11:44 pm	A brief return. I'm using this icon because it was his favorite, and he would've loved it. I would've posted this sooner, but I couldn't remember my password... I have pretty much given up this lj to be swallowed in the wilds of the internet now, but I got some bad news, and that was definitely important enough to come back for. lin, thanks for posting info. I hate that this news was confirmed, though. Mike (plagosus) was a character. He started talking to me soon after I got my lj, and was the first person I talked to when I finally got off my ass and downloaded AIM. We stayed up to the wee hours talking; sometimes in a chat with other people, most of the times just between ourselves. The conversations were often really bizarre, outrageously offensive, and laced with picspams, odd links, strange stories. He had issues in his life, ones I wish I could've helped him with, like he helped me sometimes. Sometimes I could understand exactly what he was talking about, other times, he was a complete mystery to me. But always intuitive, intelligent, witty, generous. He once drew me a (hot) picture of Cheetara when he found out about my childhood crush. I still have it; both the crush, and the picture. He once told me he had a picture of a hot chick for me to see, then proceeded to link me (and Collin) to a horrible fat-o-gram type pic that kind of ruined our night. That's kind of how things played out with us :) We'd take turns talking about life and cheering each other up. The last time I spoke to him was on 16 March of this year. We hadn't seen each other in months and he was really happy to see me. We had a long talk, much of which involved him reassuring me about the shit going wrong in my life with cunning use of Hawai'ian dance: PlagosusTemplr: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=23OBsppKwnQ PlagosusTemplr: there's some nice dancing girls PlagosusTemplr: doing a hula for the fire goddess Pele PlagosusTemplr: Kilauea being the mountain that keeps blowing up on the big island thefoxmanreturns: i've never been to hawai'i. i'd love to go thefoxmanreturns: i always wanted to learn how to surf PlagosusTemplr: i'll take you PlagosusTemplr: i'll teach you thefoxmanreturns: you know how to surf? PlagosusTemplr: and bring that Collin fellow too PlagosusTemplr: lol PlagosusTemplr : i can body surf PlagosusTemplr : never used a surfboard PlagosusTemplr : i could never afford one thefoxmanreturns : i uh, don't think there are any vacations planned together for a while PlagosusTemplr : yah PlagosusTemplr : that's why you need to find a nice Kahuna to lift the curse, and give you a blessing thefoxmanreturns : that'd be nice. He showed me some more hulas, and the amazing thing was they lifted my spirits. That and his gentle encouragement. thefoxmanreturns : i think i'm now a little in love with all hawaiian people PlagosusTemplr : haha PlagosusTemplr : the hawaiian in me thanks you He explained to me that there was no word in Hawai'ian for 'war'. It made sense. He made a lot of sense. He really calmed my spirit. We talked for a while longer, and then he had to get up early. And he left, typically thinking to cheer me up (again) before saying goodbye: thefoxmanreturns : thanks for hanging about man *hugs* PlagosusTemplr : anytime *hugs* PlagosusTemplr : ni ni Foxman PlagosusTemplr : don't be a stranger 'n such thefoxmanreturns : i should sleep. get rid of headache or something PlagosusTemplr : try absinthe thefoxmanreturns : i won't. i'll try and be less strange :-) PlagosusTemplr : nah, keep the strange loose the missing in action “PlagosusTemplr” signed off" The one thing I regret is that I didn't tell him what a good friend he was being to me. I only hope he knew it without me saying it. Mike, you were one of the best guys I never met. I/We appreciated your friendship, and that last conversation meant/means more to me than words can say. I hope you've found happiness wherever you are now. I'll be thinking of you on the 19th, and wishing I could pay my respects in person. And you know what? I doubt the 'strange' is going anywhere :) It's ingrained in my DNA. So long, pal. Save me a board; we've got a surfing lesson to keep. ETA: a gentleman to the end, when I logged on to post this, that lj feature that tells you who commented last? Was from him. Current Mood: quiet (1 Comment |Comment on this)

