while tb loads...

i can't sing the praises of the new car enough. i want to open her up so bad, but the cops here are ferocious! she's seriously a ticket waiting to happen.

especially for you, i HIGHLY recommend test driving one when you're ready to buy something new. i feel like it's the perfect blend of your fun racey cars and something long-lasting and practical. and it will last for a REALLY long time. and with the AWD that comes standard, you'd be able to dart all over that curvy hill with no thought of sloshiness - no matter the conditions. and this one is automatic with the manual sport shift thing which i can't WAIT to use. and the sound... OH the sound.

unfortunately, you automatically turn into a lesbian when you buy one. :)

TB Notes

Seriously, why can't -he- just DIE?! The show doesn't need him. *sigh*

Erik's going to play the other team for a bit? Innnnnteresting.

I don't think that worked Tara...sorry...

I'm not happy with this Lafayette turn of events.

Mmmm wolf butt.

At least this season has less of the whiney bitch and more of a plot, but I'm interested to know what she is now.

I like that the show has 2 red heads.

THIS is why you can't declare bankruptcy

my bankruptcy is going to come off my credit in less than 1 year and my credit union STILL won't finance me for a car because there is a bankruptcy on my credit. that is the SOLE reason.

i'm not saying, i'm jsut saying.

Patrick Dennis & Crepes

Tonight. :)
I don't know anything about this band he is with...but it should be good times right?

presentation deets

HOW'D IT GO? you killed it, right? they loved your awesomeness and said "sold!" i just know it.

i'm a-gonna pee my pants

matt and scrappy are coming up here in november. i'm super tres excited.

hi.

I really miss you. :)
I would like to see you or at least talk to you again soon.

cooking

i'm starting to see what people mean when they say cooking is relaxing. i just made a whole night of baking some swordfish steaks i got at trader joes in a tomato basil... thing. walked down to the trader joes, picked up some supplies, walked home, did the dishes, got everything ready and cooked away and it was super mellow and nice. it might not be good, i don't know, but it kind of doesn't matter now... i should remember this tomorrow at lunch when i'm eating what i just made.

maybe i'll start eating meals right after cooking rather than cooking for lunch. :)

ps - i need to work on sautee-ing.

true blood

i think franklin is my new favorite. purely for entertainment value. he's hysterical! in SO MANY ways!

nope

he didn't show. but it doesn't really surprise me. boys have a short attention span. :)

how excited are you about this weekend?!

i think this is true about life too.

This was in my head a lot yesterday and still - "Everyone is tired, you're here to run." -Spirit of the Marathon

Check out Sunday

Treasure Island Music Fest

I may be in Socal - but I love that we have festivals like this in the Bay. :)

affirmation

guess what straight girl found the only straight boy at the 3 gay clubs we went to on saturday night?

and the boy was cute about things - said he didn't want to get my number at a bar, so he needed to meet up with me somewhere. he chose the place and i chose the date. midnight on 7/15 at 21st and glisan.
i have to go only to promote and encourage assertiveness in portland boys because they're "shy" (read: lazy).



ps - i do NOT remember when he looks like. just that he was tall and named lionel. like ritchie. and that he's drunk gay boy approved.

The Hair

Isn't this totally Patrick Dennis hair?

stuff and stuff

have i adequately expressed how unbelievably excited i am to have my own place again? when i said i'd consider doing a room share thing when i first got here, i must have been high. seriously. because having my own place ROCKS MY FACE.

i love it i love it i love it.

if i ever meet a man that is single and hangs out long enough for there to be discussion of joining quaters, he'd better be rich so he can get a house with 2 separate wings with separate kitchens and bathrooms and whatnot with a communal room where there is a huge bed for screwing. and movie watching. and pillow fights.

WOW. that sounds pretty heavenly. or he can just get the apartment next door and we'll just meet up for cuddling, screwing and conversation. :)

anyhooters, i've decided that i'm going to celebrate having my own space as much as i can and i feel like actually USING space is the way to do that. so, once i get a complete kitchen together, i'm going to make myself cook a new meal at least 2 times a week. i kind of did it yesterday and i poached salmon and made some brown rice and IT WAS GOOD. i seriously surprised myself because i usually don't do shite like that.

i feel awesome and accomplished.
oh, and i wore a dress to walk around and do my errands on saturday and got 2 catcalls, 2 homeless dudes talking to me, 3 "nice dress!"s and lots of stares. it was weird but good and i want to do it again.

how was your 4th?

Congrats!

Looks like there is lots to celebrate this independence day for you? Steps towards independence? How are things?

Things here are okay. I'd like to be mentally and physically healthy for a bit. My highlight for June is that I survived 4 days with his mother. :)

Unplugged

dreams

ryan was all OVER my dreams last night. in the weirdest way. it's oddly unsettling. :)

true blood

premiere? worth it?

how much deliciousness was there?

there needs to be a new post here.

Something...anything...that doesn't say "gunman" when I check. (Ugh. Finally getting over that.)

Today's thoughts:
Hal Sparks, comedian, has never drank...how does that happen? Not once? I mean, I guess I've never smoked a cigarette...but I googled and expected him to be Mormon, but he's not. He's also never smoked pot...but is a giant advocate for legalizing it...because he believes in hemp. I don't know why, but after watching this guy for an hour...I think I have a crush on him in a weird brain way.

I am in love. (Though, his mother is coming soon...watch out.) I also really love my bike, my body and my garden in a pretty giant way right now. Also, the entire "The Girl Who..." series, sort of rocked my world, and I highly recommend it. There is 250 pages left for me, the author is dead, and I'm going to mourn losing the awesomeness that is the female lead. I think you would like her.

There is not enough time to do big things I need to. I've not a lot of discipline, routine, schedule or structure in my own life right now, I'm flailing, but at least above water. Things at work are eh, and not a lot of good news on the horizon.

How goes things with you? You doing okay?
