damn GIRL

Let me tell you a little story. This is a story of pure luck. This is a story of my luck in getting two pairs of brass knucks.

So I used to live in Lubbock Texas. A town with not much to do, therefore you make your own fun. On the east side of town there were these things that we liked to call the tunnels. Which were really drian systems under the city that were big enough for you to walk in. One day I got a crew of friends together to walk these tunnels for fun. Its about an hour and a half walk to the end and then back, so a good three hour day. It is pitch dark in these tunnels and you have to carry flash lights unless you are really fucking brave then you can be all dumb and macho and walk with out light. But whatever, who the fuck would do that? As we are walking through this place, i shine a light and i glimpse my first pair of knucks. (the rusty looking ones up top) I could not believe my eyes! I had never been more happy in my life. I picked them up and pocketed them. The big joke with those was that they were a weapon that someone used and had to stash so the cops couldnt catch them Hopefully thats the true story. They are pretty kick ass and I was content with just one pair but my luck struck again the other night. I was out on sixth street getting nice and toasty when some dumb dude bro makes the decision to start a fight with a guy that could totally kick his ass. In the midset of it all i hear something hit the ground and look over. Low and behold it is another pair of brass knucks! I pick that shit up and put it in my back pocket and never said anything about it again. Now I get to rock two pairs and feel pretty tough. (Even though I would never do anthing with them)

Alright. Well that is that. Dot is sleeping right now if you were wondering and she looks really cute. My phone broke last night so now I am waiting on my new one to get in the mail. I am sorry it took so long to blog, its not like anyone really reads this thing to begin with. Whatev. Take it easy. Lovelove

i am scum

fuck you. yes you, you stupid bitch who stole from our store and then returned it all "without your receipt". Yes I am telling you to FUCK OFF! You are a liar and there was no need for you to throw your license at me. AND FUCK OFF ALL OF YOU LAME ASS PEOPLE WHO THINK I OWE YOU SOMETHING!

on a lighter note, my cat is lovely, i am going drinking, i am smoking cigs, and my boyfriend is the best friend in the world right now.

also much thanks to my roommate who listens to every stupid thing i say.

lovelove

treat your animals well

p.s. i got my boots :]

fabulous meredith

HAHAHAHA! I am lame.

Dont you just love her!

I couldnt help but like this

Welcome to my drums!

What a day! Let me see. I woke up to late, but I got to read and that was nice. I dropped my roommate off at work but forgot to drop off the clothes I am givng away. So that is still on my damn list! Two weeks and it is still on my list. So instead of staying lazy which I normally do, I went to get my nails done for the first time in about a year.

They look awesome! They are red! They make me feel like a hard ass for some reason. I already messed up the paint on like five of my nails but i just dont care. Well thats a lie, I kind of cared at first but I pretty much got over that in a heart beat.

I also went to target and went a little crazy. I love love halloween and I bought some stuff to start getting ready for it today. I got candy and a bowl and these creepy head things that you hang on the doors, and some other cool shit.

I also bought a pretty cool shirt because I felt like it. Whatever.

This is probably the most boring thing I have ever written but I was so excited about all of this shit.

My lovely cat is making me happy today. She is being so sweet even though I woke her up at like 3 am just to pet her and tell her how muc i love here. OH so much I do!

OH OH OH!!!! Jacob did get me some drums and they are so awesome! I am going to start practicing soon. I am pretty pumped about that...

that is enough for now. see you later

this is it so far

I love watching my cat sleep. Dot the cat, you are the best cat a girl could have. You sleep on the window seal and it makes joy spread through me. I bet you feel so far off the ground when really it is only about two weeks. You cute cat you. I love you!

Jacob and i got the best beer mugs ever. I love these things. I like to think we look pretty tough. (yeah right) These bad boys hold two beers and you feel like you are a hard ass walking around with a big boy smile spread across your face. Whatever. Its just fun doing cheesy things. I like us. In fact, I love us. Well really I love him. Damn. We can be cute.

