cataclysm's journals

I got home last night. The trip was a blast. I'll be back all over here in the next few days and will be armed with a rather large photo journal with some video excerpts of my vacation.

Stay tuned. I have to catch up on some sets first.... hehe. It's sexy time.

From "magic vagina" to "epic hair". That's not to say that my vagina is no longer magical. Quite the contrary, actually. But my hair has now taken over as an entitiy all its own. I'm quite certain a small animal could live in there for quite some time unbenownst to me. See below.




So GG got back to me and it was a "no". Sorry everyone; You know how much I'd love to get nude for you all. :) I figure Julene and Annaliese just haven't yet grasped my capacity for AWESOME. I'm going to start a revolt. Long live the revolution!! Aww, in truth, I have lots of warm fuzzy feelings towards the GG staff and I'm sure they had valid reasons. :)

The really big news of the day is that I COMPLETED MY BACHELOR'S DEGREE YESTERDAY!!!! I walk grad tomorrow. It is held in a giant stadium/arena thing so PSU students have developed this kind of cute informal tradition of decorating the top of their caps so your fam and friends can actually spot you from the seats above. I went a little crazy on my cap this morning to celebrate my liberation:



So I'm not sure how much I'll be around for the next couple of weeks. I'm leaving town for a while to fuck around and relax, and I've also started doing volunteering again  with the Sexual Minority Youth Center I've worked with in the past so thing are a touch crazy right now.

With that, here's my butt:

My scorpions are growing up!!!


So is Jambi, my indian ornamental tarantula.


If you recall, when I got him, he looked like this:


If you read the boards I'm sure you've heard by now that I applied to GG. It's been about a week I think now, so I'll let you all know sooner or later what the verdict is. My new 8.0 megapixel camera should arrive in a few days, which is a major improvement on my shitty 4.1. If I get in, I will buy myself this "Gorillapod" with which to aid in taking some smashing DIYs:

Here is a random photo I found of myself while cleaning out folders:


I graduate in 2 weeks now. Life is beautiful.

Much love.

I haven't updated much recently. Things have been busy. Such is life. I'm way behind on set comments too. Sorry ladies, I still love you and I'm getting there. <3

I saw Kids in the Hall live last weekend which was fall-out-of-theatre-chair-funny. In case you don't already know, I'm a massive fan of sketch comedy in general, but the Kids are top notch. I tried to buy a "Girl Drink Drunk" shirt, but by the time I got back from the ATM, there was only one left and it was in x-large. I'm tiny size, so my husband got it instead. Fucker. J/K. :) I got a "carfuckers" tshirt which was almost as amusing.

I got about 8-9 more hours of tattoo work done on my ribs too over the weekend. There is still a lot of work to be done, but at least it's at a stage now where I don't mind people seeing it. So once I'm healed up I'll get that GG application in like I promised.

Things are pretty sweet right now. Stressful, but good. I graduate with my bachelor's degree in 4 weeks, and I have a nice Cali trip with a big wedding/graduation party planned immediately afterwards which will include a stay in a BEAUTIFUL hotel in Santa Cruz w/ my man. It's an awesome room that has a private deck and hot tub!!!

I'm making some really good progress with my physical fitness level, which is making me feel good. My strength and endurance has definately increased in the couple months so yay! I have a friend who is interested in buying one of my Nissans, so if that works out that will buy me my mountain bike which should help me stay healthy this summer. Good times.

Hope you all are well.

I met GG Meg last night and her roomie Lucyfer. They're both goddamn adorable. We got drunk and there is a good chance that I made an ass of myself doing karyoke. Good times.

As I sit here evaluating seemingly endless papers as a part of my teaching assistant position, I am suddenly gaining a whole new respect for the monotony of grading that my own teachers go through. I vow to no longer get pissy when my papers are not returned quickly.

That is all for now. Back to the grind.

My scorpion is a mother! She is now carrying her three young on her back until they are capable on their own, after a gestation period of nine months.

Check it out:

Haha. I love saying that.

But really, I focus a lot on bettering myself in lots of ways. I love to push myself to acheive high levels of physical fitness and intellectual attainment; develop new skills and interests.

Currently, I'm working on increasing my flexibility (which is a touch ridiculous really because i'm already Gumby) and this summer I'm learning how to mountain bike. I'm also working my way through Noam Chomsky's literary catalog.

I don't meet very many people who are as motivated by these things as I am. I just can't settle for mediocrity.

What do you all do to improve upon yourselves???

I just finished my first week of my new regiment of PE classes and I can hardly move right now. Curses to the four flights of stairs that my apartment sits atop.

I plan to finish at least some of  the books in my ever-expanding pile of recreational reading that my school and work schedule does not allow me to enjoy.

But for right this second, its bong rips for me.
