some of the things in this picture:
-my bed
-a fan
-lamp
-phone
-DVDs
-foot lotion
-bag of chips
-NY Times crossword puzzle (and my pencil because I don't do the puzzle in pen, no way)
-book of Rumi writing
-adobe indesign bible
-bottle of water
-tub of bag balm
-batteries
-a vibrator

this picture is a perfect example of the things I need to get through a night: lotion, books, crossword, food, bag balm (it's like vaseline but better!) water, and love.

10 essential CDs :
-grace, jeff buckley
-ok computer, radiohead
-exile in guyville, liz phair
-siamese dream, smashing pumpkins
-check your head, beastie boys
-joshua tree (or maybe rattle and rum), U2
-play, moby
-new adventures in hi-fi, rem
-being there, wilco
-august and everything after, counting crows

now clearly this isn't the END of essential CDs but it is a good start. If you don't own at least one of these CDs, I probably don't like you very much. And you know, I realized that I really MUST be a music snob because I don't know a lot about all types of music, just music that I like. I know a lot about the music I like. A person who wasn't a music snob and really liked music would know about all kinds of music, not just particular sorts. So I am an ill-informed music-loving snob. lucky for me, my taste in impeccable.

my new phone number in secret code:
-the first number is how many cats I have
-the second number is the age I moved to AZ with my family
-the third number is the amount of people who work in my office, plus 3
-the fourth number is how many times I've been arrested
-the fifth number is how many cities I've lived in (I am counting phoenix and tempe as one)
-the sixth number is how many storage units I am currently renting (nation-wide)
-the last number is how many sisters I have

this is a secret code that is relatively easy to crack, if you know me and read loafe. The area code is obvious, I live in Boston, duh--617. so if you can figure it out, you're "wicked smaht" and I kiss you.

07-16-01

top five hottest cities in america:
-Yuma, AZ
-Phoenix, AZ
-Las Vegas, NV
-Tucson, AZ
-Bakersfield, CA

Tucson is number four on the hottest city list, but Tucson has the highest rate of skin cancer in the country. Bet you didn't know that, huh? Tucson also rates number one in the worst local commercials, worst local newscasts, and least amount of black people.

search phrases you can find loafe with:
-sexy girls
-sexy girl
-super girl
-loafe
-sexy
-fucking michelle
-by chance each other it is beautiful
-loafe.com
-butterfly sugar baby
-sexy life

-reminds me of holden caulfield
-young girls getting fucked free

-woman plays sexy action with girl
-naked spring break pictures

I don't know how this happens. For some reason "sexy" brings up loafe in search engines. yahoo mostly I guess. I just don't know. Anyway, that's why I made that graphic that says "umm..where are the naked girls?" cause I figured that people doing searches for sexy girls would be looking for naked girls and I feel bad. some of these I wonder though..."fucking michelle"? "woman plays sexy action with girl"? I just don't know.

05-12-01
shoes I'm currently debating between:
-saucony grid shadow ("saucony. don't stop training")
-asics GT-2060
-mizuno wave alchemy

I can't decide. I am torn. they all feel great, they all are good companies, they all have gotten good reviews. and they're all the same price. each one has a different look, but they each look cool. the mizunos make my feet look reeeeeeeely small. like absurdly small. but they are so damn comfortable. I CAN'T DECIDE. how about everyone votes and whichever shoe gets the most votes is the shoe I'll buy. so come on kids! MAKE YOUR VOICE HEARD. vote today. help me. I need help. tell me what to do, what to buy, i can't decide.

Lines guaranteed to get neely in bed with you:
plus 10 red bull and vodkas
-If I told you, you had a nice body, would you hold it against me?
-If I told you, you were an angel, would you treat me like the devil tonight?
-Do you come here often?
-I like full bodied women.

this was neely's list. if you want to know a line guaranteed to get me in bed, I would have to say that i haven't had sex in a long time or even given a blow job either i forgot how i think.

ugliest (famous) men alive:
-steven tyler. my god. MY GOD. how can one person be so ugly? seriously.
-mick jagger. duh.
-rodney dangerfield. nothing can be done to help this man. well, except sweet sweet death.
-howard stern. fortunately for him, underneath his hideous exterior is an annoying unfunny jerk.
-mike tyson. goddamn he's ugly. and stupid. and ugly.
-michael jackson. umm. he confuses and scares me.
-weird al yankovic. possibly the least ugly of the bunch, but just barely. he makes me laugh sometimes. well, maybe three or four times total. okay, not really.
-gallagher. I was walking through boston common the other day and I saw gallagher. but then I realized a few seconds later it wasn't gallagher and I felt really really bad for the person. they look like gallagher without actually BEING gallagher. is there a worse fate? well, besides being gallagher.
-marilyn manson. he wears all that makeup and those crazy get-ups for a reason.
-burt reynolds. how on EARTH did anyone ever find him attractive? I don't get it.

you know, there are a lot of ugly guys. I think that steven tyler is the absolute ugliest though. I saw him on the cover of some magazine recently and I am in awe that he was a contributing member in the creation of Liv Tyler (who is most definitely not ugly) and boy isn't science and biology a mysterious thing?

-apple jacks
-raisin bran
-fruity pebbles (and not because pat hensley loved them, theresa)

people who win the award for biggest asshole ever:
-cjm

I had another name up there but I decided to take it off because really he doesn't bother me anymore and he isn't the biggest asshole ever although he sure wasn't a very nice guy to me, no matter what stupid rationalizations he tried to feed me or himself.

02-14-01
dumbest holidays ever:
-duh. valentine's day. and if you call me bitter and jealous and lonely, I punch you in the nuts.
-all the other holidays, for the most part, but I do like getting days off of work and/or school.

I am sure I'd love valentine's day if it were a paid holiday or something. also, it was so funny walking around today, cause there are usually all these street vendors with flowers, all the days, not just today, but because it was valentine's day it was funny as there were guys (mostly guys, maybe one or two girls) just swarmed around the little carts, desperate, waving money, shouting, stressed and insane. what sort of holiday about love has people acting all annoyed and irritated and pressured? how is that fun? how is that special? I don't get it.

02-12-01
books purchased at barnes and noble over the weekend:
-hunts in dreams by tom drury

-four pack of tuna fish (tuna is the only seafood I will eat and tuna isn't even seafood)

presents i got from fargo and chococat:
-this supercool water fountain thingie
-a simpsons calendar
-candles
-a few books
-some yellow cereal bowls
-cool plastic cups with stars all over them
-candy
-a hairdryer and diffuser (which is a really funny gift because my kitties know that me blow-drying my hair is about as likely as ... something very very unlikely)

I don't think that was all of the presents. they bought me a lot of stuff, they love me very much. oh, and also, my cute boyfriend who loves me very much and who is also rich, he bought me a new car for christmas and on christmas morning when we woke up, he took me outside and surprised me with it and we laughed and he hugged me and he said "I love you christa" and it was just like in the lexus commercials. also, he bought me like all these diamonds and stuff, because diamonds are forever, and it was just like in the debeers commercials.
