I want to host a Murder Mystery Dinner Party for my brithday (in less than three weeks), and I'm having trouble finding a kit, within my price range, that accomidates the number of people I want to invite (15-20). So I stole the plot of a French musical and am altering it- but I'm kinda stuck on creating enough characters and getting enough motives and am REALLY stuck on the mechanics of the party. :-\ Has anyone here hosted/participated in/created their own Murder Mystery? | | Wednesday, November 11th, 2009 | | 1:45 pm |
I would give every bone in my left hand for a working vacuum cleaner right now. I have lived here nearly three years, and for two of those years, our vacuum was a POS, but it worked. Now, since my new roommate moved it, we have two vacuums. Except now neither of them work. I HAVE LIVED IN THIS HOUSE FOR NEARLY A YEAR WITHOUT VACUUMING!!!! You don't have to tell me it's disgusting- I already know. In the last three years there have been four dogs, five cats, and five rats living here. Think of all the disgusting hair and dander and other animal byproducts just sitting in corners and accumulating on my carpets. No wonder my girlfriend, who is very allergic, can't stand to be over for more than a half hour at a time. What really gets me is that I can clean all morning (I've done every dish in the house, took out six garbage bags, cleaned the litter boxes, done the kitchen floor, the bathroom, my bedroom, and the laundry), but it never looks like it's clean because of the carpets. Ugh. Birthday/Christmas present anybody?? | | Sunday, November 8th, 2009 | | 10:44 am |
 WTF? What parent encourages this? What teacher allows it into the classroom? | | Saturday, November 7th, 2009 | | 12:42 pm |
blah
So, after spending $150 on a halloween costume and baking supplies for the centerpiece (a three teired halloweeny tombstone, cobweb, eyeball-and-finger-vomiting jack-o-lantern), I got sick and couldn't make it to my girlfriend's party that'd been in planning since before I met her. Not just, "Wah, I feel crappy, sorry, I'm gonna sit this one out," but more like "I- can't- breathe-" and going to the ER kinda deal. Started out at the the university health center and they're like, "Could be pneumonia- but we can't be sure- go to the ER" So I went to the ER and they're like, "OMG, everyone wear a mask, it's H1N1!!" They kept me over night and by the time I was released I was told it's that I have mild asthma that is significantly trigger by being sick, and I do have the flu- but they're only 60% certain it's not H1N1. Low point of the evening: Nurse Call button not working, so I puked all over myself and their equipment. High point of the evening: Putting Katie as my "Partner" on medical release forms. :') Good news! If I don't vomit for the rest of the day, there's another party I could hit up tonight, so long as I wear my mask. | | Saturday, October 31st, 2009 | | 3:14 pm |
After a MONTH I know how internet back at home. I could cry with JOY! Now I don't have to take a twenty minute bus to get to campus to write my papers- I can sit in my undies in my room, listen to obnoxious music, and work until all hours of the day/night. GLOOOOORIOUS. ALL RIGHT! Halloween shiznit! I don't generall get too excited about Halloween because I'm too old to Trick-Or-Treat, sadly. My girlfriend, however, LOVES Halloween. Any chance she has to put fake blood on herself, she jumps at it, haha. I'm actually (mostly) enjoying it this year. Katie works at a used clothing/costume shop and does special effects makeup and shit, so she's been CRAZY busy all month and when I see her, she invites all these other people along because she's trying to make time for everyone in the few free hours she has in a day. That's the sucky part. But the awesome part is that she really got my Halloween Spirit up! Katie's Pagan, so Monday we're celebrating Samhain (I think that's how it's spelled), and having Dinner With The Dead. There will be a ritual, then we'll eat our dinner backwards (start with dessert, then dinner, then salad, kind of thing) and set a place at the table for loved ones who have passed on. Tonight we're going to a party at a warehouse, then next week Katie is throwing a party at this abandoned radio tower (totally legal, she's friends with the man who owns it). And Katie being Katie can't wear the same costume to any two parties, is going as Chucky (yanno, the creepy serial killer doll?) and Sweeney Todd. And because Katie has two costumes, I've got two costumes. Actually, three, because I could dress up at work, but neither of my other costumes were appropriate. At work today I was a Playboy Mansion Pool Boy. No joke. I found the shirt at Katie's work in the used clothes and it already said that. So I threw on some baggy jeans, tapped my tits down, put on a backward cap, and used a little eyeshadow and spiritgummed facial hair to pull it off. Tonight I'm going as a bulimic in the early stages (I'm too chubby to be a real bulimc). Pretty much it's a slutty dressed with puke. I bought some fake vomit from a novelty store, cut it into bits, and sewed it onto my dress. I've got