I decided there are people in my life I rather not know anything about me. They can take my image and what I project out there, and run with it. Think and feel what you want about me. For those of you that know me, I hold you close to my heart. This is my life now.
Now I get told I look like some chick in Girls Aloud (british girl power pop group??)
wtf
Palin Says Her Daughter, 17, Is Pregnant
By REUTERS
Filed at 11:45 a.m. ET
ST. PAUL, Sept 1 (Reuters) - The 17-year-old daughter of Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin is pregnant, Palin said on Monday in an announcement intended to knock down rumors by liberal bloggers that Palin faked her own pregnancy to cover up for her child.
Bristol Palin, one of Alaska Gov. Palin's five children with her husband, Todd, is about five months pregnant and is going to keep the child and marry the father, the Palins said in a statement released by the campaign of Republican presidential candidate John McCain.
Bristol Palin made the decision on her own to keep the baby, McCain aides said.
"We have been blessed with five wonderful children who we love with all our heart and mean everything to us," the Palins' statement said.
"Our beautiful daughter Bristol came to us with news that as parents we knew would make her grow up faster than we had ever planned. As Bristol faces the responsibilities of adulthood, she knows she has our unconditional love and support," the Palins said.
The Palins asked the news media to respect the young couple's privacy.
"Bristol and the young man she will marry are going to realize very quickly the difficulties of raising a child, which is why they will have the love and support of our entire family. We ask the media, respect our daughter and Levi's privacy as has always been the tradition of children of candidates," the statement concluded.
MCCAIN KNEW
Senior McCain campaign officials said McCain knew of the daughter's pregnancy when he selected Palin last week as his vice presidential running mate, deciding that it did not disqualify the 44-year-old governor in any way.
In the short period since she was announced last Friday, Palin has helped to energize the Republican Party's conservative base, giving the McCain camp fresh energy going into the campaign for the Nov. 4 election against Democrat Barack Obama.
McCain officials said the news of the daughter's pregnancy was being released to rebut what one aide called "mud-slinging and lies" circulating on liberal blog sites.
According to these rumors, Sarah Palin had faked a pregnancy and pretended to have given birth in May to her fifth child, a son named Trig who has Down syndrome. The rumor was that Trig was actually Bristol Palin's child and that Sarah Palin was the grandmother.
A senior McCain campaign official said the McCain camp was appalled that these rumors had not only been spread around liberal blog sites and partisan Democrats, but also were the subject of heightened interest from mainstream news media.
"The despicable rumors that have been spread by liberal blogs, some even with Barack Obama's name in them, is a real anchor around the Democratic ticket, pulling them down in the mud in a way that certainly juxtaposes themselves against their 'campaign of change,'" a senior aide said.
I hate that bitch so much. She is the anti-clinton, and any disillusioned Hil-dog fans that are intelligent will see right through her. I'm offended that McCain even thought something like that would work. She hates POLAR BEARS and wolves. She is opposed to abortion (and wants Roe v Wade overturned) under any circumstance including rape, incest and the health and well being of the mother. She wants creationism taught in all science classes. HER HUSBAND WORKS FOR BP FOR FUCKS SAKE - she is connected to big oil.

also, Joey Cheek is from Greensboro. Fuck the Chinese Government. I am really sad that my dad is in that country until december.
China revokes ex-speedskater Joey Cheek's visa
Former Olympic speedskater Joey Cheek had his visa revoked by Chinese authorities Wednesday, hours before he was set to travel to Beijing to promote his effort urging China to help make peace in the war-torn Darfur section of Sudan.
Cheek, the president and co-founder of a collection of Olympic athletes known as Team Darfur, was planning to spend about two weeks in China, when he received an unexpected call from authorities.
The 2006 American gold medalist said they told him they were denying him entrance into the country and were "not required to give a reason."
"I didn't see it coming," Cheek said. "I figured once they gave me a visa, I wouldn't imagine they wouldn't allow me to come in later. That was a big shock. I wasn't expecting to get a call the evening before I was leaving for Beijing."
White House press secretary Dana Perino said the U.S. would protest China's decision to deny the visa.
One of Cheek's key initiatives was urging the international community to persuade Sudan to observe the ancient tradition of the Olympic truce during the Beijing Games.
More than 200,000 people have been killed and 2.5 million displaced in fighting in the western Sudanese region since ethnic African tribesmen took up arms in 2003.