5:49 pm	Rocking the Vote Well dayum, november 2008. What a fun day! The boy and I spent over an hour waiting in line. Normally waiting anywhere with Collin for that amount of time is equal parts fun and frustrating, but he didn't want us to vote at the same polling booth. That levelled the fun outta the day, and amped up the frustration because I got to vote with D. It's amazing how many polling booth attendants assume he's an elephant because he's a massive blonde amazon. Ok, so maybe I did have a little fun :) At least it was until D told me about Joaquin giving up movies. I refused to believe him until I came home and saw this. I don't care who wins the election now. A world without Joaquin acting is not a world I want to live in. Current Mood: depressed (4 Comments |Comment on this)

11:38 pm	twice in two nights? you know i'm bored... many thanks to and ladielazarus for making it a bit more entertaining on AIM. was killing time because i had a night off and the boy was off filming nocturnal animal segments. there was poop. Oh yes, there was poop. he's been in the shower for like, 45 mins. i'd better go check to make sure he hasn't scrubbed his skin away, or turned into a prune or something.

11:50 pm	sad admission time... five things you might not know about me. I expect to lose cool points almost immediately, and would be shocked if i didn't. 1. I have a collection of shirts with dubious and/or hilarious phrases on them, including that one that says 'I'M what Willis was talkin' about'. I am also officially the only person I know who thinks it's fucking hilarious. 2. I'm muzzy for the first 20 mins after waking up in the morning in which time I really shouldn't try and do... anything. I have been known to walk into walls, try to pee in the closet, and shave with my toothbrush. 3. I dream I can sing. Like, really good. Waking up is disappointing sometimes. 4. I may or may not like a few of the Bee Gees songs. 5. Collin never lets me forget that I may or may not like a few of the Bee Gees songs. Current Mood: drained (13 Comments |Comment on this)
10:23 pm	older, but not necessarily wiser. birthday been and gone, wow. i'm older, that's weird. I am now one of those people that has to work on their birthday. but at least i got a work cake. and also pie. i like pie. I write this now with a sense of foreboding. my boss has been giving me odd looks, like he's plotting a new assignment. i really don't want to die just yet. I haven't seen paris. he's been giving D odd looks, but that's par for the course, and on my list of things to never ever think about lest my brain dribbles through my nose and i die. horribly. i really don't want to die just yet. i haven't seen paris. in case this is the last entry i ever make, thanks for the fun times, livejournal. keep it real, or something equally as cool and ghetto. [repeat paris line, ad lib to fade] edited: with collin back at work too the laundry is suddenly piling up. I miss Boots. she used to fold my tshirts and put dried and pressed flowers between them.

9:49 pm	yeah, yeah yeah, the foxman's back hey lj, what d'ya know? work's been rather spaz lately. i've offered to work extra (yeah, stupid me) since collin's 'career' was put on hold for the WGA strike. Still, now that's over he starts work again tomorrow. here's to children's television! so what've I missed? Valentine's Day was interesting. I had to work it, but got to start late and finish early in return for my immortal soul. The boy and i had a nice breakfast together (i fry mean bacon and eggs), and there may've been a card or two. At work, D spent the whole day wearing cupid's wings and carrying a bow and arrow. I thank all the holy and unholy deities in this dimension no-one gave him the idea to wear the little white robe, too. He gave us all cards and candy, but my boss got most, the kissass*. Char got a massive bunch of 2 dozen roses delivered to her... not bad at all. Mad props to my demon friend for that one. after that, went home, took the boy out to dinner. It was french and rather pricey, but damn they know how to do a creme brulee. I think he liked it... hope so. Then quality time was spent together. yeaahuh. So, my birthday's coming up too. Have no freaking clue what i want to do for it. going away would be nice, but i don't really have time for that. Maybe I could get a weekend reprieve? go somewhere warm. I'm missing the warm right now. also one day, i'd like to learn how to surf /completely random that's all i got, the various lobes in my brain are starting to throb. And not in a good and sexy way. * i really don't want to know. Ever. Current Mood: exanimate (3 Comments |Comment on this)

