Ok I just had to make one of my random updates, and this one is about how much I truly love television. We watched the Season 3 finale of The OC this evening, and I've just been thinking, damn I fucking love The OC, and The West Wing, and The L Word, and Qaf, and man can life get any better than being so engrossed in fictional characters that they so completely exist to you? You may think I'm stoned talking so crazy like this but surprisingly I'm not. I think I'm just a little insomniac overtired. But anyway, I'm so glad I get to enjoy such quality pieces of television art, it's the most intriguing addiction, you get so sucked in, but wait! you have to wait months for a new season! Ingenious! I can't contain my overbubbling. So basically I just thought about how much I love my shows and how I am so glad I have been lucky enough to experience them!!!!!!

And I caused a total breakdown of one of the self check out registers at Dorchester Stop and Shop tonight, it was pretty hardcore. In fact, tonight has been so hardcore I think I need to go to sleep.

Good night!

Somehow it always seems easier to write under the influence. I have been ill the last 2 days, but that still doesn't account for my being lj awol for 22 weeks. But I digress.

Ok so why bureaucracy? Northeastern is the worst school in the country. By the way folks, you should shoot your child in the face and cut off their right leg before you let them apply. I am so annoyed with the whole topic of school. Fuck higher education. I have a dream, I'll imagine a world where faculty at a school just want to see their students succeed, and will make it their job to make sure that person has the best and most effortless experience they could possibly have while they're in their care.

So, I hate school. But what else is new. I'm hoping to fix this shit sometime soon I guess.

What's the point of writing anything anyway? Does anything ever change?

I love Quiznos. If you've never been you need to go. NOW.

If there's one thing I've learned, it's get your Mother Fucking Bachelors Degree kids, because without it you will just be a Minimum Wage Loser.

But why would you listen to a 23 year old coot with a penchant for Brian Green?

Hello everyone out there in lj land. Wanted to inform you that Miss Blackman and I will be participating in the MSPCA-Angell 25th Annual Walk for Animals on September 10th this year, and we would love to find some sponsors. It's a great cause, who doesn't want to help little homeless and sick puppies and kitties out? And just think, all you have to send is the $$$! You get to sit at home on your lazy ass while we (with Sadie of course) do the walking! So check it out- www.mspca.org/walk
and help us start to reach our goal! Any amount will be greatly appreciated. Once you get to the website and check it out, you just click on "sponsor walker" and put in either one of our full names. I would like to think that most of you out there already know them, but if someone is reading I'm not aware of, my last name is Cullin. After that it will take you to the donation page, and the rest is a piece of cake!

We feel very lucky to have three wonderful pets in our lives. Thanks for helping us bring that joy to someone else ;)

Help Save Equal Marriage Rights in Massachusetts

I just signed a petition to celebrate the one-year anniversary of so many gay and lesbian couples who got legally married in Massachusetts one year ago this May. I hope you will too.

MassEquality is gathering this petition to present to legislators who will soon consider a proposed constitutional amendment that would take away equal marriage rights. If legislators vote the way they did last year, equal marriage rights for gay and lesbian couples will be put up for a popular vote.

Signing on is incredibly easy – just visit www.MassEquality.org.

Please make sure that Massachusetts legislators know you support equal marriage rights.


GET YOURSELVES THERE AND DOO IT IF YOU KNOW WHAT IS GOOD FOR YOU!!!!

over and out :)

Today I was driving Emi's car around good ol' Dorchester, and we were listening to the Miranda cd, and an Anna Nalick song came on. Don't I know the song Breathe (2am)? What planet am I on? No, I did not. I realize that I never listen to the radio, ever. I guess I miss all the latest hits.

So later in the afternoon Emi sent me the song which I find quite enjoyable, especially the lines "cause you can't jump the track/we're like cars on a cable/and life's like an hourglass glued to the table..." I find them ridiculously catchy, and the most beautiful sounding of the song. I've been listening to an odd mixture of music lately (Green Day, Elliott Smith, Simon and Garfunkel, Eminem?) and so it just got lumped into the latest playlist, 4/8 random mix! on itunes. I adore my itunes, what fun it is to make random playlists, deleting and adding on a whim, indulging my picky music mood daily, what a great time.

