I am getting published! for the first time! I am so excited.....I am getting my article about perinatal HIV transmission published in the Journal of the Nevada Public Health Association! yay!

Yea, there are like 6 jobs that I am definitely qualified for. I WANT TO WORK AT ROSWELL..... please help!

Hello (e:peeps)! I am finally back in buffalo....and it feels great! Now I just have to get my shit together, and put my life back on track....


on that note: for those of you who work at Roswell, it is seriously my dream to work there....I have applied to a billion posiitons, but I haven't heard anything about any of them....SO! I found a posting this morning of something that I have experience in and something I would love to do...job # 820-Clinical Resarch Associate I. If any of you have any pointers as to how I can snag the job, that would be so greatly appreciated. I am so in need of something that I can feel validated for....and htis job sounds perfect.

every time I try to post on here, my internet gets messed up....I am going to attempt to do so again....

I am leaving for home (buffalo) coming a week today.....I leave las vegas and start my journey across the US to end ultimately in buffalo.....which should be sometime around sunday night or monday morning.....

things fell apart here, and I just need to get home.

anyone know of any good jobs? or any job for that matter....I need a job. ANYTHING will do as long as I can make money and keep my clothing on.

I am getting my hair trimmed tomorrow.....I am excited.

Im exhausted. i need to go to bed.....gonight.

My prospectus went awesome. I couldn't have imagined it any better.... I am so happy about this! My committee was very impressed with my research project, my organization, and my ability to explain it....thank god.


So, to celebrate, danny and I went to the BMI urban music awards. it was insane. i hung out with fellows like sean combs, three 6 mafia, lil wayne, T-Pain, Lil Mama, etc. Yes. it was insane. entertaining to say the least.

what else? I got a pedicure today. hot pink toes! love it.

my dogs are sooooooo annoying. they are wrestling.

Oh! I got a new phone. the new palm treo. it's so intense. there is so much to learn on this thing, i don't even know where to begin.

so, recently i have been feeling very spiritual....I want something to find me peace and a place of content-ness....I have bought jade and buddist jewelry to keep my mind on the things that I value the most, and to bring me good luck of course....

I really want some indian food. that would be fabulous....we will see what I can scrounge up!

tonight I am going to see built to spill. excited. this weekend is modest mouse. wonderful!

ok. so I have less than 2 hours before I have my thesis prospectus. I am FREAKING out man....I am totally prepared, but am terrified of the whole experience. Ugh! I can't wait till its over. I am going to need a few cold ones after this....


...in other news, I am going to the BMI urban music awards here in las vegas tomorrow. I get to go on the red carpet and watch celebrities and watch the whole awards show. It's hilarious. I am going to be the only white girl there....run DMC, rhianna, lil jon etc are all going to be there. HAHAHAHAHA. entertainment at its finest.

and the MTV video music awards is this weekend here too. I am sure the whole city is going to be a zoo. awesome. NOT.


hmm. what else? I threw my back out big time. it is horrendous. I went to the chiropracter yesterday to get it fixed. I feel a bit better...but it doesn't help that I am wearing t-strap mary jane heels...I mean, how practical is that?

The countdown is on. home is less than a month. yes!

So, a long while since I last posted....nothing too exciting going on.

I got back from buffalo last wednesday at 1am, and started my new job at 8am that day. My boss is a dick, like super sexist, and it really pisses me off. yea, i may be tiny and a woman, but that doesn't mean i can't move 40 lb boxes in the back, so don't belittle me and tell me I shouldn't bother because they are heavy.

he makes stupid comments like, "we only hire hot chicks" and "women really sucks bad". I think he tries to be funny, but he isn't. at all. He is the type that drives a crotch rocket, wears all black, listens to bands like slipknot, and thinks he is such hot shit that it is disgusting.

but apparently i am not the only who thinks this way. my entire staff does. and they want to fire him. and the owner of volcom wants to put me as store manager. but i don't want to because i am leaving in a month and a half (which they don't know about).... being a store manager would make me mucho dollars, but I certainly don't want to deal with the shit and responsibility. Everything is on your shoulders...and you put in way more hours than just 40 a week.

I havent worked on my thesis is over a month. this is a serious probem because my goal is to have it done by the time i leave. is this possible? I really have to bust into high gear.

So, I went to saks 5th avenue over the weekend and bought a juicy couture denim skirt with heart pockets (and I already have the same jeans). Its adorable, but cost me a small fortune. I can't spend for the next week and half thanks to that damn skirt....

and when I get paid next week, my first thing I am going to do is get my hair cut. A post or so ago, I stated that I was duct taped to a chair and had my hair chopped off. It's about hsoulder length now, but I think I want to get a chin length bob...kinda like Irulan from the real world las vegas (reunited hair style of course). So....my theory is, if my hair is gone, which it is, might as well get it cut the way I want it.

I have been working so much, I am so out of touch with what is going on in the world recently. I feel like a bad citizen of society. I know someone shot people at the caesers palace parking garage over the weekend....does that count for something? jesus.

Anyway, I hope all (e:peeps) are doing well....take care!

so, i have always thought that having a cute one length sleek and straight bob would be amazing...but I could never chalk up enough balls to get it done....i am super attached to my hair.

so, i was talking wishful thinking tonight to my mom's friend who is a hair dresser. they decided that i needed to get my hair cut and hilighted, but i said NO! So, they took it upon themselves to duct tape me to a chair and cut my hair. I am currently freaking out. my hair is short!!! not that short. but not as long as it was. omg.

I can honestly say that I love this town. Buffalo is my home. and i love it. this morning was magical....i drove my mom to work in the wee hours of the AM, and when I got home, it started to rain. Rain does not happen in vegas. more or less the ability to keep your windows open to feel the amazingness of the early, dewy and refreshing morning summer breeze. I laid in bed, listening to the rain and feeling the wind, and thought, "my god, this is the best morning I have had in a long time".

I am really looking forward to my return to the queen city.

My apartment is really cute. Despite its lack of bedroom furniture, it's coming along....pink and hello kitty style. damn right.

my little brother got this kitten a few weeks back. i thought, great, just what my family needs, another fucking animal. but honestly, i am in love. This cat is like no other cat....those of you who know me know that I am a dog person, but this cat is fucking awesome. she cuddles and loves like no other! and she licks your toes! If i could guarentee a cat like this, i would for sure get one.....but unfortunately, cats are so hit and miss, most likely to be a miss....i want this cat.

i hope all you (e:peeps) are doing well! goodnight!
