the livejournal "season's greetings" thing reminds me that, although i despise winter, before i die, i would like to see the northern lights. i think you can see them in alaska, at least that's what i remember from this old nancy drew novel i read back in the day.
anyway, happy christmas and merry new year! |

i haven't updated in a hundred years or more and here is why:
spending 8+ hours a day staring at a computer screen makes me want to come home and stare at the walls instead.
it's totally sad really.
i promise to be a better, more interesting poster in the new year. probably on myspace instead though. *shudder* |

current worries:
1. my eye keeps twitching and although i looked it up earlier today on webmd and it assured me that eyelid twitches are usually due to fatigue and/or stress, i'm still a little freaked out.
2. the CAT's eye is also fucked up and runny. i think she scratched the corner of it, because the discharge is clear and there is a little scab, but i read on the internets about this and she could have the following: the flu, feline leukemia, HERPES, etc. and could go blind. so since i'm a worrywart, it looks like my friday will involve a nice, pricey trip to the vet. yay.
other than those things, i am getting by, i suppose. i bought some fall-ish stuff on friday, including skinny black corduroy pants, which surprisingly don't make me look like a pear with legs(but i think i'm fatter than ever. joy). i visited with annette, went shopping, but didn't buy anything. saw a girl surrounded by blood and puke outside of the metro(i never would have guessed that built to spill would be so rowdy, but you just can't underestimate those hipster kids, can you??)
i got new glasses(just in time for my shifty eye twitches, i guess) and i have contacts waiting for me to pick up on friday; they wouldn't let me take them home unless i sat through a "class" on how to put them in and how to take them out. i reckon it's better than losing an eye or something.
that being said, i don't know why this was such an "eye"-oriented post. i'll save the beaver-oriented post for next time... |

eep! happy belated birthday ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) gatheringmoss! i hope it was mega lovely and awesome!! =D
in other news, i have booked my and dani's flight to new york. and i reserved our hostel room today. o.O heard back from the volunteer coordinator, so now i will just bite my nails and yank out my hair until i hear for sure if i am volunteering. so far, i do not want to see any of the bands that are in the line-up, but i have hopes that there will be a few that turn my crank.
i have been sick the past few days, so i have been lying around being a bum. i have a big, important meeting/lunch with the vice president of the motor club on tuesday, so i am a bit nervous that i will make an ass out of myself. i'm not sure what to wear or what to say...so we'll see how this pans out. heh!
i broke my favorite sunglasses last week, which means i had to buy a new pair. i ended up getting aviators, and i'm pretty sure they make me look like a giant asshole.
excellent. |

what does mega awesome sound like?
it sounds like an extra 10% on your paycheck. and BACKPAY because said 10% has been left off of 3 of your paychecks.
i could really start to love this job, even though it makes me dress a bit like a school marm...
speaking of work, i have started to save up for a car. although, i don't know what sort i want yet. i want something that meets the following criteria:
*cute
*non-expensive
*gas efficient
*has personality(like keith richards, only maybe not as junky)
*GOOD SAFETY RATING
*relatively newish
*automatic(my friend taught me stick-shift back in the day, but i'm super crap at it now i'm pretty certain)
actually, i don't *want* a car, but i have to get one before winter, because frankly, holding keith richards' driver's side door closed with a piece of wire is just a little ghetto.
also, I AM GOING TO NEW YORK IN OCTOBER!! i still don't know if i'm volunteering, but i figure i will go anyway...because i can actually AFFORD it. and stay in a semi-nice hotel! =D =D
and i'm kicking around the idea of london in may, since in january, i will get 4 weeks of paid vacation...how is the weather in the UK in the spring? besides rainy i mean?
if you couldn't tell, i am trying to focus on the good things right now, cos as of late, i have actually been feeling a little under the weather and mopey. i guess i just want something new and exciting and of the male variety to happen to me...heh! |

