THis is why I want to be a midwife. Okay, not for the orgasms, but to change how our society sees pregnancy and birth. IT IS AWESOME.

Association Meme: Comment to this post and I will give you 5 subjects/things I associate you with. Then post this in your LJ and elaborate on the subjects given.
Five from Megan:
1. Changing Hair Color: I dye my hair a lot. It's a lot of fun. I like how hair color changes how you look. But, I think I'm starting to slow down a little in my hair changing. I know what looks good on me now, I don't have to experiment as much. But, really, if Perkins allowed it, I'd have blue hair right now.
2. Perkins: Sucks. I don't mind working there as long as I just focus on the immediate tasks. I enjoy most of my coworkers, and I really try to do my best. I don't want to be a crappy server because I can just imagine what it's like to get crappy service. But really, Perkins is just another corporation that's killing people and our planet.
3. Dating: Yeah, I date. And, I can get very enthusiastic about who I'm dating. But, I'm really kind of sick of it. I've been single pretty much all my life. I know who I am, what I like, I'm ready for a relationship. And, I think I'd be a pretty awesome girlfriend. I'm really hoping things with Luke work out.
4. Metalocalypse: One of the best animated series evar (maybe). Dethklok got me into metal. And, I'm not gonna lie, Swisgaar is super fucking hot.
5. Fashion: I do have a passion for fashion. I think my style is pretty cool. I like to call it Classic/Indie/I-don't-give-a-fuck. I probably spend too much on clothes, and I probably have too many clothes. Meh, it makes me happy, and I'm still living within my means. I like change, and there's nothing easier than changing clothes. |

reply to this post, and I will list three things I love about you. Maybe more than three. Then repost to your own journal and spread the love.
I've only been home a total of 2 hours yesterday and today. I'm house sitting until Friday, and god I miss my house. Taking care of another dog makes me really miss my own pets. And I really hate that my only view of the intarnetz I have is on my phone. Whatevz, I got $100 for it.
One of the workers at chipotle recognizes me. That embarrasses me a bit. I only go there when I know that's all I'll be eating that day. Maybe i'm doing that too often.
My sister's in Germany until Saturday.
I made $530 in 10 days. That's exciting. Another 10 days and then I'll have this semester paid for.
French class Andrew is revealing his douche side. This I am not a fan of.
My parents' 20th anniversary is coming up. They want me do play a little something on my viola. It's really not a big deal, but i'm putting a ton of pressure on myself about it. I just don't want to be a disappointment. |

Dear Peter,
seeing you and your white moccasins pop out to make a call totally made my day. thank you for acknowledging us enough to say "hey." but, tonight. you fucking rocked. thank you for coming to the middle of the stage a bunch. and especially, thank you for practically falling on me when you went for the stage dive. i'm glad you knew i was there to support you. ALSO, thank you for motioning to follow you to the merch stand after the show. you made me so happy tonight talking to me, signing my shirt and posing for a picture.
hearting!
Valynne

Dear Bjorn,
fuck, you're amazing. i can always tell from your performances, and will never be able to forget, that you just know how to rock. THANK YOU for the hug! and the best picture ever! you'll always be my favourite. good luck with the lady in the white dress. may you always get action at every show.
let's hug more often,
Valynne
~
Dear John,
i'm so glad you were able to play this show! you are so awesome and i take back everything i jokingly said about you while referring to the weakling drummer from the May show. Thank you for coming to the stage before the encore and then shaking my hand when you signed my shirt. but where'd you go after that? i regret not getting a picture with you!
1000 thanks and cries of joy,
Valynne
~
Dear Peter Bjorn and John,
i love you. in all honesty, i love you. your performances show that you are all 100% into it. your music has so much power for me and the way you deliver it amplifies that ten-fold. you are one of my favourite bands and will always be an inspiration to me. one of the greatest things about you is that even though your song is so big, you're not carried away by this sudden fame. you're still real and not afraid to show it. your raw energy and attitude is what a real rock show is all about.
no words can express my love and gratitude,
Valynne
PS: come back soon!!
~
Dear Megan,
WE JUST SAW PETER BJORN AND JOHN!!! i'm so glad you came with! thank you for waiting in line with me for 4 hours, even though no one lined up behind us until 7. i'm happy we never had to choke a bitch, because that would've ruined the night. thank you for taking my pictures and also waiting until we decided to leave. we haven't hung out like that in a long time, and i really enjoyed it! please, let's do it again soon. because, we've got a lot of work to do if we want to open for PB&J next time they tour!
love!,
Valynne |

