woo hoo livejournal!
I'm in San Diego. It's still super hot and it's Sept 25th. That is why people like San Diego. Me, not so much. I'm so excited to go back to Oakland. Back to my decaying, cursed, punk house that we are really hanging on to for some reason. The house of 6 fucking dogs. 5 pit bulls and 1 chihuahua.

I traveled for the briefest period ever- 2 weeks. Made it all the way to St Louis. Then my mom got sick, almost died, and I flew home. She now has to wear a colostomy bag.

I am 24 years old and jobless! Very little prospects for a future but don't really mind because things always seem to work out for me. No matter what, things fall into place. I don't know when my luck will run out, but for now, I am good.

Okay, so I lied about prospects. I am going to class in November and saving up for a 3,000 dollar year long college course.

I like reading blogs, so I'm updating mine.

Maybe you'll get more from me...

Current Mood: excited
Current Music: surrender

worst day ever
So, I got a stack of mail that is full of notices of bounced checks. I am now thousands of dollars in debt yay! But I guess they caught the girl so hopefully it can be taken care of. I really hope so.

There was an error with a prebook so I missed out on lots of money and a fun session with a guy I really really like and have fun with.

My second guy walked due to lack of compatibility. Fucking asshole.

So, I'm sitting alone listening to Branta wanting to cry.

Current Mood: shitty
Current Music: Branta

I turn 22
All day BBQ, short shorts extravaganza....

Bands:
Cropduster
World of Shit
Destructions End
6 Billion Dead
A hessian band for good measure
And maybe weekend warrior

$3 for touring bands, but of course, I would never turn anyone away...

August 12th at 3 pm @ 1021 Campbell St, West O, 94607. (A few blocks of west oakland bart)

Come everyone

this magic moment
So, life...ahhhhh. It's truely all madness.

In an hour I'll be fingerfucking some dude and making fun of his crooked penis for 150 bucks.

My mother overdosed for the 5th time this year and I don't know how to react

Rent is due and I have half of it.

I need to peddle my ass more.

I spend a lot of time alone, in my room, reading several books at once and listening to the radio.

I don't go out anymore.

I might go to Santa Cruz soon.

I turn 22 in 11 days.

Rager on the 12th at my house

I better get ready for session cos it takes me forever

Current Mood: cranky

abandoned typewriters
Man, livejournal, you weird cyber world, thoughts typed for monitors to project, who really kept reading when I stopped anyway.

I drank the new rock star alcoholic beverage and took apart my entire bike just to see it's insides. Smelling like grease is one of my more favorite things, blackened fingernails, bike parts all over the fucking living room, making good use of les' tools because I know she would have been right here with me doing it, laughing at my mistakes, helping me along. I miss her, wherever she is.

I fixed my frame finally. I thought my poor soma was going to retire- NOPE. I love gears but can't afford a derailer and have all the crap to make a fixed gear, so here it goes. Hipster paradise. Oakland's flat, my knees will be fine.

I'm excited for the new year. It seems like Oakland has really just begun for me. Our first show is being booked. I'm saving up to run away to the east coast in 2-3 months. Then after back breaking labor, spain for 2 months. Plans like that never seem to work cos things like that don't depend on plans, pure instinct.

I miss and I don't want to anymore.

Current Mood: bizzare
Current Music: sigur ros

So, the once every other month update. Life has gotten much better. I still have only a couple pennies to my name. But at least none of it is spent on drugscos I've been not doing any of that shit. I drink the occassional tall can but even that has dramatically increased. Maybe it is because I have no money.

I moved into a new house. The circumstances of moving in here are shitty and will affect the house as a whole forever I think. I hope we can create a beautiful living space in Les' honor instead of jackie and friends just getting wasted every night and destroying the place. Perhaps I'll bring that up at tonights house meeting?

It's more expensive but I'm on the prowl for a second job. Not just fucking around anymore....this has become serious. Dire!

I took a mini VK to the SC and it rocked my body 'til it dropped. I went to the beach, rode rides at the boadwalk, arcades, laser tag, old friends, old neighbors, kicker competitions, hot days, and swimming holes.

Life goes on

Does anyone know of any photographers in the bay who would do photoshoot/z with me with prefrence to it being for her/his portfolio rather than him or I having to pay. I would have to show my nips and a little booty (but it would have to be tasteful) so that would be part of the deal. I would need to have access to the pictures for my personal use but the negatives can remain her/his. And I am willing to travel as long as I can bart or bike it. Please respond if you know of any cos I need it within the next couple of weeks.

Thanks

So, it took me two months to find one shitty telemarketing job out here. Now I've been offered/hired into three jobs! I start training Monday for one, next week I get called back for a physical for another, and I'm still working the telemarketing gig.

I think if I like the other jobs (pro domme, telereceptionist), I'll drop the telemarketing one for sure. One job will only be part time, the other only two days a week.

Oakland showed me an amazing week. People I love came through for me, lots of BFF telephone sessions, meeting new, super amazing kids, my housemates being drama free, late night bike rides, dumpstered food, and today the sun is blissin'.

Actually, fuck being indoors. I'm going to go drink kool-aid on the porch with eazy e in the boombox

Current Mood: chipper

It's been a couple months, I know.

I've been in Oakland with sparce internet connection and everytime I'd try to log in I'd have to spend all this time getting a new password when the library only gives us an hour. Now we have a house computer so I can be a loyal lj'er again.

