The upsides of being readable

I might be crazy, but it's very entertaining. That's why I get to vent my spleen, though honestly I do find it odd that I'm apparently a celebrity. The whole notion baffles me. I just thought of myself as someone who wanted to legalise weed. I don't think I have to play Tina for the notion to come across. In fact, I think that it'd be better if it was a brown queen, and that's where the destigmatising of stoners is more important (given white folx aren't arrested for dealing .. I wouldn't call handing my friend a gift dealing). And I really don't want to deal weed to fund the Weeded Out thing. That's something I entertained, but ultimately I chose not to deal because I don't feel comfortable handing weed to people in lieu of money. I've taken that sort of gig, but I wouldn't want to abuse the power dynamic of dealer-client .. I'm getting the weed off Dakta (that's more like a birthday present), so I'll be able to sort that out next week. My birthday isn't for another week and a bit, but people should RSVP shortly, because otherwise I'll be cancelling the screening due to lack of interest. RSVP by Wednesday. If only 10-15 people do, I might be able to subsidise the meal. I haven't finished inviting people yet; I got distracted editing the film and forgot to check my list. I can't get onto the RNZ email from home, so I haven't invited anyone from work yet.

I've been told by Apple Corps that he's in cryogenic storage, meaning he's legally dead. I'd suggest that it's poor form to pretend he's alive if you were already aware of this. That's all.
