02:33am 05/04/2004
  My weekend was pretty action packed. I don't think I've ever done so much manual labor in my life. So I helped Dilean move and it was an experience let me tell ya. First we go to Ikea to purchase a "loft bed" for her. The parts of the bed were so goddamn heavy. To transport them from the loading dock area into her car was a task in itself. Then I had to sit in this contorted position in the car all the way back to Silverlake, which I didn't really care about, I was laughing half the time because it just looked so fucking funny.

So parking in Silverlake is total ass, and she's living right on Sunset and Hyperion so it's an especially bad area for parking. We had to hazard it in some shady taco stand parking lot. By this time it was about 10pm. This is where I realized exactly what I had gotten myself into. Homegirl lives at the top of a hill behind all the shops off sunset, so there are about 4 flights of stairs we have to climb to get into the apt. Good times!! So Jay, Dilean, and I all carry the gargantuan pieces first. With all three of us carrying it, we were still struggling that's how fucking heavy it was. My hands were raw and red by the time we got everything up there. So fast forward to getting all the shit into her room. We then proceed to attempt the assembling of the loft bed. We open the 3 boxes which contained all the parts for this thing, included was a gallon sized bag with about 100 screws and wooden thingies in it. I could tell it was going to be a long night. To top it all off I had failed to bring any snacks for myself, knowing perfectly well before I went that it would probably be hard to find something vegan in her place, and I didn't have the cashflow for eating out. Ashley got really sick again and they had to leave (poor thing was shivering and sweating!!). So it was up to Dilean and I to finish. We were so deliriously tired and hungry we put half the shit on the wrong way and spent even more time undoing it all. It was just a total fiasco.

We decided to deal with it later and we went to that super trendy joint Fred 62 which is mediocre by the way, but it was the most accesible place at that hour that would cater to my needs. We had a nice dinner (at 2:30am!), we were going completely insane and I was singing like a total lunatic to all the songs that were coming on, at one point 'Nothing But a G Thang' came on and the cd started skipping, well, I took my plate and pretended to scratch it like a record. Yeah, like I was a DJ. I know, I know I'm a total ass. Dilean sure got a kick out of it though. She was nice enough to treat me even though it was a mistake and I was so out of it that I forgot to put my card in the folder thing (honestly I did!!). Then without warning, we just had to run into the EX. I felt so bad for Dilean, it was just the perfect garnish to add onto our winning evening. We then drove to Whittier to get her mattress. I was so out of my mind, in the car I was talkin all this weird shit. mainly about TLC. I finally got to bed at 4:30am. It was really fun in hind sight though. I don't get that much action in my life usually. Yeah, that's sad. My midterm is next week.

random brain synapses   
03:06am 29/03/2004
 
mood: calm
music: jack breathing kitty sleep breaths
School has totally changed me. I find that I've been dealing with stress in the best way. Totally zen, no one can piss me off lately, and that's just the best feeling. The weird thing about school is that I've gained all this trivial knowledge about Star Trek, that I would never know about in a million years if it weren't for my class. I was not aware that every episode of Star Trek had philosophical meaning, and that the Matrix was fashioned after Plato's The Allegory of the Cave. Ain't that some shit.

