[ 01:11 pm : An Announcement of Sorts]



Since my meager beginnings on Livejournal way back in 2000, I've rarely felt the need to place a friends only restriction on any of my posts. Rantings about religion, thoughts on those whose paths I've crossed, political opinions and the like...all were thrust into the public arena without a care in the world.

For the most part, that will remain the case. I'm a stubborn gal who speaks her mind and I've never been one to cater my viewpoints to the masses. Take me or leave me, as one rather clever individual once said.

However, as Livejournal grows, I've become increasingly aware of who can happen upon my little slice of the Internet. And, while I normally welcome the opportunity to meet new people and share my writing with whoever cares to read it, its become clear certain topics must remain under wraps.

Discretion is ever important as far as prying eyes are concerned.

As it stands now, if you're not on my friend's list you can read 85% or my posts or so. However, there are certain topics related to life and love that will not be made public.

So, depending on how much you care, you may want to make sure to hit that nice little "add" icon. Otherwise, enjoy.

[ 10:21 pm : Even broken, dumb penguins need love.]



Tuesday, Liam, Kelly, Brittany and I ventured to Norwalk for some good old fashioned aquarium adventures. It was good to get out of New York, what with it's constant rain. I'm not sure when the weather from Seattle was transported here but I will say that I'm getting quite sick of it.

However, it seems Connecticut is currently immune which is good as I was able to spend my day off in the sun with seals and penguins...

In other news, I'm not sure when my layout died or why. That's something to deal with another day though and perhaps when I feel like paying for an account again.

The Sunday before last, Casanova Frankenstein and the Disco Boys participated in Make Music NY.

Well....sort of.

Due to a disastrous generator malfunction (aka the rental of an old piece of crap with a faulty carburetor), the guys were only able to play a portion of two songs.

However, not all was lost. Some more notoriety was gained, free jello shots were had and a small boy will now terrorize his mother with his new found desire for a drum kit thanks to Liam.

Now, if only they could have played "Suck it" for all those wee children. I mean, what's more wholesome than a song about porn star vampires?

[ 09:34 pm : The Bathroom, it Has Your Best Interest in Heart]



I really would love to take a whole series of photos of the bar bathrooms in New Paltz for reasons such as the photo above.

However, I also have a feeling that most people become weary whenever someone walks towards a stall with a camera slung over her shoulder.

Perhaps Friday I'll start with Oasis. As I recall, it has the cheesiest drunk scribbles. I still mentally gag whenever I think of one: "Today is a gift, that's why its called the present."

Not at all like Snug's and its messages of how midgets are the perfect height for giving head.

[ 09:25 pm : Rock Out With Your Cock Out]



This past Friday was absolutely ridiculous in that fantastic, memorable sort of way. Casanova Frankenstein was playing a show and a handful of friends were out on the town for their last night in New Paltz.

With drink specials flowing, we all rocked out. There were fake battles and a seriously drugged out couple humping constantly on the floor.

Needless to say, it was amazing. I need to have more nights like that.

[ 11:59 pm : Random Thoughts...]

I. I was completed lied to this evening. Durex Freezable lubricant cubes are not, in fact, cubes. They're like half spheres. Severely disappointing. The box says I can write in for a refund and I might just because I was promised cubes not broken spheres.

They're currently chilling in the freezer so we'll see how well the other aspect of its name pans out.


II. I really don't get why there is all this hype around Megan Fox. She looks sort of like Angelina Jolie and starred in the god awful Transformers movie. Not really seeing the lust factor since if I wanted a Jolie look alike I'd go with the real deal and did I mention Transformers sucked? 'Cause it did.

However, I think her stupid tattoos are truly what turn me off. For example, inscribed along her side is this beautiful gem she penned herself:

there
once was
a little
girl who
never knew
love until
a boy
broke her
HEART

Really? No, seriously....really? Is the heart all in caps supposed to make it more epic and poignant?


III. This may only make sense to my fellow New Yorkers but most every asshole driver on the thruway from Monroe to my house is either from Jersey or gets off at the Newburgh exit. Sometimes they're that special combination of both.

Pretty much every time I drive home at night I get at least one of these drivers flashing their high beams at me since eighty miles per hour is apparently too slow for them to follow.

Usually I match their dick move with one of my own by purposely trapping them behind me and watching them freak out for the next few miles. It is not at all mature but I do take a perverse amount of pleasure in it.

I mean, you gotta unwind after a long day at Tar-jay one way or another.


IV. Speaking of the land of Bullseye, I have fantastic customer guest stories to share when I have more time and energy. One involves a lady returning a DVD player months ago only to just realize she left the only copy of her wedding DVD in it. Cue massive freak out and absolute inability to understand why we have no way of retrieving said DVD.

Good times were had all around.

All aboard the classy train. Liam will be your conductor today.

The two of us plus Ross went to see Electric Six at the Bowery Ballroom in NYC a few weeks ago. Sadly my camera's batteries died before they took the stage as someone ::cough::Mr.Classyupthere::cough:: borrowed it and forgot to charge it afterward.

However, I was able to capture the lead singer of the band, Dick Valentine, epically opening for himself with a side project entitled the Evil Cowards.

I didn't know that your boobies were booby-trapped )



In other news, I was very sad to not get my hands on some green tea mochi while in NYC. I <3 my mochi so hard.

However, I will be eating chocolate chip pancakes for dinner. They aren't quite as good as ice cream made by rabbits on the moon but it will have to do.

Once upon a time there was a girl known only as Hokuto who, for lack of a better word, was a mystery. Many knew not what to think of her and, for the most part, she was fine with that. Being unique was something she valued; she was a free spirit that never could be conformed or held back. Those she cared about most wouldn't have it any other way..

This journal is for any open minded individual who can deal with the rambles of an opinionated and mature young woman who's entries are as diverse as they come. Hers is an existence that is hardly ever normal but is nothing less than interesting.

Who knows, maybe one day she will even live happily ever after, as all those faery tales promise...

Specifics: My journal is best viewed with a 1024x768 resolution through a IE or Firefox browser, though there are enough subtle differences I can't seem to control to say it looks best in IE. I have absolutely no idea how it looks on other servers or monitors so I apologize if what you see now is utter crap. In fact, I wouldn’t be surprised if your corneas were burning out right now, simply from looking upon my journal. Don't worry though, I hear eyepatches are becoming high fashion items..

On a final note, it should go without saying that stealing from me would be a huge no-no. This layout took a massive amount of time and energy on my part, so one is advised to look but not touch. I think that’s quite understandable, don’t you?
