Just got home from the city library downtown. As frustrating as their library system is, the building itself is incrediably lovely, which is why I take the train 20 minutes downtown instead of walking to the local branch on Belmont. It's like the synthesis of temple and museum; it smells like knowledge & time. I re-checked out "The Gods Are Thirsty" by Tanith Lee, a novel about the French Revolution; two books by Bruce Sterling [an author recently recommended to me], "Heavy Weather" [a novel] and "A Good Old-fashioned Future" [a collection of short stories]; and finally two old favourites of mine by the phantasmal and magnificent Neil Gaiman, "American Gods" and "Good Omens" [written with Terry Pratchett].
Afterwards, I stopped by Dominick's to pick up some travel necessities : sugar-free RedBull, bottled water, Dentyne Ice gum, and Nature Valley granola bars [the uber decadent ones dipped in yogurt]. ^_^
Need to clean some and do my hair tonight. I'll most likely procrastinate & pack tomorrow. My train to Grand Rapids leaves at 5:20pm.
I need to find someone to feed my cats when I'm gone....Seth is in New Jersey for a week or something. **sigh** |

Watching movies on AMC this morning & napping some....I was watching "The Innocents" starring Deborah Kerr, and fell asleep during most of it only to awake to be really confused about the ending. There was a lot of screaming and it seemed creepy....was it ghosts? black magic? All I can do is speculate. Now I'll have to watch it again, or it will bother me. [edit: I looked it up to see if it would be on again, and while it seems not the movie summary did state "A Victorian governess fears a boy and girl have been possessed by a dead couple." So, at least now I know....and was fairly close in my assumption also.]
Currently "The Boston Strangler" is on, which somehow I haven't yet seen although I have read a few books about Albert DeSalvo when I was in the midst of reading a lot of true crime a few years ago. I'm only half watching it, since I'm typing this.
Planning on going to Naperville later today, if I get ahold of Kara so I can ask her manager's name and go apply to werk there. If not, then I'll go tomorrow. Whichever day I end up not going, I'm going to go to the downtown library since my books are due on the ninth. In the midst of a biography of the 16th century Venetian courtesan, poet, & writer Veronica Franco [the movie "Dangerous Beauty" starring Catherine McCormick & Rufus Sewell was about her], so I'll have to recheck that out, as well as "Satyrica" by Pertronius and "The Gods Are Thirsty" by Tanith Lee. Most likely I'll pick up more books on Venice and on architecture, particularly Art Nouveau & Art Deco. Possibly some astronomy, as well....I'll just see what catches my fancy. ^_^
....now, back to the movie. |

Well, I am in much better spirits than this morning. I got some rest [here and there..], watched some movies....even finally ate some food. Talked to Amy on the phone for a loooong time, which always improves my disposition. Guess what! She's gonna move here to Chicago in a year! ::SOOOO HAPPY!!:: The mamas gotta be in the same place....it multiplies our supertwin powers. ^_~
I actually found my keys, later in the day, underneath my bed [no idea how they got there..], but found something else missing....my CHECKBOOK!! >_< ..grrrr! I don't know if I lost it or if it was stolen? Either way I need to call my bank tomorrow. Pfft.
Forgot if I mentioned it earlier or not....my writer's block is now gone. Thank the gods. ^_^ |

I painted my fingernails....I painted my toenails....I shaved....stuff....I need to go out!
It's seeming like I'm not gonna get any love tonight....or anything else for that matter. So, I might as well at least go out & be mean to all the guys who hit on me. I'm considering firewerks as a second option. Free things are good. If I have to go out & not know how to get home....so be it. I need to get out of this fucking apt. even if I have to go out by myself. GRRRR.. |

Well, I really didn't have that bad of a night, all things considered. Talked on the phone with Kara and talked on AIM with Jeci, had 4 shots of vodka, then fell asleep watching movies. Possibly going out tonight, still waiting to hear back about that, so we'll see..
Thankfully the weather isn't too bad today, not as hot/humid as yesterday, so I'll finally be able to get my much needed housewerk done this afternoon/evening. I already washed half the dirty dishes, but still need to vacuum & mop. Ooh, and wash a load of laundry....although I don't have enough money to dry it. Good thing I have a wooden clothes drying rack. ^_^
For now....I'm finishing up the novel I meant to finish the other day, so I can start on "Virtual Light" which I'm borrowing since I bought "Mona Lisa Overdrive" earlier in the week. |

