livejournaling is fun!
hey, yesterday i got stung by a be e on my finger and this morning i cut my thumb open. with a spoon. and i'm pretty sure i have a metal sliver now. that's all. Current Mood:  impressed | | Monday, July 9th, 2007 | | 2:36 am |
this is weird. i'm not sure what i'm doing. i can't get tired or fall asleep. i'm at leak's and i just got done playing with and feeding cha rlie parker {stray cat}. initially, i was online to e-mail myself stuff for class tomorrow.... but then i decided to never get off the internet. ever again. it feels like the source of all life. {that is a lie.} i'm really sorry if anyone's reading this. it makes me inexplicably sad to imagine a time when i updated my livejournal every day, and sometimes more. thankfully, there are more important things going on now. life is busy and crazy and amazing lately. almost done with school, san fransisco trip coming up, then quitting my job and moving to london in september. mostly just keeping busy watching the discovery channel. you know.    seriously. i would do bear grylls. ok, delirium is approaching. i'm going to bed. goodnight... you guys. haha.
{and probably goodbye, for a while.} See Ya. ♥ Current Mood:  bored | | Friday, December 1st, 2006 | | 1:57 am |

I just finished Magical Thinking. It's the best book I've read in a long long time. Today I'm going to read Running With Scissors.
Last night my car got broken into. And my phone is gone. And my purse, my gold-one-of-a-kind-antique-purse which I carry with me virtually everywhere I go, is gone. Along with all of its contents.
So I have no phone numbers. At all. Or really, a phone. If you get any phone calls or text messages or *gasp, i just thought of this* picture messages from me, it isn't me. This is so dangerous and scary and violating.
Oh, and also, this means that I don't have a car, because you can't drive a car around if you don't have a window... because then you get everything stolen. So I have no work, no school, and no car until Tuesday.
So basically, lately, things have been spinning wildly out of control. Things like my car, my money, school and work.
My wallet got stolen, and then my car kept randomly breaking down. So last week we spent thousands of dollars on it, and two days after that, the "Service Engine Soon" light came on, and is still on. And then I got into a mini-car accident. And then last night. It's all too much.
When I got home last night I was thinking "maybe all of this shit is a terrible nightmare." And then I remembered that I just have amazingly awful karma. :) | | Tuesday, August 22nd, 2006 | | 4:09 pm |
today's my birthday. and i know it doesn't feel any different, being twenty, but i like to think of it as a completely fresh, undamaged, separate era. it's a new decade and those don't come around very often.clean slate. Current Mood:  happy | | Monday, August 14th, 2006 | | 1:43 pm |
i feel really excited. like...oh! i can't wait! ...but i don't know what i'm waiting for.
and then i keep remembering that all i'm doing today is working.
and i have to go take a shower now, so i'm not late.
:( man. i wish there was something to do besides have a job.
i'm being a whiner. i just had an entire week off.
and it was great. :D
and i got to go to weddings and parties and target.
i LOVE target!
k, just kidding. bye. | | Wednesday, August 2nd, 2006 | | 2:22 pm |
Heat Wave.
This is the sort of air that sticks, the kind you want to pull off you, away from your skin, or wipe away in great sluicing motions and back into the water where it surely belongs, because this is not the sort of air that anyone could breathe. You could die, drown, trying to breathe this. Current Mood:  hot | | Tuesday, July 25th, 2006 | | 11:07 am |
WE GOT A NEW PUPPY!a beautiful chocolate lab named maggie. maggie mae. like rod stewart.
but in reality world... she was named after Magglio Jose Ordonez, outfielder for the Detroit Tigers. bear didn't like her at first, but today they are becoming best friends :D
In other exciting news, my dad found out about my septum piercing, because my brother and sister were trying to get presents from him if they told him "my secret." He was just relieved I wasn't telling him I was a lesbian.
So that was cool.
...I guess that's all. ...I just wanted everyone to see my puppy. k, bye. :D

