Yesterday, sophiaserpentia commented that she had heard Domina at Club Choices was canceled, but indicated that she was unsure of the accuracy of what she heard. To confirm this I looked online, but could only find one source and wasn't sure who the source was or how accurate they were. I called the number on the flier and the person who answered (apparently it's the promoter's cell number) didn't know if the night was happening or not. She said she'd call someone else and find out. Victor called after I did and she told him it was not canceled. So, we went and it was canceled. In my opinion, if you're going to put your number on promotional material under "Call for more info:", then you should be in the loop about the night. The people running the night really need to get it together.

We ended up going to Queeraoke at the Ramrod. I'd never been to the Ramrod before, but like anywhere I've gone with Victor he seemed to know everyone. I actually got up and sang, only the second time I've done karaoke. Unlike when I went as Phil to Glitterswitch Drag Karaoke at Club Hollywood many years ago, I wasn't absolutely horrible. I'm sure I wasn't memorably good by any stretch of the imagination, but at least this time I wasn't memorably bad.

It appears that I might be going clubbing tonight. What's more, a goth/industrial/fetish night (those three things seem to always go together). I haven't gone to any club in a long time and I've long since stopped being "goth". However, I really need to get out. I've been stagnating and stewing in my out mental juices too much. This will be good for me.

I'm going with Victor, an old friend and ex-roommate from the first house_of_clocks.

If a person opposed to animal testing were to walk into an animal testing lab with a hatchet and a gun and proceed to attack the people there with those weapons, that person would instantly be labeled a terrorist by the media and the government, and rightly so.

Why won't the media or the government call Jacob D. Robida a terrorist? I don't know, but I'm sure it has something to do with political agendas. Let us say what they will not: LAST NIGHT there was a TERRORIST ATTACK on a GAY BAR in MASSACHUSETTS.

I hate the fucking club "promoters" that seem to take over almost every local online forum. Sure, clubs can a lot of fun. But, come on! It's not all about the club nights and the live shows. There is a lot more to do and see than that. However, they plaster humongous ad after ad in every forum that may or may not have anything remotely to do with what they are selling. The only difference between them and the spammers that are routinely ferreted off of LiveJournal and other at least simi-moderated sites is that the "promoters" seem to be tolerated because they are "local" and "cool". Bullshit. Their constantly annoying crapmounds are the reason I don't read most local LiveJournal communities. davis_square and menotomy are the only exceptions. davis_square because I delete the promoter spam if it the entire post is not strictly <lj-cut>, and can ban repeat offenders from the community. menotomy because it doesn't seem to be infested.

These promoter-fucks need to get the message: most people don't give a shit about your club nights and live shows. Your gigantic, largely unwanted advertisements are spam. S-P-A-M. You are a spammers and spammers are scum. Go away.

i left my cds at the bottom of my steps
i was going to take them with me to lady_babalon's apartment Sunday night, but changed my mind
i lose too many things to randomly take my cds places
i'd hate to lose all my cds
i did have a good time Sunday

-----

last night i went to see finding neverland with zarthon and purpleglitter
it was a very good movie
definitely worth seeing
very well done

-----

i'm still not as social as i'd like to be
i'm feeling more up to going out, but i simply don't have the funding too
poverty keeps me at home
i'd love to go do things
try my hand at clubbing again
that would be good
clubbing would allow me to be social and get exercise by dancing at the same time
but, alas clubbing also costs money
i'm about as broke as broke can be
until i find a new source of income, i'm stuck at home unless someone takes me out
i need to get moving on mass rehab
then i can get a job
then i can be a social butterfly again
soon

Sara came over yesterday. It was nice to see her again. She has the most wonderful energy. I can't help but be in a better mood when she's around. She helped convince me to make peace with the gnomes. She feels I am bless that fae follow me around, even if they are often annoying. I think she's right. I feel I've been a bit like Gargomel. I think I'll be a bit nicer from now on.

