Its not really friendship unless blood is drawn

I am working on a friends birthday present and I cut myself today and bled all over everything including the present. I know, it is gross but it cleaned up pretty easy so no damage done. Though I don't know how the recipient will feel about it if they read this - just don't think about it. Its the coolest thing though, I am so jealous of my friends, I buy awesome gifts.

Insomniac Again

I haven't been able to really sleep the last few nights, partially because it is so hot, partially because my dog is so hot that he spends all night whining and panting, partially because I can't stop thinking about my book and the house. I like to sleep though, sleep is good. I will try harder tonight.

Going Pictorial

Next Monday and Tuesday I will be in NYC but when I come back I think I will do an all picture blog for a week or so.

I am pleased to report that my friends aren't dead

They are just even worse emailers than I am. As one of them said "I am such a lazy ass". I knew that if I thought something horrible had happened to them that they would be okay.

Unfinished Documentaries

I love documentaries. I wouldn't say that I love them all better than regular movies but I would say that I like many more documentaries that regular movies. Real life is fascinating. Here is something that annoys me a bit though - I have a lot of friends who start documentaries and never finish them. Two in particular come to mind, one about a crazy Brooklyn wigmaker and one about burlesque. The thing is - I really want to see these movies! and not just because they were made by friends of mine (hint, hint ladies).

Speaking of camcorders

I have been meaning to buy a camcorder for a while but now I have decided that I will definitely do it soon before I go on my road trip to tennessee in a couple of weeks. I think it will be a good road trip to film.

I keep doing things backwards

What kind of retard am I? I have been having this weird backwards day. Here are some examples:
I called my voice mail without even checking for the voice mail beeps
I pushed control-Alt-delete to log on to my computer before I had even turned it on.
I got ready to scrape the paint from the dresser drawers that I am refinishing before I applied the stripper.

Like I said - retard. Or maybe I am just distracted by something, though what, I am not sure. The control-alt-delete was really the dumbest. I know there are a few of you who are reading this and are shocked to discover that I don't have a Mac. To you I say - I live in the real world, my computer is not a toy.

I have started writing a book

A real one, not a 30 day one. But that is all I want to say about that.

Denver Derby Dolls

I wish to start a girls roller derby league in Denver. It will kick ass. Who's with me?

I spend a awful lot of time doing nothing

Here is one of my biggest faults - If I have a lot of things to do, I get so overwhelmed that I do nothing instead. Lately I have been the queen of this. I have house stuff to do, quasi-fake band stuff to do and a lot of chore type things like laundry and cleaning. So far, I have done almost nothing this weekend except for hang out with my dogs. Bad Amanda! After I finish this post, I promise I will start cleaning and doing laundry. Then I am going to unpack some boxes. The worst part is that I really wanted to go away for the weekend with my dogs, just for a night or so to like the down south to the sand dunes or Santa Fe but I thought "no I can't do that because I have too many things to do at the house". Well now I have done none of them plus I went nowhere. I suck.

Am I the most paranoid person on earth?

I have to believe there are a lot of people more paranoid than me but sometimes it doesn't feel like it. Like if I send one email to a friend and don't hear back within 24 hours, I start thinking that they are dead. But then it gets even weirder because I am convinced that by thinking they are dead, that means that they won't be dead. But if I am calm about it and assume something like they are out of town or don't have email access - then I am sure they are dead. But then I am thinking they are dead. It is a vicious cycle. I am sure that it also proves that I am totally insane. But at least I am insane in a thoughtful way.
