just awesome.

sorry loring, i had to steal this.

my heart.

hair is frizzed and some poorly documented art.

housh-monster

Housh, as my coworker would put it, lived the dream this weekend. Yesterday, my new friend Brandon and I took the Housh-Monster on a two hr walk. Today, the dog and I happened to make it to the very end of K9-Carnival. It was pretty lame. Housh, on the other hand, took advantage of the event and sniffed every butt-hole that passed by.

As requested by Ruth, I posted a picture of Housh.

hey sean, check this post out!

what a lucky girl.

a couple more.

Hit it big this weekend. Scored some New York Times Magazines from back in the day. Three for a dollar, can't beat that. I also picked up a book filled w/grand photos of canaries. Some of the canaries that graced the pages looked as if they were wearing little toupees. This excited me very much.

I've spent the past few day meticulously cutting up my material and half-haphazardly arranging them into unfinished collages. The two above are finished. I have one more, but it is need of gluing. And I'm in need of wax paper.

Started Starbucks yesterday. The people seem extremely nice. Hopefully they stay that way.

on the start of something good.

I got axed from my previous job. Messed up a transaction and some bullshit like that. Waiting around for my new one to start. Starbucks. Surprise. And possibly a second one at a used book store. Thus, leaving very few hours to work on my art. Since I am unemployed for the day and had a kick of motivation, I made a collage. The tape is still stuck on it b/c I'm too lazy to add adhesive. I like it.

saturday evening

i kinda want to throw my beer in a paper bag, walk down to the park, and feed the fishes.

i'll get busted. it is one of those parks w/families and shit. i'll hurry up and drink this one and go.

Who are you, Polly Maggoo?

may flowers.

funny, i started taking vitamins and it has totally boosted my mood. i still get sad and especially anxious, but now that i have some sort of routine i feel more stable.

my sister's boyfriend is home for the week and has been driving her around which has opened up a lot more time to work on art [last couple of weeks have been devoted to me and ruth's art exchange]. been to the park twice this weekend to feed the fish/turtles/birds and read a little. went to yellow springs last week [a hippie town north of dayton] and really enjoyed myself. bought a few things, ate a sandwich, drank two lattes [not at once]. and i visited a cute guy who owns a little boutique which he does all the designs and screenprinting in the back. his six year old son was taking a nap while we chatted. so, i assumed he was unavailable.

i've been making it a pt. to get out and soak up some rays and the chatter of others. it helps a lot. i just have to push myself to do it b/c i forget very easily how much i need it.

my scanner is up and running. how fun.

"2 girls building a train track?"

a new little bugger. the other one didn't make it.

a maker of things since i've moved back to ohio.

this birthday blows

i went over to my parents house and ate cabbage.
and when i got home my sister huffed and puffed at me when i tried talking to her.
p.s. i moved back to ohio. what the fuck was i thinking?

i'm undecided about you, again.

Just when I thought I had my mind made up.

omg

It was great. Till Tuesday.

why am i so sluggish?

Took a walk downtown w/Donna. Taught an after school art program w/Donna. Went to spinning w/out Donna. Took a bath. It sounds exciting yet I'm so sluggish.

Maybe it has been forced b/c I don't want to fill out another damn application. Not like I filled out many to begin with. Maybe its b/c I'm dehydrated. Phoenix is becoming increasingly hotter. Or maybe it's b/c I'm nervous about the one interview I do have tomorrow and/or the coffee date w/a boy following it.

sex in exchange for internet.

Me: i have new neighbors. i steal their internet.
Friend: nice. hopefully they wont catch you
Me: yeah i know. bastards. i have to hear them have sex. so i deserve internet.
Friend: ew

Friend: lol you should tell them that
Me: well that's if they catch me.
Friend: right
Me: we have an unspoken deal
Friend: lol
Me: yes. and when they cut me off. i will bang the ceiling w/the broom.
Friend: "hey fuckers"
Me: stop ur fucking
Friend: lol
Me: hahaha
Friend: or give me your internets back
Me: LOL

riding bikes, drinking beer, and kicking pigeons.

I called my mother this afternoon. She passed off the call to my father. My father asked me what I have been doing w/my free time. I told him that I kill time by riding bikes, drinking beer, and kicking pigeons.

This is how my father replied: "Don't expect me to bail you out of jail for kicking pigeons."

I said: "I won't. I'll ask grandpa."

I honestly believe that my father thinks I've been kicking pigeons.

fucked you are

That's right folks, The Republic has been hit w/furlough [a.k.a. forced, unpaid personal days]. Unfortunately, I will no longer be working for the paper after this week so I will not be able to partake in the festivities.

On a brighter note, no Spanish men in my bed. Whoa!!!

Jarvis Cocker saves the day!

there has been a Spanish man occupying my bed

He has been in it for an entire week. I met him at the coffee shop. He noticed that I’d been filling out job applications and offered to pay me 80 dollars to stay at my place for the week. I said no over and over, but he persisted. I finally caved and he followed me back home.

Things were cool at first. He would cook me dinner and we would watch movies. We even cuddled. But after the third day I was ready for him to leave. I had been sleeping at donna’s [she was visiting family and friends in the east] and was more than ready to have my space back. He would arrive in the evening and leave in the morning, but it was still too much. He was over critical, very particular, and wouldn’t tell me why he had spent the past 3 months traveling the west coast.

He is gone now and I am very happy.
