| from hotrodgal : |
| Don't be gone too long! We'll miss you!! |
| from alonereviews : |
| your review is up at http://alonereviews.diaryland.com/rockabetty.html |
| from sicknick : |
| you would totally dig one of the bars i work at. the bar manager turned his backyard into a tiki haven...he even made his own tiki-style bar. he has barbeques every sunday until it gets too darn cold to hang out outside. every sunday is a tiki party at that house! |
| from sicknick : |
| ditto...except for the motorcycle thing cuz i've always been kind of scared of them. |
| from lissacakes : |
| Hey, I just followed pixie's link to you, so curious I was as to your goings on. I'm sorry you're so stressed! It's admirable, all the things you're trying to accomplish. I'm sure SW helps you tons, but maybe you could ask him to help you more till things calm down? Ah, what do I know? Hang in there! |
| from pixie0323 : |
| Sorry you didn't get a call back. But keep trying. You're wonderful and you work so hard, so I know your opportunity will come along soon! |
| from sicknick : |
| it sounds more like she needs to pull the banana from her ass! tell her to loosen the hell up! |
| from hotrodgal : |
| Glad to see you posting again!! And I love your new template too!! It's perfect with the old car and the freedom thing!! |
| from pixie0323 : |
| That is one of the most insulting and disgusting things I think I've seen in a long time! I totally agree with you -- puke-o-rama, vomit-fest all the way! |
| from abittergirl : |
| I'm so with you on losing focus. It's what I totally struggle with; do I want this enough, am I good enough, can I commit to it, blah blah. I call it singer breakdown. I'm going through one now. Don't worry, you'll do great. There is something to be said for a church job that's casual, you know. Mine is, and I love it- no special attire, small choir, easy music, short services... much better than some of the 'big' churches I've sung at who pay more, but expect waaaaaaaaay more in return. :) You'll be fantastic! They will leap with joy to hire you! Believe in yourself! |
| from hotrodgal : |
| I know what you mean about car shopping, I hate it!! If you are looking at used cars anyway, couldn't you just use that money to fix the Falcon? I'm thinking for the money it would take to fix her would be less than buying a whole different used car and then there's no guarantee of reliability there... Just a thought! |
| from abittergirl : |
| thanks rock-a-betty. Yeah, the review is stupid beyond stupid. However, after I had submitted for it, they posted a little blurb stating they were 17, so really what can I expect? They have checked my site to see what I've said about them, so I refuse to mention it in my diary just to up their ego regarding it. :) |
| from abittergirl : |
| http://ms-dicks.com/design/templates/html/samba.html I saw this template, and it reminded me of you! Kitchy pin-up, with pretty colors. |
| from pixie0323 : |
| I cannot believe you got to meet him! That's so awesome! I would fall down and die if I actually got to see him in person! I would be speechless! That's so cool! |
| from sicknick : |
| although i am personally not a huge tom waits fan, i do respect his work tremendously. meeting someone like that is such a cool thing...congrats! |
| from carrots20 : |
| Wow I love tom waits!!!!!!! Wow that is the only person i think i would be speechless around if i was to meet him. THat rocks that u got to meet him though, take care , you lucky bitch u!!! mona |
| from sicknick : |
| car stuff is such a drag...especially when you've got something so special. it would be a shame to get rid of her. checking into a car club or something of the sort is a great idea though if you're serious about trying to get her fixed cheaper. too bad you don't live near milwaukee...i'd totally be able to hook you up with some people. best of luck! |
| from oddly-enough : |
| Oh no!! Sorry to hear of your transmission diagnosis, if you were in Texas I'd put the boy to work for you fixing it, that tranny stuff is expensive!! Sounds like you have such great stuff for her, it's a shame to sell her (though I am sure she will sell easily if you go that route being that the rest of her is in such condition)... What about checking with one of the automotive schools, see if you could find someone to fix her cheaper? Or maybe a falcon club could direct you to someone that could help? I just always hate to see people get rid of old cars (I'm currently mourning the boy's trade of his 50 GMC truck for a 61 Buick Electra 225)... Anyway, thank for the pic!! |
| from oddly-enough : |
