Smells like Christmas

Though a Christian holiday, I still love christmas. This being said the first day of December, mind you. I stayed home yesterday because of a gun threat at school. Instead of barricading myself in, I set up all our christmas decor.

I love the air of the season. Everyone is much kinder. Rather than asking for a bunch of crap I'll get sick of December 26th, I like to donate money or gifts for charities. To get you in this same spirit I want to share a touching story of a little boy who recieved my gifts:
His name was Micheal. I "adopted" him through my school's program for the Neighborhood House, a school for the disadvantaged in Salt Lake City. Out of all the kids, I thought he was the cutest. My mom and I got him all the things on his wishlist. A pair of jeans, a warm sweatshirt, a t-shirt, some shoes, and a Transformer. I wrapped them proudly knowing that I would help this sweet little boy have a merry Christmas. I turned my presents into my home room teacher, who was also the coordinator for this program. A few weeks later, we watched a short video about the Service club's trip to Neighborhood House. I saw Micheal opening his gifts in a short clip. My teacher came over to me and told me that Micheal at first didn't beileive that these gifts were for him and set them aside. This dear little eight year old didn't believe in the kindness of strangers until he was assured that all of these nice gifts were all his.

My Official Favorite Show

As a child, I glued myself to the TV with images of Steve Irwin, Planets Funniest Animals, Animal 911, etc... In conclusion, I was an Animal Planet freak. As I grew up, I outgrew these shows and moved onto MTV and VH1. Animal Planet was just boring to me. Until I discovered Lost Tapes. Lost Tapes is like reading the Skeptics Weekly magazine in the checkout line at Smiths. Its the "actual" tapes of people's encounters with mythical creatures as well as some background from experts, or in this case, the writers of Skeptics Weekly. I find it entertaining and much scarier than anything the aforementioned networks can concoct.

Best Cartoon Ever

Thanks to our new special cable, I have access to 1,000 channels of nothing to watch :) Actually, I've never been more addicted! I found a new cartoon on a kid's network called "Growing Up Creepie". Its on Discovery Kids and is about a little goth girl named Creepie Creature who was raised by thousands of bugs in a condemed victorian house.

Mmmmmm Tasty

7 entire "beef" patties, 2500 calories, 5 inches tall, and simply inhaling the smell will give you a heart attack. Fast food has sunk to an all time low. Japan has released the above mentioned last meal as a way to celebrate the new Windows 7.

0:46-0:50 show just how much grease and crap is in this monster.


For once I am actually dumbfounded and speechless

About Time Mr. Stoker

After 112 grueling years, the wait is over my friends, Dracula 2 is being released by Bram Stoker's great grand-nephew appropriately named Dacre Stoker. It is called The Un-Dead and picks up after the vampire hunters seemingly successful murder of Dracula, but little do they know, that he had a young woman vampire who slowly begins to pick off the gang. A police officer thinks that it is Jack the Ripper on the prowl.


Hopefully this follows the "flavor" of the original. Hopefully Dacre doesn't include werewolves. The sexy vampire is already dead, in all of his cruel, pale, non-glittering pallor.

My Eyes! They Burn!

May I introduce quite possibly the greatest website ever created:
Peopleofwalmart.com

Its like a car wreck, the harder you try to not stare and continue with your day, the more compelled you are to gawk. The worst part of is, I can't laugh at some of these because I know people who go to Wal*y World like this! And so do you.

Uncle Charlie!


Granny's packin' heat


Yes... The sign is a must.


Holly Hobby is starting to age


You have to wonder what Bud is doing with all that beer and oil


Why?! Why in public? I bet your mother found these hilarious when she picked them up in Italy


There should be an application for procreation


Gram.... Please put on some clothes

My Eyes! They Burn!.2

It looks like a hot pink garbage bag filled with creamed corn.


I've been to this Walmart... Dude is dressed for the Grammy's compared to what I've seen.


