This is Why I Get in Trouble



Sitting here bored out of my mind on a Friday night.  I was off today and I don't have work until tomorrow at 3pm... that would give me plenty of time to be hungover in a hypothetical situation where I was in fact, not sitting here alone and bored on a Friday night.  My mind is slowly starting to go crazy (as it has a tendency to do when I am bored and alone).  I don't know why my mind does this.  If I sit here without company or some serious hands-on activity that keeps me physically active and busy, my mind goes into dark waters.  Like, I start fabricating and imagining all sorts of fucked up scenarios and shit in my head.  It's not healthy.  In all reality, after last weekend and even this past week, I should really be taking it easy, so maybe sitting here bored is a good thing.  I went hard last weekend, and partied two nights in a row.  The fact that I was working all three weekend days on top of my partying did me pretty dirty.  Saturday wasn't so bad (despite the fact that I slept over at my boyfriends and rolled into work wearing his skinny jeans with my six-inch booties- hey, the only alternative was to go in wearing my Axl Rose costume...), and I didn't even need to vomit (if you know me, you also know that that is a SERIOUS accomplishment for me since I'm the queen of barfing ;-) ).  Saturday night took a turn for the worst though.  I ended up going to Highline (I know, I know... I was/am banned, but Chris Brown was supposed to make an appearance so I felt compelled to go), and as per usual got inebriated.  I ended up safe and sound at home (I'm not sure how, since I blacked out in the cab), but somehow passed out so hard that I didn't hear my phone ringing off the hook or even my door bell ringing when my bf got out of work and came over at 4am.  Yikes.  The next day, I woke up by God's good grace (since I had failed to even set an alarm).  I woke up on my couch, wearing my costume, with no blanket, all of the lights on, and 18 missed phone calls.  I felt like shit, as you can imagine.  I don't know what was worse- the hangover (I may have still been drunk actually), or realizing what an asshole I was for passing out without my phone on volume and near my head.  You know if it was the other way around I would have gone psycho and probably climbed a fire escape into his window if it were me waiting for him to open the door.  I threw up multiple times at work, and even when I left work at 8pm, I still felt like shit.  I really wish that sticking with drugs was acceptable behavior because alcohol does me dirty every time.

Welcome to the Jungle 



shortly before I ate an entire 7eleven sheet pizza...

Friday night I am convinced I almost got kidnapped by a fake Uber driver (don't ask) and Saturday I was ready to kill some girl I was referring to as a "fire monkey," so perhaps it's best that I'm taking it easy this weekend (even though as I already mentioned, I'm sitting here bored out of my mind since my niece has gone to bed and I'm watching her).  I celebrated my boyfriend's birthday on Wednesday night and it was awesome... I wish every day could be like that day ;) Sigh.  But alas, we have work, obligations, and can't possibly party all night every day otherwise we would probably not be long for this world.  I am just so happy when I am not working and am planning fun activities and surprises and making stuff... speaking of making stuff- the costumes I made for my niece and her friends turned out pretty awesome.  I won't post pics of the kids (since I don't want to exploit them or affiliate such innocent children with my raucous blog), but here are some snippets of my niece's princess costume:


The crown... my floor is still covered in glitter.  Hell, I'm still covered in glitter... 

The princess gown. 

And the result of my excessive glitter use... I still have glitter on the couch, in the kitchen, in the bathroom, and randomly in my hair/on my body.  It's a real mood lifter now that the days are shorter and the weather is colder.  


I am already starting to get stoked for the Christmas season- the most wonderful time of the year indeed ;) .  I cannot wait to start buying Christmas presents for everyone.  It's crazy, but the older I get, the more excited I am to give presents as opposed to receiving them.  I really pride myself on being a great gift-giver, so I love making other people happy and surprising them with the perfect present.  I also love decorating and all of the festive accoutrements of the holiday season- the lights, the tree, the stockings, the cookies, the wrapping paper, the magic... someone shoot me now.

Despite the fact that I love buying for other people, I still love buying for myself too.  Mami needed a new pair of 7 inch shoes ;)   Nothing lifts a sour mood like prancing around in a pair of underwear and heels blasting Jane's Addiction and drinking coffee like it's going out of style. 


I am supposed to be writing a new article for untitled-magazine on the disappearance of major rock bands, however, I am also supposed to revise my previous article on Tinder, since they didn't like it.  I don't know what to do.  I am completely uninspired and unmotivated by the Tinder article.  FUCK Tinder, it was created by a sexist pig.   I spent an hour reading about other people's Tinder travel experiences.  I even downloaded the Tinder app for all of 15 minutes to see how it worked.  I was repulsed by the variety of gross men that came across my screen on Tinder- they all looked like nerds, freaks, serial killers, and perverts to me.  But maybe that's just me.  I am pretty particular and I don't believe in online dating to begin with, nor do I believe in hooking up/one night stands/meeting fuck buddies online.  Sorry if that's your cup of tea.   I would just prefer to meet my psychos and freaks the old fashioned way ;). It just seems like a really good way to end up getting raped, getting an STD, or getting decapitated by a socially inept person who can't meet women in the real world.  I don't know.  I understand all of these things I mentioned can easily happen with people you meet in a bar or at work or school too (people even get raped or catch STDs from their shitty significant others all the time), but the likelihood of running into a weirdo seems more probable on an online app people use to hook up.  Call me boring, but I believe in meeting people through people you already know, or just in the real world.  I don't even know anyone who has used Tinder in a foreign country personally.  Shit.  Maybe I should just forget this article and write about the disappearance of decent bands.
