Crazy life!! Today's chaotic happenings!

Tabby — Fri, 25 Jul 2008 08:19:45 GMT

Just like my horoscope said, yes I have been a bit stressed and pulled in many directions, trying to please many people at once. Today was crazy but chill too. I was wicked late for work thanks to forgetting my wallet at my house. Also when I got to work, people were frantic and we had store problems and all kinds of mess. I got hit on all day and 3 dudes asked for my number. Then when I was at work, an acquaintance of my came in all bloody, blood on his arms, teeth, face, shirt; and he's like, "May I use your phone? I just got beat up. " So I guess he was at a friend's house that he's known for a long time, and there was a tweeker over there all spun out. His friend left to come down to my work n get beer n munchies or whatever, and left my buddy upstairs in his apartment with the tweeker. Well the tweeker starts talking shit and saying this dude is his good friend and has known him for awhile, and then my buddy was like "I've known him for like 12 years and never have seen you around." Then when said friend walked through the front door from the store, the tweeker jumped up as my buddy answered the door, and sucker punched him from behind in the head and busted out a metal extending baton, and started beating the crap out of him. The friend and the dood he was with did nothing about it, just watched this guy get hit and take off. The cops came and questioned him and he washed some of the blood off at my work. Damn idiot tweekers and their crazy shit. And honestly this acquaintance is a really chill dude and didn't do this guy wrong, so i couldn't really understand why this bs would go down. I kind of got blown off when I was almost off work, and it kinda sucked. But honestly that is the least of it. Kind of unordinary though, people tend to really try to not blow me off, unless they are my bf. Bfs get comfortable and walk all over me. People iIm just getting to know try to impress me, especially now that I'm super cautious. THEN I get on the bus after work, and I had some money in a bag with some food. I mean, like $400. I just temporarily put it there until I got home. I got off the bus and walked all the way to my house texting away. And when I get to my house, the bag is gone! I realize that I didn't get off the bus with it, and the bus was like to Washington Square n SW. So my friend and roomate, Eireann, walk down to wait for the bus to return. I'm so nervous that i want to puke, and my stomach was in knots. I got back on the bus and recognized the bus driver, then I looked to the back of the bus and BLAMMO, it's right there still!!! OMFG that was a damn miracle!

I truly am blessed and have karma to thank!!! I'm throwing my first event, and I am sooooooo excited.

Do your thang!!!!