Wal-marvelous

God Is His Co-pilot


Seriously. I found this in the store parking lot. Its Hay-suess with some little lambies and and psalm next to it. By the dents and nicks on the truck, I would assume that Jay-sus isn't protecting him too well. Huh...

Nice Muffintop!

Or rather cupcaketop. Neiman Marcus has the perfect mode of transporation for our tough economic times. I introduce to you, the cupcake car:

My thoughts exactly. The descripton of it is one of the best parts:
Put on your matching hat, slip under the muffin top of your Cupcake Car, and let the world figure itself out for awhile. Get (or give) the sheer, joyful chaos of a gift that is mind-blowing, triple-dog-dare, double-infinity forever cool. Make the kids or grandkids literally squeal with joy. Bring it to work and buzz the breakroom. Crash parades! Putter about the ‘hood. Ever had a crowd of kids chasing after you just for the crazy gleeful heck of it? (No worries, the top speed is a comfy-safe 7 mph.) What’s it made of? A 24-volt electric motor, a heavy-duty battery, sheet metal, wire, fabric, wood…and mad genius. Launched at Burning ManSM as a cooperative art car project, the Cupcake Car sprang from the fevered mind of Bay Area artist Lisa Pongrace and her less-rules-more-laughs posse of artists and techno geeks. Yours will be tricked out with your favorite topping, so start thinking flavors.


The crashing a parade part sounds fun. It also could be a new form of streaking. Personally, I think it would get more attention than a pasty naked fat man running across the feild.

It runs entirely on batteries and makes people smile. Take that Smart Car!

I've Heard of a Vengeful God...

But isn't this a little on the extreme side? My little brother found this in a gift shop in Jackson Hole, WY.

A Direct Violation of Animal Rights!

Now even Rover can join the cult!

I'm sure my Lilian can fit in it as well

Hey! I Saw You At The Show Last Night!

Maybe I did... Maybe I didn't. Either way, I went to Flogging Molly with the beau last night. He was terrified of his sweet little Karlykins getting crushed. I held my own fairly well, if I do say so myself. FM was incredible live! Very enegergitic and funny. Definately on my "to see again" list. Alex has seen them 4 times. The whole time I was against the barricade or right behind someone. The pits were crazy. Alex was directly behind me and kept getting nearly sucked in. Got crushed many times, kicked in the face by a crowdsurfer, had to keep pushing a guy twice my size out of my way, and came home with about 20 different people's sweat on me. Yuck.

It's all the punk show experience I suppose. There are a series of unsaid rules that one should abide by though:
~Girls take care of girls
~Don't get sucked into a pit, your'e paying good money to get beat up?
~Protect your lungs to avoid passing out
~Don't give up your coveted spot. You waited in line for 2 hours! You snooze, you lose
~Crowdsurfing is dumb, don't do it
~Enjoy!

The opening bands were great too. Fitz & The Tantrums and Hepcat. Neither of which are my first pick for openers for an Irish punk band but still pretty great. I highly suggest that you check them both out:

Your Feet Will Thank You

Just what the world needed. A fur rug hot glued to Burkenstocks. Fur processing creates an untold amount of pollution(not to mention the cruelty, my little hippie friends.

Now Even Fluffy Can Be Crockin'!

*drawn out sigh* Seriously? Only a true crazy cat lady would match her cats bed to her own hideous shoes.

Pshhh... Baby ride



My aunt and I rode this in Vegas. It's not nearly as scary as it looks. Much more mellow than the swing ride at Lagoon! It's even better at night. If you do one thing in Vegas(besides going the Liberace museum) ride this!

To my dearest Alex


'Nuff said

What Happens In Vegas Ends Up On Blogger

I have returned from my fabulous trip to the fabulous city of Las Vegas. Manson was incredible! One of the best shows I have ever been to! He sounds the same live as he does on CD. He can definately put on the best damn show you will ever see.

