housecleaning puts me in a really good mood.
i've been spending the day cleaning up around here: sweeping, vacuuming, washing and mending... and putting the final touches on rearrangements made weeks ago. posters are coming up and going down. calender pages torn off to the right months. crosses through days. x's through items on lists in my head.
if i finish with enough time left,...

there was something about getting that tattoo last week - some subtle shift in my perspective - some state of transcendance i happened upon whilst staring up at that nail in the ceiling and whiteknucklegripping the frame of that padded table... i have a few ideas as to exactly what may have shifted inside of me - none of which i'll bore any of you...

its on my arm. you can see it in my profile pic and in my pics also. you guess what it is. its commonly mistaken for something that it is definitly not.
the cover up is a ton of flowers with a sow bug on one of the petals.

electrified monkey's face... no
happy meyer lemon face on fire... happy meyer?
10,000 flaming sperm bearing down on an egg that looks suspiciously like a happy meyer lemon-shaped electrified monkey's face... close
now i'm just embarrased (as i usually am about the tattoo. i've gotta make the cover up happen... quick.

sam did a beautiful job - we got all of the line work done today in just under two hours, and i go back in three weeks to get the shading/filling/final touches done.
last night i stood naked in my bathroom with cutouts of my soon-to-be-tattoo, holding them up to me, trying to get a feel for exaxtly where and how...

"Whew" is right. Very nice, that last part.

one of my tattoos is perfectly placed, but the design is bad. really bad. i'm in the cover up process, but it's really hard to know what you are going to love once it's on there. i'm glad that you changed your mind last minute.
i'm getting tattooed tomorrow morning. bright-n-early in the city - 10am with sam at black-n-blue tattoo.
i've been a bit apprehensive about it all weekend - not being completely done with the drawings, and wavering on the placement - but now the drawings are done, and i'm p.s.y.c.h.e.d!
so now it's time to go into the bathroom, strip, and hold the drawings to my body....

time for a new journal entry.
although my present situation is pretty mcuh the same as when i last posted, my outlook is much more positive.
"when you've got nuthin', you've got nuthin' to lose"
...it's true, but i've got so much - still, i feel that things are gonna be okay.
pretty lonely these days, though. everyone i love is either busy, or far...

stupid beer commercial with gravity in it........grrrrr.
okay i'm over it

time's running out, and i'm still just barely started. i didn't believe what they were saying about today's tight job market, but i sure as hell do now.

yo. I'm trying to get an east bay event together here.
it's another early morning here on Beaudry St. the toilet downstairs is still running. its high-pitched, hollow tone a distracting drone as i brush my teeth and look out into the courtyard below. suki winds herself up around my feet and ankles, fussing and meowing, as if it's possible that i haven't already noticed her. she hates to see the bottom of her bowl.

More stories = Happy J.
P.S. I'd better not be ousted from Loftiest of Lofty Positions when I get back I can't tell you what I'd do to get it back if that happens...

I can't tell you what I'd do to get it back if that happens...it's sink-or-swim time. i can't remember the last time that i was this financially fucked. it's getting harder to concentrate as each day slips by without my being any closer to having steady income. rent's due in 6 days and i'm starting to wonder if i'll be able to pay it on time. or at all, even. i'm sick with this.
it's times like these,...

Come be my pool boy. True, I can't pay you. True, I don't have a pool, but at least you'll feel better. I know I will...
In all seriousness, little homie, things get scary all the time and we always come out on top. We are capable of amazing feats of survival...just don't let the fear paralyze you, and keep being creative about what comes next. I can tell you're special, so I know you won't drown. My thoughts are definitely with you, as is my confidence that you'll pull through.
xoxoxo

Those could have been my words exactly, except that I'm not much of a worrier. We are also in the deepest financial water we've ever been in (see my fantasy in my profile) and neither of us are employed at the moment (although I start a temporary job in a week or so). It affects my husband a lot more than it does me, he's very much a worrier. He's more stressed out than I've ever seen him. THAT's what gets to me. His being stressed out stresses me out.
Anyway, I always find that things tend to have a way of working out. Live in the moment. Maybe that's my problem. Maybe I live in the moment TOO much and don't think enough about the future... Hmmmm...

Aw, that's so sweet about yer cat. I'm a cat lover myself, we have three of them.
How I ended up in ol' Lawrence... I'm actually from Canada, met my husband on line (of course, he was not my husband back then!), fell in love, and the rest is, well, you know. We're actually both ready to move on, but haven't decided where to go. What made you move to CA?

Hahahaa. Touche.
And I understood the translation, I just thought it was funny how it translated. But the point was clear. J'aime en levrette aussi.

even though i know you do, i'm hoping you'll say you "...don't, in fact, have work -- surprisingly-- why, what's going on the night of the 13th?"
sgsf comes to sj... i may have to skip out on elements for that.
