cheer up ! 
Funny you should mention flowers....I happened to be at he store the other day buying things for dinner, and I decided to buy two bunches of Asiatic Lilys,with the intent on giving them to the girl I am sorta-I-guess-maybe-posibly-i-dunno seeing, (you should have seen me riding with two baguettes and two bunches of flowers sticking out of the fairing on the bike in traffic-hah!)..so's i get back home, she comes over and I give her the flowers,... she tells me she hates flowers! I never in my life would have expected that..hmmm perhaps some childhood trauma? But then again this is coming from the woman who doesn't like mashed potatoes or chocolate. Chocolate?!...what the hell am I going to use as a peace offering when her little friend comes to stay for a week?
And what is this about wanting to be a beautiful interesting girl?....Um, wow, silly me, I must be missing something here , as I believe you already have those atributes in spades m'dear.
Sprint sucks, they are always trying to slam me with extra charges on my bill. I fight them just about every month..If you go Sprint..watch 'em like a hawk.
don't let them put you down...if need be kung-fu their asses, but don't listen to crap from knuckleheads.
Birthday presents?....hmmm. can't go wrong with starting with some socks...yep. socks. A man can't ever have enough clean socks. Ever. I suppose you could make the same argument for toilet paper, but somehow i don't think he'll be too jazzed w/ the mongo pack from Tar-ghay.

you're having a bad day too huh? yep , yep... that's shitty that you've had to feel moody all week- i'm hoping to snap out of my mood at some point myself.
and what are you talking about?!! if you wern't one of these interesting, beautiful people do you think i would have sat here and read your whole journal entry?
well, anyways, i hope you feel better soon-it sounds like you've had quite a week!

It really is a good kind of crazy, I just wish I had a day off or could manage to drag myself out of bed early enough to do some yoga. Making art can be very meditative at times, sometimes it settles the mind and sometimes it stirs the mind. There will be more pics up soon as events unfold.

you're parents sound so awesome! my mom has been incresingly the strongest person i know- my dad passed away about a year and a bit ago, and this past year i've just been like, pretty amazed at how she is getting on with her life at age 55... she's honest about hurting but at the same time she knows that she can still be happy and have a good life. she works really hard though, i swear so much of my inspiration to get through school now is like, the idea of being able to someday really be able to take care of her and make sure she has like, the best twilight years possible 'cause she's just done so so much for me and my sisters... thanks for sharing, it's very heartwarming!

I'm that way about paying bills. Something very pleasant about writing the checks and putting them in envelopes and accumulating a sizeable stack. When possible.

Have you ever seen "gumball poetry"? I forget the URL, but you'll find it if you look it up on google. Your haiku story reminded me of that site, because not only do they publish really neat poetry, but they also have gumball machines around the country that contain this poetry, and you can buy it for 50 cents a poem. I think that's really neat.

took some tylenol pm to ensure that i would at least sleep last night.
which i did, for a/b 10 hours.
but still woke up feeling worse than when i went to bed.
you know that feeling like you're swallowing sandpaper?
and your head is filled w/ that foam insulation that keeps slowly expanding in your cranium?
that's what i've got.
i hate being sick!...

I have three words for you. Echinacea.
But don't you love it when huge dogs jump on you? I was the keeper for a while of a much-loved Irish wolfhound who would leap up and put his forepaws on my shoulders, at which point he would be looking me right in the eye.

i can even stand the smell.
but i cannot stand the sight of the fur being shaved off in thick strips, peeling back off the honeycombed flesh and just alive w/ maggots.
and maggots errupting out of holes in the flesh.

Glad to hear you're coming along nicely.

Love those stream-of-consciousness entries! They tell so much about ... about who you are, in its multiplicity.
I used to be of the opinion that, when my apartment became too dirty, it was time to move. I still am, but there is the matter of the lease.

speaking of dinner, i didnt eat any baba ganouj on your behalf the other night but i did have lots of pita and hommous and some lamb stew. the stew wasnt baaaaad. get it? lambs? sorry, that was incredibly lame and/or corny. tonight i looked at the website for my 10 year high school reunion which is in july and it was kinda surreal. all these people who are just moppy headed memories to me are doing all these crazy and sometimes interesting things. im not going to the reunion, though, because i just dont care enough about any of them to want to interact with them. i mean they might as well stick me in a room with any group of 500 strangers. whats the point?
i really miss you. even though you cant come out to virginia in july, you're not off the hook. my apartment is too cool for you to not come visit. you dont have to come this summer but you have to come before next may. so get this....i was at the beer festival with wrenn where we met up with john etc. anyway, my parents were there. think of how bizarre that is. A) to not have a completly normal/healthy relationship with your parents in the first place. and then to B)see them at a festival dedicated to beer. and the worst part C) to run into your parents when you and your 4 friends are trashed. i did'nt know what to say or do. the first thing my dad said was, "this is the first time i've ever seen my baby girl drink." so i dont know if i've told you that when i hang out with my parents i'm seen as a 16 year old. they dont understand that i live with my boyfriend and i drink like a "frat boy." so it was a very wierd day. i tried really hard to act "normal" but it was'nt working. everything i said my dad corrected me and looked at me like "duh, this is beer and these people are'nt queer's so i wont get used to it."
i'm sorry if i made you look bad on SG, i spend so little time on line. i'll make it up to you and everyone else. so when is the un-official "RAVE ON THE ROCKS?" i cant wait. i love you more than making out in the bathroom of Vinyl.
i have been uber busy
i love it
time to get more lovin