My aunt and I stayed for 2 nights at the Jockey Club. It was a timeshare "resort" that wasn't part of a casino, so it didn't reek of smoke. It took 6 hours almost to the minute to get there. We ditched our bags in our comfortable suite and hit the Strip. First, we wandered through Ceasar's Palace, saw fake Elvis, and went to the Mirage. We walked around in Seigfried and Roy's Secret Garden. They had dolphins and rare white big cats. It was a face-melting 115 degrees that afternoon. We ended up in the Venitian and met the Blue Man Group. We ate a yummy(and ridiculously expensive)Italian dinner at Lavo. We walked a few blocks back to the Jockey Club. I got all dressed up in my fishnets and heels. We took a cab to the Hard Rock. I felt like a celebrity when the valet opened my door and invited me to step out. Neither of us were searched or anything and could have brought the camera my aunt reluctantly left home. We had pretty good seats. Watched the concert in the comfy balcony of the Joint. The opening band sucked. Don't know who they were but I never want to listen to them again. The concert ended about midnight. It took us half an hour to get back with all the traffic. We sat by the pool at the Jockey Club until 2 and retired for the night.

The next morning we hunted down a Trader Joes to stock our kitchen with munchies and food for later. On the way, we found the Liberace Museum! A close second to the highlight of my trip. It was the most fab-u-lous thing we did. We even tried on a reproduction of one of the robes he wore! My aunt got a Liberace t-shirt and tried to get me to get one. After that, we found the Fabulous Las Vegas sign and got our pictures taken with it. Kermit even joined! To here his stories go to: . We then went to Coke and M & M world. They were crazy packed because of the rain. We headed over to New York New York to ride the rollercoaster, The Manhattan Express. Kermit sat up and enjoyed the ride in the very front car with us. We then went back to our room and vegged out in front of Ocho Herbie(Herbie Fully Loaded in Spanish)and other fine spanish programming. We then took her car to the Stratosphere for some more rides. We got a pass to go on all 3. The Insanity:

It dangles you 900 feet above the Strip and is a really mellow ride considering the backdrop.
Then the awful X-scream. Never, ever, again!

And finally, The Big Shot. This is our actual picture we got.

Told You Disney Was Evil!

While checking my e-mail I came across an article about Disneyland/World/Universe. Seven people were recently caught scalping tickets to unassuming tourists. Pictured below:

Not really. But everyone at Disneyland wears fanny packs and scant shorts.In this failing economy, many families still flock to the "happiest place on earth", where the street cleaners are paid more than I am and pedophiles hug kids while wearing Winnie the Pooh costumes.
Cops seized some $131,000 in park tickets to Walt Disney World, Universal, and SeaWorld, plus another $6,000 in cash. The tickets were real, but unfortunately, their provenance wasn't.

The Big Yellow Dinosaur

School starts next week. By this time last year I was hassling my mom to let me ride to school with my boyfriend. I ended up on the bus. I was demoted 10 levels from a classy Corolla to being surrounded by the nerds. Even the anime kids get rides to school.

Luckily, Granite School District doesn't use school buses :). I can now ride in style in with my friends like a normal person.

Need I mention the dangers? I can catch something(and have). There aren't any seatbelts. And I may as well be dead now from the social suicide.

Case and point:

Spring has sprung. Fall has fell. Three more weeks and I'm back in hell.

In just a few weeks I'm returning back to school. Only, now without my beloved boyfriend, best friend, Cassie, or really anyone I know. I must have pleased the universe somehow though. My best friend of ten years, Kaily, is going to same school. It's all coming full circle!

I haven't done anything fun this summer because of my boyfriend's, 6-5:30 job. Yet. The last weekend is making up for it all! Marilyn Manson in Vegas with my favorite aunt! I'm super excited. Hopefully my mom will make up her mind quick because August is approaching fast. School starts the 24th. I'm actually excited because of my stagnant summer. The the 25th... Depeche Mode with my same favorite aunt!

