No one told me christmas was in 5 days! I have not done a single christmas oriented activity yet (including christmas shopping). And new years? Where has time gone?

I need to reflect. Here are some of the more interesting and exciting thing that happened this year:

I became a Suicide Girl.
I developed an infatuation with Noah's bagels.
Only to move to Long Beach, where they don't exist.
I spent an extended period of time in New Orleans.
I started living alone after two relationships crashed and burned.
I met some amazing people, who I've now come to love.
I went to Coachella.
I got my first tattoo.
I got licensed in brazilian waxing.
Steve Irwin took a string ray barb to the heart.
I got trapped in a stairwell.
I signed my first lease and got the apartment of my dreams.
The US senate decided that building-a-$1.2-billion-fence-to-keep-illegal-immigrants-out-of-the-states was a really good idea.
I found the joys of hippy hill.
I started hosting SG radio with Missy.

All in all it was a pretty damn good year. Still, I've got 12 days left and possibilities are endless. What maniacal trouble can I get myself into before the clock strikes twelve?

If nothing so compelling happens before then, everyone have a splendid holiday and a bitchin' new years. Cheers.

I have pictures of my new apartment under the spoiler. They're not the greatest seeing as they're off my camera phone.

I'm just getting over the stomach flu, ugh. On tuesday I had to drive myself to the hospital, which was awful. It ended in me pulling over on PCH & Orange and throwing up for about a half hour. (Not really my favorite place to throw up.) But after much travail, including throwing up in the waiting room, I finally made it to the doctor and she more or less cured me. I still feel like shit and can't really do anything but at least I'm not throwing up all over town.

Ending on a higher note; I had a great time visiting San Francisco last week.



Oh, and kudos on the new profile formats. Very nice.

I moved into my new apartment. I am so happy with it. It's absolutely perfect. I wish I could take pictures and share!

Tomorrow is my birthday. I'm not doing much, except I get to see Joan Jett & The Blackhearts tomorrow night, which is fuckin' hot.


Work is hard.

And extra note for my US dwelling chums:

I would like to remind everyone to go vote tomorrow. Nothing bothers me more than people who whine and whine about the state of the nation but don't exercise their rights as a voter. It is import for us to prove that we can and will share our two cents and that we're ready for change

Thank you for all the comments, my dears. I hope that everyone enjoyed.

Yours truly.

I finally got some pictures back from Lovefest:









Hah. We had a pretty good time. There isn't anything in life much better than drinking and shaking your ass for 12 hours straight.

Mind you I have no recollection of any of these pictures being taken.

I'm packing my beloved apartment all this week. This is possibly the most depressing thing I've ever done. Ugh, I hate all this grown up bullshit, fucking responsibility. I'm gonna miss my home so much.


This the only picture I took in the year I lived here;



Well, back to packing. I've only got three days left.

I was organizing a bunch of my photos today and I found a ton of pictures I really liked. So I decided to upload a few of my favorites. Go look in my pictures.

I also found the time to make mashed potatoes from scratch today.

It's weird having spare time.

A preview of something I shot while I was visiting up north.

I'm back home.

Last night girls and I went to Bang and then later got in a fight with a yuppie at a pizzeria. Life has been particularly fun lately. I'm enjoying myself.

Now that I'm home though I have to start making some decisions. It has recently come to my attention that I really can't afford to live here anymore. I've began to consider moving to San Francisco and living with a friend. I swear, I love it here more than anything but it's sucking me dry. I also admit I'm getting a little bored. Now that school is over I'm also feeling a little lost. I guess I just have to get into my head for bit and really think things out. Shit, I hate having to make decisions, it's so cliche.

Also, stateboard is on the 1st, so I really need to buckle down and start studying. Scary.

Give me a couple weeks and I'll be completely sane again, there's just too much to be serious about right now.