Big floppy hat= fun at the river. Okay, so I am not at the river yet in the picture, but I did go, and it was a lot of fun. We had a blast. Plus it is kind of weird seeing me without my glasses on. Contacts are hard for me to wear but sometimes its a must.

My birthday is coming up. October 5th. I am going to get a new tattoo. Well I hope I am getting a new tattoo. That is the plan as of now. More on that later.

Alright, I am done. More later on this thing I call life.

GRRR!!!!

I HATE MOVING IN THIS HEAT

FUCK!!!!

other than that, i got to see my family over the weekend and we had so much fun together. We hung out and floated the river, got in a few fights and yelled a lot. I am just loud in general and then my family has to deal with me. But it was good fun. Maybe pictures up soon if I can get all of these bags packed and moved to our new awesome place. I am out of this town after this move! love love to be gone. Thats for sure.

Stay awesome. Drink beers. Yell loud. Cuss in public. Flip that guy off who cut you off. Oh and be safe.

fuck off!

sundays suck

What a day this has been. My work is driving me crazy. I can honestly say I have one of the worst, easy jobs that you can get out of a place. If watching people eat samples like meals gets on your nerves then you have a tiny glimpse into my world for the past few weeks. It is making me want to sreem. Luckily I work with some really awesome people who have my back and are trying to help me out as much as they can. I will thank them all come tomorrow and this whole situation is fixed up. I got to see a guy drop his sample on the floor today and it was probably the funniest thing ever. (i am normally not that rude of a person but this guy was totally asking for it)

My lunch was really good though. I am totally in a sandwich craze right now. Everyday I have tofurkey and veganaise sancdwiches and it still hasnt got old. It is probably the high light of my day. I just sit and zone out and eat for like 12 minutes straight. I love it!

Today when I got home, Dot was waiting for me and she was being the sweetest thing ever. She even let me take some really neat pictures of us. Which i thank her for! Its kind of nice having a cat as a best friend. She loves me no matter what. I was so happy to see her that I even gave her wet food as a nice treat.

Books are still my life. I am thinking of ending this soon just so I can go read some more. One day I will have a library and be the happiest old lady in the whole wide world.

Well I better go for now. Dont forget to take it easy when you can and venting is sometimes ok. I know this might be boring for you all but i must say that I feel loads better.

new old shoes and new old glasses

I went home and visited my family not to long ago. While I was digging around in my closet, looking for old pictures of myself, I stumbled across my most favorite shoes from high school. (i have mentioned them before i do believe) So I packed them up and brought them back to Austin with me. They are some pretty rockin super skate high vans that I got when I was oh so cool. Now I am wearing them tonight for the first time in god knows how long. I must say I am pretty excited about the whole thing. I think they will go nice with a pair of cut offs and the tank top I pulled out of my suit case. Thats right, I still havent unpacked my bag. No point really. It will all get dirty again in a few days time.

On a sadder note. I broke my most favorite glasses in the whole wide world today. The screw just fell out. I dont know where it went or why it picked today to leave me. Luckily it was only a screw and I can replace it soon. I am now stuck with wearing my blue glasses every where. Now dont get me wrong, I love these too. Just not as much as my other ones. They just dont have the same feel or character about them. Oh well, Oh well, I will get over it soon.

Work was a joke today. I am glad to be off. I need to make my bed and make dinner. Vegan brats are on the menu if I am correct. Yum Yum!

lovelove

summer fruit

I must say that I love love love summer fruit. I hate summer weather, but I love summer fruit. If only I could have winter weather and summer fruit all the time. I mean fresh summer fruit. YUM!!!!!

Jacob and I sometimes love eachother. Today is one of those days. We will probably get mad at eachother in about five minutes but thats cool.

I have to work this stupid fucking machine at work called Kim's Magic Pop. FUCK that shit and do not buy it. Ok, Ok, you can buy it if you want. But just dont tell me about it. Hopefully soon I wont have to do it anymore. The little kids watching me all day is starting to really get under my skin.

