I am feeling super lethargic today. Probably has something to do with me only getting 5 hours of sleep and then somehow being awake for 22 hours and then only getting 7 hours of sleep today. 7 interrupted hours of sleep. At about 5 it started hailing and there was a thunderstorm so I sat up with Will and smoked a bowl and watched the lightening while he tried to call all his coworkers to tell them tonights shift was cancelled due to the weather. Finally fell back asleep when I left at like 6:30 to go to the garage just in case anyone showed up so he could tell them to go home. Got up at 8 and now I am on my way to work wearing my new purple pants and despite the rockstar I drank I am still SO tired.
And it is first Thursday (which is a huge stupid art walk downtown) AND the beginning of fleet week tonight. So I get to deal with drunken sailors and drunk pretentious hipsters all night. AWESOME. |

My hair matches my chair!
I need need NEED to go to American Apparel today and stock up on vnecks. The cheap ones I have from forever 21 have stretched out all awkwardly. Like...width wise. I mean they were only $4 each so I am not too upset about it, but it is annoying. I will probably pick up another couple of shirts for Will while I am there. I bought him 2 crew neck tshirts from there about a month ago and now all he wants to wear is their tshirts haha. I think I will get another of their pocket skirts too. I bought a black one and have been practically living in it, its the best skirt ever invented.
Ok, enough about American Apparel. I had more to say, specifically about Dave the douchebag I posted about previously. I used to live with him and Owen and when I moved out I forgot my bong there. I kept forgetting to get it and it wasn't too high on my list of priorities because I have pipes. So on Monday Owen brought the bong over and last night I went to clean it and find that it has a HUGE crack in it. Obviously Dave was the only one using it because he is the only one who lives there that smokes pot so yeah he broke it and didn't bother to tell me. That bong has been passed down through many many Roxy employees so that's why I am pissed. Dave broke the special Roxy bong :[ |

I know I just posted but Jessica and I are looking at saucy_dwellings over on LJ and getting so stoked about renting an entire house. We both want to start buying stuff for it now but there is just NO ROOM for anything else in this apartment. Maybe we need to get a storage unit...
But seriously, look at this. My room is CRAMMED. No way I could get anything else in here. I already had to move my computer into the living room, where there was barely room for it.
That's the other side that you can't really see. My bed is behind the bookshelves, along with my dresser and that is as clean as my room gets.
A whole house is going to be so nice. |

Ugh I have got to find a nice way to get Owen to uninvite Dave (oh excuse me, he prefers to spell his name Däv because he is a jackass) from Monopoly Monday. The dude is just insufferable. He is ok when sober, but on Mondays he is usually drunk and just does.not.shut.up. He isn't even the funny sort of drunk, he is the sort of drunk that gets all "intellectual" so he can prove to you just how "smart" he is. It's always blah blah blah economics, I am an economics student so I should be good at monopoly, oh no the housing crisis blah blah blah obscure poly sci reference hey look at me I am a jackass who pretends to know french and german and I think that if I say jibberish with an accent people will think I am speaking another language ECONOMICS POLITICAL SCIENCE LOOK AT MEEEEE I AM IN COLLEGE.
It's just like SHUT UP. Ok, you're smart. The rest of us are smart as well but we don't feel the need to prove it while playing a FUCKING BOARD GAME. And the fact that he feels he needs to prove how smart he is really makes me doubt his intelligence. I really hate pseudo intellectuals.
Will was thisclose to asking him "hey did you learn all those words at Talk Like A Dick school?" But he didn't and I really wish he would have. Fuck that guy.
Speaking of Will, he woke me up today with a delicious lamb gyro. La la la love that boy. I mean I think I actually love him and it has almost slipped out at least 50 times in the past couple of weeks but I am scared to actually say it. It has only been 4 months and 2 of those months we weren't even really dating, dating. Don't know what to do but I am sure I will figure it out. |

Ugh so last night James no called no showed. Brian had requested the night off so James was supposed to host in his place. When I woke up around 8, I had a text from James that he sent at 3:21 pm saying if would host for him that night he would give me $100 cash, because he was at the bar (still) and was playing pool with some hot girl. I totally would have accepted the offer except I was ALREADY WORKING. I barback on Fridays.
He never shows up, we can't get anyone to come in for him and so we had yet another chaotic night where we were short staffed. I took over most of the hosting duties but it was a pain in the ass because since I was the barback, I didn't have a till so I couldn't take to go orders. And some asshole came behind the counter because he was being impatient about having to wait for a table and I had finally told him he had to leave. I am pretty sure he meant to attack me but Mikey stopped him before he got to me.
Ugh my break is over. We are getting annihilated tonight because of the Starlight parade. I hate the Rose Festival. |

