Me and Jay just went running.... its been so long since I exercised voluntarily... I walk probably a mile at work a day, but I don't run often... so now I will be getting back into shape a tad better... time for a shower!
Sep 11, 200723:20
I have have a bad habit of driving and doing other things, like taking pictures. but I got new sunglasses! And here are some pictures of boats by the bay yesterday.

murder
Someone I used to work with was murdered, she was shot, and the main suspect is her husband... I think this is the first person I knew for an extended period of time who was murdered, weird.
I talked to my best friend today, she sounded so tired, but she woke up to call me so I just talked to her while she almost fell asleep. Amber is more like my sister, and less like a friend since we sometimes go months without directly talking to each other, but we went through junior high and high school and ever some college together so we have a closer relationship than most people.
Here are some pictures that Jay shot of me recently that are outtakes from a GG set...
Aug 29, 200700:35
Some shots for bmeshop.com (go buy this shirt!! I can't take it off since Ryan sent it!!)-
Aug 27, 200723:29
Woke up at 4am to get some shots with the sunrise light... managed to pull off one set of shots with Jay shooting before it go too light and too many people ended up at our location. Some creepy dude stopped to watch and I was pissed off in most the shots, but it looked pretty good anyways. Got three things shot this weekend with Jay. Hes quite good, different style than me, but very good. Shot some pics for BMEshop that need to be edited.. I went for different lighting than I normally shoot... Here are some shots from last year of NJ. The last one of Jay's parents was from this June in SD though.
Aug 23, 200720:23
Here is a video of me putting on makeup at my GG shoot.. the best part is how I did not use my makeup brush! (I opted for no makeup artist, I'd rather just do it myself most the time)

So I opened up three tabs on safari and I have two girls video blogs playing on the other two that I am not typing this entry on, and it now feels like they are both having a conversation with me at the same time in the backround, this is fairly amusing, you should try this.
I am going to get a haircut in about one 1/2 hour at the paul mitchell school, for my cheap, but risky (students I tell you!) haircut. I will pay the parking box since I don't want a 35$ ticket to go with my 10$ haircut.
My stomach has been giving me hell all week. I just paid 100$ for more blood tests to find out nothing. I think its mostly just my stress response... my friend at work recommended kundalini yoga for it... she probably right, excess energy that needs a proper place to go...
I should have two more days of editing left of this wedding and I will be finally done, I have felt locked in for 4 months doing wedding work for people. I don't think I could do this much work if it wasn't something I was genuinely interested in. I hope people who want to work for themselves realize this shit is even harder than a working for some dipshit since you have to be completely self motivated. I was lucky to have a father who was self employed my whole life (he FINALLY ended his business this year and now works for someone else with a salary instead of commission) and I understand what I'm getting into, so my advice for anyone who wants to be self employed, pick something you love.

what I have been working on...
Aug 15, 200701:37
I'm getting a haircut on thursday and getting my nails done on saturday. I have been working non stop the past two weeks on photos and this is my precious internet time right now. I have been super productive lately and getting my shit done. I'm seriously broke right now, I have 700$ worth of checks I mailed out and I have 793$ in my bank account for the next two weeks. I don't think 93$ is going to cut it. :( Please send me all your riches!
I should be going to bed since I'm really tired and I finished everything I had to do tonight and I really want sex but my bf is asleep and he is never horny at night like i am, instead he wants to hump in the morning when I'm still asleep and not even thinking about sex..... why are our sex drives so difffffffffffferent???? I'm going to bed sexually frustrated next a huge penis attached to a sleeping man.
Aug 11, 200701:37
My bf is really cute, and very charming, women like him a lot. But he looks like a shitty dude. I have this really sweet guy (he's way nicer than me, I'm sort of a bitch sometimes) who only looks like a shitty dude. Except sometimes he plays too many videogames and acts 24. But hes 24, with erections like a 24 year old, so I guess I can't complain dating younger guys.
Case in point: Today we went to Chili's and I told him the waitress was being sort of rude because she thought we wouldn't tip well because he's so tattooed, I was wearing a shirt that cover all my tattoos and I have really normal hair now, so I look pretty normal, and lo and behold, she ends up handing me the check, (he paid, btw) I found that sort of funny.
His parents sent us an engagement card, which I received in the mail today, it was really sweet, I'm glad both of our families really like our marriage choice. Its really, really hard if your parents don't like who you are dating, my parents hated my ex, but his parents liked me, (I'm sure they hate me out of loyalty now, but thats besides the point) but his sister sort of hated me, I tried to be her friend, but she was evil and I just couldn't be friends with her really, which kinda sucked, since it would have been nice to be friends with her.
I'm tired and rambling, I shot a DIY yesterday and i showed it to my bf and he thought it looked cool... I'm excited to edit it and send it in... I have a wedding I need to finish by the end of next week, I have a paid modeling shoot coming up and I won't have time to work on it over the weekend, so i need to get it done. Ya hear that erica, you need to get it done! Get it done! goodnight.

I'm a brunette!
I went back to natural... I'm sick of dying my hair, I've been doing it for 15 years.. I want my hair to be very long and natural (virgin) hair. I did a good job on the color, I used a filler+color to get it to match my regrowth, I remember a lot of the shit I learned in hair school, even though it was 6 years ago. I don't want to think about how much it would have cost me to go platinum and back to natural if I actually had to pay someone. I have probably saved as much $$ just going to hair school and not paying salons for the past 6 years. I used to pay 85$ for a hair cut at Toni and Guy... now I am lazy and just cut it myself or once every few months go to the paul mitchell hair school and pay 10$ for a really good haircut. And sometimes you pay 35$ for a parking ticket too.

I just get nauseous a lot and usually just dry heave and or throw up mucus (wtf???). I'm not bulimic (or secretive about it) I will tell you I need to go throw up and then I will feel fine. It's mostly due to anxiety or sometimes food does not agree.. like when I think eating a Costco hotdog is a good idea for lunch.

89. Where did you get the shirt you're wearing? From a shoot with cardboard robot.
94. Are you happy with where you are? Yes, and no. My life is very good, but I have more things I want for myself, career and finance wise.
95. Is cheating ever ok? Yes, sometimes you have to save your soul. The world is more than black or white and is crazy and fucked up and some situations are complex, or just you hate your partner.
96. Would you ever take someone back if they cheated on you? Haha, no. If you cheat, it means its over, for me. But some people after being married a long time choose to forgive, I think the situations are quite different.
97. Do you know some one named billy? I had a bf named Billy.
99. Do want someone you can't have? Nope. :)
100. What makes you smile the most? The guy next to me.

Today we went to Crystal Cove and damn has it changed since I was a kid, granted we went during high tide, but it just seems like there were more animals when I was younger.
Jay had never seen sand crabs before, you can find them by the thousands on the shore where they waves break on California beachs during the summers. My mom taught me how to dig for them when I was a kid in Huntington Beach.
Jay standing on the shore
Digging for sand crabs.
This thing has the cutest eyestalks!
Jul 26, 200720:25
I think there are two people in this world who truly and deeply hate me, and would find nothing more satisfying than to spit on my grave. They hate for me for leaving, for ending it what sort of sick relationship it really was. What some people do is unforgivable. Everything he did, was meant to make me stronger, I understand that, I hope he does too. Everything she did, was in hopes of making herself stronger, I wonder if it worked? I guess she should ask herself.

harry potter and the ring
So I spent the weekend shielding myself from the interweb and finished Harry Potter. I had 300 page from the 6th book to finish on saturday and then I finished the Deathly Hallows on monday night. Oh yeah, and ps. I'm engaged!
Jul 25, 200700:42
From a while back....
Jul 18, 200722:06
you are not clever
So all customers think they are being clever and witty when they repeat to the same sentence I've heard for 3 years. One of my personal favorites is "Are you the expert? hahaha" Which is usually used by the older, or dimmer crowd when trying to get us, the employees, to give them as much info as we have. You are at a a retail store, that happens to sell electronics, why do people even use that line? Basically its a set up to waste my time since you aren't going to buy it anyways. So today this man in his early 40's so so starts out the conversation by jokingly asking if I "was the expert", so of course I answer "Oh yes, thats me." in his same perky tone of voice. he smiles then tells me he all ready bought a JVC harddrive camcorder, but he doesn't know how to work it (read the instructions dipshit?), so he asks me how to transfer the movies to the computer, I explain the usb and the software and then he asks how to get the flash to work on the camera, and I tell him I don't know, because I really just want him to go away at this point, because hes sort of demanding and stupid and he says "well, you told me you were the expert." and I say to him "well, I lied." deadpan. He's almost embarrassed and tries to laugh it off at this point, I mean, he certainly didn't expect me to tell him the truth, but if you have such a stupid question, expect an equally good response. He then tried to show me the "flash" on the camcorder, which I pointed out was a spotlight, not a strobe. I would think its common knowledge that consumer camcorders do not have flashes, but maybe I'm just around the products everyday....? I was nice to him, but I wonder if'll he'll try that line again on a salesperson...

a video diary
Jul 2, 200722:49
One of my friend's son from today... he's 2 with mild down syndrome. The center of his chest is scar from open heart surgery he had when he was born... his mother is a drug addict, my friend is the adopted mother of him and now is fostering and hoping to adopt his half brother who I also photographed who is 5 weeks old and suffering from drug withdrawl problems. Hes a really sweet kid and photographs well.
Jun 30, 200701:22
I need to get a photoblog.. anyways, heres a few from Christie and Daves wedding.. they are such an adorable couple... I've known Dave since we were 13, and Christie since I was 15, its really amazing to photograph the wedding of people I hung out in high school and junior high with... Same goes for much of the bridal party... wow, I feel really lucky in this day and age to still feel like I've grown up with all these people. :)
Jun 28, 200721:24
My sister says to me shes glad shes "normal" even if it means being a bit "dumber". Some people don't know how lucky they really are. If want to know why Siddhartha is a classic, I can point to one simple quote -
"Perhaps people like us cannot love. Ordinary people can - that is their secret."
Jun 26, 200708:28
more...
This one is my fave from shooting sunday, I did all 5 of them like this.. but his turned out best.

From a few months ago, but I decided to edit it today -
Jun 18, 200723:26
Its my 27th birthday today and I started out by the doorbell ringing at 8:30am, with flowers from my mom.... and then it was going to the DMV to renew my license which was expiring today, and it turns out I had to take a written test since the DMV hates me because I am a bad driver. It was easy, and got a new picture and convinced them that I don't need glasses to drive (ha!) and now I will have my san diego address on my license instead of some bfe town in riverside. We then went to Knotts Berry Farm and it was fun, but really busy until 5pm when all the billions of 12 year olds went home. They were all there on a trip so it was as busy as a saturday basically. We ate funnel cake, and the dude behind the counter was fucking rude and slow and gave me coffee with no creamer and I told him i can't drink coffee without creamer, and then gave Jay $5 back. We were confused, but hell, whatever dude, thanks for the 5. Roller coasters are scary because I am getting old. Either way, it was a nice birthday.
Jay says we look like a band here, I'm the lead singer, and hes the drummer.
That thing was scary. But the veiw was really neat.
We waited in line for this coaster, but I got pissed and left after 45 minutes since we got in a slow line on accident. So I got bored and took picures.
I have some pictures I took next to this fountain 14 years ago, I wanted to photograph it again.
The blacksmith...
Knotts is stocked with real life old people, to go with the frontier theme, see the geode man to the left.
Look at that kid behind me! Where do they sell those shirts!?
Hes so cute!
Jun 17, 200723:25
Some wedding photography from the wedding I shot a month ago -
Jun 17, 200722:34
According to my IAM page, its my birthday! I'm 27 in an hour and half by my count here on the west coast. I'm so close to 30, its weird. My family came to see me, and my sister was pissing me off till I basically told her to knock it off and she acted nice the rest of the night. I'm really tired from shooting that wedding yesterday.
Jun 14, 200719:22
I think I'm left handed?
So, I decided to test out my suspicion that I might actually a repressed leftie (haha, what the hell is that anyways?) by trying to draw a picture seriously with my left hand. My handwriting isn't much worse with my left hand than it is with my right, and I hold a pencil in my right hand like I was holding a knife, and my handwriting is kinda bad. I hold a pencil correctly in my left, intuitively.. I wouldn't be thinking about this so much but a customer actually said shes never seen anyone hold a pencil the way I do. Being old does not give you the right to say whatever you are thinking. But anyways, so I tried to draw a camara today at work, just to see how it would turn out. It looks better than anything I've done with my right hand, WTF? And then I drew the kid from a picture I took. Yes, both are pretty shitty, but it was with my LEFT HAND, my first drawing with my left hand, and I'm a right hander, or so I thought? I shoot photos with my left eye, and I tend to favor my left hand for gross motor, but my right for really fine motor control. My right hand seems to be my deliberate hand, while my left is my more intuitive hand, Like, I will grab a door handle with my left, but I will insert a key with my right, if that makes any sense. I wonder if I tried to draw with both hands? Fill in the fine detail with the right and draw the basic shapes with my left...? I'll post something if I do. Anyways, here are some left handed drawings -
Jun 13, 200722:05
dramatic
Sometimes I really hate my family. My sister calls to ask me if her friends pictures are done. She then guilt trips me because they aren't done yet, I remind her I am doing this for free. She then tells me she is going to pay me, I don't care since I don't have a check in my hand. Christie has paid me, her work is priority. Sorry. I then ask if she can visit me for my birthday, and she doesn't want to drive to see me, but I'm welcome to come and drive to visit her to orange county, for my birthday. Wow, thanks. I told her I feel like I always get screwed on my birthday (I do, my ex husband even cheated on me one year, WTF???) and it would be nice to do something I want, which isn't driving to orange county. She then trys to tell me I'm guilt tripping her, and thats not right. I then explained to her its what she just did to me 2 minutes ago and it is the only way to get through to her and make her understand since thats how she always acts. My sister doesn't deny anything but then trys to change the subject to and says she doesn't want to talk to me right now so I say "fine" and hang up as she is saying something midsentence. She trys to call me back and I won't pick up, but I text messaged her telling her I have to go to the DMV on my birthday this year, (see, screwed! my license expires on my birthday this year and I never got anything in the mail about renewing) but it would be nice if my family made me feel important by doing something I actually want on my birthday.
We just had a text fight and shes sort of retarded sometimes and loses the conversation because she gets lost in the conversation logically and stops making any logical sense after awhile and at that point I stop being mad and just laugh at her. I guess she agreed to visit me in San Diego, so now i don't hate my family as much as i did when i first started writing this post.
she just texted me - i cannot stand you sometimes
I said - I know. Thats why we are sisters.
Jun 12, 200720:31
Yeah! Cox got our check and we have internet again. Wow, it still sucks. The internet sucks. Its as bad or worse than cable TV, which is probably better since there are cartoons on TV, but streaming video has a way to go online yet.
Here is my burnt ass, like 5 minutes after I took off my suit. This was last wensday, it is now tuesday and my ass is still red and hurts a little. My back is peeling, my face peeled a little and I don't know what my legs are going to do yet.
I had no tan lines before. And now....
Jun 10, 200718:27
no internet
so we forgot to pay our cable bill so our cable and internet are turned off. I am in a hotel room with jays parents and jay right now. I am avoiding interaction with the sun because it is evil. His parents leave tomarrow... they are nice, but driving me crazy since they won't stop bickering.
[Dude, I wrote this on my phone!]

I am so burnt.
I am very sunburned right now. Yesterday it was finally sunny, so we all went to the beach, and I wore some sunscreen and some tanning oil, same with Jay. It was so windy when we showed up, there were tiny sand dunes all across the sand, towards the shore. We set up and I layed on my stomach mostly because it was warmer, the wind made it feel a lot colder than it really was. My legs really didn't feel anything other than warm until they started to hurt a little and I turned over, then I realized they must be a little burned because they started to tingle. After about 40 for minutes I decided I better go inside because I was started to feel a little burned. Jay had all ready gone inside, and was playing WoW when I came home to the beach house.
I showed him my butt and the look in his eyes was one of genuine worry, so I went upstairs and stripped off my suit, holy shit. I have never been so burned in my life. I'm pale like my dad, but my mom is really dark so I don't usually burn as easily as you'd think. Well, yesterday I looked like my sister (who is lighter than me) does when she gets burnt, I have photographic evidence which I will be posting when I get home. My ass and thighs hurt so bad, and the back of my knee on my left leg is a little swollen, it hurts to sit on a toilet. I took some aleve and have been slathering myself in Aloe since last night. I wonder if I will peel? I will have some awesome tan lines.
I slept most the rest of the day yesterday so I feel better than Jay who is also burnt, but not as bad as me. I'm amazed by how much sunburns feel like tattoos and vice versa. I don't know if my body is being tricked into releasing endorphins, but it sort of feels like that since it feels SO much like a tattoo, it's almost identical pain for me. Anyone else have the same response to sunburns and tattoos?
Jun 4, 200711:26
I'm on vacation, in a beach house in san diego with jay's parents. And it is going to be cold and cloudy all week. There goes my chance for a tan. :(
I'm going to Fry's to put myself more in debt. I was playing with my speedlight last night... I like it all ready.. I need to make Jay help me figure it out more since I am dumb with these things sometimes.
My mom is crazy and she is acting like a twenty year old. Something happens when women go through menopause, they do all the things they never did when they are young, except they are in their fifties and it isn't always cute.
I am so glad that I don't have to go back to work till the 12th, and then after they days of working I have 4 more days off... which are Jay's bday, Christies wedding (which we are shooting), fathers day, and then my birthday. And I'll be 27. Oh my gawd. How did I get so close to thirty?

Okay, so seriously, this photography shit is expensive. Trust me, I'm a firm believer is trying to do it the least amount of tools possible, but I still feel like I honestly need about 10K just to have a decent equiptment kit. There is still more shit I need to buy before I can edit my pictures correctly... (thats the reason I have been lagging.. I don't want to spend hours editing just to have them look wrong). Now people are giving me $$, so I better get this shit right.
I had to help this angry man today who was shorter than me. He was very passive agressive and I thought it was funny because I was taller and more passive aggressive, but I'm charming sometimes, and his wife liked me, and was sort of embarassed that he was so mean, but she was taller than me, and quite plump, but she had that sort of additude where she calls everyone "love" or "dear" and is happy to be round since she most likely just loves food and cooking for everyone. Most the married couples in my work are NT/NF matches, so the NT's are usually mean, but smart usually, and the NF's are nice, but kinda dumb sometimes. But sometimes the NT's are super polite and the NF's are crazy insane evil... but I see this couple arrangement quite often among older couples(40's plus), but younger couples )20's, 30's) tend to be more nt/nt or nf/nf. I know I break things down using myers briggs a lot, but it's just and easy way to put a name on a feeling I get from people when I encounter them.
I <3 iphoto.
Jay made me mexican waffles. As you can see they have a guitar, cactus, hat, ect. We are going to go and see pirates 3 tonight, and then go to the beauty bar for some silly event I signed myself up for. Pissibility of a cash prize for being silly and cute. I like cash prizes, I could use them right now. I just bought a sb-800 speedlite for my nikon... I hope it gets shipped soon.. off to shower.

I am working on wedding pictures from friday.. I had two dreams about wedding photos the last two nights.... geez.

pick a paragraph. no order required.
I hate you photoshop. So I was editing my DIY set for GG and I finished the final touching up and I started to batch the rest of the files and I was almost totally done, it was amazing. And then photoshop just CLOSED. When I reopened it, it had the old set I deleted, but not my new one. I hate you computer. You must always curse me! Even on a mac....
I need to buy more photography equipment. I feel very limited to get the sort of effects I want with what I own. This shit is expensive. My parents aren't poor anymore, I don't feel so guilty asking for money since I am officially in debt and I never really asked for money before.. my mother offered to give me $$ when I was in cosmetology school, but I didn't take it. I really had no passion for doing hair. Now I really need it if I want to ever quit my job and support myself with my photography. Dear mom, dear dad, please send a check.
I took a friend's adderall today as an experiment. I'm not sure if it helped me focus really, it made me feel like I could complete one task easily without distraction, but I never really felt "focused", it sort of felt like I had trouble multitasking on it more than it really helped my focus, but I didn't seem to care either way. It seemed to really cut down on that extra noise signal I get, like it filtered out the shit that I really didn't need to be paying attention too, but normally one part of my brain is preoccupied by the fact that you are tapping your leg while the other part is listening to your story about your boyfriend who I can tell you really resent, because of your tone of voice and subtle facial expressions. I felt that I could listen well to people, without wanting to interrupt, but not really connect emotionally as easily.
I think that "extra noise" signal is an important part of my overall functioning, even if it's distracting, I think it's part of what makes me view the world the way I do. I don't really think I'm all that much smarter than the average person, a little bit maybe, but overall, thats not why I'm the way I am, its more than fact that everything I experience, "goes to 11". BME is full of the same sort of people, which is why it's awesome. I don't think we really ought to drug this out of us... just makes me think a whole generation of kids who were put on these drugs were robbed of what they were really supposed to experience... my parents used the cheap method to control us, they would spank us if we misbehaved, no need for pills. Dear parents of bad misbaving children, stop drugging them, just ask and I will smack your little beastlings for you, tips are appreciated.

I got my business cards back from the printer yesterday, they look great except the color is totally the wrong shade, they have an orange tint to them and the original I gave them was almost purple.. purple, orange, opposites on the color spectrum, I was PISSED. The guy tried to give me some bullshit excuses, blaming the placed he outsourced them to, till I just got more pissed and told him it was nobody elses fault but his, and that my cards are the wrong color and its is HIS business, he is responsible for my cards being the right color, plain and simple. He then offered to give me a refund or reprint and keep the 1000 I had or just give me 40$ cash back (I should have asked for more, but the cards really look good otherwise). I just took the 40$ after humiliating him in front of the other girl who worked there, that was good enough for me, so I took my cards and left.
May 10, 200720:19
So I totally did NOT get edited out of the new Marilyn Manson video. I'm not a huge fan of the band but it was super awesome to be in the video and to meet Manson, I got nervous and shook his hand quickly and then ran away because I am a giant dork. I'm on the right hand side behind Evan, the girl in "heart shaped glasses".. I saw myself in about 4 scenes, which of course were only like 1/2 second blips, but I'm still totally stoked. Go look, its a good video regardless, better than most they shit they call music videos these days.
ps- this whole post proves I'm really getting old.
May 7, 200723:16
Me and Jay went to the aquarium at Scripps today.. I adore my new camera bag.. I should have business cards by the end of the week. I ordered them on thursday.. they said it shoudl take about 5 business days.. they send the orders to hong kong, they print them there and send them back. Cuttlefish are cute.. they seem to be attracted by my camera's light, they swam up the front.. I saw baby seahorses too, they were cute.
May 6, 200722:35
I'm sad.
so I just found out my best friends mom died last saturday... she was only 42 (she had my best friend at 15) and died suddenly of asthma related complications. I feel so terrible for her, she's had to deal with way more shit in her life than people should have to in several life times.

photographers are haters
Retail customers are always retarded. Our store is extra special because its full of tech geeks, who are amazingly idiotic for having higher educations. I'm selling camera's only right now, in a booth, and I have to answer stupid questions all day long about only camera's. I love the people who come in to argue with you, my friend Tony warned me about this the first week i worked in my department, 3 years later, I've now perfected the art of pissing off rude customers without getting myself in trouble. I even double team them with my other coworkers, we just all agree with each other and it makes them nuts, its pretty amusing when two of us are laughing at one dumb customer.
My favorite people who use cameras (I refuse to call them photographers) are the tech nerds who memorize everything there is to know about the cameras features, except how to use them to take photographs, its amazing. Show me a portfolio that impresses me, don't make excuses on why your lens wasn't sharp enough (here is a tip: try adjusting your shutter speed to match your lighting asshats).
let me translate-
"I'm a photographer."
really means: I own a canon 20D and lot of useless equipment that I don't really know how to work.
So I ask these photographers, "what do you shoot?"
And they reply "Oh everything..."
really means: I don't shoot anything, I just play with camera's because my wife won't let me play with GI Joes.
They tend to quiet down a bit once I grill them about their photography "careers".. but its funny to watch them try and use the "But I'm a photographer" as attempt to validate their opinions about "whats better". I even had a guy try and tell me a 1000$ HD camcorder could take better still shots than a Canon Rebel, because it was "high definition" hahhahahaha, he then tried to convince that they shot ALL the stills from that planet earth show with HD cameras, I just said "how do you really know that?" and then tried to make up a story about how he saw it on the video, I said "I doubt that, and even if it were true, they would be using professional cameras" "yeah i guess your right..." and he leaves finally.
ps- lip mole was back AGAIN today.. wtf?
May 1, 200716:16
spikey.
So today I get to start doing our camera roadshow... enter creeps and geeks. Some people have no interest in buying anything.. they are old and gross and just want to talk to a pretty girl. ugh. I don't have the time or patience... but I manage to be nice somehow. I had to avoid the mole lip guy allready, all I could stare at was his scary lip mole till I excused myself to run to the bathroom. Why don't humans come equipped with spikey defense systems? I wanna be like that chick in the elevator, in that sci fi channel commercial.... scientists need to engineer that shit.

So the Marilyn Manson song that I did the video for has finally been posted to the bands myspace... its the song called "Heart Shaped Glasses".. I must have heard it like 50 times that night it seems. I was never fan of the band as much as I just liked the driving force behind the band. I wonder if I'll end up in the video at all? Anyways.. its a pretty decent song.
I had one of those days on Friday where I hated every photo I ever took and then, I went to artwalk in little italy on Saturday and saw the other crap that people were trying to pawn off as art and I felt a little better about myself. Of course there were plenty of people who were WAY, WAY freaking better than me, and they were inspiring.
I finally decided on a photo and a look for my business cards I want to print. The place near my house I checked out has the type of cards I want, but I don't know how much they'll cost. I have a certain idea which might be sort of costly, but I'm willing to spend some extra $$ to get really good decent cards, because shitty business cards are the worst, it makes me think everything you do sucks.
Most days I feel productive, but I think I need to focus more on whats really important in my life, being so spread apart makes me feel like I'm never getting enough done.
Apr 28, 200710:43
So I should be at Coachchella having fun with everyone, but this whole week I’ve had bad anxiety, and on Thursday when I drove up to the resort I got lost in Borrego Springs, which a tiny desert town (pop 2000 or something on the sign) with a lack of street lights, and then couldn’t get a hold of anyone, which made my anxiety horrible. I’m not really a big fan of being far from home, or driving an unfamiliar route unless I’m traveling with someone. In the past two years it’s really been my stomach that takes it, I have horrible stomach problems instead of being an emotional wreck. And if it’s not my stomach, I get ridiculously tense shoulders, and neck pain, I hate my physical response to stress sometimes. But this weekend, instead I became an emotional wreck where I feel like I’m going to have an anxiety attack (ironically, I never do, I just get the point where I’m about to, but then I cry or throw up, or have stomach cramps instead).
I’ve been sick going on three fucking weeks now with a cough/sore throat thing that just doesn’t want to go away. I didn’t have the energy to deal with everything that goes on inside my head this weekend, I tried, I drove about 400 miles in the last two days, but I think that was the last of my energy.
Its days like this that I don’t want to deal with my emotions at all because they hardly make any sense to me (I have a uterus, that’s my explanation). The only (healthy) outlet I’ve been able to find for my emotions is art, but even then sometimes they can be too overwhelming and I’m stuck, paralyzed and unable to do anything. My friend describes it like an “elephant sitting on her chest” which is a fairly good description for how I feel sometimes.

The reflection looks like stars in a galaxy to me, I took this a few weeks ago, this is just a girl I used to work with -
I had sex on my couch tonight, it was a quickie from behind, and it was really, really good.

Two new pictures.. outtakes from a DIY set for GG.... Jay shot them and I edited them...

My life is really weird. I get the really good and the really bad all in one day.
Today I saw one of the worst car accidents I've ever seen, it happened about 1/4 mile down the road from me on my way to work. I saw a huge dust cloud explode from the side of the road, like there was a rock slide or something, and as I drove up I saw all this dirt and rocks from the hill all over the road, which I thought was kinda odd, and one car on the side of the road, but it didn't look like it was in an accident, as I drove a little further, going about 15 miles an hour I saw the car that was in the accident, it was flipped completely over, facing the wrong way in traffic, the fenders were wrecked on both sides, the the engine and the trunk were crumpled and the car was straining under the weight, and the side windows were being crushed. I have no idea if the driver was alive, it really didn't look likely, a few people had pulled over and were looking inside the car, remember, this JUST happened about 2-3 minutes before I saw the vehicle.
The weird thing was, after it happened I put it out of my mind, and ALMOST forgot about it. Like it was something trivial. Then, I almost forgot about it again a few hours later, like it was a dream I had and couldn't quite remember. (what sort of horrible repressed memories do i have? hahhaha) So I made a point to remember it. I was sort of upset all day, that and I'm bleeding to death thanks to iron supplements and my period. And I couldn't really figure out why, until I realized how powerless and helpless I feel sometimes when I thought about that person in the car, I just felt really bad that I just had to drive on by to work, not being able to help them or know if they are dead or alive. My own death doesn't scare me, but watching people die in front of me and I can't save them or do anything to help them, it just kills me. And its raining, I only like rain in August or in Hawaii, or if I have a fireplace.
On the other hand, I got invited to go to Coachella and stay in a hotel room with a bunch of the godsgirls next weekend. Did I mention Coachella was sold out months ago when I wanted a ticket and I was really sad I couldn't go. This is going to be amazing, from thursday night until sunday.
Strangeland is playing on IFC right now, Jay said he likes that movie sort of, its on his watchable list, I told him its on my laughable list. Ugh, me and Wes hated that movie together, passionately, sometimes we agreed on things. I'm just glad me and Jay agree on the important things.
Apr 18, 200702:27
More photos I shot a few weeks back -
Apr 16, 200711:26
Some girl from my work is coming over and I am cutting her hair. See, I cut hair too... once in a while I will cut hair and someone will throw me a few bones for that. I seem to be one of those people who isn't really amazing at one specific thing, but is good at a lot of different things. I suppose this translates into my photography fairly well, since I try an incorporate it into that, but I still really feel like I'm just learning how to use the camera. I think I'd like to get back into writing again too, I have all sorts of ideas i want to put down onto paper, but I just never feel like there are enough hours in the day, and I'm one of those people who likes to sleep at least 7 hours a day. I need a robot clone... I basically need to feel good enough physically to accomplish more of what I'm interested in doing. I work 40 hours a week, and that takes its toll, but its more of a time sucker, I've been there so long its pretty easy work, it's just dealing with customers, which will always suck. I need to finalize an image I want for my photo business cards, I'm going to move into wedding work, but I still do portraits, and its hard to find an image that represents my style without isolating only certain elements... I don't know my target market dammiiiiiit. I've been sitting on the fence for a year about this, just doing more work, figuring myself out... I think I need more time.
I am still sick. Its kinda worse today, I came home from work and took a nap for 5 hours, so now its 12am, but I'm tired again because this thing sucks, but I am hungry still. And jay is watching a cooking show which always makes me hungry even if the food is gross. We ought to get thai food tomorrow.
They are eating stomach which is gross, but yet, I am still more hungry. My father got a new job so I am really excited for him, I don't have to worry so much about him now.
I'm sick with that cold thing thats going around, I think I got it from someone at work with it, like everyone in my department, then I gave it to my bf, and it mutated and he gave it back to me and I'm coughing, but I always cough (and have like ripped stomach muscles under a layer fat haha) so its just worse and now its green, I hope I get better otherwise I will end up with bronchitis like I do at least once a year, (but I hardly ever get the flu)
So, now I have platinum blonde hair.. me and Jay started doing highlights, but the ones we did bled, so I said fuck it, and we decided to throw bleach over the whole thing, i already had highlights, which mostly turned white, and some of the darker parts stayed a light blonde, and the bottom, which was brown, turned dark blonde. I went and got it cut, and I got a goddam parking ticket, so my 10$ paul mitchell school haircut turned into a 50$ haircut because the girl was awesome so I gave her a 10$ tip, and the ticket was 30$. But she was cool, and we talked about doing an exchange, she'd do hair and makeup, and I'd take pictures for her and my portfolios. New pictures...

My stomach is making the weirdest noises, its been doing it for almost 24 hours, wthell? I think I finally decided on which GPS I want to get. Anyone who knows me, knows how easily I get lost, and if anyone really needs a GPS its me. But I don't know if its mac compatable yet, but this one at my work is rated pretty high by cnet, and its in my price range. I get a bonus next week, Which is nice, because I really could use some extra $$. My bf and I can't think of anything to do since we are both broke and we already went to the beach last week, and its sunday so everything is closed. I should record the noise my stomach is making and put it on CD, it's THAT loud.
Mar 28, 200723:59
My bf is a good photographer, I want him to be my assistant for shoots, we work well together, I was his model this time.... We went to the beach yesterday, it was freezing and he shot these pictures of me...heres a few -

I was Marilyn Mansons video ho.
I've been too lazy to write about all the shit that happens everyday. I just let it sit inside my head and I think about all the amazing memories I got saved up. One day I’ll write all this out… Last week I went to LA to do the Marilyn Manson video with some of the other girls. I had a lot of fun even though it was spent mostly waiting to shoot. A bunch of the girls there tried to play the “too cool” game which makes me kinda laugh, one girl says “I wouldn’t be here if I didn’t have to pay my rent.” Well, ya think? In the real world, adults have to pay rent or mortgages because they don’t live at home anymore and mommy and daddy stopped paying the bills. Right, like I would walk into work everyday and be like “You know, I wouldn’t be here if I didn’t have to pay my rent.” And everyone would look at me and say “No shit, me too.” The same girl was offered a sandwich by the crew and turns to him and says “I don’t really like food.” No, because you like meth instead. I got to meet Manson when I came outta the bathroom, (I’m not cool, and I don’t know 8 billion rockstars) and I walked up and said hi and shook his hand (he had a good handshake), he was kinda shy and quiet actually.
When we finally started shooting, the director was tired, and kept telling us to shut up, and at one point was like “For the love of God, will you please be quiet?!?” Manson answered “Nobody loves God.” Manson’s gf, Evan Rachel Wood (she was in that movie, 13 abou preteen sluts) was the lead in the video.. she looked good in this prim and proper dress while we looked like we “hadn’t washed our pussy’s in two weeks.” We finally finished at 4:30am, just like those making of the videos. Serious.
The next day it was my best friends birthday in Temecula… and she was emotionally draining to say the least. She said nothing meaningful ever happens in her day to day experiences, I told her that was bullshit and that it happens all day long and she doesn’t pay attention or appreciate those moments. She reluctantly agreed.
Mar 26, 200700:33
My new pet... and recent pictures of me.. I took these yesterday.
Mar 22, 200721:14
spring = babies?
I was just lurking this chick I used to live with's page and allright, explain, I keep hearing about people I know that are preggers or got someone preggers (and they are all keeping it). I can't think of these people as parents, I barely think of them as adults. Seriously, what's the deal? Doesn't anyone use birth control these days? Anyone still believe in abortions or at least waiting till your 25 and you have a real job to start having kids? I'm starting to think babies are cute and all that shit, but I do NOT want to grow one of those things in my womb anytime in the next say, 5 years, at LEAST. So if I get pregnant, feel free to push me down the stairs or something equally abortion-inducing, I couldn't imagine myself raising anything more than a puppy, for christ sakes, a betta fish would probably be a better choice for me.
Mar 21, 200722:58
on top for awhile... new philosophy forum.
**See the entries below for my actual diary...**
So I made a forum for people to bullshit philosophy in.. I hope you all go check it out and post your crazy theories, because oh yes, I know you have them and are just waiting to ramble on like this entry.. go ahead.. check it out, and if you like it, feel free to make your own button for it too if you think mine sucks..

So I went to the GG house on Monday after picking up Shannon at the airport. I got to make a bunch of loops around LAX before she was ready, that was fasinating. Note to self: the southwest gate is #2, right up front. Went went to the GG house, and met Julene there, and Annaliese was there, with Taco. Her roomate Erin was there, and her roomates bf, whos name I don't remember, he was very nice, and personable. Farhaad came over and me and Julene and Shannon all went to Jack in the box, where I tried to convince Julene that eggrolls might be safe... meat free that is. I just watched in quiet disbelief/amusement as Julene asks the chick behind the counter "Are they veggie eggrolls?" "yes, they are veggie eggrolls... with pork." ahahaahhaha, with pork? WTF? I just laughed my ass off, internally, and then went to go fill up my soda. Farhaad sat next to me and drank a oreo shake and right now I fucking want a shake, someone please buy me a shake, okay? Farhaad then lectured me on my collection of burned CD's, hehe. My dad does that.. We then came back and I shot Julene outside by the wall of the house, and then I shot Shannon (I still have to work on some of those yet.. ). And then Shannon and Julene left and Annaliese was my model. I printed out some of Annaliese and Julene today at work, and everyone kept complimenting Julene's lighting and how pretty Annaliese was, my manager called her hot.. hahhaha.
I also finally met Chelsea and Robbin, omgoodness, Chelsea is like my dream girl in person, petite, nice skin, pretty eyes, articulate, and giant boobs. And she had short hair and glasses, which makes me think, "hmmm.. smart?" Robbin was nice and well mannered, and tried to shake my hand when my hands were full of photo equiptment and I was looking for the super secret door, which I could find the outside, but not the inside because I could get lost in a four bedroom house, I'm THAT bad. So here are some of Annaliese if you didn't see them in the forum, and here are some of Julene, I think I like th color better than the black and white.. but both are good.

I shot these of Julene of godsgirls, think I like the b&w better.. its hard to decide..
Mar 12, 200715:19
So I'm gonna go pick up Shannon at the airport... I hate LA, but I love Shannon, so I will battle the traffic monsters to rescue her from LAX and bring her to the magical GG house in the clouds. It will go something like that. Then I will take beautiful pictures of amazing women. And all will be well. The end.
Mar 7, 200721:37
Yeah, so like the credit card company calls me looking for $$ and of course, my phone cuts out right after I told them I don't have shit for them. I actually do, but I have like 8 billion other bills.. I just had to pay 330$ for my old studio.. the deposit didn't cover the mess I guess. Fuckers. Um, so yeah, I need God to please send me a check for 8 million $$. Or um, I could get off my ass and attempt to sell my photography skills... I think I will probably have to go with plan B.
I saw this today -
This guy is pretty amazing... BUT hes still got a social deficiancy that he mentions quite a bit, and 60 minutes seems to downplay for the story. Hes diagnosed as asperger's syndrome, which is a mild form of autism. Pay attention to "289 is an ugly number". He's using synesthesia to visualize, and using the abilities of autism (systemizing + memory). I started noticing this trend after dating someone diagnosed with aspergers, for three years, who was also a great artist. Autistic/asperger's use synesthesia to make associations, its how they memorize, its random and chaotic and visual and fucking colorful, and synesthetes use the systemizing and memory to put the visuals in perspective. So, from what I can tell, some how these two conditions are linked, and most people who have one, have a bit of the other... which means, as a synesthete, I might also be a tiny bit autistic, (explains my brain a lot) just as the asperger kids have a bit of synesthesia, you know, to keep a balance.

My doggy died.... she was about 13 years old and in decent shape, but something happened and her stomach became twisted and she went into shock and had to be put down... the poor thing. We had her since I was 14... and shes been at my sisters house half her life, but she was always MY crazy dog, we also had a sister of hers too who died about two years ago... at least she didn't suffer very long...

the world has gone awry!
So Johnny Marr joins Modest Mouse, and I heard their new song and it totally sucks. Now I have to downgrade Modest Mouse to one of my old favorite bands and now go look for a new favorite band. Now taking applications for a new fave band?

Hey look! I was blogged twice on altporn.net!! I was reading the sg vs. lp article, and searched myself to see if I'd come up, and suprisingly, I did... Cool! This is like redemption for all those times I got teased for having no boobs in high school. Serious.
hi. I am extra horny lately, I have wayyyyy too much pent up sexual energy. My bf needs to come home uum, soon. I was supposed to photograph Dayna, but I haven't heard from her since sunday, so now I'm sitting at home instead. I'm hungry, tired and horny, I think I may go smoke a bowl, masturbate and think about cute, metal boys.

$$$
So today I photographed some friends from HS, but I didn't make it to LA, we are gonna do it wensday night.... my pictures I took today turned out awesome, I need to buy a CS2 upgrade for my photoshop, because I shot them in raw, and photoshop 7.0 does not support camera raw. I was also paid for the wedding I will be photographing in June, which is really exciting... I also think I will try and buy a portable harddrive casing for my old hard drive and I can use it as a back up, and hopefully get all my pictures from NY off it. I have enough $$ to pay off my bills, which is good...
so heres a picture of the girl who told me I was really hot in a sexy voice on the phone today, shes the one I'm photographing... um seriously... how'd I get so lucky?
Feb 24, 200723:59
Apparently you are supposed to be out dong something on friday nights because every fucking financial website is down for repairs and I can't actually pay my bills when I'm in the mood and I have some $$. My old landlords sent me a bill for 300$, which my deposit didn't cover. gret, and my car registration is due, but I got my tax return and I will be getting a bonus in april from my job. I'm photographing an some old friends from high school and junior high tomorrow, then I'm going to be photographing a very beautiful girl that night up in la... then monday I will be going with Jay to get our shit out of storage. I've started reducing sugar from my diet because I think i have sugar intolerance along with gluten intolerance, or something, either way, my body seems to like an atkins sort diet with a lot of fruits and veggies and a lot of protein.
Feb 22, 200721:13
dear cute young girls,
I've noticed there are alot of really hot, younger-than-me girls here on IAM. Some of them are naked, unlike GG where ALL of them are naked. It would be nicer if more of you got naked, c'mon, I'm doing it, be fair!
ps- I'm a pervert, I think.
Feb 22, 200700:44
so I was looking at my back today, and actually looked at the curve of my spine, and I could see the scholosis in my spine, it leans to the right, its weird, I can see where its SUPPOSED to be, and where it is.. its definitely odd...
And I think i went through a sort of mental breakdown last year ala' -
http://www.tygersofwrath.com/psychosis.htm, I have no why of really explaining the personal details right now, but thats a pretty good overall description. I don't even have the same thinking process I that I had a year ago.
Feb 19, 200722:36
so I feel the need to constantly change my page... now I just put up my video of the creepiest church ever! And yes, I really sounds like that, an I wear glasses since I'm fucking blind.
There are a lot of new people (as in the past year or so) on BME... a lot of younger people... um, if you come to my page, and never say hi, say hi! I promise I won't bite.

sucking snake venom from a cell phone
So, I am a constant bumbling fool on a daily basis. If video cameras followed me around like a reality TV show, you would all surely be entertained by all the completely idiotic things I do, like today, I had to save my cell phone from certain death, and I had to eat a lot of expensive perfume lotion that even after smoking numerous cigarettes, still made my mouth taste like soap and chemicals. My boyfriend bought me the lotion to match my perfume, well this nice lotion has a shitty cap and it had the habit of popping off and getting a little lotion in my purse, well today it was a LOT of lotion. A nice oily pond at the bottom of my purse. I got out of work and opened my purse, to grab my keys, to find my phone in the pond, and the bottom connectors clogged with lotion. What the hell was I going to do?!? You know that point right before panic sets in, because you remembered you were too cheap to pay the 3$ a month for phone insurance, and you still have another year left on your contract, and you paid almost 300$ for this phone, goddamit if you were going to do it in on your own with stupid, expensive lotion, (not to mention that time I killed my first cell phone with Listerine, which I had in my purse after getting my tongue pierced, tongue piercings, WTF?? Who still gets those?!?!?).
So I decided to save the cell phone, the only way possible, by sucking the poison out. So here I am, desperately sucking lotion out of cell phone inputs, and spitting in onto the asphalt outside my car. The weird thing is, it actually got most the lotion out of the inputs. I think I may have saved its life. My mouth still tastes weird. But I’m not out 300$, and I should call sprint tomorrow and insure my phone and stop being such a cheap ass.

stupid movies
So I'm watching this movie on FX, and its got that guy who played Billie in six feet under, so I decided to sit & watch this while smoking, and you know, its like one of those terrible, and predictable horror flicks with 4 people who go into a creepy house in the woods to find a phone, because the car broke down, and its full of weird crap, and of......course they have to stay for one girl to find a bathroom... why can't girls just pee in the woods in movies? I see you posting pictures of yourself on myspace, peeing in the street, all the time, ladies.... Right as they were about to leave said creepy house, twenty goddamn minutes later, the creepy inbred inhabitants decide to show up and you know, try to kill them, and I was thinking....
If this movie were a book, it would be a R.L. Stine novel written for 12 year olds. I wouldn't read crap like that because I am an adult, why the hell would I watch it on tv? I just can't sit and watch stupid movies, I don't relax, I just wonder why the plot is so dumb and predicable. Frustration does not help my stomach kids. I feel my brain dying when I watch shit lke this. Cartoons are like candy bars, good for the soul, this movie is like an expired protein bar, you are just sort of left with a really, nasty aftertaste.

So my cars power steering decided to just straight up break today.. it was fine this morning, then I got to work and it starting grinding and being very hard to turn, then a friend at work went and looked at my car, told what part he could see was broke and tried to tighten it a little, but he said it looked like part of it was loose and it might go out, which I could still drive, but no power steering. I go outside, get in my car, & drive it around the parking lot, it sounded even worse! So as I turned, it sounded like something popped off and the power steering went out completely! Its only a civic, but its still a motherfucker to try and turn at 5mph with no power steering. Luckily my friend at work knows some people who work at a dealership, so I will call him monday and take it in. I was worried, till I remembered my car is still under warranty actually. It expires in March, 3 years or 100K miles.. lucky for me! So hopefully this will be covered..

Brian at work says I have hippie tourette’s, and my ex husband used to always call me a dirty hippie, and talking to my best friend yesterday makes me realize how right they are. When it comes down to it, I really don't hate ANYONE, it takes far too much emotional energy to exert towards hating someone. I'm really lovey-dovey when it comes down to it, if you get under my shell, I'm just a big fluff ball. I'm tough on the outside, because I've had to be, but its not my nature on the inside, I'm actually a very sensitive person. I feel a really deep sense of connection with people, even people who cannot imagine how we might be alike. I believe in forgiveness, and I believe in the human potential. I believe that everyone has the power to change for good, and even the worst human scum have some sort of goodness in them. Death row prisoners usually ask for food from their childhoods for last meals, it just shows a sense of innocence to me... I also believe in God, and that God has unconditional love for us. (Side note to atheists - I suppose it might just be a lie I like to tell myself, but it’s a comforting lie nonetheless.)
What it really boils down to is this, we don’t have much time here, there is no point in wasting it on doing things that are just detrimental to the overall human condition that we are stuck in together.

Here are some pictures that I took today. Jay is the one who actually highlighted my hair, I taught him how to help me, but he ended up just doing it on his own.
Here are some previews from my DIY set that I sent in to GG. I shot these in the summer actually when my hair was red...
Jan 26, 200723:00
I'm avoiding doing my taxes, I got my w-2 today... I don't know if I'll owe $$ or not... I've been stressed out about it for months... I might get $$ back, but I just have no freaking clue... I should start on them.... or eat a piece of chocolate and smoke a cigarette..?
Jan 24, 200722:23
Coolness. I was looking at Christine Kessler's new website, and I was suprised to find myself on it... I still find it odd that people would want to pay that much attention to me, I was REALLY shy as a child, and I'm still shy now, so I don't know how to respond when people think I'm "cool" or something, because, let me assure you, I am most definitely not. But I will accept Time magazine's award for "Person of the Year" for all my blogging efforts in 2006. ;)
Jan 22, 200722:27
new pictures...
As you can see, I am very tired from moving, I took these yesterday before me and Lee went to dinner... as you can see, my hair is getting long and I need my highlights redone...
Jan 22, 200719:13
is my life a Seinfeld episode?
So, we found a place and we don't have to live with my mom. The good part is that is really nice and big, the bad part, is that it is the "apartment from hell"... how so, you ask? Well, our stove and oven were made in 1970 and neither of them work, incedently. So Jay bought this tiny toaster oven for 25$. But I don't think that is going to really cut it in the long run. I bet we will get stuck with this stuff until we move out. The windows and walls are super thin, and our neighbors are LOUD. We have the SAME exact little fridge that we had in the studio... it amazing, I was sure we'd get a better fridge, at least this one doesn't leak. The shower door and the screen door keep falling off, the temperature is hard to control with any of the faucets, its instant burning hot or freezing cold water. The cable outlet next to the TV doesn't work, neither does the electrical outlet in the kitchen. Now I know why it was so cheap.. hehehe.. But its so big. Its only 9 months of living here, so it ain't too bad.
And then there is the mystery of the rug. So when I moved in, there was no rug in front of my neighbor's door, and both our doors in in the corner so we can only really fit one rug. So I put our rug outside as soon as I unpacked it. The next day, it was in front of our neighbors door, so I put it it front of mine again. I leave, and come back, and it is in front of my neighbors door again, so I move it, again. Yesterday, I came home with Lee yesterday, and noticed it was in front of their door, so I was like "Who the hell keeps stealing our rug?" And my neighbor comes out, and announces that it is HER rug, and that she bought it, and I noticed that the rug on my porch was the SAME rug. What the hell?!? Jay remembers watching me do it, and I remember taking it from the inside and putting it outside. I didn't have two of that rug, but I know I put it outside, because they didn't have a rug when we moved in. But I put the one on the porch too. WTF?!?!? This doesn't make any sense! I'd blame it on Kramer, except, I only have the crazy screaming girl next door.

Anyone got IAM coupons? My account is about to expire...
My account is about to expire, and my credit card isn't accepted by whatever company IAM is using.... anyone got any coupons hanging around and would like to sponsor me for a bit till I can submit some new stuff?
So I totally haven't found a place to move yet.. I'm a little worried and a little stressed, books and videogames have become an escape as of late. I went to the ghetto and to the beach, but I can't even apply for a place until monday! I have one more place to go look at on monday.. but my trip to the ghettos of san diego, (why did it look like mexico? fuck I don't want to live in mexico) was worth it because I found the church of the Endtime Christian Soldiers Ministry (see video), holy fuck, hahaha. If I ever think I'm weird, or crazy or whatever, all I do is take a quick glance around the room and I feel a bit better.
Jan 5, 200722:35
I have 3 places to go look at tomorrow, and one on monday which is probably super cute, but a pain in the ass to get to, since it is like 15 minutes off the freeway and right by the beach, like the end of the street in the beach. We have started packing boxes, good lord, I have a LOT of shit. This is why I have credit card debt, haha.
While looking for a new place I managed to crash my car into some poor unsuspecting marine stationed here from Maryland. My license plate took the most of the force and my bumper is scratched up, but no dents even. I am an idiot, I need to call the insurance adjuster back, but I'm keeping my car ghetto since my deductible is 500$ and there is less damage than that.
There is a car outside my window who's car alarm has been going off for TWO hours. After about two minutes it stops and the minute a car drives by its alarm goes off again. I want to go out and slash the assholes tires, but now I can't because I just wrote about it on my internet blog, and thats way too incriminating. And besides, if I slashed his tires, there is less chance that he (yes its a he, no woman would drive a ugly black pickup with a shell, and a faulty alarm) will eventually leave.
edit: he FINALLY left because I didn't slash his tires. Its finally quiet. Yeah!

I'm not quite sure what the deal is, but it sure seems that 2007 is the year for CHANGE. Granted, this time of year people are focused on making changes, but it sure seems that everyone is pretty optimistic about how 2007 will turn out for them personally. Everyone is attempting to be more positive, and focus on "starting over". I think I'm just trying to rebuild after my life fell apart 2 years ago.
Our problem with starting over and making change is that we sure have a hard time figuring out what to fix. And even if we do identify the source of the problem, most of us will do our best to try and reason our way out of the responsibility of helping ourselves. We'd rather leave it up to those around us to somehow make everything better, since of course we "helped" them, right? Its pretty easy to expect others to pick up the pieces of our lives, when we've been doing it for them for years. If you do everyone elses homework for them when they are overloaded with just the normal amount, you can't turn around and expect them to do your piles and piles of late homework because you were too busy doing someone elses work for them. Thats not fair.
The truth is, I've been doing everyone elses homework for years because it was much easier than working on my own homework, and now I have shitty grades and a whole load of work to make up for. Its very easy to avoid my own problems if I focus on helping others. I'm an adult now (biologically, speaking) and my friends are no longer children and we all have control over our own destiny. I don't think I can reason out of this one.
Jan 1, 200720:55
So my new years was spent at home with Jay... we bought some booze and we both had a few drinks and had good sex. We are sort of an old married couple and don't seem ever seem to have as much sex as we ought to be having. On the other hand, I've noticed couples who fight a lot, often have good sex lives. Maybe we need more conflict? Either way, it was rather nice.
I didn't make any specific resolutions, just continue on the track I've been on for the last 2 years. I've always believed in self improvement, each and every day. Not just once a year, for a week, then forgetting all the promises you've made to yourself for the other 51 weeks of the year.
2006
Dec 25, 200622:37
So this holiday season actually went smooth this year, I didn't have my usual seasonal depression, and no one in my family acted insane over the holiday. Even work wasn't too terrible, the worst thing that happened to me, was having to sit in the ER for several hours on Christmas Eve because of Jay's tattoo infection. It seems he had an inital allergic reaction to something, just like my arm with the Mary tattoo, but we stopped the reaction before it got like my arm did, which had second degree chemical burns in my freaking ditch. The whole thing was an open, oozing wound naturally, that turned into cellulitis, which in lay mans terms, is a skin infection. The fluid started to build up, and his ankle swelled quite a bit, so we went to my mom's ER before Jay had a panic attack from visions of gangrenous limbs and amputations... she's the manager of the emergency room, so she called ahead and we got good treatment. I suppose the best hook up to have would be this one, eh? Click here see the video of his leg I made in the ER and if you want to hear what my voice sounds, like you can hear me asking Jay silly questions about his leg...
I seriously got entirely too many nice things for Christmas from Jay and my family. Jay sort of spoiled me this year, I now have a cute pair of brown suede, furry boots with wedge heels to hunt pikachu with, because you know, that's what wearing knee high, lace up, furry boots looks like. You look an anime character out to hunt other anime characters, which is a look, that I can rock quite well considering I'm quite tiny (5'1" and 99lbs) and "cute". Jay's parents bought me a pink nintendo DS lite so I can play with Jay's white nintendo DS lite that I bought him. Good thing, since he just broke the video game we WERE playing together, I just watched him snap my Final Fantasy III disc right in half as he tried to get it out of the blockbuster DVD case, smooth, real smooth. I also FINALLY got three things I've been wanting now forever - a foodsaver from my mom, a pink bluetooth headset from my sister, and the perfume, "flower" by Kenzo, from Jay. My father bought The Beatles, Sgt. Peppers album, for Jay, and he got me a camping stove, which means, that he is finally accepting Jay, not that he didn't like him or anything, but like any good father, he's rather wary of any man who wants to have sex with his daughter.
Six days ago we got a note taped on our door, very official looking and all, from my landlord's lawyer stating that my tenacy is now over, and that I have 30 days to move. Holy shit. I got faint for a brief second after reading the letter, and had to actually sit down for a moment to absorb the whole situation. I was starting to be rather comfortable in my studio these days. I just hung up a super cute shelf over the bathtub, geez! So, now the hunt is on to find a place in the next three weeks! Thanks to Wes, my ex, I am a master mover. Unfortunately the thought of an 150-200$ a month in bills and rent is sort of scary, but hell, its time to move into a one bedroom. We are now looking for a place in Pacific Beach so Jay will be closer to work, and besides, most of our friends live in PB.
So, 2007 should be a good year, a new place, a new chance, a new life to begin.

Christmas in Babylon. part1
So, for the past month or so I've been working at Costco's camera roadshow selling cameras to the people who live in a wealthy, tech/defense industry area in San Diego. And let me tell you, these people are most miserable, insane, & socially inept group of individuals I've ever encountered collectively. You would think that buying a digital camera would be an easy process for brain surgeons and rocket scientists. But no, its about as difficult for them to buy a camera, as it would be for me to do a brain surgery. They come in on breaks from work and they still have their hospital and tech company ID tags on them. I've noticed they usually pay assistants to do these sort of things for them, because they are so idiotic when it comes to the real world that the rest of us live in.
"Do all these cameras connect to the computer?"
"yes"
"are you sure?"
-insert blank stare/sarcasm/disbelief/a simple yes/sigh
They don't seem to understand simple things, like how the SHAPE of the memory card determines where it can fit in the camera. If the card is bigger than the slot, its won't fit, I promise. They think I'm trying to trick them into buying a more expensive card. Some of them go back and forth over and over the same 3 features of two camera's for 45 minutes. These people have terrible codependent tendencies on top of everything else, and I often just say "Well, what *I* would do is..." just to stop them whining like ungrateful children, over and over about how they just... can't.... decide. In my head I want to bolt that table and run out the door and drive far-fucking-away, but I just sort of back up a tad, and quiet down and then they start to feel pretty awkward if they have any sort of manners, which most don't, since I'm a salesperson, thus, beneath them, and unworthy of the manners they might show to someone who might be making them money, and not just taking it from them.
I'm pretty sure I finally know why most these people who currently have shitloads money, just want more. They believe that if they have enough material wealth that one day, they will finally be satisfied, they will feel whole. But that satisfaction will never come. They'd pick that apart too looking for flaws, the water they drink is too wet, and the air they breath is too dry. There is always something wrong. If something isn't wrong, then there MUST be something wrong with it. They ask for logical impossibilities so much, I wonder if they are really that stupid/insane or just on way too many prescription drugs. A little of both I suppose.
In each of us, is an empty void we try to fill, but no material possession will ever fill the void that is left the moment our soul separates from god, and we come into existence. The secret to filling that void is actually to reverse the flow, if just for a little bit, and creating something from this part of ourselves. When we create, we use this part of ourselves, the void, and we set a little bit of this free into the universe and somehow we free ourselves in the process.
and on a lighter note... here is me and Jay's xmas picture... our cards turned out super cute -
Dec 12, 200623:05
Jay decorates our little tree... its now sort of christmas-y in here. Sometmes I just sit and think these are some of the best days of my lfe, just being here with Jay in our little apartment next to the beach.
Dec 11, 200617:53
xmas photos for some coworkers... shot at night at balboa park...
Dec 3, 200612:05
My hair is the longest its been in 11 years.. I'm glad mullets came back in style long enough for me to grow my hair out. Maybe thats why they came back in style in the first place?
I'm trying to convince Jay to go and see the fountain with me.. he thinks it will be lame, its by the guy that did pi and requiem for a dream, which are some of my favorite movies so I want to go and see it.
My nails are two weeks old and they still look like they did when I got them done. This makes me happy since I don't feel like I wasted my money on something like, oh, you know, fake nails, which is a waste of money, but fuck, they look nice.
I think I will end getting my other arm tattooed before I get to start on my back.. I need to make a christmas list and take a bath and eat some food...
Nov 29, 200616:24
As things fall out of place they into place for the next step. I'm always excited for the future. If anything, the world around is changing, and despite all the turmoil, I do think its changing for the better.
I watch the news everyday and I don't even know where 2006 went, so many changes I lost track a long time ago. Everyday my thoughts sit in my head and I don't even know what to say out loud anymore. Maybe this world is just different for me and I see it mystical, shimmering and full of life and hope and I don't know how to let these things out of me. Maybe art can save me, somehow through the process of creation, you can transmute everything bad you experience into something beautiful.
Nov 28, 200600:59
This weekend I basically spent time cleaning and organizing my crap around the house. By the house I mean the studio, where two people live. Our place is pretty little, and we both have a lot of stuff so it tends to get messy very easily. Its sort of funny, this year living together I think made us both sort of grow up, because we realized to make it work, we were both going to have to learn to be very patient. And if I lack anything, it is patience. After this year, I feel much calmer and relaxed. Almost like when I was a kid.
I went out to lunch today with one of the models from GG who lives down here in PB. She is seeing a tattoo artist who came along with us for lunch. My turkey burger was gross and I didn't eat dinner.. I am hungry right now dammit. She was really sweet and its nice to meet some girls who live down here..
This whole deal about the Russian spy and Putin is the public start of the breakdown of Russian-American relations. Russia sells defense systems, weapons and is helping Iran build a nuclear power plant. We can threaten Iran with sanctions, but they don't sell any oil to us, (china and india buy it) and the rest of the world isn't going along with it. I heard one of the DJ's on KFI news radio hailing against Putin, warning americans that he is not our friend. Well, duh, not the govts friend, but were they ever? Will the efforts of the cold war come to fruition?
I have an interesting modeling job I was offered coming up. If I never do anything else regarding modeling I think I'd be pretty satisfied with this. It should be interesting to see the final result... I'll say more about this later...
Nov 25, 200600:08
I updated my photography section.. I added about 8 pictures... I need to work on a set of pictures I took for my friend a while back... I'm finally feeling like I'm catching up and no longer overdoing everything.
Simplicity.
Nov 24, 200600:01
I hope everyone had a great thanksgiving.. min e was stressful.. my grandma drives everyone crazy.. but I got smart this year and brought her a gift, and she behaved mostly.. so I guess its pretty easy, just bring her presents and she'll shut up at least for a little while. I actually at the end of the night told her to zip it, and gave her a hug because she was making us all insane with her inability to control her mouth. So I just took pictures to distract myself. My neice made me play with her all day and I'm good and I play along.
my nephew, my neice showing me her fingers, a few more of her, my mom and my nephew..
Nov 22, 200621:49
Allright, the holiday season is here, and I work retail and it is, THE SUCK. I've worked in the service industry all my working life so its just a fun game at this point. I work in electronics at a Costco, and right now I'm basically running a booth with digital cameras, like one of those people at the swapmeet, but I'm inside a Costco. I always get stuck on the camera roadshow as we call it because well, I'm the best one at it, (wow, what a lame talent!).
I just figure most people who harass retail employees have undiagosed mental problems, and most consumers are stupid, but I am amazed everyday at the rudeness and the ignorance of some people. Let me share..
Me: "This camera features a leica lens, these are the sharpest lens we carry."
Dumb Fat Lady: "What do you mean, sharp?"
Skin Disease Face Man: "I need a camera to take pictures for ebay."
Me: "Well you'd like this camera, with a good macro lens, to get detail for small objects like that."
Skin Disease Face Man: "Thats strange, they call it macro?"
Me: "Yes, thats what they call it, macro."
Skin Disease Face Man: "But do you know what macro means?"
Me: "Yeah..."
Skin Disease Face Man: "But macro means....?"
Me: "big?"
Skin Disease Face Man: "And micro means small, why don't they call it micro?"
Me: "Thats what they CALL it. What do you want me to tell you?"
Skin Disease Face Man: "um, can I get that camera?"
Eastern European Freak Lady: "I need a printer with bluetooth."
Me: "You need a printer with wireless?"
Eastern European Freak Lady: "No, Bluetooth, like my computer. I need to be able to print from anywhere in the house."
Me: "They make wireless printers, they work over the a network-"
Eastern European Freak Lady: "No! Bluetooth, my computer uses bluetooth to connect to the internet!"

So I'm totally in love with mac's photobooth, can you tell?
So, I got my nails done and cooked a turkey and got an eye exam and new glasses ordered today. I was sort of productive. I did the bills yesterday and mailed them today.
So when I went to get my nails done, I went to the nail place next to Jay's work.. and I guess the guys in the shop were checking me out from down the street.. as I got closer they realized I was Jay's gf... hehe, thats cute. Paul called Jay and told him... Paul gets drunk and calls jay at 1am for video game advice.. I'm glad Jay has a someone hes freinds with in SD.. but sometimes....

I wish it were 1995
Okay, so I totally hate the internet now. I used to go on the internet to escape the people I see everyday, and then something happened... those people discovered the internet TOO! No where is safe now. I'm just going to hide in my apartment with my boyfreind, some books, and cartoon network.

Lately I've just had very little sympathy for peoples sob stories and excuses, and inability to cope with life. A lady today at work was returning her computer and she couldn't decide whether or not she was going to return it or not after all because she was afraid the people at Gateway were going to steal the information off her hard drive. She even called them to ask them about it. She is then telling us how her husband died recently and her identity was stolen afterwards and how her house burnt down (you obviously had insurance, you knew this risk when you bought the thing... fuck you owned a home to burn down..). Her kids are in the backround, her daughter, sort of overweight with unkempt hair, she just looked sort of lost, I'm sure the kids at school teased her about her looks. Her son was running around like a monkey and kicking the back wall like this was his backyard.
I just sort of stared at her and listened as she told perfect strangers about how awful her life has felt for the past 2 years. I've heard so many sob stories in 26 years, so many strangers with sad stories. I'm approachable, much more so in person, I just look like some ditzy, little girl to a lot of older folks. What is it that makes people reach out and look for sympathy from people who don't know you? Maybe she should get a blog.

15 days ago I wrote and entry about Jeff. 3 years ago I got married, I totally forgot about it until around 6pm at work that today was my wedding anniversary. Does that mean that I'm over it? I don't know, its still weird to think that I used to married to someone that I no longer speak to.
I dressed as a bumblebee for work today and I did my makeup cute, like a bumblebee would, if a bumblebee did her makeup. And went without my glasses. So I was blind. BUT, I did get a few, "oh my god, is that really your eye color? Oh your eyes are pretty!" From some people at work, which was cute. A few customers asked if I was wearing a costume because they couldn't tell from the front if I was just a weirdo with crazy eyemakeup, because you couldn't see my stinger. I laughed and showed them the back and said "yes it is, I'm not just some girl in weird makeup." They of course laughed because they didn't expect me to say what they were thinking.
I hope everyone had a good halloween!

So I must be the clutziest person alive and I hit my pinky toe on my desk for the hundredth time I walked past it, but this time I got a blood blister on my pinky toe. I'm not even going to tell you what else I did today on accident, but it involves fly paper and it involves my head, you can use your imagination with that one.
I redid my myspace profile a little, and I made it public...

I went to my nieces fourth birthday yesterday and my nephew is getting huge, hes about 7 months old now and hes not much smaller than her. My niece is adorable, shes like my little clone, my whole family calls her Erica on accident all the time, its kinda weird to watch a little girl who has my same mannerisms, but I suppose she probably inherited a large amount of genes both me and my sister have in common.
There was a creepy spider on the bed last night and jay saw it, and I didn't. So all night I was creeped out everytime my skin twitched, I was like "is that the spider?" until I fell asleep and was woken up numerous times by my stomach.
Allright time to cook burgers.

Right now I have three scenarios going on around me which I can't really do anything about, 2 involve family and only one involves me. My friends at work agreed with me that I can't really do anything yet, but hope someone says something soon because someones life does depend on it. Um, if your parents are baby boomers, you may be experiencing the baby boomer mid life crisis through the eyes of your parents.
And some things should never suprise me. But they always do. Oh well, keep watching.
Depression is something that runs in my family and I recognize that I do suffer from periods of depression for no reason except its just time for my moods to change. This time of year I get it worse than others, due to the lack of sunlight, I don't suppose I'd do well in alaska. To feel sadness for the state of the world is kinda lame, but its just how my mind works I guess. I know that I'm really emotionally sensitive to not just myself, but to others, and when people around me are in distress I tend to take on part of that to alleviate it I guess.
Art is where I put all those feelings and I make something with them.
I wish I could help people better, but I'm not sure how sometimes.

Tomorrow is the 15th, 3 years ago my friend Jeff died. I must be lucky, I've only had one friend taken from me like this. In my world, maybe I'm too optimistic, but I don't expect my friends to die when they are 21, and not people like him. Shitheads are supposed to be in motorcycle accidents, not Jeff. Maybe sometimes I think it just isn't fair, it just doesn't make sense, but I remember why the people we love will always die. To be thankful for the all the people we love who are still with us, and how we need to remember to appreciate them while they are here, because you just never know when they will be gone.

So I was thinking about how I got rear ended the other day... and I swear I have been rear ended like 3 times just in that car. I don't know why people insist on hitting the back of my car. I suppose it just must be a good target. The new, new macbook is sweet. We went back to the mac store and we got a different mac instead. This one works just fine. I still need to fix our PC and get a portable harddrive. At least I had backups of my files from august.. but not everything from my trip, which is still on that harddrive. Great, so i still have to deal with that.
I was reading an article on this girl in maxim, and she was whining about how the media was following her around, speculating on her life.. and it makes me laugh when people PUT themselves in positions where they are really just hoping to get someones attention. Seriously, these people whine about gossip, but the truth is, if people STOPPED talking about them then they'd really be sad because then NO one would pay attention to them in life.
My neck hurts... I want to smoke a bowl now before bed, its 11:35pm and jay is sleeping next to me its rather cute.. he said the cutest thing I think any man has ever said to me, but I won't spoil it by repeating it here, but lets just say I have a keeper.

So, my boss needed someone to come in and stock at 5am tommarrow, and I agreed to do it because I'm lame like that. Now its 11:30pm, and I need to wake up at 3:30am and I'm obviously not alseep like I should be. WTF? At least I finished the pictures of Marley, now I need to send them to her.
I have two paying photo gigs coming up. Good thing, because I'm pooooor.
I went grocery shopping today, and now we have food (finally!), so I'm going to to eat and fall asleep. see ya homies.

So, I'm not so good at this adult this sometimes and I forget that rent is due at the end up the month, every month. Hahah, oops, I paid all my bills and was like, okay I have so much money till next week when I get paid, and Jay was like, uh, "rents due on monday." Oh shit, oh yeah!!! Dammit.. at least jay has enought to cover me until i get paid again.
I think I'm getting a cold or just serious allergies.. my face is a ball of oozing boogers and I'm kinda over it, so it can go away soon.
I've been processing the images of Marley that I shot, i think she'll really like them... shes really really cute, even cuter in person because you don't get the extra cuteness that comes with her being like 93lbs and 5' tall.
People think I'm tall or something a lot before they meet me, no dude, I'm only 5'1" and 99lbs... reminds me of when I met masuimi, shes freaking tiny, like Marleys size, with giant boobs and hips, and I expected her to be tall...
everyone I know is having a birthday right now, I feel bad that I'm lazy and content and don't go out when I'm invited too, I need to work on that. But its hard when all I need is sitting at home.

My life is seriously like this really weird movie and I just sort of play this part in it and God does all sorts of weird shit to mess with my life whether I like it or not. One day I'll write a book about it, but like when I'm old and actually have enough life experience have something to fill a book up.

Ground Zero
So me and Jay went to Ground Zero for the 5 year anniversary (why does that not look spelled correctly?) and holy hell, I expected to see a few protesters outside, but no, 50% of the crowd outside the WTC was wearing "investigate 9/11" tshirts.. I was really suprised to see THAT many people yesterday. I felt kind of torn about the whole situation, one one hand, you listen to these family members read off the names of loved ones, while people are outside, just filled with rage, directed at the gov't, almost forgetting why they are angry in the first place. I tried to take a lot of pictures showing both sides of the issue, (two sides isn't really accurate, there are many sides to this story), showing the police and firefighters, and the protesters side by side. I'll upload my pictures when I get back... It was all in all, a very emotionally draining experience to be in center of so many strong emotions all at once.
Sep 10, 200600:49
New pictures... I got a tan and blonde hair, sorta. We went to the museam and saw crystals, & dinosaurs. Jay injures himself ALL the time, but has super healing powers, like wolverine. I bought some new plugs... yes, those are pretty awesome plugs, eh? Enigma. Thanks, Didier.

So I shot these pictures for my friend Eric's band.. they are actually good, I'm not just saying that because I usually hate this sort of music, but the guitar work is really good. Eric used to annoy the hell out of me playing my seafoam green guitar for hours over and over and over, while I sat on the internet, when we were 15. I guess it paid off.. and I used to take pictures of him and develop them and put them up in photo class and embarrass him. awwww... gt's.

Does sadness lead to compassion?
Aug 15, 200623:48
sometimes certain books, movie, people, ideas pop up over and over again and i have to figure what the deal is.. and the fountainhead is one of them. it might have had something to do with rewatching a scanner darkly sunday, and freck commits suicide with a bottle of expensive wine and a bottle of pills, while holding the fountainhead. my heroin addicted cousin who slit her wrists (buy a gun, you pussies) reads this kinda shit. wtf, why do people want to kill themselves after reading ayn rand?
I explain "objectivism" to jay, and he simply said "oooh, rich bitch syndrome... sounds like my ex gf, she didn't want to do anything that didn't benefit her directly."
so today at work I googled "ann rand" forgetting it was "ayn rand" and my first thought was, "I bet your fucking name really isn't ayn rand" and it wasn't. she changed it from some boring russian name, to something more profound, like L. Ron Hubburd. So, whilst bored at work I read through argument after argument about "objectivism". Hi, not a working model for society.
One of the basic roles of limited gov't, is to protect the people, according to rand. Who the fuck is going to protect you? The magical robot army? Soldiers are altruistic by nature, they sacrifice themselves for the betterment of the whole, which is directly opposed to objectivism. I don't get it. Who is going to protect you if you believe everyone should be focusing on their rational self interests? Your military doesn't serve for the 21K a year the gov't pays them, they serve because they believe in something MORE IMPORTANT than themselves. Do you think this ideal would work in a enviroment where you have to rely on the company of others to protect you? I don't think so.
The best a man can be is productive and successful without relying or trusting others to get you there, individualism & self-sufficiency. Again, WTF? If you "produce", you are trusting, and having faith that the group will "buy" what you are producing. What is a product without a buyer? People aren't going to buy your product just because you are selling it. You had better hope, & have FAITH people will be nice enough to support you so you can be successful.
Success, in the objectivist world of logic & rationality. Who awards success to an individual? The collective group does, not the self. The self is not capable of awarding itself the title of "successful". This in itself is reserved in OTHERS opinions of you. I could write 100 books, but I'm not a successful author unless others think so. I can't just award myself the title of successful using objective reasoning. You MUST rely on others outside of the self to apply that title to oneself, because what is success, but the measure of the self against others achievements?

Which Kathleen Hanna Are You?
So you aren't famous yet, but you know you will be...you're Pre-Bikini Kill Kathleen HannaYou write a 'zine with friend Tobi Vail called Bikini Kill and have thoughts about starting a band. You hang out with Kurt Cobain, and even spraypaint that he smells like Teen Spirit on a wall...inspiring the title for the now classic song. Watch out suckah...you're about the bitchslap everyone. Take this quiz!
I've slowly learned over the past two years, to just give up, and enjoy my job. I asked one of my managers why everyone's (the customers) crazy, and he tells me "One of the best pieces of advice I ever got was to just assume everyone is just insane and they forgot to take their medicine today." They must be.
My work is a sort of "us vs. them" additude with our customers. I work in a very ritzy area of san diego, and most of our customers are VERY well off. (the jewelry on these women... I see 2 & 3 carat diamonds daily) So, everyone at my work kinda sticks together, since half the customers treat us like we are all trailer trash since we work FOR a costco instead of owning one. It makes us closer in some weird way...
My store manager is starting to relax as well... I'm going to give myself some credit for this because I was really nice to him when I started at my store and he wasn't sure what to make of me since most people were kinda scared of him, I told him I knew he had a reputation, but my impression of him was that he was really nice. I even challenged him on a paper he wanted me to sign with my logic, but I signed it anyways because I knew I could hold him to his reassuring me if wouldn't affect me negatively. I think it sort of shocked him into realizing that being nice was going to get him further in the world than trying to force his will on others. It really only takes one person to start a positive revolution, we just need to be brave enough to live up to our potentials.

On tuesday I got tattooed, I finally got some of the color work fixed and started on this piece. Some idiot fucked it up... and I let it heal for about 2 years and then found a really good artist that works in the same shop as my bf, who did the same style as the original piece. Paul did a beautiful job on the eyes and he filled in Mary's heart. So now she has her eyes, and her heart. I just need about two more hours of work on her and then she'll finally be finished.
I think some people int he shop recognized me from GG... but were too afraid to say hi... if you ever recognize me.. say hi!! (Unless you are creepy.... hehe)
When I started getting work done my arm was swelling really bad, so i just decided to try some visulation/dissassociation and the swelling went down immediatly, and I had no problems whatsoever the rest of the tattoo.. I almost fell alseep in the chair I was so relaxed.. which isn't usual for me since I usually get swollen and feel sick sometimes afterwards... it usually takes alot of out me, but since I started eating better and taking vitamins I've been feeling so good bodily.. even sweating feels so good.. it feels so clean.
Even the heat doesn't bother me, since I lived in temecula for 3 years, all summer it was this hot, and I wore long sleeves and high collars, and my building was almost 80 degrees sometimes.. so this is like, nothing.
Jul 24, 200613:03
I love to debate christianity with fundies... its great because I usually know more about the religion they supposedly practice. I think some part of me was born to basically piss off the catholic church and put to rest all the BULLSHIT that they put women through...
I have an interesting theory... after reading revalations since I was a kid, its always been my favorite part of the bible, in a sort of Narnia/Lord of the Rings sort of way. But its always been a mystery as to who the "real" author of it is. John the apostle is usally given credit to the work, but that doesn't really make sense considering the gospel of John is totally different in style, and was written much earlier. Revelations was written about 95ad, (which would make John over 100 years old if he wrote it) and its greek is considered "atrocious" compared to the other gospels, like the gospel of John.
If you believe Jesus was married to Mary Magdeline (and I do, because I studied gnostic christianity in college), and that they DID in fact, have a child, a little girl, named sara, who they sent to france to live with the gypsy tribe that Mary belonged to, then what if, this is her gospel?
What if Jesus gave this prophecy only to her, and sent her away so she would be out of harm until it was time for her to write it down and send it back? It was written when she would have been an adult, and she may have sent it back to the holy land. She may have made it look like it was written by a man named John to confuse the early christians into accepting it, and not rejecting it, like they might have been doing with the early church and Mary's (her mothers/women) place in it?
If you pick up revelations, and read it from this perspective, it starts to sound much more coherant, and like an actual story playing out.
The secret of "St. John"? The secret was that Jesus and Mary bore a child, and sent her away, and she had the final prophecy, "the revelation", which she revealed when the time was right.
It was her all along, she was "St. John of revelations", who wrote the final chapter of the Bible. Does it all make sense now?

So I get a knock on my door which sounded like my landlord, and I was afraid that maybe we were going to get in trouble again for someone smelling our pot smoke again.. so I waited a second to answer the door and opened it, and it was, my landlord. But we weren't getting in trouble. She told me someone was trying to break into my car last night, with a broomstick. Needless to say, we had someone who watches our parking lot and they called the cops. I guess they scratched my window a little bit, but, seriously, WTF? Who breaks into my empty car, with a broomstick.. (I've never gotten a tune up, trust me, you don't want to steal it) to like, steal my burnt CD's or maybe my jeans filled with sand from 4th of July. If you had to use only household items to break into a car, a hanger would work better dontcha think? Now my landlord is getting her cop friends to watch our building more, thank god.
This is almost as bad as the time someone spray painted my VW bugs headlights black after I had gotten it fixed, AND stole my beanie baby, because my dad drove my car and left it unlocked. WTF, who steals a beanie baby??!?!?!? I have a new beanie baby that my dad bought me a while, just like my old one, and I think the thief is back. Not this time sucka... Stay away from my beanie baby, get your own!!!!

Tut's gem hints at space impact
BBC NEWS / SCIENCE/NATURE
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/low/science/nature/5196362.stm
Thing of beauty: Tutankhamun's Pectoral with desert glass scarab
Tutankhamun's Pectoral with desert glass scarab, Egyptian Museum (TV6/BBC) In 1996 in the Egyptian Museum in Cairo, Italian mineralogist Vincenzo de Michele spotted an unusual yellow-green gem in the middle of one of Tutankhamun's necklaces.
The jewel was tested and found to be glass, but intriguingly it is older than the earliest Egyptian civilisation.
Working with Egyptian geologist Aly Barakat, they traced its origins to unexplained chunks of glass found scattered in the sand in a remote region of the Sahara Desert.
But the glass is itself a scientific enigma. How did it get to be there and who or what made it?
Thursday's BBC Horizon programme reports an extraordinary new theory linking Tutankhamun's gem with a meteor.
Sky of fire
An Austrian astrochemist Christian Koeberl had established that the glass had been formed at a temperature so hot that there could be only one known cause: a meteorite impacting with Earth. And yet there were no signs of an impact crater, even in satellite images.
American geophysicist John Wasson is another scientist interested in the origins of the glass. He suggested a solution that came directly from the forests of Siberia.
"When the thought came to me that it required a hot sky, I thought immediately of the Tunguska event," he tells Horizon.
In 1908, a massive explosion flattened 80 million trees in Tunguska, Siberia.
Although there was no sign of a meteorite impact, scientists now think an extraterrestrial object of some kind must have exploded above Tunguska. Wasson wondered if a similar aerial burst could have produced enough heat to turn the ground to glass in the Egyptian desert.
Jupiter clue
The first atomic bomb detonation, at the Trinity site in New Mexico in 1945, created a thin layer of glass on the sand. But the area of glass in the Egyptian desert is vastly bigger.
Whatever happened in Egypt must have been much more powerful than an atomic bomb.
Boslough's specialism is modelling large impacts
Dr Mark Boslough, Great Sand Sea (BBC) A natural airburst of that magnitude was unheard of until, in 1994, scientists watched as comet Shoemaker-Levy collided with Jupiter. It exploded in the Jovian atmosphere, and the Hubble telescope recorded the largest incandescent fireball ever witnessed rising over Jupiter's horizon.
Mark Boslough, who specialises in modelling large impacts on supercomputers, created a simulation of a similar impact on Earth.
The simulation revealed that an impactor could indeed generate a blistering atmospheric fireball, creating surface temperatures of 1,800C, and leaving behind a field of glass.
"What I want to emphasise is that it is hugely bigger in energy than the atomic tests," says Boslough. "Ten thousand times more powerful."
Defence lessons
The more fragile the incoming object, the more likely these airborne explosions are to happen.
In Southeast Asia, John Wasson has unearthed the remains of an event 800,000 years ago that was even more powerful and damaging than the one in the Egyptian desert; one which produced multiple fireballs and left glass over three hundred thousand square miles, with no sign of a crater.
"Within this region, certainly all of the humans would have been killed. There would be no hope for anything to survive," he says.
Dr Aly Barakat with desert glass in hand (TV6/BBC) According to Boslough and Wasson, events similar to Tunguska could happen as frequently as every 100 years, and the effect of even a small airburst would be comparable to many Hiroshima bombs.
Attempting to blow up an incoming asteroid, Hollywood style, could well make things worse by increasing the number of devastating airbursts.
"There are hundreds of times more of these smaller asteroids than there are the big ones the astronomers track," says Mark Boslough. "There will be another impact on the earth. It's just a matter of when."

i'm a mongoose, are you?
Long ago, in the jungles of India, there was a great fire, and all the animals had to flee to save their lives. Most of the animals in the jungle fled to the river for safety, they either swam or used the floating debris to travel downstream, where they could find protection from the raging fire.
As luck would have it, two of the last animals to emerge were a mongoose, and a cobra. They both ran out of the jungle to find all of the life saving branches gone, except one. The mongoose, seeing that the snake wasn’t very capable of pushing the branch into the river on its own, offered the cobra this,
“Look, I know you are a snake, but its death to both of us to fight over this branch, so I’ll just push it in the water, and you and I can ride along together till we can make it to shore, and then we can go our separate ways.”
The cobra, thinking its got the naive weasel all sized up to make a tasty snack , (after of course, they are both in the river, on that lovely branch) says to the mongoose,
“That’s a rather generous thought of you, I shall accept your ride.”
The mongoose then pushed the branch into the water, and steadied itself before helping the snake onto the branch. With one last push, they were both on their way. Before the mongoose had time to consider its decision on why it decided to help a snake in the first place, the cobra decided to flare its hood and prepare to strike.
“What are you doing? I just saved your life!”
“I’m a cobra, and cobra’s eat weasels, you silly little vermin!”
The snake then made one final hiss, and buried its fangs into the mongooses thick fur.
“Look closer! I’m not a weasel, I’m a mongoose! You stupid snake!”
Before the poison could take affect, the mongoose delivered a crushing bite to the snakes head, killing it instantly. The mongoose then fell into a deep, venom induced coma.
Hours later, the branch washed ashore many miles down the river, far away from the burning jungle. The river gently rocked the mongoose awake. The mongoose then looked around, and noticed that it and landed miles downstream, and that it must be time for dinner by now. Luckily for the mongoose, dinner was already waiting.

I saw this on a car the other day in the parking lot of my work. All I can say is, well, at least they are honest about their intentions.
My work is an an interesting area, a fair amount of my customers work in the technology side of defense and ARE the war profiteers. I had one man actually tell me his company sells airplane nuts and bolts that cost 10$ to make for about 300$ to the gov't, who pays for it with our tax money. sweet.

Here is a REALLY weird story for you.
Before I met Jay, I was having fun being single. During one of those times I went to a party with my coworkers, there was about 40 of us in a two story house all drunk from the same store. That night I met this really cute boy who happened to be seeing of of my coworkers who lived in the house. Well, she was kinda a bitch, and she almost caused a married couple I knew (that took care of my dog when I had to move )to break up, by sending nudes to the husband on her cell phone to him. So, I didn’t feel bad when she went to sleep and I uh, took advantage of him, or did he take advantage of me? Either was, he was REALLY cute, 19 (I was 24) and trouble, which is exactly my type. I got good head till I told him to stop. Needless to say, she found out.
I was invited to move into the house, but the girl, freaked the fuck out and was like “that bitch is not moving in here!” And I felt bad for her since she confronted me about it and told her what happened and she started crying… so I was asking her roomates what her problem was you know, the rest of time she was at work because she just was like sad/kinda pissed all the time. Her roomates were like “Umm, don’t you know about her brother?” and I’m like “uh, no…. “ “Her brother is a terrorist! Google his name - Adam Gadahn.” And I did, and he was on the FBI’s most wanted for terrorist activities. This was a year and a half ago..
And today when sitting in my car at work I hear the about the terrorist from Orange and Riverside county is the man responsible for new video tapes being released by al Qaeda by their top american, Adam Gadahn. Her brother.
Weird. So I pissed off a real live terrorist’s sister, hows that for ya?

In case you haven’t been keeping up with the supreme court, (and who the fuck has time for that?) you probably didn’t hear about the Hudson v. Michigan case, that was recently decided.
To make a long story short, a man was sitting in his house smoking crack basically, surrounding by drugs or whatnot, and the police did have a warrant, but they did NOT knock before entering the mans home and the arrested him and used the evidence they found in the search to convict him. He argued, they didn’t knock, so the evidence gathered wasn’t valid. His lawyers took it all the way to the supreme court, and the supreme court said too bad if the cops didn’t knock, he was still guilty and cops are more professional these days, so they don’t really need to knock anymore.
I don’t like the idea that ANYONE can come into my home, search warrant or not, and not knock and announce their presence, and still be legally allowed to enter. Our fourth amendment of the constitution, which protects us from unreasonable searches and seizures, is being eroded before our very eyes.
“The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized. “
When the police no longer have to knock, I am no longer secure in my home.

below is me and jay's bio for my website that will finally be going up in the next few weeks... enjoy a preview!
------------------
Bliss Photography came about as a collaborative project to make art,
express an idea, and sell a product. The project itself is a
collaboration between two very unique artists, Erica Strawther and Jay
Cordero. Bliss Photography combines elements of photojournalism,
fashion, abstract, and editorial style photography to give each photo
its unique balance of both glamour and realism, resulting in almost a
surreal look that transcends the average photograph. We treat each
client as an individual, with distinctive needs, and our job as
artists and photographers, is to listen to our clients needs and build
a project with those in mind.
Erica Strawther was born in Orange County, California, the youngest of
two sisters, in 1980. Her mother, a Southern California beach native,
is a emergency room nurse, and her father, a Midwestern transplant,
does both marketing and technical servicing, of pro sound equipment.
Erica grew up around cameras as a result of her fathers interest in
photography. Her grandfather on his side, was also a professional
wedding photographer. Erica won her first art award for Disney's
"Award of Excellence" in art, in middle school for color, with a mixed
media piece. She was invited to second time to attend Disney's award
program in high school, this time for one of her black and white
photographs. In high school, Erica won first place in her student art
show, again, for one of her photography pieces. She attended Mt. San
Antonio College in Walnut, CA and majored in psychology and minored in
philosophy. At the age of 20, Erica started the cosmetology program at
Fullerton College, and completed 1100, of the 1600 required to
graduate from the program before deciding a life behind the stylists
chair wasn't for her. After four years of working at Costco, in the
electronics department, she decided to pursue her long standing dream
of making a living doing what she always loved best, making art for
people to cherish.
Jay Cordero was born in Hackensack, New Jersey in 1983. He was the
only child to a father who did woodworking, and a French born mother,
who holds a degree in psychology and works as a human resources
director. Jay, like his father, also developed a talent for
woodworking and carving after being around his parents antique
restoration business which they ran for six years, as a husband and
wife partnership. In middle school, Jay won awards for his
photography work in his schools art show. In high school, Jay also
kept up his interest in the arts, and again was awarded for his
achievements in photography. When Jay graduated high school, he
decided to follow in his fathers footsteps, and attended New York's
Rochester Institute Of Technology to learn woodworking. After two
years, Jay decided to pack up, and move to Long Beach California and
attend National Institute of Technology for electrical engineering.
Jay, an artist at heart, has always wanted to work a craft, where he
could use his creative skill to give clients a sense of joy and
wonder.
This is the realization of our vision.

I love the people who expect everyone to help them no matter WHAT their approach is. Me, I'm sitting on the counter trying to connect monitors to a hub and having no success, when I was fucking accosted by a incredibly rude members attitude.
He basically demanded me to help him with his computers software, which I don't fucking do. They pay people more than I make to come to your house and deal with your shitty attitude, and try and help you learn how to use "address book" or whatever your idiotic problem is. I told him, I couldn't help him, so he wanted me to get the number of HP support, which I said won't help him either. SO he then decided that I had to get him a tech support # anyways. BUT, first he was going to go shopping and he'd meet me back in my department, which i told him, who knows where I'll be. This asshole was now pissing me off. But I was sweet, and nice, and helpful because thats what I get paid 18$ an hour for, not just to read the internet on my treo.
So I decided to give him 1-800-244-3445 or 1-800-big-dick. He thanked me for being very helpful, "you were very helpful" I'm lucky my inner voice is very quiet because all I could think was "and you were an asshole." But I still smiled and thanked him back, because I have manners, but sometimes I feel like the bad karma is worth it for people like that.

