So, yeah, it's been forever, but it's not like anyone reads this....
Anyway, I wanted this for my own memories...
Download 2007, San Francisco is starting to come together!
Some background....Download Festival is on October 6 in San Fran, and it's 8 bands (or more, but 8 major ones). However, there are only 2 that I care about....AFI and The Cure. Anyone who knows ANYTHING about AFI knows what an amazing opportunity it is to get to see them perform on the SAME BILL as The Cure! ANYTHING can happen! Need I say more? Besides, Leabers is leaving the month after to go back to Arizona (I can't believe it's so close now....it's good that Josh will be home, but sucks that she won't be here anymore), so this is the LAST time Leah and I will get to take any trips together for a LONG time.
Anyway, so we decided we'd drive down with Amy (from Portland). Once in San Fran we are picking up Amy's friend from the airport. We'll leave 2 days before the show to spend one day exploring San Fran., and leave the day after the show. (12 hours drive, should be interesting).
We bought tix during the pre-sale and ended up with tix in the 200 section...Leah decided that wasn't good enough, lol, so she found an auction on Livenation's site and bid on premium seats. There were 18 available, and Leah's bid for 2 tickets came in second. SO, we got our tickets, and found out we are in section 102, row AA, seats 11 & 12. I looked on the Livenation website at the seating chart...it looks like our seats are actually ON THE FUCKING FLOOR!!! So, no pit for this show....just us. Fucking rock. Oh, and did I mention we are in the FRONT row? Yeah. So that will be the best concert EVER. I booked our hotel rooms yesterday, one at 35 bucks a night, and one at 49 bucks a night, at the Quality Inn in Sunnyvale, which is like 4 miles away from Shoreline Amphitheater. I fucking love working at a hotel and being able to get FAT discounts on rooms. Next step is the rental car, Leah and I will go up to Enterprise maybe tomorrow and see what they will have available so we can get a comfortable size.
Fuck....I'm getting so damn excited!!!!!

Finished watching all 14 eps of Firefly and Serenity. OMG....what a wonderful show! I can't believe that anyone would be so stupid as to cancel it! What ginormous asses!
Oh...and Nathan Fillion is way hot. He has that rugged manly handsomness going on...like the type of guy that would drink a beer and then go fix your sink. I find that incredibly sexy...Or do the yardwork and then relax with a beer afterwards. Yeah. Nice. Every once in a while a girl likes to be taken care of like that, ya know?
well, I gotta get ready for work...the shitty shift today, bah!

watching people eat chips. I just realized that as I'm stanging here at work watching the people go on break from the class that's being held in one of our conference rooms, and this woman walks into the lobby shoving entire chips in her face, stopping short of her fingers (but licking them in the process). Ew. It was gross. I shall be more cognizant of how I eat when I'm in a public place so that I don't gross anyone out. I actually hate seeing people eat period. Strangers, that is. Seeing friends and family eat doesn't bother me, but watching a complete stranger eating is nasty to me.
Anyway, just thought I'd share. I could just be crabby today because I've had 2 sucky customers today and it's only 10:30 am. And I'm tired. I don't want to walk today. I want to go home and clean my house.
Ok...back to work. And reading the customers_suck community here. It's my favorite one.

