This may be one of those "you had to be there" things, but just in case there's broader appeal, I want to share with my friends. I was laughing so hard at the flyer in my head that I couldn't breathe right and got a touch of the spins. James, I hope you don't mind that I posted this without explicit permission; I didn't want to wake you up to ask. Maybe I'll have my own fashion show in our hallway. I don't think MCC and the Fashion Focus Club could withstand the supersaturated golden genius.


me: I need to figure out what kinds of images draw the eye and then convince the brain that a community college masquerade ball themed fashion show is something one would be eager to attend.
James: that sounds
kind of interesting
and kind of gay
if you want my advice
me: of course it will be kind of gay
James: always just wear leather
the next girl i date will wear nothing but leather, all the time. or she will be "not my girlfriend"
me: haha I'm not trying to pick an outfit. The midterm project for my photoshop class is to design a poster for the aforementioned show.
James: oh how lame
i mean interesting
me: you and interesting.
James: me and interesting
that'll be my next girlfriend's name, too
james + interesting
me: sounds like a winner.
we have a rough draft due today, but she said it can be really really rough, and we only found out about it on tuesday.
James: here's my suggestion
find a picture of a horse
put "FASHION" in bold letters above it
and then "JUST LIKE FRANCE" below it
me: actually laughing out loud at the image
James: and then the finer print will read, "COMMUNITY COLLEGE AND FRANCE HAVE SO MUCH IN COMMON"
dude, you would win
me: but where does the masquerade theme come in? is it that the horse is really a model masquerading as a horse?
James: okay i have a way around that
get the kellog's raisin bran sun on that flyer too
put a little phantom of the opera mask on him
yours will be the best
me: but it has to use jewel tones too.
James: and then have the word "FASHION" pouring out of his two scoops onto the horse
so use jewel tones
that's what I would do
"TWO SCOOPS OF FASHION:
THE MOVIE"

This site looks trendy as hell, but they give money to charities based on how many people see you're sponsored or...something? I'm not sure exactly how it works, but I know if I get enough points they'll send me pink squishy balls in the mail. I want pink squishy balls. I also get points if other people want to join the thing based on my invites. So...wanna join the thing? Let me know.

Okay, so I guess I sold out. I got an email about this new sponsored livejournal thing, and even though I'll probably never use 3/4 of the features, I want to try it out.

Lots of new stuff going on in my life, but if you want to hear about it you'll probably have to find me somewhere other than here, or wait until I've watched everything on DVR, done all my schoolwork, scooped the catbox, and...whoops I gotta go!

95%. Not too shabby if I do say so myself. Good thing I already seem to know what I'm doing, because those tips at the end ain't worth shit.

Meet Rudie. I've had her for a little over 2 months now, and I still can't get over how darn cute she is. She's also wild and crazy as all hell, so it's difficult to get decent photos of her.

So, what are the chances I'll see one of you bastards on campus at ASU? I'll post my current class times and the buildings they're in, but in the interest of warding off stalker-types, I'm not going to list actual classes. That and it's unlikely anyone shares classes with me, but possible that someone will be in roughly the same vicinity at the same time. So, here ya go:

TTh:

I'm currently signed up for 18 credit hours, but since I'm allergic to working really hard, I'll probably drop a class soon. So, anyone up for lunch this afternoon?

It's rare that movies make me feel completely functional and well-adjusted. Of course I feel normal next to Patrick Bateman and Mark Renton, but there are still traits in those characters I envy. Now, don't read too much into that. I don't want to kill prostitutes with a chainsaw or shoot smack and swim in toilets. I suppose I admire their confidence.

I didn't know it was possible for a film to be completely populated with totally unlikable characters. I watched Anything Else tonight, and I just want to slit my throat. I really like Christina Ricci, I don't dislike Jason Biggs, and while I do dislike Woody Allen, I'll admit he's a talented individual. I wanted to see this film, even though I remember dismal reviews when it came out in theaters. I was especially ready to like Christina Ricci's character after hearing her described as disorganized and always late. Unfortunately, these qualities and her fantastic breasts were her most endearing traits.

