A housekeeper found shit in a garbage can. You know those little plastic garbage cans for rooms? Yeah...there was shit in one of those! Poor guy that found it almost threw up. I don't blame him. I had a hard time when I found the shit in sheets.
Happy 4th of July everyone!
Heading out to Gasworks Park for the third year in a row, meeting up with Jeff and Aubrey.
The Pride Parade was absolutely amazing. I wish it wouldn't have been so hot and sunny or I would have been able to tough out the entire parade. But I had a blast at the parts I saw, and I have to say my favorite was the Dykes on Bikes opening up the parade. And of course the Goth Pride float was awesome. I most definitely cheered my people on!
I'm hoping it'll cool down before the 4th of July on Friday. I cannot function in the sun. I was lucky only a tiny bit of my forehead got burned yesterday. SPF 50 saved me! lol
I move in a month to Spokane! I'm going home hopefully from the 19-22 of July. Available Megan? My Aunt and my cousin Shawn are supposed to be home then. I haven't seen Shawn for 4 years and I'm dying to see him...I really hope it works out and she's able to come...but I don't want to get my hopes up.
Friday at work was awful. We went into a room and a guest had left all their sheets on the floor waded up. We thought they mistook Friday for Linen Exchange day, so we went to grab the linens to remake the bed. Turns out, they had shit their bed and left it waded up on the floor. There was even a turd in the waded up pile. Being a housekeeper sucks.
Feeling sad about having to leave in about a month.
I can't believe I start law school two months from today. It hasn't hit me yet. I'm sure it will when I'm at law school orientation, or on my way to the first day of class.
Peter Murphy was fucking amazing live! I had so much fun!!!! He did mostly stuff from his solo albums, but threw in a couple of old bauhaus songs, and even two songs from their new album!
It was beautiful!
This is my last week of school.
Final Paper due today. Final exam tomorrow. A paper due Monday, and a paper due Tuesday. THEN I AM DONE WITH UW!!!!
Graduate on June 14.
It's all coming to a nice close, and I am glad.
I need it to end so I can get into gear, move, and start law school in August.
OMG! I'm getting so excited about seeing Tim and Eric from "Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job!" this Friday! I love those guys! They have the same weird and bizarre humor that Bryan and I have.
Bryan ordered his graduation announcements today. They gave him space on the bottom to put whatever he wanted. So what did he put??? He put a quote from Pulp Fiction. lol Neither of us can ever do things quite how we're supposed to. I'll probably post both of our announcements once we get them.
Watched Forbidden Zone recently. My how I love strange movies!
Burned myself at work today...again. When am I going to remember that the hood over the hotplate is 180 degrees? This is like the fourth time I've burned myself.
Tomorrow is my one day off from work for the week. I still have to go to class though. I'm going to attempt to do my senior pics tomorrow. Attempt is the key word.
I am going to lay down and hope that I feel better and don't vomit. lol
So last night was the Apocalyptica show at El Corazon. Trust me, with as depressed/stressed/and feeling shitty I really needed to have some fun.
So on Friday I was at work, and right before work I took my inhaler. It never kicked in. It got so bad I ended up at Hall Health, doing a breathing treatment, and on another inhaler. So far I'm doing better. But I felt so good after the breathing treatment, so I knew I'd be okay at the show.
So El Corazon was fucking packed. It was the most crowded I've ever seen the place! The show was actually sold out.
The only way I can describe the show, is that it was easily one of the best concerts I have ever been to. They are absolutely amazing! If you don't know what they do, it's four guys on cello, a guy on drums, and they play metal. It's absolutely incredible to watch! Even Bryan had a good time, and he is usually miserable at my shows!
Bryan and I were looking at a lot of "old" pics of us from his old camera. I can't quite describe how it makes me feel seeing them. Especially since some of these pics I've never even seen before.
I found out about two shows today and I bought tickets for both.
The first show is Apocalyptica! The band consists of four guys on cellos. And they are fucking metal. I found out about them through my dad because he loves them. Any ways here is a taste of them...
And the other concert is OTEP!!!! I am sooo fucking excited to see them at El Corazon!! Here is the video for my very favorite OTEP song!
I am so excited about these concerts that my head is going to fucking explode!!!
So I thought today was just going to be an ordinary day. I came home after school, settled in with my babies to spend an afternoon napping and watching baseball in the evening. I was surprised to get a call frompickledixy asking me if I would go with him andparkerwolfwhile they went to get their domestic partnership application notarized. I was honored that I was asked so of course I went them! I enjoyed getting to play the role of best man/maid of honor all in one. lol And the notary was quick and we went and had a late lunch together afterwards. I am so honored they asked me to go with them! :-)
So afterwards I went home and settled in to watch baseball. I then got another unexpected call from Amy. It turns out her boyfriend Eric is really sick and she invited me to go see her favorite band Blind Melon with her tonight at El Corazon. There was no way I could turn her down, so of course I went with her. Although I haven't listened to much of their stuff I still had a great time! The music was excellent and the energy with the crowd was amazing. Most importantly Amy had a great time finally getting to see her all-time favorite band.
Tomorrow I start my last quarter as an Undergraduate. This is such a strange feeling. Am I really almost done? Am I really getting ready to graduate? I probably won't realize any of this until I'm walking into Husky Stadium in my cap and gown.
I can't help but be sad. A chapter in my life is ending where I've actually been happy. It's been rough, but I know I'm stronger now because all of it. I've learned so much that in the past 4 years I've transformed into a new Melissa.
My teachers always told me "to trust myself." It's taken years...but I realized recently that I think I finally trust myself. I've always doubted myself and proved myself wrong. I think with law school I'm going to try to bypass the doubt and get straight to work.
My last quarter at UW. I hope it'll be a good one. ;)