More meeting room suck...these are fun.
We have a church in our facility every sunday. Joy..I get to work on Sundays and deal with these people. Most of them are nice, but the guy that signs the contracts HATES everyone except our FD manager. He is rude and unpleasant for NO reason to everyone else, especially women. I have no idea why. Anyway, this church group takes both meeting rooms...one for the service and one for the bratcare. The service gets free coffee service because they have been having their services for 3 years and are generally good customers (and most of them don't bitch if they run out of coffee during church...and after church I am not obligated to refill the urns for them...so I don't.) There is a prep kitchen between the two meeting rooms, accessed by a door in each meeting room. For the church ONLY, we leave the doors open so the parents can have access to their children without walking through the hall. Here is what happened a few weeks ago.
Me: Front Desk Diva!
EWM: Evil woman-hater
Me: *minding my own business at the desk, enjoying the slow day, watching tv and surfing the net*
EWM: *scowl scowl evil glare at me* "If ANYTHING happens to my kids in there, there WILL be problems"
Me: O.o??WTF???? "Excuse me?"
EWM: "You heard me...If those kids fall down and hurt themselves in that kitchen, I WILL NOT be happy and there WILL Be problems!!" *glare*
ME: "I'm sorry, I have been out here the whole time, I am not aware of a problem" *I hate you, you evil old man I hope you die*
EWM: YOUR housekeepers mopped that floor in that kitchen, and it smells like CRAP, and if MY kids fall down going back and forth, then there WILL be some problems here."
ME: *DIE DIE DIE* I'm sorry, they are not MY housekeepers, I ONLY work front desk, but I can shut the door to the kitchens if that will help. I do apologize that they mopped, however, I am not the one who appointed the task---*at this point he cut me off*
EWM: I ALREADY did that. My point is, they could have waited 10 minutes to mop until after we were done with our service. That was just rude."
ME: Again, I apologize, but I am not the one who told them to mop. I can go get the HK manager for you if you'd like *before I stab you in the ear with my pencil*" *smiling sweetly but wanting to kill*
EWM: Nevermind. I'll talk to (FDM) when he is in next. *using the tone of "HE can get things done for me..you and the HK are just pathetic WOMEN who are stupid and caused us all to have sin forever*.
At that point he walked away. My manager got an earful when he relieved me at 3 that afternoon, from both me AND the HK manager because he later found her and yelled at her too. I flat out refuse to deal with that man ever. Now, I don't work on Sunday mornings by myself. I have done NOTHING to deserve his treatment. I am actually quite good at customer service, and I have NEVER had a complaint about my service.

Totally new subject now! I meant to post this earlier, but I keep forgetting to. I finally got Johnny the Homicidal Maniac! I had Gabi at Oly Cards and Comics special order it for me, and she was lke "ok, but don't hold your breath for it to come in!"...but she ordered it anyway, and they had ONE copy! So it came in last weekend and I went and picked it up and I squeed! (that's the next one she's ordering for me...the spin-off, Squee.) It's the big compilation(The Director's Cut), and it's been out of print for over a year, so I am pretty lucky.
OK...now there's some asshole (I believe he's a racist) talking about Al Sharpton and skinheads.....during breakfast. yeah, way to make people uncomfortable while they are supposed to be enjoying their time here. I wish I could say something.
Anyway, so Nny is finally part of my collection now, and I'm working on Lenore. I have the first 2 compilations (Wedgies and Noogies, I believe they are called). One more of that and then I will work on Emily the Strange. I have one of those books so far.

Ok, so this is a bit of a rant. I'm here at work, standing at the desk, watching the spectacle that is "FREE BREAKFAST". This is something that I've noticed since being here, but never commented on publicly before. What is it about FREE that makes people act so incredibly....what's the word...frenzied. I think that's the word I am looking for. It's not like it's anything good...processed sugar items (donuts and food-service muffins), cheap cereal, powdered waffle mix with tap water added. Hard boiled eggs - now - those are actually the only things that are even remotely healthy for you, and they come in a bag with this solution added to keep them fresh(which happens to smell like ASS)! Sounds wonderful, doesn't it? And yet you'd think that we were serving 4 star gourmet here the way people suck it up. It's quite hilarious. I just wish that people would learn to practice proper hygiene and food safety when around "serve yourself" food items. And parents....KEEP YOUR GODDAMN FILTHY DEMON SPAWN AWAY FROM THE FUCKING FOOD FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS GOOD AND HOLY IN THIS WORLD!!! If your kid is hungry, YOU get up off your FAT, lazy, processed sugar consuming ass and feed it yourself! THAT is your job...YOUR punishment for breeding in the first place (yes, in case you were wondering, I DO have 2 children, however, MY children were raised to respect others, and they absolutely DO NOT throw fits in public, nor are they loud, obnoxious or otherwise disruptive of other people's enjoyment - in public. I do understand that most people hate kids - and I don't want to subject my kids on others. It's called DISCIPLINE - something that is SORELY lacking these days...but that is another subject for another time). NONE of our other guests want to take YOUR demon spawn's filthy crud illnesses home as a souvenier from our hotel, thanks. I also don't want to look up to check the quantity of our breakfast items to see your fat face staring at me, chewing your food like a COW with your MOUTH OPEN!!! My god...did your parental units teach you people ANYTHING?!?!?!?!?
You'd think that I hate my job, but I actually don't. I enjoy it quite a bit, actually. For the most part, the people are friendly and respectful of our facility. It's just the few that have no manners - like the person who is currently discussing private family details (gossip), in the breakfast room for everyone else to hear. How nice. Because I totally want to hear ALL about your private life. Keep that shit in your fucking room (or better yet, your own fucking house). Thanks. And this is the SAME person who, not 10 minutes before, thought it was OK to COUGH all over the waffle maker and uncooked waffle batter. I'll have to remember that when I decide that I actually want to eat breakfast today. Nope...I don't. Not hungry now. Anyway, I just hate being here during breakfast. After breakfast, the job is a cakewalk, and a lot of fun. But during breakfast, I seriously want to stab myself in the ear with a bic ballpoint pen.
Ok....I guess I should venture out there and bring these piggies some more slop.

