Here's a video Osker made. At 1:28 it's Mallory, Eva and Justin throwing out a drunk 18 year-old from the toho. "Get the fuck away from here!" Classic.
The rest of the video is a disproportionate amount of 19 year-old girls who threatened Guantamontrose faculty, "I'm going to kick your fucking asses!" |

Из-за тесной осоки - трава.
Еле-еле шляпа видна.
И заметно из-под неё
Белых белых волос копна.
Я хотел поближе подплыть.
Поздороваться с ним.Да как?
Только чаек зря распугал.
Седовласый исчез рыбак.
...Я в пути.И нет никаких забот.
Одинокая лодка моя
рассекая волну плывёт...

I just looked at Justin's flickr, and I think it does a nice job summing up the past year. Here are some favorites
the new way to do shots
Hayden gives Jack a heartfelt lecture
Salome and an upset J-toy (Eva and Kenny fall in love in the background)

Mallory, Kim, Steven & Tim

Today I got a Snuggie. If you thought you looked like a hungover wreck wandering around your apartment with bedhead and an unwashed face, well try it with a Snuggie. It really completes the I-dont-care-anymore look. |

i bought a pair of banana republic pants today.
because.. well, they're wool and fully lined and were half price at the thrift store.
which made them $4, and they were a size 4.
a dollar a size, hah!
;)
no, really though.
i've never been in to a banana republic, i actually pride myself on that, but..
the pants man, they're so soft!
and the size, well, i haven't gone running in about 2 months or so, which means these were just a nice little ego boost.
hah!
silly life. O.o |

First, HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MOM!
Second, Jackie's book was released in the US yesterday, so I had to go out and look at it in person.
This is me hiding behind a bookshelf being unreasonably giddy about the fact that I can walk into a Barnes & Noble and find a book with one of my photo's inside:
And this is me being skeeved out by all the creepers in the bookstore. Must they stand so close?
Finally, this is me making a really unattractive face (am I melting?) and realizing I should not have ventured out of my cocoon two days before Christmas when most people are on the brink of insanity.
At least I'm back home now. I've been somewhat productive today so I'm now going to sit in bed with hot tea and some reading material...or Star Wars.
P.S. I will never admit how long it took to take these photobooth shots because of having to wait until NO ONE was around to observe my antics.
It was awhile. |

kevin texted yesterday and said "write! anything! now! a sentence, a story, a novel, just write!" and... well, i couldn't because i was in the midst of running errands. i told him, "later", which was very vague (and he called me on it) but yet...
later? this is where we find ourselves...
writing.
self-imposed, semi-solitary, writing with my mattus.
alright.
start.
to write, you have to start.
i'm not exactly fending off writer's block as much as i simply don't wish to take the time to think of a specific topic.
i'll hopefully manage to just slide in to one.
the old school tactic, stream of conscious what.
everyone seems to be writing these days.
i feel odd about it.
i want to be doing it, more, MORE... well, at all.
and i don't take the time, make the time; i just don't do the time thing.
until recently, houseguests and all, there wasn't enough quiet for me to hear my thoughts, so i ignored them.
and now?
now we're getting back into a work schedule type thing and i think more structure will be better for encouraging my creative outlets. time, silly thing that it is, is easier to digest when it's dealt with in specifically prescribed doses.
i need to get back to the book, no doubt, but i have other little ideas running around in my head.
and i have this idea of being... published.
i've never had a creative work published. (reviews, articles, nonfictional pieces, yes. but i never take those things in to account when i think about "writing.")
well, that's not entirely true. i think i had some small pieces published in my high school's yearly creative writing magazine, but that was more years ago than i'd like to count.
i've never tried to have anything published is a more accurate statement. in all of my writing years, in all of my writer fancies, i've never submitted anything, anywhere.
is that... common?
for a while there was an explicit reason - an unabashed fear of publication. it's just a form of the good ol' fear of rejection, ya know? fear of anyone reading anything i had written that hadn't come from real-life-facts. fear of ... not being as imaginative, as descriptive, as ... intriguing as i hoped i was.
ironically, that's one of the reasons i started my livejournal. so that someone, somewhere, would actually read the crazy words i put out and it would do something. have some effect. make some one smile, make someone laugh, make someone think, make someone emote. someone that wasn't me.
it was a big experiment, and it's gone pretty well. i love writing for my friendly audience, but i never followed through with the story writing aspect i had always hoped to attain.
it's a shame. if it's what i want to do, i need to do it.
i need to do it the same way i've done this, which is just sit down, and start.
....hours. i'll need hours.... |

| Vegan Gingerbread Truffles |
[Dec. 22nd, 2009|01:12 pm] |
These are simply the best truffles ever. Not only because the flavor is the perfect blend of sweet, salty and festive, but they're actually pretty darn good for you.
Made with fruit, nuts, and dipped in just a bit of dark chocolate, these holiday flavored truffles are a great treat to indulge in without feeling guilty or getting a sugar-high and stomach ache.
Head over to pumpkinandpomegranate.com for the recipe - just make sure you use dairy-free chocolate or roll in cocoa powder for absolutely no refined sugar truffles.
And while you're there, tell her how amazing she is for this totally awesome recipe!
P.S. If you have left-over melted chocolate, mix in some walnuts, pour it on a parchment lined baking sheet, sprinkle with sea salt, freeze, and break into pieces.

| five things |
[Dec. 21st, 2009|10:13 pm] |
The first five people to respond to this post will get something made by me.
This offer does have some restrictions so please read:
- I make no guarantees that you will like what I make.
- What I create will be just for YOU & you are allowed to make requests and I will try to honor them (actually not really that's a lie).
- It will be done before 2011.
- It might be cookies, a mix cd, a doll made from my hair, a necklace, a human baby, etc.
- You'll need to message me your mailing address if you're one of the first 5.
- This means I will have your ADDRESS. Think about that before acting impulsively.
In return you repost this on your LJ and offer to make five things for five other people. Or don't. Or just send me stuff— drugs, money, etc.
2 TAKERS SO FAR!
I'll, like, edit this post when I reach five people.
examples:
(Which reminds me, I need to make Christine's wall vinyl...)

I saw a line that one reviewer said about "Avatar" that I thought was perfect. Here it is:
"Forget dancing with wolves, howzabout doing the Funky Chicken with aliens?"
That is exactly right. So has anyone else seen it yet? |
