the shins

the shins must be the "in" college band right now
because it was PACKED at 1st ave even tho we went on an all ages night .
and i saw actual "preppies" there that looked like they just came off their "yacht" in their flip flops and plaid bermuda shorts. (i kicked them all in the groin in my mind.)
i haven't seen it that crowded in forever.
but now that i am old and cranky i cannot deal with standing there in my high heeled glitter wonder woman boots while some super tall sweaty ass neanderthal college guy in a flannel shirt stands in front of me at the very front of the rail (i hurled him off the ledge in my mind very many times). he could have easily seen over everyone there. but no, he had to be in the front because he was only 8 feet tall.
so i drank my overpriced beer and sweated it out.
at least there is no smoking in there now, which was a very cool thing, except now you can smell that no one had taken a shower in at least a week. so i'm not sure which is worse, smelling them or smelling cigarettes.

if i had been younger i would have gotten myself into a better position and drank more so i would have enjoyed it more.
but i'm old and cranky now and i have better things to do. like bitch in my lj and get restraining orders against my mom and pet my dogs.

it was only their 2nd night on tour, so i give them slack. it's also very difficult to get good sound at 1st ave.
but their sound is much more to my liking on cd than live.

they were very likeable, cute and full of energy and i'm sure they will get plenty of babes on their tour do to their charming presence.

but i already have my man, so we went home after 6 songs.

glad we saw them, tho, just to see!

but damn, it was hot in there and crowded to the gills!

glad to be home :)

6:00pm

my mom just emailed me AGAIN.
she doesn't seem to realize that she is going to get served any day now.
she told me again to cash her cheque she sent me and stop being so stubborn.
nice.
soon it will be illegal for her to do this to me.

i have lots of proof now
i mean even after she emails me my own email where i state if she emails me i will get a restraining order on her, she emails me again.
she is unbelievable.

in an hour i leave to go see the shins. i haven't eaten anything yet (and don't know if i can)

but i will go get dressed now.
i'm hanging on to my sanity.

ok, i've made an appointment at the courthouse for 3pm on thursday of this week for the restraining order!
gah *stomache ache*

all they need from me at this time is just my sworn statement.
and i will print out emails of me telling my mom to leave me alone then show her emails of her not leaving me alone.

and that is all they need from me right now

i asked if i needed witness testimony and do i need it notarized...but they just said they don't need any of that right now.
but i do have to write out my whole story on this, so that is what i'll be doing for today! how fun.
that and finding the drivers for my printer so i can print her emails and my emails to her.

so i guess i'll just tell you what information i learn on thursday!

i can't believe i am really going through with this.

it's so surreal.

and i need to come up with $257 on that day because i am not able to prove to them my income in any way, at this time (long story)
so i don't really know how i will come up with that money by thursday, so....

if anyone would like to donate money to help me pay for this restraining order against my mom,
please go to:
http://www.ana2.com/anamart/

and buy a nonrecurring gift membership to ana2
and in return i will mail you one of my artwork/drawings.
i have a whole bunch that i was going to sell.
but i will use it for this cause instead.

they are the very last of my drawings from my childhood. so this is a REALLY good deal
that will never be happening again, simply because once this stuff is gone, it's gone forever and i will never again have any more of this to sell.
i will just select it for you because if i have to take pictures of it all and then match it to everyone, it's going to take me forever to do that.
so the artwork you receive will be a surprise.
but it will be good and it will be signed by me!

that is just the only way i can accept money by credit card is the ana2 gift membership way, at this time.
and i don't have paypal.
so please if you can donate to help me with this restraining order.
i'd REALLY APPRECIATE IT!!!
because i do not have $257 dollars at ALL.
and i rrrrreeeeaaaalllyyyy need it by thursday!

then just tell me what username you picked and an address to send you the artwork!
(my email is anavoog at gmail dot com)

Horoscope for Aries (April 12 2005)


You may be feeling a little restless today. Act on your gut feelings and make a move that will put you in a position to fix anything that you feel has gone array. Partnerships can be formed, but some of your peers will not agree with what you are doing.

and

Fair exchange
You feel contented and benevolent under this influence. You are at peace with the world and want to share your feelings with everyone whom you meet. Friends, in particular, may be the beneficiaries of your generosity, as you may benefit from theirs. In either case you both will benefit, because everything done under this influence becomes a fair exchange in the long run. This time is favorable for all financial enterprises, especially those involving foreign investments, medicine or the law. Any legal matters decided during this time will also work out to your benefit. A new friendship or love relationship that begins now will be beneficial. Such a relationship will bring out your best qualities and can truly be described as a growth relationship. You are attracted to high-minded and upright people.