I enjoy how I'm updating on like a once every 2 months or so basis, it's really classy.

We are supposed to come home tomorrow but I think I'm too lazy for such a lengthy endeavor. I wish it was simpler, and didn't cause mounds of stress. I don't really want to leave, it's almost as if I wish I could pack up 66 Hyde Park Ave, Apt. 2 and open it back up somewhere in the Milford/Matamoras area. Mmm how much more splendid things would be! I hate travel accommodations...everyone is just happy when they are over (unless it's a stay at the Vives residence of course) and you can go home and back to your life, and they can resume theirs.

I guess I didn't really clear anything up with that paragraph. I guess we're leaving tomorrow night, but the thought of it just makes me overwhelmingly tired.

Ok but I have almost forgotten the most important thing...SOMEONE MUST GIVE UP THEIR TV FOR MY SICK NEEDS ON THURSDAY NIGHT!!!! I can not go without the OC, Making the Band 3, and Power Girls. I know it is a severe problem, but I'm getting treatment, and hoping one day I'll move on from bad Pdiddy reality tv. Until then, can your tv be mine from 8pm until 11?

John Lithgow is giving this year's graduation speech at Harvard...damnit, why didn't I go there, John Lithgow fucking rocks! But this my friends, is life.

Fucking comcast I'm going to fuck those fuckers in their mother fucking bloody assholes...my internet is so fucking slow a turtle could produce a higher quality and speed spinning in a fucking hamster wheel.

Hm, not sure what that meant exactly but...

Oo I wish I had some ganja...only 3 more days! wee!

I am the most uninteresting person you will ever see on your friends page. Why update when everyone has a better story to tell than you?

I must go to bed, these thoughts are too (ed) big(head) for me to continue on with any longer.

swimming through sick lullabies/choking on your alibis/but it's just the price I pay/destiny is calling me/open up my eager eyes/cause I'm Mr Brightside

oo the killers suckers!!! i am too punk! night!

why can't you be with me
watching american tv
we'll order in chinese
and ask the world
to stay away, please

What an awesome song...mmmgoodmusicfromtheoc :D

Previous to my poem the other day, I haven't updated in forever. Don't worry, it's not you, it's me. I've been unable to write forever. Or unmotivated. I don't feel like I have the energy to do it. I also feel like, what is there to write about? Nothing extremely interesting has occurred anytime lately.

Today I brushed Sadie's teeth for the first time (my first time, not her first toothbrushing) and gave her a good brushing. I must say it was a wholly soothing/relaxing experience. I liked hearing the toothbrush going swish swish swish against her pearly white toofers...she apparently liked the beefy flavor or whatever it is of the toothpaste, so I guess we both win. We also had some great outdoor time twice, which was nice, and much better than yesterday when she thought we were playing a game and would not let me catch her. She is the greatest dog in the world!!!!

Yesterday I bought The Whole Lesbian Sex Book by Felice Newman, the revised and expanded second edition (2004). I must say, it's rather informative. I had perused the first edition when it came out (1999) and wasn't very impressed...this one seems to be a lot better, so if you're a dyke and you're out there looking for a new interesting read/informative sex bible, this is it! Don't confuse it with The Lesbian Sex Book: A Guide for Women Who Love Women however, since it's completely different, that one having more of a dictionary setup and no good in my opinion.

Not much else is new, on one of my shopping adventures I brought home a new betta, his name is Oscar, he's grumpy and awesome. I've also been reading A Home at The End of The World by Michael Cunningham...I haven't been able to do much reading for the same reasons I haven't been able to write, but I knew after I saw the movie I had to read the book. I liked the movie, the ending was a little too abrupt, but I really feel like Colin Farrell did an amazing job. I'm not really into him, he's always seemed like a cocky douche bag to me, but I loved him loved him loved him in this...so good and so cute. :)

I made a trip to Weymouth Walmart the other day and got Orange Crush in the glass bottles...totally awesome!!!! Other than that, my life is dull I guess.

