unexpected turns [Aug. 11th, 2009|05:00 pm]
nyc was a fun escape. austin and i went up there, stayed for a few days, decided we were all tuckered out and came back. it was great to see people there! i wish i had spent more time with them :( i miss you [info]paste42 !!!

back at the house. still unsuccessfully looking for design work. simon (my terrible but wonderful 4 month old puppy) is chewing everything. trying to teach him that one thing is ok to chew, but everything else isn't, is REALLY hard for him to understand.

spoke to my sister for a good hour or so a little bit ago. it was great to hear her voice, hear her adventures... the kids are growing older, going to college, making a life for themselves. jen is working part time as a librarian, being a full time parent, and begging for me to have children. it makes her mad that she will probably be a grandmother before she is an aunt. oh well.

austin is moving out to california. he decided this on a whim for a musical adventure/dream. hopefully it works out for him. if it doesn't, he will still have tried, and that's what really matters. he will never wonder "what if?". i am going to miss him a lot.

so back to being single in richmond i suppose... i'm happy with singledom, but i do miss companionship. i guess it's good i have a simon.

 my itunes is making me extremely happy on the random feature today. 

sorted out my unemployment benefits, landlord gave us a couch & coffee table, jeff has been making me really happy, going to a theme park with my little tomorrow.... busy but yet it's optional. i didn't realize i would love having more than 2 weeks off. yes, i get bored, but then i get to do what ever i want. 

need to do way more cleaning. my house is v. messy. 

boy situation is complicated, but my god i'm pretty damn sure it's worth the wait. 

going to see if i get my unemployment cheque before next week. if so, i am coming down to fl for timb's bday!

eeerk! [May. 6th, 2009|01:21 pm]
Today I did one thing right, I saved my ass. I don't communicate when I am being yelled at. I just shut down then people don't think I care. I had to pull my boss aside and tell him that I will always be this way, but if he wants me to shout back I could have a stab at it. He said he would get over it and I should shout back. Weird. Anyway, yeah, he assumed because I say nothing, it means I don't give a shit. Yay me.

My anxiety about everything has been getting the best of me. It feels like my medication doesn't even work anymore. It's kind of terrifying. I really don't want to have to up them. Maybe it's just a fleeting thing...

Jeff moved up. I have an official roommate. I still have to wait til June 1st to have my other roommate gone. Have to sign a new lease within the next week or so. This had been stressful. I am very happy I have someone that I can rely on, and will be my friend.

So. Much. Stress.

Aron & I are having another rough patch. I've been taking out my worries and anxiety on him. It's not very pleasant. I feel fucking awful about it. Unsure if we're broken up. Unsure if I can feel good about everything until I feel happy at home and at work.

June 1st. Soon, soon! Also... happy I didn't lose my job. It was really really really close.

5 associations [Mar. 23rd, 2009|10:56 am]


Directions: Comment to this post and I will give you 5 subjects/things I associate you with. Then post this in your LJ and elaborate on the subjects given.

Thank you [info]rat_bastard for choosing mine...

1. WONDERLAND
Wonderland is my Winchester from Shaun of the Dead. It's my cheers, it is where everyone knows my name, beer, and probably how many times I went to the bathroom that day. You walk in, it's covered in christmas lights; disfigured, burned, reembodied dolls; mannequins and mannequin parts; paintings from rob zombie movies; random scary movie figurines; pretty much anything you can buy that isn't completely retarded looking from a halloween store. No, make that many halloween stores. The people who hang out there are fantastic. They are socially ept, but still nerdy as hell. Oh yes. Sunday night is Karaoke, I sing (see reference 4), along with many other. It is named after the movie, not Alice &...

