Nothing important...

I hear a train.

I like living next to trains.
Actually, I wish they were just a little bit closer.

That's all.

Oh yeah... and... I'm STARVING.

I don't think I've eaten today. And there's nothing to eat here. Well at least nothing that doesn't require some sort of semi-intensive preparation.

Oh my god... I could totally go for taco's from the taco stand by Chris's old apartment right now.
That sounds delicious.

My Tummy Hurts...

I don't like that.

It's Hailing/snowing again. Why is it when I'm at the library it seems to precipitate?

I have like a minute left on this thing.

I need to leave.

Chris got a place. I gotta find out if he needs help moving.

Bye.

Finally...

I'm moved.

And my body hurts so much I want to cry.

Now I must got get ready for a job which I'm way under qualified for. (Or which provides really shitty training, not sure which one yet.)

1. Get keys to apartment.
2. Send pictures of Hamish to people.
3. Get black button up shirt or solid black dress pants.
4. Pack a bit more.
5. Be at work at 3p.
6. Find Speeding Ticket and send out change of address.
* If can't find speeding ticket call State of Illinois.
7. Breath, Just Breath.

Anything else I can think of.

I must got drink coffee and wake up.

My legs hurt.

They're so freakishly dry right now.

I need to shave and moisturize the hell out of them. And start drinking more water. That's supposed to be good for my coochie too. Well, I think water is good for everything. To bad I hate water.

I think the garlic is working. For the most part symptoms are going away. But I'm still aware of my cooch. Which kind of sounds like a weird statement but generally on a day to day basis I'm not aware of it. (Unless I'm doing something cooch related.) Then again, Lesley pointed out that lately I'm quite often doing cooch things, whether it be looking up different cures, taking meds or probiotics or peeling garlic cloves and that's probably why I'm aware of it. It was a very good point. Jesus, what the hell did I do when I had a job and got a yeast infection?!?! This is basically becoming my job. But that probably has more to do with the fact that I'd rather focus on the cooch problem then the lack of employment problem. Cause the second one really freaks me out.

I had an impromptu interview with this restaurant/pub in Clackamas the other day. They called me sunday afternoon to set up and interview on Tuesday at 4p then they called me a few hours later asking if I could come in before that. Thinking they meant Monday I called back and said "SURE" and told them I was free all day Monday. The kicker..? They wanted me Sunday night. So I went in all cocky thinking I definitely had the job because who the hell would call someone in for an interview on a Sunday night unless they needed them to work on Monday? Right? Well it wasn't that easy. And who knows if I've got it or not. But it seems like they like me and I'm going in tonight to meet the mom (it's a family run thing) and the lead server. So... hopefully, hopefully I'll get the job. Jesus, I hope I get this job.

Lesley and I went and signed the rental agreement to our apartment yesterday. We move in the first or second though it sounds like they're going to let us start moving our stuff in a bit earlier, which is super cool. Awesome, Awesome people. We're very excited.

Last night I decided to give Lesley a driving lesson. She drives but not a standard and she keeps going on and on about how bad-ass it is that I drive a standard and how she needs to learn to drive one. Why it's bad-ass to drive a standard I know not but... hey, I like being bad-ass. Anyway, I kind of sprung it on her and told her that she was going to drive. After a bit of persuasion she agreed and got behind the wheel. The bitch did a perfect job. Didn't fucking stall once. Or peel out (which was always my problem when I was learning.) So we went around the block once then we had to go run an errand so I drove cause I wasn't ready for her to take my car on main roads. Late last night (early this morning) we went on a food run and I let her drive. Again, perfect. She did stall once but it's because she was stressing out because someone was behind her. (I was just glad to know she's actually human and does occasionally stall.)

I hung out with Chris the other night. We went and got coffee and drove around. I kind of wished we could have smoked but with my license plate being suspect and the fact that I was freaking sleepy as hell it's probably better that we didn't. We got talking about sex and sex styles and what not. Well mainly it was me talking with him asking stuff. At first it was weird but then I realized it was kind of cool because Chris is the only one of my friends who I never actually talk about my promiscuity. I don't know if that's because he and I have a sexual history or because the one time he brought it up he seemed a little uncomfortable about it. During our conversation I realized that it shouldn't be weird. He's my friend. Yes he and I do have a sexual history but so what and obviously he's not uncomfortable about it or he wouldn't be asking questions.

Wow. Speak of the devil. Lesley just brought me my phone and I missed a call from Chris.

Okay I'm gonna go call him and shower.

I didn't know I could be this tired...

