she's gone, oh, why? what went wrong?

last night was brian's going away party at the crowbar. i love that place. when you step inside, it's like stepping out of northern ohio. it's pretty and clean. i didn't arrive till well after midnight (good thing i'm not cinderella). brian looked amazing. he was sparkly and i could just eat him. i'm so sad to see him go, but happy that he's going to be in a lovely place that i can hopefully visit someday soon. i'm predicting many a joyful gallery, museum, and zoo visit, and shopping! i think he'll be very happy.

i met nick, brian's new closest friend. i enjoy him emmensly. we made an appearance at club x, which was not fantastic, in all it's newly carpeted and karaoke-night splendor. there was a little excitement when nick and i decided to steal brian's artwork right off the walls and leave with them. look at us! little thieves with our jeans rolled up! we also got a good group photo, with greg (now known as sparkly mcspade) and jimmy, too.

nick is a riot.

*shrug* it was in my head.

just like everybody else does

i can't believe i haven't posted in 20 days. it doesn't seem like it's been that long. i gave up after my eye surgery, since i couldn't see. all i would have had to report anyway would have been: "today i laid on my couch/bed/chair/floor and listened to music" that's all i was able to do for over a week, and not noteworthy at all. since then, i've been so busy with work, a poster contest, family, camping, appointments, work, laundry, shows, work, wasting time with joshua (yay), cooking, cleaning, entertaining, work, and amazingly enough, not shopping.

exciting news (for me): i beat psychobilly freakout on hard!

on monday the 17th we went to a blaqk audio show. it was great, and i giggled a lot. we were right up front in the small room of the agora, and there was no barricade. i danced as well as one can being smashed toward the stage from behind.

here is one favorite of the many photos i took of davey havok that night...delicious.

although it is immensely enjoyable, blaqk audio is not comparable to afi. the end.

somehow I ended up here in between

i've been soo soo busy lately. we went to a party at nick and stephs on sunday, followed by a night of camping with jerry and heather. i much prefered the camping, actually. that monday morning, we all went out for breakfast at vansons. upon going home, we all fell asleep and slept the day away until we scrambled to make it to john's birthday dinner. yesterday i don't even remember. i know i tried to get a lot of cleaning and work done, but it just flew by.

today i had therapy. whoo. i'm liking my therapist less than i thought i did. i also worked a lot. and i also danced like a retard, and i continue to try. i plan on being up late and reading a lot. i'm having lasik done in the morning, and i'll have to rest my eyes (very similar to how your grandpa would) for the weekend. i'm not nervous yet. i don't know when i'll post again.

yay for manips! boo for working hard for nothing.

tarina tarantino and tokyo hardcore

i am in love with the glamour and sparkle of tarina tarantno.

she makes such beautiful fabulous jewelry, and she seems to embody a plethura of concepts and culture that have always intrigued me.

but more than that, she is the success story i keep in my pocket to keep me chasing my dreams.

she is releasing a catalog this month, called tokyo hardcore. i'm so excited. *sigh* ...tommy jet...trashy rockstar...

there are teasers you can view on buzznet. i died.

when you wish upon a star...will never give up again

here's some exciting news! i'm getting lasik on thursday! i'm nervous and excited, but mostly still suprised that it's really happening. i kept having doubts that i could even have it done, what with all my sour luck sometimes. and it's happening so fast. i had my appointment to meet with the surgeon and get all my measurements and all that jazz yesterday, and in less than a week, i have the surgery.

on another note, i did a teeny tiny bit of shopping. i got some more MAC (yay), and met Sarah at the counter. she is quite the coolest thing. the other day, along with errand running and a trunk full of groceries, i went to kohl's and picked up a very pretty sparkly ring and the most delightful hello kitty perfume. it smells like sugar and i want to lick myself.
