April 30, 2004
O.K., I have received a nasty gram from Daniel lecturing me on my lack of updates. But I have a confession to make. I'm getting bored of this format and as a result have been slacking on the updates. I need to create a new weblog that has the comment feature...so that these entries can start conversations... otherwise, what is the point. (besides keeping Daniel from staying busy slinging prepositions all over his stories...) But far be it from me to give the impression that I don't care...
There is a lot going in Erin-land. To start with, my 25th birthday is impending and while I am excited about my birthday party, I'm sad that my youth is trickling away. I'm now too old for American Idol and Real World. Not that I was planning on being on either of those shows, but at least I had the option. I guess everyone goes through a bit of a quarter life crisis, but I'm feeling a little apprehensive about the military thing...I don't really want to be in anymore, but I am scared to get out....there's lots to think about. I can only say that I'm glad I have Tim to go down this road with otherwise I would feel lost. I've said it before, but having someone who you love really makes it easier to make life decisions. I feel like I don't have to try this all by myself...we'll be able to support each other.
Which brings me to my next thing...I've been freaking out about starting school full time in the fall and I think that it was ruining what should have been a fun experience for me....So I've decide to go part time and when I get out of the Air Force, I'll go full time. That way I can enjoy my time there without making my work suffer... I am glad I made the choice, at least I feel like the pressure is off. And I'll have time to make my portfolio better....
So, I am going to Oklahoma City at the end of the month, so I've been working out.... (and trying to eat healthy, but I'm such a fat kid about stuff that I like....like cheese...) mainly so that Tim's family won't think I'm a cow, but also because we're doing the new Air Force fitness test this month so I need to make sure I'm up to snuff. I noticed this morning that my knees were sore after running. :o( which blows, just cause running is the only thing I really like to do anymore...the new gym is okay, but working out with other people makes me really self conscious. I worry they are look at my boobs bouncing all over the place and stuff. My new work out plan is to go running three times a week and doing my sit-ups and push-ups whenever I think of it... which is becoming more often. Although, trying to stick to a zone-like diet is hard when I live with Tim though, I always want to eat whatever he's having.
Tim and I are planning a trip home to Oregon this summer too. I really want to show him my home town and state.... It's all part of my evil plan to get him to live on the west coast after I get out. :o) And speaking of Oregon, I got a call from Karen Jamieson....one of my friends from high school, and she's doing awesome and has the cutest little girl you've ever seen! Anyway, I'm thinking of adding a section on my MISC gallery for friends from Port Orford...so look for that....Also, I chatted with Echo the other day and it looks like she and Utku with be back in the states in September. hrmm....maybe I'll wait and go to Oregon then...
peace,
~e
p.s. I almost forgot. I would like to speak out against all dumbassex-boyfriends who just show up at my work all unannouced. that was shitty.
p.s.s. keep an eye out for a new page...fun with CORNDOGS!

It's supposed to snow 5 billion inches tonight, or something like that, but it doesn't even seem that cold out... I'm hoping for snow, then I could spend the early morning hours enjoying the just snowed silence of my neighborhood. :o) Sometimes Bob Dylan's impassioned cry for his honey makes me laugh. He reminds me of this kid Nicholas in my first grade class who used to beg for candy all the time....he sounded a lot like that. And when you think of the symbolism of that, well....um.....*sigh, so much for an interesting entry* I've noticed that sometimes, when I start writing my blog, that all of a sudden I have to go pee. I'm not sure, but I think it's natures way of telling me to keep it short.

April 20th,
Well, this was a weekend of all-American good times and me saving the day. On Friday, I got off work early and did a little yard work. Although that part was fun, the next day I noticed that I had some sort of reaction to my garden. I have hives all over my arms. :( *scratch scratch* And then, Sheila came over and we shared an energetic game of drunken charades in the back yard. Example:
Sheila: *whispering* two words.... (holds up her arms and flaps wildly while jumping around)
Me: Bird! Duck! caw!
Sheila: (shakes head violently, flaps harder)
Me: bird! bird! BIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRDDD!
Good times. :) Anyway, Saturday was a whole lotta shopping and cleaning...your basic couple with a new house weekend. Dane came over and jammed out with Tim in the back yard on Saturday night. Then my little sister called me with boy troubles and I gave her advice on how to get over a sucky boy. (If i'm not the one to ask about that, I don't know who is...) And then Sunday, Tim and I bought wood for our new table and spent the afternoon priming it. The we ducked inside to watch The Sopranos. I have been sucked into that show. Now I know what everyone has been talking about. HBO really has outdone themselves with that show...and Six Feet Under, that's a great show too. I can't tell you how much T.V. I've watched that I forget before it's even over, but those shows on HBO stick with me.... I think I need to check out some earlier episodes. And in other news...I'm now Aim & Fire Champion and Bashing Penguin champion! Yay for me!