| Hey there! This is going to be a long note, watch out! First off, nice to meet ya! :) Seems like we have lots in common, I look forward to reading more of your stuff! Secondly, I don't post in this journal anymore (drama thing a few months ago, long stupid story) but am in the process of moving everything to hotrodgal here in dland so I hope to see ya over there! I should have everything up and running over there by the end of the week! And then also, I saw Wayne Hancock last week here in TX and it was the same way - he seemed too fucked up and you couldn't understand a word he said between songs! I was really disappointed, he is here all the time and usually puts on a good show... Not sure what the deal is! Oh, and are there pics of your falcon?? Good luck getting her fixed!! Okay, I think I may be done now! |
| from pixie0323 : |
| Did you get the email with the password? I'm just checking because I'm not sure that I sent it correctly? |
| from pixie0323 : |
| Feel completely free to bitch about your sister! Sometimes they definitely need to be bitched about and trust me, I've had a few of those entries as well! :) |
| from abittergirl : |
| Hey; here's some good books to read; Shirley Emmons' book 'Power Performance for Singers' (I think that's the title), The Inner Game of Music, and A Soprano on Her Head. All really good at getting to the heart of destroying those self-destruct buttons. Not that mine are gone... Glad to hear that your first aria kicked ass. And the C Minor Mass sounds like a fucking joke. I would have dropped out by now- one sop soloist? That's ridiculous. The reason it's the Grand Mass is because it has 2 amazing sop parts! Idiots! |
| from mercuryruled : |
| hi, yah read away! i'm pretty boring for the most part though |
| from sicknick : |
| i'm sending you good singing mojo... |
| from abittergirl : |
| yay! But now I can't remember what it was that I wanted to say. :( |
| from abittergirl : |
| for the felony reference, see my entries 'assault and battery' and 'i need alcohol now'. It is completely false and frivolous, but it's still has me completely off the wall with worry. :( |
| from lissacakes : |
| Someone from my "real" life did find mine, then wrote about me in theirs. I found theirs and didn't like what they said. Now, it's all okay, because I don't bother with secrets too much. We know we read each others. I don't know what I'd say differently about him if he didn't read, but the rest I haven't changed because of it. Just my experience... |
| from pixie0323 : |
| i've been thinking about the exact same thing! in some ways i'd like to just let it all out there, but some things i feel like i have to hold back on. but then again, i also think, why not? why not just tell the truth and if someone from my "real" life finds it and doesn't like it, who cares? it's kind of a tough call. |
| from lissacakes : |
| I was waiting impatiently for you to update and finish the story, not realizing that you'd edited the original entry! |
| from sicknick : |
| hey there...i had to lock my diary. for some reason any user name with a hyphen in it got all messed up...soooooo, username is sicknick and the password is vodka...yum, vodka. |
| from lissacakes : |
| It felt good to post it, too. I picked those colors because they show up often in Marc Chagall paintings. I want to use the empty space on the right on my main page for another column with jpegs of paintings and quotes from my favorite books and poems. Maybe once I figure out how to do another column... I was trying to guess yesterday and I got some funky looking stuff. |
| from lissacakes : |
| I will email you sometime. Feel free to email me, too. At the moment, I am feeling extremely guilty for my lollygagging and must do some work before I leave here. :) |
| from lissacakes : |
| This part of your note really got to me: "I think you know what you want and what you don't. It's just that it frustrates me to watch him continually disapoint you in-between the nice little caring emails or the times when he will consent to kissing. It seems to me that he may be very genuinely interested in developing the relationship you share into something further, but he's not aware of the extent to which he isn't involving you in his life." I agree. |
| from lissacakes : |
| When he returns, something will happen. Whatever will make me feel good, whether it be an honest talk that actually results in some change, telling him to fuck himself, or using him for sex while not returning phone calls and actively flirting with other guys. Whatever makes ME happy. I must admit that I do hope it's the first thing that happens. Why are you so anti- El Toro? Does he remind you of something you've been through? I agree with most the things you say, don't get me wrong, and you don't offend me, I just wonder why you are so drawn to his bad points over the good ones. I wonder if I don't paint a very fair and balanced picture of him. Oh, well. Even if I am just crazy, which I think is at least 50% of the problem, I need to be fulfilled. |
| from lissacakes : |
| Thanks! You rock, too! I love your sense of humor. I appreciate all the advice. I think I sound like such a wreck sometimes, but hopefully it get most of it out of my system here and function alright in real life! |
| from abittergirl : |
