I’m getting kinda sick of my Livejournal. I used to keep diaries when I was little and they were fun at first, but I’d eventually abandon them after a few months. Then I’d feel bad, since I’ve always thought that it’s important (don’t know why) for everyone to record their life as it happens. But I hate reading my old entries on this cuz they always sound so dumb, so I end up going back and editing things to death, changing words around, fixing spelling/grammar, blah blah blah. Which defeats the purpose of keeping a journal, cuz once you change stuff, that entry no longer represents how you were feeling the day you wrote it. Whatever. I’m thinking too much about it.
Here are some pics from our 2nd L.A. trip earlier this month! We went down there again for the E3 convention (video game industry trade show), which we got passes for thru Kevin’s work. It was kinda like the Magic fashion expo I went to in Vegas a few months ago, only a hundred times geekier. But still fun!!
View from highway 101. I’m just curious, but does anyone else know what this is? It’s that little island that you pass when you’re driving down 101 to Santa Barbara, but what’s on it? Is it like a private resort or what?
Part of the Electronic Arts booth. Kevin did the art for that Def Jam Fight billboard you see in the background! Neato, huh? I felt like such a proud mama! The convention was pretty cool, actually. Even for someone like me, who doesn’t give a flying shit about video games!! Everyone had huge fancy displays, which were super fun to look at, and you could test out the new video games that haven’t even come out yet.
Me and Jack. He’s so cute, he looks like a giant mosquito!! Hi cut-and-paste, thanks for the lovely dress!!!!!
The badges. I had to pretend to be someone named Julie Gibbs in order to get a VIP pass to go with it. Hahahaha.
So after the convention, we did some shopping and then headed over to Thunderpussy. It was a pretty cool club but kinda dead that nite, so we left early and hung out at Taime’s house with the cat. This cat is the CUTEST THING EVER!!! He actually belongs to the neighbor, but every morning he wanders in thru Taime’s back door to hang out cuz he likes Taime so much. And it’s so cute cuz Taime will leave the faucet running so the cat can drink out of it, and he also lets the cat make himself right at home by pooping in his yard. Heehee.
ISN’T HE PRECIOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Call me crazy, but does anyone else think he kinda looks like Britney Spears? Cuz the bridge of his nose right between his eyes is really high and wide? Never mind. I might be the only person who sees it.
Taime and a very sleepy Kevin playing on the computer.
Me and Taime (Hi Marcy! This is right about the time I sent you that drunken e-mail!)
These socks are the SHIT! sohokitten has them too, but my socks could kick her socks’ asses. ;-) I bought them from irishdaphne (Hi Noreen!) and liked them so much, I wore them for three days straight. Fashion over hygiene, ladies!! The pic came out kinda shitty, but they’re the loveliest shade of pink, so you should all bug Noreen to sell you a pair too!
kitty kat
On Friday morning we woke up and decided to do some shopping. We ate at Tommy Tang’s (is that what it’s called?) on Melrose, and OH MY GOD our waiter was the finest piece of Filipino tranny ass!! I’m sorry if I sound like a dirty old man at Hooters, but hey–men talk about us like that all the time, so give me a break just this once, okay? Remember how I wrote in my last entry about how people in L.A. aren’t so nice to you when you’re not all dolled up? I guess that was not entirely true. We were pretty scrubbed out, but she was all sweetness and giggles anyway. She even gave us a free ice cream at the end, saying, “Free ice cream! Because you are good customer!” HOT. I love L.A.
