Somebody's watching you.

It's FIVE O CLOCK. Got it? 5. Five in the evening. The sun isn't even gone yet, and guess who just knocked on my door? Yep. Music Hating Eric. Too loud. It's EARLY. What the fuck...what. the. fuck.
Oh, then he tells me to have a happy new year. Yeah, real happy happy with the rock gestapo upstairs.
I can only imagine how this evening will end up....

but here is a list of things that the night might include:

me
alcohol
fireworks
mustard
toilet paper
underwear
PUNK ROCK
silver spraypaint
white clown make-up
eggs
bologna
eric's door
eric's mailbox
eric's car
eric
spit
pee

weeHA!

Tonight was the first night I've been back to my church, aka 1st Avenue, since it was closed down. Undeniably cathartic. Just when all hope was lost for me, I entered again, and felt that same responsive welcoming that I have come to love and appreciate. What was that song? Something about a big yellow taxi, and not knowing what you got til it's gone? Something or other...But I felt it.
2 dolla PBR, and a shitload of awkward hellos to people I really didn't want to speak to. Dirty wet unisex bathroom, pipes aplenty in the basement, and tripping over the freakishly misplaced steps. I was HOME.

I can't wait to wake up smelling like beer, puke, smoke, sweat, and indie rock boys.

if I could bottle it, I would.

Electric Blood Bus Field Trip!

I have electric shocks in my brain. Normally, I would just deal with it. But tomorrow I have to drive the Blood Bus to the Children's Hospital...Those poor, sick kids...
I can't believe I have to be in bed by EIGHT PM!

crrrrryyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy.


oh, and today I found out that I am indefinitely deferred to give blood. FUCK.

whatever. goodnight.

Holla Back!

xxx-mas is OVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Friday, December 24, 2004

I was drug out of my apartment and forced to see the "Odious One".
The great red ape was in it's most haunting holiday finery. Orange tank top, tapered denim, and trusty Sorels.
As I entered it's abode, it came lumbering down the stairs and tugged one of my pigtails. Unamused already.
As the night proceeded, I loosened up more around it's foreboding presence and attempted to make some sort of communique. No avail. It only understood random words, and replied back with spurious retorts of thongs and woodsheds. After a good wholesome game of Who What Where When, I decided it was time to depart, and bid the Odious One farewell....
The moment I stepped inside, I poured myself a drink, turned on the information box, and typed this.
I can't remember much of being at my uncle's house this evening, but I now know what I must do; Join A Union.

In Memory of Jon Cherewan....

I think I'll stay home today and listen to Squirrel Bait, have some Sailor Jerry spiced rum, and crawl over to the cemetery.

Merry Whatever.

Teenage Phlebotomy

I'm too weary to explain how defeating the learning process of blood banking is.
I'm just spent. Part of it is that I'm used to going to bed at 6am, and not waking up then. And I've met too many woman of the ages 25 and under who are completely unhappy because they choose to live their lives as dilapidated old rags who look like leather muppets.
Bah...

So, to cheer my self up, here's a list of my white hot crushes for the week of Dec. 20 -Dec. 26

1. Jason Bateman. If you would have told me 10 years ago that I would be addicted to a television show with him as the star, I would have spit beer all over your crotch. Now he's radioactive sexualness.

2. Jimmy Fallon. Fuck you. We're getting married.

3. Macaulay Culkin. Pasty delight.

4. Val Kilmer when he was in Tombstone. I just saw it for the first time, and he can totally be my Huckleberry. But only from that movie, otherwise he can fuck off. I heart dirty cowboys.

5. The boy with the lip ring at Video Stardom. I'd rent Anger Management just have him check me out. But he's not allowed to speak. After talking to him for 2 minutes at a time, 3 times a week, I've decided he's a total idiot.