My crazy family is coming to visit me.. my sister and me have been fighting and after not talking for a month, she had an epiphany when she was talking to my cousin about how she'd been treating me and apologized for all the shit she did over the years because didn't realize she was doing it. I'm glad she realizes it. :)

truth, delivered to my email box.
Gurteen Knowledge Quote of the Day - Monday June 5, 2006
Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t
be trapped by dogma -- which is living with the results of other people’s
thinking. Don’t let the noise of other’s opinions drown out your own inner
voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and
intuition. They some how already know what you truly want. Everything else
is secondary.

BP faces Alaska oil spill probe
British oil company BP could face a criminal investigation in the US over a massive oil spill in Alaska in March.
The Financial Times newspaper has obtained internal emails which show it is under investigation by a grand jury.
The emails reveal BP has been ordered to hand over a number of documents and other data relating to the leak thought to be caused by a corroded pipe.
A spokesman for the company said BP would provide information showing it had acted properly.
The spill of some 267,000 gallons (1m litres) discovered at Prudhoe Bay field, is the largest ever on Alaska's North Slope region.
BP Alaska, which operates the pipeline, has denied claims it failed to maintain it properly.
Such an investigation by a grand jury could lead to criminal charges and ultimately fines and prison sentences.
Second probe
The spill was detected on 2 March and plugged. Local environmentalists have described it as "a catastrophe".
BP is already facing a probe into a blast at a Texas refinery in March 2005 in which 15 people died and 170 were injured.
BP said "management failures" and "employee mistakes" were responsible.
In 1989, the Exxon Valdez shipping disaster spilled 11m gallons (42m litres) of oil onto the Alaskan coast.

"In my opinion, the Gen Xr's ended up in two categories. There were the ones who had learned to be independent by breaking away from tradition and societies expectations and the others who had no idea how to take care of themselves and just wanted the trains to run on time. The ones in the first group feel very guilty about "letting" the world go to Hell and the ones in the second group are dead."

and I said...
"What I want from you most is TIME. We only have a limited amount of
time here planet earth. I could DIE tomorrow. A car could hit me and I
would be fucking dead, and then would you say to yourself "I should
have spent more time with her when I could." What if that happened to
any of us? It happened to one of MY friends a few years ago. And I
learned this from it, anyone you love could be taken from you at ANY
moment, that's the reality of life (I would think YOU of all people
would know this) so you can't live with the thought in your head that
you'll MAKE time later on. Guess what, you don't get to make time at
all, God gives each and everyone one of us a limited time here on
earth, so you better not waste one minute of it because God does not
wait for ANYONE when your time is up. So every second that you can you
should spend your time with those you love the most because one day
they won't be there. You will not live forever, I don't want to say at
your funeral "gee, I wish I could have spent more time with her." So
take your most precious gift of time here, and spend it with me more
because I miss you so much, don't you understand?"

Nothing hurts me more than to hurt another person, I'd rather let myself get hurt over and over again instead of hurting someone else to stop it. Its my last resort if nothing I say gets through to someone... My mom asked me whats wrong and I ended up being honest about my feelings, which I know would hurt her, because she doesn't want to think she did anything wrong. Sometimes the only way to get someone to understand anothers feelings is to make them feel the pain they've caused others. I hate, hate, hate doing it, and I've avoided it for too long...
I understood my moms needs when I was 13, so I let her piece her life back together and didn't ask for much. BECAUSE I understood. NOT because I didn't need it. When I ask for someones time, 12 years later I KNOW I'm not asking for anything I don't deserve.

I wonder how many people read my blogs and think I'm bitter? Hehe...
I don't hate modeling or anything, I rather enjoy the part where I get to be part of an artists vision.. and since I love photography, its even more fun to participate and new learn new things just by watching...
I just feel I don't fit into a subcluture thats based on how one looks. Thats all. As far as shallow goes... getting "your hot!" doesn't do it for me.... I need more substance than that.
At least the vast majority of gg fans that contact me are not idiots. Its all the myspace tools that contact any half decent woman hoping at least ONE will talk back to them.. eeeeewwwww....
now its time to get fat with coldstone ice cream....
May 4, 200622:12
So I always grew up knowing that my looks were definatly the least important aspect of my personality.. well, modeling have definatly proven that one. If the creepy obbesso weirdos weren't enough, watching peoples egos at play gets a little old.
I'm just not into getting compliments about my looks, because I don't care about that aspect of myself, when it comes to other peoples approval... And I've grown really tired of peoples egos. I'm not into my ego, I had fun (not really) being married to someone who was devoted to his ego....
I don't make freinds with people because they may have "connections".. nor do I make freinds with people who I think are selfish, shitty people. I don't make freinds with people because they have drugs or money or whatever... I make freinds with people for who they are and how they conduct themselves... The only time I befreind "shitty" people is because I feel the need to help them. That usually ends with me ending the freindship after they fuck me over somehow...
Yeah, so maybe if I felt uncomfortable with my body/looks modeling might somehow be gratifying for me, but since I don't need the feedback its pretty dissapointing to see how shallow people can be when it comes to someones looks.
My ex was right about one thing, he said to me "Whatever you do, never get stupid, you can gain 50 lbs, I don't care, but never get dumb." There is nothing I cherish more than my intutition and my intellect & passion.. those are my real gifts, my body was just a small bonus.

how about a screaming match to go with your easter desert?
hi. yeah, so today was sucky.. I went to my sisters house and my grandma was there and she just pisses me off (shes a miserable old bitch for the most part, who trys to be nice by being manipulative) and she was being extremely rude to my cousin who's parents don't speak to my grandma. She was saying just horribly rude things to her the whole dinner and consenquently my cousin, feeling very hurt left early. My cousin said something to my mom before she left about how my grandma was being mean to her. And as she was leaving, my grandma asks "Why is she leaving?" and nobody answered, and then she was like "Why didn't she say goodbye?" and everyone just looked at eachother, we ALL knew why she left, but no one wanted to say something. So I finally asked my grandma to go outside, she refused, and I finally was like, lets go outside... I confronted her about her rude remarks, and her reply? "Thats not my family." I was like, "are you kidding? " And THEN she proceeded to tell me that she also wasn't MY family, and that the people still inside were my family. Oh, I'd had it now. I told her she can't treat people like that and then she started to run inside and she walks in and trys IMMEDIATLY to bring everyone in the room on her side. And there is one thing about MY position in my whole extended family, I'm known as the very intelligent, weird, independent arguementative one who stands up for the mistreated, and is a sort of moral compass for my family. My mom trys to get me to not fight with her out of respect, and my grandma thinks shes got everyone to turn against me, but I tell them exactly what she said outside, and my family was astonished that she would say such hurtful words, and they immediatly started berating her as well for saying that my cousin wasn't family... she then AGAIN in front of them "She isn't family".. I got in her face and with my angry wrath-of-god voice (trust me, hell hath no fury like Erica scorned) and reminded her that my cousin was "that IS your family, that IS your blood, your DNA." And she trys to ask what has she "done to me to make me so mad at her?" I let loose a reminder that shes been dividing up our family for years and I won't stand for it.. At this point shes sitting on the couch yelling and crying about her feelings and how they were now hurt.. and I tell her shes completly selfish, and she starts screaming "I'm not selfish! I'm not selfish, how dare you?" And NO one would come to her defense at this point, everyone just watched because they knew someone had to say it, but they were just afraid of well, that happening, and most people in my family avoid conflict to the point of sacrificing their moral standards of what they truely know is RIGHT, I don't, thats why I am one kind of black sheep in my family. She then stormed out and waited for my mom to take her back to her house... I ended up calling my sister a pussy for letting her talk to people like that, just because she avoids conflict to the point of boiling points like this. argh..
On a good note I left and went to my cousins and she gave me 4 xanax and about 10 somas and some bud because I think I was still so pised I looked like I needed something..

Decked in neutrality for almost a billion years now, the Swiss are always the favourites to survive any nuclear conflict. Not only do they have the most amazing dress sense, but they've also got keen technical knowhow, a very logical cultural heritage and seventeen extra feet which they keep in their heads.
The Swiss are stereotypically associated with cuckoo clocks, chocolate, fondue and yodelling; it should be pointed out that they also enjoy running through the hills, goat farming and keeping the Earth safe from alien scum.

I admire the kids who have been walking out and protesting over illegal immigration the last few days...
The plain simple reason why I admire them is, when I look at those kids I see them actually doing something, and they are sticking together because they share a common belief of preserving their culture and trying to create a better lives for themselves and future generations.
And despite differences, and despite if some of the kids were citizens and some were not, they stuck together and walked out together and protested and GOT the attention of all the media and the gov't that they were NOT going to take it. And the public reacted accordingly.
We need to take this as a clear sign that WE can do anything if we stick together and work together to make a better future for ourselves and the next generation, because isn't that what we all really want?

I have to tell it again and again: I have no doctrine. I only point out
something. I point out reality, I point out something in reality which has
not or too little been seen. I take him who listens to me at his hand and
lead him to the window. I push open the window and point outside. I have no
doctrine, I carry on a dialogue. -Martin Buber (1878 - 1965) Jewish Religious Philosopher
This is a great quote. When I speak about my beliefs about the universe and the nature of reality, I am only speaking a dialogue, I'm not trying to convince and create, I'm only trying to pass on knowledge that was given to me through observation of reality. I am only a messenger.
Mar 19, 200622:36
ignorance, or denial?
I'm not sure what the problem is.. is it just plain ignorance, or denial? At what point are people going to actually do something about the world they live in and the direction it is going in? Is it going to take economic collapse (and its coming, my dears) for people to finally try and change things? And I allready know the answer, sadly, but I at least I can try and rally some people to just LOOK at whats happening right in front of them.
When the stability of the middle east collapses, and gas becomes 6-7$ a gallon and a fucking soda is 3$ you'll start thinking different.

allright. I don't think my freinds and family understand there is only ONE of me. I know they don't realize how many people I'm close to, because even I don't think about it unless I'm counting... I work 40 hours a week, and I even prefer to sleep 8 hours a night. everyone keeps getting mad that I don'at have the time to call or visit more. Since I usually hang out with people on a one on one basis... I usually see people one at a time.... and phone calls (which I mostly hate) are for when you need to tell someone something that can't wait...
so everyone keeps wondering why i don't call them more or hang out more.. and keeps getting mad at me since they feel like I'm ignoring them all the time... but its just I don't have the time to hang out and talk like I'd like to. I wake up at 8am, get ready and get to work by 9:30am then work till 6pm.. drive home and get home by 6:40pm or so...change my clothes, make/get dinner and eat by maybe 8:30pm, now I have 3 1/2 hours to spend with Jay, and do whatever I want till I go to bed... and I only have sundays and mondays off which I spend half off doing errands, and half maybe visiting someone who is telling me I ignore them.

Sunday, there will be a silent protest with various faith groups (from jewish, to muslim, to catholic, unitarioan universalists) first meeting at St. Pauls on 5th and nutmeg at 2pm, then proceeding to Balboa Park.. I encourage anyone who wants to make their opposition known to come and join me and Jay.. I know for some people a church might be weird, but we ALL have to stand together if we all have a common goal of fixing this mess.
"March 20, 2006, will mark the third anniversary of the United States invasion of Iraq. We believe as religious leaders of many faiths in San Diego, we need to speak with a common voice for peace.
Our various faith traditions insist that violence and war are a last resort and the war in Iraq cannot be called a just war. The war creates widows and orphans here and in Iraq, increases the risk of terrorism worldwide, and devours resources desperately needed for social justice programs.
Please join us by endorsing the platform and by participating in the Faith Leaders for Peace on Sunday, March 19th, 2006."

You fit in with: Spiritualism
Your ideals are mostly spiritual, but in an individualistic way. While spirituality is very important in your life, organized religion itself may not be for you. It is best for you to seek these things on your own terms.
Something happened last week... I came home and told Jay "my conciousness took a shit".
Now.. I've been in a perpetual state of stress that hasn't really stopped for about 5 years... and I recently cured the stomach problems that have been plaguing me for years... I had a wheat allergy. Thats it. Fuck.
After the stomach problems disappering in a matter of DAYS, I suddenly felt more calm and less stressed out... and then, it happened.
I was just walking around at work, basically meditating/thinking/dreaming to pass the time , & it was like a flash of lightening basically... all at once, you suddendly understand the true nature of reality.. its kinda like an orgasm, for your conciousness.. anyways... things are suddenly so different I've been in a weird little state for the past week... but for the first time in my life I feel true contentment... when you truely understand, there is no self, you are content.. and it is good.

I despise these people as well. These emotionally underdeveloped creatins. The lack empathy, and consider it a defect. They also ruin every single relationship around themselves and cause general chaos. They also run corporations and ruin the fucking palnet. ugh.
"Transcendence has been discounted by secular psychologists because they feel it belongs to the domain of religious belief. But Maslow himself believed that science and religion were both too narrowly conceived, too dichotomized, and too separated from each other. Non-peakers, as he would call them, characteristically think in logical, rational terms and look down on extreme spirituality as "insanity" (p. 22) because it entails a loss of control and deviation from what is socially acceptable. They may even try to avoid such experiences because they are not materially productive-they "earn no money, bake no bread, and chop no wood" (p. 23). Other non-peakers have the problem of immaturity in spiritual matters, and hence tend to view holy rituals and events in their most crude, external form, not appreciating them for any underlying spiritual implications. Maslow despised such people because they form a sort of idolatry that hinders religions (p. 24). This creates a divide in every religion and social institution. (Maslow. "The 'Core-Religious' or 'Transcendent,' Experience.")"

Shannon wrote an interesting diary... and so I responded to it....
This is right up my alley.. Shannon is explaning one of the mechanisms of my belief. let me try and explain in brief, general terms what I believe about God and humans.
First off, everything in nature follows a pattern. We can see this visually in shells and sun flowers... the golden ratio. Physics demonstrates this in fractal patterns in classic cause and effect experiments. There are constants in nature, and in math. Cell division. Animal behavior and plant growing cycles conform to this as well. And so does *human* behavior. Even though every fractal of cause and effect may be unique, it STILL has to follow a pattern. Everything in this universe is controlled by the same physical laws. (that is, if you believe in the string theory model of the universe, of which I'm speaking about)
What the hell is this pattern? Thats God. Its in every living thing, and non living thing, and it dictates how the outside world is shaped. 50% chance/chaos/random/freewill, 50% fate/purpose/pattern/instinct. Thats the world we live in... a world where God as you might say is omnipresent in everything. We are all connected. We are not separate from god. We weave a pattern in space-time as we move through space-time, thus "creating" reality as we know it. This pattern is built into humankind as well, but it constantly changes and evolves (hopefully for the better) as time passes..

Yeah, so my car hydroplained on the freeway and I flip around once... went straight, then flipped another 420 degress in the middle of the fucking freeway tonight.
I hit NOTHING, despite getting close to the wall twice, managed to pull my car straight and keep driving. It was scary. Time slowed down and I said "oh shit. oh shit. oh shit. oh shit..." Its weird how in the middle of my car spinning out of control on the freeway I can split half my conciousness into controlling the car and the other half into worrying about the 3 cars behind me and how close they might be...
On the way into my freinds house, hours before I spun out, I touched the door handle and remember thinking "I don't want to drive tonight" and I was worried about an accident happening (.... this just reminded me....)... and I reminded myself to be careful... and I totally forgot about the 5 car accident that was on the five, one of the cars was a tractor trailer 2 piece thing that one half was completely flipped over and the other side was right side up.... another part was an SUV stuck to the front of a semi, just fucking stuck together because the metal was so entangled.
I'm lucky enough to get intuitions about events, but its usually shitty, and either too close to the event or too far from the event for me to do anything to change it. Anyways... rain is sucky.

Under the Radar - news reposted.
TERRORISM -- BUSH SPEAKS ON OLD TERROR PLOT TO DIVERT NATION'S ATTENTION: In the face of growing opposition to his domestic spying program, President Bush yesterday tried to turn the nation's attention to successes in the war on terror by unveiling minor new details about an old report of a failed Los Angeles terror plot. The White House has engaged in a public relations push to argue that the terror plot is new information. In fact, just four months ago, Bush specifically pointed to the thwarted attack on the Library Tower in Los Angeles. Bush did not suggest that the warrantless surveillance program helped to prevent the Los Angeles attack, and "Frances Fragos Townsend, assistant to the president for homeland security and counterterrorism, declined to comment about whether the NSA eavesdropping helped to uncover the plot."
KATRINA -- BROWN TO TESTIFY ABOUT WHITE HOUSE FAILURES: Former FEMA Director Michael Brown, who previously "refused to answer even the simplest questions" about Katrina, will testify today before the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee. "I feel an obligation to answer any questions they put to me," Brown said. "The public needs to know the entire picture of what was going on." Brown's lawyer said his client would testify "about particular communications he had" with the White House, and Brown's "testimony will make clear...that senior administration officials, including President Bush, recognized the severity of the problem in New Orleans in the immediate aftermath of the storm." Congressional investigators have already discovered that the administration was warned about the severely breached levees earlier than it has claimed. Homeland Security Secretary Mike Chertoff has said he learned about the breaches on "midday Tuesday," but new e-mails show his department learned about the situation at 9:27 pm Monday night. "There is no question in my mind that at the highest levels of the White House they understood how grave the situation was," Brown said.
MEDIA -- 'TERRORIST SURVEILLANCE PROGRAM' - THE TRAIL OF STATE PROPAGANDA: A Feb. 9 Associated Press article adopted a variation of the White House's terminology for its warrantless domestic surveillance program, referring to it as the "anti-terrorist surveillance program," Media Matters reports. The phrase is both inaccurate, since the program has led almost entirely to "dead ends or innocent Americans, and imprecise, since it fails to note the key distinguishing features of the program (that the spying was conducted without a warrant and involved persons on U.S. soil). As ThinkProgress first noted, the phrase "Terrorist Surveillance Program" was originally used on January 1 by the right-wing website NewsMax.com. The White House adopted the term in a press release issued on Jan. 22, and President Bush first used it publicly in a speech the following day. Since then, conservative news outlets Fox News and the Washington Times have begun using the terminology. Media Matters notes, "Most news outlets noting the moniker have placed it in quotes or disclosed it is a term the Bush administration has promoted."
ECONOMY -- TRADE DEFICIT HITS ALL-TIME HIGH: "The U.S. trade deficit soared to an all-time high of $725.8 billion in 2005, pushed upward by record imports of oil, food, cars and other consumer goods." The trade gap between what America sells abroad and what it imports rose 17.5 percent from the previous record of $617.6 billion set in 2004. "It marked the fourth consecutive year that America's trade deficit has set a record." The U.S. trade deficit with China is at an all-high, as is our nation's trade deficit with Japan, Europe, OPEC, Canada, Mexico, and South and Central America. The Economist magazine noted this week that the Bush deficits are fueling global instability.

Sometimes i drive and watchs the hills engulfed in flames... And i watch days go by as we take one step closer to armageddon.
(PRWEB) - Duluth, MN (PRWEB) January 30, 2006 -- A group of distinguished experts and scholars, including Robert M. Bowman, James H. Fetzer, Wayne Madsen, John McMurtry, Morgan Reynolds, and Andreas von Buelow, have concluded that senior government officials have covered up crucial facts about what really happened on 9/11.
They have joined with others in common cause as members of "Scholars for 9/11 Truth" (S9/11T), because they are convinced, based on their own research, that the administration has been deceiving the nation about critical events in New York and Washington, D.C.
These experts suggest these events may have been orchestrated by elements within the administration to manipulate Americans into supporting policies at home and abroad they would never have condoned absent "another Pearl Harbor."
They believe that this White House is incapable of investigating itself and hope the possibility that Congress might hold an unaccountable administration accountable is not merely naive or wishful thinking.
They are encouraging news services around the world to secure scientific advice by taking advantage of university resources to verify or to falsify their discoveries. Extraordinary situations, they believe, require extraordinary measures.
If this were done, they contend, one of the great hoaxes of history would stand naked before the eyes of the world and its perpetrators would be clearly exposed, which may be the only hope for saving this nation from ever greater abuse.
They hope this might include The New York Times, which, in their opinion, has repeatedly failed to exercise the leadership expeced from our nation's newspaper of record by a series of inexplicable lapses. It has failed to vigorously investigate tainted elections, lies leading to the war in Iraq, or illegal NSA spying on the American people, major unconstitutional events. In their view, The Times might compensate for its loss of stature by helping to reveal the truth about one of the great turning-point events of modern history.
Stunning as it may be to acknowledge, they observe, the government has brought but one indictment against anyone and, to the best of their knowledge, has not even reprimanded anyone for incompetence or dereliction of duty. The official conspiracy theory--that nineteen Arab hijackers under control of one man in the wilds of Afghanistan brought this about--is unsupportable by the evidential data, which they have studied. They even believe there are good reasons for suspecting that video tapes officially attributed to Osama bin Laden are not genuine.
They have found the government's own investigiation to be severely flawed. The 9/11 Commission, designated to investigate the attack, was directed by Philip Zelikow, part of the Bush transition team in the NSA sector and the co-author of a book with Condoleezza Rice. A Bush supporter and director of national security affairs, he could hardly be expected to conduct an objective and impartial investigation.
They have discovered that The 9/11 Commission Report is replete with omissions, distortions, and factual errors, which David Ray Griffin has documented in his book, The 9/11 Commission Report: Omissions and Distortions. The official report, for example, entirely ignores the collapse of WTC7, a 47-story building, which was hit by no airplanes, was only damaged by a few small fires, and fell seven hours after the attack.
Here are some of the kinds of considerations that these experts and scholar find profoundly troubling:
* In the history of structural engineering, steel-frame high-rise buildings have never been brought down due to fires either before or since 9/11, so how can fires have brought down three in one day? How is this possible?
* The BBC has reported that at least five of the nineteen alleged "hijackers" have turned up alive and well living in Saudi Arabia, yet according to the FBI, they were among those killed in the attacks. How is this possible?
* Frank DeMartini, a project manager for the WTC, said the buildings were designed with load redistribution capabilities to withstand the impact of airliners, whose effects would be like "puncturing mosquito netting with a pencil." Yet they completely collapsed. How is this possible?
* Since the melting point of steel is about 2,700*F, the temperature of jet fuel fires does not exceed 1,800*F under optimal conditions, and UL certified the steel used to 2,000*F for six hours, the buildings cannot have collapsed due to heat from the fires. How is this possible?
* Flight 77, which allegedly hit the building, left the radar screen in the vicinity of the Ohio/Kentucky border, only to "reappear" in very close proximity to the Pentagon shortly before impact. How is this possible?
* Foreign "terrorists" who were clever enough to coordinate hijacking four commercial airliners seemingly did not know that the least damage to the Pentagon would be done by hitting its west wing. How is this possible?
* Secretary of Transportation Norman Mineta, in an underground bunker at the White House, watched Vice President Cheney castigate a young officer for asking, as the plane drew closer and closer to the Pentagon, "Do the orders still stand?" The order cannot have been to shoot it down, but must have been the opposite. How is this possible?
* A former Inspector General for the Air Force has observed that Flight 93, which allegedly crashed in Pennsylvania, should have left debris scattered over an area less than the size of a city block; but it is scattered over an area of about eight square miles. How is this possible?
* A tape recording of interviews with air traffic controllers on duty on 9/11 was deliberately crushed, cut into very small pieces, and distributed in assorted places to insure its total destruction. How is this possible?
* The Pentagon conducted a training exercise called "MASCAL" simulating the crash of a Boeing 757 into the building on 24 October 2000, and yet Condoleezza Rice, among others, has repeatedly asserted that "no one ever imagined" a domestic airplane could be used as a weapon. How is this possible?
Their own physics research has established that only controlled demolitions are consistent with the near-freefall speed of collapse and virtually symmetrical implosion of all three of the WTC buildings. While turning concrete into very fine dust, they fell straight-down into their own footprints.
These experts and scholars have found themselves obliged to conclude that the 9/11 atrocity represents an instance of the approach--which has been identified by Karl Rove, the President's closest adviser--of "creating our own reality."

erica says - hes not alive, this tape is totally fake. its a fucking set up for the next "terror" attack. You know the ones the gov't plans to get people so scared they'll give up their our rights? I'm sure we'll see this attack soon....
(01/19/06 -- DURHAM) - A Duke professor says he is doubtful about Thursday's audiotape from Osama bin Laden.
Bruce Lawrence has just published ?Messages to the World: The Statements of Osama Bin Laden,? a book translating bin Laden?s writing. He is skeptical of Thursday?s message.
?It was like a voice from the grave,? Lawrence said.
He thinks bin Laden is dead and has doubts about the tape. Lawrence recently analyzed more than 20 complete speeches and interviews of the al Qaida leader for his book. He says the new message is missing several key elements.
?There?s nothing in this from the Koran. He?s, by his own standards, a faithful Muslim,? Lawrence said. ?He quotes scripture in defense of his actions. There?s no quotation from the Koran in the excerpts we got, no reference to specific events, no reference to past atrocities.?
While the CIA confirms the voice on the tape is bin Laden?s, Lawrence questions when it was recorded. He says the timing of its release could be to divert attention from last week?s U.S. air strike in Pakistan. The strike targeted bin Laden?s deputy, Ayman al-Zawahri, and killed four leading al Qaeda figures along with civilians.
Lawrence believes faulty Pakistani intelligence led to the strike and the civilian deaths, and the tape was leaked by Pakistani authorities to divert attention from their mistake.
?It led to a failed military operation where America got blamed, but they people who are really to blame are the ones who provided the intelligence,? Lawrence said. ?I think this is an effort to say were not going look at this terrible incident that happened.?
Another element that Lawrence takes issue with in bin Laden?s latest message is it?s length - - only 10 minutes. Previously, the shortest was 18 minutes.

yeah yeah, hillary will be president in 2008.. I ALLREADY said that Laura Bush, & you sure as hell know, it won't be condoliza rice, don't be a liar... you and the clintons are all buddy-buddy.
WASHINGTON — Laura Bush predicted on Friday that the United States soon will have a female president — a Republican, and maybe even Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice.
"I think it will happen for sure," Mrs. Bush said about a woman in the Oval Office.
She made the comment in a CNN interview broadcast on Friday, the day before she leaves for Liberia to attend the inauguration of the first female president in Africa.
"I think it will happen probably in the next few terms of the presidency in the United States," Mrs. Bush said.
Rice has said she has no desire to be president when President Bush's second term expires, but Mrs. Bush said: "I'd love to see her run. She's terrific."
Mrs. Bush leaves Saturday night for Africa where she will visit Ghana and Nigeria to promote education and AIDS treatment after leading the U.S. delegation attending the swearing-in of Liberia's President-elect Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf on Monday in Monrovia.
Rice is part of the delegation, as is one of the president's daughters, Barbara, who worked recently at a pediatric AIDS hospital in South Africa. "She's interested in the policy surrounding AIDS and what we can do in our country and in other countries around the world to really stop AIDS," Mrs. Bush said.
During the 13-minute interview in the Map Room of the White House, Mrs. Bush talked about how she and the president try to comfort the families of fallen U.S. troops by saying that their service in the armed forces is helping to establish a stable democracy in the Middle East.
In another gesture of consolation, Mrs. Bush said that on Thursday she called to offer encouragement to the wife of Supreme Court nominee Samuel Alito, Martha-Ann Bomgardner, who left her husband's testy Senate confirmation hearing in tears, eliciting sympathy from senators of both parties.
"I think it's very important for the Senate to have a very civil and respectful hearing for anyone that has been nominated for the Supreme Court or for the other jobs that require Senate confirmation," Mrs. Bush said.
"But on the other hand, my family has been in politics for a long time and I think you do develop a thick skin. Does it ever not hurt? You know, not really."

I got knocked out in the hospital for the first time... concious sedation, that was weird... I woke up a few times to look on the screen to see my red guts all displayed... Diagnosis? I have a hernianted esphogus... where the stomach and esphogus meet, the flap on me is all fucked up, so it sucks my stomach, food and acid into my esphogus... (thats prolly what I'm throwing up when I do).. and IBS.. (but she hasn't looked at the biopsy, but its most likely IBS)... from stress. Yeah. My doctor says I need to relax... I can relax when my life is back in order.
I have jury duty tommarrow.. fuck. I need to call and get out of it. I FINALLY got my makeup back. I left it in long beach when I went to do a photoshoot for cardborad robot two weeks ago. Me, Melanie and Mary Moscow from godsgirls all went to the LBC to shoot an ad for cardboard robot. The ad is going to be in juxtapoz and vice hopefully. Thats the plan... ugh. work.

You know what insanity is? Doing the same thing over and over and over again and expecting a different result. So my ex husband after we broke up, pretended like he was going to commit suicide so he could get some girl to take care of him... she unfortnatly fell for it and ended up dating him for almost a year. They broke up 2 weeks ago. He allready has some poor girl calling him her bf like 3 days later.. and writing all these love letters about him.. ahahahahha (why doesn't he have her listed on his page, why does he still have sarah on his page?).
To quote her diary - "I couldn't have asked for a more patient, loving, intelligent, hilarious or amazing boyfriend. He's sleeping right now with his Batman and Hellboy sleeve hanging out of the covers holding on to what he can't sleep without." and this precious gem -"It's totally been worth dealing with the trial period to see if I'm good enough, which I think is still going on, but I completely respect and admire the desire to weed out anyone who isn't good enough or would hurt him."
Wow, way to spot a psychopath, and nice self esteem problem you having going there. Dude, I was married to the guy, we lived together for 3 years, I can say one thing for sure.. hes got serious mental and emotional problems... one of those things is being a pathological liar and playing the victim and seeing who bites the bait. Hook-line-and-sinker.
This is the person who threatened to kill himself if I broke up with him, I still am amazed at all the bullshit I put up with before I dumped him.... It was a fucked up relationship where I was at once a mother and at once a disobeidiant daughter. I felt like a single parent taking care of his physical and finacial needs... I felt like a counsler trying to deal with the ups and downs of a manic depressive. He was at once emotionally dependent on me and completely controlling of my every move.
There was good wes and bad wes.... good wes was the one we all liked, it was the ones his freinds saw. I was at home with bad wes, because both good wes and bad wes lived with me and not everyone saw that side... there was alot of turmoil in his freindships because of it. Many of them went through periods where wes wasn't counted as a friend. Wes is a genius. No doubt about that fact... he was intellectually genuis level, yet emotionally? I very selfish three year old child.. who really needed a spanking.
He used logic to rationalize his very selfish behavior... logic isn't reason enough to justify immoral behavior. I try to explain my ex as truthfully as possible... if he was a good guy I'd say it, I have alot of good ex's... he isn't one of them.. but hes a fucking smart motherfucker. But hes so selfish I'd prolly say hes what I'd deem "evil".... until he improves that horrible deficiancy... he'll never make it in this world.

I hate the internet sometimes.
I feel bad alot because I feel like I'm anti-social all the time. If you send me messages and I don't respond I'm not ignoring you... I'm busy and shy and anti-social but I read everyone and think inside my head "awwww... thanx" even if I don't rememeber to write back.
I hope everyone had a very nice xmas/holiday. Mine was good.. I didn't kill my family. I got a new dvd player, plugs, books, dvds and a 300mm lens for my camara.
Godsgirls will be doing the beta testing with the models very soon. I'm really super excited about that. We should be launching about 2 weeks after that, if everything goes well.
I didn't notice, but my first set went up on erotique digitale - http://www.erotiquedigitale.com/code/models.php.. its pretty cool to be part of a site along side models like masuimi, kumi, aprella, miss conduct, storm... I have 3 more sets up in febuary.
The patriot acts expires in one month. I expect another "terrorist" attack soon. Don't be suprised to see how far the gov't will go to protect itself.
Dec 22, 200523:14
So, anyone who knows me well, knows how I deal with my stomach everyday. For about 2 years I've dealt with heartburn and nasuea on a daily basis. My stomach just hurts... everytime I eat I have to wonder how my stomach is going to handle it. When I get stressed out my stomach just HURTS. I listen to Rush Limbaugh and he makes my heartburn worse.
Another thing about me, I stress out alot and rather easily. I worry about damned near everything and everyones well being. Its overwhelming sometimes. The nasuea is worse than the heartburn.... I get the urge to throw up easily.. but I usually don't actually throw up anything... mostly just hanging out near the toilet... if I'm upset this gets worse too... I don't really deal with emotional loss like most people, I accept it mentally very easily, but my stomach takes the brunt of it.
Instead of dealing with things in my head irrantionally that would bother most people to the point of being unable to function, my brain just kinda sorts through it mentally rather easily with little emotional impact, and I honestly deal very well menatlly, but oh my stomach, all that emotional pain/negative experiances goes somewhere and it goes there.
So, at 25. I have a divorce and a ulcer. In two weeks I see a specialist about my tummy.... hopefully I can start dealing with my stomach because 2 years is way too long to deal with this kinda of pain.

I'm totally a loser and I let my page expire for about 5 days... I went to the doctors.. I have an ulcer, I made an appointment with a specialist to check up on that and to see if I have IBS or something... seriously my stomach is a pain in the ass.... I finally got my modeling pictures back from kelly lind... and we got a new snake... and I found out when godsgirls is launching....

I find it funny sometimes listening to people express their feelings about one thing, or you when they get upset, when if you truly look at the situation and examine it, you realize they are saying exactly how they feel about themselves or that they are the ones they are chastizing their own behavior, without even realizing it.
Sometimes I just laugh, but sometimes its so irritating its not worth even trying to explain to someone because if they really believe these things then they aren't likely to see what they themselves are doing.
People do a good job not thinking for themselves and just floating along with the masses without even realizing it... actually becoming politically aware takes up alot of time since you actually have to read each day about developing trends instead of just getting briefed with 20 minutes of backround TV.
I'm far wiser to the world than people suspect... sometimes I'm not sure why god stuck me in the body of a 5'1" girl who looks like shes ten.. but I suppose jesus was a carpenter too. I'm lucky enough that those who know me emotionally know these things, but for the rest of the world I appear clueless... I guess looking this way has let me get away with far more than I would if I looked older/mature. ugh
Dec 11, 200523:10
I'm a nerd... the news is honestly what I find most exciting.. I think about and read/listen to the world news all day long and I seriously find it the most interesting thing in the world... I understand why people don't care and would rather watch the freinds dvd, but seriously... whats going on everyday throught the world is really interesting... even through there is alot of conflict going on all around, we live in a very exciting time.
My crazy ex husband hasn't changed at all... he goes around telling my freinds that *I* started a fight with his sister. No, that crazy bitch when on my myspace page and insulted me after the last time I even said anything to her was before we broke up. Wes has done such a great job playing the victim all his life, I almost think he actually believes the lies he tells people. Poor Sarah, she is dealing with the same "problem" I had... trying to convince people that Wes really is a good guy, despite how he looks/acts. Wake up dummy... people tell you these things because yes, you should have stayed with JP, yes, you can get better than Wes, and sorry dear, he allready once told me he was fucking some dumb girl in rollerskates that he worked with- "while sarah's away, wes will play." he told me one of the last times we spoke... Oh course I'm sure he called you telling you how much he MISSED you a few hours later. I think wes's future gf was away visiting her bf in england that she was cheating on with wes. Well, you get what you deserve I guess. Karmas a bitch.
I'm making a site with my photos on it on photsite for now until i et an actual website..... I'll unleash it soon!

and you thought you'd escape.
Awwww.... the joys of having seasonal depression. So I thought this year I was going good and I wasn't going to "get it" this winter. But no... I'm fucked again this year... Since about the age of 17 I started getting depression, anxiety, I've had forever, and that is another story... but depression is something that is more genetic(my father, more family) and chemical than anything else for me... BUT of course events/lifestyle can make it better or worse... (as in being married to crazy person=bad, dating nice guy/happily single=good) and winter sucks because it kicks in regardless of any outside influence.
I know its kicking in when I get more irritated than usual at little things that normally wouldn't bother me as much, I get more emotional/sensitive and tend to cry pretty easily (yes, I do cry rather easily hahah, I'm kinda retarded like that) when I get frustrated (people don't hurt my feelings very easily, I cry when I'm pissed at a situation usually), which of course I happens more easily because I'm more sensitive.. yeah, its a lamo vicious cycle.
Yeah, winter weather sucks. Even in San Diego.
Dec 4, 200522:19
Ugh.. today was irritating. I honestly can't believe how dumb some people over the age of 30 are when it comes to electronics. I don't generally ever have problems with people who are young and have a fucking clue about electronics. I tell this lady that all the camcorders take Mini DV tapes and those record for 60 minutes when she asks me how long the camara records for... then she asks about another camara, "well how long does THIS one record?" "it takes mini dv tapes, so its 60 minutes for the tapes." I get this blank stare... she then asks whats the difference between the 500$ one and the 250$ one.. I say "well, the image quality isn't as good on the 250$ one." she thens asks in a snotty voice "what do you mean by image quality isn't as good?" At this point with customers who I know are NOT listening or even attempting to undersatnd something new that I'm explaining.. I start to get this look on my face & tone in my voice that says "are you fucking kidding me?"... "it just does not look as good, you can tell the quality by the images" how fucking clearer do you need me to be...? If I said digitized looking, she would have been even more confused. by the use of the word "digitized."
Thats my biggest problem I have with my job, I have to try and simplify terms to people who couldn't tell a memory card from a floppy disk. Its not always easy to explain tech nerd stuff to people who have never used the internet. ugh... people.

Is it porn?
I find it so predictable that my ex-sister in law(why would you think I'm scared to fight you? I just think its retarded, but I'm in temecula alot, visiting people, and I assume you're back living at home..? I should stop by sometime...) and those closest to Wes pretty much have so much shit to talk about the fact that I do modeling (no Matthew, I do not do the same as Allison, Allison went to clubs and got spanked by other men so she could get turned on enough to actually fuck you, remember you whining about this?) for godgirls and other people.
No, I never called it art. No, I did not call myself a model. All I know is nobody is paying 12$ a month to look at your ugly mugs. I would love someone to quote me on this if they can.
What do I consider godsgirls exactly? Well, by definition, its nude modeling. But what IS it.... is it art?, is it porn...? is it trash?, is it a masterpiece? What do you think it is? I'm not going to tell you what to think, nor can I define what this is. The dictionary defines pornography as "Function: noun
: material that depicts erotic behavior and is intended to cause sexual excitement". Is that what Godsgirls and other sites like SG are made up of? Not really.... About half the customer base/audience for these sites is women.. and I'm sorry, we don't really masturbate to pictures much... but I know alot of the females are emotionally stimulated when looking at these pictures... (girls are weird.. what can I say?).... so I'm still not answering the question...
Of course, I know there are dudes having a grand ole time jerking off thinking all sorts of horrible thoughts about me.... but I'm sure the nasty fucks I work with do the same thing on some lonely nights. (yes girls, this is reality, guys jerk off once or twice a day, prolly thinking about you in some compromising position)...
But is it porn, is it art? I guess its what you make it... all I can define it as some sort of post-porn pinup thing. We are basically some sort of post-porn pinup girls... but instead of hanging in a soldiers bunker, we are girls that you can get to know and interact with through the internet. I don't know what we can define it as, because its not really definable in my eyes yet... so anyways... I get paid, and I enjoy it.. sorry suckers! What do YOU think it is?

Its hard to explain it, but lets put it this way, my mom, dad and my sister call her erica alot. My sister was doing it today... I lived with her for 3 months after I moved in with my sister after me and wes broke up.... Shes an interesting little kid, I wasn't as smart as she is though, shes what I would consider gifted, but I don't think my sister knows this yet, and schools don't recognize this kinda stuff unless she were in a program for kids like her... She just turned 3... but she doesn't act like a 3 year old... she acts like a little adult sometimes.. anyways.. I feel blessed on thanksgiving for family like this.

Endtimes? + Hillary is NOT going to save you.
Its weird listening to the radio, watching the tv and just listening to people... I guess its pretty obvious to alot of people that we are at a sort of tipping point right now and things are about to get a lil crazy worldwide. Gov't corruption is EVERYWHERE... not just the united states... History just repeats itself over and over and over... We are just going through another cycle and its ending soon and we are about to be in for some really big changes...
1998, the republicans took over congress and left our democratic president for 2 years with a congress that wasn't willing to work with him after 6 previous years over of democratic control and the ability to get Clinton's agenda done... Then, for 6 years (as in right now) the republican congress has done a great deal of passing alot of laws for his agenda... In 2006, the democrats will win (duh) the congress majority again, and Bush will be a great (shitty) position with congress being controlled by the opposing (not really, they have the same goal) party... in 2008 Hillary will get elected by all the morons who fail to see the big picture.. thinking "Oh a woman, she'll save us from the evil Bush! And everything will be okay....!" No morons. She'll ask for more power to the gov't (dems are pro federal gov't, republicans are pro states rights) so she can fix it and help the less fortunate. Our standard of living for the middle class has been declining since Kennedy was shot... more about this later..
The threat isn't "evil conservatives" the threat is globalization and the centralized power structure that goes along with it. A central source that controls all the worlds resources and all the worlds power is
what scares me most. Humans are corrupt, we have free will. Humans are selfish and since the beginning of human civilization people who seek power are usually those that come into power. And the kind of people who seek power are not the kind of people we humans really desire as leaders. Think about it... Fascism has come to America.... to quote a websiet on history..."These fascist politicians called for family values, a strong nation, a strong government, law and order, economic growth, and prosperity for everyone." Sound familiar?

Repost!
The most interesting part, of course, is that they didn't roll the footage of WTC 7's collapse - which was an OBVIOUS demolition. This footage still has yet to be aired by any corporate-controlled news media outlet.
When will the American public wake up to this? 9/11 WAS AN INSIDE JOB.
Questioning what happened on 9/11
Professor believes planes didn't cause all the damage around the WTC
FREE VIDEO
• Explosive theory
Nov. 14: Did planes really bring down the World Trade Center? The Situation's Tucker Carlson talks to one professor who says he has evidence that bombs might have been planted in the towers.
MSNBC
TRANSCRIPT
MSNBC
Updated: 1:51 p.m. ET Nov. 15, 2005
Millions of people watched the horror of 9/11 right before their very eyes, live on television. Two planes, crashing into the World Trade Center. Less than a couple of hours later, both towers, of course, collapsing.
On Monday, Tucker Carlson welcomed Brigham Young University Professor Steven Jones to the 'Situation.' Jones, a professor of physics, believes that the hijackers may not have brought down the towers by themselves.
To read an excerpt of their conversation, continue to the text below. To watch the video, click on the "Launch" button to the right.
TUCKER CARLSON: Well, just sum up this-obviously your theory, just the one sentence that I just explained, in the intro, contradicts what we all think we know about how these towers collapsed. Quickly sum up your explanation for what's happened.
STEVEN JONES, BRIGHAM YOUNG UNIVERSITY: ... What I'm doing, Tucker, is presenting evidence, but it's a hypothesis to be tested. That's a big difference from a conclusion, and so I just wanted to clarify that. But to sum up that I have looked at the official reports by FEMA, and so on... regarding the collapse of-yes, of these buildings. ...
I'd like to look at the collapse of building seven in just a minute. It was not even hit by a jet. So we'll look at that one.
CARLSON: The two towers. The explanation has been that the fire inside was so intense that it weakened the structural steel and that each floor collapsed down upon the next in a pancake fashion, and they imploded in on themselves. That's essentially, I think, what people think.
JONES: Yes, that's basically it, yes. And so what I've done is to analyze these reports.
I would like to do a little experiment with you, Tucker, if I could. I sent out a video clip of the collapse of Building seven, because most people haven't actually seen that one, and that's the crux of the argument.
CARLSON: Can you sum up very quickly the argument for us? You believe there were explosives in the buildings planted by someone, detonated?
JONES: Well, yes.
CARLSON: Is that correct?
JONES: ... There are two hypotheses here. One is fire and damage caused all three buildings to collapse.
CARLSON: OK.
JONES: The other is that explosives in the buildings may have caused the collapse. And so, then we analyze and see which fits the data better, and I've done that in my 25-page paper.
CARLSON: I want to read you a quote from the 'Deseret Morning News,' a paper in Utah, from you. I'm quoting now.
"It is quite plausible that explosives were pre-planted in all three buildings and set off after the two plane crashes, which are actually a diversion tactic. Muslims are probably not to blame for bringing down the World Trade Center buildings after all."
That's, I would think, pretty offensive to a lot of the people listening. Do you have any evidence for that?
JONES: Well, not-not to the Muslims, I might say.
CARLSON: Well, that's good.
JONES: I have a lot of e-mails.
CARLSON: I'm sure your writings greeted with just glee in Islamabad, and Peshawar and places like that. But for Americans.
JONES: Well, I haven't received notes from there, but just good people. I have Muslim friends. Let me read, for example, but I'm not going to let you off the hook. I really want to do this experiment with you.
CARLSON: We don't have a lot of time for experiments, Professor. But if you could just ... give us one thing to hold onto. How-you make these claims, or appear to make these claims ...
JONES: Tucker, sure, sure. Let's start with the collapse of Building seven. Can you roll the video clip that I sent to you?
CARLSON: OK. I am not sure if we can, but that is the World Trade Center. It's smaller than the other two it was not hit by a plane.
JONES: Let's try.
CARLSON: Of course, it collapsed.
JONES: Right. It's 47 stories.
CARLSON: That's right.
JONES: Twenty-four steel columns in the center.
CARLSON: Right.
JONES: Trusses, asymmetrically supported. Now, I can't see what you're seeing. Are we rolling that?
CARLSON: No. We just see the building. And just so our viewers know, the explanation that I think is conventional is that there was a large tank of diesel fuel stored in the lower level of that, which caught fire, and the resulting fire collapsed the building.
JONES: Well, that's basically it, yes, but as we read in the FEMA report, it says here, and I put this in my paper, of course. "The best hypothesis, which is the only one they looked at, fire, has only a low probability of occurrence. Further investigation analyses are needed to resolve this issue, and I agree with that."
CARLSON: OK.
JONES: But they admit there's only a low probability, and if you look at the collapse, you see what I have studied is the fall time, the symmetry, the fact that it first dips in the middle. That's called the kink. Which is very characteristic, of course, of controlled demolition.
CARLSON: Professor, I am sorry that we are out of time ...
JONES: Whoa, one other thing I want to mention.
CARLSON: Ok. If you can hit it - hit it quickly.
JONES: OK. All right. Here we go. Molten metal in the basements of all three buildings.
CARLSON: Right.
JONES: And yet all scientists now reasonably agree that the fires were not sufficiently hot to melt the steel, so what is this molten metal? It's direct evidence for the use of high-temperature explosives, such as thermite, which produces molten iron as an end product.
CARLSON: OK.
JONES: It's very short time, but people will read the paper, then I talk about the molten metal, the symmetry of the collapse, and the weaknesses and inadequacies of the fire hypothesis.
CARLSON: Professor, we are going to have to leave it to our viewers who are interested enough to follow up to do just that. We appreciate you coming on, even if I don't understand your theories, we appreciate you trying to explain them. Thanks.

Yeah, so someone (I'm pretty sure it was my ex sister in law) took the time to track down my parents email addresses and email them pictures of me topless.
Yeah, my parents were fucking pissed. But not at me. At the person who would try and pull this shit with me. My parents pretty much want to kill the person who would do this.... I love my parents. They would prolly be pissed at me if I made 9$ an hour and lived at home. But they aren't pissed at me because I make 30K a year and show off my boobies on the internet. So suck it, assholes.

Japan's health ministry has warned the anti-flu drug Tamiflu can induce strange behaviour leading to accidental death following the deaths of two teenagers who took the medicine, news reports said.
One 17-year-old Japanese high school student jumped in front of a truck in February 2004 shortly after taking the medicine, while another younger school student is believed to have fallen from the ninth floor of his apartment building this February, the Mainichi newspaper and Kyodo News agency reported.
The drug's Japanese distributor, Chugai Pharmaceutical, issued a report to the health ministry after the first incident saying a link between taking the drug and the odd behaviour that led to the death cannot be ruled out, the Mainichi said.
The ministry is aware of one of the cases and is warning that taking the drug may lead to abnormal behaviour and accidental death, Kyodo News agency said, citing an unidentified ministry official.
While Tamiflu carries a label in Japan warning of such side effects as "abnormal behaviour" and "hallucinations", the cases are the country's first in which strange behaviour linked to the drug has resulted in deaths, the Mainichi said.
Comment was being sought from health ministry officials.
The two people who died had taken Tamiflu to treat cases of influenza and neither exhibited psychological problems before taking the medicine, the Mainichi newspaper reported.
The Japanese government announced plans earlier this month to increase its stockpile of Tamiflu to 250 million capsules, from 150 million, over the next five years in a precautionary measure against a global flu pandemic.
Tamiflu is one of the few drugs believed effective in treating bird flu, which has spread from Asia to Europe. Japan hasn't reported any infections in humans by the H5N1 virus, which has killed at least 64 people in Asia since December 2003.
Most human cases of bird flu have been traced to direct contact with sick birds, but health officials fear the H5N1 virus could mutate into a form that passes easily between people, possibly triggering a deadly pandemic.

I like his work. I have a photo shoot set up with saryn angel http://www.sarynangel.com.. our theme is hot girl sundaes.. i think I'd do good for that one too...

I think at least part of me fighting with one girl was resolved.. thank gawd annaliese yelled at both of us basically... get the picture? You can't fight if you are trying to acheive anything, duh. There are battles to fight, but not those ones.
My crazy ex-sister-in-law tells me thats just because I'm in san diego doesn't mean I'm out of her reach or whatever, then trys to get my address. My ex husband threatened me when I told him I was cutting off his medical insurance, and says don't worry about what I'm going to do, worry about my freinds. Your freinds play d&d and live with their parents, and most of them are actually pretty nice and still talk to me, even if they don't tell you they do. I'm totally surrounded by crazy people.. I said it then, I would have no problems getting restraining orders against any of them.... I guess charlotte has a freind (not her dog, it might be a real one) who accused me of whining to the police...
my response?
"Why get myself arrested for beating your ass like someone should have long ago? Why not keep you and your family the fuck out of my life by using the law enforcement I pay taxes for? Oh, beacuse I'm not stupid."
When people say "get a life" they mean concern yourself with how you are behaving instead of looking at my life. I don't start shit with people but they tend to try and do it with me, and then I have to be a giant asshole back just for people to get the point NOT to fuck with me, I will NOT tolerate it. Then I get accused of being dramatic when I fight back.... I asked Gillian about this.. because I'm 25, we didn't use words like "drama" and stuff when I was in high school, I only started hearing the overuse of the word drama recently... and I said why do people fuck with me, then accuse me of "drama" when I say something back? All I can figure out is people want to start a fight, but don't want to be called the dramatic ones so they pin it on you when you respond..... I'm way too old for this....
Nov 8, 200513:35

Yeah! Me and wes went down and filed our divorce papers at the court! Soon we'll be officially free! I want the best for him and it makes me happy to see him one step closer to not feeling tied to me.. :) :)

me and jay went bowling the other night with johann and his wife... it was good time... seriously, like johann is so sweet and happy its fukcing amazing.. his wife was really nice and I'm glad we all hung out... I have pictures but they are downstairs in that freezing cold car so I'm not getting them.
Last night we went to go see Jarhead in the theatre.. it was definatly good.... except this rude loud bitch would not fucking shut up. I complained tol the managers about 4 times till they told her to shut up... after yelling all this rude shit out, during one scene the guys were pretending to act gay and she had to open her big fat stupid mouth and make more ignorant comments.. 5 minutes later she was on her phone. I could have just left after they gave me free tickets, but she was ruining it for everyone else and I was fucking sick of it.
I'll leave you with a quote.... To laugh often and much; To win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; To earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; To appreciate beauty, to find the best in others; To leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded. -Emerson

bitches hate me
Dude, all my life I've run into the same bullshit with women. If there is one thing another girl hates more than anything else is if another girl thinks they are better than you, and shows it. I swear human females are the most competitive species on the planet. I'm competitive, I know this.... but not with girls really, more like in work, and ability to do things well, or my ever present know-it-all additude. I rock something more important than any fucking outfit you can buy, and its self confidence... I can walk into a room and KNOW that you should be paying attention to me without making a sound. I'm a damned intresting person with a lot to say and an intresting life that I'm proud of.
I grew up taking alot from shit from people due to the fact that I look really young, I'm pretty petite and I'm quiet and shy. People seriously just like to give me shit because they think I'll take it. I spent 3 years in an abusive relationship which took alot of courage to be able to stand up to the person controlling me and get the fuck out... and after that, I wasn't intimidated by any one human. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger and I'm fucking steel now baby.
Its reasons like that some girls can't stand me. From junoir high I always have these like "rival" girls who always try to go after the same stuff/dudes I go after and I get the dudes/stuff and they cannot understand why they didn't, and they are so fucking pissed with me. I cannot tell you how many times girls tell their freinds (they never ever say it to my face) they are going to kick my ass if they see me. No, I'm going to look you in the eye when I see you in person and you won't do a damned thing because its all talk and I see right through you, you fucking pussies.
Instead of tearing me apart and trying to find flaws in my ass or teeth (I don't fucking care I'm HUMAN not a TV character stupid) why not try working on your own personality flaws and maybe you would acheive something with yourself.
(update!)
and for a response? I'm totally posting it here because its THAT good.
Whatever helps you feel better, you fucking lunatic.
You're not better than anyone.
Sluttier?
Maybe.
Better?
In your dreams.
I could quote you on all the bullshit you just said and it would be true.
Minus the failed marriage of course.
You're not the only one who's dealt with bad relationships or had girls hate on her.
So what, you're petite, quiet, shy?
That makes you a catch?
Hahahahaha.
What do I have to be jealous of?
I love how you mentioned your ass and teeth, hahaha.
I must of really got to you. :D
Get over yourself.
I don't hate you because I'm jealous of you, I was going to just send you a message to make sure you that registered with you.
But this blog title caught my attention, because well...
It's probaby aimed at me and you and I both know that.
I hate you because you're a liar, you're completely fucking dillusional, you're a drama starter, you're fake and you're full of shit.
I found it INCREDIBLE how you tried turned things around and said I WAS JEALOUS OF YOU and COPIED YOU.
Hahaha, my god.
Garrett and I couldn't stop laughing.
Are you serious?
Is that little world you live in that great that you can't deal with any form of reality?
You're about as interesting as the next slut.
Wes must count his prayers that he finally got rid of you.
Get a life, a real one.
Not some made up one where you pretend you're happy and act fake so everyone will like you.
I hate all the drama you bring.
Your karma must be amazing.
And I for one, am not a pussy and I'll prove that the first chance I get.

idiots!
Attention skanky losers - Modeling is a fucking job... treat it as such. Acting like spoiled little brats instead of working ptofessionals will NOT get you anywhere. I treat Annaliese like my boss because um, shes my boss. When she asks us to hand out shirts I will ask her how she wants it done. i do the same at work. When the girls need help ro rides I will help because thats what I do. I do the same for anyone who I think needs help. Its reasons like that make me successful in life... got it? Telling annaliese her makeup is "always so perfect" doesn't impress her.... show your boss what you can do and then you might "have this whole gg thing under your thumb." too, stupid.

Allrighty. Freaking awesome.. I have 2 photoshoots scheduled.. Matthew w/gabi on the 15th, and Kelly on the 16th.
I spent an hour talking to David on the phonre throwing ideas back an forth.. I will be sending him some pictures of ideas soon....
and its bigger than this... I let my intuitions guide me and its weird how thing I knew were going to happen or weren''t going to happen happened exactly as I felt they were going to happen. Its weird to listen to a feeling that feels like its coming INTO your head/heart instead of coming FROM your head/heart. Its even weirder when that feeling is always right even though I want to believe different. Its shitty when what you want isn't what this feeling is telling you is going to happen. Its good when things happen that are better than you could hope for.
And I said "well thats doesn't prove anything." And you proved me wrong.

My mom visited me today... we went out to lunch and then I took my mom to get her tattoo redone on her ankle.. it was all shitty and we went to chronic tattoo and it was basically redone. I then took her and her bf to the beach to take some pictures of them.. I rather like the way these turned out alot.

A cop just knocked on our door while we were in the middle of smoking a bowl. The cop honestly was far more concerned about jays truck... not all cops are bad guys, there are still some who got onto the force to help people. Jays car came out of reverse and rolled and almost hit a car... it was literally a half inch from another car. I told him he had a little angel looking out for him.. hahah.

"A business or a big corporation is a fascist structure internally. Power is at the top. Orders go from top to bottom. You either follow the orders or get out. - Noam Chomsky
Harriet Miers. Allright, you keep hearing the name, and you hear people are pissed. Why? Some conservatives are pissed because Bush made a promise to deliver about abortion. Some democrats are salivating over the idea that the republicans are going down, totally ignoring who and what Harriet Miers is.
Harriet Myers is a corporate attorney who has defended corporations like Microsoft, Disney, oh you know, the big fat evil ones. Wanna know her area of practice? Antitrust & Trade Regulation. Oh fucking great. So Bush, well, those in power, want to put a appoint a lawyer whos area of expertise is making sure big corporations can expand. Shes well known for getting the job done. So, a lady whos well known for getting the job done for corporations is trying to get on my countries supreme court to decide the nations most pressing issues? Thats NOT good.
My nation has turned into a banana republic without the public even noticing we've been robbed of everything our founding fathers strived for. America is just another shitty corporation... and its only getting worse. When are you going to wake up?
a lil research turns up....
a legal website profiling her.... Areas of Practice: Antitrust & Trade Regulation Litigation & Appeals
from her whitehouse profile "On numerous occasions, the National Law Journal named her one of the Nations 100 most powerful attorneys, and as one of the Nations top 50 women lawyers.
Ms. Miers had a very distinguished career as a trial litigator, representing such clients as Microsoft, Walt Disney Co. and SunGard Data Systems Inc."
trust your president "Few conservative skeptics are persuaded by the White House pitch. "They are asking us to have faith and to support the nominee. But on the other hand they are not giving us reason to do that other than saying 'trust the president,' " said Mark R. Levin, president of the conservative Landmark Legal Foundation. Bruce Buchanan, a University of Texas political scientist who has closely followed Bush's career, said that Bush's idea of a good Supreme Court justice may be more nuanced than many of his political supporters -- and opponents -- assume. While many social conservatives are motivated by a desire to end abortion or affirmative action, he said Bush may support those causes, without placing them at the top of his list of priorities.
"He was never a leader on controversial social issues," Buchanan said. "He has always been more concerned with centrist business positions."

The past two days have been spent with me fighting with my sister and mom over them not visiting me more than once a year. My mom is trying to make excuses and blame it on her job as to why she hasn't come to see me in my new place. Um, I've lived here since febuary... it will be november soon. My mom called my dad to try and get him to mediate, unfortunately for my mother, he took my side and told her she was being selfish for never taking time to visit me. I moved from OC 4 years ago, shes only been to my houses that are only one hour away from her about once a year. My sister is the same. I visit them every few weeks.. after for years of this bullshit, I'm starting to get pissed. My mom is being stubborn and trying to defend herself.. and my sister, who can't lose her babysitter defended my mom. My mom kept trying to use her job as an excuse.. she always criticizes my father for not being there when we were younger.
He was there, he just had business trips so he could pay for the shit my mom used. My dad supported my mom through school and she didn't have to work... yeah, don't feel too sorry for her.
I ended my last letter to her with this -
"At the end of your life, your not going to say "I was a manager at
work" you are going to say "I am a mother." When you look back at the
memories and your life, do you think about what forms you filed at
work or what projects you completed? No, you will think about the
times you shared with the people you love and how you affected that
persons life. You relive the memories and the laughter and your family
and friends. Somewhere in your pursuit for your career you may have
forgotten these things."

Friday sleepover at kaylas. Then we went a group of us went to go be dancers in the hollywood undead video. It wasn't all godgirls, but there was about 8 of us there.. those girls are all really neat girls. Seriously. The music was like, um, some of the worst music I've ever heard. I guess people who like this music like bands like mindless self indulgence. Yucky! The guys in the band were nice kids tho for the most part. The production crew was fun to work with. We ended up late to the second part of the set and missed it... ah well. Pictures... enjoys!
Oct 22, 200511:27
How did i end up here?
Yes its true. The godgirls are crazy, i just spent the night with about 8 of them in kaylas apartment last night. Now im in la filming some music video for some scenster band... Haha wtf? This is one of those how the hell did i end up here situations.

Wilma.. updated.
WTF, is no one really taking this fucking seriously? This hurricaine has measured as the most intense ever measured. They know that storms that hang out are scary, because it usually just means they get bigger. The flucuations we are seeing are normal. The lower the number, the stronger the intensity, Andrew was measured at 922, Katrina was 892, the great hurricaine of 1935 was 892 and Wilma? 882. People are telling me they aren't leaving?
The models aren't scanning it right.. scientists are a bit puzzeled about this one.....
I've been listening to XM's hurricaine wilma emergancy broadcast... and this is what scientists know.... hurricaines can sit and build up strength if they don't move very slowly... its passage of the yucitan will lower the intensity, but if you read below, they don't really know when it will reach florida... if it sits in the gulf of mexico for a awhile, regains strength, um, florida is fucked. The loss of life isn't the shitty part, its the loss of housing and job and industrial areas that cwill have the most effect. Katrina didn't cause all its damage by killing 2000 people, it did by leaving 500,000 or so thousand without jobs or housing. Get it?
track the data coming into the national weather reports...
IT
SEEMS PROBABLE THAT WILMA WILL STILL EMERGE NORTH OF THE PENINSULA
AS A HURRICANE IN ABOUT 36 HOURS... ALTHOUGH SOME OF THE MODELS
SUGGEST IT COULD LINGER FOR LONGER THAN THAT. WHEN IT DOES REACH
THE GULF OF MEXICO... CONDITIONS APPEAR TO BE CONDUCIVE FOR A
LITTLE RESTRENGTHENING IN THE SHORT TERM.
THE MODELS ARE IN REMARKABLE AGREEMENT... AT LEAST FOR NOW...
REGARDING WHERE WILMA WILL PASS OVER FLORIDA... ALTHOUGH THEY COULD
OF COURSE ALL BE WRONG TO SOME DEGREE GIVEN THE 3-4 DAY LEAD TIME.
SIGNIFICANT DISAGREEMENT REMAINS IN THE TIMING OF THE IMPACT ON
FLORIDA... SO THE WHILE THE CONFIDENCE IN THE OFFICIAL FORECAST HAS
INCREASED A LITTLE WITH RESPECT TO WHERE WILMA WILL EVENTUALLY
GO... THE UNCERTAINTY IN THE TIMING REMAINS LARGE.
Thats the last report. from a few hours ago at the national hurricaine center. If you are in flordia, get the fuck out.
Oct 20, 200522:55
I found this online... someone wrote it... it was good... I'm reposting. Feel free to do the same.
Famous evil geniuses like Julius Caesar and Adolph Hitler understood that the easiest way to win a war was not to fight one - not physically, anyway. These men understood that the most efficient way to dominate a people is to make them believe there are no other realistic alternatives, or, better yet, to define what is reality itself.
Caesar captured Gaul (roughly modern France) by inciting civil war between the Celtic tribes who inhabited the area, encouraging them to attack and annihilate one another to the point of total exhaustion by way of treaties that were impossible to reach. This allowed the future 'Dictator For Life' to march in to (and out of) Gaul not only a hero, but a savior as well. Through his divide and conquer techniques, Caesar portrayed himself to be the only assurance of peace, and through this campaign of propaganda, controlled much of the world.
An aspiring 20th century dictator named Adolph Hitler patterned his future empire along similar lines. Hitler obsessed on the idea of racial purity, and inspired racial and religious hatred to such a degree that an estimated 6 million people were murdered in concentration camps, many from the hands of their fellow countrymen. While isolating Jews, Communists, and “enemies of the State” as dangerous and treasonous elements of society, Hitler quickly eliminated the German (and several other European) people of basic rights of free speech, religious freedoms, and privacy. Then the dictator quickly eliminated all opposition to his regime via gas chambers and concentration camps…all in the name of national security.
By such masterful use of propaganda, Caesar and Hitler narrowly defined the problems of society while simultaneously portraying themselves as the only possible solutions, allowing both tyrants to win the first and most important fight of any war: the battle for the minds of the people. Through the same basic tactics, both men gained absolute control over their respective societies. Unfortunately, these tactics of control haven’t been relegated to a dusty history book…they continue to rage around those of us in America today.
The American culture of today is being assaulted along the same lines that Caesar and Hitler used long ago, and Americans are falling prey to such tactics in growing numbers with every passing hour. We are truly a divided people, who agree or disagree along party, ethnic, racial and religious lines.
Much like the priests of centuries past, no decision can be made without first consulting our appointed political or social “leaders”. We take sides with differing factions within our country, arguing about single issues that are presented to us and whose sole purpose is to divide us into isolated groups. Instead of meaningful debate about the future of our nation, we receive only distractions.
We thirst for truth, meaning, and freedom, but instead find ourselves wandering through the desert of distraction and confusion.
We seek leaders, but only receive figureheads. We have ceased being Americans.
We are conservatives or liberals. We are environmentalists or corporate interests, Catholics or Protestants, hawks or doves, black or white. The people of America are divided among many lines, ultimately under the confines of a system of right and left. Much like the German people of the 1930s, we are isolated from clear perspective. Much like the beleaguered Celts, we are so distracted by civil war of right and left, we aren’t aware of our country vanishing before our eyes.
The truth is, there is no right or left. There is only right and wrong.
These party bosses and ardent followers would have you believe otherwise. They would have you believe that right is whatever particular party they belong to, and wrong is the political opposition. This might be true if the “sides” of today were genuine. Instead, both parties and most mainstream organizations funnel into the same end result: total control.
While the left and right bicker publicly on “hot topics, " the end result is the same, regardless of who is President, or who is in control of Congress. Less freedoms for individuals, less sovereignty for nations, losses of jobs through insane international agreements like NAFTA, the dilution of American culture, and the over extension of our military.
It’s been said that if you don’t like what the Republicans are doing, vote for the Democrats, and if you don’t like what Democrats are doing, vote Republican.
It’s set up like a game. I have my favorite team, and you have yours. I’ll back my team no matter what, just as long as your team doesn’t win. The problem is, both teams are full of scandalous figures who are so busy selling you and I out for their own personal gain, they have no time or desire to help our country in this time of need. While we Americans are busy cheering our favorite politicos and jeering our least favorites, both sides are pursuing the policy of the destruction of America.
Some might say that this is the way it’s always been, that politicians say one thing and do another. Perhaps that was true fifty years ago, but when the observant person looks at the end results of all these promises and lies, the picture becomes much more clear and frightening. We are being sold out. We are being transformed into a society of complete control, where those at the top completely dominate and enslave those below them.
Americans are being herded into pens like cattle.
Why?
Because of the phony left-right paradigm that mentally enslaves us all. We can only blame ourselves for letting them do this to us.

I guess I don’t know why I haven’t written about this
before, but it keeps coming up in the news over and over, and I guess most people don’t understand why its so important. Allright… so we keep hearing about the avian bird flu, and pandemic… and whatnot. But what is scary, is what our government is trying to do about it. Bush (…or the people who have brains and actually control the gov’t) is trying to use the threat of this the avian flu to remove the Posse Comitatus Act of 1878. And what the hell is the Posse Comitatus Act? I’ll quote wikipedia for you -
”It generally prohibits Federal military personnel and units of the United States National Guard under Federal authority from acting in a law enforcement capacity within the United States, except where expressly authorized by the Constitution or Congress. The Posse Comitatus Act and the Insurrection Act substantially limit the powers of the Federal government to use the military for law enforcement. “
So basically it limits the gov’t from using the military to police civilians. Reason being? They sure did a good job helping out at Waco, Texas!!
“Gene Healy, a senior editor at the conservative Cato Institute, said Bush would risk undermining "a fundamental principle of American law" by tinkering with the act, which does not hinder the military's ability to respond to a crisis.
"What it does is set a high bar for the use of federal troops in a policing role," he wrote in a commentary on the group's Web site. "That reflects America's traditional distrust of using standing armies to enforce order at home, a distrust that's well-justified."
Healy said soldiers are not trained as police officers, and putting them in a civilian law enforcement role "can result in serious collateral damage to American life and liberty."
BUT, now our gov’t wants to use the bird flu as an excuse to further remove our civil liberties? Why are you trading your freedoms for the guise of security? And when will you stand up and say - "no more."

I can hardly beleive that I'm done having to work in temecula.. it was both sad and happy.. everyone said good luck. Wes's mom told me good luck... which is odd since I haven't really talked to her since me and wes broke up. Yes, I worked with my ex husbands mom (mother in law!) up until today. Weird eh? Seh originally got me the job with costco, so I feel very lucky.. so yeah, tommarrow I start at a new store which is really weird since I've been at my same place of work for 3 1/2 years now! Aww well, things are going good... I get one more raise coming this month and I'm now saving around 120$ a month in gas now.. sweeeeet!

"For one to be a revolutionary ... at all,
there must first be a revolution.
Isolated individual endeavor,
for all its purity of ideals,
is of no use,
and the desire to sacrifice an entire lifetime
to the noblest of ideals serves no purpose if one works alone,
solitarily,
in some corner of America,
fighting against adverse governments
and social conditions which prevent progress."

Wow. Thats all i can say. I know why i stayed and commuted for a year. Tonight at my going away party about 35 people from my work showed up to say goodbye.

Cheney warns of 'decades of war'
By Jonathan Beale BBC News, Washington
US Vice President Dick Cheney
Mr Cheney made a direct appeal to the American people
US Vice-President Dick Cheney has said that the US must be prepared to fight the war on terror for decades.
Addressing US military personnel, he said that the only way terrorists would win was if the US lost its nerve and abandoned Iraq and the Middle East.
Mr Cheney is the latest senior member of the US administration trying to bolster support for the war in Iraq.
On Thursday, President George W Bush will once again address the issue in a major speech in Washington.
Like other great duties in history, it will require decades of patient effort, and it will be resisted by those whose only hope for power is through the spread of violence
Dick Cheney
US Vice-President
The situation in Iraq remains the Bush administration's biggest challenge and all its senior figures have been brought out to defend the policy as public support for the war continues to slide.
Mr Cheney said that the threat of terrorism would be removed as people in Iraq and the wider Middle East took control of their own lives.
But he added, in a direct appeal to the American people, that like other great duties in history, it would require decades of patient effort.
'Civil war'
The vice president insisted that progress was being made in training up Iraq's own security forces, though he did not indicate how long US forces would remain.
President Bush has promised that America will stay on the offensive to prevent insurgents from disrupting next week's referendum on Iraq's new constitution.
But as the number of US military personnel killed rises towards 2,000, the grumblings are getting louder.
In a letter to President Bush, Democrat senators have warned that continuing on the same path in Iraq could lead to a full-blown civil war.

I fucking hate hypocrites and liars more than anything. I'll be the first to point you out if you put up some sort of fake persona. I find it REALLY funny my ex husband talks about how Suicide Girls damages the reputation of any pierced and tattooed girl because these girls are using their libidos to make money. He also pointed out that he knew from the start it was just about exploiting women. He continues up that he feels "sorry for these girls" for falling for that lie.
Are you fucking joking me? You don't feel sorry for anyone, but yourself. You think women are your possessions/objects for YOU, and your needs. Of course you figured it out, you are exactly like the owner sean, of SG. A verbally abusive, manipulative, arrogant asshole. You'd be doing the same thing if you weren't an overweight insecure little turd. You feel sorry for these girls? How often did you convince girls send you naked pictures of themselves (while we were dating/married) over the internet? How about the fact that you usually spent AT least an hour or two a day fucking up my computer browsing HARDCORE internet porn?! Gimme a break.
Hopefully the women/woman your exploiting right now figures it out before she has to go through the same shit I did.
Oct 5, 200510:55
Moms say the funniest things. My mom told me I need to start thinking about getting married and having babies! Hahahahaha... I'm not even divorced yet! My sister is on number two (a boy), and I'm 25 now and not married with no plnas of kids for the next ten years. My mom and sister met jay and my sister suprisingly really liked him. And anyone who knows my sister knows shes a snotty bitch and hates everyone for the most part.
I tried to explain the world is fucking falling apart right now and I don't plan on having kids anytime soon. She couldn't believe that things could get really bad in the next ten years... we made a hundred dollar bet. I told her it was the easiest hundred dollars I'll ever make.
Read/watch/listen the the world around you, and buy a bike.
We know warfare, tyranny, and strife. We have pitted neighbor against neighbor, tribe against tribe, nation against nation, and faith against faith. We have seen tensions rise. We have seen hatred boil over. And we have seen peace won at terrible costs.
Now we are faced with a global conflict that is so nebulous, so ill-defined and ill-conceived, that it may never end. All we are told is that there is our side, and there is the other side. That our way of life is at stake, and we must triumph at all costs. As the coffins multiply, we grieve our own losses.
But the horror of neverending war brings with it the chance for a truly global resistance.
And so we will create a new side – the side that wants to understand, the side that seeks out the root causes of our struggle, the side that will triumph over conflict itself.
We will devise a ritual to transcend the double-standard of grief, to transform their dead into our dead, and our dead into theirs. And then we will challenge those around us to do the same.
Two minutes is all that we need for this global ritual of reconciliation. On November 11th, fall silent for two minutes in honor of all innocent victims – in London, in Afghanistan, in New York, in Iraq, in Chechnya, in Madrid. Two minutes of silence, of remembrance, of reflection, to consider the choices that we have made and the path we will follow into the future.

I don't know what it is lately.. I've been really anti-social lately... I mean, I come home and hang out with Jay, but thats about it, I just honestly haven't really felt like talking very much lately at ALL. Which sounds kinda weird, but I mean I just have been observing the world around me and not really participating in it in a way I suppose... I feel bad for my freinds and family sometimes because they call me and want to see me and I always screen my calls and decide whether I'm going to pick it up and I just haven't wanted to go out lately.. i don't know why that is.. but maybe I just spent 8 months being out and never being home, and now, I just want to be home...

Yeah I came home to Jay and the plumbers. Now my house is all torn apart and my computer in on the huge table. A big rock hit my car window the other day too and I need to fix that one too. WTF?

Nice. I listen to xm radio at home, right now Russia's state controlled company Gazprom, just bought a independent company, Sibnet.

We bought all the ingrediants for the master cleanser fast... now we get to mix it all together and drink the shit. I also bought some cute shit at target. This shit doesn't taste too bad, for the most part, and I can definatly see this clearing my system out, thats for sure.. haha.

I got a haircut today, and no fucking joke, it took 4 hours. I spent 4 hours sitting in a chair, I think getting each piece of hair individually cut. Well, thats what it felt like. The guy was nice, and he did a good job for the most part, but I could have used those 4 hours of my life.
Sep 20, 200513:42
Jay went to go and get pizza, yum! I need to get the soda out of my car.. (done!) I should get my hair cut because I didn't last week and dye my hair too.. I need to pay some bills and work on my divorce papers (can you believe I'm still married to that scumbag? Don't laugh, it might happen to you). I think I'm going to try the master cleanser fast because quite frankly... my fucking insides need it. And if you smoke like 2 grams a day, and don't even feel THAT stoned, something is wrong. All that shit is stuck in my system, and needs to get out. Everything I'm reading, and how well I know my body(VERY well, unfortunatly sometimes), I think it would really help.
One of the reasons I think so many americans today have weight problems is simply a result of what our parents taught us as kids. What did your parents do when you ate meals from a young age? They told us to finish all our food on our plate, because it was "bad" to waste food. I used to fight with my parents when I was little because I would only eat when I was hungry and not eat when I wasn't. Animals don't eat at "dinnertime" they eat when their internal clocks tell they too. I always listened to my internal clock too, and well, it steers me in the right direction...
Everyday I wake up and my stomach is bothering me... why I can't go just one day where it behaves?

So we went to inkslingers, me and jay and tera went, I saw didier, rick and stan from IAM there too... I entered my sleeve in the contest, but I didn't win.. they only had one prize per contest and this one guy had a kick ass sleeve.. But the editor of tattoo mag was one of the judges and asked if I wanted to get photographed. So anyways, I got photographed for tattoo mag, which is kinda weird considering I was always hesitant to put my work in mags because people steal anything they see in a mag. But eh, you only live once right?

Got yelled at by another coworker today. Its funny, people get more and more pissed if you say "I don't care, sorry." when they yell to you. The easiest to piss off someone who is yelling at you is to laugh in thier face, which I did, until he finally came up with this gem, "you don't have any freinds back here!" Like we were in elementrary school. (2 of my close freinds work with me in the department and they laughed) I was like fuck this buuuulllshit so I talked to a manager. My manager told me it took a certain kind of person to stand up and say something when stuff is wrong... its nice when your boss knows your trying to stand up for whats right. I've done my best to be nice to my direct boss, but he keeps fucking me over. Its one thing to fuck up my schedule, its another to actually say to my face "Women are stupid." No joke, my boss said this to me. After being harrassed by the his lil buddy who is getting perfect hours (9-530 fri and sat off, no one has that!) and I work 2:30 to 11pm with tuesday and wensday off? I don't think so. Well, I'm sure he'll have a nice day at the office.

I bought an XM satallite radio and I finally got it set up. Its freaking cool. I can get the BBC radio and all sorts of crap like that. I also prefered the radio news to TV news since radio news for the most part is more accurate. Now we need to go and buy speakers for the system.... a pair of compoter speakers is all I need.
Sep 13, 200516:25
Eh, I need to turn off the news a lil... my head is starting to hurt. Plans include getting a haircut and buying good pot.
Sep 10, 200513:59
so I ask, have you turned on the news...?
So I ask my freinds have you turned on the news? and I usually get "no, its too depressing"... half of my country sits terrified around the tv at what the media portrays the world outside their little homes to be. The other half don't care enough about anything outside their own little lives to pay attention. That includes all my freinds who find it too "depressing" to understand what is going on in the world around you.
I hear the people who call themselves liberals and democrats and all those who say they care, screaming about all the people who voted for Bush. What the hell do you mean voted for Bush? One person did not win a political election with only HIS supporters. You can't win a game without playing another team right? Well what the hell happened to my team? Which of you even were regestered to vote in 2004? Why didn't my team get off its collective lazy ass on election day, to actually GO to the voting booth and stand in line to cast your ballot?! I've been regestered to vote since I was 17 and I've voted in every state and federal election, I didn't see you in 2000 at all, in 2004 I saw a few of you...
The structure that has come into power is the result of us just sitting around thinking someone else will take care of us. I mean the gov't and the media do a good job of making us think they would do a better job managing our lives if we just let them handle it. Just let us handle it, its safer, easier, more efficient.
At what point is it going to take you to realize these things don't come upon our state in fiery gun battles in the streets, they take place through legislative measures, quietly steering the media to portray a certain image of an idea. Since when did my generation believe that anyone else knew what was best for us as individuals??

"As Recovery Starts, Some Lights Go On, Some Mail Is Delivered"
By WILLIAM YARDLEY and MICHAEL LUO
Published: September 11, 2005
In stark contrast with the lawlessness that took over the city in the immediate aftermath of the storm, police officials said Saturday that they had fully restored order in this water-logged city. "We have complete control over the city at this time," said P. Edwin Compass III, superintendent of the New Orleans police. "I think we have had three crimes in the last four days. This is the safest city in America."......
further down...
Capt. Edwin Hosli of the New Orleans police, said the water seemed to be receding by about a block a day, allowing rescuers to go by foot into more areas. Captain Hosli said reports that the city would force out residents have mischaracterized their goal.
"We've been trying to tell them that this is not a good way for them to live," he said.
**F-LINK: d4rpui8-: hooray! the safest city in america!**
Sep 10, 200502:59
What people are failing to see here is that its not any ONE persons fault that our gov't is slow in responding to national disasters. Bush didn't build the beaucracy. Its been building since we started letting our gov't take away our power, because we were too damned lazy and stupid to try and take care of things ourselves. No one wants to deal with our social and economic problems. Why not let someone else take care of it? why not let the federal gov't do it, thats why we pay taxes right?
When you hand over any responsibility to a higher authority, you are also handing over any power as an individual. Think about that.
Sep 9, 200523:10
2nd what??
Are you fucking kidding me???? The gov't has taken away the citizens guns in new orleans. What happened to the second amendement? We created these laws, to protect us from exactly this in the first place.. but we will throw them away under the guise of safety and protection from our gov't?
This from the NY times.

New Orleans Begins Confiscating Firearms as Water Recedes
By ALEX BERENSON and TIMOTHY WILLIAMS
NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 8 - Waters were receding across this flood-beaten city today as police officers began confiscating weapons, including legally registered firearms, from civilians in preparation for a mass forced evacuation of the residents still living here.
No civilians in New Orleans will be allowed to carry pistols, shotguns or other firearms, said P. Edwin Compass III, the superintendent of police. "Only law enforcement are allowed to have weapons," he said.
But that order apparently does not apply to hundreds of security guards hired by businesses and some wealthy individuals to protect property. The guards, employees of private security companies like Blackwater, openly carry M-16's and other assault rifles. Mr. Compass said that he was aware of the private guards, but that the police had no plans to make them give up their weapons.
Nearly two weeks after the floods began, New Orleans has turned into an armed camp, patrolled by thousands of local, state, and federal law enforcement officers, as well as National Guard troops and active-duty soldiers. While armed looters roamed unchecked last week, the city is now calm. No arrests were made on Wednesday night or this morning, and the police received only 10 calls for service, a police spokesman said....more...

How bureaucracy broke down.
Two stories that came out today illistrate the politics that are at work. Did you know the red cross wasn't even allowed into the city to help the rescue efforts??? Doesn't it fucking make more sense to get ALLLLLLL the help you can get and worry about the politics and money of the organization secondary when your main focus is saving lives? And lets talk about FEMA now. FEMA is the Federal Emergency Management Agency, they waited 48 hours for rescue workers to get training before they could start any rescue efforts. Wow, sounds like your doing a great job managing federal emergancies. Since emergencies (like natural) disasters come when you least expect them, shouldn't everyone be up to date on their training in case something actually happens?
If you were trapped and feared for your life, and you needed rescue workers to save you and your family, are you worried about whether or not red cross appropriated funds or whether FEMA workers didn't have their workshop, you'd be all, get me the hell outta here!
Sep 9, 200501:31
Allright, some pictures I really liked that I think help illistrate my recent points.
This is new orleans under water.. AND on fire!
This shit is FUCKED up.
This dude would like to find his family.. good luck.
Thats alot of freakin people around the superdome. They don't have anything to survive now, what makes you think they will be back on their feet anytime soon?
Does anyone else see this? The national guard?
That guy is pissed and I don't think hes leaving.
And Finally! Lets look at yesterday -
This isn't republicans vs. democrats anymore kids.
Sep 9, 200500:45
see pics below.
What the general public right now is beginning to see is that bureaucracy(as a social structure) has failed its job to protect the people in the long term. People are starting to realize that more rules and laws and procedures to "protect" people fail in the long term. Let me explain why...
Ever work for a big corporation and you need buy something to run your buisines, like the other day when I needed batteries for my walkie-talkies. Now I can't just go into the till at work pull out 5$ and buy some batteries. I wouldn't pull out 500$ and blow it on weed and maybe buy batteries for the store, BUT my corporation doesn't trust me enough to allow me to open the till myself, I could steal, I could waste the $$ ect, ect, I'm not smart enough in their eyes(the managers at work.) to manage my own needs. So what do I have to do? I have to spend 40 minutes running around trying to find the manager in charge of buying the batteries, getting batteries, getting the pink expensive slip, ect, ect. Instead of just pulling out 5$ to buy them and distribute them myself, which would be a hell of alot easier, but I'm not smart enough to take care of myself without fucking it up, or so they think.
Thats bureaucracy and thats how it works, shitty eh?
My managers at work are the same as american gov't today. More laws, more procedures to "protect" us only make things harder to take care of ourselves effectively, which is why hundreds of thousands of people are homeless... more later.....

Well, they found 200 of them. They quit the police force. And the weirdest part is, the national veiw has shifted... 4 years ago they would have been deemed cowards, prolly worthy of treason to alot of americans in the wake of 911... today they are just seen as tired, stressed out, and human.
Sep 8, 200510:31
Hmmm.. The article I lined to has changed, looks like it was edited from last night. The paragraph about 500 of the 1700 of the police force is gone. 1/3 of new orleans police force is missing, 2 have committed suicide after seeing the devastation. One of the police force was shot in the head and one national guardsman was shot in the leg, neither was fatal. They were shot by the people they are trying to rescue.
CNN had this up last night at 4am when I linked the article. Its gone now. This is a big fucking deal. 10-15K people are STILL in the city. Its not safe and we want them out. (we as in the american gov't). People are allready atarting to use force to fight back. What do you think is going to happen when our gov't trys to take away the last hope these people are clinging to when we have to move them from their damaged homes?
Sep 8, 200501:35
I spend 2 hours a day usually driving to and from work every day and everyday I listen to the news on the radio for the most part. The radio news is definatly a different persepctive than mainstream media.. whether its slanted left or right, for the most part radio hosts tell a different story than what you'll find on TV. There is alot more out there, you just have to look.
Two things - Hurricaine Katrina is FAR bigger than we imagine it to be, right now. September 11th killed about 3000 people in total and the vast, vast majority of families who were affected were not displaced. Think about that. They know how many people will be estimated dead. 25,000 body bags were sent to the area.
My head is still trying to wrap around all this. My brain keeps processing connections and it either rejects or accepts them, the in pile is backing up you could say.
Off to photograph!
Sep 7, 200510:58
Alot of shit is going through my head right now and I'm trying to absorb it and contemplate and reconfigure alot of my thoughts. Todays plans are to go to my freind Ambers house and take pictures there.... We really need to clean too...!
Sep 6, 200520:18
ugh. My head hurts... I need to eat I haven't done too good today I got up at 2:30pm and started reading weird John Titor stuff all day. Call me crazy, but if the winter olympics get cancelled, I am getting the fuck out of here. This hurricaine shit is really bothering my psyche. Our nation is really getting divided over this.... I don't do very well in conflict situation as far as ignoring it mentally/emotionally. I listen to the news and read shit online and everything is just becoming worse and worse... It sucks, even if my day to day life is perfect I can't ignore the world outside my own and still feel okey with how I see things going. If the situation in New Orleans is any indication of our shifting america, then I'm a little scared.

Sep 5, 200511:34
Todays plans include going to my freind Ambers house to go and have a BBQ and hang out by the pool. Shes such an awesome person... I feel so lucky to have so many amazing freinds... Just the people I'm around are so amazing that everyday I'm so thankful to have these people in my life. What makes people truely happy isn't what they own, or how "successful" they were, its who they have in their lives to share their journey with.
Slamming fake nails up against shit really fucking hurts oh my fucking gawd. Don't get fake nails if you like being able to type well and the thought of having your nails ripped off little by little on a daily basis isn't appealing. But they look hot dammit.
I'm showing my photographs and getting way better of a response than I expected... I guess I fianlly understand why people don't use thier natural talents... it comes naturally, and you don't even have to try at it, so you don't think very much of it so when people tell you its good or to go into that field you brush them off. Instead of saying "hey maybe I should work on that natural talent." Taking my own advice is always the hardest to do.

Pictures... the fog on the beach looks cool thats the weird white shit in my beach pictures. Those two dutch kids were sweet. Sharon is as sweet as she looks.... can't always say that about too many girls these days, ya know? Anyways, i got covered in sand, but I love the ocean at night.

Awesome.. shannon featured my sleeve on modblog!... he emailed me when i sent it in saying he liked it... cool!
Sep 1, 200501:08
Me and Jay took what I'd call a day trip out to visit my best freind in san berandino.. it took us 3 1/2 hours to drive there... here are some pictures from tonight.
Just geeting Amber to pose was hard, but I got two good shots of her I'd say. :) Zoo included.

You know what, I planned on having this my little pony sleeve for about a year before I got it, but I totally thought it was a dorky idea and I thought I would get TEASED for it. Shhhh... I still have all my my-little-ponies and even the castle too... well I have about half of what I used to have I dunno, I recognize alot of ponies I usd to have from collections, but I have NO freaking idea what happened to them over time. At age 25, I still have at least 50 of them sitting on top of my computer desk. I played with them until I was like 11... (now I see 11 year olds on xanga with names like BaBy-LiCiOus and shit)...
So I find it totally ironic that I get more compliments on this thing than any of my other work put together, like X2. I literally get stopped in the street on a daily basis if I'm walking around with short sleeves on. I get messages all the time online from people "I love your sleeve!" and I totally wasn't expecting this because in my mind I'm still that kid who just loved to play.
**F-LINK: 1f0c8zv-: dude -my little ponys!**

Look! Its me getting skanky! I don't mean, skanky, I mean hot. haha. Anyways.. this was Jays photography lesson. Enjoy.
Aug 30, 200513:35
Jay is at the dentist, they decided to pull all 4 of his teeth today. He wasn't too excited about the idea. He said on the phone to me that he needed me to bring him some stuff and to meet him on 6th street. He was nervous sounding so I thought he needs to smoke a bowl, so I packed up a lil bit and he called me back so I asked, "what did you need?" "Some pot... I need to relax." hahahaha. We are a good pair.
We went out to the bar yesterday and we met up with some kids of SG... it was fun hanging out with some new people and getting outta the house.
We are supposed to go tot eh beach today if Jay feels up to it, and then I'm supposed to visit my freind Amber tommarrow.. then back to work. Pooh on that.
Aug 28, 200523:30
Things that suck - spilling my new eyeshadow.. by spilling I mean it opened up in my purse at work. It was loose eyeshadow, loose glitter eyshadow. Everything oh you know, IMPORTANT that I owned, looked like it was attacked by a gang of fucking fairies. Yeah that sucked.
Things that rule - learning you can get your songs off your ipod. Like in case your hard drive crashes. Like mine did. With all my mp3's. And your suspension pictures. So there is hope!
Aug 28, 200510:09
I totally tried taking a shower right now, and there is no fucking hot water. Great. Fucking old building.

