dear dog walkers,

I can believe things that are true and things that aren't true
and I can believe things where nobody knows if they're true or not.
I can believe in Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny and the Beatles
and Marilyn Monroe and Elvis and Mister Ed. Listen - I believe that
people are perfectible, that knowledge is infinite, that the world is run
by secret banking cartels and is visited by aliens on a regular basis,
nice ones that look like wrinkled lemurs and bad ones who mutilate
cattle and want our water and our women.I believe that the future
sucks and I believe that the future rocks and I believe that one day
White Buffalo Woman is going to come back and kick everyone's ass.
I believe that all men are just overgrown boys with deep problems
communicating and that the decline in good sex in America is
coincident with the decline in drive-in movie theaters from state
to state.I believe that all politicians are unprincipled crooks and I
still believe that they are better than the alternative. I believe that
California is going to sink into the sea when the big one comes,
while Florida is going to dissolve into madness and alligators and
toxic waste.I believe that antibacterial soap is destroying our
resistance to dirt and disease so that one day we'll all be wiped out
by the common cold like martians in War of the Worlds.I believe that
the greatest poets of the last century were Edith Sitwell and Don
Marquis, that jade is dried dragon sperm, and that thousands of years
ago in a former life I was a one-armed Siberian shaman.I believe that
mankind's destiny lies in the stars. I believe that candy really did taste
better when I was a kid, that it's aerodynamically impossible for a
bumble bee to fly, that light is a wave and a particle, that there's a cat
in a box somewhere who's alive and dead at the same time (although
if they don't ever open the box to feed it it'll eventually just be two
different kinds of dead), and that there are stars in the universe billions
of years older than the universe itself. I believe in a personal god who
cares about me and worries and oversees everything I do. I believe in
an impersonal god who set the universe in motion and went off to hang
with her girlfriends and doesn't even know that I'm alive. I believe in an
empty and godless universe of causal chaos, background noise, and
sheer blind luck. I believe that anyone who says sex is overrated just
hasn't done it properly. I believe that anyone who claims to know what's
going on will lie about the little things too. I believe in absolute honesty and
sensible social lies. I believe in a woman's right to choose, a baby's right
to live, that while all human life is sacred there's nothing wrong with the
death penalty if you can trust the legal system implicitly, and that no one
but a moron would ever trust the legal system.I believe that life is a game,
that life is a cruel joke, and that life is what happens when you're alive and
that you might as well lie back and enjoy it

I think Ive just fallen in love with Sin Fang Bous and Seabear.
end.

 I woke up this morning at about 10am, and had to figure out where I was. I went through about three or four place in my mind (a couple of which were places that I was dreaming about) and finally figured out that I was in my own bed. 
I had very intense, real dreams last night too. They were quite intense and a little unsettling. 
I have a feeling that today may be a strange, strange day. 

i did it!
im proud.

now im supposed to reward myself.




what should i do?

so i may have had the worst birthday ever this year. during the day anyway. but it ended well. lets evaluate:

- had to wake up early for staff meeting
- woke up in a strange/bad mood because of events from previous night
- awful body aches and things of that sort
+ it was warm and beautiful outside
+ won $30 for donating $5 to the united way
+ picked up my pay check
- walked everywhere and sweated (is that a word? if it is, i dont like it) my ass off
+ researched at library with sarah
- bugged allisons boyfriend like an annoying creeper so i could get a translation of a word by yesterday for my tattoo!
- intricate decor is closed on mondays
1/2 + called heritage and theyre open
- walked all the way back home to get the card that my grandma gave me because i wanted to use her handwriting for the tattoo
- couldnt find a ride there because it was so hot and i didnt know if i would make it to class on time
1/2 - all of my roommates didnt tell me happy birthday
+ finally get a ride
- as im talking to the girl at the front desk, in my mid-sentence she answers her cell phone
- she tells the dude what i want instead of letting me talk to him
- walks out 30 seconds later with a piece of shit drawing with an error in it
- i walked into his room/office thing and tell him to fix it
- he attempts to fix it and makes it even more awful
- i look at it and say "i dont want that, it looks like shit" and walk out
- so then i start crying after i leave because getting that tattoo meant a lot to me, im emtionally attached to what it means, and i wanted to get it on my birthday.
- the fact that these people blow off a customer is fuckin ridiculous whether or not he actually wanted to the tattoo. its an awful way to run a business
+ got my free sub from subway
+ got to see sarah and she cheered me up
- go to class and get my exam back. ew. didnt fail but it was not impressive
- had to stay in class the whole time while falling asleep cause i was so tired
- call brandon cause i wanted to get my one free drink at the bird for bday times, but he was too busy or something, so i sulked home. haha
+ they changed their minds, picked me up and we went to the bird
+ got my free beer and we had an enormous feast
+ shannon gave me a snickers bar
+ ran into lots of people i know = free birthday drinks
+/- got way drunk without intention
+ played drinking rock paper scissors with 5 beers between 4 people ..
- .. very fast
+ went home to give friends more shots
+ roommates hung for drunken birthday times
+ went to the beach and went swimming
+ thought the cops were going to eat our souls and we freaked out, but it wasnt the po-pos heh
- got about 10 effin mosquito bites.
+ frank called me from yelle and i could actually hear it and it was wonderful !!!
- went to bed at 3 am and was restless all night cause i thought i wasnt going to wake up for class this morning
+ unexpectedly got reaaal drunk and had a fun night to cheer me up

ok, so it sucked a little more than it didnt but at least it ended well.
and i got to go to intricate decor today to get my tattoo and the chick did a really good job. im happy with it and she wasnt a dumb asshole cunt. :D

BUT i am currently not studying for an exam i will quite possibly fail. maow. i should get on that.

dear diary,

Sarah played Suzanne by Wezer for me yesterday at the Bird.
I took a shower, washed my hair twice, and it still smells like smoke. blech.

I get to be back in mt pleasant soon !!! (yay)

So im home all week just for "fun" .. we'll see how that goes.
Dont get me wrong, i love my family (most of them) and i get to see friends i never see but being here for a whole week might kill me.
But I did get to finish yet ANOTHER book while ive been here, so thats good. Now I can start on my 2 dolla Fellowship of the Ring book. [yay hobbits!!]


I might be able to go to the Tigers game tonight if it decides to not rain. Which is mostly unlikely but I can still be hopeful til 5 or 6.
And I get another tattoo on Friday with my whole damn family. So that will be pretty sweet.
Then, on Saturday, I get to finally enjoy the Gratiot cruise instead of hating it because Im finally not working anywhere on Gratiot or trying to get to one of my dance recitals. woo!


I finally-ish got into it with my crazy step mom. It wasnt that big of a scene but it made me really upset and made me realize what a crazy child she really is. But enough of that.

OOH! MSI tickets are in the near future for me !!!!!!!! I just need to figure out rides and things and my sweet ass will be there. me = excited :D Hopefully ill get to see Craig and Jen, and Brandon too.



Soo .. if anyone decides to be (or is already) around the warren/eastpointe [cause ill mostly be at my moms] or scs area within the next week, let me know and we can do fun things.

i will miss you. dearly.

love,
your favorite gelfling.
