do not throw balls at her!


hm.

i've been home a combined total of 4 days in september. and i'm leaving again in two. this is weird. i know i've mentioned a lack of reality, but...one week ago i was in cali. in the past 2 days i've been in az, utah, idaho, oregon and washington. landscapes both mental and physical have seen such tremendous upheaval...

i started a new job today. complete with tb test - nothing like a first day at work complete with needles, which i strongly hate. but i think it will be good. very good. money is always good. my supervisor is apparently super organized and most likely anal. she also likes to wear her sweater tied around her neck...which...well, i shouldn't be judgemental. but that has got to be my least favorite clothing position of all time. i'm sure to bring something unique to my 3 person team. yuuuuuuup!

i'm going to be leaving again for a week, and then when i get back i will head to work and then school. because school starts again soon.

as i've said ten thousand times - i have no idea what's going on. and it's good. really really good.

oh, and? with all the places i've gone recently, it sure is good to return to the most beautiful of them all - my home in seattle. this city is beyond inspirational.

oh, and again? let's hear it for cool, cool, semi-dreary weather.

hm.

i'm going to charlottesville. it's been 5 long years. the first, oh wait, ONLY time i was there was the FIRST TIME i'd gone to a show with fellow freaks. our love was a new love. now it's old and rugged and weathered and kinda sloppy and squishy yet firm and hard and

trenchcoat, eh?

apparently it was a weekend made for the dmb myth books. for a few different reasons for a few different people. i wasn't aware, however, that the comical and oh-so-entertaining world of the message boards and what have you would put such different limits on what deserves to be mythical and what does not.

i had so many reactions this weekend that i was just not aware were on tap or really even slightly probable.

at all.

but, alas, i am still in the midst of it all, so i suppose i will update later.

i do miss my west coast, however. while i'm not wishing my time away here, i will be estatic once i am once again safe on west-of-the-cascades soil.

first day of classes.


all i have to say is:

please god, please let me marry a cute professor. and let us have a beach house with big windows by which both of us will write and tangle and...

now, you have to understand that that statement is funny both because i believe neither in god nor marriage, but GOD DAMN i always have cute professors.

we shall be wedded in academic bliss.

p.s. - i'll admit it. i'm in love with the new mayer. fucking hell.

the best of what's around


i should be sleeping. and i have way too much to say to make this functional at all. but...

to my dearest, dearest dmb family:
they say that people often times see themselves as they are reflected through the eyes of others. i have always been fortunate to have a wide network of extremely loving, supporting friends who help the good in me shine through while constantly making me improve myself. because i have so many different groups, and i tend toswitch consistently between observer and active participant, i think everyone gets a different twist on who i am. however, i do think it's important that you all know that i am so glad to have realized that your particular version of me is the one that has blossomed and developed the most, because i am the most myself when i'm with you and you make me so extremely grateful to be living life in the ways that i am. the version of me that i've grown into has so much to do with you all, and within it is the greatest acceptance, open mindedness and love for life. i'm glad you won. i love you guys so much. thank you for seeing all the good in me and providing such an amazingly passionate environment in which i can always sing and dance and TOTALLY play for you tonight the thrill of it all. i'm so glad i have you guys as a backbone and as a 100% chosen family.

to everyone i've visited in the past 26 days - i have no idea what's going on, but i sure am glad i was able to hit all 12 states and see virtually everyone i love.

to my seattle friends-
I AM SO FUCKING GLAD I AM HOME. i love seattle. i love seattle. i love the west coast. i love you all and your non-conformist(hahahah), crazily styled selves. i love all of your musical endeavors and your quirkiness and the thrill that has come with knowledge that there is a community that has formed to me here that has made me feel grounded and rooted and comfortable and able to further all of my dreams. i know it takes a fucking long time to get to know me, and i'm so fucking stoked that you all have joined the ride. seriously. i am just so glad to be home. the rest of the country freaks me the fuck out. the diversity that exists in our little bubble here is beautiful and i would not want to live anywhere else or have anyone else gracing my presence regularly.
