AH, the old LJ. why do i forget you so easily??
funny reading my last post, and my projected date of next post, which i had believed to be march or april, and now here we are, almost June. whatevs.
happenings:
--nothing has changed on the job front. except i've gotten busier! which is a good good thing. roll those patients in people! still not really full time yet, which makes my schedule quite nice, and i'm getting a little spoiled by it, but trying to enjoy it while it lasts. working only about 32 hours a week has it's perks. --jenny ally eileen and i are all meeting up in chicago in about 1.5 months, which is exhilarating. --i went to the beach for awhile in march with some friends from highschool, and it was a serious blast. a nice long stay on a secluded beach, the water at your doorstep practically. it was much needed and hopefully will happen once a year from now until eternity. also, if anyone is ever up for going in on a timeshare somewhere, like a nice little beachside bungalow in mexico or florida, let me know!! it's something i really want to do when i get the money. --nowadays, i've been decorating my house, furniture hunting, thrift shopping, refurbishing shit. i made a ship-in-a-bottle which was cool. doing a lot of record shopping, finding great new music, running into a lot of people who i used to know a lot way back when, and finding out something major has changed about them, like they're gay now, or they have 3 kids, or no leg or something. that's been entertaining. kinda makes me actually want to go the highschool reunion in a way. --been dating a couple guys here and there. having horrible and lovely experiences. getting a lot of acupuncture to calm my poor nerves. i'm not a good dater i've found out. not surprised either.
i realize this is such a boring post, i guess i'm just leading a pretty stable life here in atx. trying to be normal. obviously succeeding. yay! |

i am fully aware that i'm doing approximately one post on LJ every four months. that's a 1:4 ratio of posts to months.
i have gotten a new macbook, and hopefully will be more resolute in updating here. but i always say that, and the 1:4 ratio never seems to improve.
xmas was good in austin. got the new computer and some new artwork i've been wanting, and some new books...and i found a perfect new couch after months of searching. so that was an xmas present to myself. i also spoke with eileen recently, which was very cool cause i thought our friendship had fallen off the face of the earth. or more that she had. but she has not--she sounds very good in fact! i also just got approved for my first credit card, all by myself. which is a big deal cause i've never had any form of credit card at all. (you may ask, how have you gotten this far without a CC??) and now i jump into the world of putting oneself into debt and then trying to crawl out month by month. work is going well. getting more patients slowly but surely. still trying to figure out all i need to do to make sure i have a legitimate small business. (if anyone knows of a good book on this subject, please do tell!) there is just so much to do!! it's ridiculous. it's like, i finally think i have everything figured out for the moment and i can rest, and then someone casually says "oh, i'm just renewing my malpractice insurance"..and i'm like, FUCK! I have GOT to get malpractice insurance!! and then it starts all over again...that's just one of many examples.
anyway, happy new year!! happy holidays! talk to you in 07. (realistically, i'm projecting march..or april) :)

So i figure i should tell everyone about my crazy month this august. it has been, simply, action-packed. let me make the list:
1) Patrick Hansen from BU comes to visit me in Austin on a road trip cross-country. we have a great weekend, lots of fun and i can't believe my eyes, he has lost weight due to an outdoor adventure job, no more "i have drank too many beers and now have a moonface"--hooray! 2) Kickpleat has our first benefit fashion show, huge success, huge turnout. hours upon hours of preparation for about 5 minutes of delivery, but well worth it. and i got to try out my runway feet. kinda shaky, but we're good. 3) I get a new job with a great clinic in town. Remedy Center for the Healing Arts. As Acupuncturist/Chinese Herbalist. will be the second acupuncturist addition to the group, the woman who owns the clinic is acupuncturist #1. everyone there is amazing, i'll get overflow clients from the owner, and networking referrals from the others in the group, who are: chiropractor, massage therapist, psychotherapist, naturopathic dr. Yay! it actually feels like i have a sort of career going on here. i think i may be on my way to adulthood. which is scary crazy. 4) Lucky magazine decides to do a 4 page spread on Kickpleat. yes sir, i shall be gracing the pages of Lucky in the Nov. issue. Look for it! (the story is all about the store and my boss, the owner, and her fabulous life in Austin, which includes working with ME, so i got to be in the shoot. ) entire makeup and hair crew flew in from LA, got to meet the editor of Lucky who basically runs the whole magazine. and got some very inside gossip on celebrities i've been wondering about recently. how did nicole richie get so damn skinny?? i know. AND it's going to be AMAZING press for cozy KP. 5) Leaving next week for Jackson Hole, WY, where i will breathe fresh, cool air, ride horses, hike, fish, swim, eat fabulously, and stay at the Four Seasons for nine days. 6) i also have done a lot of work on my house, created and hung new vintage family pictures, new paintings from china, got a fab new lamp from ebay. and hired a housekeeper to clean the whole place upside down, all for 30 bucks. shit looks good!
well, that's me, now. hoping this trend of great big things will continue to last through september. the stars are aligned. or better, they have been. i'm well aware that things could change for the worse at any time. .

