I gotta admit. My Inland Empire is really showing right now. The ultimate plan is to end up with a chunk of pastel violet hair, because #yolo. But apparently that means I need to spend a little time in this color phase that I would call ”burnt carrot orange” and my roommate Keegan described as zombie hair.

If I can admit that I have brohoe hair right now, does that make it ok?

I keep thinking of subjects I might like to write about. And then I cowardly decide that I have no interest in exposing that part of my consciousness to the internets. And then I wonder what changed. I used to enjoy writing.

Now I type sentences and then delete them. And then re write them. And then google the words to insure I am using them correctly. I think my diction is correct, but even then maybe I’m coming off entirely too whiny? Yes whiny, that’s what this is. There are some things that I am just bad at. No matter how hard I try, or how much effort I put forth, I make no improvement. Spelling is one of those areas. I’m so thankful that I live in an age where spell check is most everywhere and I can conceal my flaws.

So while I’m just rambling on here I have to admit, initially in the above sentence I had typed whiney instead of whiny and I thought whiney looked odd and equestrian so I googled and realized my error.

Tomorrow I am going to do something I have never done before. With the help of my friend Jazz, we are going to bleach a chunk of my hair to as close to platinum as we can safely get, and then we will dye that chunk pastel violet. So I’m thinking now my return to tumblr makes sense. I am joining the ranks of all those who have tumbled before me. The mermaid tresses. The candy-colored ombre. The slightly rebellious yet oh so girly. Soon I will be one of them. They tell me the first there is an awkward middle stage where the hair is rendered an uninspired orange color before it can go completely white, so tomorrow I enter that phase.

Is it a good time to start tumbling again? I feel like this might be a good time.

Grandma

Tue, 06 Mar 2012 01:00:00 -0800

I knew something had to be wrong when i saw that my mom was calling me at 2:13 in the middle of her school day. She was crying and I just knew. As soon as I heard the news My hands started shaking. There was that lump in my throat where I couldn’t swallow and I just wanted to vomit the contents of my stomach. I was able to type out an instant message to my boss letting her know and saying that I’d be taking the rest of the day off. Then what? I felt like I needed to go somewhere or do something but I couldn’t even think. I just sat in my car and cried. Sobbed. Wept. I felt faint. All this emotion was leaving my body but I couldn’t bring anything back in. I needed to breathe but I just couldn’t. I decided to drive to Jacob’s house and honestly that was not a wise decision I was in no condition to be driving. I slowly drove down the LA freeways which are now a big part of my life and I couldn’t ring myself to accelerate. I’ve never felt faint before. I’ve always thought that “feeling faint” was something out of old literature that prissy girls would say in order to get attention. Well. Now I know that feeling is real. Since then I’ve felt other emotions. But what I’m feeling more that anything is the absence of feelings. A sense of numbness. Kinda like I’m in this haze. But then those moments that I start to feel again, it’s an intense pouring of all sorts of emotions. I don’t know which side I should embrace. I don’t know if I want to be around people or if I need solitude. I don’t know if I’ll be able to sleep tonight or if my tear soaked pillow will be a reminder of the loss I experienced today and will prevent me from getting rest.

New York was fun. It was cold. I loved spending time with Kenton in his new city. I got a billion points on foursquare. I spent too much money on food and other things. I only took two days off from work but when I came back it seemed like I had missed light years.

October Recap.

Wed, 19 Oct 2011 23:10:00 -0700

Social media is what I do. 8-5. Monday-Firday.

I miss blogging for myself. This is my quick recap of october so far.

I house sat/baby sat a 19 year old with special needs. hardest thing I have ever done. Ever.
I got to see Death Cab for Cutie.
Oktoberfest with the friends for Corinne and Enoch’s birthdays.
I started using Foursquare again. It’s my competitive edge. I want to be the Mayor of everything.
I have been taking the train to work for almost two months now.
I have hours and hours of TV stored up on the dvr that I need to catch up on.
I really need to do laundry.

And the best part of October is still to come. I am going to New York in 9 days!

