    the cause of my heart palpitations aka 2008 so far.
    I went blond.
    Turned 26.
    Named lead mac specialist at work.
    I <3 apple.
    I recently told them I needed more money.
    They recently told me they want me to be a manager in Rochester. (pass)
    The macbookair came out *I was the first one to get one to use at work!
    Sarah moved to Buffalo.
    Decided to cut my out of her life entirely.
    Despite all calls, texts, emails saying whats up/I needed her.
    She moved back to NYC and didn't tell me apparently.
    I type like I don't care but its fucking me up honestly.
    I have NEVER been so wrong about someone and it kills me that it had to be her.
    I honestly thought we would be friends for the rest of our lives.
    Chase and I broke up after 3.5 years.(Hence the fact that I could have really used my "best friend")
    It was time. I had a panic attack and brought it up. It was civil and mutual. Then we watched Barbarella.
    We love each other enough to not stay together for now and end up resenting each other later.
    Just because it was civil doesn't mean it was easy. Its tearing me apart. Being with him is so natural to me.
    We are still living together at the moment. Poor guy got laid off from HighlandGlen shortly after we broke up.
    I know things have to change. I am trying to be less controlling and to recognize my flaws and grow from them.
    I am grateful for my close friends/ coworkers.
    I am currently in hiding from the general public... I don't love gossip or having to explain to people why Chase and I broke up just so they can't talk about it on the internet to each other. pass on that.
    I cut my hair and dyed it dark *well Dana did.* I needed to look different.
    I joined a gym just after the new year. I am really glad I did.
    Lauren is going with me and training me. At the gym and about life in general. Its really nice to have a friend that I can learn from. I am often times the dominant giver in friendships. I am learning to like the pain and the challenge. Its a more healthy thing to control than things I have tried to control in the past.
    Some times I go on my own to run. Its a really positive way to channel my anxiety and I have been feeling more energetic with less back problems since. I hope I can be more consistent in going- things have been hectic and weird lately... I can run a mile though without stopping! Take that high school gym class!
    I am in Texas now.
    Spending a week with my sister in Houston. Trying to get some distance and perspective.
    Oh and some sunshine please...

    JERK list.
    These are my top three JERKS of the day. #3 being the worst*

    1. People of able body- who are carrying nothing -who take the elevator down one or two floors... or up for that matter. American it's not your thyroid it's you attitude and reliance on machines to nurse you. TAKE THE STAIRS JERKS

    2. People who smoke in public and stand right next to a trash bin or ashtray and STILL throw it on the ground. PUT IT OUT THEN THROW IT OUT JERKS

    3. The BIGGEST asshole of the day! The winner is...
    PEOPLE WHO DRIVE HUMMERS! Thats right.. People who drive Hummers and then PROUDLY display the support our troops magnet they probably got at Walmart.
    first off... Do you think the proceeds from 90% of those will go to the deserving troops or their family's ? SECOND... WHERE do you suppose the oil comes from to fuel that BEAST you drive? THATS RIGHT! FOREIGN OIL! So while you say you support our troops you are buying more foreign oil in a week than I will in 6 months.
    Also.. FYI you arent in a dessert and you don't need a car that size. Not to mention if you decide to crash into any of us with small, cleaner more economical cars... do you suppose we will survive a collision with a vehicle designed for war time?! COOL! TAKE A WALK JERKS!

    11 years vegetarian! + new job.
    Hooray! 11 years ago today I was in jr high and I decided that I no longer wanted to eat meat. One of the best choices I ever made. I love you furry friends but not to eat. tofu however...


    I will eat you! <3

    fireside.
    I am @ the Alumni House. In Cortland another night due to bad weather. Can't really complain though... I am laying in a dimly lit beautiful room by a huge fireplace listening to music, eating chocolate and playing on my laptop. Just wanted to document this wonderful feeling of calm & luxury before I head back to Buffalo and start my new job at World Web Dex- as their graphic designer. I am nervous I hope this works out.. I want to start saving and planning and making things happen. Lots of travel and new couch would be nice. God I am exciting. Oh well Jen and I will have fun discovering how to do this whole grown-up business girl thing together. eep.
    ok enough of this I am going to enjoy the fire. God I love fireplaces & watching the snow from a warm cozy place. Wish there was a bear in the chair across from me. *possibly with a bubble pipe or at least a hug for me.