some spirit gum, dyed glycerin, and random bits of food, and I'm going to put puke on my face. It's disgusting. I love it. Then for Katie's party next week, I'm going as Mrs. Lovett. Made the whole thing myself. Crazy impressed with how it turned out. Chris, her brother, is Captain Chronic aka Cannabis Man aka Super Weed. It really is the most amazing costume I've ever seen and I would never do it justice explaining how AWESOME it is. SO hopefully those pics will go up on facebook and I'll link for everyone to see. OMG it rocks. He's not some pot head being lame- he's 46 and the president of the Salt Lake Chapter of the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Law (SLC NORML). He pretty much rocks my socks off. Except I can totally see his penis through his tights and spanky shorts. :-\ | | Wednesday, October 21st, 2009 | | 7:29 pm |
I was on the phone with my mom and mentioned that I could visit for the holidays under only two circumstances: that Katie drive me, or that my folks buy me a ticket. This turned into a discussion about how it's still "not cool" that I'm gay, and that my mom doesn't want my siblings to know until they are all adults. I asked her what an "adult" was and she said graduated from highschool. My youngest brother is only 9. That's nine and a half years before I'm allowed to tell him. I'm really depressed because I plan to do a lot with my life in the next ten years, and most of it involves a significant other (I'm not presumptuous enough to assume Katie wants to be with me for the rest of her life, though I'd like to think we're headed that way). I want to settle down, have some sort of ceremony, adopt kids, move across country, be out and proud-- It's crazy to think that in six years, when I'll likely have a partner and kid(s) that I'll be expected to show up to holidays and family gatherings alone. I want to be able to invite my family to the ceremony- to be able to let my kids call my mom "Grandma." I know it's my life and I can do or say whatever I want, but this is my mom's wish, and what I want is to respect her wishes-- but it just seems so hard and plain wrong. If I wasn't dating Katie, I'd probably kill myself. I'm not even joking. My familt life makes me so depressed. I've attempted suicide several times before because of my family life. I am just so thankful for having Katie in my life, but at the same time, it's made my family situation worse. I feel like blah. | | Monday, September 14th, 2009 | | 9:30 am |
STEREOTYPES! HATE THEM! My roommate is a lesbian. That's great. Except that she is appalled that my girlfriend and I have been dating two months and have not said "I love you," or had sex. Uncomfortable that we haven't mentioned moving in together. Weirded out that I don't identify my girlfriend as "butch." Offended that most of my friends are straight. And flabbergasted that we have not had the monogamous/nonmonogamous talk. Excuse me, but just because YOU fit into a mold that society has pressed upon you doesn't mean that I should. Maybe I'm just too traditional to be in the LGBT community. Can't I just be a normal girl who happens to have a girlfriend? LET ME BE ME! Assfuck. | | Friday, September 11th, 2009 | | 4:06 pm |
So my co-worker is having a fancy schmancy dinner party tomorrow and invited me and Katie. It's going to be the first time she's seen me dolled up and she has told me how excited she is to see me all sexy. And now I'm all self-concious. Now I want to wear a parka and grannypanties and just hide. .__. | | Friday, August 14th, 2009 | | 1:54 am |

Last night Katie was dropping me off and, like always, we started making out. :3 Cars generally drive by, but no one ever is bothered by it. Except for last night. A car with two boys, late teens to mid twenties, drove by, then slowed down- like had practically stopped right behind us. Then they start swearing at the top of their lungs (it's 2:30am, mind you) stuff like "fuck you" and "dyke" and shit. We kind of ignore them and they drive away. Only to make a U-turn and come back the other way, yelling "fucking disgusting!" Oh, how I love assholes. At least they didn't throw anything at us. | | Thursday, July 23rd, 2009 | | 5:23 pm |
UGH
Totday was a productively unproductive day. That does make sense, so shut it. I had everything written down that I needed to get done. Buy ink. Print shit. Visit the Lang&Lit dept. Open savings account for student loans. Visit DL office and finally complete driver's ed. Laundry. So I slept in a felt horrid for it, but I had a mild hangover and businesses are open until 6, so I had time. Bought ink and laundry detergent and shit ton o' school supplies. Spiral notebooks for 6cents? Fuck yes. Printed my school report and headed to the University. Turns out that the Korean class I signed up for is ONLY for native speakers and those who LIVED in Korea for extended periods of time. I have to go back later (sometime before graduation) and get my BYU transfer credits figured out. So all that cramming for Korean was pointless because they don't offer anything I can take. As I was figuring that out, learned that some of the