i was impressed that she saw past our mutual complicit online farces, and could continue the narrative of artifice known as the internet via facebook. on her wall, she had linked the above link with commentary of my ‘hideousness,’ which stung a little, but i got over it.</p> <p>to be honest, when she first friended me, however insane and unlikely, for a second, it flashed through my brain “wow, maybe i can come on her face, i know she’s into that.” the internet, and i’m being earnest here, is exactly that. a place for hideous dreams immune to the proof real life presents.</p> <p>marie just unfriended me. part of me feels like she wanted me to read her wall, about me being hideous, and once she felt i did that, she unfriended me. kate zambreno, a feminist who hosts an irrational hatred of me due to not being able to perceive my misogyny ironically, was there to like it or something. marie’s boyfriend, a soft skinned man who looks like a cross between jimmy kimmel and bobby moynihan, commented critiquing the literary merit of the linked piece.</p> <p>my misogyny is ironic because i don’t have the physical, political, or emotional power to hurt women. they have the power to hurt me, and have, and continue doing so. my sexual conquests are limited, and i’ve always been a gentleman to them, ever grateful and loving.</p> <p>real life made me sad, so i went online to find a life there, and it too has made me sad, so i may go back to real life; or, i may simply keep trying to do both. keep trying to fuck people in both worlds. fuck them in terms of misguided love. fuck them in terms of hate.</p>http://jimmychenchen.com/post/17616817884http://jimmychenchen.com/post/17616817884Tue, 14 Feb 2012 11:54:53 -0800<p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lzcl529bFS1qbb3i1.png"/></p>http://jimmychenchen.com/post/17563015305http://jimmychenchen.com/post/17563015305Mon, 13 Feb 2012 12:05:31 -0800<p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lz61i0ZrQi1qbb3i1.jpg"/></p> <p><strong>went to:</strong></p> <ul><li>work</li> <li>‘off the grid’ street vendor food</li> </ul><p><strong>ate:</strong></p> <ul><li>pad thai, beef curry over rice, spring roll, ‘free’ as part of work catered baby shower</li> <li>bacon cheeseburger with fries from ‘off the grid’ and $12 gift certificate co-worker gave me for christmas, auspiciously costing exactly $12</li> </ul><p><strong>drank:</strong></p> <ul><li>coffee</li> <li>cuvee champange, from aforementioned baby shower</li> <li>water, a large cystal geyser gallon, with minor backwash, from which i’ve been drinking at work for ~4 days</li> <li>hibiscus tea</li> </ul><p><strong>listened to:</strong></p> <ul><li>van halen, prince, tone loc, st. vincent, inxs, neil young, the former three for semi-ironic ‘novelty’ sake at work for entertainment value</li> </ul><p><strong>watched:</strong></p> <ul><li>chopped, american idol, fat chef</li> </ul><p><strong>wrote:</strong></p> <ul><li>worked on “self-esteem,” an essay about the offspring song, written in the style of <em>pale fire</em>, with excessive slightly deranged commentary</li> <li>some tweets</li> <li>some formspring answers</li> <li>revised draft of post in which i compare andy desfrane in ‘shit tunnel’ and craig schwartz in john malkovich ‘mind portal’</li> <li>a lot of work emails concerning a conference call with european participants</li> </ul><p><strong>read:</strong></p> <ul><li>thought catalog, selected articles</li> <li>htmlgiant comments</li> <li>some of robert walser’s ‘the walk’</li> <li>a lot of work emails concerning people’s responses to their availabilities for a meeting from which they were presented with dates/times to choose</li> <li>spencer madsen’s ‘this is what i did today,’ various entries</li> </ul><p><strong>notable:</strong></p> <ul><li>lana del rey performed at ameoba at 6pm which i considered going to, but felt it would be too ‘packed’ and full of either dumb or mean people</li> <li>felt strong conviction to eat tofu for next 2 days after burger food politics and caloric/fat intake guilt</li> <li>unfollowed someone on twitter b/c their profile pic was professionally taken</li> </ul>http://jimmychenchen.com/post/17364185104http://jimmychenchen.com/post/17364185104Thu, 09 Feb 2012 23:43:00 -0800<p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lz3qkeJzQM1qbb3i1.png"/></p>http://jimmychenchen.com/post/17293959363http://jimmychenchen.com/post/17293959363Wed, 08 Feb 2012 17:24:21 -0800<p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lz388b2d781qbb3i1.png"/></p> <p>van gogh’s ‘old man in sorrow’ cries in mcsweeney’s chair</p>http://jimmychenchen.com/post/17272110870http://jimmychenchen.com/post/17272110870Wed, 08 Feb 2012 10:48:16 -0800<p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lyzs4wgKiy1qbb3i1.jpg"/></p>http://jimmychenchen.com/post/17171813366http://jimmychenchen.com/post/17171813366Mon, 06 Feb 2012 14:07:49 -0800<p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lywtb0dG0f1qbb3i1.jpg"/>aokigahara</p>http://jimmychenchen.com/post/17081841194http://jimmychenchen.com/post/17081841194Sat, 04 Feb 2012 23:42:03 -0800<p><strong>Since the last evaluation period, have you successfully performed any new tasks or additional duties outside the scope of your regular responsibilities?
