So if I’m a liar and you’re a thief. At least we both know where the other one sleeps.

Really stressful day at work today. REALLY. Read the rest of this entry »





Wednesday. Pretend to understand the reasons for doing what you can. So what? No one gets the things they plan.

So let’s recap the day so far, shall we? Read the rest of this entry »





Stay positive

27 08 2009

I need to get out of this funk I’m in. This week has been so very stressful. You can see it on my face. Literally. I’m breaking out and I’ve got a set of Louis Vuitton’s under my eyes. I’ve been at work until 7:00 every night, that’s not helping. So what will? Read the rest of this entry »





Ummm, hello? Is anybody out there?

25 08 2009

I see you. I’m getting a huge surge in traffic (thank you Jami, love you!) and no comments. What gives?

I get really nervous when people search for my blog by name. I try very hard to keep it anonymous. Today I had one that was lower case and capital banky. If you’re my friend and you read this on a regular basis, you know the address or you bookmark that shit. Don’t stalk me. I don’t like it. Creepsters. Read the rest of this entry »





Don’t look at me with those mitten filled eyes!

30 07 2009

Where did I leave off? Oh yeah, we tried to shave the cat and hung out with MFEO.

The rest of the week was really low key. Monday we sort of ended up hanging out with the BNB all day by accident. I went to see him at work and get my present. He forgot it at home, so we went over there and played with the puppy. I also managed to steal a book and season one of Full Metal Alchemist. When we walked out of the shop, Poprocks looks at me and makes some comment about he could see why we were friends or compatible or something. After a whole 10 minutes. I’m glad every one else can see it. Whatever. If it was meant to be, it would have been.

Tuesday we didn’t do much, Banky came over and hung out and smoked some hookah and drank some beer. I got a text from facebook telling me Toast dumped me again. Via facebook message. Yep. I’m not even sad or angry this time. Just annoyed. So over it. When Banky left, Poprocks’ comment was “I can see why that went where it did”. I didn’t ask for elaboration. We spent the rest of the evening playing Mario Party on Gamecube and cracking up. We used to stay up until dawn playing that shit with Douche McGee and we’d all fall asleep in the same bed, like a bunch of puppies. I miss those days.

Wednesday we ran errands and were lazy. We decided to graduate to Mario Party for Wii. I kicked his ass in everything except boxing. We both almost had massive coronaries from boxing. He beat me and I cracked up because in the course of our 10+ year relationship I have given him at least three bloody noses. Irony. We has it.

I gifted Poprocks back to his family today. Then I left town to go see mine. I drove what felt like days, and I finally hit the border. I stopped in to see my sister at work and get a bite to eat. Everyone decided to bail on us, so we’re laying in bed reading/writing and smoking cotton candy flavored hookah. This was after and epic adventure at the grocery store. We shop for food like pregnant stoners. We got everything from english muffins to pizza and chips and salsa. It still doesn’t beat the night we bought a pie and stuff to make guacamole.

We are not going to Warped Tour as previously planned, Totoro couldn’t get off work and Dinga has to save her money for senior pictures. So Totoro and I may go shopping tomorrow for a dress for me for the wedding. It’s in September. The same day as the Lucero show. It’s in the city that Douche lives in though, so I think that’s just me being looked out for.

I am going to start reading Blood Meridian by Cormac McCarthy this weekend. I am excited and scared. I know it’s going to be really bloody, but I am excited to put it to the soundtrack Ben Nichols put together for me, in my head. In fact, I’m going to go listen to it now and perhaps start my book. Or go to bed. I am so old and tired.





Killing me softly

27 07 2009

I can’t sleep. Probably because my sleep pattern is all fucked up now, and maybe because there’s a lot on my mind.

First of all, I can’t even put into words how awesome it’s been having Poprocks here. Even just sitting on the couch all day watching SVU together was awesome. I can just look over my shoulder and he’s there. It’s blissful. We have laughed so hard over so many silly things.

Friday night we went to the fair with Savannah. It was an experience. I outlined all the highlights. I got my picture taken with a tiger cub. It was the best thing ever. I ate a corn dog and heard Free Bird  and saw lots of farm animals. We invented a new word. Nurpa. It’s a fopa on your neck. We got hysterical over the definition of fopa on Urban Dictionary. I had to call MFEO and leave her a voicemail. I cried the whole way through it. I could not stop laughing. I think it was the combination of hookah, cider and massive amounts of sugar. Fantastic.

Saturday we hung out with MFEO. We ran around town amusing ourselves and then went to dinner. Savannah joined us and again, we all laughed until we cried over stupid shit. I love my friends. After dinner, we went back to MFEO’s where her husband and I attempted to shave her cat. That’s not a euphemism. We really shaved her cat. Or tried to. We failed. Hard. Enre

Mr. MFEO and I were crying by the end of it. MFEO was not happy, but she should have been since Mr. MFEO and I bonded.