I ate Freebirds for dinner and had a lovely time. I ate so much that I almost had to unbutton my pants. Luckily I did not.

Dot was really loud last night. I could not do anything about it though. She is being oh so sweet right now though. I love you Dot cat the kitty.

See ya!

these boots are made for walking

My birthday is coming up in October. I will be the big Two Two. I must admit I am a bit nervous about growing older. I mean twenty-two is still very young but it is not as young as I would like to be most of the time. Oh well, we can only push forward. And forward I will go...

Now for my birthday santa is supposed to bring me these rockin boots. They are all vegan and awesome! I am preparing myself to wear them everywhere I go. I just hope I actually get them. I have some really great stuff that they would look good with and I would probably feels super cool with them on.

We shall see...

this is how i am spending today

Hopefully it makes for a good one. I have already read Harry Potter but sometimes I like to feel like a kid again. The Sound and the Fury is taking a bit more time than I wanted it to, but maybe it will all work out in the end. I just wish I could commit to it a little more. As for The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle, well I have only read two chapters and I dont ever want to put the book down. So I am going to go ahead and call today a good day.

Dot is sleeping on the bed as of now. She likes to get her belly scratched and then she stretches her paws as far as they will go. Oh dear, the love of animals. I am sure you understand.

I bought a Crass record about a week ago. Sadly my record player is without speakers for the moment. I dont know why I havent gone to the thrift store and just bought some, it would be very easy to do. But I find myself not liking to do things like that.

Well today everyone should take some time and enjoy a favorite object in the house. I might spend my time looking at my dunce hat paintings our my book shelf. It is just fun for me really.

Bye now.

time is flying, i am having fun

Dear everyone, life has been moving fast and it has been way too long. Sorry about that. Though, not too many people read this thing anyway. So we went to bonnaroo, correction, we drove the 15 hours in one night and were so tired that we were freaking out to bonnaroo! We pull up to bonnaroo just to wait 4 more hours for the line to die down. All in all it was good. I got to see Ani DiFranco, the closes thing I have to a hero, and she made me cry. I guess that is the joy of getting to hear your favorite song in the encore. We also enjoyed Public Enemy (probably the best show ever) and The Mars Volta. We ate loads of vegan food and on the way up there we got to stop at out favorite all vegan resteraunt, Spiral Diner (in ft.worth). If you ever get the chance you should check that place out.
Here is a picture of the cutest lunch I have ever had. I couldn't help but want to post it. Damn it is cute. Alright Alright, enough of that.

Dot is turning into a big kitty now. She is a little over a year old and acting as if she owns the apt. I am not going to lie, I kind of love it. The only part that is not so fun is when she keeps me all night doing the dishes and chin-ups on the blinds. Well we are working on those two.

I got to spend some time in Corpus Cristi and see my brother graduate from college. It was lovely. Before we left I got to see some lovely cranes. This one was my favorite. Hopefully you can see why. One day I will be a bird.

Life is crazy but keeps you busy. Look into the art of Tarot. It keeps the mind thinking. Love your animals and stop eating them. Try to laugh everyday. Sadly i believe I will be checking out one more time. But i will leave you with this...

My life as a tree has never been better

Oh love, how i enjoy the weather

The time is moving

Let me tell you! My computer broke. It was getting old anyways but its still a bit frustrating. I am not that mad for some reason though. I am taking the matter a lot better than I thought that I would.

I saw the moving Fighting the other day. I dont really know why we chose that one over all the other shit that is out right now but needless to say I had a good time and a good laugh all in the same. You should really go check it out. It just might change your life. I mean now the only thing I want to do is get in a fight. With anyone for that matter. Know anyone who wants rumble? Let me know.

I have been considering doing roller derby for some time now. So hopefully in the near future that will be on my list of accomplished goals. Who knows, I heard you have to be pretty tough and I only act tough. But I guess derby would help with my want to fight so much.

