let's talk strawberries...

strawberry fest goodness for everyone!!! woohoo!!!

although this happened ages ago i thought that i would share something relevant to life in new orleans (well, louisiana, anyway). a few saturdays ago gavin, stephanie, nick, and little ol' me went to the strawberry festival in ponchatoula, louisiana. although it was hot as hell, a good time was had by all. we had all of the alcoholic strawberry concoctions one can imagine (and then some), not to mention some fried food, food on a stick, and food that we just stared at wondering if people really ate that crap. we played some carnival games, wandered around, i got an airbrush tattoo of a fleur de lis (cus really i just want to be like meeg- :P ), and I rode roller coasters (because the three other adult i was with were just too scared to ride them- note in the photo that the kid i'm sitting next to can't be older than 7 and then think of the 3 30 year olds standing on the ground watching!). it was fab fab fun and here are some pics for your enjoyment!

my two fave things. craigslist and gang bangs.

as some of you may know i do fuck all at work most of the time. i'm a notary/lawyer/whatever. when i don't have a client/customer in the office there's just nothing for me to do. so, i have to be creative. i sit online a lot. i talk to meeg and dave on gmail (and some others- occasionally i participate in some good gBanter), i read (if there's a book that interests me at the moment), i bebo, facebook, myspace. In short, i do everything and anything that will pass the time. for some reason lately i have taken to reading the 'casual encounters' section on craigslist. i think that this is because my friend stephanie is obsessed with 'missed connections' and i think that she's convinced that someone, somewhere, someday will see her in a cafe and pine for the woman he didn't have the nerve to talk to (and then he'll post it on craigslist, of course-"you, woman in white strappy shirt and flowing skirt. beautiful, long blonde hair. you ordered an iced latte. me, short brown hair in the green sweater. i had a caramel cappuccino. you smiled at me and we shared an unspoken yet intense moment. could it be possible that you're the one? i hate it that i was too nervous to talk to you then. is there anyway that the fates will be kind and bring you back to me? please write soon.).
anyway, 'casual encounters' is ccccrazy. of course, there are just the (sort of) normal people who post because they just want to have sex with someone and they don't feel like trolling the bars. there are also tons of scam ads (woman seeking men- and then you open it and there's a website you have to join). but then there are ads that are just so kinked out that they even make MY jaw drop (which is pretty hard to do).
Like this one that i found (oh yeah, there were pics too. yummy).

I am looking for some guys for gang bang right away. bi guys welcome also. email pics or stats .

ok, everyone has their things, and i am ALL for it. i say that anything consenting adults do is fantastic. whatevs. live and be happy.

but i still love it and think it's awesome and funny that there are people out there posting because they really need a gang bang right away! not just i need sex now, but i need sex with lots of people ASAP.

who would have ever thought that the words 'gang bang' would end up appearing in one of my posts multiple times? (don't you dare answer that!!!)

birthday party today!!!

ok, so my birthday is actually on tuesday but work and school, etc prevents me from having a nice party on my actual birthday....so it's today!! it's almost 10 now and the party starts at 2. i'll be over at steph's at 12:30 to start setting up (which means i have about an hour to start making the food. it's going to be so much fun. i hope loads of people show and that i get lots of pressies (have i said this already? hehe).

we got red and white wine, creme de cassis, gin (and tonic), beer (amber and abita pecan), and white sangria (not to mention sodas).

for food i'm making finger sandwiches-- cucumber and turkey with options of swiss, mustard or mayo. i'm also got loads of fab taro chips-- sweets and beets and the mixed kind. i am also making a fab fruit bowl with white nectarines, honeydew nectarines, blood oranges, strawberries, and plums with a home-made honey-cream dipping sauce.

steph is also making food. i think a veg plate and some other stuff that i can't remember off of the top of my head. going to be fab!!!!

stay cool.

yeah for birthday parties!! (and yes, this pic is about 3 years old and my hair look super bad in it. it never looks that bad!! i have witnesses!)

book i'm reading now: still reading sophie's world, the gunseller, and have just started ada song i'm listening to: colorblind weather outside: 83 degrees and cloudy (oohh, nice) 50% chance of rain, let's hope it just stays overcast!! days until my party: NONE days until my birthday: 1 (not including today and my birthday) presents i've gotten so far: none level of excitement (on a scale of one to ten): 8 (by 1ish it'll be 10)

steph, my steph

as some of you know, my birthday is coming soon (on the 28th i'll be 31 >shudder<) and i am having a party at my friend stephanie's house on sunday the 26th. we had a bit of a misunderstanding earlier so i went over to her house a little while ago to make sure everything was ok. of course, it was. we have been friends for 8 years and been through tons together so i suppose i knew that it would be ok. anyway, i got some fab pics of her and her man nick and her wonderful backyard. here is some lovely stephanie (the younger) for you to look at...

and for my stephanie, a quote from her beloved nietzsche...

a philosopher; a man who constantly experiences, sees, hears, suspects, hopes, dreams extraordinary things; who is struck by his own thoughts as if from without, as if from above and below, as by his kind of events and thunder-claps; who is himself perhaps a storm and pregnant with new lightnings; a fateful man around whom snarling, quarreling, discord, and uncanniness is always going on. a philospher: alas, a creature which often runs away from itself, is often afraid of itself- but which is too inquisitive not to keep 'coming to itslef' again...
