LAW AND ORDER

Yesterday i went to ericas house... and we "cooked" fajitas for ourselves and her neighbors... it was kinda pathetic.. watching us "cook" a word that i will continue to put in quotations.. the days i am able to cook something that dosnt require a box and/or radiation...

it was full though we just sat around talking and drank wine..
erica and i also.. mixed a strange concoktion.. of.. premixed margaritas.. and extra tequilla....

NOTE: tequilla should not be chugged...

in other news:

i got a call from the casting director over at Law and Order and they had a speaking part they wanted me to shoot tomorrow .... too bad im not in new york anymore..
so i had to turn it down....

kinda bitter sweet...

glad to hear i got the part... but... sucks i cant get up there...

damn architecture school..

180 some thousand miles

To explain the heading... thats just how many miles are on my car, i put about 30K on there in like 2 and a half years.....
Anyways.....
My friend Kelsey flew into town yesterday morning from New York..so i met she and Jen.. at The Standard...
then we mozzied on over to MJQ {.otherwise known as the drunken unicorn.} which i had heard about but never been.. suppose to be a crazy dance party

its was interesting... liked the DJs... alittle dark...but will prolly will go back...
i hadnt done.. my photography assignment for this week yet..so i took some shots last night...

somehow there ended up being like 12 pics of kelsey... ... whatever...

Fuck the pain away

So as is true with most fun things in life... they appear to always come with some sort of catch or clause.. stateing that the good time you are having right at this moment... will be matched with an equally shitty time... sometime thereafter....



Good News: i got a call from Erica last night.. (my old roomate) who i havnt seen since we moved out of our last apt... in May... and shes living in ATL now... so that was exciting... i drove over to her apt... and it is sooo cute..


_____________________________________________________________________________________
Picture: Erica now with her short fauxhawk haircut.. making funny faces
_____________________________________________________________________________________


We mingled and drank wine with her male gay neighbors for a bit.. and then decided we wanted to go out...




They were dead set on bringing us to a gay bar... so thats what we did...

not the one where FAG HAGS arnt allowed....
it was actually really fun... tons of dragqueens... and other cute gayness..

Everyone was like... is that your girlfriend (referring to Erica).. u guys would make the cutest couple.... it was rather comical....
anyways we both proceeded to do what we do best..... and got hammered...

We woke up both feeling like rusting metal .. this morning...
i had to go to class and she had to go to work....

i left my first class twice to puke and the second one once...
its 7:19pm and i still feel like shit... ive been in the bed all day...
praying to God to please... spare me this one last time.....
my crys fall upon deaf ears....

Weekends Over... get off ur ASS!!

so that entry title was kinda just a message to myself... no mind that...

My cousin and I went to see Freedom Writers yesterday... it was ok.... i just hate that whole.. black-kids-wont-learn-white-person-connects-all-is-good story..... its just been told so many times... but are there any more original ideas out there..

-------------------------------------------------

Sidenote: one movie i would recommend that kinda breaks alot of stereotypes is Half Nelson (u might have to search for it but it's well worth it.)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I've been sitting around here all day doing Cal homework... still not done.. which explains why im still up at 2:45 am ....

For my photography class... we had to take three self portraits that expressed our personality..

and then a provacative picture of a Pepper... yeah.. thats not a typo... like a bell pepper....

Im not crazy ... i swear... but as soon as i thought of a provacative pepper i thought of a pediphile... sooooo.....

I originally wanted the little boy (my seven year old cousin) to be in his underwear and nothing else... but he wasnt going for that... so i asked him to just wear his little soccer shorts with no shirt.... he refused to take off his shirt. so these are a few of the shots i got....

It was weird because i was actually trying to channel a pediphine and what i would wanna see then that just got kinda weird and i made myself stop taking pictures and we played power rangers on playstation.... (payment for his participation)

I would post the pics that i did for the self portrait assignment.. but since i basically post a new pic of myself every post... i think that would be a bit of overkill... trust me .... you all will see them eventually...

Blah Blah Saturday

Today was very uneventful..

played FIFA with my cousin for a couple of hours and helped my aunt clean out her basement..

played with xander and stayed in my PJs all day

i did get to work on the Mixtape Swap page and. its myspace page as well...

And i talked to talk to preston (the promoter of Decatur Social Club party) i told him about last night and he said next week he could get me in,

I guess i just cant take no for an answer.... oh well...

tomorrow and monday arnt looking any more climactic than today, maybe thats a good thing...

i havnt done this whole chill and mellow thing for a while...

Song stuck in head: Dave McCullen - I just like to call you my bitch

I finally got caught

So everyone who knows me, and even some who think they know me, knows i have a fake id... have had the same fake since i was like 17..

in the past three years i have never had it taken away or declined or ever looked at twice...

i have used this Ga id... many places in Georgia, Alabama,New Jersey, many parts of New York City never a problem...

