1:05 pm	Because I haven't updated in a month I decided to subject you all to this. PS I'm moving in a week to Ferndale here 1. What does your Livejournal name mean? That's what everyone called me when I came to Oberlin. Nobody knew my name-- I was just that crazy girl with a bow in her hair everyday. 2. Elaborate on your default photo? Me sitting on Jesus' face. As per usual. 3. Make up a question. Do I really have to? 4. What's your current relationship status? Happily taken 5. What EXACTLY are you wearing right now? My girlscout dress from the 1960s, my tiny black vintage eyelet cardigan, yellow and black ridiculous print tights my mom bought me in London, and bright pink knee high slouchy flat boots. I look kind of like a rainbow pirate elf. 6. What is your current problem? I really don't have one other than everyone is graduating and I have to start school all over again. Fucking inability to make life decisions. 7. What do you love most? Friends. No wait that sounds stupid. Boones Farm and digital cable. 8. What makes you most happy? Steven Tussin 9. Are you musically inclined? No. I can't even clap on beat. 10. If you could go back in time, and change something, what would you change? I'd just go back to the 50s and live. No change to the excellent wardrobe necessary. 11. If you MUST be an animal for ONE day, what would you be? Kitty. I mean........ snake.......... 12. Ever have a near death experience? I almost died of some weird mystery illness twice when I was a child so yeah. 13. Name an obvious quality you have. Social retardation. 14. What's the name of the song that's stuck in your head right now? Loving you is easy cuz you're beautiful. OOOOOOOHHHHHOOOOHOOHOHO 15. Who did you cut and paste this from? I think I copied Drew's, but there were options. 16. Name someone with the same birthday as you. Louise Brooks (my idol! and I totally never knew that until I just used wikipedia) and Veronica Lake 17. Have you ever vandalized someone's private property? Not so much. 18. Have you ever been in a fight? Yeah. 19. Have you ever sung in front of a large audience? Fourth grade choir concert. And anyone who is around when I'm drunk. 20. What is the first thing you notice about the opposite sex? Smell. Mmmm 21. What do you usually order from Starbucks? Chai 24. Has anyone ever said you looked like a celebrity? I used to get Enid from Ghostworld quite a bit. And we all know that Jenny Hoysten from Erase Errata is my exact double. 25. Do you still watch kiddy movies or TV shows? Not so much. 26. Did you have braces? Yup and I didn't wear my retainer even once. Hooray for fucked up teeth. 27. Are you comfortable with your height? Well I need a step stool to reach shit at work and I can't get stuff of the top grocery shelf but whatever. Short is endearing. 28. What is the most romantic thing someone has ever done for you? That's a tough choice. I'll just do the two latest. I passed out at 5 in the morning when a bunch of people were hanging out last week. Later when I was digging through my jeans I found a note that Steven slipped in my pocket when I passed out. It said "loving you is easy because you're beautiful" and had a big heart with our initials in it. It was sweet. Last night he ditched out of work to meet me at the bar. He took me home, there was drunken fucking, and then I mentioned how much I wanted mashed potatoes. Steven left the room and I passed out (come on it was like 4 and I have to be at work at noon...) This morning I woke up and next to the bed there were mashed potatoes on a plate, a pita smeared with the laughing cow cheese spread I like, and a can of diet coke. He went and made me food, and by the time he got back upstairs I was passed out in a pile of my own drool. I am an ass. Steven is sweet. 29. Do you speak any other languages? French. Thrilling. 30. Do you have a crush on someone on your livejournal? I have a crush on everyone. All the time. Current Mood: loved (2 Comments |Comment on this)

8:51 pm	I'm pretty sure this weekend is going to kill me. I am the beer girl at my favorite bar for the HUGE Hamtramck Blowout music festival. Thursday night 8-2 Beer Girl at the Painted Lady. Friday 12-8 at Lost and Found, 8-2 Beer Girl at the Lady. Saturday wake up at 6 in the fucking morning to judge a high school forensics tournament until 5 pm Saturday night work 8-2 at the Painted Lady. Sunday work 12-5 at Lost and Found. SLEEEEEEEEP Monday I'm bartending at the Painted Lady from 6-2, I'm working Tuesday and Wednesday at Lost and Found, and then I'm REALLY going to enjoy my day off on Thursday if I don't die first. This work/money boon couldn't come at a better time as I just had to drop 65 dollars on the morning after pill (stupid stupid!!!!!!!) and 50 for birth control once my cycle starts up. Damn you no health insurance. Damn you to hell. Current Mood: apprehensive (2 Comments |Comment on this)

