Okay so I haven't updated my blog in easily over a year.. shit maybe two. I'm trying to link all my goodies together so that it's not such a pain in the ass to update everything. So lets see if this works?
Oh and a pic just for fun.
So I googled Crochet Online Community before I wrote my last post and clicked on a link.. Well I checked it out and there is no way if I made anything it could compete with ravelry.com. Period. Online communities sure aren't what they used to be. :(
So I've finally come to the realization that there's no way for me to keep up more than one blog at a time. I try to keep my LJ posts imported in here but it just doesn't seem to cut it. While I still love vox more than LJ I find that I have many many more friends on LJ than I do on here and have a better all around blogging experience. I love the fact though that Vox does allow me to import my LJ posts, while LJ does not allow any importing.. really at all. They suck. The end. But I still use them more.
Sorry for not posting, sorry for randomly importing a bunch of posts at one time, and sorry for not keeping up on your blogs.
Okidoki so I talked to my friend gareth and he said that I need to update. and I do.
I just don't know what to update about. I suppose I should've been updating regularly but I suck and I didn't. So I suck. ITS TRUE.
Okay so my sisters babyshower rocked. She got all kinds of goodies and I'm excited to see what her new baby is going to look like. I've gotten to know her bf better and that's pretty cool. I didn't really talk to him a whole lot last summer while I was here because well I didn't know what exactly to talk about. Now I do. haha.
I got my ass kicked by a dog shock collar, thanks sid. Sid being my sisters significant other. haha. It sucked. Should've recorded it, I could've been a star on youtube.
I watched Southland Tales last night which kind of put my mindset in a funk. The apocolyptic theme to it where excellent. But after reading Its the End of the World As We Know it, it kind of hit home a little too much. The possibility of the world coming to an end is something I try to keep out of the front of my mind. I trip on shit like that. Damn drugs.
I'm trying to figure out how I'm going to get my shit moved and kyle down here. I probably wont be able to go home until the 15th which is when Kyle and I wanted to move down here. Fucks up my schedule a bit but theres nothing much I can do about it so theres no point in me getting upset about it. Just stresses me out which is no good.
I'm hoping that kyle can manage to get all our shit in storage and then my dad can just pick him up in Redding, CA.
I'm going to miss our Tokatee Falls camping trip. Shaunna is going to spread Leons ashes and I really wanted to be there but I also realize that I got my closure during the funeral and don't necessarily need that to make me feel better about things. He's not in the urn waiting to be spread out, he's already out and about doing whatever it is he's supposed to be doing.
Other than that not a whole hell of a lot is happening. I'll update as things change. :) Promise!
So I made an unexpected trip to santa cruz yesterday. Today I had to go to my uncles funeral which sucked a bit. It didn't suck in the sense that the funeral was ran badly, but in the sense that theres a lot of "wish I would've" going around. It was a nice Catholic funeral and we had a reception of sorts afterwards. I got to see a lot of family I haven't seen in years, lots and lots of cousins and a few cousins I didn't even know I had.
how I got down here though is a whole other story. I hitched a ride to Redding california with my sister in law who had to go to a job interview.. that worked out super well. Except that we ended up getting lost and because of that my father also got lost. That sucked. SUPPPPER LOTS OF STRESS. Argh, and god knows I have enough stress happening as is. finally caught up with my father and we started cruising home. I forgot just how fucking miserable the sacramento valley is. Jesus christ it's like a giant convection oven. Arrghghghg. No AC thought I was going to die. Last night when we finally got in to my dads house my brain was so fucking fried I'm surprised I could even hold a conversation with someone.
A week from tomorrow is my sisters baby shower, so I am glad I get to go to that even though I'm a shitty sister and have no gifts. I guess being here will just have to be enough. :D
Oh did I mention it's about a bizillion degrees here and MUCH more humid than Klamath Falls? Gross. I feel really icky.
I'm getting ready right now to road trip up to eugene, (yes again), so that I can watch Kirsten, my sister in law, graduate. I feel like I just got home and now I have to leave again. Ugh.
My life is in such a fucking tornado right now, which is why I haven't been posting, just too much BS. Can't stand it anymore. I'm putting in mucho applications around town for rentals during the beginning of next week. Theres no reason Kyle and I can't get a nice place of our own. Kyle makes enough money, and our rental history is good. I can't wait. Hopefully we get into somewhere decently nice but even if it's just safe enough that's good enough for me. I have tricks to make shabby places look fabulous. haha.
In other news, I had to change hosts for my website. I don't really even know why the fuck I have one. I really wanted one, but now I just don't know. I miss having massive internet friends that I keep up with via IM's and Blogs but hell, I don't really have the time to update anymore....
Okay so that's a lie, I have plenty of time, just not a whole lot to update about. YES MY LIFE IS BORING
I already knew that.
But in other news, not a whole lot happening. Just crap I can't change, and the shit I can change, I am changing. Hoorah for that.
