today wayne said to me "i'm not good at documenting my life"
right after we realized we didn't have a camera to take pictures of our canoe adventures

lil bit of an update so i stop feeling lazy about this

2008-07-02T02:05:35Z

i'm not very good at photographing or
or journaling...or illustrating...really any kind of documenting of my life
but i'd like to be
last week i went camping with camille and sarah carter
we stayed at a very magical campground owned by a mystic swedish lady
she had insight on life
and ghosts that spoke to her to
i was very glad i got to meet her, learn her story and hug her when we said goodbye
my brother loaned us a 3 room tent! which only took us fifteen minutes set up..correctly
we took the cavern tour and missed the "legendary" fried eggs
i guess it's a wall design that resembles eggs
but when i asked "hey i missed the eggs where were they?"
the tour guide said "back there"
we also did the lazy tubing down the shenandoah which ruled
but took a long time...too long according to the sunburn in my belly button
next time i'd like to canoe or kayak it
and we indulged in open fire cooking
and also mexican food
and we went to town and saw the incredible hulk as well
when we came back i worked a bunch
but now i have a three day of VACAY
yesterday i got to play tennis with wayne
which ruled and then natalie bought me a new tank top
and we went to the movies
today i got to beach it with stephanie
and i met a cat with opposable thumbs!!

simple strange

2008-06-11T03:13:32Z

i met a man my exact
height and weight

heck yeah

2008-05-20T15:41:07Z

thanks to heidi loaning me a monitor and an insane fixation on getting it working last nighti am again with computer
i looked insane figuring it though
because on my laptop my backlight is bad so i had one of those
fix your car at night lamps that hang
up to my screen blinding me and at the same time allowing me to somewhat see the screen
enough to figure it out
1 hour later and super sweaty and neck pained
but it works now!
and internet's probably gonna make me late for work like the good ol days

some things are broke and gone

2008-04-30T23:51:11Z

my ipod broke down..maybe like a year ago now?
my car broke down like 4 months ago
and my computer's screen went ca-put like 3 months ago
the only good thing gone is a lil over 30 pounds
because without all that technology these legs are moving
and i'm addicted to the gym
i'm looking forward to summer time beach and travel plans
travel plans so far
chicago...dc....canada
and i gotta sneak a visit to baltimore to make sure i want
to live there...before july
other than that i'm just sleeping when i can
and hating my job when i'm there
i hang out but not nearly enough
and i still eat too much sugar
i go to the club to dance but the music's pretty bad pretty often so i mostly just get
stinky and say hi to people i don't care about saying hi to
our lil filipino buddy at work "hermie" passed away recently
and that sucks
she's a cute little mogwai who says really cute stuff
like "i make pee' and "go eat" and does lots of hand gestures and funny faces
i went to her wake which is the first one i've ever been to
open casket and seriously looking nothing like her
children running amuck and the smell of fried chicken lingering in from the next room
i never need to go to another one of these
so..sorry in case you've always dreamed of an open casket viewing (which makes you stranger than me)
laundry's done and jeopardy's on
i'm done with this update

one man parade

2008-02-25T05:59:15Z

12:30am
leave the gym in ill fitting keep me warm jeans with long johns
when i am haulted by cops on bikes
and suddenly there is a late night parade
of elephants horses protesters and police
the circus is leaving town

valentines

2008-02-15T08:29:41Z

there's a red
foil balloon
floating outside your window
my heart on a string
let it in

because deep down i'm a fifteen year old fat girl

2008-02-09T06:40:33Z

tonight at the gym
the crazy kickboxing champion dude
said "man...you're looking good..defining those arms and really losing some weight"
it made me superstoked which i know is lame
but i'm lame sometimes
anyays
my car hasn't worked for the last 3 days
mechanic dude is gonna look at it on sunday
but in the time being
i've just been walking alot
and calling in sick
and hanging hard with janel
and really...none of those things are bad at all!
i'm loving right now

oh yeah..let me not forget to mention listening to nothing but rise against lately...have no idea

john upton is the new "in bed" fortune cookie suffix

2008-02-04T07:08:29Z

why's it so easy to beat yourself up
but so hard to be in your own corner

i don't even like martin lawrence at all

2008-01-31T16:04:56Z

last night i dreamed that i was one of 2 young sons of martin lawrence
he recently retired and decided to go on a family vacation
in our RV which turned into a submarine
no one wanted to go and he wouldn't tell us how long the trip was
all he kept saying is...i wanna go and listen to sisquo and get it out of my system
the rv had wings on it too but that was just to help propel it under water...
at one point "dad" thought it'd be funny to come up under a swimmer and scare the crap out of him..it worked and we all laughed and kinda came together as a family..even if we didn't want to be there

