I had a fantastic morning.
I weighed myself this morning and learned that I lost 4 pounds this week. All in all, I've lost 22 lbs since the beginning of summer (June), 12 lbs since I got to Cal (end of August) and 6 lbs in the past two weeks.
Amusingly enough, I'm feeling realllly self concious at this point in my life. I've been...

I watched a fantastic documentary tonight. It's called "Favela Rising." It's about a former drug lord in a slum in Rio de Janiero who give up the drug army life and starts a program to get kids in the slums interested in something other than a life of crime.
It was one of those documentaries that made me say "holy shit that was all real."...

Oh Suicide Girls, you're such an amazing tool of procrastination.
I'm in this wierd half sad/half euphoric state.
Sad because I miss Sabrina a LOT, because I'm sick, because I have the week from hell ahead, and because I have WAY too much fucking homework (already!).

AAAAAAAAAAAH so jealous, TOOL TOOL TOOL TOOL TOOL!!!
Have to wait for another 63 dyas before I get to see them...
Then again I can't really complain, flying halfway around the world just to get the chance. Don't tell my parents cuz they're under the impression I'm flying to Holland to see them. Then again, I had to suck up a bit or I would've had to pay for my plane ticket myself and that would've sucked haha... But hearing from you how great it was is making me even more excited - and impatient!!! So I guess going around to say hi to my parents is a small price to pay hehe...
Haha I'm sitting here with goosebumps just thinking about it...
xox

It's been two weeks of some of the most intense stuff ever. 12 hour training days followed by at least two more hours of work.
My halls are finally decorated. The boards are up, doortags are on and I'm all set for my residents.
Which is good, since my residents move in TOMORROW. Or at least the triples do. Saturday and Sunday are going to...

And damn, it feels good.
RA training has been intense and time consuming, but fun. I have some seriously awesome co-workers.
My floor theme? Ken Kesey's Further Bus. If you dont know who Ken Kesey was, GOOGLE HIM.
I'm feeling kinda lonely, though. I don't know anyone on my staff well enough to "hang out" with them yet...And I only have...

I am so glad you enjoyed the new Alexsandria Shoot. Check out my journal for behind the scenes.
So have any of you fallen madly in love with someone, been seperated from them for a long time, then seen them again and fall all over again?
I have.
I spent all last night with her cuddling and having sex.
And now I'm watching her cook me lunch.
And it's amazing..
Why the fuck does she have to live on the other side of...

So it seems like my parents have noticed my increased queerness.
My mom keeps asking if I'm going to marry a guy. I ask her why it's so important to her and her response is so she "can have grandchildren." She ignores my comments about adoption/a sperm donor if i do marry a woman.
She's also making a lot of reallllly inappropriate jokes about my...

Actually I will be on a barge in Lake Washington off of Lake Forest Park. I'm surprised that they will let you in that close. Some of the pyro companies break the law and let boats in closer than they should, but it keeps the sponsors happy and the law looks the other way.

Making space for my parents/friends/relatives to articulate some of the real fears behind their stupid comments can help a lot. So often it's really instinctive, not-so-well-thought-out stuff and when they put words around the specifics they solve things for themselves.
The standard set of parental fears seemed to boil down to:
1)
"If you stand out as different people will judge you and/or hurt you."
2)
"If you stand out as different people will judge us and hurt us."
3)
"If you insist on being queer and we still want to be close to you it''ll make queerness a topic about which we'll have to think and make conscious choices rather than running our minds/mouths on automatic. Ick. Thinking and conscious choices are hard work."
Difficult to make space in which smart people can articulate stupid ideas, but if you're feeling generous enough to do it, that might help. Good luck.

My ex-girlfriend(ish) decided to tell me today about her "wonderful", "amazing" new girlfriend.
Completely unprompted.
It felt like she was rubbing it in my face. She even gave me her fucking Myspace address. I guess so i could go see what's better than me.
Ouch. That fucking hurt. I'm gonna go be miserable now

I hate when the x's do that. I recently got an email titled "Closure", funny I thought that a year without talking counts as closure.
I'm back in town for the next couple of weeks. Want to get together?

Holy shit.
I get to see Sabrina.

I've come to a few conclusions and made a few observations in the past two weeks.
#1- My mom is crazy. And still an alcoholic. She's back up to a bottle of wine a night.
#2- My dad is also crazy. And also still an alcoholic. And dying. His various diseases are really wearing him down. Especially the congestive heart failure. And as much as...

I'm in Berkeley pretty often, actually. It's where I get my fauxhawk done (Elixir); plus, I shop for my nerdy glasses at this great boutique on 4th Ave.
Losing weight does suck, but it's easier when 1) people encourage you in a kind - not condescending - way; 2) you have someone to be accountable to, besides yourself; 3) you can find an activity you enjoy that also happens to burn lots of calories!
So go kick ass! And being queer rocks!
