Random Brutal Sex Dreamer (RBSDf)
Fiery. Hungry. Blatant. Sexual. Christ. You are Half-Cocked.
There's a lot of wild lust inside you, banging around, that much is obvious. There's also a lot of untamed emotion. When either escapes, look out. One minute you're completely together, the next you're a howling gale of hormones and opinions.
Outside relationships, your intense, mercurial personality makes you a charmer. You can be fiercely devoted, and it's likely that many of your friends will be friends-for-life. Of course, your enemies are likewise certain and zealous, especially your exes and their therapists.
Your exact opposite:
The Maid of Honor
Deliberate Gentle Love Master
| You will find the right person. In the short term, he's someone virile who won't sweat your imperfections. In the long term, he will be someone mature and caring who will grow to love them.

mexican gurls r pretty
Asian girls are smart
But it takes a black girl
To win a boy's heart
Indian girls are tan
phillipeno girls are light
But when you want the best looking girl
black girls will do it right.
mixed girls are wild
White girls are ..um..
But black girls?
Come on, they're number 1
Girls will be girls
North, east, south or west
But black girls
Always rate the best
To any man who reads this
And truly wants to know
If you have a True black girl
You should never let her go
if you're a BLACK GURL, repost this saying " black Girls Do It better"
if you want a black girl, repost this by saying "I want a black girl"

Today, I managed an art installation. That was interesting. Fifteen 30 x 40 Nan Goldin photos, worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, all hanging in some over priced boutique in "Nolita". I hadn't seen that many grown men running around with their balls in their throats since ... well, this past Monday. What is this world I have entered?

| Phew! I was worried for a minute there. Thought I was getting soft on the old politics. |

LJ Interests meme results
- cannibal ox:
Once upon a time I had their CD Iron Galaxy and listened to it on the Chinatown bus from Boston to New York when I used to visit every weekend because I lived in Boston and had a weird boyfriend in New York. I loved that CD dearly. Then I moved to New York to live with the weird boyfriend, and when I moved out, he stole the CD, among others. I have not since recovered it. - diamonds:
I very much love diamonds and diamond jewelry. Don't yet own any. - food in general:
I think this is pretty self explanatory. - ice:
I have a sort of strange obsession with all forms of ice. It used to be more intense, but now it is mostly just a general reverence. I just think it's so multi-purpose and wonderful and simple and I also like to chew on it. - les parapluies de cherbourg:
A sweet French film starring Catherine Deneuve. The entire movie is sung and the cinematography is beautiful. I actually attempted to watch it recently while drunk and it didn't go over too well. - my bloody valentine:
A band I enjoy immensely. I first heard of them through Brian Hakala, with whom I worked at Cuffy's, of all places, when I was 15. I remember borrowing his cd Loveless and thinking it was weird, but also not being able to turn it off. - placebo:
Ah yes. Back in my boys-who-wear-makeup stage. - sex:
Oh come on, do I really have this as an interest? Way to be obvious Ki. I haven't changed these things in like two years. - tim sandlin:
The author of Skipped Parts, Sorrow Floats, and Social Blunders, the Jackson Hole Trilogy. Recommended! - words and shit:
So goddamn eloquent.

There is nothing quite like the feeling of working really hard on a project, managing a project, creatively directing a project, and polishing a project, just to watch someone else receive 100% of the credit for said project.
Ah yes, the workplace.
Did I mention the "credit" is being published in InStyle magazine? Mother fucker.

An experiment:
The Questionaire of Marcel Proust (1871 - 1922)
At age fourteen, Proust was given an English album "Confessions : An Album To Record Thoughts, Feelings". Seven years later, he published this questionaire. It turned into a parlour game and was popular in the literary salons of late 19th Century Paris. A century later, we youth are using the internet as our parlour, and our friend pages as salons. Let's get back to our roots.

18. Do you love the pain a tattoo brings? I enjoyed it, but I didn't love it.

I am actually giddy and joyful over the fact that I wore a jacket to work this morning and ordered hot coffee instead of iced. Next weekend we are going apple and pumpkin picking with my brother in New Hampshire. Fall fall fall fall fall fall.
Tonight, I am going to dinner with Ashley's 32 year old Christian cousin from Texas who has never had a boyfriend or sex. Holy hell it is going to be good.
In addition, I just bought my ticket to Austin. Wow! Glee!

