No really I'm alive

Sorry I haven't blogged in a while. Not that you guys are on edge waiting to hear about my fabo life or anything. I have been on a courgar prowl as Puuuurrrr usual. (get it?...yeah I'm a dork)

I have been hanging out with Nate again. I was so wishing for a summer romance and all the fun stuff that gos with it, but apparently we have become serious without me noticing. His Mother invited me to dinner with the family...the whole family. AWAKWARD! this guy isn't even my boyfriend, just someone to hang out with and look at cuz he's pretty. Then it went from dinner with the whole family to the mom calling me on my cell phone asking me to go to sushi with her...uhhhh sure (yeah I can't even tell my own mother no) so we went to sushi. Don't get me wrong, as moms go, she's pretty cool. I actually enjoy her company a lot. But the whole time we are there she is trying to sell me on dating her son exclusivly...then I thought about it. I have been seeing him and him only for a solid 3 weeks. I didn't even know it! whoops. I think I accidently got a boyfriend. An unemployed 23 year old with no car. but thats actually a step up because unlike the last one he at least has a ss#. I don't know what happened. it snuck up on me. it snuck up on me and bit me in the butt. usually I look out for the signs that a guy is getting serious, like leaving his phone charger at my house or a c.d. or video game or the matt he uses at nap time in kindergarden....the usual stuff they try to sneek by me. There was none of that, insted he used him mom to suck me in, his mom that cooks awsome food and has 500 channels of cable and a gameroom and a hot tub.....and the sweetest golden retrever that apparently loves my leg more than anything in the world. So I put my foot down....I told him we are just dating and when he gets a job and a car we can be more serious, but I wont see other people.....yeah thats pretty much what I said. I don't know what that mens, but i said it in hopes that I wouldn't be trapped sooner than I wanted. Not that I don't want someone to be close to, I just want them to have things like jobs and cars so I don't have to be a atm machine or a taxi. maybe I am just picky. meanwhile, Nate is actually a great guy, if I cook he busses the dishes, if I need something heavy moved he moves it, he takes out my trash and tells me I'm pretty. I guess thats okay for now. I just think I am in shock. ehhh, it could all change next week. I did happen to meet a cute bassist in my friend Karen's husband's band thursday night. Yeah so Nate was my date that night, but this guy was HOTTTT too. It was kinda hard to slip him my number while Nate was giving me a hug, but I managed it with my super cougar ninja skills. It was in poor taste to do so, trust me i know that, i just wanted to make sure I had options. A girl can nevr have too many friends. He has a job and a car so yeah. plus I have had so much fun the last 2 years dating a bunch of guys and seeing whats out there, I'm thourougly disapointed most of the time, but I get out of the house. LOL.

So the Band we went to see Thursday night was Anaurora. My friend Karen's scum sucking husband is the drummer (they got back together a few weeks ago and I haven't come to terms) So the band played in San Fransisco at a bar called: Hotel Utah. No kidding I was laughing when we parked. so I took pictures for you guys. enjoy:

The band, hot bassist is far right.

hot bassist....drool

And me and Nate. Yeah he's a hottie too. LOL

Oh and tonight, I went out with my usual crew to dinner. Natalia is leaving for Paurguy on sept 2nd to visit her family so we had a bon voage (sp?) dinner for her tonight. It was fun. We went back to her place after for drinks, well in my case for a bunch of antacid and ice water. And of course I captures some more shananigins.

Elisa and Natalia enjoying some wine.

The brothers a huge flippin' beer.

Okay so thats my update. Not that exciting, but ehhh. school starts on sept 3rd so I am trying to have the most fun I can before I have to go back to being a good well behaved teacher. I have been practicing the phrases most commen in my classroom over and over in the mirror. Like : get that figer out of (insert bodypart here) before I take your recess away! and for the love of everything holy, quit peeing on the rug! and the usual do you smell something? So I think I am ready. wish me luck or better yet wish them luck. LOL Love ya!

