What up rock n roll fans?

Chris is playing rock band so the title felt appropriate.

So hey, I got a job at Alcatraz! It's pretty bomb, easy and people are cool and it pays really well and I like taking a ferry to work. On Friday some sea lions were swimming around the boat on the way to work, it was rad. Here are some pics I took on my lunch break:
Alcatraz
Funny story about working on Alcatraz: Friday I got my monthly bloody vagina visitor, aka my period, like a week early, so you know, not prepared. I ran all over that fucking island like 3 times, no tampons or anything anywhere. So I had to leave work early because there are no tampons on Alcatraz. Seriously. Just saying that phrase makes me laugh.

I'm off today and I need to clean the apartment and such for our BBQ next weekend. If I know you and haven't invited you, let me know and invite yourself. We will have a keg and burgers and hotdogs, which I don't even eat, and you know, assorted other BBQ things. YAYZ!

We made it!

San Francisco Move!

All it took was the help of two more guys, Ross and Paulo, a Dodge truck, a trailer, two days of smash-and-grab packing, and about a 10 hour drive. And then unloading it all as soon as we got to the city at around 9:30.

There are some pics there of part of our 'hood. More pics of the place and the area will be coming soon.

POW!

don't waste my time. this is it. this is really happening.

I'm trying to hype myself up and psyche myself out a little. I have this tendency to not think about things that are upcoming to avoid getting too anxious. But I'm moving to San Francisco in less than two weeks and I am stoked like you wouldn't believe. Ross signed the lease yesterday, it's a done deal.

It's a very very new thing for me to be doing exactly what I want to do, and to be happy, and to feel like the only people I have in my life are people who want me to be exactly who I am. Or who don't give enough of a fuck about what I do with my own life to want me to do something else. It's absolutely the way things should be.

I really need to start packing. Like NOW. Ha.

In random other Marieness, I have some sort of sensitivity or allergy or intolerance to something, and since I'm sick of feeling like shit every time I eat, I'm on this crazy elimination diet to figure out what it is. So I can't eat dairy (I already know I'm lactose intolerant, so I shouldn't be eating it in the first place), wheat or anything with gluten or whatever, corn or anything corn based, eggs, refined sugar, coffee, and a bunch of other shit that I'm going to have to subtract after a week or so. It is seriously the lamest shit ever. I'm having a super hard time figuring out things to eat, or drink for that matter since I can't have beer or coffee. Pray for me, people.

Tumblr Repost

I've decided I'm just gonna repost the last postings from my Tumblr blog once a week over here, because I am cool.

Wild Animal Park

We went to the Wild Animal Park a couple of weeks ago, because Chris had never been and since we're moving we're trying to get some "San Diego" shit out of the way..haha.

From Wild Animal Park

This baby gibbon was pretty much the cutest thing I've ever seen. It was climbing all over the place. Chris took video of it

Mix

Muxtape

Damn, I really miss making mixtapes. Not in some hipster/ironic/vintage bullshit way, but man I was just all about them in high school. Back then, music was just the language of communication between my friends and me, because everything anyone could want to say had already been said better by some awesome musician. And then the fun of trying to blend that into a message, or the fun of trying to decipher that message. God.

I still have an epic collection of casettes too.

And I’m gonna make an online mixtape for every one of you fuckers.

HAPPY EASTER BUNNY DAY!

I say we just grow up, be adults, and die.

San Diego is my Westerburg High, and I want to tell just about everyone I know here that I want cool guys like them out of my life. If only they were as attractive as 1989 Christian Slater...or even as interestingly crazy.

I've been back here for just over a year and apparently the universe has taken pity and decided that was long enough..haha. I'm busting out of this gyp joint in April. It will be all things awesome and ruling and such.

That is all.

Tumblr

So I've started a tumbleblog, which is probably going to take the place of both my twitter and photoblog, because it's good for posting little tidbits. The meatier things will still stay here, however.

Check it

And if any of you decide to start one, let me know, cause I will totally add you to my "following" list and stalk you.

SURVEY XTREME XPLOSION!@!@!#

I usually just do these at work when I'm bored and post them on my myspace blog. Today I've been in bed all day. I'm sick for like the 25th time this year, I'm so tired, and I was having, literally, the most fucked up dreams I've ever had every time I went to sleep. Like dreams where I was decapitating children. Seriously. Serial killer shit, paranormal shit, just all kinds of bad.....so here's to keeping myself from going crazy in my bed with a silly survey. Answered in a completely non-facetious manner for your Marie-stalking pleasure...

