Last night I cried inconsolably for the first time in a while. And it wasn't for a family member, or a loved one, or even the war in Iraq. No. I cried because I lost an auction for a designer handbag on ebay in the final minute ( Read more... )

It became apparent to my boyfriend and I on our drive home from my parent’s house yesterday, that our lives had become a bad B-rate romantic comedy. The really trite kind, with a sappy soundtrack, outlandish characters and probably a Wilson brother or two. Three long days were spent with my parents to celebrate the holiday. But the memories ( Read more... )

So, another birthday, another livejournal post. This year is different though. Maybe it’s because I’m getting a little older, but for the first time in a really long time, I’m happy. Not happy in that young, free-wheeling, spiraling out of control way either ( Read more... )

so stereogum.com has started a little segment they're calling "inside the rocker's studio" where they ask questions of musicians a la james lipton of "inside the actor's studio". am i the only one that finds this funny? i even took the time to read the wikipedia entry on the background history of this interview style. mostly because it sounds to me ( Read more... )

i could use this time to go on a tirade about how my commute took almost 2 hours this morning. or how i averaged 10 mph the entire time. but i'd rather discuss a freeway phenomenon that i've noticed of late, because well, i find it really funny ( Read more... )

sometimes i find myself worrying about people that i dont even know. people that i haven't even met but just happen to see on a regular basis and have created mental characters for. take for example, Tai Chi Guy. there's this man at my office building complex; your basic californian neo-hippie who was popular circa 1995. i bet he still listens to ( Read more... )

Happy Birthday STEEEEEEEEVE!

Yeah, it's awesome.

A friend of mine once said that in this world there are Doers and there are Sayers. I used to always figure I was a Sayer, being a fairly smooth-talking, but lazy type of girl. I think as I age though, I’m becoming more of a Doer, or at least I've lost my ability to Say. I mean, I can talk about most things until I’m blue in the face, but ask me ( Read more... )

I’m crabby today. Well, to be honest, at first I just figured I was crabby since I woke up mildly annoyed at it being Monday, but the more I thought about it during my stupid, fucking hour-long commute this morning, the more and more convinced I became of my own created mood. So I’m crabby ( Read more... )

this has been a really good week. i could write about this stuff, but pictures do more justice.