Operation: Flee Stepford

For the past eight years, I've been exposed to the perfect, blessed, Bountiful, Utah. I saw high upon the mountain of superiority where the higher up you went, the more cash Ma and Pa could shove down your bless'ed little throat. We lived in the mother-in-law apartment of my Grandparent's modest little house. I loved the spacious, forested backyard. It was my own little escape from all of the cruel neighbors. You know the ones I'm talking about. Mom is a perky blonde stay at home mom. She slaves so that her six brats can wear the latest and greatest fashions from Abercrombie and Bitch and drives fancy sports cars back and forth to school. Dad is a workaholic who uses index cards with the kids name and interests on it.

I was more than happy to move. My little brother was the last to find out. I already had my bookshelf full of liquor boxes by the time we told him. The only reason I didn't want to move was my darling boyfriend, Alex. Before we were only five minutes away. Now we are about 20 with decent traffic. He has a great family who accepted me immediately as a member of their family. I didn't want to leave them.

Moving in the middle of high school is difficult. School is going to be hard in the fall. Atleast I've got my two best friends from Kindergarten by my side though.

We are almost settled into our new, normal, existance at the mouth of the lovely Parley's canyon. Everymorning I wake up to the sun on Mount Olympus and know that I'm finally home.

Salt Lake City is a whole new breed of cat. For non-locals, SLC is divided into about twenty towns, townships, and neighborhoods. The people here are different. They are slightly more understanding of those who don't decide to follow the church. I recieved a new insult a few weeks ago. Rather than going to hell, I'm going to outer darkness. Sounds fun right? I quite like the dark and I'll be fine if I'm away from bless'ed ones.

Things Unsaid

Pardon my hiatus. The family computer crashed and I haven't had much access to a computer other than at work or when I can convince my Gram that I'm not the reason her computer is slow(she puts magnets on the CPU). But anywho... I'm going to be posted a couple of entries to make up for everything.

The Mothership Has Landed... Again

The Mormon church has just opened the doors to another one of its temples. Great...... More people getting gyped of their money. Like Utah needs more! All of the tything money little children give to the church goes toward paying off the head honcho's BMW and huge home. Yeah yeah, I know they do some good things with it, but a small percentage of the tens of thousands they get anually from the average religious idiot goes towards frivalty. What about the schools who barely scrape by on educating their broods? Because of people like this, my school is using textbooks that fall apart because the district is broke.

And their little minions(missionaries) who stalk the street searching out the non-beleivers like bloodlthirsty lions. Just to get some more brownie points for Elder Manson. They got my innocent little brother a few months ago. They baptised him, taught him how to drink the kool-aid, and even showed him the secret handshake. Baptising is a ritual(cults do rituals and ceremonies BTW) to cleanse the person of all sin. These people are typically eight years old. What kind of a sin does a sweet little eight year old have? Its a form of child abuse preying on them like that!

I'm not Mormon, and I turned out just fine. I do more to help the community than any of them. I stay away from drugs and bad situations because I learned right from wrong. It has nothing to do with "eternal" happiness. Infact, hell has always fascinated more. Thats where everything I like will show up : ) I don't plan on becoming a house wife to ten bratty kids and a husband who doesn't even love me. I don't exactly believe in saving myself till marriage. If I'm in love, hell your'e only young once right? I know what a condom is. Why do these people send their daughters to school to get an education and if they dare bring home anything lower than a B grade, they get beaten, if they will waste it in the end and become exactly like their mother and start the cycle over again?

What The Universe Sounds Like

80's electronic music band Depeche Mode, just released a brand new album called Sounds of the Universe. How does the universe sound? Amazing! With catchy rythms, pounding bass, and driving beats, I listened to the CD four times straight without a second thought. I was overjoyed when I saw a commercial on TV saying that they were coming to SLC in August. My auntie bought us tickets. : ) 15th row from the stage.

The album simply drips in DM's classic darkness. Songs like "In Chains" seethe sexual energy. While "Miles Away/The Truth Is" have a fast paced beat. Not to mention that the guys still look great!

