[Sep. 24th, 2008|03:53 am] |
so im just waiting for things to get interesting. right now im just working too much and sleeping too little and drinking 40oz of coffee and gagging and almost throwing up all over my shoes while travis pukes out the window and my cat screams because she has depression too.
i had two "love letters" in the mail yesterday. kinda totally weird and unexpected.
im blonde now because my hair refuses to turn purple.
the other day i saw this blind man walking through the middle of the street so i stopped to give him a ride because he was about to get hit by a car. it was gameday and the street was full of idiots. when he got in i noticed that his cane was broken and duct taped back together. he said he couldnt really feel his way around because of the break and he had been wandering for an entire day trying to get to the blind school to get a new one. he stopped at every church along the way asking for help and he said something like 30 churches refused to help him. it makes me sick. i cant think of anyone who needed help more than that guy that day. all those churches should be burnt to the ground.

so we didnt really understand why people complained about living in austin until the first football game of the season.
the streets become completely filled with the worst people ive ever seen all wearing the worst color ive ever seen.
i guess i first found out why people complain about austin the first day i sat on campus and noticed that one out of every four girls walking by was wearing the exact same outfit. nike shorts, baggy sorority tshirt, either brown flip flops or white tennis shoes, pink cellphone in hand.
seriously almost every goddamn girl in town is wearing that exact outfit. its unbelieveable. on game day they switch it out for a burnt orange dress from manju's and cowboy boots.
we were walking down the street and the bro in front of us and the bro approaching us apparently knew eachother, so when they bumped into eachother, as bros often do, one of them suggests,
"DUDE, DO YOU LIKE WANNA GO TO MCDONALDS AND LIKE SPLIT FIFTY NUGGETS OR SOMETHING?"
i couldve died right then, but i lived to see another day and garrick talked me into going to some dudes birthday party. i dont know why i ever agree to going to parties. its never fun. i dont give a shit about a keg and some oldies playing in the livingroom/dance floor.
luckily brian and travis felt the same way.
we left the party and played magic the gathering and drank soda. it was awesome. |

let me just say, my cats are really cute.
im super dehydrated and have been yelling all day so i keep coughing up shit. and i smell like onion rings
i just played a show at the chain drive. it was our first show as a two piece.
i was really nervous about singing and playing at the same time but i think i did alright.
my arthritis has gotten really bad though. my hand just wouldnt work at some points. my body feels so old sometimes.
but i want to play at the chain drive all the time. i really like it there.
but my friend that we play with is moving to san francisco where hes going to be in charge of admissions to the san francisco art institute.
so basically if i ever want to go to school there, he can hook me up. pretty awesome.
we have one definite show set up for tour! so, we're actually doing it. im really pumped.
i really want a pup.
cut the sleeves off your shirt and dont give a fuck. |

last week i got on a train for 30 hours and landed in chicago. clitfest was so awesome and inspiring.
i was seriously impressed with every band that i saw. that city has some really awesome people in it. there are so many ladies involved in the community. its really cool to see. i also met a lot of really tight people from tiny towns around the midwest. i fell in love with someone i talked to for five minutes, which is a really stupid thing to do. ill probably never see them again.
i really want to move to chicago. i totally feel at home there. ive said i wanted to live in chicago for about 14 years now, so i should make it happen sometime.
my bands going on tour with the orange cokes halloween week! so ill be back in chicago in october. im really excited about it.
and thats the week after my birthday!
then the week after tour im going on a little trip with my mom.
boy might be working with me soon. im really happy about that. its nice to have old friends around.
i cant wait until november. flipper and the dead milkmen. holy shit.
if its possible to die from too much fun i think i might do it. |

shits good.
i started volunteering at monkeywrench books every monday morning. i like it a lot. basically i just hang out for four hours reading zines and occasionally helping a customer.
girlfren' played a house show last week and it was a lot of fun. hopefully we are going to be putting out a split soon with one of adams new bands. 3
fake blood is playing at good records in dallas tomorrow! come out if you wanna see me while im in town because im leaving right after the show.
also i might be in dfw for a few days next week if i cant find a way to get off work the following weekend for clitfest in chicago.
clitfest is an ALL PUNK lady centered fest. no singer songwriter hippie shit. just punk ladies. it sounds way way cool. the fest takes place in different cities every year and theres talk about several different ones in cities all over. i have high hopes of organizing clitfest 09 in austin. it would be a much more girl positive answer to chaos in tejas that always just turns into toughguy fest. we'll see what happens. |

