i forget about my LJ for months. when i get around to posting again, i realize just how much i miss it. a few friends of mine have started using twitter, but i think i am way to self-absorbed and long-winded to confine my entries to just a sentence or two (although my entries have gotten much shorter than they used to be).
i've been very homesick for ohio lately. crazy, i know. i think its because my mom is sick. it makes me realize just how far away i really am. i'm going home in january for a week. i just hope that makes me feel better. it's so strange that i moved to a cool fun little city, but i was way more social when i lived in youngstown.
i don't think i mentioned that we got a puppy! she is a black lab and i named her bacon. she is now 13 weeks old. she dressed as a banana for halloween (for about ten minutes before attacking the costume and attempting to rip it apart).
work has been good. most of my clients are strippers or old ladies, so that keeps things interesting.
i'm really into watching history channel documentaries that i get from netflix. currently i'm watching one about the dark ages. i just finished one about the salem witch trials. next its on the the philadelphia experiment.
my current food obsessions are smoked almonds and laffy taffy (not eaten together of course). but i'm not making a long term commitment to those foods.
i want a zebra print snuggie to further cement my status as a hermit who does nothing but watch tv. i may wear it to work at some point. just because i can.

according to the eugene weekly, at the fair this year, one of the many food options is "chocolate-covered bacon". the weekly also included a picture for those without an imagination. interestingly, the picture was right next to the picture of the pig races. so i couldn't help but think that perhaps the loser of the pig race was destined to become the next batch of chocolate-covered bacon. those are pretty high stakes for the county fair. its very "thunderdome". two pigs enter, one pig leave.

if you guys want to see what i do all day, you can check out http://www.myspace.com/nailsbystacy
today at work i moved from the main floor of the salon to a small private room. the owner let me pick whatever color i wanted it to be painted. i chose a lavender/periwinkle sorta color with black window frames and shelves. its nice to be able to listen to my own music (cheesy 80s metal).
i got a new tattoo recently, a cartoon zombie pin up girl eating a brain with the words "beauty & brains" on my left forearm. i am considering getting a tattoo of the cartoon version of me from tastyflesh.com (an awesome online comic by marty whitmore that features a bunch of stripper girls, including one based on me, who fight zombies). hey marty, if you still read this, let me know what you think of me getting a tattoo of your work!

i was just reading over some old entries (i.e basking in the glory of my capricious youth). sigh, those were the days.
i really like plastic. many of the objects i use on a daily basis are plastic. in fact, acrylic and gel nails are both polymers. people pay me to apply them. therefore, plastic=money.
most of the people who live in eugene are pussies. life is too easy here. weather doesn't kill anyone, there are no natural disasters. fuck, people don't even have the decency to kill each other. it's depressing.

I totally forgot about this thing! Any of you kids who still read this thing will be glad (or possibly surprised) to hear that I am not dead.
I do have a boyfriend now and have for a little over a year. things are going really well. its actually quite strange, when things are going well, its hard to think of things to say about it. unfortunately, it seems that drama makes for better journal posts. lets see, hmm, well my boyfriend is a professional body piercer and has been for 9 years. we're really boring and just hang out at home watching movies most of the time. at first that was weird, but as time went on and i didn't hear about (i.e. wasn't involved in) the latest drama, i started to like it more and more. i feel less stagnant and much more content than i have in years.
i've also been doing nails now for over a year. its absolutely amazing. i make money playing with glitter and sitting on my ass. what could be better? the best part is, that since i'm an independent contractor, i dont have a boss. so if a client really annoys or offends me, i can tell them to fuck off and go away without fear of repercussion. plus the money is good.
jared (the boyfriend) and i are looking into buying a house. i will spare you the paragraph about how the market is really good for buyers, blah blah blah, tax credits, blah blah blah, etc.
i'm going to buy a pit bull and name her bacon. because i (and all sane people) like bacon.
i am thinking of changing my hair from black to red.
true blood is my latest obsession.

yesterday, lori and i went to the impromptu sawyer family show at the indigo. they were playing with some random band from denmark. all the guys in the band from denmark wore ill-fitting pants. i got to see my friend jody who used to bartend at the nile when i danced there. i'm pretty sure that every person in the bar was fall down drunk, particularly the band members. so, needless to say, it was a kick ass show.
after the show, we got a hot dog from the hot dog cart. the hot dog guy now knows my order by heart. i should be embarrassed of that....but i'm not, since i am incapable of experiencing emotions like shame or embarrassment. one look at my collection of ex-boyfriends will attest to that.

