Spending time with your friends is a crucial thing in life. As we get older, we forget that. We get caught up in the day to day, children, relationship, whatever. We forget to make an effort. I can't express how essential it is for us girls to stay together. Lately I have been making the effort to see my friends and the ones who put the effort back into me are the ones who are gaining a permanent place in my heart. I will not forget who has been there for me when things got rough.

Amanda and Glenda. I love you girls. Thank you for the laughs, the shoulders to cry on, the ears to bend (and I KNOW I be bendin'), the debauchery, the genuine empathy and reminding me to be strong when I start to feel weak.



This was a good day. Not baaad. But goooood. What is relatively new has the feel of familiarity like a childhood friend or relative but better because we chose each other.




and screw you CommentThis! I am seeeeeeeeeeek of juuuuurrrrr sheeeeeeet! Hello HaloScan. So there.

So it's been like an eon since I've posted. My deepest (mmmm DEEP) apologies. Things I have learned on my hiatus:

1. Independence is the key to self preservation.
2. The cost of living in Los Angeles is the same as Petaluma but the pay rate is less.
3. No matter how much I mop my goddamn hardwood floors, my feet always are dirty. I am going to end up one of those text book asians with the goddamn slippers at the front door. Ahhh take off shoe pwease. Swippah....swippah.
4. Love does not conquer all.
5. Falling down in public places is just as fun at 33 as it was at 23.
6. You can't fix broken people.
7. I am addicted to Cold Case Files.
8. I am addicted to Reeses Pieces.
9. You can burn your clit off with your vibrator.
10. Romantic girlhood notions are fairytales and do not exist in the real world.
11. One can become jaded with grace.
12. I think I am going to become a lesbian. Then, at least you can double your wardrobe while dealing with all the bullshit and lies.

I have been busy doing my photography which those of you who have checked my site can attest to. I also have put up a before and after section so you can peruse my retouching and digital artistry skills:
Retouching

And yes, I have included some before and afters of myself to make it fair. I would never let my friends face the world naked without being naked right next to em!

I had a job...walked out on that job. I learned that I have way more self respect than I thought! I could not deal with that micromanaging egotistical asswipe for another minute. So I put the word out to friends, gave them my resume and my lovely friend Amanda gave my resume to her brother. He called me and offered me a job doing event coordination from home. Wicked. I am making the same I was before and I don't have to get ready in the morning. SWEEEEEEEEEEEEET. Really stoked about it because they are a brand new company so I am like the 3rd person coming in and that could mean I can secure a place in management which is my forte. I love to delegate. >:?)

Not too sure where things are headed but I am no longer pinning my future on a man, just on myself and a little boy.
