On the California State Fair and Killing Brain Cells (1)

A disclaimer, This was my first time ever at the California State fair. I have come away with some mixed feelings. I take into consideration that I went on a Saturday. There were TONS of people!!! So many different food, ride, or activity options. I don't recommend for any first timers to go on a Saturday. At the end of the day Rose and I decided our IQ's had dropped a few points. We, for a brief moment, met possibly the only other non white trash/ghetto intellectual at the fair. He asked us where we got out slushie machine margaritas (which were DELICIOUS!). I had a really good time. However, I am excited to check out a smaller fair. Maybe the Dixon County or something.

I'm Sick of It

Not being able to swim in this dirty ass river.

All but 4 months ago a dead body was pulled out of it.

Not to mention the leaches or the bums that use it as a toilet/shower/bath.

When its 100+ degrees outside it sure gets tempting. But I REFUSE to swim in it!

The Taco Bell houses. Palm trees aren't even native to CA!!

Close quarter living. I love that the closest neighbor to my dad in OR is half a mile away.

Most of all the traffic. This is a picture of 16th street. I route I take almost daily to get home.

A route I have been stuck in traffic in for countless hours of my life...I will NOT be getting back.

I am sick of living in the city. I am sick of all the people who traipse around mindlessly.

I saw a half dead squirrel try and lift its head on the side of the road. I don't understand how road kill happens. I have been driving for many years and have yet to hit anything but a bug. I'm sick of traffic and people getting in their cars or even leaving their house with no purpose. I WANT OUT!!! Can't I move somewhere nice?! Do any of you have any suggestions? I've thought about the Pacific northwest but I have a feeling leaving CA wont happen for awhile. I am applying to UC Santa Cruz, but blegh. I HATE California. I HATE Sacramento.

Zombie Crawl...SUCCESS! (picture heavy!!)

James, me, Kathy's beau, and Jimmy 

Went over to Jimmy's before the crawl to get ready. Its official that I wont be doing any kind of anything concerning FX make up and blood with out Jimmy. He is a genius with all that!

How ever it was not cool when he shot faux blood right in my eye from a syringe. Stingy.

Jimmy adding a realistic looking bite to his lady Lesley's shoulder.

ZOMBIE TEXTING! I thought was so funny seeing all these zombies running around shuffling and moaning only to bust out a cell and text.

Zombie Jimmy got stuck bumping into walls (and leaving blood on them). I promptly redirected him.

Just before we left the house.

Group shot!

Just before we started on our zombie shuffle.

Children of the damned!!

This kid was awesome!

These people were hilarious! They were so grossed out by the amount of blood on me and Jimmy. Notice the girl clutching her white purse? I'd pour blood on my hands and shimmy over to the most grossed out, moan and whip blood on them. Man they'd get pissed! It was great!

I love the blood dripping out of my mouth. Now we had a more tolerable blood that was edible and mint flavored...THAT WE LEFT AT HOME! uh! So I succumbed to peer pressure and popped some of the regular (mouth numbing might I add) faux blood we did bring along.

Pyramid brewing Co. had a zombie discount. We were bummed there were no brains on the menu.

Waiter: Can I get any food for you guys?

Me: Um, yeah. I'm not seeing any brains on the menu. Is there a cannibal section I am missing?

Waiter: (stands in awkward confused silence) Yeah I'm not really getting the joke.

FAIL!

Cheers to the best night I've had in SO SO SO VERY VERY long.

If only I could dress as a zombie and rage around downtown everyday.

Its Been Awhile.

Since I've done silly pictures to make me smile. I got a spiffy new do (sorta) and thought "WHY THE HELL NOT?!" Please also take note of the hilarious placement of my lamp in the background.

Mirror Pond Pale Ale. One of my Fav's and Oregon's own.

My finger is not in my nose...I SWEAR!

Have a great weekend! I'll be watching and pointing at you in the mean time.

Zombie crawl downtown tomorrow. I am SO SO excited. I will even bring my crappy ass camera and take pictures of the event!

My Dad...

Is kind of a bad ass...

50 some odd years old and still tearing up a dirt track like he did as a teenager. I plan to get this really nicely blown up and framed. If not for his birthday then for Christmas or something. He is cool.

Quick 4th of July Recap.

My Dad's hanger. This is what I woke up to Friday morning

I never realized how pretty big rolled up bails of hay were.

Flew my awesome Spider man kite.

Relocated the flying of the kite to the runway. It was pretty great. Lots of open sky

But it was a long walk back to the house. So I hitched a ride on the tractor!

Keep all arms and legs inside whilst hitching rides on tractors!

The wall. This is a perfect California example of a wall.

It drives me nuts. Two cars going the same speed. 

I like Oregon much better. The left lane is for passing only.

Wall's like this rarely happen in Oregon.

I had fun. I've had more fun during past Oregon trips.

I am hoping to return in August.

This week is going to be quick which I'm happy about.

I have a tattoo appointment on the 7th that I need to reschedule to next week.

My "Aunt Ruby" came to visit making me less tolerant of unnecessary pain (or any pain really). Saturday is the zombie walk and hang time with my actual aunt. Going to start cracking the whip on myself and get my math done. Got an A in sign language (go me!).

Hope you all had fantastic 4th of July's!

I wonder...

When my sister is going to realize how awesome and cool I am and want to chill with me all the time?


I have always wanted a kid sister. The kind I was to my ex step-sister. I wanted to be just like her! I wanted to dress like her, listen to the same music, do the same stuff. She hated me though! Maybe then I'd be totally irritated by my sister? Nah, I always wanted one just like how I was. I look up to a few really fantastic women and maybe I just want a young lady to look up to me as a fantastic woman in the same sort of way. Eh.
