alex hi hi
i have been in ny. its been hot, ive been hanging out. things i dont want to go ‘public’ (blog public) with. its this weird stage: i broke up with dustin. we are done. not dating. NOT DATING. but i dont want to write details of what happens after that here, bc i sure as fucking hell would not want to read it from him…
so i have been in ny. maybe 5% depressed. its hot here. the entire rest of my summer, like each day, is planned out until sept. i know its only a month i guess bc today is august, but still. it depresses me. i am whimsical and need to be able to have whimsical actions! but, i am going to greece for a week, and i suppose i can be whimsical there, right, so i should shut my mouth and stop complaining!
um, i just found a part of a pot brownie in my purse, from visiting you. i had wrapped up a little from the party to bring to the bar in case the bar was boring and the lines for drinks were long. and i forgot i had it. and i find it, a week later. after airport security and all that. reminds me of us in amsterdam- we tried so hard to smoke all of it, give it away, you left bunches in the mens room with a note attached, and yet, we come home and we all have some on us, in some form. HA.
your fashion resolve sounds fun. maybe i will end up at burning man. i would want to go with you most of it. i would wear extreme eye make up and love it. hmmm… ideas. loving ideas….
this picture is going to be on the cover of an australlian novel ! cool huh?
by the way, do you read these stats? someone found our blog by searching “naked dance party”. ha. figures.
this picture isnt ! but, i like it
my men’s fashion issue, burning man
s, where have you been these couple days?
anyway – an update on that fashion issue with men i complained to you in la about (that being that men lack any interesting layers and accessories- or can try but come off as pretty unusual, yet a girl has options to the moon for what to wear and how to wear it)
with burning man itching at my skin, with its need to radically self-express to decided to drag shopper-katy with me to american vintage, where you did so well on your visit. (i wasn’t in shopping mood that day)…. for a mere 80 bones i scored an array of vests and uniform shirts and scarves and hippie skirts and shoelaces to dress up in. and with burning man a ways off, i’ve already been sporting a silk tie die scarf turned belt around… guess i just needed a good kick to get into it all. the only tieskirts left are ugly, btw.
ANYWAY….
this…..
alivebegan
um- creating a wikipedia account for my office, so that we can control some of all of that info on there, and my verification code was ‘alivebegan.’
wow.
im in love with it.
never in la.
hi suzy/ny/world
im sitting in sound grounds, a lovely cafe in the southeast neighborhood of portland. all is very beautiful and i always though la was very calm compared to the east coast, but this relaxed little mountain city make la feel like times square. guess what that makes me want to do???
i checked out the japanese gardens and some fancy rooftop restaurants and other than that and a possible trip to some waterfalls today, my friends and i have only stumbled around various bars, restaurants and parks in the neighborhood, getting sloppier and sloppier. and as always, finishing our nights either in a naked dance party or drunk crying over our love for our friends. yawn…
back to la tomorrow, then south carolina on friday…..
in other news, i was drunk-peer-pressured into buying the burning man ticket, and as life always falls into place i felt right seeing that i’ll be chilling in reno by then anyway.
ok, stories and pictures coming soon.
links links links
then soon updates from nyc, i promise.
its fucking POURING rain here. and all i can bring myself to do is cancel all my plans, drink screwdrivers, and reflect. but i will write soon. (ongoing sentence of mine, huh.) and alex, i wanna wanna hear about portland!
anyway: free download of the new girltalk album: http://74.124.198.47/illegal-art.net/__girl__talk___feed__the__anima.ls___/
forbes new report on the mext expensive cities (and nyc is number 22 and LA under that. WHEW the us dollar means NOTHING right now!) http://www.forbes.com/2008/07/23/cities-expensive-world-forbeslife-cx_zg_0724expensivecities.html?feed=rss_popstories
and, for the finale, my friend’s classmate glued himself to the prime minister that other day, as part of a non violent protest concerning energy: http://edition.cnn.com/2008/WORLD/europe/07/23/brown.glue/?iref=mpstoryview#cnnSTCText

dear “back to ny s”
1 – please write more about modeling in la, yes!.
2 – i LOVE that shot my iPhone got of ALL IS. beautiful.
3 – now you know where i am as i write to you. (this moment on the big red couch with breeze going). who else knows it?
4 – we didn’t sit to rewrite the “WHY WE LOVE” – i had it for 2 years, do you want to take over and redo for time being? or we can draft something?! surprise me!
5 – i was just writing an email to someone and i felt unsure of my use of the word “impede”. just couldn’t believe i was using it right, seeing how i can google faster than i can wack off these days, i read immediately away that it was exactly what i thought it was and i used it correctly – i’m going to trust my intellectual instincts more often, i think.
