i know i haven't posted in forever. i think i've figured out that i post the most when i'm unhappy, and i've actually been really happy lately.
things are looking good with my job. i'll be getting my yearly merit raise soon, which is good. i also qualify for a bonus this year, so that's good too.
i'm living in a new apt all by myself, and that is EXCELLENT. i live on the 21st floor, corner apt. all the outside walls are floor to ceiling windows. it's awesome.
things are going good with igor. we've been together like 7 months or something. sometimes i freak out about it a little, but i always calm down about it.
i just bought a new car, i got a 2008 vw jetta. it's so hot. i didn't really need a new car yet, but i am telling myself that i bought it as a birthday present for myself. i am really good at impulse shopping.
that's it, i'll update again in 6 months or something. |

ok so i am a retard. i bought a new ipod nano today. of course it is not compatible with my computer. i still have os 10.3, and it will only work with tiger. i don't really know why i never bought tiger, but i just didn't. and now it is pointless to get it, because the next os is going to come out next month.
igor said that tiger is going to hella slow down my computer, and the next os will probably make it blow up bc my machine is so old. dammit. |

alex and i made chicken teriyaki with rice and mixed veggies for dinner. all i can say is holy shit i am a good cook. i probably ate like two pounds of chicken it was so good. right now i am just digesting and watching office space.
my life has been really busy lately. lots of derby, lots of drinking, lots of seeing a boy. also lots of eating, i'm getting fat. i found out today that my work will pay for half of a gym membership for me haha time to take advantage of that. |

i've been drinking too much lately and it hit me today. i am hungover like whoa. last night was derby (the devil's night dames beat the pistoffs and are now going to the championship), so of course i had to drink heavily. the afterparty was at new dodge so it was ok.
so the other day at work we went through computer upgrades and they gave everyone a new computer. well thursday night they switched mine out, and when i came in friday, i had a monitor, keyboard, mouse, etc, but NO COMPUTER. they lost my computer. i called the help desk to tell them and they laughed at me. it took them like an hour to find it, so it wasn't that bad, but still hilarious. |

i've been busy lately.
i went to nyc with joe. we had a pretty good time, but i was really cranky. i'm not sure why, i think it was having to poop in a community bathroom.
i went on a date the other night. i had a good time. some points were a little awkward but i guess that's normal.
derby has been great lately. i went to grand rapids for a travel game and cheered my head off. some of the girls said they could hear me better on the track then their manager haha.
demf is this weekend and i'm only a little excited. last year blew hard, so i'm hoping this year is better.
i hate writing in this thing anymore, i feel like i have nothing to talk about. |

robert and i went to the strip club last night. one of the strippers winked his brown eye at us, it was pretty intense. also some mystery guy bought us drinks (that we didn't drink) and then never identified himself. it was a good night, but man i am too old to go out on work nights. that makes me so lame.
joe and i are going to nyc next week. i'm excited. |

i've been having really good weekends lately and i want to keep it that way. i think this weekend will work. on thursday i think i'm going to ann arbor to hang out with joe. idk what on friday. saturday is derby in grand rapids. sunday is possibly family stuff but idk because no one ever calls me.
egg is so weird. he shat on the curtains the other day (he is protesting his dirty litter box, i know i know). also today, i was pooping and he DEMANDED that he could sit in my pants around my ankles. i got a picture of it but i can't find my bluetooth thing. |

this weekend has been one of the most exhausting but most exciting weekends i've had in FOREVER. on friday, i went up to ann arbor, to a gay law students party, and to the necto. i drank more than i should have, but i didn't get sick. i was really social and proud of myself for talking to a bunch of people i've never met before, because i tend to be kind of shy or whatever in situations like that. it was nice hanging out with robert because we never hang out, and he's a cool kid.
yesterday was derby, and i almost didn't go because i was so exhausted from the night before. but i knew it would be a good bout, and plus my family and a bunch of coworkers were going, so i had to go. d-funk beat the dames like 200 something to 150 something. my mom was so drunk i kind of wonder if she remembers it.
today i switched the wheels on my skates to outdoor wheels, and i think i'm going to go to belle isle later and skate around. then take a nap. |

