so my dad has this car. it's a 1981 L-82 silver corvette with navy blue interior. automatic, for those of you wondering. and if you're going to start bitching about how it should only be a manual to be worth it, i'm going to find you and punch you. this car is beautiful, yup. he always said i could drive it, but i never did - i was always afraid of how it'd steer, how low it was to the ground, that i'd get in some inexplicable wreck - something like that. i've even stayed home from plans since he took the blazer unexpectedly and i wouldn't drive the 'vette to go to where he was to switch cars. this morning, my dad took the blazer to work. this morning, about five minutes ago, i finished my first drive in that corvette. and let me tell you, it was fucking beautiful to cruise around in that car listening to my new order CD. fucking beautiful. for some reason, the lake i live near never looked so inviting and calm. it even made the sun look shinier, by god. it handled wonderfully. i didn't ram the nose of the car into something even though i couldn't really see it. perfect parking job. perfect way to start the car. perfect way to start the day. and then i have a great weekend coming up - you cannot wipe the smile off of my face. i can't wait to tell my dad. he'll laugh at me, but in that cute, dad way. ...i guess i really wanted those cocoa puffs.
i went to the grocery store, heh. |

so i guess my weird obsession with columbia [ she's the one on the right side, for those of you in the dark ] from the rocky horror picture show is becoming strangely justified - because the way things are working out, if becky doesn't get in touch with the cast soon, i'll be doing the part of columbia for the fermi lab [ uh, well, if you're close to batavia, illinois, show up... o_o ] and music box theatre halloween rocky horror shows. pain in the butt part : i need to find the money to finish the costume. most of it shouldn't be too hard -
at least i have the time for this... of course, i have to learn all of her parts, too, but i have enough time and enough of a nonexistance of a life. yeup. anyone who wants to help me practice is MORE than welcome to come over and help. otherwise it's me and my dvd player going for broke. next saturday we have practice at david's place in chicago since his apt. apparently has a place in the basement big enough for us to practice. odd, but cool. 7 pm. i know i'll be there, natch. i need as much practice as possible. at least i'm not doing floorshow columbia. augh. so yeah. since i'm doing so much damn work for this [ not unwillingly, mind you ] you people owe it to me to show up if you can. ;) in fact, bring people. if we can sell out the music box theater, we might be able to stay there on a regular basis. and i miss performing, especially in somewhere as gorgeous as the music box [ it's the next best thing to the fine arts theater... *sob* ]. of course we can't be sure how regular of a basis regular is for the music box [ that could mean once a month ] - but hey, whatever works. and, on that note (the note on which i finish complaining and going on about costuming) - i finished gauging my right ear. so i go in for the lettering on my lower back tomorrow - when that's done i'll take pictures of both the piercing and the lettering. super duper. note : note to those of you who don't know what the hell i'm talking about : i performed as magenta, the maid you can see in some of these pictures, for two years - a year with the pink invaders and for a while with midnight madness. i am taking on a new character. it's weird. but i like it. superplusplus. i'm gonna go write some songs now or something. i dunno. let's dance! |

me and last night i went over to spend a lot of time talking to everyone seems to be down lately, though. not that i blame anyone, there's a plethora of nasty shit out there lately. things just seem stagnant. i really wanna move, but i need the money to do that. my dad doesn't seem to thrilled about it either, but i guess i have to talk to him and explain to him that i really need something different. i'll save to do it if i have to, even if it leads to some shitty burger king job i think. ech. i'm just going to keep playing my bass and writing for now. those are keeping me sane. i need to draw some stuff up. monday i go in for more work on my tattoos. i need more of that, too. it helps. need some more ear piercings, too. need money, need job. blah fuckity. so the entry says. i want to be happy again. |

so today i woke up, got ready, ditched the house and went over to day before what i've actually been doing lately : i've been going insane because no matter how many people i'm around i feel so isolated. yeah, i know, i'm not the only one, blah blah fucking blah. i can do without the happy sappy "everything's gonna be okay" line. people that have someone to love / are loved by someone are so fucking lucky. of course, this also works on the theory that you miss it more once it's gone / you never realize how good you have it until you lose it. so if you're reading this and you have someone that makes you happy, don't be retarded and keep them around you. keep making them happy. don't do things to hurt them. don't be an idiot and pass them up for the next best thing. you're so fucking lucky. i envy you, whoever you are. |

for those of you looking for a bit more of my writing, go back to drunkgamers.com and you can read my new guest appearance on the drunk tank - though i have a feeling this is going to become less of a "guest appearance" and more of a staple. hoofay. uh... hung out with jeff today. watched television. went to the arcade. played some CRAP-A-RIFFIC shooter called evil night - along with my staples, house of the dead 2, dance dance revolution and skee ball. um. played bass. surprise! or not. listened to the soundtrack to cool as ice that i found a cassette of at goodwill. wore my sonic the hedgehog shirt that just fits. watched more weebl and bob (there's a new episode up - riot). by the way, that guy from drowning pool [ the "let the bodies hit the floor" guys ] is dead. whoops. |

so yeah, i didn't get to go to the elvira premiere... poopy. oh well. i'll make sure i see the movie either way, premiere or not. what i did do this morning, though, is i drove out to mcdonald's and got myself a sausage biscuit [ with bacon on it, which severely confused the lady ]. also, hash brown + orange juice. i proceeded to sit down, eat and play until the 25th level or so of dig-dug on my GBA. [ yeah, it's nice to sit around and play games for breakfast, yes sir. oh, um, if you go to drunkgamers.com and look at "the drunk tank," they had me guest on their site and answer questions and stuff. if you're looking for me on messageboards [ why god why? ] i basically only post on that one now. weeha. i think i'm going to go play some games now. oh, if you're looking for a good movie, watch memento mori. or, alternatively, if you can't find a copy, come over. i have it. i also have the widescreen lord of the rings, bichunmoo, audition, ichi the killer and the city of lost souls. hooray for movies! i'm going to see if i can buy some 2g plugs or tunnels today or something. right now my lobes have started eating my 4g's again, which means they're stretching. whoops! silly elastic earlobes. |

people i met [ according to livejournal ] : people i hung out with :
so yeah. i had a wonderful time in san diego [ though i'm not sure whether i spent more time there or in el cajon, oh well ]. i loved i loved my time there so much that if my seattle job thingie doesn't work out [ where did jeffery go? augh! haven't seen him online since way before i left for san diego! ] that i'm seriously considering moving in with so okay. i got to san diego on preview night, being a special night for exhibitors and professionals [and preregs? i forget.] to scope out the convention for a few hours before it actually opened to the public. that'd be the night i picked up audition, the city of lost souls and memento mori, along with some comics from slave labor graphics [ notably, punch + judy and issue #2 of nightmares + fairy tales ]. saw bryan o'malley and the rest of my friends at oni press. talked to many people at many companies that we knew people at, for example, bandai. walked a lot. saw strangely horrific things and mostly strangely horrific action figures that screamed BUY ME until i realized they were $300 for a set. went back to the hotel, had garlic + cheese pizza, the days after this are getting sort of jumbled in my head, so oh well. day two : woke up whenever, plugged in the stupid phone because it had been unplugged for the laptop, called ( now is where i keep talking for a long time.Collapse ) |
