The Rhinestone Files: File #136 Puppy Love. →
On Sunday Agent Rhinestone and her BF spent the entire day at the Seattle Humane Society in Bellevue. Animal shelters generally make Rhinestone cry… but this was different….
All my friends are getting new pups! I just love all the happy changes in people’s lives.
goodbye.
no.
no.
so sad.
no, too sad.
no.
i don’t wanna.
no.
i don’t want to say goodbye, knowing in my bones that life goes on without me.
...deep breath...
Whew.
Everything is going to be peaches and cream. I just threw myself a good old fashioned blog tantrum yesterday. Kids are great. Have them. Just maybe wait until you’ve gotten all the naughty stuff out of your system first.
Here’s some real life facts:
Today is my last day at my current job. I brought in tiny donuts. Pink ones with sprinkles. It feels…like nothing...
Think about this before having kids.
If your friends are renting a 30 foot RV and driving a party bus up to a remote island where there will be yoga, drugs, food and so many great memories, YOU CAN’T GO.
If you suddenly are offered an amazing job in an amazing city and are required to start soon, YOU CAN’T.
If you enjoy spontaneity, SORRY.
If you like your boobs perky and cute, NOPE.
Tie your tubes and get a dog.
Things are sinking in
I just realized that today is the last Wednesday of my life that I will work at my current job.
The last Wednesday I will walk from the bus stop and do uneventful things, like pass the post office and think about stopping for coffee somewhere even though I never do.
The last Wednesday I’ll settle for the free office coffee, power up the ‘puter, avoid that annoying message light on my...
FFA (Future Friends of Amanda)
Ok, so, Craigslist once again has proven to be the coolest, most random thing on earth (except for maybe Japanese snack foods).
So far I have talked to a club promotor in Daly City (um, can you say GHETTAWESOME?) a vegan couple in the Mission (dare me to roll up in leather pants with a sack of Slim Jim’s?), a house full of anarchist squatters in the Tenderloin (there’s lice and broken...
Garsh
Thinking about things is exhausting! Almost as exhausting as writing devastatingly desperate attempts for strangers to want to house me for a month on Craigslist.
Sample:
“Hi! I’m a 30 year old female who likes ponies and nutritional yeast! I’m moving to San Francisco because I got a job! I don’t watch a lot of TV, but I will if you want me to! I’m not looking...

My Hero
My fella shared his dream with me this morning. He dreamt there was really loud pounding on the door at 2 AM. Loud, aggresive, scary pounding.
So I said “you need to get a Louisville Slugger to keep under the bed, you know, to protect us”.
And he said, “Screw that. I’d climb out the window.”
Wait. You’d CLIMB OUT THE WINDOW if someone was violently...
Hitch yer wagon: A rant
You know the Twitter page Shit My Dad Says?
So it got me thinking. This kid starts tweeting stuff his dad says, then he lands a book deal, and now they are turning it into a TV show starring William Shatner.
The universe is insane. The internet is Hollywood. Why even bother wishing for talent or beauty or brains? Just think of something, then do it, then get enough people to buy off on it...
Still waiting
Still anxiously spying apartments on Craigslist, reading up on public alternative schools in San Francisco and nervously wondering who my new friends will be. You know that feeling, that moment when you walk into a room- whether it be the first day of school or the first day of work- and you realize that someone in this room is going to be my new friend, we are going to slowly reveal ourselves to...
