 A massive feast of fried chicken, fried pickles, fried okra, fried carrots, strawberry-and-banana pudding, and corn nuggets washed down with sweet tea, followed by drinking with companions.  We were served by a monumentally obese black man who encouraged us and coached us on how to properly enjoy our meal, before we advised him we weren't yankees, but locals.

Excellent times in the glory of youth.

You'd think a guy who likes fried iced tea would have enjoyed tempura when he was in Japan.

Something unhallowed has emerged from Detroit.

Is she a maid or a Viking?

 The weather outside is unseasonably temperate, with a gentle breeze. I sat outside in the shade for the better part of four hours slowly sipping tea, assembling models at an extremely unhurried pace, and enjoying the uninsistent feeling of happiness and tranquility in wonderful company, with the smell of tea in a large pot and pipesmoke agreeably mixing with milieu of a summer garden's usual fragrances.

I imagine that I would want to remember such a pleasant summer for the rest of my life.

 Imminent Languish meetup on Saturday. It seems legit, assuredly- although acquaintences have the inevitable misgivings.

Perhaps going to Shiloh?

Yes, and it should be interesting.

Shiloh?  Like the death place of Texas' most famous traitor?

No way Johnston is more famous than Sam Houston and Stephen Austin. :p

Don't ask him to buttfuck you.  He's not your roommate.

When they teach Texas history these days, is Texas independence all about liberation from the oppressive Mexicans, or is it taught in a balanced manner? Are the old Texas heroes still considered heroes in the official education?

Part of the draw to see Shiloh is that the other ACW battlefields I've been to are in northern states: Gettysburg and Antietam. Seeing the strength of the confederate fanboyism that still persists/how things are presented should be interesting.

 After a talk about the importance of appreciating the changing seasons, my roommate and I took a drive to enjoy the scenery. We went as far as Murray, Kentucky before turning around- everything was quite wonderful, and Dresden is a fine Southern town that makes me feel better about the immediate environs of Northwest TN. It would truly seem that Martin, settled so late and little more than a college town, is truly the worst in the area.

As we slowly drove back toward home, we both without forethought began singing The Legionnaire's Lament, a spontaneous duo that left me deeply affected. I am sure my roommate was thinking thoughts comparable to mine, and the ensuing silence was heavy but overwhelmingly pleasant.

Lately there has been a well-meaning young lady pursuing my affection. I invited her over numerous times, because I was happy to have company that could enjoy good tea, and she would watch any anime I assigned to her or read literature I recommended. It was pleasant to have someone to share culture with, and she brought over kahlua and other nicknacks at regular intervals to make the apartment a more pleasant place. I wanted to believe she shared my regard that we were just friends, but at length it became obvious I had to keep her at a greater distance and hold her in less intimacy than before. How unpleasant!

It is a very lonely feeling to have to push someone away, but under the circumstances, it can't be helped. I couldn't really do anything less and be consistent with decency..

Maybe you should try more flamboyant mannerisms to avoid such awkwardness in the future.
