Slave 1

What bliss.

To get your house chores done before even have to worry about getting ready for work is a good thing. I am just super relaxed today and I am glad for that much needed sleep.

Although, I am highly addicted to facebook and I am on there more. It appears that people are loosing their interests here on live journal. Do people actually read what I put here? Or is this a wasted entry? Just curious?

I think certain blog networks like Facebook and Myspace are good for networking. I just like live journal because its a quick tool to use and its also my therapy when I need to rant now and then. Sometimes you just have to vent and this works.:)

Today is the day for my new gig.

Mon, 26 Oct 2009 13:32:57 GMT

Woke up with a great sleep last night and my back no longer hurts. I feel really good today and I am just going to take every day with an open mind and learn as I go. I am a bit nervous and I'll need to work on that.

Hope everyone has a great start to their work week!!

-Carolynn

Welcome to the real world.

I've been receiving a lot of party invites for Halloween and for the upcoming weeks. If I had to kindly decline its because of my new crazy work schedule. I am DJ-ing at Spooky this year and this is the ONLY Halloween party that I am able to attend. If you want to have me at your parties,please tell me in advance.

I might be able to attend one_andrea's Halloween party. However, it really depends on how I will feel. I am working the entire weekend and missing out on a lot of Halloween parties. One of the main reasons why I did not get a Halloween costume this year.

For future gatherings, I will need up to a week or two weeks notice to decide on what I will be able to do with my schedule. No more set schedule's like I use to have at my old place of work, its going to have a variation of different set times which I like anyway. Not the same old routine and easily not boring for me.

Hope those who invited me to their parties understand and I would like to hang out in the near future. A ladies night is in order soon and I also need to adapt that into my new schedule. Being the boss is not going to be easy that's for sure.

The company was good, but....

Sun, 11 Oct 2009 23:23:51 GMT

Paranormal Activity was not worth the money in the world. I jumped a couple of times and I laughed more at the audience with their screaming. The ending was well... you see it for yourself. The company was great and it was great to get out. Just think twice before you see it, wait until the movie comes out on demand, which will probably be after Halloween is over with. :P

-Carolynn

Excited about going to the movies today.

Sun, 11 Oct 2009 14:52:39 GMT

A bunch of us are all going to the 4:25pm showing of Paranormal Activity at the Lowes Georgetown theater on K street, NW. If you are interested in hanging out you are more than welcome to join us. I believe I plan on getting there around 4:00pm just to get the tickets and get a good seat.

Looking forward to get the daylights scared of me!

-Carolynn

If you could go to dinner with just any 5 people(alive or dead), who would those 5 people be?

Mon, 05 Oct 2009 22:50:49 GMT

1.Shirley Manson. I would be really keen on just quizzing her for just any question as he accent is just amazing. Just hearing that woman talk would be just dreamy.

2.Marilyn Monroe. Just to be in the same room with this goddess. Yum

3.Hugh Hefner, I think he'd be proud to see my playboy bunny tattoo.

4.David Duchovny, well, I just want to fuck his brains out. Never mind conversation!

5.Depeche Mode. I would love to meet the band, never have and I don't think that they will get a kick out of my depeche mode tattoo. Although, I would not mind getting alone time with Dave.

:)

My new goal.

Sun, 04 Oct 2009 22:15:20 GMT

Is to start taking more photos with friends on a regular basis because you never know what will happen to them. Friendship is a glorious gem to me and I have very few friends,however,they are all very precious to me. Yesterday, at the party I started to remember Louisa and how much I really do miss her. Its almost been a year of her passing and I am still having difficulty with it. I don't know what made me write this about her, I just felt like I had to share this with my live journal friends.

I was super happy with the people who showed up at the party because it was with my closest friends who care about me. Who never judge me and who never look down on me. I am really blessed with the friends that I have and I will always love you guys so much. You all mean the world to me and from now on, I plan on taking more photos just to match the moment and keep that memory alive.