"This is vegan?!"



I just celebrated my sweet sixteen. I was just going to settle with making myself a little cake and letting my family and my boyfriend's family indulge in a yummy rum torte cake from a little parasian bakery called Glauce's. Instead, my mom was talking to one of her co-workers(who is a vegetarian) who had a friend in her office who owned a vegan bakery. This is where my mom got my super delicious chocolate choclate cake with raspberry filling. the bakery is called Cakewalk and is behind one of my favorite chinese restraunts, Joy Luck.

I have made cakes like this, but I was happy to have one custom made for me. After dinner, we all went back to my house for cake. The adults were turning up their noses up at the thought of a cake made without eggs or milk. It was amazing! After a few nibles, the adults were digging in and asking for seconds. I heard mutterings of "This is vegan?!" and "I can't believe how sweet this frosting is without butter!" And my favorite(and least favorite) part, the cake was gone within 24 hours! When does that ever happen between 7 finicky non-vegans?

A few nights later, my boyfriend took me out to on an all day date. We went to Joy Luck and got a box of vegan cupcakes before we went in. The people(all 2 of them who work them) were super nice to us. We got 2 chocolate, 1 vanilla, and one black forest(the best by far) cupcakes.

Here is their myspace. check out the pictures and get the rag:

Staying off the streets

I have decided to write a book. Its called Saving Grace and its a fictional book based on my personal experience in animal shelters. My inspiration was a little tortie kitty named Freeway who was found on the side of I-15 in downtown Salt Lake City. I fell in love with this little cat, her story touched me. She was a very sweet cat and i wanted to take her home with me. Saving Grace is about working in a rescue shelter and rescuing Grace. I adopt Grace and we live a happy life together.

It supports rescuing pets instead of buying them in pet stores and how money should be donated to save these amazing animals.

I am talking to Tofu hound Press, an indie publisher for animal rights and veganism books, about publishing it. I'm very excited for this book! It's a dream to see my writing in a a bookstore or at least an online store.

Propagandhi

For those of you wondering how to pronounce that... It depends on where you're from, Prop-a-gandhi(as in the protester) for those of you Americans. And Prop-a-gandi(rhymes with candy) for our Canadian friends.

Propagandhi is a Canadian hardcore band. They have a new album out called Supporting Caste. Even though this album is different from all there other music, it is still incredible. They are all vegans and sing about things like that there is no such thing as humane meat, how you can't even go to a hockey game without seeing the horrors of war, and how when the label of "human" or "dog" is removed people will eat any kind of meat. Their lyrics are all gay-positive, pro-feminist, animal-friendly, and anti-fascist.

Their song Human(e) Meat, they talk about how a man was killed kindly(think about those last twowords, kill and kindly) and eaten, with wine pairings! Human meat is no different than a cow or a chicken. Its all mammall flesh. : )

"Seriously, if we as a society can't even bother to treat a simple, unassuming, stunningly gentle and demonstably sentient creature like a cow or a deer with a medicum of decency, how the f*** do we ever expect to be able to treat each other infinately more complex, widly divergent and often exasperating indivual human beings with anything even remotely resembling civility? It just ain't gonna happen"-Jesus H. Chris

I found that quote from the Intermission very insprational and very true.

The Haunting in Conneticut

The Haunting in Conneticut is so far the scariest movie I've seen all year! I saw it on its opening day and fell in love with it. Though I could do without the whole theater experience(crying babies, screaming girls, sticky floors, etc)

Thought I'd share this little clip. It fully explains my feelings of movie theaters : ) If you don't like it, don't watch it : )

The movie was absolutely breath taking! I sat with my mouth wide open through half of it. While my boyfriend burrowed into my sholuder, a sly smile spread across my face. Bodies fall out of the freaking wall! Go see it now! It is so worth five of your money and 2 hours out of your life!

