Ratatat the CobraSnake


So I bought this CobraSnake T the other day on ebay and can't stop wearing it. I wore it the other day with my dip-dyed jeans and totally felt like Cory Kennedy haha. Btw I don't know how people can wear skinny jeans, my ankles felt like they were being squeezed to death.

Went to Loren's paintball event in Canada yesterday, which they won! I think the Canadians hate us a bit more now since we ruled them in their own country. Ran into Frenchy, Nico, and Fraser which was cool since it's been forever since we've seen them. We're gonna get wings with them this saturday. The OB changed the day of the special so now we can go!



After the event we came home and got ready for the concert. Got there waaaay too early and had to sit around. The opening band was a little interesting, they looked like they were having a blast though. Then some rapper dude from NY came on and seemed too drunk to be doing a concert. Ran into Jason Radke and caught up on the last 5 yrs in like 20 min. He looked exactly the same and was super chill. Ratatat finally came on around 11 or so (doors opened at 8). At first Loren and I were on the side near the front but I wanted to go mosh and dance like a fool in the middle. Loren headed to the bar and I headed to the sweaty, dancing people. Let's just say the concert was very reminiscent of Girl Talk. I still had a blast dancing and letting go to the really loud music.

Moving to Stanwood


So first we had to load all of our crap into a huuuge truck. It took most of the day and reestablished the fact that I'm a wimp (at lifting heavy objects). Loren and I tried not to kill each other. Gravez finally arrived to save the day and move huge stuff. There's still a few more things left to get but almost done! Then we got to Stanwood and it was getting dark so we decided to go get some food at Amigos. It's the new El Git, but not nearly as good. Their jumbo margaritas definitely hit the spot though. After dinner we got back home and unloaded our stuff, which was way faster.


This is a web pic of our house! Today I unpacked and organized stuff around the house. Things are starting to fall into place and feel more like our own house. Also went grocery shopping which helps since we can eat here too! Now I have to go back to Bham to load up more stuff and start cleaning. Can't wait to jump into my sunken tub tonight!

Men Watch the New Moon


I finished New Moon last night, finally! It took me soooo long, compared to Twilight. It was definitely slower and seemed to take a while to get to the good stuff. It was almost a waste of a book, but I guess you got to introduce werewolves some how. I also liked how she described the pain of the one you love leaving you. Intense. But it was such a relief to finally be able to move on.

Now I'm reading Watchmen. After seeing the movie I wanted to get the full experience and get more background info. So far the movie has been pretty accurate with details and scenery. Alan Moore, the writer, is so cryptic with his writing that you have to reread things a couple times. That's why the movie seemed so dense, kind of like the Matrix. But I'm excited that I'll have read a popular comic book by the time I go to the Seattle ComiCon.


Yesterday, I made some dip-dye jeans with grey dye. I used too much dye and soaked the bottoms too long, I think. So they fade from white on top to grey in the middle and almost black on bottom. For $15 total they still look pretty BA. The Akdmk dip-dye jeans cost $65, so my DIY project was definitely worth it. I'm thinking I could also dye some cheap white jeans whatever color I want instead of spending $50 on some colored jeans.

Sometimes you need to be reminded


So today I watched both Napoleon Dynamite and Mean Girls. I forgot how great they are! It's funny to me that I can relate to both of them, even though they're so different from each other. Anyways getting on to the flippin sweet stuff, I went out shopping with Natalie today. She's having her birthday party this weekend and it's Bond Girl themed. I had an idea set out but decided to go look for a cute cocktail dress anyways. We went to Buffalo Exchange and I found this awesome shiny purple dress ($14) and some sweet clear, white rimmed glasses (just cus they were cool $9). Then we headed over to Value Village, which sadly didn't have what i was looking for. After that made our way to Ross, where i got some sick white jeans for only $10 and a hippie tank for $5.


I was also trying to fast today since Skinny Bitch recommends doing it every now and then. I did the easier kind of fasting where you have smoothies and soup. But unfortunately it still wasnt easy enough for me, i broke down and ate lol. I don't know how anorexics do it! I'll try again sometime later, it takes a lot of will but the cleansing it does to your body is worth it. As Regina George would say, "I'm trying to lose 5lbs."

Blogspot! Only cus Uber is gone


Well this is my first blog since who knows when. I don't really know what to write about at the moment. Update: I graduated! I still work at Angels and now I'm about to move closer to it. Hopefully this will give me a chance to finally look for a grown up job. Unfortunately I hate the pressure of telling people that I haven't done anything with my degree yet. But give me a flippin break people it's hasn't even been 3 months yet! I just want to live life anyways and make sure I don't miss out on all the fun stuff while I still have a chance (before I'm stuck in a job that won't let me go on a vacation). Nothing else to say at the moment.
