weighed down

 on the seventh day i rest
for a minute or two
then back on my feet to call for you
too much time spent on nothing
waiting for a moment to arise
i wait for him to catch me

The Close

the shit is about to hit the fan.
i'm ignoring all the warning signs.
don't turn the lights on.

fear the beard

human beings are not well served by permanence or stasis. Obviously, if individuals are progressing, they are undergoing a series of presumably desirable alterations, but in a universe where flux is fundamental, it can be argued that even change for the worse is preferable to no change at all. Isn't fixity the hallmark of the living dead?

liquid courage, you sneaky monster

O mellow my dreams you've gone away
O empty belly it's good to see you
O my dreams of these quiet people
O you and me dancing on my grave.

But oh lord, I know what I've done
And oh lord, I ain't afraid.

no mas moss

bad and bad, good and good.  i guess at the end it doesn't really mean anything anyways.  it evens out or it doesn't.  end of story.

i'm heading over to nightlife tonight to talk with mr. mcknight and see andrew's band.  tonight could be a great night.  i just need to tear myself away from the television.  the lure of anthony bourdain's no reservations is so difficult to resist!

Rough Patch

I've been feeling like I'm in some kind of dream lately.  Everything's a little skewed and I can't seem to get my thoughts straight.  I've always been a fan of surrealism, but not like this.  There is a lethargy that has swallowed me whole and I cannot find the motivation to create anything from the innards of this fiend.  I guess I should remind myself not to take life so seriously and that this, like all things, will pass.


Also, some bird took an eagle sized shit right on the hood of my car.

Dying young

I don't really know what words I want to say right now.  I know I'm not the only one feeling this way, but that doesn't seem to make it any easier.  I may not have been very close with Nick or Robby, but it's really hard to come to terms with the fact that I will never see or speak to either of them again.  I can't seem to shake these feelings, especially being here at work, where i see them almost every day.  My hands are shaking and I don't think I'll ever be able to walk into this building again without remembering that I won't see Nick or Robby here.  But I have great memories of them, and that's what I'll hold on to.  They were too young.

Partie Deux d'intoxication Alimentaire

Oh red tide and the effects you've had on my life.

After enjoying a two week hiatus from class, I couldn't be more thrilled to return on Monday.  It was fate that over this break, San Francisco decided to give us the only hot weather of the season.  I behaved accordingly and went absolutely crazy in the heat.  I feel slightly relieved to be back in the fog though.  Victoria Vonderheyden and I found an excellent garage sale/illegal store hybrid yesterday and scored all sorts of treasures.  Her moving into an apartment that is a five minute walk from my place of work has been a dream come true so far.  But I should really get going as I have all sorts of things to do today.

Something perplexing to think about;
I've gotten food poisoning twice in the past five months, and I haven't even been to Mexico at all this year!

Reba, I miss you!

Baby America

I don't think things have ever gone this well for me. I don't want to jinx it, but I feel like every ounce of good karma I've ever earned is coming back to me! Here is a little snapshot of what i've been up to;

My Dad Is A Hells Angel

I think my ridiculous Fourth of July outfit got me laid.
Or maybe it was my drunken patriotic charm.
Will I ever know?

Love,
Alicia

Winter is long and forgiving

It really feels like summer.
probably because I was fired from my job on Wednesday, and now it seems like I'm on summer vacation. School's out!

My quality of life has increased exponentially since it happened.

and now I'm off to do some volunteer work.

The Ultimate Outlaw

"Why are you so mean to me?"

"I'm not mean to you, I just tell you the truth.
Everyone else is too afraid of you to do it,
But I tell you the absolute fucking truth, no matter what.
And you love it."




I'll never admit it, but I think you're right

New Metric

I don't wanna bend, let the bad girls bend
I just wanna be your friend
While you're giving me a hard time

Is it ever gonna be enough?

72.8 Percent

My heart’s a mess
I won’t admit to it
It makes no sense
But you're desperate to connect
And I, I can’t live like this


Love ain’t fair
So there you are
My love

The Rain is Back

I just can't remember January straight through December

Mama and Her Baby Bears

Mama takin' the kids out for a night of drinking at Quality Social. You don't even want to know how this ended.