Okay that's a total over exaggeration but man I'm exhausted.

Why?
I don't know!!

Well, yes, I kind of do. I went to bed WAY too late last night then
got up freakin early to help Elaine and Lesley clean there house/yard.
The landlord was coming over today with a realtor to check out the
house and "shambles" might be a bit of an extreme adjective it was
just short of that. Now, I'm basically crashing.
I think I'm going to take a nap soon.

Yesterday was a bit of a cluster fuck.
Lesley's sister needed to go to Salem to take a licensing exam so she
can work (legally). So she talked Elaine into bringing her to Salem,
I'll avoid the long drawn out story but it sometimes boggles my mind
how Sharon can be so inconsiderate. She doesn't think about anyone
else, ever. Basically what happened was that the test took way longer
than Sharon expected and Elaine had to leave to go pick up her oldest
at school. Sharon stayed in Salem without a car and no Money for a
bus. Everyone had stuff going on but me so I went to get her. Never
been to Salem before. It's kind of like a slightly larger Augusta.
To bad Jijibu dropped off the face of the earth or I would have looked
him up and drank coffee with him while making Sharon wait longer.
Yes, I know that sounds mean but she really kind of deserved it.

The other night I got a call from Chris, who was having a mega supa
bad day. I wont go into the details of that one because he would
probably shoot me if I did but he had a couple of shit days ending
with the breaking up of him and the girlfriend. I can't say I'm
sorry. Well, yes I am because breaking up is hard to do or some
cheesy lyric like that but he could do better. She was a sweet kid
but young and acted like it. He and I hung out for a few hours, ran
some errands with him, drank coffee, smoked a bowl. It was good
times. Simple shit but I had fun. It's been awhile since he and I
hung out. We made plans to make pho. Which I'm pretty fucking
excited about... Because pho is AWESOME. And to make some... that'd
be even better.

Lesley and I move into our new place next Sunday. I'm very excited.
Very very very excited. I'll be even more excited when I find a job!!
:-)

I need to go take a nap. My brain is complete mush.

PS. Lesley's truck is a mess!! (She told me to blog about her messy truck...)

Woot woot!

A few things...

1. We got the apartment, We got the apartment!! Yay.. Go us!
2. I quit the OG. I guess the technical term would be walked out of the OG but really... who's counting?
3. I got more free haircut via Shaz-a-fraz... and it looks FUCKING AWESOME. Red, holy red!
4. I had an interview today and I have one tomorrow. The one today was for a serving position at a pub & grill and the one tomorrow is for a bartender/server position at an Italian Restaurant in Hillsboro... which is kind of way the fuck out there but I'm going to go to the interview and find out what they're looking for. If it's for a few shifts a week I could handle that.
5. Have an appointment tomorrow for someone to find out what if anything is wrong with my Vajayjay.

Now... I must go to bed. Because the interview is fucking early.

Warning... Personal Stuff and Whatnot...

I think...

I think my Vajay-jay is broken.

Sad huh?

It could be a mix of things but somethings not right. Last time this happened was when I was sexing pretty much every day and I went to the doctors and they told me it's probably a latex allergy. It went away, I resumed sexing and nothing really ever came of it.

Now... I have been sexing a lot lately. And definitely more than the once (maybe twice) a week rotation I was in a month or so ago. Maybe that's it. But that's not fair. I like sex, I like having a lot of sex... why can't my cooch keep up?

I get this sort of feeling occasionally during or around my period (which should be starting any-day now) but I think it's because of the fact that I use tampons.

And on top of the broken Vajay-jay my uterus HATES me lately. (Lately being the past day or so.) Which I think means I'm going to start my period. I wish it would stop causing me so much pain and just start already.

I'm sleepy. Not sure why, well yes I know why.

I went to bed late, got up early. Cleaned, hung out, had a generally lazy day, then played with (watched) the kids for an hour or so while Andy and Elaine made dinner. Which was... exhausting. I don't know how they do it. Those kids are always on.

I'm babysitting tomorrow night.

What the fuck was I thinking?!?!

Hopefully, Hopefully they'll be able to put the kids to bed before they leave which means I can either watch movies or play online all night. God I hope they can put the kids to bed before they leave.

Otherwise...

Otherwise, I'm fucked.

Lesley and I found a fabulous apartment. It's at NE 60th and Oregon. Which is PERFECT. Because it's right across the highway from the Max. And it's a super duper cute little place. Hardwood floors, new... EVERYTHING, basement with washer/dryer hookups. We filled out applications today. Hopefully we'll hear back from them tomorrow.

