I am currently laying in bed with my head propped slightly upwards and I'm trying to stay still. Today at school, I went to get out of the car and instantly started to have pain in my lower back. It's gotten worse over the course of the day, and I might not be able to go to school tomorrow because of it. My boyfriend can even hear it crack as I fight to get up to go to the bathroom, in pain, of course.

Update soon.

I originally created this blog so I can stay in contact with some cool folks that live everywhere but here (Pacific NW), and also to keep in touch with those that live only a few short miles away, but yet because of various types of adult responsibility, we never get to see each other.

In the general sense, I wanted to share my wild, wacky stories that I've heard, seen, or been a part of within my 24 years of living on this planet.

Maybe this blog is instead a good representation of my life as it is today and how I'm fighting for sanity, for health, and for the overall passion of living an exciting life.

I am glad that I have this opportunity to share a bit of myself with anyone who reads the words I type. Communication is key for a life that is fulfilling, or at least that's what I think.

I apologize about my absence, but until only recently, I've been swamped with work for school. Fortunately, now I have time to rest, breath deeply, and relax, even if it might just be for a second!

Hmmm... what has been going on???

(1) I got an invitation from school to join their honors society (Phi Beta Kappa)

(2) Paris Hilton is going to jail... and who said that hell wouldn't freeze over?

(3) Moving back to Seattle in about a month, give or take

(4) I rode my bike yesterday 10 miles w/o bike shorts (which are padded in special places), but yet I feel fine somehow, other than my sunburn on my shoulders, upper back, and middle of my chest

(5) Went to Mt. Rainier with Shawn the other day. I have a few pictures of that and the Street Dogs show we went to that I've been meaning to upload onto my computer, so a few should make it up here

(6) Despite taking allergy medicine, I my allergies are still kicking my ass and it sucks big time

That's it for now folks!

Someone may find some humor in this.

Of course, yesterday was May Day. I went about my day as usual, school, homework, pick up Shawn downtown. On the way back home, things changed. Around 4PM, a rally started to walk down Capitol. What attracted me was the red flags and black flags that were being waived. For those who don't know, red represents socialism and black represents anarchism.

Let me get to the good part...

Shawn and I parked at the Bike Stand (because with Shawn's personal connections to the place, it's highly unlikely that we were to get towed) and we rushed to hook up with the demonstrators. Along the way, we're waiting at a stoplight when I notice my outfit. I had on a black shirt with a red sweater-like jacket over it, which match with the colors of the previously mentioned flags. When I told Shawn, we both found humor in it, and continued on to the demonstration. (which you can probably read about in the south sound's Olympian)

As mayday is about to approach, my memory goes back to the Haymarket Riots in Chicago, which will also have an anniversary on May 4th.

Never forget... fuck those bourgeoisie bastards that took the lives of the innocent just because they didn't agree with them. Also, let this be a time to remember the importance of UNIONS, which aren't doing as good these days as they have done in the past. It's up to US to restore the power and benefits that they once had.

Viva la resistance!!!

Remembering the Haymarket Riots

Shawn and I are about two months away from moving back to Seattle and trust me, I couldn't be happier. I am NOT an Olympia fan because it doesn't offer me in general what I am used to. This includes things that I had when I lived in Chicago, but yet it also includes Washington DC, Virginia Beach, and Phoenix (which I miss all these dearly at times because of the unique things in general that all these places had to offer). I have made no friends out here in Oly in about a year, and I also am not a fan of the conservatives that live in the area, despite the fact that there are many liberals as well. I actually believe that the conservatives ruin "it" for everyone, whatever "it" may be.

I must say the liberals kick ass at times and that's a trait of Olympia that tends to be a positive one.

THINGS I WILL NOT MISS IN OLYMPIA WHEN I MOVE:
-Olympia PD and the various politicians who are responsible for the whole deal with Camp Quixote
-Conservative fucks
-Fort Lewis/Camp Murray/McChord Air Force Base
-Having the sticks within a 10 minute drive from my house
-Bayview/Ralph's Thriftway
-Capitol Mall (Westfield)
-The Eastside Tavern
-Clubside Cafe
-The Olympian
-The anti-Watada protesters and their USA flag-covered leather jackets (contradiction!!!!)
-Orca Books
-Our weird white trash/gang banger wannabe neighbors
-etc.

THINGS I WILL MISS IN OLYMPIA WHEN I MOVE:
-SPSCC and their mostly excellent staff
-Sage/Orion and their respective parents (with the exception of Holly, of course)
-Our neighbor's two kids, Taylor and Haley (very beautiful, intelligent child, no doubt)
-Archibald Sisters (kick ass place!!!!)
-The Bike Stand and Shawn's parents
-Tumwater Falls/the mansion by the brewery
-Skateland Olympia
-Westside Lanes
-Ben Moore's (GREAT Saturday breakfast)
-Otto's
-Angel's Thai Restaurant
-etc.

A grandma in New Zealand found a green condom in a McDonald's Happy Meal, according to Comcast.net .

Why you shouldn't feed your kids Happy Meals in the first place

Hey, it could have been worse. My ex told me his experience as a child in the southwest side of Chicago. Back in the day when people still shopped at Ford City Mall, his mom and aunt ordered him a burger at some restaurant that no longer exist.
