i bought a shirt/dress for 1.50 today.


dress or shirt depending how slutty you are feeling.


i also bought shoes, but they were like $17, so not as cheap. but a good brand and very chic.


i did also get bottled water, paper towels, and toilet paper(the soft kind), because thats how i roll. haha.

so, i am really sad about the whole hilary thing, but she was pretty dumb to bring up the whole mlk thing.

(e:jason) says i should post more "nekkid photography" to get more comments. i'll consider it.

i hiked at least 15 miles in the past week, and this is not your average hike/walk. this is uphill, kick your ass, make you wanna die hiking. anyway, i did a 4 mile one on sunday, up and back down this mountain near where i live. if i ever get on ebay and order yet another usb cord, i will post some photos.

i think i might actually go out this weekend, but there is still time for me to change my mind and stay in. mass amounts of people and clubs, are beginning to scare me. i think the desert is making me a hobbit... mins the whole hairy feet thing, because hairy feet also scare me. as well as feet in general...

i only wanted to name this journal that, because i have that song by keane in my head. i forgot about them, but i really like that band. i am always looking for good hiking music. i am currently much into good hip-hop, and pretty songs...

nothing new really to report here.

i pretty much just hike and hang out with the fam, and work. i am really looking forward to the start of the new semester, and hopefully getting my bachelors in the next two years, or less. i really just want to have a career.

so, with my mom's last job, they would cover me under her health insurance, but now she is coming back to the hospital where i work, and i lose coverage. this sucks for multiple reasons. basically i am poor, but maybe not poor enough to be covered under the state. the insurance my school offers is $400 a semester for basically nothing, and it is super expensive to just purchase student insurance.

so unless i start having bastard children, i am fucked. good thing i am pretty damn healthy. i will just get my inhalers and birth control filled now, along with getting checked out by every doc possible in the next two weeks. i kid you not, i have about 5 appointments.

i really hope that whoever becomes the president next realizes how shitty the health system in this country is. working in a hospital, i see so many awful lard-asses who have done nothing healthy for themselves, and they suck up all these services while i work hard and get nothing. it makes me so mad. everyone needs to have at least basic healthcare, including students.

i have no hot hookups to report. i think my new thing is ummm respecting my body. or maybe i only meet ugly losers who aren't worthy of a hookup.

my grandma seems to be doing better now, and she is headed home this week. i am gonna help take care of her, so she better not misbehave, because there is no q.a. to make sure i am not abusing her. ok, not funny, i would never hurt the granny. i love her so! she does have some cool necklaces though, so i many have to snatch one or two.

i really want to visit the blo soon, but there always seems to be a snag in the plans.... hopefully before spring. i have forgotten what winter is like!

stay classy (e:strip)pers!


me, (e:paul), and a floating (e:southernyankee).

i feel like the world's biggest loser right now.


right now, i am reminded of the death cab song, which goes, "so this is the new year and i don't feel any different..."

except i think everything is quite different from last year, and much improved.


i am not going out. i am probably going to be sleeping my midnight, ok, it's not even 8 yet. let's change that probably to a definitely.

i am so over the whole new setting thing, and just ready to actually meet people here i like. anyone.

it's not that i haven't been invited out, but i can honestly say i would not have fun.


they say you have to give new places two years to adjust. f that.


i want new friends now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


new years resolution: meet cool people. join club or something....

at least i will be perky for a nice hike tomorrow morning. nothing says happy new year like a fit new bod....


p.s. i am also going to take belly dancing classes.

this is jessica. sarah is playing drunk haircut with me. im kinda scared.

so, i have been posting much less lately, as things here have been somewhat out of control...

unfortunately, this is not due to my drunken exploits or slutty encounters.

oh no, i just have the largest craziest extended family ever.


here's what was up for xmas:


(e:hodown) came and totally surprised the mom.


(e:hodown) was sick.


the mom was even more sick, and still sick. (e:hodown) has recovered.

on xmas. gift exchange was interrupted by emergency phone call and then emergency trip to grandma's. she has been on a slippery slope, and thing worsen by the day, and there is a 'death scare' most everyday now.

grandma's liquid morphine goes missing. rx addict aunt is staying with grandma when this is discovered. no one will confront crazy drug addict aunt.

my mom is avoiding her bf, who now calls me all the time to figure out what s up with her. i think she needs to dump him. i don't have a bf, and i don't want to deal with hers.

my sis has been very emotional this trip. i told her please stop; that is my territory, but lately, i am incapable of tears.

on xmas, my grandma wished me a "happy bday", asked "how my easter was", and also asked "how my bf with the dog is doing"... none of these questions made any sense.


basically my cracked out aunt who may have stolen the morphine drugged my poor little granny up to the point of almost killing her, and now granny is in hospice care.

my grandma who means the world to me, is not going to be around much longer. i am the favorite of nearly 50 grandkids, and it is a known fact. i have never dealt with death, so i am very scared. it is hard to explain, but my grandma has always been a kindred spirit, and there is so much of her in me. she has given me so much joy in life, and i just wish her a peaceful passing.

of course i don't want to say goodbye, but i know she is not long for this world. she told my aunt carol that she keeps seeing a room and that one day she will just walk into it. i don't know why, but that gives me nightmares. i can't imagine not hearing her voice again, not being able to tell her everything. i love her so much, and the bond we share is so strong.

saying goodbye is just so hard...


to end it on a more happy note, pretty ring (e:hodown) gave me for xmas, onyx and rubies!
