Hello world. Been working. NO LIFE FOR ME. I've spent more time at work in the last seven days than I think is legal. I wish I could do 24 hrs shifts, but no. 18 is the max I can do. A bit of drama with paperwork and residents throwing themselves on the door for attention but it's all good. The only downside is I EAT SO MUCH AT WORK THAT IT IS RIDIC. Everyone has food, so it's always some free for all at work, and damn, working on all the shifts means me talking to everyone and sharing food. I brought in 30 egg rolls from King Eggroll just because I was in the mood and my buddy Brenda swore up and down that she would try it, so I can drag her there and make her eat there with me every day. I love that place. The cabbage that they slip in the egg rolls are sooooooooooo GOOD. I can't get enough. I want it now.

Um.. So I'm working and I will be happy with this paycheck, but what does it matter because I won't get getting my Sgt. Pepper outfit that I wanted made for Halloween in time and that just bums me out. I really, really, really, really, really wanted it since our theme at work is "Famous People". I don't want to do MJ because everyone is going to be MJ this year (that and Gaga, you know it's true.) so I figure just be a zombie. If I had skill with horror/gore makeup, I'd be a zombie that looked like it came out of a Lucio Fulci movie. So we'll see, if I'm not lazy and actually get out there and go shopping. There is a giant new Nordstrom Rack opening up this Friday, I figure I'd buy clothes from there and rip them up. But knowing me I'll be a lazy fuck and bum around taking pics of everyone else on Halloween. Grr.

I was suppose to go to the Casino for another overnight trip on the 20-21st, but I lost SO MUCH MONEY when I went on the 4th, I played won and lost xxx3's more than what I won. Blah. But I had lots of fun, great swimming, great spa area, great eats, great company. *_* So I figure that I might as well as skip it and work, so I can make up for lost $$$. Use that money to go shopping when I drive down to SF on the 24th.

Been listening to Macca like as if my life depended on it. TONS OF ALBUMS in my lap. So beautiful, just digging them out of boxes and relistening to them makes me so, so, so, so, happy. FLAMING PIE IS SO MUCH BETTER WITH AGE. I remember walking to Tower Records in the 90's and buying the album for around 16.95 and there was a listening party and I sat around with old white men talking about the albums. I was a kid in the 90's and went to tons of listening parties and clubs when the anthologies and all the Macca stuff came out. I always went alone and always went on foot. I think I was 15 back them, how odd I was. I never really made any friends, besides the old white dudes, but never really anyone my age. (I say white, because it's what stood out to me in my mind, the straight laced white dudes in suits and ties who listen to Macca, I dunno. Old school-beatle fans?)

.. LOLZ. And people say music is expensive now! 16.95 was and still is a lot for a cd and this was back in 95-ish, when my parents would give me a 20.00 every once and a while and send me on my way to Tower Records on Blossom Hill where I bought my first cd, ever. (It was Magical Mystery Tour.) I had a big cd player that I kept in my pocket and it would skip when I ran home so I could sit and read the liner notes.

I will cut this entry short because my sister just came back from LA and I have been waiting endlessly for her.

Ok, I had this crazy cold that was kicking my ass, so I sucked it up went to the Doctor, got a nasopharyngeal swab which was interesting. Always read about it, always watched it get done but never really had it done to me. The tingling and stinging was crazy painful and I coughed for like ten minutes straight. He will call me tomorrow to let me know what is going on. Until then sleep, rest, drink fluids and just rest. I went to work yesterday from 5am-3pm and then slept from 4pm till 4am this morning so my body is all kinds out of wack. I have been drifting from room to room, out of boredom mostly. Figure with my time off, I WILL do my reviews and get them up. So first, the Vegas trip. Tons of pics under the cut. Yay. Also, a unusual amount of George Wallace ads are under the cut as well, you have been warned.

With all my time spent at GDC, I don't think I'll ever get those reviews up. Every time I am ready to sit and write and share and upload pics I get side tracked. Bah. I at least want to do a picspam but it'd have to wait. The weather is insane with the residents doing a full on riot at work where they didn't want to go outside for the "Hawaii dance off" the activities people were doing. Came down to pushing walkers down and throwing blows. Glad I was able to run off because I didn't want the party in the first place. Gave my coworkers their gifts, we went out to eat, we are going out again next week because they really want to sit down and EAT. (They do the whole starve-yourself-all-day and do the 5 course thing at night.)

