    Happy New Year everyone! I'm at work... I just saw a picture of myself from the last Rocky Horror show I went to and came to the conclusion that my New Year's resolution should be to lose 30 pounds. I look like a freaking house. Margaret is the same size as I am, a girl with DDD boobs. I'm huge. I have like, three waists. Ok, maybe two. 37/2= 18.5.......ok, 1 and a half waists. The point is, there is way more of me to love than I love, so the only reasonable course of action is to make less of me. So. Here I go. Feets don't fail me now!

    (I'm a) Turkey!!! (You're a) Turkey!!!! (We love) Turkey!!!!
    I made my first Thanksgiving dinner tonight. And it worked! And the turkey was cooked and not burned! And I used one of those little plastic temperature thingies that pop up when the turkey's done. And it was Good.

    So my parents were like "let's just buy the whole dinner premade" and I glared and gagged and said no, I'd make it. So I did!

    KC helped, thought why he thought it was a good idea to put 10 potatoes' skins down the disposal is beyond me. He got to use his mechanic's skill to fix the clog in the sink. Then, when it was "fixed" I sent him into the livingroom to watch football with my dad and cleared the drain myself. (HOT water + bleach, let sit ten minutes. If it doesn't drain on it's own, plunge and watch dirt and junk drain out beautifully.) I swear, sometimes even the most qualified boys are not as good for the job as a woman.

    Anyway, everyone liked it and no one got sick and it was nice. Yay! Plus, I didn't have to do the dishes! Double yay!

    On the down note, I have to go to sleep now to get up at three to take KC to work. Sigh. Christmas party next week!!!

    "Fun"
    So I went out with my mom looking for a dress for KC's Christmas party. After 6 catalogues, 18 websites, 5 stores and 2 malls, I found one. But not before looking at many atrocities called "semi formal wear".

    My favorites: at a plus-size store named "distinctions". I didn't want to go in, but I swallowed my pride in the hopes of finding the right dress for the ever-vague company semi-formal christmas party. As soon as we walked in, we were accosted by a woman with hair too obviously not her natural color. Stunned, we stood in silence as she started telling us what a "fun, fun" season this was and how they had so many "fun" styles. In the first two minutes, she used the word fun no less than 9 times. 9. Suffice to say that these dresses would be described as "young" if compared to the residents of a convalescent home and "fun" only if compared to funeral wear. In fact, you could earnestly wear some of it to a funeral. The peice de resistance was when she said she'd brought an undergarment and thrust it over the door saying it was "fun". Nothing, short of a root canal, would be LESS fun than that THING. Beige, unadorned, save for the ubiquitous little rosette in between the boobs, a unitard was foisted off on me. The kind you have to wiggle into and promises to make you look "10 pounds lighter in 10 seconds". The trick is that you don't LOOK ten pounds lighter, but actually are after spending fully three minutes wiggling, panting, and contorting your body to squeeze into this monstrosity that is half one's girth. Or half my girth, anyway. This thing was fun in the way that concentraition camps are fun. It hurt, made me feel sick, distorted my body to an unhuman shape, and resulted in me collapsing on the floor feeling that the only thing lighter was my brain for lack of oxygen.

    Luckily in the end, I found a great little red dress at Macy's with a great, not-so-little black bra and with no body-contorting leotard, was a very happy camper.

    Now I just need shoes and jewelry. Oh. Shit.

    ...stay tuned!

    My hips are trying to detatch from my body. Anybody ever heard of piroxicon? That's what I thought. Totally makes my mind warp. I keep driving with my damn blinker on. I can't focus. And my hips are still broken. Bah.

    Also, I've lost KC to EQ II. Oye.

I like rain, but my backyard is flooded at the point and it sems a bit excessive. But it does make all the plants the lovliest green. I managed to at least set a departure date on my job! so on November 19 I will jsut not come in. I've told my boss this already. I have an interview set for nov. 5 and life is lovely, if wet.

    The Worst Quitter Ever
    I think I am the only person I know who has ever failed to quit a job. I called today, said I thought she should find a replacement, that I was giving my notice, and my boss talked me into working more. I don't know what happened! It just all whizzed by like an unfulfilled dream.....I guess I'll tell you the hows and whys of my quitting, if )

    But really, who CAN'T quit?!?! Me! Why? Because I'm a spineless dolt who can't say what she means....or as KC puts it, "kind and considerate".


    He starts his job tomorrow. I'm so psyched for him. And we start collages in 2-D Design tomorrow. Psychness for me too!

    And happy birthday to Meagan.

    And I need more socks.

    And to call the psychiatrist. Figures the person who NEEDS meds is the one who doesn't want them. I hate my brain, it's plotting against me.

    Wowzers!
    Holy f***ing shit! People still write! I still have a journal! Woah! Y'all are lucky, you missed my prozac detox period. I decided that if it was making me UNhappy to take it, than it would be hard pressed to make me happy just by being in my system...so I stopped taking it. And became a crying, sighing, pain in the ass machine for a month. Amazingly, I still have a boyfriend after all of this, the lovely, wonderful, and underemployed KC. (If you know anyone in San Diego who is underemployeed, that is to say, understaffed, let me know). : )

    So, um, I'm at Grossmont, I'm doing traffic school because the chippy said I ran de red light. Racist bastard, just because he's white and I'm ethnically challenged (aka superwhite as a sheet) he thinks he can discriminate on me!