After Sara left, riga_mortia and purpleglitter came over. We were joined in my room by merryperseis and Robin (the new roommate). The five of us had a wonderful time talking and listening to music. Good friends. Good fun.

riga_mortia spent the night. I've missed her so much. Last night was the first time I saw her beautiful face since November. I plan on seeing her often from now on. I'll probably see her tonight at Ceremony.

I went to Man Ray last night. purpleglitter took some pictures of my outfit. I ran one of them through Photoshop, and here it is:

Goth dancing is really tae kwon do. The moves are just a little slower. The nightclubs are training camps. They are training goths for the invasion of Somerville!! It will then be renamed Somergrad. Cossack™ Vodka is just the begining! It's a vast and evil conspiracy. It's true I say. It's true! It's true! !

Romney's planning to further gut the already gutted MassHealth.

New wealthier gay residents in Bay Village see drag bar Jacques as an embarrassment and are attempting to get its licenses revoked

I'm sick and tired of this snobby hypocritical pseudoliberal state.

I can't seem to shake the feeling I was supposed to meet someone today. I think I made the plans while in a drunken haze at Man Ray. I can't remember. Fuck. Someone is going to be mad at me. And rightfully so.

Note to self: Do not make plans with anyone while in a drunken haze at Man Ray

Went Man Ray with purpleglitter and pillowkisser. I was surprised that purpleglitter went. She's spent so much energy the last few years to rid herself of her gothic "albatross". Regardless, she seemed to have a good time. She's always big fun to have along on any excursion.

I saw many old friends and met a few new ones. I'm always excited to see people that I've lost contact with. It's so hard keeping in touch with people sometimes, especially when life becomes hectic. I'm going to make a more concerted effort to keep in touch with people. I don't like drifting away.

I danced with laurellily. Our hands found each other, and we sat staring longingly at one another for some time. Something about her makes me swoon. Swoon. She is strong, yet inviting. Powerful, yet gentle. Commanding yet kind. There is something between us. I can see it in her eyes. I can feel it in her touch. I can taste it on her lips. I don't know what it is. But there is something there. What will become of it, only the future knows.

merryperseis and I went to Man Ray last night. merryperseis had never been to Man Ray, or any goth club, before. I got to dress her up for the event. Where's a camera when you need one?

I had fun and met several people and introduced merryperseis to several people. I also invited several people I know only through the club scene to my party, though I'm not sure if they'll actually shop up.

Following the advice I got from dykestar on AIM and redwaterlily in a comment, I asked someone to hang out with me tonight. cptnhowdy2 is going to come pick me up soon, and we're going to meet for coffee. I don't really know her. She told me that we met briefly at Man Ray last time I went and I gave her my LiveJournal username, but I was quite sloshed, and would have a hard time remembering anyone. But, I'm very glad to get out of the house, and from our interactions online, she seems like a very nice person.

Beeb's check bounced and thus our check to the landlord didn't go through. I was pissed. I left a big note on Beeb's door saying "MOVE OUT" and left her an angry message on her voice mail.

Beeb arrived home, and was very dismayed (and drunk). She was incredibly apologetic. She signed a $100 check from her sister over to us, and told us that tomorrow she'd pay a significant amount of money. I told her that if she did, things would be cool, but that she had to pay tomorrow. Her lateness paying has been way out of hand. For example, purpleglitter and I wanted to go to Dyke Night at the Midway tonight, but we didn't have enough money go. I think that Beeb finally understands just how important paying promptly is. We gave her slack, she abused it, now she has none. I think she understands that at this point.

Clover did something over coffee that makes me question whether it is wise to ever trust her again. She went on and on about how she didn't like Percy. About how he's this and how he's that. Then she proceeds to tell me Percy is giving her a ride to Man Ray tonight. How she's just using him for the ride now, and other than that she can't stand him. I'm no fan of Percy nowadays, but I have to wonder about someone who would so blatantly use someone else. I really don't need that type of friend. The more I think about it, the more I really don't want to remain friends with Clover.