In other news my computer had an issue today, I was transferring some music for a friend and while the cd was reading, I was dragging files to the desk top and the disc exploded inside! It was a large smashing/pop noise and I opened the drive to find pieces of my cd. It took ages to get out and I was so annoyed. I backed up some stuff and the drive still works but there is still ONE more piece of the disc in the drive, but I can't get it out for the life of me. I had to disconnect everything to really sit and take out the pieces, so now my resolution of my monitor is all funny and blurry. I get a headache just looking at the screen. Argh. PAIN. Someone needs to help me with this.

I am exhausted from all the traveling, I think next time instead of back-to-back shows how about doing a show a week or something? Next time Green Day comes back, I want to see them in NY and will def. fly out to a meet and greet (if they do them again). More shows but more spaced at. AND floor seats. It has to be floor. All my friends were on the floor in sac. Made me sad I couldn't be with them. I was looking over my old-OLD lj entries (it's all private, I think from 07-down..) and I am looking for this Green Day fic that I recced about Billie Joe and Tre and I can't find it for the life of me and it's making me sad. I just want to angst over old epic fanfic that had me bawling when I was 21. Grrr. I use to and can still quote that fanfic. I use to USE lines when I was dating losers at 24. Ahahahaha. I had no game. (I still don't!) My Uncle is on match.com (My uncle is who a year older than me.) and he is meeting people left and right and he swears I should use it but now more than ever, after all the traveling and summer, I realize I don't like anyone at the moment. I did but that is soooooo long gone (MY EYES HAVE SEEN THE LIGHT. THANK YOU GOD.) and it feels good to just focus on myself and G. Like I've always said, "Single, but taken."

September schedule for work is ridic. I will be living at work. Twitter will be my life, entertain me. PLS.

I am home from Las Vegas from seeing Green Day. I leave to the last two shows of the tour tomorrow. Monday in Sac and Tuesday in LA. GDC people, I can't wait to see you all in sac! Green Day was crazy, Las Vegas (crazy!) and everything else was good. But COME ON, the show before and after mine they play '2000 Light Years away'. I got tears out of the frustration of it all. I have two shows left. I need to hear this, give it to me Green Day! Don't do me dirty!!

Ps - I hate to sound like I am complaining, but man, out of all the Green day shows I've been to in my life, give me the ONE song I want to hear the most. Pure frustration. Going to go sulk in a tub and then get my review up.

ETA: Before I go rest I wanted to add the greatest:



A teaser if you will..

I haven't really posted, POSTED in some time. Been busy, not with work but more with my time off. Been out living life with my cousins, late night bike rides with my sister and trying to reconnect and calm the eff down with an ex. All in all, good times. Plus my net has been off/on and slow as hell and I haven't really seen/read much on lj. WHAT DID I MISS?

When I do have decent net access, I have been living at gdc and they have a great bunch of people and I have spoiled myself endlessly with this tour. I just can't wait. Before I could just go about life and be like, "OH WOW, it's the 15th already? I got a show to go to tonight!" but not for Green Day, I count down the days and beat myself up over how it'd go. I wonder about all the old friends I'll see at the San Jose show, the surprise I have in store at the Sacramento show, the epic Vegas show and I praypraypray they play 21st CB in it's entirety at the last show in LA. See? Beating myself up. I angst over these things. I am GREEDY. I want to hear 21st CB in it's entirety again.

Been listing to MJ endlessly on a loop. I actually have been before his death, BAD is easily the third most listened album on my ipod. First is (of course) TBP and second is AI. (Typical!) But with his death, fans have been coming out of everywhere and some are making great graphics and I have to share this link! TONS of wallpapers from most of his eras. The Captain EO one had my floored. WOW. I think I'm set for the year. Another great post on livejournal, not Mj related but NKOTB related is this, widgetchick did a great write up of an end of an era/fandom. Can we really call it an end? Sure I've talked shit and lurked and watched with glee at the drama, but I've got to know some really great people like widget, emobeauty, catdecember, fautedemieux73, debbie and so many more people. You guys are crazzzzzzzzzy but I love you guys.

