Whackin the Quaffle
So, I've sold about 5 or 6 beanies :D and have slowly been teaching myself how to knit. It seems all of that, my etsy and such, is doing alright :)
Not too much else is going on, accept I'm the proud owner of
HARRY POTTER AND THE HALF BLOOD PRINCE!!!!Yup, I went in and asked if they had a different "special" edition, maybe one that had Ron on it, instead of Malfoy. The guy looks at me weird and replies, "I don't know about that, but we have a special tin one". I literally did a jig and asked him "WHAT! WHERE??? SHOW ME!!!!" and he did, then I proceeded to purchase it and danced out of the store.
Hmm.. oh, and Ahmed & Catherine are gone.
What else, Jason bit my butt, that was ridiculous and hilarious. The wife and I are in the process of fixing up Christmas goodies. I'm currently craving Limon Hot Cheetos and coffee. OH! I've kicked ass on movies lately:
Moon (highly recommend it, the score = Clint Mansell! which is LOVE)...All About Steve, Confessions of a Shopaholic, Coraline, Couples Retreat, Bedtime Stories, Four Christmases, Love Happens, Nick & Nora's Infinite Playlist, Pandorum, Taken, The Station Agent...I'm sure theres one or two more I can't recall. But YAY for good links and not having to pay money for guilty pleasure movies :)
For now, I'm going to work on a scarf & listen to some Lykke Li.

"there is but 1 PSH" i told him...
Matt:
hes dead
i killed him
and carved him up into little pieces
i picked my favorite pieces
and incinerated them
then mixed them with heroin
and shot them directly into my eyelids
and this is why my friends are awesome,
even though i got a lil upset thinking about PSH dying.

Where I lay my head...
My friend just asked what my room looked like. Alas, I'm currently in Modesto, living in my mom's "office", which was formerly my room. So it's small, cramped, but I love my closet & clothes :)
When you first walk in my room, this is what greets you. Along with A storage box of scarves & a box of purses, sitting next to a portion of my crocheting/yarn stuffs.
Entering my closet, this shows where I stash my 100 or so t shirts, where I pile extra shoes & the dresses that I never thought I'd accumulate:
When I move and have more room (which I mostly want for my clothes and shoes), it will be amazing. But for now I make due with the room I have and try to keep my shit organized a bit.

The 'boyfriend' is awesome.
He did a new video for NY fashion week, will post as soon as its link-able.
Currently craigslisting, media-matching, and reality staffing, looking for work. Although broke, I've even looked at apartments. But I think until jobs are serious and checks/cash are being made, I'll have to squat with someone(s). So getting to see Kyrsten would be AMAZING, and stay with her a lil maybe.
oh. Moving to LA is the plan.
NY and Modesto unite :)
Happy? I could almost throw up just thinking about it.
dare i say ...
this might be(come) real.

You Blockhead!!!
So today was quite the long day.
I got about 4 or 5hrs of sleep, up and showered and half dressed by noon. Then I headed over to Brittaney's to take beanie pictures, I actually accomplished one of my "goals" for the day:
I'll say that this guy is my subconscious inspiration:
Also had discussions of going to Disneyland next month with a big group of friends, and if Derek can get it worked out, we'll be seeing Converge & Mastadon the night before Disneyland. THEN after DLand, going to The Magic Castle. If this weekend all works out just right - I can easily say it will be one of the better weekends of the past couple years. Fingers crossed!
As for now, I sleep. Hmmph, look at that.. it's not even 4am yet.

I got about 4 or 5hrs of sleep, up and showered and half dressed by noon. Then I headed over to Brittaney's to take beanie pictures, I actually accomplished one of my "goals" for the day:
Finished another beanie, so possibly maybe, take a couple more pictures tomorrow. We'll see.
Hmm, what else. I went over to Brandons and we headed out to have dinner. I ordered a margarita on the rocks, which I guess they took as "give me tequila and 2 cubes of ice, with a dash of salt. Thanks" because thats exactly what I got.
After, we grabbed coffee and headed back home to watch The Mentalist & work on magic and beanies.
(side note: watch The Mentalist. you won't regret it. and the fact that Simon Baker is a bit foxy doesn't hurt...)
Anyhow, Brandon's doing his thing, and I'm working on another beanie as I watch the show - and I get incredibly into whats going on and zone out. Next thing I knew, I snapped back into reality and realized I had a crochet needle (size G) in my nose. I turn around to Brandon and say "Holy crap, check this out!!!" I gauge down on the needle, to an E I believe, and ta-da I'm a blockhead. Needless to say I'm pretty jazzed on my random new talent, which I say like that because at the moment I'm only sticking a random crochet needle in my nose, I've not yet "mastered" lol.
(PS: Crochet needle that I don't use to make the beanies I sell, just saying!)

