So I'm here on I-5 northbound waiting (im)patiently. I've moved 50 feet in 15 minutes... This is going to take forever. Fortunately I have this shiny invention, the iPhone.
I've check my lolcats, NPR, facebook, weather reports, movie reviews, myspace, played break-out, and read boingboing.
I could really use some new sites to scour, as I haven't moved an inch while writing this. Posted via LiveJournal.app. |

I enjoin anyone reading to stay far far away from food poisoning. No lady should ever have to make the decision which is grosser to clean up, puke or poop. I've been recuperating nicely though, Casey made me some jello with sierra mist, yum! And watching Real World Hollywood certainly puts my troubles in perspective, I may be sick to my stomach (and butt) but at least I'm not one of those people.
New musical obsession: Beirut
How I ever got so far in life without listening to them is beyond me. I absolutely, head-over-heels love them and can't wait to see them at the end of this month. Life is good...kinda...will be in 19 days. |

| Sasquatch 2007 |
|
|
| 12:21am 08/06/2007 |

Sasquatch 07 was amazing, as was to be expected.
I spent the majority of the time drinking, which is exactly what I wanted to do, while listening to some fabulous new music, along with a few well-known favorites (cough Bjork, Interpol, Polyphonic Spree cough).
But this post isnt about how amazing those bands were, or about how shittyass drunk we all got. This post is an apology to the boy who asked if he could kiss me on that sunday night. We stayed up much later then anyone around us, just talking about life and whatnot. Watched the sunset, moonset and sunrise while I learned about how people actually still mine gold up north. Fucking insane.
I digress, while I was just enjoying the company of another person, comparing lives (Oregon vs. Canada, Canada wins), trading stories (their drinking group, Unstoppable Party Force, has its own damn tracksuits & stickers (got one for my ds)) and drinking old cans of random beer (ew), I think he thought we were connecting on a whole different level. When the yawning started and it became evident that sleep was coming, he leans in and holds his hand out, and asks, like a gentleman, if he can kiss me.
Being as I'm in a very stable, healthly relationship, there was only one right action. I laughed. I tossed my head back and engaged in a full belly laugh, and asked him how long he had been waiting to ask me that. Now, don't get me wrong, he was cute, sweet, I wouldn't see him ever again, everything I look for in a man when Im single. If I were, that poor fool wouldn't have had to ask. But, I panicked. I thought I had mentioned Casey earlier in the evening (granted, Casey would be a girls name, and I dont know if I was sober enough to clarify who Casey was (he was in Oregon, working...that poor sob)) and the only thing I could think to do was laugh.
I feel terrible. I didn't kiss him (of course I would feel worse if I kissed him! How dare you think such a thing! What kind of lady do you think I am?! Does me being in a relationship with Casey mean nothing to you!?!) But I laughed at him.
I would like to send a cosmic apology to this guy, I only know his middle name is Todd (what an awful middle name.) and he mines gold for a living, using G.I.S. and chemistry, not panning gold like we all assumed (Im sure you would have assumed the same if you were there.)
So, sorry. There is nothing wrong with you. You are attractive, considerate, sweet and lead a very interesting life (he had a ton of good stories.) If you lived near me I would try to hook you up with a number of my friends, because that is what I do. I hope this gets to you somehow, UPF represent.

Ever stop trusting a certain part of your body after it fails to follow the contract it signed when you were born?
Yeah, I don't trust my bottom lip to stay out of the way when I eat anymore. Yesterday Casey took me to out to eat for some Mexican food (& let me get beer, yay!) I thought, 'awesome evening!' until I went in to chow down on some tasty camarones mojo de ajo and BAM! my lip jumps in, as if to interrupt my perfect bite. It hurt really bad, combined with the salsa, it was a jolting dinner.
So today, I bake the most perfect loaf of bread I've ever baked, its moist, but fully cooked & fresh out of the oven. I cut off the butt for Casey, and slice a nice, thick hunk, slather it with butter and go in for the kill. My lip evidently wanted a bite or two also, and I bite down on the exact same spot as yesterday.
It hurt so bad tears started falling down my face, I wasn't crying, mind you...just tears escaping. The only consolation was Casey saying, "Aw Im sorry babe, but you look really cute right now." Its swelled to epic proportions, and I had to suck on a frozen peach just to get it to stop stinging.
Woe is me and my big, fat, supermodel lips. |

It is never appropriate to whistle, honk or yell shit at a girl while she is running. Ever. No girl I know would ever think its a clever way to get her phone number, in fact, she would probably agree with me and think its the lamest thing you can do.
To the skanky-ass guys on the porch I ran by:
You are disgusting, I hope you saw the look on my face when you whistled at me and yelled whatever gems of wisdom to me.
I had my 'oh-my-fucking-god, you-must-be-fucking-joking I-wouldn't-give-you-a-nickle-to-call-Jesus-muchless-the-time-of-day Please-stop-wasting-your-breath-and-my-attention-with-your-lame-shit.'
I really can't think of a single way to avoid this type of behavior, unfortunately I live in the shittiest little town west of Spokane's Hillyard. Infact, I would be surprised if this town was sister cities with that area. Tons of pitbulls, old exercise equipment on lawns, gorgeous historic houses turned methlabs...yup, sister cities.
I digress, what do you guys do to avoid these types of behavior? When I lived in Oly, people would drive right up behind me and honk their fucking horns. I did not appreciate it.

