My passion is art and cooking. My profession is retail. My future is therapy. And I don't mind men in corsets, but i do hate phrases.
i should warn you...i've been angry lately. anyone who knows me knows how much i hate stupid girls...
i'm a nerd. at 17 i took a train up to vancouver, b.c. for an x-files gathering with my internet friends. and the next year when i flew out to d.c. for another one. miss you guys!
my favorite city is nyc. daddy went to columbia for law school so i stayed out there a few times. on one trip, my uncle pulled a knife on a guy in the subway and there was a shooting outside our apartment. but it's still safer than sacto. and those el trains are prompt...
i've seen tori amos in concert 6 times. one time with front row seats. in concord i laid on alex's hood and drew her a picture of tori. i still owe one to catita b/c i'm a jerk. don't worry. i haven't forgotten that.
i worked in and managed coffee shops for 5 years. i don't touch the stuff anymore, but i can make you a double nonfat half-caf dry cappuccino that weighs 2 ounces. it's all about the head on those caps, right catita?
i met my onetime best friend david in an internet chat room 10 years ago. who lets their 16 year old kid meet a boy from the internet?? ha ha...they tried to stop us.
my first roommate got the boot after he killed my tori christmas tree, borrowed my kickwear pants, ate my ghirardelli chocolate, and lost my joy division cd. i was 18 and had just gotten laid off my job, but i still love ya, ryan, wherever you are.
about 6 or 7 halloweens ago, hope dressed as siouxsie and i was her banshee. need those pics, hopie!!
katie threw my shoe out into the street outside old ironsides where we were waiting to see dee dee ramone play...about a year before he died.
my best friend catita drove 600 miles to come get me in rainier, oregon and we made fun of a boy while frosting his hair and he didn't even know it. and yes, we watched mystery men and convinced the theatre employee to give us all sorts of swag, including the giant vinyl advertising banner. yeah, it almost ruined our friendship when i fought for it and threw catita the smaller crap as compensation. but i *was* the one who convinced the guy we needed it! ....back in my more selfish and clueless years...i still have it, catita! want to hang it in your new place?
i have problems driving too fast while listening to good music. catita and talula (the tornado mix) were always a good combination. one time with hope and katie and owen i was playing the cure so loud that i didn't realize i was doing 90 in 3rd gear on the freeway. stench. another time i was rocking out to bliss so loud that i didn't realize a string of emergency vehicles was trying to pass me. dang.
this is fun. i never kept a journal very well. add our fun memories to this list!
