The deranged mind of everyone’s favourite ne’er-do-well
Work has given me a leash while I’m away.
The benefits of this is that I’ll have a cellphone.
Please email me (craig at sylvanfells dot net) your cell numbers so I may contact you during trip to SF.
If you feel brave, you can put them on here – I’ve changed privs to the post to friends only.
OK so here’s what I think we’re planning to do:
So much of life is about bringing order to (seeming) chaos.
Some of us do better than others, but even the strictist controller has crazyness somewhere.
So, my LJ friends:
Where do you put the crazy?
I checked the costco website (may have more in store) even the cheapest phone had a camera.
I meant to talk to you this weekend about the conversation we had about David & “secrets” and stuff, but I kept forgetting – Here is an IM session I just had with him:
Everything’s cool, I just wanted to let you know what we were talking about, and what I said. We started to talk about the differences in xy/xx ability to have sex be insignificant, etc. — Anyway you can read it for yourself.
He was going to post about it to LJ, but Since you are involved (I speak about my perception of you — Please read to make sure that’s ok, or if you agree/disagree, etc.), I want to make sure you’re ok with stuff, and we’re ok with stuff.
I am being quite oversensitive here, but too much communication is better than not enough, I guess! 😉
P.s. let me know if how/what I said makes you feel, K? Kissies!
elenadan: Good Morning
David: heya 🙂
David: how are you today?
elenadan: back
elenadan: I have the usual monday sluggishness, but apart from that I am good.
elenadan: How are you
elenadan: today?
David: same as you it seems
elenadan: Oh I wanted to talk about the whole secret thing to make sure we’re ok – is now an OK time?
David: yup
David: I’m sure we are okay 😉
elenadan: Me two, I just need a re-assurance
elenadan: cause I’m sensitive
David: okee dokee
elenadan: 😀
elenadan: I don’t think I even have any secrets of your to tell – do I?
David: I don’t have many LOL
elenadan: When Heather posted that “no secrets were devulged,”
elenadan: I thought “Do I know any of David’s secrets *to* tell her?”
elenadan: And I can’t think of any… 😀 hehe.
David: Me either 🙂
David: There really aren’t any “secrets”
elenadan: It was a strange word to use
David: I mean, there are things I have not talked about, and then there are secrets, like my depression triggers, but no one knows those except my therapist.
elenadan: we were talking about sex in general
elenadan: and the seeming ability for men to have it on the side –
David: **nod
elenadan: at least have it be relatively insignificant
elenadan: vs. the seeming way that women view sex as more significant, or personal or binding
elenadan: in a very vague general sense.
elenadan: The idea of having sex and having it mean “nothing” <-- vague, etc. elenadan: is alien to heather David: It's been my experience that women are more likely to noticeable desgrees to interpret sex as more significan, personal, and binding then we men are. elenadan: excactly David: I'm not convinced it means nothing to men, just not necessarily what it means to women. elenadan: yes - I personally attribute it to a compartmentalization ability elenadan: that I seem to posess and see in men I have known elenadan: most likely the tools society has tought us to hide and supress emotion/feeling elenadan: with the help of testosterone David: Research on male and female adult brains suggests that men lateralize many times more than women do--women tend to have more balanced paritcipation David: it's hard to tell what is nature and what is nurture. Probably both are involved/re-enforcing. elenadan: complex relationships and cylces, yes. elenadan: but anyway, I felt the need to fill you in with some of that backstory, etc. elenadan: Which tells me I really care what you think about me, doesn't it? elenadan: telling, that. David: In our search to understand and label everything, we identify women as behaving a certain way--based on a kernel of truth--and men as behaving a certain way--based on a kernal of truth. Then we come to expect it, attach value to labels like masculine and feminine, and remaikning in your category (box) , , , David: I care about you too, Craig. David: One of us should post this exchange on LJ, you mind? David: from Seth just now: vbseth : omg the same fault line that caused the tsunami in december just has a tremor --- 8.5 magnitude elenadan: wee elenadan: I should tell heather first elenadan: I should have talked to her about it first David: okay, make sure it's okay with her. It'll spark dialogue. LJ people love male/female talk :) elenadan: I'll let ya know as soon as I get word from the H
These are some photos from about 11-12 years ago. I was about 21 and living at home in Orange County, California.
Yes, I play recorder. No at the time I didn’t think about the suggestivity.
This was what I wore to 94 (hehe just realized that now with the NBC tie) Christmas Party. Ooh he’s all serious! Derp.
I took a new Icon from it. I like the shadowoing in it.
That’s all.

As it turns out, I redid my desktop this afternoon. Here ’tis:
We are coming to SF this next weekend. We are once again staying at our friend Leslie’s house in Petaluma.
We will arrive in the wee hours of Thursday morning, and we’re planning to leave the area on Monday.
The event we are attending is the 5th Annual San Francisco Tiki Crawl. We’d like to spend as much free time that we can with new (and old) friends, though.
We are friends with some of the core people (and close friends with the guy who does all the work and gets little credit for it) who began this event 5 years ago and we have helped in the past with the execution of the event. We also have a bunch of friends that we see only once a year at this event. That said, like all things that grow, it is not what it used to be, and there are currenlty attending elements that (to be brief) really ruin the event for Heather and I (not to mention piss on the aspects that H and I enjoyed about years past). Compound this with both A: All the lovely people we met last weekend and B: The lack of our usual “club/bar/restaurant” routine in the Castro last weekend.
So we have decided to drive to all the events instead of making use of the event’s bus/shuttles. We want to be able to ditch, or plan to ditch if/when things get… un-fun. Then we could come out and play (and if we make other plans, we can plan to leave.)
So, I’d love to get ideas & plans from those who’d like to come out and play with us. Here is the event’s schedule below (with what I think about whether we’ll be going to it):
THURSDAY, MARCH 31ST, 2005
5:00 – 6:30 — Trad’r Sam’s: 6150 Geary Blvd. San Francisco —- definitely going
8:00 – 11:30 — Mr. Vise Grips Bamboo Bar:19 Broadway, Fairfax — Likely leaving early, or not going.FRIDAY, APRIL 1ST, 2005
5:00 – 7:30 — The Conga Lounge: 5422 College Ave., Oakland — definitely going
8:00 – 11:30 — Trader Vic’s: Anchor Drive, Emeryville — likely leaving early.SATURDAY, APRIL 2ND, 2005 — going to all, open to leaving Lingba early.
4:00 – 5:00 — Trader Vic’s: 555 Golden Gate Ave, San Francisco
5:30 – 7:00 — The Tonga Room: 950 Mason Street, San Francisco
7:30 – 9:00 — The Bamboo Hut: 479 Broadway, San Francisco
9:30 – ??? — The Lingba Lounge: 1469 18th Street, San Francisco
All these events are open to the public, you just have to say “I’m with the Tiki Crawl” should anyone want to join us. I know that
So Thursday & Friday (and indeed Saturday) Nights are all open. What is everyone’s schedule? What fun stuff would anyone like to do?
I’ll start: Friday Night, I’m thinking Martuni’s & The Cafe.