Well homies, I need to get ready to go pick up my love from work. Until the next time, peace out yo.

i am tired and you are touching me touching me touching me
already i am zombied out and ridiculous
pale cold somnambulant pariah
curlicued

certainly soon i will put a pill on my tongue and lay down to sleep
how likely to be sooner or later
its already tomorrow here
supposedly

skimming over skin with nails like kittens loving puddled milk
bracelets renew my hopeless faith in
oddly lovely things like
wrists

numb and hot like a short circuited overly used real life dream
here is where and there and the hows
all make no sense
anymore

signing off for this evening since its obvious that i'm completely spent
intrigued me like a light halo in the mirror
fuzzy white edges made
blurry

you are reminiscent in my green hued consolation i guess
dear

I'll put a spell on you,
You'll fall asleep and I'll put a spell on you.
And when I wake you,
I'll be the first thing you see,
And you'll realise that you love me.



How I love the OC (can we say obsessed?!), good days with my girlfriend (she came home from work early, how awesome is that?!), a little mj now and then, dippin sticks from pizzahut, feeling like everything is incredibly beautiful?

If only this feeling could translate into tomorrow, life would be so much better.

I need to cuddle up my squishems...night.

Sandy is love

look at how great Sandy is...mmm, I especially like the green and indigo sections...simply tasty...ooo what a hottie...mmm i heart Sandy....


Kirsten & Sandy are love.

and I mean who could have Sandy without Kirsten?! Come on!? These are 2 hotties in one pod! What a deal! You might be saying to yourself, where is the colorbar with only Kirsten? Check out my info! It's the best! I know, you won't be able to stop yourself.

These are some hott ass colorbars, and I know you want them, if so, please comment and I will explain how you too can have the foxiest couple on the OC in your lj!!! This is a rather complicated process, you need somewhere to host images, but I'm sure we could work something out...

mmmsandyandkirsten, you know you want it.

Bleh I don't know what to say, I want to feel inspired, I want to feel normal. I am anything but.

Tonight when we finally got out of bed, T and I went to see "In Good Company." I felt overwhelmingly good about it. I really enjoyed it. It was quietly good.

My head is aching, but I can't seem to stop. Why can't I just go to bed like a normal human being?

They tell you I'm difficult, but so are they...

I fucking hate everything.

Mischa Barton and I have the same birthday, separated by 3 years. How interesting.

The OC! Yeah!

"Kathy, I'm lost," I said,
though I knew she was sleeping
"I'm empty and aching and I don't know why"

Days later and I'm still amazed by this.

I am very tired now, but I've pushed myself this far, why not stay up a little longer? I've been feeling like I have something to say all night, but so far, it hasn't surfaced. I'm tired. Maybe I should just try to go to sleep. I have to get up fairly early...

What is wrong with me? What the hell is wrong with my life? What the fuck what the fuck what the fuck!? I hear myself repeating repeating repeating, banging my head against the wall. I can't stand everything. I can't stand missing where I've been, I can't stand where I'm at, I can't stand this ridiculousness.

Where is my miracle money from the sky? Where is the eraser to wipe it all away? Where is my saving grace, where is the something the someone the anything to give me a step up? My life is like my jaunts through the snow, I'm always stumbling and falling in those mammoth banks. My socks get wet and I'm cold, and tired, and lethargic, and ridiculously insane.

I hate everyone. How dare you have such a good life without me. How dare you have somewhere to go.

That was a blatant lie, I don't hate everyone. I feel disgruntled.

I'm too tired for this. I'm going to fuck around on craigslist and go to bed.

I adopted a cute lil' tempura fetus
from Fetusmart! mm..yummy.


I adopted a cute lil' emo fetus
from Fetusmart! Hooray fetus!

And just because this one was soooo pretty:

I adopted a cute lil' October birthstone fetus
from Fetusmart! Hooray fetus!

This makes my life infinitely better.

