talking on the phone to jessikah looking through and sharing our old journal entries. we are like 13 years girls. i went back to 2007 and realized nothing much happened when i was with justin but misery. i am in a much better place now and i love my friends.

i might be back. i can't use facebook or myspace to really say what i want without being judged. i guess here i don't really care if anyone is reading, i am just venting to myself.

with jason schwartzman....
i love is new band (which is just him) Coconut Records.
and seeing as he is in a a few wes anderson movies, i have been in the mood to watch them all. i recently watched the darjeeling limited. it was freaking great. woo!

so i am back at the picture people and also cleaning houses a few times a week.
i am volunteering as a mentor for an org called youth in focus (helping teens with photography stuff).
i am still in school and its going alright.
and the biggest news............

i am getting MARRIED TOMORROW!

crazy, right? woo!

so i am in va right now and i leave monday afternoon to return to my regularly scheduled life as a wife.

and in other big news.....i saw hanson the other night in richmond. its was a blast. i love HANSON!

good day.

the new job is going ok. a little stressful, but that is what being a manager gets you.
at least i still get to take pictures.

school is going ok.

the wedding is in 4 months.

Fizzgig passed friday morning. I took him to the hospital and found out he had several tumors in his intestines. Rats are known for trying to stay strong and not show weakness til they absolutely can't anymore. I found him weak and barely able to move at about 6 in the morning and he passed around noon. He tried so hard to fight it. I miss him. It feels very weird to not see his cage now.

not much to say or not much about a lot i guess.....

picture people shut down the northgate store-no job
karla got transfered as store mgr at southcenter (which is closer to my home) but she is overstaffed and can't bring me back on yet.

i was deathly ill for the entire week i was without a job til the start of my new one at STARBUCKS!

its been two weeks now on and it is ok so far. it sucks to be without pay for two weeks, payday tomorrow woo!

wedding plans coming along i guess, with out money yet to purchase said plans.

i start school again in a few weeks.

i am stage manager of a play for a seattle theatre company.

in recent traggic events i am terribly upset that i cannot be home with my friends, especially those that attend and have attended va tech.

i am sure there is more to say, or i'm not sure. but that's it for now. a vague attempt to update all of you live journal folks.

also...Louise gave me a beer and nicole made me a pb&j sandwich.

WOO! awesome night.

so my cell phone screen is busted. i need everyone's numbers again. email me contact info at emeraldfarie@hotmail.com

i know things change. we have to accept change even when its not what we expected. i have made some big changes that needed to be made over the last year. others that should have changed haven't, so i must change them to make things better.

i see better things ahead. i just need to push forth the effort.

i just ate a lot of cookies. not sure how many just know that i couldn't stop. while they are good...i feel ill now.

despite of everything i complain about, i really do have a great life (ahead of me). i can make things happen for myself. things are happening, maybe not at the speed i would like them, but its happening. leaving for seattle was one of the biggest steps i could take to make my life going in a better direction. this year has been rough readjusting my situation(s). i am completely ready for my life to take another big step. i have never been more ready. this needs to happen. i am being patient.

i will be buying my plane tickets for va on fri. i will be flying out th 5th of nov and flying back here on the 13th of nov. i have never planned something so quickly before. but i had to move my trip up because of black out at work. i am an assistant mgr so i have to be available and no requests off are allowed. to my advantage, my uncle is for sure that the baby will be born by the time i get there. i was so scared i would move my trip up and my aunt wouldn't have had the baby til after i leave. so hopefully all goes well and i am able to see the baby.

i talked to my sister last night and her and her husband will be coming up to visit his parents in dec (they live here in wa close to seattle) for josie's b-day. i haven't seen chris and courtney since their wedding 4 years ago. and i have not yet seen the kids. its going to be exciting.

and btw way for va folks i will be djing again at chords when i come back. tuesday the 7th with my new friend scott. shall rock. come out and see us.

mostly this is for ratspy because he has a rat too.

this is my little baby fizzgig.
i love him.

yup...yesterday just felt like any other day off. go me. and today i feel even worse.


thanks to those who said happy birthday to me. wish you could be here to cheer me up.

my birthday is tomorrow. i feel pathetic and lonely. if i was in va i would be kicking it with amazing people. here not so much. no one knows me or cares enough to celebrate with me. i feel lame asking my co workers and basically begging them to come to my birthday party that i am throwing for myself. which, all of, two people are coming to. i guess i really don't need to celebrate or whatever, but it would be nice. maybe i am just missing old home at the moment. looks like i am baking myself a cake too. woo.


go me.

here are some photos from my trip to va. i am in the process of putting them on my flickr. when that is done i will link it so you can see more.

monday night was one of the most amazing nights of my life. being a huge fan for a number of years now to slowdive....i saw the band they formed after slowdive broke up, mojave 3. founded by rachel goswell of slowdive, neil and ian of slowdive joined her to make more beautiful sounds. sadly rachel is very ill and couldn't tour with them. after the show i went over to the merch table to get a poster and i saw ian. he and a couple of the other guys of the band signed my poster, but i wanted to meet neil really bad. the place was kicking people out and neil still hadn't come back upstairs. ian decided to just take me back stage to meet neil. i got him to sign my poster and i talked to him for a quick min. i had no idea what to say. i wanted to ask about rachel and didn't. so anyway, me being a dork and star struck i said "it was very nice to finally meet you" and he said "i'm glad you enjoy our music" i gave him a qick hug and he kissed me on the cheek. yay!!! most awesome night ever!!! he and rachel are huge musical influences to me. mojave 3 is an awesome band, but slowdive was the beginning.

i had a fun weekend last weekend in fredericksburg. uncomplicated, for the most part drama free, didn't let things that sucked bother me......and saw people i love.

i hung out with ratspy on friday early afternoon. dj-ed with my friend chris (hodge242) on friday night and saw amazing people. i got to see kelly (motel_tub), whom i haven't seen in a very long time....goodwill days!!! and i saw greg and patty, long lost buddies.

i got a little drunk due to my friends being charitable to my arrival. i was happy.

saturday, everything was running behind. after craziness of meeting up with family for lunch, getting last min items for mike and kristen's (shitgoria) wedding, and a wedding dress late upon arrival....a happy couple was pronounced husband and wife, and there was good food and cake to eat!!!

saturday night was a relaxing one for andrew, lisa (blahdoll), and i. we decided to kick back and pick up a classic film from the video store...http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0477457/


sunday lisa, andrew, and i went to richmond. andrew had to meet up with his family for a bit, then we three went off to cary street to eat and see hollywood cemetery.

when we got back to fredericksburg that night i met up with melanie and briana for a bit, then headed off to enjoy delicious pumpkin pancakes of ihop with mike and kristen. stephani stopped by for a brief moment to say hey!. i finally got to see my aunt and uncles new house. i saw him for a little while before heading to bed. i didn't get to see the rest of the family because they were all asleep.

monday i got to eat ihop pumpkin pancakes again (i can't get enough of them!!!!!!!!!!!) with my grandma. i got my hair done...light red partial and a trim. woo. and then i saw my aunt and 2 out of 3 cousins.

headed monday afternoon to the airport and bidded adieu to va once again.

pictures to come soon.