| Oscar is more of the soubrette/lyric col type (which is me!). You are more of an Amelia. Do the audition anyways; you never know which way they may cast these things... Every audition is a good opportunity! |
| from lissacakes : |
| When do you go to Indiana for your reception? |
| from pixie0323 : |
| it sounds like you have it more together than you realize! don't get down on yourself . . . you're following your passion and now you have a good plan as well as ambition! |
| from abittergirl : |
| I commiserate with you on the opera finals; sometimes it's a shitty road we've chosen. Every new audition/comp makes you stronger and better, though, blah blah blah. Keep singin. |
| from lissacakes : |
| I was wondering what happened to you! |
| from lissacakes : |
| Well, believe it or not, he does treat me very well and do many sweet things - and he's very patient with my constant mood swings. Perhaps I should attempt to focus on the positive :). I appreciate his concern for me, but I can't help but feel a bit cheated for the ways that he is holding back. Then again, while I don't hold back at all with physical affection, I rarely say anything very emotionally revealing (I'll write it - and maybe share it weeks or months later - but saying it - not so much), where he will be brave enough to say very sweet things even if he's being wary about other stuff. I think I like the complicated ones. |
| from lissacakes : |
| I will also keep my fingers crossed for your car. I really want an old car to putt around in, but its scary all the mechanical problems since I can't afford to take it to the shop all the time! |

| from lissacakes : |
| You most certainly did not offend me. I have just been very bad at updating and responding to notes and all that the last few weeks. I've been in a crappy mood and need to get out of it. |
| from pixie0323 : |
| you kick ass, chick! i love your new layout! |
| from lissacakes : |
| I LOVE this template! My old one was from the same person who did the new one, but I don't know if the link on the template will take you to the same site. Anyway, it was called Zodiac and it can be found at www.embellished.org. I don't remember if a /design is necessary. It's mixed in with all the free templates w/ images. |
| from lissacakes : |
| Yeah, they gave me $200 but after all the taxes, and the extra days I needed it, and the extra insurance I put on it because of my paranoia it came out to $430! And I missed time at work due to whole thing, so smaller paycheck. However, things should start sorting out now. I know, it's scary to suddenly have like half as much money coming in. |
| from lissacakes : |
| Didn't go to the doctor. I'm so broke after having to rent that car for almost two weeks. I wanted to give my AZO pills a couple days to work before I hauled myself in. And, I guess they did, because today I feel about 92%. |
| from lissacakes : |
| Your last line was so funny! "You're not pregnant. You're just getting fat!" |
| from sicknick : |
| communication is *key* in making a relationship work...sw sounds like a good man. i hope you're feeling better! |
| from pixie0323 : |
| yes, H definitely needs a big kick in the arse. i will deliver said kick if i feel that it's worthy of my time! :) thanks for the note. i'm trying to catch up on your entries and everyone's because i was gone so long! more soon. |
| from lissacakes : |
| Oh,in my relationships of any kind with other human beings, I'm always wondering how much is real and how much I'm imagining for the sake of some kind of story I'm trying to live. So, many of my entries are just archiving dialogue and lists of places visited (Paisley Violin, BlahBlah, the Paisley, BlahBlah...and so on), so later I can say, hey wait a cotton pickin' minute, he DID say and do that - I'm not crazy! Anywho, it sounds like you had a great weekend. I tried to grow aloe vera and wildflowers in my backyard but my dog ate 'em up. What a brat. |
| from lissacakes : |
| Even if you don't go to the weekender, when you are there, you should burn her good. Maybe I'm just vindictive, but she has it coming. What a bitch. I think it's all she has. She sounds like a real loser. I wonder how your cool friend ended up with her. He has to know that she's telling everyone this crap! |
| from sicknick : |
| she's totally jealous and insecure...it's obvious! really though, don't sweat it. it sucks to know that people may be thinking things about you that aren't true, but as long as your husband and your friends know what's up, no one else really matters. fuck her...karma's a bitch, doll. she'll get hers someday. |
| from sicknick : |
| hey...don't leave me hanging here! finish the story! |
| from lissacakes : |
| Oh, I just saw your note. Yes, I liked the other template better as well. I saw some black and white pin-up girlies somewhere, but when it was time to switch I couldn't remember where! Ah, well I like the Gemini thing, though purple might start actually wearing on my nerves. :) |
| from lissacakes : |
