TOOL has been nominated in a couple of categories for a Grammy award. These would be category 17: Best Hard Rock Performance (for "Vicarious") and category 86: Best Record Packaging (for "10,000 Days"). Mastodon has also been nominated for an award in the Best Metal Performance category, I believe it is. The winners will be announced on February 11th.

My motivation to post has been on the low side, of late.. till today.. and albeit abit lame reasoning, i must post.
i read something somewhere today that was so assinine and embarrassing that i feel compelled to post oh-so-vaguely-yet-directly.
Why oh why is that there is a human need to justify pain in thinly disguised smart assness?
It's sooo terribly unbecoming. And sad. I guess i used to think better of people around me..of what they would come up with as solutions to feeling slighted.. but as ive withdrawn from circles and watch ( read) reactions , it shocks and dumbifies my sense of what happens to people who claim a life of spiritualized reform or something of the ilk.. so to speak.
Please just know that you are loved and the things you so vehemently post 'apathetically' about not caring about, these actions are mean weird tactics.. and yet your rants are too.

In Flanders Fields
In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved, and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.

Whilst driving home earlier today, i receive a text saying
" i just drove past david Lynch , sitting on hollywood and LA brea, with a cow.. he was just sitting there.. I cant believe i didn't stop and take a picture. I don't think anyone knew who he was or what was going on..Fuck!"
In a moment of non-apathy.. i text back
" should i go by and take a pic"
(to myself :..yea right...like ill drive through 430 La Brea traffic to take a picture ..)
she texted back..
"YES!..OMG Yes!"
Then , quite unlike the lazy un-adventuresome person i've become.. I find myself.. whipping a bitch.. weaving through the unrelenting LA Labrea/highland/hollywood Blvd. traffic and pulling in to a strip-mall, adjacent to Mr.Lynch's Inland Empire pr action.
yet, despite my traffic weilding effort -at this moment my thinking was still true to my L.A. lamebrain-ness, ..
'well..i don't really need to go across the street...it's too embarrassing, i'll just take a picture from over here..'
..but( thank goodness) I was obviously under some awesome spell.... because no sooner do i find myself crossing the street, and approaching the few making the scene..

I notice i am funnier in a much more direct to your faults, slagging way.
And i am unable to placate or hold my tongue when spotting or interacting with those who have no grasp on their ego or position....or those i see as blatant manipulative , passive aggresive, fakers.... or people who seemingly gain the above egos with some shady psuedo-success garnered via sneaky copy cat methods and never redistribute accolades.

Infinite Loop: iPhone *confirmed*: "

iPhone *confirmed*
AppleInsider claims Apple Computer is trademarking iPhone 'with a Far Eastern trademark office,' wherever that would be.
In the September 15th filing, Apple describes iPhone as 'handheld and mobile digital electronic devices for the sending and receiving of telephone calls, faxes, electronic mail, and other digital data; MP3 and other digital format audio players.'
Additional functionality beyond music playing includes personal information management and that of a 'stand alone video game machine.'
It sounds great, if it's true, but rumor sites have been touting the iPhone almost as long as the iTablet. However, unlike the mythical Tablet Mac, six-figure analysts are talking up the iPhone too. The latest prediction is from Jesse Tortora, an analyst with Prudential Equity Group. Via the International Business Times, it's being reported that two models of iPhones may be unveiled at the Macworld Expo in January."

LifeClever: Dot Mac needs more than a paint job: "
Apple finally revamps .Mac webmail, but does anyone care? » LifeClever
I have to admit, I’m solidly in LifeClever’s corner on this one. They write:
The hatred for .Mac is not new in the [sic] amongst the Mac community. For me, .Mac is slowly becoming less and less valuable — certainly less interesting — as free services from Google, Flickr, and Delicious duplicate or nullify many of .Mac’s offerings. Of course, some things to like include .Mac’s ability to sync certain system preferences between computers. Still, it doesn’t seem quite worth the hundred bucks a year.
A few years ago, things like WebDAV were a novelty that was awesome but hard to find and setup, even on most shared server accounts — I have four, and only one currently supports it out of the box — but it’s certainly not enough goods for the average user, even when you look at the other pieces of the .Mac offering. Not for that kind of dough.
I see the most value in .Mac: a) for people who are totally new to Our World, and who want idiot-proof integration between their Mac and the big bad world, and b) people who work on several Macs and can benefit from the hugely useful ability to sync files and settings on user accounts.
Part of the problem, in my opinion is that, in the absence of best-of-breed components, .Mac lacks any kind of meaningful focus. It screams ‘shovelware,’ with a ‘Meh+’ lineup of apps and functionality that any power user can find elsewhere in both cheaper and more powerful services (Wordpress, rsync, Gmail, and Google Calendar all come to mind here). And really: how often are you sending out iCards and using the janky Backup? Yeah, me neither.
If it were my company, I’d give away a generic version of .Mac for free, and then make back some of the cash via additional disk and mail space. That’s it. It’s a customer retention and branding tool, and unless the pieces all were to receive substantial improvements (and constant incremental improvement, like their free competitors), it’s cynical to pretend that it’s worth $100/year to the garden-variety user.
But what if — with better integration and more competitive pricing — I could have .Mac running the day I turn on my new Mac, and then happily discover that I can seamlessly have my Documents and purchased iTunes Library backed up to a secure server every night? No, Apple doesn’t want to be in the internet hard drive business, but, obviously, via things like the iTunes Store, they have a strong interest in seeing you love the idea of interacting with them and their servers long after you’ve made the final payment on that shiny new Mac. Dot Mac is the perfect place to make that happen: be my hub, and do it better than your competitors.
Because I treasure the sync functionality and like iDisk well enough, I doubt I’d cancel anytime soon, but, frankly, I think I’m an edge case. As new Mac consumers mature and begin to explore the wonderful services out there that are improving every week, the .Mac offering starts to look pretty lame.
And it’ll take more than AJAX and pixie dust to change that.
Completely off-topic: What’s the deal with naming your products Google-unfriendly names like ‘Mail’ and ‘Backup’ and ‘.Mac’? I’ve never gotten that.

if I have one distinctive, awesome trait that i'm aware and proud of it is this:
I can create fun from any event place situation etc.
See....in my life i've quite often found myself in situations seeming unbear-able..(i.e.:forced family time...being grounded? obligations to people/events i dread ..being trapped with snakes on planes...etc)
Yet somehow, at a young very age,
I learned to cultivate this ability of forcing the fun /entertainment value out of where i am at-however originally loathsome.
Not sure whether it was a gift i was born with or just my inner Pavlov's dog ..working out the way to adapt to these situations...
Regardless, I've realized lately, as i attempt this conscious-of-my-reactions-thing, how important and rare a trait this is. It has made events unfathomable at first notice..some of the radest times of my life.
So, my advice: Reach deep to find the fun spots-nomatter the situation

Cocaine Is It-(via defamer): "
The makers of deceptively named new energy drink Cocaine insist that their product has been made 350 percent stronger than now-pussified jitter-beverage Red Bull by 280 milligrams of street-legal caffeine, not, as you might hope, by a secret, powdery ingredient imported by tied-off condom in the digestive tract of Colombian mules. Still, we assume that the company will do everything they can to fully leverage the power of their adorably controversial brand, from handing out free cans from crowded stalls of Hollywood clubs to paying millions of dollars to officially sponsor the next five years of Lindsay Lohan's life. Really, the marketing campaign writes itself.

There is something strangely tragic to me , in the banal exchange of pleasantries between two people who had once been extremly close ..intimate, even.
That awkward space in time when you make a final exchange of personal items..or something like that.
Maybe just the first tine you 'run' into them post ending the friendship..
Its so tight and sad and unauthentic. Smile. Be Nice. Ask simple quick plain questions.-All in an awkward , unresolved energy zone.
Its the sadest part , to me, in human relationships - not the ending of them...but these specific moments of inauthenticity , after allowing the same human into parts real & authentic.

This evening, Because i seemly have the radest friends in the world..who(compared to my jobless self) have really cool jobs - i got to go see Fiona Apple play a mini concert outside-about 6 blocks from my house ( thanks hills)
how lucky am i ?
Then i came home to a newly clean house and freshened up a bit ( because it is around 400 degrees out )... and went to meet with another friend of rad stature, for friday night dancing.
Our plan was to go to a dumb club and dance to awesome dj-ing...but as we drove past the said club, and saw the crew in front, we thought otherwise; But seeing as we so rarely get our lame old selves out on fridays, we couldn't possibly just go home. i mean it was only 11 30 p.m.. What were we to do? go home and blahg? not quite yet...So
we went to the 101 to have a waffle brownie sundae. may sound lame- but it had some higlighted moments..
like: when it(the brownie monstrosity) arrived, we found (only after a few large bites) it contained a huge wad of wrinkled , written on paper inside of the first ice-cream " dollop" ...??perhaps g-d was sparring us the calories..?... or we were bieng sabatoged by the waitstaff? who knew?the mystery still looms....
The resolution..they comped our bill( thank you 101 staff)and off we went
... to shoot the shit and take some potential mygayspace pics(that will not be making it up to the space, unfortunely..)
and drive aimlessly around the holly-hood for a bit.
Trully, a perfectly awesome Friday night , if you ask me.

it was my bday yesterday, and seeing as this is a day that celebrates my entrance to the planet- and my lil brother has already written such an eloquent piece already honoring my mom..and i am a lil lazy ...Today i offer you this ode for my mom..,by patrick ..
..thanks patrick, its beautiful..and thankyou mom. i love you.
from may 24th 2006-wildlotus by patrick creelman
It was my mother's birthday yesterday. I spoke to her on the phone just after she arrived home from a bike ride in the rain... She lives in a big beautiful old house in the woods of Whistler, Canada. The house is tucked into the tree's so that you feel like you are in a tree house of sorts. I grew up in the house with my sister Allison, my dad John, our random pets (including a family of rascally racoons) and a few dopey black bears, and of course the rest of extended community. my mom opened our house to the world, and for most of our friends it was head quarters.
My mom is quite a woman. Although she has a very hard time talking about herself, and dreads being celebrated by others, I want to share a few of my mothers great encounters.
When I was moving to Hong Kong 4 years ago my mom told me a quick story about her first visit here. Her mother,Val
(as in Valentine... born on Feb. 14th), took her and her sister to Hong Kong on a shopping trip (my response to that: a shopping trip? do people still do that sort of thing?) and on her way from NYC to Hong Kong she ended up sitting next to two well spoken, well dressed Nepalese men. The younger of the two ended up talking to my mom the whole flight over (back then I can only imagine the flight took like 98 hours... but the seats were probably huge!) So... as it goes, the men got off in HK as well and invited my mom, her mom, and her sister to dinner, and to their hotel. They didn't end up joining them, but found out soon after that it was the Prince and his cousin (? mmm... i think cousin???) of the Nepalese Royal Family. interesting times. Nonetheless, when the tragedy happened in the Royal house those few years ago my mom had a crazy flash back to that flight. So sad what's happening there now. Let's pray for peace in the Himalayan Kingdom.
... One weekend in 1969 while my mom was at college her friend asked her to go 'camping' for the weekend. She accepted, and about 12 hours later she found herself in a backwaters of up state new york amoungst a crowd of 500 000 people listening to the likes of Jimi Hendrix (my personal fav), the grateful dead, Santana, Sly and the Family Stone, and the list goes on and on, but you all know about that. She had arrived at woodstock. Maybe you were there with my mom. dunno. anyway. for a kid of the seventies & eighties, having a mom who was at woodstock was a huge hit! * did you know the great yoga master Sri Swami Satchidanda opened the festival? What a ride.
anyway... later in life, when I was 4 years old, my mom took her first trip without my dad, my sister, or me. She flew to London to visit her friend (can't remember her name... let's call her Lara) Lara. Lara was a writer, and it turned out she had just received her first big gig for a music magazine called RollingStone. Hmmm. plot thickens. On a random tuesday night in downtown London, Lara takes my mom out on her work trip to interview an up and coming musician from Jamaica. Sitting backstage after the show listening in on Lara's as she interviewed BOB Marley, my mom swears she didn't smoke any dope. o.k. who would? ... exactly.
even tho this is a day late, Happy Birthday Mom mom!

Sweet Jesus. I had migraine like none other yesterday. it was blinding and ..well, vomit inducing.
but i didn't vomit..But i could of . oh the horror of just recalling the felling in my head and neck and shoulders . Good grief.
how about the move on wired's part?
**note
awesome journalism..but sad revalation.
It shouldn't be like this here. i think it's another ex. of atrocious infractions on democracy and freedom.
but what's way more shock-n-awe ing to me...is that once they'd been exposed for the spying thing they did against us..as democratic citizens( so we beleieve)
I think.. that the info should have been made public , like..immeadiament....right?
Nope, instead its made public via an act of 'vigilant' journalism (thank u)
holy crap.
oh and in reading about the events,i came across this letter to the ed. ( nyt) circa 1998..funny.
** i NEVER get into political issues, really- i did as a kid..but im not american and well ..it tires me , usually-due to most opinios lack of back-up..but this one is too flabbergasting

BODY:
: my own personal pergatory....
By fantasies i mean what i wish for in my life :" i really want to be a fireman when i growup"...it referes to what i really 'want' for myself and /or can work towards .. and somewhere in the last few years a shit lot of who i thought i was and wished for has drastically shifted, seemingly without my verification....like if i find myself saying "oh i love chocolate, i want to own a chocolate factory oneday" , or," i cant stand the cure ,they are queer." i'm repeatedly noticing as the words tumble out, that i am , essentially, lying. Its force of habit in that its just a mode of reinforcing who i am ,however tenage of a ahbit it seems ..its asserting indepence via opinion and taste.."oh youknow allison creelman, she hates going to the movies, and wants to own a chocolate factory that never plays the cure".. definitive statements have formed my vision for myself...and i did USED to love/loathe whatever it is im defining( or ranting about..)
till recently... Now alot of it doesnt even remotely resonate with me .case in point:
: i ALWAYs wanted tons of kids..never thought twice about it..and i used to feel terrible for older people who didnt have any...But i trully , at this point in my career as me, do not want to have a baby. not one or 3.
i just dont see it , it feels weird and foreign.When this shift happened and why, i havent a clue, but its very much true .
this may change but , for the time being im allgood with being auntie al.
i have dhlk, who is mostly a grownup now...but now there's jack and few other babies around that kwell any curiousity for me, for now.
Also, im not afraid of commiting to things or people anymore..i like to in a general sense, have structure..somewher eto be, if u will.
it feells good to be / do what i say. i may be late for appointments and dates forever..but i like to structure some of my time ..it feels safer.(and this is big for me..bigger than the kid one)
another biggy:
i like working, but i don't like my werk. i dont feel like its the thing i should be doing . at all. i like the tech side soooo much more than the design side. but it still all seems to leave me falling short..i dont have the inguienuity to thrive as designer...in that i am not specific enough in any one area of work.i am a problem solver for minor code tweeks...and as much as i do love this...creating routes around for broken things and applications...i m basically ..no EXACTLY (f.p.t.n)* a web handyman . jackof all apps ..my resume in a tagline:
serious flash as 2 and oop ,little cocoa, underneath a little php, with just enough java script. all nestled into a new obsession with web standards and css possibilities... plus bonus (read:boring)abilities encoding video & setting up streaming servers to play it on...you need these little fixes , and everyone does...i m your person.but none of this is specific or definable, for me...see i cant seem to write a resume to save my life -or get me a job, for that matter. guess where this sort of skill base sounds kinda techy cool to ,say, my mom, but it leaves me in the postion of taking jobs to tweak broken websites, fix internet connections, setup email servers here.."fix " the network here...re-encode some video a,ftp a bunch of stuff ...or my personal fav:
just 'whipping' up a "quick" free flash site for friends ( nod to lono here, re earlier convo) .so its little piddly jobs or way bigger than i shoould say yes to , free jobs.
where does this leave me?
a little baffled as to why/ where/ how i ended up here...quite proud of the stuff i have self learn-ed but un satisfied.
i need input really.. i would love to hear suggestions. what am i missing , or overlooking, that will lead me down that golden path we are al supposed to find and follow?

BODY:
NSA's data mining explained | CNET News.com: "To answer some questions about the program and how it likely works, CNET News.com has created the following list of answers to frequently asked questions. Keep reading.
Q: What new information came out this week?
USA Today published an article on Thursday that said AT&T, Verizon and BellSouth turned over records of millions of phone calls to the National Security Agency. These are not international calls--they're apparently records of all calls that those companies' customers made.
Two things are worth noting. First, based on the newspaper's description, contents of phone calls were not divulged. Second, customers' names, street addresses and other personal information were not handed over.
Q: When you say records of phone calls were turned over, what does that mean?
That's a reference to 'call detail records,' or CDRs, which are database entries that record the parties to the conversation, the duration of the call and so on. This appears to include local phone calls and not just long-distance calls.
CDRs are stored in massive telephone company databases. Cisco Systems' Unified CallManager lets customers use SQL queries to dig up information about each call. Those internal databases have either been opened up to outside queries from the NSA or (more likely) duplicated and handed over to the NSA on a regular basis.
Q: If the NSA has my phone number, can it get my name and address?
Yes. The NSA can cross-check other databases to obtain that information. Many commercial data vendors, such as Yahoo People Search and LexisNexis' People Locator, do just that--and count many federal agencies among their customers."

april is the month of almost all my best friends bdays( aries fan, i suppose) and two of the girl version's planned a weekend in the desert..just us..i wanted to come and had been looking frwd to it.. ..until friday hit and it was pissing rain and i was running around la doing taxes banking and all sorts of tedious neccassary crap...but i knew i would be the ass of all asses if i didnt show up. as in girl best-ies no more..then it would be only me and the guys in my life..whom ar eall awesome..just that i think i need ladies..ya know?
and seeing as these woman are the tried and true ( one of whom , as we lamented over dinner sat., i met when i was dating her boyfriend..oops) They are the only females i ve had in my life over the long haul in los angeles.
so off i went and whoah! look who had the best sleeps of her life,practically...had late night hotubs, went to awesome dinner at fancy restaurant..bought awesome bday present for one of the boy vs's with another bday...? me! , inspite of my own disparaging self.

(where in i spent absurd amounts of time googlyaHooAsking the interweb what the hell
web-2.o-means... and more importantly: what is cool and meaninful or useful about it)
i spent a few days going through this site's" web 2.o awards", where there is along list of unbelievabley cool time /life /space saving speeder upper apps ,
for writing..billing drawing looking editing..playing dating you name it;
but seeing as (i'm selfcentered to the extreme),
i based my first review on me and my pursuit of a new home in hollywood
which was becoming a daunting and uninspired task ...
until this lil "web 2.0" app i found changed all this negativity:
housingmaps
dude..its just a mashup of google maps and craigslist..but combined..its sooo much more than that..
just go..if you want to buy..sell rent most major cities.....
set your price range and add whatever filters you'd like.

myspace continues to fucking fascinate me... ...... ive come full circle from hating it for its obviousness of self promotion to recognizing the awesomeness of this very self promotion .
Its allowed a never before accessible promotional playing field for anyone (bands-singles..comedians..) - to full on self promote and attempt to sell themselves to the masses- for free . The key being their accessible captive world mercado..( but no javascripting allowed!) The sellers popularity is based on true opinions..( not 55 yr old fat fucks basing the signing of a band on which one will pull more hotties for their corporate coke-lairs) Coupled with a girlfriend who knows how to use 'whore trains'**...and their practically famous...so big ups for A free market that actually works..
but allow me my pms rant now..lets get to the part that seems it could be silently killing the lovely aesthetic that has been emerging online ever since accesibility and standards became fashionable... its a viral like trend ....on the space, leading to the rapid regression of aesthetic standards...
It consists of millions of animated gifs and wacky “wallpapers” ..everywhere... mostly via the generators that offer to freely 'pimp' profiles ..created by the space “coders” .
I just want to know why everyone is so enamored of sparkling pixels....
why are they soo in demand? what about them makes it so triple awesome for you that you just gotta put them all over your page ..in comments...on blogs...everywhere...tell me Please....
is it that you like creating gawddawful unreadable browser breaking atrocities? cant be.
but then Why do you “automate ' sending the 'personalized' waving sparklers banners 'Thanks 4 the add?” .. to all new friends ...... note: this emblazoned on every comment page is not 'personal', nor is it sweet funny or cute..its not 'smart' or sassy, either...its just weird.
and confusing...
The scariest part? is that its being led and popularized by some of the more style saavy trend setters among us... you know..the tip'o'the hip trendy haircut types of hollweird....and beyond.
the-in-the-know-on-the-list-roosevelt(teddys-)-whitebelts-are so -cahuenga 2 summers ago..types.
but gawd bless their hip hearts..cause there they are...sooo excited about gangsta kenny's and twinkling neon stars wallpapers...
Its all terrible..
....and made more so because ..gosh..i hate to say this..but , for the most part, the gliteratti usage, is not ..i repeat: not 'tongue in cheek' .
its as though all those pimp users are under a weird pixelated spell or something....
sorry. but im kinda mortified,
how did this happen?
what kinda foolery train is tom pulling?

