12:07 pm	DEPECHE MODE Thanks to my best friend's dad being the LA Fire Dept inspector, we got free DM tix last night. The seats were pretty close too! Dave Gahan was awesome and Martin Gore did a lot of solo stuff which was cool. They only played a couple songs off the new album and mostly older stuff which made me happy. Songs played in no order, Wrong, Shake the Disease (acoustic), Enjoy the Silence, Policy of Truth, Fly on the Windscreen, Question of Lust, Question of Trust, Stripped (the best song), Precious, It's No Good, Waiting for the Night, Personal Jesus... That's all I can remember at this time. Current Mood: grateful (2 Comments |Comment on this)

7:31 pm	It's good to be home I am finally here! Had an interesting time in Texas with my dad. I flew to Texas before coming home. Spent 5 days in the country. I rode horses, went to a local bullriding competition, watched my dad and friends rope cattle, and see the most awesome summer thunderstorms. Yes, this is a part of my life which I don't think I have ever mentioned on my journal. Yes, it's very hick to say the least, but it's a lifestyle that I have grown to appreciate as I have gotten older. It was quite refreshing to leave the concrete jungle of the Upper East Side of Manhattan and go back to my roots in rual Texas. It was nice to be surrounded by green, animals, and friendly people. A rt and Christina are picking me up tonight and we're hitting up Bar Sinister! I haven't been to an LA club in so long. New York cannot compare. Thanks thougth to Kreestof for always making it fun. I can't wait to see the rest of the pics from the photoshoot. I may be shooting with Candace next month as well. We'll see. It was so great spending the day with my mom, stepdad, and my little brother. I missed them so much! My family is the best! I have just been holding onto my mom all day. We are just so close and I am going to try to not fight with her about stupid shit anymore. I am really going to try and change things. Monday I have an interview at Long Beach Memorial. I have NO idea what shift they may offer. University of California Irvine also wanted to interview me, but they wanted a night shift nurse. I can;t work nights. I hope that Long Beach pays well. All I know is that they see A LOT of trauma and are very busy. It will be a hell of a commute from Ventura. I am moving in with my best friend this week in Ventura. I can't wait! We have so much surfing and other activities to catch up on. Life is good! Current Mood: happy (2 Comments |Comment on this)

5:49 am	Homesick Wow! I never thought that I would have a hard time finding a job being a nurse! The economy is so fucked up that even I am having a very difficult time finding work, especially in California. I have put in a few applications online for ER jobs back home and NO reply. I check the websites a few days later and the job is not posted anymore. And trust me, there are very few postings to start with. The travel nurse indusrty is picking up a little bit, but not much. I think California used to lead in travel jobs but that has definitely changed. I took this assignment at Cornell here in New York thinking things would turn around in 3 months. I went to California to visit last week and went to Santa Barbara to put in an application there and they had zero ER needs but said I could cross-train and work in ICU and be committed for 18 months. Hell no! I would rather file for unemployment than work ICU. And unemployment may have to be one of my options at this point. My friend who was traveling in LA for a year, who is also an ER nurse, has been out of work for a while and can't even find a registry job. I really hope that I am not stuck here in New York. I didn't want to come here this assignment, but I needed Cornell on my resume. All I want to do is go back home. I have travelled over a year now and know what I want. I know that there is no better place for me than California. Current Mood: worried Current Music: Aphex Twin- On (6 Comments |Comment on this)

6:30 pm	rex is sleeping on my lap. he slept with me all night. his face right on my face for the most part. i wrapped him in a towel in case he peed which he did not. when he wakes up, i take him to the newspaper and he goes. he is really good about that thank god. the crying is probably gonna take a while. i have him all set for tonight when i go to work. i'll walk back on my hour break and spend some tme with him. i took him for his first walk. he was good with the leash. he's barely 9 weeks so i know it's soon. better to get him acclimated to people, noise, outdoors... people were takng pctures of him, askng questions about his breed, petting him. tons of people have dogs here but i guess he just looks different from the norm. there's a party after work today 730 at the local cornell bar- murphey's. i'm workin tonight. i would have loved to have gone to hang with coworkers. my friend invited me to jersey shore this saturday. i can't go. i gotta take care of this guy. i will go out sat and sunday night though. i'm so thankful to have hookups! i am pretty broke right about now and cannot be spending money on going out.