i think my show went really well! people seemed to like girlfren' and that made me really happy. i realized once we were done playing that our songs are all 30 seconds long at the most. i kinda like it that way. tyler and dani came down to see it and that was awesome.
travis and i didnt have our shit together as usual so the fake blood set was pretty sloppy but whatever.
hexlust was really really awesome. i didnt know what to expect, but i ended up liking it a lot.
boogdish as a full band was really good too!
overall it was a really fun show, lots of pizza was consumed and somehow i managed to scrounge up a decent amount of money for hexlust and boogdish.
theres a small chance girlfren' might get to play at girls rock camp and im really excited about the idea of playing to a bunch of young girls starting their own bands.
the potential johns show was fun too. i actually talked to people and everything. i think im finally starting to make friends in this town.
last night i saw andrew wk and it was SO TIGHT. i did so much fist pumping my arms hurt today. before the show even started travis snapped his glasses in half and i had to lead him home while he pushed his moped, mostly uphill all the way home. i didnt realize how blind he was until i had to tell him where curbs are and warn him of all the uneven sidewalks. its scary. im glad i have decent vision.
i made a dress entirely out of fake fur!! i look like a gorilla in it. |

i feel like shit. yesterday i got up at 4pm after working from 11pm to 7am the night before, ate a giant meal and drank a lot of coffee, had band practice, in a caffeine frenzy forgot all about the show i wanted to see, went down the street and got a giant cup of coffee then was handed a free giant cup of beer. i drank both then rode traviss bike as fast as i could to ashleighs house where i ate a giant brownie and smoked a lot of weed. came home stayed awake all night sewing and reading, finally fell asleep and woke up 4 hours later to a pounding noise, still jittery from the caffeine.
now im making beards and waiting on a pizza.
the other night at work i lost my shit. theres this regular that comes in twice a day and is the biggest sexist homophobic republican jerk with short term memory loss of all time and obsesses over one of the other waitresses and talks to me about strip clubs and kids with credit cards. i hate him. yesterday he called someone a faggot and i yelled at him and got really worked up and he finally stopped talking. he had it coming. i think he knew it too.
im playing a show tomorrow!
boogdish, fake blood, hexlust, and girlfren's first show everrrr.
at the parlor.
double free pizza.
double nervous.
sometimes i really wonder what the fuck i am doing with my life but doing what im doing right now really makes sense. |

just got done playing a show at a gay bar. it was a lot of fun. i dont know if many people were that into us, but i really liked the place and want to play there again.
so many cute androgynous girls oh my god.
im on day 10 of cranberry hell and still no results. i hope i dont have kidney stones or cysts on my ovaries or something.
i guess i dont really have anything to say at all. |

[Jun. 14th, 2008|04:14 am] |
so like a month ago i said "no more 21+ shows ever" but that was before two very nice boys who i had never met before and who had never heard my music asked me to play a show with them at a gay bar. i just couldnt resist.
so im doing that on wednesday! im pumped.
also i set up a show at the parlor on july 3rd with boogdish, hexlust, fake blood and my new band girlfren. its gonna be our first show! im really excited to play a show with those ladies. more excited than i am to play at the gay bar.
last week i worked 7 days in a row and almost lost my mind but made massive amounts of tip money so today i got a tattoo of wicket and ordered the most beautiful short scale bass i have ever seen. ill be so glad to not have to borrow everyone elses shit to play anymore.
i have some super intense reoccuring abdominal pain thats driving me crazy so i have been drinking nothing but cranberry bullshit and i hate hate hate it.
yesterday at fiesta i talked to the guy who sells the crazy blankets with scarface and tupac and shit on them and he was the coolest regular ass dude i have ever encountered. he started rapping and talking about how religion is fucked up within 2 minutes. i love him and now feel obligated to purchase one of his tupac blankets.
im way happy and way full of pizza. |