I guess I could update you on a few things, seeing as how I never ever write. So new info should prove to be interesting? One would assume. We had a fairly quick December, having the tree up tends to trick me into thinking Christmas hasn't come yet, so I told Theresa we should start taking it down this weekend. I love it, it's so pretty in the window, but I think I'm ready to take it apart and put it away. I can't believe I have to go through summer before I get to have it again. Is it really January?

January 2005. I don't really believe it, I feel like I'm floating somewhere else, some other universe, 2005? How can it be 2005? We just graduated from high school, how can we be graduating from college? This is unreal to me. Completely unfathomable. Part of it could be that I've taken time off, and even if I hadn't, I still wouldn't be graduating until 2006, and I think part of it could be that I never spend time with people my own age. Both contributing factors to this year denial? I think so.

I wish I could take my computer in the bathtub. I'm dying for a bath, but I want to do this...I think really I want to be warm, and the bathroom is probably the warmest place right now.

I hate those voicemails from Rent with that annoying lady, Alexi Darling? I've always got my itunes on random and she pops up all the time! I am about to go through and delete her...her voice is like nails on a chalkboard.

Sometimes my life is shit. I'm freezing cold, unable to move. I had weird sleep, I'm too cold to take my dog out, too cold to write a nasty note to the mailman to deposit when I check the mail, too cold to do the laundry, too cold to move. Lately I've been thinking we should rearrange our room, so that we aren't directly on top of the window, but I guess I'm afraid it would look dreadful. But maybe it would allow for more heat to pump through? The nightstand is directly in front of the heater, which I don't feel really hinders its access, but maybe it does? Does anyone know? If I decided to do this, then the bed would not have 1 side against the wall. I don't know the last time I slept in a bed that didn't have 1 side against the wall. Theresa would actually be able to get in bed on her own side w/o having to climb over me. We would be able to make the bed without a hassle. Maybe she would like that? I've always been a big believer in having the bed against the wall because it minimizes the space it takes up, and I always found it to be cozier that way. I like feeling safe and snuggled up by the wall. (Ironically, Theresa is the one that sleeps by the wall) I think my favorite ever bed placement is when I had my bed by the far window in what most of you will recognize as Kailey's room. Man, that alone makes me feel old. Anyway, it was perfect for looking at stars/the moon. I like sleeping by windows. My parents hated it, as if I was going to fucking fall out the window? I don't think so. I doubt I would be propelling myself through a shut pane of glass in the middle of the night. And it makes it much cooler for sleeping, don't you think? As in you can feel the air roll right over you in the summer...what a wonderful thing. Thats one thing I liked about when Theresa and I were in the downstairs bedroom...all those windows, on a breezy night, it was a beautiful place to sleep. The one big thing about where we sleep now is the windows are behind us, which is perfect for my light issue. I can't have too much light in the morning, it kills my poor eyes.

I like sleep. Look how much I had to say about it. So why is it going so poorly for me?

I wonder if it would obstruct the new bookshelf? If it would look awkward? If Theresa would freak out when she got home? When I was younger I was constantly rearranging my room...I got bored very easily...after a few months I needed to mix it up a bit. Sort of reminds me of how we were talking about haircuts the other night...Theresa's hair is so long, and I think we all know how she talks about cutting it all off...but she's too afraid. Its funny because I remember when I was so afraid. I think doing that was one of the most liberating things I've ever done, because it solidified the notion that change isn't forever. That it is ok to do something different occasionally...if you don't like it, change it back, but you just might love it, and wonder, why was I ever afraid? It definitely gave me the ability to do anything to my hair. I want a haircut...I want to cut it short, maybe color it. I was so unhappy last time I colored it, but I feel the urge again...I'm bored.

I guess I really haven't said what is going on, now you've got to know however, just how crazy I am. I have spent all this time detailing haircuts and bed positions. When I realized I wasn't going to class today I said to myself, that's it, I'm going to be super productive today, it's going to be amazing, I'm going to come out on top. That never happens. I always make these empty promises to myself. I doubt I will even do 1/2 the work I need to do. Not that I won't be productive. After I get myself that bath, I'm sure I'll be ridiculously productive. Just not in the school sense. Oh well, I guess it's the effort that counts.