Wednesday is my last day as an animal product consumer. I am going vegan, it's really exciting, and I don't give a shit what anyone has to say about it. I am in a 3am delirious state right now, and will not take full responsibility for anything I say herein. *********** I swear if I don't get into bed I can stay awake forever, I never get tired unless I get into a comfort zone. This has been tested on numerous occasions, and I am convinced I'm the best at staying awake than anyone I know.
Claim 1: Driving back from seeing Death Cab in Santa Cruz; I drove the entire way there, which was cake. We saw the show and drove back to L.A., our drive really starting at 1am because we got lost for about an hour LOL. It was Alvarez's turn to drive and he lasted about 1 1/2 hours before he started to see double. I was so pissed because we had all agreed that we would do equal driving. Neomalie was knocked out in the back seat half an hour into the drive. So it was just up to me. I drove until 9 am without any problem. I was pretty cranky though, I insisted on playing whatever the fuck I wanted and however loud because they got to sleep, so I said, "fuck you," and I listened to Destiny's Child at full volume. It was the best hahahahahah I must've listened to "Say My Name," about 10 times. It was so fucking great.
Claim 2: I went out with my roommates while they did their narcotics and went dancing. We went to this club that only people on drugs can go to because it starts at 3am and doesn't close until 10am. It's called, "Does Your Mama Know," I can't believe I decided to go out to this place to begin with. It was a sort of test for myself. All I had was a cup of coffee and a Dr. Pepper. I even danced to House music! HAHAHAHAHAHA
I went to bed at 9am. I was up for 24 hours straight, it was amazing. I guess in a way I kind of wanted to show them that it could be done without the substance. They couldn't believe that I lasted, I really showed them.
It's so cool to have Dilean with me in school too. We've been hanging out a lot more and it's been the best. I love going to see Ole play. Ole is my new fav. band hehehehehehe. All the bands they play with are fucking amazing too. The Meeting Places are so good. Girl drummers are so in right now babe LOL Carlo and Marc are awesome too. Carlo esp. ;)
Okay I suppose it's time for me to lay down. I do work tomorrow, I don't know who I think I am.

Today I worked
it was not fun
and I did not sleep last night
which made it less fun

Now I am going to read my philosophy book
this is my Saturday night.
oh joy.

this is not a song,
I just don't feel like typing all the way to
the end of the field
ok enough of this shit.

I saw a great band yesterday, they were called The Meeting Places and they were all hot as fuck. Not to mention they played awesome music, which majorly contributed to their hotness in my eyes. Their music made me want to be in love. Which I know nothing about anymore, it's been so long. My San Francisco shots came out so ace!!! I'm so happy with them!!!!!! It was so gloomy on the way there, I got some rad photos from the side of highway 5 too. Also, there are pictures of the three of us fools being bad in the hotel room. Funny shit. I look like a total psycho in one of them, it was intentional though, I remember giving that psycho face when Katrina told me to smile. I can't ever be normal when someone else takes a shot of me. Only when I'm doing self portraits. I like to pretend I'm fuckin Cindy Sherman or something. Whateva! Tomorrow (today) I'm hanging out w/ T-dawg and E-dawg. Should be fun, we'll cause ruckus up in tha hood, maybe we'll watch Purple Rain for the thousandth time. Sorry, I went all ghetto, I don't know where that came from.

LOLOLOLOL Joyleen and I sang "I Got You Babe" at karaoke tonight. I was supposed to be Sonny, and she, Cher. But she just ended up serenading the foliage on stage instead, what a fuckin foo. That was pre-spewing, mind you. It pretty much went to shit after that. I couldn't remember what lines were Sonny, so I just ended up singing the whole thing while she writhed around on the floor, holding the tree on the side of the stage. It was fucking fantastic. Note to self: cut Joyleen off after 4 drinks....

So I'm sitting here, my best friend of my life was fucking drunk off her ass spewing in my toilet 2 minutes ago. GOOD TIMES!!!! I actually used the Wayne's World quote in the correct context!! "If you're gonna spew, spew into this...," I was really quite pleased with myself. Of course she didn't get it. She's fuckin beligerant, and crying/talking about her Dad. I don't know why I feel the need to reaccount this is my journal. But I guess it's a side of her I haven't seen. At least this honest. I'm glad to be of help nonetheless. That's what friends are for. She's finally gone beddiby, so I get a break for the moment. I've had a fantastic time on my vacation. I cut all my hair off, the hair I had been growing since 2001. "I feel changed around, and instead of falling down, I'm standing up the morning after." Beautiful words, from a beautiful man. I want to keep the air around me, I'm scared that it will go away again. That I will have the repellant quality come back. There's really not much more to say, I'm afraid I'll spoil the wonderful feeling I have by writing about it, honestly. So I just can't do it. The end.

