2002-09-22 : Fair Food, Dutch bands rock, Yep I heart Wicca so Fuck YOU!
I'm listening to this new CD I bought. It's by this mid 60s Dutch band, Q 65. Wow. I mean WOOOOWW! I haven't heard something from that time period that I've liked this much for a LONG Time. I also like the Creation compilation I bought, but The Creation doesn't have ANYTHING on Q 65!! I gotta record this for my friend, Jon. Definetly! Just did several loads of laundry. I love burying my head/nose in a pile of warm laundy. I never used fabric softener sheets before and boy, was I missing something. I love the way they leave my clothes smelling. Comforting. Let's see..yesterday we went to the fair. We were both Cranky and we shouldn't have gone but we did anyway. Every year I THINK I want to go to the fair, and EVERY year once I am there all I want to do is LEAVE. Both Jay and I don't like large crowds. I just want to murder people when they walk too slowly i n front me. Oblivious people irritate me so much. I am ALWAYS very conscious of whether or not I am blocking someones view/path, etc. We looked at the fine arts exhibits just to laugh at how bad most people's "art" was. There were a few good paintings and several very good photographs. My fave one was of 4 young novice Buddhist monks having their heads shaved by older monks. Some much orange (the robes) and black (the hair) and the soapiness of their heads. It was a beautiful picture taken at a perfect moment in time. I saw some paintings and few photos that actually made me step back from them cringing in horror and embarrassment for the fucking idiot that thought they needed to enter their terrible "art" into the state fair's show. Egad..maybe I am being too harsh on the poor people. Nah, I don't think so. I hate those "portrait" photos that certain photographers love to take...you know...a real soft, misty effect all about the face. Shiny lipstick, misty eyes. God I hate those. Those women always look like they are about to take off their tacky hats and dresses (sexy? not to me!) and attempt to do soft porn. What else about the fair. Oh yea...people carving pictures in GIGANTIC pumpkins. I actually was pretty impressed by that. Wouldn't buy one, though. THe newest craze at the Puyllaup fair (and perhaps at other fairs across the country?) are DEEP FRIED TWINKIES. JEsus fucking christ. I didn't EVEN go for that. I do like Twinkies, but come on..FRIED? No thanks. I got my yummy corn dog (Krusty Pup) and my delicious "fancy" apple (for $4.00..only at the fair would a caramel apple with nuts be that much but it was worth every tooth shattering bite!) I made Jay get a picture taken of us which was then made into a very large button that one could pin onto their shirt or coat if they wanted. He was really pissed that I made him do this. We were fighting at the exact time the photo was snapped. You can't tell though. He looks semi-serious and pretty cute, actually (he refused to smile and I was getting REALLY MAD about this..he can be such a rebellious teenager boy at 30 sometimes..pisses me off)...he looks cute..I look awful and very very high of drunk for some reason. I do admit I had taken a sedative (we both had to in order to deal with the mullets and giant stuffed animals people had won, etc.) but I was really sober. God, I take awful pictures most of the time. Just not photogenic. Why did I make us get a picture button made? Stupid. We left after being there for exactly 2 hours. We didn't even ride any rides cuz my stomach was too unsettled or something. Today I went to my bookclub meeting which was more fun than usual. Probably cuz I brought this zany and slightly disgusting book Tap gave me for my birthday which is called ...oh can't remember the title but it is a "book of bizarre choices" such as "Would you rather have a dead mouse in your butt or a dead frog in your mouth?" or stuff like "If you are a man, would you rather have two fingers cut off of each hand OR have 1/3 of your penis size cut off/eliminated?" Whacky stuff like that. Some questions weren't so disgusting. Some questions were like "Would you rather live in a world with No Roads OR No Grass?"...its a fun little book. Makes people laugh alot. We also had jerk chicken and cole slaw and potato salad and for dessert it was nectarine/blueberry pie (homemade) which sounds disgusting but was really good warm. YUM. I am hungry again but I don't feel like bothering. Oh well. I think I'm gonna go look up some "Autumn Equinox" ceremonies so I can steal some things to say for when I do my little "welcome AUTUMN!" ceremony tommorrow. Yes, I kinda dig the Wiccan stuff, so FUCK OFF and keep your jabs to yourself..he he! (I must subconsciously feel a little embarrassed or something at my inherit paganism because this isn't the first diary entry I have spent cussing about and defending my Wiccan tendencies)...Least I'm not a Jesus Freak..Thank god for that! (notice I didn't capitalize the g in god)..I'm sure I"m going to hell. See you all there, won't we have a BLAST!?