The other day we went to go to Target to get hair things and look at "business professional" wear for Theresa's new job at PSG (Professional Staffing Group, a temp agency), and as we went out to the car, I noticed that someone had taken a chunk out of my back bumper. I wanted to kill someone. I'm assuming it was a plow. This happened after I had this long conversation with Kim about how my life is shit, and this just proved that yes, it always gets worse. When I went to school on Tuesday, part of it was hanging off, so I just ripped the fucking part off, and now there is a nice gaping hole on the drivers side. A perfect car for Boston driving.

We celebrated Sadie's birthday (Jan 18) last night, I baked her rainbow chip cupcakes with funfetti icing. She also had one of those large "2" candles, which I dutifully helped her blow out after the singing came to a close. It was quite a great time. She had 2 cupcakes (how fitting) and eventually we are going to do her birthday project (we got this kit to make a paw print). I am worried about her, she needs to go to the vet, but I just can't take her right now. But I am looking into pet insurance, which seems to be a good idea. If you have a pet, you might want to think about it.

I think this is enough for you all to wrap your mind around for now. Off to be something. (Productive? Lazy? Cold?)

These songs are the bomb, I don't understand what this "blender" is talking about.

I'm very worn out from my crazy day at work, and I miss Theresa, I wish she was home, but alas, our schedules are opposite this weekend. I work 10-6, she works 6-12, I work 11-7, she works 6-1 or something like that. It sucks, but its nice to feel like I can accomplish some squishy things while she isn't here!

I'm rather excited about helping Emi move in, we're very glad she decided to stay. In the grand scheme of things, it's awesome!

I'm very sleepy in some ways.

Even though things are still rather shaky in some ways, I feel as if they are on the way back up. I mean, everything that goes up must come down. Does everything that comes down have to go back up? Yes? I hope so. We've been going down for a very long time, and perhaps things will finally even out, or head back up. I feel like we've been fighting for that forever. Maybe December '04, January '05...wouldn't that be nice?

It is only 3 weeks until the children arrive!!!! I'm so excited, I have to listen to the Lenny Kravitz song from the Gap commercial over and over!! (Muffy will be so excited I dled this)

Speaking of children, come on, xmas list already!! I know we are only getting you 1.62 presents, but lets be creative kids, not lazy. We dykes gave you a plethora of options. Don't poop out on us!! This includes all siblings, ie, Andy, Eric? (Ellen, we've got ya covered, so too bad) So lets go. I want to be done with this crap already.

Speaking of crap, I'd also like some input about the holiday dinner. On my itinerary I have:

Dinner:
Turkey
Mashed Po's
Baby vegetable mix
Gravy
Stuffing
Rolls (Crescent? Grands Flakies?)

Dessert:
Pumpkin Pie?
Apple Pie
Sugar Cookies
Some sort of pudding substance?

Please make your preferences known, since we will be shopping fairly soon for the Christmas feast!!!!

*I feel like the woman in the second David Sedaris story in Holidays On Ice...the one starting with "Seasons Greetings" with my excessive exclamation point use. I loved it, although I found the end to be a bit depressing*

Prior to my bath (but post family phone calls) I got bored and started to watch the Care Bears movie on demand. Feeling disappointed since it is the Care Bears Movie II that has all the cute baby Care Bears in it, I had to discontinue my use of this film.

Finally! I think Kailey has the xmas list! Gotta go!

Until tomorrow, adidios ;)

The complaint department has received notice that you are disappointed in my lack of literary input. I don't know if this will be adequate, but here's an update.

