so i got a text msg. from nicklally today about how he's drinking "the orange monster one last time" and whether or not i have said goodbye. i knew right away that he meant sparks. so i wrote back and he told me that it's true. sparks is going to be discoed. ahhhh. why? WHY? that is seriously my favorite treat, even though it gives me heartburn now. i don't care. i need that sparks all the time. it's my favorite after work, doing yard work, watching tv, coming down from still being drunk, i'm kinda thirsty, everyone else is bringing beer to the show, just need to get charged drink. i'm already imagining going to a few different freddies to stock up. but what about when those are gone? i'm scared. |

| soooo long. |
[Feb. 22nd, 2008|11:14 pm] |
it's been so long since i've last posted, i don't even know where to begin. part of the reason it's been so long is because everyone who reads has seen my face within the last two weeks or so, so i feel like nothing new has happened. so i guess i will post some pictures of my trip to denver. you should know as i was typing that last paragraph, madigan jumped on the table and i said madigan instead of denver. oh, just so you know, she is doing just fine. everything seems to have healed nicely. but we recently noticed that her top layer of teeth are crooked but i guess it's been like that since she was a kitten so no problem.

so what's up.
we're moving into a new house in less than a week. it will be me, mikey, justin k. and lil maddie. it's a two bedroom house, backyard, garage, front yard, washer/dryer, hardwood floors!, fireplace. it's very nice. the wood floors have just been refinished so very nice. i can never live with carpet again. it's been a few weeks since we saw it so i can't really even remember little things about it except that it's perfect and very nice. i wish it was three bedrooms so that maybe we could accomodate lauren if she did actually love me enough to live here but that didn't happen. she can live in my basement. oh yeah, big basement. unfinished.
it was christmas and it didn't really feel like it. but it was still nice. just lounged around all day and did a little drinking. justin h. made tofu vietnamese sandwiches and they were so fucking good. went and saw walk hard and i thought it was pretty funny. opened presents. received a tool set (baby's first tool set), waffle iron, socks, mini food processor which i plan on taking back to get a full sized one, a beautiful handprinted calender from liz, a chia herb garden from j.k. as i get older all i want is kitchen stuff and i can't decide how that makes me feel.
i went to bedbathandbeyond and bought a pot and pan set that cost 400 dollars. wtf right? well since i got that big check from my grandma, i planned on putting a little more money into something as necessary as pots and pans. the last set i had lasted about two years and got totally destroyed in la. and i don't want to mess with teflon ever again. i had a twenty percent off coupon which saved me 80 bucks. and then they had this deal where if you spent more than 300 dollars on calphalon stuff, you get a fifty dollar gift card. so the deals just made sense! and they're beautiful. so excited to cook with them. after being home for awhile, my brother eugene called and about ten minutes into the conversation, i remembered how he sent me a 50 dollar gift card to bbabeyond for xmas and i totally just forgot about it. he bought it specifically for the pots and pans like i asked and i totally fucking forget about it. so now i have 100 credit there. which i guess is fine since we will need stuff for the house but fuck me.
made gingerbread cookies today and they came out pretty good. i still need to send stuff to my family so that's part of it. maybe tomorrow. but probably not.
still planning on coming to denver in jan/feb. definitly talking to the boss tomorrow about it.
all and all things are good. nothing much except moving. yup. oh i helped the bass player from foofighters/sunnydayrealestate at my work and then saw the singer,jenny?, from erase errata at some bar. weird how the celebrities i see here are just there weird "indie rock" famous people. zia from dandy warhols and dude from decemberists shop in my store. but who cares really? i want to see mike tyson and diana ross. |

