Jesus.
Just found out one of my very good friends has cancer. Stage 2 Hodgkins Lymphoma to be exact. Apparently, its a "good" cancer (easily treatable), but I haven't decided if she's just telling me that to make me feel better. I honestly don't know what to say. I'm a big believer in "everything is a lesson" but it's a harder pill to swallow when it applies to someone you love. Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. Fuck.
Edit: SO I have been mulling over the news all afternoon, and discovered something. Michelle (friend, above) and I met while working together - she actually trained me. I worked at said company for several years, where Michelle and I eventually wound up in the same department. The dept. we worked in had very little turn over, so we were all this tight knit group of about 10. This was a little over 5 years ago. Since then...
Michelle, 31 - cancer
Keri, 24 - cancer, died last year
Baseem, 26 - cancer
Theresa, 36 - cancer
Stephanie, 24 - Lupus
Ashley, 31 - Lupus
Summer, 25 - left because of undisclosed medical issues.
And then of course, my health problems. Does anyone else think that's a little too coincidental? Or am I nuts? I mean these are young people. I don't even know what to make of it.

- Still not feeling great. Same old shit. Moving on...
- Are you watching Meadowlands? Because you really should be.
- I'm currently working on "Katie's Underground Railroad"... an escape plan for my little sister to get away from her controlling, dipshit boyfriend and out of Arizona for good.
- There's this place down the street from my house that has the best carrot cake on the planet. I've had like 4 pieces this week. I don't feel bad because I've lost another 5 pounds. I feel like the incredibly shrinking woman. Don't congratulate me. It's not weight I've been trying to lose. At least I'm eating... even if it is carrot cake.
- Someone has been posting poetry of a sexual nature anonymously in one of my blogs. I think I have a stalker. Again.
- I also walked down to my favorite St. Vincent's today and hit the jackpot! I got a pair of BRAND NEW vintage 50's shoes - never worn, deadstock, tags still attached. 2 bucks. Score! I also got a fabulous pair of Jill Stuart jeans that make my butt look super cute.
- I got one of those spammy email reminders from Classmates, so I trolled around a little bit on there today. Looking at those pictures really made me feel better about myself. Is that wrong?

Carrot cake kisses,

I had a nice long walk today. Didn't walk anywhere specific, didn't even bring my camera, just put on my headphones and walked. It was a gorgeous day and it felt really good. I want a shirt that says "keep on truckin'".
Ahhh... nothing like inhaling paint fumes all day. *cough cough* Having paint dust in your eyelashes is a strange sensation. I wish I had something cool to show for it, but because it rained all day, today's shoot was put off in favor of getting crap done around the house, including painting the radiators. Tomorrow, if it rains... I spackle! I have several projects for the shop I should finish, but I've been lacking inspiration. I guess my mind has been otherwise preoccupied.
Also, to clear things up, I am not the Japanese porn star licking the melon in the last entry. But I'm flattered and oddly turned on by the fact that some people thought it was me.

Ignore my last post. The picture didn't work and its not worth reposting.

I just got my largest Etsy sale to date! I'm beyond fucking stoked. It will go into my Chicago-trip fund. The Universe is bringing 'round some interesting shit these days.

In the spirit of avoidance I bring you this:
I am not a celeb worshiper by any means, but I present you with this picture...
It's Kim Stewart (celebutard friend of Paris and daughter of Rod Stewart). Aside from her just existing, can you tell me what's wrong with the picture?