The Olympic truce dates to the ancient games in Greece, when fighting was halted to ensure athletes had safe passage to travel to and from the competitions. Attempts to revive the truce in modern times have met with only modest success, most notably in the Balkans during the 1992 and 1994 Games.
Cheek said he has been upset by China's treatment of athletes involved in his cause and thinks the International Olympic Committee's rules that prohibit political protest go against the spirit of the games.
"I've been pretty unimpressed with the IOC's efforts in protecting athletes, for giving them any options," Cheek said.
IOC spokeswoman Emmanuelle Moreau said the IOC was aware from press reports that Cheek had been denied a visa.
"Visa applications from non-accredited persons do not fall within the IOC's remit, and we are therefore not best placed to answer you on this question," Moreau said.
Jim Scherr, chief executive officer of the U.S. Olympic Committee, called Cheek a "great Olympic champion."
"We think that it is unfortunate," Scherr said. "But it's between this government and Joey as a private citizen."
Cheek said he has been greeted warmly on his previous trips to China.
"I don't begrudge them the Olympics, I think they'll do well with them," Cheek said. "But there are so many of their government's policies that I find repulsive, especially for athletes who have no intention but to help someone else."
He had planned to attend a United Nations Olympic celebration and some charity events but wasn't planning any big Team Darfur demonstrations. Now he's scrambling to figure out how to draw attention to his cause back home in Washington.
"Of course I would have liked to have been there, advocating for a peaceful resolution," he said. "But we'll figure something out."
I got scouted by MTV for an for an appointment, instead of a casting call, which last all of five minutes. Here they told what to wear, how to do my hair and makeup, to bring my portfolio, a tight outfit, a bathing suit with coordinating shoes and wear different outfits for the judges, fill out another 15 page questionnaire, talk to the casting director, give them a portfolio, prance around in stupid heels, blah blah blah.
I don't know if I want to anymore. I was really super excited at first because I actually got to talk to some one on the phone, and he (being the scout for this area) said they really wanted a tattooed girl on the show for diversity.
Too bad my whole arm is a fucking copy right infringement. Yes, Disney can sue me. They said they could photoshop and cover my arm for shoots. I don't know if the guy misheard me and thought I just have a Sleeping Beauty tattoo, or if he heard me correctly when I said it goes from my fucking shoulder to my wrist. That is gonna be a lot of photoshopping and makeup, darling.
I have to make up my mind soon. The audition is on saturday at 9. Regular casting calls start at 11. Its just that after reading all the questions they ask you, and all the fine FINE print, it just seems...kind of a disappointment. There are so many restrictions and things I'm not sure if I'm comfortable with...I can't tell if I am just scared and wimping out out because I'm being a pussy, or really deep down I feel this is a bad idea. I need to be focusing on my career and building a clientele and working and making MORE money.
suggestions? feelings? I've been debating in my head and making myself crazy for a week and a half.
A photographer took some candids of Dave and I. There are some more, but he had a really intricate vintage camera with film I have never seen before and has been developing them by hand so its taken awhile for them to come up, but just finding them and seeing them made me so happy. I actually look fucking happy for once. Even with tummy rolls and beat up chicken legs, fuck it.
Things have been pretty shitty lately. I started my job at Orrell and on the first day the owner gave me a heads up that they already had a couple of clients that didn't take too kindly to my tattoos. She said to keep on doing my thing and take it in stride, and won't have to cover them up unless it gets to be a problem. But it was just such a downer to be freaked out on my first day and then be told people are complaining about my appearance in less than a four hour period. Kerrie told me they have a more conservative-old-money clients that live in the wealthiest neighborhood in my city. It was just another blow to my self esteem and felt really bad about myself when I got home and just dwelled on it. I'm over it now, things are running a little bit more smoothly, but just to be fair I was wearing a crew neck fitted t-shirt tucked into a really high waist pencil skirt, and looked damn professional. Only part of my arm and my bows on my legs were showing! And now I'm paranoid about everything I wear now. AND I have to some howhave to work my in and get trained in the skin care line they use there and try to get a clients in in the spa. That is the only reason I am not working strictly as an esthetician, because they don't have clients to give me, I need to bring in my own people and start my clientele base from scratch which is going to be really damn difficult. Especially in Greensboro.
And then my dad left for China a week ago and it already feels like a month. I miss him so much, I want him to come home. I flipped out the morning he left and had a panic attack and couldn't go to the airport. I didn't want my last memory of saying good bye to him (even though I know he will come back) to be in a fucking airport filled with mindless idiots all headed to Miami for a fucking cruise. I didn't want to break down there, because I knew I would. His return ticket home is December 13th, his birthday. I honestly am keeping my fingers crossed we will be able to go and visit him while he is there :)
FUCK YES I'M HAPPY.