I took it apon myself to start reading the harry potter books again. I guess this would make like the 10th time I have done this. Sometimes you just want to feel like a kid again. Plus the books are really good.

My roommate and I listened to Bone Thugs yesterday. It was nice. I got crossroads stuck in my head and it is still there today. Which means that it is going to be a good day for sure.

I just found probably the best picture ever. If you cant do this with the one you love, find someone new. (picture clearly posted above)

Well that is going to have to do it for today. Tell all your pets I said hello and Dot the cat says HI back. She is still awesome.

Duh Dude.

Record Store Day!

Record Store Day is the best day to wake up on. I must say I was a bit overwhelmed by the number of people out and about. I get kind of nervous when there area a lot of people in a closed in area and I dont really know them. So I rushed my way around so that I could breathe easy.

Now for you, you should totally take your time and look around and really get a feel for what you want. (that is, if you dont have the same problems i do) Enjoy the records, cd's, and free stuff. Make a day of it. Just make sure you get out there and make this holiday worth while!

It rained like crazy last night and I had to wake up pretty early today.(totally worth it though) Work is going to be long because no one wants to work on a saturday. I would much rather be eating casa de luz with my boyfriend and his mom but no, i get stuck at a cash drawer for eight hours. But I gotta make that paper.

Everyone needs to take some time and do some crafts.

Oh and watch this movie:

Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels

(It was really good and really funny)

Enjoy record store day and dont forget to play with your lovely furry friends if you have any! They enjoy it more than we know.

My "backyard"

I love those rainy days when we get them. The view off my balcony is everything that i want it to be. I can say that I feel pretty happy about that. I am off today and I plan to do some knitting and nothing. One day I will be cool and have huge craft parties where everyone just sits around and talks about nothing. Until then, I will fly solo.

Yesterday i bought a type writer that I really didnt want so I sold it to my roommate. She was much more happy about it than I was. Yes it was old and beautiful and perfect and all of those things. But once I really thought about it, i knew that I would never put it to use. Sadly.

I got my bonnaroo ticket. YAY! Now I just have to figure out how much money my boy and I are going to drop on the whole trip (a lot for sure). However, it will be so worth it.

Nothing much going on.

Tiny objects are my new obsession.

I want a creepy old doll house to fill with those creepy little items.

Maybe when I have space.

My oh My.

I got to play with my little lady the other day. We have fun together. Dot the cat is probably the coolest animal ever. She climbs the blinds, wakes you up at 6 am and goes crazy for the lazor pointer. (just about everything you need in a cat)

I bought a new pair of knitting needles today. They are divine. i am going to knit up a storm. They are green. The best green there is. I also got these little birds to use in my needle point work. I hope they can do what i want. If they work, i will show plenty of pictures. I also got my dunce hat paintings framed and hung up. They look better than ever.

I almost karate choped every person that came through my line at work today. It was be super cheesy and lame day and no one sent me the memo. I swear I could have put the ole elbow to some good use today.

I am working on an andy warhol puzzle (thanks jake!) that is slowly beginning to take over my life. I am looking and thinking about it right now. How I want to be over there digging through the pieces just to get one in the right spot.

I own 5 pairs of vans shoes and they are all different. I dont know how that happened but over the years they just added up. I must say i put 4 pairs to good use and the other pair would be put to good use except for the fact that i left them at home the last time I was there.

Lubbock Texas is what I would call "home". Not the best place in the world (especially for vegans) but its where family is. There are a few good things about that place like:

the grid it is set up on

the way no one is on the road after 11 pm

bijou (hair salon)

and some alright places to eat

Sleep is for the dead but I must get some.

Love up with your animals tonight.

work eat sleep repeat.

