Aiden's journals

This weekend was really weird. Thursday or Friday the Santa Anas started ripping through the area, causing the temperature to jump almost twenty degrees from where it had been the previous week and dried everything out. I got mildly pissed because the dry air makes my hair do funny thing and no matter what I do to style it, I always ended up looking like a poof ball after twenty minutes. Though it did make it absolutely gorgeous Friday afternoon when we went out to eat. You could actually see the hills surrounding us in perfect detail, which is so rare for LA.

Saturday shit hit the fan. When I went in to work that morning the sky was clear and beautiful. I found out when I stopped off at the liquor store for a pack and a red bull that there were fires burning in Hollywood and Laguna. Later that night I found out that the Anehiem hills were also on fire. It is fire season but as I rarely pay attention to the news I didn't know that it had started again. When I got out at 2pm it was black with smoke and the sun was burning red in the sky. It was surreal. Then just as i was getting on the 405 to go home it started pouring ash and burnt debris from the sky. It reminded me of a scene from Silent Hill. It was ever creepier that no one seemed to do more than note that it was happening then continued zipping down the freeway in their usual rush to get where ever. I'm working on a poem about the experience but haven’t even gotten full first draft done yet. I'm still in a state of awe.




Today has been the first day that I can see the sky again. Sunday wasn't nearly as bad as Saturday but the sky was still this weird shade of brown and cast an eerie orange glow on everything. I also heard on Saturday that we are to expect the next big earthquake with in the next three months. They have been saying to expect one ever since I moved south three years ago, so I'm not putting any stock in the claim. It happens when it happens and all we can do is be prepared for it when it does.

I was watching the Cycle 11 America's Next Top Model marathon on MTV yesterday. My little sister auditioned for the show and after having watched it she and I are both glad she wasn't picked to be on it. I have never seen so much constant drama go down in every episode. But I had a point. While watching the episode where their shoot was natural disasters of LA I had a realization. You HAVE to be absolutely bat shit crazy to live in this area, like it, and live a relatively normal life. I can't properly explain it. It's just really bizarre to me that we put up with everything and hardly bat an eye.

I was going to post abut something else entirely but I guess I got side tracked. Oh well. Later tonight then. Don't want to bore you all with more text.

I loved the sets that went live today!!! a) because I want to molest Charlie's pussy and b) The behind the scenes look was amazing! Feeling like I was seeing the aspects that I'm not really supossed to made the whole experience so hot.

In other news, school has been sucking me dry lately. All I do is go to classes, come home and do homework or write a million papers or prepare presentations.  And though all I do is school shite I still feel like I'm falling behind and rushing tgo get everything done the night before. Friday is going to be such a welcomed break from the monotony.

I finally have my costume almost finished!!! All I have left to do is make a thigh strapped gun holster, I'm putting an orange water pistol in there so there will be no incidents, and I'm done! It is looking so awesome so far. My excitement for Friday is only waned a little because all my reallife friends decided to slack off or lie to me about buying their tickets and now they are all sold out. It sucks to be them but I would have really liked them to come and enjoy the festivities. I am however looking forward to meeting everyone who is going and seeing my lovers again.

I've been doing some serious lurking this week. It was for the best, no one wants to even try to deal with me when I'm PMSing as bad as I was. But to make it all better, for both me and my raging sweet-tooth and geoff who was being patient with me, I decided to make this:


It is a red velvet cake and one of my new favorites to make! I think it's mostly the cream cheese frosting. mmmm........I have a problem.

I've also been buying myself some goodies this week. They include:
- a fixed bead 16g lip ring since I put too much torque on the metal on my old one from having to take it out so often this past two months. Unfortunately the website lied to me, or I wasn't paying as much attention as I thought I was, and the internal diameter was far far too big. I still have to send it back.

-I bought geoff and poster print of a certain picture he has been harrassing me about getting made for him. Pretty?

It is supossed to be here on the 22. I'm kinda excited to see myself in poster size and well, on the wall.

-I finished buying all the fabric to make my costume for halloween and have started putting it together. I just have to decide on which wig I want to buy.
  
The longer one is more accurate but the curly one is a little cheaper and still works. I want it to be perfect but then it's just a halloween costume and I really shouldn't be that anal.

-and Finally I bought myself one of the new GG shirts.

I still have my three shirts from 2005 AND the pair of underwear that I'm pretty sure came off Toryn at the Halloween Party that year. Be aware that I am not wearing any makeup except what didn't feel like coming off in the bath/shower this morning. A certain someone, well someones, were curious as to why I needed to put on make-up to go to a movie last night. This is why.

Speaking of movies, we went to see Max Payne last night. It was alright. The cinematography was really great in places but the whole thing had this sort of feel that was a cross between Sin City and Constantine. The thing that threw me the most was Mila Kunis speaking Russian in the first part of the movie and then just talking like she normally does after. I know it's a minor detail and larger things that I could realy pick on but it irritated me.
