Oh yeah--

This has to be the most horrific doll in all horror films to feature a doll that I have ever seen!

Sooooo...
I might be in trouble (or not.)

Okay-- ever since the V Tech shootings, people have been all uppity. Well, at San Jose State-- before that tragic event... A student wrote a story about a professor, whom I had for a while last semester, about being killed...

The FUNNIEST shit is that both in that student's fictional character and the real one has said this: "You don't know jack-s--t about movies if you don't know Kurosawa." In fact, that was my reason for dropping out of class... This professor belittled me and believed that I have never seen a Kurosawa film before (I've seen Throne of Blood and Dreams, that fucking bastard.)

The person who I think I know who wrote this... well, I give him kudos because that professor is such a stuck up snob in the huge way.

Well, today-- I have been called to see if I want to talk to a counselor (which I already go, but for different reasons.) But, it concerns a story I wrote in October or November. I also took the same route of taking a fictional character and basing it on my real professor.

Now this professor I pretty much disdain too-- for being snobby and rather arogant. I mean, I couldn't really stand him because being professor for him seemed more about status than love for the subject. And one of the things I remember him was that his wife divorced him and he ALWAYS talked about his unfinished book about a Russian priest who boated from Alaska to California.

Well-- one day, this professor made me particularly angry and I wrote this story within that same hour. He did, after all, say that nobody is accountable for what they write since this was a creative process. But my story, "Momentum": It was about a writer who tries hard to be a writer... but utterly fails. I even used my professor's first and last name... just switched around.

It's about a man who used to be a professor but he wants to write the next Great American Novel, and so he tries to get in character by becoming homeless and collect these experiances for his novel. He's obvlilous to the fact that his marriage is crumbling and to the fact that he never accomplishes what he sets out to do.

So my character is homeless and he's building up momentum for his Russian priest novel and then his wife comes to him with food and stuff. She hints that she's leaving him but that he can save their marriage-- but this man is so thick, he can't understand the clues she's dropping. And so in the end, the wife leaves and my character loses momentum and says, "I'll write tomorrow." And gets no marriage or that great American novel.

Nothing horrible in there. Yes, maybe this was passive agressive on my part to use my professor's life as the basis of my fictional character's persona-- but I don't think I ought to get in trouble for it.

I'm sort of nervous because I actually do this frequently-- write about professors in fictional stories and submit them as my work. I'm thinking of another piece, but I think that professor has forgotten me.

In any case, I'm going tomorrow to see councelors and tell them my professor is over reacting to something that isn't violent.

I will post my story online for everyone to read... and to get your input if this story is on par to the V Tech shooter (or just a dumb little story.)

I read the link that you had to the news article, and the story (17 pages, woah), seemed to be so fictional that it, well, shouldn't be taken seriously by any rational (or somewhat sane) person.

It might take a soldering iron to fix my vibrator. That one piece is so out of place I can't fix it on my own. Well, if I do fix it, I'll have another one to go with the replacement I just bought. I finally decided to buy a replacement cause dammit, tomorrow's my birthday and I'm gonna spoil myself.

Also, I've saved all my NG birthday e-mails since I was 20.

Why can't I buy candelas (green cigars) in singles, or even a pack of five? Instead I'm stuck buying 20 of them. I want to try them, but none of the local tobacconists seem to stock them, so I'm ordering online from Thompson Cigar Co., which mostly does wholesale-size orders.

Oh well. Hopefully I won't hate them.

Anybody want a cigar?

To revert back to my old username...

Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.

But, then again...

Sometimes it's not.

I do, but I was just going to also order from them. I like cigars but I don't know enough about them to be too deserning

Thompson's sampler packs are actually quite nice. The Powerhouse Dozen was great - I've worked my through about half of mine. Admittedly, the one I got was slightly different than this one, because I got the special one offered to NRA members, but it's essentially the same gist. $29.95 plus shipping for 12 "premium" cigars (and yeah, they actually were), an aluminum travel case, and a Thompson baseball cap.

Not too shabby.

Agreed. At the most, this story is nothing more than a critique on his personal life than a story about seeing harm befall him (as in the V-Tech shooter).

My brother recently got into similar shit at his workplace... he works in the pets department of a store, and he broke the recirculator in one of the fish tanks while cleaning the tank itself. They accused him of intentionally breaking the piece of equipment, and his response was along the lines of "The hardware department is 10 steps from where I work, if I really wanted to break these things it would be nothing for me to go and get a sledgehammer."

Needless to say, I don't think they've given him much crap over it since then.

My first thought upon reading this was, "That must be one HELL of a vibrator if you're considering cracking it open and soldering to fix it..."

You know, you wouldn't go through so many of those things if you would stop hooking them up to car batteries.

I kid, happy birthday girl! :-D

A lot of men have told me that. I don't know if it's a phallic thing, or that cigar-smoking chicks are inherently ballsy, or what. I tend to smoke the smaller sticks, but I'm not afraid to have a long one.

I'm meeting up with a friend on Monday for lunch and stogies. Should be fun.

Cigars are one of those hobbies I picked up from someone else, but got to really enjoy, so I stuck with it. I may need a bigger humidor soon - I bought a 30-count to start with, but I may invest in a nice 100-count and just use the 30 to store cigarillos or something.

If Freud is right, then it's phallic. That I very much doubt, but there is an association. This seems like it would be reenforced by culture – power brokers in politics, crime etc. smoke cigars, so anyone who smokes a cigar is seen as powerful? I dunno.

Freud had issues with penis envy, thus why all his work tends to center around subconcious projections of phallic imagery.

Represented by the cigar.

And since he put it in his mouth, he must have been autosexual.

And since he's autosexual, but wants to have sex with his mother, his mother, to him, is an extension of himself. Since his mother is a female, he must assume that she represents castration anxiety, too.

It was either that or swap the castration anxiety part with: Which brings us back to the point that he's autosexual.

freud, in my opinion had some really unsound ideas to begin with. when i read into what he had to say, it was even more unfounded.

he totally just wanted to give himself anal but was upset because his penis was too short

Apparently that was the first time I got drunk.

I don't really remember, so I take people's word for it.

I feel so guilty right now.

I bought a Journey albulm.