---Dear A ,
As per the horoscope, you are under the influence of the Sun, Uranus, Venus and Mercury. You have a lonely personality and innovative ideas. You will always be attracted towards new ways of thinking. Your marriage will not be in accordance with customs and traditions. You will never see eye to eye with others.
After careful thinking, you will draw analytical conclusions about everything. Others do not approve your plans or thoughts. You will never care about others however you will care for those people whom you love. You will not like routine work and working in a team. You have the ability to become an artist, writer or an inventor and you will excel in any work you undertake. Your financial position would be uncertain. You can make money through writing and art.

hmm. i feel weird. ( when do i ever not, eh?) i can definetley trace its roots today, though.
Its all this shit flying up since i decided that I would reorganize my financial and 'responsibilty'' style.
As in: take a good, hard (scary) look at everything that comes in and goes out-
and remove the fear through knowledge..(?) and eventually ( as in weeks end) have setup a personailzed, simple system for organizing all these sorts of things in mylife: tasks and bills and receipts and invoices, phonecalls and emails....FUCK- ...with the desired end result (hopefullY) being: a far greater peace and serenity within me, ..cause this shit affects me on deep-ass levels- it is my nemisis..I m immobilized and racked with fear whenever it is looming...and i always feel like i need to lie down.
which is what ive tended to do in the past..lie down .
but not of late. im really attempting this full on.
this shit is my last big thing. it ties me up in knots.
i want to be free of all the hidden anxieties in my world.
O k, enough on the problem...what am i doing to transform in this area?
well i ve been inspired by this guy over the last few months..very much. and so last night i downloaded( payed dwnld, btw) this from the GTD guru.

BODY:
The other night, i randomly....no..not randomly-i forgot: random doesn't exist .....so anyway..i guess i was 'drawn' to turn the tv on , at an odd hour - and guess what (who)? was on Oprah 'confronting' the most recent blahged about topic here(and everywhere) james frey.
The thing that struck me, is that oprah , seems to be behaving like she was 'confronting' mr.frey out her own humiliation...which comes off kinda looking weak. i mean the guys fucked, everyone sees it. but this appeared, to me, like an unnecessary human attack.
i dunno..maybe it was just for ratings...but come on..the hard hitting questions from Oprah like ;
“Were there one or two root canals , james...just answer the question....one or two?” thats lamo-rama, Oprah.
I fully concede to his lameness in what he lied about about how he fronted and especially acting such a pompous ass- i even wrote a HUGE rant at him , but now...i kinda feel bad for the what seems overkill on the punishment of a person already taken down.
My take at this point is that he is just a smart-ass who hadnt allowed for alot of spiritual growth ( up to know- cause you know he's going through some heavy forced spiritual growing at this point-)-with an oversized sense of importance
i mean, if you read (listened) to “hisbook”-and especially if you've ever been in recovery, or have gone through you're own darknight and come through...you'd have a sense of his impossible grandiose attitude and would have had a sense (or i did anyway) of how he was setting himself up for some sort of fall- via the air of conquering something that (seemingly) needs a spiritual awakening for any conquering at all to happen, led me to feel like
his path of 'awakening' was not complete- Now I think Oprah needs to check in with why shes so vehemently chastising another human -the end dialogue . was somewhat redeeming , for both of them..iguess.. kinda like Oprah won , though.
Personally i just dont think the public attack in the way they did it was very graceful or 'oprah-ish'
NOt that ANY of this is important to my life, other than something to one (or two) off blah-g about...

TITLE: a million little pieces : published embellishment
AUTHOR: a
DATE: 1/24/2006 09:10:00 AM
-----
BODY:
when that shit originally came out- and everyone was raving about (and buying) James Freys book :
“ his shattering, beautiful memoir, A Million Little Pieces, James Frey does away with a lot of things: punctuation, standard grammar rules, 12-step programs, belief in a higher power, and, eventually, his addiction to alcohol and drugs. In doing so, he has rewritten the rules 'Recovery Memoir' and established himself as a major literary talent.”(quote from here)
or
“A Million Little Pieces is an uncommonly genuine account of a life destroyed and a life reconstructed.”(from the books publisher..)
Basically its a waspy frat boy/man's shocking behavior via drugs and alcohol - and the subsequent conquering of said addictions(?) )- I m a former drug addict, so when it came out-there were many thoughtful friends that asked me what i thought of the book or actually gave it to me... and instead of being pleased and interested- i got bitchy(on the inside)
actually, i secretly hated on him and his masterpiece. -not because i am awful and cannot stand other peoples success...- i am all about everyone elses success. its my thing, really.
but this guy really bugged me . partially because
there was quotes like this:
The big noise began with a now-famous New York Observer interview, two full months before the book's release, in which the 33-year-old Frey wasted no time sawing off the legs of his rivals. “I don't give a fuck what Jonathan Safran whatever-his-name does or what David Foster Wallace does. I don't give a fuck what any of those people do. I don't hang out with them, I'm not friends with them, I'm not part of the literati.” Don't even get him started on Dave Eggers. “A book that I thought was mediocre was being hailed as the best book written by the best writer of my generation. Fuck that. And fuck him and fuck anybody who says that. I don't give a fuck what they think about me. I'm going to try to write the best book of my generation and I'm going to try to be the best writer.”
but mostly because his published embellishment ~( not even that well written,in my op.- just cool and aloof enough to be dubbed 'genius'-)~ was my idea .
Well, not exactly, but kinda.
You see, just prior to his publication of fabrications, id come to notice the seemingly marketable value in the my own memories...It dawned on me while i observed the real horror i could invoke from telling bits of my own sordid pat.
this lovely upper-middle class polite canadain blonde girl, who recants (true) tales of crack runs in havana- or waking up in motels on washington Blvd. , with three LARGE fellas hovering(?) in the corner and...or leaving your amazing handsome soccerstar boyfriend -on the side of a road - mid our romantic mexico vacation- to head out into the night (and stay there for months) with an unseemly pockmarked man who waved a gun around aimlessly ,randomly threatening to blow brains sidewalk;--
so after noting the consistent disbelief /silence/horror these facts always brought to holiday gatherings (or first dates), i'd begun to solidify my ultimate easy sell: i was going to jot all my little 'shock n 'awe' thanksgiving dinner anecdotes on paper and git paid-(via the book-deal).... which would then insure me lots of money and easylivin and a endless stream of knoxvillian crushes to draw from for boyfriend terms. fuckin awesome.
this was to be cake.
- but guess what?
james “liarliarpantsonfire” Frey fucked it all up.
i knew at soon as i read the book. there wasn't any way i could do it after him. not with him being the penultimate white-bread addiction conqueror(~even..sans AA..)
He was tragic, yet heroic in his roguish (supposedly)handsome way.(dont see it)
AND the werst part was that he maintained an aloof egotistical manner. always a crowd pleaser.fucker
(i am and can be many things- aloof is not one.more like an eager puppy..i find it very difficult to achieve that ultra state of cool ..the aloofness, ).
but just so you know: if i'd have got to go first ...the whole tar n feathering he's recieving for the silly lies prolly wouldn't have happened- or would have at least , been far reduced lesss ignifigant or bloged about ... because no-one would have read/listened to “amillionlittlepieces”....Nope.
Because you'd still be reeling in horror over my memoirs.guaranteed.
To quote from the book~ (the one that usurped my dream)...Mr.Freys puts it
“.....real life is usually the worst. the truth is what matters. It is what I should be remembered by..remember the truth”.

to become a fucking awesome person that is super rich in every aspect of the term rich?
well, first lets look at the assininity of timepassers that hold us locked outside of the great world of plenty...how manytimes a day do you find yourslef pondering ~
"what do you call male lady bugs?" or " why do people always give me the dumbest questions for my blog?"~far far too manytimes, im sure.
So, stop it. right now.
Sure, there may be answers to these questions..and you may even be the one to find them; but i can promise you , they aren't getting you anywhere near where you want to be.
So , again, i reiterate:stop it.
From now on, everytime these aimless queries comeup, grab hold of your genius brain, and pull a switch aroo on them: turn them into signposts that you are nowhere you want to be and its time to do something more productive and relevant towards gettin rich or famous . Ask not "what of the male ladybug" but "what of me and my unrealized awesomeness?"
NOW:hurry and go forth and Propel yourself into the glory and kingdom that all the rich dudes live in.

yesterday, unbeknownst to me..was aholiday?so due to that fact...and cause i was getting over being sick-i kinda had a free day. it felt like a professional day from school...All kickass open obligation free-timmmmeee..yes.
I decided id try out some stuff i had left sitting in wait for a long while...so being the new year and this being Allison vs.2.0(due to my attempt to heed advice from here...i methodically made a little list of things i wanted to try/do ........
Things did not go quite as planned.
I started with photobooth, because m and i have been trying to play around with our new cameras and printers..talking about getting pictures of eachother .and i hadnt fufilled my end as of yet... So i thought id 'quickly' check it out ~ i hooked my canon dvcamera
up to my g5 , and began .....but, somehow, i never got any further...
Basically..i managed to delve deep.... ~into my own narcissism.
I mean...are you kidding with this shit??...i spent HOURS getting just the right shot. Examining every crease and freckle..
creating makeshift tripods
( all being of the completely unstable variety, due to frantic style fanatiscm over getting the right shot....'we're losing our light hurry' ....who the hell thinks in phrases like that?? )
.. studying..practicing and posing for a variety of ~'oh! u caught me by surprise(???)' ~shots...damn.
seriously disturbing behaviour.

I used to be the biggest christmas freak, .. but now there seems no reason..my life is thin, -in the people that i feel love and deep friendship for.
family = far and few.
friends= a few great amazing ones( thank gawd)
but communication with most of them is very sporatic, as they have busy lives...and i...well, i kinda dont..
which is good. very good. just work..which i let keep me busy. but when its done..i havent a social life.
at all. its something i need to restructure. but more importantly i must look at the task at hand- how do i plan my emotional life out for the next few weeks. it feels very empty and scary to me.
ill get through but the thing 9is ..this year id really really like to do more than get through...if only cause i surely dont want to fall prey to ,this

i just found this poem (by Dennis lee)that i recall loving ALOT, when i was little-
i loved it soo much that its actually kinda weird.
Alligator pie, alligator pie,
If I don't get some I think I'm gonna die.
Give away the green grass, give away the sky,
But don't give away my alligator pie.
Alligator stew, alligator stew,
If I don't get some I don't know what I'll do.
Give away my furry hat, give away my shoe,
But don't give away my alligator stew.
Alligator soup, alligator soup,
If I don't get some I think I'm gonna droop.
Give away my hockey stick, give away my hoop,
But don't give away my alligator soup.
i mean i think its a cool little hippie poem.
but when i recall how deeply i loved it..its odd. i trully remember spending hours analyzing each line of it.
guess i was stranger than i care to process, at 7.

What would you do with your life if...
• You won $1 million?
• You had to return to college to get a four-year degree?
• You won $1,000 a week for life?
• You lost your present job?
• You had a disability that prevented you from walking?
• You had six months to live
if someone gave me my million( see: example of possitive affimation..i know i have it..just not in hand at present!)
i would:
pay back my mom what i owe her.
hire someone to manage my money and bills.
-because i am not good at this. i can open the bills..note the date due...get the check write it...but NEVER mail it. i mean its ridiculous: i usually always have the money in my accounts... i just have a weird mental block. maybe i dont like parting with money .
yep. i think thats it.
ask a few friend s to go away with me for a week. ( so be nice to me friends)
depends on time of year and my mentality at the time as to where though.
)if i had to return( ?) to college for a four year program:
i would get a tutor, knowing that i am years out of school and my dyslexia is a well documented thing...welll lets just hope i dont have to- im not good in a full on forced learning scenario.
but to answer the original question:
art. fine art and design. archetecture i think for sure. maybe landscape architecture.
if i won 100o dollars a week for life:
be annoyed that i didnt have the lump sum, then hourd it for a few months and do the above mentioned tactics from q.#1
if i lost my present job: not applicable.
if i had a disablity that prevented me from walking?
i would hopefully become a prolific writer..and be at peace wiith myself regardless.
if i had six months to live:
go see my brother and mom
write a book about what i knew thus far in life.
try and get lots of dinners in with friends.
basically just spend alot of the time enjoying my friends and family and writing.

when you thin your life out , via separating yourself from certain friends and associates...and consciously choose to withdraw from situations that seem to have caused you grief...its a good thing.
Mostly.
i am used to 120 friends and phone calls a day ....and in the great cleanout of 2005 it has dropped remarkably..( 100 percent for the better..as most of those calls were annoying timesuckers and led to drama and chaos that usually wasnt mine...but somehow always drew me in)
... now i am contacted , perhaps 5 times a day and 3 of those are usually work.
which is great and a total feat for my codependant self....
Except when..you are bored and/or lonely. (not lonely like crying miserable codependant lonely...more subtle )
.and this will happen when you clean out the clutter... .
because see, the new life has these moments of deadair , which are fine and probably very healthy..
it just seems that at the quietest and hollowest of these longer moments .. i am most vulnerable to falling in and back...ie:making a call' just to see whats up' with old so-and-so.....never a good idea, im finding out..cause its always the same....
sure the old aquaints can fill my deadair up ;
even make me feel great for a few minutes....but soon enough they are trying to pull me back in....
via telling me their stories of chaos and betrayl- that are usually the exact same as last year...but always very very important and real to them and all of a sudden seemingly real to me....

ok im done ignoring writing in here. ive done lots of write worthy things since last posting here-aside from clipping posts-
i ve spent the last month fighting off this creeping feeling of lonilness. my day to day stuff has been busy enough to allow me to be successful in warding off dealing as long as i have..but the truth is , i realize in moments , that i dont like what im filling the spaces with. they are just fillers. the life stuff i avoided succesfully is eating away at me.
im worried about my mom. and i dont have any place where i feel i can talk about that. i dont need to talk about it- i just need to set my priorities. i just keep werking it away. i dont even go out ,like i used to, so to to speak, and that leaves lots of empty spots to fill with memememmememe. not good. me time is only good when u r totally out of yourself. and you need to find time for it.
when it 's always there it can wreck havok on your thinking, as it seems to have done for me, of late.
i notice im completely unable to just settle into myself- i have to be functional and functioning and doing something that i deem productive. its super lame for my sense of self or some shit.
when i talk to certain friends it becomes even more omnipotent: ie on im tonight- he said he was becoming the new parent he always loathed..but it was very sweet. and last week at lunch with jm-- these friends of mine are living full lives that statisfy- following their paths and its galringly obivious i am not.
i am hiding in my life.
i post this as a way to be accountable . i have lots of things i love to do and still do but a fuck of a lot more that i dont do anymore or havent done yet.
this is my call to arms to myself. i've spent way to much time worrying about whats going on on the sidelines, so to speak.
to much energy worrying about assholes that dont have a thought of me remotely close to their thinking. i worried for you and for her and him. and i worried well.
but the thing that i missed is the worry never gave way to anything save for a few insights into human fear and how it causes more fear and worry and lack of action .
i need to get on with. im losing another parent. and that scares the shite out of me if i think about it.
one is one but both seems like a joke.

I decide to go out after making morning plans to go to a yoga class in venice with mw-at like 9 am...my thinking was alongthe lines of “ perfect..i'll quickly see orson,...get home by 1130, bathtub,,,bed. early yoga...at the beach. ”nice thought....unfortunately,no.
it turns out the orson show is some benefit with like 45 bands( 'bands' is a strong term for a few of the performances) and orson is playing last. of course. funny thing is all the kids left before the main awesome-ness went on. damn did those freaks miss out. and i dont use the term freaks lightly; it was unreal hollyweird people watching this eve.. (thankgawd...at least for the distraction from the rockin nightmares on stage whilst i awaited orson)
in the hollyweird parade this eve: ..you had your weeknight bridge and tunnel 'clubbers' -late 20's through to 40's..all in their best inland empire interperations of p'glamorous' hollywood style...takin from the pages of people magaqzine.
think britney meets ivana trump at the JC penneys?
sequins were spotted on three separate ladies..one in particular stands out ... a golden bolero jacket that didn't quite fit...over a nice'N'tight long sheathe of floral viscose. all this lovliness a touch drunk and yeilding an enormous faux letherette designer target 'purse' that whipped me in the hip about thirty times.
elegant and glamorous, indeed.
another fond memory? no prob.. : blonde frost n tipped muscle heavy height challenged dude in a crisp white cotton sport coat, worn 'baggy'(?) over a crisper blue and white button-down shirt...and buttoned down, it was.....just enough so as to reveal to us all his perfext golden orange tan , that set off his impossibly whitened teeth ..which in fact matched his white leather dress shoes.
all true. i wish i had a picture for you.
it was awesome. mix it all up in the dank slimy-ness that is the Avalon...and being it wasn't quite full this eve... you're prone to notice every roach and creep ...with above fore-mentioned “bands” , it was quite the spectacal.
But my favorite person there?
the most incredible female 'host' mc EVER. between each precious moment btwn the bands..she'd hold her lips just so...against the mike and entertain us all with her 'crazy' talking and cajolling of the crowd.. constantly referring to her singleness and lack of sex and lack of skills(?)
it was weird.
almost too weird to be annoying..but not quite.....she was definitely the most annoying human i ve encountered in a good long time.
but the last orson filled hour, nothing was annoying...
i dont remember liking a 'local' band this much , since shestolemybeer days..
think joe jackson meets wilco meets elvis costello on sesame street with lyle lovitt.
... Jason is an awesome frontman plus his lyrics and voice kick ass.go orson. you rawk.

the title means nothing. it just sorta combines the spackling of thoughts and stuff that flew through my life today.
So you should probably stop reading right now , unless you're sooo bored that u think u can handle the crazy train im on this am - this post is going nowhere...but im doing an excercise of writing for twenty minutes a day..regardless of what i write. . so goodbye or buckle up and en-yoy.remeber :you've been warned:
Synchroncity study in hollywood: is it real?
Lately i ve noticed an odd rise in deje-vu -ish sensations (or experiences or whatever having deje vu “is”,)
the steepest climb on my chart has been the typical precog/dejeVu that results in
“..OH!my gawd i cant believe u just texted/called me..I was
just
thinking about you..thats soo weird”
And it is weird,* when youre the one having the moment.. *
Regardless, ive noticed that i ve seen/heard alot of these lately...like..everyday last week...but, that could just be that everyone stays in touch more hypermanically cause of ichat text etc...but still..im noticing.
i have no idea what this means but ....i am starting a study to see if im correct in thinking they happen alot more frequently these days.. its weird shit and someones gotta document it.right?
I ve always been fascinated by synchronicity and coincidence and flow. time and space...dimensions. known (or unknown, really)
i love hearing about experiences ,yet i find the bigger scarab on window ones are harder to define , for me, so i ve chosen a simple model of experience from which to draw my data:
Here's an attempt to layout the neccassary factors that must occur in order for it to be included in my study...( please replace actual places with wherver ..doesnt need to be a coffebean etc)
:
first factor : noticing someone famous you had previously never thought 1 single second about-never had reason to notice- and still don't, but for a split second , as you are flipping through channels, you notice him, that actor dude, oldwhatshisname and you randomly think to yourself “Hmmm, that dude has a lisp? i wonder if thats the character or real”....then just as quick, forget and go back to court tv and carry on .....
UNTIL thenext morning,
(this factor 2):when you're in line at your coffebean, where you know everyone ...cause you've been going there forever...and as you wait for a 3shotvanilla latte in a regualr cup with extra vanilla powder, you
over hear
the guy infront of you on his cell phone..and ..woah..its weird but u recognize the voice..woooahh...oh-mah-gawd..its the lisp..you look up
and its him
..the old dude form the tv, ...oldwhatshisname, whom u'd never taken note of before, till the movie last night
yet here he is, lisp and all...woah.
and thats it..the experience has been had at this point.nothing comes of it..no sophia coppolla movies are made..just that. wierd. slips of time noted by seeming improbable random events meeting in time and space.
is it synchronicity.?..but if so ..for what?jung made it out these were life path markers...signposts.. ....but....well, you get it right?
now i know there will be some of you who may say ive disproved my own theory by way of it will not be a seemingly random encounter between two improbable subjects.. 'cause i live where celebritys are a dime a dozen , and in their pretending to live real lives it therefore becomes normal to see tom and katy at ralphs .......But these are finite perticularily peculiur moments...
( i know that when i see nate from 6feet under on larchmont at the coffebean,right after the second to last episode that effected me more than a tv should ever....i know its because i went there everyday for 6 years and the show shoots at the gower studio up the street.. so i am aware this is just a routine neighbourly sighting, like the kid u walked past everyday for 11 years on your way to different schools.....no big whoop, even if that kid happened to be on the show that everyone watched every sunday for 6 years.. there still isnt the synchros there.i know that.)
but how bout this: one..say you live on the same street as a bigtime oldmoviestar; you've been living there for 5 years..known she owned the house with smelly plants on the corner the whole time...cause everyone who comes to your house that grew up around here tells you... “ Oh..hey soandSo lives right on this block, u know”..and you're all “ supposedly ..but ive never seen her”- not even once...( especially because we're an outside , curb dwelling 'hood)....then one day 5 years into living next to fantom-neighbour- you fly into mexico city(you've never been there-its alayover) ...upon arriveing in mexico city ( and you'll be there only a day) far and away from hellay ...and in the 4 th hour of being there, you get into an elevator in a building u've never been in...and the door is held open for me.... by none other than ole'soandSo...the famous fantom(to you, no longer)neighbour ...but you are a foreign city..country?
that is some fuckin weird shite.
and although its true that the odds are higher due to where i live is: you can grade the experience on many levels : factoring in all the variables. So lets set up the system and bring on the incidents to test our theory for this hypothesis.
ill use scarabs as our rating sytem
a scale of 0-11
11-HIgh probability : as in Pretty low coincidence rate-
**0-highly inprobable-coinicidence is the key.
11= NF (non famous subject)and F(famous subject) , of all ilks are very likely to cross paths, and probably do , often.
(ie: nf watch's tv all day/night, you live in hollywood, you hangout at spots like brentboldhouseclubs, you eat at musso and franks or the palms. ..you are in a 12 step program-all of these add to low coincidence rate )
0=(zero)scarabs is low end; meaning the lower the scarbs..the lower the probability of a runin...
its highly unlikely for our two subject to meet
*as the non dejevu experiencer,you're either like“oh ..wow u must be pyschic!' or u half laugh and think to yourself '...yeah right nice excuse for not calling me back u asswipe”
*
**0 is reserved for those thought to be dead.... cause that would make it really weird.

