ancient history
Was supposed to meet someone for a blind date and didn't catch the cancellation on email. Wandered over to the house where I used to live 25 years ago and looked thru the old house books, where my posts were notably dysthymic, and sometimes mean, but usually funny. Or I tend to think so. Almost another guy back there who was so unhappy, tho we both believe many of the same things and have many of the same biases.
circa 1984:
"When you go to school, you're miserable and so you don't vote. When you work, you become grouchy, and, if you're undisciplined, you vote for nasty people like Reagan."
"We're better than the Russians so we have to degenerate until we're almost as bad and then nuke them."
unspecified year:
"If we get a cat, can we get a meat grinder?" (I actually like cats a lot, but not ones with no particular owners in a house of 20 people with a history of fleas, use of beanbag chairs as litterboxes, etc.
---------------------
handwriting didn't seem quite like mine, but someone wrote this Tom Swifty:
"I love homosexual necrophilia", Tom said in dead earnest.
(No, I'm not homophobic. Fell in love with a gay guy once, but I didn't seem to have enough of the orientation to survive my own freakout factor. Too bad, because he was probably nicest person I've ever dated, among other positive qualities.However, necrophilia would scare me.)
------------------------
moi as part of a long flame:
" Remember, respect, consideration, a stiff upper lip, constipation and happiness are all supposed to go together."
and (not same flame, I think):
"The stuff that I want is of course the only correct way to do things. It's just that I am an imperfect being pushing a perfect program."
"Hating kids is like hating Canadians or locksmiths. They're all too different from each other to know if you hate them or not." ( I should have the courage to let the first sentence stand on its own.)
