09:08 pm - Fantastic Mr. Fox!!! YAAAAY!
Ohmygosh!! I'm so excited!! I know that I'm probably the only one in the world who really enjoys Wes Anderson's films, but I just read that he's making "The Fantastic Mr. Fox"!!!! One of Roald Dahl's greatest EVER. I'm really happy about this. I'm really looking forward to it. Really. Really, really. If he butchers it, though, I'm going to have to burn down his mansion. Sooo.....
I feel like crap right now. I prefer a runny nose to not being able to breathe through it. I sound like a fat lady breathing through my mouth. But I'm off tomorrow so I get to spend it recouperating. And it's been so pretty that I've been leaving the door open and somebody's African Grey parrots have gotten loose and they're very tame and pretty and big. I've been feeding them and Leia has come to like them. She hears them say hello (literally "hello") and when I feed them, I leave the door open so she can come and see them, but if they make any sudden moves, she runs away. She's kinda scared, but very interested. I hear there is a reward for the birds, but they seem so happy flying about. And by now, they probably aren't even really African parrots. They were bred here, I'm sure and raised here. Probably used to the weather. If it gets chilly, I'll take them home.

09:56 pm - giving tree
I guess because I'm really tan right now, people keep asking me what my nationality is. Mr. Z was a Persian man and everybody thinks I'm his daughter. Cool! I love Persian women! Anyway, it's cooool. I was talking to Mom and I just mentioned my tattoo. I'm sorry, I am 20 yrs. old and I am NOT going to be afraid of what they think everytime I do something a little out of the ordinary. Plus she inspects me every time she sees me, she's gonna notice any extra piercings and tattoos! The funny part is I know she's gonna like it. She almost started to cry on the phone because I told her that I would never have done it unless I knew I could still give blood to save her if I needed and she was like "I Love You!!! I knew you would never forget your momma!" It was strange. Dad thinks I should never have come to evil california! Ha!! i can be totally gay. We're past that now. Gay is okay. I can even have babies now. But Lordy, NO! Not the tattoos and piercings! I didn't mention my piercings, though. I guess we'll just see what happens with that one. Maybe they won't notice....
I wanted a baby today! Some days I want a baby. I'll never, ever, ever have one. But sometimes I want one. It lasts for a few hours and then I'm normal again. But I was thinking about the giving tree, one of my all time favorite books. And I decided that if by SOME teeeny weeny chance I get knocked up and decide to keep it, I would want to paint my baby room. I would paint a huge giving tree in the corner and make the entire room a page from the book. The page where the tree is giving the boy and apple and it kind of reaches down?? I would want that. Cool, right??

04:37 pm - yay
I now have possible the most beautiful wrist ever. Getting it done was fuuuuun. It was a good kind of pain and I really see more tattoos in my future. Fun. But earlier Friday I knew I wouldn't be able to swim for a while, so I went ot the beach and it was SOOO beautiful! I swam and basked and I had such a wonderful day! And I'm really, really dark now. Then my friend called to say she had to work and I had to get it done on my own, and I did which I think was really good for me to do something that serious on my own. But even all alone, i had a great day. Now it's warm and beautiful and I have all the windows open and the door is open and Leia has found a fly and she's leaping and just flopping around trying to get it, and for some reason, it doesn't want to go outside, so all my shit is getting knocked around, but I can't bring myself to yell at her because she's so cute. I have the most adorable kitten-looking cat, but she's the least graceful animal ever. She falls off the bed every night, and it's a big bed.

Such a beautiful warm day!! Off to the beach I go!!! Yipeee!! Except, I just had a roast beef sandwich.... I'll drive slow. If I disappear off the face of the earth today, my body is somewhere along the Seaside Coast. Okay?? Ok. I'm gonna be soooooo dark.

08:08 pm - pillows and blankets
Well, I went to the store to get a corkscrew because the one I have demolishes the cork and I'm left with little pieces all over the place and one chunk of cork that I can barely stuff back in there in case I don't drink the whole bottle. Yeah, that was a run-on sentence. Anyway, I got my corkscrew, but I also got a new BLANKET!!! WOOOOO! I LOVE new fluffly blankets. And I got new down pillows. They are AWESOME. And my down blanket is pretty and bright blue! I am just being swallowed by fluffiness right now. I lOVE IT! I don't want to get out of bed, though. I just want to lay in bed and sleeeeeeep in the fluffy happy world that I have created.

