More on the former new roommate. Her mom and
the landlord cam yesterday (Saturday) and cleaned out all of her
belongings from her room. This happened sometime in the late
afternoon. One of the downstairs people called me and informed this
had happened. About 20 minutes later, the landlord called and
confirmed what I'd just heard. I went home, wasn't truly feeling the
camping vibe anyway. Today, the landlord stopped by again to
finish up on cleaning the room. They are going to begin advertising
the space on Monday. The landlord filled me on a few things about the
former new person. Ten years ago, when they last rented to her, she
was a completely different person. Kind of counterculture, from what
he said. At sometime herein unknown the former new person started
dating this guy. Said guy was horrendously abusive. Maybe she moved
with him to Alaska, maybe not. Ten years later, when she returns to
Santa Rosa she is a total hippie collecting SSI. The hospital is
keeping her for a further two weeks. I sincerely hope that she is
really being helped and not drugged out of her head. Whatever happened
to her, it was bad. I'd have liked to know her ten or so years ago.
Bet she must have been really cool. This is so incredibly fucked
up. There should be some sanctity to life, human, animal, mineral,
vegetable. Her sanctity got violated. This post and the one previous
are what can happen. Only part of the story of what can happen. It's
true, sad, and scary. Please, take care of each other.

| 5/19/07 09:43 pm - Beware the Queen of England!!!
My computer is resurrected. At long last,
complete with completely restored OS, and a new AC adapter with a fan
built into it. No, back to enacting world take over on very small step
at a time. In my absence lots has gone on. Best true story of all time. One
week and a handful of days ago a new person moved into the house. An
older dyed in the wool CA hippie. The house began to smell like week,
I asked her about it. She was assaulted sometime ago, now has wicked
bad neck and back pain, smokes weed with the blessings of a Doctor and
the state of CA. A week goes by, she gets a little stranger. Tried to
get to know her, no luck. Monday, she flips out. I wasn't there to
see it, I had the good notion to take the back road to Petaluma. Half
way to Petaluma I get a phone call from the awesome roommate. Awesome
roommate asks me if I'm home, said no. Asked her if she was, nope, she
was out of the house too. She told me that our new roommate was a
fucking psycho. Said that downstairs housemate had called her and told
her all about it. I decided to keep driving. Another phone call. Behold
the landlord. Calling to say that should the new person seem
dangerous, crazy, and or all of the above to immediately call the
Police. I decide to turn around toward home. Get home, prepare to
park, see three Police cars. Not one, but three. I call Awesome
roommate, ask her to guess how many Police cars are in front of the
house. She says she doesn't know and guess four. I park on a
side street. Walk up to the house, the downstairs people motion me to
come inside. The Officers and one Mediator come downstairs, the look
on their faces, priceless. They ask us about the new person. Say that
if anything should happen, we should call them immediately. That
night, I stay downstairs. Watched the first half of Bridges of Madison
County with one of the downstairs people and her younger sister. Get
tired, set out to sleep on the most excellent leather pull out couch in
the living room. Said couch is right below the new person's bedroom.
She paced up and the down the upstairs well into 3AM. At 6AM she
proceeds to crank up the volume on the worst Gospel music I have ever
heard. It was so loud up there! Tuesday night Awesome roommate and
I are home, seems quiet. Wednesday morning, Awesome roommate texts me
asking me if I am still home. I say yes, she knocks on my door. Comes
in, says she's starting again. Awesome roommate leaves to call the
appropriate people. Ends up being directed to call 911. She does so.
Meanwhile, in the kitchen, the new person is beginning to go at it full
tilt. Saying how The Queen of England, Barak Obama, both President
Bushes, and Clinton were going to pay for what happened to her. She
was recounted violent acts that had happened to her in her past. She
didn't know I was home. Kept going, then left the kitchen to go to her
room. Heard her beginning to pack. I really hoped she wouldn't hit
the streets. She went downstairs. I heard her verbally affronting
somebody. Turned out to be an officer. Few seconds later, she was in
the backseat of a squad car. Second officer comes upstairs. Awesome
roommate comes home. We give our information and all the details we
have on the new person. New person gets taken off the to the Psych
Unit of the nearest local hospital. For 72 involuntary observation. Today
now being Saturday, she gets out. Both of us two remaining roommates
will be out of the house until Monday, when the new person has to be
out by. |