Sunday, December 19, 2004

Remember that band Shelleyan Orphan? Early 90's, male/female vocals, songs about meditating, exotic fruits, and sex in strange places in front of strange people? Art school girls in velvet outfits loved them? Yeah, I didn't think so.
Well, they're making my day livable right now.

I broke a window in my apartment today. I'd like to tell you that is was purely accidental. I'd like to do a lot of things.
Fuck. I don't know if I have female inconvenience, or if it's worrying about my
new job, or if I just plain lost my shit, but my Sunday isn't going as smoothly as a Wicked Girl's should.

Sundays at the Warehouse were nice.....

The Replacements need to find a job, now.

I GOT IT! I am now officially employed. I still can't believe it... After 8 months of not having steady work, I'm going to have 8 hour days again. Shit, I guess this means no hanging out in my jammies until 9pm, then going out and having unsuspecting punk boys buying me Pabst all night.. Wait! Now I can buy my own beer. Aww..Double shit!

No, for real I am sooperdooperexcitedtothemax to start my training as a PHLEBOTOMIST. I'll get to wear scrubs, and not worry if I'm BizCas enough, cuz I really don't own anything that hasn't been modified with rips, spray-paint, safety pins, and hardcore patches.
I'll basically be playing with other peoples blood all day. Perfect job for a 13 year old boy trapped in a 24 year old girl's body.
Yeah, I love blood, guts, comics, cartoons, porn, video games, poop jokes, beer, worms, lizards, dinosaurs, legos, punk rock, gummy bears, dirt, horror, Danzig, skateboards, and sneaking out windows.
But I won't tell the donors that. I will be on my bestest most professional behavior......yep.
So be happy for me. I'm on my way to being kinda responsible.


I need a God damn job
I need a God damn job
I really need a God damn job
I need a God damn job

God dammit
God dammit
God damn, I need a God damn job

I need a God damn girl
I need a God damn girl
I really need a God damn girl
I need a God damn girl

God dammit
God dammit

God damn, I need a God damn job
Right now right now

An honest job, if I can find one



No thanks, Tommy! I got one!

Please pass the Midol.

In order to keep me from screaming this week, I will need a supply of chocolate covered cherries, a stack of fashion magazines, pineapple-orange-banana juice, a new shade of MAC lipglass, a box of regular absorbency Tampax, and Netflix.

Sometimes being a girl can be a grave illustration. Picture turning into a totally different person for 4-8 days every month. A teary, angry, in pain, emotional, undesirable ( only in my head, I hope..), bloaty, bloody, monster.
Sound gross? Fuck you. The underestimated ladies know what I'm talking about. But the boys? Deal with it. "We're here, we menses, we can't control our senses."
Chant that.

I've read all sorts of shit on the female reproductive system, and scientifically I get it. But I will never understand how two little ovaries can take total control over my brain.
Take this example of how irrational those pulsating freaks make me.
I'm out of cigarettes. No big deal, right? Then how come I want to lay on the couch with my stuffed unicorn and cry about it? Well, enough is enough. I'm on strike. You hear that, body? I'm not gonna do it. I'm not going to participate in your little monthly ritual any more. You just stay right where you are, eggs. And I don't wanna hear another goddamn word out of you. You make me sick.

Does anyone have a copy of Hysterectomy For Dummies?

Flush.

I scored a second interview! I cannot believe it. For a girl who was once told, "you are completely unhirable," I have a chance at an honest to goodness, no more blowing midgets for David Lynch to watch, JOB. No shit.
BUT.........There is a catch.....
Today's interview was an over-the-phone half our deal. Yeah.
Tomorrow, they actually have to meet me.
I don't know how that will go over. Cover up the sick tats, take out the face rings, comb my hair, remember to not swear, (I have a pretty goddamn dirty mouth), and act like a normal, civil human.

Ok. Great. Now I have diarrhea again.

Tuesday, December 14, 2004

Wish me luck on my job interview tomorrow...I am SO scared.
I've had diarrhea all day.

I think I'll go eat some cheese.