Kat-a-tonic

It started with one cat. He was big and orange. I named him random. Random because he was just some random cat that showed up in my back yeard last year. He was nice enough, but I don't like cats. I happen to have cat food in the house because sometimes the lizards will eat it in a pinch, but Random showed up so I gave him some. A few weeks after that random brought a little gray girl cat over to eat, okay so maybe he was on a date or something. so I fed them both. I thought it was kinda cute how he brought her over and she seemed sweet and nice. Then Random stopped comming around....okaaay, now the little gray cat decided she would show up twice a day. I don't like cats. so I fed her twice a day. I mean she seemed so small and sweet and friendly. But really I don't like cats. I don't like fleas or litter, or that smell they spray and I like all my chairs and couches non-shredded. so yeah, then a few days went by and I haden't seen the little gray cat around. I didn't worry, why should i? she's not MY cat. I don't even like cats. I can't have them in my house, I have 2 lizards and a bird, thats like setting myself up for a blood bath to ensue. Plus like I said I don't like cats. Little gray cat started to come around again. so I fed her some more, I mean I had a few bags of cat food just layin' around. someone needs to eat it. I figured I would run out and she would go away. Because (lets say it together) I don't like cats. I guess little gray cat realy liked me or something because she decided to bring me a few gifts. No, not dead things like rats and mice and birds, but much much much freekin' worse. She brought me theese:

A bunch of little mouths to feed. Now I know what happend on that date with random, notice the orange kitten...yeah. The worst part is there are 5 kittens, the other one is pretty skittish though. the mom (little gray cat) is the one in the lowere left of the pic.

apparently they see fit to walk right into my house.

and tour my back yard, that was my back yard, I guess it's kitten haven now.
Blasted! It's cute and fuzzy. Great. I became the crazy cat lady in apartment 56. Little gray cat is knocked up again by the way. I'm going to start rolling the kittens up in news papers and delivering then to other people's houses soon. meanwhile, anyone need a cat?

gettin' in the mood for the tattoo expo!!!!

Every August here in the bay area we have a Tattoo expo at the Oakland cow palace. And every year I go. And every year I am poor and can't afford to add to my skin art. :( But I go non the less, to see new artists and old at work. I flip though their photo albums to see what they have done and collect their cards if I like what I see. The artists come from all over the world. I have had the pleasure of talking to some famous artists and meeting new friends who also like body art and modifacation. I have seen some things I wish I hadden't (even I can still blush) and I have had the chance to hold Natalia's ahnd while she got her nose peirced. That was great, she didn't belive me when I told her that her eye would squirt out a jet of tears. I know mine did! They usually have a few bands playing, some food places and shopping for things like purses with skulls on em. (I so want one) They also have a tattoo compatition, where the judges score them on certin aspects of the body art, from fine line work to color work to old school or retro tattoos, asian inspired, bamboo art (ouch) and photo renditions....the list gos on and on. It's a huge affair that last about 3 days. This past year a few people had decided to get tatoos at the expo or soon after when they had the money and located the artist they picked out from the show. I decided to take pictures of a few of the tattoos for fun and to share with others. I included my own as well. well, most of em. LOL Hope you enjoy, and if you have any (*cough* you know you do *fishy fishy* feel free to share as well) :)

2 Of my Tattoos. The purple writing I got in Japan, it's Kanji for Cho -Cho meaning Butterfly and was done with bamboo. I can still remember the sound of the bamboo sticks hitting eachother, funny enough it was the least painful. The black fine line was done 11 years ago, if you can't tell it's a sleeping pixie. It was done the "normal" way with a tattoo gun and the artist was a hot mexican guy who also peirced my nose...(boy would my parents love to talk to him) Lucky for me he is serving as a guest in the state pen for assult! Whew! dodged one there!

This one is on my right sholderblade, It's actually a cover-up of my ex-husbands name. This guy did a great job, you can't see his name at all. And it went along with my fairy theme, this one is about 8 years old.

This is a bad picture of her, but this is the one on my left sholderblade, I derw it and took it in and a nice guy did this one for me as well. Her Butt looks kinda big, but oh well. It's on my back so it's not like i have to see it. LOL Funny enough the guy who did this one is also incarserated for assult. I think I am cursing my tattoo artists! I got this one about 7 years agao. I scratched it while it was healing and it needs touch up pretty bad. LOL

This is one of a matching pair of starts I ended up getting in Berkey with Natalia about 6 years ago. Natalia got the same one only she decided on blue and black. I was on a marti gras kick for some reason and did the star in green and purple, This also inspired me to re-do my bathroom at my mother's house the same colors, she wasn't inpressed. They are on my left and right sholders. Haven't heard from this artist...he seems to have dissapeeared. LOL Figures.

