If you are looking for that perfect romance, be warned it may not start out this way. You may actually dislike each other at first, or become embroiled in a spirited conversation that takes you to the edge of a complete fall-out. However, just as rapidly, you can also make up, and this is where the story could get interesting.

but now i'm wondering if i imagined it.

...or if it was ever really there.

i was.

...thiiiiis close to donig a *drive-by today.

proud of myself for deciding against it:
what would be the point??


so what if you were home..so what if you weren't?



*not the like i'm going to kill anyone kine...just simply being creepy and driving by a casa.

roller coaster riding.

...although there are no actual rides here.

such is life.

almost october.

...got off work at 2:30 p.m. fell asleep watching dr.phil (at least 4 p.m.)..woke up at 6:30...thinking it was the A.M (mind you,i'm supposed to be clocking in at that time, and mind you, the outside lightness looked almost exactly as it is in the morning; besides i didn't notice exactly where the sun had been)...freaked out, grabbed my dirty, wrinkled smurft dress off the ground and ran out the door. i almost didn't call first, but was just hopping in the car and got a hold of my co-worker.

long story short, he's like, d, wtf, you have another 12 hours until you have to be here...and i'm like..."waaaaait, is it the p.m. still??"
it was.

my roommate said she wondered where i was going. hahaha...

didn't do much the rest of the evening except watch t.v. and the went to aiea bowl around midnight.

it's now 2:20 a.m...and i gotta again work at 6:30 a.m.

peace.

Saturday, September 24, 2011

remember.

...plenty other fish in the sea.

a(nother) lonely september.

Sagittarius - Saturday, September 24, 2011

Your intuition and imagination are operating at a very high level today, and you may be inspired to write. However, you aren't likely to have enough ideas or information to actually put pen to paper. There's no rush, though. Take some time to allow the ideas to crystallize and set them down later. Someone in a bad mood may draw you into a quarrel. Brush it off and say you're busy!

MSN Astrology


...chooots.


click: a lonely september.

work-wise, tomorrow is my tuesday...and it's back to the a.m.'s.


>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>


the wedding reception at work today gave me goosebumps like half the time. t'was nice.

i'm exhausted.

hey boy.

...why you didn't call me?



and really, you just injured my pride.






it's: the blow.

always loving this one: simple love song.

the truth hurts.

...had an ocean sesh. with kam. she filled me in on some needed info found out via social networking. like we had suspected, mr.too-good-to-be-true was exactly that, too good to be true- a.k.a. fake..

but:
at least now i know so if he came around...hellllll naw.
at least it didn't last any longer than it did, or the heart would have hurt more.
at least i know it wasn't totally ME.
at least i know he's a dick- NOT someone i would want to be with.
mostly, at least i know i can like someone other than o.d.
it all happened for a reason.
j said he doesn't deserve me anyway- he was right.


once again:
nothing ventured, nothing gained.


p.s.
i had a couple mid-day drinks after the beach with kam..nothing nuts.
psh, how quickly my decisions change.
but it was only appropriate, i thought.


looking forward to dinner at my new favoritest place e v e r: izakaya naru.

the sky trades the moon for the sun.

...good morning.


click: left on laura, left on lisa.

Wednesday, September 14, 2011

will you come again?

...it's hard to say. i surely hope so.

click: will you return.

just because the music is cool.

...doesn't mean the musician is.

naw, naw..he's aight, just not my type. thank got wing-cuz was there for the awkward dinner while i spaced out and thought about those i'd rather be cruising with.

(not so)routine check-up.

...began this morning, 8 a.m.

i was finally establishing care with my physician so i could then see a specialist for my wrists.

first off, i was sitting in the office waiting, kind of laughing to myself, wondering if my mom was right about me possibly being a bit of a hypocondriact (sp?). idk, i just feel that if something feels not right about my body and there is something further i could possibly prevent, i would rather take care of it now...

anyway, my primary said let's just do some blood work to check before seeing a specialist. right off the bat, the idea of "blood work" started making me feel nervous. next, the blood drawer said, "i'm gonna need three," and mind you, these tubes are NOT small. so this made me feel even worse. knowing how queasy i get, i pretty much figured i might pass out..especially because i only drank a little and didn't eat any breakfast before my appointment.

so as he's starting with the needle i started praying..saying the hail mary in my head, i think.

