i just found this album! i loved it ten years ago, seriously loved it. all systems go! and the song is all i want. listen to it if you find it. its an anthem. 'cause all i really want is everything until the end of time.
i was quoted today as saying that today was a 9.7 on all days of total happiness. seriously, i had to be leaking it all over everyone around me. i loved life and my peers today and laughing was a natural side effect. shout out today goes to bobby for helping me selflessly through a problem solved by jason in about three seconds. the good news i can still hot deploy! but only for one more day.
i never thought, if you would have asked me one month ago, after marvin's fabulous display of drunken debauchery, throwing water out of the hot tub and making lewd gestures at drea and i, that i would be planning how we would spend valentines day together. (that was a long sentence) its been a great month though. a very public thank you to marvin for being a totally awesome bloke who keeps me pretty happy.
aaron engaged me in conversation a bit today. he commented on how great it must have been to grow up in a state that kills two times more people a year than all the other states combined. he didn't even know that i grew up less than an hour and half outside of huntsville, the government sponsored murder capital of the world. i don't want to get political on here, because politics aren't funny, but i just want to start a new section here called aaronisms. there is an ongoing list i have to find somewhere.
1. you know, i kinda' miss the electric chair.
kk and i hunted through the corporate swag (stuff we all get) from corp for the college recruits. i got some sweet chapstick and an awesome mechanical pencil, which, if you read my blog, you know i've been praying for. sweet d said "didn't g@rm!n save your life?" and i have to say, they really did. best decision i ever made was to pass up higher paying start up job in the city for this amazing team.
michael, jason and i went to an sf beta mixer tonight, which was a total sausage fest. i think, becoming a female software engineer in the valley was the best decision i ever made for my "personal" life.

So I give arbitrary answers, but resent if you call them fake
that is this band called kind of like spitting that you've probably never heard of. the song is a secret one on this album i have... yeah. this album makes me sad, makes me think of things passed when i lived on maui and felt pretty lonely. yeah
so today was pretty nice. i woke up to a ping from my friend jaime, a lovely gentleman i was in love with for several years some time ago. he has a bunch of my secrets, so it's pretty awesome that we're talking again. for the three and half years that we were together (i think that's the official count...) i believe we spent at least 72% of the time unemployed. i don't have any idea how we paid bills or got wasted. those were the good years. now we're both successful and less punk rock. its funny how the years change folks.
oh! in case you were concerned, i left my calculus book at doug's house. he's going to let me have it tomorrow evening, or maybe i'll just take it. i still have a key.
zeb was angry at me this morning. mondays in combination with zeb's angry face equal sad times for devo. but i was happy. i fixed some bugs and i found this amazing application called whereboutz. i want to build something very similar for my dream app. everyone please add the facebook whereboutz app. i know you don't have a fb, zeb, but please be nicer to me tomorrow :)
man, the drive over the gg bridge was truly amazing today, with the red of the bridge against the green of the sausalito hills, against the blue of the sky. i couldn't have painted it better.
also, you'll be happy to know that "FUCK MATH" was removed from my calculus room wall. i'm a bit sad about it. there's this total eye candy, though, that's sat next to me the last few classes, and he makes up for any sorrow i had for the loss of that angry string.

But I was born to lose my breath
that's my bloody valentine. if you're into such things, you should hump to this album. and then fall asleep spooning. yeah. anyway, i've been finding myself losing my breath a lot lately. and i relate to this whole song when i hear it.
i have to start off by saying that i'm blogging at ten pm when i should be fucking rocking out to poison the well at slims. BUT drea was.... um... holding my beer... for me.. or whatever, and this crazy chick with blue eyebrows came up and made us leave. then she like, lectured us like we were seven and drew big blue xs on our hands and kicked us out. seriously. fuck you blue eyebrowed chick. i've been looking forward to this show forever and you're a stupid bitch. i was so steamed i pouted my way home, and now, here i am. alone in my room on a sunday night. lame.
i lost my calculus book, i'm wicked pissed about it. if you find it please give it back. i need it to be a good student.
as you all might know, i drove down to santa cruz on friday to hang out with this guy i've been crushin' on. he's pretty cool. we kissed a couple of times, had some food, and rode the roller coaster. we also laughed a lot, he's a funny guy. i really like him. he said some funny marvinisms and told me to write them in this little book *but* claimed to have lost the page with the funny marvinisms written down in it. so now i don't know what they were. and i don't want to misquote because it takes away the magic. please find the paper, marvin.
argh
you know what sucks? rejection sucks. getting asked politely to move out of your house. breaking up with bois. getting kicked out of shows. all that stuff sucks. it makes you feel like you're not that special because you're going to be easily replaced. no one wants to feel easily replaceable. i'm special. this is a fact. fuck you rejectors

