welcoming 2006
Category: new year
Last night I had the pleasure of meeting (e:Salvatore) for coffee at Spot. I have four pages of interesting drawings to prove it. I don't think I could explain, maybe you just have to meet him yourself. It was a spontaneous call, which I adore. So thanks for that Sal.

Now...I have so many photos to post I didn't know where to begin. I decided to go with my strange little New Year celebration. (e:Theecarey) already posted some photos [inlink]theecarey,76[/inlink] so I will try not to make repeats. Ciao.

P.S. The 'Nocturnal State' show on VH1 plays amazing music sets. Death Cab for Cutie, White Stripes, James Blunt, U2, Fall Out Boy, Linkin Park, Eminem.....

it all started when i found korbel on sale at premier

image
which we complimented with delicious dried green apples

image
but one bottle wasn't enough, so carey opened another

image
and we started to get silly

image
so we headed to the movies

image
and i got my beloved chapstick stuck in my glove

after filling our sprites with 99 proof orange liquor....

image
carey somehow broke the seat in front of her

image
and i passed out yet managed to take a picture in my sleep

image
so we rang in the new year in the ladies lavatory

image
i like dark hallways and exit signs

we went to denny's for a little sustenance...then headed home

image
where we celebrated by puffing on some spicy cloves, mmmm

image
puff puff

image
puffety puff

Nice Pictures, I have to admit I have never heard of I think you called them cloves.
salvatore - 01/05/06 14:10
Very cute pix and I certainly enjoy anytime someone makes a reference to me! :)

the dirt says hot, the label says timika
Category: potpourri
I spent the better part of my day trying to work on my photos. I'll have to split them up into several posts. I'm tired of looking at the computer right now so I won't start tonight. Well, maybe I'll give one adorable teaser of Max! What I really wanted to say, was check out this sloganator machine. I think it's hysterical. Ciao!

Tonight, Let it be Timika.

Smart. Beautiful. Timika.

Behold the power of Timika.

Out of the strong came forth Timika.

Super Timika is almost here!

For a hard-earned thirst, Timika.

Ladycroft saves your soul.

Get the door - it's Ladycroft.

Drinka, pinta Ladycroft a day.

Try Ladycroft, you'll like it!

For the Ladycroft you don't yet know.

What's yours?

craftsman tool kinda girl
Category: gifts
I just opened a gift from one of my uncles. I was away in Mississippi so I missed the annual Christmas Eve extravaganza at my Polish grandma's house. I've pretty much missed most of them for the last 10 years since I've been out of state every time...but that's beside the point. My brother was there, so he brought it home for me. I just got it tonight and opened it up just now. It is SO random. He got me a Craftsman large mouth tool bag. It's not like I'm known for carrying around an assortment of tools, or have an occupation that requires me too. Actually I do have to deal with a bunch of tools in my line of work, just not the wrench and hammer type. Hardy-har-har. Anyhow, it really tickled me pink to think I would get something out of the blue like that. Truth is, I really dig it and I'm going to put all my car tool crap in it. Right now it all sits in a milk crate in my trunk, but I like the idea of putting the smaller items together in this little bag so I don't have to dig around for them. You see, you just never ever know what's coming around that next corner in life, however small or big. I'm outie. Adorable photos tomorrow.
Ciao, timika

when i moved to DC after college, my dad gave me a little present... a craftsman cordless drill. And I am not much of an under-the-hood grease-monkey type, but I do love taking things apart and fixing them (hell, I'm a surgeon!), so it's proven to be a very useful tool. Then to make fun of me, a few years ago my mom gave me a Drill Holster. (but i refuse to use it.) My dad also gave me a soldering iron, which i must admit i have used...

if you love someone set them on fire
Category: potpourri
A bag of fudge oreos, two laptops, a fire and a sweet little pooch sitting in my lap. Who could ask for anything more? Ahhhh, what a way to spend this bleary ass day.

Oh - and I'm allowed to reveal my news now. I just became Auntie Mika for the first time, but I shall have another niece or nephew in July!!! Yes, I found out my little sister is pregnant. It was a shock because none of us even knew that she had a boyfriend. Which she really didn't, but I guess they've decided to become an item now. It's weird enough seeing my older sister with a baby, but now my little sister?

