Why a weirdass weekend has to cap itself off with extra-weird shit only hours before it ends is beyond me.

     Why did it involve me having to speed away from a fast-food drive-thru--throwing my card through the window and shouting that I'll be back--so I can confirm the license number of and follow, on behalf of the 911 dispatcher I'm talking to, the car that was in front of me in line? The one where I just saw the female passenger shout "What did I do wrong?!" and the male answer "Everything!" before grabbing her left arm and twisting it behind the front seat. That was when she screamed and the little girl in the back seat screamed.

     They realized I was following them and were driving around strangely trying to lose me. Indeed, a cop would later tell me that we had been driving in the opposite direction of their house.

     Gotta watch the police blotter for a few days.

Anyway, I wrote you a story:
------------------

    Neil lowered his gun and pointed it at little Johnny’s forehead. Behind him on the ground, chest blown open, was the body of Johnny’s dad.

    “You go on ahead now, boy. You nurse that hate into something monstrous. Then you come find me.”

    It would be eleven years before they met again for the last time.

    When John saw who had ordered the coffee at table seven, he ran back into the kitchen and was sick in the mop sink. After letting out a few short sobs, he wiped his mouth and stood up. He picked up his tray again and spat in the mug.

    By the time he got back out to the dining room, Neil had already paid and left.

------------------
Anyway, I wrote you another story:
------------------


    These things fly like a dream, Brian thought to himself.

    My hands fit perfectly around each one, and all I gotta do is keep ‘em over my head, and fwoosh, off I go.

    The guy I got ‘em from said they had some sort of experimental new battery in ‘em, could fly for a hundred years without refueling. There’s not even any exhaust or anything, the guy said that they repulsed matter on a molecular level to produce the necessary thrust for liftoff and actual flight. Or some shit like that.

    He said they worked because of some sorta nanotech he’d wired to the muscles in his calves and feet. After I killed him and broke his legs off at the knees, it only took a little experimental squeezing around the ankles to make just the right connection.

    It took a bit, but I got ‘em figured out, and boy, do these things fly like a dream.
------------------
Anyway, I made a Valentine's Day Sheet Of Paper for Sara:
------------------


------------------
Also, I write myself a lot of weird notes, sometimes on the back of Red Lobster receipts
------------------


Happy Mondays,

[profile] the_crowchan on Valentine's Day and jewelry:

"Because nothing expresses that white-hot feeling of being delirious and dizzy and off-balance -- that sensation of being constantly caught up in whipping, flying, freefall, feeling like you could breathe dragonfire and smoke rings and catch Tesla's tame lightning in your hands -- like a rock. A rock that's spent eons buried in silt exposed to slow, baking, tectonic pressure, whereupon it became another rock.

Oh,
yes. Very clever."
Everything at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign cancelled tomorrow.

Happy GODDAMNED VALENTINE'S DAY.

On Valentine's day, I brought in packs of NKotB trading cards. "88 different cards and 10 different stickers," they proudly proclaimed. Much trading of boys who were once cute ensued. I think I was the winner, with a picture of one of them lifting up on side of his t-shirt. And either his nipple was an inch from his shoulder or they airbrushed it out. 'cause, y'know, girls never see nipples.

On a side note,
COPS is filmed on location OUTSIDE OF BENJAMIN'S FUCKING HOUSE!
A little after nine last night we heard a number of car doors slamming in front of our house. I thought, "Which of my dogmangling friends is stopping by unannounced this late at night?"

Went to the front door in time to see cop pulling a struggling man from the passenger's side of a pickup parked in front of our house. He then wrestled the guy to the sidewalk and handcuffed him. Started talking about charging him with possession of a weapon, obstruction of justice, and then called back for some of the other cops to start looking for the stuff the guys had thrown out of the window. Driver got pulled out, kept saying, "Why are you doing this to me, I didn't do nothin', I don't know what they were doin', I didn't see 'em doin' anything!" Mr. Policity-man says, "So, you didn't see him throwing things out the window of your truck after I turned on my sirens, and you didn't keep driving for a block to give him time to do it?"

Soon, one of the cops down the street shouts what seems to be, "Well, I found the crack pipe."
"Keep looking," says cop with the driver.

They just sat one guy down and leaned him against a little tree in our parkway. Sara was worried that he would make a run for it and we'd get hurt, then I reminded her that we were in our locked house, he was handcuffed and sitting on the ground, and cops have guns.

My second-ever encounter with crackheads. Redneckity crackheads this time. At least these two weren't grinding against each other while leaning on the ATM so hard it almost fell over. And none of them had a giant wet spot in the front of their stretch pants. But that's a story for another day...
