This week has rocked: Wednesday was the Vegetarian Thanksgiving/movie night with Reefer Madness the movie musical, and then a mini drum jam in the living room Thursday was the real Thanksgiving at another of the neighbor's with people from easily a dozen households and everybody brought food and pie. There were so many people all talking and laughing and there was music playing. Friday I ate some herb and sleep for most of the day, dreamed of the grand canyon. I am so glad to be staying here this winter. I was thanked for asking to come out here. I have an awesome roommate. I am building a new group of real friends. Sit down and start talking for hours kind of friends. Multiple friends. I make food with people. And this is life. I didn't even realize that what I have felt lacking since theatre has been community. I thought it was just theatre, but it isn't. I thought that the friends that I kept from that and then added to the group later (Chris)... well, I don't know what I thought we were. Family. And you all are still my family. I don't think I ever had realized that my community could be a real, functioning community. Big and full of families on a whole bunch of properties. People who know what is up and people who are to be the change they want to see in the world. This is an awesome place. This is home | | Friday, November 6th, 2009 | | 4:11 pm |

October in OR
I have done little but work since last Tuesday (after not really working since June), my days off have been full of errands. I will have maybe two days off a week for the next five weeks. I have been working 9, 10, or 11 hour days. It feels both nice and terrible. All I do is sit and snip. There are three kinds of snipping and the first two are almost done and then it will be weeks of one type of snipping. It is cold in the morning when I go inside. It is cold at night when I leave. I am told it is warm during the day. It smells good all day. I need more music, the community's pirate radio station plays hours of the Grateful Dead and they just aren't my cup of tea. I want musicals. I want to make an Into the Woods hippie style production. I have been laughing my ass off (in my head) thinking about the bean stalk being pot. I really love my life. I may not be hooping or reading much right now, but I will be soon. And I love the people I work with. I love the work I am doing. I am really digging the town I am in. I never thought I would find a small town this cool. As far as I know, there are only five stores and two restaurants in this town. But there are sometimes concerts at the Out of the Way Cafe. There are pancake breakfast once a month at a community hall. There is a free lunch every Tuesday at a church. There is an old mining claim anyone can go camping on or walk around or whatever. There is a public pond up the road (less than a half hour walk). I get to walk a cool trail and cross a stream by hopping on rocks to get to my friends' places. Everything here is beautiful. I think every October I post about how awesome everything is. Last year was a tribute to TRF I would really like to share this place with people, but I don't think I know anyone who can work this kind of work and work hard. Sucks to be you :P Current Mood: ^_^Current Music: dutch brothers music | | Saturday, August 29th, 2009 | | 10:17 pm |

I think this whole place is odd
maybe the plural of mongoose IS mongoose, and the singular is mongoo I chipped my front tooth a little bit today. Smacked it on my glass gallon water jug. Maybe I should start using cups. It isn't visible until your face is practically in my mouth, but still... I can feel it. lol, as if my teeth weren't sharp enough already Also, I can hoop six at a time. Not well, but a week and a half ago I couldn't do two at once. news flash romantic entanglements sort of freak me out also, omg! hot! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S4UDnRrMUTk&feature=related Current Mood: schtuffCurrent Music: easy skanking | | Sunday, July 12th, 2009 | | 9:34 pm |
additive/subtractive
how many hippies does it take to change a light bulb? three: one to motivate, one to actually do it, and one to find the lightbulb (he was organizing while on acid the other night).... it is a community effort! hahaha.. its funny because it just happened ^_^ So this past week I learned that when taping stripes onto hula hoops, the colors add the same as light rather than pigment and so red/blue/green make a rainbow when it spins really fast. We played with different color combination on a fan before taping the hoops. It was fun! Current Mood: hoop helmetCurrent Music: lawn mower! why is someone mowing at 9:45 pm | | 12:38 pm |

