that’s fair….and not-so-rare

Can I ask a question though?

Kara says (8:08 PM):

yes.

Kara says (8:09 PM):

hahaha

Amanda says (8:09 PM):

if you aren’t looking to date…

then

why does it matter if she reads Tolstoy? If she gets your box flapping… maybe sometimes you should get out of the hyper analytical side of your mind

I know there

I’ve been living there for awhile

Amanda says (8:10 PM):

 What if

for example

she was a giggler who liked hello kitty but could fuck you like a gambler and never called for a check-up or sent annoying texts after?

Amanda says (8:11 PM):

Who flexible is your rule?

Kara says (8:11 PM):

then that would also be acceptable. You’re right, providing none of the other shit came with it.

Kara says (8:12 PM):

which is the hitch in the master plan I think.

Amanda says (8:12 PM):

 exactly…

worry less about the profoundness of others right now and more about your own needs

FUCK THE REST OF THEM

 but if you need her to be smart I get that.

I once had to tell a girl to Shhhhhhh because she was great in fucking bed but hard hard hard on the head.

Amanda says (8:13 PM):

It complicates things if there is in intellectual lag

but sometimes ramming is ramming and we all need it you know

In other news, I bought 24″ of pizza last night and am going to start selling it I think

by the slice.

Kara says (8:13 PM):

hahaha

Amanda says (8:13 PM):

 No seriously

I want you to be happy

Amanda says (8:14 PM):

do what that takes.

and give me every dripping detail.

Anything happen today out of the ordinary?

Kara says (8:15 PM):

hmmm… not really.. I got all my DVDs packed up…that is progress…. I’m moving a bunch of stuff tomorrow with marks truck. I still don’t know where I’ll be living…. so

I guess it’s all pretty average.

How about your day?

Amanda says (8:15 PM):

 Go to your dvd box and tell me the first three sitting in there. I bet I can guess

Amanda says (8:16 PM):

Well I woke up, which after yesterdays near concussion…was progress.

Kara says (8:16 PM):

clockwork orange, devils rejects, and nightmare before christmas.

hahaha

Amanda says (8:16 PM):

fuck you aren’t the dyke I used to know

Kara says (8:16 PM):

Good…do you have a goose egg?

Amanda says (8:16 PM):

I was going to say Cho Show, Ellen, and some porn

Amanda says (8:17 PM):

No goose egg, just scrambled brain

Kara says (8:17 PM):

hahahaha cho is in there… all my sarah silvermans… there accounted for and safe.

I checked.

Amanda says (8:17 PM):

The librarian had a hard on for me when I took out 8 VERY queer and sexy books for my research

Any more missing items

?

Kara says (8:18 PM):

well that’s nice. Nope I’m pretty sure everything that was mine is there, and then some.

Amanda says (8:18 PM):

ooooo lala

Kara says (8:18 PM):

I know, I did good, it was almost like christmas finding out what was left.

Kara says (8:19 PM):

Anyways… I’ve gotta scram and get some food and keep on packing.

Amanda says (8:19 PM):

She was old enough to be my nan but I gotta say she could talk queer theory like it was nobody’s fucking business and then commented on my patch

Kara says (8:19 PM):

Hahahaha!

Amanda says (8:19 PM):

 Ok love you dear.

Kara says (8:19 PM):

love you too! haha Enjoy the rest of your day.