So, February will be an exciting month for ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) leabers and I! We are going to see AFI in Springfield, MO!!!! Yes, it sounds crazy, but we really really wanted to go and so we figured, why the hell not? You only live once. There was no reason we picked Springfield over other cities, just that the plane tickets were cheap and so were the concert tickets. The concert is on February 14th (yes, I know, V-Day but Jason and I don't even celebrate...it's a Hallmark bullshit holiday anyway.), so we are leaving Feb. 12th, and coming back on Feb. 15th. We are flying into Tulsa and driving over to Springfield which is 2 hours away or so. It's about 177 miles. So, yeah...I can't wait!!!!!!!!

AFI in my head as usual. |
] |
so....it's been a while since I've posted on here....or anywhere, for that matter! Nobody reads these so I guess it doesn't really matter, though.
Anyway, I smoked the last cigarette out of my pack last night, and I haven't bought any. That's not to say I don't want one, but the way I see it, if I don't have any I can't smoke any. I'm NOT saying that I'm never going to smoke again. That would totally be setting myself up for disaster. But I AM saying that I'm going to stop being so dependent on having them. It is a disease, an addiction, and I need to treat it as such, and not think that I HAVE to have them. Because I don't. I want to see my grandkids, I want to grow old with Jason, and I want to be able to live long enough to see AFI until they are all in nursing homes and not performing anymore. LOL.
So, I'm furiously chewing gum right now, and I am going to go mop the floors. I must keep myself as busy as possible so as not to think about smoking. At the same time I'm trying to not smoke(I'm NOT quitting....just not buying cigarettes), I am trying to lose weight....my ultimate goal is about 60-70 pounds. Eating healthy is easy for me, it's just a matter of not being lazy and also not eating bad stuff. Because as easy as eating healthy is for me, so is eating junk food. I love junk food. But I'm renouncing the crap, and cutting red meat out of my diet, as well as pork. I did buy some triscuits and I have low-fat cream cheese to spread on them, that is pretty yummy. Plus I have cashews.....why the fuck are they showing a Halloween themed america's funniest home videos? Huh, anyway, eating healhty is SO easy and tasty these days that there's no valid reason not to. The biggest thing I can do is never touch McDonald's again.
Well, the floor's not going to mop itself, and I've been sitting here for an hour. Having a laptop really sucks your life away.
Tulsa.....Feb 15th. Yes, I'm talking about Oklahoma. Intrigued? More later on that.

Well, the new job is going great...I love it there! The people are really nice, and it's a very mellow place to be....nobody stresses out over stupid crap! It's such a welcome change. I think I'm going to really like it there. The job itself is pretty easy....checking in and out guests, dealing with the breakfast area, etc.... I work 3 full days and 2 half days a week.
Leah and I joined Despair Faction, so the nerdy obsession is official! We got our membersip packages the other day, complete with T-shirts, posters, wristbands, stickers, patches and buttons..and a membership card which they use for meet and greets, and that sort of thing. It's pretty cool. I also ordered a limited edition 7" vinyl boxset of Decemberunderground. I haven't gotten that yet, so I'm eagerly awaiting that to arrive! Squee!!!!
Anyway, hunger is setting in, so perhaps I should look for something to eat.

I'm so tired. I'm at work...tomorrow is my last day, because I finally found a new job. It's at a hotel in Tumwater about 10 minutes from my house, so that's good. NO more half hour/45 minute drives through traffic, and NO MORE travels to Shelton! I fucking hate this shithole town. I start my new job on Wednesday. I'm nervous, because I hate starting new jobs, but I'm sure I'll be just fine after I've been there a couple days and get used to things.
Fuck I'm tired.
I'm gonna go sit and pretend to be awake until the housekeepers get here.