and someone just brought this to my attention:
A Juggalo is a fan of the Detroit rap group, Insane Clown Posse (ICP).
The group invented a mythology in which the term "Juggalo" means "a follower of The Dark Carnival", as explained on their album, Legacy. Group member Violent J explained the term's origins in the ICP documentary, Behind the Paint, saying that during a live performance of "The Juggla" from the Carnival of Carnage album, he had spontaneously addressed the audience: "What about you Juggalo? Are there any Juggalos in here?", and the name stuck. He also said in the 2002 Wraith seminar that he does not like the word because many people think that it only refers to the male fanbase; it in fact refers to all fans, male or female. Regardless, some prefer the term "Juggalette" to refer to members of the female fanbase.[citation needed]
The Juggalo community (also referred to as the Juggalo Family) started up in the early 1990s. As seen in other subcultures, from parallels in music came parallels in interests, style, and slang. The subculture is racially diverse, and racial tolerance is emphasized. Painting one's face in the style of the members of Insane Clown Posse has been referred to as the unofficial membership badge.[citation needed]
Because of a perceived connection with gang violence, many younger members of the subculture are prohibited from wearing ICP paraphernalia while at school.
Also characteristic of the Juggalo subculture is a devotion to the inexpensive soft drink Faygo, popularized by ICP
i saw a juggalo in person yesterday, at a movie theater in line to see the new Xmen:The Last Stand, it was riveting (the juggalo, not the film). he truly fit the profile. he was also with what may have been a juggalette.
people can be so mesmerizing. for better or worse.
and then i saw this (below) on ILM, a thread written about ICP and how bad they sucked, people were making fun of them etc etc...and a juggalo responds with harsh words:
What I think it means to be a juggalo. Being a juggalo means more than juss wearing ICP shirts and buyin the cds. Its stickin up for who you are. i mean check this shit out for an example. if a 2pac fan sees another 2pac fan gettin they ass beat they juss shrug it off and say "glad i ain't that guy" but on the other hand a juggalo sees another juggalo gettin whooped then they jump in there and help out family. if one juggalo gets hurt its effects everyone. but like lets say a 2pac fan dies then you know they don't do shit. but i mean i was new to where i live now, and i was a juggalo when i moved here, i had no friends knew nobody. on that first day of school i had over 20 friends. juss because they liked the same shit. i mean that right there is helping people out. if you don't think it is i don't know what the hell you are thinkin. i mean yeah when i get made fun of i get down. but my juggalo family is there to pick me up. its like a real true ass blood related family. i get MORE love from juggalo family than from my real family. ive never had any more friends than i do now. i love being a juggalo and never do regret it. i think being a juggalo is the best thing in the world. ICP and the WHOLE Psychopathic family has brought me alot of good shit in my life. I have earned so much respect from being a juggalo. I used to be a whimpy little kid that used not to stand up for himself but now that i am a juggalo ICP in there lyrics has taught me how to do it. but there is like 3 stages to a juggalo. stage one is the begining it is when you first become a juggalo. you don't know what the fuck is goin on and this is all new light to you. step two is when you finally realize what the hell you are now and what family is to you. you start collecting cds and merchandise. stage three a TRUE juggalo. you now go to shows and go to instores and everything to do with Psychopathic Records. then you actually know what the hell is goin on and now it is coming through to you for what you are and why you converted to being a juggalo. that is my perspective on being a juggalo. those are my words to new juggalos old juggalos young juggalo every juggalo. Thank you family to take the time to read this. MUCH CLOWN LOVE Juggalo Mike
oh. dear. |

