Interesting angle I suppose

Scuury
Police helicopters are flying over head announcing that there is a wanted criminal in the area and to please be cautious! Man! I was just enjoying having all the doors and windows open on this beautiful day while I work on my homework and now I have to close them! Sigh, I suppose a small sacrifice for the sake of safety might be a legitimate.
C'mon Emma!!!
Back to the grind...
PS Can someone tell me why it's SO hard to start an essay?

So I obviously don't really know how to use my camera. It's only by chance that any of the pics turn out since I'm like adjust, adjust, point, shoot.... "oh crap" delete, adjust adjust, point, shoot.... "aha! but what did I do??"
Luchi I need some pointers!!
Here and here are samples of pictures taken with my camera... so it can be done!!

HBD
2 u.
Although u don't really deserve my remembering since you clearly forgot mine, I did. Probably only because part of your birth date happens to be something to do with a password I have for something... or something. So don't feel tooo lucky. :P
San Francisco. Yesterday pops and I took BART (the metro system out here) into downtown and trekked around for most of the day. Although I don't usually do the "touristy" thing, I much prefer finding the gems that are somewhere off the beaten path, it was fun to do this time! I got some halfway decent shots which I will post later on.
It's a beautiful day today. No need to miss out on it!
Smile and everything around you will be beautiful!
xoxo

Hello :)
The ups and downs have felt like a roller coaster lately. I almost want to keep everything I think to myself, because I can't ensure my feelings won't change. As perplexed as I can become, I have gotten good at looking at the bright side and sometimes I just need to remind myself (or be reminded) that the world is a lot bigger and more beautiful than my petty problems. In saying this I am not discounting my right to feel what I feel, but in having felt the internal metamorphosis taking place when I put on a smiling face or think positively despite how I feel, there is no need to immerse myself in all my fears and worries.
Next week is going to be great! My dad is flying into San Francisco for a visit. It has been a few years now since we last saw him, the last time being around the time I arrived in Denver way back when. Wow, time has flown! I can't believe that it has been almost 3 years! A little scary actually. Anyway, Monday evening I will be taking the train out there to spend the week. I just loooove taking the train when ever I can. It's a little pricey, $15 or so each way, but the views and scenery on the route are spectacular and impossible to enjoy in the same way traveling by car. I am needing a change of scenery and some great company for a few days. The past few months I have just been working and studying seemingly without end and now I am feeling effects of solitariness: quite depressing! I need my fix of cuteness that is Altea!!! Don't kids make the world a happier place? Especially adorable ones like her! I swear, I could sit around ALL day and just watch her do her thing and I would be set for life. I don't need anything else in my life. Haha.
Oh my time is up. back to the grind! I will leave you with a silly video clip from our last visit to Mike and Kristina's. Love and miss you all! xoxoxox
not working right now! I will load it later...

Slow Dance
Slow Dance
Have you ever watched kids
on a merry-go-round
Or listened to the rain
slapping on the ground?
Ever followed a butterfly's erratic flight
Or gazed at the sun into the fading night?
You better slow down
Don't dance so fast
Time is short
The music won't last
Do you run through each day
on the fly
When you ask "How are you?"
do you hear the reply?
When the day is done,
do you lie in your bed
With the next hundred chores
running through your head?
You'd better slow down
Don't dance so fast
Time is short
The music won't last
Ever told your child,
We'll do it tomorrow
And in your haste,
not see his sorrow?
Ever lost touch,
Let a good friendship die
'Cause you never had time
to call and say "Hi"?
You'd better slow down
Don't dance so fast
Time is short
The music won't last
When you run so fast to get somewhere
You miss half the fun of getting there.
When you worry and hurry through your day,
It is like an unopened gift....
Thrown away...
Life is not a race.
Do take it slower
Hear the music
Before the song is over.
-- David L Weatherford

5 stages
Denial - then Anger - then Bargaining - now Depression - now ................................... Acceptance - when?
I think that's what it is... it's complicated. Thanks for listening Luchi, I feel TONS better... even if some mud had to be thrown, the cause is worthy!! :P I am thankful that you are one person who I can talk to about certain things and you understand. Guess I am lucky that I have a few people like that - I assign you each a topic of my distress and train you how to answer so I feel better. :P
Thanks for not giving up on me people!! xoxoxoxox

