“I can’t believe he’s gone                 
I can’t believe you’re going                  
I can’t believe this family must die              
Angel helped us believe in love                
I can’t believe you disagree
I can’t believe this is …Goodbye”

In all the places I’ve ever lived, and of all the places and times, I’ve never felt like I’ve had the kind of family that is portrayed in Rent. It’s not a family of genetics, but a chosen family. A family of friends, that makes your life better, stronger, fuller and ok, in my world…more perverted. :p
Right now they’re talking about the origins of the word asshat (see also asshelmet)  while watching the Rent extra DVD.

I really need to find a job soon. I don’t want to move away from this. It feels like home.

I’m grateful.

She lives in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. She made mention of us hanging out if I ever got up to her neck of the woods. So I go over to google maps… and this comes up:

First of all, what’s up with North Dakota? I think google maps is trying to tell me something ;)

I get frustrated because I don’t take any road trips anymore. Even though I owned a motorcycle in my youth, I’m not a big fan of them. But I’m seriously thinking of buying one so I can make road trips without a huge cost of gas and mileage on a car (you can pick up a smaller cc bike for under $2000 usd that gets 60 -70 mpg).

I spent it all with my best friend in the entire world, Jennifer. She came over and picked me up and we took these pics before we even drove away…


So we jump on the interstate and are headed down the highway… as we are driving we start smelling this odor… Apparently Jennifer’s dog, Mae, was pissed that I took over the front seat and dropped this little present for me….

Then the bitch had the nerve to wink at me!

After a short pit stop to clean up Mae’s little suprise we were back on the road. Here are some images from the road:

We got to Jennifer’s moms and went in and after a bit we ate. It was quite yummy. Afterwards Miss Mae decided to sit on Jennifer, and I say sit, I mean sit….

After much food and convo Jennifer and I left and came back home… before we left we took this pic…that I LOVE.

I will be glad when I don’t have to wear a bunch of makeup just to appear feminine. That is exactly the reason why losing weight and getting laser is top on my goals for the near future.

Anyhow, we went to the AlleyCat, my favorite straight bar.

I love taking pics! ;)

Some bar ambiance……

Good times, good spirits, and good music! Yes, they were singing!

On Sunday and I went to the alley behind the AlleyCat. Most of the walls around the alleycat are filled with graffitti. We took many pics!

We then went to the Lilly House and took pics there….

We then went to the Graveyard across from the Lilly House. This isn’t just any graveyard, it’s Crown Hill Cemetery. President Benjamin Harrison, Colonel Eli Lilly, 11 Indiana Governors, 1 Kentucky Governor, 14 Indiana Mayors, 13 Civil War Generals, poet James Whitcomb Riley, author Booth Tarkington, automobile manufacturer Frederick Duesenberg, and the infamous bank robber John Dillinger are all buried at Crown Hill.

Party on Wayne!

Me knocking on death’s door.

I love this pic of Jennifer.

I love how my hair looks in this pic

Jennifer and I say… “ya……righhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhht!” :)

Just add this one because both Mae and I look possessed! ;)

All in all, it was a great weekend!

Then I went to the Indianapolis Zoo which is right next to the Gardens.

This pic made me think of the Patriot Act and what it has done to the privacy and personal rights.

This little one made me think of what it must be like to be imprisoned in a place that isnt your home.

Thats bull!

So ya, the zoo and the garden were fun….but they would have been better had the kids been with me. I long for them soooo much.