Afterwards we went back to Taime’s house to rest before going out. Kevin was napping on the couch, and me and Taime were in his room watching TV. Suddenly there was a SUPER LOUD, THUNDERING CRASH! It lasted a long time, so we all jumped out of bed and ran outside. Taime lives on a dead end street right under the freeway, so our first thought was that a car had fallen off the freeway and onto the street below. Luckily, it wasn’t that bad, but it was still pretty bad (but good thing that no one was hurt). The dead end of Taime’s street goes downhill, and some kid had just pushed a big garbage dump down the hill so that it would roll all the way down, hitting everyone’s cars on the way. All the neighbors were standing in the street yelling and cussing, and there was broken glass and smashed tail lights everywhere. Kevin’s car, surprisingly, was completely untouched. His car is tiny, and he had parked it right in front of Greg’s Explorer, so the Explorer blocked it from any damage. Unfortunately though, Greg’s car got pretty fucked and he was really pissed. :-( We were feeling really weird cuz Kevin had been THISCLOSE to parking BEHIND Greg’s car when we got to Taime’s, but decided at the last minute to park IN FRONT of it instead. Lucky Kevin, unlucky Greg. :-(
So after all the commotion died down, we went back inside to get ready to go to the Dragonfly. I am probably going to regret writing all this later cuz crushes are embarrassing to talk about in public journals, but oh well. So we’re getting ready and there’s a knock at the door, and Taime answers it and it’s fucking PAT BRIGGS from Psychotica.
This man was one of my BIGGEST rock star crushes in high school! I must’ve seen that movie “All Over Me” a hundred times, and I think I even wrote him a few love letters here and there too, haha! I had a picture of him taped to the dresser by my bed so I could think dirty stuff about him before falling asleep at nite. So it was weird to fast forward 7 years and see him STANDING RIGHT HERE IN THE FLESH. He was wearing some kind of bondage-y outfit with snake skin and fur everywhere. I said to myself, “This is the weirdest, most awkward thing ever. I vow to act as normal as possible.” Taime got up and said, “Patrick, this is my friend Amy, and Amy, this is my friend Patrick.” I should have said a polite, “Nice to meet you,” but instead my eyeballs turned into hearts and I said, “I know!” DOHHHH!!! Strike one, I’m an idiot, I sound like an obsessive fan.
We got to the club, and it was really fun and packed. For some reason I noticed a lot of people on E that nite! It was so gross! I mean, I don’t have anything against it, but it’s just gross when YOU’RE NOT on it, and you have to watch other people makin’ out and massaging each others’ arms, haha. Some people were dressed up a characters from Scooby Doo and climbing the roof. I didn’t get it.
Pat left early. I’d had a few drinks by now, so I was being a little bit silly when I said goodbye. Someone remind me to just uh… NOT TALK when I’m drunk, okay? My goodbye speech to him went somewhere along the lines of, “Nooo, you can’t leave early! I thought you were the RADDEST when I was in high school! I wrote you a few love letters, but you never wrote back, but that’s okay too because I still think you are rad! So what are you doing these days anyway? Why aren’t you making music anymore? You really should… talented people are rare, so don’t be a dork, and GET WITH IT!” He said something like, “Um. Okay.” Strike Two.
So that’s all I remember from our trip to L.A. Not much else is going on around here. I’m working on my first “collection” FINALLY!! Everyone and their mom has done one and I haven’t, and I hate feeling like I missed the fucking train and that I’m falling so far behind. It’s just so hard for me to stay focused though. I have A.D.D. like you wouldn’t believe, but I am too lazy to talk to a doctor about it. And I’ve managed to function quite nicely for 24 years with it, so big fucking deal, right? No more excuses. I’m going to get my shit together and DO THIS ONCE AND FOR ALL!
Oh yeah, and here’s a picture of me and my new friend Daria! She rescues cats. Hi Daria!
P.S. Thanks Rosemary, for the lovely dress!
Haha
Looking HOT (as usual)
Awww! We missed E3 the last two years due to poor planning but it sounds like you had an awesome time!
Our cat is addicted to drinking out of the faucet and now flat our refuses to drink water from his bowl. -_- He’ll cry and cry until we come out and turn it on for him!!
Re: Looking HOT (as usual)
Cool! I didn’t know you were into video game stuff! Anyway, don’t worry, you didn’t miss much. It was fun to check out something new, but after the first few hours you kind of just walk around doing nothing. And eating overpriced cafeteria food, haha.
I absolutely love your eyeshadow.. as always.
And I do the same thing with diaries. I write to record my life because one day I may want to look back on it, but then when I reread entried I feel like half of what I wrote was something I totally contrived. I think I even gave in and burned a good half years worth of writing.. but I still update =o/
You’re crazy! I save everything, no matter how embarrassing. Haha
” I used to keep diaries when I was little and they were fun at first, but I’d eventually abandon them after a few months. Then I’d feel bad, since I’ve always thought that it’s important (don’t know why) for everyone to record their life as it happens.”
