Feelin' it.
I got back from LA, none the wiser, but so much more tan. Actually, I don't tan, but sometimes when I get enough sun my freckles blend together to give the illusion of a tan. I've decided that I love LA. There are palm trees everywhere, and the entire 120 mile city is one big strip mall. If there is one thing that I like, it's strip malls. Well, I like malls and I like strippers, so I figure the combination is gold. My plan is to go on a diet and move to LA. I've already started. My diet plan is rather simple, I eat exactly what I would normally eat, I just feel really guilty about it. It's a plan that nearly anyone can follow! I had a great time there though. I got to see my old friends and stay in a fabulous house and pet a dog with a snaggletooth. And I must admit that I smoked cigarettes all weekend. Because I was on vacation, you know. And I drove the entire trip down by myself, which was almost 6 hours. I had decided that Mary was too small to drive my big car, but as it turns out she handled it quite adeptly on the way home. I drove faster than I have ever driven before too, which was super fun but I can't tell you how fast I drove because I have too many snitches reading this site who might report back to my daddy.
While I was there, I got to see yet another Electroclash extravaganza (seems like they are following me, almost) where I saw the infamous Avenue D again. Their line-up of songs include, "I want a donkey punch" and lyrics like
Cum on my tits
Make me twitch
I'm a dirty bitch."
I'm sure you can see why I have the utmost respect for Daphne and Debbie. I went to that show with "Jamie" of unprotected sex fame of a few posts down, and she reminded me that four years ago we had made plans to start a band called "Unprotected Anal Sex With a Stranger." Had we followed through on such plans, it would be we, and not Avenue D performing in LA wearing nothing but pasties.
I actually have a number of band plans in the works at the moment. There is Lina Squared with the other Lina, The Invisibles (of which I am DJ Lina Invisible) with Teresa, and now of course, the resurrection of Unprotected Anal Sex With a Stranger. It's particularly intriguing because I do not play any instrument nor do I intend to learn. Unless of course we hark back to the tamborine debacle.
I'm afraid though, that once I move to LA I won't have a whole lot left to fall back on. I've always kept Los Angeles in the back of my mind as a place I might want to settle, and once I burn through that city, I'm not sure where I will have left. Unfortunately, I have terrible language skills (I only speak the language of love) so I am afraid to leave the country for an extended period. There's always England, but the weather sucks. And weather is important, you know? I'm just rambling because I should be doing my homework right now. I've been putting it off for 12 hours.
In other news, I've decided that I am completely broke. Apparently, I have this little "problem" that haters like to call a "shopping addiction."
And PS you better start leaving more comments here, I'm getting bored.
I read your article about Go Ask Alic and Beatrice Sparks. I am writing a paper about ant-drug propaganda from the 70's and focussing primarily on the book. It's refreshing to see the criticism. I have only found that people were saved by the book. I haven't cited it yet, but it is possible that I will. Your article says to email you if I do. Does this mean that you're ok with that?

thanks,

Wow Lina,
Shane | April 15, 2003 6:20 AMYou are really looking good in that picture titled "feeling it". Looks like you are doing well out in California.
I'm not a stranger, am I? I do love you after all.
Michael | April 11, 2003 1:45 AMOk, here's the thing. My parents know me pretty well, so when I talk about having unprotected anal sex with a stranger they know (or can pray) that I am kidding. But when I talk about speeding on my road trip to LA, they know that I am deadly serious. Oh yes, very serious.
And yes Cat darling, I have to move to LA. And now I have a drummer for the band!
Lina | April 11, 2003 12:53 AMI'll play drums for Unprotected Anal Sex w/ a Stranger. Every female fronted band needs a male drummer after all, it's a rule.
Another bandname: Penis Cleavage
tas | April 10, 2003 8:21 PMyou MUST move here! asap. soooooooo good to see you. snaggletooth misses you, now there's only a cold spot in the bed where you used to be
ps. Hans Bellmer is one of my all time favorites of all time. why do I love fucked up dollies so much?
Unprotected Anal Sex w/Stranger RULES 4EVER!
cat | April 10, 2003 10:45 AMYou put me on the spot. I adore the fact that you are concerned that your pater will find out you drove at 115mph, yet remain unconcerned to his thoughts on the matters of dieting, strippers, Unprotected Anal Sex, addiction, porn and moving to the world's chocolate-starfish capital.
At least you don't have a leg fetish.
"you better start leaving more comments here, I'm getting bored" - sigh. LA really got ya.
Anyway. You look happy.
k | April 10, 2003 6:57 AMLinaaaaaaaaa Did you get my frigging mail???? I havent received a reply ;( Will it come like 6 months down the line. ;-)>
Questions for ya:-
1) Why did you go to LA to begin with??
2) Why are you always so skint??? You obviously have a mind that can make big $$$
3) Controversial but I will say it. You seem to have a fixation on porn and obviously see its potential for big bucks. Do you feel you could get into it??? Or possibly you already have!!!! No offence meant.

No Tan Here Either | April 10, 2003 3:08 AMGod, you keep getting hotter and hotter. However will I restrain myself next time I see you?
PS: Nice shirt.
frances | April 9, 2003 8:04 PMTwo leg shots at one time! This is truly a blessed day.
Thank you Lina.
Michael | April 9, 2003 4:42 PMSounds fun. Mary said she had fun, too. But, I don't want you to move there. I need you here. AND you look skinny and beautiful in that pic.
tracy | April 9, 2003 3:17 PMYay! I've been checking in every few seconds to see if you posted about LA yet! And here it is!! I too have plans to be in a band, but cannot play an instrament. But I want to learn the drums. The only prob is we need to build another garage to put my drums in and play. I insisted that a "revival" tent would work just as well.
You look great in that pic, I should try you diet also!
Have you considered living in Dallas? I want to go there, along with LA. And for some odd reason, the Appalachian mountains? I think that goes back to the "revival" tent?
well tootles!
