No such thing as innocent bystanding

-- Seamus Heaney

Hi, I've just started so I have no postings and no entries. Sorry. At the moment I have no hobbies, no interests, and nothing cool about my life because I've been on the lam for the past several months. Since I broke up with my boyfriend. I mean, mentally. He still lives four blocks away from me. And I have a steady job, apartment, car, insurance and all that. I'm not really on the lam. Not like my friend's friend, who, being from Illinois, after divorcing her Brazilian husband at the age of 19 (they had been married for a year), disappeared and was not heard from for, like, 18 months. At one point she was living underneath the Santa Monica Pier. Now that is being on the lam-- I'm not on the lam like that. But in a quiet, bourgeois way, my life is a shambles. I don't know anything, I don't do anything, I'm not anything at the moment. So I'm sorry if I have little to show.

I make lists these days. My current list says, "What do you want to do?" It looks sort of comforting posted at the end of my dining table, which I'm using for a desk, because nobody ever comes to my apartment. The list runs:
  1. Finish additions to my home page
  2. Read Guns, Germs and Steel by Jared Diamond
  3. Finish Black Sun Rising by C.S. Friedman
  4. Buy posters for my bare walls
  5. Paint my closet door, which annoys me
I'm also having a dilemma. Should my nickname here be halo nine, or god oddish? I've been using halo nine since high school-- it's one of the singles put out by Nine Inch Nails, but lately I've become partial to god oddish because it involves both a Nine Inch Nails song and my favorite Pokemon, Oddish. Oddish is SOOO cute! He's the raddest little Pokemon. It all started when I wrote a song about the wonderful little radish-like thingy. It goes like this:
god oddish i'd do anything for you
god oddish just tell me what you want me to
god oddish throw me up against the wall
god oddish don't want Pokemon you want it all
no you can't take it
no you can't take it
no you can't take it away from me
head like a beet
one i could eat
but i'd never try to
because you're so cute
god oddish's not looking for the cure
god oddish's not concerned about the sick among the pure
god oddish let's go dancing on the back of Pikachu
god oddish's not one to choose
no you can't take it
no you can't take it
no you can't take that away from me
head like a beet
one i could eat
but i'd never try to
because you're so cute
bow down before the oddish god
all other Pokemon are flawed
The best parts were the alternate last lines I thought up. They are:

bow down before the oddish god...
his spore attack i do applaud
his feet walk the forest all unshod
for him i'd start my own jihad
he is a beet not a seedpod
his hair is leaves not a pomade
he lives in forests and in sod
over your sad soul he will trod
What do you think? I need help picking. halo nine, or god oddish?
