I want to be a ray of fucking sunshine. Really, I do.

Sometimes I wonder if I appear to have aged recently. I'm always so run down feeling and it seems like every joint in my body creaks. Maybe I just need to stop sleeping on the futon I've had for the last five years and get a real mattress. If that futon could talk, it would scream.

My ticket for my trip back east has been purchased. I will be splitting time between my home town of Marshall, MI and the pit that is Ft. Wayne, In. I really wish I could convince my mother to move away from there.

I will be happy to get out of town and leave my PDX life behind for a week. Too much stupid self-inflicted drama. I want to wish someone I care about to get better but I don't think he would welcome those wishes or worse, not believe I am sincere.

I chawed blankly on some tasty beef jerky and checked in merchandise at work today. Nothing too exciting happened besides me having to intimidate a homeless guy into leaving the store. I tried to be nice, and I was. My level of burnout at work is amazing right now. I am so very happy that I get not one, but two weeks off this year paid. I hope to take the second week off in June or July and go down to Tucson to visit friends and family. I'll get to see my not-so-little sisters! :-)

Upcoming fun things that I may or may not be doing (budget permitting, who needs to eat):
-Dame Darcy @ Satyricon 4/8
-Angels of Light @ The Blackbird 4/9
-Tarmvred @ The Jasmine Tree 4/11 (I'll be there no matter what)
-[flux] @ The Cobalt 4/12
-Pigface@ The Roseland 4/14
-Portland Spring Brew Fest @ the Portland convention center 4/18

Ugh! The 19th I will board a plane to Detroit (risking SARS, hijacking, etc). I land back in Portland on the 26th just in time to get my shit together at home, grab some cds and head out to the Cobalt for my dj debut at Flux. I think I will be a little more than cranky on the 27th.

This has nothing to do with the entry or anything, but why do they call Portland PDX?

it's actullay the abbrieviation for the airport. but people use it as shorthand for Portland as a whole quite often.

busy busy girl.

And yes a real bed will do wonders for you. After leaving my futon I've never felt so good in the morning. You don't know how nice it is to get up and not hurt.

too bad they dont have any brew fests up here, at least from what I can tell.
