leaving for london in two days. i'm getting very anxious about it all. i'm really going to miss joel but i haven't seen my dad and my brother and my sister in so long. being back home in london is going to be incredible. evan called earlier today and we made all sorts of rad plans. i'm going pub hopping with him and some old school mates friday night. there's lots to catch up on with my dad's family. i suppose it'll be like always and we'll sit up late into the night talking my first night there. i'm hoping that the weather is cool. i can't stand all this heat and nice cool weather will be a fantastic change.

i have had such a lovely wonderful day today. since i had off from work i slept in late, cooked myself a nice lunch, lounged around the house a bit, treated myself to a nice long warm bath and then finally got around to doing all the little chores i've needed to do. i called rach and she came over a little while ago and right now we're pondering what to do.
our town isn't boring but it does take a bit of creativity to think of new things to do. we may go loiter at the mall a bit, go out to dinner and then just muck about town.

"Is This It"-The Strokes |
] |
now i remember what i wanted to post last night. my trip to london is being postponed for another whole week. my dad is out of town on a business trip and won't be back until next thursday. i was supposed to leave tomorrow. rather than being really disappointed i'm actually quite relieved. this means i get a week off from work to do what i please. i actually really need the down time. i am just going to rest and take my time packing and relax until i leave.
i did get a tattoo though! that is another thing i meant to mention. i got it sunday afternoon when i came back from visiting joel. it's really effing rad. i've had to wear cellophane taped over it which is sort of odd. oh well, it's worth it. even mum likes it. i can't wait to show joel. i'm glad he didn't go with me because i was sort of a ninny about the whole thing. i kept making these bloody awful faces. i'm a dork.

[plans]lay on the sofa and be a bum until i feel better. maybe i'll go for a run later.
i've had an uncomfortable afternoon. my stomach began to hurt around one and rather than come home early i had to be bloody stubborn as usual and stay at work, despite my boss' urgings for me to go home. i got stuck in traffic on my way home because of an accident. thus making my normal 10 minute ride home, over 30 minutes. *bah* the first thing i did was change into my comfy clothes and lie down on my sofa.
i feel like such a bum lately. i haven't worked out much at all in the past couple of weeks. i've finally recovered from having my bloody wisdom teeth extracted and now lately my stomach has been bothering me. *rarrh* i need to go to the effing gym. but i know i can't run and lift weights when my stomach has sharp pains in it. like someone stabbing me in my sides with a bloody ice pick. geezus.
on an entirely different note i've went all contemplative lately. i've been mulling over everything both past and present. all this introspection has certainly raised a lot of questions. maybe this is all a part of being bloody 18.

i really really don't want to go to work tomorrow. i like my job. i just don't want to get my lazy arse out of bed and sit at my desk for most of the day. i have realised that i cannot have a career that involves me sitting infront of a bloody computer all day. i will make me insane...seriously. it kills me to just have to sit there at my desk and work on the computer. i need to be up moving around, interacting with people and being creative. the days when i get to go out and take pictures and research things are fabulous. it's the days when i get stuck doing secretarial duties that are boring. *meh*
i just want to stay home tomorrow and paint and practice guitar and read. i have had absolutely no time to myself this weekend and it's driving me up the blinking wall.

i just realised that i need/want a haircut. my hair is getting too effing long for my taste. i know this because i can french braid all of it and not have any little pieces sticking up. i cannot stand long hair. not on me anyway. i like boys with longish hair. at least as long as mine anyway. i also feel as though i am going to get my auntie to put more redness in my hair. i am in a mood to change things. everything in fact. i all of the sudden feel quite impulsive. as though i need to run out right now (even though it's midnight) and get someone to cut my hair. rarrrh. i also miss joel. he is not coming to visit this weekend. as he was here all last weekend. perhaps i will go get a haircut tomorrow. and go buy more stuff. as though i need it. i would like the fungus amongus cd. and the lovely bones by alice sebold. and the mists of avalon. bloody hell i am a consummerist little brat. i simply cannot help it. it only serves to feed my rapid consumption of books and utter obsession with music. i do need new guitar strings though. mine are blinking gone to hell. ramble ramble ramble. i'm dead tired and it's only 12:16.