Go Rebels!

I have been having a lot of dreams about being in high school again, the one place I don't ever want to go back to.
So, I'm going to try and stop these nightmares by thinking about the old days.

some things I would change if I ever had to re-live 9th grade.

1. I would have smoked way less grass.
2. I wouldn't have had such a lousy, controlling, crazy boyfriend.
3. I would have made more girl-friends.
4. I would have been more determined and pried ALL my braces off with the screwdriver, and not just 2 or 3.
5. I would have worked harder to save Comedy Sports from being cancelled. (we were REALLY funny....Yeah, funny like Mary-Kate slicing herself...)
6. I would have stood up for myself WAY more. Being a green mohawked teenager with huge pants and braces is really rough, I got pushed into so many lockers, and thrown into so many boys bathrooms....But those kids got theirs, when I was a senior...They were sorry then, and they'll be sorry at the reunion.
7. I probably should have run away when I had the chance.
8. When my lab partner wrote KKK on her notebook, I should have punched her face really hard
9. Do not drop acid 1st period. I swear it will fuck up your whole day.
10. When your parents ask what you did over the weekend, you lie, lie, lie. Or they'll never let you out again.

I'm bored with this.

Sunday, December 12, 2004

Jeez....i was angry!

no smileys. not today, or ever.

i am really sick and tired of pretending to like people, for other people... i'm not going to do it anymore.
the next time a friend or realtive says, "oh, please be nice to her/him, for me..." i will refuse.
i'm sick of putting on the fake smile for undeserving assholes.
it will never happen again.
....deal with it.

Friday, December 10, 2004

Thanks, Liz.

There are so many things I would do differently if I were to ever go back to 7th
grade.

1. When Dan Stromberg signed my yearbook with "leave me alone", instead of crying, I would have broken his glasses.
2. When Maren told me that "real girls don't wear skulls," I would tell her that real girls aren't catty rotten bitches.
3. When I had that very first Newport in my fingers, I would have pitched it out the window and never looked back.
4. I would have not cheated on my piano lessons.
5. I would have totally taken pictures of the burning pentagram in the field across the street.
6. I would not have been so mean to Ian. When I think back, he probably the coolest kid in my class. (even if he did name his cockateil Maria...weird..)
7. I would have used tampons, and not those huge awful diaper pads, and made that embarrassing mistake in gym class.
8. I would have gone to Northtown much much less and got a better hobby.
9. I got kicked out of choir because my teacher told me I had the "attention span of a gnat." that, I do not regret.
10. I would have rented House Party 1,800 times, instead of only 1,523.

next time, 9th grade...Lookout.

Anything can happen in 1 block.

How come every time I walk down the street alone some rotting beef carcass of a man thinks it's his right to hassle me? I can't go anywhere without hearing, "Hey baby, what yo name?", or "Hey hey, come over here, I wanna talk to you." Godddamnit. Why would I tell you my name? What difference would that ever make? Why would I walk over to your car full of other equally sweaty pervy man-tools? Oh, I know why. So you can humiliate me, take my purse, and if I'm really lucky, maybe a gang rape? Ok...Don't move! I'll be right there.
Motherfuckers.
Where did human decency go? What benefit do these kinds of people think they gain by harassing women in the streets? Is it funny? Do they enjoy making other people feel scared and uncomfortable? If that's the case, put them in a rocket and shoot it to the sun.
I'm so angry right now, I don't even know how to wrap this up.
Leave people alone. If you don't know the person, or it's not an emergency, let them be. Let ME be.
Is this what the world is like now? Is fear an everyday feeling? I shouldn't have to feel scared everytime I leave the house because I am a small woman waiting for the Big Bad Wolf Pervert lurking around every dumpster and street light.
I think I will invest in full body armor. Or a female wrestler bodyguard. But should I really have to? I know this whole rant has been done before, but I'm getting really sick of it in my neighborhood. I really just wanted to get wicked pissed for a moment, and I did. So....what now?
Well, I guess I can be sooperdoopertothemax pleased that Ann the Man With a Football in Her Hand got kicked off America's Next Top Model tonight. What a relief. Now all they have to do is give that pompus sorry ass beenaanitch Yaya the boot.
Lord love a duck, look at what I'm saying....I should know better than to indulge myself in this teenage wreckage, but I just can't help myself. I'm hooked. I guess it's better than $500 on heroin everyday. Right? Right?
meh.