Aug 26, 200522:27
Oh shit I totally forgot I added the info for inkslingers ball on the events page. - Click here fuckers.
Aug 26, 200522:14
I think my wireless mouse either needs new batteries or I'll throw it in the trash. its pissing me off. Same with the fact that i always have 8 billion bubble envelopes, until I actually need a bubble envelope and lo and behold, I don't have any! Why???!?!?!
These nails make it hard to type. I clean all day at work and don't want to clean at home, its gay.
My bf is so fucking wonderful I'm pretty glad Wes cheated on me... i prolly would still be with his sorry ass being unhappy.
Aug 25, 200523:18
Go me! I answered all my messages in my inbox... I try to answer all my messages... but I'm so bad at being an extrovert here... I'm really shy and I just watch people and never say anything to them because I'm really shy. I get alot of messages from people who i allready know and I'm so lazy about answering messages sometimes. Not good at being social!
Jay is writching around in pain because of his teeth but then again he isn't doing anything about them.. poor little thing. I need to go buy him medicine since he isn't gonna go out and do it himself.
Aug 24, 200520:13
Allright, me and Jay totally took pictures and I redid my tattoo gallery with updated pictures. Go look!
**F-LINK: zg2bvta-: redo!**
Aug 24, 200518:05
So we didn't get our email, so we have to do a phone interveiw and then video tape it while we are on the phone... haha. Oh man. We are gonna go out to dinner tonight. I found out someone I know/work with is in jail for child molestation charges. Crazy! Um, I died my hair and took new pics of my tattoos with my d-70.
Aug 23, 200520:21
I totally wrote a diary entry and it dissappered. My bf feels crappy still. Anyways. Me and Jay are going up to hollywood tommarrow to be interveiwed for that stupid show fear factor tommarrow. Haha.. yes that retarded show. They want a tattooed couple, so eh, we fit the bill. Erik (the lizardman) gave the ppl jays number and thery called him this morning.. haha. I got my nails redone and I need to redye my hair tonight too. Its a tad faded. By a tad, I mean its grey. Cool. Anyways, time to smoke a bowl!

Aug 23, 200502:14
Me and Jay went to Enigma tonight and hung otu with Didier a lil... we also ate falafal and totally forgot to return the movie to blockbuster. Go Us. Jay has learned I'm the master at saving money buying food, i mean who really shops by reading the price per unit? Oh, I do. My apartment is covered in beautiful flowers, i wish i had a picture of the new ones jay brought home. Yes, my lil skull covered bf loves flowers and brings them home to the apartment. :) My poor bf isn't feeling good. I'm trying to fix him but hes got tooth pain and I need more than one old vioxx and sea salt water to fix that.
I bought new plugs.. they are cute.. quartz crystal...
**F-LINK: 8wzbtxp-: nice plugs.. wanna hump?**
Aug 22, 200501:43
I am 72% Promiscuous.
I like sex and have a healthy sex life. I get just enough and know how to use my sexuality. Some people might have a problem, but that is their problem not mine. They just need to get more.
haha, thats actually a good description of my sex life...
Aug 20, 200521:17
Anxiety sucks. I woke up the other night, threw up because my stomach was upsetting me and tossed and turned. It sucks because it comes and goes and it starts to naw at my freaking nerves.. I'm lucky enough to calm down and talk myself out of anything like panic attacks but it still freaking sucks when you feel mentally shitty for no reason. I'm pretty sure my anxiety was inherated from my dad... I just kinda deal with it the best I can and move forward.
Me and Jay need to go grocery shopping. hes playing video games and i'm playing on the computer. Wow, we are cool.
Aug 18, 200523:22
And this is what I come home to. Its okay to say your jealous.

ewww.. don't read if you don't wanna hear about my sex life.
screw you ex bf who hates me.. I figured out my photoshop! Yeah! no more worries about having a good photo program on my new computer. Heres a picture of where Well(badly) Hung's suspension pictures are in case people don't fucking understand my computer DIED. My new computer uses serial ATA connections, my old drive is an IDE drive. This means it won't fit in my new computer unless I fuck with it, which I have no desire to do, instead I'll put it in Jays computer and get those pictures and all my MP3's off my old drive.
Um. I'm horny, and I'd like my bf to come home. We need to stop being sick or away because I haven't had enough sex lately. I need sex like a dude. My three favorite things are food, sex and sleep. My second three are internet, weed, music. I'm a simple girl. I don't require that much. I'm really fun in bed too.. hahha, except I don't fake orgasms.. so prepare to have your ego crushed. Oh man, I'm a lucky girl... I don't have to fake it with Jay.
Aug 17, 200517:49
I miss Jay. He went to work. He took off today at 9am with his backpack like he was on his his way to his first day at school. It was cute. I've cleaned and sat online for a bit. I'm being lazy on my day off. (edit: I'm not being lazy, infact I cleaned alot now). Jay brings flowers to the apartment.. its nice... I get to live in the city and have fresh flowers and a guy who picks up after himself. Ugh, I have a billion things that I always feel I'm lagging on doing, thats why i always feel stressed out.
I need to send in my divorce papers... I need to try and get my shit off my old hard drive, which will have to wait until Jay brings his computer over here. I have to try and get my version of photoshop working. If only my ex bf who gave me the disk didn't HATE me. Damn you!!!! Thats a plain funny story thats right outta a fucking movie.
Anyways. Flowers.

Aug 17, 200500:33
Me and Jay just finished watching Requiem for a Dream, AKA, don't do drugs. I'm all about that movie.... Me and Jay went out to Pizzaria Uno, which didn't agree with our stomachs. I had to go to work today for a meeting at 8am, which totally sucked since just driving to work takes longer than outr meeting. Then I got my car washed since it was really such a fucking embarrassment to look at, let alone drive in. I have tommarrow off and Jay has to go to work. Lame.
Aug 14, 200510:20
Me and Jay went to Kat's bday party and I ate a tiny kit of kangaroo until they told me what it was.. I then met Jordan and referred to him as "that guy" as in one of the writers for bme. As in "Oh, your that guy." We then discussed our evilness factor. He says hes pure evil. I doubt it. ;) I'm 50/50, oh I can assure you, half the people at my funeral are going to be like, "is she really dead? fuck yeah!" hahaha. time for work.
Aug 13, 200520:32
Travis totally jacked my page.. hahahhahaha... my bf is in tustin playing monopoly with those two while I'm sitting at home naked excpet for a sports bra (this really isn't sexy). I should smoke a bowl and take a bath.
Aug 12, 200522:40
I think I have found my soul mate!
I am in love. This man is incredible! He just goes with the flow, and he does what he wants, and he has the most amazing attitude towards everything! He is sweet, and handsome, and smart, and funny. He's everything a girl could ever ask for. I can't believe I have met some one so amazing. Forget Jay,

Yesterday we went to chronic to see if Jay could get tattooed... they were booked, but I talked to Dave for a lil and we talked about marrying crazy people. Yeah, oops.
Then we went and hung with my mom, Jay scared my neice.. hahahah....
Today i slept in super late and then we went to outer limits. We talked to ron and then he got his knuckles tattooed... Play Monster!
Aug 10, 200500:25
Jay got to meet my family today... I'm freaking too tired to really type much more...
Aug 8, 200523:32
Eh, I feel emotionally exhausted after today after all the bs with people being psycho, a health issue that I'm kicking myself in the ass for, and work is stressful too... when my boss is stressed out it shows, and it makes me feel stressed out too. I end up working at night alot with the dipshits, the two guys who, I dunno how they got into my department, but they suck... Neither of them are lazy, I can say that, but one has a learning disability and the other is ADHD bigtime. And I end up doing alot more than I should because the two of them just, quite frankly aren't smart enough to do alot of the job. And they got trained the costco method of training, sink or swim... I trained myself for the most part by asking questions or just paying attention around me. Its funny, I was so bored working on the front end, and I'm more stressed out and I have ALOT more responsibiliy but overall its alot more fullfillng.
Aug 8, 200523:24
Awwww! My little Tera is back on BME, you know you missed her....
Aug 7, 200521:35
I knew I would irritate Brett to the point of writing a nice fictional novel about my life on his page. Seriously, don't blame being homeless on "focusing on suspending people" or I will totally call you a loser. Anybody who matters to me knows the real story, dude, that whole post was crazy insane like not my life at all.. haha okey. Except for the part where I blame my husband on my failed marriage. Uh yeah, hes totally bipolar and cheated on me on MY BIRTHDAY. I'm justified blaming that on him me thinks. I have a few people blocked from my IAM page not because I actually think they can't read my page (its easy, your freinds can come on my page duh) but just so it makes it a lil harder than just being to click on it. And when I'm done talking to ya, I block your IMs.
Yesterday, after going to my corporate wage slave job where I test cosmetics on baby bunnies and dump radioactive sludge directly into the drinking supply... oh wait, I sell computers and help customers all day.. I got a call from Didier and me and Jay went to enigma and spent 6 hours cleaning and switching the stone and horn cases around. I was fucking determined to finish those cases before we left. I guess I don't mention enough how much I adore Didier.. the way he treats his clients and runs his business and most importantly how he is with his children... Yeah I'm well known for talking shit, but I just express my opinions about people, good or bad. If I think your mature enough, I'll tell you to your face the bad part, if you can't, me and my freinds will just sit around and talk about you. ;) I'm just mostly curious to get peoples perspective on peoples behavior, I constantly defend people if someone is saying something negative about someone that isn't true, even if I can't stand that person.
Aug 6, 200502:26
Am I fucking crazy? Has the whole world gone nuts and its cool to sue people you call your freinds? Over what? Pictures taken at your suspension event. BME is family. Well, it is for some people, and its always been for me. Thats not what I do to people I call family or even friends. I don't tolerate people being bullied, and guess what? I don't care how cool I am, and how many piercers I know or whatever people in this "scene" (its a fucking scene kids) think, I'm going to tell you to lick my ass if you threaten to sue me.
I know I'm not crazy or wrong on this one. Here, curious, read a transcript. I didn't get a response to anything in my last letter, but I totally got banned from the camping trip I didn't even really remember was going on. I'm taking my toys and going home.
Aug 5, 200503:25
I'm usually that pillow.
Aug 5, 200502:09
Then I was like, oh yeah I remember why I didn't talk to that person for a long time. I forget people are shitty and I try to be nice to them and be freindly, and hope, maybe they don't suck, and I was judging them too harsh (because there are people I end up liking who I hate at first), I'll be cool and try to be freinds with em... but no... I was right they first time, they still suck.
Aug 3, 200519:05
If anything has changed about tme the most from my realtionship wity wes is my tolerance level for bullshit. I don't have one anymore. I refuse to put up with peoples bullshit and I can't stand other people putting up with peoples bullshit. Any time someone is getting bullied or threatened or manipulated into doing shit they shouldn't it pisses me the fuck off. Even more so for people other than my self because I can stand up for and take care of myself but unfortantly other people can't.
When I'm threatened I don't get scared, I just get really pissed off instead. And if someone trys to bully me into doing something I shouldn't or don't want to do, oh man, I just do the opposite. Fuck that noise.
Aug 3, 200510:58
Fucking stomach. It tends towkae me up too many mornings, today was one of those mornings. Me and jay went grocery shopping then I cleaned up the house a lil and he fell asleep. We are totally gonna wash our cars today. I also want to change my oil and try and finish my divorce papers today.
Aug 2, 200515:27
I need to get off my ass and do something today. I did Tera's hair last night and slept all day since I had to be at work at 4am yesterday for post audit of our annual inventory. Nice, eh? I need to get my nails filled, and I need to change my car's oil. I also need to do laundry and go to the grocery store. Jay is watching a surf movie behind me. Hes so fucking adorable. I need to send in my divorce papers too. Oh man... need to be not lazy!

I wasnt finished there. Basically you are using ur bf, and me and my ex know if he would put down the rose colored glasses for one fucking minute hed see u for what u really are- an insecure little manipulative leech.

This diary entry is about maturity, loyalty and diplomacy. Alot of times my freinds fight/date and i get to be the mediator. And i cant be loyal or completely honest to both parties because of the knowledge that i know about the situation. BUT i help everyone and only want the best for everyone. And i know and will speak my mind when my freinds are dicking eachother over. I dont play the game where my freinds can do no wrong. Fuck that. And im allowed to see the good too and speak of the positive, thats not being two faced, thats being mature enough to see more than just one perspective in a situation.
so let me just be an honest asshole if u think u can handle it- you dumb selfish cunt. Good job ruining ur bfs life, because u are so insecure u are willing to fuck a few peoples lives up just so u can keep him around.
[Dude, I wrote this on my phone!]

It seems like i spend alot of time counseling people when it comes to relationships. Im glad i can be honest w some people and they dont take it personally. But yesterday i listened to one freind tell me shes not happy w men and then give me about 100 excuses on basically why she doesnt deserve better. When u stop making excuses on why u dont deserve better, including the tough realization that u too might need to evaluatate how u feel about urself. I had to say to myself 'why am i setting my standards so low? It was because i didnt think i needed to be treated that well. I had an epiphany in the car one day and said no more. And yes i earned a rep for being kinda a bitch because ill date u and dump u alot more quickly if im not getting what i want. But guess what? I landed a guy like jay.. To be cont..

Jul 21, 200521:52
Ryan came over last night, he drunk texted me that he was stuck in downtown and could he come over... I was talking to Jay and told him, so he was fine with it... and I let him come over, and we talked for a bit, he thought I was carryinign on some sort of affair with Jay. Wes thought I was carrying on something with Nathan, I'm mysterious, but don't let your insecurities get the best of you (wes/ryan).
I want my bf to come home from NJ....I miss him lots and lots. Even if he spends half his vacation on the phone with me.
Jul 20, 200522:03
I got a new haircut, and I totally like it. Everyone seems emotional today. Maybe its just me. I really like Gorillaz, Demon Days... I keep listening to that and Atmosphere, sevens travels. Those two are what I've been listening to. I also got fake nails. Thats a first. They actually look really good.
Jul 20, 200514:40
I cut my hair, and I totally hate it. Great.
update - I'm going to paul mitchell and to the post office.
Jul 20, 200512:41
I am totally covered still in black hair dye. So is my bathroom. But I was freaking sick of that two toned bullshit. I am far too lazy/poor to have my hair any other black. So its back to black... I need to go to the post office today and drop off daves and my grandmas package. I need to change my cars oil and I need to pay some bills.
I miss Jay not being around. Its boring without him here. I want him to come back from NJ.
Everyone talking about Keith reminds me of Jeff. I did a good job crying my eyes out today reading his page. See, I do have feelings despite what all my ex's say. Jeff suspended for the first time, and two days later he was killed in a motorcycle accident.

This is Jay doing a 6pt. 10ga knee suspension...

My camaras battery decided to take a shit right when I wanted to tranfer some of the shots I got today... This one is of Jay, who was a fucking champ today. Enjoy.
**F-LINK: 54orqgo-: dude I was there**
Jul 17, 200518:03
..
We are on our way to the well hung event in pasadena.. LA is way fucking hotter than my beautiful home in SD. Jay leaves for NJ tommarrow for a week. Totally lame. Boo on that. My d70 gets to get some exercise today. Allright enough car entry.
[Dude, I wrote this on my phone!]
Jul 17, 200510:27
Brian is still on my areo bed sleeping through me and Jay being loud. Yesterday Shawn and Kat were down at con, we all went out for overly priced seafood. Kat and shawn weren't in the best of moods after being at a funeral a few days ago. They just seemed really tired. Me and Jay just hung out at my studio. I ended up seeing alot of people... I saw Jason, which was nice, I gave him a big hug.... I don't think he knows his ex? wife's is the one wes cheated on me with. And all I do is feel bad for the poor guy. I knew, I got pissed and I dumped wes.. Jason doesn't know I don't think. Weird. I missed seeing johann and Dyan.. I never got to meet up with those freinds at con... I had a REALLY good time with Jay, better than any other year I went, which always seemed like alot of fights and I was never allowed to go where I wanted... either way... GT's.
Jul 16, 200523:23
So I went off my lexapro for a few weeks just to see if I was ready.. no I don't really think so, because right now I feel really anxious and I really don't know why. It kinda fucking sucks. I need to try and gte it monday when i go to work. Im worried about all the shit I need to get done and its not letting me focus, so in a way I'm not getting things done either way. Fucking stupid eh? Fuck anxiety.

Some comic-con highlights-
Jul 15, 200514:43
dude, I totally met seth green and creeped him out I think. Hes even smaller than me. Jay shot a picture and got yelled at. It was good.
Jul 15, 200500:58
So, me and Brian woke up and we took his stiches out at Chronic, then we went to in and out and then to comic con, we tried to get into the bruce campbell panel but that failed. BUT, right when we walked in we saw him, then again in the adult swim panel. Jay got fired so he came down to sd... he met up with us at con and then we went to the adult swim pitch panel. That was awesome, we got to see new shows that are coming out, then we got free adult swim sketch books. I also saw wes and his posse, which wasn't awesome, it was weird. I'm surrounded by east coast boys here at home.. I feel really lucky that jay's mine. okey thats about as gay as I get. haha
Jul 14, 200510:40
Brian is here.. hes sleepy sleepy... so I'll let him sleep somemore. I should take a shower... it sucks being outta weed too, but its good for my tolerance levels since having to smoke a gram a day was getting expensive. anyways, I need to shower and jay needs to come visit.
Jul 13, 200513:20
Things to do:
Get ready
drive to oc
pick up jays paycheck
pick up jays truck
errands?
back to sd
clean my house
brian comes over
Jul 13, 200511:56
So I leave Jay home while I go to work, I came back, and I had a clean house and my favorite flowers at home waiting for me. How awesome is that? I'd actually be jealous of me if I wasn't me.
The other day Jay says "hurry! come out here!" I open up the bedroom door to find travis in a sleeping bag and beach laughing at him, lord knows what the two of them were doing. I fell on the floor laughing, but still managed to take a shot.
Look my hair is brown.
Jul 11, 200510:36
This next week shall be fun and busy. I have to worktoday, but then I have till next monday off since its my vacation. Brian is coming to stay with me, then comic con, then on sunday its the well hung suspension which I'm gonna photograph... I'm excited!

Jul 10, 200504:10
Haha.. so i redid my freinds list since I always wanted picture ones like that.. I was always too lazy to do it. Anyways.. yeah so I counted, not including the bf... my freinds are 50/50 boys and girls. I'm not one of those girls who can't get along with other girls I have alot of close girl freinds who are really sweet, not a bunch of bitches I talk shit with. and most my boy freinds, not including the bme ones are a mixture of coworkers, ex bfs, crushes, platonic freinds who are like brothers to me.
I guess thats one thing about my freinds, I hold them very dear to my heart , and for the most part, if I make freinds with somone I try to keep them for life... but if someones shitty they get cut, but for the most part i keep em for life, amber, on my buddy list, I've known her since we were 12 years old. Shawn Porter told my husband over and over (this was a drinking shawn at comic con last year) that he'd known me since I was 16. Thats true, I used to post on rec.arts.bodyarts and talk in AOL's tattoos and piercing chat room., i'm oldschool internerd.. I used to pay 3$ an hour for dial up in 1995. wow, ten years. Anyways... i adore those kids.

So i totally got dumped and i totally deserved it, since i pussed out ending it when i should. Thats the first time thats happened since i was 17, go ryan. I guess i can add him to that short list of exs who hate me. So ends that chapter.

Work has been stressing me out alot... But I've been putting in a shitload of effort lately... I think what drives everyone crazy about me alot me alot, from my bosses, to my parents, to my freinds and definalty Ryan... I do my best in my efforts for the most part, but I will argue people to the death when I don't agree.. I'm opinionated and I'm not afraid to express my opinions when I disagree with something. Oh and I stand my ground and I am fucking stubborn as all hell if I believe I'm right. Me and my boss will clash at times, but I do what he asks me to do and I go above and beyond what he asks for (same goes for the rest of the people in my life). I leave people exasperated, but when they see the results they smile.

Jun 24, 200500:38
My face is like totally suffocating in snot. I can't breathe and its starting to piss me off. The asshole bus came today and dropped off all of our customers today. If I ask if you'd like me to try and locate a product for you at another store, say thanx or no thanx, not "Why would I want to do that?". I ended up being called away by another asshole who expects ME to fix his camara problems. This is not the fucking repair store, I do not know why your camara is retarded and won't read memory cards. The card he bought didn't work again, I said it could be too big of a size card for the camara. "Well don't you have a chart where it says what will work in what camara?" "No, we don't" "Well you should!!"
No asshole, you should read your fucking instruction booklet that came with your fucking camara that you didn't even buy from us. Or how about the recent conversation with this lady who didn't format her card so her pictures got fucked. "Well, the guy who sold it to me should have told me!" "Its in the instruction booklet." "oh who reads those." "Um, I do?" Ugh. Stupid!
Jun 22, 200522:28
So, I'm not good at break ups. I went over to get my stuff from ryans house, (again).. and I ended up bawling my eyes out and him having to hold on to me until I stopped crying. Yes, i do have feelings, contrary to popular belief. Um, so yeah.

My ex bf's are so weird ... from a letter today -
"Wait wait, before I go on - on a 'random-tidbits-of-information' note: Oh, how can I put this...I don't think your tattoos are that...horrible...compared to other tattoos...that are. Horrible, I mean. There's a compliment in there somewhere, I assure you. I was actually ramping up to get one there for like six sesconds when a buddy of mine drew one specifically for me...he put so much effort into it it was almost hard to say 'that's the stupidest thing you've ever suggested, you idiot, me with a tattoo? WHAT THE F..@K WERE YOU F&@ING THINKING YOU MORON?!', but not that hard. I'll show it to you sometime, it's probably something you would like. Loser."

I am 84% Evil Genius.
I am pure evil. I lie awake at night devising schemes of world domination, and I will not rest until all living souls bend to my will.
I am one of those people that love to hear the sound of their voice. That and my lousy attitude make for a mixture as toxic next-day-mexican-dinner-ass-drip.
The new cam is fucking awesome. These pictures aren't that great... but the first one was taken without any flash, and anyone with dig knows what happens with no flash, it doesn't show up for shit.. but this one picked up the light pretty good... anyways...
I got harrassed by some ghetto fucks in my work yesterday. They couldn't understand this wasn't the motherfucking swap meet and we can't "make a deal" on our TVs. I told him that he can get the price thats posted on the sign. He proceeded to get pissed and told he he got a discount(uh sure dude, this is costco, I don't even get an employee discount.) last week. I told him we don't discount our products, and that he was welcome to ask for one but he wasn't going to get one. He then asked me if I would "bet my job on that" that he wouldn't get one, I said "Yeah I'd bet my job on that." He proceeded to get all up in my face and sneer, "I'm going to get one, and then I'm going to come back and throw it in your face." What? Did a customer in my store just say this to me? Hell no. I will get 20 guys bigger than your ghetto ass to escort you the fuck outta here.
This guy was dressed in a tank top and basketball short with a scraggly ponytail covered in shitty prision tattoos and missing a few teeth. He was fucking ghetto dude. He looked like hes been to prison and whatnot. Well, he certainly wasn't expecting a 5'1" 105lb white girl to stand up to him. But fuck, I got more tattoos than him, and if my ex husband doesn't scare me, then his ass ain't gonna scare me. I pissed him off by standing up to him...
He then proceeded to try and sweet talk my manager Jason. But Jason was fucking awesome and told him that "she is absolutly right." He got shot down again, but this time it was by a 6'2" 220lb dude. We watched them for a few minutes until they took off. Go Jason!
So from getting hit on by 70 year old men, to getting harrassed by my ex husband in the middle of my work (which I never wrote about on here... its a good story too) and my boss randy had to intervene, to working with my ex mother-in-law (hahaha), to getting threatened by ghetto dudes, my job is still cool.

Congrats Wes! If I had any doubts that Wes rubbed off on me, dating Ryan shows me how much influence Wes had on me and how much of his personality rubbed off on me. The good, and well, definatly the bad. But my self confidence (which is a direct result of that relationship), extroversion, ability to effectivly argue a point, and my ability to be perfectly fine in conflict situations came from dating Wes. As bad as everything got, I would do it over again. I marry the fucker again and go through all that shit because it made me who i am today and I'm happy with that person. :)

Fuck you assholes. Today at work I was working the camara roadshow, which is basically like one of those booths that people sell shit from, but its at costco, and it was with our digital camaras. And so... scummy dude walks up, sets my camara alarm off (to distract me), I turn around to disable the alram for not more than 2 seconds.. and one of my camaras goes missing.. one of our 800$ SLR's. He hangs out around my booth for a minute and trys to ask me about this casio... he obviously had another guy with him (who took the camara and I didn't see him), who I didn't see that took the camara, but it was fucking obvious he wasn't there to shop. I tell my boss, he thinks I'm paranoid and that the camara will show up. Yeah it fucking showed up, the empty box in the cereal aisle. What pissed me off the most was the fucker hanging around my booth thinking I didn't know it was him, and LP laws prevent me from doing ANYTHING unless I actually see them do it. Fuck.
Fortunatly I didn't get in trouble because I was on top of it the second it happened and couldn't have done a damned thing about it either way.

My hair turned out awesome. My scalp is not happy. But three sessions of bleach and one toner+color my hair is blonde and auburn. My hair isn't fried either, its awesome. There are a few pieces (the lil spots n the front that I had bleached) that are fucked so I just cut, but it was just a few lil strips. I'm supposed to be getting my stuff and heading down to Ryan's, but lets make a diary entry instead!
My boyfreind said the L word. Whoa, thats scary. He treats me like a princess, but its still hard for me to let someone be this good to me because I'm usually the one whos like this.... aka, the good one. So I guess its my good karma but nonetheless, it makes me happy inside.

One more bleach, tjhis time the top too, it will be auburn, and then tone the blonde. Hot. Heres a picture from about a week ago.

Me and Amber played girly slumber party where we did eachothers nails and I bleached my hair. Loreal quick blue works pretty damned good, it went right through orange and turned the bottom half of my hair a bright yellow. More bleaching and K-pak for my hair.

So, this morning I found out one of my "freinds" was maliciously talking shit on me to one of my other freinds. If you have something to say about me, have enouh fucking balls to say it to my face. If I think you are fucking retarded, I will tell you. Girls make shitty freinds. My guy freinds may have this problem where they want to hump me, but at least they are honest assholes. I don't need you to be nice to me all the time, but if you have something to say, I can handle it.
I don't have time for shitty people. i have this amazing ability to write people off now that I didn't have when I was younger. Anyways, I have good freinds I should be spending more time with in the first place.
May 29, 200517:47
My poor bf... hes discovered my fucking wall. The nice big brick one I use to keep everyone out. I don't mean for it to be there, but it just is. I express my feelinsg through actions, because honestly, words are fucking cheap. Don't tell me you love me and try and get into some girls pants when I turn my back. (my ex's, my current is wonderful). I've kinda lost the ability to express those inner feelings and at the same time, I don't alwasys understand them, so how can I express something verbally I don't understand? I have a hard time expressing myself verbally on shit that I understand liek the back of my hand.. shit I don't know, forget it. Wes struggled with this one too because wes was very affectionate, where I hold back alot... Grr... frustration.

Oh thank gawd, someone just came over from work with a bag of pharmicutical weed for us. One of the main reason I smoke so much weed is to counteract the lover-ly effects of birth control and lexapro on my system, specifically the constant upset stomach and throwing up, like I want to do right now since I haven't smoked all day. Nice.
Yes I smoke alot of weed, but I tend to forget why when I'm not stoned. But my body won't let my ass forget.

My bf is wonderful, he treats me like a freakin princess. Finally I date someone who treats me as well as I treat the people I date. Pretty much all my ex's with the exception of my ex-husband still talk to me since I treat the people who I'm freinds with and who I date rather well. I tend to look at others happiness as being more important than my own, which is good when it comes to public service, but it can be unhealthy in relationships. Three years of it and you build up alot of resentment.

You scored as agnosticism. You are an agnostic. Though it is generally taken that agnostics neither believe nor disbelieve in God, it is possible to be a theist or atheist in addition to an agnostic. Agnostics don't believe it is possible to prove the existence of God (nor lack thereof).
Agnosticism is a philosophy that God's existence cannot be proven. Some say it is possible to be agnostic and follow a religion; however, one cannot be a devout believer if he or she does not truly believe.
My grandpa died on my dads birthday. He was one of the family members I actually liked. We used to sit and talk for hours. He offered to make Wes wooden plugs, since my grandpa had woodworking skills. I've learned most of my family is pretty artististic... my grandma paints and does crafty grandma shit and does decorating and floral arrangements. My grandpa did work wodding. My dad's dad was a professional photographer, and he did these pictures, glued to a piece of wood and he cut around the backrounds, leaving the people, then he mounted them so they stood up, he sold those until he died at 79. My dad was a musician, he sang and played guitar, he sells pro sound equiptment now. My dad can design and build things and hes really good at setting up electronics.. but like his dad, he was best at photography. My mom does her gardening and loves to arrange and do landscaping with flowers.. shes an emergancy room nurse, and right now shes the head of the ER department at saddleback memorial... my mom went back to school when I was in elementrary school, i used to remember watching her studying on the bed late at night. My mom lies to do crafty shit and give people personalized gifts using pictures and crap like that. I think my aunt tracy does crafty shit too, but I dunno know what, she can sing pretty well and was in her churches choir for a bit. (shes the only one in my family, extended or otherwise who ever really went to church.) My heroin addict cousin Alisa was actually a pretty decent writer. But then there is that part about drug addict. My sister, who looks like an uncreative, sheeplike product of bland orange county suburbanism, is actually at heart artistic too. She can actually write creativly pretty well and does crafty shit like make baby blankets and scrapbooks. I've always done crafy shit from jewelry making to ceramics, mixed media, and my real love, photography. Nobody in my family draws interestingly enough.

So I added up my bills and compared them to my income. And I came to the conclusion, I need a second job... I should be getting my raise in the next paycheck or so, and I'll top out in october... but, for fucks sake, I need more $$ now. I can always pay my bills, but I'm strapped for food money. damned commuting... I need to transfer or get promoted. Either one would be nice. I think I'd take a promotion and stay at my warehouse because I like and know the people there.
And thats the news for now.

People can talk alot shit about me. And if its true I'll gladly admit it because I know myself well enough to know my faults. But I can look at myself and be proud of the personality traits I do possess. I get the arrogant insult alot, but fuck, when most people would be self serving assholes and do everything in life to make themselves look good and get what they want and not care about others, I take the fucking high road sacrifice my needs and wants for others. I don't do it so people will like me, or to make myself look good, because the vast majority of the time I tell no one, because if I know I did it, thats all that matters. And I never pretend to be someone I'm not, nor do I tell people anything to make myself look good, I share myself so people can understand me, thats all, and that means the good and the bad. And I can look back at my life and know I fulfilled my duties as a human sharing this planet, and say "Most people would have taken the easy road, but I'm better than that." And guess what? It does make me better than you. ("you" meaning, the lazy self serving assholes who comprise their ideals on a daily basis). Crucify me all you want, but you still can't touch me.
Apr 27, 200519:15
Someone got a laptop today. But it wasn't me. I have an old computer that works especially well now that no one is looking at porn any longer on my computer. My moniter is a piece of crap, since someone decided to switch out my veiwsonic moniter. Fuck, no one is ever allowed to ever touch my computer again. I cleaned my house, we smoked the free gift and now I think we are going to ryans tonite to bbq ribs and I think hes gonna be entranced with that new computer for awhile. I think I'll be painting my nails. And I still want a fish tank.
Apr 26, 200514:06
Love makes people fucking stupid. I knew this when I was 13. Nothings changed. I told Ryan if he ever says I'm perfect, I'll throw up, and if he ever says the word "soulmate" its over.
No one is perfect, there aren't soulmates, and NOTHING is forever. There are only inveravals of time you spend in relationships with people. Even if you stay together 30 years one of you will die eventually and the other will still be alone. You are born alone, and you will die alone. Fact.
Sucessful relationships are built on mutual caring, respect, compatibility and alot of hard work. There are no mystical secrets about that.
On the other hand, everyone you meet is here for a purpose, and they have something to give you. People come into your life for a reason, unbeknownst to you at the moment you meet. Time tells what will play out.
Apr 22, 200510:46
I feel like utter crap. My tummy is bothering me and I have a cold...
I called my dad and just as I suspected, my uncle passed away. I glad my dad rushed us to go out and visit him, because it was only 3 weeks ago I was in florida. So combined with my cold, my quitting buying weed (I'm not smoking cigs because my cold too) and my lovely seasonal depression I called in sick. Thank you cloudy weather. I will prolly just sleep alot today and try and give my body a rest.
Apr 21, 200509:35
Time for another entry. I'm sitting here smoking, avoiding calling my dad for the bad news. I dropped off Ryan a half an hour ago... you can spend 48 hours with a person and miss then 30 minutes after they are gone. Wow, emotions turn me into a pathetic gushy girl. I congradulate myself on breaking with Wes by myself, I didn't have a psuedo relationship to cling to, he had sara who slept in his bed every night and I had a futon I shared with my sisters den. I had to go through all the emotions by myself with no one to hold my head and say everythings okey.
But good things come to those who wait. When two people treat eachother well its fucking amazing.
Apr 21, 200509:21
Well yesterday was quitting time. There is point where you go, "shit, I have a drug problem." Its even harder when you haven't any sort of rock bottom and you still manage to live a sucessful life. You pay your bills, go to work and do your daily chores, but then you realize, "shit I don't have any extra money because I just spent it all on weed." And thats no good. I'll gladly smoke if its around, but lord knows I can't buy it. Luckily my partner in crime has got the same deal going. I put away all my paraphenelia and I still think I have enough THC in my system to last a few days. Either way, word up.

2. a book
3. a musical artist, song, or album
B) I want everyone who reads this to ask me three questions: no more, no less. Ask me anything you want!

Ugh. My stomach is never good to me. Work was driving me crazy today. I swear if I have to deal with anymore moronic customers this week I may strangle a few.
Guy walks up to my counter, with a big sign hanging over it, that says "merchandise pickup." Shows me this I guess battery tester for hearing aids (I figured out) and says to me "how does this work?"
I say "I don't know, I haven't seen one of those before."
He looks at me all angry - "what do you mean? You guys sold it to me."
"Uh, no, we don't sell those here."
"The girl who works here gave it to me."
"Um, sir, I'm the only girl in this department, I didn't sell it to you."
"Ugh, what do you mean? I got it HERE."
"Um, did you get it next door at hearing aid maybe?"
"Oh, yeah, I'm sorry."
Well, I guess apoligized, which is rare for a customer who just spent five minutes getting angry and treating ME like I'm the idiot.
Time to smoke a bowl, and hang out with the boy.
Apr 15, 200520:25

I had the worst cramps last night. Luckily i had someone to rub my back and make me a sandwich. Its fucking to be with someone who puts in as much effort as i do. Pms makes me feel crappy. Yuck.

Apr 14, 200509:24
Ryan and Joe came over and we smoked hookah... Joe is a funny giggly boy and I need to find a girl for him. He also needs to get on IAM because yes, I still love IAM and BME. I am also very cool since I fell asleep at 11:30pm last night. Other than that, life is good.
Apr 13, 200518:31
Instead of finding jiffy lube I made a pit stop at the goodwill and ended up with 4 books and some vintage jewelry. Every woman needs a cameo necklace.. where I'm going to wear it is beyond me, but I needed one.
Apr 13, 200513:55
I cut and dyed my hair today and paid some bills and I'm gonna eat some food rather shortly. Enjoy -
Apr 12, 200517:38
I was busy today. I even added a photography gallery to my page. Have fun kids.
**F-LINK: o0cnhs5-: Yeah for being productive!**

Gawd, I've been lazy. I've been pretty broke, but my hermiting has been going pretty good. I just spent a hour and a half cleaning my car, I'm cobvered in soft pink foam, high pressured soap, and armor-all. I have errands to run today, but I should be all up on that. Its only 1030 and I've been awake for 2 hours. Oh my.
Apr 7, 200513:24

I dont always get what i want but i always get what i need. I took a nap at ryans house then he came over and fell asleep while i did laundry. I can leave my shit downstairs and my stuff is safe.. It makes me happy. So does my ipod and bong. I need to buy a calander. Egh.. I have to work soon. Yuck.

Ryan is discovering what its like to meet another INFJ. I'm a firm believer in myers briggs personality types... Its really weird when you meet another INFJ and you realize how much you have in common. Whats even weirder, me and Ryan scored the same on the preferences as well... Moderate introverts, intuitives, and judging, but only slightly feeling.
Either way, here are some pictures.
Apr 6, 200515:47
Why do you leave?
Its time for a shower. Dinner last night was good. Ryan was a sweetheart and helped me cook and clean. Hes laying on the couch making spreadsheets in pajamas. I want to work in my pajamas, dammit. I need to do my laundry today. My ipod makes me happy. Allright time to get going.
[Dude, I wrote this on my phone!]
Apr 5, 200517:28
I've been a lazy ass and I haven't done my dishes or gone shopping liek I need to. Instead I woke up damned early, put up some pictures and went back to bed and took a nap. Hahaha. Good for days off. I need to get food since I have Ryan, Joe, Amber and Nathan coming over for dinner. Lordy lord. All my boxes are finally out of my studio thanx to me and Ryans concentrated effort to actually take them out when we leave. And you think stoners are good for nothings. Silly you.
Allright, need to run errands.
Apr 3, 200520:28
I've been busy practicing my vanishing act. Luckily I have a partner-in-crime in san diego. I'm just so sick of everyones drama its nice to hang out with my freinds who don't have any unnec drama associated with them. Everyone else can basically suck it.

Good thing my flight arrived early since i get to sit in the godforsaken albuquerque airport for an extra half hour to make my total layover 2 1/2 hours. Im also w my bossy sister and a very awake 2 year old. Einstein says time is relative, i wonder what he'd clock this layover at. My tummy has been on the fritz all week too. My aunt gave me nasuea meds for the flight which helped. I took one more and a lexapro so i should be out by the time we board. At least this trip is over.

Swampland.
Florida is a gross swamp that looks like ca. Well orlando does at least. My family is getting along after i yelled at my sister last night. My uncle is a fucking trooper. Hes laying on his death bed but he hasnt complained at all. We are getting back from disney world right now. My uncle worked for them so we got free tix while he rested at home with my aunt. We come back tommarrow thankfully.

Our plane is late and this creepy dude keeps staring at me. I got more quality service last night at dennys. "would you like a refill?" yeah like 20 minutes ago when i was eating my cold food.

Eh, I woke up in a shitty mood.. But stephanie imed me, and we laughed about "you sure don't fuck like a 19 year old" and that put me in a better mood. After some thinking I feel better, its just those days like that, and dreading going to florida that are putting me in a shitty mood. No one wanted to hang out last night and I was all dejected or something.
I leave for florida tommarrow for 3 days to visit my uncle who is dying, nice. So yeah. I feel bad for my dad since its my dads last relative... no one else is left, no cousins, NOTHING. My family is pretty small I guess.
I guess most of all I am over people shit talking and not even knowing the real story or just assuming they know me. No one fucking knows me. Wes never even knew me and he married me. You can sleep next to a stranger for a few years before you leave.
Mar 28, 200522:40
Fuck it, I'm so sick of everyone. I'm in a shitty mood and I have to go to florida on wensday, I should really just call in sick tommarrow and get some stuff done. Some things are going to change around here.
I think I'm going to dissappear for awhile.

Thank gawd this show tonight is 21 and over. I hate teenagers.
Mar 25, 200502:00
Just got back from Matts house. I hung out at enigma today, i wnet and showed up then went to canes to try and buy my decemberists ticket, but the box office wasn't open.... that was try number 2, annoying, eh?
Then I got food for me and Evan from HTC who is doing a guest piercing spot for about 10 days. Evan brught his gf Ricki, who was sweet and we talked about cosmetology school. Jordan almost killed me in the rolly chair by dragging me into the piering room and knowing he'd knock me out of the chair when I hit the door jam, well, it worked. Jordans psuedo date showed up and Me, Didier, Evan and Ricki when to Matts, sans Matt. The night ended with blind date on spike TV which is always good.
**F-LINK: ae4kmwk-: I'm addicted to blind date too!!!!**
Mar 24, 200512:51
Its amazing how a certain little weasel who is completly out of my life still manages to cause problems. Ugh. Shitty dudes. Everything I learned about dating I learned from men. Buyer Beware. Now I'm clean, in a sweater jeans and slippers. Relaxing a bit and straightening some bullshit up.
stab.
Mar 24, 200511:07
Ugh, I hate girls. Girls are jealous bitches, who start shit with me. Yeah I'm usually the girl who lands that one untouchable boy that no one else can penetrate. I married Wes for christsakes.
I'm gonna go harrass Didier and jordan today at enigma. Thats the plans.
Mar 24, 200501:20
Some kids are getting yelled at for being shit talking bitches, I dunno who's who, but when its over some kids are gonna get CUT.
Mar 23, 200521:58
Fuck. I layed down with a headache and 4 hours laster here i am. I haven't done the bills or touched the house. Crystal called to meet her at the bar, but shes gonna leave if its lame, I was like, "uh just come over, I'm in my pajamas right now." ugh. Messy house!!!
Update: I cleaned up a bit, and Crystal came over, and now shes gone.
Mar 23, 200518:06
I went to Ocean Beach and Mission Beach and handed out a few more fliers to some kids. I need to clean my fucking house and do the bills.. gawd I'm so lazy hahahha.
Mar 23, 200511:31
Gawd, I have so many things to do today....
Clean
Go to Canes
take out those fucking boxes
pay my bills
family feels bad, sends ipod
take a bath
tonight? who knows
Mar 23, 200501:43
Hmm... so it seems the rules of opposites is true - the more freinds I hang out with the more enemies I tend to make too... haha.
Mar 22, 200501:37
Didier came over and we hung out. I talked to Teri Owens today, I called him and we played phone tag a lil, but it'll be nice to see him if he makes it down saterday. I told Josh that Emily was coming, Josh will be in CA, and he NEEDS to come over. I love him, hes my twin, and Johann is my brother. Josh just said "gawd dammit." Because he might not be able to make it down. I am way too excited about my freinds coming over... but it'll be nice to see them all in one place since I hardly ever see that.
On top of that, I made sure to block a few more people from my page. Funny, I have a bunch of people blocked, but I still have Wes read my page.
Mar 22, 200501:03
**USERNOT:didiers**
I had a weird flashback today, I ended up smoking a cigarette to avoid crying. You can still feel broken months later. Its was like some sort of post tramatic stress syndrome crap.
**USERNOTEND**
On the other hand, my brain formulates plans and calculates possible outcomes. Amber laughs when I say "interesting" which is usally what I'm saying inside my head when people are talking. When I'm listening, I gather the data and putting all the pieces together and storing it away.. shes like "you have a fucking database!"
dave "what are you listening to?"
me "bright eyes... come to californiaaaa!"
dave "come to california and listen to bright eyes? no thanks."
Mar 21, 200522:41
You know, once in a while Wes IS right. "Why do you talk to those people?" referring to the last 2 people who got cut. Funny, how it was those two he mentioned.
My housewarming party is in effect. Lots of calls. And messages.
Well since I have a life outside the internet I'm out.
Mar 21, 200515:22
..
I am fucking bad news. If you've been talking to me for months you should know im an asshole. I talk shit, everyone knows, but i'll say it to your face, just be prepared to handle it. Don't leave your cute crush alone with me and be prepared to hear my fucking opinion about yourself - two peices of advice if u hang out with me.

I hate the rain! Fuck an A! I hate it as much as I hate my broken moniter. We really didn't end up leaving the shop until 3am last night. I woke up at 9... tommarrow is Amber's birthday party and we are going to be camping in some place in temecula. Tonight is Stephanies party... I haven't seen her in ages I swear it, so I'm excited to see her.
You know, for as many times as my ass has been fucked over, cheated on, and generally been treated shitty, I still loves boys. I fucking adore men, regardless, because I never classify the whole gender, but look at each "case" individually... Even though, my 4 long term relationships have all ended the same way, (an attempt to cheat, or actual cheating) I still trudge along. My biggest problem is i go for insecure dudes with a hankering to "fix 'em" hahhahahahaha... you know, and I know, its just not possible. I traded my vw for a car that runs, I need to do the same with boys.
Mar 18, 200503:28
My septum is doomed. Forget it. Dammit.
I got to watch two punch-and-taper method surface piercings. I got to watch Jordan do Didier and then vice-versa. Jordan stuck me with an acupuncture needle, it was weird feeling.
Its shiny, its new, it glitters in my hands like broken glass.
Well I didn't get pierced, I hung around enigma for 3 hours while Didier pierced little girls and some crazy lady. I got bored and went home and took a nap then went to Crystals birthday where I got free food and yummy fruit tart cake. I have today off again, and I'm gonna get outta my house and see more of SD.
One life begins, one life ends.
Go congradulate Staci on her having her baby! She had lil Tristan yesterday or the day before.
I found out my uncle has incurable pancreatic and liver cancer. My dad, Sister and neice are going to visit him in flordia, April 1-3. So I'll be in Orlando for a few days. (thats me in the green dress next to my uncle on the left hand side.)

Where is my DSL kit and why doesn't my fucking phone work yet. I guess an internet break is good for me. I'm so poor that I bring cansd of soup to Jays house just so I would have something to eat while I was here. I'm sleepy all the time now which is funny, but its good, it keeps me healthier and it passes time. The lexapro mostly juts makes me sleepy kinda stonedish feeling, which is good, I don't mind that feeling. I had some weird dreams lately too... One was me and Wes were hanging out and juts being cool, which is weird since I haven't had a dream like that since before we broke up. I wish I had $$ to go out.. I get payed tomarrow tho... thank gawd!

Now then, I'm fucking good at figuring out why people are the way they are, and I can usually predict what they'll do or say next or whatever, but some fucking people, I still cannot figure them out. Some people are really open about thier crazy childhoods or whatever, and some people shut me down completely and I only get passing glimpses. I always wonder "whats your deal?" with people, and I quietly observe and occansionally ask questions, but I don't always get answers. Some people are good at shutting me down, and some are never really honest about themselves so I never figure them out...
**USERNOT:Silentwes**
Take my ex husband for example, I know exactly why he is the way he is. On top of that, hes fucking predictable. He rarely did anything that suprised me. I guess its easy to tip toe if you knew where the landmines were. **USERNOTEND**
But there are some fucking people who I never will understand. I never fucking figure out who they really are or why they act the way they do. No matter what they do, they just shut me down. Gahhh.. Amber is right. She fucking can figure me out like nothing. Its mixed feelings.

Its recently been brought to my attention that my ex husband is basically lying to people on IAM (I wonder what he says to real people) about our break up. Let me make things perfectly clear. My ass was cheated on, & I was the one who was treated badly to the point where I had to take prescription heartburn meds because I started getting stomach problems. Never mind the paxil and celexa. I was unhappy because I was taken advantage of for months, & then my ex decides to go extra psycho on me and trys to cheat on me with THREE, yes THREE different girls in one month. I found out and dumped him. Thats the fucking story.

I got to talk to Josh tonight briefly, thats important because I worry about him. I watched Anchorman tonight with Nathan.. hahahhahaha "a turd covered in burnt hair." hahahaha... that movie is good. Much better than the indie-suck film garden state. Good soundtrack, predictable dialogue and over acting. Yeah I get it, the drugs make you numb. All of us watching took psych meds, we know what they do. Things are looking up.

Here are some pictures.. me in my car.. me with Amber. Myrla, and Kyle and one of Myrla. And here are two maps which should give you an idea of where I'm going to be living in San Diego. So awesome.
Me and Amber got stuck in a ditch last night, and mt car had a root in it.. only us. Then we went and hung out with Myrla for a bit. Tonight was Apryls going away party. We talked about chicken and waffles and how good they are together. I'll miss that girl, she kicked alot of ass.

So.. I got approved for the apartment I wanted. So fucking RAD. I am moving to downtown San Diego in 10 days. I sent in my $$ to hold the place.. I'll be off of 4th and Elm. Here are some pictures from the place I am renting.. its an old art deco builiding with 26 studios which are pretty damn big inside. The bathrooms is super damn cute, its even got a clawfoot bathtub/shower... fuck an A I feel like I finally got lucky finding this place.
My rent is only 775$ a month, utilities included. Tommarrow I'm gonna put in my transfer to Mission Valley... I'm really excited about where my life is heading. Its a bit scary moving into the city and moving by myself for the first time, but when opertunities prsent themselves you jsut have to take them. <3

Jan 19, 200509:58
What to do!!!? Grr!!! Allright, my living situation is, I live with my sister, I pay 200$ a month to live here, and I have to commute and it takes about an hour and 15 minutes to get to work, taking the toll road, which is another 5$ on top of the gas for the day. (around $6.50 a day)...
My work is in Temecula, I don't want to live in temecula... But, I love my building (my costco)... I see pathways set out in front of me, but I don't know what to choose. I'm not putting my life on hold for any dude, so if anyone else makes another crack about the fact that Jay lives in LA... I will have to beat your fucking face in. Whatever happens with that will happen, so we'll see.
So my real choices are san diego and temecula... my option in temecula is to rent a room in house since they don't have shit for studios and I can't afford a one bedroom on my own there. And my option in san diego is really open to me, since there is alot as far as studios I can afford. BUT, I would have to transfer and I won't have my same job, I would have a sucky one prolly, like packing carts again.... lame! And I lose my senoirity for 6 months and have a craptacular schedula.. but! I live in San Diego. So.... hmm... What to do!!!!?
**F-LINK: ad1ennx-: san diego or temecula?**

Everyone sucks... I'm becoming anti-social again, and wanting to be at home lately again. It makes sense why, but I always find it weird when I do that, go from going out everynight to not wanting to leave the house.
**USERNOT:Silentwes**
Argh. I think I feel so setback about having to move back in with my family (my sister, not my parents thank gawd) that I am scared of failing. I get set back way too easy sometimes. If I fail at the tiniest thing I get all scared to try things again. I haven't been that way about relationships or moving forward in my life until recently... I constantly see possibilities and solutions to problems. Thats what my brain does, it comes up with plans and solutions constantly.. but its seeing lots of negative possibilities alot lately thanks to my best freind, anxiety.
I worry about shit easily because I can see exactly what can happen and recently I've been seeing too many negative possibilities and its scaring me back into my protective Erica shell... but I have to just get over the bad parts and see what could be in the good... life is all about persepctive, and if you can only see the negative when it comes to taking chances... you'll scare yourself into never doing anything.
I'm adapatable and have an extremely strong-willed personality and can do pretty much anything I set my mind to, but I get discouraged easily and think I can't do things, and when I actually try them, its easier than I thought, and no matter what situation I've been in, I have always been able to figure it out by myself without anyones help or finacial aid.. hehe. Every obsticle in my life has made me stronger, but sometimes I juts get lazy and don't want to put in the effort and want to whine about my life, but what purpose does that actually serve me? Nothing.
I constantly think, "well whats the worse that can happen?" And its been nothing but the negative possibilities. My last relationship left me pretty scarred emotionally in alot of ways. Being subtly manipulated and basically emotionally abused by someone is bound to fuck you in the head a bit. How I stayed with someone who enjoys hurting other people is beyond me... I know 90% of it is me trying to help someone, but at what cost? My fucking sanity? Ugh. Never again will I let someone do that to me, but my biggest question is, why did I not think I deserved better? I feel more than lucky about my current dating situation, but what took me so long to realize I'm worth more than that?

I'm becoming more and more antisocial lately... Nothing new... this shit always seems to happen, I fluctuate between going out all the time and doing jack shit. I got invited out by 4 people and I still didn't really want to do anything.. back to being tired.. hopefully I will start relaxing again.
Me and Amber from work had a good talk today... weird weird stuff. We always talk about weird stuf.. but that girl.. she has this way of figuring out your deepest feelings without you saying a word to her.. she described some things about me, to me that I've never really told anyone and I was kinda creeped the fuck out since it was exactly how I felt about certain things and nobody has been able to figure me out that well before. It was like she was inside my head... and no ones ever done that to me, I put up a wall and keep alot of people out and she well, ran right through that one... Shes got an amazing talent for figuring out peoples deepest feelings . Shes very accepting of these things, which is why she is so special to so many people, people at work just adore her... and if you get to know her, you understand why.
Sometimes I think people are just talking shit on me and that I don't have alot of freinds and I can get lonely easily.. but then people will tell me the nicest things about how they feel about me, or what they admire in me... but I guess I don't give myself enough credit... damn it!

I came in and took a nappy nap and here I am now typing. This shit is sticky. Oh my gawd I'm such a stoner when I write whole diary entries about weed.
Wow. This would be a diary entry about my GT's in vegas but I need a day to sort it through my head and get my pictures ready because I am still not at home yet.

Roomates are fucking retarded and lazy and I don't want to move somewhere that I'll just have to move from in 3 months. Fuck that noise. Seriously do not want to be living in this shithole. I dunno what I should do, I have options, but nothing that strikes me as a pleasent situation.

2004 - A recap.
Jan 2, 200501:17
I've had a good new years kids. I woke up today and got breakfast cooked for me. Then went back to bed and fell asleep. Its 1:25am.
Sunday and Monday next week, I'm going to Vegas with these two kids. Trouble. I haven't been since I was under 21. Awesome.
Tuesday. I went to Myrlas house and we decided to get drunk and play cards. Well, I been drinking and smoking all night and lost all my chips. BUT, I did learn how to play texas hold 'em. Awesome.
Wensday. Me, Myrla, and Kyle went to go see the life aquatic. It was pretty good. Jay msged me and said he'd in be anahiem, at the house of blues. We made plans to meet up... I went home, changed, and went to downtown disney. I cuaght the last few songs of the Violent Femmes set from the house ofblues patio. Garret was hungry, so we went to in and out, in placentia, right by my old high school. Then I decided, fuck it and I was going to drive up Agoura Hills. I made Jay drive with me. 5am lights out.
Thursday Layed around for approximatly 18 hours. Nice. I did see Issac's black eye on comedy central. Ate only one bagel.. I'll be back tomarrow. Note the turntable by the cat.

You call checkmate, but didn't look behind you, my queen is no match for your knights, your king, your pawns... she'll stab you from behind but aim for your heart.
I took your advice. I took my own advice.
You are in my heart, my veins, you flow through my blood.
I walked in and you had my top three stuck on the shelf.
It all comes in threes. Always. And it comes when I least expect it. Suprise, suprise... Everytime.. everytime...
Its done its settled. 2005. 2004.. surreal, is this really my life? my life... inside my head, inside my memories.
I'll drop you like a bad habit, and you thought I needed rehab for this. Modus Operandi.

I just sent out a bunch of text messages for xmas... my first xmas call was from Didier at midnight last night. I was so tired and tried to go to sleep.. but didn't until 5am.... then was awoken at 10am by my sister.. my dad came over and his present to me and my sister was a collection of all of our home movies on VHS.. he did them in chonological order.. oh man.. my dad really is awesome at gift giving... even if he doesn't have the money to afford gifts like he used to.... one tape is stuff of me and Amber when we were teenagers fucking around with the camra.. she needs to come over and get her gift and watch this video of us together from like 10 years ago.. hahahaha.. sometimes I feel so lucky that I have someone in my life that I'm grown up with for 10 years and knows me so well and knows my life because even those closest to me have no idea about my life and my thoughts and feelings on so many occurences, but at least someone is there to know me so well....

How to fall asleep in the pub /or How Jay trapped me in LA
So I went up to LA on wensday to Visit Jay and Garret... first off, the drive was pretty shitty... 2 1/2 hours of sitting in traffic and 87 mile later I end up in Agoura Hills. I guess the plan was to go to the pub, so I proceeded to start drinking.. beforehand, I ripped the present jay was so carefully wrapping into a monstrosity and displayed my skill at wrapping presents and using kite string to make it look good. We proceed onto the pub and hang out and smoke too many ciggerettes. Sleep.
Day two, Garret brings us home western bagels and we feast on the best bagels. We run around town and I go into a bookstore AND cost plus and manage to only buy tissue paper. Go me! Its too late to escape LA with he traffic now. We end up lost in the hollywood hills driving to their freinds house for a gift exchange. Dear Garret and Jay, your friend Ben is a stingy bastard, that fucking house and no food for us? Beat him. We proceed onto the pub and I was falling asleep at this time because we didn't sleep much the night before and I had been smoking at Ben's. I fall asleep on poor Jay. Being 6'3" has its advantages, mostly being able to reach in a sun roof to tickle your friends nose while they are sleeping. Giggles ensued. WHY DID HE NOT WAKE UP??? Sleep II.
I got the last bagel, suckas. New Years I will be in LA again. Jay was such a good host <3... its nice to hold a conversation and chain smoke. Garrets mom was also awesome. My sister took one look at my bed and said "how are you gonna sleep there?"
Dec 24, 200419:48
I hate the holidays. I haven't yet escaped the family.. but I like my neice.. shes a funny girl.
**F-LINK: ht8d14w-: hate holidays.....**
Dec 23, 200415:09
Dude, more western bagels. I need more of them. I ate three this morning. I shall eat more before Garret decides to eat them all. I'm still here in LA enjoying my time just chilling out and trying to sleep in late on my days off.. only one more day of christmas season, then its all over. Yes! I hate christmas so much, it is definatly the sucktacular. Well, its time for more bagels... more later.
Dec 22, 200414:47
Well, I have been recording new cds all morning I needed more music do I downloaded a shitload.... now its time for new cds... also I give my cds away alot... so I don't have a collection like I should, but I have enough mp3's the fill up half of a 20gb IPOD.... and thats not even if I ripped my cd's to my computer, it takes up 1/4 of my harddrive which is fucking small... I need to upgrade my computer.
Today I drive up to hang out with Jay and Garret wway the fuck up in la... but I'm so used to driving its not bad... we plan on getting drunk tonight. It shall be fun.
Showertime.
Dec 18, 200421:39
I am fucking retarded tired.. its only 9:30pm, but after 6 hours for sleep in 48 hours and todays 9 1/2 hour day atw work.. (my department alone did 100K in sales, with only 7 or so people working) argh.. i can't wait till the holidays are over. I bought a modest mouse ticket to see them in febuary at the wiltern, fucking awesomeness.
Last night was funny. My directional sense kicks in when everyone else is too drunk to tell me where to go it seems. Me, didier and Corey went to the bar... me and Didier talked shit on the drunks.. him and Corey got drunk, i watched. It was funny. The end.
Dec 17, 200401:03
Wow, I think cingular fucked up my phone bill. I dunno what its gonna be when it gets mailed to me. because when I view it right now online its like 300$ dollars, when I go to veiw bill, it shows my bill as 167$... I should really only be paying 80$... I guess we'll see when the bill comes in the mail and I have to fucking yell at some people. I hate cell phone companies.. god forbid you change your plan or it gets all sorts of fucked up.
Another thing Erica hates is Christmas. I fucking hate christmas lots and lots. But here is one thing that I adore about Christmas.. it gives me an excuse to spend way too much money buying my freinds gifts.... I adore buying xmas presents for people. Yeah!
El suck.. my anxiety has been pretty bad lately... I don't like change and I'm sick of moving around from place to place.. I haven't felt settled in years.. when my marriage apart I felt like my anchor had been ripped out from underneith me. Some days I feel desperatly lonely but I remember the love that my freinds and family have shown for me in this time and I feel safe and protected within them.. but it gets hard and some days I feel like I'm drowning.. I miss the stability that I had before, not so much because I had someone there, but because I had somewhere I called home... when I think about moving and AGAIN, and I think about money, AGAIN, I start to feel anxious... but I know I'll be allright, but I can't help but worry.
Dec 16, 200413:51
Usually I don't whore it up... but these pictures look pretty decent in black and white. (oh man are they old, look, no sleeve or finished chest piece) I censored them, because fuck, you have to at least buy me dinner or be really cute to see my boobs. I've been talking to one person about modeling for their site when it goes up.. they plan on having it more like BME and less like SG. As in, no fucking catty bitchy bullshit. I should get off my ass and actually take a shower.. oh man, ist 2pm and I'm lazy.. actually I organized a bunch of MP3's.. it was starting to get outta control on my computer especially since I am using soulseek again.
On another note, true love isn't staying with someone no matter how bad they treat you, its about respect, honesty and giving support. <3
Dec 15, 200413:40
Awesome! I'm going to visit thesetwo boys next week. I haven't seen either of them for YEARS. It must have been since I moved into the crack manor apartment. So it'll be surely nice ot hang out. Today I need to go to the bank.. I went to bed at 11pm, and woke up at 12am. Oh man. 13 hours of sleep after 4 days of 4-5 hours each. That seems to be my sleeping pattern as of late.
March is on. I will be moving back to temecula at the end of this month. I decided to move in this house with these kids from work... its three guys, Ryan who I work with in majors, Brian, who stocks in the morning, this girl Deena and this kid Steve who doesn't work at costco. These two girls are moving out because they just can't handle living there, especially with Steve moving in. I asked both sides to see what the real problem was, and why they were moving out... I basically determined that the two girls moving out are prissy bitches. An example, Ryans GF stays there alot, but she doesn't live there.. and they expect her to pay rent just because she stays there a few nights a week. WTF? His room is payed, and thats none of their business. Well... I should get aoof my ass and go to the bank or something..
Dec 14, 200421:08
There is allready drama between the roomates I'm gonna move in with... oh man. I said to one of them "you are going to get yourself in trouble..." and well, I was fucking right. I was honest, and open and didn't lie, and thats what matters. I hate when people fucking lie and I hate when people just back down and let people walk all over them. I try to not do either. And I kick myslef in the ass everytime I do... this time I didn't do either and I'm fucking proud.
On a better note, I hung out with Amber from work, and we just sat and talked in the car for four hours, it was nice to be able to talk to someone so openly face to face.. and a girl even. Awesome. We talked about how I have this tendency to settle. She doesn't date because as she puts it "its my way or the highway." and I definatly don't live by that philosophy... I believe in compromising above all... but I let things slide too much sometimes and I build up resentment and end up either dumping their ass, or hol ding on too long to something I need to let go. I don't know what part of me does this, I want to help people alot and thats a big part... and I know that I'm the better half, because when I date someone, I treat them like fucking gold. And I don't expect enough back... argh... and it always bites me in the ass... this diary entry is over.

trouble finds me.
Piece of shit Matt at work tried to get me in trouble today with a manager... he weaved a nice blanket of lies saying I wasn't listening to him.. guess what, I don't kiss ass, and I will tell you your idea sucks if it does, I don't care if you are the lead or the fucking CEO...fuck that guy. We'll see how this plays out. (I hope I don't end up stabbing that peice of shit in the face on my lunch break)
Friday, I got invited to a freinds party from work... oh man. There was like everyone from costco there.. and more. Someone brought mailbu falvored rum, and I discovered a drink Erica could drink! SO I proceeded to get fairly buzzed all night. We all had a good bonding session while drunk, which is always a good way to hang out with coworkers... most everyone came to work the next day FUCKED up.. not I... this kid Mike Denney had his freind stop by and he totally smoked me out, just me, I was like, WHA? Sweet! So I gave him a copy of my "The Good Life" album... there was puking (again, not I), and an offer on the table to move into the house and rent a room supa cheap when the two girls who I was trying to get to move in with me move out. I have 24 hours to decide. Still thinking... Anyways one of the roomates is the trouble maker, and thats the one I of course hung out with all night. The kid, Steve was funny. But TROUBLE. He fucks the other roomate super loud and drives the two girls nuts... well, it would be like living in Temecula gardens, except without the roaches or the part where I'm scared my car is gonna get broken into everynight. And cheaper!
Last night, was Crystals going away party, and it was nice seeing kids I haven't seen in a long time... I mostly hung out and actually got this kid Terry I've known for a long time to talk.. I've seen that kid at my house alot, but never got him to talk much, so we spent our time making wisecracks and I think it came down to somehow I would eat a moth for money (dude I totally would), but we would have to get donations and bets going, so Terry said he'd find me a huge moth, (compete with sound effects) my response? "The bigger the moth, the bigger the money." Ridiculous giggles ensued. I fell asleep and lost my keys in the morning, but still managed to get my ass to work. And even remembered to take the rest of my booze home.
Dec 10, 200400:48
Part A: You never really fucking change. You always fall back into the same bad habits as before, over and over and over again. I can vow never do to the same shit, and I still do. I can't take my own advice. I can't apply my judgements to myself. I can see the fucking string and I don't let go. I just build up anger and resentment towards people. I hate when I see the situation for exactly what it is, and I second guess myself. Everything plays out exactly as I say it will, and I see the fork in the road and I never take the right path. I never listen to the voice in my head. I ignore it and ignore it and ignore it. It doesn't go away. You build up armor, you build up walls, you shield yourself in ice, but a million locks and a million chains, some people can still find a way inside. I'm a fucking iceberg disguised as a girl.
Part B: Why aren't you here right now? The last thing you said to me was "<3". I don't want to hear that. I want to hear you are okey, that you changed your mind, that turning 25 isn't an end. You are a fucking train wreck and I'm an emergency crew. I try and build you a new track, a new road, but nothing will fix the engine, the boxcar, the conductor. December 10th is not a good day. Not 1979, not 2004. Long distance drunk and a buzzing phone. I'd rather sit on the phone and hear "hold on" every five minutes than worry in your absence. I will call you tomarrow and hope to hear "whhhaat?"
Dec 9, 200415:04
Haha, I'm dumb, this picture almost made it as a cover.. not an actual cover...! That makes two almosts and one actual cover that I have shot. Go me :)
My tummy is fucking being a little bitch today. Yucka. I actually did my hair and makeup today. I went to MAC and bought powder, since I know it'll last me forever, why not spend money to get a decent product... there is such a huge difference in makeup and hair product quality when you jump from drug store brand to professional brand. But aquanet hairspray is still better than anything I've seen. Stupid stomach. I hate you lots.
Dec 9, 200412:30
I took some zinc because my cough is still not going away, even though I'm not coughing up green stuff, its not letting up. Well, it fucked my stomach to holy hell this morning and I've been puking... fucking christ. now I'm attempting to put food in it... I'll prolly eat and lay down a lil more.... the girl who I was supposed to possibly move in with has not called me back. Fucking people. Why are they so unreliable? You get one chance with me on crap like that, and if you blow it, fine. I have the credit and know how to rent an apartment, if people don't want my help, fine.
Woke up this morning and found you still here, glad you didn't pull an Elliot Smith.. <3
Dec 9, 200402:08
My mom was always like "you can't save everyone, Erica." and my freinds and family could never understand why I always wanted to help what most people would describe as the dregs of society. I don't really know why, but I have a deep seated need to help people, especially those who everyone else have given up all hope on. I can't stand to watch people suffer emotionally, it breaks my fucking heart. Even when people will tell everyone its okey, or that they are fine, I can tell that they are upset... its hard to explain, it isn't a physical clue that I look for, but people give off these vibes I suppose that I can feel and I just know.
When I have freinds who I know are fucking suffering and no one is able to help them I'll be there for them no matter what. It makes me infuriated to think that people will abandon those that they "love" because they can't handle the emotional intensity of someones pain. I wish I had more money, or I could do more for people, but I just do what I can and am far more protective of my freinds/family than I am of myself. You can fuck with me, but if you fuck with my freinds you will piss me the fuck off.
If you love someone, it means being there for them no matter what, get it? Love isn't about asking what you can get in return, its about what you give.

Weird. Cat Power lyrics are like a female version of Modest Mouse lyrics. I'm getting back into downloading more music, I needed a change... um, I've been listenening to The Black Heart Procession, neutral milk hotel, and Azure Ray... um, I could go on and on... I wish I had the money to buy a billion albums.. I try and buy used alot... and I wih si could find more of my cds.. I like mp3's because I have all them on my computer...
Dec 8, 200414:58
Holy geez! Craigslist.com has some fucking rad deals for apartments... I still totally want to move down to san diego, but the amount of money I spend in gas everyday is a total joke. I sepnd more money here at my sisters place with gas and rent, than I spent in my apartment. I'm not broke, even if I feel like it, and I have money to pay for whatever I need, but still, I worry. It prolly has something to do with living in a house where I was able to get anything I needed when I was young, to coming home with no electricity when I lived with my dad. So I guess it makes me worry about $$ alot...
Last night I went to Enigma and hung out with Didier and we went back to Matts house and watched Ultimate Fighting Championship! Well, I just fell asleep pretty much. Good gawd, why didn't anyone tell me there was middle eastern food right down the fucking street. Oh my gawd I've been craving that stuff all the time for months! I woke up and could smell the beach from Matts apartments.. good lord.
I should rent for 6 months in temecula, then after I get a few more raises (two in the next 6 months) I should move to san diego. I can start my transfer process and hold out till I get a fulltime position.. my reveiw with Derek will be coming up in March, so I know I'll get a kickass reveiwe and I have a good attendence record, and no write ups (I've never been written up at any job, and I've always been promoted to some sort of management at my other jobs... never been fired, or close to been fired).. I think the stakes are good for me. I just need patience.
Dec 6, 200422:36
goddam I can text on my phone rather fucking quickly. I talked ot Crystal today, I'm so glad we can be freinds again, its too bad shes moving to AZ, saterday shes having a going away party so I will get to see her then. Me and Michelle at work worked for 8 hours today together on the camara roadshow, shes like, the most awesome chick ever.... A possible roomate situation has arisen with some freinds from work, so I dunno, it could be a possibility....
Part of me wants to live alone, and part of me, wants to have people living with me... I dunno, living with roomates is cheaper, there is that upside, but then I have to have theier permission to do things like throw parties where everyone gets naked and smokes crack in the bathroom. (j/k about the crack part).
My uncle on my dads side just had a quadrouple bypass surgery. I feel so bad for him, I guess he was crying on the phone witth my dad, hes a diabetic, so he has health problems and he like, the coolest guy ever, i wish he lived closer. Hes the only relative of my dads left. My dad just had to put his dog to sleep and his dog was like his best freind... my heart goes out for my dad so much...
There is more shit bothering me but its not my place to say other peoples problems on here, especially since they are very personal.. so I'll just leave it at, my plate is pretty goddam full and its making me very irratable, and I feel as though I'm snapping at my freinds and generally being bitchy for no reason.. (well, no reason that they know of). and I don't really have an easy time revealing my more personal issues, I feel like I have to pull the plug and disconnect from alot of situations in my life because its seriously overloading me at this point.... but anyways I think its time for bed.
Dec 6, 200420:27
..
Ugh everyone is annoying.. I'm going through another phase where I want to fire everyone and live in a cave. I need a vacation... Bad. I'm so torn between living situations.. There are alot of options right now open to me.. I just want to pick the best one to be happiest.
Gah fucking grrr.... why are people so fucking insane? How do they always find me? I'm like some sort of shit magnet. Why must they act like psychopaths? Why is it, when I reveal my true feelings about someone it bites me in the ass everytime? A guy who I "considered" a freind fucking freaked the fuck out on me today when I told him I don't have feelings for him, and I just want to be freinds. He got pissed and took off last night from a party where we both had mutal freinds basically because all my attention wasn't focused on him, and I'm a big flirt, but that doesn't mean shit. If I flirt with someone, that doesn't mean I'm fucking them, or going to fuck them, it just means I'm a flirt for fucks sake. He tells me hes having a panic attack because of last night. WTF? I sure wonder what happens when something actually shitty happens.. if I had panic attacks because of something so small I would have died of a heart attack by now.
So I go over to his house to pick up some shit of mine (hello, if I let you borrow my stuff, I'm obviously not trying to use you or anything) and explain, but no.. I have a fucking pet peeve about getting cut off when I'm trying to talk, and then getting blamed for someones problems. I got so pissed trying to talk that I finally just walked off, when I'm truely pissed I walk away and don't say shit. If I run my mouth off at that point its gonna be UGLY. I don't need people who act like that in my life, I went through three years of someone doing that to me. Fuck no.
Last fucking time I revealed my feelings about someone (they tryed to manipulate me into revealing them, I just played along because its easier than asking, or being asked) the guy basically blew me off after it saying he wasn't really "into" me, and then tryed to fuck one of my friends and THEN lied about it. She showed me the IM's.. it was nothing I didn't figure out on my own... and besides, I'm not fucking stupid (but I'll play along most the time, then turn right around and call bullshit on you). Cool huh? Yeah right.

I slept well the last two nights. Go me! Me and Jason went to the Olive Garden after stopping by Outer Limits and saying hi to Brett breifly... Jason is a fucking funny guy when he starts going off on some shit that bothers him... other than that, hes pretty laid back. Its weird hanging out with him, i knew him in high school, and he was pretty poular and I was freinds with him through the twins (man if I wasn't so lazy I would link everyones names more... ) but we really didn't hang out in high school.. I hung out with my hs boyfreind Eric (sophmore, junior, and half of my senior year) and Amber and the rest of the guys mostly... I told Jason he can borrow my bong, since its all sad being in storage and not being used, I think its the least I can do for the guy since he always smokes me out. Anyways, I think I may take a nap, eat my lasagna or actually get dressed.
ps.
I have the hardest time relaxing. Someone help me. ha.
Dec 1, 200418:03
Well, I am bored again on my day off. I got enough sleep last night (like 12 hours) so me and Jason are gonna hang out. I want to go and visit Brett at Outer Limit, if hes there since he is close to Jasons house. I can't stand being in this house that isn't mine, my stuff is all in storage, I went to my storage place and said "oh my stuff! I miss you!" I dunbno where I'm gonna move to. Fuck H&H towing and costing me 200$. I could buy a fucking plane ticket for that kinda money. But whatever.
Dec 1, 200414:55
Why I hate LA.
Don't let anyone fool you. LA is the suck. I drove up to visit a freind in Hollywood/Burbank area, and parked my car out by the starbucks because there is never parking by his apartment complex... I'm the coolest and I fell asleep while we were watching "elephant". I woke up and when I went back my car, it was fucking GONE. WTF?? So it was either stolen or towed. Brett/Loren calls the number listed for me and figures out all the details of where my car is and how much it'll cost. 200$ fucking dollars. Well, he takes me to get my car and feels bad that it got towed since he always has his freinds park there. The kid really is nice, no one ever does anything like that for me.... calling the companies to get my car back without me even asking for him to do it. I'm lucky I have some good freinds.
I cal my sister and tell her I'll have to pay her rent when I get payed next, and her response is "well I guess you should have come home earlier" instead of say "oh man that sucks." She is a bitch. My poor neice... I wouldn't want my sister for a mom, thats for sure...
I'm convinced there is something wrong with me in the head. I tend to be attracted to assholes. Why? I dunno. I asked this to Dave, and he responds with "because you are a fucking bitch like every other girl." Well. I'm an asshole, thats for sure, but I'm not a bitch and I certainly don't treat my friends or people I've dated badly. The only person I can say I was an asshole to was Eric, but he was certainly an asshole to me.
I made out at a party with my new bf in front of him, he got me back by dating my mortal enemy and making out with her at high school in front of me every chance they got. Needless to say, my senior year of high school was horrible and I spent 6 months being horribly depressed, after that, I vowed to never be that depressed over a boy again.
Damien had no ability to judge another feelings and when someone was hurt by his shitty additude, he would just laugh it off.. Our relationship ended when he went back to his old gf.. I think he was cheating on me with her before I dumped him, but I still don't know. A few months later he begged for me go back to him and would cry ont he phone with me and such... but thats the part where I get over it... when someone I'm with develops feelings for someone else.
Justin.. he was a sweet boy and his dad convinced him that he should try and date other chicks... while we were still together. Well, he tried to meet up with some chick off the internet. That chick was me, I make a fake profile to see if he was lying to me about just wanting to make "freinds". I dumped him the next day. He begged and cryed for me to come back.. see the above.
Allright.. now I'm totally depressed and I think I'm gonna go lay in bed.

stupid movie reveiws
Oh man. Time for another of Erica's movie reviews. So the other night, I went and hung out with Didier and we watched Envy, now I really never did figure out exactly where the hell that movie was going with the plot. But, it did feature jack Black and Christopher Walken playing a insane homeless man. Insane + Walken = Good. The drive down the 5 at night is beautiful, out by camp pendelton and san onofre you can see the moon reflecting off the ocean, and everytime I drive down tth efive I'm thankful to live so close to the beach. Driving back in the morning up the 15 is also nice, near Rainbow and highway 395, the hills are gorgeous, it was foggy at 8 in the morning too which was nice for the scenery.
Last night I went to goand see Alexander with my friend Jason. That movie is a pile of crap. Colin Ferrel is embarrasing, I felt like I was watching a bad high school play of julius ceaser. WTF? I payed for the tickets (we accidently ordered too much food at Market Broiler after smoking the ganj, and he payed for dinner) and I'd rather have payed for dinner and spent more money, than wasted a fucking dime on that movie. The ticket counter kid was also an ass, so I complained to the manager in my best pissed off polite customer speech, and got us free drinks and popcorn. "As a paying customer, this just isn't the kind of service I expect." I don't how I pull this shit out of ass, wtf.. "paying customer..." who says these things? Apparently me. Jesus.
2 years old on the phone are funny. 2 years old in general are funny. I want to bake cookies, but I'm lazy and I need to pay my bills, but I'm also lazy yet again.

I need to go grocery shopping and stop spending all my $$ on eating out... I think it'll be frozen food time because I'm lazy when I'm cooking for only one person. Most days are pretty good and I'm happier overall, but some days it feels sucktacular and I get pissed and want to yell at everyone around me and tell them to get their heads out of their asses. I need to get my oil changed too dammit. I'm supposed to go to my dads for dinner too tonite. Hes so weird I swear... I'm convinced everyone around me is freaking nutjobs. But then again I've also noticed sane people, well, they are boring.
We have pumpkin pie here but no whipped cream, WTF? What the hell am I gonna do without whipped cream. I think its shower time soon.

My dearest Richard came and visited, he was only able to hang out for an hour till he had to go back to visit with his family again. That kinda sucks because hes a nice kid and I like to talk to him. He needs to answer his phone more often. He made total fun of me for being on bme and myspace. I hate myspace. I guess he forgets he was the first person I met off IAM. Weird, 3 years later... I guess its really been that long.
My life is definatly weird. This diary is always the edited version of what really happens. The above was actually about that boring tho.

sex
I was planning on writing a whole entry on my thoughts about sex, but I can't really verbalize my feelings and thoughts very well. Especially about sex. Basically its hard being a girl and liking sex. You can't be a girl and like sex, or even persue it and not be a whore according to most people. Which is fucking lame. Because the same people also expect you to be comfortable with your body and be sexually open behind closed doors, but not be sexual outside of the bedroom. Guess what assholes, the two fucking things don't match up in peoples heads. I think basically what it comes down to is that I totally hate gender roles. I totally hate being 5'2" and looking like I'm 12 years old. I only take advantage of this when it comes to lifting heavy crap at work, so I make the boys do it. But I wouldn't make a 12 boy of my stature lift a 60lb TV either. I just hate the bullshit gender roles that women are supposed to fit into, I have never fit into those, and the one that irritates me the most is prolly sex. I think like a "guy" for the most part, I'm a pretty logical person and I certainly don't confuse sex with "feelings", But unlike dudes, I can't have sex with people I'm not attracted to mentally. If you are annoying, or dumb, there is no way I'd fuck you. My poor ex Rob, he was so sweet, but dumb as a brick so no matter how cute he is, I couldn't take it and had to dump him.
We had this discussion the other night when I was out to dinner about what our individivual sexual morals were... I guess mine are pretty complicated and can kinda seem contraditory to most people, but they make perfect sense to me and since I'm the one having sex I suppose thats what matter, eh? I've never had a one night stand, and I never want one. The first time you have sex with someone I think its usually pretty awkward, and it gets better over time once you get to know eachother more. If its fucking good, chances are, I'd want that shit again. It could be 5 years or 5 hours before I decide when we have sex. I generally don't hook up with people I just met, thats creepy. But if the time feels good.. well, its someones lucky day. I try and stay awya from those allready involved.. if I know you have a bf/gf wife/husband its hands off unless I know for a fact its not working out and its on its way out. I could go on... but its been too long writing this as it is.
Nov 25, 200413:05
I was actually kinda able to sleep in two nights in a row. Not last night, but the night before I went out with Jason, and we went to an elvis bar and I actually drank halk a maragrita, which the bartender made too strong despite Jason ordering it with less booze. I watched her pour it and was allready cringing before I drank it. We then got krispy creme donuts and drove back to his house, which I in turn fell alseep ont he couch and ended up on a bed and slept next to his dog the rest of the night. The only part about being single (the rest is still fun) that really sucks is sleeping alone. I try falling asleep and lay in bed for an hour longer than I want to even if I need to wake up in 5 hours and I only got 5 hours of sleep the night before. Even before I lived with Wes I was able to sleep best when someone was sleeping next to me. When all my freinds came over to spend the night, they always slept next to me in bed... I have never been able to sleep well alone. Even my dogs used to sleep in my bed when my friends weren't over most nights...
I eneded up having to drive home at 6:45am and I slept till 1 in the afternoon. I woke up and got dressed, and then drove to SD to see my dearest Jes. We hung out at her place for a bit then decided to stop by Engima because I saw Didier's car on the way to Jes's so I KNEW he'd actually be there. By the time we finish smoking and end up at Enigma, Nathan was outside raking the leaves. We hung out at the shop then took Nathan with us to Pokez. I wasn't all that impressed with the food... maybe its because i hate green sauce, and I want the cheese enchiladas to be filled with cheese and not just peppers.. but it was kinda "ehh.." Me and Jes were then entertained with a geography lesson on the side of Pokez. We then went to the bar since our little friend turned 21 finally. Gawd I feel old when I realize that some of my freinds aren't legally able to drink yet.
Well, today is thanksgiving and I suppose I should hang out with my family pretty soon. Tomarrow I have the day off too, yeah! more sleeping in.
Nov 21, 200423:03
Last night against my better judgement I wnet out to the twins house for her little get together and brought my little Marissa along with me. I was sleepy so I wasn't too social... I was sitting ont he couch and I fell asleep on poor Jeff's shoulder. Marissa was sitting next to me just chillin' and petting the dog.. I'm glad I've been able to keep in touch with the kids I knew in junior high and high school all these years.. I often sit and think about old friends and always wonder what they are up to.. tonite I talked to my frined Brenan, I didn't keep in touch with him in HS becuase we went to different schools, but I've known the guy since kindergarden, and we neded up working together when I was 20. I'm constantly convinced its a small world out there.
This fact is especially true with the piercing/modification community. Pretty much if you know enough kids from BME.. (I've prolly met around 200 or so in person) chances are anyone you meet is a freind of a freind that you know offline. Sometimes its fun to just play 6 degress of seperation instead of using the search engine to find someone. I enjoy the close-kint community even sometimes it feels like a dysfunctional family... ;)
On another note, completely non bme related -I feel like everyone fucking retarded sometimes. And whatever stupid shit people pull it'll come back to them. I'm sick of whiny assholes. And I wish everyone around me was taken care of. My cousin calls me at midnight sobbing because she was getting kicked out the bfs house, I don't have a place for her to stay, so I calmed her down and told her to call Dan, who is my ex but is one of her freinds and was always in love with her, and I knew he'd take care pf her... she hung up and didn't call me back so I know she got a hold of him. I just I could fix everything for everyone and sometiems there isn't much i can do....
Nov 19, 200422:59
Being sick is crappy, I'm getting better tho I think.. I just have a crappy cold and the only cure is rest. I came home early from work today and spent 2 hours driving and fighting traffic to get home which was totally lame because all I wanted to do was get back home.
I went to Enigma and hung out with Didier and watched him make spirals outta jewelry, which only sounds boring, but Didier is good company.
The other Meiner twin is coming in tonite so I have plans to meet up with the twins and Jason will be along in tow.. I hope to be better by then.
My niece is great, shes enetertaining and loves my tattoos... I can't wait till she gets older.
All in all thats what I've been up to.
Nov 18, 200418:25
My nose is full of snot and I can't breathe which is driving me crazy. I am supposed to go to SD, I took one look at the freeway and turned around. I just took some nyquil because I have totally gotten sick, I need to go buy some zinc, the stuff I had, my cat so kindly threw in the toilet for me. I redsigned my page because I was sick of looking at that strawberry. I need to write that crap fro work which I have been avoiding.. ugh.
Nov 18, 200416:17
Dyed my hair. Two fuzzy pictures for your enjoyment.
Nov 18, 200412:24
I went and hung out with a kid from myspace last night, which is weird because I've never met anyone off myspace before and he seemed cool... He got sick of my phones text messaging capibilities (ie. sucktacular) so he finally called and we chatted and I drove up to Hollywood to hang out, it was cool... we talked rather easily and he was a nice kid overall.
I'm getting sick again, I'm spitting up green crap and its totally not cute. I need to really get more sleep, its wreaking havoc on my immune system. Now its artichoke time.
Nov 17, 200412:02
So today I think I'm actually gonna try and be good and run errands most the day.. yesterday I wasn't planning on going out, and I went and hung out with my freind Jason and I made him eat lebanese food with me, and he was polite when I could tell he was like "WTF am I eating?" everytime we hang out its after I got like 4 hours the night before and I pass out early and always feel bad...
I need to go to the bank and then go to the postoffice to drop off two packages, ruby tuesdays smokes and daves movie. I want to get a decent picture of my arm soon.. I don't have much more to fill in, we are going to do a touch up on it, and pretty soon it'll be all done. I'm going to fix the rest of my tattoo work before starting any nerw pieces because I can't satand when people have all these unfinished pieces that look lie crap and then they just start new ones. With the exception of Shawn Porter, because we know he'll never finish his back. ;) I also have to watch my niece for 2 hours tonite, but shes pretty cute so I'll make an exception for her.
Hmm.. in the car I've been thinking alot, which is what one can do when you have to commute to work.. and I've noticed I always get frustrated and mad at myself and go "Never again!" and make decisions to not make the same mistakes that lead to unhappyness without really realizing or thinking about what really caused the problem. Just for a stupid example, I say I don't ever want to dye my hair black again because it can be such a total pain in the ass to get out, but then again, I like my hair black, and now that I know how to get it to another color I wouldn't be afraid to dye it. Or for a bigger example, I said I don't want to go into management again because I was so pissed at my Placentia store when i left it when I worked for Pizaa Hut.. but now I've been at coscto for almost 3 years and I want to lead again, I'm not happy just sitting on the sidelines, I like to be able to make a difference at the places I work. That said, I need to go finish my errands.
Nov 16, 200400:14
Oh man.. I need to write soem crap for work but I'm too tired. I'm too tired to effectivly get up and get myself some food. I got my hair cut by my friend Myrla.... now I want to re-dye it. I want it black again, but black is such a apin in the ass and then everyone at work is old and says things like "You remind me of that girl in beetlejuice" as I wear a pink shirt from the gap. Allrighty.
Nov 12, 200422:17
...
I think Im long overdue for some decent rest.. My body is starting to get worn out finally.. I still have too much energy for one person. Heh.
[Dude, I wrote this on my phone!]
Nov 11, 200413:26
So basically.. what have I been up to in the past week? I basically have been spending a whole lotta time with my freinds and concetrating on work... Friday I went out with my freinds from work for a girls going away party and we saw the incredibles. I saw this kid Marc who used to work for Costco, and that kid totally rules, I miss him tons and between him and Josh, they were my most favorite kids from Costco, and unfortunatly they both quit for various reasons, basically they both got fucked up the ass by Costco... But Marc offered to let me use his dark room when he gets it set up.. so it would be nice to start working in a dark room again.
Saterday ame and Jason Birky hung out and I was all excited to watch my TIVOed adult swim with him, and then to my horror, my sister took off all my season passes. Yeah, shes a bitch. So we watched The daily Show epside from right after the election, which was fucking hilarious. And I got the munchies after smoking and passed the fuck out.
Monday, Me, Nathan and Mitch went to Taco Loco, shot the shit and then hung out and discussed the modcon book. And for some TBS was on, and there was some creepy movie, but I didn't have anyone as witty as making up dialogue (aka Matt & Wes) to make it worthwhile.. I was just wondering why two people were handcuffed together stuffing a turkey. WTF? haha.
Last night I went to visit Brett and I bragged to Nathan about our yummy vegan food we were planning to get.. he came along and we went to Jonna by the Anahiem Outer Limits, the food there is so good, I love that place alot, and they have hookah! I love hookah so much I own one now, but its in storage... we hung out at the Orange shop talking too loudly on the comfy couch.
Now I'm off to go to Kimmy's to get tattooed, but I'm picking up Jason Birky first so I have a carpool companion and we are getting food first, but I'm sure we'll be smoking some fine ganja before hand, which will make for a kick ass week. And tommarrow I have plans to hang out with Myrla, whos number I found, I miss that girl tons and tons and I;'m gald to here shes living her dream tattooing now... Yeah!
GT's.
Nov 11, 200403:40
IAM is back... oh how I missed IAM. I was stuck using myspace and pretending it was IAM.. I even went so far as to changing my myspaces page format. Lame.
Nov 3, 200421:26
Just being in this house makes me feel so much calmer.. my life is straightening out, and everyday it gets better, I'm sure glad I have the freinds that I've had and the support of everyone around me to get through this rough time in my life... I've been going out alot and if I'm at home I'll sit online and chat with people because I need to talk through things to get them out of my system...
Nov 2, 200423:23
So last night I hung out with Jason Birky, its funny talking to people from hs who I didn't get to know as well as I wanted to. We hung out at my house, then went to denny's and hung out at talked till about 3am... I made him take the myers briggs test, and he was a INFP... I get along easiest with NF's it seems... We had fun talking till I was about passed out asleep.
I've been using the Myers Briggs instead of therapy and its been working quite well.. basically instead of trying to change other people which I have the worst tendency to do, I have to focus on changing myslef, which I've been doing with alot of sucess, I've been looking tat things differently than I've ever done before and I have been more at peace with myself than ever. I'll never be at peace with myself totally, it's just not my nature, but I'm alot happier with myself than I've ever been.
I guess I just had to realize that I'm not perfect and on top of that, that I have the ability to change myself as much as I have the ability to change other people.. and by change I mean, perspective which leads to behavior. As long as I can see things in a different light I can change the behavior which led me to being unhappy in the first place.
I know alot of times I sound inconstant and wishy-washy, but its not that at all, I just am fucking complex and complicated and have sides to me that 99% of people hardly ever see and they suprise me sometimes... but its not an inconsistency's in my personality or values, its just I see things from different angles all the time and react differently to the different ways I see things. I'm kinda unpredicatble even to myself, and even when I think I'll do soemthing one way, I'll suddenly see a different angle and react according to what I think is best.
The two boys I dated who knew me best were Wes and Eric. They both knew me so well, but for different reasons. Wes knew me well because we both could talk to eachother really easily and well, we lived together for almost 3 years. Eric knew me well because he was able to rememe,ber the details about me and my behavior. The problem with both was that they never understood my feelings very well.
Nov 1, 200417:48
I'm so lame. Its 5:45am and I'm supposed to either be in bed or geeting ready for work. Which I will not be going to, because I am lame and called in sick. I need some fucking rest. I played slumber party and stayed up all night talking and I just got home.. I won't be back at work till friday. For as much as I've been through in the past 4 months, and I called out sick one other time when I had the super throw-ups.. I can justify calling out today.
I went to the super fabulous halloween party saterday night, it was like a high school reunion with the people I actually missed seeing from HS... I exchanged some numbers and made plans to hang out. Its nice to see old freinds.. as much as I make new freinds and have alot of friends overall, I miss seeing old freinds the most and spend alot of time wondering what they are up to.
Eck. Dating. The weirdness of being single just set in. I'm trying to take my own advice and trying to stay single.. but its hard when I have some ingrained hormonal issue where I want to settle down with someone. Going out and having fun is great, and I just need to change my perspective on that and be happy with my place in life, bieng able to date who I want, go out when I want... ect..
Oct 29, 200423:10
God, fuck you dude. You can't just leave me and my freinds alone can you? I can't have one night where NOTHING happens? I IM a freind to just say whats up, and he tells me he hit some kid with his car and killed him like 4 hours ago, it totally wasn't his fault (or he would be in jail right now, not online) or anything, but... but WTF? Its just not fair.
Oct 29, 200418:04
I'm glad that I'm back here even if for the past month I've been dreading it. Yes, its boring, and my entertainment is a two year old. Thank gawd I have a car and can get the fuck out of this city whenever I want to. I don't think I'll let my 16 years olds get a car. Cars = trouble.
Me and Wes had a good discussion last night, we cleared up some misconceptions about the drama caused by my diary entry, where his dumb friends don't know what a slef image is, and thought I said that wes insulted my looks all the time. When I meant he insulted my personality and what I do and how I do things. He always made me feel attractive, but he loved to make me feel dumb for doing and thinking things differently than him. I can admit, I can do that to, (oh, and I'm good at it) but not just for the sake of making people feel dumb, I had to be treated like I was an idiot first before I would make you feel so shitty you'd hate me. Overall tho, don't get me wrong Wes is a great guy, I mean I married him, hes just too much for me.
I've only had one bf who ever insulted my looks. Fuck that motherfucker. He had a small dick and couldn't last longer than 5 minutes, EVER. And we were together for 2 years.. hhahaha. He went sXe and vegan when near the end and said "I'd never date a girl who does drugs again." because I smoked pot like, once a month. And then he dates this girl who does meth and nos and smokes. WTF? She was popular and Eric just wanted to be cool. They broke up like 3 months later. 1 year later, we slept together just once (was I desparate? no, he was always cute), and the the first thing he said was "Sorry, its still small."
Case in point why I didn't have any sxe or vegan freinds forever because I dated that piece of shit.
I'm sure people think I don't get over things as easy as I do, because I remember them and are always bitter. I just have a memory that sorts shit out weird, I get over it easy, and I forgive people, but I fucking always rememember it. Like when I cut freinds out of my life for being shitheads, I usually forgive them but always hold a grudge. So, that makes me an asshole.
Oct 29, 200401:13
So I was all set on having my fantasy of a studio in sd, all alone, me and the cat. The past month I've lived alone with the cat and its exceedingly lonely. I sit on the computer (remember kids I have no cable) and talk to people and talk to the cat. I swear its John and Garfield. I ask him waht hes doing and he looks at me. Man, I need people around. My dad lives alone with the dog, and he just had to put his dog down... poor guy. I liked living with Matt and Wes. I dunno, I could find a good apartment easier with someone to share the rent with. Not as ghetto if we both could afford 500 to 600$ a month for rent and if it was ghetto I'd feel safer there.
I'm gonna go live with my sister, her husband and my 2 year old neice. My mom will live down the street from us too. My famliy will keep me out of trouble, which is good for me. I need to stop smoking so much pot. I never used to smoke as much I have int he past few months. I have no desire to smoke right now, which is good. sometimes I do that. Smoke alot for awhile and then go months without touching it. I'm too lazy to be an drug addict, it requires effort to find and buy drugs... not like I have any fear of legal issues... but...
Sometimes I get jealous of my sister and my moms relationship because they are alot closer than me and my mom are. They think alot more alike, and I think alot more like my dad. Hopefully moving there will be good for our relationship if my sister and mom don't make me crazy.
Oct 28, 200423:37
Just to clarify some things
here is the definition of self image.
It does not mean how one looks on the outside, its the abstract concept of how someone veiws themselves internally as a whole person. Got it? Thanx.
Oct 28, 200400:21
I think whats really bugging me most is I feel like I lost my stability in life recently. I'm a very stable and grounded person, and when my life gets upset I totally internalize it and get anxiety and whatnot. I'm an extremely optimistic person (to the point of being annoyingly idealistic) so don't get me wrong, I'm not depressed or whatnot.. so lets run down the past 12 months-
I moved, after having to find a place in 3 days, two weeks before my wedding. Jeff died.
I had to give away my charlie dog.
I got married.
My car got totaled, I bought 2 new cars.
I got cheated on and my marriage broke up.
I'm moving back in with my family (my sister)after 3 years not living with them.
I have to give away my cat :( :(
I'm glad that I'll be with my family because I really do need to just settle down for a awhile and catch my breath. I have this tendency to take on way more than I can handle, and stress myself out.
I hate my head because it always makes future plans... and it changes its mind on a regular basis without my permission, dammit. At least I can see good ideas and good outcomes instead of only seeing how things can go wrong. But still.. it is depressing over all sometimes. I'm not as stubborn as I used to be, so I'm more flexable about things. But I still go against my best judgement and do things that I know are bad for me.
I know I won't be as happy at another costco, but I know I need to move away from this pile of shit and start over. San Diego is still where I want to move and its up to costco to provide me with a fulltime position so I can transfer. Staying in OC and finishing school wouldn't be horrible, but I can't live at my sisters house for too long. I want to live alone in a studio, but living alone is so damned lonely. My cats good company but I like roomates if they are cool. Its just hard finding anyone who would make a decent roomate. Most people aren't half as self-sufficent as me or 25% as responsable. People are also slobs and just plain crazy. I can't live with a girl (99% of you) so I'd rather have a guy, and its hard to find one thats not a slob or creepy.
Allright, I'm done whining.
Oct 27, 200421:37
Ahh.. I'm packing and its so not exciting. Its raining out again, so I don't want to get the rest of the boxes from my car. Well, either way, its finally getting done. Yes, I might be a procrastinator (especially with shit I DON'T want to do) but I get the things done, I get need to get done in the end.
Oct 26, 200421:09
I don't ever talk about my feelings until I get pissed. So when I end up saying anything at all, its after I've gotten pissed enough. So I usually end up yelling at someone, going on with it or getting closure and getting over it. And then I'm fine. And just laugh at how stupid my heart is. My heads smart, but I guess my hearts just more convincing.
After they duke it out & settle it, and the head wins, everything is all good.

