I met a super cool person named Pasquale while I was at Jessa’s. We are going to be bff’s.

Pasquale is on the RIGHT!

I can’t believe I forgot that in the last post. forgive me?

This weekend involved so much driving, that I almost never want to drive again!

Thursday:
I drove to the Greyhound Station to pick up Sarah Porter, and after a while, she figured out that her bus was not stopping in Seattle, it was stopping in Everett. Drove back home, googled the bus station, then drove half an hour to and fro from Everett. Melanie also stopped by, which didn’t require driving, but it was nice to see her and meet her new boo. Total driving: about an hour and a half.

Friday:
Woke up way to early, considering the the time I actually went to bed, and drove the lovely Sarah Porter to Bellingham. From Bellingham (about an hour and a half away from Seattle) I drove to Hockinson (about 3 hours away from Seattle). I rested at mi madre’s casa to un-numb my butt before driving to Jessa’s house and surprising her for her birthday party. If you want to test your sanity, by all means, I suggest taking a 6 hour roadtrip by yourself. I had to call people just to talk to a real person. I also realized, that whenever I drive, I assume that I am the only competent driver on the road..Ever! Everyone around me is a complete idiot, including the huge semi that apparently could not see me, and almost ran me off the road. I had to make a couple stops for my sanity in various towns to get new music for my car, food, and gas. But it was totally worth it because it was really nice seeing everyone, and I realized how much I miss Jessa and her friends. Laurel drove down as well with Luke and surprised Jessa. Total Driving Time: about six and a half hours.

Saturday:
I was supposed to drive back to Seattle on Saturday, but I woke up and felt like ass. I didn’t drive at all this day, I mostly just slept a drug induced sleep and complained a lot. But I did see some really great movies, and some really horrible partial movies. The Boy in the Striped Pajamas was a really good movie! I highly recommend everyone see it! I saw the last half of The Prince and I, which I did enjoy, but then I saw the first half of the sequel and changed the channel. They could have done such a better job with the sequel! Seriously. But no, apparently half-assing it was enough. Blech. There was also a lot of ANTM watching, because let’s face it, it’s a cure-all. I forgot how ghetto the first couple seasons are, fighting over who gets real beds, who gets the one air mattress, and who has to sleep on the floor? We don’t see any of that anymore! Now not only do they get a huge penthouse in the states, when they go abroad, they also get a huge penthouse. I would want to be ANTM just to have my travel paid for, although, I would not want to live in a house full of bitchy wanna-be models. It would be like middle school all over again! Total Driving: None!

Sunday:
I had finally broke the fever and felt as good as I was going to get on Sunday, so it was time to hit the roads again and adventure back to Seattle. I felt less insane driving for so long by myself because I was still sick, and time just flew by. Except in Tacoma, I think there must have been some huge event at the Tacoma Dome, because there was some serious traffic. It was stop and go all the way through Tacoma, and when it was go, it was like 20mph for a couple feet, then slam on breaks for no reason. Again, I was surrounded by idiots, and I was the only one deserving a drivers license. By the time I had gotten home, my wonderful Christopher made me rice and veggie broth to make me better, Jordan and Juve came over with some Veggie soup, ice cream, and cough drops. I love my Seattle Family! Heather is also visiting from the Vancouver area, and it is really nice catching up with her as well. Total Driving Time: about three and a half hours.

Today:
I woke up and feel way better! Still have the sandpaper throat feeling, but that is about it. I hate being sick, but then again, I really don’t know anyone who loves it. Today I pick up Jake from the SeaTac airport and he will stay with us until he starts work. He used to work for the same company as my roommate Christopher, but Christopher just got a new job yesterday, which we are all very proud of! Congrats Christopher! This means that Christopher will be coming home every night, he gets to sleep in his own bed, and we get to throw him a birthday party! His birthday is on April first, and he will be 21, so come to mi casa for a grand ol time!

I may or may not blog more, I am still a bit groggy, and I am sure I am leaving out a ton of crap that happened this weekend. Including pics and vids. (Laurel, I have your camera, it is in my car. You left it at Jessa’s, and we need to talk.)

