leaving on a rail train

I got my train ticket in the mail today. whee! I haven’t been on a train trip in ages… since 1997, I think. I’ll be visiting my folks for the holidays, and then they’re coming up here to visit for the new year. woo woo!

I was supposed to teach a workshop today, but my package of supplies hasn’t arrived yet. Every other parcel in my order has arrived, except the one with the needed supplies! argh! I was hoping to get it in at least by this morning so I could throw together a class, but I’ll just have to cancel. Ah well.

I have a sugar hangover today. We had our Eddie Izzard Jammy Goodness party last night to watch “Circle” and to celebrate the release of “All the Queen’s Men”… it was a fun movie… not the best in the world, but really fun, nonetheless. I don’t like that Joey guy from Friends, and he played the “leading man” type guy. All the other guys were wonderful… Especially the one who played “Johnno”… he was so adoreable… And he didn’t die! In movies, the guys that I like a lot always die. There was a bit of tension around the “is he going to die or not?” question, but he pulled through, thank goodness. 🙂 But I ate too many desserts made with jam, and I thought I was going to explode.

Christen is in town with her Boyfriend, Jason (or J. or Jay… I can’t figure that one out). They’re going out to dinner this evening, and I’ll get to visit with them after that… they’re leaving in the morning.

Thanksgiving was fun. Mikey and I made a bread dressing/stuffing thingie to bring to Terry and Bob’s. Bev made an awesome vegan feast… yum. We’re still eating the leftovers that she sent home. We saved some jam squares that Melissa brought, and Amanda left the last half of her cake that she made for the Eddie party, and I have some Jammy Dodger cookies left, and a couple of pieces of apple pie that Bev sent home with us… we’re all sugared out. We need real groceries, though. As much as I love cake and cookies for breakfast, I think I should have at least some nutrition. (Chocolate’s a food group, isn’t it?)

sugar, sugar, sugar!!!!!

Goblin King, O, Goblin King… what a weird dream! Have I ever shown you photos of UMassDartmouth? It was designed by architect Paul Rudolph, and has been described by many as resembling a “space jail” or some such. Check this out. That’s pretty much all I used to do between classes back in the day: play hackey sack. I don’t have any haiku-philosophizing friends named Josh, though. (I’m not gonna call you “monkey boy” I’m a call you ‘Josh'” tee hee)

I had the craziest dream about you last night! I was dropped off at the college because I had time to kill (what college this was still remains unknown) so I decided to get a hot cup of tea from the campus cafe. Well, I was standing in line, and this girl cut in line to stand right in front of me! I told her, you know, “excuse me, can’t cut in front of me.” She’d just looked at me, smiled this evil snobby smile and continued to stay in line. Oh! I was so mad! We were on the verge of fighting when it was my turn to order. So I gave them my order, and this woman took me down along the counter and asked me what organization I was in because I didn’t look familiar. She has this whole list of school programs and I told her, “um, I’m not in a program.” “Well,” she said in an evil snobby voice,” …after 6, we only serve to people in school organizations.” And I looked at the clock and it was ONE freaking minute after six. I was really upset and embarrassed, and I left to find a vending machine somewhere. I was on the verge of tears when I saw you playing hacky sack with a group of your friends. Your hair was buzzed, you were wearing dark 80’s like cop sunglasses along with a tight black tank top. You were like,”Hey! What’s up?” you were really happy and cheery and I was really glad to see you. I tried telling you what happened, but I was interrupted by the fact that it was time for your class. You and your friends invited me to come to class with you and tag along, I said “Sure”. These buildings were really weird, dark and ugly. Like a crappy apartment built with lame 50’s architecture in a dirty city. The class you were taking was some sort of paper making/construction paper art thing. It was really cool construction paper. I sat next to one of your friends. He was a really hot guy that looked like he came straight out of Seattle in 1992, only his hair was clean and not too long. I think his name was Josh. You guys were showing me your construction paper masterpieces and we were all joking around and laughing. We were too loud and the teacher got pissed and kicked us all out. I started to feel really bad. Josh started showing me this photo album of home made paper and it was really mesmerizing and calming. While he was flipping through the book he was talking to me and telling this type of philosophy, in which he presented in haiku form. I can’t remember what it is he said, but it made me feel better. So we were walking again outside and I wanted some vending machine food, so I went into some building, and I realized that I didn’t have my bag. I left it in the classroom. So I tried to go back, but I couldn’t find the building. They all looked the same! I wondered around for a really long time. I saw the Brooklyn Bridge, then wondered onto some apartment complex. The End.

it’s been a while

my devoted (cough cough) readers have nagged me enough to make me post something.

something.

there, are you happy now? tee hee.