Not much happening since my last post...I've been on a major kick to get as much AFI stuff as possible.....same with Leabers. She is as obsessed as me! So, recently we each got an AFI hoodie, I purchased the 7" Miss Murder/Rabbits Are Roadkill on Rt 37 Limited Edition Picture Disc, and I bought all the rest of their cd's that I didn't have before. So now I have all the AFI cd's, and I can focus on tracking down the vinyls and hard to find EP's (like Black Sails EP and Days of the Phoenix EP, both of which I've seen on Ebay for about 250 each. Yes, dollars.) Plus more t-shirts and crap. I feel like such a fangirl, but ya know what? I don't care.
I finally have a new cell phone. I got a pink razr...I love it so much! Here's a pic of it: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v53/dragonsgrrl/mot_razr_pink.jpg. It's not the greatest pic because it's a pic I found online, but I didn't really want to take a pic of MY phone...that's even too nerdy for me. And actually my phone looks way darker pink. Not quite that pepto-ish. Anyway, my number is available if you want it, just ask me in a message, I do not want to post it here...since it's not friends only you can never tell WHO's reading it, ya know? Yeah, my phone rocks.
Jason and I went and saw Jet Li's Fearless last week, that was very cool...way better than I thought, though not as good as Unleashed. But still worth it. Then Leah and I went out later that night and walked around Downtown, got bored, and decided to go see a movie...the only thing that was playing at that time that hadn't already started was Little Miss Sunshine, so we saw that...that was really good too. Friday Leabers and I asked Nate to babysit and we went to ArtsWalk...it's mainly an excuse to people watch in downtown Oly....which is fun anway. Have I mentioned how much I love Oly? It's really the best city in the world....if you're a freak like me. One of these days I'll post a new picture of myself. I had Leabers cut my bangs...I've been told I look like Bettie Page...works for me! My hair is still black....thinking about dying some of it fuschia or red. Not sure yet though. We'll see. Jason is still getting used to the bangs, but as much as he loves me, I really don't think he cares either way.
I guess I should update on Jason as well...He is working now at Red Lion Hotel in the Bistro. It's a union job so he gets a buttload of money, great benefits, regular raises, etc... It's a fantastic place to work. Thank god he found that. Plus he gets discounts in ANY Red Lion Hotel....anywwhere from 35-40 bucks a night or some crap no matter where it is. I'm thinking Hawaii for our honeymoon! They also have a family and friends discount plan where anyone related to Jason that he arranges for can stay in a Red Lion for around 60 bucks a night. He also gets discounts in the restaurant itself, and the food makes Olive Garden taste like McDonald's. Good Stuff. He likes it because he gets to be creative again. He is MUCH happier. That and he's NOT playing World of Warcraft anymore. Neither of us are. We cancelled the accounts as soon as he got to Wyoming and realized he was being a jackass. I truly have Jason back. I don't know who the hell that guy was that mestastatized over the summer, but that was NOT MY Jakie. I knew it, that's why I agreed to even take him back. I heard it in his voice as soon as he called me from Mommy's house. Anyway, that's the last I'll mention of the worst summer of my life (except for the two vacations and getting to see my mom, that is)
Now, I must spend time with my beloved, before I go to bed and mop my bathroom floor of the kitty litter (have to keep the cats in my room right now due to Leabers allergies) TTYL all!

