Actually, I’m thinking it may be better to put it off until the 15th. It will be two weeks before the Labor Day Fest, so that won’t throw our schedule off too much and it’s the only weekend where I don’t have to DO anything so it gives me a chance to relax. 🙂 What does everyone else think? ---

Hi everyone! I’m gonna be starting at college in just outside of Philly at the end of August (Haverford College). So, I was thinking this whole being near Philly thing might be cool in that I might try and come to a dinner or DopeFest sometime. I won’t be able to come until sometime after September probably, because of all that getting used to college deal. Just thought I’d drop a line. ---

Damn damn damn fuck! I checked my work schedule for next week, and I’m working until 10pm on Friday. Sorry! ---

Tommorow is no good for me. I have my first appointment with a new therapist. The first meeting is crucial in both describing my actual problems and in seeing how many dead pans I can pull off. EG It’s not the hearing voices that’s bad. It’s that they’ve started singing Barry Manilow. I’m very worried about the effect all this isolation is having on me. I was shopping the other day and I found myself getting very turned on. Then I realized that I was aroused not by any of the women, but by the Kraft Sharp Cheddar. That lewd oleo resin make up! Most cheese is prim and proper. But, Sharp is a dirty girl. I’m beginning to think that all my troubles stem from unresolved Oedipal issues. Do you think I should just kill my father and sleep with my mother so we can get this mess sorted out? Who lives in a pineapple under the sea? What are you laughing about? I asked you a question and I think it would be polite if you answered. I’ve written this treatment plan and I want your opinion on it. The way I see it, it’s needlessly complicated to try and restore my neurochemical balance with all these pills. What I should be doing is extracting cerebrospinal fluid from other people and injecting it directly into my spine. I’ve begun having the dreams again. Cthulu waits and dreams in the deep, and the cities of man shall before him. So, it should be an interesting day. ---

I was wondering which Friday is the Friday in question? Today smells like the 22nd, and I’m home, so is it next weekish? So glad that Sam understands me, but he’s a parrot with a brain the size of a walnut. ---

Since it’s now 4am on Saturday morning, it’s safe to say that next Friday is next weekish. 🙂 Hopefully, we’ll see you all there. ---

Now that I’m a) back from my honeymoon, b) employed as of tomorrow, and c) in desperate need of some Doper activity what say you that we set up a Dinner for next Friday at Fado? 6:30pm or 7pm, whichever the majority thinks will be better. Who’s in? ---

Assuming that Dave and I have money, we _may_ be able to make it. We might even bring the Booga. Robin ---

Definitely the Friday in 8 days. I’m not sure if I’ll feel up for going out after my first day in almost a year of doing more than sitting on the computer, wasting time on LJ, or planning a wedding. (Or sleeping past 7:30!) Robin, it’ll be great if you guys can come down with Booga. He’ll charm those waitresses like none of the guys could. And Frank, I’ll see what we can do. ---
