I feel like such a slacker, not a day goes by that someone doesn't ask the question, "Oh Krystal, you're so bright - Why aren't you in school?" A lot of reasons I guess, Im mega indecisive for one. There are at least 3 fields of study I'd like to pursue on the academic level. Then there's Cosmetology school which I dig because I could go to school and keep my job and still have time to hang out with the Drake-man plus the Paul Mitchell school is so close our current house. I dont even see the purpose in starting school at the moment when we're supposed to be in Austin in March at the latest. [Note to self: that's still 5 months away,3 if we utilize our income tax money]
As much as school is one of my TOP priorities I have others that just can't take the backseat at the moment.
Like Drake man and providing for him; which means having a full time job.
The day school we'd like to send him to is really expensive but the curriculum is fantastic and it will insure that he's reading by the time he's 4. Not to brag about my kid but he has about 3/4 of the alphabet down and can usually count to 22 if he's in a good mood. Right now the numbers 15-16-17-18 bring him a lot of joy for some reason, you can hear him singing the number sequence around the house.
Speaking of that little shit, he's been so horrible as of late. He throws himself on the floor when he can't articulate his thoughts. He gestures and has a most serious look his face while doing so, he looks just like his Dad. While it unnerves me to see my kid act like a hellion I can't help but laugh, only resulting in him being more pissed off by my amusement. Two brats spawned a little smart ass brat, who would have guessed it?
As far as poundage goes next month is my Weight Loss Birthday. I started dieting in November of last year and Ive since lost 70 lbs, that figure is so shocking. It changed my whole outlook on myself and sometimes I think it wasn't in a completely positive manner. I tell myself that all girls obsess about their weight/bodies and we all have 'target areas' and goals.But I think it would be a good idea to move the scale out of my room and probably stop baking cookies for the boys all the time. Im at 128lbs,sz27/28 jeans or 4-5, my goal is 115[or 110] at this point its all toning and like we've established earlier, I'm a slacker. Good news is, my tits are back! Smaller, but they're back. They had been reduced to mere A cups during my diet;sad. Portion control, tons of water and exercise, and will power are the name of the game 'til I reach my goal. It feels so aberrant that I was once stressing to fit into XL's and now I'm lucky to find Smalls that fit correctly. Dare I even admit that Ive been purchasing[see;Spending excessively] XS's on ye 'olde ebays, which brings me to my next subject...
Last weeks financial woes kept us from going to Austin this past weekend, although we were there Wednesday for The Avengers/Pansy Division show at Red 7. I keep missing hangouts with some of the FEW people from the valley I actually wouldn't mind seeing.
Ili- Sorry I missed your Burlesque performance; I seriously felt like shit for it.
Then Selina, my quasi-little sister, & Lori my fellow Super Mom were in Austin and I couldn't see them Wahfest, man.
I have a need deep in my loins to travel away from this great state via car or railway. I grow tiresome of it and seeing as how Ive never been anywhere else Id love to broaden my horizons and see new sites. Ben, where is our copy of 'On the Road'? I looked everywhere, aka: I didnt look anywhere;find it for me.
More voyages, more journeys in search of nothing in particular, more FUN!
This big city I live in seems so over shadowed by a music mecca that's only an hour away. Ive gathered, that it's made this city's habitants grumpy/jaded due musical inferiority causing a complex or two. I'm not trying to trump or out-punk you when I bring up a band you haven't heard yet, bozos!
Why do some people just stop getting into newer music?
I won't ever allow my musical taste to be stunted or pigeon holed, but thats me. Most San Antonians don't follow suit, water-bears.
Dear Commie China,
Stop with the Led tainted children's toys already. We've had to throw 1/3 of Drakes toys away just because we're [overly]cautious parents. Everything we own says 'made in china'. Red bastards!
I dyed my hair a series of red colors because I was tired of retouching my roots every 2-3 weeks.
While it looks awesome and suits my skin tone Ill undoubtedly be back to blond by December, me thinks.
I'm waiting for the current red to fade back to strawberry blond which is my natural hair color; once again I'm too indecisive for my own good sometimes. I also finally got around to getting my Hello Cthulhu tattoo finally, nothing like mixing the world cutest most innocent image [Hello Kitty] with one of Lovecraft's most horrific characters [Cthulhu]. I'll post some pictures when it's better healed we're still a little flaky.
This is what size 28 fits like. Hella big at the waist, not so big at the seat/hips area.
Hair update, before I decided to become a crimson headed hussy. This is the longest it's been in a few years the goal is to get it to cover my boobs. My hairdresser said it was impossible, I think she's a lying bitch who wants to see me as much as possible. Who doesn't, right?
Excuse the shitty image quality here my batteries we're a-dyin'
I liked that red hue so much, so much I felt the need to re-dye it - Im a moron.
You can see my new tattoo there <3
Check out Drake snaking my computer, notice we have the same haircut & my one of my new teenie dresses
Don't you just love the black eye Drake gave me? Boy do I miss my white hair.

The Put Downs
Ready Steady Go #2 was an even bigger success than the 1st.
My only quip is with the old dudes, Don't get me wrong I love old dudes..
but guys, please don't just stand there in a semi circle while all the ladies dance.
We can almost feel your leering eyes and while I don't care too much thanks to my good
friend alcohol it would be nice to have a crowded dance floor.
This is what Id rather be thumbing through instead of countless immigration documents.
