PICS
20 stitches in my left knee. No broken bones.
What is in the spoilers below is not for the faint of heart.
I went down to LA Friday with about 30 friends and 4 bands from Oakland for Culture Shock Fest. I was there maybe 2 hours before the accident happened. I was on my friends skateboard heading from the van to my buddies house a block away, crossing the crosswalk, when a car comes outta nowhere. I didn't have time to stop or get outta the way. I smashed into the car and bounced off it and hit the pavement.
Somehow with my super human strength (or with a tremendous amount of adrenalin from the shock) I was able to get up, grab my board, and walk to the curb and lay down. All I can remember saying is "Oooooohh fuck," looking at the bone in my knee from the inch and a half deep gash, "I hope they won't have to take out a chunk of my ass to fix this."
I can't remember much else. I guess I made a fuss with the LAPD 'cause I wouldn't give a statement. I must have been looped out of my mind, and rightfully so considering my head was gushing blood. My friend saw the whole thing and made a statement. The police took away the drivers car for 30 days, and my friends told me they talked mad shit to her because she was crying feeling sorry for herself, not having the convenience of a car to go to work, while I was being loaded into the firetruck and taken to the ER. Well at least she can WALK to work.
I am on a whole mess of drugs. 2 kinds of antibiotics, and 2 kinds of pain killers. I'm in a leg brace and using crutches. Doctor said as long as I don't get an infection the stitches should come out in 2 weeks. For the record, the care I received in LA was no where near as decent as the care I got in Oakland. Maybe it's common practice to treat all patients with no insurance this way. They didn't want to give me any pain pills because the doctor said I was drunk. They didn't prescribe me any antibiotics, for whatever reason. And the stitches the doc gave me look like they were part of the special effects makeup for Bride of Frankenstein.
I go and meet with a Personal Injury Lawyer tomorrow to talk about a lawsuit. I have never sued anyone before, so I am kinda nervous. What if they say it was all my fault? What if I can't remember all the information they want? How do I get all the right documents? It's pretty overwhelming for me right now.
With the bum knee I don't even know how I am going to be able to move all my stuff into a new place if I can hardly even walk. I can't drive either. I'm so broke right now to, I am relying on my friends to give me rides to the hospital, and feed me and help me out with necessities.
So needless to say, I could really use your help by supporting my new set. I know it sounds like a trivial thing considering what I have gone through, but the reality is that I have no other line of financial support until I can walk again.
Daybreak
Some of the members have also asked to donate to my PayPal to help me out how they can. You are welcome to send me a PM if you want to get my PayPal info, if you feel so inclined.
Also send me a PM if you want my address to send get well soon mail. I have been stuck on the couch all week, and could really use a bit of love.
And just for humors, I attempt to make fun of myself.
I love you guys, really. All your support and kindness is making the pain go away.
Thanks so much for everthing

So it's Easter Sunday. I am going to see the folks after a very non Easter Sunday punk show with keg!
That means that I will be nice and toasted in time to hang out and deal with all the nonsensical BS of the fam.
Some Easter humor for yall!
I am totally in love with Instagram!
Mostly pics of my pets and random things in my life...
Little pot seedlings are doing so well!
First harvest!

--------------------------------Sets That I Think You Should See!----------------------------------------
Machete - Golden If you knew this girl, you would know how rad she is, and every set she makes is truly golden.
Vivid - Lavender Grey What can I say? This girl has got mad style, and makes me melt she's so HOT!
Discordia - Go with the flow I love her!
Nahp - Sabor a Mi What a total babe!
Spring is here! Finally!
My garden has been lovin this rain, but I don't know how much more I can take!
I can't wait to fix up my skate board and hit the streets with my doggy Boomer. He is such a good boy, and he is so smart. I tough him how to shake, and I take him out to the punk shows with me all the time and he hardly ever gets into trouble. But watch out for your beer though, he likes to come up and knock it over so he can drink all the beer.
Such a booze Hound!
Everyone always falls in love with him, he steals the show.
Seriously.
He must really think that everyone is just there to hang out with Boomer, with the way he goes on...
He so proud of himself.
Today I will be piling my car full of smelly Oakland punks and herding them to S.F. to witness the Great Anarchist Bookfair. I wend last year and had a really great time. But I didn't bring NEARLY enough money to buy all the books and patches and stickers that I wanted.
This year, I come prepared. And will keep you posted with photos.
(If they aren't too strict on their no phone policies.)
April first is a day to honor new beginnings, and with that, here I would like to present to you my first set shot in over 2 years.......
Daybreak
Yep! So while you are sitting at your desk in your nice warm home defrosting from the rain, wind, snow, and mud, you are actually only a very few click. click. clicks. away from viewing one of my most adored sets I've gotten to shoot for Suicide Girls thus far.
Hope you will enjoy.
I met up with DarrylDarko, at Rambo's brand new apartment to get a feel for what we were going to shoot. I really wanted to shoot at the tubes, and when I learned how close they were it seemed like a perfect match.
I really like how the comfortable clothes contrasts the gritty industrialism of the atmosphere, making it seem more like a regular outing. Do you get that feeling too?
What do the photos say to you?
Here is a Polaroid that Darryl Darko took that I think speaks for it's self.
And another but with Captain America!
This is a shot from a photo-shoot that I did not to long before "Daybreak" was shoot. I love the fashion designers style, and would work with both of them again.
That is a shot from Creepy KOFY Movietime that was taken off of a persons t.v. set! Ahhahah look ma! I'm on T.V! For all of you CKMT fans, I will be back again next season for more chills, thrills, and spills!
Ok, have a great week!