next thing i recall, i'm in what seems like the scariest f'in trip of my life. one of my first thoughts as i was coming to was wondering if i had o.d'd on drugs or something...but then i realized where i was again and realized that, yeah, i must have just passed out.

at first they thought i may have had a seizure, but i didn't (my body just jerked a bit when i fainted).

since i was only at a clinic when this happened, they called the emt's and i had my first ambulence ride (to the main hospital). (yes, they were speeding with the sirens, i.v. and everything..)

when i got there they did lots of tests, most of with the blood they had taken already. but they had to take one more blood test and i was crying because i was really scared. ...i ended up being okay though.

after a couple hours i was released. like i thought, the combination of pain/blood anxiety and not eating/drinking resulted in that. doc said to eat well, drink water and rest.

ae86 tomodachi picked me up and we got some lunch.


it was and unusual day, but i'm okay.

Tuesday, September 13, 2011

mail art.

...the really good kind of mail.
mahalo mo!

no labels.

...just d.
















pink barrette: had since i was a little kid. (used to be two)
black barrette: made in sixth grade with magazine cut-outs and nail polish.

one week no drink.

...it's actually been a week and two days to be exact. and i haven't missed it at all. honestly i've been feeling better and sleeping better. it's not like i had a huge problem with constantly drinking or something, i just feel that i had no limit/control when i did..and definitely inhibitions fly out the window. "diane is not diane when she drinks," accoring to j.bell. until i feel responsible/ready, no need drink/no like drink.

three day rule. well, this was originally my cousin greg's rule: "any girl who wants to make plans any more than three days in advance-mehh." ...you never know what can happen in three days- so true. ..n.d. and i were making plans for next month, etc. (mistake!!)
think i'm gonna try this new rule from now on. so if a guy asks me if i want to do something in a week, i'm gonna say, "ask me again in four days."


there's a new busser at work. he guessed i was 30 (he's 18). wtf.


yesterday i was feeling quite like a responsible adult. after work i went to lowe's to take care of somet carepting matters and then had my semi-annual check up/cleaning at the dentist.
i noticed my dentist's name is mr.hatanaka...which is really ironic because "tanaka" is a super common japanese last name, and "ha" means tooth/teeth in japanese!! haha...maybe that made my day.
after that i came home and went to sleep at five. (that was great, too.)

9.11

...another decent day at work. newspaper got me a little teary-eyed at the stand. cruised with my new friend b and then a nice mellow evening with the cuz.

internet down, boo. :/

Saturday, September 10, 2011

i wanna fit in.

...to the perfect space.

easy come.

...easy go?


i'm just gonna go ahead, wrap it up and tie it off as a good 'ol dream i had-kind of a blur.
(oh yeah, and that big lesson i learned)

my own best friend.

9-10-11

...it was a usual day at work. i doodled a lot of papers and had waaaaay too much thinking time.

i just looked up, theres a rainbow outside my window. mahalo yo.

after work the cousin, eds and i went to the women's expo. i got a bunch of dope old school fabric for cheeeeap, some banana bread and a very kawaii skirt...all things i needed (NOT).

b was in the area so i hit him up even though i don't really know him. haha.

Sagittarius - September 10, 2011

Don't expect much luck with computers today, Sagittarius, particularly when it comes to writing or communicating with others. Malfunctions with technology could plague you throughout the day. If you want to get a message to a friend, the best way might be to visit in person! Creative efforts could be hindered the same way. Today is a great day to fall back on good old pen and paper.

MSN Astrology

...hmm, perhaps the message will not get recieved.


on the bon iver band wagon: flume.


kell said if/when i decide to start drinking again i should wear a bracelet or something as reminder to drink water in between boosing, eat food and basically just not get nuts...but they way my forehead is looking, i'm thinking there may be a permanent reminder there already so no need bracelet, just need to look in the mirror... come on neosporin and mederma!

went to see a new friend's band with the cousin tonight. speaking of cousin, i looooove having her around.
[she's been here a week and she has a beau already. i can't even keep a beau two weeks..]

Friday, September 9, 2011

love song for no one.

