Portland is much much much cleaner then Philly...

Um, hello...
Everyplace is much cleaner than Philly!
Welcome back

I love the west coast mountains! I've lived in Vancouver for 10 years & I'm still amazed by them. I find that Portland and Seattle are the most Canadian like American cities I've ever been to. Probably becasue I find them to be very clean, safe & people are friendly. I've never been to Philly so I can't comment on it. Hey last night there was this punk rock stand off with the police in my neighborhood & I was chased by the riot police & their dog team! It was rather weird as I was just an observer and the so-called riot was rather mellow.

shesh, the missing has begun!

Honey, you back? You having fun? Ya miss me?

I have hazel eyes but they sometimes change color.
Oh, and I wanted to be a nun too. I think I look good in navy.

Hey no problem you are awsome!

Awww, kitties with allergies....i think i am going to cry now.

If you get a chance go to the Pied Cow, it is like a Coffeehouse that serves awesome deserts, coffee drinks, beer, and appetizers......it rocks!!! It is on SE Belmont and 32nd St., kitty corner to Zupan's market. They are my favorite place to have dedert, EVER. They have so many things....bernadette's brownie boat (brownies under icecream, raspberry preserve and whip cream), S&M cake (dark chocolate cake w/ a shot of espresso poured over it) and peanut butter truffle in a tea cup (basically yeah a giant truffle in a cup) which is SO dangerous because even though it is tiny its like too much for two people. This place is awesome. It has the weirdest ecclectic collection of bad art, a stairway turned shrine, a kitty who roccasionally roams through the restraunt named "Fancy", a room that looks like you are inside a genie's bottle, and if you eat outside you can rent a Hookah with various flavor choices of tobbacco.....i don't smoke but they smell really nice. I would highly recommend it. They are open until 1:00am which is nice too.

'til later, take care'o'theeself!

enjoy your amaretto
and have fun,it seems like you REALLY really need it

nice to meet you too.
im thinking about changing my profile pic,since everyone thinks i am obsessed with alf ,lol
i just thought it would be a funny picture

Oooh! Fable looks really good! I watched people playing it at the Penny Arcade Expo but i am somewhat bad at video games, so i didn't want to play it myself in front of so many guys (there was like a 10:1 ratio of guys:girls).

Yay! I am glad thins are ok with your mom right now! Less worry=happy tum tums.

I love jager. Liquid alchoholic cookie....drools.......actually i really like Oatmeal cookies too.....basically anything that tastes remotely like cookie. Damn you cookies, get behind me satan! I wonder if the oreos were why i feel so horrid today.

I have never seen monster house....but the concept i have ehard of, and it sounds cool. I want a house.

Okay, slie is tired and wants of sleeping. Take care you! Have fun traveling and enjoy Portland for me, i love it too!

I am feeling so much better today....no sicky sicky....ach, does that mean i actually have to go to work?

San Diego Comic Con was amazing awesome. I like comics, though i just "got into them" about three years ago, unlike so many people that have been aware of them since childhood. I never really liked any of the superhero ones. What were/are your favorite comics? I know, it is such an expensive habit to get into, that probably it is also a good idea to get out of it eventually. But i am hooked and now i want to go to the con every year. There was an amazing diversity of events going on not to mention the diversity of geeks there as well.

Oh no....video games are dangerous for getting things done! I like the stupidest games sometimes. I am excited for the new Sims to come out......yeah, that is kinda silly but it will be the death of my social life for a little while, irregardless of how stupid it is....

Mmmmm.....whole paycheck foods...........i miss it. There is one in portland right near powells, so i guess i am glad i am not in portland all that much at the moment because damn, between those places i would bring no money back home with me.

take care lady!

They are 13.50 (www.maccosmetics.com to update you on a few new lines..colours...)
I use to go out like 2-3 times a week...I need to go out more...I get stir crazy. I just doubt I can stay out late. So I just have to make sure I get there on time this time.

I hope everything goes well for your mom, and you. Really hard stuff....