Aleon Kelidoscope Eyes
Patton Blond Ambition

And how about a little video I shot for SG two years ago back when I had blond hair.
Hugs and kisses to you all! xoxo
I think I blew my eardrum again. This happened once before when I was really really sick. my illness turned into a sinus infection, causing my ears to fill up with fluid and rupturing both eardrums. It was not fun. The worst pain I have ever felt, causing me to go deaf for a week while blood and puss seeped from my ears.
Two nights ago I was at a party in the country. I had my share of drinks already when the hostess asked me to light off some fireworks with her. Not rinky-dink china town poppers, but the real-deal 50fters. Having never done anything like this before, I eagerly load the firework down the tube and light the damn thing on fire.
Not ONLY did I burn the crap out of my thumb but I also put it in backwards, causing it to blow up in the tube, 5 feet away from me. Yikes! Only after did my friend the fireman point out what I had done wrong.
The next one I light off almost really got the best of me. The super insane crazy drunk mountain woman of a hostess had me light the next one off the same time as she did. Assuming that my crappy $.75 cent lighter would agree with me and actually work, I popped the loaded tube down next to hers and tried to light it off. While hers was sputtering out sparks a foot away from my head, I was flicking my lighter away to my impending doom. I dove out of the way just in time as a great shower of green sparks erupted all around me. All I could say was, "I almost blewed my head off."
Next morning aside from a mild hangover, my left ear felt really bad and I could hear it throbbing in my head. The shotgun practice going on outside didn't help much either. And I had to take care my still drunk boyfriend, only for him to repay me by having band practice in the basement last night right under my bed while I was bleeding out of my head trying to recover. I feel a little better today, I am thinking about going to the hospital, but half of me wants to wait it out, having no medical insurance and no way to pay for the visit without going broke. If it gets worse I will just try and them a fake name and see if that works.
Ok no more bad stories, how about some fun?
Did you happen to see this stunning video Shot by Dwam of Key?
And what about this cuteness where Bully introduces you to the little puppy that she saved.
I have been abstaining from everything. I don't Facebook. I don't buy new things. I don't look at fashion magazines. I don't watch TV. I don't talk on the phone or text. I don't even really travel as much as I would like to.
Ah but what I am doing... Contacting lives beyond the grave. Composing a zine. Drinking 40s. Drawing. Building a more sustainable lifestyle. Reading books. Recycling cans. Skating in the "wrong" part of town. Destroying everything. My social life. My future. My "career". (That last one was a joke.)
But the one thing I've noticed, is that when there is nothing, nothing holding you back, then that's when you are free to do anything. And abolish it all after! Ah to the wind. To the Sea. To the earth. Burn it all up I say!
The Fool is my mentor. That's right, the meaning of zero. The everything of nothing. The seeds of something new.
It's blissful and I feel blessed.
Ok. Pictures?
That's Boomer! My BFF
On the here and now. It's fucking 4:30 in the morning, and I swear I'm going to kick my damn boyfriends fucking ass when he walks in the door for stayin out so late.
Ok more updates soon. Now that I'm a full fledged member of the internet and all.
Later Suicide Surfers!

So what is new you guys?
Im writingthis on my new smart phone. Its been so long since I have lived with the internet. I have been.so cut off from the world. It was really making me sad. I had no phone at all for a while. I just couldnt afford it. My dog had to go to the vet, it wasnt an emergency. He is just a lucky guy. Who knows what the owners did to him. He was picked up in the hood, and when I adopted him he was blind in one eye, could hardly walk on one of his back legs, and they mutalated his ears and tail. I knew he badly needed a loving home, and I needed to fix the hole in my heart from missing my cat.
I will be moving at the end of the month, for the fourth time this year. Just as was getting situated. But if you saw the house comared to the little hole I live in...Well it isnt even a matter of thought.
Im waitin on the pizza I ordered and watchin a movie with my boys. Tryin to figure out this new phone.
.Now I just got to figure out how to upload a pic or two and I will be set!
Its really good to be back.
Xoxo
