This moment marks the formation of Girl Club.
Cephalopod Scouts Division 32.
At present moment we have three official rules:
- Respect my paper.
- (Don't take drugs, kids... unless it isn't a Tuesday.) Just say NO to Tuesdays.
- Never more than 1/2 over.
We have a Girl Club god.
And he's really cute.
He becomes angered when there are boys or drums in Girl Club.
We have a girl club boy. He's half girl now.
Mylar is essential.
As is absinthe.
And crayons.
Current missions:
- Recruit more girls.
- Color.
- Keep out boys and drums.
That's what my aunts call me now, after seeing what I wore to Chris's first gig last night. I was damn cute, though. XD
And it didn't bother me anyway, after Aunt Donna told me that at work, her cake said "Happy Birthday Hooker".
I love my family.
The show was fucking amazing. I'm very proud of Chris's drumskillz. People even started moshing. Including Young Bryan. XD Only bad part about it was that Nick kept saying dumb shit between songs, like that he felt like he was going to puke and stuff. But if they knock that off and gain a bit more confidence stage-presence-wise they'll go far fast.
Also. Fitz was on stage for the performance, and I got kickass pictures with the band. I look like I belong in it. *SINGS FOR THEM* I CAN BE THEIR AMY LEE. ONLY BLONDE (*SCARES AMY LEE*). AND HOLDING A STUFFED MOOSE/REINDEER MASCOTT.
OMG I CAN BE NANA! *finds a cooler band XD!!!* KUZN! WIG-BORROWING TIME!
Btw. SO my idea to put Fitz on stage. I'm awesome. *emoheart* XD
Afterwards, Bryan had previous plans to visit a pallypal, so I rode to the afterparty with Aunt donna. Me and Devin were larfing and I was still dancing like crazy. Since all of my festivaling and bellydance classes, I'm no longer shy about dancing AT ALL. So, basically I never stop. But anyway, me and Devin got to talking about a lot of *bizarre whistley noise of paranormality*. BUT. I have so much to tell him about what I've learned in no seat belt land (which I'll of course leave the seatbeltlessness bit out of moooostly) and teach him a bit about how to protect himself better with magick. He knows very little about defensive/basic protective skills and they'll really help him out. So I'll be going over there Thursday after work so we can hang out down by his beach and talk privately for a bit, then have the typical Aunt Donna's bonfire later on, since I'm off on Fridays and can just crash there that night. It'll be sweet. Devin's usually cool one-on-one.
In other news (XD) we've got two new girls at work to replace Jessica and Melissa. Their names are Jessie and Debbie. Jessie is a sixteen-year-old secret spy (friend of the owners' family), and Debbie is just psychotic and obnoxious, and middle-aged. XD Poor Halle has to train them to death and be trapped with them in the evenings now.
They may be trying to get rid of Judge Tim (TERRIBLE!!!) because he's been having (work-stress induced) panic attacks and calling off like three days a week for the last month or so with crazy thyroid shit and what seems to be a touch of depression. But he might actually be trying to get fired so he can collect unemployment and properly search for a better job without being all stressed out while doing it. Which we're ALL hoping for at least a little bit. XD
Except for Little George.
He's too proud of his work.
My bellydance class at the wellness center isn't continuing in the fall because I'm basically the only one who always showed up. XD BUT my teacher also teaches at a dance academy (SO FUCKING COOL!) where I'll be continuing, learning with students who've already been in bellydance for three years, and Nicole (my teacher) said I fit in perfectly with them and am doing a great job. I went to the last summer class there on Tuesday night and it was much more fast-paced, but I still did great. I like this speed better. I get to learn more faster. And since this is a real dance school, there's a recital at the end of the season with a real costume and everything. I'm ecstatic! I'm getting myself a full-length mirror so I can practice better at home. It makes practice worlds better to be able to see yourself.