I don't know about the men thing. I am incredibly in love right now with an awesome guy which totally skews my viewpoint. I do think however that girls and guys functioin very differently, both through societal upbringing and genetics. All of my male friends are awesome, and i trust them just as much as my female friends, its just that for the most part i can see differences. I basically just try as much as possible to filter all the other people out, or try to understand them for what they are. I find women can be equally screwed up in different ways. Like a few women i have met who talk to you like they care, and then either string you along while cultivating gossip about you and talking behind your back, or they just drop you and then say "oh we should get together, definately" but then obviously mkae no efoort--in fact if you make efforts to see them they always have stupid reasons why they can't hang out but don't have enough guts to just tell you off. I hate that......but i know a lot of women who are awesome too. There are a lot of those negative type of women i just described, but i try to filter them out just like the bad men.

why was it painful to be in portland? Past stuff?

Thats cool about your sweater. I need to practice more knitting. Ihave just made swatches and like three scarves so far. Scarves are getting intensely boring, so maybe i should see if the local Bookstore can order it for me. I also want to do sweaters so bad! But i am not ready, nor do i have the money. In the mean time i think i will work on Christmas presents. I am going to knit bath washcloths out of cotton/hemp blend yarn in a basketweave stitch in people's favorite colors. Oooh, how domestic of me!!!


Oooohhh, i havew always wanted to see someone make pumpkin and coffee scented perfumes....maybe even toghether! Pumpkin-coffee perfume would make me cream myself!!!!! Ahhh!

Okay, gotta go....take care!

the lipglass is wonderful they still have nico though...I love chai and viva glam v the bestest though.
Man if I walked down walnut I would be in trouble.
I watched that show last nite too..I was so bored I ended up exercising...so yeah bad show..
Are they fleas? hives? (have been getting weird hives lately)
I did just order from japan...jeez..but I got a cute dress and a skirt and put a coat and shirt on reserve...the coat soooo cute...its a bear coat. I order these mags from japan then I have to have all the clothes in it because they look so cute..I never look that cute because well they are models and well japanese. oh well I need to stop shopping.

Sounds like you're going through really really difficult times. I'm sorry to hear that.

I hope you were/are able to get some time in with your guy. Sounds like you two have a very loving relationship.

Hang in there lady!

Im sorry things are going so badly for your mom. Try to keep in good spirits, lil lady. That'll help her and yourself out immensely.

aw, congrats on your anniversary!!!!!!!!

Congrats to you both!
Mine was yesterday, 9/11!!!
Five years for me.

Hmmm, I've been away from your journal for a few...picked a bad day to come back!

Much of my family lives in italy. We were conditioned at a young age; when the phone rings in the middle of the night it means someone died. Not a good childhood memory.

I hope things get better for your mom.

My wife is a fag hag (I guess I am too). There were times when our home resembled The Birdcage.

I like Grover's picks today!
You're the coolness

Ahhrg that SUCKS!!! I hate it when people do that with work, like "oh wait you mean you wanted to go on vacation on not work on stuff the whole trip, what?" Grrr give us a break! Damn the Man, damn him!

That sucks about your mom! How old is your sister now? My mom had breast cancer and chemo a few years ago. She felt horrible. And for the most part she still had to cook (even though she was too nauseous to eat what she cooked a lot of the time) because my father, and certainly my brother, are both too stupid to cook for themselves. Also the doctors told her not to eat any red meat that wasn't organic and nitrate free (or is it nitrate? whichever one is the obviously more frequent occurance in store-bought meat), but my dad would still com home from Costco with huge steaks and pot roast that was definately not OK for her to eat, and still want her to cook it. I think she got pretty tired of that.

Do you have pics of your sweater-in-progress up yet? I want to see! I should put up some pics of stuff i have made! I am just lazy.

Also, i love Hope Blister! I love them, i found out about them by chance because i bought the Smile's OK album several years ago just because i liked the cover art. It is so good! I have not heard the Gus Gus original though. Wish i had more money for CDs!

Something that won't make you want to punch puppy dogs....um, uh....oh wait thats not what you meant. Here is something massively cute in my opinion. But then again, i laugh at weird things. Well, i guess i will jsut take waht i can get when it comes to getting happy!

Take care!