This Picture was taken seconds after Trinity finished it. he designed it and I adored it. It's my favorite one so far. Maybe because it's the newest one, I got this one a year ago today. None of my tattoos have any real meaning, I like fairies and stars so thats what I seem to stick too, but this one had some meaning for a change, I asked for 4 stars all compleatly diffrent. Each star represents my imideate family. The largest being my dad, down to the smallest being me. This was the most painful one I ever got. the rest were only mildly irritating, this one had me silently screaming my head off. But it was worth it. My parents actually like this one.

This picture is super tiny but if you look hard enough you can see 2 tattoos. The smaller one is just a simple black spider I decided to get on a whim. I was babysitting the day after and the kid smacked it thinking it was real. Dang brat!that one would be about 12 years old. The one under it would be my first Tattoo I ever got. I was only 16 and compleatly under age. It's a tribal Falcon I saw on the shop wall. I thought it was great (still do) it's pretty small, but imagine how long I hid that thing considering that my parents only learned about it 5 years later. It's amazing what stickers can hide.LOL the guy that did this tattoo also did the cover up of my ex-husband's name. I belive he isn't in Jail or at least he has been released.:) I also have one on my ear, it's a tulip, but don't havea picture of it. It's the smallest tattoo I have. Therefore the hardest to take a picture of.LOL

This is a Picture of Nauel's forearm, He decided to get this last year at the tattoo expo. It's a Koi fish, he also has a Tiger in a jungle on the same arm on his Bicep.

This is Rodrigo's (Natalia'sother brother) first and only Tattoo so far. he got it last year at the tattoo expo as well. This was one of the best artists we researched. This sugar skull was extreemly expensive, but worth the money for the quality work that he did. Rodrigo cried, and we laughed at him because we are mean girls. LOL

This is my friend Freddie (my ex's best friend and one of my suitors) He is in the middle of getting cover up work done. He has lots of tattoos, but I don't have Pictures of them all yet. I haven't seen the finished product yet, but will post the finished tat once I see it. He will be moving into my apartment complex in september so I will be seeing him a lot I am sure.:)

This is my friend Rosa's arm. Sje got this one when we attended last years tattoo expo. The colors are amazing, the same artist did Nauel's Koi fish.

This would be Nate's tattoo. nate is one of the 23 year olds I date from time to time. And this is why I started talking to him. I fell for his dumb line when we met and he told me, "alisons your name?, why I happen to have your name tattooed over my heart!" I was had. I adore a man who can make me laugh and this was extreemly funny to me. it still is.

This is also Nate, His last name is Vias lobos, so he has a slight obsession with wolves....I have an obsession with vampires and fairies so I can't complain.

Nate again...shirtless in my livingroom on a hot day...(THANK YOU) He got this tattoo because he had a huge scar running down his arm. I never asked how he got the scar, I was sidetracked by his shirtlessness.

This is Nate's back. Again work in progress. I went with him to get theese all done 3 months ago at the same time. Not shure where he is going with this or what his point is, but he's shirtless in my living room. Thats all that mattered to me. LOL :) Okay so he said he need a place to work out and watch the olympics at the same time and his parents wernt giving up their livingroom so I said he could come over and I would watch the olympics with him and provide lots of water. Little did he know he provided the eye candy for my day.:) LOL

AHHHH Nate again...*drool* I put this one here so we can all enjoy his prettiness, in all his shirtless Glory...except for Boo, Boo don't look at this! Boys have cooties till your 20 years old!

