Whew, water heaters @#()* suck. My hands feel all raw from what I had to do just moving that bastard around. My bro couldn't help either since he hurt himself during the installation process. Thankfully my dad the immortal dreadnaught helped a lot during the takedown of the damn thing.

Yesterday I spent the day with someone I know. It helped me realize that I wasn't as insane as some people think about this personal celibacy issue. When I told him I was thinking of doing it again, his immediate reaction was "What, you aren't already for the past five years?!" Ha ha!! After explaining my issue and the efforts, he understood. Of course, his love life is possibly worse than mine (though he actually has a much better social life than mine), but I'm glad to know that I'm not the only one.

Today, I *worked* all day at my dad's place. I emphasize working because working actually involves putting effort. Unfortunately, the weather was crap so the business was just as crappy. Still, it gave me an excuse to go around outside and interact outside of the computer which was helpful, plus giving me exposure to the macrobiotic diet again as well as lining my pockets with some much needed income. I got to work on my sketchwork to improve on human anatomy from it as well though as well as finished "Brave New World" (oddly enough, the world they mention makes so much sense to me).

Right now, I feel... tired. Tired, but satisfied. I still have much to hone, but I *will* make myself grow sharper.

I loved brave new world. Although I can't say I was terribly satisfied with the ending.

I don't think you're crazy for wanting to be celibate. I think if it's truly what you want then it's a good thing. I guess I was just worried that you were just giving up hope and resigning yourself to this because even though you'd be happier with another you believed that it's impossible. I guess I'm just a big advocate of not giving up. *hugs* Just be happy, that's all that's important. *smiles*

I couldn't help but feel that "Brave New World" made too much sense. The whole sex thing got to me though. Personally, I think they should have just made more money by having people pleasure themselves with machines instead of intercourse with people. It's newer as well as more costly! I dunno, maybe I didn't like it because women felt like pieces of meat in the entire book: I had yet to notice a single alpha female and all of that which the women knew were overly specified things. Still, I felt the ending was appropriate. Sort of like a "Death of a Salesman" appropriate.

*nodnods* All the women were piece of meat. They were all drugged up sexoholics. It was never my favorite, but I've always found it interesting. I especially like the bit where the 'savages' are the only ones who have any education. Plus I love the quote "Oh brave new world that has such people in it" I'm not sure why though, it's just nifty and one of those quotes that I've used occasionally. As for the ending, I was always unsatisfied with that because he was one character I actually enjoyed. I'd rather it happened to that little bubbly airhead who's name I forget.

I've still yet to see/read Death of a Salesman. I should get off my arse and start reading again.

I'm glad that it isn't just me then about the women.
If you're talking about the woman airhead, then yeah, I have to agree. Bernard reminded me a lot of those punks that like to make a big deal about real issues but never stick up to their claims. I think the three guys represented three different ways people can not fit into their society and how they react towards it. I can't help but feel that the ending for the other two wasn't much better either, though the savage's was indeed very noble.

Orgy porgy... *shudder*