3:25 am	I just finished my first ever bartending shift. I made 90 in tips which isn't bad for a Thursday, apparantly the usual is around 40 bucks. It's because I wore a really low cut shirt and demanded patrons put tips in my tits. It was a fun night. Hopefully Andy will feel like giving me another guest bartending shift at some point. I fucked up the drawer though. I'm ridiculously happy. I'm buying a house in Hamtramck for 40,000 because it's cheaper than renting and with the mortgage it'd only be like 500 a month and I'd own it. For a house. A 3 bedroom house. Awesome. (Comment on this)

1:48 pm	He defended me when his friends were being jerks either intentionally or unintentionally. He brought me soup and stayed in with me watching arrested development because I was sick. I like him like I like a pot roast. I need to pick up my couch I bought tomorrow at 11 am before work and I fear it won't fit in my car. Anyone help a sister out? Current Mood: In the best mood ever.

9:56 pm	I went on a date this afternoon. But to clarify it was a non valentine's date-- just a regular date. He bought me lunch at Inn Season Cafe (delicious vegetarian restaurant) and we went antiquing. I got a couch today for 32.50. It's gorgeous. I need to figure out how to get it within the next week and where to store it until I move apartments in March. We've spent 6 of the last 8 days together. I met his mother this afternoon. I can't get attached-- especially so soon. This morning I had the best sex of my life. It was more than just fucking. He said he hadn't had sex like that in years and I haven't ever. I wish people would stop doing heroin and crack. Seriously guys. Bad news. I don't care when you smoke pot, pop pills, eat mushrooms, acid, and ecstasy, and I don't even care about the coke. Seriously. Stop with the skag. Current Mood: fucked sore (6 Comments |Comment on this)

5:50 pm	Is it bad to read through someone's myspace messages when they leave themselves logged in on your computer? I don't know how to feel. I'm lost. I have no idea what I"m doing with my life. I feel like bawling. Or that might just be the lack of sleep I've had for the week combined with HEAVY drinking and substance consumption. I want to cut off all my hair and hide in my bathroom from everyone and everything for the next few months. Current Mood: I'm going to sit in my tub now (Comment on this)

5:07 pm	Kelli McLane haaaaaaaates me now I am happy. I am oh so very happy but not happy that Kelli hates me and all my friends. I am so excited for Belle and Sebastian next month. I slept 20 minutes last night after watching Freaks and Geeks for hours and had to work with children at 7:30. Why do I always get so ridiculously drunk when I have to work early with high schoolers? I drank a bottle of wine last night and that was just for starters. I should sleep now but I can't because I ate mini thins. I think I have a fever and I've felt like vomiting all day. I need to get well. I am STD free. Current Mood: grossssssss (2 Comments |Comment on this)

5:49 pm	What a good day. I don't even care that I only slept 2 hours. I guess I can't be so mad at the world right now because some people remind me that there are good things about Detroit. Robotripping tonight with Joy, Crystal, and Steven Michael Shepard aka Steven Tussin tonight at the Painted Lady. I'm bringing donuts for that band that is playing tonight because they love me. I'm their donut girl and they're going to play a Buddy Holly song for me. A stopwatch was used to confirm this morning that I can indeed wash my hair, shave my armpits, and was my face and junk region in under a minute and a half should the occasion call for it. I have a personality where I need to prove things-- no one should ever dare me to do anything. (Comment on this)

2:13 am	I hate it here and I especially hate everybody at the moment. I ate six tofu dogs tonight and kicked collin's ass-- he only ate 4.5. I just want to move away and not give a fuck anymore and not do anything. Norm is making me a corset because he wants me to model it for the dirty show. I hope it will be done in time. Fuck Michigan, Fuck the superbowl. I never thought I'd say it but fuck Detroit. This place is a little too small. (7 Comments |Comment on this)

1:01 am	This weekend I did a lot of things. I went to an Edward 40 hands party with Alexis. I played Edward Girly hands instead. The next day I went to the Painted Lady and wound up running into Phil who has grown a beard. He looks distinguished. He kept rubbing my thigh telling me he missed me. I was not having it. I ended up drunkenly deciding to slam dance with giant punk/ metal boys in leather studded vests. I slipped in so much beer and am so sore. It's nice to be picked back up when you fall. The store is perfectly mustard. I am hungry, but know I should just go to sleep. Current Mood: toothpaste (1 Comment |Comment on this)

2:19 am	My pretty pink 1950s prom dress fits again now that I am 13 lbs lighter. Now if only I had an occasion to wear it. Perhaps if I wear it to the Edward 40 Hands house party on friday, it would go over better than the ghostbuster looking jumpsuit I wore to the last party I attended. Sometimes things aren't appreciated like they should be here. Then again, I forsee urination to be difficult. I am thrilled by the prospect of painting walls on monday.

