I fought the law and the law won.
It looks like my bad driving habits have finally caught up to me. No, I refuse to believe that. I'm a good driver.
But the goddamn cops in Pasadena are trying to meet their quota because it's the end of the month. Yeah. After I got my ticket, I realized that the guy behind me also got pulled over by a cop as well as a guy across the street, as well as another guy across the other street. Wrong place at the wrong time to follow too closely. Too bad I don't drive like grandma.
I want to punch that cop in the face. Just because you want to look good, you have to make me pay a fine and go to traffic school when all I was trying to do is shop in Old Town. Besides, everyone fucking speeds, everyone fucking follows close.
I'm angry right now. But don't worry, I'm not usually like this. It's just... two tickets this summer. I need to take more care with the whole driving thing.

Equilibrium
All is well again. I have successfully established equilibrium.
Hold on tight because everything as I know it is about to change. I'm moving out on Saturday. I've waited many, many years for this day to come. Quelle heureusement!
Tomorrow's Teera's birthday. Turns out we're not going to the strip club. But it should be fun nonetheless. I have to get shopping for ducky. Then I have to patch things up. There is now a whole situation that I accidentally created. I won't get into details but I really don't know how to handle this. Need to talk to Teera.
Looks like I'm going to Thursday in San Francisco next month. I'm looking forward to that, very much so.

Dire Consequence
sing me a song: The Faint's "Agenda Suicide"
I had a lot of trouble getting to sleep last night. I did that whole layinginbedstaringattheceiling routine for many hours. There's just too many thoughts going through my head. I'm really confused. I don't know what I'm doing and I'm worrying myself sick. Everything is foggy.
I'm just terrified of what's happening to me.
I don't know if I'm making the right choices or just ruining everything. I'm trying to let it all go. He knew me pretty well and could always fix me and make it better. He moved to Santa Cruz.
I've hardly talked to him since he left. He hasn't called. I guess things must be going pretty well for him. That's fine, you know, whatever, enjoy yourself. But let's focus on me, here. I'm trying not to be pathetic, old high school girlfriend. Forget me not?
"Sing me a song, Stitch."
"Ohana."
"No. Tell me a joke, Stitch."
"I love you."
I like all stuffed animals that are already in love with you, unconditionally. I didn't even have to buy it and it loved me. I might just buy it. I'd kill for some good, old "I love you"s.

You again?
Today I went thrifting on Melrose with Demetra. It was a lot of time spent with no fruits. No fruits, you say? I was too tired to go down every aisle and hunt for all the goods that would actually fit me right. Thrifting can be such a job. I just wanted to go to a large chain store where they have your size and 10 items in each style. So we went to The Grove. Nothing.
It was nice seeing her again. For a while I thought we were through. But I should have known better. She's my fellow gang member. I might see her on Friday again. We should be going to a strip club for my last night in town / Teera's 18th birthday. W00t!
The week isn't going fast enough.

It does feel good on the whole.
My mom let me stay out later tonight. I left the house much later than she usually allows and came home much later as well. This is strange and must be a combination of Robert being gone / Teera and Jenni being home / one week left until I'm in college. I'm not complaining.
Harry's is underrated. Family dining is fun again. I love this picture. You should have seen the vicadin one but it was carefully deleted without my knowledge. Breakfast is *on* tomorrow.
I'm quite proud of my newest creation for Jenni. Catcatcat! Je suis un chat!
Spent some time tonight witnessing painful acts. Laurence got the old lip and eyebrow pierced. Armand got his tattoo(which looks fucking awesome if I may say so myself.) Teera got her cartilage pierced. Armand's was the most entertaining and had the best result. Go Armand. It's quite strange having my friends back home from college when I haven't even gotten started with that whole business yet. But it's very nice seeing them again, ++ the whole crew. Especially now that I've been feeling a little lonely.