Valentine's Day is tomorrow. I've come to the conclusion that when ever I am with a significant other, I will not celebrate this horrific day. Like Outkast says, every day should be Valentine's Day. So fuck it, I don't need no cupid to show how much my love is worth. That's a bunch of shit. Hehehehehe I had some booze after work, celebrating Jenny's bday. YAY! We're going to see the photo exhibit at Hammer during the week. My super spectacular vacation is going to be fun filled, I promised Linka tonight I wouldn't set a foot into A&I while I'm out, and I intend to keep my promise. Refreshed and at ease is what I hope to be when I come back. SUper exCItement!!!!!!!!!!! OHHHHHHHH. My mommy is so cute, she knows I have no one for Valentine's Day so she wants to take me out to lunch and a movie. AWWW, I heart MOM!!!!!!!!! She's the best mom in the whole wide world!!!!!!!!!!! Ok, I'm done, I feel like watching Emeril.

the city is a million miles away~~

I wish today was Friday, but I have to leave for work in 5 min. I am so congested, I can't breath through my nose for shit. I had one of those awful sick sleeps. Where you wake up every hour so you can de-clog your sick orrifices. EEEEWWWWWWWW!!!!!!! Pump the brakes playa! T.M.I.!!!!!!!! At least I'm not spewing like Ashley. She was busting excorcist styles on Tuesday night, she had to go to the hospital. Yipes Stripes!! Scary! I'm thankful for my stomach of steel during times like this. It takes a lot for me to spew. For some reason I'm in gross out mode today. Time to go sell my soul to the devil for pocket change. That was a quick 5 minutes

I'm going to be so much more fun to be around because I won't be wanting to commit every 5 min. from work stress. A&I can kiss my grits!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm going to be a vintage clothes selling phenom. In my dreams!!!!! Hmmm, I wish I had the most miniscule bit of business savvy, but alas, I am a dud.....

This morning I remembered my dream for the first time in so long. I was so excited because it was evidence that there is still a shard of creativity left in my brain!! The dream was so wacked out in so many ways. I will try to recollect in detail, but I'm sure many parts have been lost from memory since this morning.

So it started out I was at Katrina's house in Palmdale visiting with her like high school times. She was mad at me for something and told me that she thought I should go to the grocery store and get food for her mom because I had spent the weekend there and ate all their food (hahaha) her words were, "Alissa, when do you get paid? February 1st? Because I think you need to go get more vegetables, milk, and eggs for my mom," I was so mad at her, I blew up and was like, "you're fucking kidding me, right?! That's insane, I haven't had anything since I've been here!" There was just wierd vibes going on between us.

The next part is a little hazy but the next thing I remember is being at my mom's house in the backyard and L.A.O was playing at some party I was having, in my backyard. It was the most bizarre thing, there was a giant shoebox that was a metallic pink color. It was laying with the open side facing the sky and that's where the "dance floor" was. They were playing inside this giant shoebox which was sitting in the middle of the lawn in my mom's backyard, and you had to jump the side of the huge shoebox which was about 5 feet high, in order to see the band. I was getting mad because everyone was crushing it while trying to get over and it was getting all dumpy looking. Apparantly I owned this big shoebox and was trying to take good care of it. (????wtf???) I was hanging out with Katrina again in this little scenario and we were with her cousin Sophia, they both did not want to be there and I was pissed because it was my party and they were supposed to be having fun. I remember Katrina walking out the side gate in the backyard at some point.