Thank you to my Seattle Family for making me feel better, and thank you to the Kalani Family for reminding me why I need to visit you more often. I love both families.

peace.out

I am just starting to realize that I am not a teenager anymore, and I am not sure I like it.

Last night, Jordan, Laurel, and I all went to the Take Action Tour at El Corazon to see Meg and Dia, Every Avenue, Cute is What we Aim For, and Breathe Carolina. There were so many 16 year old girls there that I felt a need to text my BFF and say OMFG!

Laurel and I have been going to concerts for quite some time now, and I never noticed how young the crowd was, probably because we were young. This time though, we were the older kids. It was a big slap in the face. I am not a teenager anymore. When did this happen?

Oh yeah, when I moved out, started paying rent and bills, attending college, working, and writing in comprehensive complete sentences.

WTF.

That’s alright, in a couple of months I will be able to go to 21+ concerts and feel like a young kid again.

Until then, I am going to continue to read Christopher Moore books, because he is my new favorite author. Seriously. How did I not know about him before? Later on today, when/if I eventually crawl out of bed, I may go to Half Price Books and buy up all the books they have written by Moore. More Moore please!

Current read: You Suck! a love story.
Upcoming read: Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff, Christ’s Childhood Pal

For Moore fans (which should be everyone I know, otherwise, we are not friends anymore.) I found Moore’s blog. It is fab. so: http://blog.chrismoore.com/

Make it a daily read so we can have something to talk about. thankyou.

I am now done with school. I took my last to finals yesterday, back to back. Now I am FREE!

But I feel like I am forgetting something. I know there must be something I have procrastinated until the end. Don’t I have some homework left to do?

Lose faith in society in two simple steps!

1. Work in customer service. Answering the most simple and obvious questions for idiots is a great way to lose faith in society as a whole. When people ask you how to use a Xerox copier when there are pictures with big bold print taped to the front and under the glass, instant negative points towards faith in society. “well, you put the document on the glass…..” “face up or down?” “it depends, do you want a blank page, or what you are actually trying to copy…” “oh…so face up?” “no, face down. Then you simply push the BIG GREEN BUTTON that says ’start.’ It’s that easy!” “wow, you kids and your modern technology..”

2. Sit next to the fossilized idiot in my philosophy class. She mixes up the Disney character Pluto, the planet Pluto, and the philosopher Plato all the time. Really? “now, was Pluto a vegetarian?” Seriously? Is that even relevant? No. “Was Kant a Utilitarian?” No, he was a KANTian. Today, she was just shouting random things that didn’t even make sense.
For example:
Prof: “what was the idea behind Kantianism?”
Idiot: “….ANIMAL RIGHTS!….EQUALITY!…..UBERMENSCHE!”
Prof: “No, not at all.”

We (the class) decided that since she gets to shout off random things, we could too.

Example:
Prof: “What did Madison mean by ‘factions?’”
Smart Ass (SA) 1: “Lunchbox!”
SA2: “Purple!”
SA3: “Tree House!”
SA4: “47!”
SA5: “Winona Ryder!”
SA6: “9-11″
SA7: “Quadratic Equation!”
Idiot: “That’s not in my notes….” (Scratches head and starts writing stuff down.)

Ending result: Brain goes on vacation, and all faith in society is lost all together.

The end.

I had a huge success today, I made a dress. Not just an ordinary dress, a super awesome dress! I bought a $4 flannel night shirt that was XXL sized from the Value Village. Today, I unseamed most of the seams, removed the shoulder pads and sleeves, took it in, replaced a few buttons, and sewed it back together again. All of this was done by hand, needle and thread style. I have not sewn something significant since I was about 10 years old sewing pillows for fun, the biggest challenge back then was making a circle pillow actually look circular. But today I made something wearable and it totally rocks my world. I want to wear it everyday, except that would be gross.

I will post pictures when it is not an obscene hour of the night and I don’t look like I just slept with the grim reaper. yes.

Goodnight and…

peace.out.

I have yet to hear back from the Northwest Center about a job. Laurel seems to have hope in me, but I am starting to loose faith. I am still going to call in the morning, and remind them that I really want to work there.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE hire me?

Like soonish?

