Happy Birthday Kristina!

Ken gave it to me last night when we got home from the club. I took a bunch of pics before deciding my skunk made a much better model than my hand. We haven't set a date or anything like that, though whenever we do, it will probably be something very very very small, since I'm going to want to pay half, but am living on student loans. We can have a big one when I'm out of law school and have paid down my loans.

The only thing is that it's just a little too big...Ken wants to take it to a jeweler and get the inside modified with ridges or what have you, I'm thinking I'll just get a plastic band or something to wear under it so it doesn't fall off.

Happy National Sammich Month everyone!

Happy Birthdei hybrid_xisha!

Truffle the size of your head to give you, but Happy Birthday to The Chrys anyway!

Hope it's awesome!

You should get to know this girl.

Have you seen this jacket? Ken used to own one, and I'd like to find it for him. TOP SECRET

First of all, since Valentine's is coming up, I'd like to share my thoughts on that, and get yours. I've gone back and forth over the years on how I feel about it. I used to have serious issues with the commercial aspect of it, thinking that anything I did would just be seen as forced. I've settled on that it's not a holiday for me to feel obligated to do nice things for my man, but instead an opportunity for it.

Amy J. got me thinking about this a while back, when her bf at the time mentioned that he didn't want to be told to buy her flowers on this specific day, that it took away the meaning of when he did it normally. Not one to be fooled Amy's response was to ask how often in the last year he had bought her flowers (since he didn't need to be told to). Um...never?

I don't understand people who get upset that they have to buy flowers or chocolates, or drop a fuckload of money for dinner out - you don't want to do that? No problem. Make dinner at home. Make a mix CD. Bake something or make dinner for them at home. How much you spend has nothing to do with the value of what you give.


Secondly, I'm a muppet!

You Are Animal

A complete lunatic, you're operating on 100% animal instincts. You thrive on uncontrolled energy, and you're downright scary. But you sure can beat a good drum. "Kill! Kill!"

I was really shocked at this result, since I thought for sure, based on the available responses and ones I gave, that I would be Kermit or Fozzie. Whatev.

Last, but not least, I'm attending a service for an acquaintance of mine this Friday. This is very very very unlike me.

How fucking much I love the song "I'm The One" by Laid. It is just one giant audio hug, and y'all know how I hug.
As far as I'm aware, it's only on the MasterCuts CD Funky House. It took me forever to find the album, and I still haven't listened to any of the tracks but that one, but you can hear a little here: http://www.pandora.com/music/song/laid/im+1.

Mostly from my friends.

1) Kate Nash almost made me cry last night. Or maybe it was the director of her video for "Foundations". Either way. I forgive her, though, because I love her ABSURDLY THICK ACCENT.

2) I just applied to law school.

No, not the kind on a yaoi site. Instead, the kind that can either make you laugh, make your head explode, or a little of both!

Edit/warning: I just read more of them. They may bring your good day to a screeching halt.

I think that's kind of awesome. I'm a big fan of volunteering, and if you can make everyone's day a little more surreal in the process, even better.

Kind of reminds me of the Wetland Avenger. :-D

I was pretty down last week. Nothing happened, I was just down about life in general. Anyway, the important part is that I've had a rawkin' weekend, and am feeling much MUCH better. :-D

On an unrelated side note, I don't think I'm going to be posting as much. Just a brief update, as opposed to a detailed play-by-play. :-D

Work was super busy yesterday, as Mondays tend to be, and while there was certainly enough work to justify OT, the manager strangely did not approve it. Whatev. I went down to Cost Plus, but they didn't have what I was looking for, and then just hung out in front of the studio with Karla until the rest of the cast got there to shoot "The Dirty Dirty Durwood Show". Shoot went well, and I got home about 8. No Ken, and no note. I keep forgetting to tell him that I'd like him to leave a note, but I was hungry and cranky, so instead I waited about 30 min. and called. He was at The Loft with David, but was going to head over to The Caliph. I almost tapped out, but I'm glad I went. The singer there is outstanding, and Marcus showed up! It was a decent time, though we stayed a little long. Got home around 11:30, and even though my body was tired, my mind was still racing. Ken was upset to find out that I had taken a Xanax the night before, much less that I wanted one now. He'd had a GOD AWFUL day at work, so that one tiny thing ballooned into a HUGE fight that spanned several topics. Not a bad thing, in my opinion - clears the air. Except that I had trouble getting words in edgewise, so it's not really two-way communication. I hadn't had much to drink (2 Long Islands over the course of 4 hours), but I was just tipsy enough to not give so much as an inch, even on things I knew were petty. Eventually, I sobered enough to stop being so combative (which for me means keeping silent instead of retorting...mmmmm..torte.....), and things calmed down. Got a good night's sleep, at any rate.

Oh, yeah. I took this meme a few days ago. Fairly accurate, for a meme.

Yesterday was probably the worst day of my life. It certainly has been so far, and I don't really want to imagine a worse one. That's all you're going to get.

Now seems like a good time for this (ganked from Anthony):

The Thankful List (I'm keeping mine down to 10)

1) For my Ken. Pretty much just repeat this one a ba-jillion times, then proceed to 2).

2) That there are some decisions I never had to make.

3) That I have the ability to live well beneath my means, and that my job pays me well enough that it's an option, not a requirement.

4) That my man knows, and I am learning, how to cook.

5) That I get along well with my roommates - current and past.

6) That I got my degree in Dance, enjoyed it while it lasted, even made some money at it, and knew when to move on.

7) That the weather is getting cooler, making it easier to snuggle.

8) That California has the option of Domestic Partnership.

9) For my sense of humor.

10) For vegan treats.

Happy Birthday Kristina!
