what am i to you
Today I drove to work while trying to visualize and comprehend the various possible shapes of our universe.
The power was off in our apartment building when I woke up this morning. I quickly realized that I don't know what to do when I don't have electricity. I can't listen to music. I can't make my smoothies. I can't watch Tv. Can't listen to NPR. Check my Email. whaaaa????
What's a girl to do?
Plus, our apartment is really creepy without lighting. Well, not our actual apartment, but the apartment building....couldn't take the elevator, and i realized I didn't even know where the staircase was (well, now i know, in case there's a fire! that's the upside!)...staircase was sinister, only glowsticks thrown down on the ground lit the way. imagined someone lurking in a dark corner getting ready to grab.
Went to a much needed gym class today.
Ugh. I'm totally breaking out and it sucks. No more BC. Hormones are out of wack. Annoying.
I bought tickets to a concert this Friday night. Matt from work invited me, and I was like, "yeah! why not???". It's at the Hollywood Palladium. Dj Kaskade - supposedly pretty renowned in his genre? House music? Matt made me a mix of his music...isn't that the sweetest thing? I think so. So I'm going to listen to it and prep my house-dancing moves. I plan to have one giant night of a dance party :)
And I submitted my "get-on-the-bus!" form (well, it's not actually called that, but it's basically what it was) for my Baja-Mexico Epic Bus Adventure trip that I'm going to take early November with Beccah Frasier. Yay! It's exactly what I need I think. It just might be the cheapest and Best vacation ever. haha. Because I'm friends w/ Beccah and she's friends with them they're only charging me the ridiculous price of $25 for the trip (so basically i'm only covering my costs of food)....i feel like i should donate more, i think i will.
But yeah! ummmm it's going to be splendid. and an adventure. and i'm going to buy myself a new camera before i go.

I'm going on their 4-day BeachFest trip where they pick you up in San Diego and then you bus it and camp out on the beaches of the Sea of Cortez for a couple of days....awww....the life.
I want to meet interesting people. and be dirty. and do nothing. and have good conversations. and be in nature. and breathe.
and do something for myself.
It's my Friday night!
I've enjoyed staying in this week. The past couple of weeks I was so out and about and socializing every single night....every waking moment i wasn't working....this week it's been nice, i was like, "stop," and i'm just staying in and reading and listening to my npr and browsing feministing...and it's good. Taking it down a notch.
And I've decided that audiobooks are now going to be my thing. Not that I don't want to read the old fashioned way too...but i can listen to audiobooks in the car (instead of listening to my trashy radio music, that is basically the same 10 songs repeating in various patterns). I drive a minimum of about an hour a day. That's a lot of life passing by. Imagine how much I could learn??? Ooo, I'm going to browse itunes and think about what I should buy next. I want to learn about really random and marvelous things.
I love how I can now tell people about how parsitic wasps reproduce (thanks to Radio Lab and thanks to Junko).
I love random knowledge!!!
Sara and I picked out the pictures we want to use for our Match.com profiles. oh god.
I told my theory on people and how they look. Some people look consistently the same. They look consistently good. Or i guess, consistently not? Other people have a spectrum. I feel like I have a wide spectrum...from looking really bad to really good (um, that sounds so haha arrogant, but you know what i mean!?). This was a pointless story. But don't you think that's true about people? Some people have a narrow spectrum...and some people have really wide ones. I think I can look really horrible sometimes. And sometimes I'm like, "yeah! I look good!" it's probably because i wear make-up. exaggerates the differences. It takes a lot of work for me. ha.
okay. bed.
Halloween costume? I need to get on that.
I'm thinking Ugly Betty?
But Halloween (especially in LA) is all about being sexy this or sexy that....and that's kind of fun too.....
you know, in a self indulgent i don't mind using Halloween as an excuse to fulfill my desire to dress like a woman of the night kinda way
but Ugly Betty would be funnier.
hmmm.....and sexy ugly Betty doesn't make sense. haha. or does it? I wonder if I could make that work?
if i could pull that off, it would be genius.
