Taking a cue from Raeven...

I'm enough cold medicine that I can barely move, much less find ways to unboreify (that's totally a word...I just fucking coined it, assholes) myself.

Here's a little rant....

I was just reading this and it got me thinking about something....

How the hell did we get to the point in the world where the job of "trend predictor" was created and why the fuck do we value it? Isn't that the same thing as valuing the opinion of the "psychic" down the street with the neon hand in her window who will tell you all about your future, based on some quick analysis of clues and hints she garners from her interaction with you? Except for some reason the psychic is a fraud out to steal your money and these "trend spotters" are the driving force behind marketing and are actually listened to by companies everywhere. Yet they both do the same thing....analyze available data and make some semi-random guesses. And if you read that transcript and see the things they're actually predicting as trends....that shit is even vaguer and more chock full o'bullshit than anything you'll hear from a psychic. Oh, and pardon my fucking puking at the BBC calling them "prophets"......

Keep consuming. Do it.

Raeven wins the gouge-out-eyes contest for today...

However, I am sick. And it kinda sucks. Though it's kind of entertaining because I haven't been sick in so long.

Last night Chris, Bill, Maria, and I drove around looking for somewhere to drink at like midnight. Of course, since this place is the devil there really wasn't anywhere open so we ended up at this divey bar like a block from Chris' house. Ridiculous...haha. There were really, really drunk white trash in there and one of the chicks tried to pick a fight with the bartender. I have no idea what it was over really but I learned two things:

1. When a drunken local screams "cunt" it can sound like there are 3 different vowels and several syllables in that little word.
2. When the same drunken woman screams "I will fuck your ass!" to another woman she is trying to goad into fighting her......it's really, really funny.

The World Just Keeps Turning...

The same song is stuck in my head as was last New Year's....and going back and reading my post from last January 1st I feel so fucking amazed that through all the shit that happened this last year, not much has changed within me apparently. Though I wish I was on the manic side of things still....how the fuck did the two worst years of my life end up coming exactly 10 years apart anyway? Oh universe....you are a fucking riot.

I had a super fun meltdown last night. I haven't quite recovered from it. At least I've kind of acknowledged the things that I'd been feeling and didn't want to admit. I'm still just as fucking confused as ever though. It's been raining all night and morning....how stupidly fitting. I don't want to be fucking depressed. Also fitting: I'm spending the first day of the new year alone. In a room. Yay me!

Maybe I haven't been trying hard enough, I don't know. I think I lost the sense of adventure and the man pants are just not fitting right now, ha. Bas and I were talking about how "newness" is draining....and it's really true. It's all I've had for 2 months and it's so incredibly overwhelming sometimes. It's weird because everything after last spring was a sort of "newness" for me, but somehow it was exciting or interesting or something. Enough to keep me going and enthused about life and doing things. Enough to not be afraid of anything. I feel fucking weak right now.

Anyhow....maybe I should just go cry like a giant pink V, eh? Haha. Ignore me....look at pictures instead:



Oh....and the song I have stuck in my head?
happy new year

january sky like a slate wiped clean
and stillness of air where nothing has been
wait for your word as if to say
another last chance lives from today

happy new year - the world just keeps turning
day into night, night into day
holding on tight, millions all hoping
something like love will light up the way

dying for change, but the feeling won't last
summer will come and be over too fast
grow into sun, fade into rain
a miniature life to live over again

happy new year - the world just keeps going
tumbling round, screaming through space
holding on tight, millions all hoping
something like love will light up their face

happy new year to everyone hurting
praying this time it all becomes clear
here when the light is pale and uncertain
happy new year
happy new year

It's by a band called Arco....I would listen to it right now because it fits so perfectly but then I think I'd probably off myself...ha. Happy New Year, douchefags.

Also marvel at my talents....

Chris in his velour:

On which we sprayed a stencil I made of him wearing his velour:

It's a negative-image stencil, which is why it looks somewhat weird with the baby-blue being the shadows and all.

There's a reason why I hate making decisions...

because no matter what decision I make, it's the wrong one. I don't know if it's possible for me to ever be satisfied. I figured this out this morning, when I woke up entirely too early. I figured out other random things too. I'm totally done with feelings I think. Ha. Instead I shall spend all day watching porn.

Also....Bas isn't dead! Yay!

Oh....and I'm super jealous of people that are having fun this weekend....which is pretty much everyone I know. I hate you all! Ha.

Drunken Wii

Last night at Alex's



From my Drunk Wii Playing Album

Godamn, godamn....

I've been listening to Black Cab over and over again for the past hour or so. Something about this song articulates so much of the way I feel about 80% of the time. Jens Lekman feels like my weird alter-ego sometimes.....like who I am without my hardass, bullshit shell...who would believe that?

Black Cab[mp3 link]

Also, I've been rocking this song a bit....it's the second best Christmas song ever in my opinion....that Jens writes some nice music for special occasions.

Run Away With Me[mp3 link]

Pocket Full of Money is still his best song ever though.

That's my girl- the drunkest at the party. She lost her shoe and found the rum bacardi.

Haha.....man every time I get drunk that song gets stuck in my head....wonder why, eh? I drank entirely too much spirited eggnog yesterday....I remember pretty much everything up until walking in the door when we got home...after that I apparently started time-travelling. It's really rather unfortunate. Go look at pictures of my Christmas:

From my "Xmas Super Happy Fun Time" Album
Today I'm trying to not freak out and cry and live in a blanket cave. I think I might take a nap though. I'm pretty much over this whole "apparently drinking depletes your serotonin and the day after you will feel like a sad emo fuck"....alcohol is no e, so I'm feeling just a bit gypped. I did get an awesome Christmas sweater from Chris' grandma, so maybe I'll put that on and take some holiday pictures....or maybe not. It's a mystery!

Sunday, December 24, 2006

I almost shit my pants from laughing so hard....

seriously....this may be one of the best pictures ever...and it's even funnier the morning after.Now you shall marvel at the absolutely tasteful and attractive Christmas decor you can win at Wawa........
Also....marvel at my belt buckle, bitches!

Also...

it just occurred to me that today marks two months since I've been gone.

Also...I was telling Raeven the other day that I pretty much look like a lesbian hobo these days. Haha. I never bother getting dressed most days. I don't know if I've ever felt uglier..haha. It's ridiculous.

Christmas reminds me I have nothing....

Man I wish I had the Vandals Christmas album with me. Alas, it's at home. Where, if I was, I'd be listening to it. And then going to the Vandals Christmas show tonight. And possibly listening to my Projekt album of Gothic Christmas Carols. Instead I'm far, far away, stuck in someone else's life for the moment.

I always thought I didn't really have much of a life in SD, and truth is I didn't. But I did have a few things that were pretty much "mine" (or "ours" really, because they all involved other people, traditions and whatnot). Christmas was always "wake up early, open presents, call everyone else and meet-up somewhere, usually our house or Garrett's house and drink all day and make merry and mischief." Yeah....why do I always want the things I truly can't have? Ha. I pretty much know that even if I was home this year, that's not really the way things would go down. Damn this fucking year. It's really been one of the worst in my life.

I guess I've just gotta make it through 2 and a half more days and all this shit will be done with. It's fucking torturous though. Every time I even think about doing Christmas-y shit I start tearing up. The title of my post is unfortunately a reality for me right now. Don't get me wrong, it's not all bad. Some of it is just fucking painful.

Charles is going to SF for New Year's. Color me uber jealous. I have no idea what I'm doing. I'm sure it won't be nearly as cool though. Damn you people on the west coast, being "fun" and "interesting".....And never watching tv. Ha.
