how/why is richard listening to bbmak

Being back home for the holidays is a bitter sweet feeling. This last weekend was really tough for me, and reminded me of all of the reasons I moved away and decided to support myself. I am so thankful for the support I have from my parents, but I wish sometimes they were more capable of acting more like adults in appropriate situations. I am lucky to have people who know what I'm working away from, and working towards, and it is time to keep focusing on that instead of letting the unavoidable get me down. I can't choose how some variables incorporate themselves into my life, but I can choose how I let them play into my plan, my happiness, and overall, my attitude. I need to keep reminding myself where I've come from and where I'm going. Paso is orange and nice out, and this time of the year, I am thankful for my great friends, and I look forward to an exciting and happy holiday season, including a nice heating blanket to keep my and my darlings warm.

today i had the worst hang over ever.
today i learned that i am dating the sweetest guy ive ever met.
today i didnt do my motion/shutter project, so
tomorrow i will be stressed. but thats ok.
this october has been really good and really weird, but i still love this month regardless. mauras birthday was really fun, mostly just because i know her and i will always have the best time together, where ever when ever. kinda like that shakira song. school is always busy and stressful, and i am ready for a month long break to remind me how to relax.

today a customer brought me a present to work. it was a victoria secret bag filled with three thongs. my life sucks more and more each day.

rainy overcast thunderstorms with a chance of soup

so, a little update is needed, i guess.
spent the last week in the hospital and have never been so scared, bored, and drugged out at the same time. i had a weird infection growing under my tonsils that prevented me from breathing or swallowing, so i got that and those worthless tonsils removed. my parents and brother came and visited and supplied me with liquid foods and goodies, to which i am super thankful. tabby, jazz, josie, froggy, talya, damon and richard visited me, brought a sweet little card from sugar(thanks jos) and really made my stay a lot more bearable. I cant swallow food for probably another week... which is proving to be super annoying, because my cravings are ridiculous... miss sandwiches and cheeseburgers and veggies and...anything that isnt soup. oh well, i guess i will heal eventually.. its just been so weird!
the last few days have been really fun and needed, though. I bought my dslr finally (yay!) and am excited to practice using it this week. I am not allowed to go back to work until the 21st, which sucks because i am poor, and because i get bored. The 21st is also the day of the get up kids show, which I am very excited for! I get to go back to school tomorrow, which will also be a plus. It looks like september is going to become a month of waiting for everything to improve, instead of just being good, but i guess i can handle that. Going to try and make a trip to paso on the 1st, but don't know if i will have proper funding.. so hopefully it will all work out! looking forward to tuesday, and my last softball game next thursday, and the beginning of fall!

Thu, 20 Aug 2009 05:14:32 GMT

today i stayed in bed until 5pm watching lord of the rings, with the exception of 30 minutes of preparing blueberry pancakekekes that were way too thick and buying aunt jamima and getting shit for it. it was a great day.

also, i have poison oak. summer is finally completed, beth-style.

Wed, 05 Aug 2009 04:57:51 GMT

august, pool, training newbies, hanging out with jason/ryan, 6'10 & mick, apartment to myself leaving me wanting a studio, brother coming for birthday, camping, tonsillitis ruining my life, missing my first pops ever, softball ruling on tap, seeing my best friends in the world for four days of nature, 20, GREAT AMERICA, end of july, start of school, lack of sun, lack of food, too much liquid, nerd friend, needing more freeks/geeks, penicillin makin' me loony, get up kids!!!!!!, tabitha living 5 minutes away:):), missing/reconciliation, trying to make it to paso for one last hangout marathon, and riding my broken bike.

i seriously love playing softball so goddamn much. im so happy right now.

Fri, 24 Jul 2009 01:07:02 GMT

constantly surprised when social circles in a large city intertwine. hate the saying "small world," and hate that it is prevalent to my everyday life.

Thu, 23 Jul 2009 01:02:03 GMT

im a little unsure of what is really important in my life right now, the constant events of summer are taking their toll in a very serious way. i am very much looking forward to getting back into my school routine. i really need to focus, i need to stop trying to be the best at everything, and accept the fact that i cannot be the best at everything. in short, i am having a great summer.. softball starts next week, my birthday is right around the corner, my nights are filled with many laughs and new friends. although, i am left wanting something more/completely different, cant really pin it down. today some guys thought i was 25, and it made me feel super odd.. i have so many things to get done before that time in my life, and i cant help but think i am "missing out" on actually being 19? i dont know, i am SO glad that i am responsible and on top of things, i guess i just feel weird. i am quite sure everything will begin to work itself out, especially now that i have a set path to follow for the few years to come, with regards to school. i am constantly stressed about the csu fee hikes, (30% raise this semester..) but i guess that is currently a part of how living in california goes. i guess what im getting at is, i have a lot on my mind, and all i would really like to do is cuddle up with someone nice and watch some movies.. for like three days. recharge. camping will be more then sufficient though.

horoscopes are sometimes oddly correct!