09:20 pm - blah di blah
I'm going to the grocery store tomorrow. I just love grocery shopping. Because I'm only one person, so I get to cook all these neat little recipes. And if I know I've made too much, I just go down the street and give it to somebody in the mall. They always wonder "who will tommy give her food to..." I'm so bad at leftovers. I forget and cook something else and then I have all this stuff in my fridge and it's all bad. So I do a sort of as I eat basis, which means I have to not be lazy. I have to actually chop stuff up every time I eat instead of just heating it up or eating out. But it allows me to drink more. And have gas to go places. SO tomorrow I'm gonna really run some errands. I just sat on my ass all day today and did nothing, and now I'm not working tomorrow either! Ack! So I'm gonna do stuff. I will not just sit here! Mostly because I've been poor all weekend because After I cleaned that woman's house she paid me with a check and I usually get cash. Then Saturday, I thought the bank was open until 2 and they closed at 1 so I was fucked until tomorrow. But I found these wooden coins I've had for a while for free drinks at one of the bars I go to a lot so I grabbed my friend and we went out and then other people bought us drinks and other people plaid for pool and before we knew it... we were blown. Pretty cool, huh?? Just go out with NO money all the time and be really sweet to everybody at the bar. I guess it's kinda sad when you think about it. And my foot is almost all better. Lauren calls it my fat girl foot. Because it was swollen and next to my other foot, it looked like a fat girl standing by a skinny girl. My feet are really skinny. I'm like "this is the girl who runs when she's sad, and this is the girl who eats cupcakes!"

11:17 pm - The L Word
Oh, god. I've just started watching The L Word. My friend was like "You NEED to watch it". Let me tell you..... I am obsessed. I was up 'till 3 last night just going episode after episode. I only stopped because I ran out. Had to drag my ass into work today because of it. Literally drag, too since I have sprained my ankle. Or something. I was a little... off. And I started to skip. And I skipped wrong and there was this rrrrriiiiiip from my ankle. I was like "I'm FINE!!!" and just kicked off my shoes and continued to be dorky and play pool and walk around and the next day.... whew! It was HUGE and purple and I could here it tearing when I walked! It's the strangest sensation. But Anna (the woman I work for cleaning house who is also a nurse) said just to wrap it and there's nothing I can do unless I broke it, which I didn't. So I did. And it feel fine now. It's still fat and purple and green and I have TOTAL Cankle on that foot, but it doesn't really hurt anymore. But it's still an odd sensation. I know, there is ALWAYS something broken on me!!! hahaha !!
Anyway, The L Word... Watch it.

11:11 pm - purple crazy
I've gone a little purple crazy. I got a purple curtain for my kitchen and I thought "well, that's cute!" Then I found a purple rug for in fron of the sink and I thought "well, that's cute!" then I got a beige trash can and I thought "That's not so cute".. so I painted it purple! I already had a purple cutting board and purple dishes. One day, I'm gonna have my own fridge and I can't WAIT to paint it. I just have such a mad love affair with the color purple. I don't even know why.

09:44 pm - purpura
I have a fucking purpura. Know what that is?? It's when small blood vessels under the skin leak. Why's it always weird shit! At least it doesn't hurt. But I got some new running shooooooes! And they're PURPLE!!! Wooo HOOOOOO! Nothing motivates you like a new pair of shoes. Now I need to get a matching running outfit....

01:43 am
So I'm really happy now! My fishtank WAS knocked over by Leia and there WAS a HUGE mess to clean up, but in the end I saved Charlie and all the snails. AND I just hooked up the NEW tank so he's happy again, too. I had to move EVERYthing out of the living room when the tank collapsed and it took a few days,a lot of fans, and a shop vac to dry out the carpet, but in the end it was worth it! I literally moved out and in again. Today I decided to completely organize and move my furniture about and be more practical. I think it's because of my new job. I got another job for this woman with twins who lives in a tiny house with LOTS of stuff. She's a personal chef for a bunch of rich people, so she makes lots of messes. I posted for childcare, but she asked me if I clean houses and I said yes. Yeah, I am a liar. liar liar and my pants are indeed on fire. She is a pack rat with lots of messiness and my job is to MAKE her throw stuff away and teach her to be organized and practical. Damn. I don't know anything about that!! But I was getting paid for it, so I came and cleaned that house from top to bottom and I got a budget to go to Target and get all their cute little organize thingies and damn, I am really good at this. But now when I come home I just think "why don't I do that all the time?" And now I do! I keep giving her tips on how to better use the space she has and how to create MORE space, and now I'm just following my own advice! Today I packed up EVERYTHING I own and put it on the patio and then I played with my big ass couch and the futon that never dies. until I was happy with the way they were. I'm gonna have this futon until I die. It has moved SO many times! Maybe one day I'll give it back to ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) phramok. But probably not. I love it too much. Then I began moving in all my other crap. A lot of it went in the trash. It's really liberating to throw shit away. It's just STUFF. I hooked up the new tank, and my computer. I unplugged and unhooked everything and was like "OH SHIT!" thinking I wouldn't be able to put it all back together, but it was easy! Everything is more OPEN now. I feel more free sitting here. ANd Leia loves when I move shit around. Now tomorrow, I'm going to borrow a power drill from George(watch out) and install some shelves for the dvd's so I don't have to waste any more space on bookshelves. Maybe I'll just make him do it. Damn I am SO tired now. I'm SO glad I'm not working tomorrow. George said that I would be useless the day after St. Patti's so I should just not work that day and I DID have plans to go get completely plastered, but I just wanted to get organized first. I keep putting everything off to drink and then the next day I'm busy sleeping or doing NOTHING. Plus I need new running shoes and if I had gone out tonight, I would be too poor to even think about running shoes. So I was responsible. I stayed home. Now tomorrow I'm gonna run errands, get shoes, and try a new recipe. I'm gonna make chipino. An italian seafood stew. Should be good. I've been making lots of new seafood recipes. I made these REALLY yummy giant scallops baked in white wine sauce wrapped in bacon, only if I ever make it again, I'll skip the bacon. Something about mixing meats just feels wrong to me. pork with pork, chicken with chicken, beef with beef, seafood with seafood. And that's the way the world should turn.