I went to the tattoo place again and checked out the final design of the tattoo I'm getting and it was so bloody rad. It's this stylised sort of tribal-v with the hindu ohm symbol incorporated into the center of it. I am so effing jazzed about getting my tattoo. Mum isn't too pleased, but she just shakes her said and says "it's your body, you can bloody well do what you please with it". I love my mum that way. She doesn't always approve of the things I do, but she never stands in my way or blocks me from doing things my way. Both her and my gram are firm believers of the let-them-learn-things-from-experience method of raising children. She has never hindered me from exploring things, because she supposes it's the only way I'll ever get a firm grip on who I am. It's partly because she's pretty liberal and tends to have a more European view on certain issues. Like weed & sex.
She has all these crazy artsy, hippy friends, who all have kids around my age and we all grew up mucking about each others houses, skinny dipping and what not. It's gotten to the point now where we'll all just sit at Brie's house and have a few beer. It's all quite enjoyable really. It's my hope that when I do get married and have children of my own someday that I can raise them in the same almost commune-like sort of environment.
I had an actual point to this post, but as I've gotten off on a tangent I've forgotten what it was. *meh*

You're rock, alternative, techo, and everything in between. You music varies from views on society, love, life, relationships, and emotions. You also like to write fun songs with funky lyrics like, "On this page, you see a little girl giggling at a hippopotamus, I wonder why?" You're like no other band out there, you cannot be compared, your lead singer is hot, and you're definitely unique and fun

I am still on a high about the whole incubus fall tour thing! I am the uber dork. I know. I don't think anyone I know shares my bloody enthusiasm for music. I get all excited about bands that I fancy. Like a bloody 5 year old at 4 am on Christmas morn. It's sad how effin consumed I am by it all.
I have had a brilliant day today though. Today was the first day that my mouth hasn't hurt me at all. My stitches have started dissolving out. I got a nice fat $350 pay check today. I went to the tattoo place today and talked to a guy I know there, who is going to do a final design of my soon to be tattoo. And it's only going to be around $50 because it's fairly small and all black. *eep!*

Let me tell you a little story on why I am the happiest girl on earth at this very moment....
Back in early spring I was quite disappointed at my inability to find someone to accompany me to see incubus at the Patriot Center. By the time I did, all the tickets were gone *sad face*
I was very depressed to hear that they probably weren't going to tour for a while so they could take a break before starting on a new album.
Today I came home from work to see in my e-mail that they are doing a fall tour and doing a show at the Baltimore Arena in September. Now I am the happiest girl on earth because I will NOT miss out on seeing them this time.
I saw them at HFStival 2001 for like 40 minutes, most of which I was in a daze because I got the piss beat out of me from being up on the rail. I missed them at Area: One and I missed them on Civic Tour. But I will go see them this fall. Even if I have to bloody well go by myself!

I am finally starting to feel normal again. I had to revisit the oral surgeon today because my jaw was throbbing and bugging the piss out of me, but he cleaned my mouth out with this little plastic syringe and injected some nasty tasting antibiotic goo into where I had my teeth removed. Graphic, huh? It tasted blinking terrible but my mouth feels surprisingly good right now.
I realised that I've talked lots about my mouth and my teeth but I completely failed to talk about my lovely 4th of July festivities. Like I mentioned earlier, Em came down to stay and partake of some independence day fun. We ended up running into one of my old friends from my freshman year of high school at Target who invited us to her little impromptu soiree. We went over to a mutual friend's [Bre] house, and cooked some delish chicken noodle cassarole type stuff and made a really yummy micro greens salad. Then my friend's [Gia, she's half Italian] older brother and his friend's came over to muck about with us. Bre's gorgeous 26 year old brother and his beautiful daughter were there as well. We sat around the dining room listening to music, talking, eating, dancing and having a few bevvies. After a good bit we all walked over to the local waterfront park and watched the fireworks. It was quite a lovely evening all in all. Em seemed to thoroughly enjoy everyone's company, which made me happy. I've decided that I need to re-kindle my friendship with Gia because she is the raddest effin girl in the world.
My sleepiness is starting to overwhelm me, even though it's only 10:00...I suppose it's to sleep for me.