Today we laid around and watched SVU all day and I completely forgot about Clark’s wedding shower because I am a crappy friend. I feel like shit. I keep apologizing. My brain just got all caught up in Poprocks being here. I forgot. I fail. Space Cowboy called tonight and we talked it over. I will figure out a way to make it up to him.

Nothing new under the sun

24 07 2009

So my beloved Poprocks is in the state, but not in my possession yet. It’s ok. I was done working at 10:24am and I’ve been participating in a water gun fight ever since. Somedays I do love my job.

Things have been quiet, which usually means good. Things seem to be settling in with Toast. We watched Coraline last night and I LOVED it! Martha, let me borrow the book, please?

The weather has been perfection, my music selections have been choice…there are so many wonderful things happening right now. Mostly the fact that, POPROCKS IS HOME!

As soon as he arrives we are going straight to the tobacco store to pick up hookah accessories. Then we’re gathering a motley crew (including the lovely Savannah and Wifey) and heading to the county fair. I will have wonderful stories tomorrow, I am so sure. Wifey and I decided we need to get drunk this weekend and “make memories”. If it’s successful, they will be other people’s memories…not ours.

Saturday, Poprocks and I will be spending some time with MFEO. They have not met. I expect worlds to collide. I’m sad she’s pregnant, we could have drank Russia dry of it’s vodka between the three of us. Oh man, I am on booze lust. I can’t help it, my friends lead me to drinking. Hehe.

The BNB got awful chatty with me today. He reminded me that he got me a present and he wants me to come get it. Chasing Amy. If this was a few months ago, I’d be falling all over myself to get there. Now…well, I hope I talked him into finishing my sleeve pro bono. I love him, but he can choke on it if he thinks I’m still playing this game.

Banky asked me to come over and drink Tuesday night. “Just to drink?” “Yeah, sorry.” Sorry? Seriously? What a twat. He is another one who is delusional if he thinks we are ever going to go back to that bullshit. We share a very strong bond because of how we met, but it will never go back to that cat and mouse bullshit.

Anyway, that’s what’s up with me…what’s new with you? Stay tuned for updates of the week so epic, it will make the baby jesus weep tears of awesome.





Thinking on things you wish you hadn’t, things you wish you remembered.

16 07 2009

I know I say it a lot, but I don’t usually mean it like this.

I am an asshole. Seriously.

I have done nothing but piss and moan about how people need to man up and come to me if they have a problem and not talk about it behind my back or hid behind anonymous screen names. Then I was set straight today by a friend I probably take for granted.

I was pissed off last night. I was hurt. I felt judged and attacked and frustrated. I thought I was doing the right thing by working through it on my blog. I never meant to be passive aggressive or call anyone out. But I did just that. I saw myself as venting about something that upset me. I use this blog as a tool to work through my (many) issues. I am surprisingly non-confrontational. I wasn’t mad at anyone, so I didn’t think I was directing my frustration at anyone. I’m slow.

I am lucky I have friends in spite of all the stupid shit I do. I am thankful that this one took me aside and called me on my bullshit. I needed a reality check. I should’ve taken the problem to her first, not here. For that I apologize. I wasn’t even mad at her, so I didn’t see what I did wrong or how much of a hypocrite I was being at first. We had a really good talk today. As I said before, I know it comes from a good place and I put myself in her shoes. I’ve been there before. I was being an idiot. I had no idea how hurt or angry I was until I re-read what I wrote. So, to my beloved girls…you know who you are, I sincerely apologize and promise not to suck anymore.

That being said….

My life is so predictable. The men in it are anyway. Banky texted me most of the afternoon. It started off as him telling me he bought his brother sunglasses but he was afraid they may be female. I confirmed. We argued about that for awhile. Then he told me The Dead Weather – Hang You From The Heavens was his new favorite song. So I went and listened to it.

I am trying this new thing, called DON’T FUCKING READ INTO EVERY LITTLE THING. But after the conversation we had yesterday and him being back to his old ways (I know, I know. I’m stopping it now.) it is hard not to. But I’m not. I’m really not.

While I am not that into them, blasphemy according to some, that guitar is sexy. The lyrics… His favorite? I like to grab you by the hair
and drag you to the devil.
I need new men in my life. I told him my new favorite song was Jon Snodgrass’ cover of Wild One. Seriously. It does something to me. Born Apart is a close second. I am counting down the milliseconds until I get to see him live. I want to kiss him on the cheek.

So yeah, all afternoon is back and forth bickering with Banky. I get home, relax and am starting my routine of falling asleep on the couch while watching NCIS reruns with the dog. Phone rings. BNB. You. Have. Got. To. Be. KIDDING.

He found me a copy of Chasing Amy and picked it up for me. Awww, what am I supposed to say? Hey kitchen dick, thanks for getting back to me a month later, now that you’re single again. Dick. So he wants to tell me all about his break up with the scrap pile from The Creature Shop. I tell him about Banky and Toast. We laugh at each other and I realize I have shifted so drastically in my feelings towards him. He is like a big brother, not the dude I spent all of my adult life head over heels for. Progress, no?