breakfast w/d at ihop was a surprisingly nice start to a productive day ...
But,to be fair to my recent pessimistic nature, i must give precedence to bad news (sorry):
After my hearty all-american ihop breakfast of a bacon cheese burger, i (as a canadian and former vegitarian ) was forced to became aware of how bitter sweetly american ive become, eh?
case inpoint:
my new fuckin food groups:
meat
cheese
and
fried bread.
gross..yes.
addicticting..and overwhelming? duh?!.
it seems that in the last two weeks i have finally tried and ( as i feared), come to lust the 2 much advertised, very processed and yet oh soo fucking gdamned savory, american delicacy's...( oxymoron?):
The bacon cheese burger
and The (Mighty) corn dog*.
god help me.
in all 8 years here in this fine processed land,
i dont think i've ever had either ...prior to lately.
now im super fucked.
and/or super fat ( soon)
damn. my male friends are sabatoging me.
on a -lighter(pun intended) note...i got a ton of shit done today
and it feels so good.
i wont bore the page with details, but sufficed to say : i kicked ass and my actions all added up to a satisfed sufficient human level of self worth , for me.
i m coming to realize the things i like to do..and am pretty adept at doing-although not exactly spectacular or glamourous - are seemingly necassary tasks that others loathe; which is a good thing (for me)
if only i could package these tasks .
yeah right . packaging isnt part of my forte.
oh well. as long as i string together the satisfying tasks and b.o.s*, it will all work owt.
But for right now ...im ok ur ok and we're all (fill in blank_to win ipod)

john maeda , via his site and summations, has become my_mentor.(byproxy)
and this is noteworthy beeecause....??welll..ive been a bit stuck in self pity nightmare , of late...embarrassingly due to my last client,James( who rules, btw) simply asking me for a link to a resume , so he cpould post it on his site..
Now, due to my me-ness, i ve not only NOT given him the simple textbyte he asked for, but ,as u can read,
ive dvelged up all sorts of fuckin annoying early-twenties angsty ghosts...
"oh no..what is the underlying passion that drives me".."i dont know who i am anymore"...
"what my purpose...my goals", etc....so gaddamn boring. and trully upsettingly annoying.
but fear for me not: from that freshly picked scab ive narrowed down my newly discovered soulsearch to this:
i am trying to formulate a clear picture of myself for myself, in the form of a neat tidy paragraph that states my skills , my life purpose, my goals..and then , in the (highly unlikely) case i were to have ANY descions to make or questions to answer, like..ever again in my soon to be awesome future...i 'd be prepared.
So, in commitment to this goal, at least..i ve packed up work for a bit , and been quite literally, on a soul search online. It has me spend hours searching others' portfolios and bios, to see if they outline anything that remotely resonates with what might be me or the me id like to be .....tiny snippets , perhaps , explaining what the fuck is it that i do for work, or
but , for all of our relief.....
today i had a breakthrough 'ah-hah ' moment.... ...I was at a pathetic random overwhelmed by itall/nothing teary moment thinking, 'im sofuckin'fuckedcause i have no sense of self and ill never be focused enough to have a real purpose,let alone commit to a nice sweet boy** " but today it dawned on me when i re-read this at a pivotal instance in my head-trip..
the gift
**please 'scuse the last boy bit...seems i always come back to the lack of love/lust in moments of self pity*

BODY:
my own personal pergatory....
help
Iam stuck somewhere between my old version'fantasies' and new _yet unrealized ones...hence: my own personal pergatory....
By fantasies i mean what i wish for in my life :" i really want to be a fireman when i growup"...it referes to what i really 'want' for myself and /or can work towards .. and somewhere in the last few years a shit lot of who i thought i was and wished for has drastically shifted, seemingly without my verification....like if i find myself saying "oh i love chocolate, i want to own a chocolate factory oneday" , or," i cant stand the cure ,they are queer." i'm repeatedly noticing as the words tumble out, that i am , essentially, lying. Its force of habit in that its just a mode of reinforcing who i am ,however tenage of a ahbit it seems ..its asserting indepence via opinion and taste.."oh youknow allison creelman, she hates going to the movies, and wants to own a chocolate factory that never plays the cure".. definitive statements have formed my vision for myself...and i did USED to love/loathe whatever it is im defining( or ranting about..)
till recently... Now alot of it doesnt even remotely resonate with me .case in point:
: i ALWAYs wanted tons of kids..never thought twice about it..and i used to feel terrible for older people who didnt have any...But i trully , at this point in my career as me, do not want to have a baby. not one or 3.
i just dont see it , it feels weird and foreign.When this shift happened and why, i havent a clue, but its very much true .
this may change but , for the time being im allgood with being auntie al.
i have dhlk, who is mostly a grownup now...but now there's jack and few other babies around that kwell any curiousity for me, for now.
Also, im not afraid of commiting to things or people anymore..i like to in a general sense, have structure..somewher eto be, if u will.
it feells good to be / do what i say. i may be late for appointments and dates forever..but i like to structure some of my time ..it feels safer.(and this is big for me..bigger than the kid one)
another biggy:
i like working, but i don't like my werk. i dont feel like its the thing i should be doing . at all. i like the tech side soooo much more than the design side. but it still all seems to leave me falling short..i dont have the inguienuity to thrive as designer...in that i am not specific enough in any one area of work.i am a problem solver for minor code tweeks...and as much as i do love this...creating routes around for broken things and applications...i m basically ..no EXACTLY (f.p.t.n)* a web handyman . jackof all apps ..my resume in a tagline:
serious flash as 2 and oop ,little cocoa, underneath a little php, with just enough java script. all nestled into a new obsession with web standards and css possibilities... plus bonus (read:boring)abilities encoding video & setting up streaming servers to play it on...you need these little fixes , and everyone does...i m your person.but none of this is specific or definable, for me...see i cant seem to write a resume to save my life -or get me a job, for that matter. guess where this sort of skill base sounds kinda techy cool to ,say, my mom, but it leaves me in the postion of taking jobs to tweak broken websites, fix internet connections, setup email servers here.."fix " the network here...re-encode some video a,ftp a bunch of stuff ...or my personal fav:
just 'whipping' up a "quick" free flash site for friends ( nod to lono here, re earlier convo) .so its little piddly jobs or way bigger than i shoould say yes to , free jobs.
where does this leave me?
a little baffled as to why/ where/ how i ended up here...quite proud of the stuff i have self learn-ed but un satisfied.
i need input really.. i would love to hear suggestions. what am i missing , or overlooking, that will lead me down that golden path we are al supposed to find and follow?

when i lived here, cittas was,quite literally, the center of the(my) universe...

ive been here since last week , and its ok. very quiet , and calm-save for last night..fd and i went out to cittas., of all fucking places 'specially...with him.(?)
parveen was working. and if clark or brad had been there, it would of been 9 years ago.
except i was there with fd.
Who, 10 yrs ago, wouldn't dare set foot in there , especially with me.
it was the symbolic spot of my infidelity.
or the haunting ground of pd, with whom i commited said infidelity.
but now, it seems, 8 years after i removed myself from this place and all the chaos i created...I am barely a side note.its funny, actually. watching him, holding court there....to me , when i lived here, cittas was the quite literally, the center of the universe...
where we would go everyday after getting off the hill. everyday..in boots with boards outside , drinking , with parveen as bartender and clark rolling drum and having pints before work at the restaurant.
i guess its still the same place, but as im still the center of my universe, and i am not orbiting anywhere near there,'cept for my jaunt last night. it felt kinda meloncholly , if i am to be honest. i even came home and made playlists..thematic playlists.

BODY:
Perhaps i have insomnia?, add?, lack of something....but for some reason
..i ended up staying up way too late even though im exhausted...and perusing local blogs. i dont do this often anymore..seemed for awhile it got to be less interesting when every teenager in asia started a blog and id somehow end up on those...but with recent discover of local community rolls..a la 'lablogs' etc etc...i got to looking and reading..some really fuckin awesome sites . blogs with the same base purpose and enjoyment that i have..which i like..not monitary based,..and not 'contrived'... more outlet based.
Funnily , the one i ended up reading the longest was Tom Greens, i'd seen it last year some time..xmas i think.. and i remember liking it alot, but as i tend to do..i forgot about it..but there it was tonight on blogebrity, i believe..and as i ve been feeling homesick-ish as of late..it was comforting to read. First cause he's canadian ..and because hes been writing from up there( sakatchewan , and ottawa to be exact,) and one of the first blurbs i read..he referrenced Farely Mowat damn! that got me.wolves and owls...tres canadianne
i forgot how much i loved those books.
and he got to meet Jean Chretian, and it just had a lovely canadian tone.. down to hanging with his parents (sorta) playing trivial pursuit .
he just seems like a nice smart grounded boy. *but then again i seem alot of things via this that i dont think i am in real life...oh what do i know?..im definetly over tired, dude.*
anyway..its a great site.
all this perusing got me thinking , too..about how weird & common "blogging'' is....
DISCLAIMER: i am about to do 'back when i started blogging" thing..but its not meant to be a condescending or territorial..just observatory and speculative ..allright?k..
so..carry on my wayaward sons:
Back when i started doing this ( writingnotes/journal at taintme)it was really trully small and sorta secretive loser-ish community. i didnt know one single other person (in the flesh, that is; i knew online people)-who wrote online or had 'blogs'...But now:its a totally different 'thing' , blogging is. Lots and lots of people i know and am related to even, write online..
i wonder sometimes, what the hell i could have done with mine - had i had foresight or motivation..
oh well. i love it still.the outlet is irreplaceable and as it stands taintme has become my secret soapbox, private journal, crush keeper, gossip outlet and theraputic-confidant. its the most consistant ritual ive had in in my adult life. this ..blog thing taintme.
it has directly caused me: to lose friendships, total embarrasment, gotten me a date, ( ONE...and it sucked)
broughtme closer to family members, made me a few new friends..and lots of other random attributes i cant remember . so thats kewl.
next order of my mind:
i feel directionless right now. like im swimming in my life , but its a wading pool. and its really hot out..so i just stay in the water cause its cooler..and sorta easier..albeit getting increasingly more uncomfortable.. I just tread water to avoid getting out and having to deal.'
kinda a bad analogy..but im overtired and the visual is working for me. forgive.
i wonder how i can change things now. i dont like this holding pattern at all , as of this week.
its so weird how i have tiny revelations over nothing ( seemingly) and all of a sudden my life doesnt work for me anymore.

Somedays i can tolarate it. on others, i feel like killing ...
..and days like today, i feel upset and claustrophaubic.
it really makes me want to move. she seriously does it at all hours of every day.
This is the tip of the iceberg on this woman by the way..She has done other things taht are so unbelievabel..i cant be bothered to write about.
She has two kids and a husband..whom all seem frightened of her.

All Forces » Blog Archive » Ghost Email:
What a fantastic, simple in your face solution for my massive unbelievable jump in spam density , of late.
(since tiger , actually .and the “new' improved' mail app..yeah right.)
but this ghost mail solution is perfect , for me
HOW TO:
..if you have a domian..or 2 ..( or 28) and you find yourself having to register at every site..
when u hit the form :email
name the email by the site u sign up:
say you are buying a chair at target.ccom, and when you register ur email address( mandatorily)
use the email:
target @urdomainhere.com
and when u sign up for free porn:
porn1@urdomain.com,and so forth....
......And then (it gets BETTER..)go set up a new gmail address(or whichever massive free webbased mail service u prefer)
Then have all email for
anything@yourdomainhere.com forwarded there...
go ahead and try ..and i will let you know how it works out for me.
GENIUS
how come i never thought of this?

whats fair and what's not fair...well this is something i definetly dont have a market stronghold on, but i definetley have strong feelings about.
i have thought of writing about this particular dilemma many times, the holding off aspect was because i kept thinking "they" would make good on their word and i would feel foolish.
then i realized one key thing:
i feel foolish alot & for far lesser things..
what i speak of is this;
i paid for a 'gold' account on blogrolling.
no big whoop, at all. the thing is though they are theives. they took my creditcard payment..and stole away the service they sold me.
i have no access to my "gold'blogroll account... and after repeated attempts to contact anyone /everyone linked to the support on the site... i have been given useless form letter responses and nothing more.
so fuck them.
i mean , come on. dont sell yourself as 'still grassroots-y cutesy ' sites when you behave worse than msn or mac.
the thing is, i am not rich and i have tried my damdest to be a good thoughtful consumer when it comes to open source...If i love your service /app whatever ..i will fork over the 20-80 dollars..cause that's the way it should be..but i ve been turned on my ear by this experience. i dont think i will use paypal or kagi as often . i think this is indicitive of the money grubbing in the myspace times we live... and as the saying goes: alls fair in love and war..so step aside good-developers-of-open-source-radness..cause people like the liars running blogrolling are ruining it for you..its becoming increasingly less satisfying to pay when serialsurfer is dangling that other less expensive option ..that seems less and less immoral as the blogrolls go...

BODY:
i have been tripping on the validity of this thing for a month..but i finally found one ( well three words, to be exact) thing that is not true.
its denoted***
Ascendant in Cancer and Sun in Gemini:
While you appear gentle and soft and are emotionally supportive of others (as described in the previous chapter), you are also very curious and inquisitive, with a childlike interest in everything new. This combination makes you a winner with children because you share their curiosity and love of play, and you also empathize with them. Psychology is probably also an interest of yours, and you are very effective dealing with people on a one-to-one basis. You surprise people sometimes because behind *** your soft, rounded appearance*** you are quite sharp, quick and intelligent.
Sun in Gemini:
You are, in many ways, an eternal child. Your mind is bright, alert, curious, flexible, playful, and always eager for new experiences - and your attention span is often quite brief. You grasp ideas quickly and once your initial curiosity has been satisfied, you want to go on to something else. You crave frequent change, variety, meeting new situations and people.
It may be hard for you to decide just where your talents and true vocation lie, for you have a multitude of interests and are loathe to limit yourself by concentrating on just one. You are easily distracted by all of the other fascinating possibilities. Your curiosity and restlessness propel you into many different experiences in life, and you are willing to taste or try anything once. Doing the same thing over and over again, even it is something you do well, is real drudgery for you.
You live in your head a great deal - reading, observing, thinking, spinning ideas around - and you need mental stimulation every bit as much as you need food and drink. In fact, if you had to choose between a good book or movie and a good lunch, you would very likely choose the former. You have a creative mind and often live by your wits.
You are also a very social creature, with a strong need to communicate and to interact with people. You enjoy using and playing with words and have a real flair for getting your ideas across in a clever, interesting, articulate manner. Writing or speaking are areas you have talent for.
You also have a rather light and mischievous sense of humor, and often do not take anything too seriously. Though you crave emotional involvement, it is hard for you to achieve it, for you are frequently unwilling to commit yourself to anything, to take responsibility, or to limit your personal freedom and mobility.
Your happiness lies in using your creativity and your language skills to communicate something meaningful, to teach, inspire, or bring people together. You have an unbiased mind and can usually offer a fresh, clear, uncluttered perspective. Your faults are your lack of constancy and persistence, and your tendency to overlook or ignore deep emotional issues and other people's feelings.

I love this phrase"saint of circumstance'. I havent got any idea of what it means for reals; but it has taken on a meaning within my spoken 'in context life' and i think it circumnavigates, at very least, the area of which its meaning stems.....lets explore my usage shall we?i use it as a way to describe how someone is associated to seemingly odd situations and unconnected events and people, ex : me at an oscar party=saint of circumstance....
breaking it down: a canadian girl who had a drug-ish problem years ago, which led to ending up living in LA via rehab and knowing all the other drugaddicted but in recovery kids..whom ended up being fancy painted kids etc...SOO..seemingly only because i was in aa(which was only due to drugish prob) am i at the oscar party , no? and i 'd say i was just a saint of circumstance..meaning to me that the sit was not quite as it would be for others in similar party right?

its my birthday today and my dads anniversary.
it used to make me sad in a bad way , but not anymore . now, im just reflective and aware and appreciative .
oh..and a bit angry.
But in a goodway..like : 'clear out mutherfckers..i dont need your badass attitude today, thank you very much'
My dad used to buy me flowers on my bday. (it made me feel sooo grownup when i was little)
So today ,for the first time since he died, i got sent flowers on my bday, (and funnily enough..from someone who is a bit fatherlike in my life.)
i also got a couple different renditions of happybirthday's sung to me on voicemail.
even one live ..with real instruments(over the phone)
and a canadain "bob n doug" version, eh.
i found myself consistantly shocked by the thoughtfullness of each fonecall and nice gesture today and yesterday....-which is funny and kinda sad..because i ve always been so trusting and assured of relationships (somewhat 'assuming' really..That ill get the luv nomatter)but my reaction / shock today makes me see how that part of me has really been altered -which is completely due to my uncanny abilities to befriend and believe one **shitty terrible person after another **'terrible terrible shitty' person ...See,till very recently, i was the dumbass, always saying'cmon guys,,they really are just needing some frineds..they arent bad people.." then all of sudden...POOF- gone sometimes wth my ipod..sometimes with (queue the violins) a bit of my trust..BUT no more..!! . so to protectagainst such types, ive become suspicious of everyone s intentions...
**('terrible terrible shitty' and **shitty terrible person' are the unfortunately appropriate, oft used trademark references of dloh's , to describe some of these 'friends'i ve had in the past}
woah..dude,i m dropping scientific sized self assesments...im on fire
so ill continue :
i think im finally fucking beginning to stop caring about the shitty details that have kept me distracted from seeing the beauty of the nuances and wider perspective of what has become the landscape i live in ,
its as though i finally started to learn how to use the avid on the movie that is my life. ( excuse the hollywood -ish analogy)
my life today is not remotely what i thought it was,or would be..at all, but it feels like a fit to me, finally .
i love this picture: i was pissed about being interupted from telling dad some important stuff, apparently.

just home from df went with al and dev. we had fun..lots of people but not crowded.(.after aj took care of the token space hogs like the one girl in the beginning who'd been thrown off stage..on to my head, then danced 'at' me as though we were having a puerto rican dance off or something).but other thanthat it was great. super fun..
i wonder if ill ever bore of this ritual sunday event. i will say, though, i m not going anywhere else to see them again, after that one visit to aguora hills. Except maybe the hob in vegas..That would be fun, seeing as it is inTheHotel ,..
But i digress...tonights dancing by the band was killah.They are fucking great.. i was a sweaty girl this eve.. btwn dancing hard and lauhging hysterically, which don't work together.but are both good ingrediants for goodtimes..

it seems lame to be upset over what i'm upset over- but i am.
i am sick and sad. just fucking tired of this shit .
i dont do many great things on a day to day basis- or in my life, in general... but i know one of my most valuble and strongest traits is that i am never intentionally uninclusive. NEVER.
if i love you , and you are my friend , i will do anything in my power to make sure you never feel leftout. And i will , hopefully, always cultivate this trait/chacteristic as part of me...
This is because i find exclusivity the worst club ever created and the human behaviours associated with it: secrecy-deception-lying-concealment-(any behaviour thats carried out due to a root mal intention) are the seeds for shitty human-being-ness.
By this i refer to The kind of human that blows you off till they need something from you
- like help with their computer or to borrow your(fill in the blank)or help getting in da club ... Or they just seem to never think of you when the fun stuff comes across their desk.
They are the same friend' who never seems to see who is infront of them; only who isn't- and they cant wait to get to that 'other'* group
they are the one's who dont remember to tell you about something you'd love- because they want to tell the others* first-
*( you know..the "others'-those who r higher on the guest list or closer to all the good shit?).
Its the friend that never asks or listens to whats going on with you- but seems to have you as a friend solely to criticize and give advice to, based on their idea of how or who you are.. etc etc.***
( the truth is they did seem to be your friend in a real sense at one point...but you forget when )
It's these people , these friends, that always seem to end up getting their needs met....seemingly easily and consistantly....but the catch is that its usually via meanspirited intentions..either directly or indirectly...it doesnt matter because its the root intent that matters...
Intentions that hurt others knowingly are fucking Lame (suckass shitty bad wrong)
Enough , i say.
this is a call for action for all of us : because i know me and my friends are just off track..and perhaps you or your friends are too....
So,Please... Lets all just try and stop it, then it will be alot easier and more enjoyable for all (even YOU-dear,mal-intentioned-overlooking-shitty friend....)
I mean c'mon, if you really think about it, how hard is it going to be?
to act -and more importantly BE, more thoughful of others? to all those who are around you, whether they're around by choice or by force(ie:work, partners of friends etc)
It would only mean(mind the pun) remembering this easy childhood firefighters phrase: STOP DROP AND ROLL
...i'll explain:
STOP : talking about others faults and instead DROP them a compliment
STOP : being sneaky, stop bringing up events or things that others arent going to be invited to, or hey...novel idea? DROP: them an invite ..
ROLL: with it... with those around you , ..within their world **
-How about asking how their week is going? What amazing feelings you instill just by checking in with people, without needing them for stuff.just ROLLing with it.
without number one intent being your own wants..just DROP a message to say hi.
those make me feel great. and so do the feelings i have from the intuitive sense that you (my soon-to-be-more-thoughtful friend) just give a shit about me today.
It helps me to want to give a shit about life.and you..and the dude im working for.
See what im getting at?..then its easier for those of us that you intentionally were nice to , to do the same thing..
It is a bit gay that im writing this- but im really and trully deeply affected by these things..
To know you are hurting someone because it (and deep down we always know when we are) is definetly not good for u them or for the planet:if u cause intentional unecessacry hurt=you cause tiny tears in the universe and more seperation and this isnt how the war is stopped or how kids learn to be loving humans or how we create a community or help each other to help ourselves.or how to get happy.
and, as with everything, it's silence about these behaviours that keeps them ok and thus prepetuated..
So :
STOPit-DROPsomeLuv and ROLLeasy ...
**when you start with great intent- you'll find others really want your advice and opinion..fancy that huh?)

