"What have I become / My sweetest friend?"
--Hurt, NIN

Definitely starting with the unimportant stuff today. First, some of the rules that I live by. Some of these are original, some of these were lifted from wiser minds than I. Doesn't matter, they're mine now:
Don't wear the shirt of the band you're going to see, unless it's an old old shirt and you're proving how long you've been a fan, or if they're the opener for the band that everyone else is there to see. Definitely don't be the guy who buys the new shirt and changes into it at the show.
Do not walk more than three abreast on the sidewalk. Two is cool, three is stretching it, four blocks people going the other way. Not cool.
Sleep should ideally come in 13 or 2-4 hour packages, one being a good night's sleep, the other a nap.
There's always a funnier, more complicated way.
Socks are not to be worn while making out unless the boots are still on. If you've worn nothing but socks while having sex, chances are you deserve to be sterilized.
You can wear a pair of pants for just about forever, as long as there's no visible dirt, and you didn't sleep or run in them.
Eat stuff as completely as you're going to before moving on to the next thing.
Stay up till about five in the morning, sleep till three in the afternoon. Everyone's up late anyway, and people always have school or work that you have to wait through. Might as well sleep through.
The person who turned their music on first has right of way.
Only chase after absinthe.

On the way to Julian's to watch Buffy, Sasha and I passed two kids chilling on the sidewalk. They had been talking. As we reached them, one said to me (in an obvious effort to embarass his friend) "He thought you were Justin." We made it about another five feet before we started laughing.

Speaking of Buffy, the show's over. Very sad. I personally feel that the last episode was a bit lackluster, or at least the last few minutes of it. Whatever, it had a good run. Best part of the episode? Giles is sitting at a table with what look like floor-plans, planning placement for a battle. It zooms out till you also see Xander, that Amanda chick (potential Slayer), and Andrew in a red hooded cape. They're playing D&D. Andrew is the DM. What are they fighting? Oh yes. TROGDOR THE BURNINATOR. Providing us with the quote "Illusions, against a Burninator? Silly British man." Giles responded by pondering that he used to be a Watcher, and now he was a wounded dwarf, with all the magical skills of... something lacking in magical skills, I forget. That's why I love this show.

While using AIM today, for the first time ever, I was struck by the realization that I wasn't talking to someone. No conversation. I was just typing. That was a totally uncool feeling.

Speaking of those, I finally get to the important part of the entry, I had all this stuff planned out in my head, and I realize that I still really don't want to talk about it. So the short version: Sasha and I are no longer going out. This is because in the space of two days, I managed to break 100% of the Sasha-Justin specific relationship rules. So she's quite extremely upset with me, and quite rightfully so. And the best friend thing seems to be shot. Maybe the friend thing in general. And it's really weird being around her, because I still feel the same way about her, and she still seems like my best friend, because hey, it's not like she hurt me. Except that kinda thing doesn't work in just one direction. The last two days we've tried just being friends, and being around her is quite the weird. She alternates between acting like things are ok and being intentionally cruel, and as much as I do deserve the latter, I can't take the sudden switching. That's the sort of thing that bugged me even before this. It's just that before, there was a reason to take it, work with it. Not now. Which is why I'm home instead of still at Julian's. And this is the part where I just can't manage to make myself take cheap parting shots. Mostly because she's right.

And then there was a riot.