Totoro had called, so I called her back and said BNB had called. “What, is he single again?” Damn. Predictable. They all are. I love them in my own way and they love me in theirs. If they didn’t mean anything, they wouldn’t be around. Plus, BNB is one helluva artist. I’m not walking away from discount tattoos either.

I thought a lot about what I was told today, about making the best of what I have. I don’t like advice. I rarely ask for it. Mostly because it just turns me into a dick. Especially unsolicited. I am trying to get better about it. But, I was given some things to think about today. I’m going to try writing short stories maybe once a week. They may even show up here now and again. I need to break this writer’s block. I’m also going to start posting things that inspire me. I discovered Imgfave today. If you’re curious, you can browse through the things I’ve saved so far here.

I think this is all I need to say today.

terrible/perfect

I lied. One more thing.

Impatient





Can’t believe I’m wasting these lines on you

14 07 2009

Alright, first things first. The important stuff.

I FINALLY got my Cory Branan/Jon Snodgrass split! Jon’s cover of Thin Lizzy’s Wild One is amazing. Goosebumps. Cory’s long awaited studio version of Walk Around? DISAPPOINTED. He doesn’t say “fucking golden unicorn”. That’s what MAKES that song. Every thing else is amazing. Cory’s Yeah, So What? may be a new favorite. Born Apart has a harmonica part that makes me MELT. To my fucking core. These two can do no wrong.

Ok, enough about things that make me happy. Let’s move on to things that burn my ass. Cowards. I live my life very honestly. Or I try to. I can’t sleep at night knowing there’s something I need to say and I haven’t said it. Hello, that’s why I blog before bed. So I don’t understand who left me that comment. Here’s my theory…

That comment was either made by someone who desperately craves attention- wait. No, no matter what, that comment was made by an attention whore. That much is obvious. It was either completely random, and made by someone who just likes to fuck with people. Ok, fine. Whatever, kitchen dick. It’s cool.

If it WAS by someone I know or who knows me, well…my thoughts are much simpler. Fuck you. If you have something to say to me, or if I have so grievously offended you…MAN UP. Tell me to my fucking face, or at least let me know who you are. There was NOTHING in that blog that deserved that. That comment didn’t even make sense. What did I do? You’re right. I don’t have any idea. Tell me. Also, if you knew me at all you would know I pride myself on being ridiculous, and yes…even disgusting. Lighten the fuck up. Laugh at me, I do. Laugh at yourself.

When I first read that comment I laughed hysterically for a good 10 minutes. Then I called Toast and read it to him. He was confused as well. Then I called Totoro. She was the first one to say out loud what my fear was. What if it was the dumbcuntwhorebagslutface that stole my man? If it was, how do you like your new nickname, slag?

Here’s the thing, that crazy ass bitch… She got what she wanted. My life. She took my future. My boyfriend, my plans, my past…she robbed me of all of it. Then, she had the fucking audacity to keep tabs on me. She refuses to let Douche even utter my name. He is not allowed to be friends with me. He suggested I write to her and ask her permission, basically. Clearly, eight years together and he didn’t even know me that well. See, he misses me. I miss him too. Shut up. He was my best friend for nearly a third of my life. This August would have been our ten year anniversary. So, little miss homewrecker…FUCK YOU. Every reason he said he didn’t want to be with me for, you have magnified. Karma, is that you?

I don’t know if it was her or not. I do know I quit writing in my livejournal for the most part because she would log into his and read mine, unbeknownst to either of us. So he says. This was up to six months ago, when he deleted it. It had been a year and a half. I had walked away. She is certifiable, man. He knew about Banky because she told him. Those two deserve each other.

Anyway, that’s the end of it. It pisses me off because I write this blog for me. No one else. I don’t care if people read or comment. I write to work through shit in my own foul-mouthed way. If you don’t like it, DON’T READ IT. It’s just common fucking sense.

Really moving on this time. I am trying to convince Space Cowboy to write a blog. He sends me the most amazing texts ever. He’s hilarious and would be a riot to read. Today we continued a conversation about the BNB’s breakup with Jim Henson’s abortion. (TM Space Cowboy, 2009)

“I mean if I woke up looking like some half assed Sesame Street abomination, I would run towards the nearest living thing and kill it.”

PRICELESS.

I am a very lucky girl. I have a lot of very close guy friends. Space Cowboy, Halpert, Clark, J-Bear, Vampire…even Banky. No matter what has happened between any of us, we are always friends. They are protective, tell me I’m pretty, do sweet things for me. It’s almost like having my own harem. Without the feeding of grapes and whoring it up. As much as I love these boys, and trust me, I do, they’re my brothers…nothing compares to my ladies.

I always hated girls. Always. I always had more dude friends. Then I found my people. The other girls who were like me, bitchy but honest. Thought and acted more like guys, and could drink most of them under the table. These are my surrogate sisters. Wifey, MFEO, Savannah Ruby Soho and Martha make every day bearable. Without them, I wouldn’t be the awesome woman I am today…on my way to burning in cunt hell. They’ll be joining me. Thank god. It’d be so boring alone.