I was just laying here minding my own business, reading my book and Will nibbled on my cheek. I was all "what the fuck are you doing sir" and he goes " I don't know, I like your face so I thought it might taste good. It tastes like lotion"
Odd creature. Odd creature that I fucking adore.
I can't decide whether I want to see Neko Case, PJ Harvey or Sonic Youth. All are on days I work and I already have some days already scheduled off this summer, the night of the premier of Half Blood Prince being one of them. I wish we weren't so understaffed. |

Will found a picture on 4chan of what is probably the cutest kitten ever the other day.
We spent at least 20 minutes freaking out about how fucking cute it is. I love how much he absolutely loves cats.
Life has been ok, except for Sunday night at work's royal suckfest. Lets just say I didn't get out of there until 7:30 am and I usually get out of there around 4:30 am on Sunday.
Last night at work we had this couple come in and one of them was super super trashed. He threw up all over the table, the bench, the floor and himself. His boyfriend (or friend or random hookup or whatever he was) came up to me and asked me for a couple of napkins. At this point I hadn't even realized that the vomiting had happened. So I start to hand him some paper napkins and he goes "no no no like a towel. A cloth". So I get a bar towel and go over to his table thinking it was just a water spill and saying I would clean it up and nope. Puke all over the table. I am sort of immune to puke at this point so I still say that I will clean it up. He INSISTED upon cleaning it up. And he did. The table, the bench and the floor. I was amazed. He said it was no big deal and that he works in the service industry and thinks its very rude when someone pukes and makes the staff clean it up. I told him he was awesome. Kinda restored my faith in humanity a little.
So anyways, his friend comes out of the bathroom and he is making him drink water and orders some coffee and is trying to get him to drink that. Another thing that rarely happens at my work. I have seen so many completely wasted drunk people just abandoned by their so-called friends. Dude has to puke again, doesn't quite make it to the bathroom. And this guy once again cleans it up.
Then they decide to leave and he gives me $20. For the two coffees. So not only did he clean up vomit, he tipped me really well for having to deal with his drunk friend.
I really wish more people were like that. |

Bah I am so tired. Last night at work was insane. The diner I work at is 24 hours (like all good diners should be) but we are closed on Mondays. We usually stop seating people around 3 am Sunday night/Monday morning.
Not last night. The genius that is the owner's daughter/manager, April somehow completely forgot that is was Memorial Day weekend and that since it is a 3 day weekend it would probably be as busy as a Friday or Saturday night. She also did this same thing on Fat Tuesday.
Anyhow so we had two servers scheduled, myself and Richard, and our barback and a dishwasher and one cook. Good enough for most Sundays, the only reason we have two servers on Sundays is because there is a LOT of closing work to be done since we only close once a week.
But Richard ended up having to go into the kitchen and help the cook, so most of the night it was just myself and Josh the barback on the floor. The barback position at the roxy is basically a busboy, plus you bring people water, make drinks and when there is no host, you seat people. I got to do everything else. And I was acting as a host as well because Josh is terrible at crowd control. Basically I was just running around trying to take orders, deliver food, make drinks (because Josh kept disappearing), cash people out and answer the phone to take to-go orders. It doesn't sound like much when I write it out but it was complete chaos.
People just kept coming in and coming in and I didn't get to put up the closed sign until 4. Didn't get everyone seated and fed until almost 5 and didn't get out of there until 7:30. I could kill April for her insistance that everything would be "fine". No. We need a full weekend staff (two servers, a barback, a host, two cooks, a dishwasher) for fucking holidays and she should know this.
At least I made $300 and walked with $220 after tipping people out but STILL. |

I henna'd my hair!
It is a lot more vibrant in person. I actually did this on Wednesday, but that's recent enough. I wasn't sure about it at first but now I love it and don't regret ditching the platinum at all. Although now I think I have to stick to all black clothing because a lot of the colored clothing I have will clash with my hair.
Dan called it "hot android chick from the future" hair and Jason said I looked like "catwoman meets thunderdome". AWESOME.
Jessica's boyfriend Ray is moving in and he is bringing over his furniture right now and Jessica and I are like "crap where the fuck are we going to put all this?" We have the tiniest two bedroom ever that we pay way too much for. That's what you get for living downtown. When our lease is up in January we are all planning on getting a house together, with Will as well if I am still dating him. It has only been 4 months so I am not making any huge plans with him yet, but in January it will have been a year so if we are still together I think a year is long enough to move in with someone. Ray gave me a memory foam pad and a mattress pad so now my bed is the ultimate in comfort. Fuck yes.
I am rambling and my thoughts are all jumbled. Shutting up now.
Oh and here is a picture of Will slacking off at work
I am kinda bummed I don't have any pictures of us together yet. He hates having his picture taken. |

