thinking on your feet.

So i had these thoughts today...
why is it that every man i have found attractive in the past 6months if not longer is either married, gay, or emotional unstable? do we set the bar too high for the men in we encounter because of the books we read or the movies we see. or is it because of the men in our own lives that set the standerd for the men we want to keep around.

If i stop feeding Toby will he loose weight or will he find another form of food to nibble at and blow up even fatter?

Why do cats think drinking out of cups is the coolest thing since sliced bread? I mean you have a perfectly good bowl of water right next to your food, but noooooo.... my glass of water is exactly what you want. So you have to get your head stuck and somehow manage to get the water all over my belongings... cats are perplexing.

what do snacks do when the doors of the pantry close?

Do children do cute things for attention, or do we find them cute because they look like little versions of ourselves with speech impediments and short arms?

Do all people sometimes feel like a nut?

Are there any acceptable occasions to wear a wedding dress other than at a wedding?

why is vegas soooooo hot?

and finally...

if a dryer is just hot air then why does it cost so much at a laundromat?

truths.

i don't like licorice.
i have a fat cat. he is a stress eater.
i have a degree that i paid a lot of money for and can't seem to find a job that i am qualified for.
i once cried because i'm not engaged. it's not that i want to be, but i'm sad it's not an option and with all the smut on tv about perfect wedding dresses and wedding cakes and wedding flowers and wedding vows and wedding guests. it gets a girl all flustered about her life going no where.
i like dinosaurs. i wish i had a pet rapture but a toy size. i mean if they can have toy sized dogs why not toy sized dinosaurs. i see big money in this industry.
i like gory movies.
i am fascinated by WW2 and hitler.
i love dark chocolate.
i have a slit addiction to diet coke.
i have a large addiction to iced coffee.
i have a hatred of yo-yo's. i think it is because i am secretly jealous of those that mastered the tricks, but they are not a fun toy.
i wish i could pull of maxi dresses.
i wish i was a hipster so i could make fun of normal people. but i can't even make it into the normal group.
i have a best friend who lives in the mountains in an attic. i sometimes wonder if she remembers me.
i like baking.
i like classic novels, but feel too pretentious when i read them that i never can finish them.
i wish i could wear my cowboy boots every day.
i feel prettiest in a dress with pockets.
i enjoy eating oranges. the peeling of the nasty rind off is just such an accomplished feeling and the reward of the juicy orange is well worth it.

i miss my college family.
i like cupcakes. even more than cake i think.

more truths to come soon.

toby's still fat.

so... since my last post I have moved back to the city that never sleeps and is comprised of neon lights. this city is also referred to as Las Vegas.

I however... do sleep, and have no neon within at least 500ft of where i do my sleeping. which is in North Las Vegas.

Other than sleeping i am stage managing. quite regularly actually, but have no day time, real person job.

I do truly enjoy my laid back lifestyle of lounging around and reading whatever book i choose to pick up. however my reading material tends to be something more like this...

Other than that things here in the sexless neon city are quite calm. making contacts and hoping to some day soon bust out of my 10'x12' room at my parents house (good thing this house is quite extravagant).

Only downside to living with the rents is... they won't let me get a dog. they say it has something to do with the fact that i have two cats or something or something about our lack of a side gate. But we all know it would be because they would be heart broken when i move out and take my precious pooch with me.

I do enjoy being a stones through away from them though. whenever i miss my momo all i have to do is walk down the hall.

more to come, but for now off to make more cupcakes. (i think its my newest addiction).

the realization

i spend my day with dogs and my nights with gays.

how will i ever find someone to pay my rent in exchange for my awesome company at this rate?

lint schmint.

i recently have found that one does not need a vacuum, but instead one can use a lint roller to clean up unwanted cat hair that your over sized lovable friend leaves behind.

the lint roller is not just for clothes...

no it is powerful enough for furniture, rugs, and even cats.

the only down side is the constant peeling that must take place to remove the full piece of tape to a fresh unsuspecting layer of lint free, or in my case cat hair free, piece of tape.

so as a current penny pincher use the resources you have before outsourcing to small children in a foreign country.