Sometimes I wish I had a tape reocrder at all times going and I could play it back at will for people. When people say "I never said that" and I could be like "oh yes you did, listen!" I would just totally rule. It would make my life so much easier. And they they would say "thats not what I meant." And then I would say "well what did you mean by that?" And then they would back pedal and I would play it again. Oh man. Anyone who is divorced or getting divorced wants this, it would be the hottest seller.
Its 7:30am, I need to get more sleep. See above. Smoking pot is second best.
Oct 26, 200401:31
I'm so convinced I did something shitty in a past life and god has got it out for me. I am completely in a pissed off mood right now. I just spent three hours whining about how shitty I have determined people are. I can't wait to move! Well, when I finally decide where I'm going to live.
I'm sick of dealing with drama, I'm sick of being a shit magnet. Argh. I hate having the people at work who talk shit on me one day come up to me the next day and ask me for advice about their boyfreinds. I wish people would just fucking act honest for once.
edit: I just had the most retarded conversation. People are so dumb. We'll see we'll see we'll see.
Oct 25, 200402:20
So people at work are finding out about me and Wes, and people are treating me like someone died. Its nice that people actually care, or pretend to, but I'm really not doing bad. I'm really doing okay. Some days are bad, but most days are just fine. I'm lucky that I had such a good support system in place of friends more than anything, because without them I'd be nowhere. So anyways thanx kids.
Richard- for being there to talk to. Amber- for being an asshole when I needed it. Nathan- for hanging out. Jay- for listening. Tera- for getting it. Jes- for being such a sweeatheart. Mary- for listening. Marissa- ahhh.. for being sweet and vengeful. Dave- For listening and being #1 internet friend. Wes- for letting me go.
Oct 24, 200419:25
I coerced a friend into coming over last night, in promise of vegan food on my part. I cooked spagetti and vegan meatballs with homemade garlic bread too. I miss having people to cook for. :( I like just cooking for anyone, but just me. Then I fell asleep watching "O' Brother where art thou" on my living room floor. I'm the coolest. That movie rules.
Today I had to work, and now I should start packing. :(
**F-LINK: 1ta49gn-: **
Oct 22, 200411:09
So yesterday I did manage to go and rent a storage place, a 10x10 insulated storage place... it wasn't too expenisive either. I made Josh drive me around and take me there. Then we sat on the computer for a few hours because we are just so cool like that. This picture would describe Josh.. hahaha..
Making people get drunk and call you is always funny, even if you spend 50% of it, trying to understand eachother.

feelings dating fucking
Its 9am, and I've been awake for 2 hours. I drive a shitload, and people wonder why in general I don't mind driving an hour at least to go and do what I need to do, bsically its because I get to do two things in the car, I get to think and listen to music.
Today thinking involved basically how life is never quite how you plan it to be, and how my perspectives on things have changed a I got older. the beginning of the year I was think about how I'd like to buy a house and go back to school, and now its like, I'm moving in with my sister, I broke up with my husband and I have to commute an hour everyday for my job. I'd like to move to San Diego and transfer full time down there, but my ability to transfer is out of my hands. I have no write ups (I've never had a write up anywhere I've worked, mind you) and a good attendence record, so that'll help.
My and Kimmy talked about this, and we both agreed you reevaluate your life and priotities every few years. dating, oh gawd, dating, my priorities and the way I think about dating has changed... Like most girls/people I wanted to find someone and get married and somehow this was supposed to equal "life completeness" Well, it just doesn't work out that way. I don't even think of people I'd date in terms of marriage or moving in material anymore, my idealist/romantic veiw of dating was basically shattered (thank gawd) when my marriage fell apart. I'm still not the type to date/fuck 3 people at once, because frankly, I'm not a dumb whore. And I don't attatched through sex like most women and some men, thank gawd. But, now I just look at people in terms of, "you'd make a good freind" "I'd fuck you, but I wouldn't date you" or lastly "you'd make decent bf material" But, thats as far ahead as I think now.
And now, more than ever, I can walk away from any relationship where I don't feel I'm getting what I need/want out of it without looking back, which I had a hard time doing when I was younger, but I was still able to do that pretty well even before I was with Wes, much to the suprise of a few people I dated/fucked. But now I can shut the door and be like "bye!" The one part that sucks tho, is I have a much harder time talking about my feelings... Wes would get mad at me because I wouldn't talk about them much when I needed to or when he needed me to. Well, fuck, I get burned everytime I do, and now its just like, my brain says "eh, feelings, what are those?" and my heart says "those things you are doing a good job repressing asshole." Ha.

I called verizon, called the movers and called to rent a uhaul. I even did ALL the dishes. I was a busy bee today. Today i will get to wear a sweater too since its cold outside. And maybe ecen a scarf because I can, and its still raining out. Everything is coming together, I just hate moving since its such a pain in the ass. I only get a week and a half here...
**F-LINK: czw4j5n-: i hate moving**
Oct 20, 200412:19
I have to rent a storage place and get movers to come and help me get most my stuff into storage next week. and I move halloween weekend. I'm not exited to go live with my family... I have alot of freinds in OC, but still I fucking hate the place. I was sooo damned tired last night, I fell asleep at 1230am and woke up at 1230pm. Tonite I;m going to hang out with Nathan and eat food.
Even though I want to hit Wes in the head with a hammer everytime I see him, and hes my ex of course, it still pisses me off that ANYONE would let him drive home intoxicated. You fucking idiots, thats how people DIE and I don't care if you were fucked up too, whoever it was who let him drive home, I'm going to yell at you.
Oct 19, 200421:54
Hmm... I need to sleep more and clean my house, which I just don't want to do. This is so lame.
And somehow I always manage to get pissed off as much as I say I don't care. I need to learn to take my own advice.

Oct 18, 200418:43
Argh. I'm in a pissed off mood right now. And I have some weird suspicions about people. Not going to go into details, but WTF? Hmm.. people are fucking manipulative shitheads, thats all I know. People will fuck you over for a dollar, I swear it!
Anyways, today I was a costco hero. We have been missing a 800$ ring for a few weeks now, and NO ONE could find it. Basically if no one could find it, some heads would roll. When I was doing returns, I found it shoved the in back on the cabinet. So my boss bought me lunch and the other poor kid who would have been in deep shit for signing for the ring also offered to buy me dinner. Fucking rad. Free meals!
My freinds are coming over in a few minutes so I best get off my ass and try be sociable.
Oct 18, 200408:51
I got lost in the ghetto going to Mary's house.. she had to come meet at the liquor store. Mary is right, West Covina is the most boring city in the world. We went to the mall and it started pouring rain. Way cool. So I coerced the resturaunt to give us bags to wear till we could get to our car. We then went back and started to watch "Man on Fire" I of course, being the coolest, fell asleep at like 11:30pm. I work up at 7am and drove home, and here I am typing instead of getting ready for work.
Oct 17, 200401:32
I spent most the night working with this page and eating food.
Go see some of my photography if you are interested here
Oct 16, 200400:26
Someone came over with a delivery. My day started out shitty but ended decently.
Oct 14, 200413:03
I'm supposed to starting my laundry but instead I wanted to resize some pics I took.
Yesterday I went and got tattooed, my sleeve is coming along.. not much more to fill in, then some touchs and it will be done! I would post pictures but taking pictures of your own arm is damned near impossable.
I went to Taco Loco with Nathan and then we went and rented supersize me.. which was good, but strangely made me hungry for mcdonalds breakfast. Either it proves the point that, that shit is JUST NOT GOOD FOR YOU.
I also listened about an hour of the debate last night.. oh gawd they are both morons, but Bush is so much worse... so if you aren't regestered to vote, please do so to prevent this idiot from being reelected.
Here are some pictures... I got my moms old ring sized, yes, its big and gaudy, but it looks like a tree and has a big opal in it. I don't generally like gold unless its vintage like this ring... My cat is the most unphotogenic cat in the world, I swear it! I took some pics of Nathans work last night, but I juts like the way this one turned out, the stance is good for this shot. Either way, enjoy!
Edit: Black and white is better.
Oct 13, 200423:08
Its hard to take pictures of your arm. So here are some updated pictures of my arm.. as you can see, alot of work on the outisde, but my innter arm still needs alot of fill.
Proof that I live alone. My frig only has booze (which I'm not drinking incedentally)

servantojah: that's why some cultures have pre-arranged marriages nostalgiaamnesia: could someone have prearranged my life so it wasn't so hard???
Oct 12, 200422:36
Good oppurtunities are coming my way. I get tattooed tomarrow and then I'm going to Laguna to eat tofu-mushroom burgers. I'm glad my sleeve is finally coming together.. almost there.. hopefully we'll get a bit more done tommarrow... I need to do laundry now that I have a dresser.
Oct 11, 200423:28
Weee! I put together my dresser! And before I get accused again of trying to look cool on IAM, let me tell you what I did tonite. My freinds from work, one of them a christian boy who was afraid to scroll down lest he see boobies on my computer and johann my d&d playing star wars fan came over to get characters made so we can play d&d. We put together a dresser and they helped me get the spyware off my computer. Yup, definatly cool. Oh wait, I'm not cool and I don't fucking care. :)
Oct 11, 200400:41
Still haven't put that dresser together. I need to do chores instead of just playing all the time. Wow, amazing, Erica makes freinds and hangs out almost everynight with her freinds now, one thing has changed in my life, something in the scheme of things is missing. And it isn't social anxiety, I'm still ridculously shy. What could it be?
Went to Dennys again, tried to go to IHOP, but for some reason they had to close early. Me Jason and Johann had a good discussion about war vs pacifism.. it was fun stuff. I coerced Josh into coming over beforehand and he entertained me for an hour before me had us take a road trip to drop him off. Anyways, that was my night.
Oct 10, 200412:02
Me and Marissa hung out last night, we drove around Brea and ended up at Denny's and got the WORST service ever. I was completely polite until the end when I left a scathing note and two pennies on the table. Yeah, I know, I may not look like I'm gonna tip, but don't treat me like I'm not going to tip, asshole. I tip at where people aren't expected to tip and I definalty tip the pizza guys well (money, you sickos) after managing a delivery joint for 2 years. Nevermind what Marissa did to the waitress, but under that sweet facade, shes pure evil. No, actually overall Marissa is very sweet. :) Now I should be getting ready for work... but I'd rather sit on the computer in towel.
**F-LINK: jdo8310-: bad service sucks. **
Oct 9, 200423:56
Its funny, I KNOW what happened with me and Wes, and most the people around us know what happened with me and Wes, but there are those who still want to put this spin on what happened so they can "take sides" like we are children playing in forts. I don't need to convince anyone that "I'm right" or "he's wrong" because to most people its totally obvious how things actually played out. I don't bullshit anyone or tell lies. I don't need to.
The same people who copy Wes, the ones who steal his jokes, steal his personality, take on his interests (and I mean copying him, not getting interested in it because they discovered something new through him) and won't stand up to him, but will only join him when hes talking shit, are the same ones who "side" with Wes, I don't have any time for people who can't think for themselves.
Oct 8, 200421:03
I've tested as many people as I know with the myers briggs test.. It gives me practical applications to the theorectical analysis of the 16 types. Its good to see those people in action and to see how varied people can be if they are the same type, but the mannerisms, habits, and attitude can be so similar its scary! Its easiest when I have a good amount of freinds of the same type to see the fundemental similarities in action. Weird.
I spent all day trying to get my coworkers to take the test, I'm usually about one function off... and the people I just can't guess even on one score, so they don't fit into one type, but are usually stronger with one type than the other. Its fun and pretty revealing.

**F-LINK: ye5mx5h-: what are you?**
Oct 7, 200421:47
You think with all the drama people are trying people are starting in my life, it would be filled with thrilling adventures. Nope, instead last night I went to Taco Loco with Nathan and helped him do his laundry, and then watched futurama, and then fell asleep. Then me and Amber hung out today and got lost in San Diego. Its the 8 not the 805. We never made it to hillcrest, but we did make it to downtown. I guess getting lost is thrilling.
**F-LINK: b62xiym-: I don't have a thomas guide for san diego.**
Oct 7, 200400:10
Hey I guess I didn't know it wasn't okey to talk about my feelings about my marriage on my page without people being total psychos. I guess it takes bullshit like this to find out who your real freinds are. Or better yet, who they aren't.
**F-LINK: gdn29ds-: fuck off.**
Oct 6, 200416:50
Nina came over and I forgot that we were supposed to hang out, and I made her take the myers briggs too and she was what I thought, INFJ.. and when I revealed to her a description of an INFJ, she was pretty astounded by how accurate it was... basically we chatted about and then went to the bookstore and she bought please understand me II... I tend to giggle alot with other INFJs but sometimes I get lost in conversations with them because we leave out details..
I started thinking about the cat and the dog, and reliezed that Wes did the same thing to me as he did to them. Both my cat and dog are obediant and docile.. I was always amazed at his ability to train an animal to both fear him, and be super loyal to him. He did the same thing to my head, well until I stopped taking paxil that is. He basically beat and scared the dog/cat until they were scared to him, but in turn would pet them and give them a ton of affection. Which was basically what happened to me, he was a shithead to me, grating on my self image with his comments and actions (I have an extremely strong self image that he couldn't alter, thank gawd), and then turns around and gives me a ton of affection... basically making me happy to serve his needs. BUT, I can only give so much until I expect something in return. And affection isn't caring. Caring is caring, and affection is affection. And Wes didn't fucking care.
Affection is nice fine and dandy... but I'm really not a very affectionate person naturally, I don't hug people too much and holding hands is nice, but I don't like being groped or having someone be possesive of me. I'm very private in my affections towards someone. I don't get jealous if I'm in a actual relationship with someone, because I know they are mine, and thats that. The only time I come even close to getting jealous is when I'm interested in someone and I'm not "officially dating" them. But other than that, jealousy is a non-issue with me.
Its like taking this step back and putting all these details into perspective and seeing the big picture in the scheme of things. Fuck. Why didn't I do this earlier?
Oct 6, 200401:28
I've basically been reading up on Myers-Briggs types for the past week, I bought please understand me II, waiting on that from amazon, but I think its in the office waiting for me.
I don't normally believe in that shit, personality "types" BUT, the myers-briggs types are eerily accurate. When someone just "reminds me" of someone I allready know, chances are they test as the same type. What interpersonal problems did I have with this type before (especially when I was younger), and what when wrong, and what will I do this time to basically have a better relationship (I mean any kind, at work, at home, with freinds, whatever) with this type of person.
Its really helping me understand people better and relate to them, and basically let go of my worst habits, which is trying to change people and judging people too harshly. Put away the fucking chisel, Erica. I don't need a therepist or any crap like that, this works way better since I'll never tell anyone what I'm truley feeling if I'm paying them. It helps me to understand what people are really saying, and what they really mean, instead of what I think they are saying or worse yet, what I want to hear.
Life is a learning experiance, and you can either learn from it, and do better in the future, or you can dwell in the past and not see a pattern to all the bad shit or mistakes you've made with people. I plan on doing better.
Basically this is helping me deal with issues in my life that I'd like to work on, because being a better human being in the whole scheme of things is kinda important to me.
**F-LINK: f7xrc4w-: and then I'll say "it would have been like two 16 year old versions of ourselves dating, imagine that."**

I like having freinds who are smarter than me. I talked to my friend Brenan today and we giggled and made random jokes. I've known him since kindergarden, we didn't talk in high school, he went to a different school, but we went to college together and worked together. He used to be a Christian and he goes to school for philosophy now, and nows hes pretty much agnostic/athiest.. hmm... hes too smart to buy into any sort of religious bullshit. Heh.
Oct 4, 200412:32
My freinds seem to drop in quite a bit, so instead of being lonely, its nice to be able to blare my stereo at all hours of the day and talk to my freinds. Josh drop in after work and we hung out till 4am and went to krispy creme... hes a fun kid to talk to. I showed him how much better bme is compared to myspace. Now I need to mail my bills.. my car insurance is expensive.. I may have to pull out $$ from my savings until I get paid again... who knows.
Oct 3, 200422:31

I finished the bedroom and I have a lil more stuff to do tomarrow, but I really got my house put back together. I bought an aero bed today. Fucker was not cheap, but its definatly nice and it DOES inflate in 60 seconds, in case you have a demanding houseguest, you know. My freinds Johann and Angie came over today and we hung out at my house and went to dennys, Angie is coming over tomarrow on her way back from SD so it'll be nice to see her again. I got alot off my chest to the both of them, and its nice to know your friends don't think you are an asshole, despite what my situtation may look like if you take it out of context.
I also bought this nice dresser which tomarrow I will set up... haha "look at all these extra parts!"
Its nice to know there are still some honest people in the world left.
Oct 2, 200411:48
Sleeping on the floor really isn't that bad.... its just like a hard bed... my floor is full of feathers from my leaking down comforter tho, and it needs to be cleaned. I got most the living room down last night, I need to finish my bed room. I actually should get off my ass and go out to buy all the crap I need to buy...
My friend Johann is supposed to come over and hang out, hes a sweet kid, I feel worse for him because him and his wife are going through problems and they have a daughter.. and Johann is a NICE guy... argh.
Oct 2, 200403:14
So anyways I spent the whole night basically rearranging furniture and making a list of crap to buy/do. I feel so much better now that my house just... smells different. Allright, most of us know smells are linked to memories and emotions... and basically my house smelled like certain things, people, ect.. For long time the smells here reminded me of just bad memories.. and being here just gave me anxiety, so I couldn't stay here.. and it just affected my mood when I was here, just put me in a shitty mood in some way... now it smells different and looks different, and now I feel I can be here, in this apartment, in peace.
**F-LINK: zen0gjp-: but I still need to buy a bed.**

I forgot I took this at Kimmies the other week. It was in the elevator.
"I was here, but not as a fag!"
Oct 1, 200422:49
My house is totally trashed the fuck out. Wes came and got the rest of his stuff mostly... if there is one thing I like about moving, its organizing and cleaning and just cleaning out the shit I don't need any more... I have two days off and I intend on basically cleaning my house.
It started out as
"move the lamp, I'm taking that lamp." "thats my lamp from when I moved into my dads house." "that was in my room." "Don't fucking touch my fucking lamp!"
and ended up as "if you need anything just call me..." all I say is, "okay."
**F-LINK: nc8ldb1-: being an adult is hard**
Oct 1, 200401:58
I'm totally obsessed with Myers-Briggs personality types. Why are so accurate!?! Damn you. You know all my faults, stupid test.
Whoa, its weird to think I'm officially broken up with Wes... but in my head its felt like 3 or more months allready, my heart just wasn't in it since June. I guess I never said how bad things really were until I just told Wes when we were in Philly. I told other people beforehand and they knew how I really felt for a long time, but its just weird revealing it to people, even close freinds who had no idea. I hate drama, and I hate people making big deals out of the stupidest shit that goes on in their love life. Even if I'm writing online people read this, I still try and pursue a private life....
Sep 30, 200411:36
I went to taco loco last night with Nathan.. I love driving by the beach... I'm kinda glad I'll be moving to OC for a lil while with my sister, I'll be close to the beach again. The 133 is one of my favorite roads to drive. I actually slept well last night, the weather is finally nice and not 8 billion degrees when I am trying to sleep.
And soon I will have cable at my sisters which means Adult Swim and national geographic channel! And non crappy cable internet. Yeah.

I've done a good job avoiding sleeping at my house, in an empty bed, because good lord the cat bugs when hes in my room. I need to buy my own bed soon. I need to do alot of things I've been neglecting thanx to all the crap going on in the past few months. I definatly need more sleep. Everynight I try to fall asleep to the sounds of adult swim because it drowns out the sounds in my head.
I feel like I've developed ADD when I'm out and about and when I'm at work. I try to concentrate on all the thinsg I need to get done, and with a crappy memory and with my head trying to figure out "why did my life turn out this way?/how can I not make thses mistakes again?" I get so distracted that I forget halfway through what I'm doing. I drive in my car and listen to music. I spend the night at freinds houses because going home only makes everything worse.
I might end up moving to SD, I talked to my boss about it today and he said he'll look into it for me. Who knows.

Yeah! My internet is fixed! But now I have to work. How lame.
Sep 25, 200401:59
So I went to go and see "without a paddle" with some kids from work. Its funny... I'd give it a B-... It was originally supposed to be me and my friend Johann going out to talk because he needs someone to talk to right now about troubles with his wife. She shows up to pick him up from work because his car wouldn't start and invited herself along... his card wouldn't swipe at the theatre and so him and his wife ending up leaving, and I ended up with the other kids. Well, to make a long story short, we went to dennys and some bros were being assholes and trying to be funny when they saw an indie kid wearing girly pants, they turn and say "is that a boy or a girl?" And I was like, "Dude, unless you are going to fuck it, don't worry about it." He shut his dumb mouth. Having tattoos is rad, people don't give me nearly as much shit, I enjoy that.
Which, leads me to.. talking outside of dennys and the girl we were with, still obviously thinks that being girl means you need to act like its 1950, and standing up for people and telling stupid bros to shut their dumb fucking mouths means I'm bitchy. Argh. I love all you ladies on BME. I know when I hang out with the kids from here I can say that and get my high five, instead of "well, you are kind of bitchy."

Wes says I don't talk about him enough on my page, so here goes. I got sick and he came and brought me weed and food and watched me throw up until it made him want to throw up. And now hes over right now because he needs to use my debit card to buy supplies for his work and doesn't understand why I'm still mad at him because of all the bullshit in the past 3 years, and especially in the past three months. Why always the number 3?
Argh... now I'm just getting pissed off. I talked to my sister on my way back from LA and she was saying how my dad is telling my mom (they are divorced, but they still talk) that he "doesn't even know why hes here".. its tough watching your parents be depressed and knowing for a long time, the only thing that keeps them from putting a bullet in their head is pride and his love for his kids. People tell me to lighten up. Yeah, right when I'm afraid my dad is going to kill himself and I watch my mom throw herself in desperation at some internet dude who isn't right for her because shes so scared of being alone it makes me think, "gee life could be worse, I'm glad I'm not pregnant." For fucks sake I'm not pregnant because I know how to use birth control. And that shit could be fixed with a coat hanger. Watching my parents suffer in depression can't be fixed with 400$ and a quick trip to the doctor.
Now if I could only figure out why my cat throws stuff in the toilet?

2004/09/22 14:55 After being on the line with Verizon for the past HOUR, my modem has gone from 15kbps to 22kbps. Cool. The line is fucked, like I said before calling them because I'm not a fucking idiot. Why do I have to deal with these people, good lord? They said they are going to get a repair tech to service the line but who fucking knows.
My doctor just gave me lexapro samples, and recommended a therapist, which if I need anything its a fat bowl and someone who I can pay to listen to my pathetic problems. I adore my doctor even if she won't hand over the valiums. I hate pills anyways, I hate taking medicines, I take birth control which has good side effects and one bad one, protonix for heartburn which has no side effects and flounase for allegies which is a spray and works super well in keeping me from getting sick all the time, like most people at my work. SSRI's fuck with your head and make you think things are okay when they aren't, which is fine when you are really depressed, but the rest of the time you get so numb you don't enjoy the rest of life either. Lame. I watched my cousin take her fucking cocktail of anti-depressents and it was just not good, she was just FUCKED up... me, Dan and her bf just had to walk her to her room and lay her ass down. Then I watched Adult Swim and pretended everything was right with the world. I'd rather fucking suffer than take any SSRI's again.
My dads dog has stomach cancer and he has to put him to sleep, and my dad LOVES his dog, like, thats my dads best friend, that dog. Like in an almost creepy way.. so now I'm worried about my dad, (who I've been worried about for like, ever) I think I should adopt a dog for him at the animal shelter because hes gonna need a new freind and he doesn't have time for a puppy (too bad he hates cats, a cat would be ideal for him)... Argh. Good thing I'm getting tattooed today.
Sep 22, 200413:24
I've been a good little Erica and I got up early and went to the doctors this morning, and then went and got my oil changed, and then I've been doing stuff around the house I've been needing to get done. I should clean a bit more up too. I get tattooed in a few hours... yeah it been AWHILE. I've been listening to the Chemical Brothers "come with us" the last few days... Its a good album. I need to call Verizon and try and get my DSL fixed, its the total suck, its slower than dial up if it decides to work. Fuck this computer.
Sep 22, 200402:53
I've been trying to make an effort to take more pictures with my camara of my freinds and whatnot.... one of Angie when I was in in la, my cousin and her bf.. and one of dan, an old freind from high school. I went and hung out with my cousin and we drove along PCH, went for italian food and called Dan up and hung out with him. My cousin has problems, and was super fucked up most teh day. Dan STILL works for Mothers in HB and his brother is like 30 and still lives at home, which is amusing. Anyways, thats what I've been up to.

I fucking get people pretty damn easily. Not much suprises me about peoples personalities. I get why people do what they do, and why they act certain ways pretty easily just by talking to them a lil bit. Ask the right questions, its easy. And I know exactly why I act the way I act, so it amazes me that some people don't understand themselves very well and it takes them years to understand concepts about themselves that I knew after hanging out with them for a week. People are lame.
Sep 14, 200423:50
I don't deal well when I make people cry. I'm good at avoiding huting peoples feelings, but if I make people cry because I just want to be alone, I don't do so good. Hrm. Sorry kids.
I cleaned my house today but I still haven't done those dishes. I put the clean ones away... allthough, and made dinner and now I'm listening to Rushmore behind me. Its midnight and I'm kinda tired.. my internet is being slow and its pissing me the fuck off.
Sep 14, 200410:27
people on the internet are characters
People on the internet are fucking characters... man its weird sometimes talking to people.. whats weirder is basically seeing peoples online personalities and peoples offline personalities.. I'd like to say I'm pretty much the same online as I am offline. I'm pretty shy in person until I get to know you, but I guess I don't think I'm too different, but dude, I'm a total dork, hello... I have a sleeve of my little ponies... and a certain beanie baby lives in my car. I think sometimes people tend to forget that just because the interweb kids think you are cool, or whatever, that everyone else should to. Outside of your stupid interweb scene, nobody fucking knows you and nobody fucking cares. Real celebrities have big houses, we just have apartments.
It reminds me of the jocks who work at my work. Yeah, you were "popular" in high school when you were on the football team, but you work for costco, and NO ONE cares how many touchdowns you scored. Gawd I hate stupid dumbdaterapistsjocks. Did I ever tell you I played waterpolo and was on swim team in high school? Hhahahaha.

Sometimes the coolest people people come into my work.. I saw some monks today with handpoked tattoos.. one had a budda backpiece... I wanted to follow them around, but well, I was supposed to be pretending to work. My new boss is a total slacker which is cool because I'm a harder worker than he is, and when I slack off its not a big deal, but not cool because I hate when crap doesn't get done.
Tommarrow I'm supposed to go bowling with freinds from work... I hate most the people I work with, but sometimes being social with those kids is good. Wensday I'll be in OC visiting my family, and Thursday I'll be in LA visiting my freind Angie... Um, I wish I had a bowl to smoke that would be very nice. I should actually be making an effort to clean my house. But I don't feel like it.
Well, Argh. I wish I had a real diary that no one reads where I'd write down all the shit that keeps me up at night.
Sep 13, 200400:50
Me and Wes went to go and see napoleon dynamite. It was lame. Its a bad Wes Anderson rip off. If you are too stupid to get the Royal Tenenbaums or Rushmore you would also like this movie. And I may also recommend, "The Village" to you.
My cashews are all eaten up. So sad. Um, I'm tired... and nobody fun will be at work tomarrow. I'm out dudes.

Dating tips for girls.
Dude. Its been a weird year lately. People getting married, people breaking up and people just trying to work shit out. Life has felt very surreal lately. I took a drive tonite by myself and just drove around town... late night drives are the best.. I either like to rock out by myself in the car or drive with friends.
Stress is a good diet aid, even if you don't want to lose weight. I lost at least 10lbs so far. And my boobs got smaller. Crappy. Or well, the rest of me looks good.
Listening to the kids at work bitch about relationship, specifically with girls. Girls are stupid. Why they make the same mistakes over and over I do not know! God its fucking simple. Don't fuck a guy when you first hang out/go on a date. For fucks sake, wait a lil while. If they want to hang out, they'll call. You don't need to call a guy like 800 times. Or 5 or whatever the case may be. Stop thinking you are ugly/fat. Insecurity is opposite of hot. Sex and Relationships are two different things. Having sex with a dude, does not entitle you to a relationship with said dude. If you think you are going to get all attached and heartbroken, don't have sex. They aren't going to want to be with you anymore if you have sex with them, than they did before you fucked them. Most guys seperate girls into 2 catagories, girls they'd bring home to mom, and girls they'd just bring home. Where as most girls seperate guys into guys they'd date, guys they wouldn't date. Now for the good news - If a dude tells you live too far, or they just aren't ready for a relationship, they aren't worth your fucking time. Get over it and remember there are more fish in the sea. Don't ever wait around for any guy. Allright that concludes the sermon.

I love having days off where I don't have anything to do until 6pm.... I'm gonna go take a shower now tho anyways.
I've been making a serious effort to be more social and its been working well, I've been out with my freinds everyday pretty much. Its been nice. After 2 1/2 years of no social life due to other reasons... I've been hanging out more, and its been good.
Sep 9, 200402:26
I was extremely productive today. I woke up at 10am thanx to my stupid cat who thought it was a good idea to play with my feet. I hung around the house cleaning a lil and getting my laundry together. I talked to my friend Angie for an hour which was nice.. we made plans to hang out.
I got ready to go do laundry when Josh called, so I told him I was going to come over and pick him up, because he is a flakey loser. I drove ACROSS town, and anyone who lives in temecula knows how far that is. Well, not too far, but still, too far for the same damned city. We went to Del Taco, and he made me laugh so hard while I was trying to eat that I bit the side of my mouth till I was bleeding. Cool. Then we went to the smoke shop and back to my house, waking up Matt twice, once to make him fix the tv so I we could watch Wave Twisters. Then i drop him back off.
Then I actually did my laundry. And I even put it away.
And THEN, I bleached my hair, and cut it too.
And I even updated my MySpace account and found some of my freinds online.. if you have MySpace go add me fools. I'm here.
Now its 2:30am, and I should go to sleep. Which I plan on doing. See, productive. I told you.
Sep 8, 200415:39
Did I say time for laundry, I meant time to edit my photos. And to slack off until its not so damned hot out again. My head hurts, I haven't smoked all day... need nicotene.
Anyone know how to make it so it doesn't put your outgoing messages in your outbox? Is that even possible? Any help would be appreciated.
Sep 8, 200413:57
Lets recap. Here are some pictures from the other day... Max and Matt.. the two graffiti friends. (well, I think they must be freinds). And some pictures I took today. My makeup looks good too. (ps- the only makeup I'm wearing is eye makeup and lip gloss) Yeah! Time for laundry now.
Sep 8, 200410:51
WTF is going on next door. It is fucking loud. I figured out how much $$ wes owes me. Its a 130$ a week for 8 weeks. You do the math. Thats his bills combined with the previous $$. My apt people haven't cashed our rent check yet, which is totally weird since they usually cash it the next day. Wes was sweet and went out yesterday and bought me ciggerettes. My cat was annoying this morning and knocked my plugs behind my bed... I woke up DRENCHED in sweat, I felt like I'd taken a shower at 5am this morning... it was fucking hot in my room.
I should really do laundry, and do my highlights today. That should be my plan of action.
Sep 7, 200413:02
I'm off to another day at work. I'm so not excited.
Me and Wes decided that we are going to have him live with his mom while I live at the apartment for two months to try and work things out, we decided that a few days ago.. I feel so much better, thats for sure..
Sep 5, 200412:47
Matt, is like, totally singing in the shower. I can hear him from the computer. I can't make out any of the words.
Roomates are fun, don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

I still need to dye my hair. I FINALLY met TattooJay when he came into my work. We've lived in the same city, and we haven't met, when ironically I've met people from all over on IAM, but not him.. so he came into costco and I finally got a chance to say hi.. I love meeting IAM kids. I think they are made of the best stuff on earth.. or that what apple juice is made of?
Sep 2, 200411:27
dont ever say "it can't happen to me."
Note to anyone who wants to talk shit on me:
Kiss my fucking ass. You don't know the whole story, which I don't choose to reveal here for voyeurs. I hope life never fucks you over... scratch that, I hope life DOES fuck you over, hard, so when you fall I can laugh even harder.
You find out who your real freinds are when shit goes down it seems. And I have a damn good set of freinds and family. Thank you.
Sep 2, 200410:59
I have no fucking idea how to work our new thermostat, its been driving me fucking nuts for weeks. I turned the AC off right now, and lo and behold, its STILL running, WTF? I went and talked to the apt people about our lease, the people who run this complex are totally cool.
Last night me and wes went for a drive, which for some weird reason I talk in the car and don't shut up.. so we talked fro a few hours and I finally got alot of shit off my chest. Now if I could convince someone I still need to have private thoughts and some sort of private life. When someone makes such a huge effort to read my IAM messages and AIM messages when I'm not looking it pisses me off because there isn't anything to find.. but I feel as though my trust has been broken even more. But other than that bullshit, I feel better about our future.
I have 4 days off starting sunday. I have plans for most those days... I hope all my freinds get back from burning man soon, (those jerks) because they are having fun while I'm at home slaveing away at costco and I haven't hung with anyone in like a week.
Sep 1, 200409:22
I started reading a bunch of my old diary entries last night... way to feel like a dumbass. My diary on here is 4 1/2 years old and I have refrained from deleting my entries because it does a good job putting me into perspective. I started my diary in Jan 2000 here on iam and I try to be faithful to writing in it... I've definatly gorwn the fuck up in theat time, but I still have the same worries (money, and being independent finacially, security), but I've learned a lot about relationships (not a single guy on the planet is worth waiting for, if they want to be with you, they will make it happen) and jeez, alot about life. The same shit still annoys me, (I was complaining about scenster kids in one entry) but not nearly as much since dude, I'm 24, if you are 24, and still try to fit into a scene, you need to get a fucking life.
I'm so frustrated with my bank, I swear I'm going to open another account somewhere else. I told them one simple thing and they STILL messed up... changing banks is a total pain in the ass, but I'm sick of BofA and all their stupid bullshit.
Aug 31, 200417:29
Man I will miss coming to "Hi, I'm stark raving naked!" Only to see Matt's bare upper half (thank gawd the kitchen counter covered the rest), when I come home from work early. Having funny roomates is cool. So sad.
Aug 31, 200400:24
Well, I got 2 out of 5 of those things done, but I have more stuff to do tomarrow.
Aug 30, 200411:24
Why don't I have a crystal ball to look into the future? Dammit! Where is Ms. Trelawny when I need her!! I went shopping for sodas yesterday and today me and Wes are gonna clean the house and he goes to get tattooed tonite, and watching someone get tattooed is fucking boring after you know, you've had like 100 hours of tattooing done, that shits only interesting when you want tattoos and don't have any. He is getting tattooed by Jim, and Jim is a party in a box. So I might go.
Things to do -
Clean the house
Go by the rental office
Go by the cosmo school
Go to the bank, open an account for Wes
Dye my hair
Aug 29, 200422:25
My head is hurting, and my eyeballs are burning. Argh. What was three, will be 2. Its hot and gross in here and I feel really unmotivated to clean my house.
Aug 28, 200410:58
Argh, I think I'm getting sick... someone I made out with in Philly had strep throat so I hope I don't get that, but my throat hurts, and I woke up today feeling pretty crappy, bodily at least. I don't want to be sick being sick sucks a whole lot. Monday, I'll either try to get into the doctors or make an appointment for next week. My schedule next week is pretty decent, but tonite I have to stock, and I don't know if anyone is stocking with me, I can't lift the shit by myself so someone better be there to help or shit ain't gonna get done.
Wes is right about about me wanting people to be someone thing they are not, and then getting mad when they aren't, even though I KNEW before hand that they weren't. Like I buy a dog, when I want a cat, and then get mad at the dog for not being a cat. I get mad at my friends for not sticking to plans instead of being happy they are spontanious. I get mad at Wes for not being good at money or being able to take care of himself, when I knew this all beforehand. Fate plays funny tricks on you. It puts the right people in your life at the wrong time. Of course I have no patience. Why didn't we meet when we were older? And maybe things would be easier. Would we be the same people? Would we want the same things out of life? Am I just being emo because I'm all sickly feeling?
I really need to go back to school I think about it on a daily basis. I need to go back to the school i want to go to and talk to them again about finicial aid. I need to do something with my life, because allthough I like my job at costco and I will always make a living wage working for that company (when I top out next year, I will make around 35K or so)and I have security with benefits.. but I don't want to work for costco, and I don't want to have to wear long sleeve shirts and not be able to have facial piercings if I choose. I could easily go back, I have a perfect schedule worked out in my head, I don't know if I would have to transfer out of my department, back to the front end... either way, I really don't want 4K in debt going to school, but I want to have my cosmo license. Argh.
Aug 27, 200423:03
rambling rant about how friends suck.
Why is it so hard to find freinds who call when they say they are going to call, make plans for a future date or just in general not flake the fuck out??? If I say I'm going to call, I call, if I say I'll be there at 7pm I'm there at 7pm. I hate laggers and I hate flakes. And recently I've been trying to make an effort to not sit at home so much and go out with my friends, but only like 2 of my friends are able to make plans and stick to them.. and its driving me fucking nuts. It makes me not want to be freinds with them, even tho they are great people because I get so let down when people flake out on me. I don't like 95% of people in general. 5% of people I want to be freinds with. 2% live too far or are too busy or have conflictiung scedules. 2% can't make a plan to hang out to save their lives. And 1% actually make plans and we hang out. On time even. Ugh.
Aug 27, 200410:41
I need my allergy meds dude.. my throat is starting to hurt, and I really don't plan on getting sick anytime soon. I feel so much better than I've felt in the past 2 months right now about my situation, I knew last night I'd feel this way when I woke up. I always feel so much better after I make decisions, instead of going WTF am I supposed to do??? I really ought to clean my house, its messy.
Aug 26, 200420:53
I want to redo my page again. My eyeballs will NOT stop burning! Goddamit!
I took half a celexa today after taking a bath and feeling like I was gonna have a panic attack or something. Then proceeded to throw up, and I remembered why I can't possibly take that crap no matter how fucking rough it is. I have made some decisions for my life and plans for the future that I really don't feel like sharing with anyone. I still have a headache and I wish stupid Josh would call with my crap. I don't want to go back to work tommarrow but I'm sure I will be just fine for the next few months in the time being with the decisions I've made. I think I still up in arms about lots of things and I hate not being able to make commitments to ideas or plans but sometimes you just have to go with it.
All my freinds are leaving for burning man this weekend and I'm so jealous dammit! I wanted to go every year, and every year nobody wanted to go, and the one year when I decide to go on vacation to philly, all my friends go to burning man. You all suck. And I hope you guys actually have a really fun time and be safe kids.
I should go dye my hair because my roots look like total crapola.
Aug 26, 200415:05
So, I was pretty much waiting for this to happen, waiting for all the outside pressure to just make me crack finally. Last night my sister calls me crying telling me about her friend Bill from high school... his brother killed himself... Bills parents died a few years apart when he was in high school and his brother was the only family he had left now hes gone too... and this morning after not being able to sleep till 3am and waking up at 6am... I just started crying before I got into work, and started crying at work. I wasn't doing so hot trying to work and cry so they said I could go home. And then the phone wouldn't let me sleep, and now I have a headache and I'm sitting on the computer in my underwear. I don't have any desire to do much of anything right now... I should pay my bills and dye my hair and get on with normal daily life because I feel pretty unbalanced right now. I called Josh, and allthough I don't have the desire to be stoned at all, I need some sort of chemical fix. So hopefully in a few hours that will be delivered. I'm back at home just hanging out with a shitty headache.
On a better note I'm glad I got to hang out with my freinds the last few days and I say thank you to all my friends (you know who you are) for listening to my endless babbling about my pathetic problems, thanx kids . And to those fairweather freinds who are only there when its convienent, you can fuck off and die, and when you have actual problems (you know things more important than your lack of gfs and bfs) I hope the people who you thought would be there for you to talk to, will turn their backs on you too. :)
Aug 24, 200420:07
Man, who the fuck still uses AOL and dial up? Oh wait, my mom does. And I'm at my moms right now. I just got out of the bath. Fun stuff duder. I went and got my toes done today with my sister and my niece. I also went out to lunch with my mom and my sister, and then slummed around my moms house watching VH1's most shocking moments in rock history. After being on BME/hard NOTHING on that show is shocking. Not a goddam thing people put on tv is shocking. The only shocking thing is that people actually watch that crap.
Aug 22, 200419:42
I feel like I'm treading water right now. I hate having stoner freinds who flake out when they are supposed to call. I need a cigarette.
Aug 22, 200418:31
Picture time!
Shawn, Kat and Dorky dancing it up at the bowling alley
Steve peacefully sleeping before I got to brush his beard
Brian looking sexy as hell.
Whatever picture they are looking at must be good.
Me and Wes. Dude I must be high
Max's broken toof. Its charming ladies.
Wes drinking it up.
Me fellating the statue
Me and Wes outside the Mutter Museum.
Max outside the museum.
Trying to take a picture of the weenie, but at least I got an accurate picture of the city, well, Max did.
Aug 22, 200417:07
Philly.
Allright I guess I should actually make an update about my trip. I'll try to do this as much as possible in chronological order.
Friday night we got on the plane at 1:50am.. no complications, flying out of ontario was easy. we arrived at 11am philly time and Max came to pick us up in the van with Jim... White molester van. Where do they even sell those things? Max hands me a joint and well, I could tell this was going to be a good vacation. We arrive downtown and get into max's place, five flights of stairs every freaking time. Then we went to a party and Shawn and Loos house. Something about a bed breaking and I had to walk around in my underwear most the night.
The next day was the philly bbq at Park Ghetto. My only complaint was the east coast kids didn't wear name tags. So I don't know that many names and IAM names so I can't properly thank you for the good time. I drank bucket. It was fun. At the bowling alley I watched people bowl and dance it up. We basically took over the bowling alley. Go us. AND, I got to comb bucket's beard while he slept (not passed out, his shoes were off) in Brians car. That was the best.
The next day me, max, wes, shawn and leah went to see AVP. And um, some aliens versed some preditors. I tried watching texas chain massacre at their house which didn't quite turnout. I shouldn't watch that movie high anyways.. too weird.
Tuesday, wensday, thursday, I basically smoked alot of shitty philly weed , peed alot (as usual) visited a bars and drank ginger ale and smoked menthols. One of those days we went to the Mutter musuem, which was way cool. Babies in jars. Rad. Me and Max coerced wes into letting us do acid, so on thursday I think it was, me and max took one tab of crappy acid and hung out in rittenhouse square and this dude Alans house. Alan, was this 60-70ish year old artist guy who was just great, I keep that guy under my bed or something, he was the coolest.
Friday me and wes went to "the bike stop" with shawn and I peed alot as usual, and hung out for a bit. I tried sleeping that night unsuccessfully, and flew home at 8am philly time and got to ca 4pm and went to Ambers wedding. Came home, slept, went to work. And now I am home again. Thanx for everything - Brian, Shawn, Leah, Bucket, & basically all the kids on the east coast for a fucking rad 8 days.
Aug 21, 200423:32
Well, I made it back alive... I would write a long detailed post about my trip but I am delerious from lack of sleep. So that will have to wait.
Aug 18, 200402:10
.
I hate this phone. I am having too much fun in philly. But the weed sucks here, poo on that.

rant
You know what I'm supposed to be doing right now? I'm supposed to be sleeping. But I'm not because there is a big stupid thunderstrom outside. Yes, God has smote us and we had to wake up to the worlds loudest thunderstorm when I just need some fucking sleep. I slept 11 hours the night before, but the still I want nice regular sleep. I also want some nice regular food but I haven't been hungry thanx to the stres factor.
On a cool note I got to yell at this boss I hate yesterday for treating me like an idiot, because Im a girl. That was entertaining. I told our manager Darrell(higher than us) about what was going on and he said I could talk to him in the office... the dipshit I yelled at tried to bring in some girl as a witness, and I was like "What are you doing?" And he said "Well its appropriate to bring in another girl if I'm talking to a girl in the office alone." I looked at him and said "Thats NOT costco procedure, I'm getting Darrell, if you want a witness." He kinda panicked and didn't want Darrell to see me yell at him. Afterwards, Darrell says to me "If that guy gives you anymore shit, you tell me." Haha, that fucking rules....
Not like I want to look older or be any different size than like, 5'1" and 110lbs, but that shit can be a disadvantage if you are trying to get people to take you seriously. At least I have the ability to be a giant asshole when I need to be, and the ability to keep my cool when things are way stressed out.
Aug 13, 200400:55
Trip tomarrow. See you kids in philly. Be back on the 21st..
Aug 11, 200422:07
I should really be cleaning my house, but I really don't want to. I need to clean it before I go to Philly. I should even pack alot tonite.
I feel pretty overwelmed right now with all the shit going on. This vacation will be good for me.
My back feels like I slept on a bag of rocks, dude. It hurts. Back pain sucks. And I wish I weren't so lazy and I would actually make an effort to clean my house.
Aug 9, 200422:50
Some pictures of my arm that are current.... And one current picture of me.
Aug 9, 200400:41
Well, that proves that. I called Max and its 1am our time and about 6am in philly, and Max is wide awake, just like Wes said he would be. FGunny thing, Max is moving back to CA the week we get back into town. Oh the irony. Our trip is going to be super good. I have lots of $$ for it.
Well, I ought to get to bed soon...
Aug 8, 200411:17
Dude, there is alot of laundry to get done. I need to stop at target and do a lil philly shopping before we go. I have my ride to the airport settled. I cut charllottes hair last night and it was funny, she ended up my twin.. hahaha, tricked her again! No, I just practice on myself first then do the same cuts on people. My cd burner is being good and letting me actually letting me burn cds at 48x. Well, I think. Anyways I have errands and laundry to do.
Aug 7, 200400:30
So, uh, me and wes went to go see the village. That movie was a steamy pile of crap. So, uh, don't waste your money, unless you like to watch movies mst3 style. Which is always funny. Wes is trying to get me to watch Bad Santa with him. No, I just spent 2 hours in the theatre watching a horrible movie and I don't have the attention span to watch 2 crappy movies. And I fucking hate christmas time. I know this sounds crazy, but my work ALLREADY has Christmas stuff. No fucking joke. Costco's christmas season goes from August to Febuary. Ugh.
Sunday, I need to do laundry because I'm wearing christmas socks (and we know how I feel about xmas). And Monday, me and wes have plans to go to the zoo, but I should buy tickets at my work because they are cheaper. We leave for philly next saterday so I have the rest of the crap I need to take care of this week.
Aug 6, 200412:00
My paycheck was fucking huge.. so it was either my overtime or I actually got my raise. I guess I'll see when I actually pick up the check today when I get to work. I have to go and work in photo, lame.

Aug 5, 200403:19
I am sunburnt and hungry again. Curse you sun!!!
Aug 3, 200420:19
Wow, I sure am glad I have someone to go through my pictures on my IAM page to delete the ones that aren't up to standard. And the same people go through pictures of my friends to delete the ones they don't like. Thanx.
Aug 3, 200410:36
My cat wants to cuddle but I want to type. And I also don't want to go to work. Yesterday was shitty because I was in the photo department, hopefully today won't be like yesterday and besides I get off earlier. Having days off in the nmiddle of the week is werid, and I wish I had two days off in the row, but then again it breaks up the week. Oh well.
Aug 2, 200421:21
Allright, who has a crush on me on IAM crush, I have three secret crushes, but I think I know who one is....? I have 6 shared crushes, so I know who those are... but who else???
Aug 2, 200411:33
I suck at d&d, I have the attention span of an 8 year old add kid when it comes to things moving too slowly for me. What do you mean I have about 20 halfway finished books on my bookshelf? My house is a total mess and I should be cleaning it right now but instead, my attention span dragged in into the dreaded interweb of doom.
Yesterday I hung out with my mom and she made me a lea of plumeria flowers just like you'd get in hawaii. It smells nice so I hung it on the porch. We went out to dinner and it was gross and I went home.
Wensday I'm going to lake mission viejo with my sister and niece, which I have never been to, I don't usually like lakes, but hopefully my sister isn't lying when she says its clean. Then I'm supposed to go to ltaco loco with Nathan. Laguna Beach is nice. And saterday Marissa is coming over since she hasn't hung out with me for WEEKS! Shes too cool for me now I guess. ;)
Aug 1, 200422:05
You are a Fulci Zombie. The incessant beating of the native drums has awakened you to feed on the living. You're not real clear on why. You feed on living human tissue and can be killed by any sharp blow to the head.
Man, my cat is smelly, I NEED to buy him more cat litter, I'll do that tonite if I have ot buy it from the normal store (can you tell I do most my shopping at costco?). Tonite I get to help stock giant tvs.. this is not going to be fun, because th guy I'm stocking with is like, my size, literally.
I'm going to my moms on sunday, for the first time in like forever, my niece won't be there... wow, amazing! My mom watches my nice like 3 days aweek when my sister & her hubby are at work.. so everytime I try to hangout with my mom I'm babysitting while my mom trys to smoke a cigarette.
Jul 30, 200408:29
Yeah, waking up at 8am is fucking cool when you went to bed at 330am. No wait, it fucking sucks. I need my 10 hours of sleep. At least I can sleep in till noon tommarrow if need be. And who needs sleep when they make red bulls?
part2:
I went to mcdonalds to try and be sweet and suprise wes with breakfast, but he didn't want my mcdonalds breakfast. :(
My doctor gave me a month of protonix free because he said i could have just called in (or slept in dammit), but that didn't work last time, and I needed part 2 of my hepatitus vaccine. (anyone getting tattooed or pierced I suggest getting vaccinated.)
I drove to OC and hung out with Nathan last night. He lives like 5 miles from my moms and sisters house which is totally weird. Its like Marissa lives 5 miles from where I grew up in OC too. We watched aqua teen hunger force and I talked to wes on the phone. It was almost like I didn't leave home. ;)
I should finish this coffee because I feel like falling back asleep right about now.
Jul 29, 200406:54
Worst fucking heartburn at 2:30am last night. Good lord. I'm going to my docters tommarrow, but until then I really need to pick something up besides tums because it is like, out of control.
Jul 28, 200412:28
New poll. Vote. I hate working.
Jul 28, 200402:26
its 2:30am and everyone else on the planet is happily asleep. I'm just wearing a damp tshirt and hoping I can fall asleep. My work schedule is lame... but my job is cool. Why can't it ever be both?!?!? Oh well. Everyone on the interweb is asleep. And the computer behind me is making random noises.
Jul 27, 200412:16
part 2:
Some of my friends are so rad, even the ones that say "I told you so".
Jul 27, 200411:02
My cat purrs so damned loud it sounds like he has disease. But he doesn't, he just purrs ALOT. He makes my eyes burn and my nose stuffy tho, I think I need allegra or something. I made a docters appointment for friday moring, I dunno why I made it so early oh well, I need to get allegra, and something for my heartburn again.. because I enjoy eating all the wrong kinds of food.
I ended up cleaning my house AND playing final fantasy go me. I don't want to go to work. I have to close almost every night this week.
We are going to philly in about 2 1/2 weeks so I'm excited. I've saved up about 500, and I'll have 650$ by the time we leave I do think. Wes needs to save up $$ now. Well thats it for this pointless entry.
Jul 26, 200420:43
Went to the beach and hung out down in oceanside. I am super tired now and I just took a bath. Wes just came home... my house is kinda messy and I need to clean it. My tummy has been driving me crazy for days now... but I can't do anything to fix it.. I think I might take a nap or play final fantasy soon.
Jul 25, 200423:06
I think I laughed too much today... a friend at work had no sleep and was all cracked out, like I get which is just funny. Then Amber came over and we made fun of Lisa. Hahaha. Wes got the new season of aqua teen hunger force so thats what I'll be watching tomarrow. I should go visit my family this week, my sister keeps trying to get me to come down wensday, but I don't have that off. Oh weeell.
Tommarrow I don't work so I'm going to watch cartoons and clean my house because matt and wes allready started messing it up. Those fuckers. Oh and the krispy creme opened today...
On a fucking other note, I still have the hardest time talking about shit that bothers me/or that is inside my head so I ended up not being honest with people. Argh. Oh well. Whatever.
Jul 25, 200410:03
So I came home from work and watched unico in the island of magic, and I must say that movie is still fucked up. The puppet guy is fucking scary, what the fuck were my parents thinking when I saw this movie when I was like 8??? Yeah, so thats what I did saterday night, inventory then watching movies by myself because thats what all the cool kids do on saterday nights.
Jul 24, 200422:43
You Have Magical Boobs!
Your boobs have a total hyponotic effect on men
Forget what the rest of you looks like, you're a perfect ten
Your breasts are perky, shapely, and just the right size
You'll use them to your advantage, if you're wise
My cat was just fine when I get home.. I'm sure he had plenty of toilet water to drink while we were gone. I have an hour before I have to go to work, I wonder what days I have off next week..? I think I'll go and visit my family one day next week. They will feed us at work because of inventory, but I;m hungry now, time to go and get some food.
Jul 24, 200401:55
Today at con I saw everyone from BME. Actually thats not true, I saw Cat and talked to him for a few minutes... We also met Masuimi and talked to her.. she was little! I saw Allen with her but didn't get a chance to say hi. Then Kat (galdra), Stephanie (frogger jenkins), Brian (perk900) and Shawn (shawn.spc) showed up so we went to hooters for drinks. Fuck you hooters and hyatt downstairs bar. You suck alot. Ayelet, and her bf Ryan also showed up and we went back to the hotel room and drank there. Well, I didn't drink. And people watched me pee and there was much showing of genitals and boobies. Well, I'm tired and so I'm going to sleep because I have to get up and drive back to temecula and go to WORK. Work sucks.
Jul 23, 200410:06
Well I didn't sleep more than 3 hours last night. So I feel like I'm on some sort of crack induced non-sleep high. Poor everyone who has to be around me. Um, I hope I don't end up killing people who walk in front on me at comic con. I had a damn good margarita last night at the hyatt bar. I've decided I like good margaritas.
My boss tried to kill (because of our weak hearts haha) me and Josh (my coworker) last night by taking out one of the 1800$ watches from our jewelry case last night and not telling us where it was. So we freaked out for about 20 minutes till we found it. Yeah that was cool.
I've never been written up or fired from any job, (only been promoted because I fucking rule) and I don't plan on starting now because of other idiots mistakes. I really like my department so thats cool. I can actually enjoy working with some people.
So today after 3 hours I'm going to walk around Con and hopefully see some freinds who I don't get to see as much as I should.
Jul 23, 200401:08
Dude, I had the weirdest dreams last night, I think it had something to do with staying up too late. Anyways I'm in SD now, ad I'm staying somewhere nice, this chicks apartment. This keyboard I'm using fucking rules, its clean and wireless. Amber and me are hanging out sunday I have alot to talk to her about.
Yesterday after driving wes to san diego some fucking truck decided to fall over and cause a chemical spill and shut down the freeway on the way back. So I had to take the 15 to the 78, to the 5 back to the 76, and the 76 had two accidents on it... Oh man I was pissed. I hate traffic.
Today our ceo comes in. I hope by the time I'm at work hes allready left. And I'm driving back to comic-con and staying down there tommarrow and friday, but I have to go back to work on saterday because we have inventory, how totally lame.
Our philly vacation is comeing up, I'm excited, a week off and a BME bbq... yeah, way cool.
Wes and Matt are both gone with comiccon and I cleaned the house yesterday amazing how it stays clean when they are gone. It must be because I make all the mess. :)
Jul 21, 200400:23
So I have no idea where I put Wes's Comic Con regestration so I ended up buying him a new one. I just saw it like 2 weeks ago.... it should have been with the rest of the paperwork in the house. Fuck. I should just go back to playing video games. My period and my job are making me all stressful. Our CEO visits AND Inventory is this week... Our CEO is coming on thursday, so we are trying to fix all the shit that has needed fixing for weeks. And then we inventory the WHOLE building (100k items at least) on saterday. We will all be happy when this week is over and we can get back to normal. Fun Times.
The general population can totally suck it too.
Jul 20, 200420:12
Wee! I added some people onto my crush list. :) Wes has a crush on me too! :)
Jul 20, 200419:59
My job is still fun, I should take a bath now. Thats about it for now.
Jul 17, 200401:08
I will be at comic-con on friday I will prolly stay down there thursday and friday night and then go back to work for inventory, Fun Stuff that inventory is. An entire costco warehouse. So at leaste I get to go one day, thursday would have been my ideal day but whatever. I need to actually call kimmy to see if I can get an appointment in. I go to the fair on sunday... and soon I will be going on my trip to philly, 3 more weeks.. I have lots of $$ saved up and I'm still saving up more. I think its time for bed now tho. I'm sleepy.
Jul 17, 200401:07
Dear everyone who is on this site (http://www.fotolog.net/) - Brazilians don't speak spanish you dumb fucks, they speak portuguese, don't you know anything about the papal line? And if you want your picture taken off this site do what I did and email the site admin threatening to sue. It worked for "lady tattoos" pictures of hot BME chicks. She posted some big long entry in her blog?, after they were taken down, but I have no idea what it says. Prolly something about calling me an asshole.
Jul 15, 200400:44
Anyways, I like to bleach my ahir in the middle of the night, so I uh, did blonde in my hair, it turned out pretty well, the toner worked well even if I had to wash it twice before it was not green, damn you ash blondes! My goldfish turned white and hes my favorite... one of our fishies died last week so now we are down to 4, we've had them all since our wedding, so they have sentimental value... so heres my hair and my fishies.
Jul 14, 200420:00
Start rant: Ugh, some of the managers at my work are just fucking pieces of shit. At least since I've been there, 2 of my fave supervisors have been have been promoted to managers. But there are those few who can kiss my fucking ass. If I turn down my radio/walkie to talk to a customer because its rude to have my ass blaring at them, especially if they are sixty and up and can't hear so well. And if my manager can't understand that, then they shouldn't be manager if they don't understand customer service. I'm sick of this one fucking piece of shit talking to me like an asshole, we do inventory on all of our high end jewelry every night, this piece of shit wasn't even checking to see if the jewelry was there for days and marking it off as being in outr store when we sold it days ago. Yeah, sorry, 4000$ pieces of jewelry are important to actually be checking. But I'm sure his boss, our store manager would love to hear about that. Warning to anyone who works with me. Don't get on my bad side, & let me find out you are doing something REALLY bad, or I will get your ass written up or fired.
Ugh, I didn't sleep well last night, I think my room was too hot or something, then at 9:30am my stomach started bothering me... I need to stop eating what I've been eating. Tastes good, but wrecks my stomach.
Yesterday I hung out with my mom and my niece, then went to Marissas house and we hung out and got food, and I saw some giant houses up in the hills, sometimes I forget they have such rich areas in OC. Then we went and watch a Hard days night while I did Marissas make-up. I'm trying to build up a portfolio... which would be nice if I go back to school and eventually get my license, which I plan on going back in january. Hopefully I can stay in my department and go back.. but who knows. Anyways off to check my bank accout and take a shower.
Jul 7, 200420:40
Im allready getting sick of guys asking me "do you work here" (no I wear this name tag for fun, idiot) then asking me "can you get someone to help me?" Like I'm somehow incapable of helping them because I possess a vagina. So there a few ways of dealing with this, saying "sure I'll get someone" and walking away and helping the people who aren't sexist pieces of shit. Or explaining that I'm here to help them and there isn't anyone else available to help answer their moronic questions which are printed on the signs next to the items.
Example, one of the coworkers who I actually like said to me "can you get someone else?" before he even ASKED me a question. After another guy came over, he listened to him (saying exactly what I said, except I differ in the opinion that emachine computers are pieces of total crap and I also wouldn't buy a Kia or new VW).. then said coworker asks stupid question "Why does this one have a picture of a flower on it and this one is blue?", referring to the desktop of two different computers. So I finally just gave him shit "Look, if you don't know why the desktops are different I can definatly answer your questions." he replied "well, uh, well... I just didn't know, your new over there..." Yeah fuck off, and your wife divorced you and dates fat dude now.
Jul 2, 200423:00
Um, this week thus, I went to LA to buy plugs from Borneo Joe before he goes back to Bali in a few weeks, I bought these sweet silver plugs with a steel tunnel, and pertrified wood ones as well. I've been sleeping with my plugs out and my ears are super fat now so they look nice. Me and wes took Nathan up there who was funny when he talked about girls.
Last night Marissa came over and we hung out, I want to teach her to knit, it was nice having a girl around we don't get enough of those around my house.
Jul 1, 200400:38
Haha, instead of asking for my 500$ back for my fucked up tattoo I'll gladly tell all the people who ask me where to go about my experiances with Outer Limits tattoo and why I wouldn't go there again. After having two tattoos fucked up their artists, and my best freind, also having one tattoo fucked up by them, (also see - startoedsneech) I can saftly say, they don't live up to their self-proclaimed reputation of "quality" tattoo work. So, don't get tattooed by Brian Ragisun & Linda Lee Tobin if you want work that isn't colored outside the lines (aka Linda) and work that doesn't require going to the docter because you have second degree chemical burns (aka Brian).
Here are some examples if you missed them the first time about my arm.
I also got a tshirt from Linda (and a good coverup job from kimmie thank gawd) and a half assed "hows your arm?" two weeks later from Brian. Haha, thanx. While I won't ever see that $$ again, I will do my best to tell everyone not to get work done by you costing you well over 500$. :) Suckas.
Jun 30, 200412:26
If you like modest mouse, there are still tickets left for two la shows available via ticketmaster. I'm porr so I can't go. :(
My tummy is still bothering me.... I feel like throwing up again, Ugh, I think it was that last hamburger I ate because halfway through I was like, "dude, this shit ain't cooked so well." And set it down. My tummy is rumbly as well. eerp.
Jun 28, 200412:47
I didn't feel so good yesterday, I think I ate some stuff from that grill that wasn't quite done well. All my cooking skills went downhill after hanging out in the magic tent. I have today and tomarrow off. I just took a shower so I feel a lil better, but I really need to clean the house, I have tommarrow off too. eerrr.. my tummy is not right yet. I need to eat something, that I won't puke up. I also need to empty off the computer desk since we are moving it over to where the table is. Me and wes both like moving furniture around. Allright, I better get off this time sucking waste of plastic and metal.
ps I almost forgot I saw farenhiet 9/11 which was like "stupid white men" the movie... I hope everyone goes out to see this movie. I know most people are too lazy to read a book, so hopefully this movie will get people to figure out how evil the bush administration is.
**F-LINK: qe98upq-: the internet is evil!!!**
Jun 27, 200413:48
Well I had alot of fun at the bbq.. I got the chance to really cook it up for everyone... I think think we needed two meat grills at one point because everyone was cooking so damned much, I still have another whole pack of burgers left..I don't know if they are safe to eat, so I may throw them out. Actually I take that back, I know I shouldn't eat them, but we prolly will anyways..
I'm going to pretend I'm on kissfm or power106 and give the shout outs to my homies here in no particular order-
Dave (midian2000) dude, you are the host with the most, you made this years rock!
brett (solja), nice seeing you, come visit sometime dammit
marissa (deedeeaye) thanx for the bong action, sorry no one else stepped up to the plate. we should hang out more
laurie (necromance) it was nice seeing you again, I'm sure if I see marissa I'll see you too
Dyan, stretch your ears again! come vist w/dave
dave2 (monkeyninja), thanx for the stuff, dude, I think I just burnt alot of food after that.
the aussie crew, thanx for traveling all this way and stopping in at our bbq... and thanx for the boomerangs
betty (modiefied girl) thanx for being such a good hostess as well. :)
Sara (bohimien)+ Nik (gnostikone), don't I owe you guys a burger?
nathan (volt) I'm glad I got to re-meet you. it was fun to "laugh" at things with you, I'm sure I'll see you around dude.

Didier+staff we couldn't have thrown hooks without you! Thanx man!
Amber (shesnobodysbaby) + Greg - thanx for eating my boca burgers, and you should have been at MY birthday dude.
The crew - matt, johann, wes, jesse - wes you should of ditched work and just came earlier dammit.
All to all the people I missed. Dude, it was fun.
Jun 27, 200413:13
on top for a bit...
Here are some pictures of the bbq -
Jun 25, 200423:52
Um, I hate anxiety, its been better for me, I mean the part where I get stuff done because I stess out is good in alot of ways, but getting all ancy and feeling like something is wrong when it isn't sucks.
Everyone in my department warned me about this guy in my dept that will stab me in the back... Even my BOSS warned me today.. which is weird. He told me to tell him if he doesn't do anything or is lazy. He didn't do that, instead he left one of the cases unlocked, one that hold high end jewelry, when he was the last one to be in that case. I noticed it. And locked it of course, and I plan on telling my boss about it. If I wanted to work with little backstabbing women I would finish hair school. That shit worries me because I could get fired or written up if I get blamed for that kind of mistake.
The bme bbq is tommarrow and I really wish wes were going, but I'm sure I'll get to cook/eat alot of food and trade tasty burgers for smokey treats.
Jun 25, 200401:15
I want a new digital camara. Mine is old and poohy. But I'm saving $$ for philly, so I can't buy anything right now. I hate popups and I don't know of a popup blocker that works, I dthink the one that we had was deleted and I'm so cheap I don't want to buy one.
I get paid tomarrow. Yeah for $$
The socal BBQ is saterday, but wes isn't going so I want to go, but I won't have that much fun without him. ;(
**F-LINK: j749m2u-: free popup blockers that work?**
Jun 23, 200401:56
I stretched my ears to 5/8" yesterday, my new plugs just went in with a lil lube. Yay for KY! My job is actually kinda cool now. Which is weird, the days go by so much quicker than when I was bagging. Some dude bought a bracelet for his mailorder bride, and she remarked "See, I've done good, I haven't bought any jewelry for a month!" It was a 3500$ bracelet. I see alot of mailorder brides, its creepy. Doesn't someone want to buy me and wes? We'll come live with you and eat all your food, and we wont make you buy us diamonds, just plugs.
Jun 19, 200423:48
In case you missed it. My house was filled with people. I not sure who half were. Most everyone was pretty drunk. I was pretty drunk.

Its my birthday! I don't have to go to jury duty! Happy birthday!
do a load of laundry
Call the jury duty people back
go to target
go to smart and final
clean the house
put laundry away
make chicken and rice for dinner
Jun 13, 200420:53
My computer is being a lameass. I think its got virii again. Wes should fix it for me, or show me how to fix it myself. I have tomarroow off. I need to wash my vest, and I should do some laundry. I should also own more button up shirts for costco. I just ate a huge hamburger, it was super-duper good. Meat is good. My body just wants it sometimes, I prolly haven't eaten any meat for a few days, so mebbe thats why. Bday on friday. I'll be 24, I'm getting old.
I rescheduled my tattoo appointment till later on in the day. I'm not worried about my Mary piece anytime soon... I can't afford to get anything done till probably after Christmas, seeing as though I'll be saving up for our trip to philly, then saving up for xmas, and then possibly going back to school.
I will have two raises in that period (we get raises by how many hours we work), so I'll make 2$ more an hour by january. As much as working for costco sucks sometimes, its a good job and you can make a good living working there. Thats why we don't quit and keep working there year after year.
Friday is my birthday party! It should be fun, last years was good, the year before was sucky. But this year should be fun. I still have more people to invite through IAM... well. I supoose I'll go do that.
Jun 12, 200400:00
Allright. Two more people are supposed to send me money orders for jewelry. If I don't recieve anything by friday, its up for grabs again. Lame.
I start my new deparment tuesday, I may have jury duty on Monday, I'll call tomarrow to find out. My poor boss allready has to deal with my lame schedule.
The most ironic thing, I have to rescedule my tattoo appintment AGAIN. I have to work on tuesday now, but I still have alot of time open to schedule it, so I think I should be okey. Its almost funny, except it isn't.
Um, go sign my petition becasue I'm really curious.
Jun 10, 200408:23
I asked my cat why he isn't a kitten anymore.. he just purred... He'd fit better on my lap if he were a kitten. My arm is doing better. Silvedene works wonders. Its 8:30, too early whenI got off last night at 10:30pm to go to work, Oh well. Soon I'll be selling TVs.
Jun 10, 200400:42
Everyone who posts on Suicide Girls forums is an idiot. Piercing nipples at 16 ga because its cute is assine.
On a better note, I got that cool job at Costco.. I get to sell TVs! I'm going to work in out majors department and sell high end jewelry and TV and digital camaras, and help dumbasses find their film. I won't have a good of a schedule, but I won't be packing peoples groceries.
Jun 8, 200423:25
dude, I made my birthday flyer, you'll be there, right?
**F-LINK: 9v2bvm3-: june 18th**
Jun 8, 200420:27
I bought myself a birthday present so wes doesn't have to. I sold his plugs and used the money to buy me a birthday present. I bought a pair of 5/8" (my goal size!) Amber plugs with bugs in 'em The last pair of Amber plugs I had I never got to wear, the flare was super duper huge and I couldn't get them in, and then I just surpassed that size anyways. I have a pair of 9/16" tunnels wes autoclaved for me today. I'm gonna wear them with my ghetto hoops. I need to make flyers for my birthday party. Maybe I can convince two of the artists in my house to help me out with that!
Jun 8, 200418:23
I should be making a flyer for my birthday party... but I'm lazy. I ran around looking for pens for wes and baught some ghetto hoops to wear through my tunnels I traded for. My tattoo still sucks. MY allergy cream is the only thing that works on it. I'm almost out, and its presc. only too. Oh well, I have no $$ to finish this tattoo for a long time anyways. I'll be like everyone else and live with a half finished tattoo on my arm. At least my left arm is coming along trouble free.
Jun 7, 200423:30
Um, my arm is better than it was... It still sucks, I'm going to call him and ask him some questions Kimmy outlined for me. Here are some pictures for you've veiwing pleasure of what happens whne you have tattoo ink allergies. I dunno what kind of ink he uses, but another client I talked to had the same problem.... figures. Hees an updated picture of my ears.. and my FISH! They lived since our wedding, amazing...
Jun 7, 200414:01
Ugh. My mother calls me yesterday and when I call her back she freaks out and starts yelling at me for "not wanting to be part of this family!" because I havne't called her back in a few days. I hate talking on the phone and when I get home from work I want to sit on my ass. I hang up on her since one of my ways to manage stress to cut shit like that out of my life. I don't have the time or energy to fight with people, so instead I will fucking ignore you. My mom has gone crazy from menopause. THEN she writes me some big ole long email in blue text (why blue? you crappy AOL user!).. so I write her back about how I'd be nice if she visited ME (shes been to my house like 5 times in 2 1/2 years). Ugh, my family sucks, and I'm glad I live far enough away from them that I don't have to see them unless I want to.
Jun 6, 200412:50
My friend Jesse joined the site, ladies, go look at his penis on his page.
My body hates the inks my tattoo artist used. When kimmy tattoos me, I don't have problems, when Brian tattoos me my body freaks out. I was dripping lymph when he tattooed me.. now my arm is still crusty in the light blues, not horrible like the brown was, but crusty and not healing. WTF? I used my deposit up so I not worried about that $$.. but I dunno if I'll be able to have him finish it if my body reacts so badly to the inks he uses.
I should be getting up, but I wanted to redo my page this morning.

If I were to get it, which i don't think i will, I'm not sure what I would do.. sucky scedule? Good job? Good scedule, crappy job? Gawd, i hate these kind of decisions.
I think we are going to go and see harry potter tomarrow.

My boss is a fucking cunt rag, three of us girls have pirses, and whos does she want to check before we leave, oh mine. Shes done this to me 3 times allready. I'm so fed up with the bullshit like this. Ugh, I want her to die. Shes rode around the store tonight after we were closed in the stupid electric wheelchair because shes too damned lazy to walk and tell people what to do (shes not handicapped, shes lazy). Uh, die.
I learned to knit, more from watching the kid next to me rather than my teacher who showed up a 1/2 hour late and left an hour early. Cutting my class in half. If I learn nothing the next session, I'll be asking for my $$ back.
I can't wait for my 4 days off in a row.
Jun 1, 200401:09
I'm getting tattooed tommarrow... man it seems like work at this point doesn't it? I have two packages to send out.. I like BME's jewelry exchange forum.... I get to get rid of old jewelry and people give me $$. Sweet. I have access to an autoclvae so I can autoclave the stuff I get and send out autoclaved jewelry.
Then me and wes are going to LA... I shall use my new paypal debit card to buy gas after traveling to OC then riverside then LA... I wonder if I could convince wes to drive to OC and leave his car there? Prolly not, I bet hes laughing at this right now as hes reading it.... oh well. I guess the 91freeway traffic is just gonna have to suck... mebbe I'll visit my dad for awhile waiting for the traffic to die down.
I haven't gotten my license plates yet.. I should inquire about that too while I'm in OC...
May 30, 200419:27
Allright, tuesday I'm getting tattooed. Get mary worked on for 2 hours. tommarrow I'm doing laundry and who knows what. All the people who are supposed to send me $$ for my jewelry better send dammit. I should just switch back to selling through paypal only people are flakey lameass it seems.
My birthday is coming up soon. I'll be 24. I feel old, sometimes compared to freinds around me. but I'm glad I have my shit together.. no one has ever had to say to me or about me "Erica needs to get her shit together" because frankly I just don't have that problem. Now I'm wondering what I can afford as far as a house goes. I'll make an appointment with a loan officer I know on tuesday so I can see whats in my price range.
Next week I have 4 days off in a row, they accidently gave me an extra day off.. oh well, I could use a small break so I'm taking it. Who knows what I'll do.
I should cook dinner, but I wanna sit down because I just spent the last 5 days in that shithole called work.
May 25, 200420:18
Things I did today:
Bought mederma for my arm
bought garlic bread from costco
gave my work copies of my jury duty request
re-regestered to vote with my new address/name
made a tattoo appointment for next tuesday
ordered wes a labret piece from glasswear studios
ordered wes supplies
got my oil changed
booked our flight for PHILLY in august, fuck travelocity, go orbitz
I should start dinner
May 25, 200413:00
I need to get out of the house. I'm even dressed at 1pm on my day off.. I should go to the beach.
May 22, 200423:41
I need my own business just so I can tell customers to fuck off. I can't stand when customers say "we" when they mean "I". Look I'm not in kindergarden, as in "we need to tie our shoes!" If you want to be condesending and rude, you can kiss my ass.
May 22, 200411:40
Ahh! Confused!
Allright, so I want to buy a house, the economy is still sucky enough that now is the time to buy (or sell) before the economy gets any better and interest rates are high again... and in my area stuff is becoming increasingly expensive, like houses that were bought 5 years ago for 220K are selling for 500K. So I know if I am ever to afford to buy anything, I'd better get on the ball. I don't have jack shit to put down, (I really should start putting more in my 401K if I plan in using it for a house), but I have a friend in the mortgage business who can help me out.
But, I also really want to finish my cosmotology school. Because working for costco, as well as it pays, it sucks ass. I'll make 40K in a year and a half after I top out, but its like, I have to sacrifice my soul! :) So, part of me wants to buy a house soon, and part of me wants to finish school soon. Both of which require loans. If I start in January with school (they don't take loans until then), I'll be finished in six months (this time next year), but will I have to commute 1/2 hour, depending on where I buy? (its still cheap a half hour from my house out in the boonies). Will Matt still be our roomate if we live a half hour from town?
Ack. What should I do? Go to school, or buy a house or try and do both and hope I don't have a mental breakdown in the process?
**F-LINK: uw7oo0n-: WTF should I do?**
May 20, 200420:06
I guess some days at Costco aren't taht bad, I mean like, the days we get payed are cool. Today wasn't bad, I had some good customers.. and hahaha, one of the bosses I worked with in the food court I hated, he was a cocky bastard who yelled at me for opening my rools of change in the cash regester I was working on. Well, fuck that guy. Now he has to work in my departent and he SUCKS. Our food court runs IN SPITE of the crappy manangement, its just easy. Our front end is like being in an evacuating building that is constantly on fire. And today that asshole had to be MY assistant, had to pack my groceries while I cashiered. He wasn't too happy about that... He avoided helping me as much as possible (helping the girl next to me who didn't have a bagger) and I made it clear that he sucked at bagging (trust me, this shit ain't no science)... I've got my revenge! Ahaha! No not really. But it felt good. Did I mention hes 22 and got moved out of his dept. for fucking his 40 year old boss? Gawd. Ugh.
**F-LINK: dj9a7og-: work sucks**
May 20, 200409:37
I don't want to go to work. Someone kidnap me.
May 18, 200421:37
Jesse came by and dropped off some books for Wes and Matt and brought me a my little pony poster... hmmm... where can i hang it? Wes went to bed for a nap... I made lasagna but I'm not too hungry either. I've been better about spending $$ since i took my debit card out of my wallet and am only carrying a checkbook with me. I do need a freindlt parrot that says "Rarrck! Eat before you leave!" tho. Yesterday we went and visited Kat and Kimmy at The Brewery which was nice... but walking over the catwalk was scary!
May 18, 200418:27
So I went and published my FBN in the newspaper, and I actually got my new drivers license in the mail. Fancy. Then I drove around in the hills since I've never done that before. And then walked around and looked at the antique shops. Now I'm home vegging out waiting for wes to get home.
When I get the FBN things back, I'll got and get my buisness licence and then my sellers permit....
May 15, 200400:58
WTF? My job sucks. I get two saterday early shifts, and then I'm back to working 2:30pm to 11pm. This is bullshit since I have more senoirity than about 40 people, and less senoirty than 10. And I have crappier shifts. Modest Mouse and Comic-Con are oth during Costcos inventory week which means we can't get any days off. I requested comic con off in january, my boss made up rules saying we are supposed to put in requests only 2 months before. She just made this up for her means, not following any company standard which says the person who files the request first get the day off. I hope that place burns to the ground before I get back.
May 14, 200400:55
Here is my 4ga navel, and my 1/2" ears... My cat is sleeping ont he chair next to me, he is cute. Mary is healing... she only really scabby in the big part, here is picture of what happens when you have a severe allergic reaction to tattoo ink.
**F-LINK: plnzk0s-: big navels are hot!**
May 12, 200400:16
I got my 4ga navel piece if from glasswear studios today thanks to the magic of teflon tape, I found a good tape that is thicker than what I've bought before, so it wraps smoother than other tapes, I have to wrap the tape around one end of the jewelry... and I also got my 1/2" plug in my left ear as well. So now my ears are at 1/2 inch. Yeah!
I hope my drivers license comes in the mail, they put my zip code wrong on it so I noticed today. Thats not my fault. I wrote it right, I'm not an idiot. I owe wes 5$ if it gets here and he owes me the fee if they make me pay if it doesn't come.
I hate my bank they like to charge me 8000000 times a month for $8090000. Ugh. I'm gonna work lots of overtime to pay all my bills. We'll have enough... I just need to stop spending $$... Oh, and I want more plugs.
May 10, 200423:00
still broke but I sold those tapers I had so thats a bit of $$ at least... my arm is healing, tommarrow I'm gonna visit my mom and stuff for her birthday and mothers day... I had an exciting day of cleaning the house. :)
May 9, 200401:13
ooops, I have no $$, like BAD. I checked my bank account, $00.00 in checking, well I'm definatly broke for awhile, i bought movies I shouldn't have bought today, perhaps I should just return them. ooops.
May 7, 200400:52

May 2, 200413:26
The brown is worse today, they rest of it is better, the neosporin helped where the cocoa butter pissed it off. The yellow is practically done peelling there are a few rough spots, but nothing much there, the brown is fucking RAW, and it hurts like a bitch,I even tried the allergy cream I used to heal my leaves when they freaked out (light brown again). If its still like this tommarrow I'm going to go to the doctor's.
I looked for info online and I found very little info on tattoo allergies... I dunno whats up with me and brown ink.... fucking weird.
May 1, 200412:35
My tattoo is better today. Neosporin is good if you are having trouble healing or scabbing badly... other than that I wouldn't use it. My cat is a messy eater, I need to get him some sort of mat so his food doesn't go all over the floor. hes doing fine after having his balls chopped off.
Monday, I go to the dmv and get a new license with my address and my new name. I'm going to go and try to get our fictious name filed so I can have a business license, then get my sellers permit. I have business ideas.
I filed my fafsa online, and I regestered for one community college online near me, but last time I tried doing that they didn't regester me, I'd rather do it in person. Hopefully I'm poor enough to at least get free tuition...
Apr 30, 200422:22
The light brown in my tattoo has turned to grossness. The lotion wasn't doing anything after the cocoa butter dried my skin out. There is only a lil klight borw and I would take a picture to show you, but I'm too lazy.. lets just say, when i put my shirt on, the light brown is leaking blood/ink. It hurts, its raw. I had this happen on my shoulders because it was done too deep and the shoulders dried out, and on the brown parts of my leaves because its made of brown. There is something in this color that fucks me up. Itys funny, because the yellow has started peeling and the brown won't even scab over or dry out and peel.
I switched to neosporin like I had to with my shoulders today to get it to not dry out and crack, and healed the parts that are cracked. Yuck.
Apr 30, 200412:04
My arm hates brown ink alot. Alot Alot. And it also hates cocoa butter. Fuck brown ink. I got paid today... I don't really have much $$ tho. Pooh on that.
Apr 29, 200423:19

My cat got neutered today, he is recovering from being stuck in a K-hole all day. Hes sleepy and worn out and freaked way out. Poor thing.
Brian started my Mary tattoo. For your veiwing pleasure.
Apr 26, 200402:51
Weee! I finally got my left ear to 7/16"s.. this is an acompliment considering I had to downsize back to a 2ga a few months ago and I've been uneven for that time. So now I have an ear that actually matches my other one.
Tommarrow its time for laundry.
Tuesday I get my right arm worked on finally. Here we go Virgin Mary piece. And my cat gets his nuts chopped off.. hahaha, I mean, thats not funny.
Apr 25, 200402:56
Is anyone interested in buying a *brand new* full stainless steel taper set (14-00ga) for say, 35$ (Thats less than 4$ a taper & that includes shipping).. IM me if you are interested...
Apr 24, 200413:39
There are things that are funny that just aren't supposed to be funny, like when you put packing tape on the cat and watch him run around trying to get it off. Good times.
Apr 23, 200400:40
I got my hookah today, and I have more than enough shisha (hookah tobacco) to last me a while.. haha, I didn't realize how long lasting and how much would fit in a bowl... well, now I have a shitload... haha. So if anyone wants to come over and smoke the hookah.. there is plenty to pass around.
I have started taping my left ear now, its been much nicer to me than before, the rounded edge of my jewelry make it easier to insert, but still taking out the plug sucks because my ear sticks to the teflon tape (just like it did with the kaos plugs).
Apr 20, 200400:29
We went to downtown San Diego today after I cleaned the house, (vacuumed too even!). We went to visit our Didier at his shop, Enigma in Pacific Beach.
I want to buy all the jewelry they sell. I need to have more patience. :) I'll be happy when I'm at 5/8" then I'll just buy lots of 5/8" plugs and crap for my ears.
Then we went to the Gas Lamp and had spagetti factory and then went to a hookah bar.. Gawd I love hookah bars. I need to own a hookah. They sell this starter kit for 65$. I should buy it.
**F-LINK: srgsmj1-: you should buy it**
Apr 19, 200400:01
I ordered one of these for my navel from glasswear studios. Its a 4ga and that was my goal, I dunno how big I want to go now, but that 4ga navel piece will be more than pretty for few months for sure.
Next two days off... I need to clean the house tomarrow and I should go grocery shopping and get my cat neutered this week if I can take him in.
Apr 16, 200420:27
Tonight I am going to see Kill Bill 2... that should be entertaining. I have a great desire to have sex with Uma Thurman. But doesn't everyone?
I restretched my left ear back to 00ga, so now I'm back to where I was before I had to downsize. I think once I get it to 7/16" like my right ear I'll just stay at 7/16" for a lil while just to let my ears adjust and be stretchy when I stretch them again... my goal is 5/8" so its not too far off.
Apr 13, 200400:43
Today we went to the wild animal park, it was a pretty nice day outside and they had this butterfly exhibit which was super awesome. There were hundreds of tropical butterflies just landing on people and feeding... man if I was 8 years old again I would of just liked to have LIVED in that enclosure.
And my antibiotics are working so I don't feel sick anymore. Thank gawd because tomarrow we are going to be workin on my sleeve.
Apr 9, 200423:32
So I went to the doctors today and my sinuses I guess were super-inflammed, which is what my doctor thinks is causing my frequent sicknesses.. (about once every 3 months, I get sinus/upper resp infections) I'm having allergic reactions, my sinuses get inflammed bacteria move in and set up camp = Erica sick alot. :(
So I got a z-pack and a sample of flonase for my nose to stop the inflamation. So hopefully with the flonase I'll be non-allergetic... heh.
It was Wes's birthday, we went out for chinese food and my tooth started to hurt too. Fuck you tooth. Its prolly my wisdom tooth. My bottom ones are still intact, I should get them out soon, now that I have good dental insurance, but I hear lower wisdom teeth are a bitch to heal. My uppers were easy as cake.
Apr 8, 200412:02
Ugh. I feel like crapola. I took 2 dayquil, 2 excedrin, 1 tylenol and 3 tums. I didn't wear any undereye makeup in hopes of looking pathetic, and them cutting me from work. My work is a bunch of fuckasses, they cut tons of people yesterday, but since my wages aren't topped out, they didn't cut me despite being sick. The fucking assholes. Its all about $$ to them. Not about people.
Wes's bday is tommarrow and I switched to get it off early for him and now no one else can get off early enough to go out. And saturday like always I stock, so I'm there till 11pm. This is fucking gay.
Ugh. I don't want to go to work. :(
Apr 7, 200422:51
Gawd I feel like crap. I'm getting a sore throat and general crappiness feeling, it suxors. I took some nyquil and that sorta helped, no I'm just all sleepy and I cant really eat.
Nyquil is super gross... they need to make a cherry flavor, not like, black liquorice.. why not just make it like smoked salmon if you are going to make it black liquorice you stupid fucks.
I get three days off starting sunday. Thank gawd my work is closed on major holidays and we get payed.
I pray I feel better by next tuesday because I'm supposed to get tattooed, if I feel worse, then I'll have to rescedule.
Apr 5, 200400:33
I'm taking my mom to get tattooed tommarrow.
Sleeping pills are interesting when you are still awake.
Apr 3, 200413:02
So lat night we went to the drive in, and saw Hellboy, we actually have a drive-in near my house... haha, it was cool, except I was tired and fell asleep. Then we wnet to Norms for food, which is better than denny's by far.
My kitty was meowing at my door at 4am and 11am... and waking me up... WTF? I think he just needed love.
Ugh, I don't wanna go to work, and work till 11. This is lame.
Apr 1, 200423:04
I invited my mom for dinner monday and shes allready bitching about my car=t and she hasn't even been over. In fact she hasn't visited me since before my wedding, 5 months ago. Thanx mom. No wonder I'm not half as upset as I should be about seeing my family. They suck.
I bought another suicide girls account. I like looking at naked chicks, too bad most the girls are hipsters and most the members are fucking morons. Well, not most, just the ones who post in the pircing forum... heh.
Um, so we went to see Modest Mouse and it fucken' rocked! Um, thats really all I can use to describe it. They are better live than on CD. It was in Ventura. ohmygawd Ventura is far from our house. Like 150 miles. Oops. I didn't know it was that far, but it was the only show that hadn't sold out when I tried to buy tickets.
I got arm measured for the piece that Brian is doing on me. I'm excited about that. That should be cool. Brian is booked up constantly. I want to do this piece and finish my my little pony sleeve so I can go out to the beach and crap during the summer.
I bought the raddest light up virgin mary picture, I didn't know it lit up till I took it out of the box or I would have bought 800 of them for everyone. Damn you 99 cent store!!!
I saw Amber and Lisa today and then went to hang out with my mom and sister, my mom saw my arm finally, my sister suggested that I show her now while shes in such a good mood. Heh, it worked, she looked liek she was gonna freak for a minute but then she was cool. She got engaged to her internet boyfriend. He gave her some big rock. Hes a nice guy, but hes still her internet boyfriend. I should be more crazy because my parents are crazy. But I'm only kinda of crazy. Like I buy venison and don't eat it. Or buy MGD like I might actually drink it.
I made cupcakes tonite with chocolate frosting on them. And wes wants me to go to kinkos. I want to look at the suicide girls account I just bought instead.
Mar 27, 200401:40
For fucks sake. I just went to the gorcery store (don't ask.) and I bought 2 jars of spagetti sauce which decided to fall off the counter onto the carpet, but I guess one was hit just right to fucking break, and spill 64oz of spagetti sauce all over my computer desk and carpet. Fuck the other groceries they can stay on the table till I go to sleep. My boss messed up my schedule AGAIN. I still stock saterday nights and having been doing so for 9 months. While the girls who I've been there 3 times as long got full time and aren't fucking stocking. I think I'm gonna go take some pills and go to sleep now.
Mar 23, 200421:54
Argh! The phantom zone took my bleach! Damn you phantom zone.. I found all the rest of the stuff I bought.. but my bleach disappered... dammit! I got a new cell phone today it was only like 40$... well, and I had to renew my contract but I was happy with my service so why not? I went shopping today and found some cool book, and a trinity broadcasting network coffee cup. Sweet. And I did luandry.. I've been cleaning alot and I still have more to clean.
Mar 23, 200412:57
So anyways... we had lots of fun relaxing in AZ... today now I have to run errands, do my laundry and clean, I'm still having ahard time waking up and not being a lazy ass, I've been trying to get up and do stuff for the past 2 hours. Man. I need like redbulls or coffee or something to get me going. so I think I should go and start my laundry now...
my diary entries for the past month have totally been sucky. I ought to work on that.
Mar 18, 200401:35
Can't wait to go to AZ this weekend, 4 days off in a row is well needed!
Mar 16, 200400:01
What have I actually been up to? I've been working, and tommarrow I gte my new car... and I put down my deposit for getting tattooed by Brian... I just one more piece, and hopefully I can get my sleeve finished by Kimmie in the next 2 months.. so during the summer I won't get tattooed so I can go out and swim and go to the beach and crap and not worry about healing tattoos.... so thats my plan.. besides I'd like to save my $$ and go out more.
My carpet is filthy and hopefully the vacuum I got will actually work.. ugh. I'm glad we live in this partment because all the windows face west, so the sun doesn't heat it up like a goddam oven like the house we lived in last summer.... Ugh.. I hope that place burns to the ground with our old roomates in it.
Yeah! New car!