The next part I remember, which is where it gets way fucking wierd, was I was in some kind of flower arranging class. It was being held in a classroom type place and my high school history teacher, Mr. Komen was the teacher of the class. (HAHAHa) I did not want to be with the rest of the class and I told him I wanted to go into the private room because I didn't want to be around any of the other people for some reason. I went into this "private room" and it looked exactly like a bathroom, I mean, it had all the bathroom characteristics. Tile on the wall, linoleum floor, medicine cabinet, etc. except there was no toilet or shower. I sat at this desk, all alone that was in the middle of the room. There was a PA system, like in high school where I was getting the class instructions on by Mr. Komen. All the flowers were next to me on the table and as I was trying to make my arrangement they kept breaking and falling apart. All the petals were falling off when I would hold them, and I couldn't use a lighter hand for some reason. I was just handling them too roughly. I tried to arrange them in the vase and they were all broken at the stems. I got up to go get assistance from Mr. Komen and saw that everyone else's arrangements were perfect and all finished. They were all just standing there looking at me with their perfect flower arrangements. I told him about my flower problem and he reached into something behind the desk and gave me this bug that looked like a really big potato bug. It was about 4 inches. He told me to put it in the vase and it should help. (uh...yeah, okay) So I go back and put the bug in the vase and it wakes up from it's little ball and starts burrowing into the green oasis foamy stuff at the bottom of the vase. All of a sudden it all turns into this sand and starts overflowing out the top of the vase. Then the table grows like 5 feet because it's now above my head, and an insane amount of sand is pouring out onto me. I remember putting my fingers in it and it felt so real. It was like a sand waterfall. This is when Katrina's cell phone started ringing and I woke up. I know I left some parts out, and I can't remember transitions at all. Fucking bizarre, man. I need to wake up early more often, I tried to explain it to Katrina and Elizabeth when I woke up. Katrina always says the same thing to me when I tell her about my nutty dreams. "You smokin' crack before we go to sleep? What's going on?"

mood: hopeful
music: my bloody valentine- (when you wake) you're still in a dream
I don't realize how comfortable I am in my little day to day routine until I get thrown into a new environment without warning. I opened my windows for the first time in months, my room looked completely different in the new light. I'm always so paranoid that people are going to see into my room, it feels like such an invasion of privacy, and I'm an extremely private person. I think I need to let a little more of everything into my life. In all aspects.

I'm tired of just wanting to sleep when I get home from work. I want the urge to create things again. I am becoming so disgustingly adult it kills me. I know it's not me! On the weekends I get a little taste of how I used to be then Monday comes way too fucking fast and I'm back on dead mode. I feel dead inside. I can't even elaborate in the way I'm writing, my mind is so fried with work terminology. Matte/glossy/normal/mounted/cropped/do you need any film today????? I am deeply affected by my environment and I have been this way since I was young. All I feel at work half the time is bitterness and just a longing not to be there. I wish I could be switched to a production position. I got to hang out at Prints and Digital today and see how all the kick ass pro prints are made. I was completely at ease sitting at the computer retouching a scan, I was enjoying work for the first time in awhile. I am so reserved and way too quiet to be a front counter person, and the fact that they're taking a sales approach to the company now and I'm supposed to be some sort of salesperson is just hilarious. The way clients get in my face and are so condescending towards me and everyone at the counter is really hard for me to deal with. I like mellow people and everyone who comes in just seems like they're fucking high! When I drive to work, I get so pissed when the Cloverfield exit comes up, always way too fucking fast. I want to keep driving always, all the way to the ocean. My vacation is going to be fan-fucking-tastic. Here is a list of the things I plan to do/accomplish. It's a modest list, but the small things are what's important to me and what I have been unable to do for quite some time.

1. Read at least 3 books
2. go to the beach at least twice a week
3. drive to Joshua Tree to shoot
4. drive to burned tree area off 10 to shoot
5. drive to El Mirage dry lake bed to shoot
6. wake up before 11 am at least a couple of times
7. make my way up to San Francisco for a weekend
8. shoot there
9. get my car washed and detailed inside
10. do yoga every morning
11. go visit Heather
12. go night shooting in downtown (with an escort of course)
13. clean the house
14. hang out with my brother
15. take Asia to the dog park
16. gather up all the negs/slides I want printed
17. organize all my photo junk (this is a HUGE task)

I know that if I don't make some kind of itinerary for myself I'll just waste away on the couch for two weeks. I will not let this happen. Writing this is a kind of way to assure myself. Time to take a shower