Based on a true story, The Haunting in Connecticut charts one family's real-life encounter with the dark forces of the supernatural. When the Campbell family moves to upstate Connecticut, they soon learn that their charming Victorian home has a disturbing history: not only was the house a transformed funeral parlor where inconceivable acts occurred, but the owner's clairvoyant son Jonah served as a demonic messenger, providing a gateway for spiritual entities to crossover. Now unspeakable terror awaits when Jonah, the boy who communicated with the dead, returns to unleash horror on the innocent and unsuspecting family.

Sing A Song About Coraline!

A little late, but I'm doing a few posts about movies I've seen recently. Starting with Coraline. I read the book by Neil Gaiman a few months ago after I heard about him through a writer I worked with named Chauncey.

Coraline is a wonderful movie in the true spirit of the dark and scary nature of Tim Burton. I don't suggest bringing small children to this movie, though it was innocently marked with a PG rating. The other world was frightening at times. The 3D was kind of ho-hum. It was more like being in the room with the characters than having things jump out at you.

11-year-old Coraline Jones moves into the Pink Palace Apartments in Ashland, Oregon with her busy parents, Mel and Charlie Jones. When Coraline does all her tasks her parents asked her to do, she goes to meet her neighbors, Mr. Bobinsky, and Miss Spink & Miss Forcible. After the ladies tell her about an old well not far from the house grounds, Coraline decides to find it by using a dousing rod. While searching, she meets an odd boy named Wybie Lovat, and it would appear that she and Wybie have a small "love/hate" relationship. Although Coraline found Wybie annoying, he showed her where the well was. After returning home, Coraline goes to sleep in her new bedroom. She then wakes up hearing a strange noise and sees a mouse in her bedroom. Thinking its one of Mr. Bobinsky's mice, she chases it to the parlor of her home and finds a small door. Curious to where it leads, Coraline goes through it, and finds she's in an alternate version of her house. She then meets inhabitants of the Other World, such as her Other Mother, Other Father, her Other neighbors, and even Other Wybie. She ends up loving the Other World, and visits every night. Her Other Mother says she can stay in the Other World forever if she is willing to sew buttons into her eyes. Coraline then refuses and goes to bed, thinking she'll wake up in her real bedroom. But when she wakes up, she's still in the Other World. She realizes the true dangers of the Other World, and discovers that her real parents were captured by the Other Mother, who is also referred to as "the Beldam". Now Coraline must count on her courage and a mysterious talking black cat to escape the Other Mother's tricks and traps, rescue her parents, and free the trapped trio of ghost children.

Crocs

As a high school student, I attend a few dances with my handsome boyfriend. The day usually goes as such: For a day activity we lunch at a yummy vegan cafe, getting dressed to the nines, getting fawned over at my house, going to his house to be fawned over, go to the dance, dance, get pictures taken, get smoothies, dish about the fashions, and go home around 10:30. At the Christmas dance, a girl was wearing this elegant dress that looked like it cost more than my entire outfit. But she was wearing Mary Jane styled Crocs! The least she could do is wear flip flops.

I don't care how comfortable they may seem. They are ugly! You can find nice, comfortable, fashionable shoes pretty easily. It only takes a feew days to break in a nice pair of heels. Blisters are better than looking like a nurse.



Awwwww

Green is the new black

Am I the only person who sees how hypocritical this whole "green" movement is? Several weeks ago in the Gateway's food court I saw a woman wearing a "Green is the new black" tshirt. She had one of those cloth tote bags all the stores are persuading you to use. Yet, she was wolfing down a McDonald's Big Mac and shoved a large thing of fries down her throat. Seriously? The meat industry is responsible for like 80% of the world's pollution! Plus, I don't think McDonald's uses real cuts of meat, just the left overs from other places. Not to mention that in a few years that lady's arteries will look like this:


Then, while at the store with my mother, I saw a woman unloading her herd of kids from her Escalade(sorry kids, since Mormons started using them to tote their kids around, you don't look like a bad ass, you look like a soccer mom). She was wearing a shirt with a peace sign on it and had an arm full of cloth totes. Environmentally conscious hippies do not drive Escalades : )

This picture is kind of sexist as well... What if Timmy wants to do ballet and Suzy wants to play soccer?