...it's john mayer's (and mine). click: here. ..since it's friday and all.


the day started off well. i was pretty perky at 5 a.m. when the alarm sounded and then there was fried rice for breakfast at work.
(although it's friday, it's actually my tuesday. wamp, wamp no weekend for me)

a few hours ago i called this dude i met like about a month ago randomly. i think he was a little affended it had taken so long and/or didn't believe that i had juuuuuust happen to find his card i must had of misplaced. ;)
eh, it's not even ladaaaat. me and the roomie just happened to meet him and his band when they were jammin' at cha cha chaaaaa's.
perhaps go watch some tunes tomorrow.

at the end of the day (i mean week), n.d. never like call me- so,it is what it is what it is what it is. no hard feelings.


specifically at the end of this day, i will be doing the usual of hanging with my number one (myself), sewing up a storm and then sleeping.
chee.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

i needed a clothes rack for art & flea. i just decided to pop on craigslist and see what's up...
at 7:27 p.m. i texted the number for a rack that was available for ten bucks in the same area my humble abode is located. the guy gave me the address, told me come by...it was 300 ft. away- no joke. i was back home at 7:52 p.m.
some things are just meant to be.

Thursday, September 8, 2011

notepads, yay.

...and i'm not being sarcastic.

i like making notepads. most people are just weireded out at the fact that i specifically went out and bought "notepad compound".

north shore night cruise.

...was needed. wanted to get out of the house, didn't feel like going anyway particular so just drove.

other than that, i'm officially signed up for art & flea this month. it will be the debut of the blanket and shirts for sale. ..i'm a bit nervous, but (as my favorite quote of all time): "nothing ventured, nothing gained".




now listening: "skinny love", bon iver. it's nice.


wait, wait, wait...
i just realized what today's horoscope i previously posted had read:
"Stop, release the brake, and drive." ha.
yeah, well, my life is always like that.
and you know it, too.

Wednesday, September 7, 2011

i can't keep no secrets.

...i wish that you would always stay.

from "laundry room"..my numero uno avett bro's song (then again, they'll all my numero uno..)
our entire apartment is avett obsessed.


Sagittarius - Thursday, September 7, 2011

People may be trying to subtly communicate to you, but you may not be aware of this because you're so caught up in your own difficulties, Sagittarius. You may feel like you're driving with the emergency brake on. You're so preoccupied with running smoothly that you're unaware of other cars on the road. Stop, release the brake, and drive.

MSN Astrology

...eh??


so- went to anasias and the shack this evening...and only had food, coke and water. it felt good, too.

wrists and hands...bad. (mine that is)
they constantly crack and ache...i'm wayyyy too young for arthritis, faaaaak. i'll be making an appointment with the doc asap.
teeth need a cleaning, too.

Tuesday, September 6, 2011

it wouldn't have worked out anyway.

...so for now it's just another lonely day.

further along we just may...

but for now it's just another lonely day.




[click: ben harper's.]

hmm.


on that note, i'm at least feeling quite creatively motivated..blankets and shirts and more ideas than i can even keep track of.


i'll soon be getting my ceiling fixed, repainting and getting new carpet.. since my room has looked pretty much the same since high school and i'm almost twenty-six i'm thinking this is really my chance to get a little "mature" look going.. but i really don't know. i am who i am who i am....we'll see what happens.

sweetd&sunset.

kenekes.


alcohol free from here on out.

...because i have to; because i no can handle.

one would think i'd of learned my lesson last week, but no, it took yet another shameful episode to finally realize so.

the face and heart will be okay. although the cost was high, all i can do is take what i can from the situation, learn from it and live life better.


Sagittarius - September 6, 2011

Today you feel good within yourself, look great, and are so popular! The day's planetary constellation is bringing out your most attractive features. But if you are single and looking for a romantic liaison, you will have to find a way to make your intentions clear. You seem to be a little intense, and may need to cool off a bit so as not to frighten anyone away.

MSN Astrology

...too late. :/ such is life.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

i've only worked once in the past week. i'm NOT ready to go back tomorrow, i'm too used to vacation land.

was blessed with having some champuru, andadagi, okinawan soba, yakisoba, taco rice and yakitori at the okinawan festival this weekend.
even some some "shimanchu nu takara...".
ureshii yo!

Saturday, September 3, 2011

spoke to soon.

...and another regretful alcohol tale: one which cost me a scraped up face (equaling five days off work).



p.s.  take all that fun i've been having recently, wad it up and toss it out the nearest window.



why do i do this to myself?