Random thought- song titles that make me laugh:

Lesbian eskimo midget left-handed ninja albino

Taking retards to the zoo

If you love someone set them on fire

Let's go smoke some pot

The puking song

Detachable penis

Photos of my trip to Mississippi to follow soon! Ciao.




theecarey - 01/02/06 23:43
well, "what if God smoked cannibus', but i bet that is what you meant :)
theecarey - 01/02/06 23:40
(e:metalpeter), that is the name of the song, done by weird al, I believe. I just saw that as I was searching limewire for music to download. I didn't snag that, although I wouldn't mind hearing it.
The other songs listed are by the Dead Milkmen.,
metalpeter - 01/02/06 19:13
Fudge oreos I have never even heard of those. Sure beats my day of going into work 3 hours late cause I din't relise the buses where on a holiday schedulle. I think i have heard the pot song. what about "What if Good smoked Canibus" not sure that is the tittle but funny song.

happy new year 2006 e-strip!
Category: new year
On the eve of each new year we often look back to see what we did or did not accomplish, the friends we made, the friends we lost, yada yada yada. I came across this little survey and thought it would suffice. I have nowhere to go tonight and (again) no one to kiss as the bells ring the stroke of midnight. Blah. So e-strippers, I wish you joy that never ends and happiness with all your family and friends tonight!

Where were you when 2005 began?
In my parent's TV room.

Who were you with?
My father, brother and dogs.

Where will you be when 2005 ends?
I have no idea. I have not been invited to any parties.

Whom will you be with when 2005 ends?
I have no idea; there is still some time for a miracle.

Was 2005 a good year for you?
There were many changes for me this year and overall I would say they were good. I lost some stress weight, went to many events I had never been too before, made a small army of new friends and went back to school.

What was your favorite moment of the year?
I think sleeping with my nephew in my arms on Christmas morning was a precious moment that will always be dear to my heart.

What was your least favorite moment of the year?
When my Uncle Jackie and my miniature yorkie Twigi died.

Did you fulfill your New Year goals for 2005?
Yes, I went back to school and lost some weigh.

Did you fall in love in 2005?
No.

Did you make any new friends in 2005?
Tons!

What was your favorite month of 2005?
September: 30th birthday, new job, started school.

Did you travel outside of the US in 2005?
Only Canada. Sad, I know. I expect more of myself in this department. 2006 will be much different.

How many different states did you travel to in 2005?
Not many this year: Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, Mississippi, Tennessee.

Did you lose anybody close to you in 2005?
Yes. My Uncle Jackie and my miniature yorkie Twigi.

What was your favorite movie that you saw in 2005?
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire

What was your favorite song from 2005?
Mr. Brightside by the Killers

What was your favorite album from 2005?
Moby: Hotel

Did you do anything you are ashamed of this year?
Nothing comes to mind.

What was your proudest moment of 2005?
I think venturing to the 10k party by myself to meet new people. In general, I have fearlessness for adventure, but this did take some courage on my part.

What was your most embarrassing moment of 2005?
I cannot think of anything.

If you could go back in time to any moment of 2005 and change something, what would it be?
Mmm, maybe I would decline to go on a particular date. Maybe I learned something from the aftermath, or strengthened some aspect of myself, but I feel I could have done well enough without the drama.

What are your plans for 2006?
Keep plugging away at school
Continue to seek out professional development opportunities
Go to the World Cup (soccer) in Germany
Visit my friends and family across Europe
Explore D.C. for the first time
Go snowboarding
Lose weight
Compete in at least one triathlon
Visit my friends in Brazil, Argentina and Chile
Visit my little sister when she has her baby
Get my ass out to Cedar Point and ride those fantastic roller coasters
Explore Montreal
Help others in whatever fashion I can

I may fill that out on sunday when I have time to really think and reflect back. But it is to bad you have no one to kiss at midnight and nowhare to go. I hope you do something you enjoy tonight.

Some quick General thoughts on this year I met you wich was cool. I will admit it if it wasn't for meting you I would have never gone to an (e:strip) party. That means I never would have met beast, Paul, terry, matt, TK, Lee, Walt and a bunch of others. I didn't include Carey and Jason cause I met them at Henry Rollins. I did do some traveling but not as much as I would have liked. The NHL is back, Awesome!!!! I still work for the same company but got a job that is more enjoyable and pays a little more and I get overtime so I have more money to spend. I didn't do anything for newyears and it didn't mess up my year, and I'm still alone and that is ok. I still have stuff to improve on but all in all it was a good year.
theecarey - 12/31/05 14:31
Nice. I am going to snag this and then post my stuff. I was thinking of a "year end summation", but this is better.. I dont have to think of what I want to write about, it tells me. Very cool. I see that we have similar things on our "to do" lists and a few other similarities. Not suprising in the least :) Woo Moby! I like it..