I just put in my hair a while back punky's midnight blue and it still looks good. I need to touch it up, but before that I really want to an appointment in to do some bleaching but all my days off are filled up. That and I get paid NEXT week, so I should wait, I want cash to tip the poor woman who will be doing my hair. I tip easily 20-30 dollars alone. I want to try something local but all the ladies people recommend to me aren't English speaking. I want to drag a coworker along but no one is willing to sit and wait, it is a dreadful process but I'm going to suck it up and ask the ward clerk if she can come with me. I really want more blue.

It's kinda weird to say this but with MJ's passing, more than ever I don't want to so uptight or stress out so much. I try to be nicer. I try to be more honest. Plus I want to be surrounded by all the right people, considering MJ had none at the time of his death. I have been spending and talking to F more and more. He was the guy I met at the FB HT show last year and one of the best guys I ever got to date. We hang out, talk on the phone and it feels good. I was a loner and I loved being alone but now as I get older, it's just dreadful. Even just being alone in the house when my sisters aren't around makes me a little sad. I don't need people, I am far from clingy but it's just nice having someone around. He is not always around since he lives a bit far, but that's ok. I was never the type to want to see my bf every single day. (That is madness! My sister is like that. How does one do it?) It's just nice to have someone who doesn't judge my diagnosis, he is one of the only that I can talk to about it that isn't my Doctor. So yay? But we aren't dating, he knows I am interested in someone else. But says he is willing to wait. Normally I would run screaming but that is loyalty that I need at the moment?

Some pics of the casino trip. All off my phone. We just swam and hung out in the sun. I did gamble once, won 60.00 and got out and read the rest of the night. Yay. I'm so boring, but no one seemed to mind. The room and it's beds were nice and plushy. The TV selection sucked, but I never put in any real value in television. ( Read more... )

ETA: Jason keeps it real. RESPECT! POWER OF MJ!

I am sorry for the lack of postage. I have been very busy. Went to LA to give respects to Michael. I didn't take much pics, as much as I wanted because it was a bit of a circus there and some places didn't want flash. I wish I took pics of all the merch I saw in LA. It was a crazy weekend. Some of the pics, not all, some are huge, I have them under the cut and thumbnailed. Enjoy!

Today Michael would have had his first show at the 02 arena in London. It hurts so much that he is gone. It hurts more that only in death people give praise and have a new perspective on him.

LA this weekend. THANK GOD. I need a break. Tomorrow will be my 7th day, of 12 hour shifts. Day 5 was an 18 hour shift. I haven't been going to the gym, I feel dreadful. Not happy with my crew. I love my AM shift, but I hate being put on the spot whenever there is some sort of confrontation and I have to speak for my crew to the boss or any other type of authority I have to visit. Today was weird with the human resources people because someone did something to my file and someone switched me from Full Time for the last four years to part time and that made my rate and status do something funny. For a milisecond there they weren't going to bring me back to my full time status and I marched right up to my Boss, the big boss, who I have been nothing but loyal to since day one she came to the building and she put in writing that I'm full time status and her right hand man. LOLZ. No lie, that's sweet. It's nice to know she can trust me 100000000% and goes to bat for me. Oh work, you have been killing me lately. There is so much tension at the place, that the things I COULD tell you all but it'd be TMI. Really, you don't want to know.

Anyway, LA this weekend, a nice long three days. Going to see the MJ exhibit. Hopefully I don't die in traffic, it's been a while. Harry Potter in what? A week. No Doubt in three weeks. Then tons of birthday parties to go to in August, but August only means one thing. TWO WORDS: Green Day. Hopefully after the tour, I'll get my lyrics tattooed on. Ahahaha. I'm soooooooo lame, but it has to be done.

ETA: I broke my phone and now have this blackberry that is killing me. So I'm so, so, so, so, so, so sorry that I haven't texted or texted half ass or have dropped/missed calls. SO many people called me over AX that was the time the phone busted. I hate to give people the run around or the impression that I'm not getting back to you. So it's my phone, it sucks. It's still taking like 5 mins to text someone back. I have tons of voicemails but no idea how to check them. It sucks. I need to buy a new phone soon. I say it before, I say it again, just give me a call and if I don't pick up, I'll get back to you, I promise.