egg can't stop sneezing. i don't know if he's sick or allergic to something or just being an asshole. he slept next to my head all night so of course he kept sneezing on my face. if he's still sneezing tomorrow i'm taking him to the vet. |

i'm feeling kind of down. i think it's because alex is on her period, therefore i am on my period. i just feel kind of lonely and bored, but to the point where i'm not even motivated to do anything about it. also, my house is trashed and that's not helping any.
my cats have been really cute lately. they're like reversing roles. miso keeps beating egg up and she's all crazy, and egg has become a lap cat. also, i bought them this ~ambient kittens~ dvd which is just like video of kittens being retarded, and they LOVE it. |

i guess i've been kind of avoiding lj for a little bit. nothing really new and exciting has been happening lately. today is my birthday, and it was nice. my coworkers took me out to lunch, and my parents took me out to dinner. right now i'm home alone with my cats and i feel kind of lonely. but it's pretty much bedtime so whatever.
i am wearing jeans to work tomorrow. |

i think egg has parkinsons. he is sitting on his back and his back legs are in front of him, and his right leg won't stop twitching. also, miso is trying to eat left over chocolate chip cookie bits off of my teeth. this is weird, right. |

i had a dream last night that egg was dying. he was bleeding all over the place. i was so upset and crying that i called my mom. as i was on the phone sobbing to her, he jumped up on my bed and gave birth to five kittens. he wasn't really dying, he was just like pre-birthing or something. one of the kittens was really cute, it was white with a big head and two black racing stripes down it's back. |

omg the derby bout last night was amazing. we played ohio, and beat them by like only 15 points. it was a pretty close match the entire time, but i think detroit was always ahead. there was some awesome moments, like when killbox got checked in the face and ended up with a bloody nose, and when barracuda (from ohio) was jamming and pulled on the shirt of one of her own players (pulling her down!) to get ahead, or when killa fitzgerald (from ohio) went down into the crowd and then skeez went after her ready to kill (she got ejected from the game haha). i got to stand on the bench behind the players benches for the match, which was GREAT. i can't wait til the next bout.
after the match everyone went to northern lights. i got fucking wasted, and i think i'm still a little drunk now. i wish i was still sleeping, but fucking egg was too hungry and wouldn't leave me alone. |

i'm back from nyc. i had a good time. i spent a lot of time bonding with 11 bc alex spent a lot of time with rudy and his family. we saw some famous people (like david bowie and the girl from mythbusters). i ate a lot of shitty food (i mean seriously, how many bad dishes could i order). 11 and i walked about 30 miles on monday alone. we met karen and went to this drag bar called LIPS and it was amazing, except that i got too fucking drunk and thought i was gonna die. 11 and i almost got impulse tattoos, but i just ended up drawing on her with sharpee instead.
going back to work was less awful than i thought it was going to be. i was busy, but i didn't have 9283747 messages or people telling me they needed things NOW NOW NOW.
i bought a black nintendo ds today because i had some target gift cards to blow and also bc i am awesome at spending money. |

i got new skates for xmas. my grandma bought the wrong size (because they didn't have my size...), so i went to the rink today to exchange them for the right size. anyways, i asked them to help me change my wheels out (the wheels that came with them were too hard), and they were like "that'll be $7" and i was like "even though i just spent $100?" and they were like "YEAH" so i said fuck that and left. that sucked because i wanted to skate.
the rest of the day i napped. man my vacation is starting out boring. i can't wait for nyc! |

alex just moved in. her stuff is everywhere. the cats are freaking out about it. i'm trying not to freak out about it, and i'm just going to let her organize her stuff the way she wants to.
i forgot to pick up my dry cleaning yesterday because i am a dumbass, so now i have nothing to wear to work tomorrow. to cheer myself up, i think i will go roller skating tonight for ~adult skate~. |