Ah, I have such a huge crush on...
MY NEW JACKETSES!!!
I got this totally hot one at uo for $20. It is fushia with an asymetrical black stripe that goes across the back. And then I invested $50 on a hot faux leather jacket from hm with multiple pockets. They are both so hot. Hot. Hot hot.
Too bad I am also having large crushes on french class Andrew. I really hope I'm not just being optimistic when I say I think the feelings may be mutual. But, god. I haven't had a crush like this since high school. To be young again...
4 days between class is fucking torture. |

totally made $100 in tips tonight. yeah, i was the only one on the floor after 8.30, but people were leaving really good tips. maybe it was the pigtails.
renfest with Eggins on saturday. got a tarot reading. i don't remember all the cards i got, but i'm a definite helper/healer/teacher type, strong and empathetic. so, while a lot of people come to me for help, i have to watch out for emotional vampires, but i'll be able to tell the difference. i shouldn't be afraid to take time for myself (this was The Hermit), and while i may have a lot of challenges up ahead, i've got all the energy to overcome them. a lot of new opportunities will be coming up (The Fool), the first of which will be in 3 months (lolz India). some of the opportunities will be for my future career, and i could do well with any of the options, but should choose the one that makes me the happiest. AND! within the next 3 years, a man will come into my life. he'll come to me for help, which i will be able to do. and, instead of dragging me down, helping him will actually rejuvenate me. yay positive energy. The reader also said Megan and i are highly evolved women (her words, not mine). a lot of what she said really rang true for me, and i'm excited to see everything unfold.
unfortunately, there were no hawt menz at the Herpetological Society area. but the hilarious pickle boys made up for it.
sunday, i did the St. Paul Classic Bike Tour with my family. 30 miles around the city. it was intense, but a lot of fun. after, we all had Vietnamese in frogtown.
so, i'm really not a fan of this whole "Guy Likes Me, But I'm Really Not Into Him" situation. he's a pretty cool guy, and it's not like he's ugly or anything, but i am really not interested. unfortunately, he doesn't get this and enjoys being really obvious with his attraction for me. at first, i thought it was just fun, and i would flirt back a little, but now... it's just uncomfortable. like so much so, i don't even want to be friends with him any more. ::sigh:: i'm such a heartbreaker.
yay homework! note to self: get to french early so you can sit by cute friend Andrew. :3 |

ah! i have a new and pretty blackberry pearl. it is so perfect. i'm going to have too much fun with the voice commands. i had walked into the T-Mobile store totally set on getting a sidekick 3, but after a long chat with the sales associate, i saw the light. i'm getting everything i wanted on the sidekick for $100 cheaper and in a much sleeker, smaller package (not to mention that it works better and is more reliable). and now i can get all my email on my blackberry and go on the intarnetz!! also, the guy gave me this website where i can get ringtones for free!
speaking of intarnetz, i have my own computer back, and i can go online with it!! for almost a year, i've been using my mom's computer for everything, but now i'm back downstairs on my own piece of crap computer!!! not really, but it is 6 years old and i don't have enough room to put all the rest of my music on. ah, c'est la vie.
speaking of french, i now have a soul mate and he is a 40+ year-old frenchman named Jean Pierre. he said he was from Paris. after i told him i was in Paris in May, he said, "See? Zis iz why we belong togezzer!" <3
PS: Megan, PB&J? monday sep. 24, 8.00, first ave, $20. i already took the day off from work. i'm gonna call first ave tomorrow to see what the box office hours are, so we don't have to go through ticketmaster. if need be (this is assuming you still want to go), i could just pick up the $20 from you and get both tickets AT THE SAME TIME!!!1 lolersk8s. |