Last night was uber fun. Kara got here around midnight & we hung out @ my apt. for awhile, then walked to a coffeeshop near Underground [I have no idea what it was called....wasn't paying attention] & drank giant cups of espresso. Ran into Matt, the bartender @ Underground. It's nice that I'm starting to get to know more people here. Once I get a job & go out more, I'll be as busy as I'm used to being and be therefore more content. Right now I have too much free time, a lot more than I typically do.
Planning on hanging out with Kara again tonight, probably going to Underground. I'm so glad I met her, I have so few female friends anyway, and she & I got along immediately. She's extrememly intelligent and we're soooo alike. ^_^
I need to fix up the legwarmers I bought the other day, since they are too narrow at the ankle to go over my New Rocks. I'm going to have to open an outside seam, and I'm thinking of adding pinstripe bondage straps that I took off a pair of pants I have.
I tightened some of my dreads that were getting loose & added a few lime green dreads as well, so my hair matches my dreadfall perfectly now. Took me less than an hour, even. I think I'm starting to get the hang of braiding stuff into my hair and they look really good especially considering that it's my first attempt. I'll post pics of the improvments later tonight or tomorrow before the DJ? Acucrack show. ^_^ |

Today I'm feeling....very unfocused....sort of half awake....half dissolving....or we can just call it "situational anxiety"....or maybe make an analogy to the ol' flower-petal game of "he loves me, he loves me not"....
**actually considers walking around her neighbourhood neurotically plucking innocent flowers to pieces**
....where does one draw the line with showing interest and seeming overwhelming or desperate or something? I'm not used to having to express such things....and I don't quite know how to do so or where to begin.
I've always fathomed myself rather brave, and it seems as though others thought so as well. I moved out on my own when I was sixteen....I recently moved by myself to a city where I knew no one....I've been homeless & staving....I've overcome addiction....I've overcome a lot of shite & come out of it stronger and more resilent.
Yet, I unexpectedly meet someone whom I have become increasingly fond of and would like to pursue a more serious, exclusive relationship with....and all my usual confidence just evaporates and leaves me vulnerable & at a loss.
Perhaps that's the real issue here....fear of vulnerability. [Not that determining this much resolves anything....]
Aside from this, I am looking forward to meeting Kara for coffee tonight. I have very few female friends, and she seems like an absolute doll & we have tons of things in common. |

Wow....today has been....wow....quite a day. I met an uber awesome girl, Kara, who not only knows some of my friends here in Chicago, but knows my friends in Pittsburg too. It's uncanny! Normally I hate talking on the phone, but we were on the phone for over an hour, talking about all kinds of things. I can't wait to meet her for coffee tomorrow. ^_^
Right after I met her this morning, my phone rang [which it doesn't do much during the day] and it was my friend Josh from Grand Rapids. He was in Chicago, and I had totally forgotten that I'd told him he could stay here since he had to appear in court on September 1st. And when he got here, he had brought a surprise with him....my old friend Alex, whom I've known since I was 16 and hadn't seen in ages other than running into him for a few minutes at a bar, just before I moved. So, since I needed to go to Halo Salon & put in an application for a receptionist job, we walked around the Belmont/Clark area for awhile. Josh got a couple tattoos @ the Chicago Tattoo & Piercing Co. and we went to the Alley & Belmont Army Surplus & stuff, then went out to eat @ The Emerald City [which has the BEST falafel in TOWN, no exaggeration]. Stopped by the "Rare/medium/well done" used bookshop on the way back. I got "Mona Lisa Overdrive" by William Gibson & "The Princess Bride" by William Golding, both for $2 each. ^_^ Then we came back to my apt. & watched comedy central....and I folded laundry & washed dishes. Now they sleep. Aw.
The stray kitty that's been coming up on the landing of the back stairs and sitting at my kitchen door talking to my cats is here again. I put out some food & water for it. I've gotten to like the cute lil thing, it's white & black, with unusual markings. I'm just kind of worried that it might have fleas or a disease & make my kitties sick. Right now it's eaten all the food [I bet it's not used to $20 a bag food & Brita filtered water! hehe] and is just laying down on the other side of the landing. It seems a little nervous, it ran all the way down to the sidewalk when I came out to put the food & water out for it, but it came back about 30 seconds later. As cautious as I'm trying to be in regards to the health of my cats, I know I'm going to eventually take it in and tame it. I've already been thinking of names for it. I just hope it's a girl, since neither of my cats are spayed. My plan is to shut my kitties in the bathroom, and lure it in with food, then hopefully it will let me check it out a little so I can determine it's gender and see if it has fleas or any visible signs of sickness. That's about the best I can do, since I can't afford to take it to a vet right now. If I can get it to come in a few times like that & get to trust me, hopefully it could adapt to my cats also. They seem to be okay with each other through the screen door, after all. Maybe it would teach my kitties to use the nice clawing posts I have! Ha!
I think I'm gonna take some ibuprofen, the run a bath & read for awhile so I don't disturb the sleeping boys. |

You have Ebola
 How you get it: Contact with infected person or other carrier. Due to the quick and destructive power of ebola, it's believed that there is a yet undiscovered ebola resistant carrier animal that is responsible for the occasional outbreaks.
Incubation period: 3 weeks
Early symptoms: headache, weakness, and muscle aches
Symptoms at full disease onset: vomiting, abdominal maladies, throat and eye inflammation, bleeding from body openings
Final outcome of this horrible disease: Destruction of internal tissues through rapid viral replication, blood loses the ability to clot and you die from extreme internal hemorrhaging. To the outside world, it looks as though your insides have liquified and are pouring out your various holes.
There is nothing you can do now but wait for death to arrive and hope it comes quickly. Make your peace.