Sun, 11 Sep 2011 13:42:35 -0700

I haven’t been on tumblr in such a long time. But here I am. This weekend I went camping at the beach with The Point (young adult group at church). It was such a nice weekend away. Exactly what I needed after such a hard week.

In other news, I am now full time at the Social Method. I have to commute to Tustin everyday which is no fun. But my job is lots of fun. So I suppose it evens out.

School started this past week, and it was strange to not be a part of all the back to school hullabaloo. Maybe someday I will go back to school, but for now I am so content to be done with my formal education. (But I still am learning new things daily, it’s so true that you never stop learning.)

Oh and photo credit: here.

A combination picture shows (top) the figures of Soviet soldiers at the base of the Soviet Army monument, painted by an unknown artist, in Sofia on June 17 and a member of the Bulgarian Socialist Party’s youth organisation cleaning the same figures of the monument February 18, 2010. The figures have been painted to resemble U.S. comic book heroes and characters from popular culture like Santa Claus, Superman and Ronald McDonald, the mascot of fast-food chain giant McDonald’s.

Day 15 - Another moment

Sat, 09 Jul 2011 20:10:04 -0700

i never said it would be 30 days of consecutive blogging..

this is me and 4 of my best gfs getting ready to go out in vegas.

that trip was insanity. there were 9 of us crammed into our hotel room.

internets.

Sat, 09 Jul 2011 20:02:46 -0700

ok so i didn’t have the internet at my house for about two weeks. and when all i do at work is sit on the internet it made it so i didn’t really want to come home and go back on the internet.

so i got wayyyyy behind on reading tumblr posts. and i just took the last two day and read through all the posts i missed.

just wanted to explain why i was liking posts that were kinda old. cause i know sometimes that can seem kinda creepy and stalkerish.

Day 14 - Your day in great detail

Mon, 27 Jun 2011 16:32:20 -0700

I’m going to do this about yesterday because that day is already complete.

12 midnight- game night at corinne’s parents house with some awesome friends.

2ish- people started to go home and we got a major urge to go to dennys. we decided that dennys was an irresponsible choice and we would go in the morn, but enoch and john really wanted breakfast foods so corinne cooked a total of 10 eggs for them. in adition to those 10 eggs i ate the white part of 2 hard boiled eggs and enoch ate the yellow part. then we all went to sleep around 3:30.

10:30 am- wake up time. brushed teeth but stayed in pjs for traditional post-sleepover trip to dennys.

i drove elena to dennys (top down of course) and we had a nice quick little chat on the way.

at denny’s they have a delicious new tropical pancake dish. its these macadamia nut pancakes with coconut topping and grilled pineapples. it was so good. like honestly i usually do not like the food there, it’s more just a cheap convenient place. but i legitimately liked the food and i want more.

then i drove home and let the dog out real quick and put on a swimsuit. then i drove to kristin’s hometown of ontario where she, justine, and i swam and sat by the pool for a few hours. it was simply wonderful. then we went to fast wok/quick wok/speedy wok… i don’t remember what it was called and had some chinese food.

then i drove back home and put laundry away and fed the dog and guneapig. then i washed my car because it was super dirty. then i got an email from my boss that i needed to fill out my time sheet but the internet at my house is broken and i haven’t been home long enough to care to fix it. but since this was for work i was going to head to starbucks to use their free internet.

then corinne invited me over for dinner so i just took my computer to her parents house and did my work there while jordan bbqed. after dinner we just chilled and talked about life and whatnot. i learned a lot about what it is that jordan does/wants to do as an engineer. we also talked a lot about next weekend and the details of my bday/the 4th of july, which we will be spending in balboa. then it was time to feed the animals/put them away for the night. geese are real scary. then i went back home

the gas light came home on the way home but i decided to wait until my lunch break today to deal with that. i got home and talked to my parents for a little bit about the weekend and then i got ready for bed around 10:30.

i read a chapter of tell all by chuck palahniuk and then i wanted to start watching season 2 of arrested development but when i opened the dvd cases all the dvds were missing. so then i decided to watch season 5 of the office. i fell asleep at the end of the first episode.

needless to say, it was a grand weekend.