A great big HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!! to MO today!!! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

Chad, you made a cameo in one of my dreams last night… it was really weird. We were all at some wacky 20 cent party and it was kinda like the “toga” party, but a little different. We were all wearing weird drapey clothing like togas, except both shoulders were exposed. It was Gustav’s idea to have a “shoulder” party… weirdo. Anyway, you were going way crazy taking photos of everyone, and trying to get photos up girls drapey things. It was really funny. Don’t you go and get any ideas, now.

I think the spaminators who nabbed my email as a mask are pooping out, so I only got 230 messages today, as opposed to the 500 that I was getting. They were all bounce-backs. I hope that’s the last I see of them for a while. Thanks for the advice anyway, Kristen.

I’m almost done knitting that scarf for myself. I finished that hat a while ago. woo. I’m working on making a scrapbook for the crafty projects that I actually finish.

I’ve stopped biting my fingernails (as of October 3) and now I’ve been inducted into the society of nail grooming. It’s really stupid. I had to buy an emory board, and everything. And they don’t last very long, so I need to buy more. My nails grow really really really quickly, and I’m having to trim them and file them more than I’d care to.

Aren’t you glad I posted this people? You wanted something to read, and here it is. Exciting, no?

Of course. Well, it was a few days ago. Damn Limozeen people.

thanks for the tips, MO!

Goblin King, O, Goblin King… the url doesn’t work. And I have an email for you that I’ve been writing for well over a month… yeah, I’m not so up to date with my email. However, I have been trying to look some stuff up for you. It’s been so long, you might have forgotten what you asked me about. tee hee. I’ll see you in a month, anyway… woo hoo! (you’re going to be in town, right?)

hey Joelle..thanx for the birthday wish.

Also, if you buy a nail file (the metals ones) they will last alot longer then the emory boards and I like to use for cleaning, too.

my pants don’t fit!

Yes, that’s right. I only have one pair of pants suitable for wear during the colder months. One pair of jeans, that’s it. The other pants I had hoped to wear again this year, are too small. Somehow, I’ve gained 15 pounds. FIFTEEN freaking pounds! In six months. This is a bit much. And it’s not in the normal places that I gain weight, but instead right around the middle. All of a sudden when I sit down I have to adjust my pants to accomodate for this entity that was never there before. I wouldn’t mind putting on the pounds if I didn’t have to go buy a whole new wardrobe!!! I haven’t any money!

Apparently, when you sit on your bum and knit all day, and do the occasional sewing or maybe even sweeping the floor or doing the washing up, and all you do for activity outside is go out to feed the cats, you gain weight. This comes as a complete shock to me. I haven’t grown accustomed to this new routine of not having a routine. You mean I have to motivate myself??? What is this nonsense?

So, yeah, I’m freaking out because I can’t fit into my baggy pants from last winter, and there’s no way (if I stay like this) I’ll be able to fit into the dress I have to wear for Heather’s wedding. It’s time to bust out the tough girl, and kick my butt into shape. I was doing so well last spring and then school got tough, and then there was the move… and now I’m just lazy. Ok, I’ve said it. I’m lazy… but I’m trying to give myself a pep talk and get moving again.

rant over.

it’s not a matter of “fat” or “skinny” it’s a matter of how I feel… and I can’t afford to buy new pants.

It’s a matter of breathing heavy at the top of the stairs in my house because all I do all day is sit on my bum. I may not look it, but I feel out of shape… meaning that my heart and lungs have trouble doing normal stuff like moving my body around.

You only see me in party situations where I’m so excited to see everyone and be around someone else besides myself and Jesse that I can’t sit still.

You don’t see me at home being depressed because all I do is sit around. You don’t see me feeling shitty because I’ve fallen into a funk and I know that the best way for me to feel un-funked is to move around and get my endorphins to kick in.

I’m a person of inertia. And if I feel terrible sitting still and being a lump, then I’m going to keep sitting still and feeling like a lump.

It’s not a “fat” or “skinny” thing, it’s a matter of feeling icky or not. After I posted that message above, I exercised. I looked exactly the same, but I felt a million times better.

I still can’t fit into my pants, though, and that pisses me off.

Perhaps I should re-word what I said. Perhaps I shouldn’t have used the poundage or “weight” word, because that obviously had implications I wasn’t intending. I will emphasize the point I was trying to make. I’m broke. If my pants don’t fit me, I have to go pantless. I need to find a job. And no place that I would want to work is going to hire me if I’m pantless.

so there. piss off.