All day your songs spin me into a romance repeatedly to the sky
f*ing poison the well dude. me and drea are going to this show on sunday are we're going to rock your sorry ass. yeah. metal.
so i'm about to hop in my car and drive down to santa cruz to see the man of which i'm am romantically involved. this romantic affair will inevitably kill me, i think.
the office was a rollercoaster today. number a, i walked into yelling. yelling makes me panic and feel uncomfortable. number b, sweet d was gnarley sick, and that worries me as well, because she is my soul mate, yada yada yada. there were though, some lucky charms, which are awesome, i have not had lucky charms in about twenty years. i should reintroduce them into my diet, because i got the most nutso sugar high i've ever had from them. and the worst belly ache. after the lucky charms and a pep talk from aaron where we decided i get to write a proposal for my dream app, things improved. aarthi and hai surprised me today. aarthi, because she's so sweet and angelic. i look at aarthi and i think, "awww. sweet aarthi, i just want to hug her and tell her she's special." but today she said "your face smells like garbage" to jason, and that made me laugh. she also asked me some question about something related to marvin that made me giggle. new respect for aarthi. hai impressed me because he was playing air and then pavement in his car when we went to go get burritos. this is awesome hai. you should go to shows with us, though you probably think i'm lame. michael and i showed our great appreciation for hai's musical taste by drawing penises in the steam on his car's back windows. "we're gonna go get hai". yep. then the day sucked because everyone left early and this stupid bug i was trying to fix, never got fixed. dang it zeb. i did hear a tech sentence that made me think of sexual innuendo. it was "if it doesn't work, just try it on the back end."
aaron also said something about toning down the content of my blog...so i'm going to try that.
oh! jason is a P-I-M-P because he met some broads in a bar last night and right now he's in tahoe with them. respect jason.
anyway, wish me luck on my stupid drive!

And though the comedy softens the fall, they still hear us with their ears to the wall
The Shins! girl on the wing. i hate my sucker roommates, i can't do anything private.
i have to share a sickness i have with you. i'm addicted to sharpening pencils. i went through four whole pencils during my calculus class today. its a sickness, and i can tell the lead is about to break but i have to keep going, and i just sharpen again and again and again... it annoys the people around me. it annoys me because i never get any notes taken. but i've done it since i was in high school. the solution is mechanical pencils but i couldn't find one, so today's note taking suffered. during one such pencil sharpening fit, i noticed next to my desk, which was against the furthest eastward facing wall, someone wrote huge with their freshly sharpened pencil "fuck math." i laughed out loud at this, which made my neighbors really think i was a little crazy, pencil sharpening, insessant text messaging, and laughing while looking at the wall. clearly nuts. anyway, who is this person that wrote "fuck math" on the wall? why were they so angry at math as a whole? its perplexing for me. i think its a young angry man who can't get integrals. chin up chap. it will all make sense soon enough.
i picked marvin up from the airport last night and we kissed at the terminal. it was pretty awesome to watch all the people get off the airplanes and rekindle the affairs with their loved ones in baggage claim. if you're ever depressed, go to the airport and watch grandmothers see their infant grand children for the first time, watch lovers run and greet eachother with kisses, hugs, and flowers from seeing eachother at long last, watch fathers greet teenaged daughters with pride and aww. its a pretty amazing place to be. anyway, i left the battery on some how in marvin's car with the ignition or something, so today when he tried to get in it to drive back to santa cruz, it would not start. i felt *very* guilty about this. i had to give him a jump (that's what she said.)
also. my morning was pretty shitty. i was feeling the negative energy that is melancholy caused from lost relationships that will never be revisited...and perhaps the wonder if i will ever have anything comfortable that i don't have to question. anyway, marvin listened to me cry and jason let me hold his arm on the trip to lunch, and gave me a hug later. i love jason. he's fucking awesome.
the day ended better.

