at Yis’/Adrienne’s birthday party… after everyone left.

favies.
So your names are Sally and Ali?
YEAAAAAAH SAPP, whatchu know about that?

Love these fucking kids. Apparently I looked really pissed that night so Paul, the manager of National Mechanics bought me a bunch of free drinks, holllllla. It took me 40 minutes to meet up with everyone ‘cos mad creeps were spittin’ weak game and wasting my time.

Today was exhausting. Woke up still drunk and held a meeting at the apartment. Ran to the bank, rented a Uhaul and ran errands all day. We didn’t get back till 930 and spent the rest of the night cleaning, putting away things and building things. We basically bought everything we needed in the apartment and it only took us 4 months to do it. We bought a grill, patio furniture, apartment things, shit I needed so I can finally start cleaning my room and everything we need for summer.

I’ve been breaking out in hives all week from work stress, need to quit asap. Cinco de shitshow in OC this weekend? I think so

This past week has been crazy/busy.

Last Friday was Steph’s birthday so TBC met up in Old City. There was a 90210 poster in Sugar Mom’s bathroom and I saw a Degrassi reference, AMAZING. Every dude always wants to try on my jacket, Dustin is no exception. He also hit me on the head and Steph took the picture just as I shot him a dirty look. TBC drunk as shit at Moms.

Saturday was Vicki’s birthday. We made her an awesome birthday card but I forgot to take a picture because we rushed over to her house. Cops came and busted her party 15 minutes after we got there so we moved the party around the corner to our place. It was finally nice enough to sit out on the roofdeck.

Sunday we had a McJawn meeting at our place. John and I worked on McJawn’s splash page, check it out. We smoked and worked all day then we had a potluck. Yis made this gross looking drink called the grouch, it was delicious though. We had so much food left over, it was ridiculous.

Monday we went to the Pope and met up with Avalon. The hipster grifter was hooking up with someone in her band. She and her friend Amanda told us a bunch of stories about Kari. They found out she was lying about having cancer way before it was all over the internet. People went to SXSW/Coachella and asked the bands they met if they knew Kari because she name dropped a bunch of bands and said she played with them/knew them and no one knew who the fuck she was so they googled her and saw her SLCPD most wanted poster. She was def hanging out in Philly every weekend for a while before everyone found out.

Tuesday, John came over. He illustrates and I’m the tech geek, we’re an unstoppable team. We’re collabing on a lot of shit, I’m working with Yis for Patty Crash and I’m also designing a few websites. They’re all paying jobs, getting paid to do shit you’re good at is fucking awesome.

Wednesday was Superdope. There was some bitch running around purposely bumping/running into everyone. I elbowed her in the head/boob the couple times she bumped into me, after the fifth time, I put my boot on her back and kicked her forward. When she turned around, she had a look of disbelief on her face. She walked towards me all angrily and I grabbed her by the throat. I had a death grip on her throat, I was squeezing hard and was getting ready to beat her face in. Kevin, Tyler and some random dude swooped in and pulled me off of her and started dragging her away. I instigated and yelled at her to come at me while Kevin was tryna hold me back. Tyler pulled the girl to the side and said something to her. I don’t know what he said but he came up to me and told me she wanted to apologize so I let her and she left.

Normally I don’t feel bad for the other person in these situations and feel justified in my actions but I felt really bad for choking her, she didn’t deserve that. I’ve been dealing with anger management issues since I was in middle school and I’ve been good at suppressing it but with all the bullshit at work lately, someone can look at me the wrong way and I’ll snap on them. All the built up stress from work the past few months makes me super hostile ALL THE TIME. I don’t like being that person so I need to quit my job soon.

I told my dad I want to quit yesterday. He asked what my back up plan was. I have money saved up, I’ve been getting a lot of paid design jobs and a job lined up for summer. I haven’t had a vacation since I went to London on my 21st, I need to start traveling again.

My job is stressing me out to the point I’m about to stab someone any minute. I have a 6 inch knife hidden behind my counter in case someone tries to rob me. I’ve been thinking about buying a switchblade “just in case” because of work, which is completely ridiculous. I work fucking retail, I shouldn’t be dealing with this type of bullshit. I don’t want to deal with cops, dumb employees who steal from my store and drug addicts trying to rob me. I don’t want to commute 40 minutes to work in the hood anymore, I’ve put up with it for 3 years and I’ve finally had enough. I need to get out of this shitty environment because it’s obviously hazardous for my mental health. I need to get away from North Philly, relax and have some ME time.

Thursday we all went to the Barbary, no one got choked out and good times were had by all.

I’ve been living in my apartment since the end of December and I just met most of my neighbors for the first time yesterday. I saw my landlord, who owns a beauty salon right beneath my apartment for the third time ever. I work too damn much. My neighbor Mark, who lives across the street from me is opening up a book/record store. He was using that space as a storage room and he was just giving away a bunch of shit to clear space for the store. He gave me a bunch of nice plates/cups, a crystal bowl, an oversized duffel bag full of zippers, a light up mirror, iced tea maker, 2 huge luggage bags, a bunch of free books and a curtain for my bathroom. Best dude, he kept insisting I had to take certain things because they’re girly and I’m a girl hahahahaha. If you want to check out some of the stuff he has that he’s giving away for FREE come to Dickinson and Mole.

Today is Ali’s birthday, TBC in Old City again! I need to design my TBC tattoo so I can get it soon. I’m gonna be the first girl to get one Summer 2009, love life and everyone in it.