Monday, August 29, 2011

all bottled up.





















[photo by: sweet d]

we are disgusting.

...and we know it. 
like totally attached at the hip, "this doesn't happen everyday," can't wait to kiss your face fun.


i finally see that o.d. (now standing for "old d") was not the only man in the world i would have feelings for.  even more, he's probably really not even as great as i built him up to be in my head.  (especially considering this last year that we've known each other we never really saw each other-via HIM)



anyways, bottom line:
it will be fun until it's not fun anymore...so enjoy while it is!

Saturday, August 20, 2011

and then there was a new d.

...(n.d.) at least for the time being. 

trav came through and hooked it up.


a pig with a familiar d name is included.


Monday, August 8, 2011

petaluma, ca.

half corn-rowed./ if i were a carpenter.

...today obviously sounded like a good day:
 went on a loooooong walk, which i hadn't done in a while, to/through waikiki; met up with saucey and tarik.  ...and all before a work meeting. ;)
..possibly some "apple to apples" later- which is so much fun btw.




















(corn rows hurt)
on a totally different note:  trav was going to try hook a sista up... we'll see if the boy calls.

diggin the johnny cash & june carter: if i were a carpenter.  ...uh huh.


Monday, August 8, 2011 Sagittarius-

This is a terrific day for you, Sagittarius. You should easily feel its power coming together in an upbeat, positive way. Others are apt to fall into place by your side as they realize the wisdom in your way of doing things. Remain confident and positive. Your adventuresome spirit is ready, so push away from the dock.               

MSN Astrology

...whoop whopp.




Saturday, August 6, 2011

i.

...wish'd you were there.

yuuup.  saw me some bodacious brandon boyd (from incubus) tonight. honestly i hadn't been looking forward to going really...but ended up having lots of fun. 
hmmm... :)

lovers, lunatics and losers.

...i read those three words in the newspaper yesterday. i love alliteration.
seeing as i ain't got much to do at the host stand i read the paper (incognito). and i started (trying) to do the crosswords.

other things that happened yesterday at work:
-i popped a button off my dress (filling out are we?)
-found a burn hole in my dress (whoooops, last night...)
-found a half flat tire on my mode of transportation after work (damn nail in the tire)

...sounds like a bad day, huh? but it was actually a good day reguardless:
-my mom would be happy if i'm filling out
-it's on a hidden part of my dress so it's mostly just funny
-got it fixed asap


on a not so cheery note: the avett brothers concert was cancelled. boooooooooooooooo.

and thennn...
i've been doing quite a bit of sewing.

and just working.



Tuesday, Auguest 8, 2011 Sagittarius-

Something big could be occurring close to home today, Sagittarius. It would be advisable to stay inside, if possible, or at least not stray too far. Traffic may be gridlocked and the sidewalks crowded with pedestrians anxious for a closer look. Use this self-imposed "house arrest" to do some neglected chores. Play music and have fun while you organize bookshelves and clear the clutter from your closets.

MSN Astrology

...mmm...yeah, looking forward to coming strait home after work [and sewing].

Tuesday, July 12, 2011

starvin' marvin.

...is in town.  [another friend i grew up with in okinawa]  gonna hit up the shack in a bit.


my first day of the a.m. shift didn't go as smoothly as planned.  first none of my usual uniforms were there, so i had to wear something different...with no socks :\  at least hosting is less walking and more just standing..but still feels gross.

and i came home and wacthed a documentry and took a nap- reeeeal productive. haha.

Monday, July 11, 2011

institutionalized.

love it: suicidal tendancies.

"i was in my room and i was just like staring at the wall thinking about everything, but then again i was thinking about nothing."

7eleven.

[tomorrow's...which is in a couple of hours]

Tuesday, July 12, 2011  Sagittarius-

Sometimes it's hard for you to believe something unless you see it firsthand, Sagittarius. However, the period you're in now may be pushing you to try and understand some of the mysteries on faith. Though you probably aren't one to do this very often, you may be feeling some kind of mystical impulse that makes you think about the nature of your beliefs.

