Hypothetically...
If you were me, and you were bored to death of your hair, would you pick this or this for your new style? I'm also considering going back to this look, but I'm not sure. Working in an office of 30 other ladies has me feeling sort of boring and frumpy compared to how cutely coiffed they all are. I haven't touched my hair since March, since it was growing out of being super-duper short, so it's shapeless and uncooperative these days. |

blessed.
On New Year's Eve, my friend Brandon met me after work and offered to buy me lunch from "that dinosaur cafe [I] like so much", haha. It's called Laughing Planet and their food is extremely yum for how affordable it is--mostly burritos and bowls with lots of rice and bean and veggie action, with some chicken and spicy goodness. I got the Che which has plantains and sweet potatoes as well as the usual rice/bean/spicyness. We ate and talked and made plans to hang out again soon after his wife flies back in from Michigan. They're really great and fun people, I'm so glad we found each other again after so many years! Later that evening I moped around my apartment, missing my ghost-boyfriend, while tidying it up for the tea party I was planning. My new e-friend Jenni wanted to meet up and I thought it was a fun way to cheer myself up. I'd also invited Dave, Erin, and Shane since we'd had so much fun together on Christmas. Jenni ended up never calling or showing up, so it was just the four of us left to tea, muffins, and chocolate. We piled into Dave's car afterward and crashed a party he'd been told about. It was an amazing time. Thanks to the bottle of wine and champagne we shared, things went from zero to dancetastic fairly quickly. They're such a hilarious bunch that I was laughing and smiling the entire time, right up to being dropped off home around 5:00am. The next day, I was in hangover/headache city, opting to sleep in until nearly 6:00pm. I finally dragged myself from bed and ate a piece of toast, chatted off and on with my friend Johnny while working on some writing, and then he decided to come pick me up for a late dinner. There was also, he said, a surprise involved so I'd have to wait a couple of hours. You guys! He showed up to my flat with bags of groceries! It was the sweetest thing ever, and totally unexpected (also well-timed, because I was running pretty low on oatmeal and beans). My cupboard's never been this full before, it's overwhelming. I gave him a big hug and we set off to find dinner adventure. We ended up at Le Bistro Montage, which is precariously placed under the Morrison Bridge and surrounded by bum camps--there was even a fight nearby involving dogs when we walked up--but once inside it's all class. We split a plate of spicy frog's legs (so messy but so divine!), each took 2 oyster "shots" (really fresh and with lemon juice and cocktail sauce they were perfect) and I had the crawfish etouffe. It was the best meal I can remember ever having eaten. It was really great to finally hang out with Johnny, he's so nice and chill (and didn't seem to mind me excitedly chattering on about cooking and film snobs, ha!) and we get on really well. All in all, the past couple of days has underscored just how lucky I am to have made such great people in my life. ♥ |

I'm having a tea party for NYE tonight. It began as a silly way to meet up with my new friend Jenni, and evolved into an actual gathering. I'm actually kind of excited. :) |

Buy your own heavy labor imitation and go to parties and drink bacardies
 My point in posting this is simply to ask why I couldn't locate the plumber drooping pants department? Since apparently yuppies that drink lattes moonlight as youth ministers and enjoy sucking cock on weekends enjoy pretending they know how to drive a truck. Oh wait I answered my own question, I bet they go to truck stops to suck that cock. Doh I'm dumb! |

