DRACO: Magical Cure-All for the Muggle World
A new antivirus is being developed at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology under the name DRACO (Double-stranded RNA Activated Caspase Oligomerizer). Since its first tests on lab rats and in petri dishes with various diseases, it has since eradicated all 15 diseases it has been tested on including 4 strains of rhinovirus, 2 strains of H1N1, polio various, and many others.

Springing into School
What better way to kick off a school year in the backwoods of Alabama in 100 degree heat than with some nice flannel and an ushanka? Tomorrow should be a great first day if you dont count attending a very redneck school in the middle of nowhere.

About Last Night…
Sorry for the serious posts yesterday. I just had a lot to get off my chest for the longest time.
Now I guess Ill move on to a much lighter note with some of my other vacation doings.
First night was spent with an old friend of mine. We hung out, smoke, and watched TV. Had a great time catching up with each other.
Got a new pair of shoes that I ordered online on Tuesday. Here is an image for your viewing pleasure:
Silly thing was, that I was intending to buy boy shoes because I knew my mother might throw a fit if I didn’t. At first I thought she was going to be accepting, but she wouldn’t even let me buy a hairbrush that had a pink handle when I was shopping for some a few days ago. Either way, I ended up accidentally purchasing a woman’s shoe anyways. I told the guy to get me an 11 after trying on a 10.5 and it was too small, and Im afraid that the size 11 in womans shoes will be too big and/or too small.
Now I am just sitting around the house of a family friend and hoping my shoes arrive in the mail tomorrow before I leave to stay the night at another friend’s house.
Follow Up: Sexual Tension is a One-Sided Issue with Me
My lust for this girl was nearly palpable as we made our way around the mall. I am very glad she didn’t pick up on it. We had a fun time anyways and caught up on what each other had been doing. Makes me feel like such a loser with how much time I spend as a hermit alone in my room while she is out at conventions running with an older crowd. Ive had such a crush on her for many years now and never acted on it. I know Im currently in a relationship, but technically it IS open and I could try and make my feelings known to her. She is so much higher on the social ladder than me, yet she still loves to hang out with me. It really just ends up hurting me most of the time because of how many feelings I have to bottle up. Im really going to regret posting this, but I want to get it off my chest so badly. I try and express my lust over her whenever she is not in a relationship, but I hold it back to long and she starts up another one. This has happened on two occasions already, and I really don’t want it to happen a third. I know we can’t reeeeeeeeeeeeeeally be together like I kind of hope for, but I want her to at least know. And I know this is last minute information, but we have had somewhat intimate moments on a few separate occasions. Never anything past third base and no penetration (though you have no idea how much I wish there was). Those little tastes leave me hope that she at least finds me somewhat attractive as more than a friend, but there is no way for me to know that for sure. If her current relationship ends at any point, I want to try and man-up (ironic, I know) and at least tell her. I want a real answer from her too and won’t accept anything other than a definite yes or no.
God this post was so fucking long, I am so sorry for those of you who took the time to read it.
PS: She was very against me purchasing anything for her, but at least I got to get her lunch. She wouldn’t tell me anything she wanted. D:
Public Workspace
Post I wrote up earlier today:
“It is fucking hot outside here in Alabama. I was never one for the heat, but there are many lengths one will go to for a pretty lady. Just waiting for a long-time friend outside of the mall in the hot hot sun. This ground is none too kind on my rump either, but I don’t mind too much. It has been through much worse in its life. Ive got some green tea and $58 and I am going to treat her like royalty today. Since I do not have internet, this will be posted later in the day along with a follow-up on how the day went. Ciao!”
Malls: America’s Body Part of Some Sort
Just as Banky Edwards in Mallrats had his own sentimental attachment to the Eden Prairie Mall, I have an affinity for all large shopping centers. When living in a city, where is a generic, and yet always good, place to hang out with friends for a few hours? The mall. There are stores and stores and stores galore all in one convenient complex. There is an eclectic gathering of sorts in both the stores and the people moving in and out of them. The mall provides a safe haven for you to get some walking exercise done, as well as the purchasing of goods and services from one of its many fine establishments.
Malls are slowly disappearing across the US of A with less and less people going out to enjoy a walk & shop event in their life. I say we encourage people to get out and enjoy their malls. If they don’t have money for goods, then they can bring a friend and just have fun together for a few hours! As a teenager without a job yet, I often go to malls broke as a joke, but I still have a gay old time. Don’t let malls be a thing of the past. Malls are integral to many facets of my life, and they should have a heavier presence in others.