MSN Astrology

...pretty much so. 


tomorrow is the start of my new schedule.  ...hopefully i'll start it off right, and keep it that way. 

gotta have faith....  ahaha.  got me thinking about the remake limp bizkit did of "faith" (which yes, i did just look up on youtube.). that's definitely on the "should have played on the radio" list.  well, maybe someday when i sub.
reminds me of the "teen center" days (yes, that's what it was really called) back on kadena in okinawa.  and all those skater boys, like my friend d.k. who was just visiting last month.  and old my boyfriend, "worm hair boy" as my little brother called him- b-boy.
haven't thought about those days in a while.

a n y w a y s,

i should probably start a memior.  i'm pretty sure that's spelled wrong, but you know what i mean, vern.
my mom told me that a while ago.  and things she tells me is ususally right.  like, she tole me a loooong time ago, like in h.s., i should move to hawaii after i graduated.  but i didn't.  i went to minnestoa first, and hated it, and then moved to hawaii.
back to the point:  it would be a memior about okinawa.  just random thoughts about my growing up therrrr. 
one thing i really have to decided first is how honest i want to be.  i mean, of course i would never lie, but i'm not sure if i should tell the whole truth.  i mean, anybody could possibly read it. 
so should i keep it private?  and when i die someday someone (hopefully future spawn or something) will find it and....
or, it could be public. and raw.  because i'm a pretty strait up person.
but that sometimes gets me into trouble.

we shall see.

leapin' lizzard!

yay life.

had an awesome day at the beach with jacinto. 

then talked with mom on the phone for a good hour.

corns no more.

Saturday, July 9, 2011

what are the chances.

....i'd find another one of this:














or this:

Friday, July 8, 2011

a pup.



















me and the roomie met some dudes with cute puppies.


[reminders of then.]

the times.

...they are a changin.

really.  they are.

for starters my whole schedule is going to flip-flop.  as in, instead of working nights, like i've been doing for the last forever...i'm now going to start work at 6:30 a.m.  that then leaves me the rest of the day to do whatever. (rather than the usual of just sleeping before starting work at 2:30 p.m.; i'll now be leaving work then.) 
i'm going to miss all the nighers, but i think it's best for me.  originally i was a morning person.
i think i will be more productive.  i can go paddle board after work across the street, swim laps by kcc..something active.  espeically because now that i'm just hosting, i'm definitely less physical at work than before.

i still need a tan.

nap.

sew x/day..(a goal to later be specified.)

get out of the house [with people] on my days off.


work is really my only responsibility right now. 
speaking of the no more:  last night's last session with sweet d on the radio went well.  lots of people called..good 'ol b- whoever you are.

Monday, July 4, 2011

recent vices: sandwiches.

...club and ice cream kinds..  
yuuum.


other recent things:
lost an arm wrestling match i joined randomly at fresh cafe.  i did put up a damn good fight to that tall white girl dressed like a super hero though.  j.rak and her boy saw it go down..hilarious.

i've been at work everyday for almost two weeks strait.


the corns are getting better (i guess??), but still look d i s g u s t i n g.   [luckly i won't post any photogs.]


my last radio show is this week.

Saturday, July 2, 2011

boobtube.

i don't watch much t.v. (*yet), except like re-run oprahs at midnight and dr.phils which play before that.  so as i was just watching oprah, she mentioned something about how life has signs, like little whispers...i just wanted to say: i agree.


*getting a wii.  getting netflix.  cheeeeeeeee  and maybe a new t.v. (eventually)

watashi no ashi.

14.5 hours is what i worked today.  dammmn.


i almost can't even believe it myself (the fact that and the fact that i'm admitting it): i have corns. 
i mean, i know i act (and smell) like grandma, but fo reeeeal?!
well, j.bell busted me out about one the other week at her house. honestly, i didn't really know what it was; she informed me. 
and i think after the crazy amount i've been working and in the kind of shoes you can't wear socks with, (and panty hose doesn't help much...and today i went with none because it had holes when i got to work), it's no surprise to me both pinky toes are looking pretty bumped out. 

i got corny band-aids on them.  i gotta take care of mi little piggies.


and you know you've been working too much when it feels weird to be at home and not at work.
although surprisingly, i'm not complaining.
:)

sew smoothe.

[new] sewing machine...i freakin' loooove you.













since the old machine was out of order,  i brought it in to get looked at (potentially fixed), but it totally wasn't worth it.

so i bought a new one. 
:)

been there.

