Festivus
First, let me say I miss Jill. She will love what I'm about to propose. *sigh*

I think we should all celebrate Festivus. Its from Seinfeld. The history is linked off the bottom of this entry so you can read and fully understand.

I think we should celebrate Festivus on January 8th. Thats Elvis's birthday. I think i read it on ohmeohmys journal... someone else suggested celebrating xmas on the kings bday. BUt i hate Xmas so i think we should celebrate Festivus instead.
(i love the king)

Let me explain...
Festivus has different parts..

One- Feats of Strength. For the Costanza's it was wrestling, BUT *I* think our feat of strength should be in drinking.
Shots of Stoli. Vanilla for me and most, but I know Boo likes Orange better. it doesnt matter what you take shots of as long as we do them all at once and see who can do the most without giving in (IE puking or passing out) Once the shots are done and the winner determined we will continue Feats of Strength with Twister. Im sure Jill or Chris will win drinking feats of strength, and micol will win Twister. But its all good.

Two - The Airing of Grievances

How much fun will that be???? After we are all fully wasted from our feats of strength, you go around and everyone gets to take turns telling eachother how they disappointed you that year, or just what pissed them off that year. It will be great@!!!! No one is allowed to get mad at eachother either. Its all in good fun. That can be our Festivus Miracle, no one getting mad at eachother!!

Ah.. festivus. Who wants to celebrate???!?!!?!? Please!! It will rule. I wish i had my apt so I could truely host it.

Oh and i forgot... instead of a tree you get a metal pole. I want to do this so bad. UGH.

Hello Livejournal land. I know I haven't posted in a while. Bad Galey. I do read though! At least once a week I catch up with all of you, well most of you. work eats my life and i dont have time to post before having to run out again.
Well, here are some pics of what I did this summer. i know i know its almost Christmas. Maybe in 2006 I'll be able to start posting regularly.
This Summer my oldest sister, Shaun, moved to Henderson NV. Its right outside Las Vegas. Erin and I went with them on the drive from Queens NY to Henderson. Here's a few pictures. West Virginia was creepy. We actually saw inbred people! I swear! Zion National Park in Utah was absolutely breath taking. The gun pictures are my favorite! The day after we got to Vegas, we shot guns and then went right over to catch the All Shook Up show at Elvis A Rama! Guns AND Elvis! You can only imagine my joy... or you can see it below!

pics pics pics! I'm trying this livejournal gallery thing. hope it works!

"When I'm good I'm very, very good but when I'm bad I'm better."
-Mae West

I so much fun on Sunday! Sorry if I was too drunk to have a real conversation with anyone. My low moment of the night was tossing that poor gay guy with the bad facial hair off the speaker. We had our dancing shoes on (well, i had no shoes on) and he was in the way. It was great seeing all of you its been too long! Motherfucker is such a fun night! NYC needs a permanent night like that.

[ music | NFG on channel 11 ]

The Cure is going to be on the Pepsi Smash concert tonight on channel 11 WB in nyc. They don't tell you what time each band is going on it will be sometime between 8 and 11. They did an interview with Fat Bob a few minutes ago and he looks awful. What happened to him? Anyway! Im obsessed and must go watch.

attention NYC shoppers- they are opening a Hot Topic in Queens Center. hooray!

my sister just snuck past me into the bathroom to get ready for bed. oooooo that pisses me off! i have to be up at 6:30am and she can sleep all day! grrrr now i have to waste time on here.

life has been much better lately. i am still flat broke but i dont care i strut right by with my tail in the air! the new kitten is so cute! i rush home to see her every day she is the cutest little baby. I think her name might have to get changed to Mischief tho. shes bad bad bad! she likes to chew on my elbows when im trying to sleep. I put my elbows under the covers and she goes for my nose! my perfect nose! doesn't she know that might mean death??? when i hide my face in the covers she eats my hair. I can't win. I don't want to let her run free in the house at night yet. The other cats in the house aren't happy with her.

the cats are trying to kill eachother i think. Lily, the one i don't like the most, she won't stop hissing at everyone I don't like Lily hissing. It scares the crap out of me! after the incident with the bad cat that attacked me I am a wuss! Lily also keeps attacking our other cat Angel. Angel and Lily have lived together for years! Lily shouldn't be attacking her. The kitten has caused much distress. Good thing I will be moving out soon and taking her with me!

ACK! Cats chasing eachother through the house and Lily is scary! bathroom is empty so im off to wash up and lock myself in my room!

