Alice wants to wear her cat

my new kitty's name is ophelia. if you know where that name comes from, you rock my casbah.... she is getting a little better. she still hides a lot, but she plays with me now, and she'll come out on her own sometimes. but she is still not getting along with aeon and flux.

i got a call from my apartment manager saying that my apartment isn't clean enough, and she will give me until friday night to come back and better clean the bathroom and kitchen, or $200 will be deducted from my deposit. that's cool of her to let me know rather than just take it out, but it kind of bothers me. the apartment wasn't all that clean when i moved in. it's cleaner now than when i first got there. the girl left gross old nail files, an empty box of tampons, a yucky sponge, and there were big muddy foot prints on the kitchen floor.....

i swear that if i have to make one more phone call giving lovely people that bill me my new mailing address or call to bitch out someone stupid (my fucking car insurance people, the parking people, for instance), i am going to throw some mother fucking shoes!

i ventured to melrose today, a brief retail job hunting adventure. retail jobs are just shitty, not matter what. i then realized that it would just be a better idea to call places to see if they are hiring rather than drive around los angeles, park the car, and go into every place asking them if they need a girl with bright red hair and big boots to do some mundane task for barely enough money to fill my gas tank.

unpacking is going slowly. it's just too fucking hot in here. but it makes me depressed to see all my shit in boxes and bags blocking the fridge and the shower and the entrance.

my sister is flying in from new york this weekend. we're going up to santa barbara on sunday. she got mad at me yesterday on the phone. i hate it when people (particulary family members) get pissed at me before i even have a chance to get a word in, and then continue to yell at me when i try to explain or justify something. i know what i need to do, but i've also had a lot of other shit to do. and if i never have to hear "if you want to be treated like an adult, you need to start acting like and adult" again, i can die a happy girl. i never said i wanted to be an adult. hell, if i had it my way, i'd still be 5 years old. but since i'm not, i also don't want to be treated like i'm 5, and i expect that people can understand that i can make my own decisions, and that this is my own personal journey. i don't have it all figured out yet, i don't know that i ever will. but when i never originally asked for their help to begin with, how can they get so mad at me? is it asking too much that if i have to work retail getting paid minimum wage that i at least can be working somewhere that i like? is is not okay that i haven't started working on something fabulous yet for calarts when the deadline is in january? can people over 35 really not remember what it's like to be 20? must i be so responsible? i don't have all the answers, i never said i did. i'm just trying to figure who i am exactly, and what i will be doing with the rest of my life. i only have so much time to be a kid. i have the rest of my life to have a million more responsibilites and be a stupid adult......

I've always liked the name ophelia, but I've been worried that anything I name that will drown. Maybe I'm insane.

Hey, speaking of names. Don't you think "Chlamydia" is a really nice girl's name when you take it out of context?

Your cat's name is from Hamlet, yes? What's weird is I think I had a friend in high school whose cat had the same name. Not entirely sure, but I vaguely remember that to be the case. Great name, nonetheless.

And no, you don't have to have everything figured out. You will never have everything figured out, none of us will. But it's the constant pursuit that makes life so worth living. It's the people who have given up on that pursuit that are the most lost. Every day that you drive around looking for answers is one day closer to finding yourself. The longer the drive, the better. Just bring lots of good music with you on the drive.

Take care,
LM

i think it is those who are close to us, that truly conquer and devour our very own sanity.

california itself is eating me from the inside out, i think it is time to move back to England real soon.

I love the cats name by the way.

I just wrote you this brilliant and lengthy essay about Hamlet and cats and landlords and then my computer crashed and now it's gone forever.

Ok, maybe it wasn't that brilliant or even that lenthy but it did mention Hamlet and cats and landlords. You're just gonna have to take my word for it.

your situation sounds alot like this book called "beating down the soul" its this essay about how as we get older the mindset of younger people change into being more and more like the brain of our parents. even as jack keruack got older he became conservative. as time progresses many of us are forced to become responible people and get jobs and pay bills and compromise the standerds we made for ourselves when we were young like the guy that says "im never gonna be a corporate slut" before he gets his M.B.A and applies for an executive position at enron. Most of us our in the twilight years between the blithe of youth and the responiblity of adulthood. in 10 years some of us will look back at the tattoos and piercings and wonder what the hell we were doing. Im just saying that you should try to maintain your youthful outlook on the world before you are working a job that gives you so much stress that passing a kidney stones is a welcomed sensation.

hey sweetness...we both have so much change going on. it's rad, and it sucks. I will beware of the dirty old men, but I believe I will rather like the boobies. I'll let you know how my nipples fair after the initial piercing...how long were yours sore? I think I'll still be packing stuff right up unitl I have to start unpacking stuff. I'll be in Santa Barbara on Monday...how strange. Lots of smooches, LiLa
