I have faith your inner SG will come out once you put on that lingerie and crank up the burlesque beats. I'd suspect performing for someone you hope to, um, impress would increase the sense of excitement for you. Have fun. You sure sound smart enough to know how to excite another's brain.

Hopefully, your friend will rationally examine what's occurred. Naturally, we'd all prefer that our feelings not get hurt. But it does happen, even among friends. Not that she has to like it, but she can't expect that it can't ever happen.

Off to see SG Burlesque tonight! Thanks for the preview.

Tapes, dangerous beautiful things.

I wish I was going to the burlesque with you. I'd love to meet you. I hope you enjoy yourself.

You know what's odd is that I normally wake up between 7:30 and 8 every morning, regardless of alarm clocks, and I enjoy it -- except this morning when I had to get up. I guess that will teach me for volunteering opening shifts.

The best thing that happened to me today? While those moments are few and far between lately, I suppose it was seeing my former Yoga teacher at work. Such an interesting and kind woman (and I should really get back into Yoga).

i don't feel pathetic, or weak, just cognizant of what's important to me and how i am going to have it. so i guess that's a good thing, right?

Sounds like the definition of calm to me.

Reminds me of an artist from the nineteenth century, and I don't remember who, whose skies were incredible: vibrant and glowing. A physical geography teacher of mine related the intensity of this painter's skies to the fact that the atmosphere was filled with ash from the Krakatoa (I believe) eruption. The ash was affecting light and reflection.

and i'm stuck in a track house in suburbia... you make your place sound almost glamorous in its difference to my dwelling.

It's not as glamorous when it's 100 degrees in here, or there are drunks fighting outside my window. Or the sirens wake me up again.

I miss you.

I second that.

are you justifying a booty call?

Digging the happier you! But, don't beat yourself up too much, cool? Sometimes shit just doesn't work, and that's the way it's supposed to be. Sucks, but sometimes it's true. I still love my ex to death, but we're just wrong for each other. It's not her fault, and it's not mine, we're just different people and expect and can give different things that don't match completely. We're still great friends because I think we both know it and don't hold it against the other. May not have anything at all to do with what you're talking about though.

In any case, keep being happy, sista', it looks good on you.

So what are you gonna do / have done? I'm intrigued now!

Just make sure you don't end up writing tiny reviews for Zagats. That's a dark and lonely road, baby, and I've seen too many people turned into hollow shells due to restaurant rage...

i really don't understand the whole getting hit with hard paintballs thing either...

i went to the store a couple of days ago with the express purpose of buying milk and only milk...and 80 bucks later i walked out with a full grocery cart only to then realize that my car was still full from emptying my storage unit like a week ago...sigh..

i've - strangely enough - been thinking of elliot smith a lot lately, and i think you're right, his music does sound somehow altered now, in some ways i find it hard to listen to at times, i have to be in a really specific mood, which i didn't before.

chai lattes are my fuel, i went from being sort of addicted to jasmine tea for a while to those. yummy.

i don't think I need to feel real. I'll settle for just feeling good. for now. i'm hangin in there.

The only artist from that group of which I am sort of a fan is Kristin Hersh and I only have one LP of Hunkpapa and the cd University from her Throwing Muses days. As for the others, I like each song, but don't know that I'd want a whole cd of them. The Smaller song is exceptional, though.

Long story... My best friend, and ex, K found a compilation cd called Volume when she was in college in Fairbanks. Getting indie and brit music wasn't easy up there, so she bought it. Then she discovered that they released a new one a couple times a year and not only was the cd usually filled with lesser known artists, but many of the songs were alternative mixes, demos, etc, and there was a thick booklet with interviews from every participating band. It was actually very cool. Anyway, she had eight of them when we met and I found her eight more while we were together. They became quarterly releases in 1993 and became two cd sets starting with number fourteen in 1995. I was not a fan of most of the groups and some of the songs absolutely suck, but now that I have more appreciation for rare tracks, I burned my own copies and have relistened to all of the cds. So this compilation is my favorites of the Volume compilations. Unfortunately, they seem to have mysteriously gone out of business after number seventeen.

(From one of the threads on the boards) I grew up listening to my 45 and LP collection - doo-wap, Stones, Guess Who, CCR. The first albums I received as gifts were Elton John's Greatest Hits and ELO - A New World Record because my cool uncle liked them (he's now only my sometimes-funny, somewhat loser uncle). The first band I liked without any family influence was Cheap Trick. Then came Zeppelin and other classic rock types. Then came college voice lessons and choir and I found I liked groups like Tears for Fears and Depeche Mode. During that time I accidentally discovered community sponsored radio and college radio and found Husker Du, the Replacements, Soul Asylum, Soundgarden, Spot 1019, etc., as well as Kate Bush and Cocteau Twins. In my 20's I listened to a lot of adult contemporary. I have eclectic tastes.

i never see my dad, but my mom and i are sort of best friends, i look out for her, help her do her taxes and stuff... soemthing funny about seeing your parents differently a syou get older, more as people in their own right rather than being specifically your parents, if that makes sense.

mmm. sarah harmer is good. actually lots of good sarahs. sarah mclachlan. sarah slean...

my pre-bed routine involves reading til tyhe words blur, headphones, and something soothing to listen to. of course, i do have the worst insomnia right now coupled with a creative roll i'm on.

*sigh*

speaking of updating journals...
I mean, nothing.

u seem to have it all figured out. sometimes u can't physically be good to people, sometimes they have to just know it. and i used to beat myself up over it all the time. but not having enough time left for everyone seems to be part of life. take care.

I have yet to hear the new Sarah Mclachlan album. Trying to find the new Rasputina is impossible here. Fuck this town.

Mmm, salad.

I thought you said "all of my male friends". That's because I skim.

My favorite fact about Gatorade is how it stays the same color thorugh the entire digestion process. And goes directly to the sweat glands.