im hot and sweaty and things never go as planned. but its all ending up worth all the hot and sweaty walks between houses and coffee shops to work and back home and back to work again.
im playing music with ashleigh and lauren and its all going really smoothly and turning out awesome.
im really proud of it and super stoked to be playing with girls. its so much fun. we just hang out and smoke weed and eat pizza and talk about important shit in between playing songs. and we still get a lot of stuff done. its exactly what ive wanted for a long time.
lauren and i are going to dfw tomorrow and i hope my car doesnt die along the way. it sounds like a boat and that cant be a good thing.
i feel like everytime i write in this thing it gets more and more incoherent. |

im moving to austin on april 1st.
it took a lot for me to make this decision and not feel like i was giving up on this place.
sometimes you just gotta do something new for yourself.
thats what im doing.
on another note,
how can you think everyone else is the problem when everyone has a problem with you?
shit.
i got my cat fixed today and her bare skin looks like a cow.
im gonna run out of money.
i love being unemployed

gee i havent updated this in 24 weeks.
i am busy as hell.
im playing music/ making art for a show on sunday. its gonna be awesome.
but before then i have to finish two noise tapes and several pieces of artwork.
i worked on noise tapes for two hours yesterday and they sound awesome. one is just voices and the other is all stuff from sound effects records and when you play them together it sounds much better than i expected.
i still have about an hours worth of work to do on them but instead im doing this and playing music with tyler and eating gelato.
its nice being busy and making tons of stuff. |

im ready for fancy pool swimming and hot tub sitting
im ready to meet the new baby in my family
im ready to move into a new house
and im ready to go on another trip.
last night i was having bad fever dreams and travis had to keep reassuring me that no corn on the cob is not important, my back is not a lake, my head is not a strawberry, i am not a baseball player and i dont have to go back to san francisco in the morning to sell maps in a bunny costume.
its hard to get back into the swing of things when youve been gone for two weeks. especially when you come back sick.
my cats gotten fat and my house is full of bugs.
the last two weeks have been so great. my head is spinning with ideas and im excited about everything.

this trip has been crazy. berkeley is like a cartoon world. we were sitting in peoples park surrounded by a guy in a tricked out wheelchair doing donuts, a girl screaming rap lyrics for 5HOURS, a guy hitting himself repeatedly, and a trainhopping girl crying her eyes out. it was so unreal.
machete got on the same train as us on the bart then i ran into two other people i know just walking down the street. that was awesome.
for a couple of nights we were staying at this squat called hellarity in oakland. everyone there is super nice and they basically let you move in no questions asked. there was all the free food we could eat, a library, a radio station, house bikes, and all sorts of cool shit.
we volunteered at a surrender show at gilman. that was fun. i didnt really like gilman until i was working there, but now i really like the way they run it and i think we should have set duties on the 1919 no money no honey list.
we were going insane and had to get out of berkeley so now im in monterey sitting at marys house. its nice since it was my home for a month.
saw seals, got my finger trapped by a sea anemone, mary hangs out with some weird guy that just starts reciting poetry to you in the middle of a conversation.
this trip has inspired me to do a lot of new things when i get back home. and it has made me tan and buff.
we're off to santa cruz tomorrow and then back to our scary mountain until its time to head home.
miss you dudes! |

heyyyy dudes
im in berkeley right now.
last night we slept on this crazy huge hill in some rich neighborhood in san francisco. it was so crazy and surreal
we woke up this morning to a bunch or people and their dogs and everyone was so nice to us. it was awesome.
we are going to be so strong when we get back from carrying these damn bags up all those insane hills.
i felt like i was going to have a nervous breakdown the second time we climbed up to the crazy hill but singing 69boys songs boosted the morale.
rick theyre showing big trouble in little china tonight.
alright laatter |

[Mar. 12th, 2007|03:23 pm] |
travis and i leave for san francisco for two weeks the day after tomorrow.
we dont know where we're going to stay or what we're going to do but im excited.
if any of you have some bay area contacts you want to throw my way, it would be very helpful.
ive been spending so much time alone reading being antisocial
i have so much to do before i leave.
im glad im finally going because i have been planning this trip for at least a year now.