Something or Nothing
If you’re never sorry… If you’re never sorry… If you’re never sorry, then you can’t be forgiven. If you’re not forgiven, then you can’t be forgotten. If you’re not forgotten, then you must live forever. If you live forever, you cannot be reborn. If you’re not reborn, then you can’t be a baby. If you’re not a baby, you can’t learn to crawl. If you cannot crawl away, you must stay in bed all day. If you stay in bed all day, you’ll be sure to have some visitors. | | Monday, June 12th, 2006 | | 11:06 am |
Conundrum.
there are little white pasty chunks in my peanut butter again. :( panera's trying to poison me.
today is my day off! YAYYYYYY!!!!!!!!
(except i have no money to do anything. and i don't get paid until thursday.)
yes, it's really nice to see how far everyone has come,
bridges burned, grudges released.
...what is that in your pocket? that little piece of paper there?
it is your agenda, your plan.
the scheme to help you attain and retain whatever you think will make you happiest.
we all have one. they are not evil by nature;
problems only arise when two agendas have the same prize.
not everyone can have the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow;
there is only one and sharing is out of the question.
so what is the solution?
you can't throw an agenda away:
without it, life is purposeless.
i need some new cd's or something. maybe i'll get some from the library. from my lovely librarian, is more like it. ;)
BOR ING BOR ING BOR ING BOR ING BOR ING BOR ING BOR ING BOR ING BOR ING BOR ING.
if you've never seen waiting for guffman, you should. ohmygod. billy joel's twin just walked into panera. maybe it's him.
i have to go check. see ya. Current Mood:  complacent | | Tuesday, June 6th, 2006 | | 11:31 pm |
Where do I put this fire
This bright red feeling
A tiger lily down my mouth
He wants to grow to twenty feet tall
I've left Bethlehem
And I feel free
I've left the girl I was supposed to be
and Someday I'll be born
I'm so tired of being shy
I'm not that girl anymore
I'm not that straight A anymore
Now I wanna sit with my legs wide open and laugh so loud that
The whole damn restaurant will turn and look at me
Look at the tiger jumping out of her mouth
Go to hell lions, tigers and bears
I'm not afraid of you anymore
My fear tore apart like 50 balloons and I'm thrown around the room
Like party confetti now Current Mood:  fierce! | | Saturday, May 27th, 2006 | | 4:03 pm |
I've been working mornings lately and I love it. Work doesn't feel like it's sucking the life out of you when you still get to do whatever you want for the rest of the night. And I love where I work. It's like small-town kindness, where everyone knows and helps each other. We have a down syndrome neighbor who takes out our garbage for us and is the sweetest man ever. We also have customers named OLA LOVELY & NORM BIGMEAT. That is not a joke. And we have some named Steve Miller and Cindy Sanders. Aaaaanyway. I just wanted to let everyone know that I am happy with my job, and it feels really nice. :) Current Mood: content | | Thursday, May 25th, 2006 | | 8:44 am |
Hey Fella, You're a Turkey.
Yesterday I thought I would fix everything and do everything and make my life better. But I got too tired in the middle of it all. And today feels like a failure. I'm going to be in trouble soon. The real kind of trouble, which feels gross and foreboding. This morning when I woke up the sun was out and it was really pretty and I wanted to go paint outisde somewhere, but it has already gone away and been replaced with gray skies and cold wind. I want Eleah and Mike and Craig and everyone else I love to come to my house right now and eat macaroni & cheese with me before I have to go to work. There's still a good seven hours of free time. ..Any takers? I think everyone is asleep.
Whenever I determine that I'm going to do something, or in most cases NOT do something, it's like when someone says "Don't think about an elephant." You have to think about it because it's all that is in your frame of reference. So then you sit there and think about not doing the thing for so long that you end up doing it because you can't think of anything else to do. And then every time you do the thing, it's less satisfying than you were hoping for, so you want to keep doing it, because you keep thinking "Well this time it has to be better," and so continues the vicious cycle of disappointment and addiction.
My head hurts. I think it's time for the daily fortune. Hopefully it's a good one. ....*rummaging around in purse*.... ok. here we go. I'm opening the fortune. "You are moving along a new road. Enjoy the trip!" hmm. how enthusiastic. hope everyone has a STELLAR day. ENJOY THE TRIP. Current Mood:  sarcastic. | | Monday, May 22nd, 2006 | | 9:25 am |

things in my life have been really weird lately. life is just weird like that.
i finally finished "Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil" and now i want to go to Savannah. i probably will, with all this money and free time i've been coming across. maybe when school is over.
i cleaned my room and finally got everything moved into my closet. and i cleaned my house. and did my homework. oh, responsible alli.
mike and i saw OVER THE HEDGE last night. and he gave me a bunch of old fortune cookie fortunes.
today's fortune: "Stop searching: Happiness is inside you." :)
we also watched Journey to the Center of the Earth last night. i fell asleep almost immediately.
yesterday i bought an 8mm camera and projector in perfectly functioning condition. the guy even had the receipt and manuals for each. (score.)
today i worked on a painting i started a few months ago. "worked on" as in completely trashing what it was before and changing it into something different. it's not as pretty and it's not something i would really want to hang up now, but it felt good nonetheless.
i hate when people say my thoughts aloud because they're their thoughts too. it's maddening and impossible to ignore.
my appetite has been nonexistent today, which is strange but i'm not complaining. i eat too much. i saw my chiropractor at red robin.
and now i'm writing a semi-meaningless update for no-one in particular while trying to decide if i'm going to do my homework or paint some more. Current Mood: amused |