Feb 29, 200421:52
So, day 4 of being off paxil and my body feels better than it has in months. I ate a hot dog from costco at lunch and thse things usually WRECK my stomach, and I felt fine. I got new galsses so I'm kinda getting used to wearing those so I feel like my head feels a lil funnym but I haven't had a bad headache yet... so hopefully that'll help with my headaches. I haven't felt depressed at all and my anxeity is a lil worse than it was on the paxil but not enough for me to take it again. so I guess I've been lucky, stopping cold turkey and feeling fine.
Feb 28, 200401:08
welcome to Erica's movie reveiw. Tonight me and Wes went and saw The Passion of the Christ. Which was unfortunatly pretty boring. I was hoping for a lil more religious history and less Christ getting his ass beat and falling down in slow motion. If you really love Jesus allready, its going to be a lil more sad for you, but for non christians there isn't enough back story for you to really get into it and feel bad emotionally for the guy, its more like "Gawd, that sucks, just put him out of his misery or like, wash him off or something." Like every 15 minutes or so, it'd show you a bit from the bible that you prolly allready know, (the last supper). So like less blood, more backstory would have made it less repititous and frankly more interesting.
Feb 26, 200401:42
Buy my crap! Dammit! Oh, only buy it if you like nightmare before xmas crap.

Feb 25, 200413:42
I've eaten a 4lb clamsheel of strawberries in the past 24 hours all by myself. It tasted good. I've decided to go back to eating no red meat or drinking coffee because frankly my health has been uber crappy, I feel icky and coffee makes my tummy hurt and I didn't eat red meat for 4 years and I was way healthier. So I need to do something for my body before it falls apart. I would ideally like ot get off my paxil too... I don't like taking it, even if it does help me, I think the side effects are make it not worth it, besides, I don't want to feel dependent on any prescription, its too expensive. Anyways. wish me luck.
**F-LINK: mtbj7ub-: blah.**
Feb 22, 200421:58
Our vacation was more fun than wes makes it out tpo be. Well, prolly because it wasn't my car that got stuck. The place we stayed was nice. Just bring chains that don't break. It snowed, ALOT. I'm sore from falling down alot, AKA snowboarding.
Feb 18, 200413:09
I fianlly got my paypal account verified! We've been trying to figure that crap out forever.. now we can finally sell Wes's nightmare before xmas crap on ebay.. and I can sell lots more crap on ebay as well. Sweet! I could take payments.. but I couldn't transfer them to my bank account I would of had of waited for a check from paypal. Lame. But not now. You know, this month has actually been very good... My cars crashing into other cars was a good thing, just kinda a hassle....
Feb 17, 200423:24
Here is my arm. All fancied up with some clouds... the bottom hilly work was from the last session a few weeks ago.

I ordered new glasses today. I'm leaving to get tattooed now. Friday we go on our belated honeymoon trip. It is good.
Feb 15, 200421:32
I'm fucken smart. I fixed my stupid modem, we've been suffereing for 2 months, and I fixed it in all of 2 seconds. How dumb.
Feb 15, 200421:05
Well, my modem is a piece of crapola. I need to call verizon, its running at 27K, and its a DSL!!! WHAT THE FUCK?!
On a better notwe, wes got his car on friday. And on an even better note.... we got Modest Mouse tickets!!!!! I'm very excited about that show. I order new glasses on tuesday, and I get more of my arm tattooed. And I get my snowboard too. That rocks.
I'll get my new car soon. Then maybe I can go back to school and not slave away at the craphole called costco. I can work 31 hours a week and still make good money by september because I will be making more money, I'll get two raises by that time...
Big Bear is friday, so we are taking a well deserved vacation, I just wish it was 3 weeks, not 3 days.
Feb 11, 200417:09
so anyways.... wes gets his truck friday morning.... eeew, now its time to clean.. I went and got the mail.. wes forgot to cancel his gym membership so they charged us $$... my head hurts, and I don't want to do anything right now but make it go away. I started submitting to my 401K again, which in the future I will prolly just use to buy a house in a few years, because fuck knows I'm not going to be able to retire unless I contribute the max for the rest of my life. next weekend we go to big bear, so that should be fun.... I am buying snowboard equiptment so I'll have that if we go, wes doesn't have any so we prolly won't, but he could rent some.
I'm gonna wait until my tax return comes in before I go and buy my car, but no more craptacular rental car after friday.
Feb 11, 200401:22
I sold a few peices of my jewelry.. I dunno if I should buy more jewerly with my money or subscribe to more magazines. I love magazines.
We found a car for Wes... I got the money loaned from wes's mom till our insurance settlement comes in to put the downpayemnt on. So hopefully we can do all the paperwork for that tomarrow.
blarg, I'm tired.
Feb 10, 200400:39
I have lots of jewerly that I just didn't get a chance to wear but bought.. so I'm trying to sell some of it... Just IM me for you are interested.... I'll send it out asap if you want it.. just IM me....
I'm hungry now... grrr!
Feb 5, 200423:49
I got more work done on my arm. Its damned near impossible to take decent pictures of ones own arm. My cat is a fucking spaz. He needs to grow up and not be a kitten soon. We took a nap on tuesday for 3 hours tho... that when hes nice. He won't just sleep in my lap, I have to hold him, and it makes it hard to type if I'm on the computer.
My husband needs to not sleep so much I hardly get to see him. Stupid assholes from the insurance company need to call me back and give me a quote oh what they are gonna try and give me for my car so I have an idea of what I can get for a down payment. I need to file my tax return, but my printer won't work so it not easy to do. I'm lazy and my house needs to be cleaned.
Tommarrow I get reviewed by Farmer Dan at costco... I'm so not looking forward to that. Hes fucking annoying. Costco can suck my ass.
**F-LINK: pwyw4m5-: I hate retail**
Jan 26, 200422:21
Here is my car. Hopefully I'll get a new one. Poor car. Right now I'm driving a hyundai elentra (sp?) piece of shit rental. Tommarrow I go to the docters. And mebbe I'll make it to the dmv.
Jan 25, 200417:43
My cat is not happy unless is is sitting on my lap. I want him to go away for a minute... or 300. I have to tow my car from the truck yard to the collision center tomarrow on the day me and wes were supposed to spend together. What a pile a crap.
13 year olds should always be punched.
Jan 25, 200404:25
So like, I was sick all last night its 4am and I'm awake because I've been coughing ALL fucking night. I just took some nyquil but I don't think it was even 1/2 a dose... there wasnt much left in the bottle. I just called in sick even though I don't have any sick pay left... fuck it, even if I got outta work tomarrow early I wouldn't have a ride home... I come in sick too much, thus infecting more people and making more people call in sick. I think i have the next 3 days off.. but I didn't get to check my schedule fri because I left early and yesterday i forgot when i was picking up my schedule.
The gambling event was fun, it was nice to meet Saki, and well, see everyone.. I haven't seen ester since the bowling benefit even tho i talk to her on AIM all the time. She is like the cutest human in the world, like ever. Ahh! I wanna like hang her on my wall or something... haha. And it was nice talking to Tristan who I don't get to see with stacy as much as I'd like.
my cat smells like the cat litter, which smells fine because I just changed it, but it normally smells like flowers & cat ass so he reminds me of that smell and i don't want that smell on my lap right now.
**F-LINK: d1r24vi-: who do you wanna hang on your wall?**
Jan 24, 200412:27
I hope to see everyone there tonite at our "weirdos go gambling" event... we'll be meeting in the lobby at 7pm... event details are here - http://iam.bmezine.com/events.exe?cmd=zoom&event=536
Jan 23, 200418:26
My car had an accident today.. now I'm in a rental car... wes + bad back brakes = car flipped onto its side on the freeway. Lovely. Mebbe I'll get a new car outta this.. or a car with a new paintojob. Who knows. Wes was okey, he was the only person in the car, the air bags didn't even deploy... is that normal? Oh well, I have insurance.
I have a stuffy face. I think I'm going to urgetnt care in a few minutes. Blah.
My ears stretched to 00gas last night, it was easy. It was nice.
Jan 21, 200423:18
Heres some more pics of my arm.. right after it was doneyou can still see the stenciling work and everything. It shows more of what the tattoo really looks like.
I burnt my hnad on soup at work and today the blister peeled off while I was working. Gross dude. Its only cool because I get to wipe blood on peoples groceries. just kidding. kind of.
I'm going to AZ in march. fun stuff, no more tooth problems liek last time on my trip. Last time I was in extreme pain, my wisdom teeth were infected.. it was horrible, I lived on painkillers and weed until I got back and had them puppies pulled.
MY cat needs to stop biting my foot, I'm trying to type here.

Getting my sleeve started wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. My house is messy. The UPS dude delived my package to the people next door in my absence, I feel bad, I think they work nights or something because I woke them up when I knocked on the door. Either that or hes creepy weird.
Kimmy fucking rocks. Everyone in the world should get tattooed by her. Shes in my buddy list if you want work from her. I'm too tired to write this entry, heres a crappy picture of my arm. Its hard to take a picture of your own arm. My little ponies are the bomb diggity. Or something.
**F-LINK: 6ixgkb7-: nothing is better than my little ponies.**
Jan 13, 200422:25
I get tattooed tomarrow. My 3/4 sleeve is started. Mebbe I can sit through an outline.
I went shopping, i goy some new shirts, i also bought a purse, this is the first timne in a long time I've had money since like, last may is the last time.
**F-LINK: mfd3wu3-: sleeves are hot!**
Jan 12, 200422:12
Ugh, i'm feelign better, but the last two days sucked alot. I'm just sore from throwing up alot and stuff. I'm eating okey, I'll be okey by tomarrow as long as I eat, and rest. My work makes me crazy. No matter how much senoirity or how fast i am on a regester they do a good job overlooking me. They can kiss my ass. They do very little to motivate me. Its irritating. I feel like I don't work to my full potential because I have no motivaion... Fake tits & ass kissing get you promotions. Not ability. Its lame.
Tomarrow I do laundry. I wore pantyhose because I was out of socks. I think Wes tied a sweater to one foot and a shirt to the other for socks. Who knows.
Jan 11, 200417:48
I've been sick the last 2 days.. food poisening I think. Yuck. I'm still getting over it. My cat is extra cuddly today.
Jan 10, 200401:25
Man, I'm tired... socializing takes way too much energy. We just saw Big Fish, it was good. They fucked up my paycheck, so it was smaller than it should have been, but they'll get me another check tomarrow or Monday. That sucks. My scedule is messed up too, I dunno if its just because its inventory week. Well, I'm off to take a bath and go to sleep.
Jan 7, 200413:56
My tattoo has to be resceduled. :( I should be cleaning my house anyways. My cat has been a freak. Instead of just writing rants on my page, I should be more productive and write responses to stupid editorials like the article posted on shannons page.. (the one that erin chick wrote.
I stretched my septum to an 8, but the jewerly was a plug, and it showed, it was too long. And then wes says, "well I knew it wouldn't work" He always does this AFTER the fact. Try telling me before! I'll be putting it in my "jewerly I can't wear pile". I autoclaved it, if anyone really needs it, I'll send it to 'em. Its stainless steel, industrail strength.. my fave part about their plugs is, they have grooves for the o-rings so you don't constanting lose o-rings.
Oh well, mebbe I'll go clean.
Jan 6, 200401:29
People can suck it. People who talk shit on my friends piss me off way worse than people who talk shit on me... I guess its because I can laugh it off and I honestly could give a FUCK, but I feel like I need to defend my friends. Its bad when people are doing it just because they are either assholes or just uniformed.. but when they do it to hurt other peoples careers (more money for them I guess) its just fucking lame.
I loved shannons post about bod mod egos... every piercer I know has fucked up piercings, just plain "ooops my hand slipped, hehe" to cutting into cartiladge when scalpeling ears or putting hooks in backwards.. oops! They are human and bound to make mistakes, so give people a break, and don't fucking act you've never fucked something up in your job. Like, I like the APP because it promotes education and safety but it does NOT mean you are a better piercer than a non-APP member, or that you are even halfway talented, because you payed some organization $$$, to only be able to work in certain shops. You don't have to be in the APP to get the APP manuals or go to the training seminars. So I fail to see the "membership has its benefits" You can read it for yourself here - http://www.safepiercing.org/membershipBenefits.html. That was my ego + APP rant.
Mebbe I should go to bed, eh?

I stretched my navel to a 6 a few days ago... its unhappy...but feeling better after taking a bath, taking out the jewerly, cleaning it and reinserting it...
I get my cd player put in my car tomarrow, which should be nice. no more tapes....
I found my digital camara. Good for me.
I'm tired, but I dunno if I wanna go to bed, mebbe I should just watch the movie I rented.
Jan 3, 200400:59
Still don't know where my digital camara is.. i haven't looked for it really tho. We rented "A mighty wind" which, if you liked spinal tap, you'd like this movie. My cat needs to hurry yup and turn into a lazy cat. Hes so cute tho. He looks up when I say "kitty! Kitty!" and will even coem to me if hes in the mood. And you thought cats were useless. Well, you were right.
Kats party is tomarrow, and I'd like to go, but I don't get off till 11pm, so depending on if people are still showing up, I might go. Who needs sleep on sunday anyways?
Ugh. Periods suck, so does PMS. It makes me wanna kill people lots. And lots. Even more than usual.
Weeeeeeeeeee! I'm super excited about my arm getting started. And happy about the holidays being over... Yeah! I want this year to be boring and less expensive and uneventful. The last 3 years have been stressful.
Jan 1, 200422:40
Huh. I wonder where my digital camara is? I'm hungry but I dunno what to eat. I get tattooed next week.. I get my arm started... Yeeeah! Finally! My hair is slowly growing out... once it gets past the super gross stage that its in now I'll be happy.... I know a girl at work who does extensions.. I'll ask what she can do for me, and how much she would charge.
Thank fucking gawd the holidays are over. I hate them and I hope they won't come back next year, but they prolly will. What a bunch of total crap.

Dec 31, 200314:47
Gawd. Don't ever try and buy anyone a gift or do anyone a favor, or they just might get mad at you if it isn't what they want. Oh well. It was on sale. I slept in till 1:30pm so I'll prolly be up late tonite. right now I should go pay my bills.
Dec 30, 200313:22
My cat deleted my last entry. Don't ask how. Cats are sneaky... Bastard.
Anyways, I'm cooking a turkey and bitching about how people who are single and whiny fucking annoy the shit outta me. Girls wonder why the guys they like don't ask them out... well fuck. Ask them out, for christsakes, I'm really shy, but I NEVER had trouble asking a guy I liked to hang out. So I usually wasn't without a bf or whatever for long periods of time. And then again, I knew when people just weren't available to me. Like the guy I dated before Wes, he said I lived too far, so I was like, "fuck that... I'm not waiting around for that crap." and I didn't.. and I ended up meeting Wes, who lived even farther. And I married that guy.
Ugh I could rant more but whatever.
Dec 27, 200317:42
So I finally saw Return of the King all the way through.. I went at the first midnight shoing but had to leave.. long story. It was very good. I'd liek to see it again. I went with Heather (heathacat) and some of her freinds...
My cat is a freak, if i eat cereal, he meows like crazy, so I let him lick the bowl. Hes much fatter than when we got him, and hes losing his kitty fur... and getting more spots. rightnow, hes playing with my necklace.. His bell collar is great I can hear him even when I can't see him. I'm also making a back up copy of my picture files... its good to do that every couple of months. I just gotta figure out a way to back up all my mp3's.. we have a few thousand.
Dec 26, 200319:02
So anyways, I got alot of nice things for xmas...(tahnx everyone.) I think my fave is the cat that Wes let me get besides his allergies. He is getting fatter, no longer skin and bones... I can fit his collar on, and I put the soft paws on one hand that amber gave me.. when he gets sleepy, I'll do the other hand... hes got ALOT more energy now.
I got enough $$ to buy my snowboarding equiptment, but now I dunno what I should do Its enough to get me back on finacial track since I'm poor... and then I can start enjoying the $$ I make again... and then again, wes can't afford equiptment right nowso I wouldn't have anyone to go with.... what would you do?
**F-LINK: bykpp8r-: what should I do with my xmas $$?**
Dec 21, 200322:21
Our party was okey. I played with my cat alot. It needs another bath tho.
Dec 20, 200316:26
Cats like sugar cookies. Our Xmas party is tonite.. don't forget! Call if you need directions.
Dec 18, 200323:49
The Kitty was under Matts bed.. and I couldn't see him because he was behind a piece of wood... I guess he slept with Matt last night... here that ladies... ballchin boy sleeps with kittens. How cute is that. My kitten is less skittish than yesterday.. hes getting used to us. He likes to cuddle and meow.. hes exploring more and not just hiding when hes running around... he needs a flea bath tho, and I'm gonna have amber look and see if she thinks hes got worms or something that white trash kittens always seem to have.
Dec 18, 200310:19
Now I wake up this morning and I can't find the kitten.. he likes to hide... I figured that oen out last nigh.... where go he be?
Dec 17, 200323:59
look what I got!
Dec 12, 200322:22
Allright. Here is my hand..still scabby.. but cuuute.
Dec 7, 200321:48
So, my nostrils, which are healing without crusties, decided to instead grow keloids! Yeah! So, if they get any bigger I'll just take them out. What a buch of fuckers. My work doesn't even freak out, and so instead they decide to curse me with keloids. So, like, would taking out the jewelry to massage them help the keloids? Or would taking out the jewelry on a daily basis make them worse? They get knocked around on a daily basis, and instead of not healing, they just decided to keloid. I tell you, Bastards.
On the other hand, I cleaned out my closet and packed away some of my summer clothes because it gets cold in Murrieta as compared to Orange County. I actually hung up my laundry.. I haven't doen that since I moved in.
I also made a tattoo appointment for tuesday.. we are getting our wedding rings tattooed.. and we are going to go over the artwork for my arm.. I'm really itching to get my arm done... the best part is I have a 3/4 sleeve all paid for....
**F-LINK: 5gpl7bn-: how can I fix the keloids?**
Dec 4, 200323:15
My hair was yucka-yucka gross, so I trimmed the ends, just like, a 1/4" all over so its not all nasty-gross-nasty-hair.. I'm growing it out, but I can't have nasty ass hair thats long. I need nice hair thats long. I'm taking my vitmans too even.
So last night wes brought me my 0ga plugs... the right ear went in, the left, well, the taper went through easy, but the plug wasn't having it, so I just wrapped it in teflon (which inserting isn't easy for me normally) and stuk it back in. They are a lil sore today, the right more so. But not bad cosidering 2-0 is a crappy jump. I'll be very happy once that plug goes in... at least being a gilr with a lil head, my ears look a size bigger than they actually are.
Now its time to formulate xmas party plans.....
Dec 3, 200301:00
I had an old friend IM me tonite and I couldn'y help but be kinda unreceptive especially since I tried to IM him a few times with no answer, and he was just one of the people who forgot I existed when i moved to temecula. I get irritated with people who obviously don't give a rats ass or they would make more of an effort to keep in touch.. because when I call someone a freind, I don't take it lightly and I want to keep them as a friend for life, not for months or even years, so it irriates me when people take friendship so lightly.
Speaking of irritatimg, I could elaborate on people who don't deserve their good fortunes, but I won't... because I don't like to talk shit on people who might actually have access to my diary here. One of my worst habits and what makes me a HUGE asshole is secretly, or not so secretly, i like to see people fail. I know, its horrible, but some people deserve to fall flat on their faces, and have thier egos or stupid ambitions crushed. The worst part is, I feel that way about my freinds sometimes. and I congratuate them on their victory's, but at the same time I resent them for it. It know its not for a lack of self esteem on my part, because I have really good self esteem and a really good self image, but I'm competetive and have a sense of pride that doesn't let up.
time for bed.
Dec 1, 200316:47
Yeah.. so final fantasy 9 roxors... I've been playing it before bed alot... I have kingdom hearts, but FF9 is really fun.. I wanted to play it again for like 2 years... so I bought the game again, the first disc got lost and i never got to play it until i bought it again...
weee.... my hair is getting longer too... its all super choppy from gorwing out but don't look half bad, (when I style it) I need to buy spray wax again, that stuff is the best.
And here is a picture of the piece of shit couch that has been sitting my our dumpster for the past week.
Nov 30, 200302:34
Um, yeah, so you should come to my event - http://iam.bmezine.com/events.exe?cmd=zoom&event=536
It should be entertaining.
I should go to sleep now.
Nov 28, 200318:14
Oh my gawd, I'm so hungry. I have lasagna cooking in the oven, and it will be done soon, but for now I am starving to death! I bought prenatal vitamins to try and grow my hair longer... haha, really, no babies yet!I also got some jojoba oil.. my jewerly REALLY liked it, and my navel did too... too soon to say how my ears will react...
Nov 27, 200300:19
So I went out last night with Jamie and Christie, it was fun, we went to a hooka bar, which they didn't like much, but was worth trying, they thought it was too sweet, not tobacco-ey enough. I also visited Brian (nardi714) and Brett (solja) on the way there since it was right by, it was nice seeing Brian since I haven't seen him since he touched up my leg. You should all get tattooed by him because hes a good tattoo artist and a really nice guy.
Tommarrow is turkey day, and I have to sepnd it with my family, which isn't bad, but I think its like, one of those "I need a drink" kinda situations even if you don't drink....
Nov 24, 200322:21
Don't even get me started on customers at my work. You would think evolution would have done soemthing to fix this problem, but ooh, nooo, "life is sacred" and crap like that.
Tommarrow I go to the docter, and I made a list of all the things I need to talk to her about... switching my meds from celexa to paxil and wellbutrin... something for my heartburn, something for my headaches... and then after that, I'm gonna go visit some freinds who I haven't really seen since high school.
**F-LINK: rxw0gzl-: meds? good bad experiances?**
Nov 23, 200322:25
I did my freinds page for her... she wanted a page a long ass time ago, but for some reson, we couldn't get it to work.. so I got around to making her a page tonite while wes and them play d&d which they should really call "philosophy of D&D with emphasis on rules" I'm supposed to be there cleric.. mebbe I'll rejoin their campaign. Heh. today i got a new shirt and 2 new books. Tuesday I'm going to the docter and then going to visit a freind who I haven't seen since high school practically. I got a classmates account and contacted her through there.
Nov 22, 200323:44
Wow, i did a whole lotta nothin' tonite. This weekend was lame. Oh well, at least I didn't have to stock like I usually have to every saterday night.
Nov 22, 200302:23
Oh stomach, why do you hate me? We went to pechanga, then my tummy started hurting. Then i threw up on Johann. Sorry Johann, but the window was the only place it could go. Good thing we had those wet naps?
Nov 21, 200315:44
Its 3:45pm and I'm home from work. I haven't been home from work this early in like FOREVER. Our apartment looks messy, but its because we just have a crapload of stuff. Ack, I woke up 5 minutes before I had to leave for the meeting at work. 8am meetings are not good for me. I WAS a zombie and my bosswas just laughing at me.
To elaborate on my critism of my coworkers photos'... most of them are just pictures of sunsets or close ups of flowers covered in dew and crap like that. The pictures aren't nice because you took them, they are nice because they are pictures of a goddam sunset. Sunsets are pretty, it doesn't take artistic skill to take a pretty picture of sunset. Sunset's are pretty all by themselves without you having to do any artistic effort. Argh.
**F-LINK: f8lmngd-: you are an asshole**
Nov 20, 200322:24
Oh man, I feel like SUCH an asshole, I accidently deleted a long IM Jay sent me. Crap, oops. I'm making lasagna and garlic bread. Well, cooking frozen lasagna in the oven, does that count?
Other than that my day has been uneventful. I have an 8am meeting tomarrow, what a bunch of crap, I'm gonna be a zombie tomarrow, at least i picked up 4 more hours this week, I need about 5 more.
update:
WHY DOES EVERYONE THINK THEY ARE AN ARTIST?!? I was looking at his kid at my works website of his "artwork" (they put up a display of his photos at my work) and it makes me crazy, yes, you could prolly do decent wedding photography, but good gawd, your "srtistic" photos are crap. I could do better fucking off in photoshop, and I suck.
Nov 19, 200321:03
Oh my gawd I ate too many pickles. This is gross, i ate almost a whole jar of the "zesty" dill spears. Now my whole face tastes like pickles. I cound't resist because they were so good. But what I really wanted was spicy mexican carrots. Now I'm gonna eat some cheese! We went grocery shopping yesterday so now I can drink soda to my delight. Mmmmm.. soda. I should be alot fatter considering I think about food and tattoos almost all day. I think about food almost as much as Wes thinks about sex. Which is like, every ten seconds. Stupid birth control, stupid celexa, yeah thanx for the nice skin and big boobs, but what happened to my sex drive, you fucks? Oh well.
**F-LINK: o2byokd-: tattoos sex food!**
Nov 18, 200322:48
dude, I found this uber rad pic of a snowflake, so I think I'll leave my page blu for now. Ack I thought of a good idea for a snowflake tattoo. But I'm not giving out details you crapheads. Some stupid cunt made a poll on her page once saying "should I get tattoo's like Venus Pink's stars?" and some other stupid options. Stupid cunt. She is still banned from my page. Its crap like that that pisses me off.
Snowflakes are rad. Natures patterns are rad.. I always wanted a nice tattoo of one of those pictured below... I always thought the fact that those patterns were used by renissance artists and found all over nature. I have a book on that crap... its good if you want to replicate the math behind it, but I was like "Uh, I'm just going to look at the pictures now." I'm better than most my customers/coworkers with figuring out money math, but that has to do with my first two jobs. So, at least I've got practical math down. Oh well.
Nobody is online. Wes is asleep, and matt is doing homework. I was bored all day at Wes's work. He made a decent amout for a tuesday tho. I'm glad Ester got a page, I was gonna post in Sean's forum and tell her to get a page, but I don't have to now. Man it is hard making freinds in general. Thank gawd for BME. People at work think I'm weird because I have tattoos and my husband has those scary ears. I've even been IM'ing people. Most the time I hate even talking on AIM. How pathetic. And you thought you were anti-social.
**F-LINK: x0q1nj3-: you are stupid, go back to college**
Nov 18, 200300:44
Wow! Look I redid my page! How many days do you think It'll take before I change it back to pink?
Nov 17, 200319:49
Today we went to the wild animal park..... it was fun.
Nov 16, 200322:20
I dunno why I make like 30 entries a day some days and like, none for a week. Either way... I've been thinking alot lately. Number one, I need to stop smoking pot because I don't need to end up like my dad, or any other skivvy stoners I know. I think I'll just take up smoking cigs instead. Gawd, I hate feeling like a lazy loser bum who doesn't do anything, but thats exactly how I felt for like the past few months, err, years. I think I'm just lonely. I love my husband, but he can't be my only friend. I doesn't help that I hate 99% of the people I come in contact with. I guess I need to make more efforts to be social, but in all honesty, I take rejection very badly. Sometimes I wonder why my head does that.
Dude, girls don't play D&D, and they certainly don't DM.
Nov 16, 200321:11
I need a new bad habit. I think I have an idea. My lungs are gonna pay tho.
I yay, no tracker for awhile. I'm doing an experimnet.
Nov 16, 200317:39
-Perfect- You're the perfect girlfriend. Which means you're rare or that you cheated :P You're the kind of chick that can hang out with your boyfriend's friends and be silly. You don't care about presents or about going to fancy placed. Hell, just hang out. You're just happy being around your boyfriend.
I've been listening to alot of Modest Mouse, and reading American Spendor (I & II) alot. And its raining today. I need a new bad habit. I need at least one. I stopped my fingernails, they look good now.
Tonite we are going to the discount movie theatre, yay! for being ghetto. Ghetto rocks.
Nov 13, 200321:37
I rode the bus home today. The only sucky part was waiting for the bus, it drops me off at my apartment.... I made lots of CD's today.... just modest mouse... I need to get a working cd player in my car.
Nov 13, 200318:40
My hubby is on BME's Cover - www.bmezine.com

My nose is doing good. I think I finally figured out what Bus to use to go home. Thats good. Its closer than I thought. I need to bring in my camaras and get paid this week... We need to go out friday night.
Nov 11, 200321:49
new 20ga nostrils...
Nov 10, 200317:46
I keep getting these headaches that are so bad I get sick to my stomach.. I feel icky today because of it... I was supposed to clean, but I slept till 2pm, and I feel all gross and don't want to do anything until this headache goes away. I need to make a docters appointment to find out hwo I can fix this crap.
Nov 8, 200300:46
oh finally, we got our DSL.. no more laptop and crappy dialup... ! I start one hour photo next week, and I'll actually have saterday nights again, oh thank gawd. Too bad its only seasonal.
Nov 5, 200323:45
I stretched my ears to a 2ga today.. I grabbed the wrong taper and tried to go to a 0 on accident on one ear... oops.. I realized that after my ear bled a lil... funny, that ear isn't really sore... they both stretched really easy. It might help wearing solid steel plugs this time around... glass doesn't really do much for helping stretch your ears... wedding pics below.
Nov 5, 200323:18
Some wedding pictures...
Nov 4, 200312:43
Our fish tank is leaking, so I took it outside on the balcony. Wes told me to go get a new one, but lo and behold, hes got the car. I'm hungry and I should take a bath.. eating onions all the time isn't good for my digestive track. Or my mouth. Yuck. I think I ought to email my tattoo artist and ask if she wants to start my arm soon.
We bought lots of stuff with our weddding $$$... now should I take a bath or eat first? I'm actually trying to grow out my hair and trying to stretch my ears. Ahh.. patience.
Nov 3, 200312:18
Our guppie we bought is very agressive, he chases the goldfish around all day. Our tank is still cloudy, but better than yesterday. My brida bouqet is still alive and kickin' it in a glass of water in the kitchen. Glad ddn't toss that one out. We still have like 200$ to spend and I still have two more day after today off of work.
I've basically been cleaning te majority of the time. I want to start my arm tattoo soon, and me and wes are going to get our rings tattooed on.. I'm hungry and wes needs to wake up, we have lots to do today.
Nov 2, 200321:54
Thanks everyone for coming, Matt, Johann, Amber & Derak, Eric, Annie & Azailia, Heather, Kat, Charlotte. Our wedding went smooth... I'm very happy right now. :)
Nov 1, 200300:00
All done. Married....
Oct 30, 200311:45
Tommarrow is the wedding, last minute things to do... wes's grooms are TROUBLE. hmmm....
Oct 26, 200322:40
I was pretty sober all through my bachlor party, hehe... they found out why I didn't drink after feeding me a shot. We went to a strip club and I saw lots of fat chicks and brown eyes. It was about time to leave after the last brown eye was tooo close. I had fun with everyone though.. I need more girls nights out, thats for sure. I don't have to go back to work until next tuesday and I get paid for it.
There are a billon fires here... even my city is on fire, but on the other end of my city, so we aren't at risk here. Our DSL was delivered, but it won't be turned on for like 3 more weeks.
I got my position at work for our seasonal period... I'll need to go on the front end to pick up hours prolly though.
Oct 23, 200323:02
I think God must be mad at me... our old landlord's are trying to fuck us out of our prorated rent they owe us from the last half of the month.. because a window was broken in our room (wich we did not break) and some bullshit about a cleaning service... lets back up a minute, we never put a security deposit down nor did we get a paper stating all the damages that the house had before hand... so if they would to fuck us out of that much... I'll make it worht our while. Stupid cunts. I'm supposed to be happy about getting married, not worrying about $$... or being depressed about my freinds dying.... this shit isn't supposed to happen. Oh well tomarrow is my bachlorette party. I need to get FUCKED up.
Oct 21, 200323:42
I hven't been at work for 4 days... I went sunday but left after an hour and a half.. I could have used the $$, but I needed the time.. I was folding clothes and it just wasn't working, I figured it'd be best to just come home and put away the stuff in boxes.. it was ditracting, so that was good. I still can't find my battery charger.. I liked the charger, but more importantly, Jeff gave it to me for my birthday, so it has sentimental value as well.
I fell better after his funeral, it gave me a sense of closure... that was the first funeral I'd been to, and it was kinda weird seeing Jeff... they did good job of making Jeff not look like Jeff... but well, what could I expect?
I feel the worst for Tristan and Sean, because they were closest to him... I want to be ready for my wedding which is coming up quickly, but this hangs over my head andonly time can shake it off...
Oct 18, 200310:46
I had a hard time sleeping last night... and I remember having two dreams involving Jeff's death... I can't remember any details... but we'll just have to go on with our daily lives I suppose... I plan to make a toast to him at our wedding and whatnot... I'm just glad he got to suspend before he died, and that his death was instant and he didn't have to suffer. We'll (me and Wes) will be offline for a lil bit because today we are moving and I'm not sure when I'll get the DSL kit.
Oct 17, 200319:10
My heart just hurts... it just isn't fair that someone like Jeff died, he is honestly, one of sweetist people I've met. Nad most polite as well... It just SUCKS to think I won't ever get to see him anymore... I looked forward to seeing him everytime he came over... which was every sat or sun night for D&D at our house.
Wes came into my work and told me, I bursted out crying after a minute or two and they let me go home... I'm just glad that Jeff had a chance to suspend before he was taken from us.
It just really isn't fair.
Oct 17, 200318:39
I'm sad to report - (this will stay on top for awhile)
Our friend passed away -
"Dear friends of Jeff Edgarian:
I found your emails on Jeff's (Genjuro's) IAM account, you are his friends. I am his brother Tristan. I am sorry to inform you all that my dear brother passed away 15 October 2003. He was struck by an SUV while riding his motorcycle back home from school. They police informed us his death was instant. He was twenty one years old.
You are all invited to attend his funeral on 11:30 am Monday, 20 October, at (if you are interested IM YoYo)
I am aware and accepting of his bod mod lifestyle. I love him unconditionally and respect how spiritual the mod experiences were to him. He was such a strong creative unique and brilliant person. Of all the people in my life he means the most to me.
You are free to present yourselves as you are, despite the fact that this funeral is going to be dominated by OLD COUNTRY Armenians who barely know english, let alone have an understanding of American youth. Both Jeff and I were a bit ostracized for our lifestyles so any support I can have from you on that day is much appreciated.
Thank you and best wishes,
Tristan Edgarian"
Oct 15, 200322:53
All finished.... chest tattoo that is, not packing... we did alot this morning.. time for bed now.
Oct 14, 200317:46
We are officially moving saterday. Fun stuff, alot to till then. I'll prolly call in sick if I ca't get the day off... It was cheaper than I thought it would be... so I suppose I'll eat then start packing or something.
Our new apartment is very nice.... our dog has a home, and it was cheaper and easier to move in than we thought.
Oct 12, 200323:44
I found two people at work who want to take my dog... so Charley will have a home... tommarrow its time to go apt hunting since our house deal fell through.
Oct 10, 200300:59

IM me if you want a good doggie.... I'll bring him to you if your less than 200 miles away....
Oct 8, 200323:33
Today I did sommore shopping for wedding stuff... tried on bras and stuff, and I think my corset I allready own is best for my wedding dress. I bought white buffalo horn spirals to wear for my wedding. I also bought 4ga solid steel plugs.... I guess I should juts try and stretch my ears and not give up just because my ears are lil bitches.
Oct 7, 200322:59
I rode my bike all day long today... and wes said I wasn't going to ride it.
I stretched my septum to a 8, without a taper, no problem... BUT, the jewerly looked ugly, and my septum is crooked as it is... so it looked super crooked. and wouldn't flip up, so I just put my 10ga back in. fucker.

This is where we are staying on our honeymoon http://www.1bigbear.com/htmdoc/mtsunset.html
Cute lil private cabin for two.. away from people.. yeah!
Oct 3, 200300:26
One last post before bed. Instead of listing this in my description.. I'll just write a rant on here. Things I hate -
teenagers
teenagers obsession with the 80's
legwarmers- they were ugly then, they are ugly now
bands named after smiths songs
old people who think I'm "gothic" or "punk"
people who forget tattoos as fashion are STILL permanent
wedding planning
healing piercings
healing tattoos
my roomates dog
Oct 2, 200323:33
I should spend some time writing out bills and doing crap I need to do... I guess I feel like I'm never doing enough, that I always have so much I need to do.. I get my shit done, its not like I don't get all my bills payed, and junk like that, but mebbe I just don't like being an adult. Heh.
Oct 1, 200323:55
fucking christ. I look just like my family its so goddamned weird. If you see pictures of my parents at different stages, or in this case, my dads mother, (I'd say my grandma, but she died before I was born).. I look just like both my parents, its a good thing, because my parenst are both really good looking for their age... I wouldn't mind looking like either, but god forbid I become like either of them mentally... I see some resemblence there... but not as bad as either of them... my dad has anxiety way worse than me, he takes pazil and xanax, I just take celexa, and only 5mg... my moms in love with a married guy on the internet. Oh gawd. Help me.
Sep 28, 200322:19
I talked to my dad for an hour on the phone, we talked about politics... me and my dad always talk worldly isses, and me and my mom always talk family-ish issues... funny how that works. I want to paint my bike pink. I need Wes to help me. I want a light and a basket for it. That would be super sweet. It was only 80$ at costco and its really fun to ride. Charly is such a good dog... he just lays on the floor next to me. I may go upstairs to read soon and go to bed...
Sep 28, 200320:22
I bought my beach cruiser... gawd, whitewood is a fucking hill and it sucks to ride up it. Either way, I rode about 3.5 miles home today. Congratulate me on not being such a lazy fat ass.
Sep 27, 200321:53
My eyes are still burning from crying all day long. I hate crying at work. Blah. After this wedding and living situation are figured out I'll be less stressed. Hopefully I get a seasonal position so I don't kill everyone in my department. I want a bike. It'll get me off my ass and it'll be good for me mentally.
Sep 25, 200322:50
I got my ribs done, and all I have left is my bluewash fill in 2 weeks and THEN.. My chest will be all finished. I like to finish things before starting anything else. I hate unfinished tattoos. On you.
Wes pierced my helix the other day.. its too cute, I love it lots. I hope it heals quickly because I like to change positions alot when I sleep.
I should post updated pictures but I'm way lazy.
Sep 23, 200313:36
Good gosh, I love modest mouse. I'm gonna be happily married soon, so I can't be emo I suppose. But I do have star tattoos.. hrmmm? Uh. no. Actually.
I'm gonna go hang out at wes's work in a few minutes. Tommarrow i get my wedding drss from the tailors... and then I go and get tattooed.. I think if I can sit for a long enough time it'll be my last session on my chest.. or at least my second to last.. I've been working on this tattoo for like 9 months, I'm ready to move onto my arm dammit! That'll wait til after my wedding I suppose. I saw on someone page "future plans" for the same sleeve.. but "future plans" hardly ever seem to be in the future for people.
Sep 21, 200319:00
Yesterday was very nice. I got to talk and hang out with people I haven't seen for a long time... The only shitty part was when my car battery died and I had to do the run around with triple A... but all the guys from High Priestess and Diedre from Enigma came out to help try and push start my car. I can't say thank you enough for helping me out.
Look. I'm old school. 4 years ago at inkslingers and tattoo tour. Yeah, before I even had tattoos I went to conventions.
Certain groups of tattooed people don't show up at conventions... I guess you'd find them at whatever "cool" band's show is playing. There is always the non tattooed slutty girls... but the people who I know have tattoos because its the hot thing right now... are still absent from the conventions.. hmm...
Sep 20, 200309:21
I'll be wearing a black shirt and khaki skirt, so if you see me at inkslingers say "hi erica!" :)
Sep 19, 200320:11
Inkslingers is tommarrow, hope to see you all there!
Sep 18, 200319:18
I hate retail.
Sep 18, 200301:26
My blood sugar is normal. I'm prolly just getting sick from my stress level and the fact that if something is going around I get it, being in an enviroment where I'm exposed to HUNDREDS of people and the crap they touch, I'm prone to get sick. I need to get a new job, or get into a different department.
I got new tires thanks to Wes. And I cleaned our desk out.. I threw ALOT of stuff out. And I made new wedding invitations. Go me.
Sep 16, 200323:00
I'm trying to figure out what is WRONG with me.... I almost passed out today in the shower, I had a super fast pulse, and then I started to black out.... if you've ever fainted, its weird.... I've never gone totally under, but almost about 4 times now... I managed to turn off the shower and lay down till it was over... I'm thinking I might have hypoglycemia... who knows, I have alost of symptoms, and it runs in my family... so I need to go to the docter and get tested.. or just buy a kit or whatnot.
Sep 13, 200310:51
Wes discovered the horror that is getting your ribs tattooed... i said, "even worse than your elbow?" "it hurt in my elbow too!" My elbow hurts when i get my ribs tattooed too. Fuck that, you even brain and crossed synapses. I will most likely be getting my ribs done agian on the 24th... I should just smoke some weed like I did that one time and suck it up. Marijuana doesn't dull much of the pain, but it does distract your mind well from it more than anything else...
I'll take pictures of wes's work, he needs to update his shit, yo.
Sep 12, 200322:37
Fuck it, I'm gonna bitch anyways. Allright depression sucks, and antidepressents don't do a whole lot, they take the edge off.. but don't fix it all. I hate being lonely, I hate feeling like I don't have any freinds since moving here. The people I've tried making friends with either are flakey or something like, Wes and them get into a fight and somehow they aren't my freinds anymore either. Which is pretty fucking gay if you ask me. Same with the people who call when they need rides somewhere or need a haircut or whatever. My bridal shower kinda proved to me who is freinds with me or whatnot... um, my best freind from high school and my family, and well, thats about it. Fuck, even the people at work who I only talk to at work, still are there when I need rides home when wes has my car.
I'm fucking shy as it is, and being outgoing and making friends is NOT my strong point, but I guess even when I make freinds those people tend to do a damned good job of letting me down by not being there, or just being flakey. guy freinds are better about this by far, but guys are guys and girls need a few close girl freinds. Either way I've been angry and depressed about this for a long time, and every once in a while I just need to let it out.
Sep 12, 200322:07
Being home alone sucks... wes is getting tattooed, I can't go anywhere because hes got my car. He forgot that when he told me to go to the movies. I would make a long post about my feelings at the moment but BME isn't half as private as I'd wish it to be.
Sep 10, 200323:37
Wes is working out at the gym, and I am home alone, bored. There is only so much BME, I can look at. I bought sexy stuff at Victoria secret today for Wes.. he liked it, it was cute. Then, I bought a some stuff at bed bath and beyond.. all this thanx to getting married. Instead of eloping, go throught the stressful crap and get lots of gifts. Tommarrow I have to go back to work... but next weekend is inkslingers, which should be fun.
Sep 9, 200315:19
I'm super bored... and I'm trapped at home w/out my car. I was gonna put my wedding invitations together but my target regestry cards are in my car. Its boring being home alone. With nothing to do but chores which I don't plan on doing. at least if I was stoned I would be doing something, which would be, being stoned.
Sep 8, 200300:41
As much as I don't want to move, i don't want to live with our roomate Brett, Des is fine, but living here makes me feel like walking on eggshells. If I have 5 dishes in the sink my roomate tells me to clean them like hes our mom. Same goes for if the toilet is running, if I use the BBQ outside, or if I put the trash in the wrong trash can.
I don't bitch about the mess their dog makes in the backyard chewing shit up, the fact that we ALWAYS pick up the dogshit, the mess in the garage that I clean up, the fact thier dog plays in my dogs water bowl, making my dog have dirty water or no water at all. Nor do I bitch about the fact that our alchol gets drunk by their freinds... we never bitch, we suck it up...
We have an oppurtunity to move into a smaller house (I like one stories better) for the same rent, with Matt and Johann, but we need to finalize it and give our roomates notice so they can either figure out their living situation.
Sep 7, 200317:48
Tjis is why I'm not too fond of girls... I invite people to my bridal shower and people say they are going to come, and who shows up? My family and my best freind, but thats it. My friends who are guys seem to come through alot more than the girl freinds I make. It doesn't suprise me, it just disappoints me.
On another note, I'm gonna put away all my fun new kitchen crap.
Sep 7, 200312:49
Good gawd. Whats more annoying than being asked the same question one hundred times? Being asked the same question one hundred times by another person. When I say "I don't know" I mean, I don't know, not I know and I'd think its funny not to answer you... I may strangle my family. Because I don't know who is coming to my bridal shower. It was a late notice... I just want food, I'm fucking starving, and if I make myself anything it'll be big and then I won't eat what they brought.
Sep 6, 200312:17
I broke down and bought a membership to Classmates.com... You know and I know, it was just to talk shit. I was like, one of the only people who was married (well, about to be married).. which was kinda funny... but we are only 23, so... I look better than I did in high school. I'm not gonna be fat with 3 kids and an ugly husband when I go to my 10 year renunion.
Sep 5, 200320:18
So anyways, Wes is making lots of $$ at his job which is good, because he deserves it after being broke for so long. 2, hes driving my car, which is fine becase hes not crashing it.. 3, my car is now insured and its not that much $$ about 125$ a month for the both of us on a 2001 honda civic. Which means I am officially, totally free from my parents paying for anything for me... my dad payed for my health insurence till I was 22, and then I got it when I qaulified at costco, and then my car insurence until recently, when it ran out for a couple months... but now thats all taken care of.
My bridal shower is sunday, I hope to see everyone there (yes you Tera and Stephanie who don't ever call or visit anymore.)
Sep 5, 200309:09
Yeah... I finally got my account unlocked... stupid card, won't work on here... prolly because my credit card was stolen and all that fun stuff that goes along with it.
Aug 27, 200321:50
Almost all my wedding invitations have been sent out, I hope to see you guys there... :)
Aug 24, 200300:41
Well... I'm going to my grandmas monday and sending out my invitations...
Aug 21, 200318:26
Gawd I'm tired... Its nice to come home to a quiet house sometimes... I always miss Wes but its nice spending time alone too, which I can't say I've done much of since living here.
I got my car insurance, got my bridal shower invitations out... got my leg touched up, got more wedding stuff.. fasinating, my life.
Aug 18, 200300:33
I get too tired to actually concentrate playing a game with 5 other people so the computer helps me relax. I get tattooed on my leg wensday, just a touch up before inkslingers. I don't think I'll get a chance to actually have my bridal shower. Its getting too late and my mom is still bitching about having it where I live. Blah. I'll email her or whatnot... we are going out tuesday, so we'll talk then. Tuesday Wes needs to get his business license...
Remids me.. I read an article on how kids are obsessed with the 80's. No fucking kidding. Its getting to be a joke when the local newspaper write about it. Get it? If you were born after 84 you were too young to remember shit. And you grew up on Pearl Jam and Soundgarden, not Flock of Seagulls. 80's fashion wasn't good, it wasn't bad, it was fucking horrible... if I ever see anyone wearing shoulder pads oh man ... the music was the only redeeming quality, and half the shit is questionable.
The 80's was full of really cool stuff like the units stores... that shit was UGLY. Oh and tight stone washed jeans with zippers in the back... or what about puffy paint? That shit was not cute, it was ugly.
Aug 14, 200322:38
I hate getting all cute, and not having enough energy to go out.
Aug 14, 200319:42
I hate healing tattoos, I hate not seeing Wes when I get home.
Aug 13, 200323:35
Allright.. heres some nice pictures of my chest piece. One side is touched up on the leaves.. and one pod is left uncolored.. after this, I need my ribs retouched and then its time to start on the blue backround shading.. then, on to my 3/4 sleeve.
Aug 13, 200321:56
Got tattooed today. Wes started his new job. Smoked alot today. Found out how much it'll cost to insure my car. Cheap. Like for me and Wes its 60$ a month each. Sweet. More pictures later. I have an appointment next week for my leg and 3 weeks for my chest again.
Aug 12, 200319:56
So yeah, my roomate lost this sack of weed on her birthday.. and that was in.. April.. lo and behold she found it when she was packing for Vegas... she gave it too me.... sweet.
Aug 11, 200322:01
Aug 11, 200321:59
I added some pics of our dog to my page.. hes so cute.. Wes starts work tomarrow.... I need car insurance... everyone is way expensive.. about 300$ a month for the both of us... I own a 2000 honda civic and I've had an accident and two tickets. How crappy huh?
Play 20 questions.. the scary part is... when it wins.
Aug 5, 200322:58
Wes's mom took us shopping... we got more wedding stuffs... and food. We rented some movies and tomarrow we are going to the beach.
Aug 3, 200322:16
I don't feel so hot today.... too tired to actually do anything. Some stupid fat cunt hit me with her cart today hard enough to make my arm bleed and didn't bother to apologize. Gawd, I'm STILL pissed. And you wonder why I hate the customers at Costco, they are fucking morons with no manners. They pay us decently so why don't actually go postal (well, not always, it happens sometimes) on the customers who think they can treat us like shit.
The party we went to was full of candy and asian kids selling E. Gross. Colorful beads are not cute, butterfly wings and glowy shit is gross. People watching wasn't even that interesting. Oh well. $$ was made.
Aug 1, 200314:22
August 13th.. I have another appointment on my chest.. I'm gonna bring her some artwork for my sleeve too.... I'm waiting till after my wedding for that though... I don't want an unfinished sleeve and the less my family freaks out the better.
Aug 1, 200312:57
I can't gte my forum buttons to look good... any sugesstions? The resoultion just looks shitty when they are posted, but fine when I veiw the picture. Eh.
I'm not a pervert (well, thats not true either) but I'm always curious on how other women get off.. because I'm some kinda anomely.
Aug 1, 200300:46
So I'm feeling better now... people came over and had a BBQ, jim (wizzer) came over and me and wes met him, he was a nice kid and was polite when I handed out burgers. Someone has been drinking my sunny delights, and it hasn't been me. I reyed my hair back to black, fuck my hair being pink, buut now my eyebrows are stained black.. uck. I hope it goes away by tomarrow.
Oh yeah,, my tattoo artist is back from asai, she called me tonite, I'll call her back and scedule an appointment soon. Since I'm all paid up for my chest and 3/4 sleeve. Sucka.
Jul 29, 200313:46
I finally got medicine... kick ass antibiotics and cough syrup.. its really hot right now, and I'm totally sweating, but the hydrocodone (vicoden in case you didn't know) makes it all allright. My next paycheck will suck. Oh well. Being sick sucks.
I got lots of new clothes, thank you Char.
Jul 26, 200312:41
Hmm.. this is what I uploaded.. and its not what showed up.. so my event got deleted.. poopy. Oh well, its getting readded...
Just so everyone knows drugs are not cheap! They are expensive... thats why being a drug addict is a full time job. :) I have a full time job at costco instead. hehe..
I'm still sick. YUCK.
Jul 25, 200320:20
Today I went to work, and threw up. Cheerios taste the same going up or down. I coughed and hacked, then they let em go 2 hours early.. we were supposed to go out tonite, but its shit like that that make whatever I caught turn into broncitis.
I'm mad about lots of things right now, but this definalty isn't the place to put that stuff down.
Jul 24, 200318:24
Well, I got photoshop to work, but for some reason, some pics just look liek shit... oh well. I'm sick, coughing, and I lost my voice. I'm glad to be back home, I called in sick to work... ugh.
Jul 23, 200320:29
I made a button!!!
Jul 23, 200318:34
Well, my mom came over, we picked up my wedding dress... it needs a lil alteration... I found a pair of cheap shoes, a veil, and tiara.. I originally didn't want a veil, but this one looked good, so, we got it. Then we went to Joann's, which has halloween stuff in, and bought a bunch of halloween stuff... heh.. and some more wedding stuff.
Now I'm home, feeling sick, and i don't want to drive to LA, but we have to.. I might have to drive him to LA again tomarrow, but its 300$, and then on friday and saterday night, good gawd! if I have to go tomarrow... then I'd have to call in sick... I'm sick, so it'd be okey tho.... I'd prolly go shopping on melrose while hes shooting, that'd be fun....
Jul 23, 200300:09
Ahhhh.. the house is all clean for a visit from my mom, last time she bitched about my house being dirty (riiiight) but I made sure to clean my bathroom super well for her this time... we also rearranged the furniture in the living room, and put the rug from the family room, into the kitchen. FUCK white tile.
Jul 22, 200314:13
When I'm sick... all I want to eat is fruit... I bought grapes and bananas at costco. I hate being in the palce on my days off. But we stopped and talked to Wes's mom (did you know my bf's mom is one of my bosses?) and she said we could go to thier house and pick up soem food, which we did.
Tomarrow I go in and get my MRI done on my wrist.. gotta take out my jewerly tonite... afterwards I want wes to pierce me.... lower navel.. and then my mom is coming over and we are going to do soem wedding shopping, and then going to go pick up my wedding dress.
Jul 20, 200319:48
I'm gonna start dinner soon.. I think I got what Wes has.. i don't wanna get sick.. yuck. Comic Con was fun, one day is enough for me... I hate crowds and its just too much for me.
The tattoo con was WAY too busy, they oversold and the fire marshall wanted to shut it down... ugh, I would NOT want to get tattooed in a place that busy, I need to relax. I met John Durante, which was cool, he was very nice, and humble which is good. I HATE people who think that if they are "cool" in a scene, then everyone should know who they are... I saw Steve Hayworth, but I didn't talk to him.. he looks exactly the same in real life... same with his gf... who's name I don't know. Kat, John and Joey Strange all did suspensions which was neat.. Kat's knee suspension was my fave to see.
My tattoo won 2nd place is best small color for my leg piece... pretty good for a tattoo that has scabs on it still.. there was what I would consider questionable judges (a pornstar and a football player? WTF???).. oh well, Brian still got a trophy... Yeah! Wes is home!!!!
Jul 19, 200323:51
too tired to write much....
I went to comic con, and the the pomona convention, saw alot of bme people, saw suspensions, won 2nd place in a tattoo contest..
Jul 17, 200301:50
my tattoo is finaly peeling... yeah!
Jul 15, 200319:30
My bbq memories...
Balls on head. Nature walks. Eatin'. Titties. Smokin'.
Jul 14, 200322:15
So, I got full time for sure at my work... (did I allready post that?) And tonite we went out to dinner with Wes's parents, and she said for our wedding gift, Wes's scooter will be all paid off.. and shes buying our cake. Things seem to be turning around... I need to call the docter for the results of my biopsy soon...
My dog chewed up my last chapstick.. the little fucker.
Jul 12, 200323:30
The BME BBQ was lots of fun...Its was nice seeing freinds I allready knew, and meeting lots of new people (Vanessa, a few Daves, Tony, Dyan, ect, ect) . Its amazing how many people really look different than their pictures and how some look the same (Testa)... I won't mention the ones who look better online (you can't see bad skin online), but I will say aeonia/Vanessa looks WAY hot in person. We had two smoking tents set up, and I think I managed to squeeze my ass 3 times in the tents throughout the day. I cooked burgers for my crew, which turned out tastier than expected. They had a pinata, in which Matt and Wes beat... I fell over laughing in the grass with Matt.. they just kept lying to him, and dropping the whole thing on him. Hahaha! It was filled with many goodies, which I got a few of. I specifically liked my I <3 Jesus air freshener. Everyone was cool... Nature walks are a go! Someone passed out and was the perfect victim for balls on face. Tony's escalade was good for BBQ debauchery. I got to see prolly, the most amazing (I prefer smaller, but..) nevertheless, the most amazing pair of boobies... I got to touch some naughty piercings, so did Wes.. and I didn't even have to DRIVE! How great is that?
Jul 11, 200319:29
Which one is false.....
1. When I was 3, my mom found me unconscious on the kitchen floor, knocked out from climbing up on the counter, and falling on my head.
2. I won first place in my high school art show.
3. I once accidently killed my neighbors cat and quickly buried it, pretending I knew nothing about the "dissaperance."
4. I have orgasms from anal sex.
5. I didn't see Star Wars until it was rerealesed in the theatres.
**F-LINK: 3jth28p-: Which one?**
Jul 10, 200322:26
Wanna see something rad? Look at my finished leg! Brian did such a wonderful job...
Wes pierced Matt's ears and nipples today. Matt's a trooper.
Its fuckin hot in here.
Jul 8, 200322:51
I get my leg finished tomarrow. I took a nap, and Wes cooked dinner, it was nice. Give him a job because we are poor. Or I'll sell his toys on ebay, and you don't want that to happen. Its gonna be spagetti for the next 3 months I think. How many things can you go with spagetti?
Jul 7, 200322:25
random rant...
Some people on the internet are stupid. Most people on the internt are just fine. I like the majority of people I've met offline on BME. The vast majority are super rad. But it seems like, you meet a hundred nomral people, but there are those few that are, well, fucking crazy in the head. Why are you people crazy in the head?? Its only girls that I've met or my freinds have met off bme that are straight up in need of therapy.. three of my guy freinds off bme have been accused of *trying* to rape chicks, by other chicks off bme. Its pisses me off because they are accusing these people when nothing remotly like a rape accured number one, but most of all, it undermines the girls who actually are raped. Ugh. I hate crazy girls.
**F-LINK: b3oyq3c-: stupid people**
Jul 6, 200323:30
4th of July was a BBQ at Jeremy's million dollar baller' home. Went swimming. (I love swimming) Threw cherry bombs in the pool, that shits entertainMENT. Saterday hustled our way into a party, which was pretty dea, the Dj's weren't bad, but the sound system was making my ears hurt. The orion is gross, it smells and should be burned to the ground. There are ALOT of good parties going on. Its summer.... thats why. I should get a second job or something. Or someone should just give Wes A job and we'd be set.
My stomach is made of TOUGH stuff. Thats all I can say about that. Thankfully that stuff isn't full of nerve endings.
Oh yeah, I finished Harry Potter, now I have to wait HOW long for another one? I have other book series to read. Shelters of Stone came out on paperback, its 4 something at costco, cheaper than lunch.
Jul 3, 200321:18
Me and Wes and Matt went to pick up Amber and then we went to the fair, it was hot and sunny... we are all very white and the sun is our enemy... then we went back to Amber and built furniture and THEN she threw a box at me.
I forgot it was thursday and now we are home, and its still hot out and we are bored.. if there is nothing to do, I will proceed to bleach my hair.
Jul 3, 200301:27
So I went had had my biopsy today, it wasn't that bad... they took 5 samples.. the worst part was the vinager they sprayed me with, it stung and was cold. If you haven't had a pap smear yet, GO! Broke? www.plannedparenthood.com
After that fun stuff, we visited Brett in OC (solja) and went to lunch at olive garden, and then went minature golfing - "play where it lands!" which was um, quite funny. Wes won.. We also got to ride around in Bretts sweet ride. Which smells like old car.
Tommarrow we are supposed to go to San Deigo...
Jun 29, 200322:50
Wes and me had a great night... you can read details on his page... he didn't mention I got free vicoden from some kid, who asked me to look for his gf in the bathroom. Sweet.
I have 3 days off this week in a row, we were gonna go somewhere but I have so much stuff to do, I think its impossable because I'm supposed to go to the docters and get tattooed wensday.
Who wants to be visited thursday or friday?
Jun 28, 200320:21
Dammit! Its a good thing I don't always flush when I pee because one of my plugs came out. I'm guessing right now, it was the left one....(checks) yup, it was the left one. Damn stretchy labia piercings.

I got the amber plugs in my labia FINALLY. I've had those plugs for 7 months and haven't put them in anywhere.. my ears hate me, so they didn't go in there... so I now have 2ga or so with 0ga or so flares in my labia...
my tummy hates me, so today definatly is not the day for a piercing...
Jun 26, 200311:41
Wes is convinced my dads lost it... I just think hes taking too many antidepressents and smoking too much weed.. Yeah, I think my dad needs a therepist.. but oh well. He tried to give me an old table for my birthday... um, okey, I don't care if hes broke, a hug is fine by me, thats all I need. I forgot his shirt, so I'm going to mail it to him.
I put the 4ga rings in my labia.. they are heavy and annoying, buy it'll get me to those 0ga plugs, so whatever.
Jun 25, 200312:04
Oh yeah, we ordered a 0gauge taper FINALLY... which means.... that wes will stretch his pa to 0, and I will restretch my labia, and get those 0ga amber plugs there.... I would put them in my ears, but I really like the idea of them being in my labia...
We are supposed to have dinner with my dad tonite... and I have to go to the stupid docter to get my prescription refill... and tonite we are going to go to fullerton college and talk to them again, I need to tell them I want to go to school in january, and I want wes to go to school too, since he'd be good at it, and he could have a career where he can look how he wants and unfortunatly, guys on the average make more $$.
Jun 25, 200300:46
We ordered piercing supplies.... which is always fun stuff... perhaps I'll finally get my christina...

My birthday was fun.. thanx to everyone who came.. and thanx for all the nice gifts. :) I guess Wes says I smoked a heroic amount of weed... (I took one vicoden too)I don't remember smoking THAT much, I guess I was more fucked up than I remember.. I passed out on the couch, whilst Wes made fun of Annie.. and Eric came by around 1:30am.. I remember them getting Azelia from my room and being able to sleep in my bed around 3:30am.
Adam left me a few nugs, but I 'm not smoking now... bed time soon.
Jun 21, 200310:59
I guess I need to clean up the house a lil bit, and then get ready to go to my roomates bridal shower, then come home, and clean the rest of the shit up.
Jun 20, 200320:05
Just fucking great, my pap smear came back, and I need to get dermal punch in my fucking cervix. Just what I need. Sounds like fun.
Jun 19, 200310:08
Did I mention I was sober the WHOLE day on my birthday? WTF is that?
Jun 18, 200318:21
I went grocery shopping for my birthday, fasinating. :) I'm still sober. I bought a bottle o wine, and I'm still waiting to get high and eat lasagna and salad.
Jun 17, 200321:54
On the east coast it is officially my birthday.... my family apologized for being assholes to me and my dad bugged me about wes not having a job. My dad also told my mom it was her career, or their marriage. So I don't take too much financial advice from that guy. I need to pay my car insurance since he can't... haha.. I don't have any money. But I have a credit card. Ugh. This isn't good.
Tomarrow I'm going to try and smoke alot of weed, and forget about my wedding.. saterday is my party.. if I haven't imed you, im me for directions... heres a picture of my dog.. because hes so sweet and my peeely tattoo.

Jun 13, 200323:12

Here is the tattoo I have planned for tommarrow... yeah I'm off work for two days.. tonite I think me and wes are going to starbucks...
Jun 10, 200310:04
I get tattooed tommarrow. Yeah! Its gonna be my leg, and a Mark Ryden piece.... nardi714 (brian) is gonna be doing it... I knew it would suck not getting any work while waiting for Kimmie to get back for Thailand... Oh yeah, and before that, i get to go to planned parenthood for my yearly exam... oh joy. I actually don't mind nearly as much as the average chick, so it works out. I'd rather go there than my normal docter, they are way less freaked out by piercings and stuff...
thursday my mom and sis are coming over and we are going to order my wedding dress and do some wedding shopping, then my mom is finally going to meet wes's parents.. ugh.. I should go to work now....
oh gawd, I'm bored... I'm gonna go wake wes up and make him call someone to go and do something... I'm hungrey too, but too lazy to cook anything and too broke ot go out and buy anything, ya know?
Jun 4, 200323:34
wedding registration!
me and wes went to target and regestered for our wedding... if you are curious or generous, or both... you can look us up here - http://www.target.com/gp/gift-registries.html/601-6087209-5100953
type in wes strawther under groom, ca as the state... thats us listed for a halloween wedding this year..
we cooked pork marinated in beer, onions and garlic... and watched about shimdt...
Jun 1, 200322:57
My mom and sis will finally see our house next week... and we will go and get my wedding dress ordered as well... I'm sleepy but I don't wanna go to sleep just about yet.
Jun 1, 200300:55
Wee... I finally dyed my hair again tonite.. it was in serious need. Yesterday I felt anti-social... and layed on the couch trying to sleep while charley (the dog) kept licking me... Highlight of the weekend was going to a house party, and punching som edrunk kid in the face.. so some reason he was asking people to punch him... and do I took a swing at his face. Being so little I should ask people if I can punch them more often... they'd be stupid enough to let me.
Next week is racheals house warming party.. wes prolly won't be going because he'll be working in his NEW job.
May 29, 200320:11
I found out there was a Mark Ryden showing in LA that I missed by 2 weeks. How shitty.. I discovered Mark Ryden when a freind of mine got a mark ryden bunny tattooed on her... it looks good, except it has a thick black outline... she doesn't think it looks so good.. but it really does... my friend dfinatly isn't the type you'd expect to have a mark ryden tattoo...
I got the days I needed off, my wedding, comic con, socal BBQ, the day I'm taking to get my dress...
May 28, 200321:12
I got back from my grandmas house, which was fine, and then we went to Artistry in Ink, and the tattoos were pretty unimpressive... I am bored... and too lazy to write any sort of interesting entry here.
May 21, 200312:04
Whoa... I was trying to get directions to my grandmas house and she was like just randomly naming off highways and stuff and I was like, ohhhkay, do you know the name and directions of these highways? Thank GAWD for mapquest, and Wes, because those two things combined make driving way easier.. I'm leaving for my grandmas house friday morning and will be coming back saterday.. the drive shouldn't be too bad, mebbe 2-2 1/2 hours... which is basically nothing.. an hour is what I expect to drive to most places... I want to convince Wes to PLEASE come with with me... seeing as I hate driving far without him... I don't want to be a skeleton in the desert when I get lost.
May 20, 200322:58
So, the old owners basically decided since he was adopted, they didn't want him back... how sad... that bitch doesn't deserve a dog.. we got a hold of her through the animal shelter and Wes talked to her, well basically listened to an excuse on why she couldn't take him... whatever. Wes isn't too happy with him, he feels too much like hes someone elses dog, understandable.. but hes well trained and is very sweet. Hes kinda loppy, he tends to walk into walls 'cause hes looking at you, and he doesn't realize that a wall is going to smack him in the face.... and his back legs are kinda off.. hip problems of some sort...
May 19, 200313:38
Today the shelter called us, I guess the original owners have been trying to get a hold of the shelter(drive down there you weiners and LOOK) and they positively identified the dog we adopted... so, we legally own the dog now, but I'd feel bad if it was my dog, and i couldn't get him back.. so thursday I'm going to bring him back to the shelter for the owners to pick up... the owners lived like 50 mile away from the shelter, and that why it took them awhile to figure out where he could be.
Hes such a sweetie, but its not right to keep someones dog if the owners want him... Wes isn't that fond of him, because he felt like he was too much like someone elses dog... so thursday after we drop him off, I think we are going to go to this other animal shelter that had puppies that need homes.
May 15, 200321:01
We found dog... hes a one year old lab/shepard mix.. hes really sweet, calm, and loves to be around people...
May 15, 200301:28
We went to see the Matrix II tonite.. tomarrow we are going to go and look at dogs at the San Diego shelter to adopt... here is the one we saw a picture of...
May 14, 200320:17
Ah.. poor wes is so torn I didn't make it onto suicide girls... no more naked pics of me on the internet... but no $$ for tattoos... Ah well.
May 13, 200323:59
Crusty color work... ack, why do my tattoos like to scab? The only one that didn't was done by Kari Barba... so like, that doesn't even count... heh... I like the deatil work and I can't wait till the flower is finished, and then the shading, and I will FINALLY get this piece finished!!!
May 11, 200320:11
Ugh, I still feel sick from last night, I called in sick to work today too... yucky yucky.... nobody in town had weed to smoke me out and make me feel better I guess someone big got busted around here... rather shitty I suppose. Ah well... I'll live. We are going to go to coldstone creamery mmmmm... ice cream.
May 11, 200314:33
So last night me and wes got tattooed. he got the yellow finished, and a few other little spots and all.. I got the detail work on my vines, and all the rest of the lower leaves filled in.... silly me, i took 2 vicoden, one little and one big, then one more after a few gours.. i was fine the whole time getting tattooed, then when I got up, I started to get super shakey, and pukey, and couldn't do anything but lay on Kimmies couch till 3am, (5 hours after I got tattooed) getting up to puke every so often... we finally made it home, but not without me stopping to barf twice, and one more time after we got home.. by that time it was just stomach acid. I payed Kimmie in full for my cheast piece work, and for a 3/4 sleeve, she leaves to go to Thailand the 21st, and won't be back till the end of July.. lucky bastard, so I won't be getting tattooed till August.. I'll post some pictures later on.
May 7, 200308:36
Suicide girls wrote me back.. more naked pictures of me all over the internet?
its 8:30 am, I took wes to work, now I have to get ready to go and babysit my neice... toooo early!
May 6, 200323:43
like whoa, charllotte added herself to BME agin, her hair is mutherfucking blonde.. like I should be suprised and all.. but the whole time I've known her its been red... her hair is naturally golden blonde... but its still weird... since last time I did her hair it still had lots of black in it and I bleached highlights through it and put a toner on it...
I cut this girl crystals hair, it looked pretty rad, I need to start taking pictures of hair that I do and put a portofolio together.
Me and wes went out to dinner then to the booktore and I bought him a new book.... well he paid 5$ of the costand them we stole a book from the free book section (I swear, they want us to take them!)
I'm getting tattooed saterday... yeah! Because its been awhile!!! Wes needs to take some shots of his arm because it does look rad so far.
I dyed my hair again last night and now its darker, and the lighting at work makes it look like a dark burgandy, but at home and in natural lighting its fucshia or whatever...
May 5, 200314:44
Oops.. I rebleached my hair and redyed it, and I accidently turned my hair pink... it looks rad, but my work won't be having it, so I decided to just buy spray is stuff and spray it over when I go to work.. no biggie.
Wes got a fat paycheck, and he owed me $$ and STILL has $$ left over.
May 3, 200300:16
My work never btched about my hair... fucking amazing... let me tell you. Wes couldn't get into xmen because he used my debit card to pay for his ticket and they wouldn't let him... which is lame, but whatever.
I got a raise at work... which is nice, because now my next raises will be over shitty .25 cent raises... It takes eight steps (raises) to top out at costco... you have to work 800 hours for each step... and after you've topped out you get bonuses every april and october. So I mean Costco definatly isn't the worst place to work... but its still wants to eat your soul.
May 2, 200300:26
Wes gets all cuddly when hes intoxicated, or he just ignores me tons.. one of the two.. tonite his vicoden is making him attack my face with his scratchy face.... ah well, tommarrow he'll bring Marya home from LA with him.. so its all cool.
Apr 30, 200323:38
I need to go back to school! And my roomates need to figure out electricity isn't free... I'm hungry but I dunno what I want to eat.
Apr 30, 200314:21
Wes is still crippled... and I'm lazy waking up at 2pm.... I think it was the pot brownies... I ate about 4 little squares last night, they were tasty... but then they made us high for hours... which is slightly amusing... somehow I was entertained online for hours without bme... heh.
Apr 28, 200300:59
Wes hurt his hand all sorts of not good. Heh, we had to go to the ER and get xrays... and my christina piercing is postponed until further notice.
Apr 27, 200300:46
Went to LA, spent too much money buying jewerly, I bought more spiral buffalo plugs... they are about 2 1/2" and fucking rad... and a barbell for a christina piercing.
Wasn't able to buy needles, the shop we get them from was closed... I need new forceps too.. the old ones were destroyed. Tommarrow I hope.
Apr 26, 200301:29
Tommarrow, day off - we go to LA, and hang out an melrose, visit Sque3z in pasadena and pick up marya..
Apr 23, 200319:01
Wes is a super genius and found our grocery $$.. it was in the pocket behind the passenger seat ... how did it get there? I need to do my driving school... I finally figured it out today.. but its gonna cost me 25$, ugh.
I want a christina piercing.. but it sounds like a huge pain in the ass. I don't want to spend the money on jewerly and have it reject or not heal or be painful during sex. And the shaving thing... I like to shave right there... so i don't think I'll do it... I oughta just gat horizontal hood, and more labia piercings.
ACK! I went to look at jewerly this shop nearby (our little town has 3 crappy shops, mind you, that everyone goes to) and I just asked about an industrial barbell (to make a surface bar with) and the counter guy was just asking lots of questions, I said it was for a christina..he'd never heard of one so I tried to explain it to him... so the piercer walks in, and he was like what'd ya need? I said "I was looking for a barbell, but you didn't have my size" (eew, I did not want the "scream" brand body jewerly they carried) The counter guy pipes up its for a christina (which isn't a common piercing, but isn't that unusual) and the piercer was like "a what?" And I'm like "you're a piercer and you don't know what a christina is?" he proceeds to tell me he knows what piercings names are, not some "made up name" I was like "uh yeah, thats the name, its pretty well known." He says in a cocky voice, "did you go to school for that?" I replied with a "did you?" "Yeah I took anatomy, I know what the body parts are called."
See the pic below - thats an example of what he would call a surface bar.. thats exatcly what his nape piercings looked like. Eeew.. and people in this city are so dumb they would get pierced there... uh, gross.
I'll just got and visit Dave and buy jewerly from a nice shop owned and operated by people who aren't giant morons!
Apr 23, 200312:27
fucking fuck!
I can't find the rest of our grocery $$.. I know saterday night I took it into my car when we went to LA... I shoved it into my glovebox when we went to the party... I emptied my pockets when we got out and took all my shit inside when we came home... if the money (stored in an altoid can) was with me when I went upstairs I haven't seen it since... I don't think my glovebox is a random black hole either... one place I haven't looked is in wes's bag, know knows it may have gotton shoved in there and he has no idea its there... our bags look exactly alike in the dark.
Oh did I mention that I lost 200$ on my deposit for the wedding chapel.
On the up side? My next paychecxk is all mine, no bills and then, I get the rest of my mad fat cash for my bug tonite when they come to pick it up.
ugh, my computer desk was invaded by ants... the pest guy came and sprayed? Not like you'd know it by how many ants we have.
Apr 22, 200301:34
Wee! I finally got my star tattoo on my pinky... we did the left side tonite... I want both, but we we were lazy... Wes did a good job.... dang thats a sore spot to get tattooed I surely wouldn't want to get tattooed there for longer than the 5 minutes it took to do the star.
Apr 21, 200313:42
The party in LA was nice... Wes is still uber stoked about seeing DJ swamp...
My eyes are all burny today because we went to Sque3z and Annes house and had carne asada and sat around the fire pit till midnight or so... they are great fun to hang around with and their daughter is adorable. If I knew I'd end up with a kid like that I wouldn't hesitate to have kids, but my kid would prolly end up with me and Wes's worse traits and I'd have to strangle the poor thing.
I wish the clouds would go away.. I hate clouds....
I wish taking 10mg of celexa didn't make my tummy feel like shit... because 5 mg leaves me in limbo. 10mg makes me function mentally as I should, but the physical side effects are too much, the nasuea and heartburn throw me into the bathroom to puke almost daily... I end up eating tums like candy. Smoking pot helps those side effects but then I become the absent minded lazy fuck that is me high. 5mg takes the edge off, and I don't get the physical side effects, but I'm still more sensitive than I need to be about things people say to me... or do, or don't do... I need to make a docters appointment and see what he says.. I can't sleep if I take it at night, which is what i do with birth control...

I want my old position back, and by the rules I can decide to go back to my old position in 30 days.. now its been 3 weeks and my boss hasn't done shit.
My car will be picked up for sure wensday... the only night I don't work.

Apr 18, 200300:52
The people came to pick my car up, but it has a fuel leak, so they couldn't drive it home, besides all that I got stuck at work till 10pm... They'll come monday and fix the hose and drive it home. And then! I will get my mad fat wad of cash. Which, i talked to my tattoo artist, and I will be finishing my half sleeve and my cheats piece with part of that $$... goddam it is cold down here, I'm gonna up stairs to bed now.

How to spend 2500$
Allrighty... I shall now reveal to you, my bad spending habits... In the past 6 years I've come up on decent sums of $$... 3K when my mom sold her house, and 7K when my grandpa died... what do I have left of 10K? 500$... where did it all go you ask? I know for sure that 650$ went to my Kari Barba tattoo, 500$ towards a new computer(now in the trash), 3500$ towards buying both my cars, and at least 3000$ towards fixing my bug... that makes 8100$.... where the hell did 1900$ go???
If I had spent 1900$ on tattoos I'd have something to show for it... or 1900$ on the car I have now, I'd have something to show for it. I don't think spending money on cars is wise.. they have you know, that tendency to depreciate in value 10 minutes after you buy them and they do that crashy-boomy thing sometimes or clunk-clunk thing and THEN you have to spend lots of $$ paying to fix them... JUST so you can make it to work on time. Old cars are better investments.. you can usually sell them more twice as much as you bought them for if you take care of them. BUT, I know I have neither the knowledge, time or cash to have that hobby, as much as I love old cars.
This leaves me with certain options... I have a 1000$ in credit card debt, which, if I keep paying 50$ a month, & put my next tax return towards my credit card, I WILL pay it off in 12 months. I cut the damned thing up.. its evil! I had it almost paid off, until... ::cue scary music:: my computer died and I needed my wisdom teefs out.. add 750$ to my debt. or I could pay it off tommarrow and be done with it...
Part of that money IS going towards finishing my chest piece, but that would still leave me with 2K... with 2K I could definatly get some nice tattoo work... and its the one thing I'd buy that would be last me until I die. Which could be tommarrow, who knows?
Either way I dunno what I should do with the $$.... ideas?
**F-LINK: sjx3f2n-: How would you spend the cash?**
Apr 16, 200323:38
Sold!
Well, the first person to notice my car came over tonite, and test drove my car and they decided to buy it.. AND, AND, for my asking price, how sweet is that?? Yes, 2500$ in my pocket... mind you, I have a regular car allready, this is only my extra car that takes up space... I love it more than the car I drive now, for sure.. but the car I drive now is more practical...
Apr 16, 200302:48
another person called on my car today.. yeah! I hope to sell it in the next month or so... I would be more than happy if someone on IAM wanted it too, since I know there are alot of people here looking for cheap cars that are fun (and easy) to work on...
Tommarrow is my day off... yippie.

ooops... I forgot that I had to work till 10:30pm tonite and sceduled someone to come over to look at my car tonite.... so I called him to rescedule for wensday when i actually have a day off. I'm way hungrey but I dunno what there is to eat here.... we didn't do much this weekend, just went out to dinner with Wes's parents saterday night and rented movies after we got home.
I get paid friday, yeah! i still doubt I'll actually have any $$... I owe wes new tubes too which i need to buy, but he also owes me 22$ from his cell phone bill... blah.
Apr 11, 200312:16
who says you can't make a ho a housewife?
I get tattooed on the 10th of may... I'm thrilled... I dunno how much $$ I'll have, but I'll deal. Wes has 2 hours credit to get done... his arm looks fab after tuesday night. I'm way hungry, but way lazy.. I should get up and make myself some food..
I made plans to visit my grandparents next month.... my grandma is evil, but my grandpa is pretty cool.
:::yawn:::
Booya, I cleaned the house and I'm gonna try and sell my bug soon... I'm gonna make me some food and work on my car.. and I cancelled my earthlink, but now I need to ask my roomates if its okey if we have our wedding in this house... thats tonite.
Apr 10, 200311:29
Well yesterday was a very nice day... it was my only day off this week and it for sure makes up for the rest of week, in which I'll be working... I'm glad Wes had a nice birthday because birthdays can suck as we all know. Like our birthdays last year, yeah fuck those birthdays.
Now its time for me to get ready for work. ugh.
Apr 8, 200316:39
I almost forgot! I can listen to internet radio agin now with our cable modem.... it fucking rocks fer sure. That was definatly one of my fave things about high speed access...
I was thinking again about those kids saterday.. alot of were more visibly tattooed and pierced than me.. but it was weird to think most of them were so blown away and in some cases totally repulsed... why are some people into it for the fashion and don't realize its permenent... I was just surrounded by bro's with lip rings and girls with traditional tattoos covering their arms. Its funny to see trends evolve through tattoos... older tattoos like tribal or celtic work.. then later traditional... I like most styles of tattoo work, but not because one style is cool or not.
Ugh, whatever... people are stupid.
Apr 8, 200313:29
I should get off my lazy ass and make an effort to do my chores around the house.. but uh... I hate having to move.. ah well... time to work before work.
Apr 8, 200300:44
Everytime things get bad.. they go good eventually... me and wes got our deposit back from our apartment, and I'm getting my deposit back from Edison too.. so thats 200$, plus the 40$ I got from racheal.. I need 110$ to pay off my ticket (paid off, but I need to put my $$ back into my savings account. Oh shit I need to cancel earthlink. I'll do that tomarrow.... I think I allready got the 110$, but I'll wait till the end of the month or next paycheck to figure it out.
Saterday didn't go as planned, my roomates freinds suck.. and I had to kick them out at 1am.. if you didn't come to our party, be glad you didn't waste your time.
I'm getting back to my old job position, people want to take it, those suckers.
I got wensday off for Wes (its his birthday), we are going to the zoo and hillcrest. Weeee!!!!!
Apr 3, 200314:07
eerr... what'd I eat? My stomach has been revolting for 2 days. Mebbe I should drink fiber to stay regular.. oh gawd I'm not that old!
I've been cleaning the house and all that stuff... Riverside County sucks ass... the court system is a pain, jury duty and traffic school are far bigger headaches that they ever were in OC.
Apr 2, 200314:15
I like the option of specific ring tones for specific people on the cell phone. I don't have to get up and answer it if I know it obviously isn't someone I care to talk to. Like my work. They can kiss my fucking ass. I'm calling in sick saterday and I hope they get screwed. If it makes my bosses day harder, thats what will make me super happy.
I'm going to get off this thing and go do something productive.
Apr 2, 200313:43
We have stupid fast internet connection.... but uh, where did all our links go to? They decided to disapper? Interesting... I need make up brushes.. Decent ones at least. I need more $$... the more I make tho, the more taxes get taken out, its sad. Very very very sad. Oh well. I wouldn't care since thats life, but to fund a fucking stupid war, it pisses me off.
Either I should finish my coffee and get dressed.. or I should clean up the house a lil bit.
Friday- work 11-4, go grocery shopping get the house cleaned up.
Saterday - Wes's suspension and house party!
Wensday - wes's bday - we go to the zoo.
Apr 1, 200312:33
Wes didn't go to the price is right, they all got too tired and drove back to our house, and they are all upstairs sleeping as I write this.. by all I mean, Wes, Bret (solja) and two others..
Another question, it seems all of our friends have broken up with their longtime gfs and or bfs... Kinda weird if you ask me... Either way me and Wes are good...happily living in our rad house... we don't have much to complain or fight about... I couldn't imagine being without him... it would be VERY boring. I can't wait till we get married.. weddings are a big ole pain in my ass though.
Mar 31, 200322:56
I have to go to work instead of jury duty. I'd rather go to jury duty... instead.. I need to talk to the payroll clerk, i have some issues that need to be solved. Wes got his tax return, so he gets tattooed next week... I'm happy for him. I need to pay off my debt for that speeding ticket so I can get tattooed and have some $$.. But thats gonna be awhile.
I ended up not cutting hair, but instead got my hair cut by Myrla.. she just evened it out for me, since one side was kinda long... Shes a natural for it, and if she stays in school she will go far. She goes to a paul mitchell school (damn you, rich people!!!)... she seesm to have been taught alot so far... I just wanna finish school and get into a good salon.
Then we went to the mall... where my shows set off alarms, and in Temecula, it seems everyone knows 10 people who work in or around the mall...
Mar 31, 200301:11
Why do i always say I'll cut ppl's hair, but when it comes down to it.. I don't really want too.... I have to be in the mood.. i like cutting, but itsstill a task to be done.
I'm calling in sick saterday.. I get sick pay now, screw me workplace? I screw you, simple as that.
I have jury duty tuesday.. how crappy, but I think I get paid, so uh, not crappy?
Mar 28, 200320:23
I drove a hour today to go to planned parenthood to get my BC pills, and they were CLOSED! Then I drove to my moms house, and hung out with her... she still thinks this war is really about "liberating" the Iraqi people. THEN, I drove to visit my sister at work, and after I told her about my sob story... she told me she still had two packs of pills at home, and then I drove to HER house, and got them. THEN, I drove to krispy kreme donuts and bought an assorted dozen, and then drove home... now we are going to visit trinity500Tera after I get ready.