Then tonight.. i decided to go check out the Decatur Social Club its a weekly party throw at this place called Azul... i heard it was spose to be pretty cool...

so i made the 20 minute drive out there.... to check it out...

upon getting into decatur it took me another 20 minutes to find the damn place...

its so friggen hidden....

bottom line the guy looks at my id.. and goes "April" this is not you.... "you have chink eyes"

i was floored... i had no idea what to say... i have never been turned away from a venue before...

anyways....still alittle pissed about that but whatever... still not gonna stop using it...

unless the next time i get caught again.... if thats the case.. ill accept the fact that my luck has run out and i better lay low till August....

on top of all of that....

i had a freaking nervous breakdown when i got to my car..

i guess it was the accumulation of alot of things....

and all resulting in me not wanting to me living in atlanta for the next five years...

i go to a technology school 77% guys.... (not as good as it sounds).... think dungeons and dragons and anime... alot of anime....

i get lost driving almost every friggen day..

i cant move into my new apt till feb..

and i just dont have any friends here...

so its pretty... eh right now....

and lets not forget that whole ex-boyfriend thing...

i called my mom crying... and she did the usual mom thing... things till get better blah blah... i hate u feel this way blah blah... whatever... she loves me...

so now im sitting here.. like the nerd i am.. at 1:35 in the morning on a friday night... will red puffy eyes.. typing out my latest blog entry... listening to Metric... and getting ready to read a few pages of the book i bought today...

HTML, XHTML & CSS sixth edition (in full color)... yeah baby....

PS. i really dig. this built in camera.. my lnew aptop has on it... its pretty dope..

mixtape swap update, and new apt update

Spent the better part of my break between classes today, trying to get this mixtape swap up and going... well at least up...

and finding a fun project logo^^^^^^^^^^^^

Got the site up....it still needs alot of work but at least its out there

Mixtape Swap: Are you Listening

Cant start accepting discs/tapes till Feb 1st.

i met with my roomate today and shes pretty cool.. om excited to move outta this phyc ward

still have not managed to catch, sars or ebloa... or whatever the hell these people have around me...

anyways short post today... unfortunatly calculus is calling me...

MIXTAPE SWAP: Spare the World

i wanted to join a mixtape swap to get some new tunes and maybe meet a few cool people, but after playing the search engine game.. i found nothing that sparked my fancy.. free or otherwise...

So i decided to follow the old cliche' if you want something dont right you just go ahead and do it yourself..

So within the next two weeks.. i will be putting another site/blog up devoted to the mixtape swap project.. tentativly named "spare the world".... i think that needs work though..

I'll be getting with all the specifics.. but for now just know its gonna be free...

more to come soon.....

email me if your interested...

STOP PUKING!!!

Im hangin out at my aunts house for a couple weeks till i get my apt in FEB... which consists of eight bedrooms and a crap ton of people....

My aunt

the twins (3 years old)

Matthew 7

Jeff 17

my other aunt

my uncle

and my gramma

and then me...

and last night... the twins, matt, and jeff were all throwing up....

ick.... i showered the house in lysol... this morning... and quickly gathered my things and left for class.. and tried my hardest to be gone for the most part of the day...

when i came back the twins were sleeping....

matthew had thrown up at the top of the steps and did a very 7 year olds job of cleaning it up.. by only placing a large towel on top of it... i went to see how jeff was doing with my mask on of course.... and he was puking in a bedside trash can...

i decided just to be safe to give the house a second coat of Lysol...

now im sitting here... on the floor typing and paranoid.. trying not to breath too hard... careful not to catch whatever the hell all these poor souls are dealing with today...

and so it goes..

Somber Sunday

So my ex-boyfriend and i have been hanging out...for the last 6 months ... i broke up with him over a year ago... for stupid reasons... but whatever.... we've started getting close again... and i started getting true feelings for him again... and he was also not totally over me...

so for the last couple of months we have been skating that line of... we are friends/we used to date/ we still enjoy each others company/ so lets still have sex...

it started getting to me..because we were both dating other people... but still cared about each other... im rambling... whatever... ... he still cares about me.. but is confused and dosnt know what he wants.....

in short...
i told him tonight.. that we cant be friends anymore...i've fallin and broke my ankel..and im done skating.... i cant wait for him anymore..

i was a coward and did it over aim.... partly so he didnt have to hear me crying... and i guess im just a wuss..

i saved the whole transcript and thought about posting it on here...... but..... thought that wouldnt be fair.. to him.. soo...

anyways... tomorrow is my first day in the architecture program....
i wish i could be more articulate tonight.... but... im just pooped....

in the words of my friend Teddy... 'ON TO A NEW COO"