2. TORTURE A LA RICK
Oh dear. My lovely friend[info]rat_bastard likes to make me squirm. It's normally impossible to do, except for when he uses his trump card - Rick.
I will throw it out there that our buddy Rick is a nice guy. Along with the nice guy also comes a creepy side. He's the kind of guy you wouldn't want ANY female to fall asleep around. Just one of those people you know you can depend on, as a friend, he will be there instantly. As a female, stay THE FUCK away.
Anyways. Torture a la Rick came about when[info]rat_bastard was making bad visuals of sex with Rick (his trump card).
To take away this imagery, our friend Will came up with making Rick give him a blumpkin. Making this disturbing visual worse, the only thing I could think of was Icy-hot lubed strap-on while the blumpkin was happening. It got carried away with admission prices, hungry weasels, far too many scary things. But still, the idea of torturing the poor lad came about. Yes, I'm a terrible person.

3.(SEX) TOOLS AND IMPLEMENTS
I guess anyone who knows me, knows I am quite open about sexuality. Whether this offends people or turns people on, it really doesn't keep me from wearing it on my sleeve. One thing I have quite an affection for are sex toys. If it twirls, swirls, vibrates, swings, bounces, pumps, or squirts; I want to try them all. If not on me, then someone else. If I were rich, I would have every tool to please every body part in 18431 different ways. Variety is the spice of life, and it keeps me happy when alone or in a relationship.

4. SONGS SUNG WITH OVERTLY BRITISH ACCENTS
At Wonderland on Sundays nights is karaoke. Andi Smith is not known for her beautiful singing voice, not one bit. The more British sounding, the more it's spoken word. Singing in the English language makes for every nation to sound pretty identical in their songs; When an accent is apparent, generally it's more spoken. The more spoken, the easier it is for me, because: 1. I am British. 2. I can't sing to save Eddie Izzard's life. 

5. HEAVY METAL(tm)
Heavy metal is a weird subject for me. If there is no emotion behind it, and it's overly technical, I feel like I may as well be listening to Fruity Loops. I also am not a big fan of growling metal where I can't understand a word anyone is saying. Also that the growl is just a forced instrument, and not any emotion. Metal that I love can be anywhere from cheesy to batshit-nuts; emotional to instrumental. Also, anything that even remotely has to do with Mike Patton.

*edit* [info]rat_bastard was actually speaking of his Christmas present I bought him. It was a t-shirt with "heavy metal"s. Anywhere from colbalt to mercury, it was on there! In heavy metal fonts. Beautiful shirt.

Friends who wear glasses! [Mar. 12th, 2009|09:57 am]
Attention glasses wearers:
http://zennioptical.com/cart/home.php

AMAZING. $8 for a pair, you just need to know your prescription. They don't even ask for a Dr's name, just your prescription. So I just got myself 4 pairs for less than $50 (with shipping!)

Just throwing that out there to my poor sighted broke friends :)

-------

Watchmen:
I LOVED THE BOOK SOOOOO MUCH.
I didn't love the movie so much.
The conclusion is just that there is too much to the book. Too many necessary details. It just can't really be made into a movie. There were a few things that I loved, a few things I hated. The imagery was beautiful. A lot of the scenes from the book were captured perfectly. 

(non spoiler annoyances)
Mars conversation not right.
Casting of everyone except Rorschach was slightly off.
The ending was completely off base.
No sugar cubes.
Not enough Hollis.
MOST important: The characters were able to move like spiderman. They are human, not superheroes.

------

My roommate's girlfriend and I had a falling out. She emailed me on Monday to tell me how manipulative & hateful I am. This came about because she is fake nice to me, and makes me feel unwelcome in my own home. I talked to my roommate, he told her, she flew off the handle. He also mentioned that I don't like hearing her screaming for a full hour during sex (to the point where I can hear it upstairs with the water running); and I don't like them smoking inside. It's beautiful out, and the house then won't stink. She got mad I spoke to him about my issues, not her. HE pays rent, she doesn't.

After I got the email, I wrote back and defended myself. According to her, that was me trying to manipulate her... she started playing victim. As of Monday she is banned from the house when I am there. I will stop that soon, but for now I am livid. It takes a lot to push me that far.