You're OUT.
I have two new modeling prospects coming up, and I really hope they work out *fingers crossed*
AND HOLY SHIT, CHAKRAS IS OFFERING BODY PIERCING NOW???? A salon where you can go get your hair cut,colored, styled, a facial, manicures, pedicures, lasering, chemical peels, cellulite removed, veracose veins diminished, any kind of permanent make-up..... AND NOW GET YOUR FUCKING NAVAL PIERCED IN ONE GO ROUND?
CRAZY.
Caryn and I have been moving all her stuff into her new apartment, and she got a new kitty named Warren and he is such a turd. Always attacking your toes and fingers and FACE, but has proved to be a pretty entertaining kitty.
AND HE LOVES GROCERY BAGS
( yes, another picture post )
OH, AND FUCK YOU KANYE. I know that most of the problems were because of technical difficulties because Pearl Jam played way later then scheduled but don't be such diva and let the people know why you're gonna be almost 2 hours late and for fuck's sake play a little more than six songs. The sun was coming up halfway through his set so it pretty much defeated the purpose of changing the original time of 8:15 to 2:45 so it would be completely dark and no one else would be playing during your alot so your "Glow in the Dark" tour. AND so you could have the main stage because I bet he threw an bitch fit because he got stuck at smaller stage. He was still fun, but he is a dick.
And check this little mama
I got from LAST weekend when my friend Adrianne's boyfriend ran over my foot while I was trying to get in the car-he just took off because he "thought" I was in the car. No, he was just about to pass out after a day of drinking on the beach and no sleep. He insisted on driving us up THREE blocks because Adrianne and I were going to take a midnight stroll. I fucking we wished we walked because not only did he run over my foot but it caused me to be dragged out of the car into the ground. I just wallowed around in the grass crying hysterically and yelled at him. And he had the nerve to ask for gas money the next day with the statement, "I know and ran you over and all, but I'm still gonna need you to pay me back for gas." I wanted to punch him because up until three days ago my legs and foot were killing me.
Okay so here are the pictures. I hate how fuzzy most of them came out though. It is kind of pointless to take pictures of band at festivals unless you are right up front, but its the memories that count right?
( Bonnaroo Pics )
I about fell out of my chair laughing when the little kid said he wanted to go to Iran.
My two new zoanthid corals, I love how bright the colors are and they will hopefully grow fairly fast as they are known to. I want them to cover that whole rock haha.
A mushroom (I'm not sure what kind. You can't tell from the picture but it is this really pretty iridescent pink/green)
I already have two more baby mushrooms popping up behind the big one.
My tank as a whole. I probably should have cleaned the outside of the glass before I took any pictures, but oh well, a little dried up salt water, whatever.
so far I have a rock of orange button polyps, two pink kenya tree corals, a mat of lime green star polyps, A small rock of purple people eaters and the new green and orange zoanthids and a mushroom. And the chubby clown fish, ha.
I could seriously spend my whole day staring at my tank, there is so much life and new things to look at.
Now I just need to get the money to upgrade a HUGE tank. Thats my dream goal if I ever get rich.

First off, I am over fucking half-assed friends. I'm tired of trying to get together with people I care about and love and no one bothers to respond. I rather have your honesty than you turning your back and ignoring me. Goddammit it really hurts when I try to put myself out there and I get nothing back.
SO FUCK YOU.
AND I'm tired of people who LIE. Don't make plans with me and have me hunt you down to find out if its legit only to lie about why you are canceling on me because something bigger and better came up. I hope you had your fun.
And if you think I am talking about you then, DING DING DING, I am probably talking about you.
Deep breath.
Now, secondly I wanted to say that are human beings out there like Caryn and Kat. Those are the only two people in my life that I can actually say go above and beyond the call of duty when it comes to me a real friend.
Last week when I was severely sick, I came home to a bag on my door with a bouquet of flowers, and variety box of mixed hot teas, the latest issue of ELLE and a hand made card. This was not the first time Kat has done this for me.
Caryn will answer her phone and be at my apartment ANY time I have ever needed her. She has never let me down or left me disappointed. If there is something either of us have done to hurt another's feelings we talk about it immediately and guess what? We are back to being best friends in 15 minutes.
And this weekend I haven't had this much fun in a really long time. I needed it. I was reunited with old friends and met some new ones too.