[ mood | happy ]

HELLO! HELLO LIVEJOURNAL LAND! My parents didn't pay the cable bill again so I haven't had computer in a week or so. bah! money is evil.

ANYWAY!!!!

I GOT A KITTEN! SO CUTE! SO CUTE!!!!!!!

My little sister works at an animal hospital. someone had tied the kitty in a bag with a rope and dropped it out their car window outside her work! EVIL EVIL! How could they do that to her?? she has the sweetest face! and **6 TOES!**

I named her Crumb. little crumbcake. she gives me kisses! I think she might have been the runt. so tiny! I am taking lots of pictures and when I have more than 5$ I will develop them onto a disk for all to see! She looks like she should be in calenders haha i swear! Shes a tuxedo and when you lift her arms up and look at her belly the white on the black looks like a skeleton! so cute! aaaah!!!!!!!


ok now that i've made you all vomit on yourself..im off to play some Tony Hawk Underground yo.

[ mood | optimistic ]

busy day today. This morning I woke up and went to the doctor. Turns out I have a sinus infection. stupid broken nose. its the Z pack for me! Must remember to drink some yogurt smoothies or i will be very unhappy in a few days. :/

At 1 today I have a meeting with the new district manager at Hot Topic. We are going to discuss me being the store manager of the Hot Topic in White Plains. I think that it might be a good idea because I could more than likely live in NYC and commute up to White Plains. I need to look at it on a map and figure out if mass transit would get me there from NYC. The twins [info]monette and [info]mehnea used to take the bus up there if I am remembering correctly. We shall see what happens. Off to work directly after my meeting with the Hot Topic DM. I won't be home til well after 11pm. feh!

I interviewed with Pacific Sunwear this past Thursday. It went really well and I spoke to their District Manager this morning. She called me while I was in the doctors office hehe. She said she is going to call me in a day or so. PacSun seems to be the way for me to go. They are going to be opening a new store in Queens Center. It is scheduled to open in July. The DM said that if I am performing well that it wouldn't be a problem for me to transfer to that store.

The plate is full. PacSun seems to be the better option. I dont really want to leave Hot Topic, but I want to be able to move to NYC by the summer. August at the very latest. PacSun would be the easiest location to commute to within the city and I would have benefits from them. That is my #1 priority. I never had benefits before working at Hot Topic and I la la la love them! Its amazing to be able to go to the doctor when you are sick and not worry about paying 75$ and prescription costs on top of that. What a concept! With my stomach I can't afford to live without them. Most places in NYC i would work at don't have benefits. thats what has been holding me back, oh yea that and my dependent family. feh!

good things seem to be in the works! My sister has already started sending me roommate needed ads she gets from her CUNY elist. Between her and [info]jillyfishie I should have no problem with the real estate. ;)

long ranting/venting [12 Apr 2004|07:28pm]
[ mood | depressed ]

today is a emotional day for me. I went out for a little while to see my friend Kelly at her tattoo shop. We talked about her finishing the tattoo on my back. She's going to draw a few things up for me to decide which i like best. Since shes my friend she is going to give me a break on the price. we're going to do small bits here and there so i don't have to worry about putting out alot of $ at one time. Being social only lasted an hour or 2 and I came home to return to my pjs.
I'm depressed and can't stop shoving crap in my face. I wish I was one of those people who loses their appetite when they are sad. Damn the easter bunny for bringing me so many peanut butter eggs. DAMN YOU EASTER BUNNY!
My sister went away to a bed and breakfast for 2 days with her new man. I am all alone and there is nothing good on TV tonight. I refuse to watch that Swan show on Fox. I will resist the temptations, but its like a carcrash. About a month ago, I was on my way to work and there was a lunch truck turned over in the middle of the highway. There was food thrown across the left lane. It appeared that no one was hurt and I couldn't help rubbernecking with the rest of the sheep. I have no new books to read and have read the ones i have too many times. I could go out and buy a new one, but my pajamas are becoming one with my skin.

Its weird how joey died 4 years ago. to think about that is just mind boggling to me. I think about him everyday and I don't get sad like I used to. Someone told me once that it takes 3 years for you to accept the loss of a loved one. I guess I accepted it and didn't even realize. I looked back at the entry I wrote last year around this time, I am a different person. In it I put goals from a book I was reading about coping with grief. The book said that in order to learn to cope with losing them we need to find what they gave us and learn to give it to ourselves.
Here they are-

I need to learn to love myself unconditionally.
I need to learn how to not be afraid of being myself.
I need to learn how to live everyday like it could be my last.

