We are eyes, we are builders. I'll show you aflutter,
sir!
A year ago yesterday I arrived in Reno. As of a week ago I no
longer am employed with the company I moved here to work for.
I want to move to the bay area or Chicago or possibly back to
Atlanta, pending the right offer. I'll link to my resume tomorrow.
While my professional life is definitely something I'm thinking
about, I'm more caught up in the awesome experiences I've been
having in my personal life lately. My week in SF was more fun
than I can even describe here, despite the terrible car issues
and a few emotional disappointments. I got to see so many people
I love. It made me really happy. There were a few people I unfortunately
didn't get a chance to see, and I plan to make up for that as
soon as I can. |

Since my birthday things have been so awesome. Passion. Intensity.
Momentum.
Today he said, "You are so fucking exciting. You fulfill
my need for uncertainty in a huge way." I love that I can
be that for someone. It's such an amazing compliment. I have
people like that in my life and I am deeply grateful for them.
I know I've been saying this jokingly for a week now, but it's
so true - if you're feeling dissatisfied with your life - get
excited. God. I can't stop giggling. |

Thrill of discovery.
Divine intervention.
Cruel, cruel change.
Pain of rejection.
King persuader, congratulations
If you decide you need me, I'll be wondering if I care |

You only need one great idea, right?
I really need my DNS changes to propagate please. Ugh. Damn
internet.
I'm super inspired and happy today. I slept too late by way
of throwing the alarm/cellphone onto the floor in a mini fit
of sleep-induced annoyance. I'm starting out about 3 hours
later than I wanted, but spontaneity is good, and I'm all
prepared to be flexible, et al. So, I have to admit that the
TR shit is good shit. Wow. I'm probably going to be writing
a lot more. If not here, then somewhere else... so let's begin.
I've always known that I have an addictive personality. I
become obsessed easily. I've known this since I was 11. This
is why I don't drink, do drugs, smoke, eat chocolate, etc.
I never have, because I know if I do it once - I'll most likely
develop an addiction. Those things - and many of the things
I abstain from - are not necessary to sustain my life, so
why have them there? Food is a different story. You need it
to live, it's easy to justify. I definitely think I have some
kind of food addiction and eating disorder. But because of
my obsessive personality, and learning a little bit, I figured
out that I'd rather be obsessive about controlling it. Yeah,
total eating disorder flag. But, I've lost 39 pounds and am
wearing clothes from high school. So, the benefits outweigh
the possibility of issues right now. Aside from the vanity
part, I promise I can out run you. I've never tried for speed,
but I bet I can do 10 miles faster than you. I'm also slowy
becoming a vicious fighting machine thanks to my boxing classes.
Being in control makes me happy. Choosing my own destiny
and what happens to me in my life is something I don't want
to ever let go of. I think it's obvious that there is a specific
set of situations where I allow someone else to control me
completely. I make that decision, I know where it starts and
where it ends. It's beneficial to my binary personality. I
work well with structure. I work well providing structure,
and honestly - things tend to go badly when there isn't a
clear definition of who is in charge.
I'm leaving in about 2 hours. I don't know when I'll be back.
I expect to have ridiculous amounts of fun and annoy plord.
Upon my return, I expect that some of my Tiger Beat vital
statistics will have changed. Change is good, because I wither
and die when I'm not being challenged.

These are the times when I am most productive, happy, adventurous
and open. I'm filled with the promise of possibility. It's like
breaking up with someone when you're in love with someone else.
The most pessimistic, negative asshole I know has an amazing
ability to be positive and inspiring at just the right moment.

Sometimes I want a boyfriend. Other times I'm really really
grateful that I'm single. And other times I want to go on a
violent killing spree. |

I had a really lovely Valentine's Day. I slept late and then
got dressed to head up to Tahoe and visit with Jan. As I was
backing out of my front door to lock it, I tripped and fell
and hit my head on the concrete of the patio. Ow. I looked up
and saw that I had tripped over a box. Then remembered the door
bell ringing early this morning and me ignoring it. In the box
were flowers from a really hot boy. Thank you.
I drove up to Tahoe and hung out with Jan for the evening. He
is super nice and laid back. He is jealous of my hot Rebel Flag
belt buckle. I got to meet his sister and her husband and their
awesome doggie. Dogs rule! We had dinner and Jan made a fire
and it was all relaxing and alpine-esque. I had a nice time.
Looks like I'm going to RSA next week. I'll probably have free
time too, so... hit
me up. |

