march has been an ... interesting month. i suddenly found myself with no boyfriend, no job and no place to live.
logically, i should be freaking out. but you know, i suppose life will always throw you these surprise sneak attacks - ninja style - and ive never been one to resist adapting.
so change in plans. i bought a one-way ticket to chicago. i leave on the 10th. im treating this as an extended vacation, but im also going to be looking for a job while im out there. if things work out, ill make the move. thankfully, i have a sister out there. but if things dont work out, then ill come running back to california with my tail in between my legs and try to move to the bay area.
but im optimistic. |

the worst part about coming to davis is sunday night, when i have to leave all over again.
but it was a very pleasant weekend with a lot of fun and interesting moments. im glad that more of my friends are having sex. it must be the cold weather.
oh and i have a new stuff animal. he's a merekat and his name is neeko. loves him. |

| xmas? really? |

i can't believe christmas is less than two weeks away.
so in the hour of procrastination, how do you feel about the holidays this year?
discuss.
i think the holidays feel less and less special every year. its difficult for me to even remember that its christmas, aside from the crappy holiday articles i have to write, which i loathe. i dont think anyone in my family is buying presents this year. i guess we're all too old to go thru the trouble. well atleast ill get to jump back down to LA for a few days.
but remember the days when you would decorate the trees as a kid and shake your presents to see what you were getting? i grew up in minnesota, so i remember making snow men and snow forts and that whole white christmas shit. good memories.
i guess my point is that the holidays are depressing...or atleast bittersweet. i think every year this time of year reminds you that you are getting old and being pushed further and further into adulthood. i do have some things to be thankful for, like friends and family and FFXII and WoW, but i honestly prefer the holidays to be over sooner, rather than later. then atleast things can go back to some degree of normalcy. |

im doing what i said i would never do again: stay overnight in davis on sunday.
got coffee with hannah but am too tired/too wired to drive back to san andreas.
so im trying my best to do some work tonite at kennys and wake up at the ass-crack of dawn to drive to work.
dammit all to hell. |

a mother started sobbing after the jury found her daughter guilty of first degree murder.
and the first thing i did was grab my camera and snap a photograph.
it may sound pussy-ish, but sometimes i wish i was covering arts/entertainment again. |

| work on the weekends |
[Dec. 2nd, 2006|02:15 pm] |
my eyes are dialated, making it difficult to see straight. driving in this condition has proven to be an adventure.
my throat is still sore from karoake last night. i wonder how professional singers do this all the time...
also, apparently i can't receive text messages anymore. and i probably havent been able to for awhile now. so dont be mad if you've texted me and i didn't reply.
i am sad to report that i fell off the wagon this weekend. i bought my first pack of cigarettes in over 2 months. a stressful job and lack of opportunity to exercise is a bad combo.
will be in davis next weekend for sure. so SF or something kids? |

| contemplative post. incoming. |
[Nov. 29th, 2006|11:46 pm] |
so ive been thinking a lot about life lately. not just about what im doing now and my current situation, but what i should be doing. and its the 'should' part that can be so overwhelming at times. honestly, im just so anxious to get started with plans. what i have here in san andreas, isn't quite what i had in mind for myself at this point in my life. i need to live in a city. i need to be around other people. i need to be in touch with my creative, pretentious, artsy, homo side again.
so while i was down in LA, i had some time to think about things. and have a few plans floating around.
-quit my job in march/april
-live in davis/sac for a few months. hopefully will be able to get some freelance work.
-move out to minneapolis in the summer (okay this is a new one)
-settle over in NY by 2008
ill be 25 by then. dear lord. well this is all just conjecture at this point. things may change. plans may accelerate. but im excited. its been awhile since i could start thinking about the bigger picture again. maybe i should work on losing a few pounds...
anyhoo, im pulling some of you guys with me. lets do this.
oh, and team cari dee all the way |