...done that.

it was real.  it was fun.  it was real fun.  (being a d.j. at ktuh)

but now it's become more of a responsibility (espeecially a responsibility i don't need) and i never even feel like talking on the air anymore...so i put in my two weeks.




yeah, it was good while it lasted, but i'm over it.

it's been a while.

...since i've had to deal with a stupid-fat-ugly-bitch customer, but today was the day and it's still bothering me, but i supposed it will pass.
bottom line though: i'm pretty sure she's just bitter at the world because she's a stupid, fat, ugly, bitch.
ohhhh so many things i would like to say to that douche bag, but cannot, especially because she's supposedly already going to talk to her "good friend", the g.m. 


now that i've vented, i hope that's the last of this matter.

Thursday, June 23, 2011

beach and bitches.

...we not really bitches, duh. 

but ahhh, it feel so good to hang with the girls again and lay in the sun.   brought some beers, too, but never really felt like drinking.


gonna check out art & flea tonight.  go peep my future fellow sellers-as it is my goal to eventually get a table there and sell some things: baby blankets and whatever else rambles off these hands.

and then the radio show feat. c.spain, hopefully.

g.sales.

....i love 'em.




















...so what if we filled the trunk after only the third stop.  ;)  couirt we're only allowed to go once a month (with my hoarding problem and all, haha  jk)...we doesn't mean i, by myself.  so i went the next week, too.  but didn't really score anything great the second time.

here comes the sun.

...have the beatles stuck in my head from earlier today. j.rak and i layin on the nose of the boat, enjoying the loveley day.


i later picked up c.spain out west and headed up north for the evening. went to ka ena point on the north side for the first time. marley's first time, too:


















we crazy:

it's that time of year again: white girl hang out. (which means my girl, c.spain, whom i know from okinawa, comes here with her family and we cruise and it's fun.)
no particular reason, but i don't really hang out with many white girls regularly. none that i can think of anyway.

ureshii.

there's a new boy at work. he says i'm the happiest person he's ever met. crazy, right?!
i told him you should have seen me a couple months ago, especially when i was serving...ahaha.

my boss asked me how it's going. i told him good. and i guess i was pretty enthusiastic because he replied with, "do you have a man in your life or something?" nope. hahaha. things are just good.

saw j. he said i was like radiant...

and tone, he said i'm "back to the old d again."

yay. :)

sewing machine:

i hate you so much right now.


i thread and re-thread. i changed the bobbin. i wd-40'd the mofo. i bought two different kinds of needles.

i did everything i can think of to get my sewing machine working, but it just keeps f'ing up and therefore i cannot finish like five blankets. :\

soooo close,yet, so far.


my favorite part of making a blanket is turning it right-side out. it's when you get the first real glimpse of what these different pieces of fabric look like together. it's even more exhilerating when i used recycled fabrics from different time, different places, especially like garage sales and thirft stores and such. definitely one of a kind.


i really just want to buy a new sewing machine. a nice expensive one that can embroided. could you imagine the possibilities?!?
someday...

i need to look into sewing machine repair shops or some shit. boo.

...i can see this happening. i'm supposed to hang with kam [hope neither of us flake] and we always get nuts with crafting ideas.


>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>


just as i thought. brainstorming/dreaming about crafts and businesses and shops.

we went stand-up paddle. i l-l-l-loooove it! besides being super windy and fighting the current half of the time, being out on the water is so nice!!

we gonna try go like once a week or so. espeically since i'm not really serving anymore, i need to do something to keep up the guns!

speaking of guns, for some reason like three people said something to me about looking super rip. meeean.

also at work, i have a new piece to my uniform: a bracelet.
our bar regular, alan, is an old guy with loads of money. ironically enough, he's pretty lonely and miserable and comes in just about daily.

during down time at work, me and my hachi-roku pal would made loads of paper cranes. [she can even make ones smaller than a dime!]
anyway, we would give alan origami whenever he came. *86-pal transferred to another dept. in the hotel, but i continue to crane make for alan.

a couple weeks ago he started telling me he got me somethig (no, not in a hitting-on-me kind of way; he's gay i think).

one day he brought me a box with a crystal bracelet. like, the kind that protects you or whatever. it's actually really nice, and brown! and has a shell on it. :) so unoffically, this is now a new piece of my uniform.

*86-pal is from work. we bonded on the fact that she and i both used to drive ae86. i always wanted a peptol bismol-pink colored one; she had a peptol pismol-pink colored one. she coooooo.

one foot in and one foot back.