Mar 28, 200300:57
Today I wnet for a walk, which I haven't done for like years... I need to outside more often... I think thats the problem with alot of adults, we don't play outside enough... even kids nowadays, everyones so scared of thier kids being kidnapped or whatnot, they don't let them go outside... and the parents are too busy making money, they don't go outside with them. Call me old fashioned, but I still think parents, mom or dad should stay at home with the kids when they are young... they are so needy, that daycare just doesn't cut it... I know its hard, and lots of times both parents work just to make ends meet.. but people like my sister... she doesn't need to work, her husband makes good money (60K a year, twice as much as me and wes put together almost) but they don't know how to spend their $$ and she ends up having to work and my mom takes care of her kid when she could just stay at home and not have her shitty job.
Mar 27, 200313:34
Ugh.... I was outside pulling weeds until I started to itch and got sick of being poked by all the spikey things out there... I got a lil bits done... it is seriously a damned jungle out there... this house was vacant for 4 months or so? It must have been longer because some of the weeds are 5 feet tall.
On a happy note.. I cut Racheals hair and she paid me 40$... so that goes towards my paying off my speeding ticket.. now I think I'm gonna go make a list of things I need for my wedding for my mom and dad... weddings aren't fun, they are stressful... I should be looking forward ro all this, but both and me and wes are just getting stressed out. I want to finish my school ASAP.. but I think I need to wait till january after my wedding and xmas... And then I can leave Costco and finding a job that doesn't chip away at my soul so much.
Mar 26, 200300:51
Argh.. for the first time since working at Costco for a year now, did I seriously get angry with one of my bosses... I'm a very easy going employee, I'll do what my boss asks because its my job, but I don't have very nit picky bosses generally, but the boss in the food court just finally got to me... he told me not to unroll my coins and to wait till I'm out, before I do, which I personally hate doing, because the customers hate getting 80 cents in dimes, and i hate giving it to them... this isn't a costco policy, its just Greg's whim.. which means jack shit to me. So I tried to politely explain why I open my coin before running out, and he said he didn't like to count all my coin and he was messing up on counting it... uh, they pay you 18$ an hour and you can't count 5 drawers accuratly? Um, thats a YOU problem. So I STILL try and explain, that if I'm on a regester for 5 hours, I should be comfortable over your 5 minutes of counting... He was like "you will do it this way." Allright, fuck that, don't be an asshole to me like that.. I'll make a point to get more coin, more bills no bundling any of my money, and generally pissing my boss off just because I can be an asshole when people treat me with no respect.
Its people who act like that that drive me crazy... the people who'll spend 4K on lifting their trucks, who drink, but think smoking pot is evil and they go to church, on wensdays and sundays... and listen to booty rap.. I don't get it!!! Help!!!
Oh well, I'll juts go back to my old department and get non closing shifts again, because closing 5 nights a week sucks ass.
Mar 24, 200315:44
My house smells like paint or something, I dunno why because it is making me sick.. it would be better if it smelled like food. We went to visit Marc and Stephanie in their new apartment last night, which was super cute, its down in PB, off of Garnet and its built in the 50's... and it even had a lil backyard. Saddest thing? They are going to tear it down in 7 months to build condos, which totally sucks.
I neeeeeeed to go back and finish school so I can have a career that allows me more freedom. Working for costco isn't bad, and I could stay there and have a nice middle class income with good benefits and retirement and if I wanted to move, there would prolly be a Costco nearby and I could transfer, BUT I don't want to sell my soul to Satan and work for that company any longer than I need to. Some people are happy there, but thats mostly the old cashiers who get paid too much for what they do, and have no other skills except eating and complaining, which won't get you too many 40K a year jobs, unless you apply at Costco.
I cut my hair, it looks really good... I tried doing some color, but it came out too dark, and I don't have any $$ or more bleach, so I'll leave it as is. Here, a picture... when are my eggrolls gonna be done cooking??
Mar 20, 200323:43
I need to cut my hair since Myrla is taking too long to do it for me... dammit. :) I might do it tonight if I feel up to it.. I wanna try and put soem red in my hair too... but I dunno what I can get away with at work...
Mar 20, 200311:33
Hey look I found the software I was desperatly searching for months ago when my computer broke down. it was UNDER my computer desk, how the hell it managed to get there, I dunno... Well, at least I knew I hadn't thrown it away. And as you can see, we found the web cam software. Whoa, my hair is NOT hot when I wake up.... and I tamed it before I can downstairs even.
Mar 19, 200323:44
My teeth are still doing good... I finished unpacking the last of the boxes and putting everything away which was nice... made dinner for wes's parents who gave us the rest of the money needed for our wedding chapel... and I got wes's prescriptions so he doesn't die of asthma... AND managed to give away the rest of my weed to Crystal since I decided I need to smoke alot less, I've had a horrible cough and I've been lazy so I ended up being MORE stressed out because I don't get anything I need to do done.
I got my speeding ticket in the mail, its stupid huge.. but I'll just drain my savings and be broke for awhile, but I'll be able to get through this.
Mar 18, 200323:36
So getting my teeth out only took like 3 minutes once the anestesia (how do you spell that word???) set in.. I got to keep my teeth, wes and me are thinking about making them into jewerly... I'm not feeling too much pain, and I only took 400mg ibprofen... the only gross part is that they are still bleeding and my mouth tastes like blood.
Mar 18, 200315:32
I got my teefs out. No problems, they feel fine... I got to keep them too.. :)
Mar 16, 200321:45
We moved all the stuff, and I still have about 6 more boxes to unpack, but thats not much considering almost everything is put back together... I've been too lazy working the last few days to want to look at more unpacking.. I've cold a slight head cold now, and I don't fucking get it.. I'm on antibiotics for me teefs.. and its cleared up the infection (thats why it was so painful).. I get the top ones out tuesday... and I'm gonna leave the bottom ones since they aren't gving me problems till I can get better dental insurance because I'm allready paying 250$ for this. And I'm getting a speeding ticket soon.. and this stupid wedding is a pain in my ass.
I dunno why I'm constantly sick, prolly stress... I have this great tendency to get sick when I'm stressed just adding to the stress of my life. Ugh. Its nothing nyquil can't fix so its okey. I just need to get through this week and everything will be better.
I've decided to smoke MUCH less pot because I don't get anything done when I'm stoned. I still have some left from AZ which I'll keep for the wisdom teef extraction.. mind you, I'm too broke to afford being able to go under, so I'm just gettting local anethesesia... (sp?) which, I'm sure I'll be okey... I've had a billion cavities filled (see my tongue web pics) and the dentist doesn't bother me... neither do paps either I usually am chatty with the doctor while she examines my crotch.. what can I say? I'm not embarrassed by nudity. So if I can get my ribs tattooed, I can for sure get my wisdom teeth pulled without being knocked out. Its not going to be fun, but its gotta be done.
Mar 12, 200313:26
I get to go to the dentist today, as long as they get my insurance okey'd.. I gave my dental office the # I called... since I called yesterday and got a list of providers and the rate for how much its gonna cost me. Hopefully I can just make payments.. stupid expensive dental work.. stupid costco for screwing me UP the ass. I hate them both!!!
Oh and sorry for not chatting at the BBQ, I was too debilitated to do anything but smoke lots of weed, because thats about the only way I was able to feel better... got rid of the nasuea and blocked out the pain..
Tonite I guess we are supposed to be moving?? Allrighty sure as long as I don't have to do too much... I'll get my wrist brace (gawd I am FALLING apart.)
Mar 10, 200312:28
Fuckin' fuck. My teeth are in horrible agony. I called and got a list of my docters in my area.. and found out my dental plan only covers 60%.. so I could be stuck with a 1000$ bill. I passed my one year, so I think I have the option to switch my plan... which I'm going to go to my work and find out.... after my tea cools down and I take my T3... I can't eat anything but soup. I have no $$ and I'm short on hours a-fucking-gain.
I spent most the time in AZ taking various painkillers.. vicoden being the best since it didn't knock my ass out like the darvaset... which works, but it knocked me out. Most the medicine makes me not want to eat and of course made me naseaus.. so I smoked weed, which isn't good for my throat but helped the pain and nasuea My mouth is swollen to all hell. Yeah this is one of the worst physical pains I've had.. I took out my tongue web since I'll have to remove it anyways, fucking doctors... I'll just have it repierced after my mouth heals.
Fuck. This fucking sucks.
Mar 7, 200314:09
Wes is gonna do a lil tattoo for me before we leave, 3 days off without doing dishes at work will be better for healing. I can't believe I got tricked into buying weed. Heh. Oh well, I guess I should pay at least once since I've never ever paid for weed in my life.
My tummy says happy food time, but my mouth can't decide what would be good.
Mar 6, 200310:41
My wisdom teeth decided to move again last night.. all 4 of them. Owwww.
I don't wanna go to work, can't I just stay home?
Mar 5, 200314:11
I packed 3 more boxes and took down all the shit on our walls except for the monster and mortimor and the steel picture... those are just huge and theres nor real reason too.. we need a shitload more boxes... I'm excited to get outta this place but moving is always such a pain in the ass.
I think I get more than I need of my daily dose of calcium because I swear I eat antacids like candy some days when my heartburn just won't quit. Coffee makes it worse, but I can't stop drinking it.. I need to switch to tea... my tummy hates me now.
Mar 4, 200301:37
I need sleep, but I need food before sleep. I had my one year review at work... it went better than I thought, my bosses like me pretty much because I do exactly what they ask without being all "why do I have to do it?" shit, its your JOB, not its "happy fun playtime".. thats why they call it work, not fun, or better yet sleep.
Saterday was fun... good jump up set after the crappy hardcore was over.. well hardcore isn't that bad, but the people that like it are. Hardcores way too tough for kids to wear SHITLOADS of candy too... I don't get that part... anyone wanna clarify?
I'm excited to go on this road trip with our freinds.. I mean me and wes have been to AZ together and all, but it'll be really fun to go with our friends this time... 3 days off outta here is just what you need.
My navel was starting to look and feel like flamey death navel, so i put my buffalo horn piece back in.. it was feeling fine, and then it got uber pissed off.. stupid navel.. why is it some piercings can be 5 years old and give you so much crap.
I got a letter from a collection agency saying I owe some random hospital 25.00$... WTF? I can only think of this one time I went to the ER waited 3 hours puking non stop, then left because I wasn't being helped.. went home, smoked weed and went to sleep... thats the only thing I can think of.. if they sent me a bill after getting my info.. but I never stayed for treatment, those fucks I'm gonna call them wensday.
Mar 1, 200300:02
Its boring being home with nothing to do. Except eat food.. I ate all my ginger sap cookies, I'm sad and the roof of my mouth is sore from burning it on pizza.. i seem to do that almost everytime I eat a pizza. My scedula is fixed at work.. now I just have to get ready to move in 2 weeks. Fucking fuck. I hate moving. But I hate bugs more.
Feb 28, 200313:04
I wrote an entry about how my work fucked up my scedule and gave me 16 hours when I requested 3 days off, and got 5 instead w/out my vacation hours put in... but I erased it oops.... well, thats the story, it makes me all stressed out when I don't think my paychecks will be big enough to cover the bills. Even thouh they always are.. but still.. you know? I always have at least 100$ extra in my checking and 350$ in savings for bills... but I have this great fear of not being able to pay my bills.... thats prolly my biggest fear, and I know its not the worst thing that can happen.. even being homeless isn't the worst, some home situations are far worse than homelessness... But for some reasonit freaks me ou because I work so damned hard to keep my good credit.
Feb 27, 200314:25
I bought a printer and some new CD-r's.. the printer is of okey quality, but for 60$ I won't complain. They had a sale... 6$ for 30cd's, I bought 3.. I should go and buy sommore... but I only have 8$ left.
Feb 26, 200317:00
I woke up at 5:30am needing to puke... the worst part about the pill.. I had to take 2 pills since I forgot one, and it made me sick even when I was sleeping.... I was puking japanese cucumber salad.. rice viniger is REALLY nasty coming back up. And I puked right away after reacing the porcelin god.. which doesn't usually happen... ugh.
On the other hand. I went thrift shopping today and all the stores I went to were having half off sales. Half off thrift store prices. And only one shirt I bought didn't fit. I may go back again tommarrow since I still have a lil $$ and I saw a few more shirts.
Feb 26, 200300:46
My tongue web is feeling just fine, but my navel fucking hates me and is all sore. Ugh, I don't get it.
Tomarrow, redye hair and go thrift shopping.
Feb 24, 200316:31
I hate doing normal hair color, its evil and unpredictable... I did charllottes hair again, using a color remover, which well, it didn't fully remove the color, but made it even, and a decent shade of auburn... now I hope the bleach will highlight it and not turn it back to black (modulat reverses oxidation, but leaves the color in sometimes without being able to see it)...
My pics got posted to bme extreme... they all got labeled 8ga because I submitted one of the 8ga.. and the rest were 2ga..

Feb 23, 200320:31
so anyways.. me and wes done to the shop, and wes got a nice pair of earweights and Dave pierced my tongue web.. It was nice as easy, not like the first time.. my tongue feels really good.. its a lil sore, but not really much, I can eat and talk just fine, which is good since I have to talk all day to customers at work.
I told dave I'd write an experiance for BME... but right now I just wanna take a bath.
Feb 22, 200313:11
My tummy constantly bothers me... I know my medicine makes it. Ugh. I have to work today, but only for 5 hours, and its a closing shift. I don't mind, especially since closing is only till 7:30pm. How sweet is that??
Both me and wes have money- its a miracle... so the plan tonite is to go and get pierced. I want my tongue web done... (Another I've wanted forever.. I had it done once when I was 18 but it was crooked so I took it out.).. and Briana is coming over.. shes so hot.... mmmmm.....
Feb 20, 200323:10
I did all the laundry by myself. The laundromat is convient. Then me and Wes went out for a nice dinner at Black Angus, it was nice.. we set up our wedding invite list, and I think we gots it covered. Everyone can come to the reception.. but the wedding is limited to 50 people.
I also put down most the deposit today on the wedding site. I owe 200$ but thats it actually... In a way I'm excited, but in another way I'll be more than happy when its all over, you know? I'm glad I'm going the easy route and doing Vegas.
Feb 20, 200313:30
-Perfect- You're the perfect girlfriend. Which means you're rare or that you cheated :P You're the kind of chick that can hang out with your boyfriend's friends and be silly. You don't care about presents or about going to fancy placed. Hell, just hang out. You're just happy being around your boyfriend.
Funny.. my inner labia piercings rock.. but now I'm out in the food court at work and I can't wear earrings at all. Oh well.. my amber plugs are gonna go in my labia instead. I'm gonna wait a bit and try to stretch in the bathtub.. that seems to work. I got my 8ga ring in my belly in the bath tub.. its too bad I'm wearing lightweight jewerly in my labia now, a pair of glass plugs, which I'm convinced are smaller than 2ga, almost a 3ga really... wes needs batterys for his fancy schmancy digital calipers to measure acuratly. (that has to be spelled wrong). Those amber plugs are 2's... or 1's really... organic jewerly just isn't all that accurate... with a mean flare that wouldn't go in my ears, which HATE stretching anyways....
My goal in my navel is to get my 4ga water buffalo horn in it... and I'll prolly keep it there for years... it would be hot... I used to wear this huge bling bling piece for about 2-3 years in it... I'm gonna submit more pics to bme...
In my boring life today is laundry day and if I can find enough $$ I'm gonna go to the laundry mat since I fucking HATE sitting and waiting for 8 hours at his parents.

obligatory bodmod post
What the hell? My ears, they fucking hate me. They don't like stretching whatsoever. my second holes get pissed if I put 12ga's in them.. they were pierced at 12ga for chrissakes! Ohhh, but my labia? I have really stretchy genital tissue, I knew that before getting pierced... I just put a 4ga in one side because the 6ga jewerly diameter for one of the rings was making me fucking crazy. And of course, it slides right in like its NOTHING. No challenge... :)
I want more genital piercings since my body seems to actually like healing them.. my body hates my ears, nipples and mouth. Likes my genitals and nose. I guess that makes sense. I want to stretch my navel to a 4ga and I like my septum at a 10ga.. anything bigger is too much for my face.

I always need to take a bath after working. That place is awful.

lovey-dovey barf
I want Wes to come home, I miss him even if hes prolly not more than 100 yards from me at the neighbors house. I looked through his picture gallery on his page. Hes totally adorable and doesn't even know it.
Eh, thats prolly a good thing I've dated guys who think they are hot stuff and I just want to slap them.
Wes is just great, hes totally adorable, funny as hell (anyone who reads his diary or knows him knows that) and super smart... has great stories to tell, and and is very mature (you know how hard this is to find a mature guy my age???). We've been living together now for a year now officially.. weird how things work out.. we have our differences, but we don't fight really, its not realy worth it, we tend to work out any disagreements because we really respect eachothers feelings and don't try to change eachother.
Yeah! hes home!
Feb 16, 200322:53
I added a gallery of photos I've taken. The one thing I like about the photos I take is they uh, you know, don't all look the same.
I finally start in consessions in Costco wendsday. FUCK the front end. The customers are ASSHOLES. The complain just to here their own voices. I want to be behind a counter where I can run in the back and not be literally surrounded my so many unknown people I feel like I'm gonna pass out. I hated crowds in high school and I hate crowds in Costco. When I walk around the store to take go-backs or clean up the aisles people act they don't have to move outta your way if you are an employee.. funny (we don't have uniforms mind you) if I take off my name tag and people just think I'm shopping they are more than happy to move if I say "excuse me" "oh sorry, am I in your way?" not "Well I GUESS I'll move even though I have two kids and a full cart!"
Fuck. Lemme give you some advice - stop breeding you assholes. I'm going to adopt, there are far too many kids in this world allready. Its not that hard to prevent pregnancy I've managed to do it for 8 years, why can't you?? I've always used some form of birth control.. its REALLY not hard, if you can't figure that out how do you expect to raise a child???? Argh!!!
Feb 14, 200323:27
Sucka ass suckas
I used turbo tax and I have my tax return allready deposted in my back account. You guys haven't even touched your taxes yet. I'm gonna pay for my wedding with this $$.
Sucka.
Feb 14, 200322:27
dirty little secrets
i miss taking lots of photos... i need to take more pcitures and making more art like I used to.
Feb 14, 200313:51
family, weddings and destiny.
I just saw my big fat greek wedding, it was a really good movie. I was relating very well to it considering I'm getting married in october and allthough I'm not from a traditional greek or any certain culture family... most of us who are visibly modded with normal parents and families feel the same way.
It gets me thinking alot about family, and about escaping your destiny.
My family is mid size... my father side has basically no one. My father has one brother who never had kids, and is married to a wife who was 20 years older than him and was done with the baby thing by the time they got married. My dad's mom died before I was born of complications from diabetes, which my dads brother, Jim, also has. My dads father died a few years ago at the age of 78, he died in his sleep one night. My uncle Jim, and his wife Jean are very sweet people, I definatlylike them alot, its a shame they live in FL and I don't get to see them much at all.
My moms side on the other hand.... shes the oldest of 4 kids, she has one younger brother, and 2 younger half sisters. My grandma is pretty evil. She didn't let my mom see her father after they got divorced... the last time she got to see him was when he died of brain cancer in her early twenties (again, before I was born). She remarried to this creepy guy, had 2 more kids (my aunt tracee and aunt leslee) then divorced, but not before he managed to molest my mom for years. She remarried once again to my grandpa, who I am close to, I like him alot, hes easy to talk to, and sometimes I feel sorry for him trying to put up with my grandma all these years. Despite my tattoos and all that ish, I will never be the black sheep, I have two other cousins to do that for me. My moms brother, Craig, married my aunt Marla, who was, and still is an alcoholic, (shes taken up smoking pot with my cousin more now tho).. my grandma didn't approve, funny since shes an alcoholic herself who used to beat the kids, you'd think they'd have something in common? They have 3 kids, Alisa, who is my age, Carissa, 2 years younger (we are close, shes one of my best freinds) and Cory whos 14 now. Alisa takes the cake as black sheep. She was gothic in JH, and then progressed from a alcoholic to a heroin addict. In and out of rehab, jail and the streets. Shes off drugs, for now at least.
My aunt leslee is married to my annoying uncle Craig who is overweight and is always complaining of a headache. Shes got 3 kids, Nick, the evil child (ADD, kicked outta 2 preschools for biting kids... snotty lil shit, now 18 and in continuation school) Christian who a year older than his sis Abby who I think is adorabley cute and I think 7 or 8. I adore abby, christian I can give or take tho. And finally my Aunt tracee who I guess just gave up on her marriage and got divorced from her husband who was a nice rich guy, but had trouble expressing himself... Tracee, super talkative, social butterfly (youngest of the kids) and Phil who was just a quiet guy. Tracee has 2 daughters, Morgan and Britney.. they are cute girls, Britneys 14 I think now, and Morgans 12... They play soccer and are really good at it. Tracee is happy on metabolife and living the life of the divorcee with her bf Dana (shitty name for a guy)...
My grandma... evil, why you say? Not just alcoholic, but likes to start fights between her kids. She doesn't talk to Craig and Marla, nor the kids, and they don't talk to her. I'm the one they talk to the most... so most news filters in from me... My mom has stopped talking to my aunt Tracee for 2 years over stuff my grandma has said.. it goes on all the time. Sad to say, but when she dies, the family might actually start acting like a family.
My parents.. they are pretty normal... my dad owns a business selling pro audio equiptment and my mom is ER nurse. The only weird thing? My dad smokes alot of pot and my mom smokes a lil. They've been divroced since I was 10... they never fought much, he just cheated on her and wanted her to stay at home and not have a career.. so she said see ya. I have one of those perfect older sisters. ugh. You know the blond ex cheerleader who marries a accountant and has perfect babies. Yeah, thats my sister. Never had pink hair, never pierced her nipples, never brought home tattooed boys, never dated ex druggies, never had freinds who did drugs, drives an suv, and lives in Orange County. Me? Well, you know. I started dyeing my hair funny colors when I was 13... and told them I wanted tattoos, and got my nipples pierced on my 18th bday much to my mom & sisters shock. Brought home Wes, then moved in with him, then told them we were getting married. They like wes alot, they know he treats me extremely well, but they think I need to marry someone who will "take care of me" financially... (like my sisters hubby). I point out to my mom, "do you think Wes's mom asks me, will you be able to take care of my son?" And she reply's "No, I guess not." Then I point out to her- "you of all people tought me I don't need a man to take care of me."
My fiance may not make 65K a year, but he more than his fair share of hookups. We get so much stuff for free and discounted... and we go places where the admission isn't paid in money, instead its all who you know. Of course my family would love me turn "normal" one day, but thats not my destiny no matter what they think, your dna and family aren't the absolute. If you find love, and live a life that makes you happy and complete, follow it.
Feb 13, 200323:56
I finally bought a card for my camara holy shit this thing can hold alotttta pictures. 200 on the super huge good mode, or 797 (800-freaking-pictures) on the not-so-super-huge good mode.
I took a picture of some of the color work I got started on my tattoo... I can't wait till its finished.. only problem? I don't have any cash. I need to pay for a wedding come october, but I want my tattoo finished at least before then.
Feb 13, 200313:00
Go me. I finished my errands today by 1pm... I was up before 9am, so that prolly did it. I'm juts gonna lie to my docter and say I need an mri of my wrist, 4 weeks of no lifting isn't going to cure my rist I know that, we allready tried that before. It was okey for a week then it went back to normal.. stupid wrist.
Feb 12, 200313:43
WTF is up with my tummy???? Its been bothering me for the past two days. Better yet, WTF did I eat??? Heh. I'm gonna go and eat waht I ate again prolly... artichoke or a hamburger... atrichoke.. hambuger sounds too time consuming. I hate going out in the rain. I don't mind when it rains but I hate running errands in the rain.
I bought a suicide girls membership, Wes tricked me when I was stoned. I tend to spend $$ when I get high, I'm SUCH a sucker. Those girls are FUCKING hot. I wanna be a suicide girl, but I don't know if I could make it into the site. Wes doesn't want dudes to jerk off to me. Heh, thats kinda gross, but I wouldn't mind people seeing me nekkid, because I'm still one of those people who you can't keep clothes on.
Feb 12, 200313:10
Ah, days off... I still need to go to costco to go shopping though, how fucking lame is that? Argh. I need a flash card for my camara mebbe I will buy one today outta my saving $$ and put it back when I get paid since I planned on buying it next week anyways. The only way I make big purchases well is if I take the $$ out and put it back when I get payed otherwise I';m so stingy I won't buy it at all.
We need a camara I go insane without one.. what a loser. heh.
Feb 11, 200323:06
I'm super tired.. I have three days of much needed rest off. We are moving again in a month or so... into a house, with another couple, basically the same rent.. but its WAY WAY WAY WAY WAY WAY nicer.
I'm waiting for wes to bring me some food.
Feb 11, 200300:13
Ah well. I didn't make the BME cover. :( But I cut my hair tonight and I like it. :)
Feb 9, 200322:07
the bbq was very fun (why am I calling it a bbq, it was a bowling game and eats afterwards in a resturant)... I got to meet about 20 more people I haven't met.. some of the people on there are regulars over at our house (Jeff, Garret, Jill, Tony.. ).
My recent submussion is being considered for the cover of bme hard/extreme. Ha! Never ever thought anything I'd submit would be considered to be a cover image, never enough blood or heavy mods. Its on glider's page.. I'm sure you can figure out which one it is. Wes is in the picture to.. well, at least his hand is.
Feb 7, 200310:40
Argh. My sister flaked on me the other week. My family has come down to visit me one time each since I moved out here... which was 1 year ago.. and into my own apartment which was 7 months ago. Mind you, they only live an hour away. An hour that I used to drive two times a day when I was still working out there. I'm fully justified in being upset at my sister for not driving to visit me, calling me and saying shes sick, and then calling me later that day to tell me shes out shopping. Today my mom tried to pull the same shit, excpet saying my neice had a stuffy nose and it'd be better for me to drive out there. HULLO, the fucking place we are going to is a half hour from my house. The drive from your house would be 1 hour and a half. Don't be fucking ridiculous. I was like "she has a stuffy nose, she'll be okey driving in a car for an hour." And of course my mom can't really say anything since its true. My dad was supposed to maybe come out for dinner on wensday.. he neve4r called me tuesday to tell me whether it was a go or not. I left him a message wensday, he hasn't called me back. This is why I plan on getting married in Vegas... they want me to get married here, because they want it conveinent for them, not for me and my budget. Fucking assholes.
Oh well my paycheck is not as horrible as it could have been, you know, missing work 3 days last week.
Feb 6, 200315:48
I think I found the place to get married, the hotel and tommarrrow is dress shopping with my mom. Tommarrow shes gonna find out about my cheast piece. Eh.
Feb 5, 200323:24
Today was pleasent. Got some new stuff. I think my tattoo hates me. The brown ink has reacted, and it totally scabbed up. I'm pretty sure I'm having an allergic reation to the ink. I'm gonna go for dark green ink instead when it heals, because most the ink will be gone and I DON'T want it happening again. I'm using wes's old cream he got for his ears, it seems to be working VERY well. Figures, eh?
Feb 4, 200323:06
Dude. People need to go the FUCK away. I'm sick of seeing the same people I didn't invite over at my apartment all day and all night. If this doesn't stop I may end up being a bitch and tell them they have a home, so go to it.
I got my posting at work. I'm going to work in the food court, because the front end sucks. No more lifting for my poor wrists no more 400 people in 200 square feet of space, babies crying, rude cashiers. The nicest thing about costco is that you can switch around alot... I've worked 3 departments so far... photo by far is my fave.
GO home unwanted guests!
Feb 3, 200323:54
Free $$$! I just did my taxes and I'll be getting back aroud 530$ Not bad. Tempting to get tattoos but I really should pay off my credit card... not that I hude debt, but after buying my computer My balance got bigger. I owe about 800$. :P
Feb 2, 200323:43
Argh... my ears are VERY sensitive... tattoo my ribs, pierce my nipples, stretch my septum... whatever.. nothing hurts worse then my earlobes. I don't know why, but thats just how it is. I'm Gonna buy myself a taper and some better jewelry because these plugs aren't quite 2ga... I hate them. Alot. Well, not too much.. they are funny.. they are so damned ugly. I put my buffalo horn spirals back in since I'm not able to afford transition jewerly or my own taper. I like to stretch my own piercings.. but I'd rather someone pierce me.. if I could work up the courage I'd pierce myself too... big needles scare me. And tattoo machines make me sleepy. I like that buzzy noise.
On the other hand I'm now the proud owner of two 8ga inner labia piercings. Which I plan on stretching again when I get the $$. I dunno how big I'll go but I like big jewelry. And lots of it. I want a christina too. Those fuckers were easy I lubed them up, but they just slid right in. They are hot. if you come visit me, Wes will make me show you them. Or you can just look on BME extreme.
Feb 2, 200322:41
Ugh. I need to take some cough medicine.. if I do, i might as well stretch my piercings while I'm all vicoden'd up. I want to put in my 8ga inner labias, and stretch my navel to a 10ga... I'd like to get my amber plugs in, but I doubt that'll happen without a taper.

Jan 30, 200319:31
Wes was on the news yesterday, it was funny shit. I was in the backround, they cut out my answers, but I looked like dooky anyway so its prolly better that way. :)
I tried going to work, but they sent me home thankfully because I sound like crap with this cough. It hurts to cough too thanx to all the previous coughing and tattooing I got done. I can't wait till this chest piece is finished. It looks nice so far, it looks like a painting. :)
Myrla and Wes went to the mall to go and get more dvd's. I hope they come home soon so I can make dinner soon.
Jan 29, 200322:31
Ugh. My cough suck major ass but I'm gonna wait till bedtime to take my medicine. I took 2 doses allready and ended up puking. Its a cough syrup with a mucus loosener (hot!) and vicoden... It makes you sleepy.. and stops your cough. And if you take it before getting tattooed you hardly feel the actual tattooing and just feel the vibrating.
I got more of my chest piece done, most of the green vines and leaves are filled in.. about 2 more hours of work...
Jan 29, 200300:22
Good News : I went to the doctor and got vicoden for my cough and antibiotics. Laundry is done.
Bad news: the check Wes' work gave me to cover the other check that bounced, BOUNCED. Those stupid fuckers. I'm going down there tomarrow and freaking out on them because they don't get it when wes yells, but I can be an UBER PSYCHO bitch when it comes to my $$.
And I get tattooed tomarrow.
Jan 28, 200317:29
And oh yeah. I know IAM is going to be a paid account now, and I don't think thats a bad idea, because its IS expensive to run the site, and its NOT full of annoying pop up ads. And its not owned by an evil corporation. I only feel bad for those who might have trouble paying, but shit, its less $$ than you prolly spent for dinner the other night.
I prolly won't pay only because I do have pics of BME Extreme, and I would LOVE to have a bonus gallery with Wes and/other another hot bme girl. The boy/girl play, and femal erotic body mods are HOT. And I'm not shy. :)
Jan 28, 200317:22
I hate this computer. Its evil. It keeps freezing windows explorer. Speaking of freezing, this house is ALWAYS 20 degrees... I swear its fucking cold in here.The laundry is going tho, so thats the good thing. I think I will go to the docters tommarrow instead of tonite because of the laundry. But I got alot of the other stuff I was supposed to get done, done.
Jan 28, 200312:36
aleve cold and sinus, clears your face and makes you a tweeky housewife.
Argh! Why are my days off chore days instead of hanging out with friends days? I hate being an adult. Stupid adulthood. You get freedome & responsibilty dammit! Anyways. I need to go to the doctor, I'm hacking up the nastiest shiiite ever, so I should go and get some meds before it turns into bronchitis again.
Need to portion the meat and freeze it.
laundry
buy trashbags and bottled water and yummy food from trader joes
convince charlotte to let me take her job hunting
go to urgent care and get meds
download cartoon songs for wes
In a stoned rampage sunday at midnight I cleaned the kitchen, so who says stoners are skeevy losers? Not I!
Need to convince Myrla and Jade to hook up with me and wes. Wes may be the luckiest man alive, but I'm still the luckiest girl.
Don't tell wes yet but I want his last name when we get married.
Me and my mom need to go wedding dress shopping and start planning out where in Vegas.
Jan 27, 200320:24
I should stop smoking so much weed. My lungs feel congested and in the morning I hack up lovely green shiite. Its pleasent.
I get two days off in a row. How fucking sweet is that? Not very for all you asshole who don't have a crappy job and bills. I hate you all! :) At least I can say once you get to know the people from my work they are actually pretty nice. Well, most of them. I think we all know our job is lame so we all have that common thread that we have to pretend to do what they ask (demand whatever.) Racheal made me a CD. Thats sweet of her.
I get tattooed wensday which in a way I'm not too excited about because fuck, its gonna be a my ribs. Owww.
Jan 23, 200314:01
On another note... my cousin gave me her old bong that she wasn't using, its a glass foot and a half one.. Nice, eh'? Well I'd best clean the house and then fix my hair it needs a cut and to be redyed.
Jan 21, 200323:50
My head has been hurting for 5 hours now. Humping made it go away for a few hours, but it fucking sucks my ass now.
Jan 16, 200312:38
Hmm... I think Rachael may have gotten lost, she was supposed to be here... eh, my crappy directions prolly. Ah well, she'll figure it out. I'm hungry, and I've living off frozen pizzas, which I'm not sick of yet....
Jan 15, 200314:02
Mmmm.. sleepy... I was supposed to get tattooed, but Kimmy had to go to AZ today for some car stuff, which is okey because I really didn't want to drive to LA anyways. I'm trying to catch up on sleep from this weekeend with Jill and Wes. I'm still tired from friday night and its Wensday. I cleaned the house except the kitchen which I'll do after I take a nap, today is my only day off this week so I should relax a lil more.
Jan 13, 200322:51
I really hope Wes gets this job because one of his paychecks came back bounced and thats REALLY BAD.
Jan 10, 200313:50
fuck aleve cold and sinus!
Uhhhhuhhh.... Well, Aleve cold and sinus works 12 hours just like it says. but BEWARE if you want to go to sleep. The time released psuedofedrine will keep your ass up all night tweaking. Yeah, I fell asleep for one hour then was up all night till I passed out about 8am after watching the news for a few hours. Cold medicine makes me all spun when I take it.
I have decided I'm gonna take less medicine and just go back to suffering because the side effects of everything I take are too much. I want to get off my celexa, if I take half doses and I start freaking out I'll just keep taking it.. but I'm sick of my tummy feeling like crap everyday. And having a hard time sleeping. The only "medicine" that work to calm my tummy, make my back feel fine, nerves and makes me sleep nice is marijuana, small doses are fine for that, but its when I get too stoned and then I turn into a scatterbrain, which is fine when if thats my goal, but not when I have shit I gotta do. Its not for everyone, but it works for me.
I gotta finish the dishes, and then I'll be done cleaning, then I'll get dressed and go visit Wes at work, I wanna see the super dumb new secretary they replaced Char with.
Jan 9, 200323:11
stupid cold. At least I found medicine without dxm ... I uploaded some new pics that actually look decent. I want to be a suicide girl model. But I dunno if I'd be good enough. And I'd have to find someone to photograph me... damn it all!
Jan 9, 200300:54
Not to put anyone down, but I fucking love my chest piece. I love it because its of my favorite flowers, and it goes with my body shape... I dig the fact that its not a skull, or a rose or a sacred heart, or a spiderwebs, or sparrows, or guns, or anything else damned near every chest piece I see is. Heather, for example (iam : heathacat) has a beautiful chest piece that isn't a traditional design. I like traditional to a point, but when it becomes a fashion trend, and you see people covered with tattoos that normally wouldn't be (ie: its part of fashion trend for whatever subculture), it tends to lose its meaning and value, IMHO.
Jan 8, 200323:48
Argh.. I hate being sick and unable to breathe. I feel like crap, oh well, the flu isn't that bad its do-able, i just need some cold medicine.
random rant: Why is it when I tell people I'm getting married that they ask when I'm gonna have kids? I'm almost 23, and both of us will be 23 when we get married this year.. if I tell people I want to wait like 10 years they look at me like I'm a disgrace to women. WTF? Should having children be my lifes goal as a woman? If I cannot finacially care for children until 10 years from now, wouldn't that be a sensible idea? I don't think its fair to a child to try and raise them when you don't have the finacial means to, or the time to properly care for a child. Like I said to one coworker "What, have kids then go on welfare? Sure sounds like a bright idea!" When I get done paying my bills and I have a total of 5$ left in my bank account, I'm in trouble.
I like kids, but I'm not blind to the fact that raising children is far more stressful than anyone can imagine. Its not like raising a dog, or like babysitting, its a 24hour a day full time job that you NEVER get to quit. I allready have one job that can kiss my ass, I don't need another.
Jan 8, 200320:34
Ugh. Wes has the flu and now I'm starting to get it too... the flu suxor's. My tummy hates me, so everytime I try to eat I get queasy. my nose is drippy and I'm spitting up green crap again. I'm gonna buy so flu medicine without DXM. When I get some cash that is. At least I don't have to work too much in the next 2 days.
I want to play video games... but the game I wanna play is at my sisters house. Damn her. I have a 25$ gift certificate for blockbuster so if I want I can rent something too. stupid drippy nose!!!
Jan 8, 200301:04
Wes is crazy. if I mix DMX and Celexa, it can cause visual hallinations. Um, no thank you. If I want fun swirly stuff I'll take acid. Not bad drug over the counter/prescrption drug interactions. Wes wants to leave me and go on a reality show. Hes no fun. Oh well, I guess that'd be interesting enough.
Jan 6, 200323:58

hmm.. sleepy sleepy time. Heather came and stayed this weekend, which was fun, and cheaper than going out. We got a new futon for the living room, which is nice since we definatly did not have enough room in the living room. Look, new pic of me with my black hair. I llok gross, but whatever. I'm super excited about finishing my cheast piece, I don't thik I'll have any $$ in my next paycheck, but perhaps soon. damn these big expensive tattoos.
Jan 3, 200323:19
Dude. Everything was on sale at the mall. So I went to the gap and got this nice long jacket that was on sale for 19.97$.. I swear this is a nice 80-100$ jacket, and it was in extra small... only one in the the store... a long jean skirt... and this striped turtle neck shirt that was only 7$.. the gap near my house always has alot of stuff on sale in my size so i get lucky. I got three pairs of underwear too... cute bloomer style as well.
I suppose i should put away the laundry, but I REALLY don't want to. But I told wes I would. While hes out getting beers bought for him from Tab.
Jan 3, 200314:18
Dude. I am broke. I'm using the change can for gas. Thats bad. Stupid guy with scooter can fill up his tank with our change can. I got about 5.50$ including the 2$ in my wallet left over from New Years.
Gotta finish the laundry today. Then while Wes is napping I'm gonna go shopping at the mall and spend the rest of my xmas $$ hopefully if the gap has something decent on sale.
Heather is coming tomarrow, weee, visitors yucky I have to work tommarrow. They tried to call me in today, I say FUCK that.
I can't wait to get my cheat piece finished. Chest & rib tattooing sucks, but I've been in way worse pain. Earaches and nasuea will kill me way more than any tattooing work being done.
Damn you laundry!
Jan 1, 200322:53
dude. disneyland was so crowded we couldn't walk, I had been up since 4:45am and was finally over it all at about 10:30pm when I started freaking out and had to leave.
Today wasn't too bad.. slept alot and went to the movies and made stir fry. My ears hate me I JUST want to get them to stretch enough for my amber plugs and i think I'll just leave them at that.
2002
Dec 30, 200220:41
Wee.. I died my hair balck and it looks cute, and I started my chestpiece which is way exciting, tomarrow we are going to dland and all that jazz... I need to pay my rent tomarrow. Ack.
Dec 30, 200201:24
There is the outline I got done tonite for my chest piece. Its well, a rib and chest piece. we are starting with a grey wash outline because its going to be a nice watercolor looking stargazer lily when we are all finished. I took my rib tattooing like a trooper. No squirming except for my feet and a few lil grimaces, but it definatly wasn't too bad. And my elbow hurt for some odd reason, but I guess its normal.
Wes got a SWEET looking catwoman.
Dec 30, 200201:19
see above.
Dec 28, 200211:19
nobody voted in my hair poll. You all SUCK. Anyways, I will be dying my hair tonite after work, then tommarrow I will be going to LA to get tattooed, and today i will be going to work. Gawd, I hope its not insanely busy. Ah well, the holidays are over so it should be better. I need to get my oil changed. Wes is doing tattoos all day and hopefully making enough $$ so he can get tattooed too.
Dec 28, 200201:04
Vote in my hair poll. Please. Pretty Please.
Dec 28, 200200:53
I had a nice xmas, got lots of nice things... weee!
I'm getting tattooed Sunday, starting on my chestpiece.
Me and Wes cleaned the whole apartment today, a cockaroach crawled on my arm and ants attacked the bathroom. Free bugs with every apartment!
Went to SD and visited Dave, brought him real turkey, and he tried to stretch my ears, but they were like FUCK that.. so I got a super ugly pair of plugs, so ugly, they were worth it. They would make you laugh, i should take a pic of them. They are a lil bigger than the ones I had. But still, my Amber plugs will have to wait.
Me making a gross face with Dave at the shop.
Dec 23, 200223:08
I'm getting tattooed sunday. Yeah!
Dec 22, 200221:50
This camara is evil it chose to delete all our xmas party pics when I tried to upload them. I'm just gonna get a card and card reader for my camara. I need one anyways.
Dec 21, 200219:09
Our turkey turned out good, but it really didn't have a whole lotta meat on it really... we made a care-package for Dave (Bodmodboy) since he hasn't had real turkey in awhile, we need to go back down to the shop and I need him to taper my ears to put my new plugs in, they are 2ga amber, but they have a 0ga flair and my ears want nothing to do with them unless I get a taper. What assholes my ears are being. My septum piece went in easily and is way more comfortable than the ring I was wearing for awhile. 10ga black niobium retainer, I'm very happy with it.
The boys are out playing James Bond in the living room, its only 7pm, so the majority of peaple won't be here until 8-9-10pm. Its gonna be happy vicoden time for me tonite. hopefully some hot girls show up for me and Wes to molest.
Dec 21, 200215:01
Allright, if you don't allready know, tonite is our xmas party. Call us if you need directions... IM Wes on AIM at Silentwes.... if you need directions
Dec 21, 200213:20
We sdoesn't want people jerking off to my labia piercings (eeew, who'd do that?) so I won't be putting them up on my page. BUT, I will be sending them to BME. So if you have access to BME E2, you can see 'em. All I will say about that is, I have a unnamed tattoo showing in the pic and I like little boys underwear.
That oh-so sexy pic in my main gallery shows me with no makeup. And no hot angles or special lighting. So eat that motherfluffers. I look better than that pic. I promise. At leats my boobs do.
Dec 20, 200223:56
Tummy, still upset. Better than yesterday, now i just have cramps liek I'm on my period which basically ended yesterday. I don't fucking get it, what the hell is wrong with my body?
Dec 19, 200223:12
Ugh, my tummy is STILL upsetting me. WTF? I went to work and felt like I was gonna pass out, my shoulders and back are in need of a massage. Wes doesn't give massages, damn him.
I'm way excited about our xmas party, it should be very fun. No smoking pot for me though. I think I'm getting way bored with smoking as of late. Its not as though I smoke a whole lot, but I go through periods where I smoke more and then I get bored of it and cut it out for a few months. I think I'm getting to that point again. I'm far too lazy to ever become a drug addict, that would require me to make an effort to do drugs on a daily basis, spend time getting drugs, and spend money. Fuck, I hate just having to go out and get the mail, imagine trying to go and get drugs? And $$? I hate spending $$ to buy myself a new tshirt.
Dec 18, 200211:15
Mt tummy hates me so much. I dunno if it was the coffee I drank but its been cramping and bloated for 12 hours now. I tryed to watch the Two Towers last night and spent half the time in the bathroom, then tried to go to work at 3am to stock after getting off at 8pm the night before, and that didn't work out so I left after an hour 1/2 of working. I slept for about 5 hours only to wake up to more tummy cramping. Argh. I want it to go AWAY.
Dec 15, 200223:20
On a happier note, Our Christmas Party is this Saterday. If you miss it, you will be missing the best xmas party of the the decade. Did you here that, I said decade. Well, unless we throw another one next year.
Dec 15, 200222:22
Wes is a super genius, and he got our CD burner to work again. And he installed our old harddrive but my camara won't work off it still. So I might trade my camara for a a PS2 and we'll get a flash card reader for Wes's camara and so we'll just use that until I can eventually buy a new camara... mines in good shape and everything, but I can't get the software to work. Either way if I got a new one I'd just end up with a better camara.
I cut my hair really short (no camara = no picture) and its a very bright auburn... the color looks really nice... I used just a box red, clairol ultress I think, and I bleached a few spots after that and put a mix of redkens bonfire and papaya over it and it ended up looking really good.
The labia piercings are healing very well. its been two weeks and they are hardly noticable. I'm not longer walking like I've been riding a horse, and they hardly hurt at all. I'm going to stretch to an 8ga after they stop being crusty since the tissue is so stretchy allready.
I'm sick of the 1 hour photo customers who think they are the only people on earth who want christmas cards made, reprints made and their film developed. They can all burn in hell. We are actually there pretty much 24 hours a day doing prints for ungrateful assholes. I hope they die. Die photo customers!
Working retail during the christmas season is no fun. You hate your job too? Well if you are lucky enough not to work a retail job, be thankful. Resturants I'm sure are packed as well. At least all the people in the photo dept are pleasent to work with except for this one bitchy chick who needs an additude adjustment. I'm normally a pretty nice person but if I'm provoked I can be a uber bitch especially if you talk to me like I'm an idiot. Thats my pet peeve. Being talked down to. Unfortunatly being pretty little, and looking younger than my age I get it too often. They only time I don't mind is if I can use it to my advantage. Or if someone says "what are we doing over here?" When they are addressing one person... fuck, we aren't doing anything, I'm doing something and you are bothering me. Like when packing rich bastards groceries and they are super picky about how it goes in their cart (get a clue - pack it yourself if it matters that much) And one of them says to me "what are we doing here?" I'd like to say "WE aren't doing anything, I'm packing your groceries because you are too goddamed lazy to lift those fat, heaving arms of yours to put your own groceries in the cart."
Dec 10, 200213:24
Goodness. I think God was telling me not to be lazy, because IAM hasn't been working for me till right now from last night, and I had to clean up the house because it hasn't been REALLY cleaned since before I was sick. so in my four days off I went to AZ and relaxed, then yesterday I finished my xmas shopping and wrapped all my presents. Ah, thats outta the way, this will be a nice holiday.. except for the shit where I got sick.. it hasn't been too bad, usually this time of the year sucks ass, me and wes are buying eachother jewerly. That should be way easy...
Dec 5, 200223:10
I miss my boyfreind. He makes me laugh more than anyone, I hate when hes gone and I miss him and want him to come soon.. I need to sleep soon. Cause tommarrow we leave and have a nice ass weekend.
Dec 5, 200222:11
My cd burner has gone crazy... its decided not to burn cds right... I know the cd I'm trying to burn wopn't work because its flashing red and not making super loud burning noises. Oh well, I bought it at Costco, I can return it if I want. Ahhh Costco.
Dec 3, 200211:30
hey, you gotta give me props, I cleaned up and now my house isn't a filthy mess. Just needs some more cleaning which I'll do when I get home from work.
Work has actually been a pleasent part of my day the last few weeks, I've been working in the one hour photo part of costco and its really pretty fun. Not so loud, fast paced, but fast paced with a purpose, noty just lifting and stacking heavy things into carts. Its not dirty and its not hot. We don't have uniforms, so I can wear clothes I like, and not just old stuff thats gonna get dirty.
The new piercings are good, still sore, but not bad, genital piercings heal quick, so thats a good thing... I think Wes is less sore than me... but hes gonna have to wait for me. I would like to get more eventually, as in, soon, but I think I'll wait till these heal and till I have money.
I AM totally broke, but I accidently saved up alot of money so I have enough to get by for a while, we most definatly have grocery money and gas money and all the actual essentials, and the extra $$ I have is going to go towards xmas presents so I'll get that outta the way. And my xmas stress shall be gone.
Dec 2, 200223:07
Wes should put the old harddrive in our puter, and put the oven back together, but hes all grumpy from his nap.. he's ALWAYS grumpy for the first hour or so after he wakes up.
Dec 1, 200223:15
weee.... I'm kinda shaky.. but anyways... mebbe its the vicoden, but I have a damned good piercing high, I haven't had a piercing high in a LONG ass time... I haven't been pierced for almost a year but but, I haven't felt like this since I got my nipples pierced the first time. I'm now the proud owner of a pair of 10ga inner labia piercings. Definatly not bad. The piercing was pretty damned painless.. the 2nd pinched a lil more but thats to be expected. Wes did an excellent job, if it wasn't for Wes, I'd have gone to Dave who did Wes's 6ga PA tonite. I'm definalty getting more, I planned on having 4-6, more... and they are done at a placement where I can stretch and add more. My camara software is MIA... so i can't upload any pics.. Tab was the photographer... I don't feel shy about these things.. should I? I dunno...
Nov 28, 200200:06
Ahhhh! Come see me and wes's scrapbook page - http://iam.bmezine.com/scrappy.exe?cmd=pagezoom&page=24
Have a good Thanksgiving!

Nov 26, 200210:59
I need to get off my ass and do something.. but everytime I try I'm caught up but coughing attacks, last nuight I was having trouble breathing till I used one of the inhalers Wes had, which he got from Tony when he was sick.. it helped alot... I just want to be better..
Nov 25, 200220:50
ugh.I thougght I was feeling better, but I guess not, when I try and move around much i have horrible coughing attacks. So, not pleasent. I feel bad because Wes has done the dishes te last few times and I've been super lazy and sick, I've only worked one day in the last week.. I had 3 days off, and I went home sick twice from having lovely coughing attacks. Wes is in LA again, and I haven't gone out in week as well despite wanting to leave the house.. I think Wes took his inhaler with him, and I could most definatly use it right now. And I can't find the mail key... have you seen our mail key?
Nov 25, 200216:29
wee.. I went to my moms hospital, and I got some antibiotics now, and a diagnosis of bronchitis. Swweet huh? Yeah, don't be jealous cause I got a nasty lung infection and you are perfectly healthy.
Nov 24, 200222:41
mindless vicodin rant
Ugh. I can't stand when I read peoples pages on here that act like everyone should be jealous of their hair or boyfreinds or taste in music or tattoos or whatever. When everyother diary entry is "so be jealous" or "my hair is better than yours" and its not like these people are actually joking, they are serious. WTF? You can be happy about your life without having to think its better than everyone elses. You can think your bf is hot without thinking that everyone wants him. Gawd. Have a lil self esteem people. Gawd. I get so annoyed by this additude. All I'd like to say to these people is, nobody wants your bf, I'm not jealous of your hair, or your clothes or tattoos.
I talk shit too, I admit it, and I gossip, but the source of my self esteem isn't based on how much better I think I am than the next person. I don't try and conform to any scene for the sole purpose of finding a sense of belonging. I guess some people have a need to classify themselves or else they would cease to feel popular and loved. Oh whatever.
I told Wes thats one of the reasons I like him, because he isn't into any scene and doesn't act like he needs to be... I like being able to go out with my friends and not looking like carbon copies of eachother. You can actually tell us apart. Its nice.
Nov 24, 200221:33
ugh, I hate being sick, today is worse than yesterday all day I've been hacking up yellow stuff... I tried going to work, but came home after an hour, in which I was having debilitating coughing attacks, and I started crying after they told me I'd have to wait to go home.. fuck that place, it can burn to the ground.
I'm going to my moms hospital tommarrow...
Nov 22, 200222:04
sweet
I went to the docters finally, and he gave me a prescription for vicodin, since my cough sounds like its a viral infection, no antibiotics. The Vicodin seems to work fairly well, my back pain is gone and my cough isn't bad, and I don't feel too fucked up, which unless I'm in the mood to be fucked up, I don't like feeling funny. The Celexa isn't good at night either, i think I'll just stick to the pill at night and Celexa in the morning, and I know the side effects will go away in about a week or so... the celexa gave me weird dreams, and made me extra sick, nd I woke up at 2:30 to 3:30 trying to go back to sleep feeling all fucked up and weirded out, I woke wes up, and all he said was "what am I supposed to do about it?" Then proceeded to fall back alseep. Hes out with his freinds and I'm lonely at home, but I needed to go to the doctors. We found a home for the kitty so thats good.
Nov 22, 200214:03
I suppose I should go to the doctors, but I need to go to urgent care, and I need to get approval from my doctors office first, stupid insurance, but I don't want to, at least i was able to get outta work, (I should have called in sick) Wes wants me to clean the house, and I just want to rest and try and go to sleep.
Nov 22, 200210:18
fuck this crap. I hate being sick. I hate feeling both naseua and having a horrible cough whilst hacking up nasty shit. I have to go to work, but I'm gonna try and get outta it when I get there. I won't call in sick until I'm dead. Or have been there 1 year. Whichever comes first.
Nov 21, 200212:13
ugh.. I'm all sore today, but no longer achy. my tummy muscles hurt from puking but smoking fixed that right up. I took my celexa last night and it helps with the nasuea... I finally ate a bowl of cereal, and I should clean up the house but I hardly still feel like moving.
Nov 21, 200201:17
ugh, I started puking and basically couldn't stop until I figured out that smoking pot would help me sleep, give me an appetite and get rid of the naseua, well, it did. And people somehow still don't think medical marijuana is a good thing.being dehydrated, and not being able to keep down water, and not being able to sleep is worse. I know I;ll fine better tomarrow and I feel good enough to go to work friday.
Wes is right, I can't believe its been a whole year that we've been together now, and by xmas last year I wasn't sure we'd be together at New Years... but after a rough lil start there everything is good. We'll be married this time next year. Alot of people at work call him my husband anyways, funny.
I look at pictures froma year ago and its just odd... I always tend to do that with pictures, emotions always come flooding back from when the pictures were taken. Its like when people smell something that reminds them of a specific memory. Pictures and letters do that to me just as vividly.... I still have all my letters from high school & even junior high, I still have a few letters I need to organize, but in general, 98% of my letters are organized in a folder, its almost like a diary of your life from someone elses perspective...
Nov 20, 200211:13
barf
I HATE being sick.. yesterday it started and now I'm full of body aches and a sore throat, its the worst feeling in the world being sick with the flu. I could have got free flu shots at my work a few days ago and I didn't, ironic, eh? Either way, I have 2 days off in a row which I shall spend being sick and laying around, taking baths and trying to find something to eat.. when I'm sick, food tastes gross to me so I hardly eat, I usually want to eat things like fresh fruit and drink gaterade... I dunno...
I have a back pad on that I got free with girl items, so it helps my horrible back pain.speaking of medication... I hope wes isn't taking too much, the only one he takes regularly in the allegra... I allready take othro-tricyclenand I started celexa a month ago or so.. and the side effects of celexa are similar to the birth control with the nasuea, so I'm gonna start taking it at bedtime like the pill, so hopefully that helps, it lowers my appetite with the nasuea too, so I haven't been eating as much... normally I prolly eat more than Wes. Either way, the celexa helps alot, I take a very small dosage, of 10mg, which is pretty much a kids dose, and it balances me out so I don't get nearly as emotional or moody, funny how it works.
Nov 16, 200219:06
we could be sisters
Wow! I finally got a new computer... its pretty damned awesome.. Jeff built it for us. Hes entirely too polite. A Very Nice guy. Most of Wes's freinds are pretty nice and well mannered, but Jeff is super nice. Either way, we have a cheap, (500$ total) and fast computer its got windows xp which I'm still getting used to.
Either way, thats all for now.
Nov 4, 200221:12
Why is this room so cold? I suppose I should order a computer since mine ain't gonna be fixed anytime soon. We got a cat. Wes gave me a few tattoos. The best is the manly tattoo we both have now. brrr...
Oct 20, 200221:59
Needless to say, my keyboard STILL isn't working. I don't get it.
Oct 7, 200213:58
urgh.. I don't wanna go to work today. Oh well, its 6 hours working the door which is pretty easy.. but some customers are DUMB and make me want to stab them in the face.
Wes is bringing home a metal desk for his tattoo stuff. He needs to get the gyno table soon too. We need a two bedroom apartment.
What the hell is "bi-sexual"? There is no hyphon in bisexual, its just plain bisexual, not Bi-Sexual. I can't spell all that great, (but not all that bad) but I can spell that.
Oct 6, 200222:39
bad things happen to good people
My sister was admitted into the hospital yesterday, her water broke, the problem? Shes 8weeks from her due date. Shes had 2 misscarriages and everything has been fine until now. Shes either going to go into labor on her own in the next two weeks or they will induce. Her baby is a girl who is 3 1/2 lbs and from what the doctors can tell, shes very healthy... my sister had problems when she was 16, and has gone through surgery, and had cervical coning done, and has had abnormal paps. It just isn't fair that some people who wants kids, who can afford to have them and would make good parenst have to have such problems, and people who smoke crack end up having kids who grow up to break into your house and steal your shit.
Through her whole pregancy I worried about her and hoped she'd just make it to the end without anything happening, so she could just deliver a normal healthy baby, and then something like this has to happen... it just makes me mad and makes me worry about if her baby will be healthy when she delivers... the baby is head down and shes got a good kick (I got to feel it last time I was at my sisters house)... I just hope everything turns out okey when her baby is born because its just too much grief for someone to have to go through.
Oct 4, 200201:18
Girls are catty. My bf doesn't quite understand that concept, guys are different in the fact that they can get in fist fights with one another but be okay with it 5 minutes later. I read some people diaries and just "can't look away" from the horror. Some guys can be bad, but its mostly the girls who I'm just like "do you realize how awful you comeoff sounding?" Its like, you aren't a celebrity, don't act like one. Nobody wants your picture, nobody wants your autograph. 2 years from now you'll have moved onto another music trend, another scene, and if your lucky, you can get your tattoos covered up. Prenentiousness is basically the most gawd-awful personality trait. People who act like they'd rather be somewhere else, looking as bored as possible. Argh. Shit, I know you just want to be seen, at that show, at that club, wearing those clothes, with those people. I guess people never really grow outta highschoolish status wars, they just move onto some other scene.
Oct 1, 200212:58
Stupid Wes, hes good at everything, kinda makes you sick, huh? Anyways, he discovered hes excellent at shading. That nice watercolor looking shading that Kari Barba, Cat Spencer and other really good tattoo artists are known for. Soooooo.. we are going to do a piece on my ribs with negative space images and shading. I'm thrilled.
Sep 29, 200200:44
Wes thinks I hate him all the time, and all the time he also thinks I hate his freinds, it couldn't be further from the truth. When things feel bad I can't help but look mad because lots of times I'm frustrated by a situation and its easier to look mad than start crying in front of everyone.
And I don't know why its more common at night, and I don't know why I always want to be off work ASAP, but when I get home things usually feel the same till I go to sleep, have disturbing dreams and then wake up, & go to work.
Sep 27, 200223:41
yay for jewerly
We both had this friday off so we ended up going to San Deigo, first we went to visit Dave and I got new jewerly, unfortunatly, they had to be sold in pairs, but I'll use them as earrings for my second holes when I'm done with it in my navel... Then we went to Hillcrest where I bought a necklace and 2 new hamkerchiefs or my head, because I never have enough. I'm really impressed with organice jewerly now that I own some.. who knows, maybe my nipples would have healed with organics of some sort if I'd known my body would react so well to them.
And everyone keeps making the "are you going bowling?" comment when I have my wrist brace on.
Sep 25, 200214:18
I got free money from the gov't, a 10$ check and a letter saying they owed me more than they thought. Fuckers owe me alot more than that, but in the mean time, I'll try and get student grants and rip you off as much as I can. We sure have a shitload of laundry. We tend to wait till we have no chonies left and then do our laundry. If I were rich I'd go to the laundrymat and get all done in 1 hour. But I'm not... (empties pockets only pulling out lint)
Anyone know what kinda plant food will make our babmboo plant grow? Because it certianly isn't the kinda that grows a foot a day, instead its the kind that itty bitty ants live in. I mean itty bitty, smaller and CUTER than normal. I love little cute bugs.. ants, as long as they aren't swarming in a box of my cereal are cute.
Wes needs to buy a metal roolabout for his tattoo equiptment because I would like to eat at the kitchen table again.
Sep 24, 200200:28
Well, well, Inkslingers was fun, I bought lots of stuff saterday, including those 4ga water buffulo pieces for my ears which slid in rather easily, which was suprising and good. I would like toget an organic piece for my navel as well.. I'm rather fond of organic jewelry, or big cheezy gemstone jewelry... don't ask me why...
Wes is learning to tattoo and since most people who don't live with Wes don't understand how smart he is, lemme tell you, hes fucking ridiculously smart. He intimidates alot of people including me... I think he'll end a damn good tattoo artist after a bit of practice.
I finally went to the doctor about my left hand... I got a brace and some anti-inflammitories... weee work related injuries are great.
Sep 22, 200211:04
Sep 22, 200200:42
I can't have one day just go okay. Something always has to happen and ruin it.
I hate conflict, but I hate feeling pressured into doing things I don't feel comfortable with alot more. I will end up fighting and being more hostile than I would like to be if anyone tries to pressure me into doings things. I guess its not the worst personality trait to live with, I don't ever feel pressured without being able to say no to things that alot of people, esp.. girls have trouble saying no to. But then again I can come off like a bitch having to tell someone no if they start to bother me.
I think Im gonna go soak in the tub and try to read a bit to take my mind off of things because the anxiety is starting to get to me.
Sep 20, 200201:21
weeee... I get paid tomarrow.

Ugh. I feel fat. I gain 15lbs since November... thats alot for me... 15% of my total body weight.. I'm 5'2" and pretty petite (allthough I don't notice this really until people point it out)... ugh. I know I'm not fat, but its irritating when I see everyone else around me with better bodies. I NEVER had cellulite on my ass or legs until this year, the one thing I can say has improved over all is my skin looks really good, and my boobs, well, they gained weight too, and they look good. The pictures in my piercing department are about 2 sizes smaller than what I wear now.. At least my tattoos look nice, the one on my lower back is 2 1/2 years old and has never been touched up after it was initially done.
Sep 16, 200223:06
I was writing an entry about how much I hate my hair, but I closed the browser accidently... oh well, I hate my hair, and I hate people more than I hate my hair. I want to stab them all in the face. I hate working with people, the customers are one thing, THEY pay me to be nice to them, but the employees, they don't pay me to be nice to my fellow workers. Most people at Costco are unaware of sarcasm. I dunno if they are just old, bitter and divorced (the majority of cashiers I work with) or they are just plain stupid (the majority of cashiers I work with).
I don't ever want to hear "I've worked here for a while now, I know what I'm doing!" from anyone whos been there for "a while" and still has not a clue what they are doing. I'm absolutly appalled by some peoples lack of knowledge about a job they think they "know what they are doing" because they have worked it for 10 years. You work at a grocery store. You are a cashier who gets paid too much money for your inability to learn, follow and apapt to new standards. You are not saving lives for christsakes.
I don't like it when a business doesn't run itself efficently, & where everyone in charge isn't on the same goddam page.
Nothing makes me more irritated than managers who can't all get together and follow the same rules, and people who do half ass jobs and think they know everything because they have worked for a company for "a while". I ask alot of questions at my work... I don't get enough time to ask the 100's of questions I have each day that come up, and unfortunatly or rather ironically, alot of people I ask, who SHOULD be experts since they have worked in that dept for awhile often say "I don't know?" Argh. Its frustrating working a job where everyone around you is burntout, stupid, or just plain irritating.
Sep 15, 200223:55
so anyways... Wes is finally falling asleep, he napped from 6-8pm and thats really it. To anyone who thinks anything stupid - alot of legal medications have similar and cheaper illegal counterparts, and sometimes, the illegals are more effective (in the case of marijuana for alot of things), and sometimes our gov't doesn't do enough to provide healthcare for its citizens. Don't be small minded and say "but its a drug!", what the hell do you think you are going to get from the hospital? The fancy 500$ version of the same thing. I say, do what works, who cares what is "legal" because your goddam well being is more important.
Either way, he wasn't coughing all night and feeling like his throat was going to close in on him. And on top of that he was very sweet and very open, we haven't talked like that for a long time. I miss Wes everyminute we aren't together, I feel as though my right arm is missing.
I need a vacation. And a better haircut.
Sep 14, 200223:25
char - don't read, its sex talk.
Good lord, my neighbors literally fuck 3-4 times a day very loudly, I have never known anyone to fuck that much and that loudly. And thst just the times I hear them... this girl screams... it sounds so aweful, no one can seriously be that loud and enjoying it that much. But who knows, I have some odd backdoor fetish. Wes is a very lucky guy, how many guys have gf's who WANT and really get pleasure from that? Heh. And on top of that, I dig chicks.
And I told you not to read this if you read this.
Sep 14, 200200:34
So I finally read JTHM, I don't usually read Wes's comics because he usually doesn't have full collections and I would have to start in the middle and I wouldn't know WHAT the hell is going on... but I picked up JTHM the other night when I was waiting for a CD to burn, it was actually pretty good... it had pretty interesting themes and good ironic humor.
I hate the gamecube. I'm going to set it on fire if Johann doesn't take it home.
Sep 12, 200215:55
All I've had today is coffee, its 4pm and I oughta eat.. I called today to try and set up a doctors appointment, and lo' n' behold, I don't have medical insurance anymore... my mother thinks my dad has $$ to pay for a wedding, riiiiiight, he can't even pay for his medical insurance, people stress me out when they try and push me to do things I don't wanna do.. thats what prolly makes me the most stressed out and pissed off... when I have someone screaming at ,me to do something I just don't want to do.
Sep 11, 200201:30
Wes thinks I hate his friends. Thats not true, I hate the Gamecube, and large groups of people.. its hard to explain, but lite of sounding like a LJ entry of someone on Paxil, I'll refrain.
I don't know if its issues, or chemical imbalances? Its funny how it runs in families, and people still think that personality isn't hereditary.
My back is killing me, but thats not worth taking pills for.
Sep 9, 200200:41
Wes made fun of me for dling drum and bass songs, "Erica the maaaad junglist!" BUT he doesn't know my secret love for Shakira (en espanol thankyouverymuch) which is far worse.
I'm confused. I see alot of people who are heavily tattooed at the age of 21... Tattoos are expensive. These same people bitch about not having a job. How do people afford this stuff? Good gawd, I just don't get it. On the subject of $$... I recommend anyone with credit cards under the age of 25 cut them all up and get rid of them now while they still can, and they don't have a family/house ect. I know too many people under the age of 25 with 1-5K worth of credit card debt allready. Some people trying to pay 500$ a month JUST on their credit cards. One of the main reasons me and Wes can live in our own apartment and have no trouble paying the bills because we don't have 500$ worht of credit cards to try and pay off...
To further torture Wes I put on the new song from Tori Amos album thats coming out, I like it alot, if the album is like this I will but it since her last 3 albums haven't done anything for me. I still like Tori Amos, but she used to be one of my faves... lucky for Wes, eh?
Sep 8, 200222:50
KaZaA is the best thing next to Napster when it used to work to download files... the only thing is people say its a big risk for spyware and adware. So watch that. But its got ALOT of users so finding files is easy, and it downloads pretty easily. I recommend it.
Now if only I had a CD burner and DSL. Then I really wouldn't get off my computer.
Wes doesn't understand why I never want to be social, being social revolves around watching them play the gamecube all night, not having a plce to sit and being utterly bored and ignored. Thats why I stay in the bedroom.
Sep 7, 200223:45
Weee! I changed the look of my page, which was delightfully fun... If only redecorating a room was this cheap.
Sep 4, 200214:20
I'm supposed to finish cleaning the house, but its so damned hot now I don'ty want to movew, so instead I locked myself in the bedroom and turned on the ac for a few minutes to turn this room into at least decently temperate.
I did finish the bedroom, and living room... and I cleaned out the fan, because it was freakin' covered in dust (thats what a 2 year old never been cleaned fan looks like). Now it looks almost new, and actually blows air through it. I even got the laundry together. I suppose I should go clean the kitchen... but I don't wanna move yet. Oooh, and then I'm gonna take a shower. And then Wes' will come home and we'll go to his parents house to do laundry, fun!
Sep 4, 200200:35
We saw Roni Size, Usual Suspects and DJ Craze on Sunday... it was fun, the venue was decently clean, as far as venues go, either that, or the fact that its was a 18 and older drum and bass party, and not an all ages party where trance is the main room... meaning less fucked up dirty kids dropping shit all over the place including themselves. Either way, it was a good party, and groovetickets.com makes it easier and cheaper to pay (20$ presale vs, 35$ at the venue)... Wes liked the outside, which was pretty big, but the heat this weekend didn't make it any cooler outside when you went outside to cool off.
Monday was a day to sleep in and we went to the movies for free... I get payed friday, and I'll actually have some $$, I baought 6ga plugs from bmeshop so I can wear my claws when I want to, and wes bought the bme zombie tee since he loves it so much and loves his bme shirts, and a pair of surgical scissors (oh how fun!)... Bmeshop orders come quicker than victorias secret, how funny is that? Support bme, buy their crap!
Sep 1, 200200:01
When I start to dream about things I know I'm comfortable... I haven't yet had a dream about my apartment that I can recall... and it took about 3 months before I had one about Costco... my work dreams always consist of the same kinda thing, trying over and over to do something and not being able to get it done... I hate work dreams.
Tommarrow is Bassrush, so I'm excited to see Roni Size, and then I have all Monday off to recover from being in LA.. hopefully Wes doesn't break his knees, and we don't have to leave early again.
Aug 30, 200223:43
Hmm.. I have to move my car down here from the sfae haven of my dads garage, and I think I might want to sell it... its a 63 VW Bug in good condition, but I just don't need it anymore nor do I have thew time or $$ to maintain it, nor will I for the next 5 years or so.. I don't need the cash for it, but I don't like the idea of not having a real place for it and Wes won't drive it, he'd baja it, but I like stock bugs, not baja ones. I need to fix one of the fenders and just give it a cheap paint job, and I know it'd sell fro at least 1000$ more. I used to get offers to from people all the time before I stopped driving it (I have a boring ass Honda Civic now, but hell, it gets me out of Temecula just fine).... hmm... hwta to do...
Aug 28, 200222:57
I brought home one of the wrong boxes of books, and put the other in strage.. then proceeded to fuck up my pinky finger and it REALLY fucking hurt... pulling yer nail halfway off sucks so bad.
Aug 28, 200200:58
I'm supposed to go to the doctors tommarrow at 8:30 AM, and I would have to wake up by 6am to get there.. argh, I don't want to do that, and then I have to go to my dads house to sort through the rest of my stuff and throw out what I can or whatnot... I should be asleep if I'm doing that, but I took a nap so I'm not sleepy, you know?
Aug 25, 200222:00
My new printer refuses to install, its kinda fucking bullshit.... so I am prolly going to return it, and get another one, if that doesn't work then costco can owe me 50$... stupid crappy printer.
Aug 24, 200223:29
Everyone who owes me money needs to pay me back. Anyone who barrows stuff from other people and does not return it is a shithead. I always return stuff I borrow because its the right thing to do. Fucking Assholes.
Aug 21, 200221:00
I went to visit my mommy, and I came home with lots of goodies, i want Wes to come home soon because I'm really damned hungry, and Tab is going to cut my hair since I'm sick of it... I'm just going to cut a lil off since since its all gross. I want winter soon... I'm sick of heat, at leats it hasn't been too hot this summer. I'll clean up the house while I wait for my princess to come home.
I got a super huge zucchini from my mom for dinner, so its zucchini and chicken strips, but I'm gonna coat mine in bbq sauce and I'll see if they taste decent.... oh gawd is it it time to go grocery shopping.
Aug 18, 200222:04
Ack... my healing of my touchup has produced an itchy sort rash over the area... kinda like a rash/break out, its highly unpleasent. I really need a vaction for like 5 days... my credit card balance is slowly but surely being reduced... Wes is at tgif with Tab so I'm home alone... :( I need to finish my credit card bill off....
I got my time off requests back and I got inkslingers off... it would be fun to meet up with some of yous at inkslingers... so to that.. I shall make a forum...
The neighbors upstairs hump too loudly... the girl is a screamer... &/or a faker. The secret to being a good lover is communicate listen and if someone is doing something to you... that prolly is something they'd like done back to them.
Halloween is on a friday in 2003... sooooo thats the official dat eof our wedding. 10/31/03.
Aug 17, 200222:29
ick, my eyelash is bothering me still... Tera came over last night anbd we watched lord of the rings and had dinner... Tera is a fun house guest. If only we could feed her and keep her under the bed....
Wes got his tongue split again, and I was the filmer and for some reason *I* got lightheaded and to go walk outside for a breath of freah air, isn't that funny? The heat of the room and being nervous for him made me get like that... not the actual procedure.. but watching him spit a few mouth fulls of blood did me in.. odd huh? Tera did a great job as Daves helper... Either way, heat + nervousness + blood has made me almost pass out 3 times before... so I'm not all that shocked. I would like to get mine split... but I need to work up the courage and be able to take a week off of work.
Aug 14, 200211:42
I don't wanna go to work in ten minutes, will someone impersonate me and go to work for me, I work the door so its REALLY easy, a monkey could do it (hey, wait a minute...) I'm looking forward to this weekend, it'll be nice to have a guest that isn't going to just eat all my ice creams (I hate you all!) and play smash brothers in the living room with Wes. And I actually have a saterday off that I didn't request. Ack, now its 7 minutes till I have to leave.
Aug 13, 200219:27
weee....I get to watch wes's tongue get split which is quite exciting... since I'm considering it myself... I'd need to take a lot of time offa work and just recoup tho since I have to talk alot to people.
Aug 11, 200221:00
aaahh home...
so what'd I do this weekend went to encinitas and went to stephanies party which she slept through which was kinda funny... and killed a whole tank a gas in two days, and geeez, I drive a honda civic... I got my tattoos touched up saterday after very little sleep, and work which isn't ever fun by any means.. I'm cooking baked potatoes and then I'm gonna cook some shrimp and then me and wes are gonna pretend we went to sizzler. Yeah so cute girls should get split tongues. Cute girls + split toungues = HOTT!
Aug 9, 200218:51
I need to go to vons and buy some espresso for Wes but I really don't wanna get up from this chair since I allready went to Costco and bought 100$ worth of gorceries (goodbye $$).. at leats my electric bill was only like 18$ go us! we are really good about not wasting electricity here since its not exactly free.
Will you go by vons and pick up the coffee for me? thanx.
Aug 9, 200214:36
Wes is going to work soon, which means I'll be going to the goprcery store... and the bank, and the post office, and um.... I think thats it. And then we are going to stephanies bday party, and then we are going to get out tattoos touched up tommarrow and I'm gonna ask for an estimate on my sleeve and show kimmie the design wes drew up. Because its fuckin' RAD.
I get paid tomarrow... and then we are going grocery shopping, but today I went to marie callanders and bought us each a pie, sour cream and apple for me and chocolate for him, at 6pm I have to go to work, but only for 5 hours and I get to get paid AND have a day off on a friday, how nice is that? Direct deposit is the best thing ever.
On Shannons point about IAM -
Mods aren't a fashion statement, they are PERMINANT, they can't be taken off in a few months or years when you move onto the next cool scene. I recently read a diary rant in which some kid (the makeout-club variety) was bitching about having 1" ears, and how people looked at him like he was a freak & he couldn't find a job. Well-fucking-duh. if your not commited to dealing with the things that happen when you are modded (not saying these are allright, because they aren't) then don't GET mods, because they are OBVIOUSLY not for you. Get tattoos because YOU like them, not because you want to look good at the next show or club.
So like, I was gonna use my tax return for my credit card, I figured this out in december when I used it for xmas presents. I FINALLY got my return yesterday (long story, but whatever) and I finally made a 450$ payment on my credit card which lkeaves my balance at around 475$ which is really damned good considering most the people I know my age with credit cards are in the hole 2000$ or more. Either way, it feels good not to owe much on my credit catrd, my goal is to finish paying that card off in the next two months... and then I won't have any more credit card debt. I just have a car to pay off.... go me.
Aug 5, 200222:48
yeah for responsibility!

Aug 2, 200222:56
Eh.. I'm farking tired... its 11pm and I think I shall be going to bed soon since tommarrow is the last day of con, but it doesn't feel at all like I've had a day off... in fact it feels like I've worked 12 hours straight the past few days. The crackhead neighbors got busted for their METH LAB I guess they were building. I'm hungry, but to lazy to cook myself something. almost all my $$$ was spent on food, can you believe that?
Jul 31, 200201:18
my bf is weird... but so cute....... he is have con related seizures, just one more day.. heh.
Jul 30, 200201:15
I made a five year plan.I just need to stick to it. Dammit.
Jul 27, 200221:30
What to do.....
I'm supposed to be responsable and use my tax return on my credit card to half the balance, which isn't all that big (900$ with a 10.9% rate).. BUT I wanna get more tattoos... argh..
What to do...
Jul 25, 200223:57
People say the goddam stupiest things.
Am I the only one on the planet wondering why everyone is trying to outdo their neighbors? You'd think we are all out buying the newest cars to display in our suburanite driveways instead everyone seeing who can punch the hugest holes and stretch the fastest, who can fill up the bare skin with as many tattoos. I personally like lots of tattoos and piercings and hope to, over time accumulate more. Yes people will stare, and touch and ask the most inane questions if you are modded, and its gets to ridiculous levels if you are heavly modded. You can't work at Nordstroms selling ties, Ralphs packing groceries, or teach elementrary school kids if you have facial mods, the normal public hasn't quite gotten used to it. There are plenty of other jobs you can do, but yeah, you're retail career is essentially over.
And yet, I see the same thing over and over, "happily jobless" "unemployed" "why won't they hire me?" "why did I have to take my labret/lip/nose/eyebrow ring out?" These mods are going to affect your life, they are perminant, everyoen should take the time to think about why, and about how it'll affect them, BEFORE they start making these decisions.
Jul 25, 200221:45
Wes brings up the point about voting being the means for the majority to have its ends... BUT I was taught and still believe that much of our laws and especially our supreme court, protect the minority DESPITE the majority's opinion. Medical Marijuana and the election of Bush is what alot of people see as the failure of the voting system, but in the case of medical marijuana, do NOT forget, state laws don't overide federal, and yes, there are a lot of programs actually putting that proposition into affect without the police arresting doctors and cancer patients.
Bush was a close call, the electoral collage is kinda lame, but it gives small states more power than you might think. The voting machines need fixing, BUT one point might have been made, that if all the absentees were counted, he may have come out on top anyways. Who knows, hes an idiot.
Voting has FAR more power than people think, and the problem is people in their twenties DON'T vote then ask why lawmakers make stupid laws (like, some states its STILL illegal to tattoo).. imagine lawmakers (you know, the people who get voted into office because you DIDN'T vote) banning tattooing, outlawing piercing and putting the piercers and tattoo artists in jail for you know, reasons like praticing medicine w/out a license.
So Fucking Vote
Jul 25, 200200:51
Allright, all finished doing a big update on my page. I would go hang out with Wes but hes playing video games *snore*
GO VOTE IN THE POLLS!
Jul 24, 200223:35
I'm trying to figure out why I've been so antisocial the past few months, my main guess is moving from the same city you've lived in ALL (22 years, mind you) your life, to a city an hour away with nobody you know 'cept your bf and his friends. Since I started working out here I feel less stressed but I feel more "unattached" you could say... The closest (distance wise) freind I have near here is fairly close, but we don't talk much for reasons I don't feel disclosing in a public forum. Wes gets to see his freinds all the time, but mine are an hour away, even if a phone call is at your fingertips.
It enough to make one not want to even talk to people so you don't have to deal with a sense of loss if anything goes wrong. The worst of it is when I take it out on Wes or whatnot. If it isn't my job or school or boys, something in my life doesn't ever let me rest.
Is there any girl who doesn't find Chris Issak's "wicked game" sexy?
Wes calls me an ubernerd, but I overheard him talking to Tab about "ultimate" moves when playing Smash Bros.
Jul 24, 200218:37
be jealous, be very jealous
Jul 24, 200215:09
I feel much more awake now that I drank 3 shots of espresso... since I don't have any milk, espresso shots will do. They work better o wake me up, but its like super coffee breathe explosion! I finally saw makeout club and have a live journal account. But IAM roxers compared to those. We are broke this weekend but at least we have plans. Anyone wanna come vacuum my house? And do my dishes? I would love them forever. When you don't ever eat out you end up making lots of dirty dishes.
Hmm.... you know whats stupid? Not people who do drugs because I could care less if you do drugs and admit it, but when you say you quit (or whatever), and say "oh no, I don't do drugs.." to impress your freinds (impressing your boss and parents is another issue) and you DO in fact do drugs, and I don't mean get-drunk-smoke-a-bowl kinda drug use.... argh, its just STUPID. It goes with my hatred of fakeness and/or total scenesters. If I'm still freinds with people who snort k, and you do k with them, don't expect them not to say something to yer freinds who are not-quite-as-in-the-dark-as-you-think about your drug use. Argh. whatever.
Hmmm.... I want more tattoos, I'm scared of piercing needles, eeek.. I don't know why I've been pierced in unpleasent places like rooks and nipples and all and all earlobes hurt worse. Tattoos don't scare me at all, I relax fully and want to sleep.. the only thing is my body is never comfortable in one spot for too long I'm rather fidgety of a person. I am untough with piercings and I know it doesn't even hurt bad, thats the thing... don't even get me started on shots, in the arm I used to FREAK when I was a kid... now I just look away and still flinch. I guess tattooing seems like drawing,, and the piercing reminds me of shots. Weird how that works. I am thinking about getting my toungue web cut.. that doesn't scare me, considering when I got it pierced it was painless, I honestly didn't feel the needle.. bod mod isn't about a ritual of pain for me (shit I get that once a month and I plan on trying to have my children w/out drugs) its the end result...
Anyone have any cheap fun wedding ideas? I think I shall create a forum for anyone to post any ideas and supply places.... That is all... too much espresso makes me post lots of words. Weeee!
Jul 23, 200212:41

Mmmmm Artichokes!
Tomarrow is my day off.. and then I get paid on friday, so I'm happy, but I'm saving all my $$$ for comicon, and if I don't spend it all I might just start saving for my next tattoo.. I have 3 ideas.. I wanna wait for awhile before I start a half sleeve only cuz, who wants to where sleeves that long to work in Temecula in August. Next August I'll deal for for now, I'll wait.
I need to go but that book because I have 2 in the series, but its the wrong two! Damn it all.
I missed the BBQ and went to see Dayna's wedding, she was super excited we came, and it meant alot to her, so new people have to wait because old freinds come first sometimes.
I made a tasty dinner tonite.. here is a recipe for anyone who likes artichokes -
boil artichoke till its leaves pull off easily
Heat oven to 450 degrees
put 1/2 teaspoon of garlic butter on the top of the artichoke
season with a few shakes of season salt
set on a piece of foil
add chunks of butter around the edges
wrap up and place in oven
cook for 15-20 minutes
mmmm artichokes
Jul 21, 200200:28
And we have guests, and I don't feel like being social, so everyone thinks I hate them prolly, but I just don't feel like being social and competing for bits and pieces of conversation. Its the same feeling I've had for 2 months and it extends far beyond shyness.

