“You either die the hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain.”
Fucking greatest line ever!

Memories: Adventures in Mo-Town
Wisdom 1:1
Parked at a Del Taco near Long Beach apartments. Stoned. In a complete “blaze of glory.” Soundtrack for the evening: Can’s Ege Bamyasi. Im in the driver’s seat, Mo is on the passenger side. There’s a knock at the window. The middle aged man wags his finger at us in the darkness, “I know what you’re doing in there.” He gets in his truck and drives away.
Commence total paranoia.
”OMG, maybe I should turn the volume down, we’re going to wake everyone up.”
The sage takes a deep breath. There is a moment of silence and build up leading to this zenith of truth. She speaks.
“Long Beach…NEEDS, to wake up.”

In the car by myself. PCC parking lot. I make a phone call.
A phone call in which I will reveal that you can truly do anything you set your mind to:
“Mo, omg, omg, I’ve just uncovered the secrets of telepathy. I’m on a bike. Oh my god, now I’m swinging, but I’m really still in my car, but all these other things are really happening. I close my eyes and I’m making them happen.”
Wisdom 1:3
Half asleep, 4 A.M., 3 missed calls, 1 voicemail.
You are about to find out things aren’t always what they seem.
Voicemail: “I’m walking home and the sky is blinking. Oh wait. Wait. That car was just making a right turn.”
It’s official, my dad is a bigger geek than I am.
So I was doing my whole morning email check routine, when I saw an email from my dad. Subject line: The X Files: I Want to Believe. It was the trailer to the movie and my dad signed the email with a big “wheeee!” He never goes ”wheee” about ANYTHING!
See my dad doesnt only likethings that have to do with Aliens, UFOs, and outer space, he’s obsessed with it! My house is filled with a disgusting amount of “sighting” docs and Alien action movies. I guess it’s sort of cool, I know a bunch of random facts about space and my dad is the only person in our house that can sit and watch hours and hours of The Twilight Zone with me. For years I’ve tried to understand my dads obsession, but never really questioned it. I kind of figured it was the same as my obsession with political conspiracy theories and how I’d go on and on and on and on about my theories over breakfast with my parents.
We were at In-N-Out a few days ago and my dad was going on about crop circle theories and some show he had just watched and how he wanted me to watch it so I could become a “believer.” I never said, I didn’t believe. I just try not to think about it. So anyway I start jumping in and cracking jokes. At one point I said, “It’s not really aliens, it’s just the government trying to keep you in fear and its a way for them to take more money from you to fund “space exploration.” Of course I was joking, I just like to bug my dad. So then! I said, “Dad, what if the aliens are already living among us?” and I expected one of my brothers to save me and crack a joke about immigrants or something, but there was this awkward silence and my dad looked me right in the eye and said, “they already are among us.” He said it with such certainty that I expected him to unzip his human suit. It creeped me out.
And then I remembered about the time my mom told me that my dad apparently sighted something when he was a kid. It all makes sense.
Oh, the truth is out there!
O Captain, my Captain!
Me: I’m going to die.
Arrow: Shut up! Why do you always have to be so negative?
Me: I’m not ALWAYS negative. In fact, I’m POSITIVE I’m going to die.
I Dream of Bento!
This person on flickr just became my hero:
Seriously. I’m not a huge HK fan, but I mean really, this person is amazing. And she packs these lunches every day and snaps pictures of them.
I personally don’t have that kinda time. eesh.

You’ve got the music in You! Don’t Let Go!
It’s just one of those days–you know, that a girl goes through. It’s one of those days where I wish my mom wasn’t on the other side of the country. I guess it’s making me appreciate her so much more. It’s not the same sitting on the couch drinking wine watching Pretty Woman or The Last Waltz by myself. That was our thing. Wine and movie nights. I tried watching The Last Waltz with my dad–It’s so not the same. I was all pumped. No matter how many times I watch it it’s still one of my favorite things to watch. I miss my mom interjecting with questions about The Band–it made me feel so useful—dazzling her with my rock history knowledge. Sigh. I guess it’s not all bad. I’m going to see The Who on Saturday. Yeah, that’s right. The Who!!
That’s my mom. Geez, I’m such a baby.
When I’m having one of those days and feeling disillusioned, like all my dreams are slipping away, and I start doubting whether I’m ever going to do all the things I want to do, I play this song really loud and sing a long!
You Get What You Give - New Radicals
I don’t care how cheesy or gay anyone thinks this song is. It TOTALLY makes me feel better. Best song lyrics ever!
“I Started A Joke”
About 3 months ago, I recorded a video of me covering “I Started A Joke,” by the Bee Gees for my aunt Jessica, who lives in New York. When she lived with us years ago, she told me it was her favorite Bee Gees song and she played it for me. So, I decided to play it for her. My room was completely empty because I had just painted it red and you won’t see me in the recording because I’m camera shy–and Lord knows I would forever be mortified if anyone saw the retarded faces I make when I sing. I’ve only showed like 2 people this. I’m actually really nervous to make this video public, but, umm, okay, here ya go:
Currently Crushing On:
Annie Clark of St. Vincent just made me question my sexual orientation. She makes my heart race. After seeing a woman so beautiful, I don’t think I could ever love a man. haha.
