random strangers...i love this city
we then headed to zeitgeist no picture taking allowed. i don't care because i don' think i will be frequenting this joint. they treated my friend with disrespect. i will leave it as that.


allison's cute lil scooter! i want one! i'd get it painted pink and have hello kitty all over it! now how to put my suitcase on it...

then off to martuni's...i guess i was having too much fun, i did not take as many pics....hmmm...
maybe heather has some?!

today i did not feel 100%.
i went to work, had a few strange looks...i didn't care.
i finally went to the lavatory. i only drew in one eye brow. that is why everyone looked at me strange. later, my pen was leaking, got it all over my hands and my lips. i was rubbing my lips with my inked hands. oh how fun.

Oh my...found on etsy

oh my...

trades?

I have no idea who reads my blog, but if you are reading this, would you be interested in doing a package trade of sorts? I remember back in the day on livejournal, I was part of a community where we traded packages...it can be filled with anything, I normally got a flat rate box and filled it with STUFF! I just got an unexpected package and can not believe how happy it made me. After a whole crap load of junk mail to see a lil package from Jean. It really made my day! I was being a slug all day and had no motivation to do anything. This lil package started my day rolling! So if you are reading this and are interested post a comment and let the trading begin! :)