1. Do you call anyone babe?
Not in a serious way.

2. Who were you last in a car with?
Chris.

3. When was the last time you kissed someone?
This morning.

4. What color shirt are you wearing?
I'm not wearing one. I don't wear clothes in bed. They make me antsy and hot and uncomfortable.

5. Are you a freak?
Only in the Adina Howard way. Ok, maybe in the Tod Browning way too, just a smidge.

9. Last thing you ate?
A bagel with herb cream cheese and smoked salmon. It sounded really good but there was too much salmon on it.

Water

In separate ditches. Very deep in the woods.

13. Are you happy right now?
No, I'm actually really out of sorts, and frustrated.

14. What did you say last?
"Have a good day" about 8 hours ago. I've been home all day alone, so it's weird to think I haven't spoken in like 8 hours.

18. What color are your eyes?
Brown...Hazel..something in there.

19. What is the highlight of your week?
I made three really good meals yesterday....Pesto Baked Eggs, Vegetable Stir-fry with rice noodles, and grilled Albacore and Shrimp tacos. That was a pretty good day.

20.What is your favorite store?
Um...one that has stuff I want for cheap? That's pretty much my only criterion, I hate shopping.

21 Who/what do you hate currently?
Being sick. Uncertainty.

22. If you could have someone with you right now, who would it be?
Someone comforting. I feel like a big scaredy, chicken-shit child today for some reason.

24. Do you get the recommended eight hours of sleep a night?
Not usually.

25. What makes you happiest?
Drugs. Haha. Ain't gonna lie. I've got fucked up brain chemistry, they tend to literally "make me happy"...I'm not even talking illegal ones.

26. What were you doing at 11 last night?
I think I was in bed eating cheesecake.

32. What's for dinner tonight?
Probably leftover tacos.

33. What is the last alcoholic beverage you had?
I had a margarita with dinner last night.

34. When is your birthday?
Seis de Mayo.

36. Who was the last person to send you a text message?
Bas

37. When is the last time you were in a swimming pool?
Last summer when Charles was watching his sister's house.

40. How do you feel about your hair right now?
I need to dye it again. Red fades way too quickly.

Whatever Cingular turned into...ATT?

46. Where does most of your family live?
Houston.

47. Are you an only child or do you have siblings?
One younger sister.

49. What was the first thing you did when you woke up?
Made coffee. Then I went back to sleep..

52. Myspace or Facebook?
I utilize Myspace for more social things. Facebook is just for playing stupid games on as far as I'm concerned.

53. What annoys you most?
Noise.

54. What is/was your favorite subject in school?
Languages. History. Pretty much most of the social sciences. Lit and Composition

55. What type of guy/girl do you usually fall for?
The older I get, the more I realize I don't have a type. Especially as far as personality goes.

57. Do you have any talents?
I am a fucking ball of talent. Wait and see.

58. Have you ever been IN a wedding?
When I was like 3 or 4 I was the flower girl in my Uncle's wedding. I don't know that I really remember it.

60. Did you take a nap today?
Yep.

63. Do you want to be famous one day?
Nope, I hate attention. Like in a pathologic way.

65. Are you multitasking right now?
Nope. I am non-tasking..

66. Could you handle being in the military?
Absolutely not.

67. Do you believe in Karma?
No. I really don't believe in anything, other than that there isn't anything to believe in, external-manipulation wise anyway.

68. If you're female, what color are your nails right now?
Chipped metallic-turquoise

70. Favorite tv show?
Six Feet Under. I'm also a big fan of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia and Arrested Development.

71. Do you like someone right now?
Uh...well I like my boyfriend. I like my friends, the few that I have.

72. Favorite donut type?
I like anything with coconut. Maple bars are good. Also just the straight up old-fashioned kind for coffee-dunking are bomb. I really haven't had donuts in forever, though I actually remember the last time I had them, which was August of 2006. Haha. I need to hit up Peterson's.

73. How many schools have you gone to?
Not including post high-school schools, 6 I think.

74. Favorite part of being in a relationship?
Having a partner in crime. If that isn't part of it, it's not fucking worth it.

Change...

So I came home on Friday night and while watching "What not to wear" I saw a girl with my haircut, but her hair was red. I decided I wanted that too.
Step 1: Bleach:
Step 2: Dye it red:

Step 3: Highlights:
TA-DA!

Ha. It's closer in color to the second pic, which was taken with my normal camera. The camera on my phone tends to wash out red tones pretty badly.
