bittersweet baby

following up on my post of yesterday, here's the list of records i'm selling.
( record list )

I'm looking to get between 2 to 5 dollars on most of those,
but make me an offer and i'll let you know. Delivery/pick-up
can also be arraigned.

Also, I have a minor dillema. I look to you, damnportlander's for advice.
Here goes- I've been offered $200 to be a hair model. The catch is that
I have to get my hair shorn from shoulder blade length to a pixie cut.
It's taken me two years to grow it this long, however, it will grow back again.
To aid in your decision, here's a picture of me with my long hair taken 6 months
ago. It's not the best, but it'll do. so what do ya think? taken the money,
get a hair cut and then get a real job? or continue to tend to my lovely lady locks?


( here it is )

this is the first time i've used lj cuts or any of that fancy nonsense, so let's see if this works!

EDIT- these are actual vinyl records.

Your EQ is 133

50 or less: Thanks for answering honestly. Now get yourself a shrink, quick! 51-70: When it comes to understanding human emotions, you'd have better luck understanding Chinese. 71-90: You've got more emotional intelligence than the average frat boy. Barely. 91-110: You're average. It's easy to predict how you'll react to things. But anyone could have guessed that. 111-130: You usually have it going on emotionally, but roadblocks tend to land you on your butt. 131-150: You are remarkable when it comes to relating with others. Only the biggest losers get under your skin. 150+: Two possibilities - you've either out "Dr. Phil-ed" Dr. Phil... or you're a dirty liar.

Tomorrow night- Thursday march 16th at 7ish pm.
at the splendiferous Back 2 Back Cafe (614 e Burnside, yo)

In celebration of my 23 years in the world.
To exorcise the suckass year that has passed
and to ensure the next will be filled with love and wonderful friends...

Come down and hang out! It's FREE, fer fucks sake.
And there's music.... Felina, The Marsupials, Guau Guau and Rexella!.

Yee-ow! To be followed with karaoke at the Galaxy at 10ish.

happy birthday to meeeee*

I hope to see y'all there!

today begins with a phone call from my mom. I have to be on a plane for new york within the week to go be with my family before my dad dies.
I've kinda been waiting for this but it doesn't make it any easier.
I may be gone for up to a month which will be hard on the cafe, especially since abby has had long scheduled plans to leave for Mexico
about a week after that. so we'll both be gone for most of june and there's no way to change any of it.
the two of us comprise half of the full owners of the collective and i'm really worried.
I get even more so after the call from the OLCC, telling us that they need eveidence of how we came to be th eowners and officers of the company or we
lose our licence. Gee thanks guys.
And shortly after, I get call from the de facto head of my other newly formed collective telling me that we may be sued by the crazy bitch daughter
of the woman whose house we just worked on. It turns out the house belongs to said daughter, who never communicated with us whatsoever.

It's all much more complicated than this, but it's barely noon and my world has just been fucked.
At least I still have my love... but I shall have to leave him behind while I journey home for this unhappy cause.

I need all the love you can spare. NY folks- I'll be seeing you shortly, I guess. It's an upside to a shitty twist of fate.
Please- be nice to your parents.

in other news, i'm bleeding from the cunt and the cafe has named our sandwich of the week Donna's Bloody Hummus.
that makes me happy.

it's been a while, eh? i think a simple list should suffice as an update fer now.
-thee back 2 back cafe, is um, doing well. we pay ourselves enough fer me to pay my rent now.
- my other business should be up & running (mylife) very soon .. hopefully soon enough
to pay tuition for this term.
- i haven't worked for anyone other than myself in alomst a year. hell yeah fer self sufficiency.
who'da ever thought that i, high school dropout loud mouth socially inappropriate donna
would be such a young businesswoman, entreprenuer type, even? not i, but it turns out i'm good at it.
my capacity for self discipline grows everyday, which is good, since i'll need it the deeper i wade
into this higher education thing. and even though it'll take me a while to finish & i'm staring hella late compared
to some of my peers, i'll be able to pay for it as i go along. ie: no or very little student loans to pay off!

i seem to have meandered into full sentences. hmmm.