My recovery from the extraction of my wisdom teeth has went surprisingly well. I've had to forsake my prescribed pain killers in favor of some extra strength tylenol, as it was wreaking havoc on my stomach. I abandoned taking it yesterday evening and have been doing surprisingly well on my over the counter tylenol.
Joel left around 5 pm today and I must say that he was a most diligent little nurse-maid. *tee hee* I felt a bit sorry for him having to be around my wretching and whatnot from my stomach pains. He didn't seem to mind though. That's some love. I don't think I could have taken it if I were him.
I feel very pampered and spoiled by this whole ordeal. Both Joel and Mum have been answering to my beck and call, fetching me ice for my slightly swollen face, preparing my drinks and food and what have you. Being a usually self sufficient litle girl it was sort of a nice break to be taken care of.
It's back to work tomorrow for me though. *sigh* My mouth still doesn't feel quite right but I suppose I'll manage and my editor says I can leave if I start feeling ill.

I got some kicky silver squarish wire frame glasses at the optometrist yesterday. They're actually sort of similar to my black ones but a little funkier perhaps.
Em is down for tonight and tomorrow night. She called me at random last night and asked if she could come for a visit. Tonight we're just mucking about the house but I believe we're going to try and get into some independence day festivities tomorrow. I'm making a conscious effort to avoid the beach though because it's always so bloody crowded and touristy around this time of year. Plus it's hotter than hell outside.
I hope it's really bloody chilly in London.
I get my wisdom teeth out the day after tomorrow...
Should be quite interesting.
I am feeling slightly better for the fact that Joel is sacrificing his weekend to baby a soon to be swollen-and-in-pain me. Maybe it won't be so chuffin bad afterall.

I find that I've been writing on here quite a bit more than usual. Odd.
Tomorrow is going to be a terribly busy day for me. Aside from going to work and doing my usual little workout at the gym, I've got an appointment with the eye doctor to get new glasses *huzzah!* and I'm starting my brief stint as a counselor at the local drama camp for kiddies.
I'm not quite sure what sort of glasses to get.
Perhaps some rectangle-ish black plastic geeky emo glasses.
Or maybe some lovely tortoise shell ones.
Depends on my mood, I suppose.
My former drama teacher/advisor is once again holding her drama camp.
She's asked me to help out and work as a counselor of sorts.
The kiddies are doing Joseph this summer, so it should be
quite interesting.
I'm hoping it will help with my lack of concentration. Maybe not.

I'm actually wearing my glasses right now because my eyes are all effed up and are hurting me. Joel is over right now and we're just lounging around the house. We went to the beach for the day yesterday and made a stop at the mall on the way home and I spent way too much bloody money on stuff I didn't really need. I bought the When Incubus Attacks Vol. 2 DVD, some more random clothes, a pair of shoes and a Saves the Day t-shirt.
Right now we're watching the new incubus dvd and Joel is giving me a hard time for my passion over Brandon Boyd. I can't help it. Their music is so chuffin wicked and they put on a brilliant live show, which is why I adore them in the
first place. But honestly, what girl isn't going to acknowledge the fact that Brandon Boyd is one lovely bloke?
Joel says I'm just trying to rationalise my "girly tween crush". *bah*

It's so chuffin hot outside today. It's like 95 degrees but it feels like 100+. After work I went to the gym to work out and I thought I was going to die of heat exhaustion before I was done. So now I'm home sitting in my bathing suit because it's too hot to wear real clothes. I'd go swimming but even the pool is too hot. It feels like blinking bath water now.
I've been in such an odd mood lately. I am back into my temporary lapse of something like ADHD. It's terrible being unable to focus on anything, as I'm usually the opposite.