AFI....what the hell else do I listen to? |
] |
OK....Bumbershoot was actually 2 days ago...not last night, but I just copied from my Myspace blog, so deal.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
So, yes....Bumbershoot was last night...yesterday, whatever. FUCKING AWESOME!!!! I am still high from all the adrenaline there......I can't understand why anyone would WANT to do drugs when you can just go to a concert.....especially someone as TRULY WONDERFUL as AFI!!!!!!!!
So, anyway, Leabers and I got free tickets to it (which we still would have gone ANYWAY regardless of free tickets or not....after all, it WAS for AFI...but free is ALWAYS better!).....courtesy of our best friend Nate, who won them for us on the radio. AWESOME NATE!!!! I seriously owe you forever for that one! (plus he babysat our budding football team so we could go) we got up early yesterday morning, donned our gothy best (me....long black skirt, black AFI tank, black and white striped socks, platform Mary Janes) and headed out to the Seattle Center. Since we had our tickets we didn't have to wait in line to buy them, which was good, but we did still have to wait in line to get our passes to the Mainstage Event at Memorial Stadium which was Hawthorne Heights (suck), Yellowcard (suck) and AFI. After that, we wandered, saw a local band out of Portland called The Derby, bought their CD, saw a street performer who called himself "The Prince of Pain"....he was hot, so we stayed to watch him. First he escaped from a straightjacket, then laid on a bed of nails while his assistant broke a cinderblock on his stomach with a sledgehammer. Then we got a pic with him. Good times.
Blondie also played in the afternoon so we went in and saw her, that was pretty good...for being in her 50's almost she is STILL hot....and a fantastic performer. After Blondie let out we saw that the line for the Headline show was ALREADY starting, so we got in line (it was 3:30 by that point, they let in at 5:15 and Hawthorne Heights wasn't scheduled until 6:30 or so, so we had a LONG wait, but we wanted to get up front for AFI, so we figured it was worth it). We did end up at the front of the line eventually, when they got ready to let us in. Once we got in the stadium, we ended up second row (well, kinda....we were RIGHT behind the people that were up against the barricade....but you can't really call it a "row") CENTER stage......BIG mistake. When Hawthorne Heights started, the crowd rushed forward and the mosh pit started RIGHT behind us. After about 5 minutes I couldn't breathe, and my claustrophobia set in and I started to panic. That and I was getting squished on either side and it HURT. We tried to push back but one or two people pushing against 500 just doesn't work all that well. So, I was carried over the barricade by the Event Staff....I lost my shoe in the process, but luckily an EMT was able to retrieve it, lol. Leah decided to leave as well, so she told the Event Staff that she had a heart condition and if they didn't lift her over the barricade she was going to have a heart attack and it would be their fault for not helping her when she asked because they tried to tell her to fight her way out. While they were trying to help her out she got kicked in the ribs and she still has a bruise from that. So, for the duration of Hawthorne Heights and Yellowcard, we sat in the back of the stadium against the wall and relaxed. Those two bands suck ass so it didn't matter that we didn't see them up close. I have realized now that I am too damn old for mosh pits......lol. When Yellowcard was almost done we started to work our way up to the stage....we eventually found a nice cozy spot RIGHT at the barricade....but off to the side, away from the mosh pit. However, we had a PERFECT view of the stage.....a VERY good view. The only way I could have been happier would be if I could get up front and center right in front of Davey.....and not have to deal with people trying to crush me.
Anyway, AFI puts on the BEST damn show I have ever seen. Davey sings as good live as he does on cd....and yes....he IS hotter in person. I took about 90 pics of them, lol....NO I don't obsess much! Ha. I am completely and utterly hooked on them, even more than I was before (poor Jason's gonna have to put up with even MORE AFI!!!!!), and not only that, but Leah is now just as obsessed as I! Anyway, the concert was abso-fuckin'-lutely AWESOME, and I can't wait to go see them again.....and again, and again, and again....etc...
Hmmm....let's see if I can remember their setlist....I might miss a few but I think I pretty much remember all of them. Unfortunately they were only able to play for an hour....I could have sat and listened to them and watch them all day! *sigh* The songlist might be slightly out of order also, but that's ok.
1. Prelude 12/21 (decemberunderground)
2. Girls Not Grey (Sing the Sorrow)
3. The Leaving Song Part II (Sing the Sorrow)
4. Summer Shudder (decemberunderground)
5. Kill Caustic (decemberunderground)
6. Ever and a Day (Art of Drowning)
7. Endlessly, She Said (decemberunderground)
8. Bleed Black (Sing the Sorrow)
9. Silver and Cold (Sing the Sorrow)
10. Dancing Through Sunday (Sing the Sorrow)
11. This Time Imperfect (Sing the Sorrow)
12. Death of Seasons (Sing the Sorrow)
13. Love Like Winter (decemberunderground)
14. Totalimmortal (AFI EP)
15. God Called in Sick Today (Black Sails in the Sunset)
16. Miss Murder (decemberunderground)
I THINK I got all the songs they played.....If anyone reading this blog was there and remembers, feel free to correct the order, or add any songs that I missed or whatever, k?
Anyway, now I have to go clean my house and I think I'll listen to.....AFI? of course!

