joshua’s journal

· 🌡️ 75°F

e:LC told me that she met a guy out there that is a carbon copy of me, except that he has a Scottish accent. I have to say I think that version of me would be way better! Now I want to learn how to speak with a Scottish accent - think about how utterly confused people would be in a loud bar. I think the potential for big fun to be had is enormous and for my friends I will do almost anything for a laugh.

@jason and I managed to score tickets to the Ice Bowl on January 1. If you live in this city and don't know what I'm talking about - shame! Shaaaaaame. *shakes head* I'm excited about this because its a difficult ticket to have gotten, so this is a good opportunity to repay Dad for all those games he's brought us to over the years. Of course the question is - do you sleep or do you not bother and just head straight to tailgate?

The Sabres start their season tomorrow against the New York Islanders. I'm happy because now those miscellaneous nights where there is nothing to do, yet you don't feel like going out, are now going to be occupied by watching the greatest hockey team in the NHL. I don't want to hear any of that fucking bullshit about the Senators, @lizabeth! The flag is going back up tonight - you'd be surprised how many people know where we live by reference of the flag alone.

I rarely comment about other peoples journals in my own journal, but I was thinking about a few things -

A) @jim's tech setup is confusing me. Are 4 external hard drives entirely necessary? Fucking hell man!

B) I now believe that a cheese assortment is now some sort of requirement if you want a second date with @hodown. Who fucking sends a lady a cheese assortment, anyway? Its not Christmas and its not time to be "getting our Pepperidge Farm on." You say to me, "Josh, c'mon, who doesn't like cheese?" I'd say, "most girls, as a gift after the first date." The fact that I could go on a cheese tangent like this based off of an innocuous photograph and a comment is a testament to her and her journal's greatness.

C) Where did @ktmuffin go?

D) Where did @cindy go? (girl I know you're out there)

Thinking about going to the Halloween party reminds me of one of the first (e:strip) parties I attended, where I was sitting on a couch with @terry then all of the sudden geoffrey/jeffrey ran up to him and jammed his hand up his backside - I laughed so hard. Then @hodown got really, really upset and was desperate for someone to kick him out, but nobody would. Eventually she had enough and if I remember correctly she did the dirty work herself. I refused to do the dirty work on the count that it wasn't my house and other people were closer to the owners than I was. I can't remember if that was the night that she had made sangria, but it seemed like people seemed to be drinking liquor that didn't belong to them... I think that was the night somebody drank e:matt's special stash and I felt really bad for him. People were like, "wow, are you really a Republican?" And I'm like, "WTF am I supposed to look and sound like, Bela fucking Legosi? I VANT TO DRINK YOUR BLOOD!!" Slurpslurpslurp.

Bye for now -

Josh

    Just a little more explanation about my backups: there's one backup drive each for @james and my computers. But, additionally, there are so many photos that they won't all fit on my laptop drive, so I had to get an external drive to store them all on, and another to backup the external drive. I hate that I need so many but I've learned to be really paranoid about losing anything. Despite all these drives, I've only got two copies of any one thing.

    I can sympathize - I once lost my entire MP3 collection.

    I love cheese assortments.
    Actually I just love cheese. Perhaps I too should make a cheese assortment a requirement for a second date.
  4. hodown ·

    Ok my rebuttals:
    1. Im obsessed with cheese so it is in fact the correct gift to give me at any time. That being said don't try the "cheese assortment" on just any girl. It's bound to backfire.

    2. Jeffrey: He was trying to pull my sister's skirt up and she kept being like "leave me alone" finally he really offended her and that's when I was like "get the fuck out". I got the ok from PMT before I did it. Everyone was sick of him. That kid is seriously annoying.

    3. I miss Cindy too.

    4. Even though Josh is a republician I still like him.

    @janelle has wooed me with Cheese. It was a good move.

    This is so weird - my coworker that just came back from Wisconsin just came into the office. What do you suppose he had with him?

    3-year old cheddar and a block of fontago! OMG fontago is delicious! I am told its a cross of parmesan and provolone. He also brought back with him 12-year old cheddar - he didn't have it with him though. :( In Wisconsin it was $17 a pound - imagine what Weg would try to charge.

    Right now I have the tangy sharp cheddar aftertaste in my mouth.

    Yes, romance in our relationship usually involves cheeses from mild to stinky and olives of all types.

    Sexy, huh?
  8. hodown ·

    Ok I feel a lot better about bringing cheese into the wooing process! I'm not the only one :)

    Sabres start tonight. I doubt with being sick I will see the entire game. I can't wait to see what happens this year. I won't mention that team but during that brawl I have to admit I had to respect Emery. Why you may ask cause he and Biron both decided to fight and he won, they Peters couldn't handle it that two guys fought each other and that his goalie lost so he tried to goon it up, and Emery kicked his ass two. That reminds me I need to see if I can find a DVD (newer the beter) of NHL Hockey fights there has to be a good one out there somewhere.

    That party sounds familur, but the story you mentioned I don't remember. Would I be correct that Jason went as a monk or some kind of religious man and @terry took his cross and slide it down his pants and then he didn't want it back. If that is the same one @drchlorine was "The Gunslinger" from some Stephen King book. It would be nice to see you and if you can convince Jason also.

    @janelle, eating cheese with spicy meat is not kosher. ;)

    @joshua, rumor has it that @ktmuffin has moved to N. Buffalo with her mom, her brother, and some weird sketchy computer guy. They probably don't have Internet service yet, which is probably why she hasn't posted recently.

    @carolinian, lol, lucky for me the NT has set me free from the OT rules so that I might enjoy all the cheese and spicy meat I can get ;)

    My wife is not down with theology the way that I am. I think she meant to say that early church councils, as described in Chistian scriptures, felt that the law of the Hebrew Bible had been fulfilled, and is no longer binding.

    And it took me a while to figure out what spicy meat you were referring to, which is sad, since I like to make jokes about her having Polish Sausage for dinner.

    I am not joking to be funny but it is funny that at first I could not figure out how NT (pronounced North Tonawanda) set @janelle free from whatever the OT was. I finally figures it out a couple minuets later after reviewing the other comments.

    Jim explained his setup to me several times and I still have no idea why all this space is needed. But, should our computers blow up, a meteor decimate north America, and versions of ourselves from an alternate dimension kill us and take our place we will loose no data.

    Though I haven't a clue as to most of where your topics originated, I was laughing the whole way through-- thanks! hahahahaha....
