er... my new semester at school kinda bites cause they're all grad/undergrad split classes and i don't feel challenged in 2/3 of them. on a happier note, my band found a practice space and have been playing there a lot! we are recording a 5 song demo that will hopefully be ready for our APRIL 7th SHOW IN YPSILANTI!!!! everyone please come out to see us! check out our songs at www.gaminethief.com or www.myspace.com/gaminethief i haven't been working a lot because hours are really cut back, but it's ok because my band and i are trying to organize a chicago rock camp for girls and that's keeping us really busy. we're also trying to book a spot for ladyfest lansing in april, but not sure on that yet. mostly all i do is school/band stuff... try to go dancing or something on the weekends if i can. there's so much stuff to do, but the small things i decide on take up most of my time. i'm not dating and haven't been for the entirety of my existence in chicago. this is for several reasons... 1. i don't really want any attachment to another person right now 2. i don't really go anywhere to meet people because i mostly go to straight dive bars with cheap beer 3. all the girls i know/meet have girlfriends and that's just too much for me to think about 4. i am highly undesirable just kidding about that one!!!! i have to get up early tomorrow and need to relax and watch a movie since i spent all day in my bed doing homework. such a tough life i live...

Current Music: there is a light that never goes out-the smiths Time: 04:00 pm Current Mood: ball of sadness

instead of starting my readings for class tonight, i became engrossed in the film "My Life" with Michael Keaton and Nicols Kidman. Needless to say, for those who have seen it, I am now ridiculously depressed. It made me think about when my sister Julie was dying in the back room of my parents' house from cervical cancer and how much it must have hurt my mother to see her child like that... then i thought about my niece Jessica and how she doesn't remember her mother and will never be able to know her in any other way than through the people who were around her did and it's just not fair. i was only nine when my sister died, but i remember having to bring her glasses of water all the time and watching her body disintegrate from the unsuccessful chemotherapy. life is fucked up.

time is winding down for me very quickly in los angeles. today i slept in, had a great time at lunch with a good friend, and had a stellar evening. i went out to a rally in west hollywood park to celebrate the 85th anniversary of the 19th amendment. People from organizations all over the state of California were there to speak on several upcoming political events/ask for financial assistance. Following the rally was a free screening of "Iron Jawed Angels" which happens to be a favorite movie of mine... if you haven't seen it, you must. or else don't bother talking to me anymore. we all went to 'girl bar' afterwards and danced our pants off. well i did. i have my last real shift at my best buy tomorrow because my sunday shift will be inventory. sunday night i work from 6p.m. to 2 a.m. or so, come home and sleep, wake up and head back to Michigan for a little bit before i start the next chapter of my life. it's kind of scary, but i think i'm ready for it all. let's hope everything goes well. seeing as how i'll soon be 26 and can leave the crappiness that is being 25 all behind me... *closing eyes and taking a giant.step.forward.*

Current Music: my broken toilet running/neighbor's fighting Subject: my status. Time: 03:35 pm Current Mood: anxious

just so that everyone knows... I will be leaving Los Angeles one week from today to head home. I'll be home on the first in time for my birthday, pack my things, and head off to Chicago on the 5th to start my new life once again. If anyone in the Metro Detroit area would like to see me, please respond to this post or call me so we can make arrangements. even though L.A. has been a strange experience, it's been an experience nontheless. i get kinda sad when i think about leaving. i was thinking about writing a journal/book about all the weird stuff that's happened here. we'll see if i actually feel productive enough to do it. you know what i should do? hire someone to do it for me... that's what you do here!! i really have to pee and there's no toilet paper in my godforsaken apartment and Matthew Perry was at a red light next to me yesterday on Sunset Blvd. in a super-flashy car. I bet he has toilet paper at his place.