I'll be good enough to perform or teach... or both. I'm awesome!!! And proud of myself. ^-^
Also, Mike's birthday was on Wednesday, and after work (he got his new jarb he wanted so badly! Yay!) he came over and we gave him a proper celebration, with a homemade (XD) giant chocolate chip cookie (cake thing) and present and card and funtymez. Even Leo came to the party.
We started painting Psychedellic Jesus.
Hi, Jen here. Pretty much the same one. But I'm in a whole new world now. I broke up with Cameron, moved in with Young Bryan, and am in one of the most bizarre love triangles ever between him and Mike. I live with Bryan, and he's... technically my boyfriend, but we're in an open relationship, so I'm also sort of dating Mike. But, they're best friends and we're all completely aware of the situation, so it's awkward at times when we're all hanging out. I love them both. I just want to be close to the people I care about.
We're all going to be porn stars. Kickass, eh?
I'm practicing more yoga and studying more magick. I'm having fun with food and creating things. I'm learning to live in the moment, for the moment. I'm experiencing things most people can't even dream about and seeing the world in a million new ways.
I'm happier than I've ever been.
Life is wonderful.
Sent my mom home when she and Cameron both came to pick me up after work. SO MAD SHE WAS!
I got free yoga tickets from work, but the roads were too crappy for us to make it there in time. We went to Denny's instead and I bought Cameron dinner. Cheeseburger date! ^-^
Lum show, pretty snow, back rub, snuggles.
At Niki's
Saturday
November 22nd
10:12am
Shit, son. It's been like a month. PLISS. LET MEH ECKSPLAYN. So, my gramma moved in and seems to have brought the Great Wall of China with her. Sadly, she sat it right in front of my computer, so I can only journal when I'm at Niki's and she's in the shower. XD Anyway, to update the world, Halloween was totally amazing, I'm definitely going to find out what the health food store has to offer (jobwise) and switch if it's good. The deli life is simply not my cup of meat. But that's old news. For people who I've already told, at least. XD Cameron's decided he wants to be famous, so he's not holding in his talents so much anymore and is becoming much more brave about expressing it. It inspires me to do the same. The snow is here. Thanksgiving's going to be broken up because my mom's antisocial and my gramma's boxes have taken over the world. I had a weird dream Thursday night that I was sad and giving Squirrelaroo a hug. Friday I found out he was fired, so I decided I'm a totally awesome psychic.
Me and Niknik are having our usual blasty. We roasted a fresh young chicken last night with fresh rosemary, little red potatoes, and golden delicous apple. IT WAS SOOO GOOD! Then we had gelato. ^-^ Anne and I are going to BT(white boy from the kitchen)'s rap concert next Friday night. It should be fun. XD
Happy Thanksgiving!
Sunday, October 5th
Noon
I has a shed. We were supposed to paint it today but it's too cold, so the paint wouldn't stick right. Or something. It's huge, but still doesn't completely block the creepy old staring guy from my bathroom window. *shrug* Gramma's stuff is gonna go in there when she moves in. Some of it anyway. Not all of it would even fit in this house if we took all of me and my mom's stuff out (which also barely fits). A lot of it will be given away and some will go into storage I think. Terrible. But I don't care. I'll be moving out anyway. I really should save more. I've been spending a lot lately. But I can't help it. I've gone so long without being able to have anything that I really want to reward myself for little things in a way I never could for... any things before. I'm not buying too much STUFF really. Just Wen and food. Really great food. Delivered to me. Dot com. XD!
I went to Niki's after work on Friday and we ordered in from a sushi place. The sushi was amaaazing and I got a delicious seaweed salad too. Niki got teriyaki chicken (of course XD!) that came with rice, miso soup, a salad (for little kookz!) and these mysterious, yet delicious, pouches of meat. I french-braided her hair, trimmed her NANA wig to perfection and we watched The Breakfast Club (and took pictures). It was super duper fun. And then I went to sleeps.
Yesterday I woke up at 8:30am to find that Chris had been there the whole time. I thought he was at his dad's, but he had just been in his room sleeping since like 6pm the night before. XD!!! I took a shower, then we chatted a bit while Niki was sleeping, and watched super hard mario.
