[Sep. 6th, 2005|12:23 am] |
I know I've been bitching, but I have no real right to do so after HK. I really felt guilty even eating dinner the other night knowing that people didn't have food or homes. I cried myself to sleep a couple nights because I felt so helpless.
I can't even imagine.
So everyone give what you can give, and hope for the best.
I'll shut up now. |

| I'm Addicted |
[Sep. 5th, 2005|08:48 pm] |
I'm addicted to work, and to the fact that it validates my existence, even though I'd give anything to not have to go back again tomorrow.
I'm addicted to my boyfriend, and to the fact that through him, I have a whole family again.
I'm addicted to my solitude, since I can do whatever I want when I'm alone.
I'm addicted to my independence, as long as i'm not required to be independent all by myself.
I'm addicted to my memories, since they're always sweeter.
I'm addicted to other people needing me, because I'm always trying to be useful.
I sound like an Oprah episode.
Ugh. |

| some more bored |
[Jun. 23rd, 2004|12:14 pm] |
i'm working on getting back in touch with everyone i've neglected for the past six months or so. this isn't really very easy, since i'm worried that most of you are angry with me for not returning phone calls and not going anywhere or doing anything social. i'm not even going to try to make an excuse...i've just been a hermit.
i've been with mark now for six months and everything is still going very well. i'm insanely happy...so happy that sometimes i sit across from him at the dinner table and just smile, because the only thing i can think to say is, "i'm so happy." it's sickening really, so i'll stop talking about it now. i'd probably lose more friends babbling about mark than i would if i just stayed out of touch.
work is great. i'm still helping pull teeth, and no matter how nice i am, people still don't want to come back again to see me. the boss, both receptionists and the implant coordinator are all on vacation this week, so i'm here alone with one other assistant answering phones and watching game shows. and trying to figure out the wallpaper strategy.
dad is still living in dahlonega, but he says he'll move back to illinois as soon as he sells his trailer. he's been very depressed since january, but some of his old friends came to visit and that lifted his spirits some.
i'm still living in the same place and will be until at least next april, so start planning halloween costumes now!
so i hope all is well with all of you, and i hope to hear from/see you soon. |

| holy crap...bored |
[Jun. 23rd, 2004|10:59 am] |
so i'm sitting at work right now, answering phones and watching the little man hang wallpaper. it's sort of mesmerizing...i don't see how he does it without the seams showing. crazy.
so ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) shatteress, i talked to enrougeetnoir about saturday night, and i will definitely be there...if i'm still invited. |

[Apr. 12th, 2004|10:24 pm] |
I got this in an email from my friend Leila...do it!
Try this soon, before Google gets wise:
1) Go to Google.com. Google
2) Type in (but don't hit enter): "weapons of mass destruction".
3) Hit the "I'm feeling lucky" button, instead of the normal "Google search" button.
4) READ CAREFULLY what appears to be a normal ERROR message. Make sure
you read the whole error message. Someone at Google apparently has a sense of humor.
Read whatever pops up.....even if it says error!!!!!!
(BTW.. in case you are wondering, after you read the
above error message, the answer is .. NO, I haven't
switched sides. I still thought it was funny. Have a nice
day.) |

i have this great new boyfriend thing still going on (4 months now), but i miss all my friends. i never thought i was one of those people who gets in a relationship and loses touch with the outside world, but it seems i have become THAT GIRL. just evil...i don't return phone calls, i don't go anywhere without him, all that. i feel soooo guilty.
but no for much longer...soon, i will lose my title of "bad friend."
i'll reconnect.
i just hope i haven't lost touch for too long... |

shatteress, i can't download the phone posts dammit.
ionno, i still need to see photographic evidence that saturday night really happened.
i have five whole days off. after getting up every day at 5:30am this is a most welcomed break, but i'm a little afraid i'll get bored.
now i'm going to bed and not getting up until tomorrow afternoon. |
|

| ok people, let me know what to do this weekend! |

i was thinking i might have plans this weekend, but somebody isn't having his "stress-relief" night tonight and another certain someone isn't sure about a pyro-party tomorrow night. so i'm sitting in my pajamas until one of you calls or writes me to do something...or until i end up hanging out on sacha's couch with his mom watching "what not to wear." whichever comes first.
if not this weekend then perhaps another, but we have to do it sometime. i just want to do something fun this weekend with you guys!
i went to my office christmas party today at bahama breeze, and i can honestly say that i haven't been that drunk at 3 in the afternoon ever before. but we all kind of bonded. AND i got a free lunch, unlimited drinks and $300 out of the deal. i really do love my job.
and why do people have babies? is it completely selfish, or is there another plausible objective to it? i was listening to the women i work with talk about their kids and how they had had one of each but would've liked another boy, or how once they had had one they felt they needed another. i understand that the propagation of the species is important and all, but it seems that when people get bored with their lives they just arbitrarily decide to bring someone else into it, and what better way to acquire a person than to make one of your own? is childbirth a privilege, a right or a sociological/biological duty? not that it has any impact on anything at all...i've just been wondering about it.
no, i don't have logical trains of thought, but that's what keeps me entertained a great deal of the time. |