For no proper reason, I am super excited about life and, despite the hour, I am fully awake and ready to start the day, which has ended. I also re-discovered music. I have been listening to chill, happy music lately that makes you want to sing in the rain (with exceptions to the occasional Spill Canvas). But, the other day, I was looking up shows, could not find ANYTHING in the Stranger on the days that I wanted to concert-go. So what did I do? Looked on Purevolume. Surprisingly I remembered both my user name AND password! Then I was taken into my past, reliving the days of SKSK and other greatness. I used to go to concerts all the time with Laurel, and puke a lot (for no reason). I miss those days.

Speaking of purevolume, this was my profile picture back then…haha!

Seriously! Back in the DAY!

And speaking of haires, I cut mine again. It was getting long enough to curl, and I had enough of it! I will post a picture possibly. but if not, it looks about like Winona Ryder in the movie Girl Interrupted. AKA, it’s really short, and I love it! It won’t be curling for a while now, and that makes me happy.

So, I have given up on the Charlie Bone series. It couldn’t hold my interest, the writing is not up to par even for a “little kid” book. At uneventful times there is a massive amount of description for no reason, and at the height of excitement there is no description at all. To the point that you have to re-read it a couple of times to understand fully what was going on, because it all goes to fast. Not a fan, maybe in a month or so I will enjoy it again. It is just another sad attempt at trying to find another series that is as close to Harry Potter as possible. Charlie Bone = Epic Fail! Instead, I have decided to re-read Brave New World, the trailing essay by Huxley, and The Island. In Order.

After that? Possibly the Wheel of Times series if I can find it at a used bookstore. (No luck so far.) It is that time in the school year that I can read books of my own liking, which makes me really happy, because I know that I am not procrastinating just to read.

This weekend, I think I am going to the zoo. I have to write an English essay. It is an ethnography-type paper, and I have to go somewhere I have never gone before. I have been to the local zoo, but I have never been inside of it. I just skateboarded in the entrance in a box. It was quite swell, and surprisingly I did not get kicked out. This time I am not even going to look at the animals though. I am going to be watching the people watch the animals. Hopefully there will be an interesting crowd. If anyone wants to go with me, they are more than welcome to. I am not sure what day, or when, but the rough draft for the essay is due Monday, so preferably before Monday afternoon.

That is all.

P.S.
Do you mind getting my ticket for the show that is coming up, or direct me to somewhere that I can get it? Do you have yours? I can write you a check-ola. Thankyou!

Peace.Out

Today I decided that I’m just plain queer. The end. I decided that queer is a more umbrella term, and I like it better. Do people really need to know that I am a girl, and that I only like girls? Not really. So, queer. Yes. I enjoy it, it sounds better.

Queer it is. Deal with it.

It is the second to last week of school, and I have lost interest entirely. For example, instead of paying attention in Philosophy class, I’m blogging away via Sidekick with my feet up on my desk. I lost interest in Philosophy about the second week of class. The classroom has big windows that look out over the city, I space out and daydream, then suddenly the class is over and I still have no idea about the Philosophy of Economics (today’s topic).

Pixi comes home today, we get to grocery shop and do an immense amount of homework. Sounds exciting eh?

Most importantly, I would like to give a couple of shout-outs:

Producers of The L Word: WHAT THE HELL? Seriously? That was in no way a proper way to end not only a series, but an entire show. What the hell happens to eveyone? Alright, Alice + Tasha back on, Shane obviously can’t date a dead girl, especially one who is such a scheming douchbag. Does Kit believe her sister, or the dead slut? What the hell happens in NY? What happens with Max and his baby? SERIOUSLY. The worst thing though, thanks for showing like half a second of Carmen. My blue balls really enjoyed that!

God: snow? Really? Check the calandar dude, it’s march. The whole hail-snow-sun-cloud-rinse-repeat crap is getting old and belongs in fall. Knock it off dude, or I am calling the 1-800 number and complaining.

Rex: I love you, a lot. I believe you should come to seattle after school is finished, and enjoy mold-free-ness with us. I love you!

Everyone else, I love you as well.

Peace.out.

Oh wait,
P.s. Sarah Porter, you need to call me. No. No. Just call me.