- brian & i are going on two years this summer and our 3rd mutant fest is coming up
- it's 70 degrees and sunny in portland right now. mmm global warming.
- my spanish is improving little by little and it looks like i'll be able to travel
down there within the upcoming year.
- i've got a 4.0 in school so far.
-i'm still living in the same lovely loft that i've been in since i moved to pdx.
but we have plants now and roommates who like to decorate.
- still getting hooked up with free tattoos by the studio in my building.
- on the bad side, i've not quit smoking yet and i know it's about time. i lack the discipline
which i need it the most for.
- i've been visited by three old ny friends in the past few months and i wish that more
would decend upon me, particularly yee ole b.spa crew.
- i'm only writing after all this time b/c i had a dream about lisa jaronski and prom night
the other day and it was wierd, but noone i know out here could understand why or how.
i miss old friends, new ones are great and all - i love 'em - but there's much to be
said for the folk who knew you as an awkward outcast little kid.
- i'm gonna get silly and sentimental if i continue so i'll stop.
- goddamn i need a newer user picture.

till another six months from now... xoxo

All of a sudden it's March 1st and all of our perspective roommates have fallen through (to the dark side, of course). So I'm reaching out to my fellow damned portlanders to see if we can make a magic match happen. The situation is as follows...
There's a space open in our 1,500 sq ft. loft. We are located incredibly close in the SE industrial district. The rent is $250 and bills run about $50/mo. And now the specifics.. dum dum dum... the room itself is fairly large (10x12ish) and is half of the upper sleeping loft area. However, it is the front half, so one of the other roommates will have to walk through to get to his space. If yer uptight about privacy, this is probably not for you. The loft lacks walls (except fot the bathroom) but it makes up for all that with gorgeous lighting and dimensions. We also have a largish bathroom, kitchen and common living room. So that's the apartment, now about us.
We are two gay guys and a nominally straight girl, looking for another female to keep the gender balance. The majority (2) of us are students with pretty hectic lives, so we like the house to be our refuge of calmness. Our ideal person would also be a student &/or have lots of stuff going on in their lives, be towards the left end of the political spectrum, be mostly veggie (IE- not cooking meat at home), clean and respectful and into the ideals of communal living. We're looking for someone to become a friend and not just a roommate, though socializing won't be enforced.

and the last important thing - we need to meet you post motherfuckin haste! comment or email me with your phone # and i'll be back to you within 24 hrs. hopefully we can set meet & greetin's for weds & fri and get you moved in soon.

Oh dream roomie, I know yer out there!

life was nice & smooth yesterday
when i shaved my pussy
my lover loved me even more than usual
today i am irritated
at myself for
not owning a pair of silk panties


> this poem came to me as i took a piss. comments?

ahh too long in between posts. i'm a sickly girl. immuno-deficiency plus standing in the rain at the geek faire yesterday have left me weakened and compromised. it's good to be back in portland. back 2 back has the best boobs of all the cafes in this little town i'm proud to say. yee-haw! i sent my beloved queen off to tropical paradiose last week, and now tow more roommates are going too. do you think i smell? heh. it's a good thing; i was ready for soem upheaval. but now i need to lay down and read till my eyes fall ahut. i'd say i'd write about my experiences in ny later, but the world doesn't really need another RNC account, now does it? la la la fuck fuck fuck. amen sista.

i got back from mutant fest last night after a not too grueling car ride home and a not too long nor too short stay in the woods. any less time and i would have felt i wasn't getting the true experience. any longer and i would have been bored. how can you be bored at mutant fest you ask? mmm well lets just see how many stories about shooting up/hopping trains/&/or being SOOO drunk you can handle. even on vacation, i prefer people who do things and are interesting. despite the seemingly higher than average compatibility between myself and most of the people there; i am essentially a misanthrope. however, there was a lot i enjoyed about it... me & lovertits made out like bandits bartering his patches. the lovely sunlit coves along the meager creek that were ideally suited to copulating outdoors. i knew many more people this year but somehow, that alone didn't increase the enjoyment factor. just another case of high expectations biting me in the ass. i'm glad that while there my compatriots and I formulated plans to bike into the woods. that makes me happy, as does the semi-clean(er) house i returned to. huzzah! i leave for ny in ten days. countdown time. the task at hand now is to make more money while spending almost none of it; a sort of zero-sum equation. it can be done, you'll see.

so i've recently pulled my head out of my ass, & myself out of a blueish-grey depression over my unproductivity.
it's all kind of silly, seeing as how i've been relishing the prospect of uninhibited unemployment. in spite of my canvassing gig being over (hallullah!) i still have the cafe sucking up a lot of my time and through the cafe association with the IWW hall, i've also found myself a gig doing demolition for fifteen bucks an hour. yea for smashing buildings! i'm trying to keep the flow of money in my direction unimpeded seing as how i still need a good chunk of change to ensure that new york comes off in style. there's good news on that front as well - the nypd has agreed not to use pens to trap protesters in for the Not In Our Name protest the day Bush-wa is crowned boyking of the ReThuglicans. so we won't be treated like cattle for at least one of the events. i am soooo looking foward to the critical mass in the city and i have to find some way to score me & brian bikes for the upstate half of our trip as well. i'd much rather cruise around in 100 degree heat all bikepunx than be borrowing mommie's car while i'm there. which will still probably happen anyway. enough about that for now, i do enough worrying over it in brian's oh-so stressed out company.