Dirty Old Man

I am recovering from a severe bout of the stomach flu. It was absolutely horrible, as those types of things tend to be. I truly feared I would lose my innards to the porcelain gods. But alas, I have survived.

Tonight will be a lot of fun, I'm so glad this illness cleared up just in time.

gooooo slow

You're hotter than a summer's day, in California
You've got me meltin' like a sundae, I want you.

Breaking Up & Making Up

My boss took me back just in time for me to meet this little cutie pie.

The most hyper, cracked-out animal I've met so far.

New Chapter?

Perfect Chocolate Pudding is Universal.

I'm thinking that the timing couldn't have been better.

John and Jim

The weather is suddenly fantastic, and so naturally, I have developed an appetite for sunlight and the outdoors. The former being something I tend to shy away from. Being in a city where the sun doesn't touch you in all the wrong places on a daily basis can really change your perspectives. I can finally appreciate and enjoy a sunny day. I can also enjoy an authentic Irish pub and everything that comes with it. Away we go.

Happy Birthday to Me!!!

You Should Probably Wear a Helmet

If everyone else around you gets sick, why does the sickness wait until the least opportune moment to strike you down? Either way, I'm just going to keep downing vitamin C like there's no tomorrow and hope for the best. because really, that's the most I can do. Yesterday was an extremely long and exhausting day. I missed my friend's intimate party and I feel bad, but i really couldn't go out into this weather, not if i'm serious about trying to fight off this cold. and yes, i am serious. I have some heavy duty cleaning to do in my flat before people get here. I borrowed a friend's vacuum and even bought a swiffer wet jet thing. I hope it works. I also have a ton, literally, of CRV recycling in my garage that my roommates and i are going to try to get to a recycling center today. There's also a washing machine that really needs to go go go! Sunset Scavenger, come eat my garbage!

My coworker got hit by a car while riding her bike.
for the second time in the past seven months
she should probably wear a helmet

My birthday is in 2 days!
yay

Napping on the Back Porch

So many things need to be done. Right now. And instead, I'm screwing around with this blog, figures. I have intensive ballet from six to eight tonight, and then I'm going directly to the War Memorial Opera House to see the San Francisco Ballet perform Balanchine's Masterworks. I'm really excited, I just wish there was more time in a day... Or that I could be in two places at once. I also wish I wouldn't have eaten the whole pizza last night, I could really go for some right now.

The pizza
The plan
The honey
The ham
Where is my...

Year of the Tiger

Happy Chinese New Year!

The Great San Francisco Valentine's Day Pillowfight was amazing.

Never stops

It's morning again and I'm doing what I do best.


No, not having sex.
I'm procrastinating.

I should be getting ready for work, which I've decided is only going to consist of switching from my pajama pants to jeans, putting on my shoes, and brushing my teeth. I don't want to shower for fear of washing off all the good luck I've been collecting! The next nine days are going to be ridiculous. Last night I made a very feeble attempt to go to Edinburgh Castle for Brittany's birthday, but ended up just being stalked by a creeper in the back alley. I embraced my attempt as a proclamation of my unwavering friendship and then I bailed! Good thing, or I probably wouldn't be awake right now, and god knows I need the money that is waiting for me at work.

One of those boys is trying to invite me to breakfast, which is not very strategic on his part. I always work Saturdays, he should know. I need to leave now, the metro is coming in six minutes. Goodbye!

The pace of life is constantly playing tricks on me. One moment, it's riding on the bus in the rain, looking out of the steamed windows and seeing nothing but gray. I could paint a picture of every emotion on the faces of the strangers that surround me, every detail is more important than the whole. The next moment, it's colorful and quick. There's sound engulfing you and it slips by so quickly you're not even sure it really happened.

Bonne Année

I can't believe it, I just looked at my grades for the fall semester and I got straight A's. :D

No one who is young is ever going to be old.