11:20 am	aw man... um, hey lj. S'been a while, has it not? I could do a catchup on the last oh, seven months, but that would require time and effort. Sufficed to say... * Birthdays, major holidays and significant events of the year have all been and gone. Collin got old. * I just finished holiday shopping. Fuck Me, do NOT go to the mall right about now. This old lady actually stomped on my foot. Oh no, it wasn't an accident, either. * Summer was.... interesting. To say the least. At least my bones have knit now. * Collin in and out of hospital -- I know what you're thinking, but yeah, he's ok and resting up. * Kinda had to deal with my impulse control issues of an angry nature. I knew i had impulse control things with regards to purchasing things 'as seen on tv', but didn't actually realize I also could lose the plot pretty quick, too. * With regards to the above... I'm dealing. Sort of. In the way that I'm concentrating on looking after the boy and decidedly NOT thinking about other stuff. * Made an enemy, gained a friend, bid adieu to a third, forging paths unknown in the midwest. * When not working my ass off at... well... work, been working my ass off for my classes. It's really hard, actually, but I am kind of finding the balance between the two. * Especially with some time taken of due to the above hospital stuff. I guess that's kind of random and obscure... I'll try to be clearer. Life moves on. The toaster mac packed it in around May, I was stuck on the internet-less dinosaur pc laptop for all my work and class stuff. Now I have a Macbook. This is possibly the sweetest machine I've ever seen in my life. And don't worry, we've already done all of those distortedface photos you can do with the camera.. fucking funny stuff. Now I have Jaguar, rawr. Work has been a little isolating of late... just the fact I've spent most of my off time with the three people I work with. That's been kind of bond-worthy at times, though testing as well. Still, I have come through it without ringing D's neck, so I count that as a win. I sorta can't say this with him around otherwise he hugs me, but he's an ok guy once you get past that goddamn infuriating WAY he has. He's really genuine, and he tends to grow on you. Like fungus. Collin and I have had a less than ideal year, if I'm being frank and honest. Which I am. I'm really not much of a liar. Collin has a thing about not telling me what bothers him, and wanting me to figure it out. I'm sorry to say I fail greatly at figuring some things out, and he gets pissed. Still... when he's honest with me I get stuff, and I think things can get better. So yeah, here's to things getting better. It's Christmas time... I'm expecting a call any day from mom to tell me what's happening. I think we're going over for dinner and presents. Fingers crossed for the new nano, man. I have good gifts for Collin. I think. I'll let you know after christmas. Also, on the off chance he's reading, no, you're not going to find them. I am stealthy like a fox. So I have reprieve from classes for the next few weeks, and work assignments will be sporadic at best. Time off is good to have. I'll try not to leave it this long until I update again...

12:46 am	up late... So there's another gap in the paper's lineup and my boss wants me to write another column. This time, however, I've been given more than a few hours notice; I have a couple of days. A personal subject was wanted, and since I'm too fucking busy to have a life right now, I thought about my life a few years ago and stuff. I had a bit of a flick through some older lj entries and... it's weird. I didn't think I'd changed that much? But I sort of have. For one? I used to spend a lot more money on alcohol. And cigarettes, actually. But since I've hardly had time to drink or smoke, I haven't done that as much. Heh, Collin and I used to have a bender weekend every week we could afford it. Those were the days... I actually wear ties to work now. And I am trying to type using caps in the appropriate places. I'm still going to class but work is really more of a focal point for me now. It's not one of those dumb fast food jobs, y'know? It's something I actually enjoy, and I have to work really hard to be a part of. And.. I feel like I am. Part of something, that is. Mr Rudd's a good boss and Derringer (oh man, have I mentioned this guy?) "like the gun" Douglas is a great photographer. Slightly off-balance person, but great photographer. Personally, things are great. I'm stable in my relationship and the words 'long-term' aren't odd or scary to me. They just Are. Collin's also getting more grounding. He has someone else he can turn to, even if that person is marginally a douchebag, with whom he feels comfortable with. It's important. Even if there's a dream sometimes :) Also I have a more conservative haircut. Not by meaning to, but just getting lax in going to the hairdresser. I wonder why so many people still have me friended even though I don't post as much as I used to. Not NEARLY as much. In that vein, and in the vein of thinking about me as a person... Reply to this post with how long you've had me on your friendslist, and a question. Can be a philosophical question if you want but I was thinking more along the lines of a question about me. If you had one. I'd love to see as much of my list respond as possible. I think it could be interesting. And I'll reply when I can. Current Mood: sleepy (60 Comments |Comment on this)