if those people never changed

2008-01-27T08:04:58Z

if it was the same group
lying on a floor
waiting for an angry dad to come home
eating cupboards full of cereal bought in bulk
but not bottom shelf
if late night sneak outs and disney movies were still the norm
and long walks around town with people who needed
long walks with friends
it's everyday
and it always will be
there are people and times gone
that will never truly be
until every one of us joins in

why am i always up thinking these things when i should be dreaming them

2008-01-22T08:47:52Z

i really like seeing wild animals late at night
just out doing their thing
around here wild really only means
raccoons and bunnies
but shit..they are cute
i'd like to live in alaska and have moose get into my trash

my eyes are getting so big

2008-01-19T08:32:56Z

last night i had a wacky dream that involved
secret birthday, making out with a half deaf girl in her treehouse, living in an english styled huge rock apt complex with all my friends, ski ball in the living room, dressing up like a circus ringleader, and waking up right after faceless figures said "we have to kill john upton for the symbolism

in other news there are these beautiful black ducks migrating over hampton roads these days, and they are solid black so that they look like shadows in the sky

gotta get on those creatures and carreer

2008-01-15T16:56:33Z

i feel like when you set too many resolutions you are bound to succeed at a few of them,
my most successful so far is the biggest one
me!

i think i got drunk on curry last night

2008-01-13T16:46:31Z

i have the crazy urge to body paint

with two days off the bragging continues

2008-01-11T05:57:16Z

two days in a row
5 mile seashore job
and then late night gym 1000 calorie ellipitical attacks
thank god i have a secret bottle
of goldbond hidden among my lunchbox collection

balls and chubby inner thighs are no laughing matter!

it's my journal and i'll brag if i want

2008-01-10T08:32:14Z

today i ran five miles in the beautiful seashore state park on a lovely day
and then tonight at the gym i ellipticalled away 1000 calories
vegan and healthy food eaten in between
and it might be that time in my life to push away some people for a bit and get myself right

all day today i wore tape on my underwear

2008-01-08T06:42:07Z

today
sleep in
couple mile forrest walk with janel
trader joes
dinner and walk with heidi
hang out sesh and table wood carving, and still weed cookie kitchen painting continued...with lots of folk
and gym again
and late night room mate pretzel eating

yesterday grace's band ruled
for real drum circle and saw!

it's still the new year and i'm still newly great

2008-01-05T06:44:47Z

i ran seashore today with maggie
and when we parked we saw a really old shaggy dog who looked like
he was convulsing on the ground
i got panic-y
and shouted "hey boy"
and he stopped scratching his back looked at me
and strolled on over
and i scratched his back instead

also just now late night shower after light night gym
and i got to thinking about how strong our bathroom window must be
because it's freezing outside and i just took a burning hot shower
and no broken glass!

creatures galore

and workout galore

i kinda broke some resolves..but not on purpose

2008-01-04T08:17:46Z

i did not write anything until now..316am..and that's ok...but i went to a movie right after work so i didn't get to create anything profitable
but i did go to the gym after the movie
and really..i mean one day i could be hot enough to be a stripper or a hooker
so potentially i did create something profitable?
huh?

it's late..i can't wait to read this tomorrow to see what words i doubled (i find that to be my late night thing)

crap almost out of time

2008-01-03T05:01:43Z

another resolution..write a lil something online everyday..either here or one of my top secret blogs!!!!
tonight
vegan mashed potatoes, brocolli, corn
and 1 new creature added to my etsy!!!
in case you didn't know ATLANTA (hint hint)

poorlystitched.etsy.com

day 1

2008-01-02T06:40:27Z

vegan day one turned out pretty rad
because i successfully made vegan cornbread..from scratch! with no recipe and completely delicious..in other news thanks to camille and jes i now know how to knit
so baking
and knitting
and making creatures
and running five miles
and working out at the gym late night

huh?

two thousand ate

2008-01-01T17:56:13Z

i am officially that late life experimenter!
how'd this even happen?

and now for the resolutions....(which i am a fan of)
1- continue on my gym quest
2- vegan for at least the month of january
3- new career
4-create something new and profitable every day

i'm sure there will be more to come

i went to ikea with janel today

2007-12-17T05:41:04Z

and stuff happened.
on the way there i said
"i'd like to hear charlie brown xmas music"
20 minutes later charlie brown xmas music on the radio
i talked about getting johnny cash box set for my brother for xmas
a little later johnny cash on the radio
i said "i want to grab a leaf" as we hightailed it on the highway
i opened the window and caught a leaf in less than 20 seconds
i started asking the universe for large sums of cash and you know how that works
i got a paper lantern dropped on my head
by a cute little bird i fed some of my texas toast to
in the ikea cafe
i told the manager i wanted something free
he gave me free four dinners
and i forgot to pay for a few things
at the self checkout line

another year i'm still here

2007-12-06T06:30:48Z

tonight marked the second time
in my life
i asked for the dead to visit
and they have

in cat form

i know i'm insane
so i think that means i'm not