Last night went to cbs radford for taping of eddie's new show.
its called "the crumbs",( ?prolly be different when it airs..these things seem to change) Its a sitcom, about a upper middleclass family from back east . Fred Savage( wonder years) is son no.1, who's moved to LA to persue sreenwriting, and after one movie success, is now 'blocked...He's gay but his family doesnt know.
Eddie is the bro who survived boating accident that a third brother died in, eddie's character, Jody, stayed to run the family restaurant- he is a bit of a womanizer/sex addict and bitter at brother fred savage for leaving .
the father (bill devane) has recently left the mother (jane curtain) for a restaurant critic, whom is now pregnant. The dad has become a past life massage therapist and drives a mint vespa.
The mom went nuts due to all of the above and attempted to run over dad , so she's just been released from mental hospital.Which is where the show opens.. brothers picking mom up from institute...
The show is so well written and eddie is fabulous in it. sooo funny and he and jane curtain are perfect as son/ mother. He is really and trully great at this role and im not just saying it.
He and lynn left to get married in hawaii tonight... staying at how.s's new 'plantation' on kauii.
Lynn is due in august , i beleive, but she looks fantastic.I dont know why i never thought pregnancy was attractive..cause both lynn and draven look(ed) hot.
i seem to be very productive these days. but my social life is seriously nil n void.

sunday night par usuale..
i must say though.. this evenings dance moves seemed especially dazzling.
and the first set of 'guest' dancers were AWEsum.
a bit different than what we usually see...a little, shall we say, 'tougher'?
more .. 'melissa ethridge' than your average sunday softcore dancer.
but they Just saddled on up there , rawkinHard around the band..yet,
focusing most of this down n dirty awesome-ness on ( of course) leadsinger kevin Even my fellow canadian, avril lavigne's guest spot , although super kickass and all... ..
didnt hold a candle to the less famous antics...such as..
say... the ultra-aggressive 'dry humping' of above forementioned lead singer by 4..5? 7?.. of the bands finest fans, during the always rowdy 'like a virgin' cover.
hmmmm.
None of these girls looked or acted much like virgins.
In factthey looked well versed in how to hump ferreal........
although, it sorta looked like kevin got hurt , but that could of been pleasurable pain,.....
i mean really..what do i know?
BUT...The bestest part by far, was the front row awesome-ness.
From start to finish these girls ruled in all their fascinating comehitherness. i need a camera to document. its trully spectacular.
*note:..i m not sure they are aware these guys are a cover band..?

Albert Einstein is the most awesome - he said : "The finest emotion of which we are capable is the mystic emotion. Herein lies the germ of all art and all true science. Anyone to whom this feeling is alien, who is no longer capable of wonderment and lives in a state of fear is a dead man. To know that what is impenetrable for us really exists and manifests itself as the highest wisdom and the most radiant beauty, whose gross forms alone are intelligible to our poor faculties - this knowledge, this feeling ... that is the core of the true religious sentiment."

A habit is a pattern of behavior acquired by repetition. Psychologists and behavior experts say that it takes about 20 to 70 days to form a new habit.
(from "the 10 minute guide to getting organized"By Janet Bigham Bernstel, Stephen Windhaus)
interesting.
So, it only takes a few weeks, if this theory is correct, to become addicted...to anything?
its seems so simple when you try something new or start a new 'habit' without meaning it to be a 'habit' ..like having a cup a coffee one moring..when you havent ever been a coffee drinker- but one a.m. its presented and drunk enjoyed and ..associated?...probably because of outer crcumstances..not cause the coffee was so great..you were in a really great fun conversation..or something cool happens and your happy horomones kick in ... and subsequently coffee is forever associated with the emotion felt.

touchy subject ahead:
ive been writing online since along time ago.
nothing noteworthy. just exhibisionist style ramblings about nothing.
some things have gotten me in shit, by mistakenly being read by the wrong eyes.
but...in general, over the long haul..its been cool ; sometimes therapy ,sometimes purgeing sometimes collecting my thoughts. sometimes being an exhibisionist
to no one on nothing.
but lateley ive made a rather large lifestyle choice that is seeming to be worth documenting on here..because getting clear unbiased objective thoughts on its effects is not possible.
You see.. i was sober ( abstinant from all mind altering thingyies) for over 6 years.
i m involved in a large community of sober people..all finding& helpingeachother to a way out of some lifestyle into a another.
usually one with deeper personal meaning , on all levels.
nothing hocusy pocusy..just how to live a life outside the trappings of selfcentered thinking.
it is a remarkable undescribable community that is filled with my friends and family.
over the last year i had a shift..not bad, just started to peice my own ideas and thoughts together for the first time as an adult, with self esteem...and came to some awesome and scary realizations for myself.;
i wasnt growing anymore..i had shut my openvalve and was spitting out dirty water overflow...nothing new coming in on the personal developement front.
i felt stagnant..so i tried to reasses..and do certain formulaic prescriptions.
no need to go over the process..as it was mostly an internal evolution that brought me to a galss of champagne at a moet party during fashion week.
nothing right?
well, with the way my life is setup and my relationships work..this glaass of moet altered things.
some were small tilts of alteration..others seem to be big old boulder toppling avalanche style alterations.
lots of nuances involved.things are changeing in my relationships , to say the least.
getting it?
i have lots of rad coolfriendships that i have made during my sober years..what i realized last year was...i had became a. the sober girl from canada..you know friends with xxx and xyx?
oh yeah the sober girl.
ahah.
this got me.

met the elusive(to me) enigmatic to all..kevin/M ..albeit dont know if he quite got who i was,
or even recalled the emailing -as it was a few months ago...and in a rockstars life , thats many babes ago.&..The sea of babes is gi-normous for these guys.
W and friend showed up, as did Rene. I was high energy ...mostly because i was in my pjs ,here all weekend.
need to get out more. .
i'm , unfortunately, bored senseless with present male company( note to self-NEVER LET HIM KNOW OF THIS SITE*)
when he tells me stuff..i cannot remember what hes saying as the words waffle out................
Hes not a bad guy , just not a good match.
I have flashes mid waffle of screaming "BOW TO YOUR SENSEI"..
or just calmingly standing from where we sit and walking off, without a word.
pretty indicitive - when someone u r 'hanging' out with instills fantasies such as these.
He doesnt like to talk , he says..but it seems its all he does, at me.
about himself. too well rounded and not funny enuff.
doesnt get my humour AT ALL.
you know when you are telling a story ... like how your hassid neighbours kids saw you getting changed ..some self-effacing humour ..and he's listening..and im telling all the funny bits.
as i had to friends earlier (who were peeing themselves, i mite add)
and i look at him staring blankly..like hes trying to grasp where im coming from or where im going..
its awfully uncomfortable.
and he "uhmms" at the tales end ~ and proceeds to tell me of how children are exposed to sexuality too early these days?????
Geeeeezzzzzzzzzzz louise.yeah guy. you and me should hang more.
or if there is teeny tiny mid sentance refrence to something he 'feels' passionate(loose use) about..he interjects to waffle sum more.
he bugs me.

my life is weird. or more accuretly, i guess, life in general, is weird.
i live below 2 army rangers. as in US army special forces , both veterans of the war.
They are little boys, in that they are 22 and 23.
they are both my friends. Jf is like my brother.
tonight a friend of theirs, from their troop, arrived to visit for the weekend -
i brought them out to to a dumb-ish hollywood party.
the misconceptions i have of people was evident this eve.
i dance when i go to party's clubs etc.
but not serious dance, i usually am in the best least crowded spot doing fun goofy moves w/ a friend( i have a list of my dancing friends -its very specific.) So these boys come meet us( im w/aj cr ) and i assume they will need to be entertained and not want to dance-or be really bad embarrassing dancers...i made these assumptions because, in my head, if they were in the army ..they cant possibly "get it"
ie: be quick enuff to get into dance dumbness i do.
Oh how very wrong i was..... how naive i am..
they were immeadiatly on the floor with us...goofing and not being gross/embarassing.
actually being more fun on a dance for than any guy i know.
(save for mw at ad )
AND we stayed up talking after and i came to realize alot more.
Mostly about the assiniity(?) my assumptions create and how elitist i am, with no good cause.
i think i may have missed out on alot of experiences, thus far in life due to this ...must note and stay in awareness ....Oh and BTW:
friend visiting is hot. extremely. he reminds me of someone else.

i haven't been writing as i don't have a laptop. this is causing me to realize how reliant i am on this dumb technology. sitting up straight,it seems, isnt an option for rambling. i guess.
well, im officially on the market for new everything: laptop, jobs and comfort. if you feel like it send all or any of the above mentioned and you will be rewarded, somehow.

this is the strangest period of my life. not the top of the strange -like if i were rating degrees of strange this isnt the number one. but the strange feelings and sifts around my life are trippy.
i wish i could explain better. its sorta like if you half wake up from a super intense dream...one that is like reallife with odd twists...except i havent fully woke up. thats a bad example but i don't know how to explain . i feel a little trapped. i feel a little liberated Also .. angst and hope and fear and some other unrecognizable shite swirlling around inside me.
today i went with mw to jwbn. then here for him to witness The thing in my backroom. then to ameoba . bought cds . then to terry's. then here. maria was here. now noone. feel like i need someone to talk to . but noone i think of is right.noone that will therapize or tell me what to do with THE THING.

is this irony or freakiness or what ?
out of the kazillion things i've thought of since..say, last saturday...my ex boyfriend, Joel fitz , has been on my mind ..t just random thoughts thunk;
probably because ive been chatting with lc of late and it got me thinking to way back when we met ( lc and i) and where i was in my life ( dating jf..who introduced me to lc)
ANYWAy...so there is piece one...1=spotty thoughts of jf.
Piece 2 consists of this book that keeps coming up, i didn't have a clue what it was about, The tipping point , or who wrote it..but then i aimlessly meandering thru listings of SXSW speakers and i came across the Author's pic . .piece 2.1= i had dinner with baby C and she was raving about the second book Blink.
kept saying i was going to check it out..
cut to..this eve hills and i go to the groove around 7pm..apple store, etc..then i decide to stay late cause i know the bookstore (B et N?Blech) is open late..i go up and peruse code and design books and recall the aforementioned book-i bought it...get home..start reading... and by the second page he is referencing above forementioned exBF jf .....
all my life's a circle..sunrise to sundown with people coming round again.....with every page i turn.( totally coped from harry chapin )

geez i must be Pmsing.
.had mellow weekend
baby bday was cancelled due to rain, so i met dloh at mels..we had a fun time. he was in awesome form.i was laughing so hard and we stayed through 3 tables changeing behind us.when he is on a rolli can listen to his banter forever..except when he embarresses me;Case in point:
i saw a guy i thought was tom sizemoore..i was actually sure it was him...BUt danny knew better,par usuale... and to prove it to me he kept yelling TOM in the restaurant...so every-gdamn-one turned around, except "tom sizemoore", of course.mortified me.
weird to go to a restaurant and see all the tourists with maps and serious glints in their eyes ,as they look for jenifer aniston or billy zane(?where d i pull tha one out of..) funny.
but i did hav ean awesome early am. went to mels woth dloh and laughed a t his antics ( hf's bday was cancellec)

Oddly Enough - UK Reuters
(i just copied this for sheer awe-struckness..)
Girls fined for giving neighbour cookies
Fri Feb 4, 2:19 PM ET
DURANGO, Colorado (Reuters) - A Colorado judge ordered two teen-age girls to pay about $900 (480 pounds) for the distress a neighbour said they caused by giving her home-made cookies adorned with paper hearts.
The pair were ordered to pay $871.70 plus $39 in court costs after neighbour Wanita Renea Young, 49, filed a lawsuit complaining that the unsolicited cookies, left at her house after the girls knocked on her door, had triggered an anxiety attack that sent her to the hospital the next day.
Taylor Ostergaard, then 17, and Lindsey Jo Zellitte, 18, paid the judgment on Thursday after a small claims court ruling by La Plata County Court Judge Doug Walker, a court clerk said on Friday.
The girls baked cookies as a surprise for several of their rural Colorado neighbours on July 31 and dropped off small batches on their porches, accompanied by red or pink paper hearts and the message: "Have a great night".
The Denver Post newspaper reported on Friday that the girls had decided to stay home and bake the cookies rather than go to a dance where there might be cursing and drinking.
It reported that six neighbours wrote letters entered as evidence in the case thanking the girls for the cookies.
But Young said she was frightened because the two had knocked on her door at about 10:30 p.m. and run off after leaving the cookies.
She went to a hospital emergency room the next day, fearing that she had suffered a heart attack, court records said.
The judge awarded Young her medical costs, but did not award punitive damages. He said he did not think the girls had acted maliciously but that 10:30 was fairly late at night for them to be out.

i live in a town where all the famous people either live or pass through on very regular basis.
i am a non famous ,canadian girl; i get star struck and have a few crushes on famous guys..becuase of their public persona..here swhere it gets interesting( or not)
i live literally in the center oflos angeles ..err Hollwood(btwn la brea + highland, and melrose+beverely)this make sit more like being ina big ass high school,on my first year in gr7 ..knowng the names and affiliations of all the gr 11 and 12 skateboarder boys.just not knowing them
so my chance of comeing across these crushs is fairly allright...but likelyhood of
a)talking to them
B) liking them really, after witnessing their realself..or
4) them even noticing me ,are pretty slim.
but in the interest of boredom, slight loneliness, and better times ahead...and an inbred sense of blind faith i am posting my celeberity crushes here :
kinda stupid n a bit gay

remember that song on tom waites MULE...where hes got saws and shit in the background..saying'what is he doing over there..?" etc?? well my nights are reiminiscent of this..my upstairs neighbour is constantly 'doing shit' and walking the floor of the apt with heavy heels...running up and down both sets of stairs...And he's up all the time ...no sleep for the trully bizzy, i guess..but really..what is he doing up there???making me a present..probably, right?
ok i am definetly in some sort of perplexing space with the state of my socialife..or lack there of.
very mellow and relaxing...i just always worry ...what happened? how come im not getting 450 calls like before THAT I HATED but still..a bit catch 22 ish for the fickle.
those i do see or talk to consistantly, are trully family. like it or not , these people dont seem to be going anywhere :dl jk ie ls al am dv mw mj even tfox and jp are more deeply entrenched in my emotional vault than those i see much more often.interessant
...but i realize that most of the people ive spent most of my time with the last few years do not actually ..i dont know the right werds..its just a feeling i had upon pondering stuff and people..i guess there is 2 types of great friends in my world the boring stayed true ones, who never want to go out with me...but i know i could go to their homes at any given hour and theyd let me in..to geek out or whatever.the other type is the socially inclined friend, more about how we can work off each other for maximum fun ...generally,m not having breakfast with them, or feeling any general safety with these people.i just feel..well very little authentic emotions come up for me when i think of these kids(my Social-scentsters.).. as much as i love going out and stuff and doing the gay LA stuff that my core group WILL NEVR do.. i can go to their house to get out of mine.nomatter,anyof those guys i could do that.the friends of my *late* sociallife..not so much.
i guess thats how ill define my relatiosnhips for now..could i see myself showing up at your house mid day to watchtv or geek out on computers? y or n.
on the social tip:i m growing up ..because i no longer have any false idea that i m excluded from missing anything, if not there where IT is happnin. whatevah....besides..i KNOW that i dont ever or never yet , meet people in clubs or out..everytimE i go out, i do meet people..just not dates or future close friends, more like idiots whom I am trying to make less annoying for other people by picking up talking to the least interesting(?) person ...ive only ever met people who later became special via others i am already tight with...its all an inside job, eh
im too shy for the approach outside...
i sorta feel liberated and sad at the same time..not uncommon to have these two emotions in the same salon of experience., i guess...*shit, there he goes again..just ran up the stairs loud as hell...again( down) friend of his is here..they are talking very loud-i dont care btw, im just doing my online literary version of tom w's song.
i mean, im up..they arent disrupting me..and i cant stand my other neigbours,not worrie dabout their sleep...as they're an amazingly awful family from isreal..hassidic, whom i tried so hard to befriend, but htey are in so much post traumatic stress, i only send them love from the far reaches of our compound...little contact as it always ends up crazy
upon moving in , they took over our driveway, in a hostile take over..its crazy they dont let anyone park in our communal driveway...if we forced it ( which we have done a few times) they make it so difficult to get in and out ..it is not worthit. and we know call it the gaza strip.. they trully are screaming bloody murder at each other,at least 4 nights aweek..so bad that when they first moved , in both G and i thought they were killing each other.naive wasps we are.
thats how they COMMUNICATE...ive come to gather.
my mom is still here in dna point. not doing very well...but i am totally avoiding it.
i call once a day( she NEVER answers)
and leave a message. i do not know what to do.
i guess i should look into that pronto.
i think the vandals played tonight, if im not mistaken , at the wiltern with puddle of mudd...what a weird combo

well at least not a guy i liked
i guess if i dont go out i wont get to meet anyone to do that ,eh?
the thing about going out here is it tends to be soooo lame for me.
just danceclubs that change weekly in their IN factor..

it makes me feel awful. i think , from his tone he hates me,and the worst part, for me, is that i havent any idea why.
shit, its really upsetting me.i dont often understand people..or their motives..but usually when someone is that adverse after being so fun..i ll at least have an inkling as to why .

yesterday was interesting/cool.
jken had a brunch for jp 's bday here ....random nice interesting. i was alittle worse for the wear at the start though;
..jken called as i was getting up from from about 30 mins of lite sleep...remember?i was up fixxing my PBook alll night i bet i looked cute when the odd assortment of jp's LosAngeles crew of( JP doesnt live here, hes from the NorthEast) friends/fam from varying tours arrived..No biggy really if it had been only these...a and d , dcr and his fnew friend
ee and t( who , i found out live in the same building the BLACK DAHLIA lived in....) how freaking cool.
kit wes....jk a dloh
and ..*chris s. how weird to me ..
INTERUPT THIS POST FOR STORY REFFERAL *the boy from 2 falls ago, who was j's guitar tech..and at some point during beg. of tour?or reheasals..i decided was sk8tr cute...i then mention it on IM while they ar e away ..and jk tells me to come out ...i do..TO minneapolis...indianna, i think? mid west , regardless in winter...and he(chris cute guitar tech) never said one word to me.from the moment i arrived to the day i departed..not hi even. (someting about the boss of you on tour telling you to like some girl hes bff with, and ..well...i guess thats prolly kinda weird)..But...as the worldturnsout..... i ended up having the best trip, i think becuase , we were in such little earnest towns. candaina-ish. no one else was out visiting, so i got to do the passes for tf and stuff.
of course my fake pretend boyfriend was there too(jfr)...so it was fun.
Eversince this tripout i was always awkwartd and felt silly around chris s...i only saw him at their shows ..maybe 4 more times.but to see him walk in to my living room, after i was up fixing the computer all night, expecting no former present or future crushes to arrive at all.....hmm. well i ll just say this thank J H christuffewr that i now just think he sweet. not cute to me* eEND OF REF STORY
but... someone was cute to me yesterday...weird strange new crush on someone maybe? i m not telling anyone ; because they either get so happy im liking someone that they overdue the PUSH.(see above).ahem..or they'll shoot it down HARD

disk mode startup on the g5.then chose system startup and chose 10.3.6 on the pb..i hoped.
then shutdown g5(while still hooked to pb)then put the pb down..sat for 2,6 minutes...thought good thougts .started with C pressed.
and...grey ..screen....then i decided to pee and leave the room to give them ( the macs) some privacy...and VOILA...i am a genius( intuitive, anyway)
it was the eautiful blue mac login window...yeah.
funny though, all my scouring through apple support and so many with the same issue..yet i havent heard a word from apple. either onthe forums or via email.

im completely thrown . i feel like i got sucked into an anxiety vacuum(?) and i have lost all my good thoughts. i was very grumpy w/mw last night. it just pisses me off when i feel like this and i dont know how to express it to anyone.i guess i sorta expect him to get it. or something.
but, then dloh lightened the load, by taking me for thai food and entertaining me with stories from vegas, where he was at the porn (A.V.N) awards then stayed an extra day to go to vince surgery guy from motley crues wedding.
how perfectly rawkstar...the stories were sooo funny to me.
just dloh tlee( whom he had leave me a msg ...)
and nicky sixx...Yet d doesnt quite get a grip on his pull in that group. he's like "i dont know why they all talked to me' he REALLY doesnt understand .
its charming.
so other than that side swipe, i m in extreme LA lifestyle reflection.

hi! Gd morning. nice talk allison.
sorry.