i can't watch soft core porn anymore because i become to engrossed in the story lines. right now, i am really into this show on cinemax late night called "co-ed confidential" in which a bunch of stereotypically hot young college students get into ridiculous situations that always end in random people sleeping together. but i'm not even interested in the sex part, i'm concerned with the character interaction. every week, i'm at the edge of my seat wondering how karen, ophelia, james, and the rest of the cast will be able to fuck their way out of whatever quintessential college problem they are facing. so if you want a show with a riveting story line and some broads with poor done breast augmentations, i suggest you tune in.

guys in eugene are, overall, bad in bed. i think the main problem is that they lack the passion born out of misery that guys have in youngstown. there is this strange sense of "i'm having sex as an alternative to suicide" that people have in my home town that i really miss.
i've been feeling strangely nostalgic all week. i think it's because i'm coming home for a visit soon.
my little davey turned 21 a few days ago. that's so strange to me, to think of my boy all grown up. i have an indescribable mix of emotions when it comes to the subject of davey.
i randomly received a message from an ex boyfriend tonight. he apologized for treating me poorly when we dated several years ago. it was completely unexpected (and as far as i'm concerned, completely unwarranted because i don't think he was that bad to me. but then again, my basis of comparison leaves much to be desired). but the note made me feel good nonetheless.
tonight at burlesque, i drunkenly argued with roxy that i could use maslow's hierarchy of need as a moral justification to have commitment free sex. she disagrees. i also decided that i need to make membership cards to distribute to all the guys i have slept with, basically forming a "stacy's sex partner club". it will be the responsibility of the members to elect their own president. i personally think it should be either nicky (if they want a kind, peaceful leader), since i loved him the most, or tyler, because he is the craziest (not in a bad way).

*on the 8th day, the lord created cotton candy blizzards.
*i talked to derek last night for a long time. wow, i didn't realize how much i missed that boy. he always make me feel better about things. i encouraged him to go back to being a rockstar and he encouraged me to ditch the bullshit suzy homemaker, easy-bake oven routine.
*i am getting more and more excited for my ohio visit. it will be a glorious week of random drunken makeouts and excessive pasta consumption.
*burlesque night tonight.
*i've decided that i no longer believe in the power of love, but i still have continued faith in the existence of bat boy.

*my boyfriend and i broke up in may and i moved out. i was upset at first but now i couldn't be happier.
*i'm coming to ohio to visit from july 7th-13th. i'm gonna go to the fair and watch the demolition derby and get heckled by carnies.
*a couple days ago i went on a date with a hot greaser who works as a firefighter. he has a nice torso and i only let him get to first base (i know, i've become a total prude!).
*i'm going to watch female pudding wrestling on friday with roxy.
*i've been thinking a lot lately about Maslow's hierarchy of needs.

went to roxy's parents' house for thanksgiving. it was fun. we played scrabble and i ate new food.
i was briefly talking to this insanely hot boy that i met on halloween. but there were some things about his lifestyle that i wasn't into, so i stopped talking to him.
tomorrow night, some friends and i will be making our way out to john henry's infamous annual "moustache rally", which is a "celebration of the beauty of the moustache." i'm not sure exactly what that entails, but i'm sure it will be a fabulous time.
i was thinking about it today, and i have come to the conclusion that i want to bring back the extended make out session. like 8th grade style. remember back in the day when you could just make out all day and that would be enough? i miss those days. it seems that the older we get, the shorter and shorter the amount of making out and foreplay. it's unfortunate.

i swear i'm going to start writing more often. i always mean to, but never get around to it.
so yesterday i dumped my latest dude, the greaser boy. the whole situation was really unfortunate. but all things considered, i'm doing quite well. in my experience, i have found that, when relationships end, there always seems to be a good guy and a bad guy. in most cases, i'm the bad guy. but not in this case. it's actually a refreshing change. i was really pleased at how supportive and caring everyone has been towards me. after i kicked greaser boy to the curb, i received a bunch of emails, texts, and myspace messages from a bunch of people. i talked to several of my boys on the phone (nicky, derek, chetter, etc) and they all thought that dude was crazy to have acted the way he did. tonight roxy and i went to the indigo to support the burlesque girls, and i got free sympathy drinks from both patrons and staff. word travels fast in this town and for once i'm glad about that.
and i am unbelivably glad that this situation happened before halloween weekend. if i had wasted the best week of the year worrying about this kid's whiny bullshit, i would have been so pissed. but lucky thing for me (and him), i got rid of that dead weight before the celebrations began. and i have had a sick sense of extra self confidence all day long. i forgot how good it feels. nothing like emasculating a grown man to boost my ego.

