PICS
BUT. more importantly, if you havent looked at mckenzies new set, um, go do that, because she fucking rules.
okay. venting. you dont have to read if you dont want to, hahaha, and i dont blame you, but i really have to say something now.
something i am NOT annoyed by is albertines photography. ive let her know, a few times, but i seriously feel compelled to say again and again how incredible her work is. holy goddamn...its fucking inspiring. agh. it makes me like this: 
and this: 
and this: 
and this: 
. all at the same time, even! just go see what i mean.
hm. i think ive calmed down. its time to go find some food.
[EDITTTTTTT!] my new profile picture was approved!! no more looking angry and mean for me...im all badass now.
1. pick up an issue of the mercury, because my picture of banjo won pet photo of the week! he is on page 54, in black and white, which doesnt look NEARLY as cool as the original:
2. come to this show next thursday, where i will be merching for my boys in nickel arcade:
3. HAVE A HUGE ORGASM, because ikea is coming to portland!! by spring 2007 they should be set up at some location out by the airport. holy goddamn. im wondering if i can maybe be a stock person or a merchandiser with the way i look...

tonight is the powerball drawing. even after taxes, 340 million is still over 100 million, and i think thats acceptable. they showed people on the news saying what theyd get with the money. "ive always wanted to go to new york. id go to new york!" "a new house." "kids. id give it back to the kids." (i dont know wtf thats supposed to mean...give back...) and i really really wanted to be one of the people they showed, saying, "tattoos." that, and lighting equipment.
tv is bad. top model and the oc are the two things im okay with being addicted to, but stupid fox has us taping episodes of house when were at work, and i discovered that playboy bunny show on E the other night. i miss the days when all i watched was trading spaces and christopher lowell--all my tv that i watch now is trash, haha. also relevant: i really like when old ladies say theyre watching their "stories." amazing.
i never really do anything for halloween, but i still like carving pumpkins. hahaha, this is mainly because mine are always the fucking best. okay, so here is how lame i am. one year i carved three huge pumpkins, each one with the faces of a different member of green day, and a fourth small pumpkin with the gd logo from shenanigans. id post the picture, but the harddrive for our last computer ate it. youll have to trust that they were fucking amazing.
i sure managed to write a whole lot about nothing. i think im going to go enjoy a nice almost-two-in-the-afternoon shower now.
edit! here is a picture from a couple days ago. i was shooting a friend, and she got a phonecall so i flipped the camera around and snuck a neat picture:
i want to go to sleep and wake up in ten years, married and living in a house with this amazing boy. and rich, so i dont have to work. i hate working.
work in an hour, and i still need to get ready. then when i get there, theres 93884378483 things to do, and the most frustrating thing is that i KNOW i wont be able to do them all.
my boys sister died in her sleep two days ago. she was 22, and had cerebal palsy. i hadnt even met her yet, in the just-over-a-year that weve been together. i dont even know what to do to make him feel better...its so fucked up, and normally im not religious, or big into anything like that, but things have been making me wonder lately...has anyone else lost someone this close before? any advice for me to help him? i think its just gonna take time...
on a [much] lighter note, come november sixth or so, we may have a set date for the wedding.
i hope its sooner than later! im not big on tradition, really, but im excited to take his last name. for some reason it just seems right.ehhhhh...off to go DO things.
2. i still hate my profile picture. i look mean! im not mean. swear.
3. i also swear that ill try to take some pictures of the rest of my tattoos in the next couple of days. at least a few more, i hope.
4. i have a cold and way too many errands to run today. days off are a tease.
5. are you a nerd? then I NEED YOUR HELP!! its about the photo website / online portfolio im setting up...
6. i like lists!
7. im getting banjo those funny little kitty toenail covers. hopefully this will work as well as declawing would. i dont want to hurt his little feets! these dont look THAT lame, do they?
8. i like some limbo girls, and here they are! show em some love...
9. i think im out of things to say. hmm.
anywayssssss...
i got home sunday from the shoot this weekend (which was me and the boys anniversary...we drove into town for bad chinese food saturday night.
), and had an email letting me know id won a ticket to green days tacoma show the next night. so i went to that, and it was amazing...next night back in portland the boy took me to go see the matches &less than jake. i dunno if i was tired, or if im just old and crabby now, but it was not nearly as much fun as i remember those shows being. it just reinforced my avoidance of ridiculous pop-punk shows. or any shows. nothing against the bands--they played great! im just old &lame.
thennnnnn tonight was green day and jimmy in pee-town. i took a lot of pictures:
they were both just fucking GOOD. and, oh hey, guess what, i also played bass onstage:
thats goddamn right. you have no idea how retarded excited i was and am. hahaha, ive accepted that im a huge idiot, so im alright feeling a little bit like one after tonight. seriously, as soon as they were out onstage, i started bawling like a baby, ala teenybopper beatles fans:
&i did that at BOTH shows. sigh.
&i dropped close to $250 on stupid merchandise that will just sit in the other room, too. well, $75 of it was shirts, but you get the idea.
life is good.
there are more (& not cut-off versions) in my pictures folder, too.
i get my new camera tomorrow! expect lots of stupid pictures of me figuring the thing out. maybe pictures of the apartment, too, cos we got a table &four chairs from target for $19.98 (originally 79.99...!!), so it actually looks like people are living here.
banjo keeps sitting in a particular plant. short of putting thumbtacks poky-side-up in the dirt, is there any way to keep him out of the damn plant?? i even tried some "pet stopper" spray made just for plants &shrubs. maybe i ought to post this in the new MARTHA group...
