So I'm pretty excited. Went in for a consult on Friday 6 June for a consultation on my tattoo. I'm looking forward to getting it when I can. I want to save up enough so I can give a really good tip so I'll have to start doing that saving thing. It's a bit more difficult than I want it to be. Lol.

I'm also looking at Katalist Konsepts' Manic Mondays as a big possibility for my second one. I just hope they'll be continuing those through July or August when I can afford to do it. Jen and I are still working on the design though so it's a bit of a pain in the ass. Ah well. I'm really really excited to start the process. It'll be nice to have my computer with Photoshop back so I can start picking out photos for my Beatles portraits. I haven't decided if I want to get all four of them or just John and Paul, or maybe just John and go really heavy on the detail. All of those would have a special sort of meaning to me.

For right now though I'm just waiting out this week till I get paid. That will do very nicely. Looks like about two hundred, which is about fifty more than usual. Thank God. I need the money desperately.

Jen and I have been talking for a while about a trip to Washington so we can visit her family. It's looking like the best plan thus far is to rent a car if we can. But that's the thing. Since I'm not twenty one, let alone twenty five, I may be fucked on that, and if there's only one of us driving it's hardly worth it because it'll take us at least two, maybe three days to get there. Which blows. So. Yeah.

Anyway. That's it for now, I just hadn't posted on this thing in a long time.

The competition was this weekend. And it was amazing. All FOUR of my events were on Saturday though, which was really crazy. There was drama (including tears! Aren't you all excited. Yes I cried).

First, at 11.20, was my spins event. I finished choreographing that about two weeks ago. I competed against Sharon, who rocks my socks. <3 I got first in that one, which actually amazed me.

Mum got first in her spins event, too. Jen got second in her compulsories event. All told we had a pretty great time.

That was the morning. Ha.

Then at one thirty, I had my dramatic program. I skated to a medley of "Golden Slumbers"/"Carry That Weight"/"The End". I love that program. It's too fun. (I hope it looks good on the video.) I placed second, behind Sharon, who I believe may have skated to Neil Diamond. In third was a girl named Emerald.

Then I actually had a whole two hours to wait. Oh wow. Stopped at the dollar store and picked up some temporary tattoos (which lingered on my arms till this morning) for my light program.

My light program was at 4.35. I skated to this amazing song by this artist that, you know, is only one of my best friends ever. Hahahaha. The song is called "I Knew You'd Love Me Too" and it's basically the best. I wore my new 1964 T-shirt and some stretch jeans. And um. The best spiked collar ever, and the temporary tattoos, and awesome red sunglasses. And I'm babbling. I hope Jimmy likes the video.

I placed second in my light, behind a girl named Stephanie, who skated to a medley of "Someday My Prince Will Come" and "Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!". Her routine was amazing. In third was Amber who skated to "Hairspray".

Then came the Drama.

So, I knew it was going to be a problem, but I didn't know how much of one. I knew I would have to do a quick change after my light into my costume for the duet. But I thought I would be able to get pictures done in my light costume.

So I went back to awards, waited for a long time, then found out my placement. We waited for the longest time for the other girls to show up and then I realised that OH MY GOD I had to be on the ice in like fifteen minutes.

I ran out, told the gate monitor what was going on. I thought that since we had been holding off events for kids ALL WEEKEND, I was going to have a chance to change.

Ran back to Awards, asked them to please postpone our photos, and ran back out.

They had put my warmup group on the ice without me!!

Ran into the bathroom, got my skates off, got my pants off, got my other pants on, and then realised I had to put my sweater on and take off my collar and shit. So I did that, all the while crying and cursing up a storm (it was real ladylike. Fo shizzle). I made my mum really mad because I wouldn't stop bitching about them putting my group on without me. Got into my costume and into my skates (ouch, they were SO tight. They hurt like hell) while Mike and Dalaine (the first skaters, and our only competition) were on the ice, doing their program, and then I had to RUN out to get on the ice.

