Are you there, Internet? It's me, Tokio.

How's it hangin', Internet?

Since this has become a chronicle of things that annoy me, I wanted to add one more:

Ladies: Well, one lady in particular this time, but it's not the first time. We need to discuss something. When you are in a public restroom with only one stall, and someone else comes in, please don't take this as an oppourtunity to become shy, and not want to finish pooping until the bathroom is empty so that no one will be aware that your perfect form of womankind actually does have waste output. It is a moebius strip of bathroom-ness, and it's really only self defeating, as you will be in there until the end of time, and surely you will need to poop at some point before then. Also, it's Tokio-defeating, as she tries to keep from peeing on the floor. All of us poop; and we've all heard other people do it, damnit! I needed to pee!

Sometimes, I think there's a reason why men rule the world. Just sayin'.

Sincerely,

Tokio

Good Afternoon Internet! The Earth Says Hello!

I hate you so much, Mr. Account Manager for our website.

When I tell you that something on the website is misdirecting people away from the very area that I work on, two months is not an acceptable time period to fix it! This is the 21st century! Things need to move faster! It's just a little change in code, for Christ's sake! Fix the damn link, or give me control over it so I can, you bastard!

Nyaaaarrrrrggggghhhhhhh!!!!!! I will crush your wee tiny head between my fingers in the next meeting, I swear it.

Love and kisses,

Tokio

P.S. Give me your job, you underskilled dunderhead.

Hi Internet!

It's been a long time since we've spoken. It's been a rough few months, I have to admit. But I seem to have a lot of free time now. Kinda sad, that.

I feel like I'm being a baby, but I miss the shit out of my dad. And yet I don't feel sad, not really. How can you feel sad about someone finally being pain-free after years of holding on for the family? I wish I could talk to him again, but other than that, I'm doing ok.

Mom and I were going through his books the other day, and I found a great book called Found!, appropriately enough. It's got a collection of letters, notes and signs that people found outside in various places. They're at times hilarious, but at other times they are heartbreakingly sad. My sisters and my mom didn't think it was cool at all, but I know Dad did, and I do too, so it feels like a connection, I guess. I'm going to try to read all of the books I took from his old room, just to try to get to know him better. I wish I'd had more time to do that while he was still alive, but life, apparently, is too shitty to allow that.

Anyway, just wanted to check in with you, Internet-diary. Everything else continues as well as can be. P. gave me a promise ring the other day, and I think that's pretty damn cool, myself. My mom's already thinking about my wedding, so I guess she likes him too! Everytime I think about it though, all I can think about is that there won't be anyone to give me away. That makes me really damn sad, I suppose, even though not much else does. I assume with time I'll get over that and be ready to move on to the happy stuff, but I'm just going to try to not think about it until then. No sense in tainting what should be fairly happy thoughts, right?

Thanks for taking my various biles, Wild Wild Web. Talk to you soon.

An open letter:

Dear Dr. Made-very-sure-to-let-me-know-he-was-a-doctor-in-the-first-four-seconds-I-spoke-to-you:

You are correct, sir. The individual does not matter to big business because it is so huge. But that is not the reason you have to talk to me instead of Joe Marketing. The reason is is that there a lot of people who would also like to bitch at Joe, some of whom are actually pleasant to speak to. If Joe just answered your calls all day, he would be me. And make a lot less money.

But you know who does still matter? Groups of like-minded individuals. That means, that when you call me and tell me how you feel, your opinion is added to a pile of other similar opinions. If that pile gets big enough, things change. It's a big world out there, and you think someone with a higher degree would realize that.

But thanks again for saying that spending 3 minutes on the phone with a fellow human being with feelings that matter as much as yours do is a waste of time. I appreciated that.

A hearty fuck you from someone who doesn't constantly need to tell people how smart she is,

-Tokio

P.S. You're not cynical, as you said you were. I'm cynical; you're just an asshole.

P.P.S. Real men who are doctors only bring it up when it comes up in conversation. I know, I've spoken to them. And they are the some of the most pleasant, smartest people you could possibly deal with (the women too, of course. I was just insulting your masculinity b/c I detect a lot of insecurity in your quavering voice.)