I always did the same thing. I was worried that when I’m 80, I’ll be so upset if I don’t have diaries documenting my whole life. However, a few weeks or months into each journal, I would lose interest, only to start another one a couple of years later. I actually lost all of my childhood diaries, and while the idea of looking back seems nice, I know that the reality of reading how much I wrote about my crushes on dorky boys in gradeschool would be embarrasing, if not traumatizing.
Somehow I am able to keep up with my live journal though; it’s like crack.
I think your pictures have inspired me to go back to LA for a weekend. It’s silly to live in California and not take advantage of the cheap airfare there. :)
Okay this is totally off topic, but do I owe you any money?
I owed someone some money for overcharging on shipping, and I think it was you. But I can’t find the fricking e-mails! :-}
Heh, I totally forgot about it. I guess that shows how worried I was about a couple of bucks. :) My email is kaitalah(at)yahoo(dot)com. It’s no big deal, really.
TODAY’S YOUR LUCKY DAY!
What are you talking about, lady?! I owe you $7… THAT’S SEVEN DOUBLE CHEESEBURGERS FROM THE DOLLAR MENU!!!
Re: TODAY’S YOUR LUCKY DAY!
Ahahahah…I guess I spent so much money on ebay that month, that seven dollars didn’t seem like much. (And I’m a freaking addict- I just bid on two more of your items. Stop listing such cute clothes in size medium!)
Also…
My ebay account may still have been set to my junk email address, ysabet(at)hotmail(dot)com, at the time I purchased those items from you.
JACK!!!! Hehe, you’re lucky. ^.^
That dumpster/car thing sounds pretty funny… I just wish the cars weren’t of anyone you knew.
Glad you’ve been having fun. ^^
Awww if you saw how pissed off everyone was when they ran outside, you’d have felt bad too, haha! :-} Everyone was barefoot and SCREAMING!!!
It’s like a natural disaster or a… FIRE! XD Sorry, I’m weird. >.>
Whoa, looks like Kev & Taime been hittin up the crackpipe in that shot. Heh heh! ;)
NOOO!!
Hey, did you get my e-mail? You going to that party on Sunday, right? Rad!
If I can find a ride. My car took a dump. :(
Trade lives with me for like 2 weeks…you have too much fun…and I’m getting ready to go to the movies by myself…yeah…
You rock…
Um, whatever! I sit at home by myself ALL DAY, EVERY DAY! The highlight of my day is when my cat wakes up and wants to sit on my lap. I can’t even watch TV cuz I am technologically retarded and don’t know how to work the remote control (I am not making this up). I am in my underwear and glasses most of the time. So yes, let’s trade lives for two weeks, haha!
Do you have that mega remote by Sony, that has a touch button screen and you have to swap what ‘thing’ you’re controlling and stuff?
We have one and when people come over they have no clue how to turn the TV on.
Umm… I have no idea. One of the MAIN problems is that we have so many remotes, I don’t know which one I’m supposed to use. And once I think I’ve figured out which one to use, I don’t know how to change channels. I alwyas get fuzz. I am seriously so retarded it’s not even funny!
DEAL!
Holy Fuck! Is that Taime Downs??!?!
Yeah, haha! He’s really fun!
I miss Pat. I wish he would come back. I don’t think he wants to, though.
AWESOME!!! You were a Psychotica fan too?!?!? It’s so rare to run into other Psychotica fans. A lot of people haven’t heard of them because they weren’t around long enough. I wish he would continue doing music stuff, cuz I really loved Psychotica and it’s such a shame. Oh well!
i was really into them. sometimes i still am but they’ve kind of fallen off the radar of my eyes in some ways. but then some days i am like OH YEAH THAT’S THE STUFF.
My friend was sitting in Pat’s room when he was putting on make-up and I think my friend also had pizza with Ena and drove some of the members around for pizza.
My own experience was having Pat sing to me and hold my hand, that was cool. And he dedicated a little part of Little Prince to me.
