[20 Nov 2002|08:50pm] some of you already have seen this, but for those that haven't.... http://www.improvisation.ws/mb/showthread.php?s=&threadid;=4475 I've been sucked in. I've been reading on and off for about five hours. This is just fascinating. post comment

Crystal the hair goddess (kinda a girlie rant) [20 Nov 2002|07:50pm] [ mood | in love with soft shiny new hair ] [ music | Amon Tobin - 4 Ton Mantis ] For those of you who never think about such things.... I have impossibly thick hair. I have a TON of it. It's very heavy. I frequently cope with it by getting layered cuts, but my hair generally annoys the hell out of me. Lately its been bugging me a lot, but I haven't wanted to go short, as I've been growing it awhile, and like it long. I havent wanted to dye it, because I've been dye free since march, and seeing my natural color is interesting. I haven't wanted to get a perm, cuz its scary at best. I don't own a blow dryer, I dont own a curling iron, I dont like goop, and I refuse to spend more then two minutes on it. I've been getting desperate. Solution: call Crystal. Before tonight, I've only seen Crystal once. She works at a place called Cleo's in the mall in Chico. This is generally an unimpressive statement, but somehow I struck gold when I randomly wandered to her chair shortly after moving here. She's young, and only recently licensed, but she's good, she knows her shit, and she understands my hair. I've only ever found one or two other people so far in my life who have. We bonded. So tonight, in a fit of desperation, I called. She can see me in ten minutes. Totally stoked, I rush out of the house. I get there, tell her of my dispair. She informs me of some super uber cool haircut technique she learned from some uber cool famous guy earlier this week, says it will be perfect for my hair, and can she play now? I agree, and she goes to work. About an hour later, she spins me around and I drool. My hair is so cool. Things I learned today: I have GOT TO get a blow dryer. I haven't owned one for years, but having seen what they can do even by inexperienced idiots like me in UNDER TWO MINUTES I am totally ready to buy in. When blown straight and given a shine boost by some super good smelling goo that isn't sticky or icky or in any other way aversive to me, I have super soft neat hair that I've envied on heads belonging to Julienne Moore and Lucy Liu. If my hair was still as red on top as it is on the bottom, and I didn't wear my glasses, and my hair did the straight soft thingie with the cut I currently have, some would say I bear a vague resemblance to Julienne Moore. This amuses me. I told Crystal I loved her and tipped well. She said to call if I ever needed styling tips or had questions. Yay. 5 comments|post comment

A note about my sister [18 Nov 2002|07:55pm] [ mood | devious ] [ music | Juliana Hatfield - My Sister ] My sister just turned 20. She's a pretty cool kid, in that she isn't evil. However..... She's kinda... reserved. Conservative even. I might even go so far as to say she's got a stick up her ass. She's very intelligent, cute, and always speaks her mind. But.... she doesn't get out much. Doesn't date. (Ever). Says the boys in the little town she lives in are "unworthy." Isn't interested in girls either. Doesn't have much of a social life. Doesn't seem to mind. Doesn't have any obvious or known vices. Saves her money, owns her own living space. Kinda snobbish, but at the same time, nice enough for the most part. Has a good work ethic. She's a good kid, but needs some loosening up. She's given me her permission to kidnap her for her 21st birthday, which quite convieniently, falls on a saturday next year... november 15th. The plotting begins. I've not decided if I want a big bash, an intimate dinner party, or something in between. All I know so far is that I will feed her good food, get her intoxicated, and provide people for her amusement and potential downfall. I'm now taking suggestions/volunteers. 6 comments|post comment

[11 Nov 2002|09:13pm] There is something in the water in this town. I normally hate shopping. Lately I've had the urge to do it, but when I go to malls, usually in the bay area, on weekends, I can never quite bring myself to buy much. A couple weekends ago, I bought a couple sweaters, but thats it. There is something about Chico though.... Total for today: Two sweaters, three long sleeved knit tops, one long sleeved button down "nice" shirt, a pair of jeans, a birthday present for my sister, some strange "stays on forever and then some" lipstick that I actually chose a good color for, mascara, eyeshadow, and some lotion. Grand total spent: $175.49. Not too bad. The jeans were semi expensive compared to the rest of the crap I bought... but only because the stupid Gap is one of the only places that makes jeans that fit my bizzare shaped bottom half. I don't know how I do it... my last big shopping spree was in Chico too. I speculate it's because the mall is mostly empty in this backwards town, so I don't get my whole anti crowd thing, which is mostly what drives me out of shopping areas in the bay area. There is more then just that though.... maybe it's the fact that this is a scary clone center, and there really is something in the water that plants subliminal messages to go buy trendy clothes. I feel a certain degree of guilt for that spree.... but it's lessened by the fact that I really did need those clothes, as most of my other stuff doesn't fit that well, and I needed some more "work appropriate" attire. Besides, I have the money, and I'm not shirking any responsibilities by spending it. post comment