...it don't pay to live like that.
so i cut the ties and jump the track, never to return.

busted for being ferdinand.

...it was a few weeks back and two of my "big" bosses both busted me at the same time for wearing the ferdinand nametag since i lost mine.  they said ferdinand is a boy's name.  i really thought it sounded unisex; they disagreed.  first time anyone said anything to me in the week or so i was wearing it, but i did get kind of weird looks sometimes.  one lady even called me "ferdi"-tiiiight. hahah.
i ended up being edlyn the rest of the day.
and it was back to diane the next.


i still like the name ferdinand (for a girl).

i should hit the sack.

...that's what he said?!


been up north a lot lately.  it's be real nice.
the neary full moon was b-e-a-u-t-i-f-u-l in the dark sky. 
me, music and the windy road.
[i don't usually take the windy road home because i prefer to take the "long" way; scenic route.]
i'm always a little bummed when i started approaching home because i just like driving.



the other day after work i went to longs.  i was in my blue smurf/nanny from the brady bunch dress [a.k.a. work dress] with a swearter and panty hose and the whole sha-bang bang and some radom dude was like: "excuse me, i  think you're absolutely beautiful." 
i said thank you, kind of laughing (which that is one thing i've learned to do as i've gotten older- just take a f'in compliment.  you know, versus being like "omg, no i'm not, blah blah blah...").
so anyway, sure, it was flattering, makes you feel nice, ya know?
but at the same time, it's like, a complete stranger thinks i'm beautiful [on the outside]-whooptyfuckin'do. but then there's people i'm really close to, specifically one person i was really close to, a person who knows me on the inside me, and i feel like they don't see the inside part of me as beautiful. 
i feel like i've been pretty ugly to people who know me well, especially this past year-and that's not who i want to be.

of course, that's not who i have to be if that's not to who i want be, duuuuuh.

spreading happiness is much easier when you're happy yourself, so it's a good thing my happiness level has been risising.

but i havce to start work in t-minus 5.5 hours [which will be 6:30 a.m.] so i should probably call it a night.


tomorrow, tomorrow, i'll love ya, tomorow, you're only a day......no, you're already here. 
goodnight.


Wednesday, June 15, 2011 Sagittarius -

You should be in a good mood, Sagittarius, although you might have a hard time fully expressing yourself. Perhaps you feel like there is someone keeping an eye on your every move. You may feel like a kid in class being watched by the teacher. Don't be intimidated by those with a self-righteous air. You have just as much right to speak your mind as anyone else.

yo mama's so fat.

...look at you, bitch!


i'm pretty sure this is the best yo mama joke i ever heard.  when d.k. was in town, him and j.bell overhead some kids blasting yo mama jokes at the skatepark. and according to them, after this one, that was the end of that. 

baby [blanket] making binger.

...that's exactly what i've been on.  but when i've mentioned it a couple of times, i forgot to insert the very imortant word "baby," in turn, confusing many-a-people.

so yes, a baby blankey making binger.

i'm beginning to wonder why i went to college if i'm perfectly content standing at a host stand and making crafts. 
not that i want to be doing that forever; but i definitely do not want to be working in a newsroom.

but things are finally mellowing out and i like it.  i can honestly say "i'm happy". which if i told you that a few months prior, i would have been lying. so i'm kind of just enjoying it day by day, letting things fall into play.

and i'm going to freakin' california next month for a wedding...cheeeeeeeeeeee!!  :)

because we had to.

...because i loved you.becaused the daaaaamned alcohol.
because whatever at all.

i'm a creep.

i'm a...













we are heading north.

...olive ave.

j.bell (the mama) calls me mom#2.

... :)

she also calls me a freak.
... :\


but i loooooove marley ann! [ i'm pretty sure everyone does. ]

hello kitty up the ying-yang.

...i NEVER liked hello kitty, ever!  and then it was the theme for marley's first birthday so i made a hello kitty blanket and hello kitty cookies and there was hello kitty everything and it was pretty kawaii. 







































[sideways balloon boquet...  :\ ]


i never did snap a picture of the original hello kitty baby blanket, but i did make another (slightly different) with the leftover fabric i had.
so i kind of like hello kitty, but for now: hello[goodbye]kitty

ooooooooooooh, okinawa...
