what's black and blue and stained with red

Dude, my legs. The red is blood from the part where I am terrible at leg-shaving. It's embarrassing. The blue and black is from bruises. From me. Sometimes I am like, hmm how hard would I have to hit myself with this to create a bruise? Actually not too hard. Weirdly. Anyway, my legs have little blackening bruises now, they're quite pretty. And one red mark that's sore.

I got off work early today. Wahoo. And went shopping with mom to Goodwill where I got a freakin' awesome lamp, do you know those Tangle toys what are all twisty and whatnot? Yeah it's that but a FUGGING LAMP. Fuck and yes, right? Also, I have no lamp, which makes me sad on the inside. At St. Vinny's I got a blue shirt for work. Because I don't have many work shirts. It's a light blue and I don't look half bad and the only bad thing with it it's a little tight and the outline of my bra shows but then I realized all my shirts do that really. Mom tried to pick out clothes for me and oh god. Really ugly stuff. And way too big for me. I think she thinks I'm fatter then I actually am. Aww man. This happened last year, too. Hnn. She's on this big 'aj wants to lose weight' kick lately. And I do. But man. I am lazy and don't care much. What I do care about (doctor who, TV, crocheting, yarn, and food: mostly everything, despite the name of this blog- I do care about some things, clearly, and it's a joke kind of ahahahah) is wearing neat clothes like Lolita and Goth and fuckfuckfuckwhat'sitcalled STEAMPUNK. I was thinking Clockwork for a minute. Anyway. Some flipping awesome clothes. For ah skinny people. So this summer I'm gonna try to lose weight and save money for clothes. Also I have told myself- lose some weight and I'll cut my hair. Fuck, I hate having long hair. It is awful. Always tangly and long and shit. It's awful.

My dad says to me the other day, Father's Day, 'aj what if you wanted to get a couple days off of work?' and I say, 'well i would ask my boss a couple weeks before and I'd prolly get it' and so Dad says that in July he's got a week off and wants to take us camping (argh ew) and then to Silverwood (first thoughts: we go there every frakking summer and it's boring when you've seen everything 10 times, second thoughts: they've got some cool shops and uhh a new rollercoaster so it wouldn't be half bad). So that might be cool.

I love/used to love Silverwood. For those who don't know: it's a theme park. According to it's commercials it's "the biggest Theme Park in the Pacific Northwest." Well it's not like your narrowing it down there. It's between Silverwood and like a carnival. Basically. Anyway. Silverwood used to be a flight musuem some guy owned Just Because and then he bought an old train and this is out in Idaho, right, (fuck is it in Idaho? or washington? huh, i dunno) so he's got all this motherfucking land and he just does tours of all this land on this old Train and then he buys a roller coaster (the first metal one ever made, the Corkscrew, from Six Flags i think) and then another and then some carnie rides and then they build a coaster and the rest is history. The theme, I think, is 'lame'. No, JK. Old-timey is the theme. Two of the coasters are wooden- Timber Terror, which is shaky and jarring and very short, and Tremors, notably a very kick-ass coaster. The line is always hella long. It's wooden and it goes underground. Twice. And in one they take your pic- in case you wanted a picture of yourself looking terrrified or throwing a gang sign at the camera. Whatever. Although they won't sell the picture to you if you are throwing a gang sign or anything 'offensive'. Yeah, like Disneyland. There's the old-timey train, which goes on a very boring tour around the surrounding area/forest and there's a stupid skit they do where these guys try to "rob" the train. It's never funny. Never will be. Mostly everyone just swears at the "robbers" or flips them off. That's the funny part. There are a shit ton of carnie rides that are plain and have short lines. For the first time last year I went on the fucking errr Super Round Up. The one where they just spin the fuck out of you. Then I wanted to throw up. Argh. The Corkscrew is a short, quick, jarring coaster then never have any fucking lines. Amazing. There are old-timey shopfronts and a Build A Bear type place and one of those places where you can get old-timey photos of you in old-timey clothes. And an old-timey tea shop where I've never been but want to. Maybe I can go this time. Without Blake and Dad. Maybe if Sandy comes she'll want to go with me. And the motherfucking MAGIC PALACE. Shit, shit. I love this place. Love/hate. So I used to fugging LOVE the magic show- even if I never got picked to go up. but I saw it a few years ago and the dude, the magician, SUCKED. So he'd go- what'd everyone think of THAT trick? and everyone was all ooh ah and I was all ADEQUATE. Last year was worse and at one point we were just booing him or laughing. Suuuuck. Bu there's a nice little magic shop I'll have to stop at. And Boulder Beach is the water park, but I've never been a huge fan of water parks in general. If there was nobody else there, maybe. But as it were. I'm gonna talk to Dad about this Silverwood thing- I want to go but not like for the whole day, I want to go later in the day when the lines are short and there's not a lot of people there. Because you go earlier, you just spend the whole fucking day standing around in lines, and when the lines actually start getting short- you're tired as shit and just wanna sleep. Maybe.

My back hurts from typing I need to crochet socks now.