I guess I don't really update because nothing really happens. My life is the same every day, with a few varying factors. It has been spiced up a bit recently by my newly found employment at Williams-Sonoma. For those of you who don't know, it is the fancy pants cookware store, the job of my dreams for 3 years. After what I have experienced the past few days, I am starting to doubt that statement. My feet have been killing me, the customers are cranky/nasty, some of the work ("recovery" aka stocking the shelves, "greeting" aka saying hello to unfriendly people for an hour or two at a time) is unsavory, etc. Today was an exceptional day however, since for my entire five hour shift, I created Focaccia Stuffing with Gravy as well as dishing out Cranberry Relish!!! Well this was just it folks. Everyday the people who arrive first thing in the morning prepare something for sampling. I was unbelievably lucky since I not only got to cook today's sample, but prepare a very detailed, time consuming dish! I don't think work has ever gone so fast, it was great. So now that I am actually there, experiencing all of this, I am wondering if perhaps this is just my preliminary dream job, the real one preparing itself for an unveiling in the future.

Tomorrow is Thanksgiving. It is just going to be Theresa and I, which is odd, but I am very very excited about this. I purchased little turkey candle holders and tiny tapers at my aforementioned place of employment (with my kick ass 40% discount) and can't wait to see it all assembled on our wobbly table. I'm also making my first foray into the world of pie making. I suppose we shall see how it goes?

I'm tired and I feel irritable. I have been reading David Sedaris' Holidays On Ice and enjoying it thoroughly after finishing Me Talk Pretty One Day. I've also picked up the Metro like 5 days in a row, and failed to read it/do the crossword most of the time. I've sort of just given up on that for now. I have a plethora of magazines I've semi read, such as Real Simple and The Advocate, that I would love to finish, but haven't gotten around to it. All things are semi read these days I suppose. I also received my two books from the gay book club, Luna and Keeping You a Secret by Julie Anne Peters. I've started the latter, and its a bit odd, but we'll see I guess. The former was the one I was really interested in, so I figured I'd get Keeping... out of the way first. I also have some aspirations to read some other books I was supposed to read for school, but we'll see what happens.

Recently I watched Shrek 2, stoned, and not stoned. I think we've finally ended our watching Mean Girls every night stint. We rented The Stepford Wives and Elf the other day, previous to Theresa's exciting new employment at Blockbuster, where we can now get oodles (which = 7) of movies a week for free! Elf was awesome, Will Farrell was so cute, and I will definitely need to see it again before the Christmas holiday! We also watched The Santa Clause 2 on demand, similarly thrilling, but not as funny. Ah the Christmas spirit is upon us!

Do any of you feel like this is a multi media review?

To continue on that vein, my ipod will not update itself, which is making me sad, since I recently uploaded Rent: Disc 2, and would love to listen to it on my way to work in the morning. The entire Rent soundtrack has been in my head, so I've been listening to it rather repetitively, as well as various Jewel songs, and lots of Christmas music. Because I am a Christmas crazy! At work we have this product called Peppermint Bark, which is chocolate, white chocolate, and peppermint chips. One of my coworkers calls it "Christmas Crack." People buy it and rip open the tins at the register to savor the sweet flavor asap. It's hilarious, as well as tasty. I wish I had some now.

Keri came to visit us not too long ago, and it was a riot. We are hoping she will return in December for more good times, and delicious baked snacks (brownie anyone?) Emi is currently shacking up with us, since her roommate is an unbalanced psycho. We are hoping she will become a permanent resident of 66 Hyde Park Ave., as a certain dopey golden retriever would go crazy with out her, and a certain gay cat would miss his newly found feline companion. We are looking forward to the great deal of visitors we are expecting the weekend of December 17th, (especially Kailey!!!!!!) which should be ridiculously exciting!

Munching on Gardetto's snack mix (a favorite of Kathleen of Pepsi and I), I have an insatiable thirst. I must pause, for a glass of juice.

I'm not really sure what else there is of interest. Recently we have been enjoying Freshetta brick oven five cheese pizza, lots of chips and dip, Cracker Barrel pre sliced cheddar cheeses and Big Wheat Thins. If you are looking for a tasty snack, all of the above are the bomb!

I got my Thanksgiving cards out yesterday. A bit late, but better late than never.

I guess that's about it? This is way too long as it is.

Oh I burned myself today too. Stupid hole in the pot holder. Stupid me, chronic burner. Ah, the joys of cooking!

I wish everyone a safe voyage home, have a very happy thanksgiving!
