My birthday is wrapping up in New Zealand time, but it's still happening in the US...right? I was born 28 years ago (yeaaaah) at the old Pennsylvania hospital near 8th & Pine in Philly.
I think the only way to make birthdays less depressing is to celebrate it many days in a row.
Thursday-
We went to see the Teacups @ Hopetoun Alpha. They were so girly and lovely.
I made this video montage of their performance. (LSL you'd love them!)
You can check them out here:

Friday-
Crease and I stayed in since we were too tired from a busy work week and the show the night before. We ate pizza and drank champagne, and watched a few more episodes of "Skins" S2.
aka. perfect night in slothville
Saturday-
I got a haircut. Chris and I had lunch at Raw Power! We ate delicious tofu sandwiches and scramble. I went on a mini-shopping spree in the city centre and in Newmarket. Came home took a nap, got ready, I wore this dress by CUE...(scored secondhand, thank you dress gods!)
So cheerleader, still...I can't help it!
We had dinner with Jeff, Nancy, Kimia, Matt and Jess at an Indian restaurant on K-road. =)
Drank a lot of wine, ate really good food with good company, recorded some silly videos (stay tuned for that),and then headed over to The Studio to see The Buzzcocks. They were SPOT ON amazing. They still have it. I am turning into one of those people who hates new music. Steve Diggle looks like he's having the time of his life and points his finger every other minute which Jeff and Chris couldn't stop laughing about. There were so many old school punks now adults there. So many older men, smiling and singing to the music of their youth. I didn't get to talk to Steve, oh well. =( I recorded most of their set, which I'll post soonish. Before we walked into the show, the bouncer glanced at my ID. As we walked out, he wished me a happy birthday 10 minutes before my birthday kicked in! How sweet!
We went to a gay bar (Family) and danced for a good ten minutes...and I welcomed 28 (oh god, 30 is rapidly approaching, no offence!) in the Southern Hemisphere, dancing like I was 21 again at Sasha's/Tramps. After that, we left and went to Whammy Bar for the "after party." We saw some fun rock band that looked and sounded very 90s.
Sunday(Today)-
I slept in, Crease made me breakfast, watched more "Skins," finished up some chores/errands, went to the mall, had my birthday noodles (It's a superstitious Filipino/Chinese thing.) We drank coffee, had carrot pineapple cake...and passion fruit sponge cake. Relaxed at home, and I made a cake to bring into work tomorrow. That's about it...
Chris said it best, "You don't realise how lonely you are until you celebrate your birthday in a foreign country not knowing anybody." That was the case last year. Thankfully not this year.

after reading textsfromlastnight.com i feel my partying has taken a backseat. unacceptable. barring last weekend and my little rager i had by myself after skeletonwitch (hi kate. how was your eem dial?), what have i done? nothing.
too mellow. too soon. time to utilize my cousin at kent state and convince her to not suck at life.
i need to be in the presence of tyler bradberry 24 hours a day. WWTBD? new life slogan.

| cheated |
[13 Nov 2009|09:47pm] |
i'm being cheated quite a bit on my rent! i don't know if i should be pissed off at the situation. it's not like i'm busting my butt to make rent or anything. I agreed to pay the amount I'm currently paying, so why am I kind of pissed now? Should I say anything? I know I won't be able to find much cheaper rent, unless I find people to move into a new place... but that requires a deposit, a lease, and all that not-fun stuff.
what do you think?
numbers: i pay 400.00 a month for my own large room. I think everyone else is paying 250 a month (even Chase who is in the master bedroom with attatched bathroom). One might be paying even less than that, but he's only here 2 times a month, so who cares?
What do you think?
more numbers: I make 10.50 an hour. I work about 33 hours a week. I make about 1200.00 a month.
gah! I need opinions!

I ordered the Macbook today. I am very excited to get a compact, little computer. I mean, i love my first generation Powermac G5, but it's from 2003 and very old now. I'm sad to think that I might not ever use it again?!?! I hope that's not the case though. I'm excited!!
With that said, Sharylon gave me the check for 835.00 for the painting i did for her and Randy! I am so lucky to have crossed paths with this wealthy family!
Also! I bought the PERFECT dresser off of craigslist. 5 drawers, off white, old, and 50 bucks! This is the first piece of furniture that I own that I can't carry in my car! I'm not sure how i feel about that. I liked the mobility of everything before. Oh well! Now I'm a bit more grounded, I guess!
I guess that's all? I'm boring! I like my boring life though. I need to think of an idea for a painting. an actual idea! And i'm always looking for penpals to send thoughts and doodles to.

Summer is supposed to start next month...it's still in the 50s//60s.
We're finally going to Wellington! (I will probably like it better than Auckland.)
Camera Obscura is finally, finally playing a show in the same country I'm living in.
Neko Case is coming too.
We went to the Coromandel peninsula w/ some friends over the weekend.
We stayed in Pauanui, hiked in Cathedral Cove, and got "fush & chups" (vege burgers) in Tairoa.
We watched so many epidoes of "Skins" season one.
I really fell in love with the Sid & Cass storyline.
Cass is so spacey and so cute. (and tragic)
"Oh wowwwwwwww...totally."
I'm still about 6 months behind with photos.
It'll be easier to update now that I don't have to work 12-13 days in a row anymore.
Ahhhhhhhh, f+ck it!

I'm seriously exhausted. I can't remember the last time I wasn't stressed out at work. I really miss being around ppl I can relate to (as strange as that is since there r a bunch of us at psd who do the same thing) but I feel like no one understands my cases or is on my level. Having friends who do the same job also isn't the same. I guess basically I need my classmates back. I need their positive reinforcements, their understanding, and their encouragement. I wish everybody wasn't so spread out now that we've all graduated. Ugh.
I am over qualified for my job. Plain n simple. And its really taking a toll on me.