Presidents day = almost everyone gets the day off
But not me! It is in fact on of the days where I work more than ever! But hey, that's okay - moneys = rent = comfy-cozy = good. When you are working in retail, holidaiz mean the masses will be out spending their mulla like it's going out of style. Yeah don't be outside enjoying the weather, go for a bike ride stupid people! My job makes me hate Americans more than I should.
But at the same time I can have fun at work. I just have to pretend I am not really at a job. Maybe just out and about meeting random people are striking up conversations. It's easy for me to live in my imagination, I'm a Pisces! :) You'd think I was actually happy about this fact the amount I talk about it. Alas, I am hoping for pity. In doing my horoscope yesterday, after Kristina suggested I look on my birth certificate for my time of birth instead of relying on my mother's "somewhere around 2, 2:30, or 3:30. Somewhere around there.", I now know I am:
Sun Pisces
Moon Pisces
Mercury Aquarius
Venus Pisces
Mars Pisces
Jupiter Libra
Saturn Libra
Uranus Sagittarius
Neptune Sagittarius
Pluto Libra
True Node Leo
Ascendant Cancer ----- it was thought I might have a Leo rising, but no. More water!
You ask what this means? I present Miss Undecided waterfall on legs! That's what! ... ohhh what tangent am I on? Hehe. I'm all over the place tonight. It's far to late at night for my brain to have the ability to write a well thought out thesis, build and conclusion. I do that all week long with homework!! I will close with something easy... on the eyes and my brain... photiiiii!! :)
With all the take off an additional 40% + $10 + 25% more + coupons + a bag of cookies sales going on, we succumbed and partook of the great indulgence. Brandt needed a suit for some up and coming work stuffs so we got him kitted out. We saved about 70% so HEY, I guess we did alright!
fweeet fweooo (that's the sexy whistle thang peeps do, i can't spell.)

Quite possibly
the best Radiohead Album YET! "In Rainbows" you MUST take a listen. It perfectly captures my senses.
These videos leave much to be desired visually, but just listen. It's a perfect wet-and-cold-winter album that will translate your gloom into a melodic inner warmth.

Where are all the bloggers gone to?
Do you ever miss the little blogging world that was so active a few years ago? I do. It's just not the same like it was somehow even when people do blog. What do you think happened? Well my mom's COOL and has a blog! ;) CHCK IT! Actually most of my favourite ladies are MOMs. Gasp! Luchi, Xtina, Christina, (oh and Luchi's mom - she writes best comments) What does this tell me? But wait, you were cool before you had babies, so don't try and try and make me admit that being a mom makes you cooler. :P
So did you know yesterday was Valentines Day? I swear I almost missed it ;) The interesting thing about having an American boyfriend is that he has all the holidays and celebrations preprogrammed. Even if you'd prefer not to recognize a particular holiday, there's just no way round it. How can one make the transition from February 13th to February 15th without buying flowers or buying anything at all!? But I digress, he got me some roses and I was most touched... even if consumer pressure from society and possibly trauma from previous relationships influenced him more than love, he still made an effort to surprise me cuz that's just how he rolls:)
A funny story actually, at least I thought so, he bought the roses and freaked a little about what to do with them till I got home as we have no vase! (Hey we're young! Only moms and grandmas have vases!) So, he tells me later, his first thought was to try and shove them into the 4L water bottle, tie a ribbon around it and hope that would do the trick. Haha! Well, sadly he decided against that, as I would have loved to see and instead just set them on the kitchen counter with a card and there I found them, slightly wilted and turning brown. But awwwww =)
Here's us this time last year in Maui! <3

in my world
slackers would be given just as much for their lack of efforts as their over achieving counterparts, because that's just fair!! heehee. Just kidding, I'm no commie I swear!! :P
I'm lazy and I admit that I hate applying my mind. I feel like I don't even think the right way for a lot of what I will be studying anyway. I'm more of a fairytale loving, unrealistic, random and ideally an out of touch with reality kind of person - which is hard to translate into anything logical. =) It's hard for me to have to force my mind into behaving in a very specific way and then repeating the method over and over. Tough stuff for a vivacious mind!! But I need the discipline and to come to terms with the fact that some things are just always going to be plain hard and I should get used to that.
oh look at the time... Happy Valentines Day!!
Nighty night

