Cats...

Cats are amazing.

Also amazing- how to train your dragon (imax 3D bitches!)

SO SO SO effing cute i could just die.

Totally gonna buy it when it comes out, and I dont remember the last time i thought that about an animated movie.

Go see it.

Serious. 

lovelove.

...

lovelove.

You make me feel like my insides are dying slowly...

Home from D-Town now.

Trying to make Forest and Foxy be friends.

Drinking some cider.

Waiting to hear back from my cousin.

Its a beautiful day, maybe I will take the pup for a walk...

lovelove.

I listened in, yes I'm guilty of this, you should know this...

A million hours left to think of you and think of that.

Calm down I'm calling you to say-

I'm capsized staring on the edge of safe...

These photos, and this song are the story of my life in a nutshell.

You have to love and appreciate the unhealthy lifestyle depicted.

(If only because it makes you feel better about your own life.)

I just got home from 10 hours of work.

And it feels like I have nothing to show for it... except pretty much having enough hair stuck to my clothes that I practically have a whole extra person attached to me. 

(Hot right?)

Chyea... that pretty much sums today up. 

Bonus: I stopped on the way home and bought myself a redbull for the morning.

Awesome! ...the breakfast of champions for sure. 

lovelove.

I'll take your head off tonight...

I'll take your head off tonight.

Vlad Impaler style.

(Because it's all in the eyes...)

I once took a test that was supposed to tell "what serial killer would you be"...

My results came up as Vlad the Impaler.

I find this hillarious.

And most likely accurate.

Work is SOOOOO SLOOOOW today that I could just die.

But it's ok, because boss-man isn't here and I can do what I want.

(Doing what I want, see: reading magazines, taking lots of smoke breaks, drinking Naked juice at the desk, and listening to good music.)

Yes indeed kids- I am bored as fuck.

One client on a slow day like this is hell.

I'm having extreme sushi cravings, and could use a good nap.

So... it is officially a new year, and I suppose thus far, 2010 has been treating me fairly well really.

Can we say suprised?

Highlights as of the last two weeks...

1. Chest piece complete. A+!

2. New shoulder tattoo. Awesome!

3. So much delicious food/ drink. Amazing!

4. Quite busy at work (except today.) Fantastic!

5. GORGEOUS SHOES. (Ohmahgawd...) INCREDIBLE!

And now let me take a moment to say, I don't make resolutions because I find them pointless.

Why make a promise to do something that you know you aren't going to make good on- seriously?

So if you wonder why I haven't listed mine in this space, please refer to the section above... because that is why.

(I prefer not to set myself up intenionally for failure thanks.)

Now please go listen to some Spinnerette and eappreciate it- because I have been pretty much non-stop for the last week...

So so good.

Now a little something...

My iPod "on the go" mix from this past weekend.

MGMT- time to pretend, electric feel

MSI- shut me up, straight to video, ultra sex

Nine Inch Nails- the only time

The Organ- memorize the city

Outkast- ms. jackson

Queen- killer queen

Third Eye Blind- faster

Atmosphere- god loves ugly, always coming back home to you, trying to find a balance

Brand New- seventy times seven

The Faint- worked up so sexual, glass danse

The Gossip- Men in love

Lady Gaga- beautiful, dirty, rich

Lily Allen- not fair, the fear, everyone's at it

Spinnerette- valium knights, ghetto love, all babes are wolves, impaler, geeking

Against Me!- wagon wheel

Off to do some work now for real... maybe.

lovelove.

I'm pushing on the hammer, to trigger the brain... Embrace how I live.

Going to D-Town for 4.5 days... won't be back until necessary.

Hopefully gonna miss the snowstorm that is supposed to hit.

Still have not finished wrapping presents, started doing laundry, packed my shit, or gotten gas for tomorrow.

EPIC FAIL.

But the internet distracts me- especially tumblr.

OOPS.

(I will just say it is because I had a shit day and I needed distraction.)

I pretty much have all my presents purchased though, so that is something.

I just hate the holidays.

Especially when they make me a broke-ass.

But I am going to make the most of it and use it as a fabulous excuse to see everyone!

Hazaa!

I like to wear my ugly boots around the house with leg warmers and leggings and an oversized shirt... It makes me feel very Flashdance.

(That is right- I took it to that place tonight.)

Well if you need me this week give a holler!

Otherwise for real this time, I am off to do everything I put off up until now!

(But not before a cigarette.)