6 – it was wonderful to have you here suzy. wonderful for us to go that far out of our way to live together briefly. especially you, you know i always end up in NY cause the whole life/family draws me to the east coast. otherwise, who knows how often i would come just. for. you. - so thank you. do we publish and discuss those ideas of my friend to sleep together and write our separate experience. can i write about how you were mad that it wasn’t going to happen. well you already mentioned all the almost-orgies. ha. california! there was some skinny dipping in a holiday inn in goleta, ca. tell that to your friends. and i want to know why you have friends that think our blog is between lovers. weird. i’m so glad you saw the short stop bar. its, like, such the place i’d want suzy to see in la. thanks for eating fish and dairy these days with me, and not grimacing when i eat strange, but still healthy meats. sorry my cat was sometimes mean to you, he does it to everyone. we forgot to hike, but you forgot shoes. could have got them at a thrift store. you never saw a movie studio, and didn’t need it. which is good for me. there was smoke and traffic, but at least you’ve been in numerous pools, fields, mountains! was very fun. i want to your pro/con la conversation again, and the photographer’s talk about la rich people. love.
7 – i bought tom’s apricot deoderant today to replace the one i used up. i wish i had kept track of how long that thing last, but my mind doesn’t remember information like that. i might have had that old deoderant 6 months or 2 years. no clue. i guess if i reveal to all that i bought deodorant today, then i can put the date i bought it in stone. (deodorant=7/23)
9 – suzy, be proud your presence inspired so much change and desire and knowledge in me. as you know. it has truly put me in a good mood. usually i get briefly depressed when a long weekend of guests and friends and parties comes to an end. but you just put me in motion to find something and find it now. i might have! thanks for that!
10 – you know we hate numbers/time/and mathematical concepts yet something led me to tell you just 10 things tonight. huh. so anyway, ALL IS ! isn’t it ? i’ll be having my white taco night tomorrow – we’ll be eating the true american taco and drinking beer – hard shell, ground beef, iceberg lettuce and cheddar cheese (pre-shredded)(hey, did you know the word pre-shredded would be hyphenated?), and that orangish taco sauce. delicious! then friday, i’ll be headed to my premiere weekend in portland. i think i will bring my little computer to inspire me to do some writing to everyone. we’ll see, i might be drunk the whole time.
10b. good night.
and in case you miss philly alex:
hahah- i just read this in the philly R5 concert listings i still get:
MILLIONAIRES (teeny attention seeking myspace ladies raping about sex and money. who booked this?)
HYPERCRUSH (more privileged ironic white person rap. they love neon, blogs and animated gifs)
BROKENCYDE (screamy rap by dudes with hair styles. they will probably be scared of philly and hide in their van)
ARRIVAL (an actual real life band – these guys sound like madball compared to the rest of the tour)
back to my ny life- thanks for all the LA, alex
they, those lovely souls at jetblu, let me make the airplane my home in the sky, for a few hours. and then they decided to just kick me off. just like that! tossed my into the depths of jfk, then onto the hot muggy crowded-at-6 am!? nyc transit system. all for the best, i guess, to not pussyfoot around and instead to just get me right back into the swing of things.
as soon as i landed from LA, nyc happened to me like nyc has been happening to me from the start of me being here– offers for modeling gigs, offers for non profit stuff, concerts and then bars and then too late for too long right away. i guess thats why i love it here. or, at least, why i am here. went to see jarvis cocker w jesse and it was really good, and then we went to see him dj at some hip hip place where ultragrrrl and mishapes and all the rest all where. i wanted to dance with 20 year old boys (and girls) all night, but though better of it and left. eventually. before the sun came up at least. this was a tuesday! night! tuesday night in nyc. good GOD.
****************************
LA
i loved it alex. i thank you for showing it to me in an intimate and not tourist way. your friends are sweet sweet and fab and fun. the hollywood bowl is where i want to clock like months of my life. its so perfect there. and it all was just great. santa barbara, casual pot brownies, empy whisky bottles, many talks of many threesomes, hipster bars, modeling in the desert, modeling in the pool of a famous and amazing woman (i will write an entire blog about it later- to recap her summary of rich LA people). i saw the hills, i saw the traffic, i saw the house where you live your days, and i love it all. a dreamlife that could make me cry it would be so awesome– living in the old hollywood hotel you brought me to the roof of. what adventures await. what love would flourish. i mean, really.
i only wish we were all closer. i only wish that bullet train that sends us across the country in three hours to each other existed. i miss you already! but come live w me in nyc, before leahs wedding.
suzy you are in the hollywood hills
but i am back on the couch and its like any other day except tonight i will see you again and we will go to santa barbara and be merry. i think i might walk over the echo park farmer’s market today so we don’t have to rush tomorrow. im very excited for everything, tonight, saturday, sunday… LIFE!
i really like the photographer you are working for right now. because of you and her i’m home online talking to my portland friends and looking at the culinary schools up there. look how fast life can change. my stomach gets all giddy at that thought and i haven’t felt that in a while. not since i knew after school i’d be out west. and back in school?
portland!
and i was thinking, i’ve i settle in portland our stories here will be skewed. you can’t stay in nyc you have to move somewhere smaller and as obscure - Savannah? haha.
change the world!
(new york/la – they don’t need us)
PORTLAND!