It's not far to walk & I love animals. I have a few more places to go into & call tomorrow, as well. Hopefully I get a decent paying job soon.
I'm looking forward to the DJ? Acucrack show this Friday @ the Metro. Other than that, I don't have much planned yet this week other than the continued job search.
Here are some cam pics I took last night of my new hair. Better ones to come, later on this week.

Well, I haven't gotten dolled up and gone out in what's seemed like ages. So, I braided some black & dark purple synth dreads into the front of my hair, made a matching dreadfall w/ lime green accents, and went out to the Underground Lounge. Good music of course, since Jamie was DJing....well, except all the Pixies songs one guy kept requesting. [YAWN] Basically drank, smoked, talked to people. Went to Smartbar afterwards for a lil while....apparently I was a bit more drunk than I thought, since I couldn't find the way out of the bathroom there. [ROFL] Thank the gods for cell phones and heroic friends who rescue me & don't laugh too long at my drunken silliness. Got mexican food at the same place as before, two steak tacos w/ everything....I think. Sort of remember eating one of them. [HEH] At some point I even managed to sleep comfortably, imagine that.
Spent most of today watching movies on AMC or reading, while rehydrating. I'm still in my pajamas. That's right. You can suck it bitch. ^_^

Well, the week is finally over. Such a relief, you could not know. Nor do I care to explain further than that.
On the other hand, there is always a new batch of things to drive me to distraction. Possibly reading erotica & porn isn't helping the sexual deprivation much. **grrrrs**
Every situation has some faulty aspect to it....something that is too much or not enough, but still I don't find enough reason to just give it up. Perhaps I'm imagining too much in my head and getting a bit ahead of reality.. or maybe I'm just trying to be hopeful that something will werk out the way I'd like it to instead of deeming it unlikey/impossible with my usual amount of cynicism.

Yesterday was a fairly pleasant and productive day, regardless of sleeping restlessly. I redyed my hair [blue black] and managed to miss a spot on the left side. Bah.. so now I have to buy another box of dye @ Ulta and fix it before I can braid any stuff into my hair. Good thing this stuff is on sale. I went back to Dominick's last night since I was CRAVING this new con queso dip they have. Um.. I stayed up watching comedy central & ate the whole thing.. it wasn't very big though! >_< I ran out of tortilla chips, so I switched to Wheat Thins. Their new slogan should be, "Wheat Thins.. they put the crack in crackers." Campbell's Chunky soup was on sale uber cheap, so I got a couple cans of that. Perfect for today, since it's rainy & cool out. Mmm.. new england clam chowder or chicken broccoli potato?
I need to do laundry today, especially towels. I am now using my huge beach towel with a tiger face on it. LOL. It's the khoulest bath towel that has never been to a beach. Then again I bought a new swimsuit last year and that's never seen a beach either. BUT, I have worn it in the bathtub more than once....just because. ^_~
Wow, about half a dozen cars outside my window got traffic tickets [which aren't cheap here] for parking on the north side of the street on Streetsweeping Day. It's not like it hasn't been posted all over the damn place for almost a week, on day-glow orange posters. Morons. Now the street will be dirty in front of half my apt! ..jerks. I should watch their cars & when they finally go to move them and start to cry when they see how much the ticket is, I'll go hand them a broom and tell them to get to werk! I mean c'mon. It's posted every 20 feet down every street in the neighbourhood. Are their heads in their asses or are they illiterate? I don't want to live on a dirty street.. ;_;
I need coffee, I'm cranky.. anyone wanna fight? ^_^ |

Saw your profile - thought you might be interested in checking out: http://www.worldsocialism.org/usa/
You might also be interested to hear the case for socialism via bit torrent files of Socialist meetings that are at the website www.suprnova.org website - look in the misc section, sub-section other for the following recordings:
'Why Socialism Is Still Relevant'
'Martov and the Anti-Bolshevik Approach To Revolution'
"Either this capitalist system goes or I do" - Oscar Wilde's last words on his sunbed.
-----------------------------------------------------
SUBJECT: RE: INSIGHT TO INCITE
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. No. I am by far, NOT a socialist, nor have I any interest in becoming one at any time. I love capitalism, and if I can make money off morons, I'm more than happy to do so. Equality is a farce. Some people have the intelligence and ambition to succeed over others. Some people are meant to scrub toilets their entire life, and if they don't have the drive to achieve anything greater, they deserve their lot. I have read the works of Marx & Engel and I highly disagree with them. Fuck socialism.
If you are so fond of socialist principles, why don't you learn Cantonese and move to China? Oh, yes.. socialism doesn't value the rights of the individual over the greater good of all. Probably wouldn't like losing those nice civil liberties, eh?
And btw, Oscar Wilde's last words were "Either that wallpaper goes or I do". Perverting the quote of a renowned author? Bad move.