    No, ok, I was only gonna be marginally crazy, but I guess that didn't work out. I missed you guys.

    An update
    My month has consisted of.....Conspiracy theories, imgainary orgies, hookups and breakups and men in dark corners. Dance natzi instructors and hallways from hell, hundreds of gay men I don't know too well. Dressing in drag as a girl not a boy, going to rocky for the first time, oye. (How long did it take me to accomplish that one?) Finding new men on account of a holiday, do you think 26 is too old? I don't care. Never spending a weekend in my house, and no alcohol, but I hope to remedy that one tonight. Getting my hair dyed and no relatives dying, had my 19th birthday on the 19th. Still waiting to take people out to dinner, and people look strangely at you when you're baefoot in the rain.

    If you have questions, comments, or worries about any or all of the topics above, just drop me a line, a note or a letter, and no, that paragraph isn't really a poem.

    Have a fantastic day!

    Ok, first off, does anyone know how to install a D-link? Anyone? All I can get it to do thus far is induce dursing, and I tihnk that's more me than it. I mean, I've put wires into sockets, then into different sockets, restarted, rebooted, reinstalled, and am remotely close to losing my mind. I want the internet on my laptop and I want it now! Or at least in the next month. Please? F---ing A, I mean, really. Why? Why why why? Please, can someone point me to my friendly neighborhood D-link operator?

    Another addition to the OLP engagement clan: tina, class of '02. I'm sure some of oyu had peer counseling with her. A big ol' congrats to her and her fiancee, Eddie.

    Wicca - Fairy: You're sweet and caring but not in
    that motherly way. You're the aloof one of the
    scene, the Goth image is not exactly you but
    its close enough. You have that gentle beauty
    that makes people dream of you; perhaps its the
    sad look in your eye as you watch our Earth get
    raped. You are preoccupied with nature and
    higher understandings than superficial
    interests. This tends to lead people to believe
    that you are an airhead, but you understand
    that material possessions arent everything and
    arguing about it is completely a waste of time.
    You wear your long flowing skirts in black with
    coloured accents like a sprite. Your motto is
    "Worship the Goddess"


    What is your style of Gothic Beauty?

    2004- the year of the tongue?
    Men suck. Women suck. If all these horny people would shove the fuck off, that'd be beautiful. My new year's resolution? Not to make out with random people. Cuz I"m gonna get herpes or some shit otherwise. It's just all fucked up. Have you ever been kissing someone and idly wondering when they'd be done so you could go take a nap? I've had that sensation twice in 2004, and it's only 2 days in. Fuckers. Exes suck. Men just need to stay away. I'm going to go be with my gay male friends and never venture into society again. And I'm having my breasts removed. They're a pain in the ass and the phrase "you have great tits" is undoubtedly the most crass sentence in the English language. Next guy that says the to me loses a testicle. The guy after that loses both. I'm not kidding, I'm fucking tired of it. My head hurts, my mouth tastes like someone else's spit, and if I keep this up, no one will espect me, not even myself. I hope I have the flue and all of these motherfuckers are miserable for weeks.

    On the upside, I can get rid of some of the cluter my ex gave me because he's a jackass. I'm going to be a nun in Austria. I'm gonna pray and chant and eat terrible food and go to church too much and remember and confess every sinful tohught that goes through my mind. I hate this. I"m taking double prozac and going to sleep.

    Ok, to clarify, Billy doesn't suck. He's really nice and respectful and I tihnk I'll go out with him again. Kyle's a dick who's going to hell. Don't go out on 2 dates in one night, especially ifthe first one's with an angel and the other with an asshole.

    Midnight calls
    Why do we kiss osmeone at midnight? What's the story with that? If we're supposed to spend the year doing what we're doing on new year's, does that mean that we'll all spend the year binge drinking and kissing someone whom we may or may not have feelings for, wearing silly hats and looking like fools? I mean, really. What's the deal?
    5:06 pm
    Yes, we have no bannanas...
    Happy new year! I've been awake for 13 hours now, on 4 hours of sleep. I will be working for another...um....6. Fuck. Really, 6 hours? 11pm - 5 pm = 6 hours. I am going to die.

    They'll pave paradise
    Does it strike anyone else as ironic that recording artists out to "heal the world" and every artist to cover "they paved paradise" distribute their CDs and cassets in shrink-wrapped CED(?)releasing plastic containers? Why not recycled paper? It could so be done. Cardboard could be used as a CD "jewel" case. In fact, Beasty Boys' "Hello, Nasty" and Squirrel Nut Zippers "Hot" (?- the one with Hell on it) were both done in (unrecycled, over-processed) cardboard. Anyone else tihnk this should be the new trend? You could have a paper slip cover inside...in fact, make them like miniature LP slipcovers! But with recycled paper with eco-friendly ink. Anyone? Anyone?

    Ok, so working from 6am-11pm is not really conducive to coherent thought, but I think I have apoint here.

    Also, congrats to Tricia on her engagement.