Nate and me, dang he is so pretty. Wish he was older. Although I do have my cougar status again since sailor guy still hasn't called. LOL

okay well thats it fo rthe tattoo pictures, hope you like em. I will have more I am sure. I do have plans to get another one on my left foot to match the right one, as well as one on the back of my neck. I'll have to see what kind of money I have in the bank. Kisses!

beer pong, breaking dawn, and sailor status

Okay Gilbert still hasn't called me. Ither I really did kill him with my cooking, or he wasn't inpressed with it. It couldn't be me...LOL. I'm so flippin' charming. But I did like him more than the others, Oh well. Guess I can get back to my cougar status.:)

I finished Breaking dawn today. Usually i would have read though the book like my life depended on it, But I was hoping to pace myself to make it last the whole month of August since I have it off. I took at least 2 weeks. I tried so hard to make it last, but I just couldn't. I don't want to say anything about it incase I spoil it for someone out there who is still reading it. But it was good! I guess I have to wait till december 30th for the twilight companion book to come out now. At least the movie comes out December 12 though. I plan to be there like a dork with Natalia, dressed up again like a dork on opening night. Since the movies are NEVER as good as the book, I expect to be disapointed and I plan to pick apart the movie. But I always hope in the back of my mind it will be as good as the book, if not better.

Okay Now for Beer Pong. Apparently Natalia's little brother, Nahuel and his Buddies from high school (whom I date because I am a cougar) made up a game called Beer Pong. They Play this game at their friend Nick's house. Nick is 23 and still lives at home with his parents so there are there at the beer Pong parties. So from what I observed that night, the game is simple enough although I would assume it would have to be simple considering how drunk you get when you play it. You take a long drop leaf table, drop the leafs (leaves? whatever) and fill plastic cups 1/2 way with beer (the cheeper the better) Then you set the cups up like bowling pins on ither side of the table. You get a ping pong ball and you and your opponant (sp?) stand across from one another and bounce the ball into a cup. Now I have seen this game before and it's called quarters, but they seemed so proud of them self for "making up" a game I didn't want to point it out. When a ball falls into a cup your opponant drinks said cup of beer. simple enough right? I thought so too, but then they tossed in a few distractions, like gutair hero playing in the background, hands over cups, pretty girls walking by and shouting, loud music and a pig. yes I said a pig running around. ducks too. Natalia and I cowered in the corner for the most part. I couldn't play because I was the driver for the night (shucky darn) yeah like I was going to drink from a cup that had a ping pong ball in it that just hit the floor where a pig was. Nick's parents hung out with the kids and played along and when one of the guests walked in at 1 a.m. with her 2 year old in tow, no one batted an eyelash except me and Natalia. Maybe it was the straw the broke the camel's back, but really, a 2 year old at a BEER party? What are you kidding me? That was un-acceptable. So naturally I hint at the mother who was all of 17 and knocked up again, that maybe, just maybe her 2 year old would be happier with a baby sitter since he was screaming at the pig and scaring it to death. The mom actually said oh yeah his baby sitter is here and she points to another 17 year old in a 1/2 shirt who is sucking face with Nick. ewwww.

Then I make a run to jack in the box with a few of the guests. we eat in the car and then get back to the party, we were gone all of 10 mins and by the time we had returned natalia had gotten herself into a heated discussion with Nick's dad, the host of the party might I add, about the war in Iraq. Nick's dad is a republican (boo) and Natalia of course is a democrat. they are shouting at each other over the music and it sounds bad. They are arguing right next to a duck filled pond it the front yard. The visions in my head of the near furture looked bleek, wet and smelled of duck poop. Duck poop smell that may have to ride in my car. It's now 3:32 in the morning and I am beat. Natalia is fighting with the host, most of the beer pong loosers are passed out the ones who won are making out and me and the pig decide to hang out for a bit. His name is Andy. He's pretty cool. I hauled natalia away from the impending poop swim and tell her it's time to go. I get her home by 4:00 I get to my place at 4:45. I wake up to a text from our pal Nick, he asked if we are up for Beer pong again on friday........duhhh yeah we are so there.

This is Andy the Beer Pong Pig. and my new friend.:)

Me Feeding Andy a carrot. he was awsome.

Part of the mess, that I Don't have to clean up!
Natalia NOT laughing at this guy who tried to hit on her all night.

Uhhh huh?