4:37 pm	christmas and new year Whoa, it's over and done with. Christmas was great. I so needed a break for a few days, and despite regular family hijinx, it was excellent as usual. Mom totally outdid herself in the cooking department. We actually arrived on the 24th in the morning, and I helped a bit. And my eyebrows are still on my face, natch. I was in charge of the yams. I ruled, so it seems. Public opinion was with me. I got some cool shit. Some dvds and cds from the boy, a little 2gb usb storage device for work from my uncle (although i'm not allowed to ask where it comes from and it has no warranty. Also, if it breaks, I think I have to destroy all evidence of it having been mine. In other words: same old same old.), My dad got offended at me getting something technological without him having made it first, so he apparently attempted to make a usb device as well. I don't know what happened, but it's buried out in the backyard and mom won't speak about it anymore. I swear, if the neighbourhood dead and buried pets start rising from their graves, and I wake up one night with a zombie cat on my chest? I know who to blame. In the end they caved and got me a new ipod :) Collin got some pure Russian vodka from my uncle (again, ask not from whence it came, only drink quickly and be grateful), a sweater made by my mom (he hasn't taken it off for a few days, it's getting rank. But he looks cute, so :) ) And he got Bela Lugosi Dracula dvd set from me. I don't think he got any contact from his folks this year. While I don't particularly have a soft spot for them myself, and as much as he rebels, they're his parents, for god's sake. He misses them and gets morose, not that he says anything to me about that. But I'm not dumb. I know that he likes being with my family, but it's kind of a rub sometimes because they're not his family. It doesn't even help that mine considers him a part? Because it's not his, not technically. But I'll stop talking about that now. In the end, he always comes good and has a good time with everyone. And with me. And since I am forbidden to talk (about my) sex to the greater internet population, I guess I have to stop there. :) I did some work stuff in between christmas and new year's. My new job is quite interesting. Lots of... characters. My boss seems like a good guy, even if his alcohol consumption exceeds both Collin's and mine during freshman year. Daily. And the photographer.... uh. Nice kid, but I don't know what to think of him yet. And that's a new one for me. Then on new year's Collin and i did the public celebration thing, went out and saw the fireworks. It was pretty damned cold, but we had a good time. Also, I look cute in a beanie. People say 'yo' to me a lot more when I do. Apparently they mistake me for black :) I just say 'word to your mother' and walk away. There were drinks and midnight shenanigans, and it was a good start to the new year. That's covered about 2 weeks, and I don't know when I'm going to be able to post again. With class and work, I'm just not sure. If anything major happens, I can probably coax Collin to update for me. And now, the Real Writing begins. Also, whoa, I'm totally published now :) Current Mood: busy (5 Comments |Comment on this)