( for my stock taking sanity)
im stuck in my head. mom is still in oc. dlohs home.
he and jk r friends again. thankGd. jk n elfber r enroute back from the vineyrad today.
murph has bad flu.
mom is drunk.
something shady ,it feels like, is going on with my former partners in crime.
30 percent of my anxiety is probably stemming from their odd behaviourz.
i m lonely right now.
not in a needy want be around people all the time annoying way.
just very underslept and overthought..i trully , for the first time in a long long time, feel like i would like to be
getting to know some kickass guy. i mean I KNOW lots of kickass guys...more than most ..But im little sister to all and none of them appeal to me at all..and i never get introduced to any of their kewl friends..cause its awkward being friends w/a girl f,i guess, if your a hollywood pimp like them. and the only other girls you know are dancers and mactress‘s.“LA MODELS’
Its funny the guys that actually are those id like to‘ know‘ahem..perhaps..bibliclly..( we’ll refer to this goup as ‘theSexmen” )

how eerie these last few days have been ,dont know if im correct in saying this..but it felt straight outta tha bible..if i knew what was in there...*** DISCLAIMER grew up w/liberal psuedo hippy parents.....my last biblical/ religious learning foray was my first communion(catholic) at age 6-
I use it as a cultural(?) reference...not an official quote or anything...
i digress...So,the wierd eerie tone of the past few days..was set when i flew to vegas with mom et kel and cs(?more on this addition to the vegas xmas group, later)-on xmas eve.
OH! and mom got lit before we flew...nice touch.i will post xmas in vegas at some point...but now i need to get more recent shit out...
eerie biblical refrence point 1)
flight home from vegas..we're about to land ..and we hit the knarliest storm ( that is still here now)..it was really crazy.
i got scared for the first time , in a plane..we were banking and dipping like we were in a cessna.
fucking scary...seeing we were in a boeing airbus..
i was sitting with an iranian doctor who kept us all calm ..-me by lecturing me on smoking.. as i the plane dips and drops and the fucking pilot sounds scared.....anyway
we landed safe-after an extra hour in the air...d picked me up...
ever since it has been terrential-Vancouver-style-rain w/ crazy thunder and lightning.
ex)A.1 my cable power heat and internet all out till this morning.
Ex.B)
snow in texas. real, stay on the ground snow..( verified cause dloh got stranded in austin enroute to his moms in corpus..)all weird.
BUT nothing in life could have prepared me for ex)c thisis a hollywood movie.feelings are similar , for me , as when 911 happened. just as baffling to me.
the postings ive read and the footage i have seen over the last 48 hours. people looking for relatives online..who were in thailand/indonesia/mynamar india...kraby and phuket. phi phi
pranang surit thani..Gawd , i didnt believe it at first, i thought mom was being dramatic ...i m so glad sim and d are in toronto. fuck.
mom got home from pakistan a week ago.
patrick s in hk ( he was somewhere last week when mom flew thru.pretty sure it was thlnd)
sim was born and raised in kraby town.
deirdre* lived there for soo long..i have such a funny feeling n my tummy
thinking about that place.. Last time i was there it was riddled in kids ... its all really bad.. rayleigh s probably gone.
i dont know what to do to be of service..i dont have money..but im going to call sim and see what he thinks is the best route of helping..then i ll post.
On the human being front -its scary and sad and devastating. too much to take in.-its almost a leveling of human mind going on , by force . nothing can matter but making sure everyones allright.and taking care of those that arent.
it our basic instinct.
bagdhad and all the shit that makes nosense to me..around me us you etc
all these incidents..nature and intentional ..the consequences..the destruction..the kids ..little little kids in baghdad eating hotdogs getting blownup,
it feels likea biblical tale some fire&brimstone preacher tells little kids will happen if they are bad or gay or something....
brutal.
i dont want to leave my house.

although i have lots to say i have lame finger skills right now.
i wish i could pour out tons of shit.
in regards to missing dad reference yesterday:
weird.. barnone..one of the hardest days i ve ever had with the issue of dad not being here
i was working, scanning a whole bunch..and i thought id throw a few of my pics in the mix, one's i'd meant to scan forever ,
well ,i scanning away-when i hitthis one and it was bizerre.
it scanned in so big and i could see my dads face and see how much i loved him even when i was that little,
fuck
fuck im balling again. this is nuts.
i guess it has to do with how much we loved xmas. he and i were way more into it than mom and patrick or anyone else.
we cut down the tree, put up the lights and chopped the wood.
shit.
i feel so lost now. i dont want it sound so hard and sappy. but i lost any tradition ( of the rockwellian sort)
when dad died.
fuck i mean im going to vegas for xmas.
dad. if you read this, thanks for giving me such cool xmas spirit. id even go to m-ss in ur honor..if i was anywhere near the skiiers chapel..but instead ill play the slots

thought my allergies were bad..tried to trick myself that at the bdb sale i was having allergies..but as it turned out on saturday -i was fluing again.
not too bad,just snotty.
strange events happened -not that they happened to me directly or that i even hangout w.those that did exp. these events...but thought alot about some friendships and how naive i am.
girls, and the way we are taught to deal with each other , can end up being fucking mean .
i feel fine and relieved that the obligations of certain friendships arent in my life.
but i still feel sad and disappointed.
but i am trying to not think too much....
Every 7 years, a friend said the other day in aemail, are when changes etc happen. the life cycles i guess.
7 years ago was dec 1997. living in "sober livingByTheSea' had been there since sept 4th.
first time since i was at strathcona park lodge doing outdoor leadership, that i had structure in my life.'
i liked it, i think, but i was getting restless.
my mom and dad came down for xmas. they came the 25th, iwent to mammoth with john for a couple days then met them.
it was weird and felt like they were visiting me at boardingschool or collegeor something.
back to present day, joe_on_the_fone had a surprise bday for jessica last night..went.
finally met dr's gf - she is dr's type(physically) to a T
apparently she is quite jealous, in general, so i have been cut out completely..save for last month or so..as it seems he is trying to get out of this thing.
fun cause i got to hang with rich, whom i always love visiting .
he is married with a baby boy living in malibu .
his wife is very interesting and i enjoy her alot-although she wasnt there lastnight, so i got alot of reminiscing and catchup time with richard roll.
he's funny
comparing his attitude to ..
cO'n arived and annoyed me terribly with condescending concern.
he is gay. he is the type that has always bugged me and i ve known this from my first visit with him.
i just forgot as hes been in NY for so long.now i remeber.
this sort of attitude is EXACTLY what has me out of the llop.
so i guess im grateful.
thanks cO'n
tonight ,for a rare sunday night change in events:
i'll be going to go to see the spazmaticks at DragonFly

most times i enjoy the super awesome silence at this hour.
usually its my favorite time of day.
but i am feeling like a girl who had too little sleep because the pilot light was out and the lock on the door is broken and i love my erly mornings and ilove excersisng right now..and because of aforementioned inconviences..i am freezing..exhausted and irratable that i have no energy to run my head chatter away.mutherfuck.
oh yeah and i m anoyed that i too tired to write more than th enext few blurbs about how amazing my evening was lat night:
this is monumental bizarro
b called early about dinner latelate -very vague, about who etc..but i say yes yes yes..
she texts later.. 9.cobras
i arrive late (yes,true)
but they aren't even seated .. just standing at the bar. drinking a bottle of white wine.
There's a friend of j's, whom i ve heard about forever , there- she seems .very nice ..i small talk with her...j and i do our banter with b playing in abit.
then i awkwardly- but with some new found confidence- ask "so.. should i be getting a redbull or a glass?"
j is NERVOUS and he straigtens his shoulders as he rolls into dad mode and saysquickly:" no.nope..i am not comfortable..yet.
ok?".."ok?u understand?" scared ..BUT stern.. pleading,if u will.
i say "i will respect your answer..but know iits essentially my descion- to respect you runreadiness.." and this is a LARGE moment for me...Cause in this relationship, i am the kid always..This was sassy and he starts trying to re-assert positions by immeadiatley asking"have u quit smoking ?"
i tell him i ve had 4 or something..him: "i asked u if you quit..have u quit?
'no..i have had only.."..he cuts in//w/a smile an dthis quip:
"ill accept your version of quit smoking if u accept my awkwardness ..and need for time before i see u drink."
huh? everyones tentatively laughing at the nonsense? wisdom...? logic? what the hell...
but i just look at the smirker and i say "yes" he laughs and i laugh .fer real.
oc looks kinda scared like:which one is crazy? or pissed or are they laughing for real?and what the fuck is this about???
j says 'im not making sense', i said, " im agreeing ..cause i know better than to argue your backasswerds logic"everyone laughs.but a much lighter relaxed version ..feeling the pressure shifting ..dropping..
i continue.."because i may look and feel smug or correct NOW..but you somehow end up 'right.. always.
so i say YES now to save the time" ..at this point the friend from oc is so confused.
probably thinks we all have some sex bsdm thing or somehing.
but we r all laughing..and i am feeling good. what looked like a power play moment was a way of j trying to protect his friendship with me-it was authentic & childlike protection.he was scared of losing this.just like i have been scared.
i understand now, i feel VERY loved in this moment and the dinner was so nice and full and long .
oh yeah...i almost forgot, as i went to order a coke..J told the guy to bring me a glass.
we broke bread fer real tonight.
i got to sit at the grownup table this evening.
it was cool.

some party in vegas. flying out on satrday back sunday am.
its free so i cant complain!

also watching dr doolittle.
i miss britishcolumbia when i see bears and mountains (presently in dr.dolittle )
its so funny how none of my friends here even know that as a kid we got picked up from school during 'bear season'
when we lived in whistler-I dont think theyd believe me. i never cared about these things when i lived there..now (in my mind) i feel like ms.grzzly.adams, because of it. in my mind, mind you. i still get a little tripped out when it gets dark and im above hollywood blvd. ha

went to the spazmatics show this evening
few errors in judgement were made on my part
note to self: do not bring drunk friends places u want to have fun
i spent more than half the evening doing damage control:
ie:apologizing for all the elbowing and general assinine behaviour
im so embarassed for them.
everyone should leave there shit at home
if coming to this show..or anywhere for that matter
despite it all..i had great time dancing etc.
spazmatics sounded particularilly good this eve
and k/m was cute as ever.
i was even getting courage to approach
but didnt due to drunk assholes having drama
-saw him walk in, though
u r way way cuter in 'normal' clothes
than i could have hoped.
this is frustrating.
i dont know....
i guess ill have unrequited crush from afar
forever .
cannot get over the atrocity of
of drunk assholes with me.ugh.
i actually felt like crying or punching something
when i left.i will go alone next time.
i cant get a grip on how people

dragonfly last night.

slimy drunk guys interrupting dance time
drunk dumb asses bug me to the nth degree.
they are so unaware of personal space
i dont think i got one full song worth of dancing without
having to move or being shoved or some dude grinning and touching
trying to 'dance' with me.
yuck.
allison j. celebrated her 'virginity' loss anniversary?
albeit a dubious celebration she got the killer present:
the singer madeout w/ her(onstage)..luckyduck
still confused as to emails i received.
sorta feel like im on a reality show and i made it into the final round
you or not you?- sent a reply this afternoon..which i responded to. we'll see.
gd hes sexy
this is a public service announcement for my crush
if u r the real deal, umm..

second)

( as u can readmine here..)
third)

spazmatics again . mj came , he loved it. so did tommy , but he left pretty quick- had an awesome visit with him, though. hes awe-sum
the lead singer is a stud.
he was macking on and being macked on all over the place.
ahh well.
such is the path of the rockstar..i dont know what sort of crack smoking delusional hypno spell i put myself under, fantasizing about nerd-cover-band-singer-dude, whom i thought was cute DESPITE the glaring facts : the whole "nerd" gear is part of an act, pornstars love the band and populate shows ..some undoubtably offer favours?AND ive never talked to?nor seen the guy out of costume.
-not to mention that i , of all people know what rockstars are 'afforded' once they have groupies- and these guys have em. what fun they are though. ill nurse my self out of this heartbreak to go see them again...that im sure of.
Well,at least im back in the crush market and not still shutdown completely anymore.
got to find new crushes.

almost died on friday night. fer real..no exaggeration.
dia and i were curious as to why so many cops were speeding(siren-less) by...So we decide to 'follow'
dumb move
we cut a block below them to delongpre.thinking we can 'see' whats going on , up on hollywood from there.
duh.
we run right into the cause of the cop brigade:
Huge guy comes flying (running) towards us..he hesitates when he sees us and goes in his pants to pullo ut his gun.
and starts angling towards us...as if to get in the car.
holy shit..i dont even really remember much of this..but i know i was trying desperatley to lock the doors(?) cept i just kept rolling down and up the windows and UNlocking the doors( ne w car..)
then the police were behind and infront and aabove (chopper)
and the 'fugitive' (or perp?) takes off - away from us..
then there is the screaming cops and we are frozen and inch forward and there is some big standoff to our right with more guys and guns drawn and i dont know what to do..one cop is screaming for us to get out of there..but there is no where to go till one guy see us and helps us back onto hollywood..and it was over.
woah.

spazmatics this eve .
duwde.they are so awesome..i think by my next statement i am officially proving the theory:"doesnt matter what he looks like..if he is in a band..chicks dig him"
the singer is hot.
flood pants to the upper belly neckbrace sex gawd.
i would luv to makeout with him ( not onstage), ... if you know me...this is a bold statement .
im very secretive and picky about who i like..which is usually no-one or someone ill never meet etc...
mostly because this one time :
i dated someone;
it was a long long time ago- but i can never forget what it felt like to
realize it was all a lie.yuck. awful. i believe people to easily-
but im sick of being 'safe' so im looking for a few good crushes..seems safe to start with this geeky one.
he must be straight ...no way he could emit that much hetro- hotness through that gear..probably has a girlfriend.
oh shit what do i know.
well i know 1 thing:
i do NOT know him,
yet.
watch out hot geek

RE-EDITwednesday night
dp and i went to 'the untitled jc' premiere at the silent movie theatre;awesome spot for parties premieres btw.great turnot and everyone seemed to love it. way to go jeff
afterwards( and a quick nie ab visit) ran out to my house- shot the shit.nice.
then went to the avalon to see the hip (thats the tragically hip-for noncanadians)
got there typical d and a style- hours late so that although on the list, we were not allowed in- they had 'shutdown'
.....but,shady as i am at times.. i faked almost crying so well....that the guy at the door snuck us in.
i cant believ i wasnt even going to go to this.....sweet dp set it up with df and got me there- she was excited to see the U2 of canada.
dude.
as we walked in - i had a birds eye view straight to gord downie -in his buttondwn shirt red bandana -doing his unique shuffly dance around to 'neworleans is sinkin'
fuck'in'eh. saw two leafs jersey's within 3 seconds of entering.
was so moved by the crowd and the performance. flet so canadian in a good(gay) way.
- all the stuff he sings about is what i feared never escaping- public radio -primeministers-englishness-cold -damp static memories- CBC intro music - 'as it happens' , memories of winter nights : my mom making tofu stirfry ,listening to barbara frum loud-as we set the table and begged silently to watch tv...differnt strokes,3's company..anything- rainy damp nights waiting for dad to come home so we could have him turn on the tv-only to realize it was saturday-not loveboat for us:it's hockey night in canada- don cherry-so depressing-
i wanted palmtrees skateboarding boys with tans and flippy white blonde hair.with names like todd-(morgan?)
none of these ski jacketed-stick yeilding -dull brown pastywhite canadian boys named gord or pierre,who smoked pot between hockey and soccer.
and listened to rush and iron maiden.ugh.
now i have a pit in my stomach...
But last night was a trip because it was like being at a reunion with a select few kids who got out.
everyone was reveling in each crtcmention of 'our parents prime minister" late breaking story on the CBC"
dia was fascinated.
she asked 'is this what a hockey game is like?" and all the boys in bball caps and button down over a tshirt
all cannadian getting drunk on beer and feeling the power of gords words& voice and the bands canadian awesome-ness.
we are the wheat kings and pretty things...
i had the shivers 309 times. and was randomly talking to people about it as though we all went to high school together.
it was hockey night at the avalon.

im not really either place. hmm..lets see paris's bday at spyder?
ornice mix.
home listening to peter gabriel and massive attack and koolkeith.organizing my files,
trying to finish a few jobs and write letters to those that owe me major monies.
i figure i ve tried the email..phone route- this might be ok. seem more official.
dl's last night was funny.
brought ur up there..she is so confidant its bizarre.
even tell-it-like-it-is was disarmed ..funny.
i didnt realize how much i missed helmi etc till this week.
i can never go this long w/out seeing the dawgs. nute kills me.look at him!?