P.P.P.S. I didn't pass your comments along. See last paragraph for hints as to my motivation.

Woooo!!!!! I'm slightly thinner. Shows what not stuffing your face can do for you...

Hello Mr. Internet! My tank is fight and I'm feeling fine. Which is odd, since I'm sleepy, have a random backache, and am tired of talking to people on the phone. I think it's probably the weather. P. and I had a fire over the weekend, which was awesome and quite warm. And blue! Blue where red should have been! It was cool. You totally should have been there. Although that would probably have cramped my style a bit.

I'm excited b/c I'm wearing my rock star coat today; the one with the puffy collar and sleeves. I've been waiting to do that for a while, thank you very much mild weather. If it starts behaving like actual winter now, I'll be really happy.

In reading this back, it's nice to know that I can be entertained by so little. But it's not really little. P. and I had a great weekend, and it made me realize how much I want to stay with him and make a little house. Squeeze orange juice for him in the mornings, rake the autumn leaves from the lawn...*end Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid reference* Too sappy. But it's nice this way, so I suppose it can stay this way. The cat likes him too, and that's always been important. (Of course the cat likes anyone with a wang, but that's a different story. I think.)

I have every intention of taking a nap today. I'm looking forward to it. Just a few more hours, and it will be mine! *victory fist* Tigerpounce got stuck in the land of smog b/c of all the ice, so she's out until tonight.

I also am working on my very first afghan! No more depending on Spoongirl for my crocheted needs, unless, you know, I want it to look good or anything. Then it's right back to her! Also, if there's anyone who knows the capabilities of yarn and hook, it's her. I honestly think that she could make crocheted busts of classic authors, and they would be recognizable. "Lewis Carroll! Very nice, 80. Is that Mark Twain?! Love the mustache!"

Anyway, lunch is winding down, so I should wrap this up. I'm all lonely b/c I had no one to eat lunch with today. Saa na. Maybe P. will come and have lunch with me soon!

Talk to you later, Internet-san!

-Tokio

She gets so fat!

Wed, 18 Jan 2006 18:03:49 GMT

Been a while, hasn't it, Internet Audience? Guess P. was right about that...

I went to Misery over the weekend. I had a good time, but man that place is cold and desolate. I got really excited b/c we found a Target. That's sad. 80 is about to graduate, though, so maybe she'll consider coming home after all's said and done. She could bring the boy too, I wouldn't mind.

I've decided to watch what I eat a little more closely, in hopes that I'll get my secksay body back. Nothing crazy, b/c I won't stick with that, but I'm just going to decide if I really want something before I eat it. And I'm giving up fast food for a while. I've also considered more frequent bedroom antics, if there's no objection from the other side. That seems like a workout I won't skip, and it seems to be making somebody's arms nice as well! (I'm kidding. I would never use sex just as a workout. Unless he wanted to too.) I'm also going to keep up better with the belly dancing. I love doing that, and I need to make time for it more often. Tigerpounce has also offered to go on walks with me if she's home. We used to do that when we were kids, and it was really fun, so I'm down with it.

The truth of the matter is that I'm lazy, and I won't stick with something if it isn't fun. Maybe P. will take me out clubbing a lot. That would probably help and again, wouldn't be something I minded doing. I bet he wouldn't mind either, seeing as we're going out this weekend...maybe some happy clothes would convince him?

Anyway, all this fat talk is boring. Type to you soon, Mr. Inviso.

Since last week's post was lost in the ether, I thought I'd post again! Feelin' fine today, Invisible Internet Pal. Had an awesome weekend with P., got a lot of sleep, and basically just lazed around. Less rage is a good thing, methinks.

I'm going to the great state of OK, most likely this weekend (approve my time off, boss-lady!), to see a friend of mine who lives in Missouri. This way we can create havoc in a place that's neither of our home states! Yay! Although I guess I also wouldn't mind making Missouri sad. I hate that place.

Anyway, I have to go figure out a budget for this little experience. I might post more later today, Spooky Omnipresent Internet Guy.
