Black panties and my new black and silver satin corset. That's all!

I don't think it's funny, but I don't think it's upsetting, either. It is what it is; a natural disaster destroyed an inanimate object. There is no mention in the article of anyone being killed or seriously injured by this, and it did not destroy anyone's faith. We were talking about this concept in Buddhism class this weekend. Faith lives inside those who believe in it. It does not live in statues, churches, temples, and religious symbols, those things are material. If those things are destroyed, yes, it's frustrating for the artists, architects and workers who created and built them because there is nothing left to show for their hard work, but it has no bearing on the intangible elements of faith. Do I think that the $300,000 to $700,000 (according to the article) they will need to rebuild the statue could be spent on better things? Absolutely! I think rebuilding it would be a huge waste of money, no pun intended. But since I am not contributing to any funds for the running of this church it doesn't matter what I think they should spend their money on.

Jeans, black and white patterned tank top, little black cropped sweater.

I like the song, but I do think she sounds a lot like Ace of Base (and by extension, ABBA) in this song.

I wasn't going to say anything, but since you are looking for a new venue, here's my two cents: Sunday and Tuesday are both horrible nights for a club. Where ever you end up, aim for Wednesday, Thursday or Friday nights.

Too cute!

Does anyone know what this is going to cost us? If someone already posted it, I apologize for being blind, but I can't find that info anywhere.

I feel like someone needs to hide my credit cards because I am really temped to spend $80 on a steel-boned corset that I totally don't need. I haven't been doing the clubbing thing, so I would have no place to wear it, but it's marked down from $300, and is black and silver, just like I have been wanting...

It's really boring being up this early on a Saturday, but I can't get comfortable to go back to sleep.

Black ruffled babydoll top, black linen pants, black wedge sandals hairtie, glasses, sparkly black eyeshadow.

Vulnerable, which I hate! Stressed and panicky! Like I can't stop crying over seemingly minor things.

Gray capri length running pants with pink strips down the side, panties with orange and yellow ruffles on them, black sports bra, lavender tank top, glasses. Can you tell I hate wearing jeans when it's humid?

First of all: I am very sorry to hear of your loss! Second of all: Based on my experiences, the only instance where I think suicide is a satisfactory answer to one's problems is in cases of terminal, debilitating illness as a means to shorten the suffering. Like many people I know, I have suffered with bouts of depression and had suicidal thoughts. But I could never actually go through with it, and do that to my friends and family. There are so many other things one can try, and in the end it really is the ultimate act of selfishness.

A little less pissed and stressed out than I was an hour ago, now that the fuckin' papers are taken care of. Thank you for helping me out, honey!

Having my interview this morning go fairly well, and getting another call to schedule an interview tomorrow.

I hate my life! Can I come to the pity party?

A little sick to my stomach. Dreading going to this party tonight...

I'm pretty sure it's been mentioned already, but pants and shorts with words printed across the butt. Nothing says "I have a huge ass!" like turning your backside into a billboard.

I don't have a problem with liberals or conservatives if they are open-minded to hearing the other side's arguments. Most of the famous, hardcore conservatives, and liberals, are closed-minded and obnoxious about trying to spread their beliefs to everyone. Anyone who can say "Well, I think, blah blah blah, but others think yada yada yada, and that's fine," is cool in my book. I consider myself pretty close to the middle, with a slight lean to the left. As far as agreeing with views, though, a lot of the people on this board are way too liberal for me, wanting to legalize pretty much everything and give us every possible personal freedom with no regard for how it's going to affect the country and citizens. It's not always possible to give a certain freedom to one group without taking some away from another group, and it seems like a lot of people don't think that through. I will admit when I hear people say things like "I want to see a return to traditional values," I cringe, for reasons similar to what others mentioned. There were a lot of f-ed up ideas in the history of this country, especially concerning the way people of color, women, gays, and non-christians were treated, and to see our country regress to that would pretty much be my worst nightmare. I realize that is not the only interpretation of that phrase, but it is what comes to my mind when I hear such things.

Blah...

I confess that I am procrastinating right now when I should be filling out more job apps. I confess that, while I hardly ever have trouble coming up with things to say online, I have absolutely no idea what to say to most people in person. Small talk does not come naturally to me at all. I confess that I don't understand how some people can make "friends" so quickly. There have been times I've heard people refer to me as their "friend" and I was like "Wait, really, we've only hung out 3 or 4 times?!? I haven't even shared any major secrets or anything with you?!?" I guess my definition of friendship is different than most people's. I confess that on Saturday when I was driving on I-94, and traffic was narrowing down to one lane for construction, I was highly annoyed with a couple of people getting into the other lane to try to cut in front of all the people who merged when they should. Then, two of them smacked right into each other, and I laughed my ass off and didn't feel the least bit sorry about enjoying the fact that they caused an accident by being douchebags.

The town I grew up in hadn't really felt like home to me in years, and now that my mom's passed away, her house doesn't feel like home to me, so I have no desire to go back to the backwards little hick town I grew up in. When people ask me where I am from now I say Lansing, which is about a 25 mile lie. Now, home is where Charlie and my kitties are. Space and location are pretty much irrelevant to me, home is being with the people I love.

Oh yeah, and I did mean to mention the excessive heat in the summer due to the poor ventilation in my first post and forgot. I do think allowing patrons a place to go outside would help immensely with that, though. I've never really had any problems with the winter temperature. If I am cold, I keep my jacket on until I have had enough of a chance to warm up with drinks and dancing.

Regarding the bathrooms, the dirtiness, and the drama, yes, I agree, that's more the fault of the patrons than the staff of City. As someone else mentioned, though, it would be nice if they at least had someone to go in the bathrooms once during the night with some extra TP and a plunger and make sure the bathrooms were at least tolerable. Having someone make an attempt to clean up the bad spills right in the middle of the dance floor and main pathway to the bar would be nice, too, though I don't see it happening. That's really a minor annoyance, though, not something that would keep me from going if I really wanted to. It's the first two things I mentioned are what really irk me. That and the fact that the last few times I've gone I've just not enjoyed my night at all. The last thing isn't strictly City Club's fault, but it keeps me from wanting to go back, nonetheless.

Either put in some kind of a smoking patio, or fence in an area outside, with a bouncer, where people can go to either smoke, or just get outside for a few minutes. And don't charge people extra to go out there! Not sure why this aggravates me so, since I smoke maybe 2 cigs a year, but it does. Get a good sound system for the dance floor area, and then TURN THE FRACKIN' MUSIC DOWN IN THE BAR AREA!!! The main reason I haven't gone since February, and don't really plan to go in the near future, is the music in the area where people are supposed to be able to order drinks and talk was so loud it hurt my ears, and I had a sore throat the next day from screaming all night. I've come to accept that the club will never be anywhere near what I consider to be an acceptable level of cleanliness, but finding a way to keep all of the toilets consistently working is a must.