Tabby — Tue, 22 Jan 2008 10:27:06 GMT

1. When was the last time you wanted to punch someone in the face? When a stupid girl at my friend's house that I didn't even know was calling me and my friend perverts and freaking out. She threw a boot at me and was talking major shit, just because she's a mentally unstable stripper. I wasn't the only one wanting to punch her! 2. Do hugs make you feel better? YES unless the person I'm pissed at is trying to hug me. 3. Have you ever passed out on the bathroom floor? Hahaha yes I was wasted and 15, and I was blacking out because I was chugging out of 2 bottles of rum at once, so I went in the bathroom and locked the door because there were these pervy Mormon boys I didn't feel comfortable around at my house party, As soon as it locked I went down like a tree, and BAM, my head hit the toilet. I woke up in the morning, and my uncle and crush-at-the-time told me that they had to pick the lock to the bathroom to get me out, meanwhile my uncle is yelling, "If somebody's in there with her, we're going to beat your ass." They found me passed out with a huge bruise above my eye, and took me to my bed where I threw up on the floor. That was fun to clean up, bleh! 4. Do you start the water before you get in the shower or when you get in? Before, gotta warm it up! 5. What did you do yesterday? Woke up, did promotions online for weekly events (need to pack them dance floors!), took a shower, went downtown and to the bank to cash my paycheck so I could pay rent. Then I met up with peter and we went to NE to meet with beautiful Jenessa and saw Christian there who is awesome as well. Then we went to eat and came back to my house. I attempted to go out last night, but just wasn't feeling it, so I stayed at home and planted some tomatoes and flowers and zucchini and watched a movie, then went to bed cuddled with the sweetest guy ever! 6. Have you ever brushed your teeth while in the shower? Sure why not? 7. Have you had more than 3 boyfriends/girlfriends at the same time? No way!! 10. Would you rather be in a permanent relationship or play the field? I want a lifelong buddy. I like being in a long term relatinship as long as it is good, honest, healthy, and i really feel loved by the other person. Otherwise, any relationship is not worth being in. I have stayed too long in relationships I am not happy in, and now I will tolerate it no longer. I'm happy being single if I don't find someone that can treat me right and have fun with me and benefit from me as I benefit from them. 11. What is your favorite sport? skateboarding 12. Do you have a lot of aquaintences? INDEED!! 13. Have you ever had stitches? Yep, 14 in my face right below my left eye. 14. How long ago did you hug someone? This morning at 10am, before Peter left he gave me a hug. 15. Did you believe that boys/girls had cooties? LOL no way! 16. Do you know how to use chop sticks? Well with both hands! 17. Lyrics stuck in your head? Kaskade "Sweet Love" 18. Do you like the Red Socks or the Yankees? either 19. What are you doing tomorrow? Sunday I will probably sleep a good chunk of the day and wake up to go spin records or something before possibly hitting up the fire jam! 20. Who was the last person you couldn't take your eyes off of today? Peter was leaving for work this morning and he is so hot!! 21. Have you ever given money to a homeless person? Yeah, very crippled homeless people. 22. Have you ever ran over an animal? I hit a bird and a lizard, felt horrible both times. 23. What is your favorite cereal? Trix, granola, Cracklin Oat Bran 24. Have you ever had an Oreo with peanut butter? never thought of it. 25. What are you doing right at this moment? Waking up and contacting people. I tried to call a sound/lighting company to see if they could get ahold of a DVJ 1000, but it seems that nobody has one. Also I contacted my buddy down in Utah to tell him I'm coming to visit. Also I am updating profiles now that my life is getting a lot busier. 26. Do you think its right for straight guys to get their tongue pierced? Why the hell not?? 27. Where’s your favorite place to be? I don't have a favorite, well, maybe the middle of the dance floor with a bunch of friends around or behind the decks 28. What's your favorite song? I have many! Soul Symphony by Chuck Love is a gorgeous song! 29. Are you more of a coffee or alcohol drinker? I drink coffee at work pretty regularly 30. Have you ever thrown shoes on a telephone wire? Yes actually, just a junk pair, pretty funny. 32. Have you ever climbed up a water tower? Oh yeah, and slept on one a few times as well. 33.Do you dream in black and white? No way, totally color. 34. Do you talk in your sleep? Yes quite often, more than I know. 35. Do you snore? Once in awhile. 36. Do you think about any of your ex's? I think about all of them at some point, but my bf is so awesome, he is on my mind more than anyone! 38. Funniest thing you heard all year? There are too many choices!! 39. Ever gotten a mosquito bite on your face? Yeah 40. What are you afraid of? Spiders, ew, and being heartbroken or used. 41. What does the last text message in your inbox say? From Cliff: Psshh...best to do nothing together. 42. Do you hate someone? I dislike evil people, but I am not full of hate at this point! 43. Do they know you hate them? NA, people know when I'm pissed at them right away! 44.What are two goals for you this year? Learn to spin records and get a job closer to my career goals. 45. What is your dream career? Producer, musician, writer, singer, dog breeder, event coordinator, multiple business owner, real estate investor, professional dancer, radio station owner and possibly the host of shows on it at times. 46. Who's on your mind right now? Many friends, Peter, Cliff, my mom and bro, Eireann, Jenessa, and actually I miss my friend Ernie who I haven't seen in a long ass time and miss. 47. What are you listening to? NIN's Ghost- eh 48. What's your mobile ringtone? I don't have anything special on there, no media!! 49. Need to get something off your chest? I LOVE life!!!!! Damn that was hard!! 50. How do you feel about your life right now? Did you read the last one?? I am doing great, on the path to success, happy as a clam, getting what I want out of life and love finally!! Peace

Questions...

Tabby — Thu, 20 Sep 2007 09:59:02 GMT

taken or single SINGLE :D are you happy with where you are? NO when you meet the right person, do you fall fast? yes, but I still haven't met the right one! have you ever had your heart broken? broken, shredded, stomped into the dirt and raped would you ever take someone back if they cheated on you? HELL FUCKING NO! have you ever talked about marriage with another person? Yes but it is taken either too seriously or taken advantage of, so I'd like to just leave the subject at rest until I've been with someone for a few years at least. Even talking about it gives dudes the wrong idea. do you want kids? Not for a few years and if I do I only want one or 2 from myself and one or 2 adopted because I'd like to help neglected children. how many? 1-4, not all my blood. would you consider adoption? Duh if somebody liked you right now, what do you think is a cool way to tell you? Show me, don't tell me. do you enjoy playing hard to get? That's what any woman should be doing nowadays, girls are too easy and guys are socially accepted jerks, gentlemen rarely exist!!! do you believe love at first sight exists? NO!! You have to get to know someone before you learn to love them. That is only "lust at first sight." do you believe in celebrating anniversaries? Hell yeah, why not. Anything to make life more exciting and more full of fond memories. do you believe that you can change someone? A little, but if they are a piece of shit to begin with, they will probably become even more of a piece of shit as time rolls by. do you have feelings for someone right now? Yes but I wonder if I should. do you still have feelings for an ex? A little bit for one, but he found someone cool who he deserves. how old do you want to be when you get married? When it's right and I found someone who is never a dick to me and is willing to put into the relationship what I put into it and not make me feel bad everyday. And puts success into our lives, not dragging us down or manipulating me. would you ever consider getting married in high school? FUCK NO!! That is foolish! would you marry any of your ex..s if they ask? I don't like to jump into marriage, especially with someone I had a reason for breaking up with.