classes I signed up for I can't take either, so I had to rework my entire school schedule. Went to the credit union where I have to have an account so my student loans will go through (because my previous lender is no longer accepting student loans), and they won't accept a learner's permit as a valid ID for whatever reason, even though I can buy alcohol at the liquor store with it. I was so frustrated that I went all the way out there and nothing got done that I cried. Just a little. Katie picked me up and took me to the driving school in BFE (butt fuck Egypt, btw) and the fucking place closed early! It's open 'til 6 and we got there at 5:30. WTF. And they don't open again until Monday. Their phone is just a voice recording, so you can't leave a message or talk to a person. So I have to go back next week so I can make an appointment to come back again to take a written test. From there all I need to do is take a road test and viola! ID which I can then use to open an account. Issues with this: I have to get it all done within the next few weeks or 1] I have to pay $300 to retake the driving class (I hate this Utah law) and 2] my student loans won't have time to process and I won't be able to take classes and then I won't graduate until 2011, which- ew. I hate odd numbers. BUT I did spend the whole evening with Katie (seriously, she's not sick of me yet? Every day for the last FOUR WEEKS we've spent together. :DDDDD I am officially head-over-heels for her. I'm not sick of her yet, either. | | Monday, July 13th, 2009 | | 6:13 pm |
I was tryinto show Katie how domestic I would be- and I burned the crust of the banana cream pie I'm making. Now I feel like an epic failure and want to seriously cry. | | Sunday, July 12th, 2009 | | 2:03 am |
 That's my girl- isn't she just cuuuuuuute? That's her "brother," Timmy. She's got like 43261879 siblings who aren't actually siblings, but rather really close friends, which is cool because now I don't have to remember all of their names. Even though I remember most! Tonight was way awesome, we went to the Jazz Festival with her dad, stepmom, brothers (real this time) Cris and Dave and Dave's family (Dave's wife, Debi, worked with me at Sugarhouse Coffee and said I was practically family now :']), then to meet up with her other "brother," Jeff, who just returned from his SECOND deployment to Afghanistan. Then the night went less awesome because none of Jeff's friends showed up to his welcome home party (his cousin was hosting, so all of his cousin's friends showed). Let's just say it involved lots of vomit, about 40 high/drunk people, a firetruck, and the county sheriff--and was decidely less spectacular than it sounds, but 80million times more dramatic. BUT SERIOUSLY!! Look at her CUTENESS!!!! | | Thursday, July 2nd, 2009 | | 4:59 pm |
Someone just called to say that they found my cat dead in front of their house a few days ago. Now I have to go on my date all red-eyed and weepy. And my co-worker confided in me that my boss calls me "that fat lesbian bitch" at least twice a day. It's the "fat" part that gets to me. I've lost nearly twenty pounds! I'm only ONE POUND HEAVIER than "normal" girls! That makes me feel sick. Maybe my date will cancel. That will just make everything shiney and awesome. Current Mood:  sad | | Tuesday, June 23rd, 2009 | | 8:29 pm |
Cassius just pooped in the hood of my sweater. Thanks a lot, Buttmunch. | | Friday, June 19th, 2009 | | 8:17 pm |
So I adopted two rats yesterday. True to my word from a MILLION YEARS AGO, I've named them Stephen Cornfoot and Cassius Warrington. Mr. Cornfoot has a bald spot, and Cassius has already been nicknamed "Buttmunch." My cat Pinky, aka Penny, has no interest in them. Simon-Severus, my other cat, kind of wants to eat their tails. Elliott the beta, still lonely, has started swimming lopsided, so I might get him a Saul buddy to keep him company. And all is right with the world. | | Thursday, June 11th, 2009 | | 2:53 pm |
Soo this girl who likes me that I kinda like back totally made dislike her yesterday. We got in an argument over veal. I understand that not everyone is going to agree with the fact that I don't eat meat, eggs, dairy, or items made from animal fat. That's cool with me. I totally support your right to think however you want to think, but dear GOD. She just kept going on and on about how delicious veal was and how she wants to raise her own veal so she can have it whenever she wants and telling me that I'm stupid for not eating meat. I told her that not eating meat just one day of the week would cut down on water polution and could feed the hungry- and she pretty much said that we should raise more cattle to feed the hungry- and she was totally missing the point. I have so lost my desire to get to know this girl any further. I mean- yikes. | | Sunday, June 7th, 2009 | | 9:01 am |
HAPPY PRIDE DAY EVERYONE!!!! I am going to the parade and then the festival and it's raining so I'm gonna get wet and I'm gonna like it! | | Wednesday, June 3rd, 2009 | | 9:28 pm |
JEN I KNOW YOU'RE READING THIS! WHY DON'T YOU STOP STALKING ME AND JUST GET OVER IT ALREADY, HUH? |