[Dec. 15th, 2003|11:16 pm] |
leaving sacha's house tonight i looked up at the stars and thought about how much i took them for granted when i was living out in the boonies and away from all the city lights. now i want to go camping, or lay on top of a trampoline in the snow, or sit on the car somewhere up in suches making up constellations...or maybe have a big-ass party fire at one of my friends' houses.
*HINT*
but i have to be up at 5:30 in the morning, so i should sleep. or at least make an effort to. |

i remember getting these at the skating rink when i was little and making necklaces out of them--as i enter this i'm sitting with 5 guys reading over my shoulder taking notes.
The Associated Press
Updated: 8:06 p.m. ET Dec. 10, 2003
CHICAGO - Orange, red, blue, black — they’re just thin, rubbery bracelets that come in a rainbow of colors, but they’re causing quite a stir.
First made popular by Madonna and other pop stars in the 1980s, “jelly bracelets” are making a comeback with teens and some grade-school kids. But this time, there’s a twist: In some parts of the country, they’re calling them “sex bracelets” — with various colors supposedly representing promises to perform sex acts in a game called “Snap.”
As the story goes, break someone’s orange bracelet (or purple, in some cases) and you get a kiss. Red, a lap dance. Blue, oral sex. Black, intercourse. And so on.
“They’ve been selling like crazy,” says Andy Ball, a clerk at The Alley, an edgy clothing and accessories store in Chicago. He says he learned about their secret meaning from a group of teens who came into the store about a month ago.
Still, it’s unclear whether young people are really following through with the sex acts. And some experts think most youth are hearing about the game from recent news reports, not each other.
Snopes.com, a Web site dedicated to exposing urban legends, has deemed the validity of sex bracelets “undetermined.”
“Every now and then, I get a note from kids who say it is true,” says Barbara Mikkelson, Snopes.com’s co-founder. “But I get a heck of a lot of e-mails from kids who are outraged that adults think they would do this. To them, (the bracelets) are just a fashion statement.”
so then i looked this up--
Sex Bracelets Color Code
What do sex bracelet colors stand for?
Note: The VAST MAJORITY of people who wear jelly bracelets do not consider them "sex bracelets". The idea that middle schoolers are wearing jelly bracelets and having sex is, as far as we can tell, a media myth. Sex bracelets are something used and enjoyed by adults.
The color code for sex bracelets seems to vary according to location; purple may mean anal sex in one city and holding hands in another. We've listed some of the most common meanings for sex bracelet colors, submitted from sources across the U.S. Possible alternate meanings are listed in parentheses. If you have doubts about what a color means, ask someone who's wearing sex bracelets in your local area.
The one thing that everyone seems to agree upon is that the color black = sexual intercourse
Black: sexual intercourse
Blue: blow job (alternate meaning: lap dance)
Green: cunnilingus (alternate meaning: outdoor sex, hug)
Clear: whatever you want (alternate meaning: hug)
Orange: kiss
Yellow: hug (alternate meaning: analingus)
Red: lap dance (alternate meaning: French kiss, oral sex)
Purple: anal sex (alternate meaning: holding hands, doggy style)
Silver: fisting
White: flash your tits (alternate meaning: gay kiss, French kiss)
Pink: flashing
Gold glitter: make out
Brown: toss my salad, i.e., analingus
Glow in the dark: using sex toys, e.g. vibrators, dildos, etc. |

