8:32 pm [elle_powerlifts]	Class at Skilltech Might be a bit out of the way for the folks in the UV but if you know of anyone interested up North let them know. For purely selfish reasons I am posting this. I want to go to this class and they won't have it unless 8 more people register for it. So: if you know of anyone who's been interested in working on small engines or learning about it or been doing it for a bit but need more experience Skilltech up in Essex Jct is having a class. Good for those folks who might like reading Shop Class for the Soul and Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Repair or if you hate bringing the snow blower to Sears to have it repaired for more than the price of the class. x-posted for potential (Comment on this)

4:01 pm [jethrablack]	upper valley zinester here! $2 + 2 stamps excerpt: After class I went over to her apartment and we got high, listened to Polyester Bride on repeat while she told me about Romania. It didn’t take long for us to become inseparable- both girl slutbag stoners obsessed with films and completely shit to the wind unstable. I’d go to her house almost every day that semester. Sometimes lying on her bed while she edited her films, always on drugs together, always chain smoking. Her anger at men was taken out regularly on her long time friend and roommate Naked Boy. She yelled at him to cook her food and then made him art when she felt bad for her yelling. The house was filled with this art and it was stunning to look at when she would put me in the awkward situation of listening to her call Naked Boy a twat. It was a cycle neither one of them cared to end. The first time I witnessed this was when we were all out of weed. Both of us, addicts, freaked out and she commanded Naked Boy walk 4 miles to the pawnshop and trade in her guitar for cash so we could hook up with my dealer; a punk rock goddess named Love. Naked Boy finally agreed to pawn some shit for us and Leena threw cigarettes at his face as reward. I never understood why he put up with her bullshit but he never seemed phased by it, and now six years later they are still living together somewhere in Arizona. send order to hannah neurotica po box 1895 grantham, nh 03753 i also do trades!!! will ship anywhere! contact w/ questions: lickmylit@gmail.com (Comment on this)

11:37 am [mama_hogswatch]	Warning I needed to get a Dodge looked at by a dealer. I called Miller Auto because it had a courtesy shuttle. (Against my better judgment, because we'd had trouble with them buying a used car). The first question I was asked was "Is it a woman's vehicle?" I said I would look for another dealer. So, anyone who's local to me? Don't deal with the Miller Auto Group if you can help it. (Comment on this)