so roxy and i went to a disco party last night. regrettably, it was totally lame, mostly as a result of poor planning on the part of the venue. but roxy and i looked amazing.
in recent weeks, i have found that i enjoy getting ready for events much more than the events themselves. i think that this is because people often disappoint you or let you down, but eyeliner and mac lip gloss never do. this is also why i hold my television in such high regard. it's just so reliable.
a few days ago, at work, i saw the most adorable thing i have ever seen. a tiny little emo girl and a gay mexican boy, both around 15 or so, were taking turns holding a 9 week old pug puppy that had a neon orange cast on its back leg. i don't think it's entirely sanitary for me to allow a puppy in my candy store, but i couldn't resist. they showed me how the puppy has to walk all funny, we talked about high school musical and i gave them some free sour patch kids.
i recently found this book called "why men love bitches". the title seemed promising enough, but the book left much to be desired. basically, the author's advice was "don't let people treat you like crap. being a doormat is not attractive." she proceeded to reiterate this thought over and over for several hundred pages (actually i only managed to get through about 50 before i gave up). seriously though, are there people out there that are such desperate losers that they have to be told not to let others treat them like shit? is that really advice that people will pay for? i was under the impression that that was common sense.

i haven't updated in months. i kept meaning to, but i just never got around to it.
quite a lot of things have been happening. i broke up with my boyfriend. it's definitely for the best. i'll just leave it at that. i've been casually dating this new boy named eamonn. he's nice, we have fun, etc. but it's quite casual. i would like to be in a serious relationship with someone at some point, but i think i want to take a little break from that for now.
i had my boobs re-done in mid june. my old boob job looked really nice, but i wanted them bigger. i was a C before, now i'm a full D or a small DD depending on the bra. i also switched from saline to silicon, which look and feel much more natural. the recovery time was way less this time.
a couple days ago, eamonn and i went to see poison at the douglas county fair. the band was awesome. they mostly played their older songs, only like two newer songs. they were all very tan and had extremely white teeth. after the show, we went to the downtown lounge for the concert afterparty. cece deville signed my boobs and said he liked my tattoos. i attempted not to swoon.
my mom and brother are coming to visit me on tuesday. we are going to the portland zoo for a day and to the coast overnight. i think we are just going to hang around eugene the rest of the week. i want to take my little brother to the saturday market so i can show him some real live hippies.
i'm going home to ohio for a bit in october to visit my family and to get a new tattoo from joe. i like visiting in october because there is so much fun halloween stuff to do.
speaking of halloween, roxy and i are going as axl and slash this year. i'm also going to be carrie at the events that she and i dont go to together.

roxy had her prom birthday party on monday night. we rented out john henrys for the night. i made a ridiculous playlist full of cheesy 80s and 90s music. i'm going to say that if it wasn't the best party ever, then it was at least in the top 5.
highlights include:
jenna getting loaded and screaming at chet because he isn't a "real canadian"
roxy's hypnotic booty shaking
getting the john henry's bar boys to dance on the stripper pole
a cake shaped like giant boobs
a hello kitty pinata full of condoms and lube
the prom queen receiving a prize package which included gifts like a home pregnancy test from the dollar tree
me changing into several different prom dresses
free cab rides home
receiving excessively long voicemails about denny's sausage
i know there is so much more (that i will probably remember after seeing all the pictures) but i can't remember long tracks of time after about 11pm. and i have all these random bruises. but i guess those two things in and of themselves are signs of a good party.

last night, the boy and i watched a short film called "pelts" that dario argento made for the masters of horror series. i can say that it was, without a doubt, the most horrifically disturbing thing i have ever seen in all my life. i have seen literally hundreds of horror movies, and nothing comes close to how grotesque this was. and meatloaf is in it. so, needless to say, y'all need to go watch it right now.