I had such the awesome incredible happy birthday. Thank you
so much to the people who gave me $2.00. I got lots of funny
notes and emails and had just a really awesome day.
Thursday - Went to work, got flowers and lots of phone calls
and $2.00 many times. After work Mark took me to get ice cream.
It was the most ridiculous insane cookie pie thing I have
ever seen. Neither of us could finish even half of what we
ordered. It was yum and full of delicious forbidden sugar.
After that we went to my house and I tried on clothes. Ha.
Girlie.
Friday - I woke up way later than I had wanted to. I got
myself dressed and packed and drove over the big scary mountain
to SF. The drive over was beautiful. Sunny with blue skies
and not too cold. I talked on the phone the entire drive.
I hate driving, but I love talking on the phone and combining
the two really helped. I did a little shoe shopping and wandered
around Ikea for a little bit. That night Montell picked me
up and we went to "The Darkest Hour." Spooky, isn't
it? The door people were really nice and the people there
seemed generally happy. My friend Devon and his friend Eric
arrived shortly thereafter and was that ever funny. Devon
wore a polo shirt with a little man on a horse on it for me.
I was really happy to see them, they're fun. Somehow Montell
conned Darren
into showing up as well. That was so funny, I laughed and
laughed. He's promoting a club night there called 'Nocturnia.'
I shrieked in terror and he said, 'Yeah, yeah, Kary said I
could use the name.' Hilarious. Melanie from #sfrh was there
and I reconized her from her picture. She's super friendly
and nice and
reminds me of kids from Atlanta. Go to Body
Rapture and tell her you want to do her.
After the club closed, Montell took me to this diner, I think
it was near the Castro. It was sort of loud and crazy. Everyone
was hip and fashionable and had obviously just come from their
respective subculture's clublands. It was fun. I had a spinach
bacon omellete with cheddar. I also ate a bagel. Thus began
my downward spiral into sugarsugar weekend of sugar.
Saturday - I drove around and considered going to San Jose
to barge in on Austin and nehp. Then I remembered that it
was far and I hate driving. I picked up Roger to go to ERIC
GOTTESMAN's fancy party. Roger baked me a big pink funfetti
cake! Wow. It was so incredible. It's been far too long since
someone baked me a cake. He and I went to the grocery store,
because I always make sure to provide vokda with cake, as
the two seem like they go together. I saw Bartles and James
wine coolers 2 for $8. He actually bought them! I think he
got 'berry blast' and 'melon' or something like that. I picked
up a bunch of Little Debbie cakes and some cocktail umbrellas
so as to increase the fanciness. Then we drove to Alameda.
It's so cute there. I want to see it in the daytime. We pulled
up to ERIC GOTTESMAN's house and got rockstar parking. His
apartment was just about at capacity. As you might imagine
for a party held by a rock star of his magnitude. I met lots
of people really quickly and got sort of disoriented, but
then I saw Chip and felt super happy. Chip and Cappy have
given me some of the best relationship advice I've ever received.
Classics such as "Fuck him!" and "Never talk
to that fucker again!" not to mention all the good reasoning
they use. Seeing Chip was a total highlight. I got to see
Yen, Jej and sashie. It was like super secret society meeting.
I got to meet thejane, Starr, Chip's roommate Chase and lots
of other fun people. ERIC GOTTESMAN and his lovely girlfriend
Shannon are ridiculously cute and gave me hope for Western
Civilization. I'm glad Jake didn't set anyone on fire and
Yen is the cuddliest thing I have ever seen. It was super
happy and I had a really good time. People ate cake and actually
drank wine coolers. The cops only came 3 times and jej hugged
me. Fun.
This was definitely one of my best birthdays ever.

As you may or may not know - today is my birthday.
If everyone who reads this site gives me $2.00, I will have
$10.00! I could go see a movie, or buy nail polish, who knows.
The possibilities are endless. So, you should donate $2.00
to my birthday fund and it will make me smile. I promise.
 |
Here are some reasons:
- It's my birthday
- My site is funny and makes you laugh, and my hosting costs
more than $300 a year.
- I've helped you fix your unix server, your webcode, your
car, your love life or some other thing that was worth at
least $2.00 to you.
- I have given you webspace, DNS services, domain names or
a funny feeling in your pants. FOR FREE.
- I've been a good friend, and you think it's funny that "I
want my two dollars!"
Seriously, it's cheaper than sending a card, and even cheaper
than a phone call in some cases - although I love phone calls,
so do both.
Also, don't forget - I'm going to be in San Francisco for
an all out wacko party weekend. Call or SMS
me if you want to meet up.
Oh, one more thing - I am very smiley right now. Here is an
emoticon to help illustrate that :D

My birthday is thursday. I will be 17 years old.
I'm going to San Francisco for the weekend, so if you wanna
meet up, I suggest giving me a call. I can't wait to terrorize
ERIC GOTTESMAN. So excited. Oh, general disclaimer about mountains,
car trouble and inclement weather. |

The world is a complex but tiny little place. We all know each
other. Or know of each other. Or I've seen you around. Or you've
seen me around. We've seen them around. Sometimes it's a nice
surprise to see how connected we all are. Other times it's depressing
as hell and makes you feel like you'll end up drowning in a
sea of mediocrity. I love the unknown. Everybody loves a mystery.
See where I'm going here?
I promise, there are people who you have never met. Who you
have never heard of. Who your friends have never slept with
- in fact, they are not 2 or 3 or even 4 degrees of separation
from you. They're 6. They're that far away. They're that removed
from everything and everyone you've ever known. They are that
new, and that unknown and that amazing.
Go find them. |

The man, the myth, the guy who I crushed on HARDCORE when I
was 12 years old just friended me on orkut. I'm like... in giggling
hysteria.
Also, Geoff Harrison...
wow. I knew they'd both grow up to be nerds. I didn't think
I would though. |