I have time to update more before whilst waiting for my coffee, so I will go into our plane trip. First of all, it was supposed to leave at 8 am, but was delayed. Why? you ask? Because shortly after we boarded, we started smelling exhaust fumes. Nice. So they had to have maintenance go and look at it. Anyway, no big deal, so we get in the air, and they come around and ask if we want a beverage (first class, so alcohol is free). I told the Stewardess that I would like 2 Bloody Mary's (one for me, one for Leah). She gives me a snotty look and says, "How old are you" I very firmly and agitatingly replied, "31". She then says "How about her" without even looking at Leah. How fucking rude. Leah goes, "25". Stewardess then says, "I'm gonna need to see some I.D.". We gladly pull ours out and get our drinks. Fucking A. So then after a very dry airplane breakfast (It might be First Class but the food still kinda sucks), we decided to put our makeup on. I pulled out my lotion, and forgetting that the cabin is pressurized, I opened it and a large stream of white lotion goes shooting across Leah and right onto the lady across from us. Or rather, on her very ugly and cheap blue polka dot two piece suit. She gets some wipes from the Stewardess who proceeds to butt into the situation by telling us that we all need to exchange addresses so I can pay for her dry cleaning bill. I'm like fuck that, the hell I will! It wasn't an accident so therefore I'm not paying for shit. Besides, the woman did NOT look upset. So anyway, about 20 minutes later, before we were ready to land, the fucking whore comes back and asked if we exchanged addresses, the woman says, "no it's no big deal". Undeterred, the bitch goes on to say that we can just give her 20 dollars, it shouldn't cost more than that. So she tells US to just give the lady 20 bucks to pay for her dry cleaning, because it's the right thing to do in a situation like that. Leah told her that we don't have any money so we couldn't give her money even if we wanted to, and that it was very rude of her to assume that we had anything to give her in the first place. Bitch decides to ask Leah if someone had spilled something on her clothes accidentally, wouldn't she want them to get cleaned? Leah's like, "no I would know it was an accident and I wouldn't expect anything, and besides, I wear machine washable, comfortable clothes that I don't really care about FOR THAT REASON". Meantime the woman across from us kept trying to wave the stewardess away and tell her it REALLY wasn't a big deal. Fucking whore just didn't want to get it. I don't know why. So we need to call Alaska Airlines customer service and complain. Fuck that. Stupid bitch. Anyway, I really don't think that I will get the same stewardess the way back, that's pretty much an improbability, BUT if god hates me and I DO get that same one, I am going to jump off the plane. Fuck that shit. Either that or I'll just keep her so damn busy that she won't get a moment to sit down! LOL. Oh well, Good times. Huzzah.

Well, Leah came into Sea-Tac on July 9, and it has been go, go, go, non-stop since then! Monday she got dread extensions put in her hair in Seattle (very cool...multi colored and all) so I had Nate and Mary go with me and the three of us wandered around Capitol Hill and Greenlake and crap ALL day....we got home, Jason was being a dick (as usual) so we left again, ate at Cattin's, and met Nate downtown, bummed around there for a couple hours and then went to some porn store where Leah has a friend working, and hung out with her for a while, got home at 4:30 am. Tuesday was shopping, and Pirates of the Carribean! Good times, Huzzah! Great fucking movie, we may have to go see it again. Wednesday was stuff that Leah was helping a friend out with, I won't go into that, Thursday was....umm, oh yeah, we went Downtown again and then I went to Wal-Mart to get some clothes for my trip down here, and then Friday was the official start of my vacation (after 3 pm), so Leah and I found a designated driver, went to Downtown Oly, and proceeded to get smashed. Well, our driver decided to go home because she had to get up early, so she took my car back to my house so we wouldn't have to worry about it, and then Leah's mom decided to go home (yes, Leah's mom is way cool) and so it was just the two of us, we decided to have just one more drink, right before two, so we did that, got even more smashed, and proceeded to run/stumble around downtown oly, until about 3 or so...we got some food, took a cab home and I passed out. BUT...in our drunken stupor, we discovered an ad in The Stranger, for Bumbershoot (the Seattle "hippie" festival at the end of summer) and guess who is playing??????? AFI!!! Fuck yea, those concerts are small and intimate too, so Leabers and I are definitely going!
Saturday we actually stayed home most of the day, and Sunday we got up at literally the ass crack of dawn to catch our flight here!
I am here in Sierra Vista now, and I will be until the 25th. I will post more about our plane adventures later, but now I have to take a shower and get ready, I guess we are going grocery shopping today.

