Can any of you help me make a website for my art? Like ASAP? I'll pay.

I can't believe how long I've had this thing. I started this in 2002 after my other lj became over run by drama. I never update anymore even though things are happening all around me. I have so much to say but I have a hard time feeling secure. Maybe it's time to get an actual paper book.

I want to keep something like this because my memory seems to be deteriorating and I like looking back on things that remind me that my life isn't as shitty as it seems at the time.

Cookies with Dr. Carolyn Farb was a success. She loved my painting and is having it hung up in her home next to her Frida Khalo and Julian Schnavel (or Schnabel?) works. I didn't know her little dog had recently died, so I'm glad I included "Bogie" in the painting with her. Now they can be together forever!

After she left, Jason and I talked with this older man, Larry Poe, who was room mates with Julian S. (before he was well known) when he was younger and was BFFs with Billy Gibbons from ZZ Top. What a small world! I didn't even realize they lived in and around Pearland until recently.

We went drunk swimming which was soooo much fun, if a little scary. I haven't been swimming since I was 12 and came the closest I ever will to skinny dipping (just under garments)... in a Catholic school pool! Then we went to Taco Cabana and binged on quesadillas and totally blew my diet. We then walked to the park by the Angelica film center to look for this homeless man who sang to us one night and Jason got to puke up all his Taco C. I was so jealous. Ha! That was the most calories I've had all week. Carolyn Farb had also mentioned that she had been fasting for 7 days. I thought it was hilarious how she can use the word "fasting" and it doesn't sound as bad as anorexia when it means exactly the same thing.

On another note, I just checked my grades and I'm so excited! I was worried about my principles of drug action class but I got a transferable grade and I don't even have to take the final!!! I love the class but the test questions are so specific that no one makes very good grades in there. I'll now be able to move with my parents if I so choose without having to retake any classes.

Here we are again. Another birthday is coming up and I already feel depressed. I'm turning 21 and I thought I'd like to have a party for the first time since I was 8 and make it an event like most people do on this particular benchmark. But then I wondered, "Where am I going to have this party and who's going to show up?".


I remembered then that I don't have any friends and I still live with my parents.


Happy fucking birthday to me.

Just in case anyone was wondering, Craig's episode airs tomorrow (Feb 23) at 3pm on channel 13.

My parents are moving within the next year. They're not sure where, but it will be in IL (Dad's family), IA (Mom's family), or WI (My sister). Depending on how close they end up to Chicago, I may go with them. I really liked Minneapolis but I don't think I could handle -20 anymore.

The main criteria for my moving with them is the restaurants! The Twin Cities have more variety than Houston, but I've always wanted to go to Chicago. And school of course. I need a the UH equivalent of the north, GPA and money wise. And you know, there's also the issue of Craigers and Jason... I wish I could take them with me. And Mogul. I know there are no better Indian restaurants in the country. You just can't beat it. :)

I just hate it here so much. I hate the weather, I hate the conservatives, I hate that my parents don't love each other anymore, I hate the way our family has felt since moving here, I hate all these retarded rednecks with their "look at my big penis" trucks, I hate that the seasons never change, I hate that the ocean is brown, I hate that the people are brown.


But that's even if I go at all, which is a slim chance.

Lots to think about.

I always thought my family was so normal...

Happy 18th Hilary Duff! Now it won't be statutory rape when I get my hands on you! It will only be regular rape! YAY!

Be sure to have lots of sex today while watching your favorite episode of Lizzie. Preferably season 3 so it's not TOO icky.

All that got damaged was a couple of banana trees in the back yard.

I think it was that the government did such a shitty job with Katrina that they wanted to scare us out of town so it wouldn't happen again. And scare us they did! More people died or were hospitalized trying to escape than in the actual hurricane. I don't think anybody died, actually. What a shame.

Hey, I still get to go see Ashlee Simpson on Tuesday!