Do you remember that song that goes like "if you want to call me baby just go ahead now and if you like to tell me maybe just go ahead now and" on and on and on. Well its a little known fact that I love that song. I love that song so much that in the third grade, one of my good friends and myself made up our own version to that song. Now this girl is still one of my very best friends and the song,i do believe, is what has made it last for so long. Now our version went along the lines of "if you want to go to garner just go ahead now and if you want to ride the frio just go ahead now and" on and on and on. We were at garner state park that year. Very lovely place. We made up songs to tlc, billy ray and a few more. But the "if you" was/is my favorite.

I am getting move fever again. It seems I can never stay in one place over a year. I get all antsy and annoyed. I enjoy moving. But who knows. This town is too hot.

The new gameboy rocks. The new key chains are the shit. My new paintings are posted above. (with a couple of my favorite buttons) I like the the pictures with the two dunces facing away from eachother better. That is just me though.

My tarot cards are feeling lonely here lately. I need to give them some attention. I also need to find a good palm reader.

Lady sing the blues.

Lovelove.

So as i said not that long ago, my yellow gameboy broke. Good news, I found a new one. It is pink and almost perfect. So I am happy again. And I guess it really wasnt your fault. I also found these really swell key chains. They are pictured above. My boyfriend bought me these pretty cool paintings. (pictures of them soon). They are going on the wall soon.

I might be going to bonnarroo this summer. I really hope this happens. I am buying my ticket next week, so really the only thing that can stand in the way is if they are sold out by then. Wish me luck on that one.

Whateves... Duh

old pictures

I really just like the way both of these looked so i wanted to share them. Nothing that exciting. My gameboy color is broke. Sadly I think I stepped on it even thought I want to blame it on everyone else. So we will just say that it was everyone else. Thanks a lot for everyone else for breaking my gameboy. Now i will have have to replace it. And that is something that i never wanted to do because it was the perfect yellow. And yes i know there are other yellow gameboys out there but this one was mine! ha!

Oh the Fool

Alright people. Be ready. Today is the day that it just might happen. That you, yes you, will get the ultimate prank. Now be careful where you step or who you talk to. Watch out for those silly co-workers or that shy guy who has been eyeing you. And to you Mr/Mrs Pranker, please do a good job today. Please make this an April Fools day worth it. Show me those true colors and really get out there and shine.

I have gobs of laundry to do and I am not off until tomorrow. So today is going to be a smell it (smells fine), wear it (is that a stain), and hope that no one notices day. Which has been going on for a while because somewhere in my brain it never dawned on me that clean close are important. I should have been born a guy because they get away with this kind of stuff a lot smoother than I do.

I like it simple

I watched Jumanji today. It is still a really good movie.

Sonic happy hour is probably the best thing that will happen to me today. (i need to take advantage of this more often)

Went to see Knowing the other night. I am still trying to figure out how i felt about that one.

Sour Patch Kids are better than the icing on the cake.

Sleeping in the living room has taught me a lot about myself.

My backpack holds a lot of cool stuff:

-wallet

-two books

-note book

-daily planner

-water bottle

-lunch

-work clothes

-gum

-pictures of you

-and such

I enjoy being a libra...

"It might feel as if others are barking orders at you today, but you aren't interested in blindly following them. You don't want to react before you completely understand what's happening. Although it appears as if everything is out in the open, you just know that there's more going on than meets the eye. Don't let anyone browbeat you into agreement unless you reach the same conclusion on your own."

duh dudes. work in an hour. time to read.

who said it was a good idea to work all day?

Paper or Plastic?

Would you like that doubled bagged?

How would you like your change?

Are you having a good day?

Dont you just love the weather?

Is that good?

Have you tried it this way?

I should start a tally of how many times i say the same thing at work in one day. It is like people get a book of things to say to the grocery store cashier. I dont even think I could tell you how many times i hear "oh dear, i forgot my green bags in my car, blah blah blah." My response is always the same, "oh its ok everyone does it, just try to remember next time." Then i put on this big cheesy smile for the person two rows over to see.

The worst part is when people try to tell me how to cook meat. Then I get to make it really awkward by telling them i dont even eat meat. Then i get to hear how much i am missing out on.