Finally a chance to let loose.
( hookah night at kat's )
Last night to make all Mother's Days in the history of the Reaves family all more memorable, I had to go to the ER last night. I blacked out twice coming home from Burlington with my family and puked (and caused me to hyperventilate as well) all because my migraine was so severe. I've never scared myself so bad. Blacking out when you AREN'T drunk isn't fun, it SUCKS. I had to have a CAT scan and an EKG and three different medication drips and it took fucking forever. All I wanted was to get the fuck out of there and get my shot of Demerol, because when you have a migraine and you have to sit for four hours while they run tests and make you wait under fluorescent lighting....it just blows.
okay end of story, back to sleep.
I'm feeling better about things. I am so excited of being certified in that and I can't wait. And then five days before I'm getting my microdermabrasion certification as well.
YESYESYESYESYES
OH and I'll need a model for the eye lash extension training! They are semi permanent (last about 3 weeks, a month if you are super gentle with your lashes) and it will be free for you! And it will be in Charlotte, so it would be easier if you know the area because the models won't need to show up until half way through the seminar.
But it won't be until July. At least its something to look forward to.
And I'm back to being super congested and sick. Again. Third times the charm right?

I am completely disgusted with the youth of today. This morning I woke up at the ass crack of dawn to go vote in the NC primary early with my mom. Yes, I wanted the tickets to Arcade Fire show (thats free!!!) in Greensboro for Obama. Yeah, I admit that was an underlying factor in me deciding to vote early. But I also wanted my voice to be heard. I went and voted and then waited for my tickets.
Do you know what disgusts me? 85 percent of the people there were there for the Arcade Fire and didn't even bother to fucking vote. As each person stepped up, the lady working the Obama table asked everyone if they were going to head inside and cast their voice for this election after she gave them the ticket.
"I don't vote, don't get me started on that"
"I'll do it later"
"Oh, I'm really busy and I'll just vote in the general primary in May"
"I was kind of here for the tickets, but maybe i'll go vote...later"
I heard this escape people mouths right and left. Disgrace. The woman at the table looked somewhat defeated that all these people were signing paperwork to get tickets, and no one was even bothering vote. She saw me &my; ma coming up with our "voted early" stickers and asked us how long it took to vote. I told her five and my mom said ten. The woman looked up at the rest of the crowd and told them that these people here (me/mom) already voted in five minutes and to please take the time to vote. It was like we were the only ones in line who actually voted.
heres the kicker. In the time it took me to go vote and come back and wait in line, the Obama table and the woman running it weren't even there yet. All of those people could have gone and done their CIVIC DUTY and gotten back in time to get their damn tickets. I was right back in line where I started from upon returning.
I couldn't believe it. Out of the 40 people outside probably 8 actually went inside to vote.
It took me five minutes to vote. FIVE. You can't waste 5 minutes of your precious little life to go and at least try to make a difference? I don't care you are voting for, just get out there a VOTE. The apathy was killing me. I'm standing there in line, about to burst. What is wrong with all your people? You're only here at 7:30 am for free tickets to a show and you don't give a FUCK what happens to your country. And what gets me the most, is this is a concert FOR OBAMA. To support his candidacy. And you're going to stand in line for 40 minutes for tickets to a support rally and you aren't even going to bother to vote for the person you say back up? Then you have none of my respect.
Do you want a President McCain this November? I know I don't. And yes, I vote Obama, but for me its more than Obama the Presidential Candidate, it's Obama the movement. The movement of hope and change that I feel this country desperately needs.
Our economy is fucked, by next year it will cheaper to go out to eat every day than it will be to buy groceries. Gas is $117 a barrel (give or take). We are losing our social security. We have a current IDIOT for a president that only claim to fame is that he is the most hated president since fucking Harry S. Truman. 39 solid months of disapproval.
This is disgusting, and none of my friends care. I had to explain to someone what the GOP was and what the primaries are for. Some didn't even know who our potential Presidential nominees are. Its so disheartening. It makes me so sad that so many young people don't give a fuck.
You should.
I'm ashamed that the society we live in deems it "ok" to be apathetic.
( .......... )
most fun I have had in a LONG time.
and i fell out of a dogwood when i was trying climb down and busted both my arms up. At least the most damage was on the non tattooed arm. It burns constantly, but it was worth it. Remember i fell off the lower cascades at hanging rock for a photoshoot and that sucked, but hey, whatever, just roll with the punches.
more to come, i do believe.
love always...my best friend.