ugh, for having mostly fun-ish classes, this semester is gonna suck. so far, no one has shown themselves to be cool in my drawing class, the piano professor made it sound like one can only take the class if one is taking this other class, and since i'm not taking that other class, i'm screwed, i might not be able to take creative writing because i don't have the freshman comp prerequisite, i've forgotten how to factor polynomials, and my french prof is new and i can already tell i'm not gonna like her teaching style. not to mention that i have have homework from all my classes. in other news: oh, wait. there is no other news. my life is empty except for school and work. |

omg life! and by life, i mean work. i've been working almost 40 hours every week, and to be honest, it's not that bad. even with work, i realized i've had more of a social life than i've had in a long time. i'm making a ton of friends at work. i went shopping with Morgan and hung out at her house by the pool. i went to the casino for the first time with another server Brandon and did the penny slots and played blackjack and lost $40. that was really fun. last night, Brandon and i went out to the middle of nowhere at 3 in the morning and did some crazy stuff with his large format camera. i'm really excited to see how the picture turns out.
on saturday, i saw Les Mis at the Chanhassen Dinner Theatre. god, i love that musical soooo much. i went with my parents, Vanna and grandparents. got to talk a lot with my grandmother about India. the orphanage i'll be volunteering at is in Chennai, and we'll be leaving christmas night and getting back jan. 11. ah! i'm so excited.
other than that, not much is really going on. i'm excited for classes and my boy situation. this guy and i have been clicking really well, and i'm pretty sure he's really into me. i'm just not sure if i want to take the next step. i kind of like this between stage. |

i guess rock climbing saves lives. my sister took that bridge to work and back every day. she would've been on it right at the time it collapsed, except she went rock climbing in St. Paul right after work.
and i just blew $65 on shampoo, conditioner, an eye shadow, liquid eyeliner, and a thing of Burt's Bees lip gloss. then had the best sandwich ever at The Good Earth. mmm portobello. |

it's odd. the first thing i thought of when i heard about the bridge collapse was, 'Voldemort.' i'm thankful all my people are okay. happenings like these always make me wonder what i would do in the same situation. would i have died?
and now for major update:
work! right now, all the awesome people i work with are totally making up for the less-than-happy things about Perkins. i'm going over to a fellow server's (Morgan) house tomorrow, because she has a pool. and i'm going to another fellow server's (Nick) party on friday night. tips have been pretty awesome, and for the most part, i enjoy it. what's not so cool is having people i vaguely know come in. that's just weird. like Small Reese's Blizzard. thank god Alyssa had his table. but, you who i know should come visit! i can get you free drinks, shakes, pie, soup or ice cream. just come after 8. and maybe order something from the kitchen too, so it doesn't look totally suspicious.
oh, yeah. going to work on 4 hours of sleep, still kind of hungover and with your period: not so much. i don't think i'll drink at Nick's party, just because i have to work at 7am the next day. and saturday morning is not a good time to be hungover at Perkins.
school! i'm really excited for the start of the semester. my schedule is as follows (every T and Th):
drawing: 11-1
piano:1-2
creative writing: 2-3.30
math: 4-5.30
french: 6-8.30
and that's it. yay 4 day weekend. drawing is going to be amazing. so will piano (are you still taking it, Jenny?). basically i'm pumped for all my classes. even math! i don't like realizing how number-dumb i've become. i'm thinking about being a TA with Bressman Sensei on my off days. maybe. we'll see if i can sacrifice that work time.
other stuff! i'm getting really excited for India. but, traveling with my Grandmother... we'll see. and now, i guess we're going to Brazil in April. that'll be exciting. <3 world!
<3 you! |
