Well I'm off to Saskatchewan, and boy am i stoked. I don't suppose that you care but that's ok too. Big wedding lots of good friends, music festivals, i'm sure that it'll be a gong show.

I have a different take on many things in life since aarc, but honestly I think that most of these ideas were there before hand.

 Aarc was pretty dern'd intense. On this site there are some accusations of some pretty terrible things, I don't presume to know the whole history of Aarc and everything that has gone on there... but i know what it was like for me. A lot of reality, that I couldn't avoid, but more importantly some really decent people that I could talk to. I tried to make the best of a very bizarre situation, and ultimately things have changed which is alot more then I can say for my years of stagnant, resigned stupor. Everything is not perfect and all is not right in the world but I'm back to trying so that's a pretty sweet deal for me.

but anyhow ... I'm sleepy. looking forward to tommorow. One love, Charles Lowry

Sounds like your living it up. When you get back we will have to play a game of lord of the rings risk.

Now that is living life in the fast lane.

Fuck that game and more importantly, fuck the people who thought it up solely to ruin the pure, untainted name of the original Risk.

I almost (and I stress almost) feel like I should thank you though Joel, since your house was definitely the highlight of my stay at AARC (re: extraordinarily kickass steam-shower and hottub). It's just too bad that your family got suckered in by "the Doc's" fear-mongering wax psychology; unfortunate, because they seemed like such nice people. In fact, most of the parents at AARC were, in the majority of my experiences, exceptionally nice people; Sadly, all very misguided, mistreated and mislead into such a drastic state of absolute submission, that all of the host homes had their fair share of peculiar quirks (a.k.a. "AARCisms").

Most notably, I found that the parents (more often the male than female) would at times become visibly frustrated with the program or as a direct result of said programming, and instead of making a critical observation of the obvious source of their frustrations, would sooner make an attempt to find what "sick" behaviour was still being harboured by their "sick-mind" causing their (all too human) feelings of anger. It was then usual for either their spouse or, more often than not, child, to either support or chastize the offending family member according to their ability (or inability) to "let go" of the so-called "unhealthy" idea that AARC was ever to blame. If you ask me, I'd say that such a way of thinking is exponentially more harmful in the long-run than most all thoughts associated with the "hurtin addict's mind".

However, I digress, until a later date...

p.s. Gongshow, hurtin dude, hooped and of course, YOUR SECRETS KEEP YOU SICK!... There, that should fill the required AARC-buzzwords pretty damn quick
