Pandas will take over the world and when we do

my friends are awesome. they went to scarowinds with a huge group of people and didn't invite me.

yay! we are in high school again and they are being mean girls. mean mean girls.


boo this sucks i'm going dancing tonight because i don't want to deal with bullshit.

today i went to my boyfriend's mentally handicapped aunt's 48th birthday party. we got her a microphone that records her voice and she can make songs on it. she kept laughing really hard because she was excited about her boyfriend chris being there and kept calling him her honey. it was adorable. also to impress his dad i ate TWO white trash hordourves (sp?) things made out of a green olive, vienna sausage, and cube of american cheese. it was kind of good actually.

also i cured another u.t.i. it only took 2 days. it's all about the cranberry pills and collodial silver yall. the gas thing is scaring me. i got my gas yesterday. everyone's acting all cray-cray. i'm going to clean my house now. it probably hasn't been cleaned in 4 months. i'm serious.

tonight i will drink and be merry with some friends to forget about the old ones. sometimes i need my friends and they aren't there for me and it's hard for me to deal with because i miss them. i don't like it when i need them and they just abandon me. i am sorry if i am too much for you to deal with. just leave like they all do and i will survive like i always do.

i am feeling slightly melodramatic today.

uggghhhhhhh. its the end of summer. yesterday felt fall-ish. everyone in charlotte hates james or just me or a combination of both of us. yo what's with all the hating yall i'm tired of it. i'm grown, quit telling me what to do egotistical pompous posi jizz drinking fuckers.

hehe. there is a story of this boy that likes me. i dont know how i feel about it. actually i feel kind of apathetic about it. i know these games you play. its all about the thrill of the chase. "white tiger" syndrome. it always starts that way where they like you more than you like them and then after a while you get suckered into liking them back/ they start treating you like shit/ and then BOOM heartbreak city. fucckkk that. i'm in the driver's seat with this one and anyways i am not interested in having a "steady". i want to date thousands of dudes before i turn 30. that is four years from now. also i will not put out again until i'm married. heehee.

we're going to that party at HOM tonight if anyone wants to go.

uggggghhhhhhhhh i always forget how bad i am with money when i am single. i need someone to REGULATE........haha shit. today is an anthro day, which means i get 40% off everything at work even housewares and sale stuff. i'm buying this beautiful birdcage that i will put pillar candles in and a bird painting thing.


i work all weekend. it's fucking tax free weekend i know a bunch of dumbasses are gonna come to southpark and drop 50 thousand dollar cuz they save 10 dollars on every billion they spend cuz its taaaaaaaxxxx free.

also i told jenny that i wanted to start buying "lighter" "fun" movies and i bought SLEEPWALKERS, JACOB'S LADDER, and OPEN WATER yesterday i am a hypocrit. haha. irene, jenny, and i talked about old times for a while last night which was fun and then james called and we talked about old times again. we're old. old timers. i'm glad we're all grown up and friends again. i want to go out saturday, i am off sunday and will spend a quiet day with girlfriends celebrating their babies.

i officially have three blogs that i write in. this one is for friends that care what is going on in my life. my secret one is for my secret feelings and emotions that shouldn't be shared with the world via myspace and myspace is for fun and games.

anyways yesterday jenny spent like 10 hours at carowinds. she entertained me by only riding kiddie rides with me. my favorite ones were REPTAR rollercoaster and RICOCHET which is so fucking scary i was screaming and cussing the whole time i think we freaked out the kids in front of us ahahaha and jenny had her arms raised in the air there is a pic to prove it. that rollercoaster is like 5 feet tall (losers) but its still really scary for me. i have been more adventurous lately.

had deep discussions with jenny who is very mom-like sometimes and irene who is definitely my mom and making me realize i am how i was when i was 17 i need to calm down. i am still allowed to have play time but i should have calmycakes time as well. what she said was it is ok to go out and have fun as long that is the intention, not I'LL SHOW HIM I'M GONNA END UP IN A DITCH UNDER A CAR IN A PARKING LOT SOMEWHERES hahaha. it should be more like I'M GONNA HAVE FUN WITH MY FRIENDS TONIGHT. anyways i am pretty sure i am not obsessed with andy anymore everyone is right, it all wanes after a while. it's only been four months though. the main thing is i've never dated a nice boy like him, you've all met jason right???? remember him--anyways and the dating pool is so so soooooo terribly slim here especially if you have high standards like we do. but i need to learn how to be okay on my own anyway instead of depending on some dude to take care of me so i dont become girls gone wild 2008 edition. also came to this realization when all my friends that are waaaaaay younger than me are acting more mature and giving me wise old owl wisdom advice and i am like WOW I'VE NEVER THOUGHT OF THAT. anyways moral is my friends are awesome. james and i are going to asheville this month. cool.