Oakland is okay. I don't know what it is. Maybe I've just been meeting all the wrong people but I haven't been having an insane amount of fun. The first month here was totally rad. Now everything has just settled. It's more than likely just me. If I put forth a little effort I could be making worthwhile friends. All I really do is hang out with my housemates. Dead Rat Beach is not as bad as everyone was saying it is. We'll see next month though- a couple new housemates.

I've been using a paper journal a lot that is going to be put into zine form soon. I was really only going to give it to like 10 people but you lj friends have been reading this shit for years, if any of y'all are interested the first one should be done in a few weeks. It's going to be on my last days in santa cruz and the bicycle trip down the coast.

Current Mood: the flu
Current Music: just the rain

I'm a harlot and I already have drama in the bay. Right on! It's with bike kids too so I'm sure I'll run into them. I'll just stay in the east bay.

I'm moving tomorrow. I'm really excited about it. I missed the bay so much.

My new number shall be 510.923.0525. Anyone in Oakland want to give me a bike tour?

Anyone want to go see high on fire with me in the city?

Current Mood: busy
Current Music: buzzkill

It's such a beautiful/hot day, Ashley suggested we go find a pool.

Only in California...

I have such a love affair with this state, I'll never leave

craftin' motherfucker
Here's a lot of what I've been doing lately:

This one's for sale here

For my Grandma for X-mas:

Scarf made with Moustache Rides Handspun yarn

A windy city Keyhole scarf for my cousin

Toby in a keyhole scarf for my cousin's chihuahua

Remember kids! I am begining to sell. Support my creativity and I'll shower you will kisses!

I would really like to live in this idealistic land of paying rent with what I love to do...

I'm moving back to the bay next month. Let's do some serious hangin

San Diego is the worst. Only good for a break from human beings

Current Music: naked aggression

I had a dream that this guy I knew in the Cruz named Marcello was married and him and I we're having an affair in random hotel rooms around town. That is what I woke up on.

I should cut back my sex in the city intake and stop missing those mutherfuckers who never "drop a line"

At any rate, knitting, jeweling, crafting up a STORM. I want to hit up SC next month to pick up all my old silkscreening supplies and add that to my repertoire.

And I HATE working so much. I'm so happy this all ends on January 1st and I'll have enough money to last me a few months.

That's all she wrote...

Fast food feels fuzzy
Cause it's made from stuff that's skuzy
I always thought I was such a nerd
I refused to eat that strange bean curd
I wouldn't eat it
Wow!
But it ate you!
Ah eeh ooh, Killer tofu. (Eeyae.)
Oooh eeh ooh, Killer tofu!
I eat my sugar cereal
But it makes my teeth bacterial (Eeyaeyo, Eeyae)
If you feel kinda cruddy, (Eeyae)
Just stick right by your buddy (Eeyaeyo)
I don't eat, t-t-t-t-t-too much fried food!

Once I learn intarsia, I'm knitting wristbands with "vegan" across them. Yes, represent our cause.

I'm an obsessive knitter. I've knit two scarves and a pair of gloves and frogged a hat twice in the past two weeks in the limited amount of free time I have. I've also made my own set up super cute hot pink & neon green knitting needles (size 10.5-18), a bunch of chunked, scented candles by hand and a sexy pearl/antique silver bracelet for my gram's for x-mas. Jewelry making is so much fun. So is candle making and so is knitting.

Next up: vegan soap making & handspun soysilk yarn (maybe I'll shave my bunnies and kitty). After this job ends for sure. Craft Til I Die.

Remember y'all, I'm hella up for skill trades, little how to zines, or we could trade our crafts!

xo & happy holidays

Current Mood: snotty
Current Music: the beets in my brain

I don't like that while at work, all people talk with each other about is work related things. I refuse to speak about anything that happened while working, a bad call, or any other work related topics while on break. Why would I spend my hour talking about things that happened?

Also, I'm super sick of explaining knitting to every dick, tom and harry that feels I am the all knowing pedagogue, they're making me dull.

However, there is the cutest thick glasses dork in morrissey shirts who works here. I want to find exuses to talk to him.

Did I ever mention how fucking cool it is to make your own soymilk? Not only can you make tons of soynog for a couple of bucks, you can use all the leftover soybean mush to make some tuna salad or tacos or whatever you can think of. Fuckin' great!

I love making things, this week I'm making knit gloves w/ cable stitch on the front, a hat, a scarf for my mom, a set of knitting needles, a bicycle tube wallet, tons of letters, a couple skirts, some patches with stamps & ink, and mad amounts of cookies because I got bicycle cookie cutters!

I do nothing but craft a read and ride around serra mesa in the freezing cold

Life as a recluse is fucking brilliant

Current Mood: awake
Current Music: matt & kim

For a moment I thought I could see through walls...

I never understood how sensitive I could be

can I pretend we never met?

No more attemps, no more energy put forth towards anything, I will read until my eyes burn, write until my the pink circle cuts deep, drink so much tea it looses it's charm, build a fort in my back yard and never ever grow bored, never ever feel the pain of losing contact with those I love because there will be nothing to lose.

This is it my friends. Leave a message and maybe one day

Current Mood: crushed
Current Music: mountain goats

JODI!
Jodi, let's go in half-z's and ride this bike all over town! We'll pack picnics and ride to parks and laugh at all the suckers riding alone! It'll be grand.

All I do at work is look at bikes online and buy loose leaf tea or books & zines

Spendin' money while earnin' money. How backwards is that...

I'm sick of this town. I c-c-can't relate. Ashley is my only salvation and she goes off to college in less than two months. We can't even brew proper root beer in that time!

Time to find a future.

Current Mood: annoyed