pezza24, randomrulez, and sisterpsychosis, it is upon my fellow americans to celebrate our independence from your fair country.
as some may recall, i am not fond of fireworks(cowering beneath my bed, flinching everytime one explodes within an 80 mile radius, etc. etc. etc.). instead, i will do what every good united states-ian with or without a firework phobia would do:
gorge myself with loads of fried and/or barbecued food(at the taste of chicago. honestly. no wonder chicago is america's fattest city. this is where that sort of shit BREEDS, i swear to christ). and shop(i will hopefully walk off 500 of the 2.6 million calories i will consume by going down to the virgin megastore).
at some point tomorrow, i will watch the set of an englishman(ray davies). funny that they would have someone english performing on independence day, but i'm pretty sure at least 3 out of every 10 americans wouldn't know who we'd gotten our independence from anyway(mexico? france? them pinko commies??).
anyway, hooray america's birthday! woot woot! |

the most traumatic thing has occurred.
my alcohol tolerance has gotten a lot higher.
o.O
certainly this is no good. no good at all.
in other news, i had a moment of clarity on friday and i'm about 85% certain the aforementioned crush is over. god bless that i didn't make a complete and total ass out of myself...
i also watched a bit of a world cup match today, which was exciting. oddly enough, it made me want to have muscular, footballer legs. scary! |

hrm, it's been awhile, hasn't it?
i have done the following:
-gotten a new tattoo(my biggest one yet, on my forearm, of a welsh dragon. i love him so so much!)
-of course bought charlatans tickets for chicago. *le sigh* the 24th is taking FOREVER, for the love of christ...
-gotten to hang out with autumnjane TWICE in the last week. i have missed her so much!!
-gone to a cubs game. i was way bored until this mega sweet ghetto broad in front of us started heckling and shouting stuff at the pirates' players. some gross dudes tried to chat me up while i was drinking my overly priced PBR and trying to chain smoke 3 cigarettes before going back to my seat.
-worked a shitload. which is a lot of what i do these days.
-gotten three of the greatest bracelets from two of my favorite laydees, sienna_blaze and zooeyskidsister!
-listened a lot to my humps. can't really explain that, but hey, i got a lot of junk in the trunk, so i can sort of relate.
-been fairly alright lately. a feat! |

[Apr. 18th, 2006|01:07 am] |
this is how i would ideally like my 2006 to go:
late may/june: charlatans gigs all about the midwest(pending they tour then, that is...)
october 31-november 4: volunteering at cmj music marathon
late december/new years: london with my friend karin
i must start saving now! eeep!
plus, i needs to get me an apartment, as i am going to live alone instead of with a roommate... o.O |

last night was supergrass. i don't really have much to say about it actually. good show. i liked the new songs better live than on the CD. left about 3/4 of the way through the set cos val wasn't feeling well and was getting annoyed by the drunken groupies standing near us. one thing i feel i must say though is, the opening band, pilotdrift, did not amuse me. in fact, i considered leaving during THEIR set, cos i was just so bored by it. maybe it was just the circumstances, but in last night's case, i thought they were so bad, it made me not want to even stay for supergrass.
before the show, i wanted to go get a couple of beers, so i went to L&L. talk about saddest experience of my life. for a bit, i was the only girl in there. the men were all much older than me. and i was drinking alone. but there was also something empowering about it cos i didn't feel embarrassed or weird. i think i'm growing accustomed to dining, or just generally being, by myself.
i really don't have much to say. surprisingly. |

i've been tired a lot lately, but i think it is because i drive everywhere now. i hate driving, even though i love keith richards. winter makes it hard to be active anyway...
the other day, i said i hated chicago. that's not true. i miss it dearly. i miss walking down clark street, listening to music, in my own world. i miss my friends. i miss smoke-belching buses, noise, LIFE.
the suburbs are not for me. i say it all the time, but i never really give a solid reason why this is true. the suburbs feel like a place you go to die, not literally, but culturally. there is no place to go that doesn't feel like an inside joke, either with myself or one of my friends. i feel like i'm losing something aside from my independence by living here.
and therefore, i consider moving away from it all. part of me thinks it's the easy way out to move back to chicago. i picture living my whole life there, getting old...and it feels comfortable. but i think i'll be missing out if i don't try my life elsewhere. but where? i'm scared of change too. what if i go to phoenix again and i still hate it? what if i'm lonely? what if what if what if???
but instead of dwelling on this, i will pop another movie in the DVD player and try to fall asleep...although cable television also sounds appealing. |