WHAT!!!! There is nothing hotter than watching a guy put on makeup. If I were your friend, I would have fallen over and died of a heart attack. God, I sound like such a giddy school girl, haha! But seriously. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmeow!
i missed E3 cause of being sick (i had a badge to impersonate someone too, a guy named Emerald, hee hee) also my honey hates those trade shows because they are so LOUD!
glad you had a pretty good time. well except for how nice you were to your high school rocker crush and he acted like a dork to you. he could have been a little nicer since you knew all about his music. his loss!
Noreen is all out of those sox i think. I love them though! So cutie!
<3 eve
Hi Eve!!! Long time no talk! :-D I know, I haven’t been on LJ much, but I do still check out your auctions and wanna say hi every now and then! :-)
HAHAHAHA I love how you would have had to impersonate a GUY, hahahaha! I got a few curious looks for not having an Asian last name on my badge, but no one really questioned it.
Awww, and I wasn’t really worried about the Pat Briggs thing. ;-) I’m sure he just didn’t know what to say cuz I may have made him uncomfortable.
xoxo
Amy
i still check out your auctions every day. sometimes i even bid! :) one of these days I will win a Shrinkle creation!
xoxo
eve
You know what’s really gross? I *think* that island is actually oil derricks, or whatever they’re called. Meaning: they drill oil there, but made it look nice and pretty so that people wouldn’t have to look at ugly oil drills in the middle of their ocean view. Urgh.
Great pics though.
Are you SERIOUS?!?!?!? I always thought it was some exotic vacation resort for rich old people! I can’t believe it’s something as gross as oil derricks. Well at least they did a damn good job of covering it up!!!
So Anna says we might meet up for drinks before Skinny Puppy? Awesome!! I’m not sure what my plans are that day cuz we’re always late for shows, but I’d definitely want to! Either way, we’ll all see each other there, so that will be FUN!
YES, I can’t wait to meet! If you’re too late, I hope to run into you at the show. I’ve never been to this place, so I have no idea how large it is, do you?
Funny, I was asking Kevin earlier if he knew anything about the vnue, and when he said no, I made a mental note to e-mail you and ask what you knew about it, haha! Guess no one’s been there before. Maybe they have a website?
They only recently started having shows there; guess it used to be a movie theater. Plus, they just changed their name. It’s right near my house, which is good because we’re extremely lazy.
Have you noticed everyone and their mom from LJ is going to that show? Should see tons of familiar faces! I actually get really nervous meeting people from the internet, so maybe that’s not a good thing, haha!
Don’t be nervous to meet me, silly butt!
i have those socks too!
I love them, and I wear them with my pink Bjork shirt that is the same color! Speaking of hearts I just bought the cutest black bathing suit with white and red hearts on it.
Jack Skellington is one of my old crushes, and your buddy Taime is one of my new crushes. Don’t tell him I said so.
Re: i have those socks too!
Don’t worry, I won’t tell Taime. But I’m gonna tell your boyfriend that you’ve got WANDERING EYES!!!
Re: i have those socks too!
Oh p’shaw–He doesn’t mind wandering eyes–we both respect each other’s right to be appreciative of hot folks. Now if my pussy started wandering, that would be a problem…. But that’s not going to happen, so its no big deal.
Re: i have those socks too!
Whoa, cool! I just realized they have a cool little icon thing for wandering eyes!
Re: i have those socks too!
that’s so bizarre!
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK. A Nightmare Before Christmas VIDEO GAME? *dies* I MUST HAVE IT. And man I want that Jack statue. Cute kitties. Your friend Taime looks awesome. I LOVE THE SOCKS.
Hahaha! I saw you askin’ Noreen for a pair. ;-) She used to sell buttloads of them, but I don’t know what happened! They’re my new favorites!!
Haha. Awww poo.
There’s going to be another Def Jam game? I’m the master of Def Jam Vendetta, all of my guy friends hate me because I mop up the floor with those suckers.
Someone remind me to just uh… NOT TALK when I’m drunk, okay?
I talk to everyone like that when i’m drunk. Not famous people, but people who I met maybe once a long time ago and they try to say hi to me when i’m smashed and I say dumb things like, “Oh yeah, you’re the guy who used to have that really skanky girlfriend! Oh, you’re still going out? Oops. Bye!”
