These drawings are pretty damn funny. Yes, there are a lot of them to look at, but most of them made me grin.

Consider this a brief series of open letters, or just things I wish I'd said….

To the Nail Tech,
Do you think all Americans are uncultured idiots? Well, surprise, surprise, I know your language well enough to get the jist of what you said about me to your coworkers while I sat right there in front of you, and it wasn't very nice. I won't be coming to your establishment again.

To the Cable Guy,
No, I won't fuck you…. not even for free cable.

To my Boyfriend,
You are so wrapped up in yourself right now that you don't see things as they really are.

To our Clients,
I don't appreciate your tone. What part of “I don't have permission to access any of the billing records” do you not understand? I'm sorry I can't tell the owners how to run their company. You won't call during their working hours despite being told each time you call when they can be reached, you refuse to leave a message for them to call you back, what the fuck am I supposed to do?! Stop being a fucking asshole!

To my Brother,
I don't even know you anymore.

To Myself,
This is NOT therapeutic; this is a waste of time!

Three cheers for Friday! Unfortunately, it is 500 weekend here. Projections say there are at least an extra 400,000 people in town. I had planned to hit my fave dive bar tonite after Lost In Lodi plays at The Patio but I know the line to get in will be ridiculous as per usual around race time and the joint will be filled with a whole new crowd of morons. Best to avoid it this time, I suppose. It's just as well as i haven't been enjoying drinking much lately anyway.
I'm running on little sleep, but mentally I am on top of the world! Last night I was every bit as content with things, with the exception of the far too brief visit from Thee Boyfriend and scrambling to tidy my place. I feel like kicking people in the face, then laughing maniacally, which is the sign of a good mood for me ;) Not that I'll actually be doing that, but hey…
Hooray for a long weekend as well! My cable internet will be ready for me to abuse Saturday. I wonder if I will be at Boyfriend's family picnic Sunday? I'll have to wear a wig again so as not to shock and offend the filthy rich uppity `rents. I'd really like t osee his sister again. She likes me, I like her. (Thankfully.) Monday I am going to do what ever the fuck I want, because I can- so there :P
Go visit Drew now and get your chuckle on.

Please go vote + for Elexa on Wanne-be Camwhores. She's sooo close to making the main Camwhores page, but the votes will reset 6/1. Seems Sizeism has reared it's ugly head! Grrr! I don't want that to keep her down!

While you're at it, you might as well + Jessicka, Rashelle and Sinz, if you can find it in your heart. Thanks in advance for your kindness!

***Edited 5/24- She made it!!!! Thanks you to all those who helped make it happen!!!!

I have a horrid task at hand… cleaning. Now it isn't just the standard tidying up, or I wouldn't be bitching so much. (Am I bitching? If not I will be momentarily, fear not.) Imagine a place so cluttered one has to make a path to walk anywhere in it, a sink filled with dishes that are growing only knows what, a bathroom that hasn't been scrubbed in roughly 2 years but has been tortured with many a hair dye session, and 2 years worth of things that were either never unpacked or strewn about while searching for another item packed away.
I have one evening [tonite] to accomplish the task. It must be reasonably organized so as to allow the cable installer access. I've chosen the easiest route- bagging all the things that aren't daily necessities into trash bags and storing them in my walk-in closet. All the absolutely needed items will either be carefully boxed up or placed safely in drawers/cabinets etc. I am not looking forward to this.
I thought I'd take an hour long nap last night before beginning, but ended up sleeping about 13 hrs straight thru until it was time for work… guess I had to catch up on some rest. There will be none of that tonite though. *le sigh* /end trite crap.
It is, however, a beautifully gorgeous day here.

Did you notice I'd been away from lj for over a week? Probably not; I shouldn't flatter myself ;) If you're wondering why, or if I'm ok, *shrugs* I… I'm… fine. I'm fine. There! I said it! I had either so much to bitch about that I decided to just keep it to myself, or absolutely nothing to say so I sparred you from reading it.
For the record, net drama is ghey. (No, not the snazzy dressing, good dancing, fabulous homosexual sort, either.) I won't participate. Also, I am not a piece of property to be bought, sold, or traded. Don't expect me to have a kind word to devote to you [nor a second of my not always precious time] if that is your attitude in reguards to me. No, I don't have a mean bone in my body. Yes, I AM tolerant, but I'm no doormat.
Now on to “fun” stuff. I was bad again. The S word (shopping) got to me. Dvds and cds were my scourge this time. I made it thru Requiem For A Dream first. The others will have to wait. It stuck with me. I'm glad I wasn't in an altered state when I watched it. I indulge in my Gbv/Bob Pollard addiction with 4 more releases. I was romanced into replacing my copies of Pulp's Different Class, and a Social D's self titled. I love music. All melodrama aside, I don't think I could live without it. On a related note, I won't be forced to survive on dialup any longer… my cable connection will be installed Saturday. Is there a God? The jury is still out.

FAMED MAKEUP ARTIST AUCOIN DIES
May 7, 2002 | KEVYN AUCOIN, the famed makeup artist who touched the faces and hearts of millions, died Tuesday from complications relating to a pituitary brain tumor in New York. He was 40 years old. Aucoin was the top choice for many key industry faces from BRITNEY SPEARS to JULIA ROBERTS, and certain celebrities, such as CHER, OPRAH and JANET JACKSON, insisted on Aucoin's services. A prolific and successful artist, Aucoin perfected faces for more magazine covers than any other professional in his field, including Harper's Bazaar, Vanity Fair, Glamour and Rolling Stone.

No, just no. No. No. No. Not today. No. :(

I'm running on 5 hours of sleep and failing fast. My body feels like lead. My coordination is off. I just might call it a very early night. Or, maybe I'll get my second wind?
On top of my exhaustion, I am incredibly upset about the likely office move. Saying I've been in tears will suffice. I will probably have to quit and find something else because of the distance from home to the new office space, which means losing my insurance as well. I have been milking the hell out of it too! *sigh* Currently we are only less than 5 minutes by car/20 by walking for me. I've been here almost 3 yrs- I don't want to leave. I am going to price some other local options for them myself in hopes that one is a suitable alternative.
One thing almost got a real smile out of me (but not quite): Blondie and Guided By Voices are playing an outdoor music fest here in July. I've already pre-purchased the new release from gbv, which is due out in June. Now I must snag advance tix as well. I should be more excited, but I feel numb. Keep me away from any shopping opportunities when I'm like this…

… but it was so ON.

Enneagram Test Results
type/score/summary
4/22/Fours are all about being unique and creating their own distinct culture. They experience the highs and lows of life more intensely than other types. They take great pride in their aesthetic tastes. Fours often feel like misplaced children, and they long for a sense of real family.

5/20/Fives are basically on some level ambivalent about the world, consequently, their mind is usually their best friend. They like to analyze things and make sense of them (that is their anchor), perception and invention come naturally. The immense inner world of fives can cause them to lose touch or interest in reality.