Dude, hot Navy guy Gilbert hasn't called me in 3 days. I don't know what happened. My mom thinks I killed him with my rancid cooking.....what if I did? I don't want to call him because I am a big stubbron mule and want to stick to my saying "alison doesn't call boys, boys call alison." Maybe I did scare him off with my cooking. what if he had bubble guts and the green apple splatters all day and is trying to recover? I mean I know I haven't had to cook in a few years, but most of what I made him hadden't expired too long ago. It should still be okay, I ate the same thing and I'm fine. Plus he had navy food for 20 years, his taste buds should be non-exsistant and his stomach cast iron by now. I should be able to feed him rotten liver in a dirty ashtray and he would like it. navy food isn't fit for prisoners! Crap....what do I do? what does it mean? I swear I never farted around him....that I know of. hummmm

HUmmmm, a new victim (i mean guy)

Okay okay I know Like the Black sheep doesn't have enough problems with the other guys, Why would she bother adding another one to the mix......Cuz hes H-O-T! I may be tempted to burn my little black book for this one...okay maybe erase some numbers from my phone...(but write em down first incase it doesn't work out) I Kinda like him way more than any of the others. Of course he's shiny and new and I haven't seen his dark side yet nor has he seen mine, but I have p.m.s so he will get his fill soon. If he survives it he may be a keeper.
His name is Gilbert (quit laughing) Chavez (I know another mexican) I can feel your eyes rolling. But this time he has a social #! points for him! he has a job (score!) and his own truck (someones helping me move outta the ghetto) and he is 41 (okay so 10 years older) I may loose cougar status because of this. But he is retired from the Navy (I know I was married to the navy once already) and now he is in the reserves (chance he will have to ship out) But that also means he has all the grown up crap I need him to have, like insurance, helth care and access to bases for shoppin (the gards are catching on that my millitary i.d is expired) He works nights though so seeing him has proven to be kinda hard. But that may be the saving grace, the less he knows about me may be the better, since according to my ex's I can be hard to deal with. LOL. But there is a catch.....(yeah like you didn't see it comming) he has been married 3 times, all during his navy days. Now since I have been a navy wife, I understand the stress put upon a millitary marriage, I saw my friends go thorough it, personally I didn't mind it when My husband shipped out because he was rotten, I looked forward to it. But I guess if your lucky enough to score a decent man you would miss him when he left. Apparently his ex wives had a hard time with it. But since he is retired it isn't much of an issue. But 3 times! dang. Thats like J-low status. Not quite sure about how to feel about that. maybe it wasn't the millitary, maybe he's a giant butt munch. Maybe I shouldn't give up all my numbers yet. hummm, I'll give it a shot I guess see what happens. What do you guys think?

The picture is small, but He was holding a firearm...yeah thought that maybe that may un-nerve some people...although most 7 year olds in my neighborhood carry them around. LOL

Pictures of the family

I know that when we were back in Utah to visit, we never got to see everyone, so I thhought I would post some family pics here, so you can see how grey we all became and old and saggy. LOL enjoy.:)

Oh yeah, that studly dude with the who just farted face is my dad.

Me and dad at the coffee shop.:)
okay tahts about it. Hope you had fun:) Yeah I know we ain't purty but we know how to party.:)

IT's Here!

