What are you doing/did you do tonight?
 

This could be interesting. I'm curious to know what you guys do for fun.

Tonight, I attempted to have fun by going to a magazine launch. The theme of the launch (can't believe I went a function with a theme, but it happens) was Venting. So, they had a bunch of terrible actors venting about relationships and impotence. It was truly terrible. My friends and I spent the night looking at each other with that "you gotta be kidding me" look. Then we went for drinks at our usual hang out. Discovered a new martini. Very tasty. And now I'm home. That was my night. Anyone else care to share?

gross. actors venting. I was here. I've done things on other nights, but not this one. aren't you glad I shared? I must admit, however, that I have had many deep thoughts, and earth shattering revelations, as i am wont to do. That's a pretty usual occurrence, though. tonight it was deeper than most nights. I once again saw the banal-itude of humanity, and how there are just things that most people won't ever understand. quite the productive evening, no? What's the new martini? Now that, is a discovery worth talking about!

the martini? I guess just the martini. Humanity? I guess just humanity. deep thoughts? just deep thoughts. Banality? I guess just banality.Etc.

My friends heard the description of the contents of the martini but I didn't. They were all oohing and ahing over it. So, without knowing what was in it, I ordered one. It had a lime flavor to it. A really nice pale green colour. Maybe we should call it "I wouldn't trade you for jade or for diamonds!" or maybe just shorten it to "Jade and Diamonds". But I don't know what really was in it. I think vodka, I think I heard him say lime paste. Not sure what that really is and a bit of soda. It was very good though.

A night of self discovery. Those nights usually suck the life out of me. I tend to get into thoughts of self deprication. It's one of my many patterns. I agree with you about the "banalitude of humanity". Sigh... maybe you should have a drink! That might take the edge off. Today was exhausting though. The strange hostile activity towards me on The Ledge kinda knocked me on my ass. Weird that I would let it, since this isn't real life. These are filtered, safe connections being made. We can backspace. We can edit. Real life isn't like this. :cool:

you flatter yourself if you think i was talking about you.

The shower was to remove the blood? Are the bodies tucked away somewhere real good? You don't want anyone finding a head now! Make sure you put them somewhere real good. Real secret like! :lol:

Try going to a magazine launch with nerdlinger actors talking about relationships all night. Over acting. And an audience that was TOTALLY into it for some strange reason. That's what lame is! The drinks got me through the night! :lol:

I worked :rolleyes:. I'm about to change out of my uniform real quick and go meet my kinda/sorta boyfriend so we can pick up some friends to go have dinner & hang out at the Santa Monica pier once their dj shift (college radio) is done.

That martini sounds good! I like lime. And, believe me, sweetie, I had a drink. yeah, don't let the ledge get you down, though it could be soul sucking, if you let it be. Self deprecation sucks, but it's a Cancer pitfall. But don't worry, we're just as good as others, except usually without the flaming, heinous, larger than life egos. I say, the stupid person, is the one that thinks they're the best, the one that thinks they have nothing left to learn. That is the person to really feel bad for. You know, the ones with no humility, the ones who think they are always right? hehehehehehe. Luckily, though, i had a pretty fun night, because, in my head, there is always something cool going on! :lol:

you have a BF?! rad! congrats! I hope he's nice, you deserve it! :xoxo:

You are so right about people who think they are "simply the best! better than all the rest!" So true. They believe the have nothing left to gain. Nothing left to learn. Nothing left to teach. In reality, they just have nothing left to offer. What a terribly lonely existence that would be. :(

well, i'm not sure how lonely, but I would think you are right. For sure boring. :nod:

Boyfriends are good things! That's great. I don't know you at all but whenever I hear that someone is dating someone new, I get goosebumps for them! :nod:

I went to see Sin City with a few of my friends. I'm horrible at reviews, so forget about it. :p

I was also reminded of what a total asshole my stepfather is.

me, too! and, for the record, Tiff is really pretty, and nice. :woohoo:

The word "lame" is pretty much my favorite word! I think people should use it more and especially when you extend it to "laaaaaaaaaaame" it makes it all the more funny! :D

aw, you can't remember? I want to see it. Sorry about your stepfather... :( I don't have one.