| Desperately Seeking Cute Kitty Caption Page, Plus Addition to the Family |
|
|
| 12:57pm 08/01/2007 |
| |
I was looking through the archives and cant seem to find the page that linked all the cute captioned kitty pics out there, anyone know the link? Or any good kitty caption links?
On another note, my bf and I adopted a sweet little cocker spaniel/black lab (?) mix. We think he was abused when he was really young because he is terrified of meeting new men, and does ALOT of submissive pooping and peeing when he meets new people (goodbye deposit for our apartment >< )
We got him from a couple who rarely let him out of his crate, and the first night we got him, he was covered in fleas. It broke our hearts to see him so unhappy, but he instantly bonded to us and we are becoming a very happy little family.

| I wanna go out. |

So living in Corvallis is awesome. I love my place, I love my job and I love living with Casey. I dont love not having a lot of friends, the one girl I think would make a fabulous friend is in school and is too damn busy to have a social life at the moment (Just wait until summer. Janine, I know your not reading this, but be warned, I will join the cynical GRC and we will party.)
I want to go out and drink. The only times I really got to were when I was underage, and the overage adventures are much too few and far between. I dont want to spend a ton of money on alcohol, but every so often, it would be nice to meet for a kamakazi at the Crowbar and perhaps sweettalk you into going to Platnium, the local diveclub. Its ridiculous fun being drunk, belligerant and happy.
As of now, I make do with drinking alone. Well, sort of alone, Casey will sit next to me as I sip my pinot noir or beer and we watch some trash tv. Im just getting stir crazy I spose.
it doesnt help when surveys like this pop up and I am compelled to fill them out.
| You Are A Blueberry Martini | 
You are a eclectic drink - liking to change drinks and venues often.
You are usually the first of your friends to find a cool new dive bar or cocktail.
You should never: Drink mystery drinks strangers hand you. Unless you want to wind up in foreign country.
Your ideal party: Is mobile, hopping from party to party.
Your drinking soulmates: Those with an Orange Martini personality.
Your drinking rivals: Those with a Chocolate Martini personality. |
Yes! Ill be a blueberry martini if you be a vodka cran! We will sip eachother into a stupor and forget we ever wrote such melancholy posts about getting wasted. |

WHEN GIRLS DRINK 2 MUCH, THEY FEEL LIKE THIS !!!!!!
1. WE HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA WHERE OUR PURSE IS.
2. WE BELIEVE THAT DANCING WITH OUR ARMS OVERHEAD AND WIGGLING OUR BUTT WHILE YELLING "WOO-HOO!" IS TRULY THE SEXIEST DANCE MOVE AROUND.
3. WE'VE SUDDENLY DECIDED THAT WE WANT TO KICK SOMEONE'S ASS AND HONESTLY BELIEVE WE COULD DO IT TOO.
4. IN OUR LAST TRIP TO PEE, WE REALIZE THAT WE NOW LOOK MORE LIKE A HOMELESS HOOKER THAN THE GODDESS WE WERE JUST FOUR HOURS AGO
5.WE START CRYING AND TELLING EVERYONE WE SEE THAT WE LOVE THEM SOOOOO MUCH.
6. WE GET EXTREMELY EXCITED AND JUMP UP AND DOWN EVERY TIME A NEW SONG PLAY'S BECAUSE "OH MY GOD! I LOVE THIS SONG!"
7. WE'VE FOUND A DEEPER/SPIRITUAL SIDE TO THE GEEK SITTING NEXT TO US.
8. WE'VE SUDDENLY TAKEN UP SMOKING AND BECOME REALLY GOOD AT IT.
9. WE YELL AT THE BARTENDER, WHO WE BELIEVE CHEATED US BY GIVING US JUST LEMONADE, BUT THAT'S JUST BECAUSE WE CAN NO LONGER TASTE THE GIN.
10. WE THINK WE ARE IN BED, BUT OUR PILLOW FEELS STRANGELY LIKE THE KITCHEN FLOOR (or the mop?)
11. WE FAIL TO NOTICE THAT THE TOILET LID'S DOWN WHEN WE SIT ON IT.
12. WE TAKE OUR SHOES OFF BECAUSE WE BELIEVE IT'S THEIR FAULT THAT WE'RE HAVING PROBLEMS WALKING STRAIGHT. |

<td align="center">Virgo
You are shy at first, and because of that, it is hard for you to find lots of random sex partners. You are very intelligent and very into sex.
You will only have sex with clean people, because you are afraid of getting an STD. You are also very kinky and imaginative in the sack. Your partners always have a hard time keeping up with you.
Sex matches: Taurus, Capricorn, Scorpio
