T.I.A.I.L.W.: Johnnie Phelps.

World War II WAC Sergeant Johnnie Phelps, in response to a request from General Eisenhower that she ferret out the lesbians in her battalion:
"Yessir. If the General pleases I will be happy to do this investigation…. But, sir, it would be unfair of me not to tell you, my name is going to head the list…. You should also be aware that you're going to have to replace all the file clerks, the section heads, most of the commanders, and the motor pool…. I think you should also take into consideration that there have been no illegal pregnancies, no cases of venereal disease, and the General himself has been the one to award good conduct commendations and service commendations to these members of the WAC detachment."
General Eisenhower: "Forget the order."

Saving the world, yet again, by my service to mankind.

Well for now I’ve decided my one wish is not to be a Great Poet- not that any talent i had is gone, defeated, or thwarted. I’m just not writing an epic or writing for anyone else to see per say. So yes, the world has been saved and spared. It’s more important to me to be a great person living well.

Our lab class on vectors was so interesting a prospie decided to meditate during it. Prospies use to be a nice break from the faces you see day in day out here but not they're mostly just damn annoying.

When you see this, post a bit of poetry in your blog.

Winter coming like the last heroic soldier
Of a defeated army, you'll stay at your post,
Head bared to the first snowflake.
Till the neighbour comes to yell at you,
You're crazier than the weather, Charlie.

I just heard Ben Harper singing 'Mama's got a girlfriend now' on the radio. I guess even the country radio stations in santa fe are chill.

I was eating at the Santa Fe Baking Co. and decided to use their free internet. I headed for my sit but it was blocked by whatever Linux blocker they were using. I was informed the specific reason for this was the use of the words, 'buttfuck', 'fuck', 'catholic school girls', and 'alcohol'. I'm so glad they told me the words that they were protecting me from, i never would have known what my attempted readers were missing.

"Only AA but i'm thinking XXX" - Peaches

So last Thursday after one skipped seminar, many hours of stress, and blathering while running around collecting money my replacement 'Seducers and Corrupters' party, re-titled, '[ad]dress your fetish' was thrown. I had a very accommodating off campus venue away from the campus who's admin had cancelled the damn thing anyway and with the help of some culpable people and the damn thing went off. Of course it was slow at first, and the DJ didn't get the equipment etc. all together till say 11:30 and the main controller kept shutting down on him (guy took a lot of slack for it) but by midnight you could not get yourself from the porch to the keg in the kitchen without getting swept up in a wave of dancing people. All my favorite johnnies were there, and even some post-johnny types. I don't think i've seen so many varieties of school girls- certainly not when i was in catholic school anyway. I wore my motorcycle chaps, a leather halter and a pair of undies saying 'HOTTIE' on the butt in flames. Apparently this chap/undies thing is a new Christina Aguilera trend. Ech- i certainly didn't mean to imitate. The alcohol ran dry (all $200 worth of boozamahol) and everyone departed mostly paired in two's, which, i suppose, was in the spirit of S&C even if i'd like to have had everyone party till dawn. It did make me giggle to have students from my freshman lab i assist there.
If it hadn't been such a strain to get it all together and just to get the damn funds for it, i may stupidly think of doing it all over again. I even joked that the next party i throw will be an Irrational Fears party. It made me think of all the parties that would never happen:
An Oedipal Party- come dressed as yer mom
A Bob Dylan party- everyone stands round listening intently to the speakers and sneering.
A God Save The Queen party
A Towel Head Party
The Dress as your enemy party
The ill/bad luck and fortune party
A bad Chinese food party
A come as your favorite teletubby party
An Anthrax Party- no not the band
The STD Party
The Scary Clown Party.

I got to test ride Mr. Carl’s 1999 Suzuki Intruder (800ccs and I’m screaming with joy, even if the crank shaft was a little difficult) and I got an excellent massage. What more could a girl want from a day? Ah, rest.

Further on the bridge politics as the new entertainment: You could have a little bell set up at the presidential debates. When someone wins their verbal point, Ding! And you take a drink for your candidate.

Took a ride up to Taos on my bike with the enigmatic Mr. H on his bike, same make/model as mine only black. It was awesome. Winding back highways through small towns and forests all the way up and blasting it back full throttle along the Rio Grande. We got to play on the road, switching leads and lanes. There are so many gorgeous sights of northern NM with fall colors in effect, everything from high desert to deep valley to mountain ravines, pastures and pines. Don’t forget the feeling of coldness seeping into your limbs. Poverty and living abounded as you may expect, it makes me want to take it slow and stay a while. I could spend a lifetime unknown in any of those towns, the question is if I would still yearn despite/to spite myself. The possibility scares and entralls me- peace and resignation vie against one another when i think about it.
We had microbrew at Eske’s and I ordered some infamous green chili beer. Yeow!

In dissection I’ve seen those that protest it the most end up respecting their specimen the least and really doing hack jobs, ultimately learning nothing.
