| SHOE SALE! |
[25 Jul 2008|10:11am] |
Continuing on, I present part TWO of my shoe sale...this round includes two pairs of sneakers I barely wore! If you know me personally, you know that parting with my sneakers is like me cutting off a limb, but for the sake of space and new sneakers down the road...
Blue & Grey Nike Hi-Top Dunks, Men's Size: 9 (Fit nicely for me, a women's 10 ) $25 + S&H.     Great Condition, worn a handful of times. Thick cushioning around ankles. Lace them wide to slip on, to tight to skate in! Baby blue laces match the swoosh. Purchased circa 2004, a sweet find for $25 + S&H.

Long time no update -- things have changed a bit...
Job/Living Situation Status - Been on a few interviews, including one at Random House Children's. Crossing fingers...once I have a job, I will indeed have somewhere to live! Laura is leaving Garance's apartment, so I can take her room! I really like Astoria and I want to live with friends, so I am pleased with this development. I wish I had a secure job though, so this end would be in sight. I've been staying with my parents since Sunday (well, not really spending much actual time here but my things have been here) and it's been painful. It's pretty crushing to be here and my summer course is WAY more difficult than it should be (not because of the actual content, which is lame and repetitive but because my parents' computer blows). Blech...want out so badly...
Random Things Happening Status - I hung out with Christina on Tuesday and Heather yesterday (who bought a cat...at random), which was fun. I wish I had more money so I could go away for awhile...Jen randomly asked me to go to Florida for the weekend. She seemed pissed that I couldn't go but even cheaply, it's $400 for one weekend. I don't have $400 for anything...argh, blech argh.
Relationship Status - I'm an idiot. Also, he's an idiot. But I am more of one, for holding out hope and falling for all the bullshit. I am a different, stupider person when we're together and I am pretty disgusted with myself. I want to hide under a rock rather than deal with it.

i was a happy kid. i was an angsty teen. i am a bipolar adult. what the hell happened? haha
i swear i'll have dementia as an elder. =|
eddie izzard this sunday in vegas. i dont have a reliable car to get us there. i think we might have to rent a car....but i dont use the credit card b/c that gets people into trouble....so i think i might have to ask a friend to rent the car and give them cash. yup. *nods*
i spent 900 for repairs. and made a double car payment. being broke is scary. =[
thankfully we get paid tomorrow. from the door shop and two step. (blockbuster is the alternating fridays) im glad its the big payday, ya know? stressing over finances isnt fun at all.
dianne deleted her myspace account last night sometime......i commented on it via text, she's really depressed today. saying she wished she'd disappear, and she's dead, etc. =[
i hope i never become that depressed. i love living, and breathing, i just get moody sometimes, but never want to die...just the opposite.. i want to live forever. there's so much i want to see and know that i wont be able to. murr.
my youngest will be going to kindergarten this year. see???? the years fly by so fast. he's already going to school. then high school, and im sitting in the sidelines just watching it all thinking wow, shit sone, time is flying. and yes, im getting older. eep!!
i need to schedule his boosters as much as he and i are procrastinating. i dont like when the ped gives him shots, i cry. not in front of my son, but when he isnt around. it kills me to see him in pain. aww.....just thinking about it made tears well up in my eyes just now. my poor baby. =[ and he HATES the ped when its shot day. other times he's alright but shot day, that man is the devil himself.
i bought some great literature from amazon about a week ago, maybe two.. from my childhood that i want to share with my children. who remembers the fudge series by Judy Blume and the Ramona series by Beverly Cleary? my husband was commenting that he absolutely LOVED Roald Dahl's books. and commented that the witches and bfg were two of his favorite books as a child. i secretly ordered them and addressed the package to "matt yoder" and they came in the mail he was thrilled that i thought to do that. i noted now he will read, hehe.. (he HATES reading...dyslexia is a bitch) and he can share them with the boys. =D
pee ess the joker was uhhhmazing in the dark knight!

Hong Kong is exploding with tourists right now. Backpacks are on, maps are out. This should be a nuisance but it's a pleasure: I live near a tourist hotel so I see people sallying forth, maybe going out into the city for the first time. At their agog expressions I want to shout, "I KNOW THAT FEELING! And by the way, where are you from 'cause damn, that's an inscrutable ethnicity you're workin' with."
I love HK.
Pegatina, I have penned you an ode.
I long to sip from hersluitbare strip,
and drink sticky Tab from her shoe.
Selbstklebend zum will slip from her lips
as leichten Verschluß will I do.
Yours ever,
Luklit
Rubbed it on. Still flatulent and I think I'm actually more itchy.

I live in a body like that and I won't give you any nonsense about how "looks don't matter", but it's truly heartbreaking to think of whatever you're going through. I sincerely hope it gets better, and please know that as a result of your secret, I will never take my body for granted.

A few months ago I saw a postcard saying "If you're waiting for a sign, this is it. Do it. It will be amazing."
Well I did it...and while I am the most vulnerable I've ever been in my life, I'm also the happiest.
For anyone else: This is your sign.