If you truely want to be "green", go vegan. It it is a form of non-violent protest and gets the point across that you will not stand for cruelty. This is where America gets their newest hot word: coexistance. Coexistance means getting along with all walks of life. Including animals and humans.

I'm done with my rantings for the day. Remember, don't give into trends and stay freaky : )

Not your Grandma's Peter and the Wolf

Again, my choir teacher was too busy to have us rehearse, so again, he put a movie on for us. It's a new version of Peter and the Wolf done in stop motion photography. The puppets are incredibly lifelike. It won an Oscar last year. Hundreds of years ago, a composer by the name of Prokofiev composed a work that was adapted into this new version of this story. The different characters are represented by different intruments. This short film was beautifully done.

Freaking amazing

Today in choir, our teacher was really busy so he just put a video on for us. It's a performance group called Blast!, they are like a marching band that dances with their instruments. It's like describing the taste of salt to a person born without tastebuds... difficult. So I'm pleased to present Blast!:

Dressing up dogs

How many times have you walked down the street to see an angry looking chihuahua wearing a shirt that says "Bite Me" along with matching boots and a diamond collar? How many times have you seen a pug wearing goggles while going on bike ride(or rather being dragged behind its owner)? Poor puppies. I can understand fleece jackets during the winter. Infact, my pup Mazie has one.

She wears it mostly in the winter and sometimes for the family Easter party. Its cute, but not over done.

Awww. How cute?

For their sake, please do not dress them up! They are not accessories! They need the same love and care as a human baby.

And the asshat of the month award goes to!...

PeTA! As stunned as I am? Didn't think so. What kind of "animal rights" group euthanizes 94% of the animals they take in? Remember, Speciesism(Thinking you are higher than animals)is no different than racsism and sexism. They cover both in their demonstrations. Need I even mention that Ingrid Newkirk is bat-shit crazy?


I'll stop wasting my breath and get to the story. PeTA demonstrators in New York city dressed up as members of the Ku Klux Klan and handed out leaflets that read "Welcome members of the AKC" AKC was crossed out and KKK replaced it.


Does this ever end? PeTA reminds me of that five year old kid who will go to no end to get attention.

I'm just a sweet transvitite

34 years ago the world was taken by storm by the loveable Frank N. Furter. I'm talking of course about the wonderful Rocky Horror Picture Show. If you haven't seen this movie, get in your car and rent it! My top 5 reasons:
5~Its catchy musical numbers
4~Tim Curry pulls off make up and fishnets better than a lot women I know
3~Marilyn Manson is Frank in the remake(coming to a theater near you)
2~Its about tranvestites from space
1~Tim Curry looks fab-u-lous in drag


Sing along kids

So cool I have a pizza named after me

Good news everyone! You can walk into Papa Muphy's and order a Karly pizza. What is a Karly pizza you ask? Why its the most amazing thing you've ever eaten! Its a cheesless pizza without any thing but olives. sounds gross.... but incredible. It's totally vegan and good for you since it doesn't have any calf chow on it.

Combichrist

My new music obsession is a Norwegian industrial band called Combichrist. They played at the Avalon theater last Saturday, sadly I missed them : (

This is from their newest album Today We Are All Demons:

Scenesters


You've them at the Gateway, school, shows, movies, clubs, you name it. Those stick thin girls with bleach blond hair with brown or black under. They look like street urchins who haven't seen a mirror in weeks! Stop this atrocity!

Welcome to my new blog! As the title suggests, this is a blog for freaks, vegans, goths, and girls(and guys). At least once a week I will post my opinions on the music scene in Salt Lake City, high school, fashion, and the dull life of suburbia.