Full of piss and vinegar (after awhile of movie going, mostly piss) I
went to see Zodiac. Great movie. Great movie, though I can in no way
speak for the first half hour of it. I pulled a routine me and walked
into the wrong theater, the one in which the film was just ending. I
thought to myself "Wow. This is one awesome cinematographic style.
Starting the movie near it's end." Fully expecting the movie to
suddenly jump into the beginning at any moment for a real audience
thrill. Should of known when the white typewritten letters appeared on
the screen that I had gone into the wrong showing. Quickly remedied, I
ran upstairs and saw the film, all but the first half hour.
For
what it may or may not have lacked in suspense, it made up for in
style. Granted the fact that I am a huge fan of tacky plaid pants,
that is in no way the reason why I dig this move so much. It was well
planned out. The characters were three dimensional, the shots well
thought out, the lighting was fantastic. And, it was light on the
soundtrack. I carried an honest element to it, of a story being told
about people who were either trying to do their job, got caught up in
their own self-promotion, or found a passion and needed an outlet. Looks
like a pseudo late night tonight. I have an application to stuff, a
book to finish, and a new venue to seek out. Again, the new venue
search is staying under my hat. I am not a fan of uncertainty and
prefer to burn a bridge only upon having safely reached the other side. | | |
| plans brewing, weather's looking to do likewise. mild discomfort, my body aching protesting the marching on of my lunar clock, each tick, a cramp. a sigh; work like a plain that's not seen rain, crying out to far distant deluges raging, but out of nothing. spring at hand, early time change. irrelevant in an imaginary context. new tricks up my sleeves. interests waxing, as the moon hiding halfway behind the clouds, telltale signs by which old wives send signals. lightning strikes; it rides and rolls, as the grip tape that it is atop my skateboard. motion now, like whirling dirtdevils out front my house on the street. as i, still learning roll by. admiring the streetlights, fakie stars which twinkle only as they're failing. might my dreams reach higher, as steam from sidewalks after summer rain. and, land me nay land us all in favorable spaces. under well weathered, sweet summer skies. | | |

Tomorrow (note to self) i am going to meet
somebody at Aroma Roaster coffee shop in RXR square. I am going to
meet this person at 10am. this person, the one I am meeting, she is
going to tell me about her internship with the FBI. Yes, the very same
FBI who puts those snazzy warnings in movies. I've been reading too
many Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child books lately. Those books have
a fantastic character named Aloysius Pendergast, he's an FBI agent. Long
story short. I have begun toying around with the idea of becoming an
FBI agent. I'd get to use Anthropology all the time. Um, yeah. Trust
me, my inner desire to be bad-ass has nothing to do with this. What's
that? No, my fingers aren't crossed behind my back... Lately I've
been jealous of all my friends still in school at in the Anthropology
Department of K-STATE. I'm desperately scrounging around for a life's
plan. At the same time, I like my adventurous side. I'm homesick. I ate ice cream for dinner. The sugar high is wearing off. This sucks. People, read The Serpent and the Rainbow! The book is fantastic, as Californians would say, it's yummy. I keep trying to e-mail one of my former Professors/Mentors. He's probably busy. I'd like to call this person, but... I want to call a lot of people, but I feel like I would be too intrusive. Back to the happy place!!! So, yep, I am going to get the digs on interning with the FBI tomorrow. Fear me, for I might someday pack heat and drive a black town car.Please let me know if it is okay for me to call you! I need more people to call than my folks. I really do! | | |
