1:15 pm - Ack, Eek! Must Clean!
|
Oh my dear heavenly goodness. I am doomed. Doooomed doomed doomed dooomed doomed.
Right now the --
~Living room of my apt. is covered in clothes, clean and dirty, souveneirs from trip, bags, assorted scrap, and who knows what all [can't see floor]
~Kitchen of my apt. is mostly clean, but a bit nappy [floor is visible]
~Bathroom of my apt. is Hideously dirty, dirty clothes and scrap all over. my tub need Mr. Clean to attack it with a pick ax, and my toilet is slightly better [floor?]
~Bedroom of my apt. is strewn with dirty and clean clothes, books and assorted crap. [floor is partially visible]
~ tiny back room of my apt. is covered in paints, supplies, dropcloth, and paintings [no floor to be seen]
And on Saturday I have 2 wonderful people spending the night with me.
Must Clean. Clean like the wind, clean clean clean Clean!
I, by the way, never clean my apartment. If someone is there with me, i can clean fine. But when i'm by myself, there is Always something better top do. But now i must CLEAN

8:35 pm - Twilight
|
I was just looking through my notebook when i found the names of artists and artwork that had captured my interest when i was going through museums in Chicago and NY. One artist, who i found in both the Art institute of Chicago and the Guggenheim in NY, is Gregory Crewdson. He is a photographer who elaborately and painstakingly stages his photographs, sometimes one photograph can take up to a month to do. I find them to be very beautiful, and some are downright creepy. My favorite is Untitled (Ophelia), which looks much better in real life. It's from his Twilight series.

5:55 pm - I love my friends

I was chatting on IM with a friend of mine, who was asking for advice with the girl he's kind of seeing. I gave him what advice i could, but then told him that i really didn't have much experience to draw great advice from. This was his response...
" bah... I would have the only sexy lesbian flirty friend with less experience with women than me."
I don't know quit why, but this continues to make me giggle. I lub my friends.

5:04 pm - blue hair, not quite the thing for weddings
|
I just called my cousin to see what kind of shampoo would be best to strip my hair. As it is blue. And while i like my hair blue. I do not want to be blue for my sisters wedding on September 7th. Blargh Any ideas?
Oooh ooh! I talked to my mom last night. It turns out that Sally (my sister) is doing what she always wanted to do for her wedding. She's having it at Frozen Head national park. All the guests are supposed to bring picnic lunches, lawn chairs and blankets, and wear shorts and t-shirts, or whatever picnic wear they want. She's always wantesd a wedding like that. And she's doing it, i iz happy for her.

4:46 pm - Ahhhh, feeling better
|
I had a wonderous day yesterday. I got a work friend to do my shift last night, so that i could go out to eat with a bunch of friends, including my friend Aeryn who was in from Chicago. Yay! He picked me up noon-ish and we went to Durty Nellys, a cool little irish pub. I had yummy fish and chips. I also tried fried pickles for the first time. I was quite afraid, but then i tried them and their actually very very good. Warning: let the fried pickles cool a wee bit before biting in to one. For while the outside may seem merely warm, the inside is still at aprox. 1,000,573 degrees. ouch
We went to the Acropolis to eat with everybody last night (wonderous greek food) We talked and laughed for a few hours. It was wonderful.
ack... post more later, must go make a call.

11:59 pm - My sister is getting married (the following is largely incoherent)
|
Ack, Eeek!
My sister just called to tell me she's getting married September 7th. She's been dating Steve for a while, but, Ah! I have nothing against people getting married. But i can remember being little and asking her if she wanted a booger, her getting paid to wash my long ass hair, tickling her in bed at night, her first day of high school, helping her get ready for dates and proms. Oh my gods. She's 24, more than old enough, its not that. And i do want her to be happy, and she is happy with him. I don't know why i'm crying. I'm so confooozled. My sister is getting married.
I'm writing this on here because everyone i could call is in bed, and i need to talk it out, write it out, whatever.

8:50 am - Saving the world, one snooze at a time.
|
I often have what i call snooze dreams. This is when either my alarm works its way into my dream, or i react to it when half awake. Usually in snooze dreams i am saving the world in one way or another by hitting my snooze button. One time i dreamt that i was a bomb expert in the middle of a big city, and i had to keep pressing a button on the bomb every few minutes to keep it from blowing up. I think my sleepy mind knows that i'm not likely to wake up if i'm busy saving the world.
I will also wake up halfway, and react to my alarm in what seems like a completely rational manner. I will bargain with the snooze, plead with it, and even give it a stern talking to.
This morning for instance I negotiated with my snooze for a good hour, saying that if it would just let me get warm i would wake up the next time. I was of course not awake enough to realize that my air conditioner was up to high and i'd thrown off my blanket in the night.
Anyhoo, snooze dreams, they amuse me.

If anyone ever gets the chance to see Chicago on Broadway, go see it! We saw it while we were there and loved it. The music was fabulous. My favorites were all that Jazz, Mr. Cellophane, and He had it coming. I have never seen that much black fishnet in my life. It was great

It's finally happening.
Tickets are bought, money has been borowed/loaned/given, and i am leaving for my trip tommorow morning at 10! We'll be in Chicago for 6 days, then in New York for 6. I can't wait!
I know what i want to visit and do in New York (been there before), but i have no idea what there is to do in Chicago. any ideas? All i know is that i apparently have to get pizza while i'm there. Oh, and if anyone knows of some stuff to do in either city that is fun but cheap, please tell me. As me and Sophia are fairly strapped for cash this trip.
Ooh ooh, and i got my hair cut again! I seem to go shorter and shorter with it. It's now about an inch and 1/2, 2 inches max and spikey. it's Fun. I vaguely resemble a porcupine, and look very cute and kick ass.
Did i pack shirts? hmmmm....