When I had time off I was watching a ton of Vh1 reality shows and Daisy of Love is so ridic and addictive. First it has my first real reality tv love, 12pack but then it introduced me to Dope's bass player who goes by (sadly) the nickname Sinister on the tv show. But holy hell, that guy is attractive that it's madness. I watched all the episodes and he is just so dlfgkjglkmdkgllssgs, AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW. So cute. So hot. So funny. I thought his hair was a wig for the longest time. It's SO black, it had to be fake, but he tied it back in one episode and .... BLOW AWAY. Plus he's 5'5. WIN.

Green Day is just pumping out the videos quick. The preview for 21 Guns is kinda meh. Not too happy this is the next single, because really, I could think of others that should be singles. But me thinks they are aiming for another Blvd. Think it'd happen? No. But I could be wrong. In the preview of the video there is JASON! OMG! Finally, I see one of the Jason's getting screen time! FINALLY.

Finally booked my flight and hotel to LA for the last Green Day show. I just doubled check and there is only one date on ticketmaster and not two. Last show for the first leg of the US tour. Aww. It will be exciting times. I need to start looking around for a good digital camera to buy. Something better than the Canon and the Nikon. Help? I want at least 10 MP.

Reading a biography on Shahrukh Khan. It's very funny, poorly written (which saddens me, because he is a stud!) but I don't see to many books on Bollywood that don't focus on Aishwarya.

I should go to sleep. I have to work tomorrow and go to the gym. My friend Mina dragged me into her crazy world the other day and we got 12 weeks to do something. Fail? y/n? We will see.

Ran around and did what I have to do to prepare for Disneyland. The drive isn't going to be so bad. Four hours tops, I bet. I did go the library, dropped off my books, picked up three more, ran into some friends at the store. Went to King Eggroll, had lunch, went to the post office, mailed off another DR payment. (14.81, WAT. That's it!?) and came back in time for AMC. I love weekday mornings and no crowds. Just in, out and DONE.

Today my eye is meh. The swelling is down but that bacteria is still there. I didn't take the Cipro, so we shall see. I'm just wearing sunglasses everywhere I go. I THINK it looks funny. Next week is going to be ridic. Next week I gotta buy those Blink-182 tickets, the Miley tickets when she comes to SJ, book my flight and hotel for the 4th Green Day show, hopefully place an order for my Lady Solo wig, buy a new suitcase and pay for AX. (Don't know if I'm going, just waiting on the person I'm going with to give me a straight answer. WHAT IS MY LIFE? I LOVE IT!

Updated my mothers ipod. OH THE HORROR! She likes R&B/RAP/HIPHOP and all that mainstream stuff. It was a PAIN to do. I don't ever want to hear another Nelly or Missy or whatever song again! Although I'm intrigued by the Pink that I heard. Hm.. My coworker was begging me to go see her with her, so I might.

I should be updating girltype_365 any minute.

ETA: WORK DRAAAAAAAAMA~ The coworkers came to visit me AT MY HOUSE. Lolz. Basically I made my switch from departments because I didn't like working with my partner that I have in the Therapy department. (The switch occurred on the May 24-ish.) So basically partner had a massive fight with all the other people in other departments today, esp. the dietitian who told him to gtfo. (She don't play!) So the boss is asking me to please go back to the Therapy department. So I sadly, said yes. ANGST. So this weekend, I got work stuff to do to get my stuff together for the month. Damn, I just moved all my gear out of the therapy room. Maaaaaaaan. Why this always be happening to me? Blahhhh.

oh punky colors, you are my bbf. after murdering my hair this morning by color stripping some parts. i attempted a new color, i won't really know how it looks until it's dry. but it's darker for the winter. i cringe at the bright purple, that was good for end of summer, but not now. so basically it's been pink -> red -> orange (not by choice!!) -> purple and now -> dark blue? we shall see.

i'm proud of myself, already unpacked and cleaned up *everything*. i usually sulk and do it a week later, but i get back to work tomorrow and tomorrow will be me working overtime almost every other day. plus i have been slacking at the gym, i lifted no weights in a whole week. (fail) i'm getting a new blue (what color SHOULD i get) 16gb to carry around. my video ipod is shot to hell with a battery life of 2 hours tops. i had it for almost three years, so i figure it's time to move on.



donald SHOUTOUT. omg, i love him sooo much.
to all the haters who said thanksgiving day at disneyland would be insane.
you lie. it was free-roaming, all the crowds stuck to the dark rides/nemo and toontown.