The Sun will enter the sign of Cancer late tonight, highlighting home and family. This is a good time to get together with the ones you love for a picnic or a barbecue, and to celebrate the beginning of summer

Thu, 11 Jun 2009 20:51:09 GMT

today was a good one.
we had to call the cops on a disgruntled homeless man, who apparently decided to become outspoken about the fact that josie and i are "ugly ass bitches." after verbally assaulting just about every customer that walked by, we decided to call the cops. when a lady in blue responded to the call, i explained the situation, and she went to go remove him from our property. after a few exchanges of death threats from out new buddy, and some vigorous pointing, she called for back up, prompting four squad cars to roll up, closely followed by one patty wagon. the male suspect was arrested, and we were left to wonder how the hell that situation found good ol' sugar cafe.
i also got my period!
all around 100% great thursday worthy of documenting.
movie night tonight.

Wed, 10 Jun 2009 04:58:20 GMT

yay! i get to go to chase and kennys show! cant wait for the 20th.

Thu, 04 Jun 2009 05:38:57 GMT

pops emo night = summer.
riding bikes in the rain = san francisco summer.

amelia is so stoked to have her cone off i think she may have even forgotten i made people take out her ovaries! she cleaned herself for a good hour today and now is back to her old fluffy soft self.

i don't get enough sleep, and for that, i am paying... by accidentally injuring myself, in particular my right hand.

i need to buy: a rug, a plant, a u-lock, 300 dollar kitty deposit, and actual groceries instead of cereal oatmeal and carrots. is it next friday yet, paycheck?

wish i was at the Palm right now watching royal tenenbaums and getting out of the theater to realize its still like 70 degrees outside.

Adios, Sunset.

1922,
As I sit here and pack all of my possessions for..ohh, the fifth time in two years.. I can't help but to look back on the triumphs and failures of the 1922 abode. In the beginning, we often referred to this two bedroom as "Hotel California," a song the Eagles wrote about a completely different subject. From Kenny's bike staying here for SO LONG, to the ridiculousness of 16+ guests in one weekend, to welcome and unwelcome guests, to Tabitha living here every Wednesday night and on the weekends of fall semester, this apartment acted more as a youth hostel then your standard living unit. Who could forget tots, Judas, and the cat formerly known as Mark/Everest/(I can never remember his real name)? Seniore's Pizza, hats off to you for staying open until 2AM. Walks to 7-11.. I will miss you. Sevan Liquor and Deli, you guys will have a place in my heart forever. Stern Grove, you provided an excellent birthday. Elmo costume, where did you end up?! L train, I have mixed feelings of gratitude and hatred towards you. Other notable enjoyable memories include, but are not limited to: the discovery of the 66 line, band practice, "ditry bastard," Bette Davis Eyes, Tabitha and my month long obsession with ordering chinnese take-out, Green Earth Cafe (R.I.P.), SPACE JAM and NATIONAL TREASURE, Outside Lands Festival and the introduction of CandyMan into our lives, Halloween 08 and Tabby's awful costume/My brilliant costume/"that is one cotton tail," apparently being stoked about American Idol when Maura visited but never watching it again, taking the train to 7-11 like once, bancakes2k8-2k9, boot cups, the 30 day shred that has slowly but surely turned into the 30 year shred, Lisa's comforter (still.), Tabby's driving skills, Nikki dancing around in the giraffe tent and the giraffe tent in general, Lisa and I making the most extravagant dinner dates that included pork chops orange chicken asparagus zesties and sparkling cider, and awesomeness that takes the form of Burrito Express. Other notable not so enjoyable memories include, but are not limited to: mousegate 2k8, the drains, sassies blackbearz, Tennessee Grill, Mark, that dildo chipping our paint, fleas, Bill using out trashcan whenever he pleased, the 28 always fucking us over, the couple downstairs yelling at ridiculous hours of the day and night, people always asking "WHAT IS THAT" when the L would go by, Kenny hiding the stars, Fixie Brian, not having a job for the first two months I lived here, that ONE time I had to do dishes, taking the L at 5 AM GODDAMN IT, getting kicked out of G'ma's saloon, our screen breaking for no apparent reason, always being FOGGY AND WINDY, and so on, and so forth. The year spent here has never ceased to be hilarious.. even at 4am when trying to hunt mice. So, 1922, I will miss you, but I will not forget the anguish you also caused me. I wish we were ending the lease off with a ridiculous bon voyage party, but alas, time wears thin. I can only hope that the next occupants treat you with the proper amount of respect...but not too much.
love always,
EliZabeth Boatman
ps Feel free to add more to the list, my little darlings.
