I can see it now. I'm in a living room in London's East End. I have a colour TV set given to me by my rich sister and an aluminum Christmas tree with pea green baubles. The year is 1967.

color tv in england in 67 ? super rare i'd think
we got one (color tv) with the broadly broadcasted apollo moonlanding, and then it was not very common to have color tv, and there were no color programs, only some on the german tv

the test bar was the most colored thing you'd get most of the time :D

Did I say London? I meant Berlin.

After I've been on the Internet for 5 hours, I start looking up a whole bunch of German stuff.

If I posted news stories about things the left does that I think are bad, I would end up being banned from WP for being called a so-called Nazi.

I asked Santa to wish our troops a Merry Christmas for me. He told me that peace on earth would be a better wish. We talked for two minutes and agreed that peace on earth is the better wish.

Probably not. There's plenty of valid grounds to criticize either the entire left, or particular subsections.

More likely your sweet pea nature isn't well-suited to arguing, so you might get worn out and worked up.

For a guy who fanboys on that period in German history, you seem among the least likely to ever seriously be accused of supporting totalitarianism. The bulk of your personality seems too laid back and motivated by kindness to actually embrace the sort of violence and dehumanization of dissenters that defines the Nazi ideology and those adjacent to it (including Leninism and it's offshoots, if you'd like to criticize them I'll be happy to join).

Testing the spread setup to it's limits.
And I gotta be picky. :| Picky picky pick-pick~

Smaller fonts, smaller writing... Still just as messy and chaotic. Some fancying, like multicolored ink pens...

Luella. That's what's on my mind. I went to light an incense and the lighter I grabbed was one I'd call a 'Luella lighter'. One of my ex's used to date her. She always had one of those free lighters they give out at this local gas station when you by a pack of cigarettes...not bic lighters, but those cheap boxy ones that leak fuel and that if you really want to, you can pop the top off and adjust the flame to make it huge. I went to light the lighter and the top flew off and laughed out loud. It brought her into my thoughts. I always liked her. She had a sharp mind and was good for making me laugh. I have no idea why they broke up, he never told me. But that was a shame. She was a cool person. Her lighters always sucked though.

I have a feeling that Four Horsemen by The Clash is about the picture of The Kinks with the horses.

I can't stop laughing, and now I'm coming down from my high. I've injured myself due to the stupidity that I display when I drink coffee. I think I'll listen to Lili Marleen.

A couple of my coworkers are acting weird around me (one that's watched me talk to the maintenance supervisor and the one that told my aunt he's married, they both gossip a lot) and it's giving me anxiety. I think they think I know he's married and that I have been flirting with him anyways, even though I only found out Friday.