You’re such a tomboy, hahaha! I SUCK at video games, and that is NOT an understatement. I suck to the 10th power! I haven’t even mastered using the control pad yet. If that’s even what it’s called. My characters never figure out how to stop walking into walls. :-}
Oooooh have you ever gotten your ass kicked for runnin’ your mouth like that while drunk? hahahaha!
Actually no, because the person is usually just as drunk as I am. I never run into people until I hit the 3 a.m. bars for some reason.
My fiancee and I were just watching a program about E3 on Tech TV yesterday. He’s a video game NERD!! I think that would seriously be heaven for him. :p
Oooh, and how cool is that to meet your “celebrity crush”? Shit, I would have probably freaked out if any (and there were lots, yes, I was a dork…and I had it bad for hair band guys back in the day!) of my crushes just showed up at a friend’s house. :) Hell, I had a crush on Taime when he was in his Faster Pussycat days! :)
HAHAHAHAAHHAHAHA! You had a crush on Taime?!! That’s sooo funny! We always die laughing when we see him on those VH1 “Where are they now” specials about hair bands, hahahahahaha! Awesome.
I’m sure my crushes were more embarrassing than yours though. I was into super old men!!! When I was 12, my top two crushes were Michael Keaton and Warren Beatty. Hi, grampa!
Oh god yes… I was a BIG hair band freak and Faster Pussycat was way up at the top. In fact, ever since I read your entry, I’ve been singing FP songs in my head! :D I once met Phil Lewis of L.A. Guns when I was 15 years old. At the time he was THE man I just LOOOVVED. I freaked out and SOBBED the whole time he was signing autographs and all of that. Yep, I felt really cool! :)
I’ve got you beat on the embarrassing crushes, I think. When I was 12 years old, I had it BAD for Mike Nesmith of The Monkees. Yeah, the one with the hat! I would watch the re-runs of the show on Nickelodeon and drool over him. :) My best friend and I just saw Davy Jones perform at EPCOT; yes, we are still Monkees freaks! I have pics of me practically humping Davy’s leg, hee! :)
Thanks Amy, I got e-mails and LJ posts wanting a pair of those star socks!!! I should hunt down every sock shop in this country and see if they have more because from what I can see, I bought them all hahahhaha Lovely pictures though and that dress is hawt!
Shoulda stocked up while you had the chance!!! They are soooooo cute I can’t stand it, and I get tons of compliments on them every time too!!!
actualy i thinhk that island is a privately owned island, with a home on it. but i can be wrong, but i remember driving past it in my raver days and wondering, and my freind told me once..
Damn! How rich would you have to be to fucking OWN that island and build a house on it?!
do you have any more from e-3? i wanna see them if you do!
What a fun trip! My little brother went to e3 too! Lots of free stuff! :D
I know what you mean about wanting to stop keeping an online journal. It’s like a love/hate thing sometimes. And with the editing thing, it’s normal. :) Don’t let it bug you… it happens when you have an audience.
Yeah, I love the free stuff you get at trade shows, but there wasn’t really anything that I wanted for free at E3!!! :-} I mean, it was so stupid. Mountain Dew was giving out “finger cozies,” which they basically said you wrap around your finger so that it’s comfortable while you play video games. Uh…. what? Haha!
And yeah, I know what you mean about the public journal thing. I keep it public cuz a lot of the picture posts are for my out-of-town friends, but sometimes it creeps me out that anyone on the internet can read this. The shit that especially bothers me is that every single thing I write gets criticized in one way or another. One time I used the word “retarded,” and someone got really offended. Another time I used the word “gay” as an adjective to describe something cheesy, and another person wrote in, offended. I should put ratings on all my posts, like PG-13 or R, haha!
as always, you’re too damn cute. stop it, you make me jealous! hehe. sounds like you had a great time in LA! i went to LA once, but i was too young to have any fun….. plus i was with my parents. so yeah, no clubbing for siobhan….. perhaps in the future i’ll get to re-experience the wonders of los angeles.
xo.