Yes I am a Twilight freak. I admit it. Britt is too. we bonded over it when we came to visit in June. the truth be told, I have been hooked on the twilight series since it came out. Buying the books as they were released, pretending they were gifts for younger people, when in all honesty, they were for me. Kinda like going into a cool record store and buying the Jackson 5 album and trying not to make eye contact with the clerk. I have managed to get Natalia and Rodrigo hooked as well, oh and 2 girls at the coffee shop my parents and I go to daily because we have no life. Since ann rice stopped writing of Vampires I needed something vampiric to read in it's place. Vampire novels are like a sucurity blanket for me for some reason. Or maybe because thats the kind of man I need, pretty, never have to cook for him, scared of the sun, and sleeps during the day so he wont cramp my night life.:) But The long awaited final book in the twilight series came out last night or this morning I should say at exactly 12:01 a.m today. Boarders had a midnight Vampire party for the release of course and stayed open just for this event. Naturally since I am such a flippin nut for the series, I had the countdown posted on my myspace page to remind me, I had it schedualed into my phone, I set alarms all over the house to make sure I didn't fall asleep, I had it scribbled on every calendar in the house, I had it pre ordered at Boarders and they called me to remind me that the book was comming out that evening. I ordered shirts off the internet professing my adoration of the series and wore them proudly for 3 weeks till the event. And then I remembered that Rodrigo was d.j ing at the lost weekend the same night and I was their sober driver for the evening. So Like a good friend I picked Rigo and Natalia up at 8:30 and we went to the Lost weekend and he bagan to d.j. by 11:15 my alarms atarted to go off on my phone. I was kinda trapped, what do I do? I can't leave my friends who are so clearly past drunk that they have started to play sward fights with the pool sticks marking eachother up with blue chalk. I was stuck. drawn by my love of Vampires and the love of my best friends. The friends who came to my wedding, visited me in the hospitle when I had my gall bladder removed, drove me to and from places when my car was in the shop, bought me lots of dinners when I was broke, helped me clean up after a party, saw me through several break ups and have covered for me when I needed them to when I got caught with yet another tattoo when I was only 16, the list gos on and on. So i did the only thing a good friend could do....Appoint a compleate and total stranger to watch them while I drove the 40 miles from Alemeda to Fremont to run in and pick up the book. The guy was just stiiling at the bar doing nothing, so I put on my best girly smile and sweetly begged him to watch my friends. I slipped him $20.00 and promised him I would play pool with him upon my return. When he asked what was so inportant that I had to leave my beloved friends behind for an hour or so, I didn't lie, I told him of my obsession. He gave me the $20.00 back and handed me $40.00 out of his own wallet. Apparently he too is into the series and wanted me to pick the book up for him as well. But with instructions to keep it in the bag so his biker friends couldn't see the book. :) So i was off, telling Natalia that I had to rush home to grab a pair of flip flops because my high heals were making my feet bleed. Sadly it wasn't a lie, but whats a little pain when it comes to fashion and prada shoes right? I rushed out of the bar (limping from the pain might I add) jumped into the pt crusier and took off, I made it to Boarders in record time (even the cops were inpressed) and fell out of the car leaving it running and abandoned my shoes on the seat and bare footed it like a drunk brittany spears in a public bathroom to the front door. It was packed, I have seen a colective group of freaks before ( I do live near Berkely) but WOW. I was breathless, mohawks, fangs, leather, purple hair, ripped jeans, tattoos and peircings galore. I felt at home in my black cocktail dress and bare feet instantly. Until I realized all those freaks were 10 years younger than me. I looked like one of those crazy cheerleader moms who would kill to get their kid on the squad. One of the clearks asked me if I was here to pick up my kid. (before you ask, no I did Not punch her) I looked her in the face and said "yeah like my kids would be able to read." I scooped up 3 heavy books of sheer vampric joy and stood barefoot in line for 15 mins. Busted out my teacher discount card and was on my way back to the bar. By this time my feet were Black and i think I may have stepped in something dead, but I got the books!!!!! I left 2 copies of the book in my trunk and brought the 3rd copy (wrapped in the bag) to strange biker dude at the bar. I gave him his change and counted my friends, I came up with the right ammount of pals so snockered they thought I was only gone for 10 mins when I took an hour and 7 mins. I gave biker dude his book and he left right away. I re-joined my group only to discover Natalia's little 22 year old brother had perposed to his 19 year old gilfriend in my absance! The nerve of some people! Can't they wait for me? LOL (she isn't knocked up, I was inpressed yet so surprised) we decided to go to denny's after the bar closed to celebrate their engagement. I mean honestly, what elese is open at 3 a.m? we were out of classy options plus we are all poor. We ate and my pals sobered up to simi annoying and then I gave Natalia Breaking dawn. She cried more when I gave her the book then when we found out the kid was going to get married. That is how we roll. LOL. I retured my pals to their home and headed home myself limping into my apartment at 4 a.m. I washed my face and began to read. I fell asleep with the book open and on my face around 8 a.m. I woke up at 11.a.m reading more. I put my make-up on while reading, I brushed my teeth while reading, I drove to my parents house while reading (sorry to the old guy in the focus who I nearly side swiped) I started my laundry at my parents house while reading, I drank coffee and played scrabble with them while reading (and still won a game with a 222 score!) I came home and took a bath while reading. I am blogging and reading. I have refused dates parties and my usual taudry night life for this book. I only have 3 chapters to go and now I am so sad it will end. Thank goodness for my anita blake vampire hunter series waiting for me on my book shelf................
