i feel evil and rotten inside.

you are what you eat or you eat what you are. i want cheetos, ice cream, raw meat. coffee. speed.

i want to punch someone in the face until their nose crunches like an egg full of blood.

i want a thunderstorm.

i want him to pound me until i can't think of anything else.

my stomach is full...

Men of the world, I have a few things against thee.

1. I can accept that you want to check us ladies out. That is reasonable. But please, have a shred of tact. Staring is rude and makes us uncomfortable. Turning your head to continue staring or get a different angle makes us REALLY uncomfortable. Saying something, anything, out loud about our appearance, is rude....

dear pimps of oakland,
i'm pretty sure i never want to be a prostitute. if i did decide to be a prostitute, i certainly would not want the money i earned to go towards supporting your crack habit. so please, when i am walking by myself looking completely innocuous and non-whore-like, do not proposition me.
thanks,
thistle.

buy my stuff please.

I just got a two week temp assignment at a publishing company. Maybe this will lead to contacts in publishing. It also made me realize that Thanksgiving is in like two weeks. Mmmm tofurkey.

Adam and I went to the bar with our friends Katie and Sam, and then had breakfast at Katie's house on Sunday. She made amazing French toast with blueberry syrup. Then we went shopping for more fancy office clothes for...

If I could work just four days a week temping I would make enough for rent plus tons of spending money. If I worked five days a week I would basically be rolling in it. So why do they only give me two days a week?

May try and get a job at this cool video store. Also may try to get a permanent office...

fuck you, fall.

I've started working. It's such a relief to know that I will have money again. It's also nice to start feeling like I really live here- I'm getting the hang of public transit and the general geography.

Die Hard might be the perfect action movie. It's just so quintessential. I can't get enough explosions lately.

I would like to have a cocktail party but our...

so i live next to this scottish rite center. scottish rite is the shriner version of freemasons. sometimes there are shriners outside and that makes me happy because they wear silly outfits. but more often there are people in the parking lot either playing shitty music really loud or honking for no reason. now granted in a city like oakland automotive assholery is to be...

son of the bitch. adam and his best friend and i went to see danzig two nights ago at the pound. all of the 5 opening bands were total crap metal, but it was fun watching their crappy fans headbang and look hessian. danzig sucked for the first two songs due to technical problems and his throat apparently being coated with sandpaper. then he ate...