    Things that are:::
    Good:::
    -Having loving parents that support me and don't push me although I would feel less guilty if they did.
    -Having a really super supportive boyfriend who I can count on.
    -Being in a relationship that gets better and stronger with time. The opposite of what usually happens.
    -Time off = time with kittens!
    -Rad friends like Jen & RJ. They are great and I appreciate having them in my life on lots of levels. A little thing like an invite to the store or a meal means a lot- to feel wanted and included when you don't have tons going on and feel like you don't have much to offer. :)
    -I finally beat Zelda
    -WBFO NPR mug contest, designing posters for apple seed cast and rob crow shows, looking forward the small press fair in march. Jess Haidon and I are reserving a table to sell bookmarks, book plates, magnets, pins, zines etc. Hands on artsy fun!
    -Hearing from far away friends/ playing catch up at unexpected times.
    -Soundlab I am glad that places exists. It gives Chase opportunities and provides me with all sorts of music and experiences I would normally miss out on.
    -Not having a job means I don't have to go out in the snow if I don't want to. (and I don't.)

    Bad:::
    -Not being able to help friends in need no matter how hard your try, I hope James will be ok.
    -Not having a job and not knowing if you are taking the proper steps to find one.
    -The unidentified lump on my kittens throat and the fact that I can't afford to take him to the vet right now.
    -My sister's procedure did not work. They only were able to collect 4 good egg follicles and none of them were fertilized... that was almost a week ago and I haven't heard from her. I hope she got my package.
    -Not hearing from Sarah, I was reading old messages from her last night I really miss her.
    -My sleeping schedule anywhere from 4-6AM- 1PM seems to be the theme.
    -Not leaving the house in fear of spending money. (which means I don't see people as much. Who wants to hang with the square that can't afford to do fun stuff? I don't!)
    -Having to burden my parents with my financial problems. I am kind of awful and spoiled and I hope some day I can pay them back, but how do you fully pay back a life time of support and unconditional love.

    Wanted:::
    -My sisters good health and happiness, and the family life she wants and deserves after all she has done for humanity and the creatures of this earth.
    -A good design job with benefits
    -Wanroom series one
    - My parents to quit smoking
    -Water balloons filled with frosting and sprinkles to throw at people who talk shit and have bad attitude and small BRAINS!
    -A pool to swim in for a while. I really like to swim...
    -travel- Boston to see Anthony, NY to see Sarah Lucy Eva James etc, Montreal intrigues me, & another lovely night away from everything with Chase in Toronto. (not just because of the hotel pool)
    -twin peaks season 3 to have happened.
    -to go to sleep and wake up living in Stars Hallow.
    -a perfume that really smells like strawberries.

    If moochie gets too lonely I intend to get her a new fat orange cat boy friend. Yes. We shall see.
    Husky Rescue show on Sunday excites me greatly.

    Rapture
    The highlight of my day. I was driving home from work just after ten tonight and as I got closer to the Albright Knox I noticed lights and a big fence around the outside. I rolled down my window and what met my ear? The sweet sweet sounds of Blondie... and who do I see? Miss Deborah Harry on stage about 150 feet from my car! I totally forgot about the concert... And when I got home I got out of my car *MILES away and could clearly hear the lyrics to "Rapture" *swoon.
    I may not have gone to the show but I think its pretty cool that I saw Deborah Harry on my way home from work.

    *le sigh... I wish we were friends.

    Chicago!
    So I am in Chicago!
    yes thats right. Chase and I actually went some where together!
    We left Tuesday drove all day and got here Tuesday night. We are staying with my lovely Colleen. I am so very glad to see her here. She is doing so well. Not that I don't love to see her in Buffalo- but I feel that she is more in her element here. She has really spread her wings both personally and professionally and I couldn't be more happy for her.
    The drive here was long... and I was a bit disillusioned at how everything kind of looks like Buffalo or it suburbs. *aside from Cleveland and of course Chicago itself. This city is huge! I always get kind of flustered in big cities. I feel so small and discombobulated! It doesnt help that I have a really poor sense of direction. Its a really nice city too though. For the most part people are really friendly and its quite clean. It was nice to see strangers smiling, talking and just making eye contact on the subway. Thats pretty much out of the question in most cases in NYC at least. there is a good amount of green here too. Trees, grass, gardens. Other notes on the trip=
    + finally getting away from Buffalo with Chase.
    + AMAZING vegan and vegetarian food daily. & with options of different locations!
    + Seeing Colleen and making new friends! *her roommates are great.
    + going dancing downtown to white kids playing soul music!
    + dance floors covered in talc for extra smooooothness!
    + Brad coming to hang out! I feel bad because all of our past hang out were him being close to me because of tour. Now I am the one who drove far to come play!
    + Sales at Urban outfitters!- Finally finding that Joy division shirt @ 9$ instead of 60!
    - the fact that 90% of the bitches at that store that buy that shirt don't know that it's a joy division shirt.
    - finding my dream shoes and thinking they were synth-leather then having my friends drive across the city only to find out they are
    LEATHER! stupid deadly fashion....
    + - Having Colleen, Chase and Brad all in one place for a day! It was amazing to spend the day with 3 people that I care so much about, that are all from different parts of my life. the - comes from me going back to Buffalo and awkward small talk mostly with people I don't care that much about and that don't care about me. I just get frustrated when I realize that most of the people I really care about/ care about me are scattered across the country. Not that there are not good people in Buffalo I just don't know where I stand with most of them. Would they notice if I wasn't around tomorrow? Because these people in other cities would. It makes me really sad.
    + waking up with the knowledge that I am in a different city that has lots of secrets, destinations and people waiting for me.
    - Knowing that I will have to go back to Buffalo, work at the mall and have no idea where I will live in a couple of months. I can't tell entirely but I really hope that this trip kicks my ass a little and gives me some perspective about life. I am not doing what I am suppose to be doing. Not that the body shop isn't a pleasant place to work but I just need more. I have felt like such a zombie lately. I just don't get joy out of much anymore, even when I know I should be. & When I do get an unusually good mood, it feels unnatural and wrong which I pick up on and then it fades back into maudlin.
    + Just being here around so much life (so much POSITIVE life that is) Has given me lots of ideas.
    - feeling old and used up and weak when I see all this life going on around me here. People laughing, talking, working, LIVING with so much drive and motivation. Everyone on the street looks like they know where they are going and why.
    + I got new stickers and frilly socks for Sarah! Sorry had to lighten the mood again...
    + the fact that I can walk away from this laptop and go spend one more day here, there will be plenty of time for me to be online when I am back in the cave that is Buffalo. So LATER SUCKERS i am going to spend the day in the Chicago sun.

