Kenan, that pic of me at Intonation is AWFUL. It really reflects how I felt there--tired, hot, drunk, and just plain worn out.
― Jesse, Sunday, 23 September 2007 17:17 (sixteen years ago) link
but that pic of me with the cock ring is nice. I look MUCH better than I felt that morning. And I look like I'm wearing lip gloss.
Apparently, Staples recycles computers.

I'm taking some time off of ILX to get some things done -- drop a line if there's a TTday, etc. See you soon!

Aw, Kenan, thanks, but you didn't have to get rid of that photo. Marking it private would have been OK. But thank you!

Those questions would be fine if they were on a job counselor's questionnaire, but on a job application they're pretty loaded.

I hate shit like that, because if you tell the truth it makes you look bad but if you lie it's really obvious that you're lying. When I worked for that company in Richmond that did testing for potential employees, they used questions like that to find out how honest people were being in the testing.

Yeah, I was making a joke similar to Kenan's, but mine was funnier, because it was Hello Kitty, who has no mouth at all.

I have it on good authority that Hello Kitty uses sunlight energy to convert carbon dioxide and water into oxygen and glucose through the process of photosynthesis.

I've done a lot of packing, but it seems like there still must be so much more to go. I don't know if that's just a function of having a sink still full of dishes and sheets still on the bed, etc., things that aren't going to change until this weekend, anyway.