I said MEH.

Sunday Vertigo.

I am in a snit.

I formed a "mix-tape" committee with a group of people and I'm nervous that nobody will like my cassette.
Basically, we pick a theme, like, songs that have the word goat in them, or something, then we all make a mix tape/cd about it, then we mail them to eachother, listen, pick a winner, then they pick the next theme...
it's pretty genius.
but I really like and respect these people. For one, they are wicked cool, and super smart, and I don't want them to think I'm a total suck because my tape is lame.
I just know when I get theirs in the mail, I'm gonna be like, "shit, I AM a buttpipe." I know it. So now I'm frantically trying to get all mine finished in the next day or to get them in the mail. I still need good cover art, track lists, fucking envelopes, and I need to find a post office. I haven't been to a post office in years... I'm not sure if I'll know how to work one. (by the by...Walter Schreifels : UnitedByWalter.com : Msg Board - Excoboard.com UBW forever!)
Bah... I get worked up over the stupidest things. I can't help it. No wonder my ulcer is the size of Lydon's head. (that's big.) I think I might need a backyotomy, too.

I'm spazzing over this tape shit all night, for many nights in a row, as I stare at my insurance bill all enveloped up and stamped and ready to go,JUST SITTING THERE. What's wrong with me? All I have to do is put it in the mailbox, and I can't even manage to do that. 3 seconds. That's all it would take, and I don't do it.
it's almost like I refuse.


think about that.

"Yes, I invented the whole bisexual movement, you asshole."

I wish I could tell all of you what I did last night. I really do....The fact that I look like Courtney Love after a good night of Ludes, fistfights, stripping in the streets and needles full of whiskey for sure means that I had a shit ton of fun. Not to mention, this strange smell of fire, beer, gay men, pink martinis, and the Marlboro Man's ashtray emitting from my head.
When I got home this afternoon, I found a package of cookies in my tiger-print backpack, and the brand-name was Maria. That's me. That's weird.
OH! Yes, it's coming back to me.....It was a birthday party! (Happy Birthday Jason! I'm sorry you had to clean up after all of us flailing jerks. I offered to help, but I think I was making it worse by every step I took dragging queesche (sp?) across your beautiful rugs......shit. Thanks for letting me pass out in the Blue Room.)

as if he's gonna read this....

ok, I can't do this today.
I have to wash the stink off, take a nap, and be up in time to watch Arrested Development. Best Show Ever.

no bright lights or loud noises please....

Music Hating Chest Hair.

As I know I've mentioned before, I like to rock. Hard. But I live in an apartment, so rocking to my full potential can be difficult. Especially when you have Music Hating Chest Hair(MHCH)* living right above you. Let me tell you a bit about MHCH...He's a physical trainer, with Michael Landon hair, and wears women's work-out pants with flowers on them.
The first time I met him he got all philosophical religiony on me, for NO reason at all while he was showing me the new light fixtures he just put in, like I gave a fuck. I only went up there, cuz my friends used to live in that apartment, and I wanted to know if my chili powder was still there. (it wasn't)
He proceeds to tell me how smart he is, and how he can straighten my spine, and show see some neato excersizes. Totally gross.
So, from that point on, I avoid him like i avoid the dead that feeds on the living in my basement.

but now, about 3-5 times a week, he comes downstairs to tell me to "TURN IT DOWN...my bedroom is right above you, you know..." and never wears a shirt. ever.
He comes busting in thrusting his slimey chest hair all over the place, then lingers in the door when i apologize, like some kind of perv-o-matic.