Goodnight world...

lovelove.

Standing on the outside looking in...

Everybody gets a little lost, sometimes

When you feel your time is running out

You know your love has stalled

When you feel alone and dreams from your younger years

Are telling you what's gone

Then ask yourself why people fall apart

Because they don't realize that something just ain't right

When you lay down on your pillow at home tonight

You got to realize your holding on to something that aint right

I believe in this fire burning inside of me

You're never alone but you're always on your own

Lost in love and desire, never again

I promised myself I'd be searching for someone new

Smothered by his word

She's selling freedom that you can afford

To everyone but yourself

You're down on luck tonight

You're down, down, down there's nowhere left to turn

Because now you're all alone

HAYHAYHAY... The Sounds album Crossing the Rubicon is fan-fucking-tastic.

For real.

So just a little update...

I got a flat tire last week, and I just got it fixed today (ran and did it during work) and I must say, now I really really wish I hadn't driven over a fucking roofing nail.

Because guess what...

MY TIRE WAS FUCKED.

And guess what else...

Due to the fact that my tire was in the condition it was, it couldnt be repaired.

Thats right kids.

I had to buy a new tire and have all of mine rotated and shit to match.

To the tune of $121.76 no less.

Yep.

I got fucked... and it definitely didnt feel good.

COOL FUCKING LIFE.

Also, my boss fired someone, had a replacement within two days, and now I have to train her in.

(Thanks you fucking dick.)

At least she seems sweet...

OH JESUS... please let her not be a crazy bitch.

Oh and yeah, lets hope she isnt a dumbass as well.

Kay thanks.

EVEN COOLER LIFE.

But hey, I've had tons of return clients the last two weeks, and everyone has left happy.

So Roger, next time you want to say my work is "too sleek" and mean it negatively...

Please take the book, and forcibly insert it into your ass.

...Just look at my books recently and see that I've made you A LOT of fucking money, and I do all the extra work... and get nothing for it.

Really, is "thanks" too much to ask for?

Maybe.

I guess.

On a lighter note, Ive been having some weird, confusing, and some fantastic days recently.

I think I only need to sum things up in this manner...

State fair+ copius amounts of beer+ amazing friends.

Really hot ladies.

Second and third floor wine pour.

Valleyfair.

Seeing lots of people I havent seen for too long.

Amazing new shoes.

Matte nail polish.

Enough free time to read books.

Taking the pups on walks.

73 degree weather.

Making mad tips.

...Amongst other things.

Thanks everyone who has made shitty times a little brighter.

lovelove.

It's warmer from worlds away...

It has been a very strange last couple of days.

I received some very foreboding news on Monday, and while I'm trying to stay positive, it has been difficult. 

My life seems to be getting more complicated.

I guess that's what I get for "growing up."

I'm going to try to arrange a lovely trip to Chicago soon.

I need some best friend time for sure.

On another note, my parents suggested that I take bartending classes, and offered to pay for them. 

Crazy.

I think I might take them up on that one.

Okie... Now that I've encouraged everyone to drink, I'm going to have (a drink or five) a shower, watch a movie, and try to clear my mind for the night.

Lovelove.

She had to take him down easy- put a bullet in his brain...

Oh god it has been so long since I have written anything on this biz... but I'm going to try and make up for that.

So much has happened to me since my last post... Recap!

I officially have a home. 

A fabulous duplex, an old victorian house thats painted bright blue. 

How perfect right? With THE most excellent view of Saint Paul. I have fabulous roommates, we will refer to and T&T, we have been friends since we were freshmen in high school...  and they have lovely dogs which always makes my day. And I must not neglect to mention that because I am "a girl", I get the entire 3rd floor bedroom loft to myself, and I have an excellent massive porch right off my room.

It feels so good to be in a permanent residence again, and to be back in the cities... I missed it so. This place really IS my home.

♥

I got a kitty!

Actually, she's about 3, but I like calling her kitty. 

She is my little love, and follows me around the house and peeps at me all the time. She was a gift from my parents, because they felt that I needed "something of my own to love that wouldn't ever have a reason to abandon me." 

Adorable right?

♥

I have seen so many good friends recently, and I'm trying to scheme up a trip to Chicago in the near future to visit my BFF. 

I fucking love the crew.

♥

I am finally starting to feel more like myself again. 

Some days go by where I barely think about the shit that has been bothering me, and some days are really rough. But I am ok. Just a bit lonely. I miss knowing someone is there... But my "freedom" has been alright. 