i'm back from charlotte. the trip was ok, nothing too special. i spent a lot of time eating and at the movies. i screwed up booking my return trip so i had a freak out on the last day when i realized it. eventually i got things straightened out, so i made it home ok.
the water is off at my apt. they are doing construction in the basement so that's why. hopefully it will be back on soon, because i have to do laundry, dishes, and change the litter (and wash my hands after). some other things for today are going to home depot to buy pots and dirt, and going roller skating. the pots and dirt are for the trees from the arbor day foundation that finally came in the mail. i would just plant them in the lot, but i don't want some asshole driving over them after it's snowed over. so they're going to be indoor plants for a couple years i guess.
miso has a big scab on her head from her huge wound, and i want to pick it SO BAD. i don't know why, i just do. it looks like a dried leaf, it like comes up off her head. she is being ultra loving today though, so i'll leave it alone. |

last night alex and i went to oakland mall. this is the ghettoest mall in the area. we had to buy camo pants for derby. of course we each found a pair that actually weren't all that awful. after shopping, we had dinner at the shittiest olga's in existence. then we went roller skating at riverside. there was one new derby girl there skating and we chatted with her for a bit. then i spent the night at alex's.
miso's head is all fucked up. since i wasn't home at all yesterday, of course the cats decided to get in a fight (or maybe they were just playing). anyways, she has a big gash in her forehead that is kind of raw. i've cleaned it out the best i could, and i guess i'll keep doing that for the next few days. i don't think she needs stitches or anything, but i'll keep a close eye on her anyways. egg needs a chill pill. |

i'm back from ohio. the trip was pretty good. training went well i guess, at least as well as it could have within two days. the hotel was pretty nice i guess. the hot tub was alright but not hot or bubbley enough, the pool was too cold, and the game room stole all my quarters, but the restaurant was good. i had a delicious steak and several cocktails for dinner last night, and i'm going to expense report it tomorrow.
tomorrow i am going to try to go skating, and also i have to buy some camo pants. on saturday is the roller derby, and then i think i might go with joe to backstreet. sunday i leave for charlotte (for 4 days). this month is too busy. |

yesterday i went to olga's by myself to have lunch. i had that one awesome waitress that tyler and i had about a month ago. she remembered me and asked where tyler was, and then tried to get me to order an ultimate shake. she was cracking me up so hard, telling me how when she was like 8 she had a tapeworm and was really sick and the doctors didn't know what was wrong with her, and one day her dad came in with a tape measure to measure her, and she started crying and asked WHY ARE YOU MEASURING ME FOR MY COFFIN AND I'M NOT EVEN DEAD YET?! oh god i was laughing so hard. i really wanted to ask her to hang out but i still think that's creepy. |

i am never allowed to go grocery shopping by myself again. i know i have said this at least a thousand times, but i am serious now. i went to meijer way out by my work, because i wanted to go to burlington coat factory and dsw first (both of those places were busts). anyway, i spent $150 and i seriously feel like i didn't get anything at all except fruit and alcohol. i did clean out my fridge though when i got home (so i could have room for the cookie dough and parmesan cheese i bought), so maybe that alone is worth the money. |

roland came into town for the holiday, so we went to the bar last night. first we went to pronto, which was the same as always. kind of lame, lots of old guys, but still kind of funny. after that we went to como's for some pizza, and we had a really awful and really old waitress. then we went back to pronto, to listen to the exact same songs we listened to a little earlier in the night. after that we went to luna, stayed for three minutes because it was REALLY lame, and then went to goldcoast. i happen to know one of the strippers there and it was very lol. also, there was this boy who wouldn't leave me alone, but it's not like he was even attempting to talk to me or touch me or anything really. he would just come stand next to me and be all WHAT'S UP and that's it. he was kind of cute but i wasn't into it so it ended up being kind of annoying.
even though i just woke up, i'm still REALLY tired. hopefully family time today isn't too torturous. |