Since I got to keep my leg...
I thought I'd do a little update. First off:
My right leg is still in tact, despite what people might have said from the "unknown" bite I discovered at the bend of my knee. I woke up and looked at my leg to discover a large purple circle, with a fairly "hot pink" middle and a brown bite-looking-mark in the center. I didn't panic, I just showed everyone cause it was gnarly. To make a long story short ... (Too Late!) (ps: tell me what movie thats from and I'll give you an amazing high5. hint: 80's) I still have my leg.
On to another topic, I finally started up my Etsy!!!
I'm pretty jazzed. It's nothin fancy yet, I'm still getting the hang of things and have more pictures that need to be taken and uploaded. But still, I'm glad its finally up and I like :)
Had a lovely lil dinner party at Jasons this last Sunday. I made spaghetti and my, dare I say, infamous spaghetti sauce!? Jason "made" the garlic bread and we all had teas, Kerns, nummy vegetarian meat-less balls, followed with some pool and good conversations. Sometimes I forget how the simplest of things can be so refreshing.
Got to see Toy Story 1&2 in 3D with Brandon, oh my goodness! Let me tell you, for my first 3D movie adventures, I was not disappointed. It was so amazing, I might even see it again!! Then I just saw Paranormal Activity with Erik. It had its moments but nothing to be raving over, especially those reviews:
Still no luck on the job front, goddamned town. More than a couple times a day, I think about moving in with a friend in SF to see if I can find work there. I'm that in need. SF, LA or NY would be ideal for me. OH!!!!
AHMED IS BACK!!!
Granted its only until the beginning of December, but HE'S BACK!! We were all so excited the night he got back, as soon as my car was parked, Brandon and Erik were running towards the apartment before my door was locked. Then as I proceeded to run, with extremely hot coffee in my hand, I lost my belongings on the way, and didn't care! After I was sure I had squeezed all the air out of Ahmed :) I went back to pick up my: ipod, camera, gum and other lil odds and ends. About an hour or 2 later after a quick run to the grocery store (where I scored everyone the perfect individual drinks woo!), I realized I didn't have my wallet. Alas, when we walk back to the apartment, I find my wallet in the bushes. No harm, just funny I didn't realize and that it was actually still there, money & all.
The reason I thought of Ahmed being back is because, I was even thinking of getting my passport and going to Australia for a while. He said he has his place and we're welcome to visit whenever. The economy is amazing over there, it's clean, everyones doing extremely well (he's baffled) and said it'd be easy to get a minimum wage job, and be able to pay for your own apartment over there. Sounds like a fun experience.
Ok... so it's now 624am. What was I thinking with the 130am coffee? Tomorrow/later today: Beanie pictures, pick out a vegetarian dish for dinner on Sunday, laundry, read :)
The Cure - Doing The Unstuck
Grizzly Bear - The Knife
Bon Iver - Skinny Love
Morrissey - Suedehead
MJ & Paul McCartney - The Girl Is Mine
The Contours - Do You Love Me?
What I can't get enough of right now.
MUUUUUAW! I'm off for now, lovely lil morning nap before I'm up and running.
love you.

"One of the scariest movies of our time!"Blah blah blah. I jumped a couple times, and yelled at the end. Nothing big, but it did make me more excited to see The Fourth Kind next month! Are you kidding me!! Aliens! Oh man, god help whoever sees that with me, I'll be screamin all over the place and chances are, squeezing the life out of whoever is next to me's hand!

There is crap in this town of Modesto.
No jobs.
Everyones leaving for relationship reasons.
It's hotter than a muthafucka
An I feel like I'm loosing my fight w/ motivation.
"We're so wonderfully wonderfully wonderfully
Wonderfully pretty!
Oh you know that I'd do anything for you...
We should have each other to tea huh?
We should have each other with cream
Then curl up by the fire
And sleep for awhile
It's the grooviest thing
It's the perfect dream"
"And this is why I hate you
And how I understand
That no-one ever knows or loves another
Or loves another"
a lil MK always makes me feel better