I rarely crank my system to Manowar volume late at night just avoid the brain surgeon/jesus weirdo/haircut 100 from harassing me, but it's like he has all phenomenal super-hearing....I bet he can hear my keyboard clicking right now...
He came down last night, and made me turn down 12 Rods, at like, 9pm. what a suck.
but that's not the worst part.....Still no shirt, but this time he was brandishing a newly WAXED, slimey, slithery chest! El Vomito. El Barfo.
As he floated back upstairs, i noticed my laundry had been taken out of the dryer, and put in the basket, and HIS laundry was there now. I HAD UNDERS IN THAT LOAD AND MHCH, now minus the chest hair, TOUCHED IT.
God, i hate him. the NERVE! If he could come all the way down here to bitch about my good taste in not so loud music, he could have also asked me to move MY OWN laundry.
Is that creepy? yeah. duh.

I will now devote all my time devising plans to get him to move out of here, and into some sort of mental institution.

I have some fucked up neighbors, but I would much rather listen to my upstairs and to the right neighbor, Roberto puking outside on the sidewalk every single morning for the past 2 years at 5am, then have to look at the waxed supergenious ever again.


*name has been changed, cuz i bet he knows what his real name sounds like when it's typed too loud.

Bring moneys and a towel.

I don't sleep at night. I sleep during the day. I can't explain how my schedule got so fucked, but that's how it's been for awhile now.
So, when everything is closed, except laundry mats and grocery stores full of pervs, what do I do? I can't even go out for a walk, because we all know that's when the scaries come out. I'd surely get kidnapped and cut up into 6 big pieces to be found all over rural Minnesota a year later, then everyone would say, "what was she doing out at night by herself anyways?" See? Dumb.

I think I want to start my own business. It will only be open from 2am to 10am.
I'm gonna call it The Coolest Fucking Place On Earth. Or something else proclaiming it's radness....
It will be a record store, a good one, not a Camelot piece of doomy crap, a book and comic store, no miniatures or Magik games, if I don't understand it, no one can have it, of course a coffee shop will be in there, with good snacks, not stale biscotti, and hard dry stupid scones.
I think it will have a waterslide. Not a boring one like at Mild Mountain, one that's super fast and twisty and splashy and really high. Yeah. A waterslide. (no, I don't smoke pot, but holy shit, it sure looks like it...)

Then I will have something to do while all my friends are asleep. I think I'll have a guest list for the door to make sure no sucks sneak in.
Oh, and of course, I'LL BE THE BOSS. This is gonna be great.

If you want to be on the guest list, or work for me, send me an essay on why you think you're good enough to
bloodyidol@hotmail.com

thank you. not yet goodnight.

I brake for untalented bass lines!

Mother of shit, I love punk rock shows! Not the shitty ones in huge clubs with a billion kids in matching NOFX shirts and colored studded plastic belts, but the tiny illicit secret punk shows where the hair is colored like melted crayons, and as pointy as Gumby's head. The punk rock shows where everyone has their own thermos of a deliciously fucked up alcoholic punch. Pabst, strawberry champagne, rum, orange juice, and a little bit of everyones spit for good measure cuz real punkers love to share!

i love coming home totally spent and covered in sweat and beer and dirt from flailing so goddamn hard, you'd think the floor was my best buddy.
I don't even mind the ringing in my ears anymore, it's just a reminder that i love drum solos, and people screaming "I DON'T WANNA I DON'T WANNA!" in my ears....oh, and don't get me started on the smell.
Fuck, if i could bottle that basement show smell of sweat, beer, b.o., leather, and hairspray, i'd wear it everyday with hardcorepunkrollandroll pride!

People just don't appreciate smelly united chaos anymore. You never forget your first choreographed stage dive to a Misfits cover........

i don't ever ever neverest wanna be a grown-up.