i m having a *sugarmountain moment ..(dont get it? get edumacated here, and then heredont come back till u do get it..
k
so i ve been debating/desperatley needing a new desktop..its long overdue (prsent:g4 sawtooth AGP circa 2000) ive stuffed memory to the max and its worked soo well for 5yrs..but going from my pb to it ,to do anything other than grab files feels so tedious and slow....Anyway..i m perusing sites looking for ideas....new machine or upgrade hd ?
as i go through my apple seller bookmarks and am pricing options..i hit a site (no names-must protect those still innocent)
with a cute applelovers vibe.and i feel all safe and muse over how nice it is to be macbased and have these lil mom n pop shops who dont sell you bad memory etc they're just nice creative geeks up in vermont or the like...just like you in their mac loyalty/love....when i suddenly hit the wrong link..and get the exact same page... 'cept its the PC version..selling youthe same pc based gear written with the same m+p vibe.. then it floods me..
the last 9 mnths of frustration disillusionment and ultimate heartbreak..apple sold out.
my apple..the apple II makers.. who caused me to beg my way 2 computercamp in 1984... ..that i do what i do because of...they who i have invested all my money in....they whom i always fiercely defended and have converted so many non belivers to....
think different?
im starting to
they are betraying us..they are becoming the enemy..the safety net that we are special and different and a small *slightly smarter creative* group..all in this together.. if something bad happens....they will be there.
uh-uh
how about the support site. a fucking joke.
my first hint of dissilluisionment?
when i bought my latest pb i was a little embarrased by the .mac sales drive was just that..a little embarrasing ..like;oooh apple are u really trying to push 100 dollar 'membership' for a 15 mb email account and a tiny piece of timeshare on a server that you control?
i just justified it with: 'well...its a way for the kids to make some money to perfect some more cool stuff ...'
nope
the upgrade disasters are one thing..i trully am ok with bugs occuring...i actually used to revel in those first stages of stuff..knowing they loved us and trusted us to shaare our exps so they could be working on fix asap.
nope..not anymore.
they ignore me, persistent crap issues ? ..posts to forums on their PAID support site? .. they just silently ignore
drop 3400 in their store..figure out the printer u got doesnt work?
go back.( the same day)
not our problem.call the maunfacturer.
nice.
did you go to billgates charm school ?
apple is away from their desk right now..
too busy churning out new shit for the ipods
better faster more more more

these guys were wetting their pants
picture this: drive in in a huge expensve gross polluter of an suv..d and i both in denim miniskirts(planned-Nawt! ;actually only realized this upon reflection right now..)
d and i all focused and syched slinging words and q's referring to 'cap costa' and buy out price'..which we'd leared on the drive over.
..m with waspy bling look in full :linen 'slouchy-suit' luisvuitton bag and polite canadian inquisitivnes...yet disinterested enuff to cause george and his nigerian peers to think they had a mommy ready to write a check for whatever was gonna get her overaged brats out of the big-car-talk mode.(.in vannuys on sept 11 at 5pm of the hottest day of the year.)
who wrote this shit ?the script im living in.if nothing else, as i ve mentioned before..i can be a little existential on here and observe the absurdity...of my life.
to top it all offf we decided to go buy (not a spelling er billiondollahbabes sale.
i had succeeded in forgetting about this all weekend( it started thursday eve , i think?
but Nope...all of a sudden we r at the palladium and rifeling thru crazy shit...awesome overwhelming...not prepared at all..
walked around picking out things that were nessacary to my grossly unessacary unfilled consumer side.
Best save of the week: ex boyfriend was there..first person i saw...and it distracted me enough to do without getting manic about clothes fix.
he looked really good..happy relaxed sweet.
it was the nicest feeling to be in that banter of charged familiarness that only ex's bring up.
he seems trully happy.
right on.
i forgot what i like in life..what im passionate about.
lately,spent time thinking about some boyss and my relationship with them and seeing how it might be effecting my world and who enters...without malintent...but maybe hindering me nonetheless.
i always think im going to end up with booby prize..in the frienddept life dept .not consioscly think it...but its intrinsic i act as if i am not even in the running.
synchronsatic neil appears again..
who the fuck were the eels and where r they now and how come i didnt get to see them.

went to the vandals xmas show at the house of booze.
a few key things occured:
1-i was hit on by a very cute boy. not boy in the endearing way, either- boy as in he lives in winetca(?) abd is probably about 19-if im lucky.
gave me his # on a 5 dollar bill- cause he had no paper..
very sweet.
dan ackroyd stood in front of me- he is fat and creepy(but canadian,so ill forgive him)
the vandals were AWESOME. i had so much fun. what agreat show.
jf was super- the lead singer is hot.
afterwards went upstairs - saw paz- she was w/ ryeland- whom i hadnt seen in 3 years( never really knew-either...but lots of odd connections) and we all went out to eat -jf nicole paz ryeland jolie (my date) me and the rest of the band cme- but sat at differnt tables.

all for me.

worked on a graphic job all afternoon which is what inspired me to buy the wacom thingy.i realized what took me 4 hours could have taken 1.
if i dont like it ill give it to my cousin.
who, is living here- very nice to have him here. specially at christmas. have no idea whats going to happen for xmas. everything is setup -plane tickets etc...but .
talked to patrick last night.seems so far away and distant. bums me out.do not feel close tohim at all. his tone on the fone is so formal. yuck. i do not like the fone. probably why i lose so many of them. but that would mean i dont like cars either- seeing as how i lose so many car keys , too.

gl's bday party-sit down dinner at falcone...woah. i had a nice time-sat with a guy visiting from canada(victoria)very nice and cool.drove mel to a party downtown-ugh-then to feed the cats in bw.so nice here.so peacful-havent felt this much serenity in a long time-qat least since canada-so actually only a week.
dlo ie and ls went out to the funeral today-very sad.three suicides in ten days. mom is doing well-mtgs etc. i need to let this shit go- i cant function with htis chaos- yet i draw it in. i feel so conflicted .it is like watching a movie or a bad dream..cant control the outcome- just want everyone to be nice and happy. including myself.
i am happy- i love the people in my life. i have to remember this.especially when i feel like the world is caving in because everyone else is unhappy(seemingly)it is magic when i remember my happiness and am able to feel it amidst whatever is happening outside. but i know that i am staring to go back (or forwardor horizontal or whatvr0to the place of being in peace. i feel it tonight.

underword premier went w/ dlo to wes and heathers
then met ie and ls and the brkstr there. i sat outside the whole movie practically- it was cool looking just terrible seats in the front row to the left- killed my neck.
i am so glad ls came - we got to hang out and smoke while they watched. she is funny.and loves ie and makes him happy. what more could one ask for?
i wonder whn i will have that. i am so barricaded - i am readfy for some dude to just break thru the barricades(to quote bry adams)
and hiton me or something.
weirdly awful-good-necasserry week. alcoholism suicide record release disconnected-ness.
i feel conflicted and if step in the wrong spot i wil be blown up .
i cant believe the insensitivity-or actually way beyond insensitivity-self obsessed false postuering behaviour of some.
it sadens me to no end. i want things to be good and happy- moments like how i felt in qc. perfect able to be present feel joy in the moment and full odf love for evryone around me and gratitude for being where i was.
i dont think this is unattainable- i just think so many others think it is that i forget that i can be happy at any chosen moment. i am disatisfied with my life in many areas after coming back from canada- i want to be inspired to do authentic stuff that i love-from my cells-like those around me- but the problem is i think my path is about love and service - cause the only thing i thrive in -is listening and understanding and showing different ways to people. fuck- i dont know what i am talking about- i do know that i miss people again. i stopped missing people a long time ago- perhaps out of self protection and part outof having unmissable people around. but now i do ,imiss my dad. alot. i thought about him so much in canada it hurt my stomach . but i think the missing people is indicitive of a void in my llife- a lack of intimacy maybe- no i am intimate with a few people- i am definetly unguarded around 2 or 3 people- but never always and completely.
i am scared of being really close because then

soooo little i have posted this year. so much has been going on,too. we r almost one year married-sept.8th.wow.
i ahve applied for a c,too.went to lollapalooza this weekend- with m and dia and omo. fun. but really hot.
sat on the bus alot to keep cool. theband was really good. i felt proud of m.i guess ,although ,he has been doing this since way before iknew him- it's like(for me) having someone reach a really cool goal in their lives and you get to be part of it in support etc. i know he reached success etc along time befor i met him- but the universe put him in my life so i could see what it was like to be creating from the source and how it all affects so many people .sometimes i think the beauty of m is that he has no REAL idea how authentic he is. he has followed his dreams and let the universe lead him via his voice and lyrics-yet he struggles with people soo much and has such a childlike way of handling his 'fame' it's sweet, actually.
dlo is the same in many ways but because he has been overshadowed by the 'lead singer syndrome' for his whole career he doesnt see/feel his impact via fame - and so the sense of how much he is following his authentic path and how he affects the world is less obivious to him-its interseting being around these guys for this sort of observing-i try and figure out why i have these guys so deeply entrenched in my life...but it never comesclear.
if it was about me seeking to be around fame or whatever-i definetly wouldnt have drawn these heavymetal guys in- im more inclined to belive if it were about that -i would have people like lfb in my life...(j/k)
i am sure its for something more to do with authenticity despite postion socially -because i really forget who they are until i am at something like lollapalooza and they get on stage and i see the insane reactions from the crowd.it's disarming-but i forget 'who'they r to the world because of their attitudes not because of me..i am al to aware most times of social positioning and fame...it's these particular people who have come to be so important to me because they have never given me any moments EVER of sincerly being aware of their 'it' factors..i have more ego etc in my work than they do in theirs..and that is saying ALOT

it is almost getting ok to be living w/out AC. i have never been so crazy from the heat before- i was depressed and suffocated for a few days...wow. who woulda thought?dp and i have been out to the valley a couple times- got to hear the band rehearse. fun. jf has worn the same white suit for like 4 day s onsecutive- full white button down w/jacket pant hat and glasses...that is commitment. no washing of it or nuthing. hot.
i took jp and gf and friend to see the monkeys this eve. dlo was out but i got to see the dog and lily and he got along too well...alot of humping.
not very tired but very introspective. feel like change is on the horizon for me. i dont know in what form but something big.

how funy my life has become. or already was.i just get it now. like , i got it before....but only in a sarcastic selfeffacing scoff. now i belly laugh and feel rather tickled at times...by seemingly random events and characters that seem to sprout up so unexpectedly...just in the nic of time. before it felt like the joke was on me in a mean spirited way...and the cast of charcters around me were all almost always villians masquerading in cool down to earth clothing -now i see it is the opposite . i embrace these seeming villians. and they all seem to be turning out o be eerily famliar bundles of love tucked under the scary villian thing.
i guess ihad to live my first thirty years being the innocent who was disilluisioned and dissapointed all the time ...to become this somewhat guarded ,defensive and easily angered person to start being able to withstand the intial trials and tribulations that lead to the gold mines of human beings i have surounding me.
damn.feels good.
there isnt another shoe to drop...they all came off and i like my toughsouled barefoot exsitence that withstands the crunchy sharp rocks and gravel to eventually be standing in the warm silkysoft stuff.
it's cocktiail hour in my life.

girl u know its true...ohh ooh i love you. just imagine now i can sing this for your listening enjoyment- yeah blogger.
life is weoird these days - i am still married- for 7 months now- i am happy- my life is relatively simple, i see alot of ch these days whichh is turning into a great friendship. i got two cats..which is huge with me being a DOG kinda girl. mjk gave me two of his hairless wonders- mac and sushi-i'll post some pics soon. i'm a bit lonely as mw is away from home alot these days- but it s odd that when he is home on the weekends etc...i get annoyed and wish i had the space to myself again. i 'm weird. i had a crazy out of body dream last night i flew all over the place and really tried to get to certain places. i was also shooting down a track made of ice and packed snow on some sort of sled and i 'controlled' the course of the ride with positive thoughts....how weird am i now?

i m back-couldnt stand being away. i am about truth so i wont stop again. i had it out with someone -really brutally- i used anger and my hands to grab the person- i let three years of unresolved stuff boil over and if i learned anything from this incident,it was to process everything asap. and let shit go. let it go and forgive for real. i'm all about praying for my resentments to go the fuck away. i am sorry and sad that i was so harsh to this person- but if it is true that everything happens for a reason, then there must be a really good reason for this.
went to delux this eve- after eating with mjk and dia. fun dinner- fairly entertaining at the club- was supposed to meet ch -he stood me up- un real. oh well. no more help for his love life.
got to see cole and lfb and a few others i rarely see these days.
nice-few awkward moments but i let them go quickly and was able to fend off the ugly energies.
i am so stressed about landlord and mom.

and z and cousin and jam and bay and yargo and db all came over..ec , too. it was great. easy fun.
the only down ward moments were towards the end when i got sad. mom and dads anniversary today. i felt lonely etc.
gotta get over it though.bro just called from hongkong. feels so good to talk to him.
i am in the midst of being aware of my feelings and at the same time being ok with them. sorta. i am so tired of feeling this sadness. it is cool that i have tools to let it go and change myself ,so as to not HAVE to be a victinm of my emotions anymore. faith hope all of it.
i wonder when i will have my first baby.?
random thought it may seem..but seems to be a question i am asked more frequently ythese days and it makes me think about the whole deal ..after seeing tom and sarahs beautiful creation..i am more thoughtful and open to the idea of this.

i pray that she is ok and that there is resolution. and love and mmore fun times ahead for us-together.
i am not freaking out like i used to..maybe because i know she is more like a sister and i REMEBER all the sweet things i felt and she said and i still believe them..i am not ready to discard any of it.
except for mjk being a party of our lives .it will all woprk out becaus ei have let it go and and can envision the joy ahead and now.

as is so often with me in my lifetime..i have that free floating anxiety and fear of what comes next. like i want whatever is going to happen(bad or good) to HAPPEN already.
it feels overwhelming and is causing headaches and insomnia and fear based reactions and lack of concentration and hyper focus-all at once. i am crazy.
i feel like i have all this creative energy but no ability to channel it constantly or profitabley..either monetarily or emotionally or whatever..just spurts and stops and it is very very frustrating.
i am seeing TC today. hopefully we can start a plan to channel some of this.
paid all my bills and MAILED them..WOW.
i am astonishing myself.
my husband is working now.
amongst other things.went to df's mtg last night co spoke-he was great.ch was there with his girl. she looks sweet. he ignored me...?funny boy.

AUTHOR: a

-----
BODY:
worst case scenario : drive your car,full of Los Angeles based control freak passengers, on American thanksgiving weekend, in Southern california, to a rockshow in san diego.
- be sure that each of your above forementioned friends/passengers have a deadhead-like fondness for said rockband AND u are not only their chauffeur, but also their put-upon conduit - as in u know someone associated with said band and due solely to this fact... the passangers/ fans have extremely
(as in extremely unreasonable)
high expectations on YOU..and you , alone....
to insure them their VIP (aka:LA birthright no.3)staus at show .
k...got all that ?good...
Now..arrive in san di-LAme-go(town of show) and find your cell service is unavailble in the area -not one bar.?(the area being outside of 213/323/310)
wait ..it gets wayyyyy better:
>get to the ridiculous SweetValleyHighStyle college arena , where concert is being held and immeadiately get in a spat with your 'conduit' ( read: u r being an uptight bitch -stress?case-and ur are completely insensitive to friend, who is their to work.and you have a freakout on him. nice one creelman. sorry ykw.)
but never fear i am punished..., of course, becauses i now have a few fully bad dissapointed vibe frinds/ passengers( u recall them,right?..the 'not good out of their elements of style' hollyweird spoiled fan type group you transported)
THEN, at that key crucial 'LA.VIP' moment, when this gang expect to be escorted to the magical**after soiree**...you realize that you're missing your ONLY set of car keys.. its 3 am...And you have no credit card.....and no cell service.
and apparently: no friends at this point.
murphy law in full efect:
read on...
so obiviously.. 'fan/friends' haven't any empathy/sympathy/ apathy...I mean why would they ? u have not delivered the services required-
Being as such, they all flee in next departing cars....in their defense: only after they make sure u'r ok
Of course You are!~
because you've been dropped off in parking lot of a(30 dollars/ hour) motel...
where you stay -but dont sleep or brush teeth- and then find way to back to the parking structure where said vehicle is...not an easy feat,mind you -remember you have no cell service or cc...this is all in payphone and goodfaith-
but you get to keyless vehicle..and wait for triple A- for 5 hours - only to have them tell you that they wont/cant tow your car, cause of some highfalutin' keyless entry shit you nonothing of...so, you have another 2 hours wait for the paid(500 dollar) tow truck...get to dealership just as they close.....only to be told the key will take 1-2 weeks to be made...sweet jeezis----murphys law? mercury retrograde? (oH yeah..have PMS , also..)
Then have friends drive down in friday afternoon holiday southern california traffic to pick u up...and realize ( silently of course..at this point) you left your phone( that didnt have service in area) at the dealership.
all true.

gawd, am i really married??
how odd.
feel meloncholly. deep shame feelings stemming from isolation and feeling as though i am ditching out on my life. which is, not true.
i am realizing i adopt feelings that match situations..like old clothes i put on when i am sick..thinking they are part of the sickness. when in reality the clothes make me feel worse and allow me to wallow in the sickness feeling.
this make sense??
i am excited about nicole andi's plans to investigate the realities of the business we have talked about.

so after i got off thephonew/mjk last night and he'd told me about the phone call...i got an email from m.
it was relieving and upsetting.i responded and apologized for
not being a good friend to her.(?)..i havent heard back but i so want the truth to be told and for me not to be blamed for all this shit. it blows my mind that i am being blamed for everything. and really, i did nothing with a badintention. i invited m out to meet new people. i nevertold mjk about anything...she needs to look at ns for that.
i thought i was loving and kind to her and a. but i guess i did something that hurt them..for
them to be so angry with me. it blows my mind. i 'm not going to try and figure this out.it is too painful and old. i am sure of myself and my actions and intentions...and i dont need to be blamed for stuff i didnt do.

had migraines for the first time since i was in 3rd grade this weekend.yuck,nofun.
laying low and hibernating in the house.haventtalked to mw in 2 days ..feelsokay.hung out with jenb this am..that wasnice.. i tolsd her how i felt about a and m - i am going to call and see if they want to have a bday party for jen with me.
i willl wait till i feel less vurnerable.
i am so easily forgetting that i need tol ove people through their anger or hurt or frustration.
it's my only choice now.. but sometimes i slip into feeling leftout or whatever and i cant do that anymore.cause it never worked at helping me towards feeling better...it always made my life worse and dreary
now i dont want to hang on to familiar old feelings when things come up..i want to transcend everything and all situations with love.. i can do that- i can love everyone whole heartedly and authentically- just sometimes if people want to stay in their pain..i'll just slip away from them for the time being -not seek them out..i'll let those in that kind of self hating pain- come o me..if they wish..but i guess the only way to guard against energy and love drains.. i must use caution ..not withhold love..just move away from anger.

is it possible to love a part of someone and despise another..i dont thinkit's very healthy..but sometimes it is how i feel about my husband.i love him very much and maybe in some weird way..more than anyone..but i also cant stand the way he behaves sometimes and the weird insecure behaviour that he plays out ,of late.
i guess i have to love that part ESPECIALLY..i mean if i am trully on this path and wanting to expand my capacity for love i think this prospect is a perfect opener for this project. so, i must pray to see all of him with loving eyes and feel love in my heart for his many facets of personality

ns hil ls ie Very nice to see Ls as ie has seemingly sequestered her to his place for months ..it seems.
then monday...fairly chaos free...got mjk organized . he had lunch with dl -i did laundry. then ie and ls came up top the house and we loaded all the precious wine into my car. then i proceeded (with ls) to follow the boys in the porsche in the heat of the day thru brutal traffic to inglewood to the forum. ugh
mellow before the show dhl and al and mh came down.had an amazingly revealing and honest convo with al and mh
we had fun. hil and ns2 bought tix and met us there.
the actual show was perhaps one of the most amazing experiences in my life thus far. i felt small and overwhelmed and ecstatic and energized and loving and like a little kid and a parent all at the same time.
it's funny how i dont relate the person on stage to the mjk i know.the fans went WILD.
so proud.
got a post card from ch. must of sent it the day he left.
worked with cw all day ..dk came over and saved the day (or the book)
then met coleycole and mw and spent afternoon in the pool and eve at meeting...with hil and ns too. then dinner at the indian place ..

what a fucking night-cd called me at 6 30 and asked me to be the 2nd speaker at whatever..a mtg i am so scared of and about 100 or more people go to...then ch called and started mocking me and asking why i didnt tell him i was speaking.
i ended up in tears before i spoke..i was so worked up and nervous.
it sucked. then ch's ex gf came and gave me a hug and then as i spoke i felt so good and relxed and free.
jg was there, as was ah ad gk jam etc taylor..everyoe said amazing kind things before and after.....i cried on my walk home.
hard.
i felt like i really saw the light of day on things as i left that mtg and realized what i am capable of.
i may not be a career person with some big sucess...but i am sober and i am good at being sober. i am good at telling others about what it is like. and i am great at having fun in sobriety.
for all this i am grateful

this feels familiar. three woman..one being lala..me feeling as though i am being 'ambushed'
the truth is that i felt -(no matter how much pain and meaness L had caused me in the past )-i had to be there for her..as a sober woman and because of my own experience of being left out and how awful it is.
so i tried to maintain a relationship..but i wasnt completely honest with her, i was scared of her reactions to the truth.
she felt it and i guess the build upmade it worse. cause as of yesterday i am the official new enemy.
as i have been in the past.
i will not get into any victim role..i will not engage in any drama either.
my responsibilty as a sober woamn is to apologize for not telling her the truth about mjk etc.
i did that. now i am to never speak of it again, unlless with hs or ss.
need change . staying at the house wil be good.

its amazing how much i can fool myself and let my feelings become some sort of dictator of what i think i want. it is such a study in my fucked up past thinking. when i met the last oy i trully knew he wasnt the one..but i was going to pass some time with him..but once he became a little detached i was hooked on the behaviour and the feelings that were created for me..nothing to do with him as a person. it became obivous once i was out of it and realized how happy i am and how many hot cute guys there are that pay so much attention to me and are HEALTHY emotionally and dont have weird odepios like relations with much older crazy women.

nowhere to start.no more silverlake(ch). mjk is back. he rocks.
i stayed up there while he was in az thi weekend.
figured out soo many things its wild..the clarity i felt mixed with fear. no sadness though.
oddest part was the call i got this morn. as if he was trying to 'switch' the whole thing around..
i am so relieved and incredulous that it took me this long to realizei was lying to myself about how i felt about HIM. i felt alot of things that seemed to be around and about him...yet they were actually sorta addictive trickster feelings deeply rooted in my old thinking.
i transcended some pattern with ch. i am soo over the guy who stays in his apartment -nexttime i hear someone say to me..that "they don't really like people...' i am dropping any attempts at frienship etc...