a piece of shit
just watched a new movie starring an aging action star, most action stars from the 80's are aging so feel free to guess, and see if you can decipher who this fucking talent is. ok so the movie starts with the most unrealistic scene where a girl that is like 18 years old is naked and is giving this douche a lap dance, as he barelly shows any emotion even though he's supposedly greatly in love with her. Anyhoo wooden is an understatement here, so this girl wiggles around completely unnaturally and then the premise. Ok so she gets asaulted but before the guy can do any real damage her husband or whatever the douche is supposed to be I'd say dad with privileges. Ok so he comes beats the guy off and runs after the guy when he starts to run away and then it cuts to the guy being dead and our douche main character being sent to jail for killing the guy because he's an ex special forces and blah blah, anyhoo several years later. He gets a letter in jail that says hey I'm your wife I guess and Im done waiting blah blah, ok so a bit later he gets released cus they realize he didn't do it after all. So our douche I mean star is all broken up about it. So for no reason he mutilates some muggers then steals a car, then he just decides to hang out in a rest area until TADAA something happens. Ok so what happens is a car gets pulled over by a cop, the cop get's shot by 2 chinese guys because the cop finds money in their trunk. Our star says shit and goes to work, he dispatches one guy, but the other manages to get away but not before our star has grabbed the bag of money and found a girl in the trunk too, she happens to be like 18. Anyhoo ok i forgot before the cop thing two appearantly russian kids are there at the rest stop and one of them gets killed by the chinese guys, ok so our celebrity with the cash the girl and the left over russian dude take off. They seperate because our douche has decided to help the girl so the russian kid says hey my dad is also russian and if you need help let me know. Ok so turns out the cash had a tracking device so they get tracked down by chinese dudes, but these are different ones, turns out there are two factions. So our star action star dispatches these chinese guys brutally and he and the 18 year old girl run and decide to go ask the russians for help. Ok here I should explain that the girl is trying to get her uncle into the US and the chinese are helping but they are also working for the other chinese who dont want him here so the girl is like bait but they already have the guy so anyhoo it makes no fucking sense. Anyhoo fuck all that, they go to the russians, the russians are like hey who are you, so our star beats them up and they decide to introduce them to the boss, which is how it works in russia. Ok so now our douche star and the russians are drinking vodka and talking about how they are brothers because the russians kid was saved by our star. I should mention also that the cops in town are corrupt and work for the chinese. Ok so the corrupt cops who are expertly played by really bad actors are told to get the girl and money, so they and a group of 5 to 7 to 10 chinese henchmen who randomly change in numbers invade the house and start killing russians. The russians fight back with our douche, they finaly kill them all including all the cops, and our douche saves someone again so now the russian boss is really into our douche star. Ok we now move to the final showdown, the girls uncle has arrived, and the chinese have killed the other chinese in a double cross and are waiting for who I don't know, I guess the russians, who come with Captain douche. Lots of shooting and baddly choreographed fighting where you see the bad guys throw haymakers and our star dilligently punch them 50 times in the face smashing them into walls and all this other shit, you know general action movie shit. Ok so the final showdown, the girl gets shot so our douche decides the time is over for slowly killing people and stabbing them in the back of the neck, ok he's going for the boss. Before this the chinese guys set up explosives everywhere, why I don't know again. Ok so our douche just walks up and in and starts to fight the boss chinese who knows more kung fu than the other chinese but is no match for our douche who towers over him and generaly throws him all over the place like a rag doll. So he rescues the uncle while the young russian son who is like 18 and who is watching over the 18 year old girl is all worried but then they all lower their guns as they see douche walk out of the house. UH OH The boss aint dead, the only guy our douche didn't stab in the back of the neck, what a shock. HE has grabbed a large gun and as he is about to shoot our star douche in the back, the girl screams, but our douche grabbed the detonator and the last thing the boss sees is douchey pressing the button and the whole place explodes. The day is saved. Ok so we shoot ahead in time, our 60 year old action star is with the 18 year old girl instead of the 18year old russian kid with whoom it seemed like there was some chemistry. Perhaps i missed the romance in the wooden acting or perhaps I missed it because it wasn't there. However yeah what a fucking smoking piece of shit movie. Feel free to ask me more about it if you want a more indepth review of this colostomy bullshit sack Current Mood: fuck meCurrent Music: sack of shit |

It was probably stupid for me to think that I could go to school right now, my finances and life being what they are. The student loan company finally sent me an "oh hey we did get those checks, sorry dude, here's a statement" letter, but it feels like the universe intervening. In the mean time I'm going to focus on bettering my life in general. Getting my debts paid off, taking better care of myself (physically and mentally/spiritually), making changes. I'm really quite tired of making plans and looking forward to things that never seem to pan out, so fuck that. I'm going to start DOING rather than ARRANGING TO DO. I fret over details instead of letting myself have experiences and get things accomplished and feel good about them. I don't want to make posts about what I want to do. What I'm going to do. I want to be making posts about things I've done. This is my New Year's resolution. |

strangerdanger and drinking and christmas
I spent the day with my friend Brandon, since his wife Dieneke is out of town and we're both Portland orphans. We baked oatmeal raisin chocolate chip cookies, watched internet memes on youtube, he gave me school supplies for Christmas, and we watched "Fight Club". Now I'm in a house full of strangers, care of my friend Dave (whom I've only just met) playing drinking games. Good day <3 |

breathing easier
After a week of silence, Luke called today. He and Shannon had been up at his dad's place in the more rural area of the farm-town he and I grew up in for the past 3 days, and he (understandably) didn't have any signal on his cell phone while up there. My dad used to have the same problem when he went to visit my grandparents out there. I'm really relieved, to say the least, I was starting to worry. He was his old self again and spoke of Shannon's next surgery being soon and how they have a car now, and they're planning on being out here at the end of January. Thank god I was worrying over nothing. I need to remind myself to chill the fuck out sometimes and not let myself get all worked up when I don't know what's going on. |

"are you around?
...
put your breath in my mouth.
put your heart in my chest."
-hospital shipsI'm obsessed with haunting, quiet, peaceful, ambient type music lately. As though if I listen to only things that sound transparent, I'll figure out the secret to transparency myself. Much of the time I'd like to just disappear. There is too much of me. I am just too much. I dress mainly in black and grey when going into public, hoping to blend into the fog and the mass. My heart is breaking but if I am a ghost I will have no heart, and nothing to break. If I don't need I can't be disappointed, and if I am made of just light and air, I will not need. |
