i said i couldn't do it...
but i did it...

I was flipping through the new In Style a few minutes ago. I am not thrilled with that magazine...at all. I don't know why. Everyone else in the world loves it, I'm sorta "eh" on it. Anyway, I was feeling the "eh" feeling...until...a familar face popped onto a page. Peter Krause! There was an interview with Peter Krause (Nate on Six Feet Under). I was so excited...and then I read the interview...and it was a page long. How dumb. But still cool.

And today is Stonewall's birthday! I was going to do some crazy, kooky Stone-thing in my journal today...like I did on Stone's b-day last year (since you can't look at my archives, the page was plaid with Stone's pants gracing the top). I think you will all live without seeing a picture of Stone Gossard on my webpage.

I wore my green Editor pants today (Erica, I owe you an e-mail, I am so awful, I publicly apologize for slacking at e-mails to my dear friend, Erica). I didn't plan on cracking the grene pants out for awhile. They technically are fall pants. And I don't want to get "sick" of them. But I really wanted to wear a skirt today and unfortunately, I don't own a lot of skirts. I have problems finding skirts because I can not wear skirts that cover my knee. They must hit me above the knee...or else I look like a goon. I bought a cute green View skirt a couple of weeks ago but a) I just wore it last week and b) I need to wash it. Other than that, I bought a nice Max Studio black skirt, but it feels wintery to me. I have a black Forever 21 pencil skirt...and while I wore it to work once already, I feel it's too tight and "sexy" for work. It makes me feel slutty.

I went to Buddy's with Rich tonight. The pizza tonight was SPECTACULAR! It was so crunchy. That's the best pizza there is...crunchy, "Detroit style" pizza. Detroit style...I'm telling you, it's my new phrase for Detroit area pizza. Cause I really do think it's distinct. It's not generic, run-of-the-mill pizza...which may surprise people since Domino's and Little Caesar's are Detroit, yo. Well Domino's...more the outskirts. But pretty much "Detroit." Oh yeah, and can not forget, Hungry Howies is based here, too. The strange thing is, there are no Domino's within a close distance to my house. There really aren't a ton of Domino's around here. I can't even tell you the last time I had Domino's. I think it was at a venue.

I haven't really thought about it much, but I had a conversation with a friend last week about my journal. And we started talking about how I have to play it safe in here. And it's not so much subject, but talking about people in my life. I feel like I have to protect particular people or I may write something and infringe upon someone else's privacy. I guess I try not to think about how difficult it is to write in here sometimes. "Oh I can't talk about that" or "oh, I can't write out so-and-so's name." Do you think perhaps I am over-reacting and I should just... say screw it. I guess when me and my friend got talking about how free I was when I started my online journal (July of 2000)...it kinda made me sad to see I'm taking steps backwards instead of steps forward.

It slipped my mind, yet again, that I needed apple cinammon muffin mix. I dropped my brother off at work and ran into Hollywood. I needed yogurt for work, anyway. I get my yogurt. And then find... they do not have ANY apple cinammon muffin mix---period! Not even Jiffy mix! I was so pissed. On the way home, I decided, "Fuck this, I'm going to drop off my yogurt and go to Farmer Jack's." Going to my two least favorite grocery stores this evening was not at the top of my list. And the thing that sucks...is both are necessary evils: Hollywood has Newman's microwave popcorn and Farmer Jack's has Nantucket Nectars. Maybe that's why I hate both these places now...because I have to frequent them to keep in supply of the goods.

I have bad roots again. I'm also on my last box of Fortune Cookie hair dye. I don't think I can let go of the light hair just yet. But I think I need some..."spice"...so after I dye my hair...and then I get roots again, I think I'm going to the salon to get my hair dyed. Just for fun and stuff.