i've been offered a job! and i didn't even have to ask!
details: working at a skin care/health/apothecary called Sabia, which is beautuful/bright/peaceful etc and whose owner has always wanted an acupuncturist to work there. she is going to promote me and refer patients to me for acupuncture facelifts, and i'm totally free to bring in my own patients for acupuncture/herbal consults/facelifts or whatever! she told me to design my IDEAL working situation, and she would try to provide whatever i need/want! so does this seem like the perfect deal or what? we have a meeting on monday and i'm sure i'll discover the catch then.
*** also, this lady who shops at my work occasionally, she must be over 60 years old, but totally hot for her age and moves like a dancer....she called my boss this week just to tell her how cute she thinks i am....and just now, she calls me at work to ask what i'm doing tonight!!! "well, i have tickets to the symphony, and i'm just so lazy i don't even want to go anymore, i mean, if i had someone who wanted to go with me, maybe i'd be a bit more excited, so....what are you doing tonight? i'd just like to know what you do on a saturday night?" i can't believe a 60 yrold woman wants to date me. |

ok, hello?, here i am again..... sometimes i forget about LJ, and then someone reminds me....and so here we go.
--i graduated from school in december, finally. now have a Masters of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine. --took a trip to NY in december as well, upon where i lost my cellphone the first day i was there, and had no way or means of getting in touch with ANYONE i had plans to see :(, it was sad......but i had a wonderful time doing wonderful things despite this, and will simply have to plan another trip to see the people i couldn't last time. --had a stellar NYE...yeah 2006! --i'm trying to decide where i want to practice acupuncture in austin, how i want to practice, and what i can afford to rent office-wise. i already have clients lined up for acupuncture facelifts out the arse, and patients wanting to schedule appts. but i don't even have my license yet!! i feel like i'm getting completely rushed into this, whereas i really just want to take time off, sleep, read, eat, exercise, and sit in the sunshine. where is my post-grad. vacation??? --jacob and i are seeing eachother again.....he fessed up to cheating on me in the beginning of our relationship, years and years ago, and then also at the end of the relationship, just before we broke up......some of you may know of his history of being extremely promiscuous before we got together, i guess those habits are hard to break. ANYWAY, we were broken up for about 7 months officially, he dated this one girl for a short while, i had a few dates with a few guys.....hated all of them. he seems very changed now, grown up finally: he has almost stopped smoking, he has gotten a cellphone, he has given me a key to his apt, he has told me so many things i thought he would never tell me...maybe too much. he seems he has undergone some sort of transformation (i guess it can happen for some people),but it's been good. we'll see what happens. we really want to work things out, and we are trying, he is really trying, i'll give him that. but will it ever make up for it? this is the question. --i've made some new friends, they are cool. it's bizarre, i always think people don't want to be my friend, or don't like me for some reason, and i get completely anxious and shy...then come to find out they were intimidated by me or didn't know what to say to introduce themselves....perhaps my self-esteem in low. (?) --i'm at work and have to close up, so this is it, for now.

today we had two local celebrities come in the store. 1. the less interesting of the two, and a huge bitch as well, so i will stop there. 2. maybe the hippest lesbian in the nation, or at least in austin hands down. owns the coolest hotel in austin and also the coolest establishment in Marfa, TX (the recently developed West Tx artist community town that reeks of hipness). she has her entire staff in marfa outfitted by Wendy from Built by Wendy. she has good taste out the butthole, and her hotel here has been the architectural object of my desire for many years.
i want to go to marfa. ally this place has your name all over it. yo la tengo gave a free concert there last month, in this art gallery, and it was apparently awesome.
on another note: i was on the other side of this conversation recently and need advice (and yes, i am exploiting the person's feelings on LJ...what?):
him: I can give you time sarah, I am not going anywhere, one thing that has not changed at all is my love for you except that it is stronger, if time is what you need, then I will give you all that you need, but just know that I will be here waiting and if you want me I am yours, completely, totally honestly yours. him: you just have to come to me him: I'm sorry him: I'm sorry him: I'm sorry giving up is not the answer him: we are meant for each other, him: no matter him: what I have done i believe that
so, do you believe him??? this is the question. talk amongst yourselves.

i woke up today and immediately had a crazy panic attack. i had no idea what day it was for about 20 minutes. it was almost 9 am, and i was sitting up in bed, no glasses, dirty hair, feeling like there was cat hair in my mouth...and freaking out because i had no idea what to do or what time i needed to be there. was it monday...and i had class at 9:30? was it wednesday, and i had class at 8:20? or did i have work?? was i late for tai chi?? Dr. Ma is gonna hate me.....then i remembered, it is Sunday, my least busy day, and i don't have to work until noon. and then i cried. i really don't know why, it was just that all of a sudden i realized i could get a couple more hours of sleep, and that i wasn't letting anyone down by being late or missing class or any of it. and i had time to shower, and get tea and muffin, and do things i need to do before work. it was like everything slowed down for me, and i could breathe and sleep, and relax. i've been studying so much for my last board exam on saturday, and haven't had a day off in forever. maybe i need one.