11:38 pm - redwoods
I while back I went four-wheeling with a buddy of mine down this dirt road that we found along hwy 1. It went up over the hills down to the other side to a big redwood forest. I have never seen trees that big in my life and I can't even imagine them even bigger than that! I looked up the REAL redwood forest and it's frickin an hour away.Why have I not been there before if it's not that far away?? Well, once I get paid, I'm taking a trip up to see the big giant redwoods. I might even get a hotel and stay the night to explore the forest more. I live in California, and I really need to see and enjoy everything there is to see while I still can. Every month, I'm going to take a trip somewhere interesting. I really want to see the Grand Canyon, but that's a longer trip. Maybe when Mom comes in July, we can make the trip together. Either way, I need to appreciate where I am while I'm here.

06:02 pm - tea and stuff
Yo, people. What's up? I'm really hung over today and I don't think I'm ever going to drink ever again. But I had a lot of fun last night AND I took a cab home. Woo hoo responsibility! I just slept all day today and when I woke up, I was hungry. So I went to Carls Jr. to get some tea because I love their tea, then I went to Subway to get a veggie delight because I love that, too. And now I'm thinking of going to see a movie. I was going out with friends tonight, but I just don't feel like drinking anymore and I don't really wanna watch them get all drunk and stupid without me. And I love going to the movies by myself.
I've been trying all these new restaurants with my friends and I just loooooove chinese food. And I loooove spicy food! But you know what's interesting?? When I was younger, I never ate spicy stuff because it gave me such terrible heartburn and now I can eat it and not get heartburn. I guess I grew out of it. But that's strange, isn't it? I've also been drinking a lot of hot tea. I've been all sick and yucky lately and even though I don't like the taste of it, it makes me feel SOOOO much better. But it's actually starting to grow on me. It's beginning to replace coffee. Especially since I work next to a coffee shop and I get all the free hot tea I want. yum yum
Anyway, not much else to ramble about. Leia is doing well. She's so quiet and calm, half the time I have to wake her up to play or go outside because she's perfectly happy doing nothing. As long as she gets petted. She's such a sweet, passive kitty.

09:55 pm - happy
Today I had a yummy margarita at Chilis. My id works! Yaaaay! And now I've just cleaned up and my apartment is all fresh and clean. Don't you just love going to bed when you can crawl in and not have think about when your going to clean?? I've paid all my bills and was able to get a few canvases to paint on. yay! I got a new palette knife, too. LOVE those things. My friend made a really good lasagna the other day and I stole her recipe. I'm gonna try it for Tom when I see him again. She used cottage cheese instead of the other kind. Is that normal?? Well, it turned out yummy anyway. Now I'm about to watch Star Wars Ep. 6. I watched the other two while I was cleaning. AND I got a new pillow!!!! I LOOOOOVE new pillows! All fluffy and fresh!! Leia likes it, too. I almost got her the cutest little pink kitty bed, but she doesn't love anything more than those big paper bags that you get at the grocery store. I always say paper so she has something to lay on. I feel so bad for her when I got out. She's all by herself and she's so weird and quiet. I guess Frida made her more outgoing. Now she never wants to go outside. She just likes to sit at the window or play with her toys. She's such a sweet kitty and I'm gonna try really hard to take her with me to Korea. Only one shouldn't be too hard. I miss Frida. I miss the noise.
Wedsday I'm going to start my new job selling ads. I figure why not? I get money for gas and since Mike is the only one selling right now, I'm bound to make some money with only one fat New Yorker as my competition. I'm gonna work it. Plus, I get to do it whenever I want. On my days off or after work while I still look hot. It gives me yet another reason to look really good. My demo is supposed to be salons, healing centers, fitness/gyms, and pipe shops and tattoo parlors. I added those last two because I've noticed they've never advertised with the magazine before.

