The sleep of reasoner breeds monsters. (sic)


« on: February 17, 2018, 07:19:50 PM »


If anyone is even slightly interested, don’t blame you if you’re not, I’m jotting these down as I sit killing time before we head to the theater. Let’s see how many I can fit in. I’ll do the last one first. Feel free to leap in. Or not. Or something. Or both. Or neither. Or 42.


1.   I was almost born in a hotel locker room.
2.   I was a county spelling bee finalist in grade school. (2nd place, in other words.)
3.   My employment contract stipulates that I may not get a tattoo.
4.   I’ve never personally subscribed to cable or satellite TV.
5.   I’ve beaten every Souls game except Dark Souls 3, in which I lost interest near the end.
6.   I bid on a Bob Ross painting up for auction.
7.   I college I wrote to Kevin Spacey, and he wrote back.
8.   I had a chance to teach English in Mongolia, but couldn’t go.
9.   I was held in an Irish detention center over a misunderstanding.
10.   I’ve known two men in their twenties who died on their living room sofas.
11.   A stylist once cut off my hair without permission.
12.   In 12th grade a French boy asked I read Tarot cards to tell how he’d die; I said “suddenly.”
13.   There’s a word that brings on a slight erotic reaction in me, but I’ve never told it to anyone.
14.   At the first party I went to in college a girl vomited on my bare leg.
15.   I’m obsessed with the Battle of the Somme, and have been to most of its sites.
16.   I have seen HIV under a microscope.
17.   A friend with whom I'm going to the theater tonight would hate me if she knew a secret I live with.
18.   I wrote a 30-page peer-reviewed paper called “Notes on Transmission and Morbidity of Cholera in London.”
19.   My husband knows nothing of his biological father and is trying to get his birth mother to leave the information in her will.
20.   One of my friends sincerely believes he was abducted by aliens, and has run metal detectors over his body looking for implants.
21.   When I was a little girl I touched a hot iron, mostly because my mom said not to.
22.   I have a map collection insured at $10,000.00.
23.   As a teenager a doctor said if I didn’t eat more I had to either quit playing tennis, or I'd run the risk of an anorexic heart attack.
24.   Almost every day I pray for the families of people killed by friends of mine in the military, and for my friends and their families, and ask mercy on the communications specialist who guided my friends to kill those people.
25.   I’m writing this twenty-two stories above street level.

Hmm, trying to think of things I haven't already owned up to here.

1) Well I think communism and anarchy are doomed to failure not because they are bad systems, but because people are basically not built to be nice to each other on the kind of scale that would be required (translation the human race is a bunch of a***oles, find out a way to deal with that and you have the key to peace of earth).
2) I like cats more than people.
3) I find people who are continually negative about things irritating.
4) On three seperate occasions I have saved someones life. No one has ever said thank for you that.
5) After the third time I was stabbed I had difficulty leaving the house for a few months afterwards. I'd go to walk out the door and be unable to force myself to go out it.
6) I am fairly suprised that I am still alive.

You were falsely imprisoned because you were innocent, or by falsely imprisoned you mean you don't think you deserved your sentence? I used to know a man who spent weeks standing in front of a courthouse wearing a sign that equated his being sent to prison for growing marijuana with such hate crimes as Nazis singling out Jews. Should he have been sent up for growing weed? Debatable. Was he guilty? Yep.

Odd to think a social justice advocate such as yourself did not seek legal advice to address such a violation of personal liberty.

Very odd.

Very odd.

It was "legal".

A judge abused some members of my family in his court and fined a few for contempt when they spoke out against his abusive tone. One was sent to jail for 30 days because been judge didn't like tebwayne looked at him.

I was 17 and spoke out against the judge a lot, called him various names outside his court,  posted some things about him on early social media, etc.

Then the judge's car was burned.

I was held on suspicion without bail because of the " serious nature" of the incident despite having overwhelming evidence that I was 40 miles away at a convention at the time.

I was held in juvenile until my 18th birthday, then transferred to county jail. I was raped there while guards ignored it.

After a year it came to court and evidence placed me at the convention. I was released.

Later it was found the judge had had his teenage son Molotov his car to have me put in jail for badmouthing him. Insurwnce records showed e'd boosted te insurance on hus  car just before the arson.  A man who raped me in jail offered to testify he'd been out up to it by a staffer who said the judge in his case would dismiss fares against him if he did it. The feds were investigating the judge for corruption and made a deal with the scum and the staff at the country jail. Seemed he'd been fixing cases, helping people hide assets in divorces and on taxes, etc. Someone he helped was busted on something else and offered to expose a crooked judge to tale some time of his sentence.

The judge was indicted and convicted in federal court for several charges. He admitted to framing me and having me raped.

I sued the country and state and collected some damages. Taxes and my lawyer got most of it.

So, ER,  got any more snide, insinuation laden questions about my past?