I dropped off a few resumes yesterday. There's one place that I really want to work for. It's kind of funny because a few nights ago I was hanging out with the Terrorist and we were going over to the house of a friend of his and we went by this cute little pub which I noticed and commented on. Then when I was on craigs looking for jobs I found this place that was hiring and when I got there it turned out to be that little pub!! I think I might drop by tomorrow to see how they're coming in the hiring process... Good to show motivation and whatnot.

Ugh... My poor coochie...

Things I Miss... Part Deux.

Last night, while at work I got looking at pictures I had in various places... email, photo blogs and what not. It made me a bit nostalgic so I decided to post a bunch of these pictures because... well... they're pretty. But the problem, was that I had a very short amount of time to do it and most of the pictures I used were really small ones and couldn't really been seen all that well.

So... today... I dropped my shift at the OG tonight so I could go see a movie (I got free tickets!) and I decided to pick up a few hours at the answering service because I know both Jenna and Lisa wont care. :-) Now I have more time... so here we go...

More fun with pictures

Hideaway

This beautiful piece of heaven on earth is Hideaway Beach. It's just down the way from where the ship ported in Kahalui, Maui. I've taken many naps, gotten a nice tan and met some awesome people here. On cold Maine days like today when I can't feel my toes and my teeth wont stop chattering I want nothing more to be there getting pelted by sand the wind likes to throw around.

Morpark

This is my old building in Portland. It was the only apartment I've ever had by myself. It was FUCKING SMALL. But it was all mine and now, after bouncing from place to place and not having my own space for almost a year... I miss it terribly.

Pioneersquare

This is a photo from Pioneer Square. Pioneer Square was a big reason I wanted to move to Portland. I had never been there but Chris showed me pictures and told me stories and I fell in love. A love which only grew once I actually got there and saw it and spent time there.

Street

Last year, just about this time. I was walking around South West Portland. Specifically the South Park Blocks area. This is one of the pictures I took. I think it's kinda weird. And that's why I like it. :-)

Tree

This is a better shot (though still not great) of the South Park Blocks. This picture was taken on the same day as the one above. (I think, though it has been a long time and my memory is fading with age.) Jesus, I miss Portland.

Dress2

This is an oak dresser that I LOVED. Even though it was heavy as fuck, which is never a good thing when one moves around as much as I tend to do. I sold it before I moved to Oregon. Now, I'm kicking myself for that. I should have kept it. But I guess it doesn't matter because I couldn't get it out to Oregon. Doesn't mean I don't miss it though.

Garg

This gargoyle was given to me by Nathan. It was a "I'm sorry you couldn't go to Disney with us so I got you this" type of gift. I don't know where it is. Actually I had forgotten I had it until I saw the picture. It's got to be in storage in Gresham. I'll see it soon enough. (I Hope)

JapGarden

Ahhhh... the Japanese Garden. If ever there were a place to go and just Breath and Relax this would be it. The most serene, calming, peaceful place you could ever imagine that is actually in the middle of a city.

SandGarden

This is the sand garden part of the Japanese Gardens. GORGEOUSNESS!!!!

Mt.Hood2

I miss Mt.Hood (which I guess is obvious being that it's in a post of things I miss) I used to HATE riding the Max to and from the Airport because it took so damn long. But one part I loved was the view we had of this Mountian. I never made it to the actual moutian but I used to love viewing it from afar.

Mt.St.Helens

This is Mt.StHelen. Not a very good picture of Mt. St.Helens but you can see it. It's an active Volcano! Was rumbling a lot when we first decided to move to Portland. Then it calmed down a bit. Then started up again when we were in Portland. Though no major activity. (To Bad.)

Buildings

This was taken shortly before a fairly major thundershower in Portland. Though I can't say I miss this specific buildings... I miss Portland. And I like this picture. :-)

Max

This is the Max. It's the light rail portion of Tri-Met. (Portland, Oregon's transit system) I used to ride the Max a lot. Everyday actually. I loved it and hated it all in one.

Pride of Aloha

I hated this thing soooooo freakin' much. Wednesday boat drills, cabin inspections, having to live in tiny spaces with people you want to kill. Working 70+ hours a week. Not sleeping for 5 months. It FUCKING SUCKED. But... it was also one of the best experinces of my life and I miss it like you wouldn't believe. So much so that I've been thinking about going back.

That's it for now. I miss my iPod too. But that's been covered and I don't have any pictures of it. I need to go get ready to go home.