So I have had to leave two different gatherings in the last five days because there are people fighting and somebody said somebody has a gun and the cops are coming. At least the second time this happened nobody pulled a knife on me. Hello Detroit Current Mood: hmmmmCurrent Music: across the universe | | Monday, June 29th, 2009 | | 2:59 pm |
highs and lows since I've been back in MI. I rolled in Thursday morning, the cat and I spent about 20 hours in my car (including sleep) with no ac. Not a happy cat. But she is doing well now. And I am doing well. I really miss oregon. stuff Current Mood: jhftrggkhggfd | | Sunday, June 21st, 2009 | | 8:23 pm |
blarg...
so I have lost about ten pounds since the AZ ren fair. I think I may have gained it all back in one meal. I am so full. FULL is my entire world right now Current Mood: helmet was no match for medCurrent Music: the most lovely rufus | | Saturday, June 20th, 2009 | | 1:43 pm |
so I started rerereading QC. 183 is especially funny now that I know some ICP ninjas. Picking a fight with one does seem like the worst idea ever... Also, I am hoping to rideshare people in my car for the rest of the way to MI. It should be fun, wish me luck.. both in finding people to share with and in not getting killed by them. This was my my email to someone looking for a ride from Kansas City (which I am passing through): "Hi, I'm heading into KC on Wednesday and heading to MI, I'm not going to Rothbury (can't afford it), but I am more willing to give someone a ride up. I am not heading back to KC, I will have a cat (and litterbox) with me, and I know this would get you there a week early.... so if you say no, I understand. However, I do have clean driving record and a car that gets an average of 30 miles to the gallon." lolz btw, still in CO. Should be visiting friends at the fair monday and taking off tuesday. I like CO, I could srsly get used to this place if OR ever goes the way CA will and crumbles into the Pacific. Although, I like OR, CA, and the pacific enough that I may just stay if/when that happens. Current Mood: ride with me, I have a hemlet!Current Music: incubus | | Wednesday, June 17th, 2009 | | 9:48 pm |
ah haha hmm, CO, yes Current Mood: be heeCurrent Music: Wookiefoot of course | | Monday, June 15th, 2009 | | 1:46 pm |
I really shouldn't have looked at the line up for Rothbury this summer. Fuck me. Wait! $30 work exchange. OMG I WANT IT. $30 and three 6 hour shifts Also, yay for impromptu circus practice with some folks that I met at the beach and followed home! Current Mood: think less | | Sunday, June 14th, 2009 | | 12:03 pm |
So I'm doing that whole 'making the best out of things' thing it isn't hard, I'm having fun. So what that life fucked with my plans, if I can't enjoy life anyway then I fail. I am not going to be very financially stable for the next few months, but I think I'm going to be enjoying myself more doing this travel route than going to TX, even though it did mean parting from Kevin sooner I'm crashing with my cousin Cassandra on the CA/Nevada border, hanging with her friends and she is showing me around this town. It is pretty chill here, half tourist/half hippie. She is going to possibly take me kayaking on the lake here, it is a huge mountain lake and completely beautiful. And she is pretty broke herself, so I don't need to worry about the things she is going to take me to do costing money. We crashed a hotel's free breakfast this morning by sneaking in a back entrance and stashed some food for the rest of the day. And everybody bikes and walks around if they live here so I don't really need to worry about running out of money if I just stay for a few days. goddamn, I love CA "I'm left hand of God. I'm much harder to understand. While the right hand will coddle you like a child, I will push you to be a man. All of the troubles in the world will fall upon my name. But if you drown in that mighty ocean, the ocean's not blame" -Saint Peter and the Serpent, Wookiefoot Current Mood: not fuckedCurrent Music: wookiefoot | | Friday, June 12th, 2009 | | 8:22 pm |
So at the AZ ren fair, our company had overstaffed and when we got there we were told that we didn't have jobs. Everything worked out though. Old news. It just happened again. The fireworks stand overstaffed and we are the ones cut. We aren't even there yet. I have no income until the Mich ren fair. I have jack shit for money until then and I'm still in CA. At least it is pretty here. Wish me luck Current Mood: fucked | | Thursday, June 11th, 2009 | | 4:22 pm |
BUBBLE TEA IS AWESOME and so is the rest of CA. I have now seen (and played in) the pacific ocean, and experienced the redwoods and the Golden Gate Bridge. I'm going to miss the west coast... but oh well, I'll be back. Yay, autumn! in case you missed it the first time, BUBBLE TEA IS AWESOME also, free concert tonight, YAY Current Mood: bubbleCurrent Music: wookiefoot |