I don't know if I've achieved any of them, but the pull inside has stopped being so strong and I'm learning to not be scared of getting close to people again. I hold back from relationships, friend or otherwise, because i'm scared of losing someone and feeling that pain. i know that sounds stupid. the reality is that joey was the only person in the world who knew everything about me. all of my dreams and all my dirty little secrets. i trusted him with my life and he trusted me with his. sometimes i feel like i let him down that night at cbs. i wish i hadn't been so drunk and could have told the doctors more information. the drs told his parents that if i hadn't been with him that he would have died when he got to the hospital. his heart stopped and if they hadn't know about his condition they wouldn't have been able to revive him even if it was only for a few days.

im stopping this post because im going on and on and making myself feel insane. tomorrow is a new day.

i dont want it wish it was over [22 Mar 2004|11:51am]
[ mood | nauseated ]
[ music | my teeth chattering - i cant stop shaking! ]

this hangover is killing me! i used to never get hung over and now its awful everytime i drink. Last night [info]chisaiboo, [info]jillyfishie, [info]blackbean and I went bar hoppin in the slope. Little Ewan is so cute! I was surprised that we had no trouble taking him into the bars. We made our rounds and ended up at Lucky 13 Saloon I passed out on the couch with ewan. when I woke up Boo had taken Ewan home and i dont remember her taking the leash away. I must have been out cold.

Im so fucking sick now. Ive been shakin like a crackhead all day and i don't think i have anything left to throw up :( my stomach is so weak I shouldn't even be drinking to begin with. serves me right.

in other news- in a few months (im aiming for June) I should be able to move without a problem! Hooray! I can't wait to get out of here.

my sleep was interrupted this morning. i hate being woken up. sleeeeeeeeeeeeep. my little sister is fighting with my dad. shut up ya bastards!
i dont want to go to work today. maybe ill set the store on fire. ill dance around the flames! burn it all burn it to the ground! if i did that i would have to flee to mexico and that wouldn't be good. i don't speak spanish id end up dead in an hour.
my sister has been trying to convince me to move to san diego with her. My parents should be financially stable in a month or two. I want to run away so badly and california seems far enough. I could learn how to surf and start saying things like "woah!", "far out", and "duuuuuuuuuuuuuude". it would be fun! we could take bets on how long it took until I was arrested for assault or murder charges!
beach blanket bingo!

[ mood | drained ]

it keeps spinning and never stops. so busy. the world is full of insanity.

my sister is sick. they took out her gal bladder and found out she has a growth inside her. they aren't sure what its attached to so she needs yet another test. this has been going on for 2 months now. i hate doctors.

work is a bad place. my new manager is a mother fucker. the other assistant sexually harassed me and managed to keep his job. he told me - my balls your chin, you do the math. charming huh? thats just like saying he was going to put his dick in my mouth. i want to smash peoples faces in.

im starting a second job in 2 weeks. i need to get the fuck out of here. $=escape im going to work at starbucks 15-20 hours a week. 14 hour days here i come!

i really need to win the lottery... or buy a gun.

[ music | The Postal Service ]

once again i am posting after weeks of nothing. fun!

This weekend was so much fun! [info]sevensomething drove [info]jillyfishie, [info]evolemi, [info]darenzia, [info]bitzar, and me out to long island for CHEESECAKE FACTORY! Hooray! We stuffed our faces and went shopping. Who could ask for more?
Later that night [info]jillyfishie and I met [info]darenzia and [info]bitzar for a few drinkies. We played pool until some hoodrats came along to ruin the fun. I think we should plan a billiards night. Are there pool halls in the city you can drink in?

Sunday I became a real estate agent with jillita! We saw some fabulous places that no one I know could really afford without living on ramen for the rest of their lives. But OH the decorating we saw! heh After running around (we saw 8 apts in 2 hours!), we headed out to Lucky 13 Saloon. All you Manhattan people need to stop being lazy and get your asses out there! It is amazing to be somewhere your friends own. The cab ride is cheap if you split it (like 10$ roundtrip). There are nights I spent more on cabs while staying in Manhattan! If you're going out drinking why not give your money to your friends? There is this great english restaurant right by the bar called Chips. mmmm Mac and cheese over mushroom goodness!

Home in NJ now and trying to find a new job. bah! Why can't I win the lottery already? i would have a fabulous bathroom in Gramercy if I did!
