I do it on purpose and I do it out of humor.

Gosh friends are important. I had some extra time today to just think about how nice it is to have incredible friends. Lately, I have been considerably reassessing the quality of the friendships I have. I have only a handful of friends that have left an enunciated tattoo on my life and I'm thankful for those few and I miss some of them a whole crap ton. :)

Yeeeeah, enough with the smushy stuff. I'm tired of people not being careful and considerate. I know some may say that I'm one of those people but the difference is I know when I'm being brash or impolite. I do it on purpose and I do it out of humor. Normally, at the end of my mean joke or rude conversation the person I'm talking with leaves laughing and possibley a bit refreshed. It's the people that arn't conscience of it that drives me NUTS! It peeves the shit out of me when people say things that are clearly understood. Like when you are running late and the person that is waiting on you says, "You need to hurry." Or something like, "It's not cool to be late." or one I just reciently heard, "This is your job." I had to bite my tounge not to say, "Oh yes, that's right, I forgot I was employeed here. Compleatly escaped my memory. Golly, thank you so much for the reminder." I'm just saying that there are somethings that are flat out obvious and are just splat out. Let's use our productive words. OOOOOhh venting. It's a beautiful thing.

And so are friends.

I just know I looked like a friggin tomato.

I had a good day at work today and I'm digging the crap out of this weather! I have such a pretty view from my apartment. I'm starting to feel more at home that's for sure, granted there is a rock band playing at all hour of the day and night and I think I just heard some chanting coming from the other building.
So After work, my friend Corina invited me to go to a poetry open mic night at a cute little coffee shop on Congress and 7th st called The Hideout. I had never been to one and I'm glad I went. My favorite were these 2 guys that did some sort of impromptu poetry rap. I can't for the life of me remember what they called themselves but they travel around the U.S. to find little coffee shops and just spat out poetry they make up in a really creative way.
They were way better than I was. Ha, yes. Corina convinced me to read a poem I wrote. I did it before it got crowded thank god. Oh man was I nervous. I can't figure out why the heck I was so dang nervous. My voice never cracked but my hands were clearly shaking and my face got so hot. I just know I looked like a friggin tomato. Good grief I was in one act play in high school and I did really well in public speaking for crying out loud. Haha I guess it's true what they say about if you don't use it, you lose it. I did it thought, which I think says a lot, and I had fun doing it.

I feel like a trash bag.

I have decided it is time to take a trip to beautiful Hamilton. I miss my Lola so much and my roommate has agreed to let me keep her here in Austin for a week or so. YES! I'm so excited. She is exactly what I need right now. I think it is funny how no matter how pissed off or down I am, just seeing a puppy or being around Lola makes it better. Blah. I feel like a trash bag right now. It's cold and yucky outside. My head hurts. My friend got hit by a car. I burned my finger last night. I don't have any fingernail polish remover. And if I get called a hippy one more time I swear I'm going to shank someone. So I think it's a good idea to run to Hamilton and pick up Lola. However, I'm not looking forward to the long ass drive. Gosh I wish I could teleport.

Way bigger than any baby's first steps.

So I just found an ad on Craig's List for a "spoonbending"class. I must say that I'm pretty impressed to know that if I want, tomorrow I can learn how to "make inanimate objects move with your intent, and how to bend cutlery!" Man alive! I never thought the day would come. AND it's only $10. Ooh, I don't know. I think I might just go by to see what it has to offer. I wonder what the hell they mean by cutlery? I guess if I could bend that, then I could probably do some really neat stuff.

Work today was fun. I was working right in front of the Austin Convention Center where there was an international spa convention going on. I was having a lot of fun looking at what everyone was wearing and enjoying the nice weather when all of a sudden a squirrel bolted the street and peed almost right beside me. Shocked, I tapped my friend on the shoulder and told him to look at what profound activities the squirrel was partaking in. Both equally shocked we stood and stared as the rodent finished his business. It wasn't long before we realized what we had just witnessed. So of course the evidence was immediately documented via picture phone and sent to all my friends that (I figured) had never seen squirrel pee. This was way bigger than any baby's first steps so I thought it only seemed necessary. You can thank me later.
