About Me:
Ben was born in 1359 to a noble family who owned large
tracts of land across the south of France. At the tender
age of 14, Ben was savagely beaten by a gang of rogue
nuns. This event, along with his betrothal to a slightly
transvestitic Austrian princess, caused Ben to flee his
family's estate in terror. He soon joined up with a band
of roaming
entertainers who called themselves the Merry
Exhibitionists and toured Europe. In 1377, while
performing for the King of England, Ben was introduced to
Ewan McGregor, a stable boy for the Prince of Wales. Ben
abandoned the troupe to live in sin with Ewan in London.
When Ben was 21, Ewan died in an outbreak of bubonic
plague that ravaged southern Britain. Distraught, Ben
made his way
to the Continent, where he soon fell in with a ring of
jewel smugglers in Belgium. The smugglers' leader, Franka
de Potente, fell for Ben's charms and in 1382 entrusted
him with a large ruby destined for the queen of Sweden in
Stockholm. Ben betrayed Franka and instead took the jewel
to Constantinople, where he sold it to the Byzantine
emperor for a large sum of money. Ben used his new wealth
to settle in the
imperial capital and open a small coffee shop specializing
in lattes and opium. He would, perhaps, have lived out
his
life in peace and comfort, but in 1388, Ben was tried on
trumped up sodomy charges. He was found guilty and burned
at the stake later that year. His alleged descendants
currently reside in Canada.

Who I Want to Meet:
The sorts of people I want to meet are like the
description of obscenity. I can't define it, but I know
it when I see it. Hmm. Let's just say the people I want
to meet are obscene.

sing Handel's messiah? no? good cause
he can't but he can play the piano.
that will be good when we are married.
his music will distract us from
thinking about how miserable we are
together. i miss you!!!!
library between classes and write
friendster testimonials, cause' what
the hell else am i gonna do? and today
i have chosen you. like i said, you're
a lucky bastard. so here goes: i'm
not exactly sure where i met ben, but i
think i have it narrowed down to either
pds or denny's. he used to do hedwig
monologues for me whilst smoking my
cigarettes and downing whole pancakes
in one bite. i love to listen to him
talk, because ben always has something
good to say. he has a love/hate
relationship with morrisey and he once
wrote me a poem entitled "a pernicious
ode to pds." i've kept it, and
whenever i'm starting to think i should
go back to work there again i pull it
out and am reminded that the only
reason working there was ever fun was
because of the people i worked
with...who all had the good sense to
get out before i did. ben, you're
lovely and i wish i saw more of you!
christmas and have a safe new years!
much love!
you happy now? hahahhhhaaaaa!
has experienced the lurid fabulousness
that is queercore, dc's very own
gay/bi/lesbian/trans/punk/ska/rockabilly
/80s/new wave night. too cool. be sure
to visit us fuckers next semester if
you get the chance
personal or NICE enough and Ben, for
once, may be right. So here is round
two of benpraise. I apparently was the
first person who was nice to ben at the
meridian but Ben was the first person
to make me watch Velvet Goldmine...and
do I thank him for it...God no! But
seriously folks, sometimes god has a
sick sense of humour and he takes
people in and out of our lives like the
ebb and flow of the tide and everytime
they are gone there is a little less
fun, a little less laughter, and little
less sick humour and a little less
genuine warmth. Ben, you make people
happy. You always get the jokes, you
always laugh, and you are always
willing to let a lonley girl wrap her
white little legs around you, or at
least you are when you're drunk. Does
that make you a beautiful person? Yes,
yes it does.
better...as far as alternate
personalities go...well they usually
do...but yeah i finally got to meet the
mystery that is ben...and he is quite
cool...3 ou of 4 of MY alternate
personalities agree...except for
habierto that is(he also is a
bitch)....josh
an oven over his face, i will rampage
on his ass!!! but seriously, this
polish hunka love is my new special
friend. the capricorn rising hasnt
ruined him completely. :)
WON'T HE SHUT HIS GODDAMNED PIE HOLE!!!!
Are we dreaming
Are we dancing again
Is it heaven
Crack it open
and we'll slide down
its stream
