I didn’t realize this blog had gained such a following after I’d started a new one!

You create amazingly brilliant and pointless diagrams, of course.
I have some intriguing and wonderful friends with many different interests. One of my more interesting friends is Irene. She is a blast and always has the best ideas and interests. We seem to mesh quite well and I am always intrigued by her and the things she’s interested in.
Irene suggested we do a Zombie Crawl here in our wee little hometown, Alameda. We had seen similar crawls in San Jose, but we found out about them last-minute and they were not only 45 minutes away, but they were on week-nights. I don’t know if Alameda has ever seen such an event and part of me wonders if we Alameda can even handle it. The plan is to basically bar hop dressed as zombies. We are starting on the West End of Alameda. We will be taking the bus (for fun) across town (in full zombie garb) to Park Street where we will roam around groaning. I can’t WAIT to see the bus driver’s face and shoot photos of zombies on the 51 bus line.
I am STOKED.
I have had someone who runs the Zombie Prom in San Francisco contact me and tell me they are interested in participating and helping put the crawl together. I have two people working on flyers and we are already getting zombie drink specials at one of the stops.
I was giggling to myself when I saw the list of people who politely declined the event, I wondered how many of them clicked no right away, thinking “oh hell no”. I remember years ago hearing about clown parades in Portland and thinking “what the fuck are they thinking, are you kidding me?”.
And now? I can’t think of a more fun way to spend my birthday weekend (besides Disneyland, which ironically is the exact opposite of a zombie-filled birthday). So save the date. Saturday, February 13th, 2009. I will post the flyers as soon as they’re finished.
I would like to know… when the hell did I grow up? When did I become so busy that I need to have a planner? What happened to the days of being care free and living life minute for minute, not month for month?
I have this horrible habit of “over booking”. It’s happened more than once and I look like a douche when I have to tell people “I’m sorry, I made twenty-seven sets of plans this Friday night and won’t be able to hang out with you”.
I smell like carnitas today. I started making them last night, they have been cooking since and will continue to cook through this evening for a total of 22 hours. My sweatshirt was in the kitchen all night, about 5 feet from the crockpot and now smells like slow cooked pork. Not a bad smell, but I’d rather not smell like pork.
I slept on a pillow that was too thick last night and I can’t move my neck today.
And if I hear or see someone express their happiness for “hump day” again, I’m going to hurl.
I go to the doctor a week from today and I am not looking forward to it. I am expecting her to go on about how reproductively challenged I am… and how I should have children now, if I’m going to have them at all. I would love to have children now and am willing, but I’m not convinced the boy friend is. ‘Till I get the OK to get active again, I’m just going to be a lazy lard. I would really, really like to shed a few more pounds, but that’s difficult when you’re not supposed to move your abdomen very much.
I remember when a friend in high school wasn’t allowed to hang out with me because I was a bad influence.
I really was.
I was absolutely the kid you don’t want your kids hanging out with. I ditched school, had sex, started fights, smoked, had dyed hair and piercings… you name it, I probably did it. And now I’m a complete square bear. Funny how things change. I am the absolute opposite person than I was 10 years ago.