it's odd...when i don't have anything to worry or obsess about i feel like something is wrong. i was just sitting here checking my email and i realized that my life is actually kind of ok right now. i get paid tomorrow and can do all my christmas shopping and pay my bills on time, my parents are doing pretty well, i'm going to the festival of trees with my sister in about an hour and i don't have to be at work tomorrow until 7:45. i'm beginning to wonder if this is the calm before the storm.
i had a nice and stress-free weekend, except that i felt like ass all day yesterday because i drank friday night...and i didn't even really get drunk! i only had one shot and one and a half mixed drinks, but my body is trying to let me know that i'm getting old. i didn't have anything to do yesterday so i just laid around and took lots of ibuprofen. the only other small flaw in the last week was an email from someone on ebay asking where their stuff is, and the truth is that i work from 7:30 to 5:30 and all of these shipping places are only open from 9-5. i would've done it on friday but we had an emergency come in and i couldn't really skip out. i'm a little worried that i'll have to sneak out of work tomorrow to go mail things, but I can't help it. i don't have anyone who can mail them for me.
the one thing that could be improved right now is the boyfriend situation, or the lack thereof, but it isn't a huge deal. maybe i'll get one for christmas. i honestly don't know why i've been like this recently, but i think it's probably the weather.
yeah...weather. |

i found out last night that placebo is on wednesday and it's $20. i'm totally willing to spend that, but i found out that my roommate, who doesn't even know what he's going to, is going for free because he's dating the marketing manager for emi records. i am so, so pissed. now i don't want to pay for something that i actually appreciate when someone who doesn't give a rat's ass and who is going to HATE every second of it gets to go for FREE. he could at least say, "hey, kristin really likes this band, can you put her on the list too?" but no.
if i were smart i would keep my money and not be tired as hell the next day at work (i thought it was monday night and it wouldn't have been as much of a problem), but i can't stand the thought of my roommate getting to go to something i wanted to go to just because it's something for him to do with his boyfriend that he doesn't have to pay for. i REALLY REALLY want to go!!!! i've wanted to go for WEEKS!!! UGH
i think i'll see how i'm feeling wednesday and i'll just go to the show and buy a ticket. i'm a fan of supporting the band and all that, but i bet they have way more money than i do. this is all so petty, but it serioiusly makes me angry. |

robert smith takes me to work. robert smith brings me back home. i love it, but i need to take the rest of my cds back out to the car soon. it's been a good two weeks since i've listened to anything other than the cure while driving.
i was hoping i'd wake up to snow and ice and all sorts of nasty weather this morning, but all i got was more rain. i like rain, but i like it more when it's frozen and keeps me home from work. and you can skate on it, and bust your ass on it, and fishtail your car on it, and see ducks get stuck in it. i don't hate ducks or anything. people are always feeding them and they usually get out eventually. they may even get in there on purpose, turning in circles in the middle of the ice and gorging themselves on breadcrumbs.
maybe tomorrow i'll get to stay home...and at about two in the afternoon i'll wish i were somewhere else. |

| i should be in bed |
[Nov. 30th, 2003|11:55 pm] |
i wonder sometimes if i'll ever know who i am. sometimes i feel like a total fraud. driving home i was thinking about the person i am at work, and how different that is from the person i was four months ago, and the person i am when i'm with my friends, and the person i think i might like to be. with some people i'm quiet, with others i'm open and much more myself, and with others i'm confused about who i should be so i just go along with whatever they say. and i can't decide if what i do is bad or if that's what everyone does and they're just much more comfortable in doing so. but i have to wonder what people think when they're used to seeing me one way and then i just switch gears. that has to be weird.
then again, maybe i shouldn't obsess so much.
i'm so awake. i wanted to hang out longer tonight but we all needed to go home so we could be responsible adults in the morning. at least i was of the house for a few hours...i've been in here all weekend. |

during the regular work week i want nothing more than to be sitting at home in my pajamas. now that i'm sitting at home in my pajamas i want nothing more than to be out somewhere. i was supposed to go to the chamber but i just can't seem to get myself to go primp to go out. i don't even know if i want to go there tonight. i need to save my money for placebo next week anyway.
ugh.
help. |

i had the day off from my usual job yesterday and i was so bored that i went to work at the record store. now i'm so bored that i'm writing to no one in particular to let them know that i'm bored. i already spent my paycheck on shoes and bills so i can't go shopping, i don't feel like watching a movie at the moment and no one else is home.
maybe there's a book here i haven't read yet. |

sitting in traffic today i noticed that the sky looked like fruit-in-the-bottom blueberry yogurt after the first spoon swirl.
and to think people don't consider it productive to stare off into space.
in other mundane kristin news, i've lost about 7 pounds in the last few weeks. the scale at work told me this today. the scale is now my new best friend.
i haven't decided if it's because of stress, lack of food in the apartment or just staying busy. i just don't want to lose my boobs.
i want to put pictures of my cats here, but it won't let me. they're really adorable though!
i still can't believe it's only 10 and i have to be in bed in half an hour. i miss being irresponsible. |