I'm enjoying myself!
I've been with family, visiting friends, bathing dogs, cooking meals, sleeping in the same bed with my sister (actually a good thing, it reminds me of when we were little) because her boyfriend and 3 month old dog are sleeping in her bed, picking blackberries, nuzzling baby cousins, seeing movies, eating pizza, lounging on the couch with whole family, doing months worth of laundry, taking showers with Actual water pressure, cuddling, taking a break from life. Ahhhhhh

8:00 am - long rambling post, beware
|
A post in Appelle's journal made me think of this.
I have a reunion type get together thing coming up on the 4th. And whenever i meet up with these beloved people i get asked questions. They have the best of intentions, and i know they love me, but ooooh. I usually evade certain questions, or give half answers. What would happen if i answered like i want to? Here are my guesses
Them: So how's school?
Me: Well, I quit. i have no intention of going back to that hell hole ever again and have no real inmediate prospects except for the cheap ass job i'm squeaking by on now.
Them: Have you found a church you like?
Me: Well as a matter of fact no. In fact i've been pagan for a little over three years now, have been formally trained, and am currently running a coven while my priestess is on sabbatical. Would you like a hotdog?
Them: Do you have a boyfriend?
Me: Actually no, i do still like men, but lately i've been enjoying women.
hee hee hee heeee, but no

9:06 am - Tennessee budget, or the lack of
|
Tennessee has idiot politicians. They couldn't decide on a budget. So we are now in partial shutdown mode, a skeleton crew type thing, for all government related offices and groups. And as i work for a University computer lab, which is funded by the state, we're doing the skeleton crew type thing to. Blaaaaaargh. Every day now (until we get a budget) somebody has to give up their shift so that we can have the minimum number of hours logged for the day. Of course we only find out if it's our day to get cut after we've gotten up, put on great eyeshadow, and come in to work. Blaaaaargh i say again. Oy, well at least i have a job, a lot of the offices in my building are empty because they are seen as non-essential. Some people who are taking summer courses won't even be able to graduate in August like they had planned, because they've canceled the last session.
Blaaaaaaaaaaaaargh

9:15 am - he he he he he i'm screwed *whimper*

In two weeks i leave for my trip. A week in Chicago, and then a week in NYC. I am happy about the trip, and looking forward to it.
I need to come up with:
$200 for the rest of my plane ticket
$200 for eating and museum tickets and such over the two weeks
My next paycheck should come to roughly $220, which is all going toward rent
i can scrounge up $150 from assorted bank accounts and such.
so how am i paying for this trip?
I have no idea.
I think i may ask for a loan from Gary (the guy we're staying with in NY)
I hate bills, and needing money and all that crap. arrrrgh
I want this trip, ooooh do i want this trip.
i wonder if i have anything, that i don't need terribly, that's pawnable. blah

8:52 am - Detached retinas and friends who look like pirates
|
My friend Amber went in for emergency surgery yesterday morning for a detached retina. she'd had a blind spot for a little while and was waiting till she had enough money to go to the doctor. One friend finally convinced her to go in, and worry about the money later. And it's a good thing she did. It turns out her retina was nearing the end of the time when it can be fixed, a few more days and she would have been blind in that eye.
And the doctors kick ass! They worked it out so that Amber only has to pay $160.00 as opposed to thousands of dollars. Woohooo!
I stayed with her for most of the day, along with her man Brian. She has a patch over one eye which will be taken off today, and then a smaller one will stay on for a week or so. And after 3 weeks she should be almost as good as new. I won't get into details of the surgery, as it's pretty gross. But she's doing good! The doctor has very high hopes of a complete recovery. We've been joking around with her, and she with us. calling her a pirate, and making jokes about the propane gass bubble (and how flammable it must be) that has taken the place of her eye fluid. Yay for non going blind friends.

9:11 am - ah, love parties
|
I went to a friends b-day party the other night, it was loads of fun. different people brought food. one guy brought shishkabob makings, others brought corn, salads, bread, everything was good. Her husband made her choice of cake (tomato soup spice cake with cinnamon butter cream frosting), which was yummy. then we all went and jumped in the pool. We had turned the pool heater on early, so it was nice and warm. It was really funny. there were about 20 people in the pool. it was about 11 pm by then, and only one pool light worked, so people were always colliding under the water. We dunked each other and talked and played for a long time. After a while some people would get out and go in the sauna, which felt delicious. A few crazy people would go stay in the sauna, then run out and jump in the pool, again and again. we didn't give ourselves heart attacks, and it was lots of fun :) he he he he, at one point i got dunked by brian, who is a rather tall bulky soul. I made the mistake of trying to dunk him in the shallow end. I had my arms around his neck and my legs around his waist trying to fling him under... and then he stood up. it ended up taking me, his girlfriend, and another girl to make him go under. but we got him mwa ha ha ha ha.
anyhoo, had lots of fun, swallowed half the pool, good times.

Life is Gooood. I am very thankful for my usually optimistic nature. For while i am aaaaalmost broke and there is no light at the end of my financial tunnel of doom, i assume the light will eventually show up. And everything will be fine. Wheee!
I'm hopefully going top go out with my good buddy Shannon today. Unless of course a pail of frogs land on my head. then i shall perhaps not go. maybe.
I need to buy b-day prezzies for friends, and buy me a mello yello. i haven't had one in over a week due to my "I have $.24 to my name" status. But i got payed yesterday. and after paying off the mob (phone and power companies) i have a wee bit left over. By Thor's left butt cheek! I will have a mello yello!