| That kind of stuff is what always holds me back from having an older car. I'm a wimp. I'm scared of mechanic bills. Even when I was with my ex who was a mechanic... the parts add up, too. I hope your baby is better soon and stops costing so much money! |
| from lissacakes : |
| a buttery yellow kitchen. soooo nice. yellow is so my favorite color. i like the layout too. i need one that scrolls, too! my entries are always too long and they look funny. |
| from sicknick : |
| new layout is very cool...but maybe making the text a little darker would make it easier to read. by the way, i wish you and your mom the best...sounds like you're doing all the right stuff! |
| from lissacakes : |
| Your mom is lucky to have a daughter like you. Stay positive and I'm sure it'll help her tons! You're awesome! |
| from lissacakes : |
| Alas, I didn't do my own template. I didn't know any HTML till I started fumbling around with diaryland. I still now basically nothing. Anything I change on the templates is insignificant and trial and error. I got it for free from www.ms-dicks.com/design, but I went there yesterday to switch to a different Vargas girl - a blondie with stars - and there was a post saying the designer has quit and won't be hosting the images anymore and you'd need to have your own server hosting the pics. I don't and I don't want to pay for gold membership here, so I may be changing templates soon. |
| from lissacakes : |
| Hopefully, they'll agree to your compromise. I think it sounds very rational and fair. When I think I so want to live in San Francisco, I totally neglect to think about the traffic/parking... not that it wouldn't still be worth it. |
| from lissacakes : |
| I won't be deleting your note. I agree that he must be trying to keep control of the situation. I should clarify that if not sleeping together is at anyone's expense, it is more his than mine, as I am shall we say taken care of way more than him in our current state. He seems to be a very sensitive guy and for some reason he has chosen this as his big issue, but it doesn't mean I have to deal with it. I'm starting to think that if he can't work this out rather quickly, he and I will be a non-issue. I can't handle people making dramatic stands all the time. I disgust myself when I do it, and it's the one aspect of my life where I do demand rationality from myself. Just get off it. |
| from lissacakes : |
| I am okay. My shoulder hurts a teensy bit. However, I have no health insurance, and the other driver was uninsured, so I'm not making a fuss unless it seems to become more than just a little sore. |
| from lissacakes : |
| Sweet!!!!! Your dress looks gorgeous and you look beautiful. SW's not so bad himself. wink wink :) |
| from lissacakes : |
| Just read my profile description... he doesn't deserve me! How sweet. :) Thanks! |
| from lissacakes : |
| Yes, total Americana. My picture: a cherry red '69 Chevy with step sides and a wooden bed. A parking lot car show. A hot dog and a Coca-Cola in a glass bottle. Nothing brings on nostalgia like big, heavy, old cars. Well, I guess music... but I kind of think cars and music in the same thought... hmmm, Beach Boys. |
| from pixie0323 : |
| people would have to be crazy not to love him. and yes, i would totally make out with him. after all, he does have "strong lips" as they say in the movie. i love your diary. i was reading it tonight and i think it's so cool that you got married by an elvis in vegas. i've always had this weird love of elvis impersonators. i don't know why. shhhh . . . don't tell!!! just kidding. i'll be checking in. congrats on being a newlywed! |
| from lissacakes : |
| Are you in Indiana? For some crazy reason, I thought you were in San Francisco. |
| from lissacakes : |
| I knew a guy who went to a big car show in Vegas every year, but I think it was custom/ modified trucks mostly. I'm assuming this was vintage/classic cars? Oh, whoopie! I love old cars and muscle cars. Have you ever heard of Hot August Nights in Reno, NV. I've been to that a couple times. Awesome. |
| from lissacakes : |
| Congratulations. When you're all rested up from the festivities, hopefully we'll get to hear about Vegas and the wedding - and the two Elvi. :) |
| from lulublu : |
| Good luck with the vocal and wedding business....way to rock it. |
| from lissacakes : |
| I will have to look up that phobia. I will never look at a banana split the same way again. He said, "but I'm afraid that would change the dynamic..." Oh, boy. His intellectual reasoning skills that I so lust after are working to my disadvantage. So, you are getting married and making your own wedding dress?! So cool. I so want to learn how to sew, but classes are offered when I'm at work. :( I'll get a book or something. |
| from lissacakes : |
| Hey, notes, yay. Wonderful image on your diary... Bubaloo suggested he should be called La Tora if he isn't into me. Not an actual Spanish word, but I appreciate its dimensions of meaning. |
| from rock-a-betty : |
| Uh, I just figured out how to turn this on... |