Mainly just stupid hosting. My hosting got 86'ed and now I don't have a host for www.prettylikedrugs.com. I made a wordpress account (http://amathria.wordpress.com) but it wont allow me to forward my domain to there. I'm pretty bent out of shape about it. I was totally stoked to have a website back.
If anyone knows of kickass free hosting pleeeease let me know. I don't even care if it's a stupid url as long as I can make prettylikedrugs.com point there. Otherwise theres no real point in me having a website, I can just use LJ and Vox. Lol.
Monroe Vacation rocked. I gotta put my pics up, but I haven't had time today. I had to watch Iven (my nephew) for a few hours this afternoon and that has mostly taken up my day. I've also got to call a few rental agencies because Kyle and I are moving out. Just got to find a place. I'm still super stoked about how cheap housing is here. Kyle and I can easily afford to have our own house. w00t.
I'll update more later. I gotta get my guitar shit together so I can take it to pawn for two weeks. Atleast then we'll have money to put in applications with. Then we can get it back out when kyle gets paid... o0o0o I can't wait to move.
well I've finally manned up and decided.. I'm going to be a blonde again. Woo! Right now I can feel the bleach on my scalp.. which I've always associated with the feeling of millions of tiny worms trying to get their way into my brain. Of course at this point in my hair dying career it's a mere feeling, no pain related. I'm stoked. Hopefully the red and black come out with little problems. Of course the second box of color I bought has lift properties also so even if it isn't perfect this time around, it should be the next time.
I went to the DMV (department of motor vehicles) today in order to get my new ID card. They wouldn't accept my proof of address. Okay fuckers it is a BILL and has my address on it and their address, what the hell is there not to accept? Guess a vet bill isn't enough.. should've brought the human doctor bills. haha. I'm a dork.
I'm really hoping that my hair wont be fucked after two boxes of color, cause if it is, it will be on my ID card for the next 8 years.. of course if it's terrible i'll just fork out another $30 and get a new pic.. I'm terribly vain.
I've had kind of a rough week. We had a massive heat wave hit here on thursday which (I'm assuming) caused one of my mothers female cats to have her kittens prematurely. It was the weirdest thing I'd ever seen. Of course I tried my damnedest to feed them and make sure they would live. I'd stay for another two monthes if it meant saving kittens... however they wouldn't feed from me and because they weren't crying even my mothers very excellent serogate(sp?) Swirly wouldn't adopt them.. and that cat will adopt anything she can love. They died two days later. Wish kyle was here because he would've taken care of it as humanely as possible and saved the two babies starving to death. It was terrible. Wasn't really something I wanted to deal with after losing my own child Goomba to a violent accident.
Of course on the flip side my mother does have two litters of kittens which are completely adoreable, one of which is by my old kittie Stinky and her kittens are so fucking cute. Wish I could sneak one home. Oh well, though, no animals on the train.
Other than that not a whole lot has been happening. I'm hoping that after I get my ID I can go and visit some cousins in town. They had a new baby two months ago and I haven't seen her yet. I was there A LOT for their first child and it's really sad that I haven't been around for their second. My cousin, Michael, is basically a brother to me so I'd like to atleast spend one or two nights at their house.
Other than that though not a whole lot happening. Write more soon

well I'm still digging it up here in good ol' monroe. I've had a pretty good time of it so far though I am worried that due to my shitty planning I wont be able to really visit family. Kyle sent me money last friday so basically the whole first week I was here I was just dicking around not really doing anything. Went to the bar, got too drunk. Once, that was it. Not really my thing.. well drinking is my thing, getting trashed isn't. I don't know what the hell it is. I think the heat has had something to do with it. Sadly my mamas pool is not working so durring this terrible heat wave we've been having I haven't been able to go swimming. :(
I have to go get my ID like tomorrow if I even want to be able to visit anyone. But I don't want to make plans until I have my ID cause that was a big part of me coming up here. Cause my mom has my damn birth certificate. Oi oi oi. I do have pics, though I've forgotten my camera cord so you'll just have to wait until I get home. :D
Ohh I don't think I had time to write before, so on the way up here, I left on saturday with Jason instead of sunday with Kirsten, we detoured to Ryan (my bro in laws) house and had ourselves a good time. Lots of pics of that. lol
So right now I am totally excited becuase tomorrow I will be going up to Monroe to visit my family and friends. Only part that sucks is that on monday I have to go to a funeral, and no one ever really wants to go to a funeral. :( Oh well. I’m going to get a ride up there with my Sister-in-Law, Kirsten, and then ride the train home. I can’t ride the train up there because my current id has expired nad they wont let me on the train. Apparently even though it’s me in the picture I’m a liar. Doens’t matter, I gotta get a new ID anyways. My mama has my birth certificate so it’ll all work out. I’m also taking my camera so hopefully I’ll have lots of pictures to share with everyone when I get back. Yay.