i started to write a really long entry that was too much for me to handle at the moment.
one. i got a 5000 dollar check from my grandma. my deceased stepdad's mom. paul. she's dying. to have this much money feels crazy. but i am very appreciative of it and have plans for it. going to japan. maybe. with katherine. or alan. being able to pay deposit for new housing situation. being able to go to denver soon. being able to visit eamon in philly in the spring. new jeans. mikey's birthday/christmas stuff. paid off credit card bill! which wasn't that high but still nice to deal with it. paid two months of student loan. which also is not that high but behind two months. plans to invest in whatever adults invest in. so it is totally awesome and unexpected. really good. leave it at that for now.
two. thanksgiving was good. weird because it just makes me miss denver. not my family but my lady family. esp. hillary. thanksgiving in denver the last few years was really special to me. maybe not the last one at chez toxique where punks took over and ate pie straight from the pan but all the ones before. two thanksgivings away from home. whoa. it was weird cause six out of seven of the people here were from denver. sean and maggie just moved here a few months ago. i didn't know them in denver. buddy is friends with them and mikey kind of knew them. and lenny came too so she's totally denver related right?
three. chuck and chelsea came to visit. good times. nice to see chelsea. meh about chuck. i feel like i see that dude every other week now.
four. denver in jan? that's the plan. need to figure out exactly when pretty soon. i guess i need to talk to my boss first. and see if kd actually comes here that month.
five. justin kinnet will be here in less than a week. totally stoked. i miss our third wheel.
six. i got a yellow bike seat two months ago and i totally am too lazy to put up a picture. i paid 140 dollars to get a deluxe tuneup on my bike and it rides like a dream baby! it's been tooooo long. bad mama. so i've been riding to work everyday and it sucks. little hill after little hill. and the rain and cold isn't helping.
seven!!! katherine is applying to grad school at the university of oregon which is in eugene. she said if she got in, she would just live here and commute to eugene a few times a week. so excited! that would be my dream. party! denver moves to portland. i see so many people from denver here. paul, justine, kate, mary bardwell, rik,crusty girl who worked at the oats, dude who's friends with sebastian. i don't talk to any of them really. but i see them.
eight. just watched the last few episodes of season three of lost with justin. so good. even though i've already seen them months ago, i totally forgot so much important stuff. it is still three more months til the new season. ummm...
things are good. xo. |

one. the new radiohead came out yesterday and when i first listened to it, i was like "meh". but then after listening to it alone in our room, i realized how good it is. the first listen scared me a little cause i thought maybe i was over radiohead. this sounds totally lame but this band has been part of my life since i turned thirteen and alan bought me the bends for my birthday. and the muffs but i don't like them so much anymore. i'm not going to geek out and tell you about it because i hate those people. it's good.
two. michael showalter was last night and i didn't go. i'm kinda broke and i just didn't feel like paying twenty dollars to look at him. and no one else was really stoked to go. lenny--sorry i didn't call you.
three. work is going alright but it's messed up my whole body clock. i sleep til eleven every day and go to sleep at two. i worked in the day yesterday for the first time and that was nice. it's weird how i feel pretty comfortable there where as it took me three months or so to get used to whole foods. being at the oats makes me miss the capitol hill store. i keep thinking i see billy in the corner of my eye. my boss is a weiner and he's been gone for almost the whole time i've worked there on vacation. so we'll see how it goes when he gets back. he's just really picky about everything and treats me like a child when telling me what i did wrong.
four. katherine and eamon are going to be here in 4 days!! and i'm so fucking stoked. i miss her a lot. they should be here for 3 full days. party time!
five. living is good. now that i have a job it actually feels like i live here. i didn't leave the house much before.
six. i guess i don't have to much else going on really. boring. |

i got a job. i'm back at the wild oats. grocery. closing. which sucks but whatever. i need a job. real bad. the whole foods thing is supposed to be happening real soon and that will be nice because when that happens, my benefits will kick right in again. ummm...yeah. it's weird to be back there. but one good thing is that this girl stacy, who used to work at the cap hill wild oats in denver, is working at this store now. isn't that crazy? so it will be nice to have someone i know there. she just started there this week. besides that, nothing is going on. madigan is a really bad cat. tearing up the carpet and meowing over and over and over. it's getting cold here. it's fall...so that will be nice. time to get ready for the rain. katherine and eamon are coming to town in three weeks and i'm way excited about that. esp. since i don't think i'm going to be able to make it to denver til january or later because i'm pretty low on money and i didn't think it would take me this long to get a job. ok. |

| yayyy! i did it. |
[Aug. 30th, 2007|05:42 pm] |
so i did it. i wrote a resume. and even sent it out. two are kinda lame. but might be good. one is a print shop and the other is some cutesy boutique place which sells stuff that you would find on buyolympia.com or something. so we'll see. but the third is a daycare. which seems crazy but i keep thinking that i want to work with kids. ever since we volunteered at girls inc. so maybe i'll get it and get a better idea of if this is truly something i want to do. so fuck. wish me luck. oh i also applied to wild oats for natural living. i'm not terrible interested in it but i need a job. it's a bigger store so it will probably be turned into a whole foods soon and then i would be whole foods again. ok. now i'm just thinking out loud.
it's really hot today. portland is weird because it doesn't feel super hot until right around evening time. xo. |
