Happy New Year everyone! Well, almost. I'm going to the Dead Man's Carnival tonight to bring in the new year. You should consider going to this. It's going to be awesome. Magic, fire, burlesque, music, the human coin! So good. It starts at 9:00 tonight, goes until about midnight, and they usually have a dance party after midnight. Yay!

I'm heading back to Milwaukee tonight after visiting my parents for an entire week! I haven't been here for this long in a while. It's been really nice. I've been getting a few things done and have also been able to relax SO much. Honestly, I have been watching a lot of movies. Inception is really awesome.

Come out to the carnival tonight and say hi! I'll be wearing a lacy skirt and my curly blonde wig - you know the one!

i'm on a family vacation in florida.
my cousin's wedding was on saturday, that's why we came here.
it's pretty nice. we're staying in some condos in Sebastian, on the east coast.
yesterday we went to a beach in Port St. Lucie, where my cousins live.
BATHTUB BEACH! the water there was shallow, in front of a reef.
i went snorkeling, and it was really awesome. it's so surreal.
everything looks bigger under the water.
it all kind of sways around with the movement of the water.
i saw a bunch of cool looking fishies. :)
i found a mini-habitat in a shell. underwater, it looked incredible.
like it's own little world, smaller than the palm of my hand.
i brought it up out of the water for a second and it looked really lame.
so i stayed underwater most of the time.
i felt like i was in the life aquatic.
today i'm going to the other coast, the west coast.
my super good friend, jamie, moved here about a year ago (?)
so i am way excited to see her. she lives in Terra Ceia, right by the gulf
Terra Ceia is pretty close to Tampa, so I hope we go there.
i'm excited to see where she lives. and the beaches on that side are different!
i will compare them! =D aha

it's rainy season here in florida. it rains every day around 4:00
but then it gets sunny again!

so, i'm having a good time. florida is a beautiful state.
but, i do miss milwaukee, wisconsin.

oh! and my cousins are going to give me one of their birds!
it's a blue quaker parrot. they breed these birds.
this one is only 3 months old right now. it's a girl, and she is gorgeous!
the blue and turquoise colors are so pretty and she is a sweetheart.
this isn't her, but this is what she looks like, except prettier :) hah

wagon wheel

2008-07-26T21:54:00.000-07:00

Headed down south to the land of the pines
And I'm thumbin' my way into North Caroline
Starin' up the road
Pray to God I see headlights
I made it down the coast in seventeen hours
Pickin' me a bouquet of dogwood flowers
And I'm a hopin' for Raleigh
I can see my baby tonight
So rock me mama like a wagon wheel
Rock me mama anyway you feel
Hey mama rock me
Rock me mama like the wind and the rain
Rock me mama like a south-bound train
Hey mama rock me
Runnin' from the cold up in New England
I was born to be a fiddler in an old-time stringband
My baby plays the guitar
I pick a banjo now
Oh, the North country winters keep a gettin' me now
Lost my money playin' poker so I had to up and leave
But I ain't a turnin' back
To livin' that old life no more
So rock me mama like a wagon wheel
Rock me mama anyway you feel
Hey mama rock me
Rock me mama like the wind and the rain
Rock me mama like a south-bound train
Hey mama rock me
Walkin' to the south out of Roanoke
I caught a trucker out of Philly
Had a nice long toke
But he's a headed west from the Cumberland Gap
To Johnson City, Tennessee
And I gotta get a move on before the sun
I hear my baby callin' my name
And I know that she's the only one
And if I die in Raleigh
At least I will die free
So rock me mama like a wagon wheel
Rock me mama anyway you feel
Hey mama rock me
Rock me mama like the wind and the rain
Rock me mama like a south-bound train
Hey mama rock me

Last week, a bad driver, unaware of me on my bike, cut me off on MLK drive. I was riding fast to work, and had about 10 feet in front of me to stop. Well, that wasn't enough room. So, my bike and I ran into her shitty gas guzzling suv/jeep thing. Her car broke my face, and I had to have surgery on my nose a couple of days ago. That is why there is plaster cast on my face! Not because I am uncomfortable with my big, beautiful, bent nose haha

It's going to be all right!

I miss riding my bike. But soon enough, i'll be able to do more than walk a few blocks without blood dripping down my face :) I bought this bike, an SE Lager single speed, about one month ago. I spent money I didn't really have at the time. It has most definitely been worth it. It's a great bike, we treat each other well. Luckilly it didn't get hurt much in the crash. The front wheel and brake were slightly bent. I took it to Cory the Bike Fixer, where I bought it, and he fixed it for free. Not only did he straighten the wheel, but he wrote me up a fake receipt so that I could get some money from this lady's insurance. Oh Cory, what a man!
My mom got me this awesome flower thing and a smiley face balloon in the hospital. In a couple days when I can ride my bike, I'm going to ride it around with them attachted! It will be really fun. My mom was a super duper sweet heart and great mom this weekend! She came all the way to Milwaukee to take me to the hospital, and stayed with me overnight to make sure my face didn't hurt too much. She even did our dishes! How great.
I can't wait for Thursday Night Ride this week! I went on my first TNR ride last week and it was so much fun! I don't know why I had never gone before. Good thing it is every week :)

Mogwai is a really good band. You probably want to look into it.

"Mogwai/Mogui in Chinese culture

According to Chinese tradition, mogui are certain demons, which often inflict harm on humans. They are said to reproduce sexually during mating seasons triggered by the coming of rain. Supposedly, they take care to breed at these times because rain signifies rich and full times ahead."

There are dishes on my floor.
A mistake. It's like leaving the pan on the stove overnight, even though you know it will only be harder to clean it the next day.
This is solidarity.
