yikes

wow i nearly fainted at borders. i'll never go hours on end without eating and then taking a walk in the california sun. bad idea. how strange.. i passed out. i felt dizzy, out of balance, things were blacking out. i passed out for about 2 minutes but i heard the voices in the distance, i couldn't understand them though. i regained conciousness with a manager asking me if i wanted an ambulance. i said no. i drank some water, ordered some food, and nursed myself back to good health. but wow what an experience!

and happy birthday to that very special one :o)

markets

a highlight of iceland was the flea market. there were so many things to see and be seen. there were endless amounts of books, stacked on top of each other, one after another. literary classics, icelandic history, saga's, artists, everything you could possibly imagine. some were in english, some not.gudni and i picked up a book by eddo, an icelandic artist with amazing detail in his work.. i loved looking around the market because i saw alot of rarities you'd never find in the mainstream. old dolls, tacky vintage dresses, and paintings that probably belong on your grandma's wall. they're were candlesticks, beautiful lace, icelandic wool sweaters hung up to wear, mexican sombreros, plush ponies, old records, and even a vast selection of tomato soup! it's the greatest way of getting to know a country and it's story. it was a wonderful place to be, i definitely plan on visiting again.

that was interesting

so there i was trying to take a nap, when i hear the footsteps of heavy boots and cops shouting "he's headed southbound!" trying to catch some guy that stole a car. the helicopter was low and the lights were shining through every nook and cranny. it was loud..and most of all it was annoying. can't a girl just get some peace and quiet around here.. the weird thing about all this is that i felt it was going to happen. i've been paranoid lately because i've had strong feelings of a car being stolen. i just felt inside of me that a car would get stolen. and what happened? someone stole a car and ran right through the apartment alley. how strange.. am i really psychic? this is not the first time something like this has happened i remember in iceland, guðni had his hand outside and i told him "watch your hand guðni..just be careful. and what happened a couple minutes later? the door slammed shut, it could've been on his hand...hmm.. i don't know what any of this means..maybe i'm just a good guesser.

byee tracy!

yesterday was a jolly good time, rachel and i went to tracey's and john's to hang out before they leave to connecticut. it was actually a really good time.. they were asking me questions about my iceland trip, we were talking about anything and everything like cloning and other stuff.. watching jeopardy and making fun of american idol :o) smoking some bowls, enjoying the los angeles outdoors, smoking organic american spirit cigarettes, eating some nacho's. i think i needed that.

the american idol competition was an absolute joke. it was the first time i had seen the show since the first season. i couldn't believe how typical and lame the singers were..and how gay! i don't know why but the males were so flamboyantly gay, i've never seen it as blatant as that. 18 year old guys whose best friend is the flat iron, dick hugger jeans and a lip pout worse then zoolander. we all had to agree though, sometimes i think simon cowell cracks under pressure, but most of the time this guy has a point. pretty much everything he says i agree with. i can't believe how the audience will boo him, or shun him, i mean simon is making complete sense. he's going by the rules of the big market recording industry. there was this one guy who came on, emaciated as hell ( he probably starved himself when he know he would be on tv) and simon said, "you look like you've been locked in a room for ages, you have pale skin..skinny..shaggy hair- i don't see a recording artist". yeah..well he was exactly right but the crowd starts booing. blah whatever.

goin' on down

half giraffes

i woke up to the sound of guðni calling me, it was only twelve o'clock at night but i had fallen asleep watching south park around eight or nine. lame i know, but i just feel the need to go to bed that early. it's not because i'm twenty going on eighty years old or anything. i know it's a mix of things..adjusting to the time, and just being bored out of my mind. tracy texted me to come over around eleven thirty, but i told her i wouldn't be able to make it. i don't really know how i feel about tracy. she's a cool person but i sense something unusual about her. i do like her charm though, it's like that of a child. she's really cute and bouncy and intelligent but i think los angeles just got to her. she's going back to connecticut on thursday, and i don't blame her at all. what confuses me is that she always backs out of conversations when it concerns anything that's not a fantasy. when there's discussion on politics..the united states..the world. she just..changes the conversation back to people being half giraffe or something. but don't get me wrong, she's a great person..and an artist at best. i wonder why she didn't ask me about my trip to iceland, or why she seemed so disinterested whenever i spoke about it.. maybe it's just me. i know i can't really judge anyone, i have my flaws to.

she moved out to la with john, and i think the motive was to experience something different and see where john could with his musicial talents. the odd thing about all this is that john just finished getting professionally recorded. now he's actually able to send demo's..but he's going back to connecticut. this place is filled..absolutely filled..with people trying to make it one way or another. it really is like this. actors, musicians..they're all here. the funny part is that most of them suck. john was pretty talented though..but after a year of being here, tracy had gained twenty pounds and was getting depressed. so she's decided she's just about had enough. i've had enough to. i'm just glad i didn't gain the forty pounds.