Well, things have calmed down somewhat at home since my last post. Although I'm still not sure what's going to happen between Jason and myself. I'd like to be able to take a magic wand and make it all go away, and for things to be better...and happy, and more sure of themselves. But my life just can't be that simple. I know he loves me. This is obvious. I mean, you absolutely cannot spend almost 7 years with one person and stop loving them all of a sudden. I want to remain optimistic, but it is really hard. Although it's good to have friends. I spoke to Doug, and he is in my corner. So at least I know I haven't lost him or James. And of course, Leah...duh...she's only my best friend in the entire world! But Jason and I have been getting out and doing things together...we went and saw Davinci Code and Nacho Libre last weekend, which was good. But part of me thinks he is lying to me still, and that there is more that he's not telling me. People on the stupid game are talking...that's how Doug found out about stuff....he didn't go into specifics, but he said someone messaged him from the guild (that he left) and asked him what's going on....he wouldn't tell me who it was, but SOMEONE's been talking. I bet I know who it is too. But whatever. If she wants to play dirty, I can play dirty. That's not a problem. Anyway, Doug pretty much thinks Jason is being a fucking loser for what he's doing to me. I feel bad for Jason....but at the same time, it's flattering that Doug thinks so highly of me. But then again, the other side of me thinks that Jason deserves it....he brought this all on himself.....HE caused it. Not me. Eh...we'll see. I believe in us...so I'm basically letting him take the time he needs to sort his head out. One of his major issues is he is losing himself in the game. It's just as if you are living with a drug addict or an alcoholic. THEY don't see the problem with it. He doesn't think that playing for 12 hours A DAY is harmful whatsoever. But I had a LONG talk with him about that. He's also been finding solace in his online guildies. The very same people who are probably talking shit. You can't trust any of those people...THEY AREN'T REAL....I mean, yes, there ARE real people playing those characters, but who you are in real life and who you are in a game or online are very rarely ever the same thing. It's very easy to hide behind a cartoon character and pretend to be what you know you can't be in real life. None of these people are who you can consider real life friends. That's just not realistic. That's not to say I don't enjoy talking to them online.....I do. BUT...NONE of them know my real last name (Jason kinda blew the first name for me), none of them know exactly where I live, or my kids' names, or anything else about my real life, aside from the fact that I live with Jason. Why? because you can't trust that which you cannot see. If I, or Jason dropped out of WoW forever...with no explanation, who would miss us? NO ONE. Why? Because it's a game and the game goes on. They might ask about him for a day or two, but then they'd find a new level 60 warrior/hunter/whatever to group up with, and Jason's character would be nothing but, "oh yeah, he was fun. So let's go questing!" The only people you can count on are your REAL LIFE friends, and Jason seems to have forgotten that. But whatever. That's not my fault. Anyway, I've lost my train of thought now, and I have to pee and find something to eat.
On a sad note...Leah called me yesterday. Josh is going to Iraq after all....at the end of this month. I don't know what else to say about that. It sucks. Big time. But even the word "suck" doesn't begin to describe it. I've never known anyone who has gone overseas to fight a war, and I can't even begin to imagine how Leah or Josh feels. All I can do is be there for her while he's gone, and that's exactly what I intend to do. Besides, I may need to lean on her as well, depending on how things with Jason work out.

Well, I feel like a big giant ass. The "love of my life" isn't sure that he wants to be with me anymore. He's been talking to some fucking slutbag in Australia over...what else? World Of Warcraft. Meaning that he met her in the fucking game. I don't know what I'm feeling right now. Anger? I want to kill him for his stupidity, but at the same time, there's more than just that. See, he could very well die in the next few months, and he's trying to "save" me from pain? WTF?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? I know the problem with his ribs is bad, but good god, he doesn't have to fucking cut me out like that and act like I'll be better off without him! And this fucking broad...I don't know who the fuck she thinks she is, but she better fucking step off and leave him the fuck alone.
*sigh* I don't know what to do. I don't want to lose him, I love him so much....he's the only man I've ever TRULY loved. and now this. WEll, now I know why he's been so hesitant to actually marry me. So that makes me feel really stupid. REALLY STUPID. There's more....he doesn't like my oldest son. My oldest son has issues, and he's been acting out recently. A LOT.
6 fucking years of my life. I swear to god, I'm not dating ever again. Not unless they're rich, with NO heirs. And OLD. But no sex. Ever. I'm taking the money.......that's all I'm after anymore.
FUCK love......it doesn't exist. and anyone who tells you it does is a fuckng liar.
Who knows....it's all up in the air right now, but I could very well be moving.