    Uncle Dutch
    Rest in peace my dear unlce Dutch. You were a wonderful man and you brought me many smiles. Fondest memory= you telling me about ww2 and chasing Andrew Summerfield and I with a hose.
    Please forgive me if I wuss out and don't go to your funeral. I don't deal well in those situations. But it means no disrespect to you or our family. You were wonderful and I will give aunt Helen an extra good hug for you.
    *do I realize I am typing on my laptop and not in fact talking to my recently departed great unlce? Yes. Do I care? No. Fuck off I deal in strange ways. Some people pray I vent to mechanical friend here. PEACE.

    Quin36sXe (3:00:25 AM): yeah I dont know. Feel like there is much going on in the world and I am missing out. Kind of like when you are little and your parents have a party and you have to go to bed but you can't sleep because you can hear the party sounds but arent allowed to dance or have chips or even leave your room. Does that make any sence?
    Quin36sXe (3:00:48 AM): I dont think that ever really happened to me. But I imagine thats what its like.
    biff not bombs (3:01:08 AM): it totally makes sense
    Quin36sXe (3:01:15 AM): *le sigh
    biff not bombs (3:01:23 AM): and is quite a good analogy

    snow FLAKE.
    So yesterday it was so very pleasant outside... It was about 60 for most of the day. Unheard of in our frigid Buffalo winters. It was warmer here in fact than in Pheonix AZ. (as my mother informed me) I worked all day 9:30-8 or so. Came home cleaned until Jen and RJ got to the apt and then we went to Louies. Then just as happens EVERY other time it has been slightly nice out and I plan on doing anything outside- it rained. It was extra fun because we had walked to Louies. When we came back out less than an hour later the temp had already dropped. My driver side car door lock had only yesterday unthawed enough to work for the first time in about a month. So of course today its snowing, really hard in fact. Its making my flower desk friend sad. (desk panda too) SEE! Image hosted by Photobucket.com
    I am at work now waiting for edits so I can go home. There is an opening tonight I was really excited about going to for a long time but now I just don't really care or want to go at all.(for several reasons) *le sigh. Off to the magical land of Quark and photoshop. Who wants to save me and give me cupcakes and sunshine?

    I am really excited.. Let me know what you guys think.

    I feel such relief... My design is out there now. It's in print. Its a tangible object that exists somewhere other than the 2D realm of my monitor!
    On top of that people will see it! LOTS of people! My cover will be a deciding factor in weather or not they pick up the paper. *sigh
    Please pick it up people...
    Also I am running a myspace acct for the paper please add us!

    I crave granola not dust mites...
    Update-
    I lost my voice... but then I found it. Chase was bummed said I sounded better all raspy!

