 		[UPDATE] Myspace Bulletin from Happy
Happy sent a bulletin! She thinks she saw Higgs...

Quote:

From: Happy
Date: Jun 7, 2007 12:42 PM
Subject This is going to sound crazy...
Body: On my way home from the hospital I think I saw Higgs going through the dumpster in the alleyway near Pavillion's parking lot. By the time I turned my car around he was gone. Then I drove by his apartment, which is just around the corner from Pavillions, and there was no sign of him. Has anyone heard from him?

 		Dumpster diving?????

I'm not sure if this makes me feel better (that she saw him) or worse (that she *thinks* she saw him at the food dumpster). If you are not familiar, Pavilions is a grocery store chain in Southern California (the one at 9th & Montana used to be Safeway when I lived there). Since Higg's favorite watering hole is at 11th & Montana, that makes sense he lives near to my old apartment (which was at 725 - 9th street). Okay, that would be a little creepy, if he lived in or next to, my old apartment building.

I kept telling him to come visit me in Las Vegas. Cool

We have a spare bedroom. I would be happy to provide a roof & food. And hubby has said he wouldn't mind the houseguest. Razz

 		I haven't answered her yet because I can't reply through myspace at work.

Wasn't Higgs trying to find another job? You don't think he was evicted or anything like that? Surely he would have let his friends know if something like that happened. :/

[Edit] OMG, look at Higgs's Myspace page!!! Shocked

THE ONLY QUESTION YOU SHOULD BE ASKING IS,
"WHEN WILL HE COME FOR ME?"

 		Two quick observations.

All the videos on misteralanjohnson's myspace can be found by a google video search. The first six, by using amanda creep, the remaining five are the first five hits for a search of Amanda. And they appear in these searches in the same order as on AJ's page.

On Higg's myspace, the picture of the hands that kona has posted above is titled ATYOURWINDOW, and the lyrics of the song have HELP written twice in the lyric but not sung. There are some other minor differences between what is written and sung, but I haven't had a chance to compare them more closely tonight.

 		Oooh, good idea to compare the lyrics.
On his MySpace wrote:
OH, WHAT A NOBLE, DISTINGUISHED COLLECTION
OF FINE LITTLE FRIENDS YOU HAVE MADE
HITTING THE TABLES WITHOUT YOU AGAIN
NO, WE'LL WAIT, NO, WE PROMISE WE'LL WAIT
WELL JUNE MAKES THESE EXCELLENT SEWING MACHINES
OUT OF COMMON INDUSTRIAL WASTE
SHE SPENDS A FEW MONTHS AT A TIME ON THE COUCH
BUT SHE'S SAFE, SHE WEARS SHADES, SHE WEARS SHADES
AH BUT NO ONE CAN STARE AT THE WALL HELP AS GOOD AS YOU, MY BABYDOLL
AND YOU'RE ACES FOR COMING ALONG
YOU'RE ALMOST HUMAN AFTER ALL
AND YOU'RE LEARNING THAT JUST CAUSE THEY CALL THEMSELVES FRIENDS
DOESN'T MEAN THEY'LL CALL
THEY MADE THE COMMENT IN JEST
BUT YOU'VE GOT THE NEEDLE
I GUESS THAT'S THE POINT OF IT ALL

MAYBE A WEEK IN THE TROPICS WOULD HELP
TO REMIND YOU HOW NICE LIFE CAN BE
WE PROPPED YOU RIGHT UP IN A CHAIR ON THE DECK
WITH A BEAUTIFUL VIEW OF THE SEA BUT
A COUPLE WEEKS LATER WE CAME BACK
AND YOU AND THE CHAIR WERE NOWHERE TO BE SEEN
YOU HAD MAGICALLY MOVED TO THE CLOSET
EYES FIXED TO THE PLACE WHERE THE DRYER HAD BEEN
AH BUT, NO ONE CAN STARE AT THE WALL AS GOOD AS YOU, MY BABYDOLL
AND YOU'RE ACES FOR PLAYING ALONG (COMING ALONG)
YOU'RE ALMOST HUMAN AFTER ALL
WHY ON EARTH WOULD I KEEP YOU PROPPED UP IN HERE
WHEN YOU SO LOVE THE FALL?
THE PATTERN'S LAID OUT ON THE BED
WITH DOZENS OF COLOURS OF THREAD
BUT YOU'VE GOT THE NEEDLE
I GUESS THAT'S THE POINT IN THE END

IT'S BETTER TO WASTE YOUR DAY WATCHING THE SCENERY HELP CHANGE AT A COMATOSE RATE
THAN TO PUT HELP YOURSELF IN IT AND TURN INTO ONE OF THOSE CIGARETTE ADS THAT YOU HATE
BUT WHILE YOU WERE SLEEPING SOME MEN CAME AROUND
SAID THEY HAD SOME DIMENSIONS TO TAKE
I'M NOT SURE WHAT THEY WERE TALKING ABOUT
BUT THEY SURE MADE A MESS OF YOUR FACE
AH BUT STILL NO ONE CAN STARE AT THE WALL AS GOOD AS YOU, MY BABYDOLL
HELP AND YOU'RE ACES FOR PLAYING ALONG
YOU'RE ALMOST HUMAN, EVEN NOW
AND JUST CAUSE THEY SAY CALL THEMSELVES EXPERTS DOESN'T MEAN SWEET FUCK ALL (that they're)
THEY'VE GOT HELP THE PERMANENT PRESS
AND HOMES WITH A STABLE ADDRESS
AND THEY'VE GOT EXCITEMENT
AND LIFE BY THE FISTFUL
BUT YOU'VE GOT THE NEEDLE
I GUESS THAT'S THE POINT OF IT ALL

The real lyrics wrote:
Oh, what a noble, distinguished collection
Of fine little friends you have made
Hitting the tables without you again
No, we'll wait, no, we promise we'll wait
And June makes these excellent sewing machines
Out of carmen industrial waste
She spends a few months at a time on the couch
But she's safe, she wears shades, she wears shades
But no one can stare at the wall as good as you, my babydoll
And you're aces for playing along
You're almost human after all
And you're learning that just cause they call themselves friends
Doesn't mean they'll call
They made the comment in jest
But you've got the needle
I guess that's the point of it all

Maybe a week in the tropics will help
To remind you how nice life can be
We propped you right up in a chair on the deck
With a beautiful view of the sea
A couple days later we came back
And you and the chair were nowhere to be seen
You had magically moved to the closet
Eyes fixed to the spot where the dryer had been
Oh yes, no one can stare at the wall as good as you, my babydoll
And you're aces for coming along
You're almost human after all
Why on earth would I keep you propped up in here
When you so love the fall?
The pattern's laid out on the bed
With dozens of colours of thread
But you've got the needle
I guess that's the point in the end

It's better to waste your day watching the scenery change at a comatose rate
Than to put yourself in it and turn into one of those cigarette ads that you hate
But while you were sleeping some men came around
Said they had some dimensions to take
I'm not sure what they were talking about
But they sure made a mess of your face
But still no one can stare at the wall as good as you, my babydoll
And you're aces for coming along
You're almost human, even now
And just cause they say that they're experts doesn't mean sweet fuck all
They've got the permanent press
And homes with a stable address
And they've got excitement
And life by the fistful
But you've got the needle
I guess that's the point of it all

I found those two HELPS. The other differences could be just from different versions of the lyrics available.

Good catch drizjr. We tried looking around blogspot for ATMYWINDOW but that didn't get us anywhere. However, you are the blogspot expert, maybe you'll have better luck.