I am back in Portland

Recent news...

Tabby — Tue, 29 May 2007 05:58:12 GMT

Tomorrow's horoscope, Gemini You are attuned to the meanderings of your planet Mercury and his entry yesterday into moody Cancer might be cause for anxiety. This is less about high-tension nervousness than a gnawing worry about your feelings that could drive you to act against your better judgment. Rash decisions are surely not a good idea now. Wait and think about it a bit longer. Tomorrow is moving day. The movers will come and load up the stuff, and by tomorrow we will be out.I'm a bit overwhelmed, and this is defiently causing some anxiety. I will take the time tomorrow night to just remeber to relax and take things at a pace when I get there. Las Vegas is not a place to be making rash decisions. I have been a little moody, a lot of anxiety, but I'd say I've handled it pretty well. The urge to dj is growing stronger and stronger, but the time is getting closer and closer. This month my objectives are save up for my house and get some records and headphones, and some needles. It is time for me to get out into the clubs of Vegas and meet some new friends, and dance my ass off and figure out the hottest places to go. Time to find djs and other music heads to hang out with, and practice with. I am so stoked! My only concern is knowing nobody. Thjat shouldn't last long though. I think I should actually say my main concern is TRUSTING nobody. That would be more accurate. I have been really tripping out about not being able to trust people. It's like my ability to trust flew out the door when I was homeless, and all this moving and relationships, friends being totally two faced. Anyways, adios and good night, buenos noches and such...

The events in your life are picking up speed, yet they still may not be moving fast enough for you now. You might feel like you aren't making enough progress, but reality could just be giving you some much needed breathing room. Reassess your direction and put a new plan into action, if necessary. LOL funny because this really does hit the nail on the head pretty hard. I totally felt like things weren't moving fast enough until I thought about exactly what is going on, then I realized that things are moving just fast enough. Things are picking up speed for me, finally, after feeling like I was being held back for so long. Life is giving me the right breathing room for the moment, if I were going any faster, I'd be too stressed. I reassessed my direction with my living situation, and ultimately I have decided that I really shouldn't move into someone else's house, because it won't be MY house with things run MY way. I'm staright up telling my new roomies exactly the way I like to live and finding people who specifically are comfortable with living the same way, and if someone doesn't like it, they can get out. My friend Evan wants the same things as me in a house, wants a music studio, doesn't mind if we have parties and loud music throughout the house, wants only trusted friends over, and is clean, responsible, and friendly, and social. He is open minded and chill and has mad respect for me. That is the number one rule in my house, respect or get booted the fuck out. So I put a new plan into action to find us a house next month and get together only the raddest roomies possible. This picture is my friend, Brittany and I, right before I got eaten alive by parasites in the lake behind us. We had some FUN, even if I did itch like crazy. I still have over 400 red itchy bumps all over me, but we sure had fun swimming out to the buoy and riding it like a horsie. LOL! I love you my brothers and sisters. Peace

Looking for roomates, Las Vegas, NV

Tabby — Fri, 11 May 2007 16:42:01 GMT

I am a very laid back yet very clean roomate, responsible, fun, and friendly. I love music a lot so I enjoy living with musicians or djs that like to crank it loud when the timing is appropriate, which doesn't include when others are asleep, and includes when we are throwing house parties. I like to have social roomates that hang with people they trust. I don't have to have my own bathroom as long as the other person/people clean up after themselves. I want to live in a peaceful house, I'm kind of a hippy, and 420 friendly so I don't want roomates who aren't. I am an awesome roomate, at least that's what my past roomates say, and I think I am too. I am a nanny for 3 kids so i have an extremely stable and well paying job, I will never be short on rent. Hopefully my roomates can be more like friends I live with eventually. I won't need a place until mid June through July, so I guess it just depends on who answers my ads. Until then I'll be living in my bosses house in Vegas. I am wanting to rent my own house and invite people who want the same living situation as me.