    Working at Borders cafe. 7$ an hour + tips and a discount on pretties!
    I really like getting tips... I don't go to the ATM any more really. Its nice I am only allowed to use the play money that I earn with my charm. hehe.
    I like it there... Its warm and its like playing restaurant when you were little. Putting whipped cream and toppings on is my favorite part.
    I am also doing design on the side. -Stuff for Phatman and the cover for the new Lemuria 7".
    Other than that thanksgiving is coming... Then Christmas. My sister will be coming home the 9th-19th. I am terrified they arent going to give me enough time off at home... they are real jerks about it from what I hear and I am already having bad dreams about it.
    Work tires me but I like money... I don't like not seeing Jen enough though!
    Shes dreamy...
    OH my brother got a job! First time in 5 years and first since his brain surgery! He is doing help desk work for a software company. I am so proud of him... I got him a windows XP desk ref guide 9 books in one for Xmas!!! he will be excited.
    Chase and I have really leveled off. And I don't mean that at all in a bad way. Things are way more laied back and nice. We both do our own thing, take time to miss each other and enjoy the time we have together. I am really glad I got my head on straight. Now if we can just work on that attitude of his hehehe.
    As always I miss Sarah... We have been talking a lot more again so that makes me smile. But It makes me miss her that much more.. Last Thanksgiving was great. I really hope we make plans happen soon, travel and time and money are such awful things to reckon with... Le sigh...

    Mother Grandmother Grand daughter @ Borders cafe-

    GM: "This article is SO true! It says how you crave the things you are allergic
    to!"
    GD: "... I don't CRAVE dust mites!"


    It made me laugh...


    Also after working the 8-4 I came home and passed out... When I woke up my alarm was off and I had eaten a granola bar that was next to my bed IN MY SLEEP! I woke up with a tummy ache... I wonder how much I chewed!

    Things to smile about
    - I went home saw my family and friends, the sun was shining I did most everything I mentioned that I wanted to.
    -In addition I went horse back riding with my sister on my birthday!
    yes its random but it was really fun. It was a farm out in summerhill it turns out it was sheila's family's place! We went on an hour ride through the state land woods. It was neat. I even went fast a few times. My sisters horse didn't listen well, they could sense her veganess. Then the family went bowling at CORTLANES! topped off the day with dinner at the Hollywood and moms vegan chocolate chip peanut butter frosting cake= good day!
    -I started a job at Borders.. Its not where I want to be or where I should be but I am out of the house and making money. Also I figure if I surround myself with all the things I want to create then it will kick my ass into designing more. And hey... I get my own "staff mug" with my name on it...
    yeah you are all jealous. I have only worked 4 days and they want to switch me to cafe and give me more money! You cats think I should? people can be pretty crazy about their coffee...
    I had a really strange dream last night that I was up in the rafters above a backstreet boys concert... They were all jumping around on bungee cords all crazy like. I was terrified of falling the whole time and a bunch of people from my highs chool were in the audience. I am pretty sure I was kickin it with Justin Timberlake.. WHAT DOES IT ALL MEAN! Pop culture icons invading my slumber nooo! Its kind of like how I know all the words to most of the songs in the top 40... But I never ever sit down and listen to them. They just SEEP into your subconscious because you are inundated with them everywhere you go!
    -Marya had her baby and he is healthy.
    -I obtained the first 2 seasons of Gilmore Girls on DVD I know most of you hate it and I dont want to hear it. It makes me happy and I intend not to leave my room for a week. or so...
    - In other news I like peanutbutter crackers a lot. I would have to say its my number one comfort food. *thanks mom.
    -In closing Mechanical monkey bands are always terrifying even if they are't playing music.

    so heres the plan..
    tonight Boom Bip @ soundlab
    tomorrow- Mrs.Middaugh's chiropractor has agreed to see me for free. He heard about the accident and the fact that I am without health insurance since graduating. It's really quite kind of him... and I get to get cracked and aligned! oh boy! -then HOPEFULLY getting my car back fixed finally... not painted but running... I haven't driven since the accident and I am jumpy when I ride with other people. In other words the new parts will probably give out or I will freak out on the thruway and make a mess. WHAT. Yeah kidding, I will be fine. I'll do whatever it takes to get home for the weekend and here's why!
    I get to stop off in Rochester and see my Sarah! *She will be there for her sisters wedding. Then I get to go home and spend my birthday (OCT 3) weekend with people that I love!
    My sister+ Peter are flying in from Houston today to surprise my Mom! I am really bummed that I can't be there to see her face when she sees my sister.. It was the plan that Peter would come back for a zoo convention of sorts. So when they both show up... and stay til tuesday...! so excited.
    I am also just so relieved that the hurricane didn't cause more trouble for my sister... I am so glad she is coming home safe to us.
    other reasons to be excited:
    Lucy, Eva and James are going to be in town!
    PUMPKINFEST!
    Ithaca/iron kettle farms/ maybe skaneateles both so pretty this time of year..
    good foods.. UM BIRTHDAY CAKE!* chocolate cake with peanut butter frosting=fav.