6:27 pm	I just wanted everyone to know, that I now own the best pair of vintage boots in the world. Pictures will ensue in the next couple days. Fuck it if they're a half size too small, how could I pass up bright red vintage slouchy cowboy boots with FRINGE all along the fucking top and down the side. That's right. Days off are great.

3:10 pm	This is what I've done the last 3 months Set alarm for 9:40. Snooze until 11. Drink breakfast. Get dressed, put on anti persperant, comb hair, brush teeth. Exit house by 11:20. Drive 15 miles to work. Unlock, arrange, and sweep store. Sit in store until 8 pm listening to total idiots' conversations. On occasion meet nice people. Dick around online while at work and try to do as little as possible. Read biographies. Lock up store. Once a week travel to the grocery store to pick up essentials like Diet Coke, hummus, and gardenburger wraps. Drive the 20 minutes home. Check mail and realize there is nothing in the box. Again. Talk to old doorman named Feaster about bullshit. Ride the elevator that bounces up 7 floors and doesn't work half the time. Enter the apartment. Eat dinner. Squish a cockroach. Sit on couch in a stupor and use internet while watching A&E and the discovery health channel. Go to bed at 2. Repeat. Indefinately. I need a vacation. Current Mood: bored (4 Comments |Comment on this)

3:15 pm	I have not shopped. I have not deposited over 650 dollars worth of checks. I want to watch movies and lazers dancing. I saw a commercial for a place in the mall that sells gold teeth. They have rose gold for the ladies. I'm going to that mall with Joy and Nova to see the people that go to this store for tricked out grills. I don't want to sit in my car in an alley with someone for an hour while feeling uncomfotable. I am sorry if being around me makes you miserable because I don't love you. Perhaps if my presence makes you miserable, you should not drunkenly call me at 3:30 in the morning to give you a ride. But the only thing that really upsets me is the possibility of my ipod charger being lost. It's weirding me out that friends are getting engaged.

3:56 am	The power was out in my building this morning. My building is circular and the apartments are like pie wedges-- the staircases and the elevators are in the center of the building meaning that there are no windows or anyway for light to reach the stairwells. Because I did not have a flashlight I had to walk down 7 flights of stairs with only the aid of a lighter to get to work. After falling asleep at 11 I found myself awake at 2 and am still unable to sleep. I awoke from a dream in which I was somehow involved with Woody Allen and was hiding in his bathroom. The boy who blew me off also left me a dream voicemail in which he sounded very serious and said he needed to talk to me about something. I hope I don't have dream AIDS.

3:08 pm	I have somehow acquired myself a boyfriend who is more like a housecat than anything else. He comes over everynight whether I want him to or not. He eats my food. He sleeps in my apartment. He sometimes even sticks around in my apartment when I go to work which I find odd since I only met him like 2 weeks ago and he essentially lives with me. I think, in fact, he spends more time at my house than I do. And the sex is pretty much non existant and he annoys me a lot of the time because he doesn't take his ADD meds since he can't afford them. How did this happen? In light of my recent 8 pound weight gain due in part to thanksgiving and over consumption of calorie laden alcoholic beverages, I have decided what I would like to recieve this holiday season-- bulimia. Current Mood: cold (5 Comments |Comment on this)

10:51 am	The birthday madness is over. I am a greedy girl for having two birthday parties. I am so excited to be back in Oberlin right now. I think my ex boyfriend who I have not talked to in more than two months called me last night to tell me he wants to get back together and that he loves me. This is only upsetting to me because his call caused Lucie Trask's phone number to be deleted from my phone as I was entering it. In other news, Tracy I heart you so much for calling me to wish me happy birthday. For everyone I did not see last night you better come find me today or tomorrow. And if you brought me a giant bottle of cold water I would be so thankful. Current Mood: mellow (2 Comments |Comment on this)