I am getting there.

I have been freelancing with hair, because it is a fucking bitch to find a job right now. And I honestly just cannot lower myself to the great clips level.

Truth be told, it has been rough, but I'm making it... without starving mind you.

I'm confident that everything will work out though, it always does. 

-My hair is about 1/4 pink right now, and it makes me happy.

-I got my tongue pierced again two days ago, so now I have two large chunks of metal in my tongue instead of one. It was free too, or rather, a service trade off- always good. And happily, this time around it hasn't been bad at all. Yay!

-I just had a fabulous plate of homemade sushi, which also is fabulous. I've been on a sushi binge lately.

-I mass cleaned my kitchen this evening, which always makes me feel good.

-Some new clothes and accessories have been finding their way to me recently, even though I have had NO extra money. Gotta love free shit!

I am sure that there is plenty I have forgotten, but I'll fill in the blanks as I go.

OK! Here are some pictures of a bunch of things...

Lovelove.

Humorous marital tests, cleaning my room, and other such stuff...

I am beginning to think that the bedroom needs to be cleaned desperately. 

Really and truly, the shit is getting out of control. 

And my lists of things to do are everywhere.

I do believe it is time for a larger living space.

X10! 

See examples 1 and 2... which come to look at them now, don't really do justice to how terrible the room look as a whole.

I'll post pictures of it clean once I get up the courage to tackle it... 

And now for a bit of humor...

Boo and I decided that it would be really silly to take the "marital rating scale" test, which was created in 1939. There is a list of merits and demerits, some of which are common sense, others just really tend to date the time period when this test was created. The results were pretty ridiculous, and some of the questions were as follows:

(Husband) 

DEMERITS:

"Compares wife unfavorably to his mother and other wives"

(Other wives? WTF.)

"Teases wife of fatness, slowness, etc."

(Slowness? Really? And this etc. ...obviously there are many other ways can you make your spouse feel shitty as well.)

"Writes on tablecloth with pencil."

(Who does this? I mean, if you're going to do it, go all out for christ sake and use a pen.)

MERITS:

"Ardent lover- sees that wife has orgasm in marital congress."

(Marital congress? When was sex last called that?)

"Gives wife real movie kisses, not just a dutiful peck on the cheek."

(Real movie kisses... not like fake movie kisses.)

(Wife)

DEMERITS:

"Seams in hose are crooked."

(When was the last time this was of large concern? And why is it such a big deal? Shit happens, stockings get a little out of whack. The world doesn't stop turning. Really.)

"Wears red nail polish."

(Whoa- is that RED polish you have on? You devil woman you!)

"Uses slang or profanity."

(Oh snap... I would make someone very unhappy.)

MERITS:

"Laughs at husbands jokes and clowning."

(Ohmigod. CLOWNING? ...no.)

"Dresses for breakfast."

(Again- umm not unless I'm leaving the house. And maybe not even then.)

"Sympathetic- of children and unfortunates." 

(Unfortunates? What exactly does this even mean?)

Case in point?

This was really amusing, and I would make a horrendous wife, as I do most of the things that warrant demerits... and very few things that are merit worthy.

I received 17 out of 100 points... 100 being the best.

Apparently I suck at being a good 1930's housewife.

If you care to take this test, or to see more of it, you can find it here.

In other news, this week and the next may be fairly busy for me. 

I've got lots of hair to do and I will be taking my dad in for surgery on Friday, along with potential work stuff... I'm taking Boo back and forth tomorrow probably because the little Jetta that could needs a bit of work done apparently... (insert bummer face here.) But I am happy to chauffeur for a bit. It makes me feel more productive than I actually am. (now insert the tacky wink here.)

Then the next week is figuring out Thanksgiving shit, AND my best friend is coming home for a few days for a visit and I plan to spend lots and lots of time with her if possible! Which, come to think of it, I may need to figure out if I am supposed to be picking her up when she gets in to town. Oops. Way to be on top of things. 

(Thats ok, there is still time... right?)

 Please do try to bare with me if I seem a bit... lacking?

Scatterbrained?

Intense?

Frazzled? 

All of the above at once perhaps... and more than usual? 

Well I must be off now. 

lovelove.

OH! 

PS. The new episodes of True Blood and Dexter were probably the only other highlights of my day today. That... and buying pomegranates and red bull, which I gorged myself on. SO GOOD!