[05 Nov 2002|08:35pm] I'm probably lame for having no clue what a Thelemite is, but we all knew I was an empath anyways. ( quiz results ) *goes to look up definition of Thelemite now* 2 comments|post comment

Need music [04 Nov 2002|05:21pm] [ mood | craving new input ] [ music | howard jones - What is love ] I've done this before in different formats, but I'm not sure if I've tried it via LJ before. I have way too few mp3s... somewhere in the 800 range I think. It's not nearly enough. In most instances, I have several songs by bands I like, but I'm not generally a "whole CD on mp3" type of girl. The noted exceptions are my 80 something They Might Be Giants tracks, my entire album of Frank Zappa, Tom Petty, and Pink Floyd (the last three being things I downloaded the entire albums for the purpose of learning the songs on guitar). I tend to not be able to think well of what I want to download, and while I occasionally download random stuff, I prefer to be turned on to music by other people. I never listen to the radio. So, my request to everyone who reads this is to comment with some musical suggestions for me. Things you like, or think I'd like, or whatever. Give me the name of a band or five, and some tracks to try. I download stuff quite rabidly, and can find most things. What I like isn't really all that important here, although I know a lot of people *need* to have that information when making suggestions. I tend to like all sorts of stuff, most notedly including 80's, industrial, goth (if it's appropriately melodic), generic rock type stuff, power pop, and some techno. I know a lot of those things have vast subcategories... I dont care enough about categories to tell you what I like and don't. If it sounds good, I like it, thats all there is to it. I like music where all the pieces of it fit together in a harmonic way. I don't know how else to describe it. Also, notedly, I'm not fond of rap, hiphop, country, or any type of gospel/christian rock. So, if you'd all be so kind as to send some suggestions my way, I'd love you lots. I'll comment back on what I like and don't, to help the process along. Thanks :) 18 comments|post comment

[04 Nov 2002|06:21am] Yesterday was day nine, and I didn't see an accident. Thus ended my 8 day streak. Yay. At least I didn't see this..... http://www.cnn.com/2002/US/West/11/03/car.wreck/index.html I'd like for the energy of things around me not to be that fucked again for awhile, thank you. post comment

[31 Oct 2002|06:24am] For those of you in lands far away, who wonder wtf the big deal is about Chico and Halloween, here is some reading material. http://www.chicoer.com/articles/2002/10/31/news/news2.txt http://www.chicoer.com/articles/2002/10/31/news/news3.txt http://www.chicoer.com/articles/2002/10/31/news/news4.txt The first is a general heads up. The second talks about traffic and laws for the evening. The third is about the local hospital being on disaster status for the evening. I wanna go home. 6 comments|post comment

[30 Oct 2002|09:55pm] My halloween costume is now fully ready. My roommates are having a party tomorrow. I sorta object to this, considering that no one asked me if I minded if a bunch of people came over and kept me awake all night, but such is the way of communal living. I figure I'll give my costume a trial run, and *try* to make it asleep by midnight. One thing I'm hoping is that once I get tired enough I'll pass out no matter how noisy it is. I normally love Halloween, it's my favorite holiday. This year though, because of the party and some nonsense at work and the reputation Chico has for Halloween.... I'm just kind of dreading it. For me, halloween is saturday. *anxiously waiting* 2 comments|post comment

[30 Oct 2002|05:31pm] Several people have been getting good horoscopes from this guy today, so I checked it out. Here's mine: "To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under heaven." So begins the third chapter of Ecclesiastes in the Bible. There is "a time to be born, and a time to die," it continues, "a time to get, and a time to lose; a time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak." For the purpose of your horoscope, though, the most important polarity mentioned in Ecclesiastes is this: "a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted." For I say unto you, Capricorn, that it is time to pluck up that which was planted many months ago. Halloween costume suggestion: not a grim reaper, but a happy, grateful, satisfied one. Ooof. post comment

R.I.P. Solaris [30 Oct 2002|04:04pm] [ mood | sad ] Solaris, my old cat, died this morning. She was really old, and quit eating after having surgery for a broken femur last wednesday. She was surrounded by "family" when she passed. No comments, don't want sympathy. Just want to mark her passing and have a moment. She was a good kitty. On another note, Packet is still missing. I think it's about time to consider him not coming back.