However, when it is said and done, I love working at the grocery store. There are a few really cool people that you get to meet and they make all the difference. That is for sure.

So the next time you go to the grocery store, be a little nicer, tell a funny story, just dont say those damn lines that you have been rehearsing on the way to the check out line. Trust me, it gets really old. Really fast.

Now go and play with your cute animals if you have any!

the face you kiss makes all the difference

I think that people tend to over look the importance of kissing. It has turned into something that you can do with anyone. I feel that the face you kiss should always be the best. It should be the one you conect with the most. Kurt Halsey draws it better than anyone (well that i know of thus far.) The simple art makes it so easy to understand. I long for people to want the perfect kiss. It should always be exciting and cute.

1. kiss (him/her) whenever you can

2. let them know you care

3. look up kurt halsey

Now i used to have these two cute little fancy rats named Clementine (white/tan) and Franchise (Black/white). They were the best two rats in the world. On top of being best friends they were my buddies. I would let them out to run around and feed them banana chips. (They looked so cute using their little hands, turning the banana chips like a car wheel.) I think about these two often. Its funny how you get so attached to something so small.

I know in there new life Clementine and Franchise came back as best friends. My only hope is that they come visit me. Somehow, anyhow, come visit me.

I woke up to the rain today. It was lovely. I live for the rain. One day I will live where it rains all the time. Playplayplayplayplayintherainrainrainrainrain.

Duh :)

A few things i am obsessed with

Everyone has those things that tend to take up way too much of there time. I, myself am included. I will find myself day dreaming at work about the little things in life that just make it go round for me. I often talk to myself about these small perks because no one else would understand this minor obsession. Its funny how it works, but i love it none the less.

I have a tendency to buy way too much office supplies, not because i need it but because i really really want it. I can buy post it notes, note book paper, exspensive pens and then just look at them for a few days before they ever get used. (i have refrained from this lately due to the fact that i dont want to freak my roommate out that much.) Now once the supplies are bought, I use them in a certain way. I refuse to tear pages out of my notebooks and I use them from beginning to end. There is none of this skipping pages for me. Also, certain pens go with certain things and i keep mental note of this at all times.

My dream one day is to be a librarian and run a library. My love for books started when i was young and i had trouble reading. It made me so mad that i wanted to prove that i could do it, that i could read, now i cannot stop for the life of me. At any point in time (when i am not at work) I will have at least two books on me. My book shelf even has a certain order to it. I like to put things in my way and i always can tell if someone has been looking through my books. It might sound silly but silly is a good thing.

Being vegan has taught me a lot about the way the world is run and it has also become something that i am very obsessed with. I love animals more than most things and in my dream world everyone would be vegan. Everyone would want to care for the world and animals just the same. Plus there is so much great vegan food and it is so easy to be vegan this day in age that no one really has an excuse.

Well i must go play with Dot the cat now. She is running around like mad, being her cute self. Everyone should read Tom Robbins.

i welcome myself to the real world

I was a bit nervous today when i decided to get a blog but then i said to myself "what the hell, you can always delete it." i am not that good at writing i am not that good at speaking but i see a lot of neat things and i want to tell people about it, but i find that a lot of people i talk to are very boring. So maybe this will be the change that i need.

I now sit here, with my cat at my feet, feeling somewhat silly.

I am a proud vegan and i rocked a vegan hot dog at lunch today. When i came home from eating that veg dog, i was flustered to find that my cat was no where in sight. Be that she is an inside cat i was quite worried that she got out somehow and i would never see my furry friend again. I searched all around (kicking my soda over in the process, using the jump on a towel method to clean it up) trying to find that adorable kitty. When i had lost all hope and was about to start crying my little girl eyes out, i heard the meow of my best friend. She had managed to get on top of the highest shelf in my house. I was so happy that i jumped up and down. Dot the cat only looked at me funny and continued to nap on her tummy.
