PICS
T-minus 78 days and counting.
everything is going super.
despite a kidney infection, i managed to off-load a raft of shit at a garage sale a week ago.
then i survived graduation on saturday.
it's official, my little sheet of paper means something now because i walked across the stage and shook the hands of some women i've seen infrequently.
yay for american rites of passage i suppose.
at the very least, it made my parents happy and i guess i can take a day out of my life every now and then to do that.
i'm trying to search for the perftect book to take on the train for three days. it has to be fun and/or interesting.
i've already decided against chuck palaniuk and haruki murakami for personal reasons.
let me know if you have any suggestions.
OH!! shit.
i also got a new tattoo yesterday!!
that's my left ditch if you can't quite tell.
so here's the straight dope.
we're taking the train and leaving portland at the very beginning of sept.
minus a 6 hour or so stop over in chicago, we'll be in new york on the 5th.
WOOP!!
in the meantime, i must dispatch all the crap i've managed to accrue in the last 4 years.....
we're taking the train and we've bought one-way tickets to new york.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
so, i tried to self-shoot a set.
it's a little crime-scene-y because of the flash vignetting and the fact that you can see the tripod feet in some of the pictures.
due to the nature of a self-shoot, perspective was completely sacrificed.
i'm not sure if its even worth submitting for second chance, its so rudimentary.
i think i'd rather hold out for the two site photographers who say they're going to be in my area.
SORRY!
the GOOD news is that some COOL pictures happened!
check them out in this spoiler.
this, by the way, is CREEPY, not cute.
my days of free internet have come to a tragic end.
someone want to come and hack me back into my neighbor's wifi? cuz that would be tops. thx.
for those who expressed concern, my janky giney is still on the wagon.
no one has been putting her to work except me and we've been getting along just fine thankyouvermuch.
i'm busily busting out a metal hoop skirt for a project which is leaving me tragically lonely and wrestling with chicken wire in my bedroom. how come no one thinks that sounds like a good time?
at least i have itunes for company.
i put some art up in a local bar this weekend and that's been cool.
it's the second time i've ever had my material up for public consumption and i included the mutant stuffed animal from my Mad Scientist set.
i had to suspend him from the ceiling and it's been a laugh to hear what people have had to say about him.
a coworker and i are considering giving up booze for lent. i'm no christian but why not. thoughts?
i promise a new video blog soon. thanks for all the comments.
to conclude i leave you with my recent verbal victory.
before you read this piece, you must know that i am basically a lunch lady. i work at a cafe in a building on campus that also serves a hot lunch. the main entree is delivered to us mon-thurs by campus catering and we have little to no say in what we get, which makes it a crap shoot but that does NOT keep people from complaining about it.
the recent side dish of tofu rice was confusing enough that a particular gentleman complained about it for two solid days. pain. in. my. ass.
customer: go back to work
me: i just called catering. nothing but tofu rice for the next month
customer: booo
boo
boo
boo
boo
me: we're going to call it the YOU special
customer: what the hell is tofu rice
me: you're a smart boy
someday you'll figure it out
customer: it does not make sense
me: tofu rice
seriously
its a math equation
tofu + rice
you are RIDICULOUS
ridiculous ranter
customer: then its not tofu rice then
its rice with tofu
me: is this how you're trying to develop your elocution skillz
its tofu rice
customer: no
its rice with tofu
me: meat chili
chili with meat?
customer: no
me: pepperoni pizza
you KNOW the pizza is not MADE OUT OF PEPPERONI
your argument doesn't hold water
customer: its not supposed to hold water
its supposed to make sense
me: it does not
customer: ok
so here it is
meat is cooked into the chili
the rice is cooked first then tofu is added
making it rice with tofu
me: send a letter to the dean
customer: tofu rice implies that the rice is made out of tofu
which is not possible
me: start playing guitar or something
you need a new hobby
customer: dont have time for hobbies
me: use all the time you talk about tofu rice to find a hobby
customer: its not that much time
me: i suppose THAT'S relative....
customer: booyah!!!
me: i'm just saying it FEELS LIKE HOURS
ZING
customer: booyah juice!!
me: is that juice made out of booyah or juice with booyah in it?.....

I DO NOT HAVE A MAGNUM SIZED VAGINA.
sweetest thursday,
keep thee away from the king kong cock.
with love,
your vagina
LOOGIT.
i got my hurr did.
i love it.
i've been scheming bright colors for a little bit now.
i think it makes me look a little like CRUELLA DEVILLE!!!!
whatchoo think?
in other news, i am one lucky motherfucker.
the dude that bought my bed was all primed to pick it up last night, but he called before he came over and said, 'i think its really weird that you're selling your bed this soon'.
yeah, it is, but i want his money, which i told him.
he then told me that i can hold onto it as long as he gets it in the end.
WOOT!! more bed time!!
so.... because i was so happy and he was so nice, i offered him a deal.
if he paid in advance (didn't want him to lose interest and find another bed elsewhere) i'd knock a third of the price off.
his reply was this, how about i pay you the whole amount in advance and you help me move it?
what a NICE guy.
then he bought me a fucking beer.
jesus.
ps. wish me luck.
i'm going to see riverdance with my parents tonight....