Ah tis spring, or so it feels like
After having just gone through a depressingly wet winter, I have decided I would never survive (quite literally) in any such place where the sun fails to shine... a lot. Which kinda sucks because those are definitely some of the coolest places (think Seattle, London, San Francisco, anywhere in Northern Europe, Canada, Alaska, Iceland, probably Argentina and quite possibly anywhere outside of California.
Tsktsk I know, what an exaggerater I am. I'm just being a whiner cuz I don't get to gallivant around the world at the moment so I have to make myself feel better about staying put. I'm learning a few lessons in procrastinating dramatic change, because SOMETIMES you learn a lot from following through on something you set to do and following it through to completion. I get bored easily................
!!!LNF!!!
I just finished skyping my dad and found out that he is hoping we might be able to move up to Seattle to live at the house with my little sister!! My dad and step-mom will be living in France and little sis is in Beauty School, prefers to stay put and finish up her studies. So I guess I take back everything I said!! Haha yaya!

Thanksgiving
Thanks was given. I'm thankful for life and love, for friends and family, for food and fun, home and health, for you and YOU and you and YOU.
But with all the good, I'm a little bit bored with life at the mo. I need some direction.

RSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
Yesssss I am a bit behind the times. I finally got around to subscribing to a few of my favourite blogs. Think I should subscribe to yours? Well tell me why! How about a subscription for a subscription? ;)
NIP SLIP!
In other news:
- I have an urge to brag about Luchi's blog and link all sorts of people to it, but ALAS. :(
- Kristina blogged a blog or 3. HINT: She's unconventional and likes to make finding new posts like a treasure hunt. UNO DOS TRES
- I had a thought that I should be a travel agent or work in some sort of low-airfares-as-a-benefit industry. But then what if the economy goes bust anyway? Also does anyone use travel agencies anymore? I know I don't, but if I was less edowed with marvelous electrosavvy brains (tsktsk) perhaps I would. Whatchoothink?
- My boyfriend is adorable. Nuff said!
PS. How's the font size? I thought it was just too small.

Perplexaration-al
And nothing does that more to me than half working internet connections that hauntingly bring back the days of dial-up. *shudders* See, the place we moved to *apparently* does come with wi-fi for all the tenants but it's been a bit more like apparently *doesn't* First something was wrong with the router for weeks, then that got fixed and the new password wasn't given for weeks, then the new password was given and now it's broken again. I know should just sign up for AT&T or something but I have this feeling that our *apparent* wi-fi signal is being tacked onto our rent ANYway. So, being the 1/4 Jew that I am in my right mind there is no way I could happily live knowing I am paying for 2 internet connections. I would rather be perplexed forever more actually.
Ah well. I am sure there are worse things than not having a speed of light signal, where you have to constantly walk around the house - laptop in hand - searching for a signal that you just lost, right? My perplexity is warranted mind you. Next week we are going on a ROADTRIP thingy and I NEEEEEED new musics. We'll be exploring the wilderness of the NorthWest =) and there's no way you can do that without a soundtrack. Gonna be all good times!!!
I discovered something that has helped me in this time of wireless distress. Basically it's this search engine www.shareminer.com that searches blogs and websites where people have uploaded full songs and albums onto file sharing sites like megaupload.com and rapidshare.com etc. I bumped into this girlie piece of ear candy: Nicole Atkins - Netptune City
I'll be taking pics on the trip for SURE so check back whenevah!
A FEW HEADLINES:
-- Lena and Jade will be coming down for Thanksgiving! Yaaaaay! We're just missing Manny who is still in France to be a full the formed Voltron. So we'll just have a buttless Voltron this year eh? *snicker*
-- I am listening to a song that keeps saying "yeah we can make sandwiches"??? I'm not a snob, nor do I need constant intellectual stimulation - but come on! That's just dumb!
-- Mom updated her blog! http://snowflakephenomenon.blogspot.com/
-- We are about to celebrate our one year bone-aversary. Self explanatory? =)
-- I love the fall!!! I'm going to go run and take pictures so you can see how pretty Downtown is right now.
-- I put some pink in my hair for halloween (I went as Emma, with a bit of pink hair) and it hasn't washed out. Which is sorta cool. Luckily I finally have a job that has no dresscode!!!
-- Mig took me out of his link list and for that he will be chastised! :D I have no links only cuz they didn't come with my template and I haven't figured out how to add them.

