Take away all the lonely moments.

New Year's Resolutions:

1) I will no longer defend things I like. If people want to know why I like something, I'll tell them, even if the answer is as simple as "I just do." But people who want to get all up in my face, all "You actually like jazz music/horror movies/Gloomy Bear/my mom's balls?!!!" can actually like, let the door hit 'em. Save the outrage for something that matters.

2) I will stop torturing myself, whether it is regarding food, career choices, or some dumb shit I said to someone ten years ago. Let it go, Salome.

3) This year I will be fearless as much as possible. If only so my Yoda doesn't have to be gold all the time.

4) I'm going to get the two necklaces I've been wanting. And that thing for monooka.

And that's that. I hope you are all well. I am fine. I spent the weekend at my boyfriend's house, mostly waiting for Knology to show up. Knology fun:

4-6pm: The time they were supposed to arrive. The Prom King came home early from work to wait for them.
5:30pm: I arrive.
6pm: Call Knology, are told that there's an outage and that they'll be there within an hour and a half.
8pm: Call Knology, are told they'll be there in an hour and a half. Leave to get food since we're starving.
8:10, give or take: Return home.
9pm: Call Knology, are told they've already been to the house. Find a not filled out form from them on the front door. Complain that they could only have been there during a ten-minute window in which we were told not to expect them. Are told that we can reschedule for 19 January. Unacceptable! Are told to call back in the morning.

Saturday morning:

8ish: Call Knology, they say that they'll get someone in the area to come over as soon as possible. The Prom King leaves to go to the post office to pick up his Christmas present for me, which has finally arrived from Japan and apparently requires in-person delivery. The post office is closed. !!! I put on Cannibal Holocaust, intending to watch while the Prom King is gone.
9:30ish: Guy shows up and installs new cable line. Doesn't have high definition box, though, since he wasn't supposed to work at the King's house that day. He tells us that they can install one within the week. We watch Cannibal Holocaust (see below) and take showers.
12pm: Call Knology, are told they are sold out of high definition boxes. The Prom King asks what happened to the one that was supposed to be installed the night before and is given no real answer.
12:05pm: I urge him to call back. He does and is told that there is no lack of high-def boxes. The customer service rep arranges for another local tech to come by and install it. We wait.
3pm: The other local tech shows up and installs the high-def box. After only 23 hours, the Prom King has the service he ordered.

rockgeisha and her boyfriend watch Cannibal Holocaust: A play in one act.

Salome:
Prom King:
Salome: Sweetheart, you really don't have to watch this.
Prom King: I can't look away!