Speaking of photos, here is one of my sweet friend Javier and I. I should have taken more photos at the entire nights festivities, however, I was having too much fun! I made out with a chick, I kissed a sexy as fuck German dude and I just had a wonderful time. :)

Enjoy the photo and thanks again for an awesome day. Now, I am going to cook my birthday dinner with Steak, potatoes, and green beans. With birthday drink, Blue Moon Pumpkin Ale, yum!

Hi LJ!!

Sat, 26 Sep 2009 13:13:58 GMT

Its been a couple of days. I'm alive, exhausted and ready to get in another day at Caribou. "sigh"
I wish I have today off!! Bound's gig was great,however, during my second set around 1:45 my body said,"hell to the no" and my friend Marti took me home. My legs were just so tired from standing for 7 hours. With getting my hair done and a 45 minute nap, my body just really did not have the urge to stay up late.

I had a blast though.

Thinking about seeing a movie and going to have sushi tonight. :)

There goes 6 hours of my life.

Sat, 19 Sep 2009 22:49:56 GMT

"Yawn". What a boring day and I don't blame people for not wanting to come into a coffee shop on a beautiful day like today. It sucked because I was stuck in a useless store with another co-worker who was COMPLAINING all day. BORING.

I can not wait to get out tonight. The weather and the day is simply just full of wonderful energy. Despite my silly whiny post about work, I plan on taking the boring work energy and releasing myself with full on dance mode. Those DJs better place good shit tonight. :)

Just added at Midnight!

Sat, 19 Sep 2009 00:04:23 GMT

Just added to the Midnight lineup for Saturday, Sept. 19: In addition to Radio-Active-Music.com, in the vendor corner you'll find Clothes That Kill (http://clothesthatkill.com), Tony Tribby's enterprise, which sells some remarkable clothing and gear!

That's one more reason not to miss the Midnight reopening party, which also features music from 9:00-3:00 by DJs Phae, DuJour, and Cheetahdave (XUBERX); limited "open bar" from 10:00-11:00; drink specials all night long, and bar service extended to 2:45; food discounts and longer (1:30) service hours; giveaways, including free cake and some copies of the poster for next Wednesday's KMFDM/Angelspit show at the 9:30 Club; and more!

Midnight, the D.C. gothic/industrial scene's largest, friendliest, and longest-running weekly party, is back. Come help us celebrate that on Saturday!

Friends/weekend.

Fri, 18 Sep 2009 15:00:40 GMT

Today I am meeting a friend and going out to lunch. Tomorrow I am going out to Midnight w/friends and getting wasted. Well, sort of wasted, since I hate waking up the next day hung over.

I think that I am going to be dressing up tomorrow. Today, I shall clean my area of the apartment and get back into organization.

This is why I wish I qualified for Lasik surgery!

Thu, 17 Sep 2009 20:25:42 GMT

For hours today I was trying to find my glasses. With the amusement of others on my facebook, I made a complete ass of myself with really bad grammar and errors on facebook. However, do people really care all that much about proper grammar and spelling on a facebook account? To me, since you are only opted to right small lines or phrases, it should not really matter.

However, I did crack up a lot of people today and that I am thankful for making them laugh. :)

See.

Carolynn can take a gentle ribbing.

-Carolynn

PS: In other words of the point on the subject line, I really wish that I had not wasted so much time looking for my glasses. In stead, I gave up and bummed around making an ass of myself on facebook. Oh yeah!

bounce bounce.

Tue, 15 Sep 2009 00:47:02 GMT

Eeek! OMG! Too much caffeine in me. My heart was racing today because I had too much coffee. Now, I am drinking herbal peppermint tea and I feel relaxed and really good.

It was so beautiful out today that when I walked into work, I told my boss that I want to have a leave of absence. He said "oh you too?" I said, and what is your reason? He said, its fucking beautiful out side.

This my friends is the only thing that he and I agreed on today.;)

-Carolynn

Did Sunday have to go so fast today?

Sun, 13 Sep 2009 22:18:09 GMT

"sheesh"!

I really wish that my weekends would not fly by as quickly as they do.

Forgot to post this here.

