The year started out with my trip to Tromadance, a film fest that Troma holds in Park city during Sundance. I met so many wonderful people and had so much fun! That's where I met the POW people because they were performing at our festival. I also met the rockin Rusty Nails, an indie director from Chicago. When I got home I ran into a bunch of cash and went to Mardi Gras. At Mardi Gras I fell in love with a manchild who I took on a three week journey around the US because I knew the war was about to start and I wanted to see my little brother whos in the army in case he was going to be sent to fight. When I got back my car died, I was evicted from my apartment, and the manchild I was in love with dumped me all on the same day. I hung out in Chitown for about a month then met JBOT and spent a week on tour with him. In early July I went to San Francisco to visit him for a week and see my other SF friend Joni, the coolest girl in the world. From SF I went up to Portland, OR to visit my POW friend that I met at Tromadance, Knotty Klown, a clown pornographer. I was supposed to be there for 2 weeks and ended up living there for almost 2 months. I liked it so much and love my friend Abraham so much that I plan on moving there as soon as I can save up some cash. During my time in PO I met a nice guy named Zorn and we took a vacation from my vacation for a 2 week camping trip around Colorado and Utah. The idea was that we were going to show up at Hunter S Thompson's house and interview him. We got to his house, but couldn't get in. I was hospitalized in Grandby, CO for that new flu that everyone is getting this year. I almost died. When I got back to PO I did my SG shoot with the wonderful Siren. I met the Suicide Girls in 2002 when I was on the Warped Tour with Troma and we shot a movie with some of the girls called 4 days in Panties (Katie was the lead). I figured since I was in PO I would have Siren shoot me and join the SG team! I finally left PO on Sept. 10th via Greyhound (the only way I travel since my car died). I got back to Chitown Sept. 13th and spent two months here, I had pnemonia for 5 of those weeks. As soon as I got better I got an offer to go to LA and be in Dave Grohl and Lemmy's new band Probot's music video with all the other Suicide Girls. It was spectacular! I was only supposed to be gone for 3 days in LA but I ran into a friend Tim "Torture King" Cridland, a sideshow performer, and he kidnapped me for two weeks and took me to SF for a show where I got to see Joni again (Yay!) and then to Vegas. I got back at the end of November. I was sick again for two weeks then went to Detroit to see my fam and just got back on the 29th. Now here I am typing on my laptop in Chicago remenicing about the crazy year I have just had and what the 20th anniversary of 1984 has in store for me. On the plate so far: I'm going to Tromadance again where a movie I was in, Tales From the Crapper, is premeiring, then on to Mardi Gras, and there's a slight chance that I'm going to Argentina with the Torture King to be on Argentinian television. I also plan to visit or hopefully move to Portland and I have a trip planned for early summer to accompany my friend Miriam who grew up in Cairo to Amsterdam, Istanbul, Cairo, and Geiza for a month. 2004 looks like it might be as fun as 2003, I hope it is. So that's been my interesting year, so much has happened (most of which I can't put in this journal). It has been amazing and heartbreaking. I have fallen in love, had my heart broken, and had many others fall in love with me. Well goodbye 2003, hello 2004.