Welcome, welcome one and all. I think I should tell you that I am once again tiring of this layout of my website....too many tables, too many uneccesary pages, to many pictures of me. I need more...mystery and more professional stuff. I need to simplify things and only update stuff that people are actually interested in. And i've got to streamline this whole blog updating thing...I can't shake this sneaking suspicion that I'm doing this the hard way. *note to self: must ask Tim if i'm doing this the hard way*
Annnnnnywaaay, I am happy to report that all is well in my new house. It snowed on friday night and luckily by sunday (easter) the snow had all melted and the yard was in prime shape for easter egg hunting...(pics of that later...) We had our first dinner party on easter and it went swimmingly. I made my Rosemary Roast Chicken, mashed pototoes, stuffing, steamed veggies..... and the girls brought a few more things, and we had piles of food! It was wonderful, and so much fun just to have everyone over... I hate to sound all domesticated, cause ,well, June Cleaver I'm not...But the fun of entertaining made me realize how gratifying being a grown up with a house can be.
Anyway, we're in exercise this week, so i'm rockin't he 12 hour shifts right now... it really blows, thank god it's only for a week Well, i'm swamped so i'll write more later...

I am feeling very tired (and a little hung-over from drinks with Tim, Monica and Chris last night) so I'm going to share with you an entry from Moby's journal. This guy is definitely a little extreme, but I like how passionate he is about world events...at a time when I feel like no one I know wants to talk about it. It's a hilarious entry actually, but if you are offended by "bush-bashing" then don't read it. I don't agree with everything he's saying, but I think he makes some interesting points....~e
America Under GW Bush4/9/2004 - New York City
do you ever get the feeling that 50% of the population of the u.s belong to a cult? i kind of feel as if we, the other 50%, need to take the right-wing in america and run an intervention with them.maybe we could take all 50% of the american population who still believe in the presidency of george bush and pull them into a hotel room and say:'he lied to you. gw bush lied to you. pathologically.he's a sick man who lies and lies and lies. he lied about wmd's in iraq, he lied about enron being his largest campaign contributor, he lied about funding afghanistan pre-9/11, he lied about the saudi involvement in u.s foreign affairs, he lied about out-sourcing u.s jobs, he lied about not blocking the 9-11 investigations, etc.'and we can take the 50% of americans who still believe in george bush and say 'this isn't about party politics.this isn't about democrats or republicans. this is about a small sect of rabid ideologues who have hijacked the u.s government for their deceitful, narrow, atavistic agenda.'then we realize that 'atavistic' is a weird word that no one apart from me uses.so we simplify it: 'gw bush and his administration have lied to you. they've lied and lied and lied and lied. over and over again. they are sick and deceitful and corrupt people and they're not republicans, they're not democrats, they're just dishonest and immoral and corrupt weirdos and we all need to reject them and move on(no pun intended).'it's so odd when you speak to right wing denizens of america and say: 'gw bush is a draft dodging, inept, puppet and he's created the largest federal deficit in the history of the u.s and the largest federal government in the history of the u.s and he's made america a target for hateful terrorists and he's sold the u.s to oil companies and etc'and they say: 'no'.what the hell are they thinking?my request to right-wing america: go ahead, be right wing, be conservative, but wake the fuck up and admit that the bush administration have screwed up EVERYTHING that they've touched.this is a disaster and it has nothing to do with right or left wing.it has nothing to do with liberal or conservative.we all need to come together and make america sane and responsible.america under gw bush has lost its mind.

Well, now that the rush of April Fools pranks are finished, I can feel free to say that , Moby, it's a shame you're not running of president after all....and Rich, I'm glad you didn't find your way back to GTC, and John....I really wish you would have cut ties with MSM, cause that message board is fuckin' lame and all those people suck. On a happier note, this life of mine is on an upswing...other than my boss being a flaming retard, I am really running out of things to complain about. So, I ask you all to stay tuned...since this life of mine is a roller coaster, I'm sure I'll be wallowing in some pit of drama if you can just hang on. In the mean time, I want to tell you to all check out a band called "Eisley". They're kind of different, but easy on the ears. Touring with Coldplay, if that tells you anything...
love, love, love,
