Hello! These last few days have been very productive! Tuesday mom and I went Grocery and vitamin shopping (we were out of almost everything!) the only thing we didn’t get /couldn’t find is a fly swatter (and that totally sucks because there are a ton of flies that live with us). Yesterday we went downtown and shopped for Halloween make-up! It was cool; I got fangs and blood too. Even though I have to work tomorrow I’m still going to be scary DAMNINT! I’m excited for the adventure to Portland this weekend! I need an adventure, I can’t wait to see Naomi, and be warmed by the love radiating from her! Wow, one whole night with her! SO HAPPY! I’ll come back and post pictures later of me being a scary seductress of the undead... I love Vampires! I hope you are all doing SO good. xoxo
This....is bekah not drinking her strong cocktail I made for her. haha
:)
This is Anika in an elephant costume drinking Framboise. Yum yum
This was before the show got shutdown, they were backstage geting all ready. :(
Hello! Well the Hump Fest was almost a no-go due to moms illness but at the last minute she pulled through! We bussed over to Queen Anne and watched the amature porn films and rated them lol. I thought watching porn in a room with a bunch of strangers sounded like fun, but was worried that it would be weird with mom there. But they where all really funny..not porn that's like.. "Ohh this is hot, I'm horny" it was like "ooh this is funny, and I'm not turned on at all, cool" so that was neat. My brother and Adam (his roommate) came and picked us up to go to the KUBE93 haunted house. When we got there the line was wrapped around the block 295734 times and I wasn't that excited to wait in the cold... PLUS I only had three tickets from Bekah and needed on emore because I didn't know Adam was coming too. We decided to go eat and have some mac n jacks and drop mom off and come back, which was an amazing game pan because we go there when the line was just dwindling to a small crowd. We smoked a couple bowls and got all scared, and went in. I go to see Bekah in action, being all creepy (but SOOO cute) Max and Adam and I were the VERY last people to go through, so it wasn't all that scary... but still rocked. We wanted to go to Max's and chill but Bekah decided she was too tired, so just went we watched some family guy and I made Max drive me home at 3a.m. :-/ oh well.
Friday I was supposed to be Bekahs stage show Hardcore Saves the World, but the cops shut it down. It was so wild to be at a rave, I haven't been to one in SO long, and to see the teenage waist land just how it used to be when I was submerged in it was SUCH a trip. Bekah and her playmates were all pretty upset, because they put allot of work into the show.. so we all went to Keith's house, which wasn't far away, and got drunk and watched Planet Earth. I was blown away, and if you haven't seen it you should definitely watch... AMAZING, we watched the BBC version, muted, and blasted music. we Laughed, and cried and creamed.. What a great night! I made some new friends and got to get closer with some peeps I Haven't seen in a while, I took some funny videos too. Well next week is Halloween! and i still don't know what I'm gonna be! I will probably just go get some gory face makeup and stick-on scratches!! I'm only gonna be working... ho hum. Then on Saturday Mom and I are renting a car and going to Portland to see the Chris Cornell concert! NAOMI IS COMING WITH US!!!! I can't find words to describe how happy I am about this! I believe we are staying in Portland, and then coming back on Sunday, but I want to stay for the sauna that Naomi tells me is so amazing.
Welp, I finished my second draft of my essay about child abuse, and i must say, I am VERY proud of it. I'll keep you posted on my grade, I should be getting in 8-10 days.
I went to T-town and spent the night with Monica, and I spun fire...I just have been having a crazy urge to do it lately. So she took pictures, YAY. I think a burnt piece of kerosene-saturated torch flew into my open mouth, because I started choking and coughing wildly in the middle of it. Yuck yuck.
Monica took pictures of me for her photography assignment! she's very talented. no i didnt start smoking again.. she asked me to be a poser...I complied. :) she's got another really awesome one of me sitting along the old train tracks surrounded by condemned Tacoma, I'll post it later.
So it's Friday yet again! I have a good night at work last night, It was VERY busy! no one yelled at me, I accidentally ignored a costumer, that i thought i put on the list but.. they got pissed and left cause they waited longer than the other twelve groups waiting..sheesh! My mom swooped me up in her cab, on her way home from working downtown, and we stopped and got so cheese and wine :) very nice! I started an art project. hmmm OH I'm going to see Bekah perform her stage show: Hardcore Saves The World tonight. It will be the first rave I've been to sense the huge one at the Science center two years ago or so.. And on Saturday I'm going to the HUMP festival, that should be interesting! I have no idea what to expect, take a look @ HUMP!.