HAHA! I remember going to L.A. with my family when I was young. I always thought it was such a squeaky clean town full of sunshine, Mickey Mouse, movie stars, etc. And then when I got older and went back, it was like “Ohhhhhh now I get why it’s REALLY fun, heh heh.”
yay!! Amy! Youre back!! thanks for adding me!! I have a really dumb question. Did you send out the skirt I bought from you? Ive been waiting FOREVER for it!! Hopefully the post office didnt lose it!! Ill be VERY mad!! :)
Hi Nicole! Don’t worry, I haven’t sent it yet! Sorry sorry sorry, I feel so bad for being so slow this week. :-( I plan on sending it first thing Monday though, I promise!!! :-) xoxo
thats totally fine! :) Just as long as its not lost! I cant wait to wear it with fishnets!! Are you still taking drunken bar pics for your website?
they are selling the same socks over at my uni
every 3rd week of the month for $5aud a pair :)
i was thinking of buying them but it was freezing that day & i had to catch the bus
(that only comes every 1/2 an hr …. :/ )
I want to go to E3, we are geeks we are.
I have many dreams about games. :P
Dude, everyone has those socks! How funny!!! We should start a LJ community. Haha.
Oh my god. I can’t believe your socks just challenged my socks to a duel! En garde!!! ha And you did EXACTLY what I warned you about: wearing the socks every day!!! HA HA HA HA AH H Did you do the snap test? Thats when you grasp a piece of kneesock preferably at mid-calf level, pull and let it snap back. Now, notice the dust molecules you have just released into the atmosphere. Sickeningly beautiful. xoxo
No, I didn’t try that. It sounds quite unsanitary. I’m going to have to ask you to take three steps away from me. Thank you!
I do that. Not to see the dead skin cells flying off my legs, but for some unknown reasons. Since we live on opposite sides of the country I think I’m far away enough from you to not have to take three steps away from you.
Does this mean we can’t be sock-buddies? ::shakes fist at sky:: Nooooooo!
I think that little island is some kind of oil-mining thing. Some friends of mine were drunk one night, and they tried driving out to it (smart, huh!), but it was just a bunch of oil drills surrounded by palm trees. Lame!
This sounds creepy but I love your entries and pictures, they always make me laugh so hard. And you’re like.. a kind of makeup-inspiration! :D
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I can’t believe your friends tried driving to it! I’ve always wanted to someday too, but since I thought it was a private resort, I thought there’d be a big golden gate guarding the entrance with pitbulls in diamond collars. Nice to know it’s just oil. Ew!
Thats fine!!! as long as I know its not lost somewhere in the post!Another dumb question…what band was Taime in?
Taime was in Faster Pussycat back in the 80s (haha) and then he started a band called Newlydeads. I havent heard them so I don’t know if they are any good, but some people say they’re not!! haha.
that island is oil derricks. my friend told his daughter it was Cuba, and she actually believed him for years.
… i mean, way past the point when she should have.
xo
You mean… it’s NOT Cuba?
im sorry. its actually Hawaii.
You know, isn’t it weird the stuff parents tell their kids?! When we were little my dad used to say we HAD to sleep with sock on, otherwise our feet would turn into ice cream. I believed him for the longest time and it always made me really really scared to fall asleep at nite if I thought my socks were too thin or when I heard the heater turn off. Haha.
what?! that rides the line between really cute and really screwed up.
my mom told me eating squash would make me glow. her defense now is: i meant it would make you glow with HEALTH.
yeah, because the average 3 year old is going to make that connection.
awww you should update more! Your journal is my favourite to read!!!It’s always so interesting and funny compared to everyone else’s!
yayy! :D
xxx <3
Attika
Aww thanks! I hate updating this thing though… I get so lazy, and I also get way too many rude comments from anonymous posters, haha! But anyway, nice icon. ;-)
drinks=good
hey amy- I got your message, what time will Xenia be here that Saturday? i hafta work til like 7pm. i want to hook up w/ you gals somehow. i’ll get a hold of Xenia & see what’s up…
um, you better get your sorry ass to skinny puppy early so you can meet us before hand. i’m serious beotch.
xo-> aNNa
omg i want that giant jack!!!! <3
I know, isn’t he cute?!?!
Dude, my boyfriend flew across the whole damn country to go to E3. At least he brought me a picture of Vin Diesel…
Was it fun despite your ungeekness?
HAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHHA! Oh my gosh, he took his picture with Vin Diesel?!?!? We were actually going to try to do that at first, but it was way too crowded. Sucks. I wanted to get my picture taken with a celebrity while we were down there, but there weren’t really any good ones! Kevin says when he went a few years ago, he saw the Olsen twins and Gary Coleman. Now THOSE are what I call KODAK MOMENTS! We weren’t so lucky this year.
i have those exact same socks!!!
they must be some sort of global phenomenon…i got them here in Aus. Woah. they’re friggin awesome socks.
That’s so funny! All my LJ friends from around the world have been commenting that they have the same socks too, haha! I was saying we should start a LJ community hahahaa
Your boyfriend works for Electronic Arts? What does he do??? I do video game art for Playstation so just wondering :) Bye.
AWESOME, you do?!?!? Lemme see your stuff!!! I’m not into video games, but I love hearing about this behind-the-scenes stuff. Cuz when you see something in a store, you never really think that someone actually spent months designing it, you know?
Kevin does the cover art for EA games. He did American McGee’s Alice, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, both Def Jam games, and some other shit I can’t remember. Haha, you guys are nerds! :-D
Oh yeah and ALSO, he used to work at Sony too. Wouldn’t that be funny if you guys knew each other? Did you go to E3? We were desperately trying to get into the Sony party, but man it was so fucking exclusive we werent cool enough. Blah!
Hey, my name is Randi and I just wanted to let you know that i think you are so rad. I have been looking at you ebay auctions for like a year now i think u are so awesome. Once i get out of highschool i want to become a fashion designer and i really look up to ur ideas. I also think it is so gnarly that you know Taime Downe too!!I love FP and all those other glam and metal bands! (i love boys that look like girls haha). anyways , i hope you dont think im weird or creepy, and i know u have so many emails and posts to reply to so do feel pressure to have to reply to me.. … buuuut, just in case heres my email ;-) : wastedtime@att.net
Thanks for listening:
Randi
Thanks for the nice note, Randi!! No, I don’t think you’re weird or creepy at all. Why would I? :-)
cat = britney
I can totally see the britney thing. Maybe the ‘kitty face’ was what she was going for with all that airbrushing on her new album. Weird resemblance… though the cat probably lip-syncs more convincingly…
xx
this is going to be the dorkiest comment ever, but does that big jack that you are standing in front of mean that there will be a nightmare before christmas game?
that kitty drinking from the sink is cute. my kitty drinks out of the toilet and always looks like he is going to fall in. he has an amazing sense of balance. :)
Yeah!! I think the game is coming out pretty soon! They had it out so you can play it, and it looked really cute!!! :-D
I have Jack Skellington on my bookbag and Jack Skellington knee socks and two posters with Jack Skellington. I love Jack Skellington. I want the snow globe thing. Nightmare Before Christmas is my favorite movie ever. I wish I could take a picture in front of a huge Jack Skellington. I like your leopard printed thing your wearing (I cant tell if its a tank top or dress). I like your black and pink dress too. I’ve worn fishnets three days in a row before. By the way, that sailor dress I bought from you came a few days ago and I left positive boring feedback (smooth transaction). Its reasons such as that dress that make me glad that I’m tiny. And I was just curious about something: If you get your ebay account suspended because you need to pay off seller fees and ebay pulls all your auctions, wouldnt that just generate more selling fees?
Hey!! I didn’t know you bought the sailor dress. I didn’t make the connection! :-) So it actually fits? Man I wanted that dress so badly when I saw it, but the measurements weren’t given and it didn’t mentoin that it was for KIDS, so blah blah blah.
Oh, and when eBay pulls all your auctions, they refund the fees, so no, it doesn’t generate more! :-}
Yeah, it fits. Just barely, but it fits. Thats good, because if they didnt then pulling auctions for needing to pay fees would be completely pointless. When I wore the sailor dress my friend said something like ”I didn’t realize you were five” or something like that. He must not know me very well.
i dont know if anyone else has said this yet… (im far too lazy to read over all the comments lol) but i think its a military base. thatd be AWESOME if it was a resort, but im pretty sure its just a base they made look all pretty like so when theyre experimenting with bombs and toxic chemicals and crap people wont get their undies in a bunch cause its so non threatning.
thats what i always thought it was for some reason.. i cant remember if someone told me that or i made it up. haha so dont take my word 100% for it!
