dear diary,

so. i haven’t fixed my car, it is still undrivable, and i have absolutely no desire to fix it. unless it is to fix and than to quickly sell..

i am pretty much over cars. owing, having, and driving one. i have been using public transport for the last 2ish weeks and even though phoenix has such horrid public transportation it is pretty much 80% better than having to deal with a car.. and today, i went shopping for the first time without one. carrying around bags of shoes, jackets, cheap jewelry and other goods was not fun at all. if you see a blonde in central or midtown phoenix and maybe even in scottsdale - around fashion square, with lots of shopping bags walking to the nearest bus stop, stop and say hi. i also carry a huge stella mccartney bag with an adorable pattern printed on it. i am easily identifiable, pretty much. i don’t think most people in this little town would so easily give up there car, but i did it without even thinking twice. fuck cars.

i also ordered a new camera. it will be here tuesday.

things aren't the worst but they could be better.

the barbeque was super awesome, despite a cake falling on the floor and me falling at the end of the night too. i also accidently deleted 10+ gigs of stuff. nothing majorly important but still, it's mainly the not knowing of what exactly those 10+ gigs were.. and than you go to search for something and you know it was part of those 10+ gigs - i will see if it can be recovered tonight i guess..


things most people don't know about me:

- i'm addicted to cable news. msnbc.

- i collect bad religion and garbage on vinyl.

- my mom went to jail for a year for white-collar crimes. and it destroyed our whole family.

- i lost more weight than what i currently weigh and i am not even super happy about what i currently weigh. (but not unhappy enough to, actually, do anything to change it.)

- i love when i see people reading newspapers, but i hate the way newspapers feel so i hate even touching them, let alone, reading them.

- i collect anything elephant. illustrations. sculptures. anything. and someday the eames plywood elephant will be mine.

- i made a bus out of clay in kindergarten and it was cast into metal and has been on display publically ever since.

- i think sixteen stone by bush was one of the best albums of the 90s. but that doesn't take into consideration all the albums i actually listen to that were made in the 90s by artists that i actually listen to on, like, a regular basis.