i met alex at a house party last night. the place was packed, but she was the only one i knew there besides one of the girls that lived there, so i didn't stay very long. i did see one boy that i saw at last weekend's party and talked to him briefly, but we didn't really have anything to talk about so i was like whatever bye. so i ended up leaving the place around midnight, and decided to go to the bar by myself. i've never been to the bar by myself before, but it wasn't too bad. i went to sass at oslo. i figured i'd get there and know half of the people there, but i couldn't find anyone i knew at first. eventually more people started showing up and i saw more people i knew, so it wasn't too bad. i ended up leaving there around two and then getting white castle breakfast on the way home. it was fucking nasty, i'm never getting it again. |

i spent most of today with joe. we went to denny's for lunch and i got the get fat platter. it was delicious but disgusting at the same time. after that, we went to target and spent $50 on board games and then played them for the next five hours or so. then i came home and shaved my head with clippers i borrowed from him. well i didn't really realize that his would be that much different than tyler's, but the 1/2 guard on joe's is SO MUCH SHORTER than the same one on tyler's. i'm sure i had the settings different or something because i am retarded, but whatever. my hair is so fucking short. i feel kind of self conscious about it but i will probably love it by tomorrow. |

my new roller skate wheels and stuff came in the mail yesterday. it took me like an hour and a half to change everything on my skates. getting new bearings into the wheels without the proper tools is kind of a bitch. i had to use a nickel and the back of a screwdriver to pound them in. anyways, of course i wanted to try them out, so i went to the roller rink with my sister. there were like a million teenagers there, so that kind of sucked, but my skates are so awesome. the wheels spin so fast that i can make it around the rink without lifting my feet. that is insane. anyway, every time a teenager would trip me (on accident or just being an asshole) i would end up flailing my arms a little bit and almost every time i would end up accidentally hitting them in the chest. it was kind of funny because they'd give me this look of UGH WHAT ARE YOU DOING and i was like SORRY MAN DON'T TRIP ME.
after skating last night kate and i went to borders. i haven't been in there in like six months. turns out i was TERMINATED so apparently i don't work there anymore. oh well. after that we went to redcoat with the crew. good times.
today i am going to ann arbor to hang out with joe. we'll probably go see a movie or go shopping or something. i'm really tired though so i hope the activities of this afternoon involve a nap. |

i rotated my roller skate wheels yesterday before i went to the rink. i didn't think it would have a huge effect, but it was noticable. my front left wheel on my left skate was all not spinny and shit, so i moved it to the back. apparently that wheel is really important, because i could skate faster. or maybe i'm on crack and was just imagining it.
i started reading dogrun by nercesian today. it's actually so good, i didn't expect it to be. i only have like 20 pages left. i guess i have to try to find his other books cheap somewhere. i think i'm going to read another book by a m homes next. she might be my new favorite author. |

i found out at work today that i am going to north carolina for a couple days in december for training. i am going all by myself, and i don't know anyone (i don't have any contacts at that site). i am pretty excited but really nervous too. excited because i feel like such a grown up, nervous because what the hell am i supposed to do for two days in a city where i don't know anyone and i'm not going to be like shown around by a colleague? i will probably spend a lot of time at the pool i guess.
in other important news, my orange tree is so happy! it thinks that it's spring and started flowering. there is new growth all over the fricken thing and buds everywhere. i can't wait til i have like 75 oranges on it and i can start eating them.
also important, my cats are annoying the shit out of me. i guess they are probably lonely because i'm not home all that often and there is no one else living here. so when i am home they like rub all over me and won't stop meowing. and egg has to be touching me like at all times, and miso does too but only when i'm sitting up on the couch. also, miso is completely insane. every once in a while i will search the house for her and can't find her. well yesterday i found her hiding spot - IN THE KITCHEN CUPBOARD SITTING ON THE POTS AND PANS. she is insane.
also one last thing, i'm reading i, lucifer and it's really good. one of the characters had a dream and she said "i had a dream that i had a baby and was holding it, but when i looked down it was an almond slice." (ok i am paraphrasing because i don't have the book on me but whatever.) i thought that was hilarious because it was totally a dream i would have. |