Haha! Everyone else said they’ve got oil derricks on there. Even worse! But at least they make it look all nice, right? :-)
you know what theyre probably right lol
but yea they get an A for effort haha
Don’t get sick of your journal yet! I’m adding you! :D Tehe…
Haha! Okay! I rarely update it anymore though! :-}
That’s so cool that you got to see the Nightmare Before Christmas game preview … damn I am jealous.
~M.
It’s super cute! Jack jumps around and kinda floats all weird and slow, heehee!
*drools in supremely jealousy at the fact that you were able to go to E3*
Dork!!! :-D
I prefer geek! ; P
Ramblings from a Complete Stranger! :)
Hi Amy! I added you to my friends list because…well…your life is so much more interesting then mine! Well, that and I love your clothes and have been outbid on stuff so many times that it makes me wanna cry. I just want to be a walking billboard for you, damnit!
So, in response to your entry, I hate writing in real journals because I look back in them and get depressed and I also stop writing in them after a few months as well and then I feel even worse because I know I’ll want to remember things when I get old and senile. Somehow writing in an online journal is better for me and it’s a bit harder to just “flip” through the pages of them and get depressed. So, I keep up with it pretty well.
I am so jealous that you got to go to E3. I live in Florida and my friend, Annie, just moved to San Juan last year and I have a pic of her in the exact same spot in front of Jack Skellington!
And I’m also jealous that you know Taime Downe! Though, I admit, I have never heard Faster Pussycat…I am a Newlydeads girl, myself. ;)
Anyways, yeah..so I’m done rambling! Keep up the good work!
Re: Ramblings from a Complete Stranger! :)
Hahahaa! My life isn’t really more interesting than anyone else’s; it’s just that I ONLY update when I have pictures to post!! That’s why when someone goes thru my journal they think, “She’s ALWAYS doing something!” But yeah, I should post pictures of me every OTHER day, sitting here in my granny panties checking my e-mail and sewing, haha.
How funny, I’ve never heard the Newlydeads at all. And I’d never heard FP till I met Taime. I was never really into the hairband thing, but I love watching all the VH1 specials!! :-D
Re: Ramblings from a Complete Stranger! :)
Newlydeads weren’t really glamrock…they were heavier. I couldn’t tell you what genre…I’m horrible with that whole labeling music thing.
Now that you mention, I see how you skip weeks at a time! The truth is out!!! I’m telling!!!! The world will know that Amy sits in front of her comp in granny panties, sewings clothes while her cats bat at the yarn balls on the floor. Wait…that sounds familiar…damn…I do that too…except I’m usually just fixing something while you’re creating beautiful tops that you’re going to make mega $$ selling. Bitch. ;)
Now if I can just stop getting outbid on your auctions, I’d be a happy camper….
“..and he also lets the cat make himself right at home by pooping in his yard.”
Holy crap, I just read that part again and it sounds like Taime makes the cat feel at home by pooping in the cat’s yard. What a delightful host! LOL HA HA HA. I was probably the only one on earth that found that paralyzingly amusing. O_o xoxo
i poop in it too
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA! I actually laughed out loud at that. You have a dirty mind. Go clean it with your socks!!!
Re: i poop in it too
At least I’m not alone. ha ha And maybe I should use your socks to clean my mind. They have special *shrinkle dust* lurking within. LOL ^_~
Ha ha on the socks, I got one pair of Noreen first then a second cus I love them so much & wore them all the time, Ant did try & pry the socks of me at one point but I didn’t let him, expect both my pairs are in Purple, cus you know I love Purple, arf! Did I mention you look really cute in the pic with youe kitty Kat…
*Huggles*

i just kinda fell upon your journal and i bought some stuff off you once.
i have a cat that looks like one of the english football (soccer) team players. all her facial features are in the middle of her face and so are the footballers. so its kinda the same as the britney spears cat
The island is called Rincon Island, and yup its oil stuff. sorry if someone already posted that.