4:07 am	Rex is going to be A LOT of work. One huge plus is that he uses newspaper to go to the bathroom. So far, so good. He is having major separation anxiety. His whole little puppy life is turned upside down right now. I was surprised that he took to me so well. He bonded with me instantly. But already, within a few hours time, he cries if I am nt holding him. Wierd because he wasn't really handled a whole lot by the breeder. I work nights which really doesn;t help his sleeping patterns. I was gonna let him just stay in bed with me but I know it's a bad idea at this time. I tried putting him in his area and he was crying so loud that I am scared of getting kicked out of the apartment. Instead of sleeping with me, I have him in his crate on teh bed next to me. I figure better that than letting him sleep with me. I am so worried about #1 him not haivng any consistant feeding, outdoors, sleeping patterns #2 him crying so loud when I am gone that the manager gets called or something. Everyone here has dogs. Some have 2. And there are a couple babies on this floor. I hope I am just being paranoid. He's gonna flip the fuck out when I go to work tomorrow night. I am so pissed!! The breeder miss the flight yesterday. I initially wanted him Monday. I have hardly any time to bond with him and get the crying under control before I start a 2 day. I am nervous!

9:26 pm	My new job I really like my new job. I had a fabulous day at work. This is by far the best travel assignment I have had. The staff is very nice and helpful, the manager is super chill, and I am working with intelligent people that I can respect. I still love my apartment. It's so roomy and I like falling asleep looking out at my awesome view. I wonder why I am in such a god mood considering I am about to start my period and I get horrible PMS. This is good.

9:21 pm	I am being sooooo lazy right now. I need to get ready cuz Moses is coming over to visit me. I have had such a great time back home. I've seen so many old friends. I was surprised at how many people missed me and wanted to see me. Viva Las Vegas is so retarded. It was boring and there were not very many pretty people there. I don't know how I ever thought that that scene was cool. I used to think most of the people were so gorgeous. And honestly, it's not like the goth/industrial scene is so much better. I have very few friends in that scene by choice. I think most of them are wierdos anyway. May be I am just getting too old for scenes and subcultures. I can;t stop dancing to industrial every one in a while though. I fucking love it. I'll be doing that shit even when I'm 40 I think. This weekend should be great. I am going to Das Bunker friday, spending the night at Art's house. In the morning, we're gonna drive up to a camp spot past Santa Barbara and camp out and go wine tasting with my best friend and her husband. Sunday I'll come back and go on the speed boat with Donny in Laughlin til Wednesday. Friday I'll fly back out to New York. I am trying to fit in a few visits in between here but it's hard. So many people I want to see, but so little time. The thought of leaving here sucks but I do enjoy New York and will enjoy it more isnce it will be warm this time around. I have unfinished business out there with Stephanos and John (my FDNY guy). I have to call it quits with Stephanos. He always calls me up and makes me feel bad but it is not worth my time and I know this. I am not going to go to Vegas with him in May. I laughed so hard when he said he treats me like a queen the other day on the phone. What planet is he living on?!? I see him rarely and so he buys expensive dinners, so what? How is that treating me like a queen. Does he think I'm that stupid? If this is how men are, then I am happy to be single. Current Mood: content (2 Comments |Comment on this)

9:50 am	Coming back to Cali for a while and leaving in a few from New York. Lots of craziness in my life as usual. Going to Viva Las Vegas with Donny and all his hot pinup friends- Asia Devinyl, ect... I may be returning back to New York to work at Cornell the 20th. I have a lot of decisions to make. I am really irresponsible this year. I guess I earned it since being so responsible since college. Current Mood: contemplative (7 Comments |Comment on this)

2:15 am	Octo-Mom I left a comment on the mother of the octuplets website. Apparently she put up a website requesting donations for her 8 children. I think that yes, it's definitely a better idea to ask for donations rather than relying soley on welfare. Regardless, she will be getting medicaid and welfare all at the expense of responsible, tax payer's. She will be receiving tax payer's money for the next 18 years. She is fucking nuts and the doctor who implanted the embryos should have his MD license revoked! How unethical and irresponisible of the doctor/s involved. There needs to be a law passed with restrictions in-vitro fertilization if AND only if they need government assistance. Regulations should include psychiatric evaluation, number of pre-existing children, financial situation, ect... I think it's straight up child abuse for a single parent to have that many children. No one can take care of 14 children and work a full-time job. Plus, the lady needs a psych eval and is completely mentally ill and really shouldn't have any children at all. It's so upsetting! And the most upsetting part is that she will get total assistance from Californian's whether they like it or not. So wrong. Current Mood: irritated (2 Comments |Comment on this)