Me and Niknik went to the health food shop and found out the goff girl there is having a baby girl! But apparently it's Tim's, so Niki's back to marrying the sushi chef at my work. Even though the baby is really hers. XD!!! We got mint chocolate swirl rice cream and ate it outside the closed cafe next to the health food shop and had a chat. Then we went back to her house on the bus (while taking pictures) and watched mochi poof up in the oven while laughing (and taking pictures). We had it with some of the agave nectar I bought, and it was reeeally good. And I gave her a treat stick, which she enjoyed. XD
Then I went to Camcam's and watched him fly around his tiny RC helicopter. It's sooo cute! Then we had chicken/azn n00dles/key-lime bars his mom made (surprisingly edible... because it all came out of boxes besides the chicken which was juicy but devastatingly flavorless), and he played with his synth some and showed me Portal before we watched some Initial D and had super cuddles times™. JESUS, that's my boy.
My mom is driving me nuts today. It's one of those days where she got up at the exact same time as me, and decided to do shit in the room I'm in, and give me no privacy and not allowing me to concentrate... CONSTANTLY interrupting me to make me set up this stupid fucking shelf.
There are three new girls in the deli, so I'm working four days a week now instead of five. That gets me $180 a week.
The new health food store opens up in like a month (maybe two?). It's really tempting. If I could work five days a week there, even with slightly less money per hour I'd probably be making more and liking my job more.
She's pounding metal with a mallot three feet away. HELP ME.

10:39pm
This was my first day off since LAST Friday. If I wasn't off tomorrow too I'd murder Cindy.
I apologize for being a little out of it right now. After all of my healthy eating recently, the sugar, salt, and chemicals I loaded up on today are making me a bit loopy... since my body's not used to them anymore.
Sometimes I wonder what my life would be like if this or that happened to be different.
If I'd never gone through hell with Chelsea, would I still trust people?
Or have ever become such a good poet?
If I hadn't tried to use Bridget as a stairway to popularity in seventh grade and seen into "their" world, how long would I have wanted to be friends with the popular girls before realizing what they were really like?
If I wasn't shy growing up, would I be a partying slut?
Would that be as fun as it looks... if it wasn't so empty?
Do I just wonder about that because I feel like I was deprived of the whole "dating" part of life, like I just... picked a husband?
As glad as I am to have been handed the most beautiful flower, I feel like I missed my chance to walk through the field.
If I'd met Cameron before I quit being shallow, would I have even given him the time of day?
If I'd never met him, how much longer would I have survived alone?
If I lost him, what would become of me?
What would I be like if I'd had a father?
Or if I'd never met the sad creature that claims to be mine?
Or if I didn't spend my whole life wishing I had something... money to get what I need, people to be close to who care, something to make me feel like my time here is worth anything.
Will I ever feel secure enough to risk having children?
Will I ever look at sex as not being a terrifying risk?
Will I ever stop having pimples?
Who's driving me to work on Sunday?
If slicing meat is how I earn my living, what is my life?
The two days a week I spend typing journals and waiting for Cameron to fit me into his schedule?
I need a car.
Ugh.
I played my clarinet today.
It was the first time in five years.
I showed my mom the biggest spider I've ever seen in my yard today.
She killed it.
9:30pm
The new health food shop is going to be right near my work. It will be four times the size of the original store, and have a juice bar in it. There's still no official opening date yet. I could DIE of joy.
Right down the street from the original health food shop there's also a CPS shop, a fairy/nature(/CPS?) shop, and an Irish pub (which I got stew from with Cameron today. IT WAS SO GOOD.). My next day off I want to walk around that area and check out all the places. And the other health food shop across the street from the one I go to that I still haven't been to yet. There are apartments in that area too. And it's all in like a half hour walking distance, in a nice neighborhood. That's where I want to live as soon as I have my degree paid for and own a car. If I moved there right after getting my degree, I'd be paying rent out the ass and wouldn't be able to afford a car. So even though I'll be mostly walking, I still need to get a car first.