Sun, 13 Sep 2009 20:27:24 GMT

No club Vertigo on October 30th and once I get more news as to why, this is all I can post. I am a bit sadden that I could not DJ on Halloween and add Sp00kie flare to it. "sigh"

Speaking of gigs though:

I have a guest DJ spot at BOUND on 9/25
I also have a guest DJ spot at Eclipse on 10/16

Both are Friday nights events. One night in DC and the other night in B'more.

Hope to see you there as its been a long time since I have last DJ-ed.

--Carolynn

Heading to Spellbound tomorrow night.

Fri, 11 Sep 2009 17:35:11 GMT

Even with this dreadful weird cold fluky weather. I am hitting Spellbound tomorrow night as I have not been out all Summer! So, its time to get the velvet on and my nice long coat and head over to L street for a little bit.

Come on and join me with several friends of mine.

-Carolynn

Perfect day

Tue, 08 Sep 2009 22:36:28 GMT

This has got to be one of the best days in a long time. The reason? Getting off of work early because we were a ghost/ghoul town again. Plus we were over staffed by a dozen or so people. So, I volunteered to take the day off.

Had the best breakfast ever, pumpkin bread w/a candied apple latte that I made which had the best smell ever and the Soy milk with it was just divine. I also bought a real breakfast of scrambled eggs, crispy beacon, and home fries. Yum.

Took the best nap ever and felt rested.

Had constant flattery by gents and ladies about pictures and me being a good friend. I was blushing by mid afternoon.

A pleasant phone call from a dear friend whom I just adore.

A nice dinner

Finally...

Clean clothes. Nothing can beat a good day with clean clothes and watching spooky movies while folding clean clothes.

I really feel loved.

-Carolynn

Happy birthday goes to

Sat, 05 Sep 2009 14:31:40 GMT

djpsyche I hope that your hang over isn't as bad today as tomorrow's will be.;)

--Carolynn

I am so late on films to go and see

Fri, 04 Sep 2009 23:54:40 GMT

I want to see so many films that I know that by the time I get to see them, they will be on demand or at a best buy near you. Sad. Isn't it?

Guest DJ-ing at opening night for Vertigo on 10/30

Thu, 03 Sep 2009 19:33:25 GMT

YAY! A new bar near me in Dupont Circle,where I can take a cab to and it will not be at all expensive!!

This is going to be one of the best new Friday nights, I think and I am honored to be the first guest DJ to spin with these talented lovely folks!!

I so want to go to this!

Still feeling crappy today.

Sat, 29 Aug 2009 20:45:52 GMT

Maybe a good horror film with vampires, blood and horror will get me in a better mood. I hate feeling this lethargic and crummy. Its not a cold, I've come to the conclusion that I am psychically too old for retail and a nicer job with more pay sounds better as I think about it.

I don't want to have Monday here just yet, please make Sunday a slow day and not a fast pace one.

-Carolynn

Becareful out there tonight/tomorrow.

Fri, 28 Aug 2009 22:24:35 GMT

I know some of you are going to Renn faire tomorrow and other outings too, just be careful on the road please when driving! It is going to rain like crazy tonight, tomorrow, and on Sunday. Please be careful on the road and I hope that Renn faire has a successful opening start,even with the rain. Wish I can go, but read down below and you'll understand why!

I had to cancel out on Friday's plans and also on Saturday, because I feel totally broken today.My work week was completely crap and very stressful. You would think that working at a coffee retail shop would not be as bad. Well, I know that the 20 something year old kids who work with me can still go out and party. Me on the other hand, I am sadly resting this weekend. I cannot afford to get sick at all and I'm just going to take it easy "old granny style".

So, I ordered Chinese food for dinner w/a nice large Hot and Sour soup. I am not taking any chances on getting sick and I just need the rest this weekend.

Thanks for the BOUND crew trying to get me out tonight and thanks for a few girlie friends trying to get me out for Spellbound tomorrow. I'm just beat. Thanks for understanding my good friends, its nice to feel loved.

Oh and I must not forget the Wassteland people too, too many invites and my body gave out on me. Sorry, guys!
