We are multicultural girlfriends.
The wetback (only half), the crackah, the gook.
I love my girlfriends. I love having girlfriends now. I used to hate it. I find that they are quite enjoyable and tend to endure shopping for longer periods of time and are more apt to bring you chicken soup if you are sick. They also enjoy talking about boys and how crazy girls are and because they are crazy too, it makes me feel sane. Okay not sane, but it makes me feel not so abnormal.
I want to karaoke again at the Merdian room. This time, I will pick a song I know ALL the words to.
Because I felt like it..
I have been sick since Saturday of last week. *cough* and by cough I mean, want to rip your throat out, head throbbing, lung burning, persistent dry cough. It sucks.
I also worked out the other day. I like to forget to stretch..often. As a result I feel like I got run over by a truck, all the while coughing. I feel miserable; and on top of miserable I am frustrated. Looking for a house to rent, that is exactly what I and two others want is more difficult than finding a successful 20-something to date.
The very first house we looked at we passed up due to hesistation. It’s like being a virginal 18 year old and finally getting your first girlfriend and then when it comes down to having to make a life decision and committing, you get scared, you talk yourself out of it, claiming that there HAS to be better out there. WRONG. Stay with your girlfriend.
The place was perfect, just perfect price, perfect location, huge, wonderful. Now we are house hunting and finding it ever more difficult. Once we find something perfect, something little comes along that makes us say nah let’s not get it. I hate to be picky when it’s getting close to the time that I have to move out, but I hate to be hasty when we will be signing a year long lease. If I end up hating my roomates, I at least want to love the house I am stuck in. I am giving it two maybe three more weeks, if not I am getting my own place. I just feel like I am going to be stressed out pretty soon.
I had gotten a second job that lasted all of 10 seconds. I won’t go into detail but the place was seedy, the workers seemed seedy, and my manager cared not about my work schedule and time requested but rather that I hurry my ass and get on the floor and make some money. Negatory. I was going to put my things away in my car when I sat down in my car and decided to leave. So now back on the job hunt for a little extra income.

My sister got married. She married a dork, like herself. They got this cake. As you can see its got two geek figures with guns on them. This is ten times better than your traditional Man and Woman figures in their tux and wedding gown any day. I would have liked to see colorful lightsabers. Or even an animated gun or something with sound effects. But from the pictures it was a very simple cozy wedding. Congrats Thao and Rod. You ever loving geeks!
You diggin’ the cosmos?
Cosmic Evan,
I met your bro the other day. He gave me one of your shirts that he claims you wore all theeee time. I am still searching for this evidence. If you really miss it, you know where it is. I took him to Royal Thai also, I should have just taken him to all the places you and I ever went since we didn’t get a chance to go to many places I am sure I could have fit it all in one night. I didn’t quite pick up on the similarities that other people pick up on but I also don’t have your quirks ingrained in my memory.
Once in a while he did make this face…it’s one of those “I smell something funky” faces….I think yours constantly was stuck on that. Somethings he gave a laugh, straight from the depths of his chest, I think you did that too.
It was fun times to share stories, really great, really touching. I got to see more old pictures of you and I am really thankful that I got a chance to meet him. Your whole family seeeeeems amazing and I am very very very happy to hear about the scholarship fund.
It sucks to have met such a wonderful person, makes everyone else seem not so grand. You were definitely grand. Well as you know, I miss you. I wonder who took over my position as head harem where you are…..just you wait..when I come..I’m taking that position back!!
and as always thanks for coming into my life. Oh and hope to see a shooting star soon.
Off the runway
Does anyone spend a lot of time perusing the ads and personals on Craigslist? It’s…rather entertaining. I have been looking for part-time evening work and well, apparently on craigslist its okay to flat out ask for a hot chick, or someone that looks a certain way, or let’s cut to the chase and just flat out ask for a full body picture.
Mind you, I am not looking at the “Adult gigs” section though reading some of these ads you’d blink twice thinking you were in the wrong section.
No, I was seeing photos being requested for photography assistants, for waitresses at bars, or night clubs, or restaurants. Which I understand, but still.
When were we required to look like models to work manual labor blue collar jobs? Are we all expected to be 5′8 and lean just to ask you if you want fries or a baked potato with that steak? And additioanlly, why does a photography assistant have to be attractive, half her face is going to be covered by a camera and who judges a persons artistic ability on the way they look? She isn’t going to have a bucket hooked to her waistside asking for tips for each photo being taken.
Yeah yeah yeah, leave it up to the unattractive, former fat girl living inside of me to be upset over this.
AND on the news the other day I over heard how “your weight” can prevent you from getting a job, or some stupid headline. NO SHIT really? So what you are telling me is that attractive thin people are more appealing than overweight people? WOW how much money did you spend on THAT survey. Common sense folks. We - as a societal whole, typically find thinner woman attractive. I don’t want men writing into me exclaming that they like thunder thighs and thick waists, I’m very aware you few are out there.
So with this being said. Take a look at my pictures, access what kind of skills I may have due to my facial expressions and the way my hair falls and whether my waist is thick or not thick enough to do the service you ask.
Work in Progress - painting
Work in Progress - painting, originally uploaded by Christina Lam Photography.
I am liking this style a heck of a lot better than the other ones I have pooped out. It’s been a while that I have channeled my energy for something positive rather than debauchery. All I have left is to add additional brown patterns to the one on the left and to fill in the background with a neutral color.
I am taking a social hiatus. It’s going to replenish my mind, my body, and my wallet.
I am finally feeling financial stresses and at nearly 27, it’s not a fun place to be.
Myself along with two others are bouncing around the idea of rooming together to save some money and give us bragging rights to show off our new house once we lease it.
Mentally I am okay. I just have to get over this financial hurdle and I will be fine.
I jogged for a mile today and I felt like my side was about to spill open, so I held it for the rest of the effort.
I got two speeding tickets within a two month time frame.
My lead foot has returned to plague me and thrust financial woes upon my life.
Additionally, I learn that when you decide to do paintings for someone, you should probably charge the materials as a separate charge in addition to the actual paintings themselves which would include the creative endeavor AND your time.
I need to quit short changing myself.