When you suffer good ole depression, some days are better than others.
And some days are not.
Jul 19, 200217:44
Everyone is lame. I don't wanna go to work. Work is especially lame. I want Wes to come home.
Jul 16, 200200:28
clockwerk 2 electric bugaloo
So anyways... what have I done the last few days? Friday we went to this electroclash club, by electroclash they mean synthpop. I hate when people break music into 2 bazillion catagories to market it. White people cannot dance, I dunno what the deal is, but it was bad, I wouldn't even feel bad if I attempted to dance because at least have the understanding that you are supposed to use the beat as a guide. It wasn't that bad or anything, but pretentious-ness (is that a word? it is now) makes me damn near crazy, when people act pretentious (the main reason I HATE clubbing) I just want to hit them. Blarg! I rather have an etarded kid try and hug me than a prententious girl look bored and smoke cigerettes next to me. To top it off some girl who used to have a crush on Wes jumped up and body-hugged him saying "Oh Wes, my favorite lover!" While he tried to extract her and introduce his fiance, at that point she lets go and looks at me and says nervously "Oh, just kidding." Cute. Luckily Wes's friend Mike kept us entertained..
Saterday we visited my sister and went to that concert where wes got to shoot water outta his lip in front of like a few thousand people, Sunday John came to visit and I worked most the day.
Today I came in at 6am to work... good god why? I thought all day about going back to bed, thats when you just know you are tired.
My mom called Wes "future son-in-law" hehe... juts like Colonge says to Ranma in Ranma 1/2 if anyone knows what I'm talking about.
Our stoner neighbors are weirdos, they ask for ciggerettes everyday and knock on our door at 1am, next time she comes over here I'm so gonna yell at her. that is all.
Jul 12, 200200:48
My work caught on fire today. We got to sit outside and eat ice cream for an hour and get paid. How lucky am I? I wish we caught on fire more often.
I fixed my ring with teflon so it fits now, sweet, huh? It just looks silly on the bottom.
I read somes page who said they wanted to be in a srious relationship soon and marry a tattoo artist. I get to be engaged to Wes and one day he'll grow up to be a fine tattoo artist.
I still need a new keyboard.
Jul 11, 200214:24
The most irritating thing in the world is liars... blech, anyone who acts like someones friend, but in reality, they'd stab them in the back for 1$. I've seen far to much of this lately, and after awhile it freaking grates on my nerves. Ugh. Asskissing is just as bad. Ah well. People had just better not ask for favors...argh.
I don't wanna go to work.. but tomarrow we are going out late so that oughta be fun.
Jul 11, 200214:11
Jul 10, 200220:41
Got my oil changed... finished my book, bought The Royal Tenebaums (go buy it!) Went shopping and bought two shirts... I still need to do laundry... ah well, perhaps tommarrow.
Jul 9, 200222:46
I don't like feeling depressed. My bf thinks I don't want him because I have no sex drive. Believe me, I love him with all my heart, and I find him super adorable, I just don't have much of a sex drive.
I'm going shopping tommarrow and chanching my cars oil finally.
I neeeeeeed a haircut. Char didn't want to see our booty pic, but I didn't wanna hear about a UTI. So, we are even!
Jul 8, 200220:57
Ahh.. what to say about the weekend.... We went to hollywood fri, saterday had dinner with Wes's family, and yesterday we ate then went to go see MIB2... my computer is possessed. I swear it. It keeps changing all my shit around and making me crazy. Saterday is Wes's freak show.... and next saterday is Dana's wedding and August 1-3 is comicon and I got all those days from work.. so it'll be sure to be fun.
Die Keyboard! Die!
Jul 4, 200223:10
my boyfreind just informed me that the picture I just uploaded looks weird. Sweet huh?
Jul 3, 200222:44
I need new work shoes, new checks and a new keyboard.
Wes got the 10ga needles to do my inner labia piercings... piercings make me nervous (and this keyboard really fucking annoys me) unlike tattoos which don't scare me at all no matter where.. odd huh?
2 freaking days off in a row, how great is that??
I would write more but this keyboard is just anooying me to death. And yeah, I'm going to the hustler party with wes.
Jul 2, 200221:35
Tooo, too sleepy... I hate when i come home from work and just collapse. I have to work tommarrow, and then I get 2 days off in a row. Its been over 4 months since I got two days off in a row... and I get for the 4th even though we are closed, how nice is that?
Wes is making brownies.. weeee... my mom is coming to visit me friday and we are going to go shopping at costco, hopefully she'll buy me some groceries since we could use some.
Jun 29, 200201:14
I put up half a boob.. and look what happens!! :) Last thoughts for tonite. I can get this drum and bass staition to stream w/out buffering, its playing Ed Rush.. only problem, its a live set with a lame MC... doesn't that figures? :) I have to get this old dieselboy cd... CD's & books are the best damn investments anyone can make. Toilet paper is not. Wes went to pechange with Crystal, I want him to come home. :( I think I had something else to mentionAh well... thats all.
Jun 28, 200223:57
I got paid today.. I got a friggin' huge paycheck, o after I came home from work, we went to target and I bought a mop, broom, dustpan, papertowels, lotion, a sports bra, a regular bra (which isn't that comfy yet)... harry potter uno deck, time mag, and I think thats it. Oh, and sponges. Cleaning the kitchen, very very exciting.
We went to Barnes and Noble Yesterday so I still have a few books to read. I think I'm gonna have to start wearing sports bras because even 38's are too small around the sides. thats a bunch of crap huh? They'd prolly be more comfy at work since I have to run around trying to find stuff and holding my boobs isn't fun. its nice the pill made my boobs big, but its not nice that it made them HURT. They cleared up my skin, but made my sex drive funny. And I'm pretty sure its what gives me mood swings. I hate you pill!!! Even if you keep me from making babies!!!
Jun 27, 200208:52
Thoughts on relationships from past mistakes...
Damn, I'm on early in the morning. Catching up on peoples diaries. My advice for the young at heart - don't fall head over heels for people so easily and quickly, making someone your strength because you don't have any, leaves you weak, make someone your equal partner and you'll be twice as strong.
Jun 26, 200222:59
Just a note, if I were really a "fucking bitch" I'd embarrass you by posting a link to your page, so everyone could have a good laugh.
I'm about to finish the last chapter of my Harry Potter, and that means I have no more Harry Potter to read for awhile. JK Rowling needs to hurry up!I bought myself a new book to read when I'm finished, but I REALLY wanna read Harry Potter! I get paid friday, which means I'll have the mad cash monies again, its been 2 weeks since I had that stuff called money, I need a mop and a broom for the house, and a new bra, since mine don't fit me. Bras just don't fit me right... I need to order a 38B from victoria's secret... the 36's are too small and I get bruises on the sides from them, its not pleasent.
Wes is ranting about the magic of japanese sticky rice, I knew if I told him about it, he'd want me to buy it. I really just want theose mochi ice creams again....
2 days.....money!!!
Jun 26, 200217:12
I need to take a "chill pill?"
Someone makes a poll on their website asking people to vote on what tattoos they should get, and they have MY freaking tattoos as one the options. With my IAM name and everything. And this girl wonders why I am UPSET? Jeeebus Christ, who wouldn't be? Its not like its my fucking haircut she wants to copy, its my tattoos! Its a damn big deal to me. But then again, its not like I can expect much from someone who has angelina jolie's "what nourishes me also destroys me" tattoo, tattooed upon themselves. Argh.
I had today off and what did I do? I cleaned the apartmant and did the dishes, tommarrow I'm gonna go shopping, and buy stamps to mail my bills and my dads gonna come over for dinner.
Dude. People need to think their own tattoo designs. And I don't mean use others tattoos as flash that they "change". I drew out my lower back tattoo's sketch, and had Kari refine it, I grabbed the font for my underarms tattoos off acidfonts.com and it was a reaction the events on 9/11 and my feelings about it, and I had the idea for the placement of the stars on my shoulders myself, Wes kindly suggested the pink outline when I got them touched up... I didn't see my tattoos on anyone and think that it would make a cute idea...
On ahappier note, we gots groceries... :)

My boyfreind likes to sensually harass me. Its okey because he is super duper cute.
I don't like scenes. I especially don't like sXe scenes. I used to date a sXe kid for a long long time. I used to hang out and go to shows and eat vegan food with them. I still wore my sublime shirt when we hung out. I used to eat chicken and sometimes it would touch his vegan food, I got shit for that. I smoked weed (and sometimes I still do) and I got a whole lotta shit for that. I got ultimatums and "I will never date a girl who does drugs again!" In the end, he ended up dating a girl who smoked, who drank, who tweaked and did nos on their prom night. Sometimes I get the last laugh.
Jun 22, 200223:23
its C-U-T-E!!!!
I dunno what it is about my shoulder tattoos, but they are impenetratable to lotion, the only thing that works on them in neosporin. Don't ask me... they bled a ton the first two times and the third time they just lymphed alot (dripping lymph fluid while the other side was being tattooed. Its really quite odd... either way they are happy with neosporin. I have another tattoo idea for a half sleeve, Wes drew it up while I was at work... so perhaps when I get the cash moneys I can get it started. I told myself I need to get my stars fixed/finished before i get another tattoo. I'm not into the half done tattoo look. I got my outline done on my back and waited a month for the color... Kimmie said she'd be excited when I talked to her about the idea... I've never seen my idea as a tattoo, but most people would recognize it, and most girls owned a few.. (or a ton like me) when they were a kid.. Thats all I'll ay about that.
Tonite we went to dinner with wes's parents and then went to go see Lilo and Stitch.. which was C-U-T-E!!! I want a Stitch...!! Hes adorable.
I have to work 6 days again this week... thats crap in a hat I tell you!! oh well, my hours are good, but 6 days a week 3 weeks straight is no fun.
Jun 21, 200200:46
I finally finished my tattoos.. see my gallery for imgaes... Wes is the cutest boyfreind ever.. see below and I get to sleep in tommarrow. Fucking rock!
Jun 19, 200213:15
I'm filing a claim to get my tax return.. hopefulkly in 45 days or so I'll have that hunk of cash... what am I gonna do with it you ask? Give it to the credit card company so I have a small balanc and hopefully I'll be able to pay off that card this year. Its my only card mind you, and its got a low interest rate and I reduced my actually limit myself. Nobody my age needs that much credit.
Me and Wes decided to get a pet.... we decided on a ferret.. cause its as cool as a dog and can live happily in our apartment... We are going to try and get one through a freind of mine who does animal rescue and well, shes got all the connections and we will prolly be able to get set up for free. Either way, we need a pet because its lonely here without any animals.. my said we could have her parakeet, but Wes doesn't want it, allthough I;'d take it... the bird is quiet, unless you stumble into its cage at night and almost knock it over... heh.
My mom got me a gift certificate to old navy for my birthday and some stuff for my house... I need new clothes... Tonite! Tattooing and stuffs.
Jun 18, 200215:14
well, turns out they did send e my tax return check in the mail, but somehow I never got it.... I'm super pissed off because if it was stolen and cashed I'm out 450$... I rather like having a mail box that locks now in our apartment.... I haven't talked to my dad yet today, he hasn't called or anything .. he'll feel like a big ass if he forgets. At least my mom called and Wes told me happy bday first thing in the morning.. I have a stomach ache and a headache and I want to lay down... but I have to leave for work in 3 hours. Yuck.
Jun 18, 200201:52
Jun 18, 200201:13
Well, its officially my birthday here... weird to think, my plan is to hang out all day and then go to work for about 5 hours, and then wensday I'm getting tattooed. My freind Dana is getting married apparently (don't mind me and my bad spelling).. her mqom called to get my address so she can send me an invitation.. I'll call her tommarrow and give it to her. Dana is like, the sweetest person in the world.. not sure who she is marrying though... a year ago she was only dating someone unless she got back with her ex she dated for years... Ah well.
Jun 16, 200222:33
i hate my freinds
well, all I can say is my friends flaked on me for my housewarming slash birthday party. Amber at least came... I guess Wes is right, your birthdays start to suck as you get older. My 18ht will prolly all be my most memorable... whoa, weird ass fucking night. Either way, I passed my probationary period at my job, I now get paid on the holidays we are closed... eight damned days of year we are closed, and full pay, how great is that?! And I got a raise too after my 90 days, which I didn't know I was gonna get... Either way I work for a good company.
Wes broke our trash can while drunk, Wes isn't an affectionate drunk, eh, more the opposite... so thus, he shouldn't get drunk, I bought a new trashcan, trashbags (which we haven't had) book, some new different bobby pins and clips for my hair since I've been wearing it in pigtails but its still too short in the back to properly wear it without clipping it up in the back.
I'm getting tattooed Wensday night, getting the shoulders touched up and perhaps something else too...
Jun 12, 200215:43
My sister came to visit.. I got Wes's Pi soundtrack to play.. but the first 2 tracks still don't play... argh. My sis and I went put to lunch and she left early an apologized for not staying later.. most my freinds live around Orange County so driving to Temecula seems like huge deal to them... it ends up pissing me off because when I drive out there there isn't a damned thing to do that I haven't done for 21 years in a row allready (I've lived in 2 neighboring cities all my life till now)... no, I do not want to go to the block, or the brea mall.. or drive to huntington beach and hang out on main street or newport beach. there is only so much one can do before you get bored. And thats why I'd rather have my freinds drive out here where we can go and do something we haven't done 8000 times allready.
I feel more comfortable in my apartment since its got a nice sense of familarity that living at Wes' parents house didn't... and its clean, not like living with my dad and getting really annoyed because he is a SLOB. Its gotten worse since I left, since I'm not there to pick up the place... people love to tell everyone how shitty their family life was, as if its a badge of honor... enough ranting...
Jun 11, 200219:55
you hear that?
thats the sound of my ears saying ouchie, ouchie... talons hurt me. Wes came home and ruined my last entry, then left me at home whilst he went to Bret and Deserees house. Now hes cooking dinner... what I'd really like right now is some fast food, seeing as though I haven't eaten any in about 2 weeks.
I have tommarrow off.. thank gawd. My sister is coming to visit. I want a live journal because everyone on BME knows me and my bf and I would love to chat about things without a fucking audience for once.

I need to put away my laundry, abut I'm uber hungry too.. and I'm totally itching for a new tattoo or piercing again.. its been 3 months. I wonder how much $$ I'll have friday when I get paid.. cuase if I have enough... I need to change my oil in my car real bad, and someone at work offered to give me an iron since he had 2, which he just doesn't need, which I thought was very nice to him. Weeeee! Here comes my bf, I see him walking down the hill to our humble abode.
My hair just barely long enough for pigtails. Its cute. Next Saterday, Housewarming party.
Time for bed.
Jun 7, 200217:42
well. today hasn't been all that good... my mom never came by... my work tried to freak me out by asking me to come in early, then telling me I'm sceduled to work when I really wasn't.. and then I got a very scary phone call, & Wes came home early from work because of that.. we are supposed to go to hollywood, so that'll be good.

a ciggerette
I want a cigerette right now. I can sit in my apartment and smoke if I'd wish, and there is no one to say "hey! you can't smoke in here!" on that note, I need an ashtray, I don't own one.. I used to have one from when I used to smoke Lucky Strikes. I never knew they were all that strong until people brought that to my attention. Wes took out all the trash and I did the dishes, and we cooked dinner and Crystal came ove and ate with us. And now I still want a ciggerette. A marlboro menthol ultra light. A Camel Jade wouldn't be bad either. My birthday is in 13 days. Its odd to think that, I was so preoccupied with moving that I hardly remembered my bday is coming up. Everynight when I come home from work there are people over... sometimes I just wish it were me and Wes at least for a couple nights. I guess its better since we aren't always going out, and thats stressful to me.. but I guess I just like my quiet time alone by myself or with Wes. I don't know what'll happen when I have kids. I don't really want to think about my stress level being that high from the fact that I won't ever be ALONE. I think i just need some time to adjust and feel comfortable.. I never really felt like I lived in Wes's parwnts house, I still felt like I was only staying there. Its hard to feel comfortable in a house you didn't decorate, and have no say in. Wes's parents are great, espcially his mom.. it wasn't that, it was just not having my furniture, and my posters, and such. Its nicer in the apartment, but I guess I just feel stressed. (maybe thats why I want a ciggerette).
Wes is chatting in the next room.. and I still am thinking about a ciggerette. I could go on and on, on my thoughts right now, but seeing as though this is a public forum, I don't think I will, I suppose its hard when the people you know are able to access your thoughts. Oh well, whatever.
Jun 4, 200212:14
We are all moved in.... its a very nice apartment.. here are some pictures for your veiwing pleasure...
May 29, 200222:57
"...taking back words never really does anything but act as an apology....the words were still spoken"
Its nice some good freinds still remember everything. Time only softens things, doesn't completely erase the memories of being hurt or of hurting others in the process of trying to comfort oneself.
This was a good weekend. Saw Angie and Johann, went to the Planet of the Drums at the Orion (left early though, went to the ren faire, went house shopping... need to start packing... I'm too lazy to write anymore and elaborate...
May 24, 200223:12
Stupid websites posting the wrong dates for events. And I hate people who honk for no reason, and people who act nice to your face, but will stab you in the pack for a pack of smokes. Argh.
May 22, 200222:15
I hate people who honk for no fucking reason. I finished my semester today.. yeah! No more having to drive in traffic every wensday. Our apartment # was changed, but its still downstairs and in the front now. Same move in date... I called the utulities and set that up, and now all I really need to set do pack and stuff. One more week.
My boyfreind is a dork (but I loves him lots and lots) and my housewarming party is on the 15th.. gotta email my freinds.

I don't feel good, I feel icky, I feel like I'm getting sick. The apartment people are trying to push the move in date up a day, or switch us to an upstairs unit. No can do. I will be super pissed off if I don't move into the one I want on June 1st. I'm going to go and lay down or something becuae I feel like crap.
May 16, 200220:19
Well, we went and saw star wars last night.. it was good. Better than episode 1. My tummy doesn't feel good.. it hasn't felt god all day, and I smashed a cart into my ankle today. It really fucking hurt. Wes is upstairs sleeping the sleep that we didn't get from going to see Star Wars at 12am and getting up at 7-8am for work.
All thats really been on my mind is moving... I'm super excited still to move into our apartment. Work is fine, I'm getting cashier training next tuesday one of my managers said, since they keep sceduling me to cashier, but I haven't. One of the cashiers I worked with today has a pair of quintuplets at home... I'm pretty sure it wasn't natural because a girl who came through our line has a freind with NATURAL quintuplets. Crazy insane amount of babies.
Other than that, I'm happy about moving (2 weeks) and trying to get all packed and stuff.
May 8, 200222:37
Weee! So June 1st is move in day.. I have a million things to do from then, I need to spend one day at my dads just sorting through the stuff I wanna take and the stuff I want to give to the goodwill. I'm super excited about having my very own apartment (with Wes of course.). :) :) :)
May 6, 200221:28
I'm too tired to write much, all I can really say is.. I applied for that apartment, and I'll here by wensday whether or not I get it. I have excellent credit and I make enough $$, so I'm not too worried. anyways. Everyone is watching hockey and they are being LOUD, I may go clean up our room and do a alittle bit of laundry. Me and Wes took naps today and ate. we live thrilling lives. I met Tera for the first time. We talked about boys and the penis bond they share. And Wes shaved his face with Stephanies lint trimmer, it sounded like he was vacuuming up marbles. Either way, I might be moving June 1st. Which would be ideal. That is all.
May 3, 200200:04
Me and wes went apartment shopping.. no rental offices were open at 6pm.. so I'm going back tommarow before work. Everything dandy like candy in that department.
Reading peoples pages talking about mushrooms reminds me that I haven't taken acid in a year, and that we spent months trying to locate any.. I have mixed feelings about any future use which I don't plan on discussing here - either way... the contemplative aspect.. thats what I miss the most. Uncontrolled giggling and paisley shower curtains is a damned close second.
Apr 24, 200221:46
The computer is being eveil.. so i suppose I'll be using it even less than I allready do. My feet need a foot bath. On a happier note... I got new shoes, new belly jewerly, and a free tshirt in the past 2 days. I can thank my boobs for the jewerly and Linda for the tshirt. My tattoo artist gave me the shirt for my pain and suffering due to my scabby tattoo experiance. I want more tattoos. I still want the one dragonfly tattoo I wanted since december 2001.. so I think I'll get it. And I want someone to draw me another tattoo. Work is fine, I make mad costcocash and don't have to drive far. My boyfreind is the bestest, and my feet still need a foot bath. My tattoos are full of bandages. I have friday off. Life is good, what can I say?
Apr 18, 200214:01
Weee.. I don't have to work till 6pm tonite so I've been cleaning up, and doing laundry all day.. what fun. Its mostly towels from me and wes.. but damn, its alotta towels. Nothing much else... I get my tattoo touched up next wensday.. and I get paid tommarrow, but I don't have mad cash money because I spent a whole lot in the last 2 weeks. I wonder if anything good is going on this saterday...
Apr 15, 200222:18
My boyfriend = the bestest.
I came home from work, and our room was cleaned up.. and I got a present. My bf bought me Roni Size reprezent and my hair dye. Be jealous, be very jealous.
Apr 14, 200221:47
Wes explained eveything that happened this weekend on his page. I needn't say much. I got to see Roni Size, and I was digging the Roni Size until Wes had to hurt his knee. Damn his kneeeeee!!!
I work lots and lots this week. My bf wanted to see me all day, and now hes upstairs with Matt talking comics. Oh well. I watched six feet unbder for the first time, I liked it much. I'll have to watch it again. ::yawn:: sleepy time.
Apr 13, 200201:26
someone just told wes "you know, your ears will never close up, as IF he didn't have a fucking clue. well fucking duh. hehe...
Now hes talking about his psycho ex. Argh. I don't want to act jealous, but sometimes certain things still irk me. I suppose it has to do with always dating someone, someone else wants. Its nice and all to have someone that I suppose is worth something, but there is a point when people act like you aren't even dating them. Writing fucking love letters, or telling them - "you should be with meeeeeee! not her" Luckily that hasn't happened with Wes... but grrr....! :) That is all.
Apr 13, 200200:56
I don't wanna watch jay and silent bob strike back again... I wanna go to bed and read. I'm antisocial, I know it.
Apr 12, 200221:59
Wes is tickling me, and making me squeal like some dying animal. I'm actually pretty excited for tomarrow.. disneyland, then audiotistic. Then he bet me up for not eating his ice cream sandwhich. I'm gonna be all bruised tomarrow for dland and stuff... ah well, I got to punch him in the balls. And lick his face. Fun stuff I tell you.
Apr 11, 200200:39
Wes is waiting upstairs for me... I'm not uber tired yet, I slept in till 1pm today... it was nice. disneyland and audiotistic are saterday.. it'll be fun, but I gots to bring my girl-beating stick with me to beat off all the bme girls who want to hump my bf. ::gives dirty looks to all those girls:: He's mine. You can't have him. I bought him fair and square.
I have nails now. Its nice. except when I accidently scratch myself. Time to go upstairs and read while my bf snores.
I am borring.. this is the same result I got months ago. Wes still says I'm insane.
Apr 10, 200223:55
I taste a bit like Almonds.
Mmm, the taste of almonds - anathema to many with nut allergies, and a bad sign for many more, as my taste is not unlike that of cyanide. Am I good or am I poison? A risky thing to guess about. What Flavour Are You?
Apr 6, 200201:07
I got paid today. I made lots of cashmoneys. I had ALOT left over after my bills. if its always this much, I won't have to worry about being poor no more. I have $$ for my boyfreinds bday, and for disneyland, and for stufflike 5 new shirts and a purse since the gap was having a sale. That is all, I'm going upstairs to cuddle with my bf and go to sleep.
Apr 3, 200221:23
hahahaha... allright, so I shouldn't laugh at everyone since I don't get free tattoos, but I DO get free piercings. By a good piercer too. yeah!
Apr 3, 200221:09
I hate cats. You know that? I really do. People make gallerys of their cats on BME. I don't wanna see your cat. I want to see boobs, not cats. More boobs, less cats.
My bf is grumpy. I came home with an easter basket, real asthma medicine and 5 new pins for him, and he was still grumpy. Grumpy, grumpy, grumpy. I'm hungry, so I'm gonna make some food in a minute. I'm excited about going to disneyland, and then audiotistic, because we will actually be going somewhere next weekend. My nails are quite long. and they are not breaking, its cool. I'm gonna go make food, and sit on grumpy bf's lap and make him turn on the history channel.. which he won't anyways...
Apr 2, 200213:40
I sit and read peoples pages on IAM, and I must say, some people are stuuupid. Sexual preference isn't who you are sleeping with, its who you are attracted to, physically and/or emotionally. Argh. Why don't people understand that?
I need to get my tattoo touched up. I should oughta make an appointment next week mebbe or so. I hope I'm not charged for a touch up...
I get paid on friday, I'm hoping I'll have a nice sized check for someones bday and for my bills.... I could write more, but my life is boring. :) I go to work, I pack groceries & fold clothes for a stupidly good amount of money, I come home, Wes is at home, we either go out or just sit at home in front of the TV.. at night we sit in bed and read and giggle (or I giggle when I scratch his head and talk about camel spiders). He wakes up and goes to work.. I wake up and say goodbye, and go back to sleep... get up, go to work and it happens all over again. Pretty damn nice I might say. Work is 3 miles from home, the latest I get off is 11pm, and then I get home at 11:15. I am fucking lucky. I have a good/easy job... a really funny/sweet/intelligent boyfreind that I get to live with, a nice car, a nice house to live in, a good set of freinds and family... i could go on and on, but I wouldn't want to make all the people (esp. the girls) on bme jealous. Either way, I damned lucky and very grateful.
Apr 2, 200212:52
"Bondage is my thing. Bow to me, bitch."
What's Your Fetish?
I thought it would say something about booty sex....

Apr 1, 200212:01
This office if full of hockey stuffs... I hate having to close all week because wes only works days and then i don't get to see him, I get to sit at home and do nothing till he comes home, and then I leave for work. My rent is due today so I need to get dressed and go buy the bank today. I'm still waiting for my tax return which was filed a month ago electronically.. last time it took 2 weeks. Well, i suppose alot more people are filing this way, so it may take a bit longer. My tummy has been upsetting me for a week... don't know what the deal is exactly.
I need to get paid since my bf's birthday is next week.. I'm contemplating a christian piercing... but I dunno about healing....
Mar 28, 200212:32
I would like the stove to work... I want some ravioli.. Its doing that thing that it does and Mike knows how to fix it, but not me. This cider is pretty good.. it tastes like apple cider mixed with beer. not bad for someone who generally hates the taste of anything alcoholic.
I think I may go and take a bath in a few minutes... I need to buy wes's presents, but I don'ty have any $$ right now...
Mar 23, 200200:21
and listening to The Cure isn't making me miss Wes any less...
Mar 23, 200200:02
its 12am, and I'm bored.. its been a long time since I've been bored. Charlotte just came home and shes int he next room with the dogs by the sound ofit. I'm doign laundry, I'm half way wanting to sleep, halfway wanting to read, halfway wanting to finish my laundry, and halfway wanting to eat. Wes went out to tonite so I'm LONELY. there isn't a whole lot I want to eat here... I might make eggs and toast and pretend I'm at denny's and go upstairs and watch a dvd.
I got almost 40 hours next week. I will be in the mad cash now. It'll be nice for once. They didn't pay me for my orientation. Thats a bunch of crap. I need to write a note requesting the disneyland bme invasion off. I oughta paint my nails to, but they'll just chip tomarrow at work, so I may just paint them clear. I hope Wes comes home soon, its lonely without him. ::big sad i-miss-my-bf face::
I think I'll go make eggs and toast and gatorade and wait for my laundry to finish and try and get it done tonite. I would do we's but he's got a shitload that hes gonna spill all over the floor again tomarrow, why I put it in the basket, I don't know. :) Ah well, it makes me feel at home again, you know picking up after someone.
Mar 21, 200223:31
I need to do laundry and clean our room baaad. Today and yesterday were good days. 2 things that have been bothering me in different ways were set to rest. I like my job. I like my job being so close.. it gives me those 2 extra hours I didn't have, and I have lots of gas left and I'm making more money and doing less work. I feel much less stressed out, its almost weird having two days off and being able to basically sleep in all week long, and be able to come home and be home by 5:30pm or 11am, instead of leaving at 3:30pm and getting home at 12:30am. Funny how I mentioned last night how the two things that were bothering me were linked in a way, and when the first was resovled the second came naturally, And rather unexpectedly. Weird, weird. Anyways, I'm going upstairs to read.
Mar 21, 200200:35
funny how you can read a diary of someone you don't know, and it reminds you of someone else you've never met..
Mar 21, 200200:02
I think I sleep too much some days.. I ditched school to sleep and now its 12am and I'm ready to go back to sleep. I'm not sure wes's family gets me sometimes. I like to spend alot of time by myself, and sometimes i just wanna go sit on the computer and read about stuff or go upstairs and read a book.. and wes thinks I'm mad at him... when i guess sometimes i like to be alone more than other people. I relax by myself, not when I'm out with friends. Taking a nap or a bath and just sitting in my room by myself is one of the only times I feel relaxed. I never understood the whole "calgon take me away" crap until now... I still find it hard to relax without feeling guilty in someway that I'm being lazy and I should be out doing something productive, when sometimes I just wanna sit and do absolutely nothing. I have tomarrow off again too.. I dyed my hair again today and tommarrow I should do laundry. I will go and get my paycheck monday and pick my mail up then, I can't pay my bills until then anyways so I'm not worried.
oh yeah, he likes to grab my boobies lots.
Mar 20, 200212:31
::yawn!:: I just woke up an hour ago, and I'm still tired. I need to go by my dads house today, which means I gotta go to school, which means I can either take a nap or dye my hair...
I am liking working at Cosco... customers are pretty nice, I feel kinda young working there.. most everyone is older than me. its not very hard work... a little more physical than pizza hole, but much less mental stress.
I still have $$ left and I get paid monday. The most $$ I'm saving living here at Wes's come from food. I hardly send any $$ on food now since they actually go grocery shopping here.
They have Oregan Trail here.. I outta play it again. I wanna video games, I should go set up the playstation.
Mar 15, 200200:28
things that suck:
people walking on your newly mopped floors.
you and your bf having oppositr libidos when you want some, hes tired and vice versa
tattoos scabbing and not healing well
things that don't suck:
getting my septum pierced finally
coming home to food and the bestest bf
getting 420miles outta a tank of gas instead of 360
Mar 12, 200212:09
Yesterday we went back to egnima and got the jade piece outta Wes's lip, in exchange for a glass plug like his old one, just bigger. I got a circular barbell for my septum.. the teeniest-tiniest barbell they make... it looks uber cute.. I loves it. I wanted my stupid septum pierced for like, a million years and I finally got it. Yeah!
I'm gonna color in my tattoos with my tattoo pen until I can get them touched up, heh.
I have one week left at my other job, I dunno if I'll work there at all.. I'll find out. And I left all my emploeyee info at Cosco... they never gave it back to me after training on saterday.. I would like to get it back for the direct deposit slip and the handbook.
The sweetist thing is coming out of the shower to find someone wrote "I <3 Erica" on the mirror.
Mar 11, 200213:34
Well, its been a good week.. I got a new job, 3.5 miles from home.. (home being Wes's now, and for the past month offically). I got a job at Cosco, which is great, seeing as tho, I am getting a 1.50$ raise from my old job, and well, if you know anything about cosco, the employee benifits are great... almost union, except no union dues. ect. I'm rather stoked about it all.
My tattoos, well, they ended up scabbing up completely, and then drying out (despite lotion) and craking and lymphing and bleeding. Never seen anything so, uh gross in relation to tattoos. I finally bought neopsorin, said fuck the lubriderm, and it finally helped them heal. Most of the scabbing has flaked off. but some of the cracks are all nice and still there. Its gonna be a few weeks before they are completely healed. And there will need to be some touching up.. but they faired better than I expected. I don't know why I bled so much, I dunno if it was the artists fault, or just mine (I didn't take anything that would thin my blood) but either way, the bleeding was the cause of the scabbing. I think they may peel again, but not scab we'll see.
We finally pierced my septum saterday night, its not really sore at all today. the ball was a bitch to put on and the mosquitos we're pinching my septum.. I was whining because it hurt, and me and Wes got into it for a few minutes. My septum was feeling pretty beat from trying to make a straight piercing outta a crooked septum. We have to take the ball out tonite, so i can push it up for work... but it feels fine today... only the tiniest bit of soreness.
Yesterday we decided to go to the zoo.. which was fun, and on the way back we stopped in hillcrest and then headed to Egnima looking for jewerly... I got my talons I've been searching for, and Wes ended up getting his lip scalpled to 1/2" since Dave wanted it to be just a tad more centered. Dave said I looked shorter in real life... hehe. I told him the same. Wes's lip got beat after they inserted 3 pieces of jewelry until they were satisfied. Wes gets the fucking-toughness award for bearing through it while I was whining about the mosquitos pinching my nose. (hey, my eyes were watering damnit!!)
All in all, it was a productive week.
Mar 5, 200223:35
Wee.. I finally got my tattoos.. I ended up getting the stars on my shoulders... they are sore, and scabby allready.. I just got them yesterday.. pics when I upload them. Tattoos like to bleed on my shoulders it seems. I hope they heal well. Damn you, tattoos and you're making everything sore for me.
Mar 2, 200223:39
Well... its saterday night, 8pm, and we still have nothing to do... I'm supposed to go and find out if Bass Rush is on tonite... ravelinks is mum on the subject. Blah. all dressed up with nowhere to go.
Mar 1, 200216:37
Well... I'm sitting at home waiting to say goodbye to Wes before I gotta go to work, but hes out with Char shopping at the mall... and it seems I might be leaving before he gets home. I'm going monday to get my tattoo as long as plans go as well, planned. We finally got all the stuff I brought over settled in Wes' room.. now we have the dvd player working, seeing as it works with my tv, and we got my playstation, my mini fridge, and my cd collection full of Tori Amos which I just know wes wants to listen to when I'm not home. I wish he'd get home because I wanna see him before I go to work. blah...
Loved the My Little Pony's... pssshh... I still have them, yes all 115 or so somewhere in my garage.
Feb 25, 200217:23
Well... I basically had to work all weekend... fri night.. not getting home till 2am, up at 7am to get to work saterday, home by 7pm, and I had to close sunday.. I know the drive being an hour 20 minutes or so is killing me... I need to get a job closer to home.. I have plans for this... tommarrow I go vote prolly, and pick up my paycheck. My mom always offers me money, but I never take any..I always say I'll only take it if I really need it, but for once I asked if she could give me some money to buy clothes with for job interviews. She gladly said okey.
Wes finally got his tattoo.. I had to drive to LA after work last night to pick him up from Kats house... which BTW was fucking cute. I want her apartment. Good decorating taste, and shes (and her roomate) have a nice book collection. I was also sick this weekend, so I have the achy's and sore throat.. so just slept (well as much as I could) as much as I could while Wes was getting tattooed. Driving home to temecula from LA at 3am isn't fun.
I might go and get my tattoo tonite.. I wanna see how I feel, and see how wes feels, prolly tired.. if she doesn't want to go, I'll drive to oc and go with Amber.. me and her need to hang out, since I haven't seen her for 3 weeks. Blarg. That is all.
I'm at my dads.. haven't been here for quite sometime.. a few of my plants are dead, as I suspected... mebbe I can trick him into getting food since I don't have any $$$ for food, since my stupidy stupid job cut my hours. Stupidy stupid Chris was supposed to leave and thats why I was transfered.. but hes supposed to leave if his pop punk band gets signed. So uh, I'm never getting the hours.
It sucks when you miss someone even when you live with them. And you wish you didn't have opposite working scedules. well, I dyed my hair back to a cinnomon red color, easier to get a job. Well, below is proof that I'm pretty moved in, well, unless Wes owns anything pink.
Feb 22, 200203:10
:::yawn:: I was off work today and spent the day cleaning me and we's room and doing all sorts of laundry... we went for a ride on the vespa.. in which wes was getting annoying because I kept shifting around.. heh. I gotta work tommarrow.. no fun, but I have saterday off.. so not too bad.
Feb 21, 200202:34
not much to say here... I ditched school today, came home, took a nap.. wes came home and took a nap with me after taking a shower..I told my boss about getting a new job out here... he was understanding, he told me he really appreciates all I've done in the last few weeks, which is nice.. overworked, underpaid, and not appreciated.. what I'm used to in the jobs I've had. At least my bosses all love me and promote me, even if they don't pay me half of what I should be paid.. and thats coming from my bosses.
Tomarrow I'm gonna do laundry and put awy my stuff in wes's room.. since its still wes's room.. all my clothes are still in baskets and all that... tired...
Feb 19, 200200:43
blargh... work sucks.. I need a job closer to home... driving to irvine suXors.. or whatnot. I like my new boss... but I don't like going through 1/2 tank in 2 days.. and I drive a friggin 2001k civic.
I need to do laundry... Wes is busy chatting about hockey in the next room. Yeah, Wes used to be a big hockeysuperstar back in the day. I was just a waterpolo loserstar.
I stuill need to unpack my stuff and hang up my sailormoon posters, and get my happyhardcore cds from my house. (as if I'd ever listen to that crap.)
Feb 15, 200200:32
Not os bad of a Valentines Day... didn't do anything special.. I was going to buy Wes some newcastle, but alas, I was thawrted in my search... I on the other hand, got the best gift I've ever gotten for valentines day (well, outta 3 gifts ever I think.).. Wes drew a picture for *me*... which well, means alot since he never draws stuff for people generally(well, hes still working on Kats picture... at 3am mind you, you know, when I'm trying to sleep).
I got my very own house key. I got my very seat on the couch to watch temptation island. Which I gladely gave up after saying "this is stupid" because it is. No one will watch the losers on talk shows with me, (love the jerry springer) but they will watch crappy crap like tempation island. No offense to anyone who loves it, I hate it.
Well, my mom was very cool with me moving in over here. I won't go into any of the details of what she said, since people read this page, but she was right on. My mommy is smart.. all my sister said was that "why don't you live at home for free?".. now I just gotta tell my dad.
Feb 14, 200201:58
And I even get my own bathroom. Now, I just have to tell my parents I moved out. Anyone want a rabbit? I have a pet rabbit I hate. I'm gonna bring over my house plants, some furniture, and well, the rest of the essentials. Weird, weird.
Feb 12, 200222:09
Hmm... I'm dying my hair right now.. and it seems my fingers as well.. oh well... Today I worked, and I haven't eaten dinner yet, so I'm a bit hungry right now. Well.. the only thing scaring me about moving in with someone is telling my parents. But it'd be easier to tell them since his parents still live there. Its hard to explain 3 months going on ten years, but I think I'm the only one who needs to understand it. Anyways.
My weekend was enventful... saterday we went shopping up on melrose... then we went to a party,the sucky part? I got a flat tire on the way.. and had to drive all the way back to temecula on my spare. Sunday, got the tire fixed... and we went to seaworld. Monday, Wes did a set of nipple piercings, and we went to Denny's. I'm at home dying my hair, hes out to dinner with his family... I'm going over there after I finish here.. and I need to figure out some way to tell my parents.. my mom moved in with her current bf after a few months, and well, my sister is married to the guy she first fell in love with at age 16. Argh. I don't wanna here bitching from people... thats all.
SOme pics... The seal was just juggling instead of eating the fish... Flamingos are pretty, That kids got a MULLLETTTT! And Wes doesn't like stingrays. (I owe you still)
Feb 7, 200219:19
damn new store at work... I haven't got shit for hours now, and it sucks. But then again, I could use a vacation. I drove home from wes's slept, talked to the tax lady about my taxes.. did laundry and cleaned my room up in the process of doing laundry.. I'm freaking starving.. but I lack $$. I've been eating a ton of red meat since I starting eating it again, but I haven't been sick this winter.. hmm... I think I gained a lil weight from it too.. who knows.
Amber is driving me crazy.. shes my best freind and all... but her recent mood swing into the not-so-happy-amber is not distressing, but rather annoying. You can only listen to your friends whine about not being able to get dates (when they are fucking gorgegous) for so long until you want to strangle them.
She gets mad when I don't hang out with her.... but when we do hang out, I always have to figure out where to go, she may have one idea, but its only onbe, and its usually something only she'd enjoy. (like a reptile show or something). And we'll hang otu somewhere till about 9pm, the whole time she bitches she can't get a date. Well, perhaps you'd get a date if you stop bitching. being a girl, its easy to get dates. Good lord. Simple rules - be confident, without being snotty. Don't talk about your exs, your weight, or your crack addiction. Have a mind of your own, and be smart, yet, don't try and pick fights with your new date. And thats all ya gotta do. Trust me, I go through dates and bf's like toilet paper. (heh... j/k Wes.)
I'm getting back 450$ for my tax return.... that 450$ is going on my credit card thankyouvermuch... I have lots $$ still for my tattoo. I just need to find a design.
Soon as my laundry is done, I'm gonan get ready and go to Wes's.. hes sick, and we might be canceling our trip this weekend if he feels like crap still... I'm gonna go play nurse over there. We sent in some pics to bme... they are cute.

Waiting for my stupid books... blah.. I need to buy my school books. iam full.
Feb 2, 200211:41
I don't wanna go to work. Too damned early for work.
Stupid bf, I miss you and I heart you too.
(he'd better not start hating me again)
Feb 2, 200204:04
Work sucked tonite. I was forced to scrub the entire floor on a friday night. Sucks when I have to open tomarrow when I should be sleeping, but I have to stay till midnight, and I have to drive 40 minutes to get home because the freeway is closed. And I have to sleep in my cold bed all alone. When I'd much rather be with my bf, sleeping in, and waking up on a lazy saterday morning. Someone to make lattes, and such.
Callen got kicked out basically.. poor boys been fighting with his mom alot lately... today he says to me "thank you for being such a good freind" Hes had a rough month and I've been there for him after him and Katrina broke up, and been there to yell at him when he calls me to tell me hes done too much K. Argh. Either way. I'm glad to know he appreciates it.
Dorky bf... he should know I'm all for him. Understandable considering some of the crap hes had, but either way. I don't really say much on that subject tho. Feelings, (you know, the scary things get you hurt alot?) eh... its not that I have a hard time talking about them once you get me going. But I'm never first to say 'em. And well, when it comes to touching stoves, thats the one that if I touch it, and it burns me, I'm not likely to be touching it anytime soon.
Feb 1, 200212:30
Weee! Wes was all worried about our books we ordered.. they shipped today, AND I got a complimentry upgrade to UPS 3 day shipping, I still say it'll get here faster than his tax return. Either way, the books are on the way.
I have to work tonite and close, then open tommarow. That sucks since, I won't get to go out tonite with Wes. And I have to wait till I get off work. I rather enjoy lazy saterdays lounging around till we go out at night.
Jan 31, 200217:57
I need to go by my other store to get my scedule... blah. I don't wanan go to work. I think I shall eat a p'zone today. they aren't bad, and I'm fuckign starving and trying to save $$. We are going to san fran, and I'll have 75$ if I can manage to save some $$.
Random thoughts... I seem to date people that everyone else has crushes on. Its funny watching my bf play with girls calling him "baby" and making references like "I'm stealing her man" (you know, from the OTHER girl who had a crush on my bf too.) But you know, its kinda dumb. It just seems like a lack of respect when people know you two are dating. I never go after guys with girlfreinds. Its rather rude. Ah well. I never worry since well, there might be a reason I'm dating them.
Off to get ready for the salt mines. blah.

Jan 30, 200202:51
Didn't do a whole lot today... came home this morning, slept in.. talked to bf. Went out with Amber and Brenan to the black, which wasn't all that entertaining. Amber didn't want to go to temecula.. she wanted to make me watch her set up a fish tank. Brenan thankfully saved me from that. And his jacket saved me from the cold.. because it wasn't warm out tonite, mind you.
I have school tommarrow. And work. My new boss is excited about me coming over to his store, which is cool.
I spent a bit of time redoing my page. I was sick of looking at it. I don't care enough to make the custome layout.
I need to do my taxes. I want to go check out the tattoo artist Wes is going to.. she looks good, but I want to see more work.
Jan 28, 200202:49
Dude, I haven't slept at home since.... um, I think last sunday night. Kinda nice to be home, but then again, I will be gone tomarrow night, I have to clean up my part of the house I suppose before I leave, especially the area where my rabbit is, since she just makes a poopy mess.
We didn't do too much this weekend.. Marc came over friday... I kinapped Wes and made him run errands with me all day friday, and he even cooked dinner for me and my dad. I'm stealing his recipe for shrimp. We went back to Wes's and Wes and Marc played video games while I read and slept. Saterday I went to work, met them at Denny's.. all 8 of them, Char, Marc, Wes, Heather, Tony, ect... they took good pics which I wasn't there to see. Which, they had best send in to bme, or I'll hurt them.
Wes is getting his dreads, and of course I'm jelaous cause I want them. That, and something to do with a tattoo, and our timing. Hmm.. nevermind...
I don't like popcorn, but we got this badass popcorn maker at my house, and it makes the BEST fucking popcorn.
I have all sorts of stuff to do tommarrow... talk with my new boss, get paid, go otu to lunch with my mommy, drive to the boonies, ya know.
Time for bed.. curl up with a book since I don't have a body.
Jan 21, 200203:39
damn, I need to paint my toenails... I'm too damned lazy to do so tho. I'm fucking tired and I didn't get enough sleep last night, i wish I coulda layed in bed this morning for about 2 or so more hours. On top of that, my sister was painting the store all day so it smelled like paint, and she was making a goddam mess, and it was annoying me, and I have green paint on my arm too. Ah well, whatever.
This weekend was nice. Friday sucked since I had to work, then get to work saterday at 7:30am.. after closing, mind you.. but Saterday was nice, Angie and Johann came over to Wes' and we hung out in the spa. Spas rule. I'm glad I have one at my house too.
Tomarrow I'm going out with April, my area manager to discuss future plans, and to meet Rob, who is going to be my new boss. I'm going to miss my store alot.. but if I have to leave, I might as well make the best of it.. err, by letting them train me to be an assistant manager, which is good for future jobs, and a good oppertunity in terms of $$.
And after that, me and Wes are going to the movies by my work, and we have to stop in and bother my sister at work though first.
Since Wes has been so sweet, I might as well just rant a lil myself. I never tell him this, but when I talk behind his back to my freinds, its always nice stuff. All in all, I think the nicest thing about him is the fact that hes not freakin' retarded. I can take him out, and he talks to my freinds, and well, is kinda witty sometimes too. I guess what it comes down to is, he takes up most my free time, but in a good way. And well, I don't have to worry about him. Hes got lots of shit figured out, so I don't have to play mommy with him, instead and I get to play girlfriend. Kinda nice sometimes.
Jan 18, 200217:41
time for a nap.. Today was my last day at Togo's.. Karen wants to see if I'll work there mebbe one day a week.. perhaps, if they gave me decent hours... like a prepping shift so I can work more than 2 hours and feel like it wasted my day.
I don't wanna close tonight, then open and have a meeting at 8am in the morning. I bought my rabbit food, she is happy. Anyone want a pet rabbit? Shes boring and stupid, but real sweet.
The 74 is a pretty lil road. I don't mind taking it.. I want to go and take a nap now. Goodnight.
Jan 17, 200203:31
We went house shopping today.. Me, Wes, Amber and Gary went to go look at the house out in Lake Elsonore.. all I can say is that we were pleasently suprised. Yard needs a tad bit of work.. but hell, its hella nice for the price.
That pic of the coffee maker is absolute proof that I don't live at home.... Amber says, "would you like some penicillian with your coffee?"
I need to save $$ for moving out.. I have a bit saved for my tattoo.. I want the goddam tattoo. 6 months.. need to aquire a lil more furniture, and we need a fridge and microwave. Being ghetto is no prob for me, living with only my dad for the bast four years has helped me get used to the ghettoness of it all.
I should be going ot bed.. I fell asleep at Wes's, while him and Gary played gamecube. I think nighty night is a good idea. And that blair witch lookin' pic, thats the house.
Jan 16, 200213:03
Ack... I got another chest piece idea.. same theme... just another idea to go along with it... argh, frustrated even thinking about having someone draw my idea.
Callen sent me the email about the party I want to go to... it sounds good.. no TBA's or crap like that, which someone implied it'd be full of. Amber wants to go.. so....
Today we go and look at the house... and I found out yesterday that Jamie would be my area coach if I transfer to Corona... which means I'm fucking gar-run-teed a job out there... with decent money too, since he loooves me. And he lovvvves my sister. He writes her all sorts of dirty emails she says.... heheh. I suspect she hooked up with him when her and Mike were apart.. she won't say any details tho. Either way, I'm set on a job out there.
:::warning!!! IAM rant:::
Peoples diary entries annoy me. I'm sure my diary entries annoy other people. People whine a fucking lot. People also make life plans that they never go through with, then fucking whine about it. People who can't even plan what to cook for dinner the next day. They bitch and whine about their SO's.. they bitch about their ex's. They bitch about their jobs, but don't do a goddam thing about it. They just up and quit one day (or get fired) and then bitch about having no money. Fuck. Get a new job before you quit. Put two weeks notice in even if you can't fucking stand another minute of working there. If someone as impatient and bitter as me can... the rest of the fucking world should be able to as well. I hate my shithole job just as much as everyone else. Food service manangement is about as crappy as one can get. BUT, I try and make the best of it. Throwing boxes at my employees heads, making dough aprons - then cooking and wearing them, making fake deliveries to send my least favorite drivers on, only to piss them off when they discover the address doesn't exist, and generally getting revenge with bodily fluids. Oh, such is life. :)
Jan 15, 200212:37
breakfast burrito
I'm not a big fan of breakfats burritos, but Del Tacos are pretty good. I recommend them. I'm seriously trying to save $$ right now, and the fact that eh, I'm broke isn't helping. All my bills always come at one time. 2 cell phone bills, my credit card bill, my car payment and my school fees. All today. Yes, its not cool. And I seriously need an oil change.
But I still have tattoo money. Speaking of... Trying to get my design out of my head is not fun. I can't draw for shit. And I can explain anything physical very well. Emotional is easy on paper. Yes, it does sit around inside my head asking.. "pink or spagetti?".. Sometimes I feel like I speak a different language, than say, oh everyone else.. and it can get very frustrating. And it can get very frustrating to the people around me, when they are asking me to explain, and all I can say is "I don't know." When I do know, and I don't know how to say it, or when I *definatly* know how to say it, and saying it isn't always the best idea for either party... argh.
On a lighter note... we are going to go and look at the house wensday... I'm way excited about that. It may be ghetto, but its not living with parents. And that sounds fine by me.
I'm rather tired today, I think it was getting all that nice sleep for 2 days, then not getting all that nice sleep for 2 days. Wes's latte this morning is not doing its job.
We had a fun weekend.. go read his page for all the details. I even dyed Charlottes hair, which turned out really nice, I used a filler first which really seemed to help. Rarely did I see cosmo students using fillers, when the hair was basically begging for one. Callen wants me to do his hair now. Amber wants it cut, and so does Richard. I need to make time for haircuts galore... Wes has his gyno table, and Erica needs a salon chair.. we are set for the home business.
I wanna go back to bed. I am going to my moms tonight to see her... it should be nice.. We were chatting the other night, and I dunno what came up, and she pretty much understands me for who I am, way the hell better than my sister does, and better than my dad, and at one point I'm like "do any of my freinds have normal families?" And she says "well, no..." then shes goes off on me being suited for social work. Well duh mom.
My room seems almost unfamilar. Heh. Funny how that all works. The thought of sleeping next to someone and not having to fight the 91 freeway every morning sounds very nice right now. I'm gonna go take a nap before work. 'Night.
Jan 11, 200212:07
Heh, poor Wes, hes included in my plans, but I like, don't ever tell him till later. Like the plan where we (as in, me, amber and gary) need another roomate for the 800$ a month rent. Yeah, Wes was like, included in that plan, except he didn't know it yet. Hehe...
Today I only have to work 2 hours, and I have saterday off.. its like, fucking rad. I've had 2 days off in a row quite often this month. I loves it. I dunno how my scedule wll be at the store I'll be transferring to, I know I will get a lot of hours, but I'm not sure what scedules the other managers work.. that store is open an hour later that ours, so it kinda sucks on one hand I'll get outta work later if I close, but then again, I will have more hours.
There is quite a difference between NT's and NF's (which I knew, stupid), which was apparent last night. Not in a bad way, mind you, just apparent, thats all. Me and Brenan always have our myersbriggs conversations. I miss that guy terribly. I have his paycheck too.
Weeeeee... I get to go to work soon, mebbe take a nap, and drive in traffic to Wes's. Not sure what we gots planned tonight, but we'll find something. Damn this no $$ bullshit, lets see how monday is.. and what I plan to do with my paycheck.
Jan 10, 200217:09
*yawn*
Weeee... I called and cancelled my old AOL account my sister uses.. that saves me a bit of $$ every month... I'm excited about changing stores, weird. Its 11 miles closer to home, and I'm gonna ask about transferring in 6 monthes, if we (ei- me moving out) ended up moving like we might... plans...plans..plans.
Last night me and Wes tried hooking Tab and Amber up again, but Amber was practically sitting on MY lap, good lord woman, shes retarded when it comes to getting guys. Good lord, guys are not that hard to figure out, they are goddam easy as hell compared to girls. We watched Human Traffic which was fairly entertaining and half of Scarface. Amber didn't want to sleep in the guest bedroom, so I had to drive home sleepy as fuck to sleep in my bed, which as comfortable as it is, is fucking lonely... I don't even have a steggie in my bed. My room almost doesn't seem like my room anymore considering I'm never home.
I gets friday and saterday off.. which is nice, since I haven't had nights off like that since like, forever. Someones been acting all sweet as of late, its almost scary... ::gives boy the suspicious squinty eye:: Hehe..& I have yet to hear any lil' realizations...hehe- not the ones where I'm getting dumped, reading comprehension, I tell ya.
Argh, I think I shall takes me a nap before I gotta get up and work again.

You have a very simple view of life, and it takes a lot of convincing to get you to break your routine. You seem to overreact over petty things, and your one track mind keeps you from focusing in on your main problem: the fact that you never let go of the past. You're too busy thinking about what used to be that you don't notice the wonderful things you have right in front of you. You fail to appreciate your interesting adventures because of the broken record playing in your head: "I'm not even supposed to be here today!"
fuck this hair dye. I need to buy what I usually used.. punky color. And I need to experiment and rebleach again to see if it holds better.. that would be odd. I think it may be true since the front is holding better than the back.
The real point? I had inspiration in the shower as to what kinda chest piece I want. Oh yes. The shower is always full of ideas. Its a silly kinda idea... but way cute, and well, me. Weeee... now I'm gonna go to work and make crappy sketches for my tattoo artist (who I haven't picked yet). Rock.
Jan 8, 200212:39
I hate traffic.
I haven't been home since friday morning... weeee.. my room is still nice and clean, and so's me bathroom.. as someone pointed out, my room stays clean because I'm at their house all the time. I need a new CD case, mine is way super old, and it only holds about 25 cds.. and since a certain someone bought me a ghettofied cd player for my car, I will be able to actually listen to more than just my tapes. (tapes of my fave cds to pretend I have a cd player).
This weekend was slightly eventful. Me and Wes drove out to Phoenix to visit Dan.. I got a bruised knee, was photographed only wearing a towel on my head, rolled someones hand up in my window, and drove 900 miles or so roundtrip. We went to this bar serving penny drinks, yes folks, drinks for .01$... they stockpiled.... and half the group got fucking smashed, I tried to pretend fight Dan, and slipped on some spilled crap on the floor. Thus, bruising my knee. Me and Wes were tired and hungry by about 10pm since we really hadn't eaten since the day before. Dan refused to leave, he was drunk, and well, pretty obnoxious, but at least entertaining. We took Dans roomate with us and crashed out at about 11:30pm or so. We chilled a bit the next day, and made our way to San Diego on our way home. We bailed out on the world famous date shakes from Dateland... mebbe next weekend Wes.
We went to Hillcrest in SD which I haven't been to before... it was way cute, we'll have to go back when we have $$ and more stuff is open.
Weeeee, I'll have my tattoo money soon, still haven't quiet decided what exactly I want yet.. I have a few ideas floating around.. nothing settled on. I have more ideas for a 1/4 sleeve than a chest piece.
All in all, it was a fun weekend, even if half of it was spent driving... my navigator didn't get us lost, opened sodas and candy for me (so I don't kill us trying) and bought a cd player and brought cd's so the drive didn't seem too long. He's even fun to talk to sometimes. Road trips are fun. Must have more road trips. I like driving, because then I'm not bored during long trips.
Now I have to go and work ALL day. Luckily I gots friday AND saterday night off. And I close sunday night, rock.
Jan 4, 200218:31
goodbad news
I think the guy at IHOP recognizes us now. Hes an odd one. Damn IHOP too expensive for crappy pancakes. I talked to my dad this morning when I got home, and he said not to sell my car, and 21st century insurance sent me soemthing in the mail about switching insurance.. they are way cheap, but you have to have a good driving record to qualify, who knows if mine is good enough, one ticket and acceident.. but I went to traffic school. He says things will work out.
I dyed my hair today, way bright pink now, it rules. Damien at work is trying to manipulate everyone into taking sides with him or me. We will see about this. Fuck that guy. Well, I guess I can feel kinda sorry for him, hes FUCKING ugly. And his gf is too. I told Kelly hed run from her if she hit on him in a bar. Hes a goddam dork too. I can't even repeat what kinda dorky stuff he was telling me yesterday, about his date. But it was like, embarrassing to hear it.
I reregstered for school. Somebody I know needs to do the same. Because I know he hates his job as much as I hate mine. I can sign for my classes the 8th. I am dumb in math. Argh. I hate having to even think about taking a math class. I may just take few night classes.. who knows... monday night philosophy, wensday night ethics and a class ABOUT jobs in human services. I have uh, 4 days to decide. Dammit all to hell! Hehe. I need to take classes again, or I'll go batty just working because I hate, hate, hate my job. That is all.
Jan 3, 200203:36
I am 61-80% Ghetto
It must be the part about my car costing more than my house.
Erica is getting her vacation hours on her next paycheck. I have to use them in the next 4 months, and I've taken 2 vacations without using them so far. In 4 months I get 40 more vacation hours so, I guess thats kinda cool. Linda Lee Tobin rocks the house, but shes expensive.. who knows. I may just stick to her... I'll see who else might be honoured to put ink on me.

crap crap crap
Well, I'm cleaning the kitchen and well, my dad comes home and says to me.. "I have some bad news" he tells me Kurt is quitting, and that he is losing the Audio Technica line, which in $$ terms it means hes basically losing half his job. Ack. All I can say to him is "if there is anything I can do, just tell me." The only real expense he pays for of mine, is medical and car insurance. I think I may sell my bug and look for cheaper car insurance, because I do not want him to have to pay for that as well... I may need to get a better paying job... possibility of moving if we can't afford the house we are in.. and its things like this that make me crazy. I don't stress because my life always works itself out. But it still owrries me a lil bit. I'm hardly ever home anymore... half of my nights are spent in Murrieta, and half my waking hours are spent at work. Either way, plans formulate in my head. Argh.
Ah, and I was kinda going for Paul. John was the smartest Beatle, me and Paul have the same bday, so I'm a bit partial to Paul. Erica says listen the "Birthday" and you'll see it was written about me. And if you haven't seen Hard Days Night, you are missing out on John's comedy.. "I declare this bridge now open!"
Christian and Josh came over last night... they called me and wanted me to hang out, and woke me up... I told them I was sleeping.. but then, an hour later they call.. "Hey, open yer door.." Argh. They came over, we talked shit on Christian's penis, and Josh made fun of his asianess. I complimented Christians hat, and he just looked at me funny, and I said "No really, its a nice hat." Christian says I'm "sarcastic by default". Heh.. I guess I don't notice myself doing it.. Josh is a nice kid... we went out on a date last um, april or so, and it was fun and all, we went to the block, had a nice dinner.. but one major fault, the dudes christian, not cool brenan christian, but not fundementalist, but still has like, jesus paraphenilia. He used to go to raves alot, he took christian to nocturnal and in turn christian took me to monster massive.. Erica feels bad since after they went on that nice date and josh was like, in love with her, she ignored him because the xtian-factor. And I didn't have any xtian freinds to set him up with. Ah well.
I just ordered 6 12ga needles off BME.. we'll see how they are.. someone has a dolphin now, so I might as well go for the inner labia that I've wanted for years now...

New Years you say...? Well, We went to Together as One, or as I'd like to call it, Together-too-much-goddam-money-for-its-own-good. After having like, theee shittiest day at work on New Years eve, I promptly got the FUCK outta there and made my way down to Wes's. My day was going like, super bad, (even the deposit slot at the bank wouldn't open for me!) so I was basically expecting the night to be shitty as well... which well, it wasn't suprisingly.. I even left my car payment cash outside my car, just thinking anything bad that can happen, will. But, eh it didn't.
We got there around 10:30pm, and being as tired as we were, we left at 1:30am or so. Got to see some damned good dancers, and got a midnight kiss, saw some of Wes's freinds (at a party you say? No way? Heh.) and went home to catch about 4 hours of sleep before I had to open on New Years fucking day. Work was slow, I cleaned out the walk in and freezer and organized both... Kelly my driver was good to work with instead of Brian. He brought me starbucks coffee in the morning and a cookie from subway at lunch. Kelly's cool, he laughs at my silliness.
Resolutions. Well, I hardly ever make those. Well, I didn't have a typical resolution (ei. diet or whatnot), but I guess you could put it that way, too. I hardly ever take the advice I get, even if I know its right. I only take the advice I want to take, the advice that goes along with my own impulses.. I'm impatient as hell mind you. 2 weeks can seem like months to me if I have to wait for anything. (like I have to wait 2 more days for a haircut, dammit) This time, I actually took it, and well, of course they were right. All of 'em.

I had at least 4 weird dreams last night.. I remember the bits and pieces of them... its like I know what a few mean, but the rest? WTF? Not pleasent. I don't exactly like waking up pissed off. Well, at least the last dream was getting a huge new room with a fireplace and trying to figure out how to put my furniture inside.
In and Out calls. Must get food.
Dec 30, 200104:29
fuck my job
I hate my job. I hate the people working at my job. I hate 65 year olds who can't get real jobs, alcoholic, with gambling addictions, who want to blame me that they didn't ask for a break. I feel real sorry for you. Um, you just made 130$ in tips.. riiiiight. Do not fuck with me at work. I will make annoying you and making your life miserable my first and foremost duty at work. I also don't like scary foriegn dudes who call em from their homes to make sure I wasn't mad at them. I will prolly end up dead from some foreign dude stalking me. 50$ says he will prolly get fired. Because I just KNOW hes psycho. Thats the type I attract, you know. I hate pizzahole. I can either get a crap waitressing job and make decent money, or go with plan b, and stay at my shithole and give myself a raise. Hmm.. decisions, decisions.
On a better note, I read a great lil article todaaaay. Best article I've read in weeks. Educational. Puzzle pieces fit nicely, but haven't quite got it down. Article looked like whats been floating around in MY head, suprisingly in a way, but it made perfect sense after I read it. I wish Brenan were online, he'd find it hilarious. I must speak with him soon, he is the best. On another note, Ros left me a xmas card and she forgave me for making offhand remarks when I was merely joking. I will invite them out to coffee soon.
Nobody is home when I get home, well except the dog. But hes useless, despite what Mark and Wes may think. I hate sleeping alone. Even if I get woken up a million times a night by snoring and blanket thieves. Its better than waking up at 4am next to nobody, and a bright red numbers reminding you that work is only 4 hours away. Even when my freinds spend the night, we always slept in the same bed... I gots a nice size bed, two people can easily share it without even noticing you are next to someone. But, I like sleeping and waking up next to someone, freind or lover or whatnot. Heh, my dogs used to always sleep in my bed when my mom still lived in our big house. it was me, and two silly dalmations. They kept the bed warm, covered it is fur and stole my spot when I got up to pee. I miss my doggies. Well, I guess its time for bed, light incense (Erica loves the incense you know) and curl up with a book.
Dec 27, 200117:22
Sleepy... last night we went to hollywood, which is NO fun to park in. This, why I hate driving there. Char was kind enough to drive, I was kind enough to buy menthols. "I don't think you neeed anymore doses." True dat. Having Jamie Meiner's flashbacks. Amber would understand. Cute lil coffee shop. But I live in OC.. we are full of those. Downtown Fullerton. Reminds me, I need to figure out my classes. I wish this crappy way of using napster worked. It kinda does... but.. not so great. Aww well. what can you say, tis free.
Dec 26, 200119:48
oh what DEALS!
The mall was of course, fucking insane. But shit, it was well worth it. I got two shirts, AND a pair of jeans at the gap for 55$. The shirts... oh, those are merino wool mind you. I even bought a turtleneck. (good gawd, it seems thats all thats being sold) Its not that I have anything against the way they look.. its how they FEEEL. Yeah, like, I'm choking. But the soft merino makes up for it, and besides, I looked too damn good in it to refuse it for the price. TWO bra's at victoria's secret.. which is good deal since I only buy my bras from there... (they fit well and are made pretty well consdidering what I do to clothes)... I got a pair of jack purcells, new foundation (clinque counter), eyeshadow and lipgloss (MAC), and liquid liner from skinmarket. I got some shit for my bathroom from pier 1 and soap balls. I know you want a soap ball. My head wasn't feeling nice when I left the mall.
Now I'm gona go rinse out me hair.
Dec 26, 200113:05
weeee!
Xmas was good.. no family drama... got good stuff... we played the present exchange game with grandmas gifts tho.. I traded my mom my purse for this jacket she got that she'll never wear again. I got lots of pajamas (three pairs to be exact)... 2 good cd's (thank you CDnow wishlist) 3 books (thank you Amazon.com wishlist) and lots more stuff I'll refrain from making you jealous by listing (like the shirt Char got me). I got some cash, which, will go promptly into my savings account (I have two bank accounts, one I do NOT touch, which is for my car payment). I would like to save up enoough $$ for a new nice tattoo. I've actually got enough saved up for a decent one (I saved money for my car payment, think I was was going to go back to cosmo school).. but I would like a chest piece, and I would like to have enough to get it done in a few sessions, none of that adding month-by-paycheck crap.
I'm going to go to the mall today to test out a few of those gift certificates, then go BACK to Muiretta, and THEN to LA tonite. I need clothes, and new makeup. Ohh the effort of clothes shopping. First is actually FINDING my size.... 1 or 3 depending... and then trying to see if it'll fit me, which it usually doesn't. Argh. Clothes shopping is an exercise in disappointment. I have a 10$ gift receipt for skinmarket. Erica loves the skinmarket... if you haven't been, You must go. I need a haircut, I can't afford one. Ah well. I shall survive a few more weeks. Tattoos are perminent.. must save for tattoos.
Dec 25, 200101:44
blah
Xmas is almost over.... Yeah! after tomarrow, all this christmasssy crap will be DONE for. We played scrabble tonite at my sisters house, twas fun as all hell. Damned Mike with his 43 point pez/ex... argh. Does french scrabble have more x's, worth less points? I think so. Erica says Wes should play scrabble. He would dominate. I'm surrounded by inlawish family. I luckily like them... prolly about as much as my family, since they are less insane than my family.
I am tired. its time for bed. I can't wait to give everyone their presents. Present giving. I love it. Present getting is fun too... but I really get more excited giving. Blah. The End.
Dec 24, 200118:13
fluffy clouds of who the hell cares
I went to Togos for lunch, and chatted with Reina, she was off when I came in and sat outside with me. Shes cool as fuck, and tough as fuck, but insecure as fuck, too. I wish she'd understand that shes totally cute, and not stupid... argh... insecure people make me insane. If you tell them you think they are cute, they think you are lying or trying to be nice, and if you tease them about being ugly, they take it to heart. I had to deal with 50 insecure girls in cosmo.. they talked shit all day long about EVERYONE. It got old. Quick. After about two months I just starting reading the newspaper and ignoring them. The worst was Andrea.. she tried acting super tough, and insulted everyone saying they were ugly or whatever.. but when she wasn't bitching about other people, she was whining about herself..
Everyone insecure in some ways or another, but jesusfuckingchrist, some people just overcompensate for it. I'm a pretty damn confident girl, (even if it doesn't always seem that way since I can be pretty quiet (aka- private) & sensitive at times)... I know my strengths and weaknesses, and well, I don't dwell on it. I like the way I look, I'm certainly not the best looking girl in the world, but hell, I think I'm good looking. I'm pretty smart, I understand things, even if I can't explain it very well, I don't verbalize well, and my memory doesn't remember as much as I'd like it too... well, its more like, its in the long term memory, I just need a good clue to get it out... (oceanic memory). And I don't feel the need to show off. I do things for ME, not for anyone else. I didn't get my tattoo to impress anyone but myself, but I take compliments (prefer tips). Reasons like that are prolly why I don't own a shitload of clothes (like most girls), I put on my orange top today, and I say "hey this would look cute with a..." but then, I realize, that would take far too much effort into finding the skirt it would look good with. Apathy vs Ignorance. Its not that I don't know (ignorance), its that I just don't care (apathy). Same goes for makeup... I don't ever want to spend more than ten minutes on my makeup... 25 for hair... because shit, I can do hair. And I can prolly do your hair too, but, if its going to take more than 20 minutes, oh hell no. There isn't anyone out there to impress, thats worth more than 1 hour of my time making myself cute for them. Heh. Whilst eating, my mom would always say to me, "What are you going to do on a date?" (me, eating, oh its not cute... not cute at allllll...) And I always say "Well, if he cares that much, I prolly shouldn't be dating him, eh?"
It's girls like Andrea that ruin it for the rest of us.
Today was my lucky day. Karma smiles upon me. I went to Tower and bought 2 last gifts, a calander for my dad, and the dave matthews video dvd collection for my sister (she loves the dave matthews), and I got Massive Attack - Mezzanine for myself. (reminds me of someones parents going out of town, spending the night, and getting blasted stoned, and sleeping in a cold bed trying to chase a jack russel outta the room, naked) And guess what? The 20$ gift card I got? Well, looks like it was infact a 40$ gift card. WTF? That rules. And this cd is good too. :)
Dec 24, 200102:58
last notes -
iam is addicting. I hate subversive bs, and inside jokes I understand when I'm not supposed to. Today was productive, I got lots of shit done. I will do the laundry if it means I don't have to smell it rotting on the goddam floor, heh. My cell is wacky. Very, very wacky. Sometimes I just say "ah well, fuck it, whatever..." My boss (aka sister) will ask me "when will you stop dying your hair purple and other weird colors?" and I will say "when I stop looking so damned good with purple hair." Singles is the best. It reminds me that I will prolly get married when I'm like 30. Heh. Eddie Vedder is a funny moviestar. I remember being 13. I recommend - http://205.188.234.34:8002 pixies/jimi/radiohead/bad religion/modest mouse/soundgarden/william burroughs/nofx/dead milkmen .
And I feel content as hell.
Dec 24, 200101:46
looking too happy for my own good.
Well, Katie and Amber came over.. I got pajamas from the gap from Katie.. and I got my quilt Amber made yesterday.. (she meade me a quilt, isn't that the sweetest thing ever?) We chatted a bit, and I rebleached Ambers hair and put the color in... her hair turned lots of funky colors when I bleached it.. I dunno is it was the leftover dye, or relaxer in her hair, either way, it lifted rather quickly. she left with the dye on so i have yet to see how it turned out... it was pink in the front and purple in the back...
I did my hair too.. I bleached out my tips on the long layers (I have an undercut, if anyone knows what the hell I'm talking about).. then mixed pink and purple special effects up... funny, my hair took a while to lift, and the virgin parts barely lifted... after putting the color on, and rinse, styling and whatnot, I decided to put some "highlights" in the front too.. I ran out of my dye and had to use some of amber... one streak is still pinker than the others, but I'm far too lazy to fix it right now.
Christian told me the story of the shrooms.. he was having some great closed eye visuals involving angels and crap like that. Cool.
Dec 23, 200119:10
and then, the angel was taking me to heaven....
Somehow I made it throught the day, Friday and now I'm on vacation for another few days. Friday night was uneventful... we were busy at work, but not too busy. Callen had some good news to tease me with.. but as me and Christian say "I'll believe it when I see it."
Saterday I got to sleep in, and me, Wes, Char and Mark went to Ambers party, which was uneventful, since nobody actually showed up until after we left. We then went to Spencers party, which, well, after being the only sober person in the place, it got pretty boring for me.. because then I was tired and hungry.. and those 3 combined are a bad combo. When I get hungry, I get fucking mean. Yes, tired, hungry and sober = no fun. Plus!- drunk guys trying to feel up my leg, even AFTER I was introduced as someones gf. And being repeatedly asked about my sex life after trying to politely refuse to answer... Argh. My job (thankfully for them, and thankfully for my stress level) makes me patient with stupid people, when I really want to kick their teeth in. At least seeing Terry's mangina was entertaining. Oh yeah, and the part where they slammed the door on the cops. Hahaha... In the drivethru, my car was then, devirginized. Christmas puke, red and white and smelly. I knew I got that protection package for a reason! Heh.
Now then, Amber is coming over since I have to do her hair... bleach, and dye or some shit. I dunno. Katie is coming over and we are exchanging gifts... I'm going to do my hair too, since I'm going insane having the same cut and color for months. When well, I usually change cuts everytime I get it done, and redo the color every few months. So, thus, I shall be doing my hair as well. I want more BIG tattoos, I want xmas to be over, I want it to be New Years for chrissakes. Ah well... I'm off to do my hair... :)
Dec 21, 200116:03
1 more day
Blah.. my sister called and shes allready at 1100$ in sales... she had to shut down the phones for 25 minutes just to catch up.. shes missing her normal morning driver.. who just about cracked.. I feel bad because I know Brian has health problems, and if he doesn't take time off, HE will have either a heart attack or a stroke.. his blood pressure was around 195... ack! Callen and her were ready to walk out this morning. I'm gonna go take a shower, and then go to work...
I got more of my bills paid off... I've had to pay 290$ worth of cell phone bills in 2 months.. oh, see thats where all my money has gone. My vacation starts tommarrow, five days off. Yes thank gawd.
Dec 21, 200103:03
not perfect - just human
Tonite at work wasn't tooooo bad. Thank GAWD. I felt like I was playing tapper (remember the game, the one with beer?) at 9:30pm when I had to cut two big orders coming out of the oven. Aw well, I got out of there at 10:40pm.. not too bad.
Leave it to your closet freinds to remind you of that you are going STRAIGHT TO HELL. Heh.. Amber and me were chatting about this.. she knows 2 of my 3 BIG secrets.. she was there to witness one (and my karmic debt has been paid off on that).... and she knows the other one because I couldn't lie to her about it (I will get fucked in the ass for this). So, today, as I'm doing my best to forget about being retarded.. she says "So, today I was thinking about the blah,blah-blah thing..." We got into an discussion about how everyone is retarded.. but her. Me and her mom were just laughing saying shes boring... (not boring, just doesn't ever endanger her life as much as the rest of us).... better to life and regret or never live at all? Hmm... ah well.. Careless? Oh no, I say Carefree... hehe
Saterday is Amber's party... shes been trying to plan it out.. I might as well go (since I allready invited my freinds to go)is a hotel party, in a decent room, one of the nice apartment sized ones... I get to bring my stash of alcohol.... which, is damned lot for someone who doesn't drink... "I don't drink, alcohol.. I don't smoke.. uh, ciggerettes." Hahaha... damned her. She knows me TOO well! As much as I dont tell her, I appreciate her more than she'll ever know. Even if she kicks me when I'm down sometimes, she means the world to me. She knows me better than anyone else, and still loves me despite me being well, retarded. We grew up together, we will have been freinds ten years this fall. Ten years, junior high, high school, ect... Shes met all my flavors of the week, and can name them IN order. Hehe... What are friends for? I love that girl.
You are The Smiths: You were a peripheral player in the eighties, people thought it was cool to be your friend, but they never really wanted to spend time with you. Go watch Twin Peaks reruns.
Dec 20, 200117:08
lettuce in my pockets
12 hours of sleep last night recharged my battery a lil too full.. heh-heh. My other job at Togo's besides pretending to work, is to annoy Lacy and Steven. Gawd damn does that girl ask for it sometimes... Tuesaday, she made some comment about the donuts tasting funny, but still liking them.. I just said "nevermind.." which means I prolly shouldn't say what I'm thinking, but silly her, she asked "what?" I said "ooooh nothing...." and she was insistant... "Well, same goes for for blowjobs, but your bf sure seems to like them." She just looks at me, and says "I'm sorry I am not as perverted as you are all the time..!" (oh gawd, I'm bad when I'm around Katie) The best part tho? Her bf works there, and just laughed when I said it. Then today, they are playing the stupidiest crap on the radio, jinglebells sung by barking dogs... I say as I walk to the back "why the hell do they have to play this crap, do people think its cute?" And OF COURSE Lacy says "well, I do, but thats because I guess I'm an animal lover" Tempting to say- "Sure you love animals, thats why you eat meat?" Oh but I didn't.. Sarcasm and Lacy... bad combo. Oh well.
Callen emailed me the info on the party hes all excited about. Ooooh, oooh, I'm all excited now too, its in febuary... it sounds like its gonna be freakin' rad. Buts thats all I can say.. since its a SECRET. Well, not really, but he says "PS- be a dear and don't fwd this to anyone, okay? okay."
Brenan came over last night to get his paycheck and we chatted for a bit. Good lord, that boy is smart! But still dumb! Him and Ros, what craziness.. I was not excited about them dating in the first place.. and now I watch as he gets hurt over and over. Ros needs a therepist, not a bf. Oh well, she has both, but still. Poor Brenan, luckly hes rather patient and knows when things get bad enough. he'll leave. Well, I hope so. I do not like seeing my freinds get hurt. Grrrrr.... Ah well.
Tonight will prolly suck at work. Busy because of the rain. Blah.
Dec 19, 200121:39
train wrecks and let downs
Argh, stupid craphole puter, making me start over my diary entry. Anyways, work was kinda shitty, did I say kinda shitty, I meant it fucking sucked. We did 700$ in three hours, when we normally do like 200$. Blah... after it was all over... I had a terrible headache.. and I was super duper tired. To top it off.. Callen calls to ask about his scedule, and proceeds to tease me by saying "Oh me, well I'm just laying on my bed in my boxers, haven't showered or shaved yet today, watching this new anime DVD... well, I better let you get back to WORK." Blah, some people just have the life, work 20 hours a week and make enough to spend and play.
I read an interesting article in Readers Digest (gawd knows it wasn't MY RD) about the brain and god... interesting stuff.. short article, it was almost more about mystisism... well, it was. Not Almost. it mentions einstein and thoughts on unexplainable/rational. Well either way, it was a good lil article. Makes me want to do acid, or something. Heh.
I can't wait until New Years, not because I have anything big planned, I may be going to together as one since a few of my freinds are.. gives me something to do instead of the crappy new years I had last year. But rather since all this xmas crap is over. I love Christmas as much as anyone else.. but I get more stressed I think. Well, I know. Ah well, after a few intense weeks of insanity... its all over. Oh thank gawd.
Damien says "its not that you do anything wrong, its that you don't do anything right." Hah. Reprocity and all that crap. Good gawd do I hate being underestimated. Yes, I can run this store without your help. If I ask for it, its because I can't do things without help, its because you may want to do things YOUR way. People never get me right. Me and Amber were discussing this friday.. If I say something about myself, its true to fact, I don't say something about myself to look better or to impress. But then again, I don't say alot, and people assume. And they always assume the wrong thing. le sigh.... Ah well, I get me. :) And I always suprise them in the long run... so, whatever. :)
On a lighter note - I shaved my legs today.
Dec 19, 200101:23
Today was a productive day.... went to work, went shopping, got thermals so I don't freeze to death this winter... god knows I don't have a decent jacket... I'm allready tired and its only 10:30pm, I shall be going to bed soon.. gotta open tommarrow.. blah. We got a xmas tree... I was like "dammit, this one looks good to basically the first one we saw... I finished wrapping my xmas presents... and did laundry, cleaned my room, cleaned out the car, and cleaned the kitchen.. ooh, and got milk for coffee. And stamps. And went to the bank. Yeah, thrilling.
Rob finally called me, I haven't heard from him since he quit the rancho store... Damien called me again, I was having fun being facetious, he wondered what I wanted for xmas, odd... who knows. We were talking about him buying me xmas presents oh like, in 1998... it was a list and all we could remember was "underwear, no thong." haha... He almost sounds emotionally mature, its kinda weird. I guess going into the military can have some benefits for people... hmm... we'll see in a few years. I also saw Matt Hewelitt at Sports Chalet.. that guy scares me... he was like, in love with me. Well, at least she stalked me... he asked me, "do you still live in the same place?" I said "no." The neighborhood we were in was interesting, the kids were pretty close, in a weird band of misfits stranded in suburban hell kinda way. And tehn, to top my day off, Brenan came by for his paycheck, which I didn't grab because my sis took them and wasn't handing them out. Hes the best counsler I've ever encountered... I miss working with him... he had to go quit and go back to my old store, damn him.
I read Shannons post on the cobm... I've heard the thoughts on why he left.. but either way, if its because of personal infighting, what it does come down to is Shannon realizes two things... spirituality is deeply personal, and our need for fellowship. We all want others to accept us and for us to accept ourselves... Churchs are formed for fellowship, the solidifing of ideas, and the "spreading of ideas".. and somewhere along those lines.. the intentions get lost. Its unfortunate because I think fellowship is important to acceptance... damned humans and our damned social-ness. Heh. Either way, Churchs, and religious texts and whatever gets you to understand your spirituality should be seen as a tool, not the ultimate means to an end. Either way, my brain is too tired to think right now. I think I'm gonna go to bed soon.
Dec 17, 200100:54
Must sleep....
I am super tired, still up from my 4 hours a sleep, and 5 the night before.
Yesterday Me, Wes and Charlotte went to go see their friends band play at some bar... I had bar coffee, bar coffee is always the best. Heh... We then went to their freinds after party... I was super sleepy, and wes was doing a find job sitting on me as I tried to sleep on a lovechair. :) I feel alseep on the way home on Wes.
Lucky Bastard was busy sleeping when I had to leave at 8:30am (mind you we finally went to bed at 4:30am). I bet he slept in while I went to work meetings from hell.
Yeah, so uh, today was no fun.. hehe.. we had to play a game called the disappering driver. WTF? It consisted of a "mystery" of your delivery driver leaving the store on a dispatch and not coming back for an hour an a half... where could she be? (and what stores have female drivers anyways?) We had to go and ask questions to get "clues".. "Well, can we call the customer and ask if she dropped off the order?" "No we can't call." Or some crap like that. Well either way.. the game ended with the area coach being bastards to us (which is WAY unusual in a meeting like this) because we were too retarded to figure out the "mystery." The game we played should have been called "semantics". THEN.. we had to do more game playing!! It was role playing and we had to pretend one of us was an observer, a cook, and the manager... "why are the pizza's not being made to spec?" the cook is supposed to respond with somethign along the lines of "but the customers don't really care".. but I interjected "say - you pay me enough to care."... heh.
Either way, I ended up speaking up and answering most the questions asked and "sharing", so the area coaches April (my coach) and Javier teaching were still impressed, heh.
Then I went to my moms... we chatted and watched the simpsons...
Dec 15, 200105:15
.... the epiphany you ask? A dream of mine. Long story.. no need to explain here..
I think I just need to turn off my phones, and just spend some good quality alone time... this time last winter, I played ff9 and read alot (harry potter) and didn't go out much and it was fun stuff.
Tonite I tried getting my septum pierced.. oh, silly me. My septum is crooked in my head, and well, it came out way crooked in my piercing... man, a camara would have been good. Me and Amber thought of an idea about head gear to fix the crooked septum. Well, we promptly took it out... I guess I'd never know if I never got it done, eh?
Tommarrow I'm gonna chill with Wes and freinds.. and sunday, I think I'm just gonna stay home, and same with monday night... my vacation starts saterday, which Amber is having a party... After tommarrow night... I think I'm just going to chill until vacation... play Chrono Cross... and read the two books I have to finish.. and oooh, oooh, xmas, I asked for books and cds....oh, I am excited.
I want to plan out my next tattoo soon... I am going to save money for it.. and pay off my credit card.. which is not a big balance... if I'm good at one thing, its money. Not good at saving, but good at knowing how to budget and pay my bills before anything else. Damn bills. Hehe.. ah well, I make enough to be able to play and pay my bills. Not alot of playing...
Oh yes.... I am going to high impact coaching tommarrow.. get paid to talk about bullshit for 6 hours. Hehe... not too bad, better than work, oh yes. Well, I'm off to sleep. g'night.

I had an epiphany.
Dec 13, 200116:40
I wake up feeling fine, and it just goes downhill from there. I called Wes to see what he was doing tonite, and too see if I could coem over.. but now I feel too tired, and I can bet how tired I would feel at 10:30 tonite after work.
Work made me crazy today. Steven was being a lil bitch, so, I responded by being worse. Katie had to take us both in the back and talk to us. When the sounds and people make me want to getthefuckouttahere I best be going. I stop and look around, and know that if I don't getthefuckouttahere, something bad is going to happen.
On a good note, someone I haven't heard from for months came by work and left me a note. Justin Leyva. Rumour is that he is engaged.. if its to Tiffany, wtf is wrong with him? She doesn't treat him the way he should be treated.. he followed her to AZ and she cheated on him, ect. ect. Everytime she'd come into to work looking for him, they'd have a lil fight, and she'd leave and he'd get all puppy-dog sad. Poor kid. I told him he needed a girl to distract him. I hope hes not engaged to her. He used to try and make plans with me, which never worked because hes flakey as hell, and well, Tiffany would call and all thoughts of anyone else would leave. Ah well, I should call and see what hes up to anyways, he was entertaining as hell at work. "So call me for sure sometime and we'll chill."
I hate December. It makes me crazy, and all my freinds and family crazy around me. Worst time of year, no doubt. I started getting scared in Novemeber/October knowing how I feel around this time. I should hibernate. Dammit, the only problem is I'm not hibernating animal. I got about three more weeks left of this, and one of those weeks involves 5 days off. Which will help. I basically feel like shit. Allright, I just admitted that to myself... my mood is crappy, and it shows. I should just stay away from all the people who I don't want to hurt until it passes, which it will. The tail end of Novemeber till Xmas, is a slow descent into Hell. After the first I start to feel better. There is nothing I can really do to help it, except know that it'll pass. The more I struggle against it, the worse it gets. When I give up fighting it, and let it just do its thing I feel better. I guess I think fighting it head on will make it better, but it doesn't in the long run sometimes. Okay, most the time. Oops. Silly me. I giggle and I cry because I'm sorry for making all my freinds crazy when I try and fight everything too hard for my own good. Instead of just letting it go, and letting nature just take its course. I know I'm gonna feel like shit for the next 3 or so weeks, if I feel crappy, it'll be okey to feel crappy, just because, no deeper meaning, no bs, just because.
Dec 13, 200113:52
Hmm.. wake up. And feel good. Well, at least able to figure it all out.
Dec 13, 200102:40
I took some pics today... as you can see. I haven't taken any pics with my digital in quite a while. Man do I want more tattoos. I have 200$ saved up for school. If I end up going. I want to at least take a few classes. Damned school. I hate you. More tattoos. I have this idea in my head floating around. Its pretty solid. I need a better drawing than my doodle from work.
Dec 13, 200101:40
upswing
Today seemed like a long day. Woke up, went to Hell, (aka work). Callen was making me laugh till I was crying on his rant about the sun. After he described with weekend with the puking and his gf Katrina, I realize this time of year is just the shittiest. Xmas is stressful, its dark (thus the winter sun-vacation) and every is in a hurry. New Years is usually the depressign high point of my winter... after that its all on the upswing.. the holiday stress is over, and we can get back to paying off the xmas bills and working towards death. Heh. Fuck December. It makes us all hate our jobs, and everything we don't have, and we make the people around us crazy. Ah well, After the first of the year everything gets better and we calm down.
I think I want another bath... I went to the bar with Amber and Chris... I was about to fall asleep I'm so tired... I just sat and didn't say much because I was just tired. Amber and Chris were talking, and I was so tired I wasn't even thinking or listening.. just watching the tv's. I don't want to work 10 more days in a row. I've worked 10 allready. But the nice part is, I will be getting the 22-26 off.. I need that vaction. My baby needs a vacation too. We all need a vacation. I to take off and go camping. Damn winter and its no camping. So tired I'm almost over being irritated. I take that back, I just spilled tea all over myself.
I ahve the chance to become assi mananger for my work... my region coach was excited to hear that... they always get excited when they trap you in the company. Its a lil bit more work.. not much tho... you learn more instead of actually doing more. I do more work than most the asst managers in my stores it seems. I'have to learn to do the scedule.. which would suck ass... but doing the food order isn't that hard... I allready do the produce order... I allready have to move outta my store because I can't be in there with my sister, so if I have to move, I might as well be an asst manager and get paid more.
Almost all my xmas shopping is done.... I need to get a lil' more for my dad, and my sister.. damn its her bday on xmas. Well, see kids, your xmas could be worse, it could be your bday too. I want to get wes a few more small things. Eh, I love xmas shopping for people when I want to buy them stuff... I like getting lil gifts for people... Wes is fun to shop for, I have a million ideas of things to get him.
Wes is fun period. Even if things get me down, hes always reassures me more than I could ever imagine. Him and Callen both were chatting about the sun... I grab the cell phone back to find him laughing... its the best sound I'd heard all day. I miss sleeping next to him. Tonite, another lonely night curled up with a book and two blankets and 3 pillows.
Dec 12, 200102:44
Amber is the best. We love Amber.
Dec 12, 200102:10
I think I'm going to get a livejournal.
Damien called today and left a message on my answering machine... odd. I haven't heard from him in like, forever. He'd be interesting to meet up with and chat.
I feel as though I just got hit in the spine, mebbe paralyzed and afraid to move, but afraid to stay in the same spot. I am waiting for Amber to get home, we were trying to chat at work, both of us at work. It wasn't working well. Green Tea, a Bath and Amber are keys to sanity.
Dec 11, 200113:22
Pretending not to care is a 24 hour a day job.
Sometimes I wish for stupidity. Sometimes I wish I could take things at face value and not go looking for answers for the questions that I am bombarded with. "Strong empathic abilities" aren't always a gift when you feel the distress of others as strong as you feel your own at times.
I have a bad habit of looking for things I shouldn't, but I guess on the other hand I think its best know ing the truth even if the pain of knowing is worse than any sort of ignorant bliss. Allthough, the truth is usually affecting me, not those around me. You ask me not to go looking for answers, and not to tell you, but you forgot you leave me with questions swimming around in my head everytime we are together. I will let you answer those questions when you are ready. I apologize.
I don't believe in shoving everything in the closet, or under the bed. I believe in facing internal fears... whats inside our heads is far scarier than anything enviromental. Everyone around me has those to face (the boys), or has allready fought them (the girls). Sometimes things get worse before they get better, they get worse when you start undertsanding what you are dealing with, and start to let everything emerge, but instead of running, people have to stop and fight sometimes or nothing will ever change.
You can drown yourself in drugs and you can visit pretend land perminently, & you can make it your job to prove to everyone you don't care, when you care so much it breaks your heart. Or you can take one slow step at a time. I will be here when you need a hand to hold.
Dec 10, 200104:12
Do i break everything I touch? Am I so clutzy I can't help but try and help and only end up making things fall apart? I wanna go lie in bed and cry now. Ah well. Instead of helping my bf understand himself a tad bit better, I only made him feel worse. If I apologize and he gets mad at me for apologizing, I get mad at myself and only want to apologize more or get mad at him and yell at him for getting mad at me for apologizing.
Richard is right... everyone is right. I worry too much about the things I can't fix. Ah well. Hehe.. silly me.
Well, if you meet someone who fasinates you like no other... all you want is for everything to be allright. Sometimes I'll make mistakes doing just that, it can't be helped. But I don't think I'll kill everything I strive for... I didn't used to worry as much about this shit.. ah well... Richard is giving me good advice on not stressing, but I don't think I'll take that advice. No, no, sir, bonghits for jesus aren't going to work this time. But not worrying, will.
Dec 6, 200103:36
Well, I got my new phone.. it rules... new features and not held together by tape.
When you get to know someone you tend to piece clues and facts and names together to get the full picture of who they are. People can tell you over and over what kind of person they are, or what they like.. but thats only an outward expression of what kinda person they are, and how they see themselves. I always lok for the things that people don't say about themselves, I look for the subtle actions and decisions people make that show who they really are inside. When I'm not talking, I'm thinking, and when people are talking I'm listening carefully to the words and piecing together the stories, the subtle avoiding of subjects and the reactions.
As disappointed people make me, they also fasinate me utterly and completely.. the ones with a story to tell basically. My mom notices it, and so does my sister, but my mom responds with a positive affirmation of it, and my sister with a negative. She can't understand why I like talking to people who have had I guess, well fucked up lives. I'm not quite sure why really, I guess my only thought is the fact that they tend to be more genuine than the rest of the people I deal with on a daily basis. I like genuine people. Everyone else, well they can suck it.
I listen, listen and listen sommore.. piece together all my impressions and get some interesting ideas. When people talk, things don't always add up to the actions and if I don't come to immediate conclusions I ask. What ends up giving me the best idea of who I'm dealing with is when the actions speak for themselves.
Like I said to the asshole lazy manager at work, don't tell me, show me. His lame apology, fell flat, along with his face, he was stunned into silence for a few seconds, it was pretty comical watching me, the shift manager, lecturing the assitant manager about how we keep the store clean.
Dec 5, 200116:58
...
Well, I'm off to go take a shower.... I'm going to get my new cell phone today.. perhaps I'll have time to stop by outer limits and get jewerly.... ack, I definatly should go in today, Jason isn't working... lol.... anyways, I must be off... getting jewerly.. and getting a new cell....
Dec 5, 200102:41
Man.....
Man.. its been a very hectic week... on top of customers trying to kill me, I got have my coworkers being sexist pigs, being told in january I will be transfering to another store... To make long boring story short, the new evil manager at my work who everyone hates is trying to start shit.. and for christsakes, hes doing a job of talking about my ass... Lucky for me, Callen heard and gave me all the details. Callen's got my back. Good for him... I was pretty damned pissed sunday when I heard and monday... Poor Wes... he prolly thinks I'm neurotic now. We wer in old navy, and clothes shopping makes me insane sometimes... well, when it rains it pours.. and I wa s on the verge of tears when we left the mall about work and stressing about Wes trying to pick out clothes for me.
I feel totally bad, I was jumping to conclusions about things with him (but, hell, it always happens to me, boys trying to mold me)... he felt bad.. and I didn't mean it like that. Being around him still makes me feel like I'm on a first date with someone I'm really trying to impress. I try to relax, but sometimes he makes me nervous.. he is constantly joking around and sometimes I can't tell if hes serious or not. I do the same, and he can't tell if I'm serious either... misunderstandings make for awkwardness. And I know its because I reallllly like him. And when I try to explain anything verbally I just stumble over my words and fall down hopelessly. Most guys I date I'm pretty neutral towrds the whole situation... I don't ever get depressed when we break up... (allthough they do) because I'm able to rationally think it out, and deal. I'm damned sensitive, not touchy, just sensitive, so people take me for being emotionally fragile, when I'm actually tough as hell, and I can handle alot. I stress easily, so again, because think I'm kinda neurotic at times, but I calm down very quickly, and get over and on with it. If I stress about something, it just feeds, and grows and expnds till I reach a breaking point where I either get angry to cry, and then, its all over and I'm absolutly fine, I just need to purge once every so often. Hell hath no fury like Erica stressed out. My mommy tells me not to be so sensitive, and not to stress out. I've been able to reduce my stress level in the past year, but I'm not a perfect person... so it happens every so often.
I feel fine today, I woke up feeling much better.. I went to work, talked to one of the coworkers who I was having problems with, and it was all cool, just fine. I haven't talked to Wes since this morning when I left his house.. he was super tired when we woke up, kinda grumpy... he was complaing about me stealing the covers, and telling me I need to let him go to sleep (he was watching tv with me, and I was tired, and I wanted him to go to sleep with me, and he wanted to stay up, and I convinced him to go to bed, when he would have stayed up later if he had his way...) ah well.. and I just found out Wes just had an even shittier day on top of all that.... damn, poor kid.

