Journal t0qer's Journal: Who is this cat toqer? 3
Well today I begin writing my story on slash. I chose to use slash, because it gives a better way of organizing my ramblings than my hard drive, which is prone to my personal fucking up, toying around, and the occasional "Oh shit i'm outta room what gets deleted next!"
I was born feb 10 1973 in San Jose, the heart of silicon valley. If I was planned or accident is still a debate in my family to this day.
Mom met my father in chico at a party and took his virginity. A few months later she was pregnant with me. Before that she had had a pretty rough life and people from my dads side of the family thought she just got pregnant to get at the families wealth. She had been married and pregnant one time before the age of 17. Like I said, great debate.
Dad on the otherhand was from a well to do family that had been doing ranching in san jose for 100 years. He was impossibly smart, and what I mean by that is he was so smart, he always had to be right. As far as I could tell he had picked this up from my grandfather. My grandfather couldn't read and any stab at his intellegence would be met with rage, a rage that was passed to my father, and until recently was passed onto me.
So here is my dad, chemist student, my mom, kind of a floozy. The only thing those two had in common was a low self esteem and a lack of proper social skills. Great, now they're having a kid.
So now, toqer goes back in time, chapter 1 here we come....
Chapter 1, the fox from outer space.
My family had a vested interest in making sure my parents were able to be successful at parenting. A deal was worked out to let them live rent free at our ranch house across the street from the newly built evergreen valley college. It was a large, 2 bedroom old style ranch house on 7 acres of prune orchard. I would be the last of my family to live on such a setup.
My first cloudy memories are of a asperin overdose I had. Those childrens orange flavored tylonols taste just like candy I tell ya! After chewin 20 of those suckers I went in to have my stomach pumped.
I remember floating over my body, seeing tubes comin out my nose, orange crap flowing out of them.
Some time later, I got a dog named muppy, a sister named andrea.
My parents hated changing diapers. So they would throw me and my 2 year old sister outside to play naked. Whenever we had to take a shit, we would just go wherever we were, and our dog muppy would lick it up. They would brag to my aunts and uncles "Our children are learning how to be naked and comfortable with their bodies" Fucking tards.
Well one day me and my sister were outside playing in the sprinklers, letting the dog eat our shit when the earth began to shake and the skies began to darken. The clouds parted a bit and paper began falling from the sky. The clouds parted a bit more and a gigantic fireball appeared in the sky. I yelled "WHO ARE YOU?" and it replied "I am the fox from outer space". It got closer, I saw my sister scared stiff. I grabbed her hand, we ran inside and hid under our beds.
Later I tried telling my parents about this, they probably thought I was crazy. A few weeks later my sister and I were playing outside again when we saw paper falling from the sky. I heard a sound I can only describe as the helicopter effect you hear from taking a rip off a good N2O balloon. This time was a little different than the last though. Instead of simply flying above us, the fox from outerspace was flying THROUGH THE ORCHARD! I knew it was comin, so I grabbed my sisters hand and we ran inside the kitchen to my mom and aunt. The house began to shake, glasses chinked and chimed against one another. The two grownups looked scared!
"It's the fox from outer space! It's the fox from outerspace!" I started telling them. My aunt said, "No honey it's just an earthquake" I tried dragging them to the back door to see, but they just would not go.
Years later, when my sister and I were all grown up I asked her about the fox from outerspace, but never really got a straight answer from her about it. I think maybe it's one of those childhood memories that was so scary maybe she wan't to forget about it. She acknowlages that it happened, but she never wants to go into it.
Till my next ramble, this is toq signing off!

Hmm I wonder if everybody as a child had some strange impossible event happen tot hem that they are just too embarressed to tell anybody about? Interesting concept, opens up a whole slew of conspiracy theories.

Since it was a cloudy day, possible it could have been nothing more than the sun behind some clouds.
The evergreen area of san jose has some sort of rocket testing facility that the shuttles SRB's were tested at.
My families use of outdated but effective chemicals for pest control caused hallucinations.
My parents use of drugs might have rubbed off on me a bit, causing said hallucinations.
But I swear, the thing spoke! The second sighting it came THROUGH the orchard, not just flying above us.
Yeah, it's a weird one.

Which would not explain the earthquakes. ^_^

That would!

Doesn't explain glass breaking
My parents use of drugs might have rubbed off on me a bit, causing said hallucinations.
Still doesn't explain earthquake thingies.
My parents use of drugs might have rubbed off on me a bit, causing said hallucinations.
That could do it.
Yeah, it's a weird one.
But above all else it is definitely that!