ho-hum- in other news.... i need to go eat and train my body not to require nicotine.
this updating crap takes a lot out of me.

to thee ny contingent : i shall return. bwa ha ha! see ya in august.

ah, it's been so long since i've posted anything other than stupid quiz results. i really do do things other than be an internet dork, i swear!

weather update: goddamn it's hot. not that i'm complaining. spf 5000, yo.

so i've been werking full time since school got done two weeks ago, eagerly anticipating the july first end date... i'm getting to aggro to deal with the public these days. yesterday the big fat boss man tells us that we've gotten two new campaigns. ugh. um, i mean, hurrah. yeah right. i don't know much about the issue yet, but one of them is a two week long camping canvass in eugene. hanging with the hippies. woot. i suppose the longer i work, the longer i put off having to look for a new job. it'll be good to get out of the city though, the last time i left the portland metro area was (other than visiting ny fer x-mas) mutant fest, almost a year ago. this years festival is happening in about a month and i can't wait... it'll be mine and brian's year anniversary. awww. and i better have quit smoking by then, so he says. and i know he means it. erg, not something i'm looking foward to. nyc in august is. a bunch of friends of mine from portland are planning on attending & i'm hoping all my old skool townie friends can meet them. the blending of new york and portland <3 yea. and ummm what else... my house is disgusting because some, not all, of the people i live with meet the adult requirement in terms of age only. i'm getting fed up with it and have neither the time nor the energy to remedy the situation (ie. pick up their messes for them). so if i get my way (& i always do) it looks like i'll be moving into the big house early fall after queenie has returned from southeast asia. ch-ch-changes.

tra la la i love you all.

Which Historical Lunatic Are You?
From the fecund loins of Rum and Monkey.

since getting back into school & having to go through basic algebra all over again, i've been thinking in mathy terms. life tends to take the shape of a sine curve, y'know, the one that resembles a squiggly line. my menstrual hormones had me all out of whack & miserable last week, combined with the stress of starting school for the first time in four years. i'm on a more even keel right now, esspecially having worked it out that i won't have to work full time, only on the days i don't have classes. huzzah for free time! this week will be pretty busy, leading up to a definite high point peak on the curve on friday. that's the day that kimya dawson & friends will be playing a show at my cafe. that's right, you heard me. yea!
and i gotta tell you, it wouldn't have happened without livejournal, so a big nah nah nah to all detractors who say it's a waste of time. i was distraught that she's be playing within an hour of me but in spite of the proximity i'd still have no way to get anywhere to see her, so i wrote her asking why she wasn't playing in her old hometown of portland. and that if she wanted to, i could hook her up with a venue & a place to stay. well, she accepted. i've got all the balls rolling & paperwork almost in order to use the Wobbly hall next door & get our liquor licence temporarily extended so folks can bring their beers back & forth, a definite must. now i've just got the most important thing left - promotion. you'd think in a town as hip & young as pdx, they'd be getting in line right now to come out to this show, but surprisingly few folks have heard of her. then again, that's only out of the few that i talk to, none of whom are hipster-esq at all. still - must get the word out. and to that end, i should go get behind the counter and start making up a flyer. i know most of personal friends on here are all stuck back in upstate ny (for some unknown reason) and won't be able to make it out to this, but still - be happy for me, dears!
and in other news... i love brian very much. my house is reaching new levels of filthiness but this will eradicated within the coming week. i know kimya's all so rokk & roll but still, if i'm gonna put her up, my house will look nice, dammit. my tat has one more session till i'm finally done. woot. can't complain since it's free. school is cool but i can't wait to take classes i'm actually interested in after these damn prerequisites are out of my way. the drama betwixt the houses has faded away, with the exception of the boy who doesn't even live in either. he can go be a big cry baby ninja & we don't care. & i really really love brian. gah, it was so hrad to crawl out of bed & drag my ass down to the cafe this mourning, he's so damn cutewhile he's sleeping. we spent yesterday sitting in the sunshine at waterfront park while he drew me. this has been going on often lately as he wants to get a couple of decent portraits of me in my current incarnation before i chop of my gloriously tangled mane. and then came home, spent too much money on groceries and made homemade ravioli, yum yum. ok, i'm being a wee bit too domesticated sounding for my taste so i'll stop here and go do cafe stuffs.

i love you all very much. don't ever be too far away for me to tell you that.
