Good Friday Past

Date and Time  - Mar. 21st, 2008, 12:03 pm

Current Mood  - mellow mellow
Current Music  - Jon Kennedy - Pick Up Sticks

Good Friday always makes me think back to the First House of Clocks. One of the more notorious parties we had there was the Be Bad on Good Friday Party. We crucified Ian and played Pin the Nail of Jesus. I remember someone shouting "the beer's on fire!" and rushing to put out the flames. You know it's a real party when you have a beer fire.

We had music in the old tinfoil covered playroom. The old playroom was crazy. I mean, really crazy. Tinfoil walls, strange paintings along with random items screwed into the ceiling. I had written on the walls and the floors. Blissfully hopeful things and abysmally awful things. The pictures on the walls didn't match up spatially with their frames. A Twister mat was the table cloth. It was me. Me then. Strange, cluttered, mismatched, bright, stark, broken, glowing, and scary. I'm different now. I am no longer that room. I am breaking out of a chrysalis, not sure yet of what I have become.

Bebe Is Busted

Date and Time  - Jan. 21st, 2002, 01:57 pm

Current Mood  - angry angry
Current Music  - L7 - Shitlist

We heard a loud bang in the kitchen. The door to our private food cabinet had fallen off. It falls off it you open it wrong, so that part wasn't a surprise. The surprise was Bebe going through it. When we caught her, she was looking for more beer. Apparently she had just drunken [info]zarthon's beer we keep for him to drink when he comes over. She said "I didn't think anyone would notice, so I guess I'll replace it."

A little later we found an "IOU" she wrote to us because she was busted. I know she has a disease, but I like to drink occasionally, and I like to not have to run out to the liquor store every time I want to, because my roommate has stolen all our alcohol. [info]purpleglitter and I are going to get locks for our rooms, because I don't trust her not to go through our rooms looking for alcohol. I want to give her a list of what we know she's stollen and not replaced since she moved in: 1 bottle of vodka, 2 bottles of wine (not the cheep shit she gave us to replace the other wine she stole), 1 bottle of Harpoon, 3 bottles of Red Hook.
