i'm moving farewell livejournal

it's been a good run, livejournal. and even though there will be other blogs, i'll never forget that you were my first. i'm leaving a month before our fifth anniversary. jeez, that's a long time.
i was going to do a retrospective-type thing, but lj's archiving system sucks and i really wouldn't know what to pick.
anyhow, it's been really great.
my new blog is at http://kenton.grahamstreetsalon.com.
it would mean a lot to me if you read that now. it's less convenient than a friends page, but bookmarking things is easy.

to end:
i love you all



Mood: touched

you know what, why don't we reframe the issue of gay marriage so that 'family values' means loving a member of your family, say a son or a daughter that is gay, instead of comparing the nontraditional structure to the popular (and quite inaccurate) "normal" image of a nuclear family?

i don't even want to consider calculating the number of hours i've spent on the phone talking to customer service

ah, sweet ebay profit ...

the only worse thing than talking to an unhelpful and confused service representative on the phone for a long time while having to pee badly is winding your way through the automated menus to get there.

this site, http://gethuman.com/us/, tells you what to press to talk to a real live person for almost all the major corporations.
it's v. sweet.

also, fuck proprietary ink cartridges in printers. fuck them so hard.

and force-feed suntrust online banking the rotting meat of 30 assorted year-dead pigs and elephants.

also, so many corporation's online faqs are designed to funnel the needy browser into directions that will benefit the company. there are never any 'frequently asked questions' about things that will lose them money.

also, www.penisland.com is a website that sells pens. they are unfortunately named "pen island."

i've spent the last many hours exhaustively cleaning and organizing my room; it needed it badly. whenever i do this, i always find very strange and sometimes wonderful things. people in graham street put tons of shit in my room because it's the closest to the living room. this time, the one thing i have found more than Anything Else is gum: tens and tens of packs of unopened gum, everywhere. i can't remember the last time i've bought gum. i don't think i ever chew it. or want it. all the gum is also definitively from different time periods. this is very strange.

if you live in chapel hill, come to salon this week. travis, bring that person you're not telling anyone about. she's a kickass writer.

fare well!
love
kenton

"It follows that all organisms must be content with rather little consciousness, and that if consciousness has any useful functions whatever (which has never been deomstrated but is probably true), then economy in consciousness will be of the first importance. No organism can afford to be conscious of matters with which it could deal at unconscious levels."