I have neglected this journal and I am sorry! It is basically summer and I have been spending less time on the internet and more time working on creative ventures and feeling restless. I feel like something big is going to happen this summer and I don't know if it will be good or bad, but I am sure it will be big.
Will and Jessica and I dropped some acid this morning. Jessica and I only took half a hit each and Will took a whole one because he didn't have to work tonight. I hadn't done acid in so long and I forgot how much I love it. I love the super heightened sense of awareness of my surroundings, the blissful relaxed feeling it gives me and how everything is just so much more colorful and vibrant. I sat in my bright orange chair for a good half an hour, the sun was shining right on me and I was just staring at Will with a grin on my face. I took a walk back to work because I forgot my book there and had decided it was important for ultimate relaxation and it was the best walk ever. I was listening to Nick Cave's album "Let Love In" and hearing piano parts I had never noticed before. When I came home and started coming down I took a valium and just laid in the sun reading and chainsmoking and was so content. Then I went to sleep and had some crazy dreams. My bed is right next to a window and I left the curtains open because Will and I wanted to sleep in the sunshine. Laying there with my head on his bare chest with one of his arms around me and his hand playing with my hair was one of the best moments I have had in a long time. I think I am falling in love with him. |

Two pictures from wiwt2.
Also, note to self. Do not take pictures for a fashion community while drunk. It causes you to try really hard not to laugh and make an awful face like in the first one.
I give this entry 15 minutes before my e-stalker reads it and posts these pictures all over trying to get people to talk shit about me. |

On Wednesday I got everything on my list accomplished. It is times like those when I step back and think "whoa, I am really an adult now". The thought is sort of scary to me. Can't believe I will be 26 in 4 months.
But yeah, I got everything done then went to Scandals with Tiffany and ran into gay Will (obviously not my Will) there and after Tiffany left we went to Ground Kontrol to play Street Fighter and Pinball. Ground Kontrol is a 21+ arcade with old school video games and a ton of pinball. One of the bartenders, Aeden is a buddy of mine so he hooked me up with free beers. I left around 11 and walked half a block and ran into my Will and since he was working I got a ride back to work with him so I could pick up all of my many shopping bags and give him the two shirts I bought him at American Apparel. Had some coffee there to sober up a bit then walked home. Took a nap, woke up, did my hair and that was basically it.
Then yesterday was just a normal Thursday. Nothing really of note. |

Fuck. Only got like 4 and a half hours of sleep. I have a ton of errands to run today but I need my paycheck to fund some of them. Well, since I refuse to spend any of my tips, all of them. Paychecks don't get there until 5. In 3 hours. I know there is no way I will get back to sleep anytime soon so I am debating just getting up now, grabbing a rockstar, and then after getting my paycheck and running errands just taking a nap since I don't have to work tonight.
I seriously have a fucking laundry list of places to go. I have to go to Sally Beauty to get more bleach powder and purple shampoo, Spartacus because they are the only place that carries Manic Panic's Virgin Snow toner and that shit made my hair white as fuck last time, Nordstrom/Macy's/Saks to find a good pair of plain black flats, Everyday Music to pick up some CDs for the work jukebox, Powells to get the next book in my series and pick up a readable copy of And The Ass Saw The Angel that I can actually let people borrow(its Nick Cave's novel and I have a first UK edition of it that I paid $200 for so hell if I am letting anyone borrow THAT) and TMobile to pay my phone bill. Oh and American Apparel to pick up some organic cotton tshirts for Will and f21 to get some new underwear.
FUCK.
Maybe I should get 2 rockstars. |

My completely psychotic ex boyfriend, Phil, now lives 2 blocks away from me.
FUCK.
If he starts any of his crazy stalker bullshit again I am going to be seriously pissed. I don't doubt that if I see him at safeway or the cigarette store that he will start again. Great. I love when my personal safety becomes threatened. |

Yessssss. My roommate's old roommate is giving us her camera. I am excited about this even though I will probably only really use it to take pictures of my outfits for whatiworetoday2 on livejournal. But that will motivate me to dress better and more creatively instead of the same old vneck and jeans every day. Which is sort of what I am wearing today, but with my sort of shiny black rich & skinny pants.
Sooo yea. Pictures later and stuff. |
