Oh noes!!!! The bar we planned to go to tonight? Closed.
Our back up bar? Also closed.
Sad trombone.
A Whole Decade

<snip!> And now it’s New Year’s Eve and we still aren’t sure where we’re going to drink tonight.
I feel like I should ask you to marry me.
Ha! Get in line! ;)
A Whole Decade
1999 - I graduated from college with honors a year early. I still have no idea why I decided to graduate early. I think I was bored. I broke up with my boyfriend when he decided to propose on New Year’s Eve.
2000 - I worked as a reference librarian at a public library and in a really obscure department of a university library. Both were full time jobs. I spent the entire year working,...
And now for the New Year's Resolution part of the...
As I embark on 2010, I find myself at a stepping off point for some great new adventures. I’ve set some lofty goals for myself, and I figure the best way for me to follow through with them is to share them with all of you lovely people.
My ‘official’ New Year’s Resolution is to make better use of my time. No more sitting like a lump on the couch, bored out of my mind....
Ah, 2009, it's been fun.
All these retrospective posts got me thinking… The last few months of 2009 brought some interesting changes to my life.
The boyfriend and I left all our friends behind and moved to Santa Monica, just because it seemed like a good idea.
I quit bartending and got a ‘real’ job, which - big surprise - I hate!
The boyfriend found out that he has Celiac’s disease, so...

send those dog toys to Sadie. I still have them. just haven’t shipped them. I suck.
send those magnets to Robin. I still have them. just haven’t shipped them. I suck.
send postcards to several of you. I still have a ton from the Oregon coast. I haven’t written or addressed them. I suck.
make and send that mail art project to PERMENTER!. I suck.
decide once and for all if I’m going to...
My cocktail of choice in 2010

Jack & Ginger
I prefer Jameson’s and ginger, but Jack will do in a pinch!
more 52 weeks things news and notices and crap.
inthefade:
First, a big, big thank you to Rod (toldorknown) who surprised and delighted me by purchasing the domain name 52weeksthing.com for me to have my way with.
I decided how I’m going to do this. It’s a way that is minimal work for me yet still allows me to do what I wanted to do.
The deal is this: I want to aggregate all of your submissions to the 52 weeks thing. But I don’t want to do...

piscesinpurple:
Because Buju is such a dominant artist, many who don’t know more about Jamaican music have then gone on to make vast assumptions about reggae and dancehall artists, assuming that they all feel that same hatred in their hearts. And they don’t. I interviewed Tanya Stephens some years ago, and she spoke out against the homophobia in her musical genre: “I find it to be — I know this...
Why my job sucks so much...
The thing about this job is that even when I’m busy doing stuff, my brain is in no way engaged. At least at the bar I had to remember orders and keep track of things - here the hardest thing to remember is to give the receptionist her breaks exactly on time (she gets grouchy if I’m early, and grouchier if I’m late, so I have to time it so I walk up to her desk at EXACTLY 10:30,...
I’m so bored! This job is slowly sapping my will to live. Help?
New Years Resolutions
Generally, I hate New Year’s Resolutions, because I think it really just sets people up to fail, but this year, I’m thinking I might like to make one. Just one. Because really, one is enough, isn’t it? So, I think that my big New Year’s Resolution will be to make better use of my time. I procrastinate too much. I start projects and never finish them. I make grand plans to...
Tailgating at the Cardinals game would be more fun if I didn’t have to drive to Santa Monica in a couple hours!
We're there!

You guys are unbelievable, amazing, stupendous, fantastic. Awesome.
We’re there. I’m transferring a little over $200 to Leah’s account now. I don’t even know if she’s awake yet.

Tumblr people never cease to amaze me. :)
the only way I can afford to make it to San...
sokeri:
lose my job and get back on unemployment.
seriously.
even with free places to stay.
that’s how much money I’m not making at work.
I feel your pain. My income has literally been cut in half because I changed jobs. It sucks big donkey balls.
Holiday spirit? What holiday spirit?
brienis:
I could honestly care less about the holidays. Really, I’m not trying to be a scrooge it’s just…I don’t care.
I don’t send out Christmas cards (and hardly ever receive them.)
I can’t buy gifts because Hi! I’m broke! And if someone gives me a gift I feel guilty because I didn’t get them something. Who likes to feel guilt?!
I hate Christmas music.
I work in retail during the holidays....
A new tradition.
yowhatsthehaps:
Daddy-daughter Jager shots, apparently. GOOD LORD.
I wrote a song about it. It goes like this:
Oh. Oh oh oh oh. Oh oh oh oh. My my my Jagerface my my Jagerface.
It looks much like the Buckley’s cough medicine face.
Whoa.
Ah…Jaeger with Daddy. Such a sweet bonding moment!
I think Die Hard is the best Christmas movie ever.
(via frageelaytwit) Agreed.
I had a terrible day.

clapifyoulikeme:
Please don’t ask why. Just know it was terrible. And difficult. And stressful. And sad. With a maybe happy ending. And yes, I know people are dying in Darfur, and that even some people who will read this have truly awful things going on, things that make my things look like unicorns and rainbows. And I’m sorry to them, I think about them all the time, and I...
Merry Christmas to all my imaginary Tumblr friends…Santa brought me a trip to San Francisco this year, so you won’t be imaginary forever! Yay Christmas!
3rd Annual Christmas Party Tonight!
slowgraffiti:
I am trying to figure out when I should start putting shit together. It is really taking all my will power not to have the cookies sit out for 8 hours because I need to have everything perfect and oh my god I am being such a girl.
I do this too. It makes me a little crazy.
Ugh. Drunk at s club. If you don’t hear from me tomorrow, well , it was nice knowing ya. Xoxo.
Oh my god. How can it possibly be midnight? Tomorrow is gonna suck!!!
The thing that I’ve realized while hanging with these LA types: I’ve got a prettier face, but I out-weigh them all by at least 50lbs. so I’m not in the same league. Sigh.
No worries. I like how I look. :) Self-confidence is way sexy.