08:56 pm
Frida died today. I still can't believe she's gone. I let her out like always and when she didn't come back, I just told myself not to worry. I always worry and she's always fine. So I left the door open and went to go pick up my friend from school, and there was a man downstairs digging a hole and I just knew. My heart sank and I couldn't look. I said if she has a perfect line on her face, then she's mine and he said he was sorry, but she did. I feel so empty. She was so loud and she made so much noise and I was always yelling at her for destroying something and now it's so quiet. Leia's just wondering around looking in the closets and under the couches. I just miss her so so much. I'm so sad without her. Now I have to do everything I can to take Leia with me to Korea. I can't leave her alone. I know it seems stupid to some, but I really loved that crazy cat and I miss her so much.

10:39 pm - car stuff
Well, today was kind of cool. I went to Jon's house and we changed my brake pads! That was fun! He did one side, and I did the other. Then I had some whiskey. I didn't get to really get down like I wanted. There was no music at the bar. Maybe tomorrow night. I'm not sure. Tomorrow we're going to rotate my tires and change the headlight and replace the spark plugs. That shouldn't take too long. But it should be fun! I forgot how much fun it was to do all this. You almost don't need alcohol. Almost.

January 8th, 2008
10:42 pm - what to do for fun
Damn, I don't even know what happened to all the whiskey I had. There's a lot of booze missing. Do I drink that much?? Anyway, I get off at 2 tomorrow and I'm still poor! So I'm just gonna sit around with a buddy and finish off the whiskey. Hopefully I won't be poor Thursday and Friday so I can do some serious partying. Music at the bar! Yay! I'm gonna dance to my heart's content! Today was sooo slow AGAIN. I really need more hours!! But at least I looked fabulous. That's a plus.
Now I'm listening to Deana Carter.... makes me feel like I'm 12!! Remember the Deana Carter phase, Shirley??

03:55 pm - Woa is me
Nothing to do today. I'm off today and I'm poor so I'm not doing anything. If I go out, I'll spend money. I'm going to see Sally on the 20th, and I'm taking my boss with me. We have these clients who spend lots of money on custom jewelry and they are the coolest people. Have you ever met people before where you're just like "adopt me". I just want them to read me bedtime stories. Anyway, they run something out of Sacramento called MVP- Moral Values Program. They buy big houses around the city and turn them into dorms for young kids with no homes. Frank and Monica Victorio. Really cool people. They set rules and guidlines and help young people to learn "self control" and "discipline" while teaching them how to take care of themselves. Sounds cool. I doubt I'd have ever done anything like that, though. If I ran away and there was no Tom, I would totally have prefered the streets to something called MORAL VALUES. But it's still a cool thing. So here's the kicker to the story, SALLY has some 16 yr. old living with her. She's been living with her boyfriend since she was 14, and they just broke up, so she came to stay the night with Leena and never left. Sally talks about her like a pupppy. "The family really likes her". Apparently, she's a good girl. She and Leena are good friends and Sally says that she's doing well with Sally's rules and I'm like "sally, what rules??" But this girl's mother just showed up on the doorstep out of the blue and handed Sally these papers giving guardianship to her and then disappeared. So now Sally feels really bad for her and wants to get her medical all worked out and blah blah blah. But Sally seriously does NOT have her shit together and porbably doesn't need another mouth to feed. So I told her about Frank and Monica's program and she's willing to look at it. She'll still be in Sacramento. So I thought on the 20th we'd go and have a January party together since both our birthdays are in January and while I'm there I can meet this girl. You can't play the player; I'll tell whether or not she's a good girl. And I'll take them to the MVP thing and she can meet Frank and talk about her options. I'm sure there's nothing wrong with her. I was at work when I was talking to her and then Frank and Monica showed up and I told them I'd be coming by and George was like "I want to go!" because he loves them, too and we've always wanted to see where they work. George hates to drive anyway, so I'm going to take him with me and drop him with them and then I'll brig him back when I go back and I guess the other guy I work with will just have to run the store on his own for a few days. I'm excited. A road trip with my boss. But he and everyone I work with is so good to me. I think it'll be fun.