marcus left this for me yesterday


i will miss him as a roomate. he just stays in his room like this little vampire dude. i think my friend John is going to be moving in but we havent really talked about it yet. i kinda wish i could live with someone i wasnt toooooo friendly with i just dont want to spend too much time going out, i'm not 18 like he is. fuuuuuck mama's gotta sleep sometime.



also jenny and i drew pictures in my doodle coloring book




he came out kind of scary.

yeah i know i never write in my lj ever but i am kinda bored so deal. last night we had a low-key board game night at irene's place. it was majorly UN-FUN unlike last time when it was all girls because dallas is an asshole no-fun i wanna win scattergories jerkface and i found out that jason waters is SMARTER THAN ME. what kind of demented alfred hitchcock bullshit is this. i never realize how dumb i actually am until i have to play board games that require thinking and i am just staring at the ceiling while the timer is ticking away and i'm sweating because i can't think of anything and i end up being the worst at every round. HEY LETS PLAY SOMETHING THAT I'M GOOD AT NEXT TIME. monopoly you assholes. i am good at taking your money.

also last night i got semi-stood up by this guy that i don't even like. he sends me a text that says WHOOPS I GOT DISTRACTED like 4 hours later. reminds me yet again why i am not trying to talk to any of these 21 year old boys that say that they want to date a grown adult woman like myself because they are lying/full of shit. and the idea of it grosses me out anyhow, once you have dated a man you don't want to start dating boys again. really the main thing that upset me about it was that it reinforced to me that feeling that i always get dissappointed/ let down by guys even when they seem nice enough. whatever. that's why i am having arts and crafts day with myself.

also since somehow i have blown through loads of cash i dont even have yet this weekend so far i can't do anything that involves whipping out my credit card the next week ok. except for maybe tomorrow when jenny wants us to take a special trip somewhere. i'm ok with that. the other night i think i drank past the barrier of asian blush and i may or may not be allerigic to alcohol anymore but i am not trying to find out, the thought of having a drink is making me all light headed and pukey feeling.

i will probably start writing on this more because it is more secret than myspace and safe from my stalkers and bridget lynch. i changed all my passwords and deleted all my email accounts cuz i'm paranoid. i have been having weird feelings about babies and families lately, its beginning to freak me out. that's all i will say about it.

i am excited about erica's baby shower. i come bearing gifts.

LOVE YALL.

Happy Birthday, love yall, have a great birthday. Come celebrate June Birthdays, I'm not hosting this year because I'm tired of picking up everyone's nasty cigarette butts and dookie nuggets, but Liz is graciously hosting this year, so everyone play nice. I'm amped.

I MISS MY APARTMENT ON HAMORTON.







I MISS MERLOT

I took Muffin to the vet. It cost $330. My hours are getting cut at work. Money situation is no good right now! But I'm still gonna have a good time because it's just money I dont really give a shit about that right? And Muffyloo is all better now. Precious. Tonight I'm going to this show which is gonna be ridiculously good:



and then saturday is our birthday party which will hopefully be drama free and a lot of fun

Come see some really shitty drawings by me and some real art via Irene. Celebrate my newfound singledom. Boo.




ps i know you hate the flier jeremy davis. get over it i dont care.

We finally booked our art show, it will be in April during Gallery Crawl. I have been working since I woke up this morning til now on some paintings for the show. Since everything is new, we have a lot of work to do. Anyways, so far all is well! This is a flier Irene made tonight, it's cute. So basically it's an animal themed art show, where we both have the same list of things to draw. We're not going to see each other's things until we hang the show.
It will be a good pre-requisite for the TWIN PARTY!

Working less now so now I have time to start jogging again, hopefully I'll peel off this 15 lbs. I've gained during winter time. Ew. We just got back from a nice jog since it was a beautiful night. Andy's birthday is Friday, he's going to california on Friday but right now he's really sick....eek, hopefully he'll get well by then. He's got a really bad fever, I think he got what I had!

I updated my Etsy, look at it and favorite me please.



I've added a couple new things, lemme know what you think:


Munchkins, $10


Heart Stuffies, $10 each

Happy Valentine's Day ya'll. <3

So last night was Andy's birthday party. It was lots of fun, and there was lots of dancing. I think this will be a good party house. Nobody called the 5-0 or anything. Rad. Anyways, it was a costume party, dress as your favorite tree dwelling animal. I was a red panda, I made the costume for a dollar from a sweatshirt from Value Village. Irene was a black widow which she made as well. Andy was an owl with a bad ass mask he made.

