going to see a show alone for the first time tonight- jen wood at the paradox. i think it will be nice, low key. first i am off to work, though. i have a really good outfit on.
my life takes twists and turns at every corner that i can never see coming, and it makes for much moodiness and confusion. i never ever know where i will end up. i keep running and running, trying to fix things and make them better, but i always end up back where i started and i think i am beginning to learn that i just can't run anymore.

it is uber-toasty here. gross + sweaty.
i want to see stuart little 2. i think.
so many good shows coming up...yeah yeah yeahs, hope sandoval, sleater kinney, maybe delta dart if i'm lucky. good music makes me happy. i have become less and less fond of live shows as i grow older, and it is only when i really love a band that i have a good time. lately all the bands i've seen i've loved, and it has been really, really nice.
fao schwartz is hiring. perhaps i will hit that shit.
off to work.

saw sleater kinney, the gossip, pretty girls make graves, ursula and the androids this past weekend. did i already write that? oh well, it was that good.
i'm going to visit ms.jenn in olympia tonight. fun fun.
worked all day, got a little straw mat for 99 cents, and one for anne too because they were so goshdarn cheap.
oh yes, things are good and well, for my one of my favorite femme/fag pairs will be arriving in less than a month. no really! and we are gonna move in together. and it will be gorgeous. and my high level of sobriety will surely be put to an end.
the new krs compilation is *so* yummy. if you can, buy it, because it has new songs from two ton boa, the yeah yeah yeahs, delta dart, among others...i sound like a commercial. but it is really good.
the yeah yeah yeahs are playing here september, as is sleater kinney. how stoked am i?

watched st. elmo's fire for the first time last night with laura. that shit is crazy, have ya'll seen it? so much drama, so little time. i dyed the mullett-ier part of my hair a brighter red. bought a curling iron and have taken to curling my hair a la debbie harry. went out to a fun bar with a fun boy last week, where we drank rolling rock and listened to blondie and pat benetar. the devics show is tues. and i am very excited. jenn, doll o' mine, sent me the new delta dart album and i am in love with it. got the job at the day care center, yee-haw. thinking about selling my soul for a glamorous pair of betsey johnson pink glittery 4 inch heel mules.

hello kittens. had a good weekend, saw glass candy x2 and bratmobile. interviewed at a day care center and it went well. my work hours are getting pumped up which is nice, means more money and less hours to sleep. got a hair cut, it's chryssie hynde core. want new tattoos. the devics are playing next tues., i can't wait. missed mary timony last night because no one could go with me and it was in a sketchy part of town. so sad. am reading the collected works of carson mccullers and wish i was even close to half as genius as she. weird crushes left and right. going to a bar tomorrow night where the theme of the night is the music of prince. my apartment is hella hella messy. miss you all, for reals.

hey ya'll. sorry i have been gone so long. seattle is good, i dig it. i have one job and am looking for another. it's cold some days and hot some days and i have like thirty two cents in the bank but i just got a paycheck so it's all good. i have been to a goth club, a dyke bar, a gossip show, a mates of state/mirah show, and all were fun, except for the dyke bar 'cause being the only femme in there sucked.

bye bye again. leaving for seattle at 8am tomorrow. i am quite plussed.(as in the opposite of non-plussed.) don't know if that's a word, but i like to make use of it either way.
friends: i have a new email address. it is antiqueheels@hotmail.com. if you want my new address ya'll should email me so we can send each other mix tapes and letters and kittens.
it freaks me out when i think about the fact that there are all these people on the planet i used to be friends with, they exist and are having these lives i used to be a part of, and now for some reason or another we're no longer friends and totally alien to each other. but they're still here, on this earth, and i'm still here. i don't like it. i don't like losing people, i don't like being estranged from them. it's like this bag of pasts i have, each person gone represents such a specific part of my life, and i have to cut it out because it's too hard to keep. too time consuming, too scary, too sad, just too exhausting. but i can never pretend they were never there, because they were. and it's a pattern in my life, i do have many friends who i keep close by, but there are also many who have come and gone. because they tore me apart, and it was too much. my body became too sore.
sometimes i just have to take care of myself.