They have mint chocolate swirl ice cream (at the original health food shop XD) that's made from rice milk. It's AMAZING. I think I like it better than Bryers. No milk after-taste. Excellent texture and flavor. Not so good once it's melted, but it melts very slowly. The chocolate swirls are fudgey and minty. Not sure if I like that so much. The new store should have more flavors. I think they have it at Giant Beagle too. Maybe they have more flavors. Unless they only have the rice milk, and not the ice cream. Anyway, it's called Good Karma (Rice Divine). Let's check it oooout!
I want to make a work people list too. Yes.
Cindy (aka: Hitler/Christine2): Self explanatory.
Anne: HILARIOUS. 25. Has a 5 year old daughter. I thought she was like eighteen and was so shocked about the kid. LOL We take the (breaded) soooole train to Clam Town whenever one (or one hundred) opens up, and we mimic Hitler when she's off. We salute each other when it's time for our lunch breaks.
Justin (aka: Daddy/Captain/Squirrelaroo): Jealous because he was off the day me and Anne formed 67687963123 inside jokes. Slacker. Dave the Laugh. Drinks and parties a lot. Squirrelaroo is his species, because stores cheese for winter in his apron pouch. (Me and Anne are GENIUSES.). Went to L.A. to try to become a DJ right before I started working there, came back a week later. Currently trying to figure out if he's capable of developing musical taste. I'll determine that after he plays some music from the band he was raving about yesterday. Calls me Meat Man. Smoker (ick, elch, eltche). We talk about cartoons. Cameron hates him with a passion.
Jenn: Went to our "rival school" and does a lot of black head motions when she's got an attitude. Round, with glasses, same age as me. I steal her customers and she tries to crush my arms when I try to get meat out of the case. XD She tells me about how her old boyfriend cheated on her and how she thought she might have been pregnant a while back. I sit there and nod, trying not to hurl at the idea of someone touching a person that physically terrifying. She constantly tells me I'm weird. I tell her I know. Anne can't stand her. Justin asked if I'd stab her with a poison dart in the break room if he gave me one. I said I'd think about it.
Pam: Tiny, cute grandma type. From England, and therefore so much fun to hear talk. All of our customers from the UK talk to her, and bring her newspapers from London, etc. Really cool.
Ed: Best person to close with 'cause he's so laid back. Probably in like his sixties. From New York. Light-hearted. Hates Cindy's bullshit. Starts chats when it's not busy instead of making us clean the world in silence.
Mary: Greatest demo person ever. Me and Anne always hope she's going to give out samples. Speaks kind of slowly. Really nice. "Come on over here and get a sample. I have breaded soooole. I have clams here ready for sampling. One just opened up." Good times, good times. When I brought Cameron in to introduce him to everyone, she said we were so cute walking around the... stooore together. ^-^
Maryanne: Usually nice, but snapped at us for talking the other day (bizarre). She's the one who sneakily threw away chicken because she was annoyed by Cindy being Cindy. She shakes. Like a chihuahua.
Myra: Nice. In her forties or fifties. Good to close with. She said she likes closing with me. ^-^ Her and Justin joking around together is REALLY hilarious. She laughs really hard at a lot of the "that's what she said" type of jokes. Only they're usually worse. XD She'd make a much better manager than Cindy.
The Sushi Chef (whose name I still don't know): Really nice. Cute. Thick Japanese accent. Should let Niki live with her. LOL
That's everyone in the deli (I hope I didn't forget anyone LOL). Unless you count a couple people from the seafood department who come over to help when we're short-handed. Outside of the deli there's my friends from school, Mary who trained me (I'm her unofficial dietician XD), John from the kitchen, and Cathy and Corrine up front who I talk to the most in the breakroom.
I got my first five-day-week paycheck yesterday.
$240
I deserve a juicer.

