ted, me & alcatraz

ted & me coming back from alcatraz

the big 3-0

not much happened. i still feel like i'm 26. maybe i just act like i am. it helps A LOT with a 24 y/o bf. what did i expect one might ask? i didn't expect anything but i hoped i'd wake up transformed into someone who was on top of her issues and projects (ie life). but i suppose that's asking too much to happen over the course of a night.
turkey day is round the corner and there's much to do. remember, you're as young as you feel or look... i guess that makes me 23 again for the 7th year. yay!

election day & another 4 years in hell

don't even get me started on how the hell 59.6 million people can be so stupid. alas, i have decided i don't want to understand.

trashcan sinatras

on tuesday at slim's, then on thursday at popscene, and finally on friday at the troubadour. think i'm a fan? john and marie from sacramento will beg to differ. they went to tuesday's show, friday's show, not to mention the show in sac and the in-store show on friday and are following the band down to san diego. i'm feeling a bit incompetent as a loyal fan. i blame my fever.

traffic school - first timer

i got my first speeding ticket driving 81 in a 65mph in pismo beach, back in june. can you believe it? even after being stopped several times throughout the years, i'd avoided getting a ticket for 13 years. the copper was an utter asshole. it was due time for me. 2 days before, i'd been stopped for going 90+mph, not to mention i was swerving in and out of the lane. when LAPD asked me if i knew how fast i was going or if i'd been drinking, i told him the truth. i was falling asleep. as he looked at my license and noticed i'd travelled about 375 miles, he asked if the address was current. i sheepishly told him yes. then he asked what i was doing in sou cal. i told him i was driving down to see my boyfriend. he began to ask... do you usually go over 90 when you're sleeping on... but stopped in the middle of it and realized how lame the question sounded. then he let me go. i say, perhaps LAPD are not so bad after all? many will beg to differ.
so, back to traffic school. the ticket cost me $225 including the option to take traffic school. i had the option of taking it online, so i did. i decided on comedytrafficschool.com as to help go through it fast and to keep me alert. it was $20 and it took me about an hour. after the first two sections, i went straight to the case studies and quizzes. for the final test, with the help of ted, i got one wrong on the first try. yay! what's cool about it is if you don't pass, you don't pay... well, you do it over until you pass.
i'm so happy i'm done. now if i can only avoid getting a citation for another 15 months...

here i am!

finally... i've been wanting to start a blog for the last 3 years but never got my lazy ass into gear. here we go... enjoy the show!