Has anyone else seen this movie? Am I missing something? Is there any reason Woody Allen shouldn't be wrapped in a burlap sack and beaten with lead pipes? I realize he's not a very likable individual himself, but I also know he's able to write characters I do like. Where is Annie Hall?

Oh, right. She's now acting in films with Keanu Reeves. The passengers on eastbound America West flights sincerely thank him for taking time out of his busy Dogstar touring schedule to produce crap we can appreciate on the big screen. I really hate to say this, but I honestly enjoyed Something's Gotta Give. I even found Keanu Reeves vaguely charming. Anything Else made me want to fellate the business end of a russian military surplus rifle.

I'm not forming complete thoughts here. Maybe I'll go give my rifle a tongue bath. It'll clear my head.

I've posted this a couple times on myspace, and sent out text messages, so I figured I might as well cover all my bases.

As the subject suggests, I'm turning 23. My birthday is this Tomorrow!! to be exact, and I thought I'd see if any of you kids would be interested in joining myself and an as-yet undetermined number of friends for a few drinks. As is my way, I waited until sunday night to decide that it'd be fun to do something to commemorate another smack on the birthday tally. I realize it's a little bit late to be inviting friends out for a weeknight, so I won't be at all offended if you can't make it. I don't have any plans set in stone yet, so if you have any suggestions, I'd be thrilled to hear those too. I'm sure things will firm up some time today, so get in touch if you think you'd like to join us, and I'll tell you where to find me. :-)

I hope to see at least a few of you tomorrow!

wet kisses for all,
Larissa

( I'm yanking this from Michael's journal, because I am vain and I want to show off my scorching hotttttness )

( a tiny bit of bragging about something that no one cares about now, and didn't really care about before )

( this one's a really fucking huge surprise, isn't it? )

( again, absolutely no one is surprised by this. )

Okay, I'm bored with these. I must choose something fun to wear to Tranzylvania tonight. It's the last time I'll get to go before I leave for China! Oh crap. Over a month of no slutty goth clubs? Whatever shall I do?!?!!

Otherwise, all our BFF necklaces would become meaningless.

As some of you know, I've been feeling a bit out of sorts about something the last couple of days. Support came from mostly unexpected places. The two people most willing to spend some time with me, occasionally listen to me fret and overreact about unimportant matters, cheer me up, and just be good friends when I really needed to know I had such a thing, were my little brother, and someone who only recently became my friend. I am grateful to both of them, and hope that I can be mindful of their example if the situation is ever reversed. I know it's sometimes difficult to be my friend, so I'd like to thank all of you for stickin' by me in one way or another. Your actions do not go unnoticed, I promise.

That's it. end sappy and boring bullshit. I'll try to find something funny and/or awesome to post soon.

**EDIT**I must mention Shannon as well, because he's known me since the early Desert Vista days, and he'll still stop by in the middle of the night, just to give me a really awesome hug. He didn't even laugh at me when he learned just how retarded my problem really was.

Things look better in the light of day.

"I piss a lot of people off and it's not because I don't give a fuck about people it's I don't give a fuck about what people think of me and I just act myself not really taking into consideration how that might make other people feel........ for some reason this tends to put people off."

Now, can anyone tell me why this is not a useful approach to friendly social interaction?

Well, it looks like Mitch Hedberg has died. I heard rumblings about an april fool's joke, but after hitting the refresh button on my google search at least every 10 minutes since I first heard of his death and not seeing one mention of a hoax, I'm left with no choice. If you don't know who Mitch Hedberg is, you should look him up. He was(goddamnit!) funny as hell. Luckily, he died on March 30th. If he'd waited a little longer he would have shared a deathday with Terri Schiavo.

