Margaritas, Ventura Stops and Writing

 Waiting for people to be awake so I can start calling. ๐Ÿ’• Yep, I make morning calls and texts to all my favorite people. Too many to actually count.  Sue picked me up for dinner. We had watermelon mango margaritas and just chatted the heck out of our time together. She is going to let me borrow a overnight bag because I'm getting on an airplane to Arizona. I'll be in AZ for about four days. I think only one commune knows I'm coming. This isn't until May though. Sue is heading to Arizona for the weekend so that will be fun for her. I asked her if she was going to Cave Creek and she said she doesn't think so. Nuts! I need to get more Arizona spices which tend to be a little on the hot side. I have one that Emory puts on our veggie burgers and tofu that tastes excellent! It's hard to find novelity spices out here, though there is a place called Spicetopia, but you only get an ounce for $5.99 and up which is pretty expensive.  With everything going up in price, who...

V for Vendetta, Apartment Fights and Writing

 Mozart won't let me type. ๐Ÿ˜‚ This makes it so hard to get any stories done. "People shouldn't be afraid of their government. Governments should be afraid of their people." Alan Moore - V for Vendetta (If you haven't seen that movie.... well, go see it!)  That said, we've been having wild nights. This woman was screaming outside our window and this morning, more screaming so I went outside because I wasn't sure if she needed help. She was throwing out all sorts of expletives and degrading words. There were people outside, and they said she tried breaking into their car and into the building and they were calling the police.  I hate calling the police because when Emory was badly hurt, I called and was on hold for almost ten minutes. It was frustrating because people were trying to talk with me and I could barely hear the recorded messages as I was waiting for emergency to pick up. I'm just grateful for all the souls that stayed with me until the police...

LA Museum, Farmers Market and Writing

We went to the Los Angeles County Museum and that was fun. It was a bit of a drive from the valley and parking... don't get me started on parking! $$$ for 30 minutes or the whole day, doesn't matter, it's $21.00 so we got our tickets to the museum and decided afterwards that we would just go get lunch somewhere. There were three levels to the main building and we started at the top. There were so many pieces that I really found myself attached too. So many pieces were made by revolutionists and I can't wait to see what art comes from our revolution as we deal with our own demons in America, because I feel like we're heading down a dark road. Goddess knows I feel fear...  I also realized that after learning about Pablo Picasso that I am adding him to the artists that I don't like. Now that is a little different, because he's a single name on the newest list of reasons for artists that I just can't get behind. It's all morally gray really... I just kno...

Fundraisers, RPG Maybe and Writing

We went to "Tip a Cop" which was a fundraiser for Special Olympics. It was fantastic! It was a restaurant at the mall so we showed up early and there was no line but there were a massive amount of cadets! It was so fun and I think only one representative from the Special Olympics was there. I would love to have gotten his name, but I don't want to be overwhelming to anyone so I kept to my small circle. The commune came out to eat with Sue and me. ๐Ÿ’— The weather out here is nice. I would love to have walked the mall as that's not something I really do and I want to see what the "Disney Princess" line is at Bath and Body works. I saw it advertised for a second and really wanted to see for myself what was out for testers.  The rest of the week has been kind of quiet. I watched a horror-ish movie or maybe suspense? I'm not sure, but it was really good and at the end I was like "No! No way!" and even though the villains were all disgusting, I really...

Thrift Store Dress, Rainbow Bridge and Writing

I am reading articles and seeing pictures for the "Last Supper Project" which is extremely interesting. It's about the journey of Joseph Nana Kwame Awuah-Darko and his journey towards assisted suicide. People have reached out to cook him something special on his journey.  I think California has assisted suicide for terminally ill patients.  I wish that option was available for more than just terminally ill patients. I would like to have that option when I'm older. I don't want to be at the mercy of a facility. Especially if my brain is going. I don't want all my money to go to the home keeping me comfortable ... or maybe not so comfortable ... while I watch television and wonder what people are doing.  Sue and I had some free time so we walked to Goodwill. I found the cutest little lacy dress that looked like something from 1920's and ended up buying it. The price tag was decent and the dress was in good condition, so why not.  We ended up finding a littl...