Why is the world so damned crazy?
Yes, thanx for ruining my day...ALst week, I had a crazy customer call me up and start freaking out to me on the phone, because their pizza wasn't there... well, I knew it wasn't even my store that delivered to them, and I tried telling this to them, and they could NOT get this through their heads... they started yelling, and I wa spissed right back, when customers refuse to shut the hell up and accpet reality, (the reality - it wasn't our store, its not my stores problem call them, there wasn't anything I could even do.)... well, anyways, around 10 last night, they decide to walk in and pay a visit...
"Is your name Erica...?" "Yes"... "I called last week about an order... and..." I was like, "Okey..." and he starts talking about how he was treated badly (uh, right, I recall someone yelling at me) and I said "wait, you live in Trabuco Canyon?" He says "yes" "well, I DID call the other store, and your deliverly WAS over there, like I said" Well, he says "your a manager, aren't you supposed to fix problems" I said "Yes, I am, and I tried giving you their phone number, and you refused to listen to me." This is where thinsg get ugly.. "Well, I waited two hours for my food, have you ever had to wait two for food?" the asshole says in a quite angry tone of voice (if you were that hungry you would have left and gotten food, you lazy son-of-a-bitch) I reply with "Yes, sir, I have, and you know what, I have manners, I don't freeak out, and start calling people tramps over the phone." He starts to ask me bullshit like "Do you know the number of the unemployement office?" (hahaha, you forgot the company I work for, well, they don't give a rats ass if I'm rude, especially not to psychos like you.) Brenan, my driver walks over at this point.. "Sir, I'm not going to answer that question. Get out of my store." He refuses and asks for the corporate number, I get pissed, and rip the number right off one of the boxes and give it to them... he starts to insult Brenan, when Brenan walks up and tells him to leave as well... well, it escalated and the guy was telling Brenan to kick his ass... and Brenan puts his hnads behind his back, and put his face right into his, and calmly says "Get out out of the store, NOW." "Step up... step up.." I threaten to call the police again, and fingally hsi gf and freind walk him and pull him away... BUT, when he walks out of the store. he picks up the lid of the metal trash can outside, about to throw it in anger, he decides by some mircle to put it down. Idiot.
What the fuck is wrong with people? You threaten me over a fucking pizza? What is so wrong with your life that you get so angry over food? Argh.. I hate stupid people.. I was so mad I was totally shaking... But the best part of the whole thing is that I have his phone number and address.. silly him. Today we are going to call the police and file a report. And he thinks he'll have my job, he'll have a goddam restraining order is what he'll have.
Nov 29, 200118:09
Today I saw stephanie at work.. she was this girl I used to work with, we had this odd work relationship.. there were days were we ended up crying and fighting over like, the STUPIDest shit ever. Oh back in the day... she had her septum pierced, it looks adorable.. I'm jealous. She also said she has her nipples now.. I warned her about the healing. Damn, being around all these pierced people makes me remember what was so addicting in the first place.
Aegh, sometimes being in a relationship is more stressful than being lonely. I keep waiting still for some big bomb to explode and ruin everything... I'm so goddam used to it.. So is he. Yes, thank you last nights company for making me feel naive, annoying and stupid all at the same time. ::sigh:: Fierce words, and looks all around.
I'm still a bit pissed off... yes, its exactly this shit that makes me so reserved about my inner thoughts. Not being taken seriously, and being misunderstood. Argh, too things that make me crazy.. a select few understand me, thank gawd for people like Amber and Katie.. and my mommy. They make life easier and worthwhile all around. I'm glad I have my freinds to bare with me through all my intense passions (what is it this week? Hehe) and my flop-floppy wishy-washyness which is perhaps what they tolerate, but in a way it makes me who I am. I never forget about the things I was so interested in, they just become assimilated and blend rather than stand on the forefront. Whether it be anime, Tool, Tori Amos, hair, videogames, bodyart, psychedelics, or boyfriends. I get super passionate, and my conversations tend to be about one central theme for while... come back months later, or course it'll still be there... just moved back in the line.. my electicism makes people think I'm slightly loony sometimes.. hehe.. its okey though. Just bear with it and you'll understand where I'm coming from. :)
Nov 27, 200117:50
Vote. Dammit.
Did a bit of cleaning today... dishes, clothes, and well, the rest of the house. I suppose thats why my dad keeps me around.. I'm hardly home, but when I am I clean all the shit that he doesn't. I make a great roomate.
Me and Reina had a conversation on the way home about verbalizing thoughts... shes pretty damned smart, but she thinks shes dumb.. sometimes she doesn't get things, and sometimes she gets too emotional over things that well, just shouldn't matter.. but all in all, shes not an idiot.. just young in alot of ways, and shes needs to do alot of growing up, thankfully she knows this and sees thing for what they are.. not for what she'd liek them to be.
How to fix everything -
Step one - See things for what they are
Step two - Don't forget step one
Step three - Apply, wait 15 seconds, then peel off.
If only people could figure that out. Everything could be solved. Money doesn't equal happiness. Organized Religion isn't evil or great. Voting does make a difference. Nothing is ever as simple as it seems, nor is it always as complicated, either.
I should learn to take my own advice. Ahhhh.. the Beatles... anyways... People tend to put too much time into conforming or too much time being nilistic, instead of just seeing things for what they are... and remembering its the details, the intentions and the follow-throughs that count. Its a shame too many liberals don't go out and vote because they think it won't a damned difference.. I'm not stupid, I the gov't sucks. But, I know my vote makes a difference, when laws get enacted, that DO affect you (think of the states that still ban tattooing) the people you voted to elect or rather, the people that GOT elected because of your apathy, and frustrations towards our gov't will be voting for those laws.
Today I got a survey in the mail asking me what my opinions about my local area were... educational spending, the 91 freeway congestion (think about it Wes, the freeway, less congestion, more time I can spend with you, instead of sitting in traffic), my opinions on the gov't wanting to know if I agree with limits on my civil liberties in exchange for more safety (hell no). I promptly filled it out and its busy sitting in my mailbox waiting to be read.
If my generation doesn't start voting, there isn't going to be a damned of difference being made. The body modification community should be espceially interested. Thanx to assholes blowing up buildings, the gov't is doing more and more to limit our personal freedoms... ugh, national ID cards, reading my email, ect... its for my own protection? My ass. Its bad enough the social stigma you get from looking a tad different from the norm... let alone thinking different. I don't want to end up taking my daily soma and doing calenthetics. Argh.
Nov 27, 200104:10
Now that you've ruined christmas, Wes!
Anyways, I took Katie and Reina to meet Wes, they, not so suprisingly approved. He charmed them easily with an emo sweater (haha) and intelligent responses to Katies love of Garth Brooks. Which, as you may guess, isn't so easy. We went to Red Robin, then to get some coffee in the mall and we visited Tony at the movie place, where Wes proceeded to ruin Christmas by trying to buy Pi. I snatched it outta his hands while he put up a suprisingly emotional protest... then to his relief, I told him I allready bought it for him as a xmas present, amazon.com rules.
I have yet to see that movie, I've wanted to since it came out. Argh, movies.. and books and cds I have yet to buy, read and watch. I could spend 500$ a day on all that.
I need to stop worrying about the same stupid crap constantly. I can't shake certain things because I over analyze entirely too much. Less thinking, more bonghits. Hehe, just kidding, I haven't touched anything since 911, and the incedence with the E being too strong and feeling all strung out. Yuck. I was having KIDS flackbacks, so was Amber "Jenny, jenny!"
I think I'll stick to the few times a year doses of true psychedelics. Other than that, I'm chill. Close friends and good times in a safe place without starngers make for a better setting than a rave anyday. Both me and Amber were like, you'd wanna do acid HERE? I'd rather chill outside and chat or sit inside with my bestest friends and watch paisley shower curtains. Yeahhhh... much better if you ask meee.
I lost the 20$ bet I made with Rob, perhaps he'll trade me for some movie tix. Lol... Robs a sweetie... but dumb as all hell, poor boy. I hope hes doing okey, working entirely too much, and being an alcoholic.
I'm sleepy, I want to go nighty-night.
Nov 26, 200120:13
I hate laggers.
Damn, my friends are lagging like all hell, they need to hurry the fuck up. Why? because I am ready to go. Grrr.... actually, I'm kinda sleepy, so I can't be too pissed off.
On a lighter note, It was way slow at work today, I brought a book, I was on about page 50 or so, and I finished it.. it was pretty short, only 180 or so pages and not teeeny-tiny print or anything. Its Callens book I borrowed.. now if only all my freinds could give me the books they borrowed back.. Richard has storming heaven (which you should read Richard!!!), Justin has the hobbit and my psychology of sexuality... Katie has my first harry potter and reviving ophelia... and I think thats about it...
Richards birthday is thursday.. I invited to come with us wensday night, Amber is coming over, I haven't seen that girl since I poisoned her. Oops.. hehe. I invited Christian to come with us... but he doesn't get outta lab until 9pm.. we'll see how it goes. Amber is babysitting... I don't think she knows the details.. I can't remember if I told her... ah well. :)
I need to finish my xmas shopping, and I need to get paid.. I did a lil shopping... but I haven't gotten the package yet.
Last notes - I hate traffic. Thank gawd for the carpool lane.
Nov 26, 200103:20
Last random note of the night -
I make bad first impressions. Lik always. Its like, a job. Go to work, make bad first impression. People write me off. They either hate me for who I really am. Which heh, it cool. Or they find out I'm not so bad, which is better.
Nov 26, 200102:56
now I remember why I smoke pot...
Humans make me crazy.
I can perfectly honest with Wes, and he acts like a normal human being. Its wierd. It only gets better, not worse. I'm not used to this. I must learn to relax more. I don't dig this sleeping alone bullshit.
Double WTF???
My parents both don't mind me staying at Wes's house. Him living in Temecula isn't so bad of a thing when it comes down to it.. my dad said to my crazy mom saterday that "it wasn't like some guys flophouse, his moms there." And later that night my mom says "Well, if you go to Temecula, I want you to spend the night, don't drive home late at night."
This could all be since they haven't seen him yet, (just kidding, babe) but I warned them. My sister is the one hes gotta watch out for, my dads the most understanding of my freinds, but hes my dad, and dads are supposed to want to kill all boys dating me. My mom is a softie.. and well, my sister, shes just a lost cause. Heh. Ex-cheerleader, gap sporting yuppie in training. Shes allready got the accountant husband (I love my brother in law, but....), lives in Mission Viejo.. the only thing missing, the SUV.
Anyways... Wes has my pajamas.. I have NOTHING. Bastard. :)
Nov 23, 200118:38
I am 45% Metal-Head.
Most other metal-heads acknowledge my presence, but they laugh at me behind my back. Maybe I need to stop spending all that money on haircuts and invest in a few Pantera T-shirts.
Its all those years spent dating death metal boys... oh heh.
Nov 23, 200116:44
Don't let that intelligence work against you.
"I've seen this before, sir, and its not always pretty."
Sometimes great intelligence, beauty, and talent can be more of a curse than a blessing... Grils who are too pretty sometimes never get taken seriously, or fall into the trap that being dumb (or playing) will get them farther in life than using thier head. And sometimes, when you are SO damned smart, you end up not being able to relate to the rest of us.
There are a few people in my life that I've met and seen what I would call, the "mad genius syndrome". If you are uber-intelligent, and normal like the rest of the mainstream, you end up going off to an ivy-league, graduating as a doctor, lawyer or some other classic american dream come true. But, if not... things can get ugly.
Hes thinks sometimes he might be a tad autistic.. in a way I agree... but I think its more like this... you know from an early age, you are NOT like other kids. If yer parents notice it, lots of times, you end up in special classes... the GATE program, or going to a private school like Fairmont, getting yer tution paid for along the way thanx to those amazing test scores. But sometimes, yer a lil too different. And you don't blend in. And you can tell. And everyone else can tell. And if you don't have the parents who will niture this sort of person... you could end like my cousin. 21, on heroin, in and out of hospitals for rehab and attempted suicide. Fucking mad genuis. Her writings freakin' amaze me, her thought processes. Unfortunatly, she ended up getting into drugs, and never got out. The strengths and talents were never harnessed, and she just ended up wasting them.
Damien was another case... he tested ENFP... in alot of ways, he was one of the more intelligent people I've ever met.. but in alot of ways, hes was almost mentally disabled. His intelligence worked against him. He resented and hated almost every person hes ever met. He doesn't understand people, and they certainly don't understand him. He didn't understand people to the point of being socially inept. Damien dear, you can't just tell people "I hate you." Damien was prolly one of the most sensitive people I've dated... he took everything in, overanalyzed it and it made him an angry little boy, who was sensitive to only his feelings, and completely insensitive to anyone elses. Not good. Not good at all. Damien was luckily not a violent person, due to his utter complete lack of courage more than anything else... but the thoughts were (and prolly still are) present inside his head. His mom did a wonderful job raising him. She negelected to mention that his brothers dad wasn't HIS dad till he was 13... to protect him I suppose (fucking moron, I hate his mother.) She forced him into dance when he was a kid, luckily he enjoyed it for the most part... she treats his little brother like hes a fucking saint, when his little brother is so weird, and fucking dumb it's frustrating, yet laughable (haha). Damien's a lost cause. Luckily drugs never came into the picture. His unique ability to sing and write, could easily be harnessed into freakin' rockstar material... I wish that boy the best and hope he finds both a therepist, and a companion who can guide him into the person he COULD be.
I see an uncanny resemblince between the two. Like I said before, if Damien grew up, he could be you. You are so damned smart you don't understand people sometimes. Luckily you had a good circle of people to help you through what could have ended up tragic. Instead of denying those incredible natural talents of yours, you used them productivly. Sometimes you are so busy analyzing everything around you, you miss the obvious details of the human heart. Its not as though you are cold and unfeeling... which a less mature or I guess, dumb, person might think... its more about being super sensitive to your own feelings, and being awkward around someone elses, sometimes appearing insensitive... Your heart is in the right place - Don' worry kid, I get ya. Sometimes that intelligence astounds me, and intimidates me.. but in MY heart, I know there is no reason to be intimidated... utter fasination keeps me interested.
Damn, I'm a lucky girl.

I love pumpkin pie. This time of year, I totally dig... its the cold months of febuary that make me wish for summer. October, November, and December winter days remind of sitting by the fireplace chatting with my mom... remind me of laying in bed and snuggling up, reading a book before bed.
Lat winter was slightly traumatic... I've been none to suffer from seasonal affective disorder... in other words, the cold weather and lack of sunlight effect my moods. Last year I started cosmo school and in October, I learned we had a month to move out and find a new house... weeks passed without having any luck finding a house.. sometimes I get really lucky in life, and we ended up moving into the house we are in now.. I dig it. But, moving, being in school 40 hours a week and working about 20... oh, ouch. Then I started mananging at my work, which was freakin' hell. 25 stupid employees under me, not listening to a word I say because they hate MY boss, and they basically left me there without training me how to do anything. I hated that job. I was in tears constantly. By Christmas I was almost having a nervous breakdown, everyone around me could see... my mom offered to help me out with money, telling me to quit my job.. but I don't take money if I don't really need it. Things got a tad bit better after xmas break, which I absolutly needed. But it was still tough, i still hated my job, and the girls in school made me crazy.
1150 hours with the same group of people, and not one stood out enough to make a freind outta them. Well, except Ryan. Wes says, most people you meet are black and white, and then there are those who are full color. Thats Ryan. Amazing person. People treated that boy like a rock star, he intimidated me to no end, but not bad enough that I couldn't hang out with the guy or talk to him (like most the other girls).. his buddy Shea scared me. She was kinda possesive about him... kinda is an understatement. She made it well known, that Ryan was HER freind... I told him that she was intimidating... and he didn't quite see why. When it comes to sensing other peoples feelings, its almost like ESP. I may not always understand their goals (I'm not sure they do either)... but I can tell if someone doesn't like me... or does, for that matter. Non verbal clues speak way louder than any words. And Shea, well, it was obvious. Ryan, fasinating guy, even if he smoked crystal meth. Heh.
This year, I'm saving 300$ for my car payment, quitting one job, and only working only 20-25 hours a week.. I might trade in those vacation hours and use those for helping me out financially. When I go back, I will be in a better state.. no miving, no job from UTTER hell. No crazy people I allready spent 1150 hours with... and I have this amazing guy in my life. Yeah, school won't suck.
Nov 20, 200117:35
Me and Wes went to go and see Harry Potter last night, it was a damn good interpretaion of the book... a few key points were missed (what were you thinking???), but overall, I give it an A-.
My head is hurting... mebbe it needs more caffiene. I like Wes's idea about using caffinated water for making his coffee, haha. Mmm.... this pumpkin pie is rather good. When I hang out with him, I feel like I'm with Amber... very comfortable, ect. I realize me and Amber are very different people, but in other ways, we are very much alike. The differences make things interesting and it makes us challenge eachother, but that challenge is a good thing, a chance to grow as a person and to expand our horizons and our ways of looking at things, rather than something to fight about.
Sometimes the puzzle piece fits so well you think "Hey! Is this a trick?" Amazed Wes... utterly amazed.
Nov 17, 200105:34
Everything he says, I think.
He speaks my mind.
My inability to feel comfortable unless someone lays a fuzzy blanket out first makes me crazy.
Thank god hes got a big fuzzy blanket.
Nov 16, 200117:35
:::big fucking grin:::
Nov 15, 200104:22
Ahh.... I heard a sad story today. Almost as sad as my dating history, or as Amber calls it, my gallery of losers... hehe. No, they aren't all losers.... most the guys I've dated are really cool guys, as long as you don't date them. Heh.
Tommarrow is my hot date with Wes. We are gonna hopefully go and try and see the Harry Potter movie (rock!!!!).
My short term memory is going. Utter lack of sleep and the fact that I've worked 3 weeks straight with no days off is taking its toll on me, especially when about 3 days a week, I have split shifts.
I can to a few revelations about my silly habits that Amber points out and I deny... I know what shes saying, but shes seeing from this aweful shallow point of view. When its really not like that. I am pretty evenly split between close guy, and close girl freinds, girls make good freinds because they understand what its like being a girl, and you have alot of the same problems and misgivings, being the same sex. But girls can be catty and jealous, and when yer good girlfreinds fuck you over, or flake on you, its way worse than one of the guys does it. With guys, they have a good idea what goes on in the guy psyche, and they are great for accurate dating advice. They don't get pissed if you flake, and won't get catty or jealous. But things can get complicated if they end up confusing playfulness for serious intentions... I dig my freinds... I'm really to happy to have them... and met them.. When I have house parties, and all of them come, I cannot be happier... each of my freinds are so different from eachother, they each represent a side of me... when they all come together I just run around my house in a state of bliss chatting it up. ::falls over::
Nov 14, 200105:01
Psychedelic Smoothies!!!
Perhaps my master plan I spoke of yesterday is allready being put into motion without any help for yours truely. Introverted Intuition - we are using it wisely.
let go.. let go.. let go..
Erica's party idea.. I'm famous in these parts for throwing rockin' house parties.. (actually, not famous, haha) my idea for a good house party - the psychedelic smoothie party, about 6-8 of us making smoothies involving strawberries, bananas, and psilocybin. Everyone else gets to smoke pot or drink from the lush fridge. A few sober observers and digital camaras. Add a bounce house and ohmyfuckinggawd. It would rule. Just an idea.
Nov 13, 200117:19
yeah!
Work was fun this morning, I was boxing with Mike, and I got to fuck around and tell Katie about my weekend.. leaving out a few details of course. I told her of my master plans, and she thinks its a "good idea."
Lucky for me, I have a brain, and I can have master plans. I think smoking pot has ruined my ability to type and play videogames. Haha... or mebbe I'm older and I don't have 8 hours a day to play videogames and figure them out like I used to. And mebbe I just don't give a rats ass about my inability to type. I went to the bank today and I have a lil more money than I thought, but I'm still fucking broke. Damn you, fun. Fun costs too damned much.
Well, I'm off to go clean my house and get ready for work AGAIN tonite.... blah.
Nov 13, 200103:44
Nice nap.. but of course I got woken up by the phone. Talked to richard finally today before my nap, haven't talked to him in days.. hes been in Tahoe at his sis's... I had a lil suprise for him... he was happy to hear it.
Me and Wes chatted when I woke up, haha... he told me the plot Johann cooked up about keeping me cold by not letting me borrow his sweater. I can't help but laugh... but thats eeeevil of you boys!!!!
Now I'm off to cook breakfest for dinner and go back to bed... finish the last of island and start the book Callen let me borrow.
Nov 12, 200119:10
good lord...
Our new manager at work is freakin' RETARDED. He closed down the store early twice... was missing 100$ on his shift and was clocking himself in and out for later than he was really inside the store. My area manager allready hates him.. he might get fired... not a prob. here guys.
Justin needs to come over to pick his shit up so I can take a bath, and go take a nap, because I am, FUCKIN' tired... and ready to go to sleep... I need food, but there ain't any in my house...
Ahh.. Justin just came by... that boy is an odd one... he was in my house for less than a minute... no saying hi and chatting. I guess its cool we can still talk at least online, we dated for 9 months last year... his parents hated me, so it kinda killed our relationship, we were actually quite compatable... except in a few ways... he was 2 years younger, and not very experianced with realtionships... I was his first long term gf... made him more attached than a guy would normally be.
I try and stay on good terms with my ex's because most of them are pretty cool guys, I still talk to Rob alot, but I cannot dare mention other guys, all he does is get sad and jealous... kinda a shame. We just shoot the shit about work (we have the same job, different stores) mostly. Eh... well, time for that bath and nap.
Nov 12, 200103:55
Ahh... nice ending to a nice weekend. Me, Amber, Natalie and Ros ended up going to the 911 charity event sat night. It was fun, fun, fun. After getting lost in the pit of the fucking world, Moreno Valley, we found it by asking these people in Target. No thanx to me, just Natalie. Lines are no fun. Lines outside in the cold are no fun. Lines that don't move, outside int he cold are definatly no fun. We met up with Wes in line, and went inside...
Amber and me swallowed our stuff shortly after getting inside... Ros was our sober sitter (Be responsable kiddies, always have a sitter and a designated driver) and Nat took #2. I saw a kid I met at monster massive when I went outside to chill.. my tummy wasn't feelin' too good. Nat was likin' him.. heh-heh. I saw Callen and started chattin' with him and Wes when ::scary music:: it started to hit. Oh my. I felt instantly drunk, and needed to chill. Amber was sitting on the ground and looked a tad fuuuucked up. I asked if she was okey, she nodded and smiled.. and we both agreed "tooo strong... yeahhh.." Weird... at the peak, Callen was busy drawing away at the table with everyone else when he stands up with a sign saying "Will suck dick for drugs" Hehe... Amber and ros take off for the bathroom.... and never come back... after wandering around a lil looking for them... I decide not to worry too much and just chill... the peak was over, and I was starting to comedown... yes, thank gawd. I was actually pretty damn happy to be over it. Too strong, way mellow, and it made me feel drunk. But instead of being drunk, I was etarded. Before saying too many stupid things... I decided to shut my mouth... I cannot talk allready, let alone fucked up...closing with a "I'll talk to you at work when I'm more coherant."
Me and Wes ended up chatting with his freinds the rest of the night, he was amusing the hell outta me, boy can dance, good gawd. "How do you do that? Whaaat?" Oh haha. ;) Callen went to check on my freinds when he left.. they were fine, chillin' and sleeping in the car. I enjoyed just hanging out... I feel bad about losing some dudes sweater... because its so not me, to borrow something and lose it.. Ros had my money, if she didn't, I would have gave the guy 20$... I honestly feel bad... poor guy.
Thoughts on E... hmm... it was like when I took it when I was 18 again... I remember why I didn't take it again after that for 3 years... set and setting were fine last night.. but it reminded me of being drunk, and I don't like feeling fucked up and unable to think or talk. My come down was quick.. I know tolerance levels can build quickly.. and I DEFINATLY do not want to take more than one... eh, the stuff was nice at massive, but e varies, and can lose that magic quickly. Blah. I don't think I'll take e again at a rave... if I do take it again, it would be a good freind, just chillin', chattin' listening to music.
Acid well, acid never lets me down. Hehe. I can jump up on wall, and sit with Mike while hes in a tree telling me stories about his weird dreams. Or I can watch a paisley shower curtain dance, and try and tell Amber, "its sooo beautiful..." while she just laughs at my dumbass. Hehe.
Nov 7, 200123:06
Closure and completion.
Oh haha. Well, at least some things get their time coming to them. Bitter boys.. its good to know I can giggle and turn the tables on them. And yes, they have been VERY well taken care of. I guess that ends that chapter. ;)
Me and Amber are prolly going to another rave this friday.. shes never been ... and it'd be my second... where to go, eh? I talked to Callen at work says he'll email me the good and the bad. Funny boy, that Callen. I discovered last night that his fave drug is acid too. Its funny when I meet someone I can actually talk to.. its a rare occurance. Most people are too damned stupid or just so damned boring. Heh, he says hes looking to go to LA this weekend to go find a hookup. I said he'd be my hero.. he says he'd be HIS hero. He'd be your hero too, if he hooks it up. Callen and me discussed his idea for his own variety show "The Callen Show" todays topic - "LSD, enlightening? Or just fun?" Oh haha... then he walks out the door on delivery and signs L-S-D YMCA village people style before getting in his car. Too, too funny.
Him and Brenan make woooork deliciously fun. Brenan puts his food in the middle pocket of his apron, making it a crotch burrito. Even better is the crotch cheese and peppers he gives to customers. Brenan suggests that adding "in bed" at the end of your fortune cookie fortunes makes them a whole lot funnier. Agreed.
Days like this make me love my job. :)
Nov 6, 200103:35
Last notes of the night.. great conversation tonite... www.clownmask.com has a great mix... I recommend it to you. I want about 100 million CD's and books. I need to win the lottery to buy what I want. Until then, I will finish the 2 books i have left to read that I bought, and listen to internet radio, which, as I have discovered is about 100 times better than what plays on my stereo. I know every song on Arrow 93.1 fm... and they have been playing too much cock rock lately. I like Pink Floyd/Doors, not AC/DC, in fact.. I fucking hate AC/DC. KROQ isn't bad half the time. I dig Incubus as much as the rest of you.. but I don't want to listen to Limp Bizkit (who are you people who buy this??) interspersed with commericals just to hear the same song 45 minutes after you just played it. Tool, why did you release Lateralus? They killed it with a radio edit, and its far too precious for the masses, you and I both know how stupid they are.
Anyways.. I need to pay off my credit card sommmmorrre. I have a low balance, but I'd like to keep it that way. I have half the money saved for January when I go back to school. No more late night bong rips.. well, mebbe not as many. Goodnight.
Nov 5, 200123:55
...
Argh. Why can't I talk, and why can't people listen? People always get the wrong impression, its almost comical at this point. Even my closest freinds get me wrong on my deepest desires/thought/philosphies constantly... it tends to make me more reserved emotionally than I should be. I almost begin to refuse to explain these things because I know I'll never be understood.
Words limit my ability to express myself. I'm not talented like some people with the gift of explaining well with speech or writing for that matter. Allthough writing my feelings down, helps me to explain them... I'm still at a loss for the words being able to fit together to form coherant ideas. Haha.
Other people do a damned good job of explaining these feelings for me, when I read Aldous Huxley, or JD Salanger... I feel my emotions stirred.. "Yes exactly!" is all I can say. Those writers explain my feelings on life in general in their works more perfectly than I ever could. Loneliness, philisophy, beauty, pain, spirituality, sexuality...
Through visual art, and sex (yes, sex) I am able to express what I cannot put into words.. My photography is something I don't get to do as much as I'd like... the intresting people I'd like to photograph are not willing enough subjects. My photos aren't here to make you look good, but instead to convey emotions trapped in a moment. Through sex, (with the right partner, mind you) I lose myself, and it takes on an almost spiritual quality.. its like each one of my senses is on fire. Orgasm is hard to reach, and not that important.. if I'm satisfied mentally, I'm perfectly fine, and orgasm is not my means to an end... Its all up here. Orgasms only come when my mind is super turned on... no amount of touching in the right spot will do it if my mind is thinking "damn, I need to do the laundry and go to the bank." After good sex.. I'm in a dreamy bliss state... Mmmmm...
Well anyways.. as I grow older/wiser/ect.. I hope I can learn to convey my feelings/philosophies better. I recognize my faults.. and I try to work on them...
For once.. I'm starting to feel really good about my job, I'm happy at my store and I feel as though I'm seeing the big picture and that helps me run things smoothly, and makes me stress far less than I did when I was starting out.. in cosmo class I felt as though I got caught up in the details too much without seeing the big picture... when I go back, I have to learn to relax and try to see the whole... instead of trying to put the details in order and only making things harder for myself. I end up feeling like a failure if thinsg don't come as easily as they should, because I know I'm not an idiot... and I shouldn't let my own frustrations make me angry enough to quit trying. When I get a chance to relax and think instead of merely react, I think more clearly, and soon, reacting becomes fluid and instinctual.
When I go back to school I have to just not worry about the girls in class making me crazy, just be myself... take my breaks with a good book and bring my lunch because I'm gonna be friggin' broke ass poor. Just chill, relax and not worry about the small stuff...
Nov 5, 200103:20
Jung
I was reading up on the meyers-briggs types.. trying to figure out who some of my freinds are... and I started reading about ESFJ's... thinking my sis could be one.. and oh my freakin' god, it sounded just like her, it was scary... so i called her up, and made her take the test... and lo n' behold... she was an ESFJ....
Nov 5, 200102:32
Some people at work make my fuckin' day. Callen, by far is one of them. We've alluded to drug usage before between us, but today we had a good conversation.... I was talking to Rob, (other manager at another store) when Callen was laughing about chili cheese fritos and mt. dew being stoner food. I know Callen doesn't drink (hes allergic to alcohol) , nor smokes cigs.. but you never know what people do.. or what people plan on telling their bosses. :) We had a previous conversation about psilobybin and ergot fungus... we both showed up on halloween as ravers. Damn him. He raves all weekend, every weekend, me? I'm just a poser.
I'm over by the maketable attempting to make pizzas while hes chopping up green pepeper we had to buy at the store because we were out and nob other store had any to lend us.. and he randomly says "Its almost like extracting mescaline from San Pedro's!" heh, what you say? Very few people know anything about San Pedro's...impressive. This led to an interesting hushed conversion on psychedelics and recreational drug use... while panning dough. Anyone seen the Pizza Hut Big New Yorker commercial for pizza hut for the free pepsi... psychedelic pepsi.. haha. Rock.
Its too bad people are too stupid to figure out some of us are recreational drug users and we live normal, productive lives... You just can't pick us out of the crowd because we keep this shit quiet... one look at our cd and bookcases might give us away.
Nov 2, 200117:42
....
I hate fridays.... too much work. My owners may be selling the Togo's I work for... no biggie... I'm quitting again in January.
On another side note... I have an interesting idea for a project using flash and my photography. If only I knew how to use flash..... dammit. Perhaps I can get one of my flash using freinds to help me out.
Amber saw one of my ex's last night at The Block. I guess his band got signed and is touring in florida or some shit. Its prolly a black metal band, so they will never be famous enough for me to say- "Hey, I fucked their guitarist... hes got a small dick, big ego, and can't hang." and have people be wowed by this revelation of starfucking. Ah well, I'm happy for him nonetheless.. hes got talent musically and deserves something good to come out of his shitty childhood. Its really too bad we can't be friends. He'd make a good groupie magnet as well. Hes good looking, charming and interesting. That is, until you get to know him. All his freinds are in constant rotaion due to this. Its kinda funny. ::wink::
Remember this man, hes a future rockstar.
Nov 1, 200118:43
pure fucking sex...
Oct 30, 200119:54
woo- hoo!
Almost done with this goddamed costume... I've been working slowly on it for the past three days. Who needs sowing skills when you have a GLUE Gun! Yes, a glue gun and saftey pins are all I need to make clothes. Heh. Making clothes is fun. I think I may go and modify a few more things I have laying around the house... I get all these silly ideas in my head of what might be cute if only it was.....
Oct 30, 200102:10
Blah...
I'm so damned sore from saterday night, its not even funny.. I'm walking around like a gimp... its almost funny, except its happening to me. I've been working on my halloween costume for the past few hours, I thi8nk I fucked up part of the trim and I have to redo it... damn black fuzz is ALL over my room and the den. My room is freakin' trashed as hell.. I need to clean it, up, but that would requires some sort of motivation and effort, which I don't have... I'm too busy making my costume to do a damned thing.
I just tried it on.. its going rather good.. some minor adjustmenst are needed... I know exactly what'll work... damn, making shit takes entirely too much effort.
Speaking of being apathetic... I'm going to try to stop taking bonghits for Jesus for one month.... not sure how well I'll do. last time I tried that I lasted exactly one week. I'm not a total stoner.. I definatly don't smoke everyday, and never when I'm going to work or hanging out with my parents. But its turning into a more than a few times a month thing, more like a few times a week.. (random sidenote: ooh, incubus just said "fuck me")
Last night my cousin calls wondering what I'm doing for halloween, shes gonna be rollin' and is possibly going to hook me up. I won't do it with her freinds, they are incredibly lame. I'd save it for the next rave... Christian is one of my fave people to take stuff with, hes too much fun... Hes been in a horrible mood since he had to move back home (which is right by me again now, he used to live 40 miles away) this weekend is the happiest I've seen him since hes been home...
Oct 28, 200123:23
later on that evening...
Yuck... I'm hungry, but I still can't eat.. I tried eating taco bell, but my food was all fucked up because my freind held my nachos in the car upside-down. Asshole. my jaw is all fucked up because I was chewing gum hardcore all night.And I still haven't gotten more than 4 hours of sleep today.. just couldn't get comfortable last night...
Last night fucking rocked. We get there pretty early, around 8 or so, and there was no line to get searched, so that took about 5 minutes.. then Christian was off in search of E... he would only buy from the asian dealers.. because I guess they are more solid. after about 45- 1 hour, he finally hooks it up.. I was pretty amazed. We bought some lemonade and took our pills...
This chick he was desparetly trying to ignore was there.. Christian tried avoiding her.. but he ended up talking to her and when I tried to pull him away to saftey, he decided to take her with us... damn was this girl SPRUNG on him... he is super friendly and sweet, so he was being nice, and she hugging him nonstop (shes sober, and we haven't kicked in yet) I tell him, "lets go dance" and so he takes us both, hand in hand down to the floor... as we are dancing.. it starts to kick in.. 30 minutes... I feel a lil something... at 45 minutes, I'm happy as fuck. I smoked a bowl before going in, so i think it may have eliminated a bit of the body load... but this e we took was exactly how e is supposed to be. I was lovin' it.
I ended up just chatting it up, e, is a MUCH better "social lubricant" than alcohol... I was just smiling at everyone ina friendly way, not drugged out way. When I was peaking I was in the middle of thr dancefloor with Christian, Amber, and her friend Josh... the whole connectedness and unity with both the music and the people just started flodding my senses.
fucking amazing
The rave closed pretty early around 3am.. I took my e at 9pm, and byt three I was still felling it, but the peak affects were over by about 1:30am... up until about 9am I had residual affects... still slowly comeing down till about 6am... e is known to have signifigant mood changes for up to weeks after using it.
I came to some good conclusions... a certain someone I met was totally right about us. He lives in oceanside, me, placentia. Or as Christian says "radius". We'd make better freinds than anything else. Hes cool as fuck, BUT... Besides, I'm having alot of fun being unattached (heh-heh-heh). Me and Amber should start a clothing company, we both have ideas.. I'm organized and could run a decent business, and shes got the knowhow. We also have some freinds with skills to help us out.
Ah well. Poor girlie in love with Christian, she was crying at the end of the night about him.. I told her what she should want to here. I don't feel bad getting up on him at the rave in front of her. She didn't pass the arm rule, according to his standards... and she was 16, hes 22. No good. Either way, she was a sweet girl, he should stay freinds with her. Besides, she can hook up e. heh.
Oct 27, 200120:59
Well, damned window closed... I have to start all over, but I like writing inane diary entrys where I get to ramble on and on and nobody is there to give me weird looks or make fun of the way I attempt to talk (haha Amber.)
Anyways, I think my dad and I are roomates, we barely see eachother and I just clean the house all the while he messes it up. If only he could be the roomate who doesn't care if I have boys in my room at all hours of the night. I slept in til' 3pm, I was up til' 8am... sneaking people outta my room while trying to assure myself my "roommate" was still asleep.
Oct 26, 200118:10
Good gawd!
I do NOT want to go to work. Fridays suck ass. Thursdays are bad, but fridays really suck. I have to work a split between my 2 jobs. I have to close.. which means I don't get home till like midnight... but this weekend I DO have off. All weekend. Tommarrow night, me and Christian are going to Monster Massive.. Redeeming value to going to a rave = I've never been to one... I'm a HUGE people watcher, and we are supposed to hook up E. Heh, it always seems not likely, he can never hook shit up. Its always there when I don't want or need it. Other than that, I'm not THAT excited.
I've taken E once before... shitty experiance... I was left at a party by my cousin, with crazy drunk people who I didn't like/know. No fun. Then, I experianced a "crash". Super no fun. Large crowds of people and lots of noise are generally not my cup o' tea. I freakin' hate happy hardcore... BUT, I do like shit like Aphex Twin, and Orbital... so hopefully, I won't be trapped with a bunch of rollin' fools listening to happy hardcore.
I'm proud to say I never went to a football game in high school, but I'm jealous that I wasn't able to go to Burning Man this year.. mebbe next.

Shoot first, ask questions later.
Nice day at work.. slow, no problems, no fuck ups. Me and Brenan closed. Him and Rosalyn are getting along better, she is finally accpeting him for who he is (Christian)... We had an interesting discussion about telling people "what they want to hear".. and/or being straightforward when people ask questions. Rosalyn, he says can't tell, if hes merely telling her what she wants to hear, or if its the straight truth. Eck. Makes me think...
People like to ask questions, but what kinda answer do they want, or expect? Ah well, I too, ask alot of questions.. and I'd prefer the straightforward, and not the telling me what I wanna hear. Even if I'm oh-so guilty of playing the detatched-nihilist. All the while, the people that know me, know how I really am. :)
Like the title says, shoot first, ask questions later.

::yawn::
How to go to work happy:
Good conversation, good taste, good weed, and good sex. What more does a girl need? Oh yes, sleep. 8 hours a sleep and all the free lattes I can drink would be good. But I suppose I gotta settle for what I can get, ne?
Tonite I work with Brenan, he rules. Hes an INFP, we get along well, his gf is an INTJ, they don't get along well. Shes a good freind of mine, so I know shes weird. Heh.
Tried to sleep, the damned birds were being noisy, bad enough they smell, they are noisy too! Layed in bed, can't sleep, so I ended up thinking, thinking, thinking.
Oct 25, 200102:56
...
I'm just sitting here, bored, waiting for certain people to come over... I just repainted my nails, goddam filth of the fuckin' world gets under my nails form work, its freakin' gross. My nails either have to be short, or painted, or else I get grossed out.
People should not lag. They should conform to my time schedule. Heh, j/k. "I don't know what I want to eat" "Well, why don't you get whatever I'm eating?"
Oct 24, 200102:42
eh...
Hey, who are you people who vote in my polls and drink your coffee black?? I don't think you really do. Nobody I know drinks their coffee black, you people always drink it with a ton of sugar. I know you are only lying to look hard, but it won't work, you 26% of 71. (whatever that is) Liars! All of you! ;)
Oct 23, 200123:40
smelly birds
The birds in my den fucking goddam smell... I want the owner to come take them back its been two weeks, I only got paid 40$ to watch them, its not enough, dammit.
I was listening to Tool today, and yes, Tool is fucking great thinking music... the Salival cd rocks my world. But anways I was coming up with some theories about humans and energy output.... tying into desire, passion, and desirablity... anyways, I could go on and on, but I think I'll stop right here.
Oct 23, 200118:58
After work....
Anyways, I went ot work this mrning, was lucky because I got off at 2:30pm instead of like, 5pm. Came home, changed.... checked my email, and decided to take bong hits for jesus.
Yesterday was lame. Me and Rob and Amber hung out, I went by work, got my paycheck and then headed down to Dana Point. We got kicked off the beach, I got a lil high, and we got pissed off at eachother on the way back. Nice, huh?
Oct 23, 200103:46
off to bed
My friend is tauning me with the fact that he did shrooms last weekend, and I've been looking for any sort of interesting psychedelics for months now. Well, I had an interesting experience with salvia divinorum the other night involving another IAM.BME member... salvia is odd... I recommend trying it if you allready haven't.
Oct 22, 200121:37
good gawd...
I've had a migraine for 7 freakin' hours. I have taken 3 aleve, eaten and taken a bath. Its not going away, the only time it was nulled was when I smoked a bowl earlier, which is wearing off... ack. I hate headaches.
Oct 20, 200103:58
bleh
Its about 1am.. i got home from work at 12:30pm, goddam tonite sucked ass. We had a 500 and 700$ hours right next to eachother, and my cooks were fuckin' shit up left and right... I had only 2 inside people, a line out the door and a bunch on angry customers... either way, they were all crazy. It slowed down around 8pm, thank GAWD. But the store was a fucking mess still till almost midnight.
On another note, I get to open tomarrow which usually means slower.... then I might take Mike from work to Outer Limits to get his ears pierced, that is, if he doesn't flake on me. Eck, Jason will be working... he never called me back wensday, but thats okey, me and Amber went to the Hub and talked shit. Too bad Mikes not hot, there is no way Jason could get jealous of him. Hehe... I thought Mike was cool when I first met him, and I trained him, but then he got kinda obnoxious.. now hes calmed down again at work and I actually find him to be quite pleasent. Even if hes spoiled rotten.
I want to buy lots more books, but I still have 3 1/2 more to finish.. Aldous Huxely's Island, and Moksha... The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test (which I kinda started a while ago), and Tropic of Cancer... Pihkal fucking rocked. I HIGHLY recommend Pihkal by Alexander and Ann Shulgin... that, and storming heaven by Jay Stevens are two of the best books I've read in the past 12 months. Well, I'm off to read Island and go to bed because I have to be up in about 6 hours. But, who needs sleep when you have caffiene?
Oct 19, 200117:57
on another note...
On another note.. I could definatly see myself with 1/2 sleeves... if I did get them, they would be pretty feminine ones... I used to not be fond of blue eyed guys.. but recently I've noticed a trend, I've been quite fond of guys with blue eyes, I've always liked blue eyes and black hair... but blue eyes by themselves were never too exciting... now I think I'm kinda fond of them. last couple guys I've been fond of have had blue eyes... I've even dated people older than me... and I usually prefer younger... eh, I still prefer younger tho I think... they are usually sweeter. Ack, dating is no fun, being let down constantly, finding out the guy you are dating is a moron... ack, no fun.
I ask Amber, is there anyone out there who is like me??? She giggles and laughs and says "You like to debate about shit that most normal people haven't even ever HEARD of." Hey, you too can join the debate, you just have to spend less time shopping for skulls and xbone crap and start reading more. heh.
Oct 19, 200117:47
fridays
Fridays do not rule. Fridays mean I have to work a split shift and close with Tim, my psycho driver. He is going to whine and complain and bitch tonite, and I do NOT want to hear it. What I do want, is for him to quit and have Brenan work there with me, and have Brenan, Jose and Callin to be my closers. Work would be pleasent again.
Oct 17, 200100:21
argh...
I'm being lazt today, I went to work this morning for only an hour 1/2 and then went to get my oil changed... and then went to go a meeting at the corporate office with my area coach... wasn't bad, 3 hours of just general discussion with other managers in my area. One of the training managers was there and she was giving me the evil eye, my sister who knows her, agrees she is pretty weird as well.
I'm convinced everyone good is taken or gay. I have no fucking luck. I've really started chatting it up with a driver at work, hes like, TOTALLY my type. But taken ::le sigh:: I suppose I can just keep up the witty banter and enjoy working with someone who is actually quite cool.
I didn't call Jason tonite, I was tired and he might be too if hes even back from Big Bear, or mebbe both of us are just kinda over it. Eh, hes cool, but I think we'd make better freinds if anything. I'll call him tomarrow and see if he still wants to go out for dinner this week. Either way, I'd be running into him whenever I go to the tattoo shop since he works there 4 nights a week.
Damn birds we are watching, are making a fucking lotta noise, I may have to kill them.
Oct 15, 200103:42
so bitter, so young
I'm sitting here chatting with an ex, who is prying about my sex life, and getting bitter because I made fun of him for using the term "bases" in referring to what I've done sexually with someone. argh....
Oct 12, 200122:53
la...la..la..
Its friday night and I'm deliciously bored.... my daddies outta town and Amber is staying the week, shes bringing over a bird that shes taking care of... and she was supposed to be here like, an hour ago... so I'm bored as all helll waiting for her.
I want christian to come over and entertain me, but hes sitting at home on his computer being lame as hell...
Oct 11, 200118:52
argh
Well, as I learned something new this week.. some people should just smoke pot, and some people should just drink.... and if given the wrong drug of choice, the results can be disasterous.
Amber got tattooed Monday, and Jason was working the shop, so we all decided to hang out afterwards... so we all go toa local bar, and mer, who doesn't drink usually just had coffee. Jason had 2 beers and 3 shots, shes NOT a drinker, he said that the day I met him, he smokes weed, and ALOT of it. (I'm more the pot smoker anyways too) Amber's more of a drinker, so she was just giggely. Jason, allready being a sarcastic kinda guy... pretty much ended up being beligerant (O'beligerant Mike VDS) and ended up crossing the line of good taste... a few hours later Amber was sober, and just PISSED, I was merely hurt. Luckily for him, he called the next day to apoligize, and I cut him short because I had to go to work.
So, today I called him and wanted to see if he wanted to go out to dinner Tuesday night. I said I'd take him out for his graduation. Conversation kinda strained... but he said he might be in Big Bear getting tattooed by a friend so it depends on what time hes back, if he stays down there (its about 2-3 hours away from here.)But he said after a minute of explaining, "Oh yeah I'd definatly want to go out.." Hes not a flake typically, and I think he sees it as a gesture that I accepted his apology for acting like an idiot the other night.
I suppose we'll just see how it ends up.
Oct 3, 200102:54
fucking europe
Well, I found out today my dad won a trip to europe from one of the companies he works for.... most he companies he works for do lil things like that for their reps.. and guess who he invited to go? Me.
Thats pretty cool considering hes never invited me to go on any of these trips... its London and its a week... I'm not sure when I'm goin, december, or mebbe summer... we might even take a short trip to Amsterdam for 2 days or so while we are over there since its so close.
Heh, this rules.
Oct 2, 200118:00
oh now you decide to work....
My freind came over to take a look at my 'puter, and he plugs it back in just to take a look, and lo and behold, it magically decides to work again. WTF. Oh well its working.
Man, I'm still sleepy, I didn't get much sleep last night, but eh, for a good reason if thats saying anything. ;)
I'm not so sure, but perhaps boys learn something as they get older... when they are about 20, they forget what teasing and forplay can do, once they are uninhibited and learn what sex is. When they are still virgins (ooh, my fave! hehe) they can't help but tease because they aren't quite sure how to proceed. Once they figure it out, they forget how they got laid in the first place, and go straight for the goal. I can't speak for all men, just the few that I've encountered... Perhaps as they get older, they learn to hold out and tease, and play around... AND that you can have sex in quite a few different positions in the same session. Eh, who knows.
Sep 26, 200102:09
did anyone ever tell you....
That compaqs are pieces of shite? Well, they are, don't buy one. I have one, I doesn't work, but its 3 years old, its okey, I only paid 500$ for it, because I'm smart like that. I saw an 800mhz with all the trimmin's I could use today at fry's I may just be buying a new computer.. I went home with 2 dvd's and crono cross because I'm a geek tho.
Man, this laptop of my dad's is farking slow.
I've been hanging out with Jason every couple days or so.. hes fun to hang out with, my gawd this boy smokes more weed than anyone I know. Eh, but hes absolutely functional, while I, on the otherhand sound like a moron while stoned. And I always think of these crazy ideas about aliens.
Dating is crazy, man. You have to play all these silly games, like who calls who, ect. I know there are plenty of fish in the sea, so I refuse get the least bit upset when a guy doesn't call right away. I may refuse, but eh, I can't stop frekaing out and overanalyzing every word or situation. Ack. "Whats does later mean???" :::hits self in head::: And yet again, I tell myself the same damned things, tell myself not to fall into the same damned traps, and yet, I always do.
Sep 16, 200117:07
my date
Well, funny thing... I go to work friday, and the kid I was so fasinated with quit the day before.. funny how those things work out, I think fate likes to tempt me and fuck with my head. Bastard fate.
Saterday... Jason from the tattoo shop calls, and I call him back, we make plans to hang out.. he got off work early and we went out at 10:30, we hung out till 5am, first at a coffee shop and then at Denny's. We basically talked for 8 hours, it was pretty cool... eh, vry cool.. he got a hug goodbye, I try to be a good girl on first dates... you just have to wait till the second or third to get laid. Heh.. j/k.
Sep 14, 200104:41
new tattoos
Well, tonight I got a crazy idea and finally went and got that tattoo I've wanted for a long time.
I got tolerance under one arm, and unity under the other. Right up near my arm pit.... just plain black, in a font I liked. The meaning is obvious... But, if teo things can save the world, its those two, IMHO.
On top of that.... I got a date outta it, the guy at the counter had a bit of a crush on me, and my tattoo artist noticed, I kinda did, but I didn't want to sound lame and say it. Either way, we chatted for a bit, and I gave him my number. Heh.
Sep 13, 200104:26
Last note for the night...
The world is on fire... I'm still reeling from the shock that this has REALLY happened... I read the newspaper quite a bit, I used to read it every morning last year when I had time at cosmo school during my breaks. And today, every damned one was sold out
If any ways, feel free to IM me or post in my forum (a fire inside), about your thoughts, I welcome any comments, thoughts, debates. Debating, is not immature squabbling and name calling, its the challenging of ideas. Without question, and challenge, no progress is made.
On a happier note, I bought floor mats for my car at target, I couldn't decide between the poerpuff girls and hello kitty, so I got 2 of each, the rubber powerpuff girls for the front (saving the world before bedtime), and hello kitty cloth ones for the back. Fucking rad. :)
Sep 13, 200103:51
agreed...
I was reading lowphats page, and I really don't care if its the popular idea on IAM to insult the US, but I have to agree with him on his "get the fuck out" statement.
If you don't like something, do something about it. Stop sitting on yer goddam asses and whining. I've been regestered to vote since I was 17, I've voted in 2 state and in last Nov.'s election. I'm 21, most people my age aren't even regestered to vote. I give a rats ass about my country and what goes on inside of it. Yes, my country is fucking retarded, yes, we've dones soem TERRIBLE things, but I think by far, the good outwieghs the bad.. and if a nation is in trouble, they always call our ass to come and help them. The same countries who are prolly calling us idiots right now are recieving my freaking hard earned tax money to help their lame asses.
Like I say to my whiney employees at work. If you don't like where you work, get the fuck out. Same goes for the country you live in. If you don't like our political leaders, VOTE. If you don't like our policies, get involved. Otherwise, shut the fuck up and stop complaining.
Life is what you make of it, no one can force you do ANYTHING, you always have a choice. Never, ever, forget that.
Sep 13, 200101:56
heh
I wonder if anyones gonna read the phone number... ?
Sep 13, 200100:43
sadness...
Its all been settling in now... I've been doing nothing but listening and watching the news since 7:30am yesterday... My heart just hurts with what I'm seeing. I've been crying constantly, people ask me, "do you know someone who died?" No, I do not, but that doesn't make me my pain any better. My head is swimming with questions of HOW this could of happened. I know why. Yes, like many other BME'ers I agree the attack on America was not unprovocked.
Meditation - Every coin is double sided, every situation is not as simple as it seems.
Americans cannot treat the world like they own it, yes, I agree, and we do. BUT, so many nations plea for our help and in turn, we are going to conflict with the nations they are fighting. If we support Isreal, we are going to anger many Muslims who are fighting for THEIR religious lands as well.
My soul is shaken with rage at the loss of innocent lives who had NOTHING to do with the war being fought in the middle east. I am not angry at the people behind it, I don't believe they are evil, they too were willing to die for what they believed in, but this cannot go on. By attacking this nation, any person must realize, they are provoking a war they may not be prepared to fight.
As much of an idiot I think Bush is, I agree for once, that this terrorist act, IS an act of war. Any country who would allow this to happen, either by supporting them, or by harboring them, must be willing to defend the nations they harm.
I don't want anymore innocents to die, I don't believe the killing of civilians is justified in any way. BUT, it IS a consiquence of war, it DOES occur, we must do what whatever it takes to prevent this from happening. I don't know if this means we should go to war, but if war means less people will die in the long run, and nations will be safer, then yes, I will support it.
We bombed civilians in Japan, no, it was not right, it was not okey, but the japanese gov't was not going to stop. When I watched "the grave of the fireflies" my heart went out for the japanese, and it still does... I don't know if more or less people would have died as a result of bombing or not bombing, but it was done, so many people died as a result, but it ended the war...
To fight ideas, the ideas of hatred, intolerance, predijuce, and greed, you MUST fight people. I hate it, I hate the thought of more lives lost, more families ruined, but if it means more lives saved, a better, more tolerant world, its ultimatly the best decision.
I do NOT hate the terrorists, I hate the unspeakable acts. I forgive the people behind this, even if I fully believe death, would be too kind a punishment for these people. I don't want them dead, as much as I want them stopped. And yet again, if that means war, I would be willing to fight that war.
Sep 12, 200104:08
Damn you gov't!
Heh, on a silly note... as someone said recently on alt.drugs.psychedelics, "take the heroin, but leave the acid!" If only Leary coulda' succeeded in turning on the whole nation, this may NOT of happened. Silly gov't.
I recommend buying or downloading Bill Hicks "The war on drugs"... especially his speel about shrooms, and why they would be so dangerous to our gov't. ;) God's unity with humans and nukes. :) in-ter-resting...
Sep 12, 200103:43
more thoughts
After reading so much on the interenet... its interesting to hearwhat everyones got to say... yes, our gov't is full of morons, but is there one that isn't? Yes, I agree that the US's imperalism is the cause of all this, (my mom didn't understand the term imperalism, she just kept saying "no, we are a democracy" yes, mom... but...).
I'm very worried about peoples reactions to America's islamic population... too many people allready think arabs are all terrorists.. now what is going to happen? I work in the food industry and of course half my employees I work with are non-white. One of the most gentle and sensitive men I know is my driver, ironically, named Usama. When our boss miscarried, he was almost in tears..
Just a few days ago we were talking about when he lived in Isreal, he had a good life, car, apartment, ect... no, he moved here and works 7 days a week at the gas station and a few days a week, delivering pizzas. He says he'd nevr move back because of the violence. Hes getting married on Friday, I sincerely hope this tragedy doesn't affect his wedding. Its so aweful, just to think that he will in the next few weeks bear the brunt of American ignorance, predijuce and hatred.
Shannon asks what are Americans doing to protect its palestinian citizens? Well, here in LA police forces are patroling Muslim centers.
Sep 12, 200102:24
...
Today, I wake up with a call from my mother at 7:30am, talking on my asnwering "Erica, wake up, answert the phone, Erica, its important..." I reach over, and she tells me about NY, and tells me to turn on the news...
I'm still literally stunned by what I can see... I started crying watching the news, on the way to work, and at work again today, my heart goes out to all the families and victims.
I abhor violence in any form... thats why when people who are stunned and shocked by this tell me they advocate the bombing of any country harboring the people behind this attack... I am appalled as well. All you are doing is perpetuating the cycles of violence and revenge.
Theses terroist acts are the result of people seeking revenge against the US for its actions in the middle-east. The suicide bombers thought they were doing a world of good by their acts...
Not that I'm sympathizing with anyone who is willing to commit such acts, I'm merely stating a point... I agree with the general consencious that we should stand united as a nation, and back our leaders (even if hes a moron) - BUT lets not lower ourselves to the levels of terrorists and kill innocent civilians on our way to serving justice.
Sep 10, 200103:15
sore...
Well, last night went well, the bounce house was as fun as hell and I spent half the party wrestling people in the bounce house.. nobody got drunk except for the birthday girl and I still have all my alcohol.. the crush didn't show up (typical)... so I din't get to play with him. ;) Mike VDS showed up, but I was kinda tired from jumping all night.. everyone left pretty much by 11:30pm, and alot of people ended up flaking out. :( But it was fun... except for the part where the pinata was FULL of glitter and my house was COVERED in glitter.
Sep 7, 200119:09
cleaning again...
Tomarrow is my friends bday party at my house, shes renting an astro jump and I]'m providing my house.. I love parties. :) Hosting them that is.. I bought 110$ last night worth of alcohol, and I still think we need more... the nice thing about the alcohol I buy, I add to my collection (which I never drink...) and can have more for more parties. Cute boy from work will be there... hopefully he'll come to his senses and let me jump his bones.
Aug 29, 200121:03
a day off...
Whew! Spent all day cleaning my house, car and such. I did 2 loads of laundry, two loads of dishes, cleaned my stinky rabbit cage, washed my new car.... and cleaned my bathroom.. now my house is nice and pleasent till my dad fucks it up again in about oh, say 2 days.
Aug 29, 200100:40
hmmm....
Kinda funny how we pretend that things don't bother us, or haunt when in reality they dog your every move. You try and tell yourself that it doesn't matter you are "over it." But your subconcious won't let you live it down, it'll haunt you nightly with dreams, and see signs of life when there isn't really anything substantial there to begin with.
Aug 28, 200103:28
.. tired
I think I'll be going to bed soon.. finishing up taping some CD's so i can pretend that I have a CD player in my car till I can afford to buy one since I'm freakin cheap and don't want to use my credit card.
Some chick on BME had one of the most annoying tidbits of brag/"wisdom" on her page. "Who needs an education when I'm making 30k a year at the age of 19?" Um, you my friend. Yes, you need an education for backup, for advancement and so you'll be smart enough not to buy a hyundai for christsakes.
Good gawd, I want to finish my cosmo school even if I don't want to go into hairdressing, its good for a backup and it looks great to future employers just to see you completed a college degree.
Life can make a complete 360 and you can end up VERY fucked if you don't plan ahead. I've seen it happen all around me. One day you may be riding the high life, the next month your whole career can be over due to circumstances way beyond your control and expectations.
Anyways, plan ahead, don't expect the world to be static and expect the unexpected. I mean c'mon, who the fuck woulda thought Dubya would actually have gotten elected?
Aug 25, 200105:27
New Car!!!
I got my car today.. I went through the credit union and they found the car for me, haggeled, and I only had to sing a few papers it only really took up 1 1/2 hours of my time.. never AGAIN will I try and buy a car from a dealer... re-fucking-diculous.
I put 2000$ down and got 7.5% apr... I'm a first time buyer and I have excellent credit.. I'm very proud of myself for being 21 years old, and buying a car all by myself.
Just in case you were wondering, its a 2001 Honda Civic LX coupe, its silver, stick, black interior, LX's come with a/c, cassette, power doors, locks, cruise control and a few other features... its quite a step up from my 63' bug, which featured um, NOTHING. I still have my bug too.. I didn't sell it, instead I just kept it and put my savings towards a down payment.
Aug 20, 200123:08
why the fuck...
Why the fuck are all the really good looking guys on BME- vegan, sXe, AFI loving lamos? Nothing personal. I dated one for 2 1/2 years, left a bitter taste in my mouth. ::spits::

boring as all fuck
My freind is sitting her trying to convince me that hes talked to this girl twice and he KNOWS she has a decent personality. I think hes just deluded by visions of getting some. Poor boy.
Aug 19, 200116:27
Tool show and such....
Well, I went to Tool, and I must say, it was fucking rad. I feel bad for anyone who wanted to go and missed it.. don't worry, they will be back.. there are some rumors of them playing a small venue on the west coast.. but I'm keeping all the details I know a secret..
I finally broke it off with Rob about 1-2 weeks ago, we decided we'd make better freinds than two people trying to have a relationship.
Boy at work who loves Tool finally got my phone number, now all he has to do is call dammit.
Aug 8, 200115:39
interesting...
I was talking to a guy at work yesterday who is also a Tool fan, and apparently he likes Lateralus's lyrics.. so I suggested for him to read The Doors of Perception, which to me, are highly influentia; to the album....
Aug 7, 200104:17
Got the salvia....
I ordered salvia divinorium.... I finally got it Saterday night... interesting.. but no breakthroughs.... I think 5X may be better for me.. but I will try again. I would think being 105lbs WOULD make a diference.. but alas, no.
I finished The Doors of Perception.... Lateralus's lyrics MUST be influenced by this book... There are almost lines that match up.... fasinating. Huxley is a joyful read.
Aug 2, 200117:24

-Rant-
Sometimes I get frustrated looking at all the BME pages, these people think they are so unique... the vegans and sxe girls with star tattoos and skulls and crossbones and all that shit... the goths with red and black hair, and braids.. the boys are bad, but I think the girls are worse...
They seem to have the same tattoos, some lame traditional shit, swallows and flames and stars and sacred haerts. They listen to the same bands, have the same hair cuts and have the same clothes.
But for some reason that eludes me, they think being in a clones in a "subculture" makes them unique? Most these girls spend just as much on clothes trying to "look" different as the cheerleaders and mass culture spends on trying to look the same.
Thinking differently is what is going to seperate you from the mass media, not dressing differently.
The vegans who don't eat animal products but don't adopt animals from shelters or do volunteer work aren't doing a damned thing. The sXe kids who won't drink caffeine or take medicines like advil, ect... are just being ridiculous... You are not using soda as a crutch or to get high... for christsakes. Some people just like the taste of soda.

sigh....
I was just looking at my ex's webapge.. and I feel sad... out of all the guys I've dated.. hes the only one I'd ever date again.. I feel sad because hes interested in other chicks.. and for some odd reason I'm kinda jealous. We've been broken up for almost a year now.. it should NOT matter... but I think with me, if I'm freinds with an ex, I still feel something for them.. the worst part, *I* have a bf, who I've been dating for over 3 months... hes sweet, but he does NOT stimulate me intellectually.. which bothers me... argh.
Jul 29, 200103:16
sleepy
I went on vacation this last week.. went up camping near Fresno.. twas fun.. I mostly read.... I read a FASINATING book.. Storming Heaven by Jay Stevens..
Jul 18, 200100:14
I can see!
I finally got my new glasses I can see again.. its nice.. before I was forced to squint at the goddam screen. I'm working over 45 hours a week now... so that leaves me lots of extra money...

Its been a REAL long time since I last ewrote in here.. me and rob kinda broke up, but are still totally together.. I'm getting a raise at work, the other manager quit before he could get fired....
Jun 27, 200122:09
Well...
Well, I finally got my hair cut today.. it looks good... really good.. my hairdresser did an excellent job... I think I wanna cut bangs tho again, because I miss 'em... he kinda cut them on one side... so I might as well cut tham all together.
Jun 22, 200103:25
haircut
I was supposed to get my hair cut today.. I drove 20 miles to my damned salon.. and my hairdresser asked me instead to be a model foor the toni and guy academy on tuesday... which could be fun, but I am way picky about my hair.. but its a good chance to see the company and to see the academy, because I may want to work there.. one of the girsl from my school was working there today, which rocks to see people I went to school with there today.
Jun 22, 200103:01

Jun 19, 200120:06
got the camara~
Well, I got my digital camara... it rocks.. its easy to use, and takes good pics.... heh-heh.
Jun 18, 200112:39
officially
Well, officially its my bday... my dad leaves me a check for a bit of money... I dunno if he allready bought me something and returned it when I mentioned I wanted $$ for a digital camara.. it seemed as tho he allready bought me something... when I said that... I HATE making people go through any trouble to accomidate(why does that spelling look SO wrong?) me...espcially my dad, who if he offers me money I totally refuse... I'd rather have nothing than take his $$... which I feel bad taking at all. But, I digress.. its my bday, so I'm gonna finish getting ready to go out to lunch with my sister and my mom....
Jun 18, 200102:32
birfday
Tommarrows plans include lunch with my mom and sister, and going to a bar with my bf and my friend amber and possibly staying in a hotel that night.. we'll see.
Jun 17, 200118:16
went to the tattoo shop
I went with my dad to the tattoo shop.. he ended up making an appointment for next sunday, I paid his deposit for his bday which was last month... he was impressed with the shop, as well, which was cool.
Jun 17, 200114:08
happy fathers day
My dad is super cool... I got him a thomas guide and a DVD for fathers day and today we are gonna go to the tattoo shop because he is thinking about getting a tattoo.. actually, hes wanted one for like, a year and wants the same thing he always has.... so we are gonna go down to check it out.
My bf found out that he does NOT have a kid... thank gawd.. my sister MAY be pregnant, this is way exciting because this'll mean I will have a neice or nephew...
Jun 17, 200102:28
good lord
I'm trying to find a good digital camara.. its not so damned easy.
Jun 16, 200106:03
allright
I finnally edited my page.. time for bed, its 3am and I have to go to work at 9am.
Jun 16, 200103:33
today was shitty.
Today, my car decided to die.. well the battery at least.. so I had to have that charged... and had to miss work because of it.. I got lost, and almost got into an accident and the other driver was a crazy old lady who couldn't speak english and wrote down my license number like that is going to do anything... ::calls police:: "Hi, I wanna report this girl for accidently cutting me off." "Uh, sure, we'll keep an eye out for her." She also asked for my drivers license.. not like to SEE, but to HAVE. I was like, "Um, no." Sure crazy lady, you can HAVE my license. She kept asking how old I was too... I was like "20." 3 times. For christsakes.
Jun 13, 200103:14
awwww
I was just reading Shannon and MiLo's diaries.. they are way too damned cute together. My bf is in my bed sleeping, I think i should join him soon.. tomarrow, Amber, Amy, Rob and Jay (mebbe) are coming over to get drunk. Fun stuff.
Jun 9, 200117:45
don't wanna work today....
I have to get ready for work in about 45 minutes... its a saterday night, and its prolly going to be busy, my other manager at work is this piece of shit, who I'd rather leave than work with. Last night I went to bed at 4am, my freind Amber and her friend Amy came over to Rob's house. 3 of Rob's freinds were there too, Amber ended up getting drunk, shes kinda a lightweight, and easily manipulated when drunk. Hehe, we almost got her to do an atomic situp... (if you don't know what ones is... well...)
Jun 9, 200117:27
argh...
I put my earrings back in, the 8ga in the front, and 12ga in the back, they had to taper the 12ga hole... its still sore and its been about 3 days now. Yesterday I took out the nipple rings, failed yet again. Damn. I could perhaps heal them if I didn't have a boyfriend for 6 months, but thats not happening anytime soon.

Jun 3, 200116:49
faked orgasms
I wanna do a scientific study on faked orgasms.... There is a discrepency on this subject.... Boys always tell me their gfs or the girls they've been with always have them or have them at least 80% of the time.. while girls always tell me they don't have orgasms with their lovers often, only a few times at most... so they fake them.
Hmm.... whats the truth?? I understand wanting your lover to be happy, because if they please you, they are usually just as happy as when have an orgasm themselves... And sometimes you are not into it, and you are thinking "hmm.. I need to put my clothes in the dryer so I can put the next load in the washer..." But! What I don't get is, how the hell are you ever going to get him to do the RIGHT thing if hes been doing it wrong all along and thinks its right???

money management
I'm making a plan for Rob, I'm gonna manage his $$... I'm pretty good at that shit... I'm holding onto his cash so that he doesn't end up spending all of it... he is so bad with $$ and paying bills its not even funny... He wanted to take me out friday night to dinner, movie then a concert, but in my heart, I can't let him... I know he needs his $$ to pay off his bills. He hasn't paid his car payment for 2 months... and owes them 900$... he owes a few people quite a bit of money... he needs to pay them back before he can take me out to dinner... I just wouldn't feel right taking advantage of him in that way.. doing whats best for him is more important than having a good time.
May 29, 200103:08
sleepy....
I bought rob some boxers today.. he needed some new chonies... swim shorts are not underwear.
May 26, 200115:48
updates
I'm getting excited... my bday is coming up.. yeah, I'll be 21... yeah! Anyways, I might be going to the Long Beach convention tomarrow... if anyone recognizes me.. say hi!

sleeping boy
Me and Rob are constantly together, my sister is starting to figure out that we are hanging out.. we had a 20 minute fight over it on the phone, she said a few really mean things, that weren't true, and sounded ridiculous at the same time... Rob is her assintant manager at her store.. she has this tendancy to freak out at times... she calmed down quickly... and then calls me back to ask rob if he can work more hours at her store... then talks to him about us... thank gawd... she kinda gave her approval.. well, basically didn't threaten to cut his balls off if he touched me.
May 20, 200117:21
hoping....
I might get a job as a medical secretary in my moms hospital... it pays 12$ an hour.. its 3 days a week, 12 hour shifts.. that would mean I would be maikgn around 1300$ a month... which, would be VERY nice indeed. :)
May 19, 200100:18
Listen Closely.
After about 10-15 listens to Lateralus, I'm finally getting the feel of the record, I highly recommend turning the lights down low, breaking out the bong, smoke some good weed, and lay down and just listen intently... You can feel the music in a way you can't normally access sober.
May 15, 200116:56
new tool
Dude, what could be better? Last night I got the new Tool CD at 12 midnight... I came home, smoked a bowl and played it twice... this is definatlyt an album you are going to have to listen to a few times to even get the feel of it...
May 14, 200117:06
bliss
Me and Rob have been hanging out nonstop since our date.. things have been pretty amazing to say the least. :) We spent thurs-sun together... I slept over thur, fri and sat... we went grocery shopping friday night he made me breakfast saterday morning... its been a long time since I felt happy like this... :)
May 4, 200121:58
Bored as fuck
I'm wasting time right now sitting online.. I'm so excited about Tool's new album, it come out in 11 more days... I'm so friggin' excited.. I don't think I've ever really been this excited about any album. I was lucky enough to see Maynard at a APC concert up close, 3 people back from the stage... he threw water on Amber... and I drank from one of the waters he threw out.. heh. :) APC was pretty awesome... if I don't get tickets through ticketmaster, I'll be getting them from scalpers even if I have to pay 300$.. its worth it to me. :)
May 4, 200101:34
plans
Tomarrow night I'm going to the Hub (local coffee shop) with Rob and we are meeting up with Amber (who I constantly hang with) and Kelly, who I haven't seen in a year and Damien, who is my really weird ex.
Yeah, I'm excited, my freinds get to meet my new lil boy toy. heh.
May 3, 200100:10
<g>
Needless to say the date went really well... I mean, we just REALLY clicked.. hes doper than fuck... anyways, we just were talking about what friggin' dorks we are and hwo he avoided me the first five mins on friday night because he said if he looked at me he'd be smiling.. and thats EXACTLY what I did when I saw him too...
He apparently was quizzing one of the drivers who worked my the store I managed at.... the driver was working at Rob's store monday and I'd been on a reluctant date with that driver... heh... funny shit. Well, we have plans for friday night.. so I'm stoked.
Apr 30, 200123:43
woo-hoo
Today all the local cosmo schools had a hair show, our school kicked MAJOR ass.. we were the most put together, with the best hair and models... I'm glad it all came together when we finished. :)
Rob called me tonite and confirmed our plans for tommarrow.. I told him i was gonna do his hair first.. he NEEDS a haircut... heh. And then my plan is to go out to dinner and go to a local coffee shop.. because I like to to talk.. or mebbe even better, go to the block.
Apr 29, 200121:11
ruby tuesday
Just got home from work... got some color processing on my head... anyways, Rob came into work saterday night (he was off.. but stopped by for food) and brought his baby in.. shes a total cutie.. My sister told me he had a kid, kinda odd... I've never actually been interested in a guy with a kid. He hadn't seen his baby in about 4 months because him and his ex stopped talking.. he was just melting with that baby. ;)
We made plans to hang out tuesday night... I'm kinda excited... hes a cool guy and I get to do his hair. :)
Apr 28, 200103:50
Mild Distraction
Tonite I worked at my sisters Pizza Hole store... I was a midshift manager and I finally wokred with Rob, her other manager who I thought was cute since I first saw him... I knew he thought I was cute.. but today he was kinda flirty.. telling me how my sister said he wasn't allowed to hang out with me, to call me or anything for fear of corrupting me. (if only she knew!)
I told him how I'm not as innocent as he thinks.. just lil details.. Anyways, he asked me to hang out sometime, and we exchanged numbers, but vowed not to tell my sister. lol.. she'll find out eventually..
Apr 27, 200101:44
Goodnigh'
Well, today I bought a waxing kit... fun stuff.
Apr 26, 200102:03
::sniff::
Well, Ryan graduated today.. kinda sucks, but then again, kinda good... He din't get to class until 2:00pm today and he just wandered around the dept. saying goodbye to everyone... he'll be back to practice for state boards tho... which, he won't be taking for a coupla months anyways. He ended up taking a picture of me and him together.. heh. Hes a sexy bitch. Apparently a bunch of the girls wanna jump his bones.. they took a client price list, and souped it up with a bunch of sexual favors. and costs.. one girl even wrote her goddam address w/directions on the back (along with DIVIRGENIZING ANNE - FREE in the price list).
Shit like that is kinda funny... people treat him like hes some kinda rock star... About 90% of the girls in there wanna fuck his brains out.. and he knew it. I never flirted with him like that, never grabbed his ass, never fell head over heels to try and impress him, One of the girls, Mary used to bum cigs off her friends and pretend to smoke in front of him just to get his attention.
By being myself, and not trying too damned hard, I got him in bed... heh.
Apr 25, 200101:00
::sniff::
Tomarrow is Ryan's last day of cosmo.. ::sniff:: I'm sad, but kinda happy in a way, no more drooling over what I can't have. I think hes finally given up trying to bone Monica... too bad he doesn't have a damned clue about how fasinated I am with him, I got him a card, so tomarrow I'll give it to him..
Apr 24, 200101:23
Pics are up
Mike piercing pics are up in the BME centre tongue piercing gallery... all the ones of the procedure.. are the ones I took. :)
Apr 17, 200102:19
hot piercer
I took my freind Mike to get his tongue pierced today... we went to Outer Limits and the guy who pierced my nipples was there... ::drool:: I took pics of Mikes piercing and when the piercer asked to see how they were healing, I obliged. Heh.
Apr 16, 200121:29
Hmm...
Boys are funny sometimes... I can't figure them out.. Ryan seems interested in me still, but who knows, monica, his normal "prey" wasn't at school today.. so who knows...
Apr 14, 200100:46
back to the salt mines
Well, my 4 days off from work and school was really nice.. I slept, partied, and managed not to spend too much $$. :)
Apr 11, 200113:51
speak the same language
I was trying to explain this to a victim, er, friend. Booty Calls should involve subtle coersion. Not out right "Hey, wanna fuck?" phone calls.. Its better to leave a sweet voice mail message in a sweet little voice that says "Hey, its me Erica, I was wondering what you've been up to? We haven't hung out in a while, I was just thinking of you.... anways gimme a call back whenever..." Hullo, those words should be smart enough for you to figure out, silly boy?
Smarter freind spoke the same language, "Hey whadda ya doing tonite? Wanna go to the hub with me?" "Or we could just hang out at my place, go in my spa orsomethin'" "Allright, sounds like a plan..." Fuck the spa, go straight to the bedroom. Heh.
Apr 10, 200115:05
interviews
I hate interveiws.. I was in my job interview for like, 45 minutes, I feel as though I did really good... he said he'd call in a week or so... They do backround checks and all that.. hopefully I get th ejob becausae I really want to get out of working at the pizza hole.
Apr 10, 200102:52
scary thoughts
I have a job interveiw 'marrow.. I'm kinda scared, but I feel very confident that I can get the job, I need to stay as positive as possible... I really, really hope I can get it... I have a really good feeling about it. :)
Apr 8, 200116:44
taxes
I tried filing my taxes online today at turbo tax, and it says I OWE 187$, what the hell? Last year I got back 400$.. this totally sucks ass, espcially since I may not have a job in two weeks (allthough I have a couple grand in savings)... my sister wants me to come and work for her... I could always go back to my old job at Togo's too if I needed money, I kinda miss it even.. who knows, I'll figure everything out.
Apr 8, 200104:35
2 weeks
I put my two weeks in at work... I told my boss not to tell anyone, because I just don't wanna hear all the questions as to why I wanna quit. Too, too much drama. My work sucks ass, everyday someone doesn't show up, its rather ridiculous..
Apr 7, 200105:40
story of my life
Well, Shea left, and immediatly Ryan is trying to jump this girl Monica's bones. Shes gotta boyfreind, but hes still trying to hook up with her now. I'm old news, heh.
Apr 4, 200100:40
whats next?
My nipples are a tad sore, but they feel pretty good today. The right one bled like a bitch for a few hours.. I kept having to change the toilet paper I had stuffed in my bra.
Today at school, someone was graduating (everyone graduates at different days, depending on how many hours they accumulated) and today I guess Shea was graduating, I had no idea she was, and that is Ryan's constant companion at school... now that she isn't going to be there... I dunno if I'll have the guts to go and hang otu with him.. someone wich me luck.
Pisses me off.. I have plenty of chances with all the guys i don't want, but the ones I want.. well... no such luck.
Apr 2, 200122:51
woo-hoo!
I dicted school today with a friend who went and got a tattoo (his first - 3 nautical stars down his calf) and I decided to finally get my nipples repierced... the piercer was totally hot and I couldn't refuse, you know? We flirted a bit and I tipped him 10$. :) I will have the pics up soon.
Apr 1, 200123:16
soul sucking hell
I finally got off my ass and went out and applyied for a new job, at borders and, don't laugh, hot topic. Hopefully I'll get the job at at least one of the places.. :)
Mar 30, 200120:23
finally
I finally stopped being such a pussy and sucked it up and asked Ryan to hang out wensday night... he said he might go and do hair for some photo shoot, but he'd call... he called. I went over there and we hooked up... this time he was way less self concious about his body than the first two times... we smoked a bowl, then he fell asleep.. heh-heh. I nearly fell asleep, but woke up and left around midnight... we were talking about hanging out with people solely for the reason of not being by yerself.. we agreed it was pretty lame, and I was like "Yeah, that why I sit and read the newspaper at lunch.." He was like "You could sit with me, but you choose not to." And I finally admitted to being intimidated by his freind Shea... well, anyways, we went back to school and just pretend like nothing is up. :)
Mar 27, 200100:22
fun with lsd
Allrighty... sat night I baked with my freind Christian... it was my second time, the last was 3 years ago.. t'was much fun. It was a house party and everyone else was drinking... I don't advocate using drugs all the time, but the occansional indulgence is fine by me.
Mar 21, 200123:18
new do
I'm trying out special effects on my hair.... I normally use punky color.. but I've been told special effects is the best to use... we'll see.. I'm using cupcake pink, I normally use punky color rose red, but its starting to buildup and my hair is getting dark.. not bad tho, makes my eyes look greener.. my hair needs a bleach retouch. ;(
Mar 18, 200115:43
boys boys boys
Sometimes, I just don't get it... I'm kinda seeing an old freind (ex bf, twice over).. he'd make a great best freind, but hes too flakey for a bf... I was talking to Ryan, my school obsession, and turns out he isn't going to move into the next classroom, he will graduate on our floor... a few people who should be on the next floor are staying in our room because they don't like the girls in their class... We sat together at break for the first time in months... I stopped sitting with him because of Shay.... this girl hes freinds with, she intimidates me. :(
Mar 11, 200119:44
full moon
Lat night ended up being a really weird night. Workj was shitty, I had a screaming match outside with my boss.. nothin' new. Then another coworker was pissed at me to begin with because he came to my party after it was over, so I was like, sorry dude, parties over, we are all going to sleep. Then he wanted to leave at 12am because he wanted to go to another party, and was saying getting really angry, sayoing he wasn't taking ANYMORE deliveries. WTF? Anyways, he starts yelling at me telling me I'm lazy (uh, right) and arrogant (ha, I admit that one.) and who am I to tell him what to do (oh wait, I'm your boss, remember?) - so I said go home, clock out. I will not take it... I won't deal with an employee like that, (he always refuses to listen to ANYONE in an arguement) so I sent him home. Our old manager stopped by, and I told him what happened and he says I did the right thing, and my boss said the same, so I don't feel so bad.

fun fun
I had a party at my house last night, about 25 people showed up, it turned out to be pretty damn good... there was enough alcohol, and nobody got too drunk and rowdy, well, my "best" freind got wasted but not to the puking point and was amusing thre hell outta everyone with her drunk ramblings. I didn't drink much, I smoked a lil... but it was my house, and I had to regulate if things got outta control, you know.

ripping yer hair out an' shit.
Friday night, I went to the local coffee shop.. and my freind was talking to someone when I came back from the restroom, and she says "Erica! Look!" I look around, then I look into the eyes of who she was talking to a few seconds later.. and recognize an old freind who I haven't seen in 2 years.. we chatted at the coffee shop, and made plans to hang out the next mornin'. We went to lunch with a group of people, and we plans to hang out that night, after I got off work... well, hehe... one thing led to another, and I had a very happy night. :)

Woo.. I gotta go to work tommarrow... no fun! I'm proud of me.. so far, I've had 3 clients this week, and I have another one coming in tommarrow... most the kiddies in my class haven't had one this week... or more than 5 this semester...

I broke up with my last bf in early sept... I met Ryan and we hooked up in october.. my ex wanted me back.. and he would always hug me goodbye and shite like that right outside class.. either way, I figure Ryan may have seen or heard about it, because after that I think he lost interest... and we stopped hanging out at lunch & break all the time...
fast forward, its 4 months later. he flirts with me.. and gives me sincere compliments on my hair.. and eyes.. which is nice. Flirts and makes me blush like mad. I look like a goddam idiot when I blush har-har.

paxil
Cosmo-boy Ryan is eating away at my brain again. I feel I am ridiculously infatuated. Eyes in the mirror... smoking weed makes your brain work in weird ways... I never thought of it till now... hes behind me, two seats.. my mirrors faces him, my back is turned to him. I look in MY mirror and see him looking at me too.. what I didn't think of until tonight was that to see my face, he has to look in my mirror... I'm just rambling.. but this is my freaking diary, so i can... allthough people are readint it, its nice to be able to vent.
Anyways, I'm going to break this up into a few entries...

grammys
The grammys are on tonite.. thrilling, ne? I don't care too much for the grammy's, I mean they pick some good stuff... but my faves NEVER win.. argh.

Its midnight...
Last night I closed at work and I ended up sitting outside my work till 5:30am talking to one of my drivers. I'd known him since kindergarden, but we went to different high schools... hes a nice funny guy.. I'd more likely go out on a date with him than this other guy at work that I'm going out on a date with tomarrow... the guy I was talking with is a christian boy, which kinda sucks, because I'm pretty much anti-organized religion... but hes not LAME about all it. Argh.. I keep getting crushes on all the wrong people.

Rant.
Why the fuck do people need to catagorize everyone on the planet? It seems like every couple of months there is a new "cool" catagory of people and type of music. "Emo" is the flavor of the month is sure seems. I can't fucking stand the way people think that by catagorizing themselves as some sort of non-mainstream genre, they have somehow trancended the "masses" and they are "original". No, you are not. You look exactly the same with your nautical stars, skulls and crossbones, messenger bags covered with pins (AFI and at the drive in this month?), baby bangs and lip gloss. I may hit the next emo kid I see.

coffee shops and MAC
Today was boring, I redyed my hair, bought some lipstick at MAC.. the chick behind the counter was hot.. she used to come into my old work because we are across the street from the mall. Then I went to The Hub.... and watched a band play.. then came home and cleaned my bathroom.. thrilling, eh?
Feb 13, 200123:56
Have I got it figured out?
I was talking to this guy at work, and I think hes helped me figure thinsg out.. I'm not intimidated by the guy in class himself, its his freinds that intimidate me. Espcially this one girl he is basically best friends with. They are almost always together at school, today she moved into another classroom, but hes still in our classroom for a lil' bit longer still... I needn't be such a pussy when it comes to actually talking to him.

Paralyzed
Ever met anyone who's intrigued you and paralyzed you so much you can't even talk to them without blushing? It shouldn't be like that.. we hooked up a last semster... There is a guy at school I know like that... he came back to our class 2 weeks late.. and now we are in the same classroom this semester and all day we play that game where you look at them and they look up and you look away like you weren't staring in the first place.. All day long this goes on.. easy when you are surrounded by mirrors.
Feb 4, 200117:36
Oh those Christian boys...
I went on a date last night.. my freind set me up with a freind of his that I met a few nights ago.. I went with him to get his tragus pierced, and I held his hand. Anyways, we went out to dinner at this noice seafood resturant and then went shopping at the outdoor mall thingy we were in. Twas' fun. Only thing - he goes to church as was really into it for awhile, so I dunno if hes still that religious.. cuz if so, things may not work out in the long run.

Bad ass!
I've been having a good day today. We learned this really neato haircut today in school, and I got a client today who had the perfect hair for the hair cut and she let me cut her hair like it.. I also did my first full head of highlights on this girl, and when I was all done, she smiled really big and said "I love it!" It turned out really nice, it makes me happy to see that I can make people happy and do a good job.

Back to the slave mines....
Eh, I had to work last night, twasn't too bad, allthough it sucks having to wake up at 6:30am, go to school from 7:50-4:30pm... then go to work at 5:30 till 1:00am.... I want a vacation... I made yummy turkey chili (homemade baby) it'll be ready to eat in about an hour - yummy...

Yo, I'm tired.. started cosmo school again monday, and I'm beat. Clsoing at work isn't helping either. My car also has been pissing me off lately... argh. I need sleep.

Yeah well, my computer died and my prints are trapped on my old hard drive for now. So I'll get 'em when I get 'em.
TWO days later I get-
Acording to our records you have fulfilled your obligation
as stated in the photographers release form you signed at
the Well Hung Suspension Event on 1/17/2005. The document
said (among other things) that you would supply us with a
hard copy of any photos taken during the event. Some of you
may have either already mailed the photos or in a rare
situation we may have received them and acidentally forgot
to take your name off this mailing list. If that should be
the case please reply to this email and inform us of the
situation. For those who have not sent them already, the
deadline (as stated in the release form) was two weeks from
the date of the event. It is not our intention to harass or
threaten anyone. We have so many things to focus on in any
given day. We do intend to carry out the release form to the
fullest extent of the law however if you do not contct us
and let us know what your situation is. We have found
photographers in the past using our images without consent
and even trying to sell them in gallery showings. We will
not tolerate this action and we do intend to prosecute if it
comes up again in the future. Hence the reason for the
photographer's release this time around. If you choos eto
blatantly ignore this email you are not only doing yourself
a disservice, you are also ruining the chance for
photography at any future events for ANYONE. That is
childish and shameful. For those of you whose mind it may
have slipped, I apologize if I seem angry in this letter.
There are a couple of you who have not responded to previous
attempts to contact you though. Do NOT ignore this, just let
me know what is going on and we will try to work with you.
Once the money is spent to get the lawyers into action
however there is very little we can do to stop them. Thank
you and sorry for the intrusion.
Seriously Brett, who wrote this letter? Did you write it? It sounds
more like you guys at well hung are crazy not angry. Legally
threatening people in the community if your suspension group doesn't
get its pictures ASAP? C'mon now, this is a bit much. Way too really
advance your reputation as piercers, a suspension group and a piercing
shop.
Well if you seriously took time to know what was going on
you would see that a) it was broadcast to several people and
even said if you feel this doesn't apply to you then just
reply back to me. b) The release form was very thorough and
anyone who did not agree to it had the right to REFRAIN from
taking photos. c) We'r etired of people having time to
submit photos from our events to BME and other places but
not having time to show proper appreciation for the people
that facilitated event in the first place. How much did it
cost you to come to the show and take photos? NOTHING... in
fact you still owe us the $10 door charge. Big suprise we
haven't gotten photos from you either. Have you heard me
haggling you about the $10 fee yet? NO. I think you should
step back and check yourself and really ask who is being the
asshole here. We don't make money off what we do. In fact in
most cases we lose it. It takes over two months of pretty
steady planning to pull this shit off not to mention all the
construction that goes into the rigs and structures, etc.
And then just to have someone cruise in one night take a
bunch of photos and never see or hear from them again. It's
depressing for the people who are expecting to see
themselves as well. Our participants have been nothing but
excessively nice and compliant about letting people
photograph them and in the end they're getting fucked. I am
not legally threatening anyone. If you would have read the
release closer, it said the exact same thing... so I am not
threatening at all. We are instead upholding our end of the
contract (which is exactly what the release form is). Sorry
you took offense to it. It wasn't written to ofend you...
but sometime sthe ones that are most guilty are the quickest
to get offended.
PS - Where's that ten bucks?
I paid you guys the day of the suspension. Jay didn't know I had cash
and I paid ANNIE my fee a few hours after we got there. If you don't
keep proper records thats your problem. I'm not guilty of shit dude.
I'm offended that you would DARE try to bully people, (more
specifically people not me, who might actually feel scared) into
promoting your event. I OFFERED to send in photos before I was asked.
I'm appalled that you would legally threaten people for photos, I sent
in my photos to BME under "well hung suspension group", guess whos
getting promoted? You guys. This isn't the first time your little
group was more concerned about promoting yourselves and putting on a
show, rather than facilitating an experiance for the people being
suspended. I gave people who I photographed my email address so they
could email me personally for their pictures, which was taken care of.
I would have gladly made an effort to recover those pictures off my
hard drive sooner for you guys, but for you to send letters
threatening legal action if you don't get your disc? Oh give me a
fucking break. Maybe no one else will say shit, but I will. Instead of
spending all your time promoting your events & making money off
people, you guys might want to learn proper hook placement and
remember before your crew decides to start drinking, they oughta
actually push out the air bubbles on the kids your suspending. Oh
don't even get me started on leaving hooks in for hours before people
suspend.
