come on eileen....

went to 80's night at club congress in downtown last night. good times. wasn't feeling super hot... but still managed to dance with jen to "hey mickey you're so fine."

called out of work again... god, i never ever want to go back!! this is becoming a problem LOL

classes begin on the 17th...

no idea really what to type in here anymore. my triple latte is yummy. sun is shining (almost too bright... hard to see the screen...)...

and the trolly goes by...


so, there's this homeless dude going on and on about how tucson is all fucked up and horrible now and that it's all communist about it... blah blah blah... and then in the very same breath claims about how much he hates queers...

people are fucked up.

if he tries to bum another cigarette off me, i'm going to have it out with him, so let's hope he knows enough to leave well enough alone.

being back in tucson sucks. i'll agree with the slimeball on that. i had my first day back at work yesterday. it was okay. we're in our busy season now. a good thing. i need money for school and rent to carry me thru the slow season.... i'd also like to change jobs sometime after gem show.

but for today, except for the stupid bum.... who i can tune out with a simple twist of my ipod.... it's sunday, the trolly is going by... it's nice and warm, but not too warm.. and everything is good.

i heart vacation


<--- picture of the hotel we stayed in on the first night. right in downtown Flag. there's a pretty hot coffee/martini bar right under it, and a north face store right across the street. very cool place... supposedly haunted? i dunno... we stayed in the bob hope suite (hehehe) .

yesterday went to sunset crater volcano and the wupatki indian ruins just north of flagstaff. both very cool places... ended the very long hikes with a few drinks with a couple people at flagstaff brewing co. having a killer time up here. the weather is cold, but the snow is holding off. ...the one disapointment. was very much looking forward to it.

today, it's back to tucson this afternoon... with some really really amazing memories of flag.

tuesday's with brye

flagstaff, for all it's proximity... 4 hours from tucson... reminds me a lot of back home. all the pine trees and cold nights... is going to snow any day now...

snow's actually late this year, and flagstaff is hurting because of the lack of snow on the mountain (large ski resort here...) the local tribes are fighting to keep artificial snow off of the mountain, slowing down the ski season here... and it's hurting the local economy a lot.

hanging out at bryes tonight... watching movies and having beers. not horribly excited about going back to tucson... tomorrow, we're bundling up to go hiking at sunset crater and check out winslow... for song lyric purposes... maybe to the petrified forest, and painted desert... i've seen it before but ron hasn't.

anyway... gotta go. having a wonderful vacation.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

PICTURE OF PEARL, YOU'LL MEET HER LATER ON...

12.27.05


do people ever put their laundry in the dishwasher? i'm currently doing dishes right now, and the low hum of the washer is making me think...
it's not like i'm on skid. my complex has a great 24 hour laundry facility... but... what if it didn't? what if i was too lazy to walk down to the laundry room?
...i'll let you all know. i'd like to say that i'm more mature than actually going through with it, but... all i can see is this scene out of a movie where this tsunami of soap bubbles comes barreling at me and little man through my apartment. hehe...
ahh christmas... christmas came and went. christmas eve, i spent with ron out at the casino. they had this icons show. a bunch of drag queens doing madonna, cher, beyonce... nat king cole (?)... it was okay. got pretty boozed up. a jolly time, indeed.
christmas day, i worked during the day time. this world sometimes leaves me standing there in shock. people were jerks to us. impatient, lousey loser human beings.
really, if you're reading this... if you go into a restuarant on christmas day... as long as you actually get your food... shut your stupid mouths! honestly, i'm just asking for one day a year here, people. turn your shit off, and shut the f*k up.
now, that i have that out of my system.
i was pretty let down by the human race, and so when i got out of work around 2pm... i came straight home, and opened up a bottle of red wine, i had waiting, just in case this situation came up.
the wine was gone in like 20 minutes.
next thing i knew it was 230am. i had been invited to spend christmas day with my neoboyfriends family... but i let them to their own selves... and wished for my own family.
i made a very serious vow to myself this christmas day, that i will never do this again. that i will from here on out spend the days i feel are important, the way that I want to spend them.
ie. no more stupid ass hungry people (who probably weren't even that hungry... just lacking any sort of manners... or sense, with no respect for other human beings...) on christmas for me.
and infact, i think i myself will boycott open establishments on christmas day from here on out.
moving on... last night was a great night. went out with some friends, drank forever and ever and ever... and then we decided we'd smoke some pot out of a pear.
cause why not...
you put a group of waiters together, who got their asses kicked on christmas day... and TRY and tell them, smoking a bit of pot, and laughing, is wrong.
go ahead, i dare you.

anyway... so this is Pearl. she likes tori amos and close intimate get togethers with her friends. her aspirations include being juiced and included in a fruit salad when she gets older.

looking very much forward to vacation, starting friday. going to mesa/phoenix to booze it up on mill ave. for new years, and a trip up to flagstaff, and possibly out to havasu city, az to see the london bridge. (if that makes no sense to you, look it up... it's pretty cool.)
anyway, to you all, happy new year!
may it blow 2005 way the hell out of the water!!!

*********UPDATE!! HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!!! i'm up in Flagstaff right now. having a great vacation so far boozin it up with a bunch of new people. flag is a pretty cool town. nice to visit but seriously, wouldn't wanna live here full time.

new years was fun. ron, me, ron's brother, and his bro's roomie went to mill ave. in tempe. do you know, the dropped a big-ass Tostada Chip into a bowl of dip all new york ball dropping about it!!!

it was fun actually. lots of drinks and an irish pub. good times.

last night we stayed at the hotel monte vista. if you've been to flag, you know what i'm talking about. the big lit up hotel sign. yup, that one. supposedly it's haunted... and i dunno about that, but it for real was kinda creepy. we stayed in the bob hope sweet. it was fun.

now we're at bry's and kickin back for a night after a few drinks with some native-lesbians down at a local pub.

i'm good, guys. as for you: enjoy your new year!
