Seeing red again!

I'm not seeing red right now, but boy was I yesterday. It takes so much to get me angry, so when I do, it must be for something pretty good. Luckily I know how to settle myself down. Went out with Gavin last night to watch my friend Bonnie's band play. She was amazing! Never heard her sing before, so I was very impressed. It was all bluesy rock stuff which totally fit my mood. I'm thinking of writing my own blues song based around the events of late ;)

Anyhoo, I had like a four hour conversation with my parents today. That's what I get for going about 2 months without speaking to them! (Just kidding, you guys, it was great to catch up!) Anyway, I've vented and I feel more calm today and I'm just going to have to wait and see what the situation is like on Monday. Kristen and I are going out to my friend Jo's "mexican" Xmas party tonight. We're going to wear matching Santa hats, so we'll look appropriately silly. Just wanted to say big thank yous to Kristen, Jorge, Rammstein, Gavin, Clive, Jeremy and everyone else who's listened to me whinge and bitch this week. Usually I try not to bother too many people with stuff, but boy has it been good to vent. And a huge thanks to my baby J in San Fran for writing me the sweetest message at the most appropriate time ;)

This has been an eye-opening week on many levels. It's amazing to find out who takes you for granted and who doesn't. But for tonight, alll I'm going to do is go out and have a good time and meet new people. And have fun, dammit. I am proud to announce the return of my dignity and self-respect this week. Amen ;)

We're online!


Hallelujah! We finally got the damn digital camera to communicate with my stupid computer and the pics are going online! We have no idea why it worked this time. We've decided not to question the computer gods that be...This pic was taken at Chris' party a week and a half ago - (aside, today is Kristen's 2 week anniversary! Yay! My brain is totally not functioning and Kristen is sitting next to me and giving me sympathetic looks as I start to type something but can't remember what I wanted to type---working on like 3 hours of sleep here! All I have to say is, how cute is Kristen and how frigging big are my lips? ;) Get the bigger version! (Warning: Lips may appear larger in the rear view mirror!)

Okay, I have no idea who the guy on the far left is, but he was really funny to talk to. Chris is the partyholder in the middle, and I'm the 14 year old looking 24 year old on the right. That's my butterfly in the shape of an american flag shirt. I'm not much of a stars and stripes wearer, but the american butterfly was too cute to ignore. Cheers! Oooh, and I have to remember to write about yet another day of sharing cabs with strangers today. I actually made a profit. And yes, I take way too many cabs! We all know that cabbies account for a good 50% of the freaks I meet! :) p.s. Note to my family: No, I did not cut my hair short ish again, those bits hanging down the front are my short layers - if you look down past my elbow, that's my hair continuin all the way down my back to my waist. So what I am trying to say is, I still look like a hippie ;) | Enlarge photo |

Seeing red...

It takes a lot to really get me angry, but angry I was today. I won't get into it here, but someone in my life was acting like a total tool today. I have been taken for granted for way too long and today this person went too far and I had to speak my mind. We all act like tools sometimes, but when a tool is a tool and pretends like he or she isn't a tool, he/she needs to be put in their place.

Today was a pretty emotional day for me in all sorts of way and on all sorts of levels that I cannot write here, as it's too personal. You'll just have to take my word for it.

As Sydney band "The Drugs" always say, "The only way is up..." :)

Dot Dot Dot...Just got home from an amazing dinner - pictures to be posted soon, hopefully. Kristen and I got a great "butt shot," I think ;)