saw bottle rocket and rushmore with nikole, lester, and joel last night. t'was good times with good people, as always. i got a milkshake before hand that really did my head in. after rushmore i went to the tiny bathroom and discovered that i had gotten my period, which was not fun. had to stuff toilet paper in my underwear, which is also not fun. saw some people at the theater who i used to know, and who used to know me, and we didn't say hi. it was awkward, i know they saw me and i saw them. eh.
i think that my light headedness, hot flashes, and naseau are due to me not taking my meds lately. that'll teach me, i guess. sigh.
got my hair trimmed today, bought some new seamed stockings. am going to pokez with em later, and hopefully will be hanging out with erin tonight. i haven't even started packing yet, i guess i should do that. i spoke to anne last night and am getting super pumped about seattle. it hasn't even really hit me that i'm moving, into my own apartment in a brand new city. wow.
really, all i want to do is listen to t rex and tease my hair.
or read david sedaris articles: http://esquire.com/humor/sedaris/articles/
current music: "jitterbug love"- t rex

ya'll, an episode of "family matters" just made me cry.
but it *was* a tearjerker. there was all this racist shit going on at laura's school, and her grandma told her this touching story...i just teared right up.
ok, this shit is hilarious. from themorningnews.org, a "mediator" speaks on gay marriage(which i just wrote a paper about):
Homosexuals are not to refer to each other as ‘husband,’ ‘wife,’ or ‘spouse,’ nor may they use traditionally hetero terms of endearment such as ‘honey,’ ‘sweetheart,’ or ‘babe.’ Acceptable are ‘partner,’ ‘companion,’ and ‘I think you’ve met my friend Joe.’ Heterosexual couples must always address each other in their normal speaking voices and are not to engage in ‘baby talk,’ except when speaking to an actual baby. This prohibition applies to pets, particularly cats, but not baby cats.
Wedding bands must be worn on the right hand by homosexual couples, and on the left hand by heterosexuals. No exceptions. This rule will be strictly enforced in order to avoid a repeat of the ‘right ear/left ear’ diamond-stud fiasco of the late ‘70s.
Heterosexuals shall limit their number of ‘bridal showers’ to one, unless two or more bridesmaids are not speaking, in which case a second ‘couples shower’ is permitted, at which gifts shall be limited to barware or tools. Homosexuals may register at the department store of their choice, although not for the following flatware patterns: ‘Buttercup,’ Old Atlanta,’ ‘Aegean Weave,’ or, obviously, ‘John and Priscilla.’
At the reception, gay couples may hire a DJ, but not a band (see ‘Chamber-Music/Folk-Duo Exception’). The DJ shall be instructed to avoid any song on the attached list (and please note the ‘Proud Mary’ addendum). Heterosexual couples forfeit songs by Erasure, and tunes from all post-Oklahoma, non-Andrew Lloyd Webber musicals. Gay and straight couples agree to share Sinatra, Streisand, Elton John, and ABBA, but gays will put in writing that straights can have ‘YMCA’ to themselves. Until the courts resolve a related custody dispute, the music of Cole Porter is off-limits to both parties.
Gay wedding cakes may not reach a height of more than four inches and should be of the ‘bundt’ variety. When cutting the cake for the photographer, homosexuals may not participate in the beloved (although latently hostile) tradition of smearing icing on each other’s faces, but instead should threaten each other comically with broken champagne flutes. Heterosexuals will no longer be required to kiss when a guest begins drumming on the stemware with her spoon. Relatives or friends who wish to make newlyweds kiss must now solve one of five quadratic equations written on a chalkboard near the bar. Show your work.
Homosexuals may adopt up to two children per couple, provided the adoptees, in precognitive testing, do not show an aptitude for team sports. Heterosexuals agree to limit their offspring to a number no greater than the couple’s combined hands and feet. Heterosexuals who find themselves with more children than limbs (due to poor family planning or tractor mishap) may retain custody under the current ‘Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell’ policy on breeding.
If the backyard of a homosexual couple features an outdoor pool that is visible from the street, no more than six additional homosexuals of the same gender (in addition to the resident, wedded couple) may be in the pool simultaneously, except for an organized game or activity at which score is kept. Heterosexuals agree to stop defining gays strictly by their sexual orientation and judge them the same way they assess other heterosexuals: by the tidiness, texture, and hue of their lawns.
Homosexual couples will remove rainbow-patterned windsocks and all novelty flags from their porches and decks forthwith. Heterosexuals may not put curtains in their garage window to make it look like a living room from the sidewalk.
Homosexuals may not own a propane grill wider than 36 inches, nor one with more than two warming racks. Heterosexuals can keep the concrete yard geese but must stop dressing them like people.
Both homosexuals and heterosexuals will stop sending their kids to Boy Scouts, which, everyone agrees, is ‘kinda gay.’

i bought the rebecca pearcy fishbowl purse today. i found it by chance at a store in pb and could not pass it up- it is wonderful.
i have been feeling naseous and sweaty every time i go out lately. light headed. hmmm. preggers? survey says no, but if sure feels like it.
my mother and i went to see "life or something like it" earlier. i think angelina jolie's hair in the film is fantastic. big big blonde bouffant.

I GAVE IN.

i'm so ashamed, but deliciously enticed by the catchy, over-hyped tunes.