I like 'em nice and I like 'em funny bitchy. You have to be funny bitchy, not just bitchy. But nice is alright too!

but it should never be used for evil, like some people, only to describe things that are lame. like people talking in weird codes, or stupid actors, or people who aren't nice, or poeple who talk about how great they are! LAAAMMMME! (I try not to be judgemental, though, so you may want to use lame more than me.) :)

I remember the drama nerds in highschool! NIGHTMARE!!! They're kinda like mormons! Charades and fruit punch is their idea of a good time! My idea of a good time: martinis and talkin' trash!

I like actors. well, I don't like them, but I like the concept. Also, it's my dream job. But I abandoned it when i realized i couldn't stand to be around actors. sad story, no? But i have just the same hate for music snobs, or in general, people who think they are smarter or better than others.

I "try" not to be judgemental, but truth is, I'm a total dink! The word "lame" gets whipped out every five seconds with me! Have you ever done a quiz on quizyourfriends.com? My friend Linda and I sent each other quizzes on things that are lame!

no. Sounds fun, but i'm trying to become a better person, not a worse one. :laugh: And believe me, I can go there with a vengeance. But it's ugly, and not nice, so I try not to. Except, apparently, I judge people who are not nice and judge people! :laugh:
I save lame for my personal conversations. We'll talk, in vegas. ;)

Man, you're riding the people thinking they're better than others wave tonight! What's goin' on?

I love watching Inside the Actor's Studio. Clint Eastwood was on on Wednesday and he was really great! He WROTE the score for Mystic River. Amazing! I had no idea he did that kinda bidness!

:lol: I love that show, but I don't have cable, currently. Wow, I didn't know he wrote the score!
I'm riding that, tonight, because I think it's mean, and not worthy, to be clannish, and to judge people for stupid reasons. I don't love to be judged, and i don't think others do, either. Not that I don't do it, but I try to be better, whereas some people try to be meaner. it's like, propogating non acceptance and meanness, for arbitrary reasons. I do enough of that in real life, where I can feel people's ucky energy. There's not as much reason to do it online. I mean, I don't feel like i'm better than everyone, and it's lame when people treat me like they are better than me. Makes sense, right?

Word........

I suspect you are right. Actors have made me sick in the past, though I love to act. Do you care about her? if not, then i'd say it was equal opportunity yuckiness. But I wasn't there, so I don't really know. And, of course, successful actors are often notorious users. Another thing I don't like. of course, some just make it on talent, etc. But I think, for the most part, you have to step on some toes to get to the top. *shudder*

Hey lame-o :laugh:
The drink was vodka, tonic and sour lime mix over ice.
Yes, the actors were mega lame, but who knew it would be all about serious actaws at a magazine launch??

Well, I liked Sin City. The black and white with occasional colour was kinda cool. It gave the movie a "Crow" feeling to it IMO. I don't want to go into too much detail until you've seen it though.

"I was about as qualified as a palsey patient attempting brain surgery with a pipe wrench". :lol:

All in all, a pretty f*cked up movie. :thumbsup:

Broad Ripple is very cool. Wait 'till you get to go to the bars there! It's always a good time. One of my fave's is the Alley Cat. A little dive in a dark alley. They've recently remodeled it.

Hope your moms don't back out. Have fun!

Clint scored all of Million Dollar Baby, too, btw....

Last night I chilled out at home until about midnight, trying to ward off a cold, when I decided to haul ass to the Double Door to see the Kills with all my friends from work. I then stayed crabby the rest of the night because I couldn't so much as hold a drink in my hand, which is why I didn't want to go in the first place. But tonight I'm going with my kinda/sorta boyfriend to see one of the nights of the week long stand that Bob Dylan & Merle Haggard are playing, which will be awesome.

Well last night (Friday) I was on call for work (in case the Pope died...I had to be ready to get the station immediatly to get special coverage on the air) - but in the meantime I went to Kohl's and bought a Farberware pan and pot cook set that was on sale (about 50% off!!!) - I didn't have any good cookware so now I'm SO excited!!! Then I came home, unpacked my cookware, played with my dog, read and went to bed (I know - I'm SO exciting and have probably made everyone wish they were me ;) )

Tonight? I am not feeling well - I've had a scratchy throat for a few days so I'm probably just going to hang out and rent movies and do nothing! My dog and I will lie around and watch the movies :D

Oh DD that sounds good. LOL.