Security:	Public
Mood:	crazy
Music:	zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

I know there are some techie mac geek-type people out there. How the hell do I get this key back in place?

Things that are good:

1. Spring Break
2. parents who fly so much that they have more frequent flier miles than they could possibly use by themselves.
3. using those tasty frequent flier miles to purchase plane tickets to DC.
4. Not paying for a hotel room while I'm there, because I have so many lovely friends who'd jump at the chance to share their bed with me. (or at least their couch, if they're not feeling cuddly. I'm not picky, just broke!)
5. mongoloid and/or midget cats from delaware.
6. spending valentine's day covered in fake blood/bile/jizz/other GWAR juice. I think this should be the only acceptable way to celebrate valentine's day.
7. Flogging Molly shows, when the dumb bitch shouting oi oi oi! over the actual words to the song spills her beverage on the head of the obnoxious teenybopper who pushed her skinny ass in front of me when I was taking off my hoodie.
8. All guilty pleasures, ever.
9. dead babies.

Things that are bad:

1. I won't be able to see my boyfriend Tucker Carlson when I'm back east, because he is no longer one of the hosts on that pillar of journalistic integrity, Crossfire.
2. Livejournal took away my Toad Suck icon, because I'm not a paid member anymore.

DC friends, you're on notice: I might very well be in town any time between the evening of March 10th and the morning of March 19th (must make it back in time for the Aquabats show that evening!). I will want to see all of you. Especially if you have a spare couch/bed or some extra space in your own bed. We can have a sleepover and it will be awesome.

It seems that odditory is a good friend for reasons other than his head freezing stories and his skills as a dance partner. In addition to being a fun friend himself, he also knows really awesome people. And these really awesome people are going to put me to work this weekend. There are several reasons this is a beautiful thing:
1. I will be exchanging my worker bee-ness for a ticket. This means not having to come up with the 20 bucks myself.
2. I will feel useful and not awkward and out of place.
3. I will get to dress up, and get some use out of my corset AND my petticoat and possibly other things as well.
4. My mad skillz (yeah, I'm not sure yet what those are either) will be used ( here!! )
Now, does anyone want to help me with hair and makeup? I need to ask Steve or Cookie for the pics they took of us at Hot Pink last week, because Nicole must have done something right. I was getting (wanted and unwanted) attention all night. If I wasn't so insecure, my head would've gotten huge! I can't wait for this weekend. I'm like a giddy little (naughty) schoolgirl!

Okay, so I hate these things as much as everyone else does, but the temptation of a nearly free minimac was just too much. I need to refer 10 people, so I don't really expect to actually ever get the thing, but I thought I'd give it a try. It actually hasn't even confirmed my initial offer yet, so I've still got my fingers crossed. How about this? If I actually get the 10 necessary referrals, I'll do something really dorky and embarrassing and document it with photos that'll be posted here. I don't know what would be dorky enough for people to want to sign up with my link thingie, so I'll accept suggestions. Of course, your suggestion will be given more weight if you actually use the link. Alright. Enough of the rationalizing. Just click already.

Just so this post isn't completely about the free computer, um, I'm doing well and I love my classes this semester. I've only been to two days of class so I can't really say if I'll keep this opinion, but so far I'm really really excited. My Political Anthropology class is going to be investigating the Religious Right and how they've come to power, and of course I get a healthy dose of creationist nutters in Origins, Evolution & Creation. If nothing else, I'll certainly know the enemy once I'm done with these classes. Hmmph. I have french homework already, so I'd better get to that.

( I'm just following the herd. Don't blame me. )

Attention DC-type people! I will be in town starting tonight, until sunday afternoon. I'd love to see you all, so you bitches best show at either Alchemy tonight, or give me a call about getting dinner tomorrow or saturday. I assume you all know my cell, but I'll repost it just in case you all deleted it in a fit of despair when I left. 480.518.2873. There you have it. I expect to be hearing from you.