8:50 pm	bile. I'm at the computer. Duh, i hear the collected consciousness of livejournal state. Fucking duh. it's probably a real good thing i didn't have an ass to begin with because i would have STUDIED IT OFF by now. christ. "But Fox," I hear you say, "it's only the beginning of the year. Why are you killing yourself so much?" good question. Here's the situation as it currently stands. In perusing our paperwork, seems there's been a few glitches along the way. most notably, classes and the non-passing thereof. Collin failed one class, so cue me, then, fucking brainstrust that i am, contracting things like the common cold which held me up for a week, and then skipping out on a few lessons to go earn silly things like money to keep us both in college. all of which kinda added up to me failing. twice. now i've got to make up for the hours i lost. i'm doing two writing subjects that i'd pegged wanting to do ages ago. thing is, i always decided i'd do them one semester at a time because there was so much work involved. now i'm doing both together. at the same time. because i need the hours. and it means i have to learn to consistently start my sentences with upper case letters. Fuck. These classes are heavy duty. I mean hospital grade disinfectant heavy duty. There aren't huge final exams, perse, but the amount of work that has to be done and handed in by each semester's end is equivalent to a medium sized brazilian (heh) rainforest's worth of paper. And I'm still working at EastTC. They've got me working even longer hours there. I don't think i'm going to be able to keep doing it, but where are we going to get the money from if i don't? The only solution seems to be sacrifice. I have been sacrificing... sleep. have been shaving about an hour off my nightly requirement to stay up and work. It sucks, but it's necessary. according to my university. Collin's great, but since the end of the summer, we haven't even been able to spend a lot of time together. not since a drunken depression bingedrink, anyway. hell, tomorrow we both have morning class, but for me that is followed by afternoon class til 4, and then East from 5-12pm. i can't even give Collin a ride back home in between because i don't have time. dayum. so instead of watching desperate housewives and having a beer, i am here. in a crappy chair. writing. I suck at life. Current Mood: cantakerous (6 Comments |Comment on this)

1:12 am	aw man. steve, man, steve. I thought that guy rocked. what a way to go... not envious, but totally steve. Hey, if he'd survived, we woulda had ET at his bedside and him telling us all about how he escaped. I kinda wish that had happened. I'm having a beer for you, Steve. It's cheap american swill, and for that i'm sorry, but i think you'll just appreciate the sentiment. cheers. In other news... i got back from alaska a few weeks ago. I know, and i didn't even update on lj? Well, my hd crashed and i could not be bothered doing anything with it for the rest of the vacation, for which i think collin was secretly happy. we've had a good vacation. gone to the beach (real heat, not alaskan summer heat), and the lake, too. Seen a few movies. of course we saw snakes on a plane. i am totally behind the gratuitous tit shots. but aw man. I never want to be bitten on a dick by a snake. me, collin, and every other guy in that theater winced. so the toaster mac is back, and so am i. did ya miss me?

12:15 am	summer lovin' finally summer is here. i couldn't have waited much longer. classes are over and that's one load off - i even have a bit of time off work, that's ANOTHER load off. still, of course that's when something comes up. got a call from my sister; she's gotten herself into some kind of trouble. She wouldn't elaborate any further, but sufficed to say i've got to find money for a return ticket to alaska. well, fuck. we just don't have it right now. i'm gonna have to talk to my dad on the sly, i think. i should probably do a proper update, since collin has completely given up his lj for dead. been aching just to chill out for a while with the boy. we don't even have any plans yet, just to hang out and do stuff. finals went ok, it was no mean feat getting through finals working at the same time. the one time we did get to go out somewhere, i had a slight lapse in judgement and ended up in bed with food poisoning for 3 days. talk about your wild hallucinations, tho. hoooeee. don't have all that much else to say right now. i'm gonna go hang out with collin. i'm not sure when i might have to leave for alaska (thank fuck it's summer), so we'd better make the most of our time. heh.

Worked my ass off, studying all night for class, then there's the delirium and violent throwing up. fuck i do NOT like being sick. goddamn. I can't beleive how much is going on right now. i just wanna switch off for a while, sleep a whole weekend, spend an entire day with my boy without having to crack the books or crack skulls at work. not too much to ask, right? yea right. i think i'd prefer to be vomiting green despair.

10:18 am	greetings from the land of older cool guys i had a good birthday. the boy got me lots of good books, mom cooked this majorly awesome... feast. that's the only word i can use. and because of employment, there was the ability to go out and do a little drinkin'. i miss drinkin'. without the 'g'. good times were had. i have class today, tho. and work tonight. my life sometimes does not resemble fun at all. on the upswing, hair still growing back. it actually looks kinda cool. who knows? maybe the lice were telling me it was time to change styles. y'know, in their own horribly unhygeinic and infesting way.