FUN!!

Tabby — Tue, 08 May 2007 04:55:37 GMT

I had tons of fun in Springdale this weekend and I hope to visit soon again. Damn i met some rad people there!! It was the best vibes and people of different ages treating each other as equals like things should be. Meeting people I wanted to meet for a long time because I had talked to them and they seemed so awesome, I had to meet them. Unforgettable... I am babysitting now, just bored, listening to a kitten meow and a child snore. It is peaceful and I'm happy to be here. I thought I was going to SLC to 2 parties this weekend but the person I was supposed to go with is being a major head trip. So I'm staying and he can go and take someone else. I don't care about the parties, I don't want to be around a head trip the entire time I'm there. I'll be living in Vegas making good money soon anyways, I'll see Dj Icey and Uberzone again, I'm sure. And I can take a real friend who apprciates the gesture. Life is just grand right now, nothing can really get me down even if it should. Every event is a learning experience, that's how i look at it, and it teaches me what to avoid in the future. I LOVE YOU ALL

My heart and my head are having a fight Wondering why I had to take flight Is it me or is it him Why does my future look dim? Scared and alone I bounced out of my zone To a world far away from the place I call home In the dark when I cry There is no one nearby To soothe my pain and calm my brain To put me on my feet again The emptiness inside Is a battle to hide Withered away a part of me is dying The hopes of forever ripped away The dreams of unexisting never fade Unconditional only means shit to me Love is a trick, I was played In my sleep the happiness comes to life I awake and I want to take my own life Love all I might but it is never enough It can tear me down no matter how tough Plastic smile as I talk to my crew Phony laugh but it doesn't show through Hey now I've learned to be a lot like you Rejected and away I flew. Day to day, the love of me is dying No matter what they said, I was always trying Now I'm stuck alone, so far from home crying No matter what you say, the trust in you is dying

So far things are going well. The happy faces alone excite me and have sent a warmth through me, but it is so different here. Everyone seems to be a speed or heroin addict here, for such a small city. I just ask myself how long before I get terminally homesick. I am already broken hearted because the person I love doesn't return even near as strong of feelings as I do. In fact, he tears my heart in pieces, spits on it, wipes the shit off his shoes with it, and tosses it away without a second glance. He doesn't realize that he threw away a diamond wrapped in platinum rose petals. How many men are lucky enough to have to nice, sincere, faithful, loyal, generous, pretty, AND persistent female fall madly and unconditionally in love with them and want to be theirs forever, even overlooking his flaws and trying to help him with his problems? That is, what, a one in a million chance? I DON'T NEED IT. And that's why I'm so far from home, my friends. This is why I have such a hard time getting close to someone. It makes me too cautious in the future. I can't say I haven't ruined a completely awesome relationship just because I was scared to have deep feelings for him. But then I bump into James and try to trust him with my heart and try to allow my deep feelings to flow freely and I get mashed like a hamburger. LOVE? I am trusting the wrong people with my heart. I want to be able to spot the good guys, but that is near impossible. I like girls too, but girls can be scandalous slutty bitches, especially if they are bi. Lesbians always want you to be just a lesbian, but they don't understand that I'm attracted to either. Finding a companion is so hard. I have spent all this time trying to find a life companion, someone I can soulfully marry one day and have so much fun together for the rest of our lives and be there for each other forever. Now I'm wondering why I'm even looking at all if it's only going to bring pain. Anyways, enough of my drama heartbroken bullshit. It sure is beautiful and warm here. I was sweating bad in the airport, it was like 72 degrees. I was so excited. I thought I'd be sad and crying, but I've been smiling and been excited. I think I'm relieved to get out of a house where I'm treated like dirt and am unappreciated.

Who agrees with me?

Tabby — Sat, 02 Dec 2006 04:27:35 GMT

Wingnut is a fucking awesome chic and has a beautiful soul! Who agrees? EVERYONE!!! :)

What now?

Tabby — Fri, 01 Dec 2006 22:45:07 GMT

I am thinking about being a teacher. I will have time off during the summer or breaks to pursue my music career and my current job is flexible and stable enough for me to go back to school. In fact, they encourage it. I like helping people learn and I like kids and can deal with people. I have even been thinking about being a music teacher. I could be a music scholar/musician. Good for our current times and teachers and professors are in demand and getting very decent wages and increasing. I need to move too. We need a nicer and more insulated place to live, but at least I'm not freakin' homeless anymore!