What was your first internet handle? Mine was (the screamingly embarrassing!) "Vampyress," created in 1994, in Mrs Butterfield's 7th grade computer lab at Albuquerque Academy, where Lily Maase and I would occupy illicit chatrooms that someone, somehow, had showed her how to access. The entertainment value of chatrooms definitely trumped Mrs Butterfield's lab's other charms, including Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing and Life and Death. Our favorite chat was called "UK Surfers," and Vampyress enjoyed looking on as Lily Maase carried on a cyb3r-intensive flirtation with a UK Surfer called "ScrewboyT." "I check my email every day," sighed the twelve-year-old Lily, "If I'm really bored, sometimes every hour." Vampyress was duly impressed.

what a wonderful day.
dark knight at 11am,
by 4 teddy and zach and i were on the way to rhode island
laid on the beach/swam/threw a frisbee
tried to see the dark knight in imax (our excuse was savic hasn't seen it yet) but it was obviously sold out
went to SAKE and gorged ourselves
hung out at Marks and drank a bit
watched sin city with them as well as vinnie and dion and rupar
teddy got pulled over right as we got to my house, i got to watch him take a drunk test from my window. but he wasn't drunk + surprisingly decent cop = no problems.
i can't believe i've been up for so long

I just went to go put on a pair of capris, and discovered that NONE OF THEM FIT ANYMORE. Most of my pants are ridiculously tight now too....
I have gone up two sizes.

As of tomorrow, I am doing things to change this. I've gotten complacent, thinking I don't have to watch my calories anymore. I hate that my weight and appearance means so much to me, but I'm seriously freaking out here. I just can't describe how badly I want to go back to being skinny.

I can throw a real planetary mopedown when I feel like it; this week I felt like it and I threw one down. Couple nights mopin' down in front of a rotting pear I was too inert to pick up off the floor, a couple "Alive???" subject headers in my email inbox, and one verbal admonition, "Answer your phone dumbass and you might find that you are not the only one in dire psychological straits, and what's more you could've come out with us instead of watching a pear rot," and I'm back to normal, though come to think of it, this latter admonisher is the same treacherous "friend" who's been introducing me to ever more exotic brands and flavors of soymilk, possibly imperiling my delicate neurochemical ecology by discouraging my usual daily infusions of new Lower Sugar Vitasoy Malted. Hm! That could be something to bring up in my next session with my rotting pear.
Anyway, the prolonged sloth and solitude gave me plenty of time to ponder these beefs three:
1. Hong Kong McDonald's "green" No Straw Day (the second and fourth Monday of every month) is ludacris. I was denied a straw, but my "for-here" Diet Coke still came with a lid on it, which went into the trash can ere I even reached my seat. How about no "for-here" drinks come with lids, ever, but you can always have a straw? Or would you prefer to drown in a sea of discarded superfluous lids whilst smearing your lipgloss all over the rim of a paper cup? Ridic!
2. I was messing around with an iTunes playlist called "Elyse Sewell's Playlist" when I got an instant message to this effect: "Hi neighbor! =) Just saw your shared iTunes playlist and started listening to it; great tunes so I looked up your name. Just wanted to say hey and I'm listening right now! =)" At the time I thought it was fine; I didn't unshare the playlist even though Backstreet Boys featured, well, maybe not prominently, but did feature, but now I'm paranoid that somebody is somewhere, very close above, below, or on my very floor, fully acquainted with my internet persona (and high-quality playlist!), poised to attempt to strike up a friendship, but I have no idea who it is and no desire to host a neighborly pop-in. I already feel uncomfortable going into and out of my building in various states of malodorous dishevelment as multiple America's Next Top Model enthusiasts have already shown themselves to be present in the building, and have been so bold as to pounce upon me in the elevator to inquire, "Why are you living here [in this shithole]?"
EDIT: I have reconsidered beef #2. It's cool, in fact, that someone picked up my playlist; if I saw a stranger's shared playlist in iTunes I would certainly investigate it. I strike this beef from the record.
3. My hovel is, in fact, pretty much an uninhabitable shithole, and I am speaking as a person who knows how to inhabit the shit out of some shitholes.. The aircon arrhythmically fulminates all night three feet above my head, the rent is steep, I have to turn my body sideways to walk from my bed to the bathroom, the bathroom window is functionally nonexistent, being perpetually miniblinded, revealing as it does in its naked state my bathrooming nudity to the occupants of a neighboring skyscraper, the rotting pear I've thrown away so that problem at least is solved, but oh, I'm glad I wrote this post because the conclusion is now blisteringly obvious: move, idiot! OK, I will!
La vie est belle after all and I have photographic evidence to prove it. Just TRY to resist these nutmeats:
Ice sculptors, preparing to ice sculpt a fashion-show-promoting ice sculpture outdoors in sweltering midsummer South China, much, much, much, some might say "disastrously," some might say "hilariously," too early in the day. I would've taken an "after" picture, but I was too busy stepping over the large pool of water that had appeared in the courtyard by nightfall.
God, all this building evacuation is tiring me out. Shall we stop on the twelfth floor for some nibbles and a fag?