I didnt get any good detailed pictures of my costume. You can't even see my tail!! I'll have to take better pictures of it later, i even stitched a little heart on the front.


Andy and Matt Nelson


We danced our asses off. I had dance cramps.

This weekend has been fun. We played four-square again. I updated some pictures from our play day at my blog http://www.sophiecakes.blogspot.com.



Andy decided he's having a birthday party before he goes to L.A. on his birthday. Irene made an awesome flier for it. Also Irene and I are having our Twin Party again this year. So get ready ya'll.

Here is a post from my blog www.sophiecakes.blogspot.com. I post there now. But I wanted to share pictures of Muffin and Sushi here for Leanne and Mary Kate and Liz and whoever cares.

Today is a gorgeous day. I am getting really excited about the impending spring. I already see us frolicking outside playing 4-square at the park down the street, maybe some backyard parties, and laying out in the summer. Awesome. I'm outside right now typing in the backyard. Sushi is eating grass like a little cow beside me. Muffin is still weary about coming outside. She seemed to have a good time yesterday though. There are a few stressful events in my life right now but I decided that if I just go with the flow of things, everything will work itself out fine. (I can hope). I enjoy these days at home where I can do home-related things like laundry and mending shirts and updating my blog. Irene and Andy are both at work right now, this is the first day I've been home alone since we moved in. I go into work later for a few hours. But that's a while away. Today I am going to:
**destress (check!)
**work on designing some more layouts for my cookbook
**update my blog (check)
**sit outside and read Little House on the Prarie in the warm sun
**finish laundry and dishes
**paint a little

So yesterday was the first warm day in a while. It was like 65 degrees at the beginning of January. So we decided to have our lunch of whole wheat pasta outside in the backyard.


Andy's enjoying the warm day.


Andy set up his little workout station in the backyard. Now he can do pullups whenever he wants.

Muffin was being weird about being outside for a little while but warmed up to the idea. Here are some pictures of her exploring. She is a timid kitty. She got over to the neighbors yard for a while and couldn't figure out how to come back into our yard. She's gorgeous, but not as bright as her sister SushiLoo. I hear Sushi pissing off the neighbor's dogs right now cuz she doesnt give a shit. haha.


Jungle Woman


At one point Muffin got stuck between the slats of the fence.


The only picture we got of Sushi because she acts crazy outside. She likes to run up trees.


Thomas and Matt Nelson came over. They played soccer in the backyard. Then we walked to the awesome nearby park and played 4-square where Thomas schooled everyone as usual.

so mikey and i were drunk tonight and i'm pretty sure he put a hot dog in my mouth. there was some awesome drunk asshole fighting everyone and then he backed into someones car and sped off. tonight was totally worth it. i hate christmas once again. it will be awesome in january. irene just came to my room looking like a monster. haha. i got awesome christmas presents i'll post them laters.

Our little house is awesome. The little studio room is awesome. There is lots of light here from all the windows. The house was a little ramshackle and beat up but we're going to make it sweet. It already feels lived in. Right now it's a wreck because I have no space for my clothes! Andy is building me a wardrobe. I've gained weight the past two months! I need to start jogging again goddammit but it seems like i'm always at work. And i have been enjoying food a little too much. Hee hee. Anyways the holidays are going to be fun--we're seeing lots of old friends. I'll post pictures soon......ps. WE GOT THE INTERNET.

My new address is 2528 Bay Street, Charlotte, NC 28205. Irene and Andy will be my roomies! It will be an awesome house, I can feel it. Things are good right now I think. I think Jason has a girlfriend, and I am actually happy and ok with it. Which is awesome, which means we've moved on and are grown ups now. Phew. I might try to get a job at Zada Janes, I don't know though it seems like to much pressure to be a "real cook" at a real restaurant. I am bringing some samples by next week. Ok well I have to get back to moving. can't wait for christmas to be over so i can spend some time with my friends again! We're going to throw the girliest Tea Party that ever happened at our new house. See ya'll tomorrow night at Shaughn's house?

YEAH. C'MON. Visit me. and Irene is back in town.

that ya'll are mother fucking broke like me. but i am worth $8 right? i will be sitting near the stage drawing and painting on a little pad. c'mon. loooooooooooooooove you.

I am only expecting a handful of people. Sorry jenny this was the most convenient night for me to do it.