| » ACL OR DIE!...umm, no. |
so rita was a total let down for austin. i mean, we didn't even get one tiny drop of rain, or one mildly strong gust of wind around here. i'm guessing all those people who ran to HEB for gallons of water, batteries, flashlights, and canned food are pretty pissed. instead, we had the hottest, balmiest, sunniest, clearest weekend of the month perhaps. the ACL festival went on full swing, and thousands of drunks got to melt in the sun for hours on end to hear mainstream music while packed in like sardines around one of about six different stages in zilker park. that does not say "fun" to me, but maybe i'm a cynic. i've never seen so many people wearing the exact same straw hat in one place. and i wasn't even there, really..i was just driving by one day. not that i don't like mainstream music, i do like some, and it wasn't ALL totally mainstream, i mean, that's what ACL specializes in: stuff that's too big to be called "indie" or "obscure", but too small to really be called "mainstream"...yet. Spoon, the Arcade Fire, Wilco, Death Cab, Franz Ferdinand...you know, stuff that is mostly good, but you hear it all the time. and everybody's talking about it. they've all been on letterman or leno. which is fine, good even. let's just say, i don't enjoy outdoor music festivals for the most part, especially when there are more than one or two bands playing in one day. i prefer to be comfortable while listening to music i adore, to be able to really hear it, really feel like i'm experiencing it closely...more intimate settings, with seats preferably. and climate control. and proper dress.
yeah.

so, i just finished reading this book "Pledged: the secret life of sororities". this shit is crazy ya'll, and i'm from texas.
who knew? well, now we all do i guess.
one of my personal favorites from the book:
"My house was the king of eating disorders"...True to another popular urban legend, plumbers had to come to Brooke's sorority house at least once a month to clean out the pipes, which would be clogged with vomit. (An alarming number of girls from other sororities and other schools told me that the plumber was a frequent visitor to their houses for the same reason.)...A recent midwestern Gamma Phi Beta alumna said her sisters "used to have puking contests after dinner."
yeah, the whole book is just filled with little bits of secret info like that. it's disgusting, but irresistable.

have not updated in, like, forevah.
* a couple nights ago, fratboy bulldozed my front lawn with his 4runner at 2 am. busted down and killed my tree, ran over my table and chairs and potted plants in the lawn, pushed an explorer up onto the grass from the street, and left it all for me to clean up. well, i called him and told him to clean it up. so he did. and then he asked me on a date. i think he is crazy.
* cut my hair. very aeon flux now. but with waviness.
* my mom has singlehandedly organized a salvation army drop off for the neworleans folks who are slowly but surely pouring into the city out of her office. been volunteering there--it's chaotic and horrible and heartbreaking. and hopeful.
* bought great new dress for upcoming fashion show.
* dance off party last night was killer. sweating profusely and calves cramping. in 3 inch heels no less. gotta love it. came to realization that i prefer dancing alone, not with a group of friends. it feels more liberating dancing alone for some reason.
* i miss a few people. like ally, eileen, jeremy, peter, jaime. what are you guys doing?
* at work now. about to get off. listening to coldplay of all bands. and loving it. does that make me a geek?

what am i going to do with my life?!?! specifically, what the hell am i going to do after i graduate?! guys, i have NO IDEA what i want! do i want to move away again? do i want to rent out space and treat patients here? where do i want to move? to NY? that's the only place where i have family and friends, and that seems appealing right now. but it's such a big move. and i don't have any money yet. and i haven't got a job lined up. it would be easy to start practicing here, but i'm not really ready to do that yet. i really want to take a trip...to the Yucatan, oaxaca...or maybe greece, crete maybe. i feel like i cannot go on without a break. this school has worn me out for the most part, and i need to clear my head for awhile before i begin to dive into treatment. but where will i get this money? i also need a new computer, a new bike, and a massage table-- which all cost hundreds of dollars.
i feel as if i'm in crisis. help.

today i walked into wet concrete, and just stood there like, oh no--this did not just happen. i finally got out of it, stood on the sidewalk and looked down at my shoes. my nice black flats covered in grey concrete, looking like bricks instead of fashionable footwear. and this doctor walks by and says, "don't worry, you are free. i did not see it, sarah. come now, come now....i did not see."
and so i spend my lunch washing off my shoes, and occasionally glancing at the wet slab of concrete that no one has noticed or paved over yet...where my three footprints still lie like scars on the smooth, glistening surface. but it's okay, cause i am "free." and hey, maybe it will dry like that and i will finally have my mark on this place...FOREVER