I hope this finds every one happy, healthy and prosperous! xo Syd
I had such a hard time waking up today. I almost turned off my alarm and slept through my math class. But that would be bad, so I just slipped my shoes and coat on and lay in bed until I heard the loud bus outside, then ran out and jumped on it! Here I am at school like a good-girl not missing classes! But I’m hungry because I was too lazy to make a shake this morning, and I don’t even want to go into the kitchen because the dishes are sky-high and crusty, gross and smelly! Eek, I have my work cut out for me when I get home. SO my weekend was good, I went down to Tacoma after class on Friday, I met Monica at TCC and got to see her photography class. The smell of the dark room made me nostalgic, bringing me back to high school, when I took photo every year, and a semester taking it at Highline Community college. I really MISS IT! I decided next semester I’m going to jam in one more class, Photography. It will be amazing!! So we strutted around Tacoma taking pictures, until my batteries died, she took pictures of me for her assignment, that was neat! She took pictures of my spinal tattoo and the tattoo she did on my hip. Then went to some industrial deserted part of Tacoma, where we were stopped by the police, they left us alone when I told them we weren’t prostitutes, or crack addicts, just art students with an eye for hazardous scenery. We drank two bottles of wine and played chess and scrabble, typical old lady night! We snuggled with her kitten and took a bunch of photos, then went to bed. I had to call West 5 Saturday morning to see if they needed me to come in, luckily Quinn loves me and told me to enjoy the gorgeous day with my friend! So Monica and I went to Value Village and I got some new jeans! They’re Lucky Brand and they’re brand new for only 9 bucks, SCORE!!! Monica put on a wedding dress for fun, and we took pics. I love that girl so much. We went to coffee in UP with Theresa, and then had to stay busy because her mom had a dinner date with a private investigator at her house, so what better way to kill time than to go to Borders! We spent three whole hours drinking coffee and looking at photography books, and Post Secret. Then she took me to the bus stop and I bussed back to Seattle and my brother picked me up downtown and we got some beer and watched three movies, and smoked three joints. I don’t really remember what we watched, but one of them was called “Strange Wilderness” or something and I laughed my ass off. The tattoos on the eye-lids is something I will never get over, SO good. And the shark laugh..ah god, good movie.
In the morning we went to breakfast and both ordered something that we really didn’t mean to order, it was very odd. Then he dropped me off at Divinas where I witnessed the worst dog fight I’ve ever seen! I felt helpless, the two Rat Terriers where ripping each other apart, the idiotic owner had the two dogs that were fighting tied to the same leash, not allowing them more than about 10 inches of space between them. God it was stressful, luckily a man saw it and pulled over, I was awestruck, and couldn’t do anything but watch in horror. The man pulled a rug from his truch and threw it over one of the terriers, who had a death grip on the other ones’ face! He got them separated enough to undo the leash of one, the whole time I was asking the stupid Asian woman what the hell she was thinking. Julie and Nita (from the salon next to Divinas) came out to see what all the commotion was about, they were shocked! And I told Nita to get her phone and call animal control, I wasn’t going to let this woman take both of the dogs back so that they could just kill each other later. The lady spoke little to no English; all she kept saying was “iss okie, diss mother - diss father, dey play all de time!” uhm… “They aren’t playing fucking idiot, look, his face is bleeding!” needless to say I was fired up, the woman’s American, perfect English-speaking husband came and took both of the dogs. I had been holding the shivering shaking dog (fucking sweetheart) his poor ear lacerated and his face swelling more by the minute. He was whimpering, and I was crying and shaking too, because I was so PISSED. Animal never showed up because it was a Sunday and there was only one animal control officer on duty in the area. Great! Anyways, Julie and I were both really shook up, and although we had a lot of work to do, we sat and drank a beer venting about how much that just plain sucked. Then we cooked a huge delicious Mediterranean meal; with homemade taziki and hummus, and I learned how to make a Greek salad. Mmmm! Julie and Robby (an artist helping with the shop) had Lamb, and I seriously considered breaking edge and eating meat, but I decided today wasn’t the day. But I have a feeling that I won’t be able to hold out much longer, I have been getting the urge to each a big ol’ juicy steak, but the urge only last for 5 minutes and then I don’t feel that way anymore. Maybe I’ll get really wasted on New Years and just get a mixed meat sandwich (lol). Oh boy. I’ll be posting some pictures from this weekend a little later, after I get home and get those appalling dishes done. I’m pretty sure that today is going to be the day I finally finish the last chapter of “ Breaking Dawn” I have no idea what’s going to happen, and I’ve been dragging one chapter on for almost a week and a half because I’m so reluctant to be finished with the Twilight saga that I love so much! Oh well I have another saga that Bekah’s excited to start me on. Happy Monday everyone!!
I did it. I got through this week! I finished my essay draft 1. I aced my math lab quiz, I'm moving onto the next class on Monday! I worked three long nights at the bar, aways a bit stressful, but I'm getting better at this fragile sensitivity sappy crap. I've gotten a lot of beautiful insight on life from my friends at work. Gee, a boy that works there, left me a note in the tip-tin that said:
"Be a tree stand tall with your beliefs extend your branches to feel the light but guard yourself with your roots with your roots you hold on tight"
I'd only told him i was feeling all 'jumbled' and insecure. He doesn't talk much, but for some reason I just decided I would open up to him. I'm glad I did. I needed to hear this, it's refreshing to know that some one, for no reason other that love and care, would share with me his mantra.