punked out and now i'm feeling grounded
that's *jawbreaker* and the song is jinx removing. i use it today because other people's bay area stories rule my life.
yesterday i loved living in san francisco. seriously, anyone from texas that i know that reads this, can you f*ing believe i live in san francisco?! i drove over the golden gate bridge to come home, looked for parking, met sweet d so we could introduce two new bois into our mix, walked four blocks to a popularly posh restaurant, walked two blocks to cafe du nord to see our friends band play, and then left early and enjoyed the quiet walk down church street back home. i'm in love with this city, but its just completely surreal that this is my life that i'm living.
down to the juicy details:
sweet d and I met josh and daniel, the two guys who were our top choices for potential roommates. i have some concern over adding a second josh to my life, it could get confusing. so daniel is an apple developer who's young, and totally excited. he brews his own beer and iced cream and has a strange infatuation for peanut butter. he also doesn't allow for food to be left on the table. he's got spirit, yes he do. anyway, this is a great balance for sweet d's totally downer depressing attitude (just kidding. everyone who knows her, knows sweet d never frowns unless jason is choking me out in a drunken stuper in tahoe) josh is a keeper aliver of virtual worlds, who is seemingly very level headed and mellow. he told us that they have their meetings in a virtual world. this made me laugh and when i later told michael and josh benjamin, they also laughed. laughed because it's so f*ing badass. josh likes daft punk and indian food and wine, and i respect that. we will likely be the grown ups in the house. granted no disgusting drama takes place over the next several weeks, these two fellas will be d and my house mates. love them.
we then walked over to cafe du nord to see greg's band, sholi, play. d nor i had cash, what's that about? i'm such a silly sfer now, i never have cash 'cause no one takes cards. sholi was totally badass, and made me wish i talked to greg more. they had a song in farci. i bought a seven inch. they were melodic and noisy at the same time, and very tight. i hearted them.
i bailed out early 'cause i'm an old lady. diluka was barachoing it together and mike and josh were on the prowl for hot looking bitches so it wasn't my scene anyways. i had a very quiet, peaceful walk home. once again, i love my life.

Laugh along with the common people, Laugh along although they're laughing at you
that's pulp "common people" though william shatner and ben folds do a boss cover of it.
so my roommate situation is becoming intolerable. luckily sweet d and i are meeting up with two awesome dudes we think could be a great fit into our situation in about an hour for dinner and laid back interview. i'll tag them and name them if we decide they're dope enough to live with us.
i've noticed a substantial californiazation of my vernacular as of recent. words such as "sick", "dope", "boss", and "dudes" have been added to my vocabulary and its quite scary for a texan such as me. i don't know what the cure is. i don't know if i want to cure it.
the hallway of my office leading to clark, mike, and hai's desks, is long and narrow and the light casted from each individual light fixture casts a very specifically orange glow. when i walk down the hall i get vertigo and feel like i'm in a kubric movie. it's pretty cool. i made that walk so many times today because a) the forerunner 405 is a boss device and i will do anything i can do to play with it and b) ant agent bites.
i would like to take this opportunity to give kk a shout out. she's amazing and i rarely mention her. she is a stabilizing force in my live, and it makes me happy when she says "good morning, devon" to me everyday. can i get a hell yeah for kk?
i also would like to take this opportunity to say that a certain "boi" has made my heart super happy over the last ~4 weeks. i'm totally falling in love with myself (but not in a narcissistic way)
rock out!