Got out to our position and got through the routine, I GUESS. I have no idea how it went, other than that I totally buggered up my first jump. Everything else went great, I guess... because Jen and I ended up in first! It was awesome!! I felt so out of it after that though.

So then I went back to Awards, got my light program photo done (in the wrong pants, what the hell) and waited for our results. That's when I found out that we'd gotten first. I was so pleased. We had an amazing time.

God I'm exhausted though.

Then on Sunday I judged the whole time.

As I said, I'm so excited to get the video (and give people copies. OMG seriously).

I got a bunch of really nice compliments on several things. It was really cool. I love hanging out with skaters sometimes.

And yesterday my mum said I should skate at Colorado Springs Invitational. So I guess I will be skating there. That will be fun. I'm working on music for a NEW routine. Aaagh! Too much work, haha.

So yes. There's my weekend. Hope you enjoyed reading THAT.

Wow, that was pretty scary today. Apparently a tornado touched down just east of Fort Collins-- we live on the northeastern edge of town. It happened at around 1.00pm.

I'm worried about Laura and Kyla and their family; if either of you guys read this please contact me. Love you guys. I sent out a text midday to make sure everyone was alright and there were only a couple people I didn't hear from; they were probably busy but I'm a bit of an alarmist. And by alarmist I mean pussy.

If you want a glimpse into what means the world to me, have a look at this list of what I brought down to our makeshift shelter with me today.

Animals!
Two cats, one dog. Their respective food. The cat litter (for which we made a sort of Habitrail).

The musical instruments:
1. My Rickenbacker.
2. Jen's Gibson.
3. Mum's Rickenbacker.
4. Dad's Martin.
5. Dad's Framus banjo.

Computer stuff:
1. My laptop, cord, et cetera.
2. Jen's laptop, cord, tablet, et cetera.
3. My portable DVD player.
4. Mum's iPod Nano.
5. My iPod.
6. An assload of CD-Rs, of which I used ONE.
7. An assload of DVDs (including "Snakes On A Plane", "Dogma", and a few others. Not "Twister").

Appliances:
1. Electric kettle.
2. Wonderful lovely hot plate.

Food:
1. An assload of ramen.
2. Frozen fruit.
3. Mango concentrate.
4. Pina Colada concentrate.
5. Ice.
6. An assload of water.
7. Bread, tortillas.
8. Peanut butter.
9. Honey.

For the love of God, save the booze!!:
1. Tequila.
2. Gran Gala.
3. Curacao.
4. Lime vodka.

Swords:
1. Mum and dad's wedding sword.
2. Dad's katana.

Sentimental value stuff:
1. White Album John photo.
2. Photo of me and Jimmy.
3. Box made for me by my friend Howard.
4. Literally YEARS of skating photos.
5. My Pinball Wizard costume.

So, yes. That's that. I'm glad everyone is okay, and as I said earlier on, if things like this happen again, my basement is open to as many as will fit. I love all you guys and want everyone to be safe.

Simply put, there is nothing I can say about John Lennon that hasn't been said already, a thousand times. I wouldn't presume to try. All I can and will say is that though he may not always have been a hero in the most classical sense, he is, and will always remain, my hero. No one else could ever be the person John Lennon was. He was completely and totally unique. A fractured person, but in essence a good one, he will remain a larger-than-life personality for centuries. He was one of the best writers of our time, or any time. No one can ever take that away from us, though he himself may have been taken much too soon. There will always be room for John Lennon in our culture, though his detractors may say otherwise; people like him don't just fade away. And that's a good thing. It's only proper.

Without further ado, I humbly present my tribute to John Lennon.

--------------------

As soon as you're born they make you feel small... but I won't be afraid. When the sun shines they slip into the shade... but I'll be back again.

Yes I'm lonely... and though the news was rather sad, well I just had to laugh. "One and one and one is three; got to be good looking 'cause he's so hard to see."

Lay down all thought, surrender to the void-- love is the flower; you've got to let it grow.

