things are going really well right now.

do you ever get scared to say that things are going well? like it's asking for trouble? i'm trying to just enjoy being happy!

i am growing a bunch of different herbs for my stackable planter, and they are growing so fast! i get to watch them get bigger every day, sometimes hour by hour. they are adorable little seedlets now, still far from transplant time, but oh the cuteness.
some are medicinal, some are for food. i will have to research soon to find out what to use each for, beyond the basic chart i have. oh, plants!

my new favorite way to eat vegetables.

the pumpkin bread of amazing deliciousness has now been surpassed by the butternut squash bread of amazing deliciousness. actually i had to make them muffins, because i couldn't find the bread pan. but that is hardly relevant to deliciousness!

it just won't stop fogging.

there is a bit of blue and sun now, actually. but it feels like everpresent fog.

been thinking of posting an ad on craigslist for someone to move to costa rica with me. too bad there's not a craigslist minus the wackos.

I want to live in a world that's covered in a few feet of water. The rich would use boats, the poor (that'd be me!) would wade through life in waist-high waders.

I wish I didn't have to hear my neighbor masturbate every few hours. It's hard to tell whether it's coming from his bedroom or bathroom, so maybe he just really enjoys brushing his teeth.

Every day on the way home, right after I pass the strip club, I see a run-down car parked in front of a run-down office space.

Bumper sticker on the back reads:

The Electable
LaRouche

Talk about lowering your car's resale value. Oh, and the italics are not my own. The bumper sticker really is that defensive.

For Melanie

Proof that you DO look like Hilary Duff, but with black hair. She lost a little weight so she looks a bit different than she used to but she's totally you!!!

I used to think of Portland only as Seattle-lite, but its bridges have won me over. I want to live in a city where I go across bridges constantly! I guess if I lived there, I wouldn't get lost on such a grand scale as to warrant so many bridge trips, but still, the bridges, they would be there.

It's clean and small, but not too small. It's green and all those things that made me think of it as Seattle-lite, but oh! it's clean!

It's kind of...cute. It wouldn't be such a bad place to live (There, I said it. Blasphemy!). It certainly won't be a bad place to visit a certain girl!

(We won't go into the reason a certain girl is moving there. Ha!)

We spent the fourth of July eating Chinese food and researching the Netherlands and Germany.

During the fireworks, people kept walking past and blocking my view, and I laughed each time one tripped over my feet. No, I did not move out of the way. I hate people.

Today I rode on a moto, and didn't fall off or otherwise harm myself. His mom outfitted me in at least half a cow's worth of leather, and a helmet that made me feel like a bobblehead. We went around the block and then to Safeway and back. It was okay. Not as bad as I'd made it out to be in my head.

We are thinking of moving to Holland. A few days ago we were thinking of moving to Germany. I guess the general idea is somewhere over thar. Sometime soon.

Я голодна как волк(ya golodna kak volk): I'm hungry, I'm starving.
Literally translated: I'm hungry like a wolf.

Hungry like the wolf?

The scale at cleopatraeyes's house says I've lost 6 pounds. Let's just say there's no such thing as variations between scales.

She is fancy, just graduated, and is cute, so hurrah for her.

My feet say hello to glop, who visited me from Olympia yesterday. Have you seen Iron Giant? I cried a lot, and not just misty eye corners like most sad movies.

Tonight I had good Thai food with my dear woojoegai. I like woojoegai. We rolled on my new bed, I giggled at her tan lines, and she showed me how to thread my sewing machine. WE SEWED ZIG ZAGS.

After the most boring and awful week in a year, this weekend was nice.

I want a kitty!

Should I wait until I get a new place (August 1st), or just get one now? I am thinking cats might not like to move after only knowing me for a month and a half. I don't want to traumatize the poor thing.
www.petfinder.com is taunting me with cute babies from Seattle shelters.
I've never had an indoor cat before, will it break all my stuff?

I have blue toes. Toenails, specifically. It matches the sweater I'm going to wear tomorrow. Someone once said that blue fingernail/toenail polish makes people look like cadavers. This person was Mormon.

I got my custom orthotics today. It's so amazing to have something under my feet, instead of a gaping cavern under my arch! My physical therapist (orthotic-maker, perhaps. I'm not receiving any actual therapy) is so friendly. Not just polite Seattle-y, but actually friendly, smiley, and pleasant, in a completely non-creepy way. It's kind of sad that I have to specify that he's friendly in a non-creepy way. But yes, just genuine pleasantness. And the whole staff is the same way! They joke, but not in that 'haha-but I'm actually demeaning you' way. I don't know why I'm so caught up on their staff, but every time I go in, it just catches me by surprise. It must be such a nice environment to work in, though I wonder if any of them secretly pine for anonymous cubicle work.

Tonight exboy and I watched Clockwork Orange and I told him Alex was really really hot. He told me guys with blonde hair are disgusting. He went on and on and made disgusted faces. Eventually it boiled down to 'guys with blonde hair look feminine'.

If I wasn't lazy I'd change this into a cute little story but instead you're getting dialogue.

Me: Waxing sounds SO fucking painful, but stubble aint fun.
Ben: Ehh.....nothing wrong with it
Me: I don't like how it feels
Ben: I say go with the Hitler Stash
Ben: Or an arrow
Ben: Pointing downward
Me: The arrow would be great for all those retards I fuck for charity

So, Rent is going to be a movie. I was SO EXCITED about this because I love that musical so much that I usually don't let myself listen to the soundtrack or I get out of control and listen to it constantly. So of course I was excited to read they are using almost all of the original cast. I saw though, that it said starring Rosario Dawson. FUCK. Mimi isn't the original Mimi. It's great that everyone else is going to be in it, but god dammit, Mimi's my favorite and while I'm sure Rosario Dawson is great and all, she isn't the same and AHHHHHHH. So of course I'll see it anyway and be pissed the entire time Rosario Dawson is onscreen.
PS I'm going to be so pissed when they edit La Vie Boheme or take it out completely to make the film suitable for the viewing public. You know they'll have to. To sodomy, it's between god & me, to S&M! HA. right, middle america.