I work and that's all! Friday night I went in at 4:30, left at 1:30 AM. I got to answer phone calls, make pizzas, clean the store, do inventory, count money, make deposit, call in numbers...all that fun manager ****.

Today I do the SAME exact thing, SAME exact hours.

And tomorrow
And Monday...Tuesday...Wednesday...MY life is damn exciting!

Yesterday, I wore my Siouxsie shirt and got many comments along the lines of "The hell?" I also fought with three teachers, called someone a douche in the middle of a busy street, and went to a collectible store and swooned over the Marilyn Monroe swag they had. I came home and listened to the Siffl and Olly songs that a dear friend sent me. I giggled like a schoolgirl in sex ed. I wandered around my house aimlessly, and ate a lot of pizza and fries, and didn't feel guilty because of my awexome metabolism. I learned that sometimes I need to shut the hell up, but I also learned that I really hate humanity, and that it's near impossible to flee the lames of this world. I also learned that I have the best friends a girl could ever want, and that the music of Jeff Buckley makes me cry like wo. So pretty.

Today's plans are to help a friend kick the ass of an ex-"friend", and we're also working on a school project. Myself? I'm going to go second-hand shopping, and I'm going to prank-call my ex. Fun fun fun!

I went out with a friend last night around 6PM. We went to a place called Iggy's which is an eatery on the beach. We got some clam cakes and I had chicken fingers, too.

I took my 35mm camera and tried to get a few sunset photos but there was really no sunset. I snapped a few pics but that was it. We then went to Stop and Shop and then we went to Baskin Robbbins/Dunkin Donuts. I tried a new flavor called Chocolate Eclair and I did not like it. I should have stuck to the Dunkin Donut Coffee flavored ice cream. :)

That was my exciting night.

I am kind of mad today. It is raining cats and dogs all day. I wanted to go to zoo to take some pictures with my new slide film. I can get in free only on the first Saturday of the month which is today. Needless to say I won't be going. :mad: I got f**ked out of my free zoo day.

I'm really enjoying reading what you guys do in your evenings. Total variety. Some people beating up ex-friends. Some people waiting to report the death of the Pope. Some people takin' it easy. Totally all over the map! It's great! And I kinda get the feeling that hatchets have been buried too. So, that's good!

Tonight: It's my mom's birthday. My parents are in town, so, we are going to a dreamy Chinese restaurant with my whole family. After that, my sister and I are going to a house party hosted by art students. Should be an interesting crowd. When I was in art school, I swooned over all the cute art boys with paint on their forearms! Oh my! So, we'll see what happens tonight. :p

Last night was dinner out (Danny's a local place here. Incredible soup & salad bar :thumbsup: ), then we walked the dog since it was really nice out. Afterwards, we moved some furniture around (with the remodelling happening, I have to move a bunch of stuff for a bit) & played video games (Millipede, Archanoid & a game similar to Spider Fighter.) Love old school video games! :)

Tonight will be more furniture moving, maybe shopping (hubby needs clothes for work) and dinner & drinks with friends from out of town.

This is weird because I was thinking about this last night. "If you can let go of your judgement of others, you can be free." If you're overly judgemental of others, then you're VERY hard on yourself. It's not a fun place to be. Been there and back.

Last night I went to see Duran Duran! Now THAT was fabulous. :thumbsup:

What type did you get? I did this for Halloween and my natural lashes were longer than the false ones! They did give my lashes an extra thick look, but not much. I really needed the dramatic over the top ones but they were already sold out. I looked fab anyway. ;)

My roommate loves him and listens. I like him well enough but don't own any of his stuff, could just borrow hers if I had to. "Me and Neil'll be hangin' out with the Dream King. Neil says hi by the way." Isn't Tori singing about him in Tear in your Hand?

Welcome to the club, hon. At Duran Duran last night there were kids there singing all the old songs who weren't even born when they came out. Of course that's not quite the same as Buckley, his loss was tragic. Good thing is, the kids know their music!

How was Duran Duran, BTW? I'm jealous. :p
