"uhh. . . no. . . it's with a 'k'. . . yeah, thanks. . ."
kristian and kristine. . .
i took a picture very similar to this one back in november. . . of a merch dude who trumps all the rest. . . but here's me. . . rockin't the merch mafia. . . day one. . .

Television
my ROOMMATE WATCHES DR. PHIL EVERY DAY! i dont watch tv anymore. . . but when i did, i watched... friends, alias, scrubs, dawson's creek, felicity, conan, seinfeld, leno, er, snl, then kickin it old school with the cosby show, full house, growing pains, boy meets world, ghostwriter, etc. . .honestly don't watch much tv though. . . not a lot of time. . . but when i do have time, it's basically to emerse myself in any reality other than that which is my life at this current point in time. . .
p.s. grey's anatomy & ugly betty consume my time on abc.com ;) mcdreamy's from mcmaine!
so stupid myspace deleted all of my books. . . and i don't have the patience right now to re-type them all in. . . thanks a lot myspace.
Heroes
people who take on seemingly impossible tasks and succeed. . . those who overcome the insanely horrible things that life throws their way. . . and go on living. . . those who thrive in the midst of chaos and come out on top despite their hardships. . .
. . . and dane cook. . . he's f*cking hilarious!
video of the moment. . .
it's gone from the used, to weezer, to sarah mc, to TBS to a video remix of greenday/oasis. . . and then appropriately 'wake me up when september ends". . .
no video for now. . . you can listen to jimmy eat world instead. . . and then buy their new EP. . . cause you know you want to! ;)
disclaimer: if you have a widescreen computer screen. . . my profile fits perfectly. . . if you don't. . . you hate me. . .
but i still love you. . .
one fish. . . two fish. . . red fish. . . blue fish. . .
"I'd make the worst boyfriend ever, except for the dude your smitten over."
"sorry i bumped you into will turner ;)"
as we grow up, we learn that even the one person that wasn't supposed to ever let you down probably will. . . you will have your heart broken probably more than once and it's harder every time. . .you'll break hearts too, so remember how it felt when yours was broken. . .you'll fight with your best friend. you'll blame a new love for things an old one did. you'll cry because time is passing too fast, and you'll eventually lose someone you love. . .so take too many pictures, laugh too much, and love like you've never been hurt because every sixty seconds you spend upset is a minute of happiness you'll never get back. . . LIVE LIKE YOU WERE DYING. . .
and you will fall in love with the moonlight. . .
so come on. . . come on and say so. . .
heyyyyy jude...
mcdonald's bathroom near fenway. . . aka best ballpark EVER. . .

oh no. . . this couldn't be more unexpected. . .
. . .and dear i promise you . . . a change is overdue. . .
i swear i didn't mean for it to feel like this. . . . . .like every inch of me is bruised. . .
hurry. . . go on ahead. . . good things won't let you wait. . .
.
. . . so tonight these stars can shine as our halo. . . . . . and the pine trees watch over like guardian angels. . .

good god woman can't you take a compliment?! i was being serious. i think it's a really good picture of you. maybe it would be better if i said you looked like a hungry / retarded walrus. how's that?! sheesh!
Oh love relax! I wasn't saying you were the "Debbie Does Dallas" girl. What I meant was that bananas are suggestive phallic shaped objects one might see in a porn such as the classic film, "Debbie Does Dallas." So really it was a jab at the whore in the Betty Page costume. See! Now cut it out or I'll put that banana in your tail pipe. I'm hungry.
Halloween was crazy!! It was another world hanging with the drag queens...but we of course had so much FUN!! We all need to hang out soon..we are going out Friday night in Pasadena you guys should come! It's a Brock family outing! Hope your Halloween with tight boy was fun..we will swap stories soon! Talk to yah soon lady
You're adorable, I miss you. I had a lovely birthday, thank you. And of course I would love to get multiple coffees with you, now that I do drink it semi regularly!! And just so you know, you are always welcome on my couch. Always. And we're getting a nice new one, with a bed in it. Crazy! Come see me.
I'm not sure when I'm going home next, maybe thanksgiving, if not, maybe xmas. You? is there a reunion in the making?
