note_to_self
kendera - when handing in art projects four weeks late with no excuse other than pure laziness and lack of motivation to buy paint, say the following with a bit of pout on bottom lip and DO NOT make eye-contact:

"i..i..i didn't think it was even worth handing in. i do not deserve a mark. I deserve a 0"

watch the professor get all squirmy. its because he's now feeling the need to make you feel better about yourself. he'll say, "let's take a look here..."

then instead of feeling like a complete failure for not handing anything in on time, you'll feel real proud of your new little accomplishment.

DannyH I have a friend who managed to successfully argue that he had been unable to do his essay as he had been incapacitated by the stress he had experienced from trying to do the essay. I can recommend this only as the absolute last resort and if you are a fully trained bullshitter. 010622

silentbob Note To Self

This isn’t really worth it is it?
To waste so much of yourself on the pettiest of pettiness
Someday your ache will not hurt
Someday the feeling will be gone
The black in the middle of the universe
That hole in the center of your galaxy
Could be filled
Just hold off for a while
Wait it out, cling harder to the sinking ship
You might get recovered
This ache has been your rut for how many months and how many weeks and how many days
You’re really wasting yourself on this
I can’t believe you
Let it go, give it up
I know it’s hard to do when your whole world is a broken ball of glass
The only surface you lived on shattered and distorted
An altered state of consciousness, sitting alone and writing notes to your self
Someday your ache will be missing
You’ll wonder where it went
You won’t notice at first when it’s gone.
Someday your ache will be but a memory
A memory you’ll laugh about
It won’t make you cry next time
And you will awaken and feel so pure and clean and like the sun is new and the day is good
And everything will be in its right place
Just stick in there longer
Take it from me
It will be worth it

flux maybe not as if i can list off attributes of poee in particular. all the erisian fronts start to bleed together after a while unless you really started to care about that sort of thing, which no one does.

poee is greg hill's (malaclypse the younger, l.q.va. kallisti) sect of discodianism. as with anything associated, exact dates and circumstances of the founding are superseded by confusion and conflicting mythology. not that such "facts" matter much anyway.

as for what it's about, you'd best do to read the writings of the old masters..
http://www.principiadiscordia.com/book/29.php
but i can give a brief exoteric summary.
HEY ASSHOLE - I HAVE NO AUTHORITY TO DEFINE DISCORDIANISM, BUT I'M ABOUT TO DO IT ANYWAY. HAHAHA.
sorry about that. now.
it is, in some sense, a western adaptation of zen. through koans and stories about chaos and order, it attempts to show a reader that she is the one creating these judgments of "order" and "chaos", that they aren't extrinsic to perception itself. they take as a prime example, the greek/roman goddess eris/discordia, imbuing her with a not_very_greek mythology. as well as celebrating chaos and confusion, as a sect, poee especially revels in creating hierarchies and orderings. maybe, in effect, to dispel them.

these days, greg hill is dead, kerry thornley (omar khayyam ravenhurts, the other founding discordian) is dead, robert_anton_wilson (mord the malignant, novelist who probably played the biggest role in popularizing agglomerate discordian thought/non_thought) is dead. thus, as far as i know, the original sects are probably more or less dead. as discordians tend to stick apart, the death of the founding members and organizations means almost nothing. while i'm not aware of any new big names or any particularly inspired works coming out recently, discordianism is hardly dead, having found quite a niche for itself on the internet. it often takes a low profile though, or presents itself in the guise of something else, even things that LOOK serious.

flowerock agreed, sharing that feeling about reading more books.

also, question my questioning. why so I care to know some answers when they are unimportant?

tender square (a document written to myself on 8.15.2018 that i just found)

what are the ways in which you continue to hide in your writing?

remember this feeling, this deep realization that you are not being as honest as you could be, that you hide from yourself.

push beyond the limits of what you are comfortable with, show the vulnerability, show the ugly things you would prefer to hide, that you would prefer to manage and gloss over.

write only for yourself, as if those words would never see the light of day.

be specific, name the thing, take the definitive stance instead of worrying if your interpretation is the right interpretation—quit giving people the benefit of the doubt or worrying about protecting their feelings or your own.

you are still trying to control, you are still holding on to that in some way.

let the control reside in the form, not the subject matter and how you treat it.