Children of The Korn
I have never been one to particularly enjoy popcorn. As a matter of fact, the whole idea of corn sort of repulses me. I’m confronted with of images of Swanson’s fried chicken TV dinners where the corn was always cold while the drumstick sizzled and the brownie had bubbled up and stuck to the tin foil. Then there is the unpleasant Halloween flashback I have of a guy in the Greenwich Village parade wearing a Hefty bag with yellow balloons stuck to it. When I asked what he was supposed to be, I received the horrible news that he was “shit with corn stuck in it.”
Why then, I am forced to ask myself, have I been brought to the merciless edge of addiction by the Farmer’s Market phenom known as Kettle Korn?
It all began very innocently with a trip to the Hollywood Farmer’s Market accompanied by my mentor. She thought it’d be a nice outing where I could study orchids, find fresh produce, and stock my apartment with cheap flowers. Little did either of us know that I was about to unlock a jones that would torture me for many Sundays to come.
The non-descript booth occupied by Frontier Kettle Korn is not dissimilar to the many other food vendors along that particular row. Amidst the tamales, crepes, jambalaya, and fresh baked bread lies the gateway to my obsession. What sets Frontier apart, aside from the seemingly endless line of others waiting to cop the korn is their clever “free sample” strategy. One taste was all I needed to be off and running.
Unlike conventional movie or microwave popcorn, Kettle Korn is both salty and sweet--a flavoring which originates in the ominous black cauldron that fills the modest booth. Sugar and salt are continuously blended into the mixture which is stirred and shoveled by an enormous wooden spoon as individual kernels succumb to the heat and jump into the mouths of waiting babes...
Another of the sneaky tactics used by the purveyors of this habit forming treat are the insanely low prices and generous portions. A small bag ($3) is certainly enough to produce euphoria, while a medium ($5) is far more than any person should be left to consume alone. I have yet to journey into the dark insanity of the large bag ($6), but I can only assume it would certainly induce a coma.
Like any addiction, I dabbled at first. I bought just a small bag to enjoy while shopping and as an afternoon snack upon returning home. I was shocked to find that the entire bag was empty before I reached the parking lot. I stepped up to the medium bag by week two and while experiencing the harmless “Good Ship Lollie Pop” sickness from overindulging....I noticed by the third week that I was buying two bags so as to avoid the Wednesday night panic of knowing that it would be Sunday before I could get more.
I knew I was in trouble after endless bouts of disgust and aversion to even the words “kettle korn” were followed by periods of ferocious bingeing where even the seats of my car were checked possible stray kernels. How could I crave the culprit of such nauseating sugar highs? I had stopped eating regular meals and found myself having three Kettle Korn meals a day. I secretly wished I had another hand so as to enable myself to get more down in less time. I recalled stories I had heard of victims of corn liquor poisoning around Prohibition. I was headed for disaster. I had to go cold turkey. I noticed myself humming the tune, Jimmy crack corn, and I don’t care!!!!
A Sunday shopping excursion with one of my dearest friends and favorite shopping accomplices began with a sensible breakfast (she of a vegetable filled crepe and me of, oddly enough, a CORN tamale). We sussed out the finest cut flowers and freshest berries. We mulled over the hand-crafted jewelry and chatted with friends also enjoying the open market while enduring the torturous heat. It would only be a matter of time before we found ourselves waiting on the “korn man.” Two medium bags a piece and presto, we were both out only $10 each and feigning heat stroke as an excuse to hot foot it to the car and crack open the bags.
Moments later we found ourselves sitting in her car, air condition blasting, feverishly shoveling the stuff into our gullets. “How did we get here?” was the unspoken question which hung in the sweet smelling air. This was surely the definition of insanity. We didn’t talk for nearly 20 minutes before realizing in our full blown KKK*-induced haze that we had both hit the first of many kettle korn bottoms.
* KKK (kettle korn koma...see the dampfnoodle dictionary)
It's been weeks since that unfortunate incident and I cannot bring myself to go to the Farmer’s Market. Whenever friends mention it, I find myself wondering if they are holding. I’ve noticed that I’m eating out more, allowing the vegetables in my refrigerator to take on that slimy coat. I’ve stopped watering my houseplants and have left my orchids in the blazing sun for hours. Clearly, I’m plotting a relapse. Under the guise of feng shui and produce snobbery, I know its only a matter of time before I find myself bribing the parking attendant with promises of pomegranate lemonade in exchange for a spot closer to the Kettle Korn stand.

NIGHT RIDER
Is this a familiar scenario?
You re standing in line outside what you hear is a cool club and the doorman, who looks like a complete asshole, is nodding in people who are infinitely less cool than you. Everyone seems to fucking know the guy. The longer you wait, the more incensed you are that you’ve now definitely, officially joined the group of people who wait in line.
An anonymous Hollywood doorman extrodinnaire lends a few tips on “how to get past the asshole at the door”...
The basics.
Men should never come in groups. I do not care how many models you have with you.
Even if I seem rude, don’t get an attitude with me. I am trying to be polite and kind but some people are just not getting in. If you’re even thinking like this, you’re probably one of them.
If I tell you the Fire Marshall has shut us down, he has.
Clothes calls.
No cowboy hats….ever. This goes for women as well as men.
Dress your best. I don’t really care that much about your particular style or whether or not you’re trendy, but I can usually tell if you are looking your best.
Men will never get past me in shorts and sandals.
Acceptance is key.
Accept the fact that you’re not getting in. Many don’t--and almost nobody actually “talks” their way in.
If I tell you we are at capacity and it looks empty, that means I am waiting for other people that I know are coming. Feel free to wait but don’t try to keep talking to me.
Not everyone watches “Whose Line is it Anyway?”
If you’re really famous or just a celebrity of some kind and I don’t recognize you or you are afraid I won’t, have somebody else tell me who you are. Don’t tell me yourself. Don’t take it personally--I just don’t watch that much TV or read celebrity magazines. I’m generally more interested in music than TV or movies.
A “friend” isn’t someone you met in passing.
If you are really a friend of a friend of mine, make sure that my friend calls me before I’m working to let me know you’re coming. If you are a friend of anybody else—say, a celebrity--I don’t care unless you are with him/her.
I’m not in the entertainment industry and I don’t care if you are.
Don’t bother showing me your business card. I have no way of knowing if it’s real or not.
Please don’t tell me that you work at CAA, UTA, The Firm or any other agency or studio. The minute I hear that, I assume you are in the mailroom all day or fetch coffee for somebody who is already inside.
Je ne comprends pas.
Please make sure that your latest movie has U.S. release. I have never been to a movie in Paris or Moscow.
My vision is 20-20.
Don’t wave your hands or yell out my name (especially if you’re not sure you have it right). I see you.
Groups of women should not bother putting the pretty ones in front. I can see you all and don’t like beautiful women who think they have a better chance than the others.
Appearances can be deceiving.
Don’t bother threatening me. It’s part of my job not to be intimidated and I usually have very big security guards very nearby even if you don’t see them.
Cagey isn’t cute.
When I ask you whose guest list you are on, tell me. If you are on a guest list, you know it and I know that. If you are not on the guest list, tell me.
If the price is right...
If you’re going to offer me money, don’t try to palm it. Talk to me first--and don’t talk to me for less than $100 per person. I’m busy even if I don’t look busy.
Offer me sex and mean it. I know the difference.

Come Sale Away
The timing of the Fred Segal sale always takes me by surprise. "Already?" I ask, when someone casually mentions that F.S. has begun slashing prices by 50%. "I feel like I just went to that." Then I think about my closet and realize that whatever those got-to-have items were that I procured last year have already been stained, worn too much, never worn or given to Goodwill. (Even on zero budget, I tend to treat my closet the way most people do their vegetable drawer--a doesn't-look-so-good-anymore-better-toss-to-make-room-for-fresh-goods kind of attitude.
My F.S. routine starts with a first-weekend drive-by: I scan the array of skirts, shirts, dresses, jackets and pants, noting that even at half off, many of these items are the same price as say, a not particularly reliable car. I smile to myself as I watch two perfectly-dressed and tressed Asian women clutching goods and darting to the communal dressing rooms. "Ha!" I think. "Hope you're happy with your Costume National pants when I come back in a few days and get them for 75% off!"
Because that's where the exquisite torture really begins. Once Fred's given everyone a chance at half off, he turns up the volume and prices go to two-thirds off for at least five items. It is a delicious concept for someone like me--someone who cannot rent one movie without renting another, never mind that I only have a half hour. Someone who doesn't see the point in stopping at Virgin for a CD until I want two, who cannot sit at Lisa Nails unless I have at least three magazines in a stack. My philosophy is very much why get anything unless you get at least one more?
The beauty of Fred's arrangement is, of course, that you really get to believe--and I'm acknowledging that this sounds vaguely reminsicent of a Lucky's commercial--the more you spend, the more you save.
So yesterday when I found the brown Katyone Adeli pants that at first sight I knew I'd be wearing that night or the one after, the goal was simple: find four more things. Now. Fast. Suddenly I become convinced that everything I want is right at that very moment being tried on by the Asian women I spied over the weekend. They were smarter and faster than me! They stayed Saturday and have come back every day since! I go into full-on heart-racing, sweating, headache-building panic. Instantaneous isn't fast enough for me. I want to have tried on everything already but still get to have the experience of putting something on and realizing it's perfect. Vests, tanks, sundresses--nothing is off-limits to me as I grab enough clothing to dress an entire Midwestern town.
The relief that pours through me when I realize something doesn't fit is palpable. For me, the experience isn't unlike dating someone you know you shouldn't. It's like..."Phew, I knew he thought Shakespeare wrote movies or that funneling popcorn into the esophogus at a rapid-fire, ridiculously loud pace was somehow acceptable. I knew he was wrong for me." Clothes are tossed onto the ground rapidly, replaced by new ones. I'm hanging and handing my toss-offs off as if on an assembly line. "Borderline" plays in the background as I scan the jeans rack and see another girl turn to her friend and proclaim with a giddy look in her eye, "Now I'm really going to start shopping!" The friend squeals. They are experiencing shopper's high, that feeling usually followed by shopper's remorse. I slide a pair of jeans off the rack in silent judgment until I realize I'm singing along to "Borderline." We are all on the same drug.
Amidst the stacks of clothing, I find the jewels. Try on the Diane Von Furstenberg wrap-around and leave my safe haven of a dressing room. Look to the 19 extra salespeople the store has brought in for the sale. They couldn't care less about me and my DVF, they are not sycophantic salespeople working on commission who tell you that the Calvin Klein two-sizes-too-small dress looks fab. They are here because they know that taking on this gig means better access to the goods. They are not on my side. They probably want the DVF for themselves. Yet wouldn't they have already bought it? Like a good student of the Art of War, I take from them what I can, accepting their indifferent reaction at face value. I return to the dressing room, switch the DVF for something else, hang it back on its tag and return it to one of the indifferent part-timers with a smile.
Inevitably, I find three things I need to have. Three. Not five. Wait, four. I do what seems like my 49th lap around the store, grabbing potentials. What's 75% off of $3,000, I wonder, cursing my right brain's inability to deal. I really do need a gold lame belt with a star charm on the front, I realize. Don't I? Everyone needs a gold belt. Don't they? But it's $92--I don't spend $92 on a belt. But it's 75% off. Isn't 75% off of $92 practically free? The headache I felt coming on has officially settled in. I need the belt. And the Earl pants, even though I have that exact same color pants at home. The Juicy jean shirt may be a size small but Juicy is meant to be worn small. I will tell myself anything in order to reach the five item mark.
With a sigh, I drop my five items on the counter. When the total reaches $250, I realize that this money really could have taken care of the whole lack-of-a-fax-line-or-working-machine-in-my-apartment issue. But what does it matter? Juicy, Earl, Katyone and sunddress are all mine.
And who, after all, can really say when a gold lame belt will come in handy?

sad and illuminating at the same time.
i had a great day today. despite the weekend feelings of being sad and anxiety ridden
last night ch came over was quiet and stoic yet as nice as he could be..and we just lay around and fell asleep.
i went into my room eventually and he left. sort of sums up the relationship.
i guess i am bummed cause i would like more FROM HIM in particular. not just in a relationship..i want to share this shit with ch...and it doesnt seem to be the way it goes .

what is "nice authebntic and loving"?
for me it is NOT being resentful or cold or mean..it is being honest when u want something. no concealing.
using kind words when applicable. giving random thoughtful calls /emails compliments...easy.

i cant really believe this has happened again. this dreadful fucking feeling in my gut. but what i cant really trully belive is that i am ok. i am not without alot of perspective.i see it for what it is. not too personal. although the part of me that remembers sweetness and goodness in someones eyes ,that remembers the words said, and touches etc feels shitty. i am in the middle of a very odd situation. i have just spent the last few days trying to get resolve for me. and in doing so i had to analyze the facts:somehow i have allowed a person to believe that treating me like a i am not special...is ok. even if they are sleeping with me.
he has a lot going on..yes.but i am not a a very demanding person. a visit a phonecall a returned email ...whatever. common courtesy.geesh. i sound angry..but i dont think i am. just a bit sad.
it could all be so easy .and fun. and light. i am willing.
or i was willing , now i am done. its done. . i refuse to be part of this and feel like i am hanging in the corner..waiting to be invited somewhere. its weird.
the funny part is him trying to tell me how its all me?? and how i am acting crazy and all this insane talk

these are the questions posed to me from my linkdup pal through blogger insider.
1. What made you decide to quit smoking?
found out that it was all a lie....also,vanity and health and relationship with nonsmoker was getting touchy cause of my smoking.
How long had you been a smoker?
16 years
How long since your last one?
6 days
2. What is your favorite memory from your high school days?
alot of them. perhaps the evenings spent drinking at my parents skicabin with my gang of friends ...playing stupid drinking games and listening to ac/dc and the grateful dead...
3. Given that the universe is infinite, and God is also
infinite.......would you like a toasted tea cake?
huh? sure.....
4. Do you have a favorite food that you really enjoy cooking/baking?
stopped cooking and baking once i moved to la. occasionaly i make a scrambled egg thingy with an english muffin..
When you order out, what do you usually get?
indian or chinese.always .
5. Do you go back to Canada often?
1-2 times a year...havent been back in almost 10 months though.
6. Do you feel obligated to link to people that link to you? Why or why
not?
noone has linked to me -that i know of...so no pressure yet.
7. Other than blogging, what are your favorite online distractions?
looking for free cool scripts and doing my own personal pi work at google.
8. How would you compare your online friends to your 'real life' friends?
no 'onine only' friends.all are crossovers.
Are there any of your fellow bloggers you would like to meet in real life?
not particularily.
9. How long have you been online?
since 1993(on and off)
10. If I were to sign up for a Yoga class tomorrow, what's the best advice
you'd give me about what to look for and what to be ready for?
wear comfy clothes. ask people ,in your hood who have done yoga, who is a good instructor(ie: explains poses well..is gentle etc). figure out what your intention is for yoga...physical ?spiritual? emotional? all three?..do a little research and try a few different kinds..with an open mind.

sally and ns came over this afternoon, afer lala was here. had a great visit. then went to rodeo-ajp(NEWLY ENGAGED) picked me up and drove me there- he didnt go to the meeting. just came over and had a visit via the drive to the meeting...very sweet of him.
he seems very focused and happy- albeit confused about living in nyc for the long haul.
rodeo was pleasantly odd this eve. ch was pretty sweet and affectionate-which is highly unlike him.
cw was very nice to me too. she even hugged me, not that she isnt nice to me usually-its just i ve gotten the feeling she doesnt really like me that much
stacy spoke. she is unreal . i feel soo inspired to do love and service and work out my shit . live in the present and remember everythig else is an illusion

meeting ie and ajp and jlh @ rodeo.ch is saving seats for us.
2 seats anyway. mjk isnt coming to give ie his cake. -havent heard from him. i miss him though.
i wish i could mix him up with ie and ch and ajp and ykw and i would have the perfect mate.ch is having a hard hard time right now.
a really hard time. with business stuff. i am in sort of an awkward position of being too new in his life to have anything to offer him...i guess just being understanding etc. is all i can do.

sat with lala this afternoon and had an amazing chat. talked about the power of now book
and the moment. staying present.
it is an unique challenge...specially for me living here. in hollywood it is so about what is about to happen ...what you will do when it happens.
everything day to day is seemingly filler till we arrive at this particular moment. we are just passing ime till we become ....whatever. but its all an illusion. it is now that is precious. today. writing this and not dinner tonight and who will be at the party. all else outside of now isnt real. it a figment of my imagination. even when i have 'solid' plans i am still creating the illusion in my mind of how it will be.

went to ll w/the gammons . ns etc there. along with all of orange county, it seems. charming bunch-with extrodianary fashion sense...hmm.
fascinating ,really. to watch.
first there is the drama of attempting to get in the club and then if they are 'lucky' enough to get in
the interactions are hilarious.
there are those who think that everyone else is 'someone' and they are attempting to look cool while they try to figure out who the guy in the fur coat is...when he is actually a huntington beach kid who goes to a citycollege and drove up in a jetta , yet the girls in the po' boy caps and frankie b jeans spend the whole night trying to catch his eye...its awesome entertainment.
its bizarre.
i feel invisible,, in a good way.disassociated, is more what i feel. like i am an observer.

dinnerpart at 8 . here. should i have people sit on the floor ?
or put up the long tables...depends on how many people show up.i 'm excited that ap is coming. i havent seen him sooo long..
part of me wishes ch was coming....but its all good.i really love how lowkey and drama free this situation with him is.had a "talk' last night and it was, for me, perfect. as he hates that stuff as much as i.
wonder what this year will be like. last year at this time i was still with ykw everyday.

how about how i came here; well after traipsing about central america and mexico and colorado and asia attempting trying to find myself and the perfect "high"( at the same time?)..i ended up overdosing on a lethal injection of opiates and cocaine.at my parents home in vancouver.
whoops. so i was quickly whisked off to sunny southern california to a nice little rehab called "anacapa by the sea"
i , at first, claimed i was there for depression...i WAS not an addict.
funny how that changed when i started talking to the kids in there and exchanging 'war stories" of drug use and mine were far SUPERIOR(??) and with much higher risk than those around me...so i suceeded to the group(although not yet to myslef) that i was indeed an addict.

if there is such a line between insanity andd sane-ness...i sat in a room this evening where it would have been drawn.
from where i sat , in some what saness i watched across the floor as completely insane people spoke in ways that sort of made sense.
i spoke at a meeting and the sharing afterwards was like a scene from one flew over the cukcoos nest
really and trully
i had to bite my cheeks so hard in order not to laugh as i listened.
but the laughter i felt was just surface- because as i listened to these souls i heard and understood how they got to where they were this evening
scary.
like if i stepped across this line i would be right there with them quickly and easily.

great- it rained and sounded cool very small venue-apparently mjk got stung by a bee in the middle of a song...
justin was pelted with shoes..
but it sounded great to us.
then to the hotel- amazing secluded palatial space with our own beach and dolphin pool -room nrxt to mjk and j.
sat around and chatted that eve. talked with robin for a long time- she was so cool. although she asked a lot about how i knew lorenzo...i was just honest and she was so sweet about it all- i guess l's gf is her best friend.
the next day we ate swam relaxed shopped..then met everyone for a big end of the tour dinner at some fancy restaurant- very nice and fun dinner- the wine looked good though..

how do i get to a place of prespective.

i feel lost in a sea of my own life and i am floating aimlessly towards i don't know land and that terrifies me.

saw et , finally met her friend robin, seems very nice, she is coming to hawaii ,also.
lots of others there- l 's girlfriend was there with robin, - didn't introduce my self, though-sortof avoided that whole deal.no drama, thanx. ie talked to her for a long time - i just avoided and talked to hawk the whole time.
i am so looking forward to hawaii. i realize i have been celebate and single for almost a year. it is so great in so many ways- but also , last night when ie went to get me a coke , i realized how nice it would be to have a "partner" to do stuf with all the time. i guess ie and lel are like that , but it is different.

dk was there.
lel 's dad is in a coma-had a very bad motorcycle accident and lel was at the hospital all day-met him at swingers later- feel so sad for him-describing the dynamic of being in the hospital and stuff made me really sad about my dad.i wonder what it would be like if my dad was alive now- would he be down here visiting me alot?
would mom be sober?
weird to think about that.
i still think about L sometimes- a year ago now (?) we were spending sooo much time together- what a fucking cool period that was.
i realize , now, that what i loved about it was having someone see me...really see me.
and spending so much time talking with another person who wasn't related to my LA life- felt like i had known him forever..or something.
hmm.weird life.
i've begun a process in my life of letting go of soo much shit and i am just realizing it, now. i feel like i want to down size even more- i purged all my excess shit form my house this weekend and have purged so much else over the last few months- feels clean and easy right now.
my life, that is.-no car -no relationship-(of the romantic variety)
wild . i am totally free of this strain and social maintainence i used to feel.

seems i don't have anything interesting to write about..so i'm going into my archives.
when i was thirteen i remeber going over to michelle siemens house, a 3 bus away neighbourood, and her parents were in the middle of a divorce so we had free reign at her mom's-cause she was depressed and not really around. i remember thinking they seemed different-as though they were from the states : always allowed to watch tv and eat whatever they wanted ,their house decorated like a sitcom.
we congregated in her basement(foreign concept- as we never had a house with a basement..)
and i was seated in a chair with shawn clements- he liked me and i think we were 'going around' or something--all i recall is turning my head and him kissing me somewhat awkwardly-and sticking his tongue in my mouth- we sat in the chair ,sides touching as we madeout for, like ,20 minutes and everyone around us talked and laughed and the whole time i was mortifyed and wanted to stop-but i believed this was what i was supposed to do.. hmmm.
next time i madeout was with brock grey...didn't ike him very much but liked the feelings induced from kissing him.
he bought me a bob marley cd and smoked pot and carried me over the puddles on the way home from the mall.
then it was scott mackenzie-didn't really like him either- same with jason dewolfe- i just took the kissing where i could get it.
hmm..mini slut i guess.

i live in a tri plex-an old art deco style house converterd into 3 apartments...my upstairs neighbours have changed alot in last few years- but presently it is a nice couple, whom i know through a few degrees of seperation...and in front is the rosenfelds. this is a predominatly hassidic neigbourhood and they are hassids. awesome young family consisting of abe, leah and their three kids: isaac goldie and sari..7, 5 and 3.
behind us there is this sad family with a dad and two kids-the dad is obiviously a drug addict or something and his son, marcus is a troubled young man of about 16, who finds refuge over here-walking my dog or playing bb with issac.
as i was sitting in bed earlier today..(my bedroom sits at the back of the house with my windows opening to the garge/bb court area..) i listened as abe instructed his rabbi friends in building their 'sukkas' for the religious holiday that is upon them( from what i can tell this particular holiday consists of a lot of drinking inside this 'sukkas' thing they build )
and marcus instructing issac on his shot and sari being bossed around by goldie as they played house...all while the boys next door recorded there album for all to hear.