I went to the beach with Cameron yesterday! ^-^ I've been wanting him to go with me for three years, and he finally did! And it was so much fun! ^-^!!!! We watched the seagulls (from like two feet away, while they'd sort of hover as the wind blew over them. It was magnificent.), collected pretty stones, and played in the sand and water with our feet. ^-^ It was kind of chilly, and the wind was coming in strong off of the shore, but the water was SO warm. It was wonderful. ^-^
Oh, and there was a tractor.
We found a piece of sea glass, a clear one that got all frosty looking. I wrapped a star pattern onto it with silver wire (just can't escape the CPS XD) and made a necklace from it today. It's pretty. ^-^ I was supposed to wire-wrap a stone Cameron picked up, to make into a keychain. So, last night when I was carrying all my stuff into my room, my hands were full, so I put the stone down my shirt. I ended up forgetting that I put it there, and I couldn't find it when I woke up. <u.u> I looked for it for like fifteen minutes with no luck. It's kind of small. I'll have to tidy my room up a bit tomorrow and look harder.
I also talked to my friend Roseanne. She's this nice, little old lady who lives on my street and walks a lot. I talked to her a few times last year when I'd walk to the bus for school. I told her about switching schools, and that I was going to the beach, and she said how much fun she had at the beach with her friend on Wednesday, and if I ever want to, I can cut some flowers from her little flower garden she was working on when I walked by. ^-^ I'm going to send her a Christmas card this year.
Speaking of neighbors, my really horrible ones (who wanted to eat Aunt Sandy because she was "speeding" into my driveway... not the ones who called the cops on Cameron (and break children's arms) because he was "speeding" out of my driveway, finally got their fence up. Sadly, it doesn't hide their back door OR driveway from our view. And their child's sandbox is still on my side of the fence. ^o.0^
Friday, August 15th
1am
That's right, kiddies, I've just woken up. I went to bed at 8pm (after having woken yesterday at 3pm from a TERRIBLE night's/half-day's sleep). And I had some left over green smoothie. I actually like it better after it's been in the fridge. It's a bit thicker (probably because of the coconut oil, which becomes solid around 75F) and it tastes like blueberry applesauce. Because it basically is. LOL I will have so much fun making baby food for my kiddies someday. Why do I keep saying kiddies?
So, yesterday, when I got up it was because my mom was coming home and wanted to take me to the farmers' market! I was so excited! I think the reason she's buying vegetables is because I told her I was gonna start buying them for myself. The real question is... is she trying to save me money, or trying to maintain her role as food dictator? The world may never knoooow.
So, then we came home, I had an apple and brushed my teef, and we were off to the dentist! I love my dentist. She is SO nice. I wanna be best friends with her. LOL Really, though, she's just so friendly. The dentist I had as a child was TERRIFYING and seemed to hate children. When I had to have teeth extracted, she wouldn't let me close my eyes when I got scared. She'd say closing my eyes would make me more scared, and yelled at me to keep them open! So I had to watch the novocaine needle inching toward my gums. I swear the syringe played the Jaws music.
Compare that to my current dentist, who takes notes on what you talk about, and offers tips on fun places to work. Her favorite place to work when she was in college was Krispy Kreme, because everyone who came in was so happy. XD!!! Also, every time I come in, she compliments my teeth. Today she said,"I love cleaning your teeth. They're so pretty. They have a nice color." I just sat there with my mouth open. Because she had her hook in there. The tiny one for scraping, that is. She's no pirate.
But yeah, it's actually a family business. Her dad owns the place. I guess he does my mom's teeth sometimes, but I've never had him. She's young, like late twenties to early thirties. And really cutesy. I think it's mostly because of her tiny little voice. LOL Maybe that's why I like her so much, because it reminds me of my friend Lindsay (Michelle's sister) who, oddly enough, is studying to be a dentist. XD I miss Lindsay. And Mesa. And Michelle. I wonder if Michelle is still in China. She went there this summer with a foreign exchange student she's friends with.
Anyway, then we went to Burger King. ^-^