Can't wait to be out of that house. June baby! June.

march is here! [Mar. 5th, 2009|01:36 pm]


March is not bad so far.

Aron & I have essentially patched things up. So all is well and dandy in that department. It was his birthday Sunday, all day it snowed. We drank a lot of mimosas, threw some snowballs, ate fantastic pizza and then did some karaoke. Needless to say, I was elated to find out that because of the 8" of snow we had, I didn't have to work Monday. That would have been one hell of a hangover.

I'm now up to date on Heroes, 24 and Flight of the Conchords. All brilliant shows. Man, I am happy I don't have any more TV addictions besides those. 3 is definitely enough, if not too much.

Reading "Let the right one in". It's pretty great... laundry later, this is what I will be doing during the wash & dry. Folding, well I wish I could read & fold at the same time; alas... I am not that talented.

It's my niece's birthday today. She turned 17... this is scary to me. I remember 17 extremely well. Tried calling her, as usual, her phone is either on silent or in the other room. Speaking of phones, I have retrieved most of my contacts again. Flushing cell phones down toilets doesn't help you keep your phone book entries.

I would like cake & jello right now. The green or red kind of jello.

tears & nonsense. [Feb. 17th, 2009|09:12 am]
[mood | melancholy]

 february 2009 can eat my ass. with a spoon. it has been one fuck of a month. 

 

grumble.

 

february 2009 has brought us so far:

 

1. a biopsy

2. going on the pill & getting used to new hormones

3. hormones making me INSANE on pms (more than usual)

4. having aron work overnights

5. pretty much breaking up with each other last night. updates to come?

6. horrific cold

7. the 1st anniversary of my brother's death

8. never see my roommate, but i always hear him doin' it (and his girlfriend is insanely jealous of me for no effing reason)
9. i've been battling a cyst next to my ear... it has been winning

 

all i want is to be happy. i want to be reliant on my body to not have me a baby maker, not get u.t.i. s, and not have an anxiety disorder. pills i must take for these things :(
i want to stop being insane when pms time comes around. i would loooove to be able to get through a single day without aron and i fighting over pointless things. really, we fight over nothing. noooooothing.

i also have to start really sticking with my plans. i want to go to the gym more. i want to host again. i want to draw more. i want to read more. etc etc etc. there are so many things that i have been "planning" to do, and i have brushed aside for some excuse or another. enough is enough. i need to start taking myself by the horns (or glasses) and just do what needs to be done.

i've been giving serious thought about moving back to florida for a while (as in only moving back for a while, not been thinking about it for a while). it's been depressing as fuck lately. i want my friends back.

Love Castle [Feb. 12th, 2009|08:59 am]

When it comes to Valentine's day, I have never really cared all that much. I like to put the effort in for the other person, but when it comes down to it, I just want to share attention. This goes all year round, but this one "holiday" is like a free pass to get as many cuddles as I possibly can.

There is one commerical thing that I do want, I have always wanted...
Love Castle
It's Valentine's day at White Castle. I don't even eat meat anymore, but I will break it for this. Candle light, linen tablecloth, Slyders™, and then food coma (not forgetting much larger thighs).

One day this dream will come true. Until then, I will take the cuddles (and lots of 'em).

brrrrr [Jan. 27th, 2009|12:49 pm]


today was freezing rain. for those in florida who have not experienced freezing rain, it's essentially rain that looks and feels like (but probably doesn't taste as good as) a slushy.

soup makes me smile away the freezing rain. mmmm soup.

my playlist of today (ipod on shuffle):
flight of the conchords - most beautiful girl in the room
weird al - genius in france
tenacious d - lee
violent femmes - add it up
ween - ice castles
joy division - from safety to where
suede - she's not dead
bloodhound gang - it's tricky
digital underground - humpty dance
nin - mr self destruct
roger miller - one dyin and buryin
stone roses - she bangs the drums
queen - i'm in love with my car

well, that's all i have got for now. anyways, i am in love with my ipod. or just my music. i don't know.