She said "you don't understand what I said"; she said that living with me was bringing her down.

In the middle of the night I call your name, but you're not there.

No one I think is in my tree... but you can keep them for the birds and the bees. If she's gone, I can't go on... feeling two foot small.

I can hardly express my mixed emotions and my thoughtlessness... half of what I say is meaningless, but all we are saying is give peace a chance.

You tell me that you've heard every sound there is; you say you want a revolution. Nowhere man, can you see me at all?

I'll tell you something; so many days you've passed me by, but I've told you before, you can't do that.

Is there anybody going to listen to my story? All I want is the truth. It's been a hard day's night. Hold me? Love me? Whatever gets you through the night.

Julian,

You misread this message to You. you allowed the comment from "peggy"-- the rude, disparaging comment that she posted about the sad ant being dead-- and not a really quite lovely comment about her Ant from Tammy who only wanted to thank you and share her feelings.

I write this because a friend of mine lost her pet and you were rude to her for no reason. Yeah, an ant is a strange pet to have, but that's no reason to make fun-- imagine if her cat had died, would you have been so quick to dismiss her in that case? It seems the only mistake my friend Tammy made was to mention the species of her pet in a very nice comment to you, letting you know she liked your music, et cetera et cetera.

There will never be peace, Julian, if we can't learn to accept others' beliefs and take a compliment for what it is.

Hmmm. This has been a strange week. I'm a little spastic and upset because currently my car is in the shop; I think someone tried to break into it last night, because the weather strippy... thingy... you know, the thing just outside the window, was lifted up when I went to get in my car to take it to the mechanic's this morning. What the hell, people? No. I live in a good neighbourhood-- my neighbours are old people and a GM of an Albertson's, or something like that... who the hell would be breaking into my God damned Camaro?

Yeah, I'm a little pissed, can you tell?

Anyway. It's been okay, for the most part-- my week-- as my mother took the week off work (my parents' anniversary was 2 July). I like hanging around with my mum. We did some little trivial shopping-things, and just had fun. I also got to play with a cute little Jack Russell Terrier on the fourth-- that was fun. I love them.

Right now... I am busily copying CDs so I can keep fewer CD cases in my damned car. There are like eleven of them in there right now, and I have a couple with me right now. It's possible that my car will be fixed today... possibly tomorrow.

And now I think I must cook. Damn.

So let your hair down
And go on and cry!

Oh man. So, lately, I've been really into this musical I saw when I was seven-ish-- "Forever Plaid". It's amazing. I adore it. Haha, tomorrow's going to see the real lameness of me: I'm going to be sitting in my car waiting for Demo Team to start... listening to musical soundtracks. Great freakin' way to get pumped for some action. Haha. Quite seriously, though, that's how I plan to spend my afternoon. Usually it's System Of A Down or, lately, Dane Cook... but not tomorrow. Tomorrow it's The Plaids or nothing.

Yes, I am well aware that I am lame. But if anyone wants the story of why I'm desperately in love with "Forever Plaid", all they have to do is ask, and I'll tell them why. It's not realy that long a story, it's just very emotional for me. Which is strange, but I try to be as honest with myself as I can... and "Forever Plaid" is really my musical. I... it's a comedy but just listening to it makes me want to cry. Memories, partially. But it's mostly this totally fucking wild love for the story and the characters (particularly Sparky).

Anyway. I'm going to bed soon, I think. But I wanted to post because Hope pointed out that I hadn't in a while. Yes, I will be at class tomorrow.

Ahhhh. Off to drown myself in music.

For anywhere you are is Shangri-La!

... Sometimes I don't know what I'm thinking.

But really that's beside the point. Hope, when you read this, sorry I didn't call back; we ended up not movie-ing (and my parents were all fussy over it), and I ended up falling asleep. So that's why I didn't answer my phone. Anyway, I just wanted to get that out there 'cause I felt like an idiot. Ha. But there you go.

Think I should write a bit tonight or tomorrow.
