Alive.
Watching the Flight of the Concords HBO Special.
Gluten free as of Sunday.
Excited to visit my sister and the kids in June (bought my tickets!)
Up too late but at least I can sleep in if I want to.
Sore from the 1 time I fell during my first time attempting to slack-line on Monday.
Taking a one-ish month break from...

I finally found a new doctor and made an appointment after saying I would for a few months now. I found out from a friend from climbing that her mom is a Naturopathic Doctor and gave me her number. I went in on Thursday and I think I'll actually stick with this woman. Although I'll have to get used to her personality, she actually listens,...

Awesome.




I'm finally home and glad to be back. I have my first day of class tomorrow morning. It should be my 2nd day, but I was out of town for the 1st day. Already, I'm expected to write a paper on how good of a writer I think I am, accompanied by an old paper/essay I've written. I haven't written a paper in 2...

Writing an essay on how awesome you are - should be easy right? smile

I am not going to just take off. I suppose I need all the real friends I can get.

So, I leave early Wednesday morning for San Diego. I still need to pack and I have to do it tonight... but I'm being lazy. I had a good day though. It started out with a date in the early afternoon and it went well. He's quite cute with these amazing clear, light blue/green eyes, dark hair, and a good smile... which all get plus...

G on dates - you little devil. Sounds promising so fingers crossed. It's also good that you've had a spark to try your art again, get that creativity flowing.

Many thanks to those of you who wished me a happy birthday biggrin
It turned out to be a pretty good one this year. Lunch and museum with friends, vegan cupcake from my roomie, flowers, card and money from ma', and then my new climbing friends kinda threw me a mini party in one of their basements where we played pool, watched Princess Bride, and tossed...

I would have said happy birthday had I known about it. Visit the Museum of San Diego History.

Glad you had a good birthday. Seems like even though this year started off with a recession, it's treating us Pisces good - so far (Knock on wood).

Your hair s getting wicked long.
That picture of the tree that you were talking about isjust one I found onphotobucket. Ihave TONS of trees. I love em. I cam by your journal to tell you about the trees because you had commented on one that I posted on the chit chat thread a while ago. Anyway- I did a mural at one of the places we rented of a tree that looked similar to the one you like with the spirals. My inspiration was the Tree Of Life by Gustav Klimt. I love his work. I know you were saying you liked his stuff too. He's pretty much the bomb. You should look at a coffee table book of his prints and sketches because he has some pretty crazy stuff that he never finished- just stuff he goofed around on. Amazing shit.
I'm pretty sure if I am not mistaken that the Tree of Life was actually done on 5 panels and specifically made for someones diningroom. I forget what they call that when artists are told to do projects for people for money. Anyway- here is a link to look at that Tree of Life if you are not familiar with it. Tree of Life
When I did my mural at the house that we were renting I made tons of those clear window hangiy things that you paint and put in windows so that the sunlight hits them. I bought really cheapy plastic ones of different animals and things and hung them from the branches of the spiral tree. I used metalic paints and made large magic mushrooms in the grass on both sides of the spiral tree. It was pretty sweet. I used blues and purples in the tree and those paints were metallic too. Most kids loved it and most adults thought i was kind of weird in a home on a random wall. It was 4 houses ago. It was the first place we rented in OR- just your average everyday cookie cutter three bedreeom 2 1/2 bath track home. It kind of was odd looking back in retrospect. I love Spirals and Trees and together- wow. My tattoos on both arms are all twisted spirals called luna waves. My chest piece is the same as my arm cuffs- Spirals that interlink. The pendant is beautiful. I should have my friend take a few pics f my favorite tattoos.
Anyway- if you are looking at tees on photobucket use search criteria such as unique tree or weird tee or interesting tree, bizarre tree, crazy tree, twisted tree, and Spiral tree. You will findsome pretty interesting trees.
Anyway- the cool thing about the one you like is that is not tha difficult to recreate on a small canvas. My friend has a spiral tree on her wall in her livingroom above a switchplate. I want it- I love it.
Last month my mom bought my daughter, Ariana 12" by 12" canvas'. She bought her 12 of them. Ariana is going to do all the astrology signs along with the planetary symbolism. I bought her tons of acrylic paints including tons of metallic ones. I can't wait till she starts painting them. She is going to use certain colors on the fire signs, air, earth and water. The canvas' were super cheap- 40% off each one.

Loe and Light, Ellie

Today, I'm registering at a new Community College. I haven't taken a single college class in 2 years (finished with Winter quarter when I left). I promised my mom I'd get back into school this Spring quarter. My old college is in the opposite direction of where I spend a huge chunk of my days now, it's just out of the way and pointless to...

That's cool. At least you had the chance to visit. I am jealous you were able to travel through Europe. Especially, for so long! shocked

The most annoying holiday of the year turned out alright this year. After work, I decided to go climbing since I missed Friday (one of my usual days) because I had to work. There weren't very many people in the gym but one of my friends that usually climbs Monday, Wednesday, and Friday evenings like me happened to be there. I guess he was making...

^ Christ, my comment won't be as detailed as that ha!

How were the kids? Did you kick them into shape? Kidding...

Yeah I'm good thanks. I would love to report there were lots of interesting developments happening in my life but I really can't think of any. That's bad isn't it? Well I'm happy enough and all is well so that's something. I need some drama in my life though.
batemans:
I agree, if you're tired you carry such a burden throughout the day. Yesterday I was and it makes me more impatient and moody, despite the best efforts of a coffee or two. I'm working a later shift today so I finally managed to catch up on a decent night's sleep. I keep reading before bed and that zonks me out well.

Yes I really did watcha cookery program. I still like sports and watch a lot of tennis, rugby, motor racing, football, etc but I discussed this with two of my mates and they both watched things they never used to consider watching. Our generation is getting old ha. I'm still the same me but I'm a tiny bit more relaxed and mature in some areas - which is natural, we all evolve.

My blogs will still be filled with music and women though - I haven't changed that much tongue

Two chiropractor appointments later, my neck's feeling better. I fortunately had an appointment made before either of the whiplash incidents. Tuesday was the first one and I felt better after the adjustment, but in the evening as I was cutting veggies, I started feeling slightly lightheaded. Sat down on my kitchen floor for a minute, wondered if I should wake up my roomie or call...

Hey, you're feeling better I hope. After your appointment & all smile

Yeah I'm back and it's a little weird. I don't think I'll stay beyond the 3 months but you never know.

I didn't get any Valentines either. Actually I have a history of relationships breaking up just before V Day so I really don't like it much!

A week later, my neck is yet again sore. This time I actually know why. Whiplash from falling about 9 feet is no fun. Rockclimbing is killing me, but I still love it. I've been working on a particular bouldering route (no ropes) for 6 days now. I'm making progress each time, but it's kicking my ass. On Friday evening, I decided to try it...

Haha! At least that solves the mystery of the account fairy. That is odd.....you think that SG is trying to bring back more people? Maybe get them sucked back into the SG life?
bleeder:
I agree. I remember ALL the way back to when we first started talking. That was when I was still into the supernatural aspects of life. Not sure what happened with that.