Well, I am back in New York, and as per usual I forgot to send all of your postcards from Paris. I did write them while there, though, if that counts for anything. You'll be getting them in the mail with a New York City postmark. How exotic!
Paris is quite a city. It's amazing that after pretty much an entire life of pining after a place and idolizing it on maps hung on different apartment walls and music and photos and history books, I finally actually made it there. It wasn't particularly the BEST TRIP EVER 2K5!!!#$@#, because I was there for work and didn't have a ton of spare time, but just to be there...
I saw all your requisite landmarks and beauty. I also got to speak a lot of French, and made friends with the Parisian mommas taking their little ones to the playground (I had to babysit my bosses' kid). I had one night to myself and went to this bar that I happened to run into. It was called Rosebud, and basically was exactly how you'd imagine a "Parisian bar". A man in a white jacket met me as I sat down, and as I ordered my Kir Royale, he lit my Gauloise for me. Perfect. By the end of the night I had met a middle aged fashion designer in town for the same fabric show that I was, who didn't speak a word of English. I got to practice my French conversational skills, and drink for free, but by the time I was ready to leave, I realized that I might have led him astray. I waved him goodnight with a very sour look on his face.
Other than that, it was just lovely. I saw the view from the top of the Eiffel Tower, I rode in a boat down the Seine, I saw the Mona Lisa at the Louvre, and even better than all that, and even MORE stereotypical, I smoked cigarettes while drinking coffee and speaking French. One day I will live there, and you all will be invited to visit.
After all that though, it sure was good to be back in New York. In the cab on the way home, I slouched in my seat and reveled in the fact that no one would give me a dirty look for it. Now, to beat the jet lag.
OH! And I am going to Austin, TX for New Year's! I have to tell you, this is also a long time dream of mine, and I am almost more excited for it than I was for Paris! Yee haw.

Every couple of weeks I go "Holy hell, I have a grown up job." Then I go "Holy hell, i AM a grown up." Kind of. This week would have almost killed me if I didn't know I was leaving for Paris in three days. Who knew fashion week could be such misery? By the way, take me with a grain of salt, I am not actually complaining.
What else? Yelling in the streets of Nolita. Mean girls from Texas going soft. Los Angeles boys breaking my heart on the telephone. Loves lost to Philadelphia and South Beach. Dreadful nostalgia being avoided in Boston. Inexplicable yearn for Cape Cod. and etc etc.
Also, my grandmother is trying to hook me up with a Frenchman that she met while in France last week. We're having "café" and walking around next week in Paris. What the hell?
Tonight when I go home I am going to polish some silver purchased on a stoop and then I am going to lay on my bed and stare at the wall for about an hour and a half. My brain needs to stop rattling. My liver needs to fucking rest.
Oh and I got offered a freelance gig writing press releases. Kind of sweet. Whoever made up that New York Minute thing was really smart.

| Happy Labor Day Weekend |
[02 Sep 2005|05:44pm] |
Although I technically work for a retail company but not in retail, and therefore don't get Labor Day off, I wanted to wish everyone a Happy Labor Day weekend. Appropriately, here is a passage taken from www.freewilliamsburg.com :
"We can't all afford a five week vacation, but it's time for us to take a short, well-deserved break nonetheless. See you next Tuesday.
In the mean time, here's a great idea for a fun-filled Labor Day Weekend. From The Family Resource Council's Website:
'As the summer officially winds up and you are planning what to do for Labor Day weekend, may I make an unusual but important suggestion--a house party against judicial activism. By ordering a free FRC Save the Court Kit, you can gather family, friends and fellow church-goers not only for a taste of grilled hamburgers and hot dogs, but to watch the DVD of Justice Sunday II. You'll also be able to read what you can do to return the courts to their proper role and protect issues important to you, like the Ten Commandments and marriage, from activists in black robes. While it might seem like an odd way to spend part of a relaxing weekend, it is fitting that while you celebrate this extra time with family and friends who share your values, you also take action to protect those principles.'
We can hardly wait! Save a Jesus burger for me."

Oh! September. It's so great to see you.
I have a good feeling about this. Fall has always been my favorite season, and this year I am so amped for it. It's strange, I feel like living in the city really brings out the extremity of the seasons. Summer is too hot, fall is extra beautiful, and winter is exceptionally burdensome. I do love it though.
I have back to school pangs. Wish I was going, a little. But September is exciting for me at work. Time to find a hand-holder.

Life is weird.
The weather is all of a sudden amazing (good riddance soaking wet clothes on the way to work in the morning), I have serious future prospects (they involve a historic mansion resort in the
Berkshires and every social principle I've ever had for myself), and I am going to Paris for work next month (meaning for free).
Wow.
Oh yeah, and I am helping put together a listening party for the new Sigur Ros album in two weeks, not to mention fashion week.
The only way I could possibly be happier is if I fell into money and love.
[Sorry if I am obnoxious].