BODY:
not having a tv is good- i was at ie's all day yesterday glued to it.
today feels more comfortable(my thinking, that is..)i am less scattered and more "in my body' -if you will..
i guess the events of yesterday ,the HOROR of what happened, has sunk in somewhat- what i am really aware of right now is my foreigner-ness. i am having intense feelings to some of my closest friends reactions to it.
their seeming ignornance about intolarence and how the US is viewed.
i am NOT saying it is justifyed action on the US - it is definetly a henious inhumane violent terrible horrible tragic situation ....i am just aware of the fact that i am not born and raised here-and i have picked up a lot of perspective on how others see the us.
most of my family/friends in LA and ny haven't had the opportunity to spend anytime outside of the western world for any lenghts of time and they get most of their ideas from cnn.
not that there is anything wrong with any of this-it's just very interesting...
madeline Albright is amazing - hearing her speech yesterday made me feel a little hope for some peaceful moments-most of the other senators etc. were very quick and angr- she was thoughtful and open about grieving .
before she spoke of anger and retaliation she talked about the victims and families and devastation...and how the world needs to retaliate-with the us-to honor democract and all it has brung us.
it's sometimes hard to realize an event like this could effect anyone and everyone DIRECTLY

seems so pious to think about filling in the details of my life over the last few days- today seems like a dream- the first call i got was from ie at 6;50am then i went to the lc and it was weird. eerie and grey...which in and of itself isn't wierd,because the weather has been grey for a few days, but this am-prior to knowing what had happened, i noticed how light and cool the sky looked-all pink clouds on blue pre-sunrise sky...(red sky in morning..sailor take warning?)
everyone around me tday has had different reactions to this. i feel overwhelmed and powerless and scared and sad and ...odd. sorta like the day jord died. like i am in a dream and i can't quite grasp the totality of it all .
tired now-felt like a long ass day.

BODY:
haven't written in so long-things are weird-good weird, i guess.
i have noticed how much i have actually changed through this past year . i mean i know i 'grew' or whatever.
but i am aware that , organically , i am different-my actual responses and actions and motivating factors are totally new and different.
my experiences over the last year have caused me to be very unattached and able to see through certain behaviours-
i don't believe people like i used to.
i am completely protective of myself.
i really do know what's best for my heart etc.
in friendships and romantic entanglements.
i feel a little sad- as though i just woke up and i'm not a kid any more.
but somehow i am putting out some sort of energy that is attracting very interesting and cool relationships.
i really like the people around me-
i feel excited about the day when i wake up=such a good feeling.
i remember someone saying to me once that all they wanted was to wake up happy
and when they said it-it totally broke my heart -i remeber feeling so sad for them-but then i also remember feeling the exact same thing in march ...
and now i am again
waking up happy, that is..
certain areas that inotice indelible marks of the last few years are: the way i deal with my own resentments-like i know they are petty as soon i feel them come up-there is almost no time between the grumpythought/then
the resolution of letting it go.
i am tired of feeling like a child..hurt by peoples judements.
it is my 'dharma' to be judged -and i can still live the life i want and be happy EVEn if people don't like me or talk shitty stupid lies gossipy stuff about me and my life.

When you put a cargo on board a ship, you
make that venture on trust,
For you know not whether you will be drowned
or come safe to land.
If you say, "I will not embark till I am
certain of my fate," then you will do no
trade. The secret of these two destinies
is never disclosed.
The faint-hearted merchant neither gains nor
loses, nay he loses: one must take fire
in order to get light.
Since all affairs turn upon hope, surely
Faith is the best object of hope, for
thereby you win salvation. (RUMI)

lak 's life is exploding-she is going on 20/20 next week and they want to make a movie of her book.
so crazy.
i am at a crossroads-don't know where i want to be. asking for signs from the universe, but i am missing them or they aren't coming in.
though,i have felt remarkabley lighter after writing email to ykw.
it was bothering me so much to hear third party versions of what he/ i said did ...i felt victimized, which i guess was useless, and then i just woke up the other morning, after shutting it out of my thoughts and life for weeks-and i knew tha i had to "right' my part and let him know i wasn't unregretful or whatever...basically that i was sorry for confusion i caused by listening to thierd party advice and allegations and basing my opinions on those.
because our whole friendship was so private and special and intimate i guess i felt so shocked when i was laid into ,by that other person, who made me feel as though i had intenionally hurt and betryaed her friend, whom i didn't know then and don't know now.
i felt slandered and unsafe and manipulated and pumped for information-which is all true-but i let those feelings taint my friendship with ykw, when i guess, essemtially he was in the same boat ..
ahh wwell. allit boils down to for me is this: i realize how short and precious life is and how important it is to protect myself from other people.

as insane as he is, i guess i am too, because i get him on certain levels, that others do not.
boys and i are a weird topic. i feel like i am in a holding pattern- i'm not looking for real an di don't feel the need to just hook up with anyone. i am sussing it all out., i guess.

at the party i found myself becoming grateful for not having to be that way-super seeking love attention money whatever.
the way they al dress is so uninspiring and unoriginal-makes it hard to tell the difference between them all.

spent the am at lc then norm's everthing seems to be changing round me-yet not me. i am feeling great.
confidant and healthy and hopeful-went for a walk with leland up runyon-with dogs, now going to speak at a meeting.bliss cafe?
last night i ate dinner with bw-he's back from nyc. great to see him-although he was exhausted from lack of sleep.
wnet to hc with ab for a while-we had such a nice visit. feel as though he trully knows me. rare and safe feeling for me.
mi is having a tough time due to a situation she was put in on the 4th. really seems to have shaken her world up.
jb was with us for breakfast this am-so good to have her around-if only for a few weeks(she goes back to ny to start the show again in a couple of days..)
don't miss a or z at all anymore-feel unburdened-finally free of the fear that i wa s put under by being scared of walking on someones toes....

unbelievable weekend. drove up the pch, to montecito-so amazing- with mom and jen .
arrived at the ranch around 3pm. lots of people there, setting up for dinner that night and weddding the next day.
beautiful spot.have to post pictures.
went and got our hotel, in montecito. nice-got ready and went back up to the ranch and had a mexican fiesta style dinner. talked with joey wrights mom and jamie corthalls mom. weird. they are both getting married.
had an early night . then the next day we went to sb -shopping on state street etc. mom and i both got clothes for the wedding.then to the wedding.
the wedding was the most beautiful and touch ing things i have ever experienced...a couple things happened and were said to me that altered my entire thought process.
it was very informal.
the thing that has struck me is this: i went up there as a family obligation and my heart and head were full of thoughts about how perplexed i have been about love and romance and how solitary i feel and not open to anyone or anyhthing-in that frontier.
- on the drive up , jen told me about her experiencesf over the last few years(unprovoked and without her knowing anything about my thoughts in this area or my experiences..)
she told me how she was all good with being single till lately and she started to feel sad and a little lonely...then she proceeded to tell me the coolest love story that is happenning to her RIGHTNOW.
it was so cool . but of course i thought nothing of it-just happy for her and still wondering if or when this would happen in my life...off we go the wedding and i am introduced to a girl named jill , who lives on quadra island and she (once again completely unprovoked) tells me about her amazing love story that she is having -over the last month-
so i start seeing a little synchronic action here , like the universe is giving some beautiful examples...
then at he ceremony-they read a poem that floors me...it feels like it was written to me.
i am so aware of thr fact that i was given direct signs this weekend that things are good and there is true love and it is available to all who seek it.
i dunno, it may seem cheesy , but it felt so poignant after the last 6 months of soul searching and felling sad about things in general.
the poem on my index page.it kills me.

dk came over and hung out this eve. nice to see him. walked the dog-went up the street and met p with ss mj jo and mi-went to jones's for dinner and then i went to ns's to help plan his trip.
he's so funny. very much a perfectionist, i think.
feel alright, albeit a bit sleepy.
i understand so much about my feelings that have come up this past few months-awesome talk with ss. i see that i was doubting my self and my own process-and i have become so mis trusting for whatever reasons. BUT i am not mistrusting- i believe people aand there isn't anything bad about that.
i say things to others, sometimes that shock me...as in advice that comes from my mouth regarding life or love or whatever and as i hear myself say it- irealize i must listen to myself more often...i am becoming a person that i like ...if that makes any sense..i'm so punchy.
i guess i am coming out of this intropespective period and reaping some beneifits from it

just when i feel good and as though i am over all past grievances-i get hit with something from left field.
ran into vh on larchmont and came across the fact that we both knew someone in common and she was seriously crushing on him...ykw. god, i felt so weird and icky. it made me feel sad.
i am over it-i just haven't had to share this area with anyone i know... now she seems to have ..well whatever it all doesn't matter anymore-he hates me and i know the truth. it's nothing more than the facts.
i guess ijust thought it was a special thing between us and from what she says -they have the exact same thing..that is what makes me sad-as the whole thing took so long for me to rectify..i had it down to the fact that we had that time together for whatever reasons and the gift was the shaft of light that peeked in when we were together-the whole passing in the night thing but more 'poetic' whatever-i guess not.

went to motorola dumb stoopid party. giftbags were just ok. party =lame.
went twith ad. so we had fun chatting-she is definetly good partner for these sorts of things, cause we can both talk alot and entertain ourselves...good quality.
walked down to the boys house t]after the party-borrowed mj's truck for the am.
still don't know what i want to get-what i can get is more like it...
we'll see. i need to pay bills tomorrow morning then work work work
all of a suddden i have so many jobs at once.

jaded and mistrusting- letting my guard down soo much this last time caused a bigger wound than i first realized still needs time to heal..i guess(?)

weird shit. i just called jf to tell him that i got a new dog ...(oh yeah , i took the dog."max"..he is the cutest sweetest golden/setter mix..he's max 2) So i call him in ny all excited and he's fine and pleasant (pleasant as he can possibly be..)anyway, he asks if a friend , who is on their way to ny to go 'work' for him, can come by and get some of his stuff.right away it's odd; our relationship started with me going out there to work for him...i know how he operates..and he's sounding nervous. he tells me one too many times that she is an old friend he has known forever..etc(i didn't ask..)anyway, so she comes over and she is definetly nervous and emitting all the signs of someone who is sleeping with your ex..funny thing is i don't care, i thought it was funny , actually...i was fascinated more than anything; to see what she looked like etc. Anyway, i am still sorta tripped out, but she was very nice(despite being very nervous)and cute in that anti-cute way.
Max- the dog-is staying with me for a month - i am enchanted by him , i just wish i wasn't sick . i really feel weak and crappy. shaky and stuff. hmm. i took tons of echinacea and juice and other shit.
oh-cuteboy from saturday was there this morning and he was totlally playing some other girl-didn't give me the time of day.NEXT?

slept till 2;30 pm today-short bursts of waking up- but felts sick i couldn''t move. reminds me of when i was living in mexico and i would wake up and feel hollow and beyond hungover-probably after i had done c or h or some crazy pills all the prevoius day/night. and today i feel the same way. 4 years w/no drugs/booze later, go figure.
i guess my body is really rundown from lack of excersice and smoking again and general poor eating habits.
so i went to trader joes and bought tons of comforty food: teas and juices and wheatfree raison bread and almondbutter and REAL butter(mmmn)and ginger snaps and tortilla chips and garlickysalsa.
i can't believe how cheap it is there.compared to erewhon. it's crazy
Some lady in the store was really nasty to me and almost made me cry. i think she was drunk or something. she yelled at me for openng one the fridge doors on her leg and told me to "fucking wakeup and get a life"(!!!!!)
i am so tired and sick that i took it soo personally.
all i said back was "whaat?' and then "god bless you "
i don't know where that came from, but at least i didn't say "go fuck yourself crazy be-otch"
my instincts are getting kinder, i guess.
i think this sickness is tied in with my period, too. i have not felt this incapcitated by it in a long time.
it's kinda nice having the sick excuse. feel justified in staying home etc.
have mini sunday blahs, though..mostly from sleeping so late. makes me feel like a drug addict.
also ..(while i am rambling like this..) i had an overwhelming urge to call ykw and yell at him , as i was inline at TJ's.
i don't know what i was going to say, but somthing GOOD-glad i didn't though.

it was an odd ccrowd. but i liked it. felt sick though, so sv walked me home and here i am.writing to youse.i feel weird. good weird.like my life is about to change drastically.to quote beck"things are gonna change..i can feel it"

- buddah bar III-morning becomes ecletic live-daft punk-rushmore soundtrack(for the faces song, mostly)
thouroughly enjoying 'em all, i am.
i miss my dad right now. not in asad way, just a meloncholly way. the time of year etc.i can't believe it has been almost 2 years since he died

i base everything i think i know about semi-strangers (ie neighbours i don't know beyond hello..) on my judgmental perceptions...my filters through which I see the world ...and what i'm getting at is:

ajp sent me a very sweet email and we are having dinner at the restaurant w/lak and jq.i have to pretend that i don't know they are doing 'it'..could be funny-.wonder who else will be at the table.
thinking alot about ykw right now. just miss his humour and companionship. shit , i could almost cry , but not quite.
don't feel obsessed with the 'why's'anymore..just a little sad at the outcome's resulting absense.
it's the time of day..just before sundown , when i would usually be getting ready to hangout w/him.i was always so pleased to see him
never failed. i just got happy being around him-i don't know if i've ever had that before. that's probably the reason that i am having so much difficulty getting over it.

mf MADE my night. he showed me ...and everyone else. (with all sincerety)..how he applies his wrinkle cream for his crows feet..- apparently used to be quite bad and have remarkabley lessened with his daily applications of said 'wonder'cream. it was an excellent moment.

so many thngs to think about. i was so excited to go see my cousin dj this eve.,then i called to find out what time and he said it was cancelled.fuck. i thought it would be a new fun place to meet cool people. i guess not. and my reg. thursday night date is off due to ab working a maxim party. maybe i'll go to that.not. i can't think of anything worse than being at a function tonight with all those scenesters. not into it at present. ykw emailed me the lamest email ever the other night. now, he doesn't even respond to my emails. he waits about a week after i send one and then he writes a little prefunctionary note about nothing.what hurts the most and is still needling me is; he acts like we never connected the way we did. like i made it all up in my head.
i thought i'd found a real friend.he sux.i guessi have to forgive him ,though and myself in order to move on.
i only know i have to do this because of advising other people to do the same with their situations. i mean if i keep being set back by him and his lacks i am not a very good example to those i try to help or those that seek my advice am i?

wrong. she hasn't spoken to me in 5 years. nothing. - she hated me so very much that when i got sober , i was too freaked of her ire to even attempt to make amends to her.
but see, after all that has gone down in the last few months with my friends here..i decided i needed to get over it and find her and apologize for being a drugaddicted badbadbad friend.mostly because i'm sick of the cycle i fallinto with women friends-thinking it's great then stopping trusting them then believing i did something wrong and dropping out of their lives-all because of this inbred belief that i am a bad friend and i am not. -not anymore. i was with her though. and that is why i need to clean up my past shit so i can start being a better friend and stop doubting myself.

some ideas..a journal about being 'sober' in your twenties..nah , if anyone were to read this then i would be breaking anonimyty(sp?) all over the place.

last night, although exhausted beyond beyond, i had the nicest dinner w/ ss. she and s broke up and it seems like a really good thing. it was just one of those relationships that i thought(judgmental me) was 'off'. they were both awesome. but he is so much older and she didn't see how great she was. or something. anyway...
.. after dinner at the restaurant. we went to g's. it was dead when we got there. and i only wanted to go to see if the french boy was there. i stayed till it was packed beyond belief ( with all the tacky types,mostly) and went home at 12:30. no french boy-was going to get up and go to the cabin, but didn't quite make it. nice morning though. coffee bean sunshine reading new blogs of random people. Actually, i started reading this one girl's and it really freaked me out, as she sounded so much like me from years past..like when i was in the throws of it all with todd etc. it was so sad to read. she is doing all the bargaining shit i did. like if she lived somewhere else it would all be better..if she could just ignore the mean assholes around her, she'd be okay etc etc.
yuck
makes me sooo damn grateful for the life i have today.
also, brent called and he is so fucked up. it's knarly. he is always high when he calls and acts like he's not. even at 10 am - he is high.

my life is getting so weird. i went to the lc this am, had breakfast w/michelle and her 'gang' of friends.
as i sat in the cabin , i thught abut being where i am . this place in my head . it's definetly a differentt state of mind than any i have known.
meaning i don't care that i am not in contact with my old 'group'. i am finding this nonattachment relieving and although i am lonely and bored at times -.
it is giving me a perspective on who i trully am. and who i want to become.
i think that i want to find my true right path in the world and work is the starting point. teaching myself these new programs is a step in the right direction, if only for my enjoyment at present.
i guess the signs that those 'others' -as i 'll now refer to my old group of friends-were not helping me were always there. i just chose to ignore them.it can be so much easier to hang out with assholes sometimes , if only because you don't have to look at your own life due to judging everyone else.
i guess i was just ready to start activating my destiny.

it's sunday. international day of depression. why?
it 's the intrinsic sense of impending drudgery from 13school years of monday mornings.
what else.?
i wonder if ishould go to the 'party' at les duex tom. eve. i went last week, but i was feeling incredibly unsocial.
always abad move to go out in that state.adds fuel to peoples fire of judgement
i want to have acrush on sum boy.
there is the french one. but it seems so far fetched.

i am so overjoyed to have figured out how to post this to my site that i have no idea what to write
it's sunday april 22nd. last night marked the beg. of my 'saturn return'(what??!!)
i 'll be 30..in 39 days. holy shit that's unbelievable.
i live alone(finally)
i am working
sort of
more like, i am working on woking
formulating outlets for myself.
i feel confused about my 'social' life at present
i am the least social i have ever been
ever ever-isolater, i am..
no that's not right either.
i just don't understand what has happened with it all.
or what it was, i guess.
obiviuosly it (my social life..)was not based in much substance..for it to have vanished so quick
the 'real' parts of my life are so clear to me.
i am having a spiritual awakening as i write this..
i mean: i am realizing that what i was asking for, from the universe was:who/what is real in my life
and i have got it. i just didn't expect so many to slip away.so many i 'took 4 granted' were going to be there(here)
i believed in too much , didn't look at signs.hmm.
what i see right now is the beginning of clarity.or clearness.
knowing what i want for once in my life -and acting on it.
