The 613 Kinds of Sadness by Brod D.

The following encyclopedia of sadness was found on the body of Brod D. The original 613 sadnesses, written in her diary, corresponded to the 613 commandments of our (not their) Torah. Shown below is what was salvageable after Brod was recovered. (Her diary’s wet pages printed the sadnesses onto her body. Only a small fraction [55] were legible. the other 558 sadnesses are lost forever, and it is hoped that, without knowing what they are, no one will have to experience them.) The diary from which they came was never found.

Last weekend was amazing. Saturday was Lanea and Travis' wedding. So wonderful. And getting to hang out with Kim, made it even better! Dive bar after the reception? Hell yes.. Walking in to find my boyfriend there with some of his friends... was great! And Sunday Marco and I had our date day, and drove the hour out to my old town, so I could take him to see Transformers on a REAL IMAX screen.. We ran into my Livermore crew (gosh I miss them) and had Indian food at my favorite place. Then went back to his place to watch the original Transformers cartoon movie.

<3

<3

but you are just oh so cute. :)

I wasted too much on you. Yeah... You.

Edit.

I realize this was very vague and seems pretty angry.. and really it wasn't meant to be that way. Also, if it clarifies anything.. it's directed towards a part of me. Incoming bluntly honest moment. I've been working very hard on my D.I.D. the past few months. (okay, the last 3.5 years off of meds, out of the hospitals) And I've taken leaps and bounds since moving back home.. and I'm letting go of some of the anger/emotions that keep pulling me back inside myself.

I need to start a journal just for that stuff i think. keep it out of here. sigh.

aaaand edit done..

Started rehearsing for The Good News (by Jon Tracy) for Darkroom, and it's fantastic. I'm so lucky to again be working with such an amazing cast to put together a great show. I hope you all can come out and see it. (Fri and Saturday nights, April 24th-May 9th at the Fetterly in Vallejo)

Long Beach was amazing, the wedding was great, and now that I'm back home.. I wanna return to Long Beach! I always forget how much i love it there. Plus working in the East Bay still connects me to these damn East Bay allergies, that put me on my deathbed every Spring. I never had them so bad until I moved out here!

I have next Fri off of rehearsals and am collecting people to go drink. Got a few that are down. I'll make more reminders elsewhere, but anyone is invited. I just wanna get out with friends since it's my night off of the dark, morbid and beautiful world that is The Good News.

So life, is going well. I'm having a lot of fun. I've seemed to surround myself with people that are fun to be with, that laugh a lot and can hold a conversation. I can hardly believe it. Me, the girl that is so shy with new people.

Still working in Danville.. still... doing the Office Manager thing. I feel like a grown up since I bought my Fastrak and can get home to Fairfield faster, and easier now. Living at home is great, I was nervous at first, since I moved out in such difficult time... But the room is SO much bigger then the room I had with the boys in Dublin, and I eat better, and getting healthier (lost some of that weight I was just piling on! thank goodness!) and I've cut back on soda (it's still in my life, totally has to be, but i'm down to only a few sodas a day, not hella)

Rats in the Alley, every tuesday. I forgot how much fun it was, how much I love my friends there. I take my cousin Charlie, and my brother, and his friends (actually my brothers friend drives so we can all drink beer) we sing karaoke, we join games sometimes, we chat, we laugh, we throw out more suggestions then they can use sometimes.

I go to San Jose and hang out with Ben, which is great after that year of not going. I am actually going to his show tomorrow night. I've been to a few and totally fell back into the position of merch girl/roadie/chick that knows all the words.

I paint, a lot. I'm working at least 3 nights a week on one project or another, not quite done with anything since the zombie painting but it's such a release. I read way too much. Just finished 1984. Now I'm back to (and in the middle of) Get Happy. The Life of Judy Garland.

sigh. I think that's all. My coworker is explaining some comic book thing so I better go. <3 y'all

oh p.s. if you haven't yet you should check out my art blog. It's full of cool stuff to look at! http://anglesandall.blogspot.com/

p.p.s. I'm going to Long Beach March 21-29th for my cousin's wedding. I am so excited you don't even know! YAY
