Pointless Announcements

I thought they looked black in the picture where you are holding the card.

I never painted my nails black. My parents give me weird looks even when I go for navy or dark violet.

I like them, so they're going to stay like this for a couple of days. None of them want me to cut my hair, either. Sometimes, I want to cut it all off, because I had short hair years ago and quite enjoyed it. Then again, I think I'd regret it. But then again again, it's my hair and I should do what I want. Giancarlo doesn't care, but Drew specifically asked me to "please" not cut it short, and Anthony said it's not supposed to be short because his mom has long hair. LOL, those guys.

I just love this new stat counter I'm using on tumblr. It's fun to see visitors from all those really distant countries like Sri Lanka or Bangladesh, and those who go on my blog from work and spend 2 hours looking around.

I just want to say that 2012 sucked. There were like one or two good things that happened, maybe three. Then everything else that happened sucked. Shitty shitty year and i've been working harder at myself than i ever have. Just throwing that out there. Maybe it will end on a high note.

Same here. I dread my New Year's balance.

This is our one year wedding anniversary weekend (our actual anniversary is on Monday), and since we decided not to spend it in the woods in a rustic cabin, we're going to do fun stuff around here. Tonight, we're going to have martinis and go to see Sinister. Tomorrow, we're going to have martinis and go to one of two haunted houses we're planning to see this month. It's gonna be a blast.

2012 has been difficult. I've definitely had worse years, but this year I've had trouble keeping my head up. And it started out so beautifully. By February everything stopped looking so nice.

It seems I'm somewhere between despondent and apathetic more often than not.

Nonsense. They look awesome.

also, Happy Anniversary! <3

There were many nice things as well though.

Alecia you weekend sounds like so much fun. Congratulations on you one year anniversary with your love!

For some reason I decided to stop smoking. But I realize I like smoking once ina while. But now i acnt start again becuase that would mean defeat.
2012 has been another year of the shit storm. Some good, a decent amount of bad, and a slew of whole knows what.

Apathetic is my 2012 mood, as well, Amber. It's been a tough year for my family too, but the upside was that my aunt beat breast cancer.

Right now the clock reads 12:34.

tomorrow is my last day at my shitty retail job. 2012 is looking up for me.

That awkward moment when you realize you should have gotten that girl's number.
That awesome moment when oh yeah, I'll see her on Monday. LOL

Also, this girl and I, while we don't know each other that well, are both looking for a new place. I told her if she needed a roommate, let me know. She said, "Yeah, if you find anything, let me know." So, does this mean she'd be willing to be my roommate, oooorrr was she being nice? Thoughts?

Uuuh, lots of missing variables, there.

She meant, "Let me know so I can bag the place before you do lol."

Clam chowder is made from clams, peanutbutter is made from peanuts, and apple pie is made from apples.

This is why I can't eat girlscout cookies.

All I want right now is a couple of beers, a porch swing, and a cat. The first person who can suply me with these things will get one thousand bucks tax free.

Nope. Just got a pretty disturbing email from my Mum. My Grandma is in the hospital and they don't know what's wrong with her.

In Australia.

Fuck.

I'm sorry to hear that Kit. I hope they figure it out and can have her felling better soon.

Kit come to Oregon we can all have drinks!

Earlier Lily asked me if the "girls all dressed up and the boys all dressed up behind the people getting married are so if one of them changes their mind right then they just choose someone else in the line to marry?"

A little while later she was asking me when her aunt and cousins would be here and I listed off the things my sister had to do before they headed over last thing being "and then come over here" Lily looks at me all blank for a moment and then shakes her head, and, while flipping her hair with both hands, says "What? Did you say 'Then Fluff her hair' "?

thanks Pepper, I hope they figure it out too. Sounds like all the tests they've tried so far have come back negative.
She's doing a little better than when she first went in (On Tuesday... and they tell me now.. thanks) so hopefully she keeps improving. She's pretty much one of the best people ever, and not just because she's my Grandmother. She's just one of those special people.

Noah, I would drink all the drinks right now

man Kit, that is really scary.

Challenge accepted.

Do you tell the little girls that when they maul you outside of Safeway?

I hope your awesome grandma gets better soon, Kit.

Your daughter is hilarious.

I know what it's like to be far away and worried and feel helpless.

Hang in there, hon.

Because I transferred in to this school without all of the required classes for the program, so I'm doubling up on classes to cover the previous years. I placed out of a few with life experience though, so yay some free credits.

All the best to your grandma, Kit. <3

2012 has been a great year for me, a lot of positive things happened.

Explain the life experience.