Home sweet home!
We has mooooved! Yay! No more annoying, noisy neighbours! We found a cute 6 month old studio a couple blocks away that has been seREne and peaceful to go along with this lovely fall weather that is creeping on us... as well as my latest musical obsession; a Danish band, called Mew, that makes an excellent theme music for this stage in my life.So we have moved in but as of yet not put everything away (or better said have not found a place to put
everything) so I am not going to take pictures of the inside just yet. Soon soon.It's about time for pumpkin spice latte again no? Mmmmm. I found a recipe for that which leaves your tummy satisfied and your wallet $5 richer! Whoever thot that it's ok to pay $5 for coffee at Starbucks is completely insane... but I guess the habitué's continue unfazed which makes Mr Starbucks just a good business man.
Enjoy!

Oh Dang!!
My blog liveth!
Thanks to everyone who commented. I wasn't really about to throw in the towel, but I suppose making it seem that way I invoked some sympathy and compassion for me from you. :)
Thanks for all the comments. You guys are simply the best! It's encouraging to know that even we span the 4 corners of the universe and we seldom talk. Stiil, we aren't entirely forgotten to each other.
I am without internet at home for the time being so that is why you don't hear much from me these days, but hopefully I'll have that back up shortly.
Till then.....

I don't know why I like this so much. So dramatic and emotive. Dancing, music and art are the truest, most honest forms of human expression, the expression of our souls. Plus I'm drawn to the beauty of tragic love I s'pose.
Bound together in a love that will torment them, she's died in his arms....
My sister is so silly, she said that she enjoyed THIS one much more. Sigh, she's a gemini - that's all I have to say about that....

Facebook is teh shizznit
It's just really been so cool to find friends from my distant and VERY distant past that I'd all but forgotten about. And yes, even a couple of family members who fell off the earth or so it seemed. This site actually makes a lot of sense to someone like me. Ahem, "someone like me": vagrant, homeless, wanderer, drifter, traveler, wayfarer. etc.
I would like to challenge anyone of you who finds the notion of a cyber social network to be cheesy and lame to offer me a simpler, more concise and straightforward means of keeping in touch with friends and family that span... 1... 2... 3... wait 4...NO, 5 CONTINENTS and I can't even count how many countries. My immediate family alone is situated in Seattle, San Francisco, Iceland, France, Switzerland, England, Australia, Zimbabwe. Tough to keep track!
So yeah, maybe if you never left the state you were born in. If you never had a friend with a different nationality than you. Perhaps I can see how very loser-ish you might be if your social life revolved around a website. But to the many who have left homes and family, by personal choice or perhaps by the actions of an evil dictatorial government [ie Robert Mugabe], this is just a means to share with friends and loved ones, a relationship that might have otherwise been lost.
If you don't make an effort to keep up with friends - and talking only when you need something doesn't count - then it all just fades away. It really does. But you know, I have also come to learn that in time it doesn't matter how good a friend you thought you had, or how well you thought you knew a person. The only ones who will be there for you through thick and thin all the way till the end is your family. Nobody else gives a real shit anyway.

After a year in therapy, my psychiatrist said to me, 'Maybe life isn't for everyone.'
The weather has been unusually cool lately. I thought we were supposed to be freaking out about global warming... I'm almost saying bring on pollution and toxins - if it's gonna help make my summer comfortable, bring it on! =) ..... pause..... NOT! Or maybe ... *ponders*... why not!?.... ok .... NOT! lol. Alrighty, moving along.
The B-Meister got a promotion and last night we celebrated at the lovely Tapa the World here in midtown. (pics were taken which I will post at my most nextest convenience) I love that place, it's all traditional Spanish cuisine and tasty goodness. I actually managed to make it a bit of a surprise celebration and called all his friends without him knowing to meet us there at 6:30 - success! He was uber touched and we all had that same feeling you get when looking at cuteoverload.com. So yes, I think I scored some brownie points as all his feeling touched led to me being touched and since we both were busy feeling so touched we figured, hey maybe we should be touching! HA! That was a good one! :)

Hallelujah!
Townhouse
There's a new-old divey club-bar-thing that just resurrected from the ashes of a very dead Sacramento night life scene called Townhouse. Let some Friday night debauchery begin.
I'm so ladylike and charming =)
Favourite kissy pic!
The Footloose!
Da ladies, Lainne and Nikki
Umm, what on earth??