| my future...according to the chinese |
[Nov. 28th, 2006|01:31 pm] |
i received three fortunes in my fortune cookie today. they are as follows:
-rely on long time friends to give you advice.
-now is the time to call loved ones at a distance. share your news.
-an interesting musical opportunity is in your near future.
so this is what i envision happening soon:
me and hannah are hanging out one day and she suggests we move to new york to get into modeling. i, of course, will get a sex change op and try to hit the european fashion scene. anyway, so i take her advice, but the only problem is, we're both broke. so she suggests we kill derek and steal his millions, given to him by the numerous sugar daddies he has banged in the past ten years. we soak the tip of his dildo in poison and his death comes easily and quickly. finally, his myspace name's prediction comes to fruition.
so hannah and i go to new york and take steve along (we needed someone to carry our luggage and purses) and hit up the ny fashion world. we hit it big right away and ditch steve immediately, who ends up working the mu shu stand in chinatown (hes not chinese, but the boy's gotta work) things go well initially and we're featured in all the hot mags and with all the hot designers. but sadly a combination of coke, heroine and cough syrup leads to our downfall. OK magazine ends up publishing scandalous shots of us mid-use, and we get kate moss-ed. except we dont bounce back and do nikon commercials.
so we're fucked basically. but then we realize that steven valentino has been making a name for himself out in new jersey (bleh, i know) and we call him up to see if he can help us out. it just so happens that he has been trying to get a band started up, but his other members all died in a tragic ferris wheel accident. so hannah, steven and i get the idea to start an experimental/mathcore/electro-art 80s hair band. i play tissue paper and comb while simultaneously making ocean and whale noises with my asshole. steven does tap dancing on tiny grains of imported japanese sand while on keyboards. and hannah does main vocals (altho our band doesn't really have "lyrics". more like soundwave lexicons of meaning) and basically stands there looking hot in scantily clad animal costumes (cat, chincilla, manatee, etc.) we call ourselves The Ayn Rands and our songs become just popular enough that we are successful in certain sensitive, high-school-boy-with-long-hair-eyeliner-and-feelings audiences, but not popular enough to garner a major label or airtime on MTV.

and there it is. thats my life according to the chinese. damn, they sure are a clever and accurate people. |

| photoshoot |
[Nov. 15th, 2006|10:17 am] |
hey hanna,
i was thinking we stage a bloody photoshoot this weekend if i can make it and if you are free. im thinking we can take b&w photos, use make up to draw in black eyes, and use chocolate syrup for blood. its very festive and holiday-themed. of course we'll haveta be partially nude.
and three posts in two days. havent done that in awhile... |
|
|
| visit me! |
[Nov. 15th, 2006|10:09 am] |

so some of you guys should come visit me in san andreas. snow season is coming up and i live about an hour away from a ski resort. im thinking a weekend snowboarding trip around the first week of december... |

| opening line to my holiday buyers article... |
[Nov. 14th, 2006|03:30 pm] |
Finding the perfect holiday gift is a dilemma that is as old as Jesus Christ. But unlike the Three Wise Men, some shoppers have no clue of what to get their loved ones.
eh it could work. i was gonna go off about how you just can find good myrrh these days, but it started to sound derogatory towards catholics... |

its sad that the only thing i have to write about is work. but alas i feel like making a post out from out here in skull country.
production days are madness. today i was on deadline for five stories and im still such a procrastinator about doing them ontime. so i had to write from about 11 to 4 straight.
i had to work both days this weekend. but on the plus side, jason let me borrow gold to get my mount and i hit lvl 41. :)
ive been spliting my time between wow and FFXII, which is amazing. im getting kinda sick of games though. human interaction with other homosexuals would be nice.
i may be able to make it to davis this weekend. altho i have a feeling i may haveta work on saturday. hopefully something fun is going on for mikes bday. oh and horrorfest is this weekend too.
i baked myself an apple pie today. picked the apples myself. |