I had another bear dream, and the context was "me going to the mountains for the first time in oh so many years, look at the snow and the lake and everything oh holy shit there's a bear".

Sooo I guess I'll be staying home this winter, too. Might go when the weather is super cold and they're hibernating.

I do 120 credits! Each class is worth either 10 or 20 credits. Universities are weird.

No, I won't. I'll be here. But I'll need to be preparing to move, anyways. The spring will probably be better for everyone, I think?

Mine last night was a train station where I kept missing the train so eventually I went to the cafe where two lesbian couples were making out, and I bought a large dessert snack that kept alternately transforming between a cupcake, a cookie, and a brownie. While eating it, I began a conversation with the chef who ended up telling me he was a fugitive from The Armenian Republic and the mob was hiding him here, in this cafe, where he now lives as a pastry chef by day and a "pastry chef" by night. I contemplated buying another dessert because it was so good, even while considering his story, but eventually decided against it. I went outside where the train track was a roller coaster track that I was now climbing until my father came and told me to get down. Then my father turned into Tom Cruise with no legs and began to scale the roller coaster train track with his arms - just a shirtless torso with arms and a head- until he fell off and broke his back and could not do his next movie. He laughed but I felt bad, still standing on the track, still waiting for my train.

I could be seeing Kosheen live right now but I had no one to go with, so I went out for tea and pancakes with my friends instead. And almost tripped to death as I was walking out of the tea house. Stupid shiny floors.

My car wouldn't start last night after leaving the bar and it wasn't the battery. It cranked, but wouldn't turn over. Hopefully it isn't awfully expensive. My brother and I pushed it six blocks or so to leave it at a repair place overnight. Needless to say a really good night ended pretty shitty...

Tried calling them today to see if they'd had a chance to look at it and no dice. So no car weekend = boring. Also, getting to work on Monday is gonna be fun.

At least my date went well on Thursday, pretty excited to see what happens with that.

I could listen to women with British accents talk forever. It's not a sexual thing. I just find the accent so pleasant.

Less of a PA than that: I'm still in Arizona with my brother, mother, sister in law and niece. You may or may not know that they are all moving to Virginia. Tonight we are going to a farewell party for them at someone's house.

Even though I only met her a few days ago, I find myself possessive of my niece around people who aren't family. I really do care about the little jitterbug and don't want anything bad to happen to her.

Also my brother said something funny that he didn't want me to post on FB.

When the baby started to cry once, as a joke my brother deeply exhaled and said: "We should have got a goldfish."

I had a great evening with a friend from school that has the same sense of humor as I do. It's a good thing we me. She's awesome. I was pretty drunk.

Five years ago today one of my closest friends and James' best friend died alone in a bathtub with a needle in his arm.

Two days before he was to be divorced from my best friend, making her a widow at 25 instead of a woman with a deceased ex. She was only leaving him because he wouldn't clean up, not for lack of love. And leaving two children I love like my own, as well as a pregnant girlfriend whose child I have never met.

I won't lie and say he was such a great guy, making change and conquering demons and bettering the world. He was a junkie and a bible thumper and a bit of a cry baby. But he had the best sense of humor I ever encountered and I loved him.

He is supposed to be here now. Not gone.

Don't do drugs, or something.

Well God Fuckit, aren't I a buzzkill?

Zachariah's team won their game again today. Score is escaping me at the moment.. I think 37/6? around there.

They are now 5/1, which means one more team to kill before heading to playoffs.

I am rotisserieing a chicken for dinner with homemade scalloped potatoes and greenbeans. Pumpkin pie beeping at me to be taken out of the oven.

I noticed something just a bit ago, the radio plays a hit from two seasons ago that they rarely play anymore just before heading to commercial break. The effect? One turns the volume up super loud and then three minutes later are being blasted by commercials at tremendous decibels.

I'm sorry to hear that about your friend, Amber. It's good that you remember and miss him, regardless of the way he lived his life.

PA: We went to the BEST haunted house I've ever been to last night. I screamed and screamed and screamed. I'm a prime target because of that, so of course I was chased by big scary things with chainsaws and scythes and the like. We were some of the oldest people there, but we doan care bout that. We'll be doing shit like that when we're 50, just watch.

Fuck you, Patchwork and Pies Quilting Retreat; I hate you.

I got stiffed hard last night.

Lady's total was $16.39 and she gave me... exactly 16.39.

I told my boss next time I have to deliver to her place I'm taking my sweet time. Gonna stop through Starbucks, maybe get some gas, whatever.

Non-tippers should be forced to wear signs like lepers of old so that decent healthy people can steer clear.

I'm slightly hungover

I'm off to the ballet.