I finally get to go buy the new AFI cd! Yayness! I had to wait 3 days (it came out on Tuesday) because I did not have money...rent and bills come before new cd's!!!!! LOL, anyway I am going to stop on the way home from work and pick it up...I can't wait! I hope they still have the limited edition ones with the the different band members on the cover or something like that. I shall get Davey...of course.
So anyway, that's basically it. Nate and his friend Mary came over on Sunday to visit for a while. I like her, she's cool and I hope to hang out with them more. We watched Club Dread...that movie is SO wrong! But funny. I shall never watch Bill Paxton flicks the same way again, lol! They brought Hostel over too, but we had no time to watch it. It was already 9 when they got here. But it was good to have some company, and Nate needs to be more sociable, at least with me! I'll have to try to make that a regular happening with them to come over and geek out on movies.
Work sucks as usual but then again, if it didn't suck they wouldn't call it "work", they would call it "fun" or something like that. It's calming down a little. My boss isn't so freaked out anymore over summer. I still want to find something out here, but I'm not as active. I'm taking my time and waiting for the right opportunity. I'm not just going to jump at the first opening out here that I find.
Well, I'm going to find something to eat and then geek on World of Warcraft. God what a fun game! My new night elf hunter, Tialazure made it to 32 last night. Only 28 more levels to go until 60! And then I shall join the "elites". Ha ha ha. But I'm getting more into the guild and talking more, so as a result, I'm getting invited to go on more instances and stuff, because other guildies actually know that I'm there now.
Well, I've babbled enough. Food beckons.

AFI- Miss Murder (in my head...lol) |
] |
Well, the weather is starting to warm up...it's over 80 today. Yesterday was about the same. Not too terribly hot, but since it is really the first warm weather of the season, it feels yucky. Turned the air conditioning on in the house yesterday for the first time...thank God for that.....I'm actually cold right now. But it's hot outside. I love that.
So, I've been seriously considering a new career path...but each time I look, I find myself seeing all the crap opportunities and realizing that I REALLY don't have it that bad. I pretty much do whatever I want at work......I mean, yes, I get my work done. That's why I can do what I want, and I am able to give a lot of input. Sometimes I bitch that I'm not heard there, but really I am. I am sick of the drama there, yes, but that's just one person who causes it, and I can deal with her. I don't make a whole lot of money, but my job really is easy and pretty stress free. I guess my main concern is gas prices and wear and tear on my car, because really, I'm probably not going to make much more to start with out here in Oly than I am now. I will keep my eyes open for a better opportunity out here, but I'm not going to stress about it too much. I mean, shit...I get the hours I want, and the days off I want. How many people can get what they want in terms of time off like that? Granted I don't get PAID for my time off, but who does?
N8 stopped by this morning...haven't seen him in a long time, it was nice to see him. I'm currently trying to get him over here more often.
Cleaned out the garage today....Jason broke down all the boxes and I bagged all the garbage. It's all neatly organized in the front of the garage by the door and the floor is neatly swept and things are put away in cupboards and arranged neatly. I feel accomplished for having finished that. Wow....I used the word "neatly" an awful lot there, lol!
Am currently obsessing on AFI's new song, "Miss Murder" I've been watching the video a ton online, and I've been lucky enough to catch it on MTV (if you knew how little time I spend watching MTV, you'd understand what I mean by "lucky" to catch it). The cd comes out in 20 days and you can bet that I will be there on the day it comes out! Luckily I am off that day, so I will be able to get up early in the morning to buy it! Davey is still lickable. Yum.
Well, I guess that is a good enough update. I don't even know how long it's been since I've updated this damn thing.........I'm mostly over at myspace. It's more active than this is. Livejournal is sort of dead. (he he that was funny)
20 days till AFI - Decemberunderground is released! YAY!!!!!!
